"Alright, big brother is right."
Black Friday nodded.
Then, First Dutiful Son’s expression beca serious.
He contacted his guild’s chat channel:
"All participating players, attention!"
"Prepare for battle!"
...
In the ranks of the Eternal Church.
Benedict II rode on a white horse, surrounded in the center by Judgent Knights and Church Bishops.
His gaze swept across the forests on both sides of the road, a trace of mockery flickering deep in his eyes.
The next second, the leaves in the forest rustled, accompanied by a piercing whistle, countless arrows and various offensive magic, shimring with skill brilliance, poured down like raindrops, striking towards the army of the Eternal Church.
However, looking at the sudden attacks from both sides, neither the Holy Angels in the sky nor the Judgent Army on the ground seed to care.
The bishops in the ranks narrowed their eyes.
They looked at the priests and shouted:
"Holy Shield!"
Imdiately, brilliant light blossod from the sun emblems held high by the priests, and translucent shields appeared around the army.
Under the astonished gaze of the ambushing players, the torrents of arrows and magic, upon hitting the translucent shield, could no longer advance.
"Damn... a mobile enhanced version of the Divine Arts defense barrier, huh?"
A player couldn’t help but grumble.
First Dutiful Son’s expression subtly changed.
His gaze shifted for a mont, finally snorting coldly and ordering:
"So what about the shield? Being so close, there will be gaps. Everyone, focus on attacking those in the center of the army with the most splendid holy robes!"
With First Dutiful Son’s order, players of the Azeroth Guild Alliance ambushed on both sides of the road instantly took action.
With a roar, they drew their weapons and leaped out of the forest.
However, just as the foremost players jumped out of the forest, Benedict II glanced at the trees on both sides, his gaze once again sweeping over the bishops around him.
The bishops understood, looked to the priests, and shouted:
"Judgent!"
In the next mont, dazzling brilliance gathered on the sun emblems, and golden flas shot out from the center of the sun emblems, targeting the forests on both sides.
"Not good! Dodge quickly!"
Feeling the platinum flas approaching, First Dutiful Son’s expression subtly changed.
However, the speed of the flas was faster.
In an instant, the platinum Holy Fire turned the forests on both sides into seas of fire, along with the players ambushed there.
Exclamations and screams mingled with laughter, as one by one, flaming figures struggled to run out of the forest, so scurrying wildly, others yelling as they charged at the Eternal Church’s army.
The Judgent Knights looked coldly at these burning players, raising their bows to shoot rain-like arrows.
Along with the sound of arrows whizzing through the air, those players attempting in their final monts to rush into the Eternal Legion to pull down enemies with them were pierced into sieves by the Judgent Knights’ arrows, disintegrating in light.
With the protection of the Life Divine Skill, the Holy Fire spread in the forest did not burn long before slowly extinguishing.
However, the players ambushed within had already turned to ashes in the flas.
The Azeroth Guild Alliance, despite the advantage of geography, quickly assembling tens of thousands of troops for ambush, was wiped out in an instant.
And on the side of the Eternal Church, they were unscathed.
In the short span of the battle, only a portion of Judgent Knights and priests raising sun emblems made a move.
The other Eternal Bishops and Angels in the sky did not participate throughout.
The unprecedented disparity left players who survived from the forest, gazing in awe at the Eternal Legion, shaken to their core.
Always the ones to press the enemy, they finally encountered an unprecedented opponent.
However, unlike the players whose hearts were stirred, the army of the Eternal Church remained tranquil and composed.
After annihilating the ambushed player troops, they continued marching forward in neat formation towards the depths of the Elf Forest as if nothing had happened.
Their ironclad discipline, their expressionless faces, sent chills down the spine of the escaped players...
...
"The Azeroth Guild Alliance’s ambush failed, utterly wiped out. The Eternal Church possessed quite a formidable defense barrier and could counterattack too..."
In the further depths of the Elf Forest, the commander of the second wave of players said solemnly.
This was an ambush force led by the Heart of Nature garrison, supplented by other small and dium guilds.
Due to gathering for a longer ti and being closer to the Elf Forest’s core area, their overall strength was stronger than the Azeroth Guild Alliance’s ambush force.
Among the players, one could even see several Magic Crystal Cannons sponsored by old players of the Amway Chamber of Comrce and ngng Committee.
"Never mind the enemy’s overall strength, we need a way to break their defense barrier first."
"This kind of defense barrier has never appeared before, whether during the War of Gods and Demons or the Great Holy War; it is likely the true trump card of the Eternal Church..."
"So, at any cost, we must find a way to shatter this golden canopy!"
"Prepare the Magic Crystal Cannons and Divine Punishnt Bombs! Yes! Use the ones seized during the revolution!"
"I refuse to believe that carpet bombing plus suicide Divine Statue Bombs can’t blast a hole in this invisible barrier!"
The commanding player snorted coldly.
The second wave of players clearly had more experience than the Azeroth Guild Alliance.
Under the command of this veteran player from Heart of Nature, combining the recent ambush experience shared on the official site by the Azeroth Guild, they quickly prepared a new plan.
And when the vast army of the Eternal Church entered their ambush range, the second ambush began.
The first to sound was the fire of the Magic Crystal Cannons.
The Magic Crystal Cannons positioned on distant hills spewed flas, sending a barrage of elental shells into the army of the Eternal Church.
"Holy Shield!"
The Church Bishop’s expression grew solemn, continuing to shout.
Brilliant light descended, a platinum shield rose, and under the players’ heavy gaze, after the cannon fire, the Eternal Army remained unscathed.
In the next mont, player suicide squads clutching the statue of the Eternal Lord charged out of the forest, yelling at the top of their lungs.
However, before they could approach the Eternal Army, the statues hidden in their arms suddenly ignited, and in their dazed gaze, exploded into a sea of fire.
Arrows rained down from the ranks of the Eternal Army, landing in the forests on both sides, accompanied by the Holy Fire shot from the sun emblems.
The Holy Angels in the sky also drew bows and shot arrows, targeting the magic crystal cannons on the hill. In the panicked gazes of the cannoneer players, light arrows arrived in an instant, turning the hill into flat ground.
The second wave of ambush troops did not last long, soon following the fate of the first wave, completely wiped out in a sea of fire and arrow rain.
And the side of the Eternal Church remained unhard...
If the outco of the first ambush spreading only left players shocked and amazed, then as the results of this second ambush spread, nearly all players fell into silence.
At this mont, they finally realized they might face a completely different opponent from past armies.
This was an unprecedented formidable enemy.
"Ambushes are useless, only adding casualties; even with the dragons’ support from Dragon Island, it probably won’t suffice. Rember... those angels and demigods haven’t even taken action."
Having watched the videos uploaded by ambushed players on the official site, Li Mu said solemnly.
"Brother Mu, how should we fight then?"
Beside him, other players asked.
"Chosen City..."
Li Mu thought for a mont, then said:
"To have a chance, we’ll likely have to rely on Chosen City."
"Just as only magic can defeat magic, to counter the defense barrier, we must also use a defense barrier."
"The enemy’s goal is the body of the Goddess, so... the final battle must be at Chosen City."
"Perhaps, we should concentrate our forces and start the battle here; it’s also more convenient to reach the respawn point."
