Chapter 734 - Silent Battlefield
In the Stoneclaw Mountains’ outer region, Zero Wing’s ten 1,000-man elite teams finally faced the legions from the Star Alliance and other enemy Guilds.
However, Zero Wing’s elite legions were at a disadvantage.
Their opponent outnumbered them by more than ten times.
“It seems Zero Wing really wants to die here. Despite so few players, they still split themselves so sparsely. We mustn’t let the other Guilds get a head start on us.” Red Feather also ordered his army of 30,000 elites to split into multiple legions to surround Zero Wing, afraid that they would lose Zero Wing’s elite members to the various large Guilds.
The other Guilds had sent more than 70,000 elites in total. The army was more than enough to deal with Zero Wing’s 10,000 elite players.

Just as Red Feather led the Star Alliance’s army to Zero Wing’s position, the other Guilds began to clash with their enemy.
However, Zero Wing’s elite members had slightly superior equipment. Moreover, the battlefield was only so large; only so many ranged players could attack at once. Hence, when it came to ranged firepower, Zero Wing had a slight advantage. After several exchanges, Zero Wing’s foe had already suffered over a hundred casualties. On the other hand, Zero Wing had only lost a dozen or so members.
Other than the difference in damage, Zero Wing’s elite members were far more adept at dodging attacks. In addition, their HPs and healing prowess were much higher.
Zero Wing’s ranged players only needed three to four hits to kill an enemy elite. However, if the various Guild’s elites wished to finish off one of Zero Wing’s, they needed to land roughly six attacks. Yet, against Zero Wing, the Guilds’ elites could only dodge three or four out of ten attacks. On the other hand, Zero Wing’s elites could dodge at least five attacks.
The difference in equipment, Attributes, and combat techniques, though small, was clear for all to see.
In the end, this minor difference impacted the results significantly.
“Damn it! All MTs, advance! Ranged players, cover them! Healers, follow!”
“Assassins, circle and deal with their healers!”
“Don’t be afraid! We outnumber Zero Wing! When we reach them, victory will be ours!”
…
The upper echelons quickly issued the orders to charge ahead when they noticed Zero Wing’s strategy of attack and retreat.
Immediately, a collection of Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights emerged from the Guilds’ elite army, every one activating their Lifesaving Skills as they charged madly at Zero Wing’s members. The healers supplied these MTs with endless streams of recovery spells from a safe distance.
However, no matter how hard these Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights tried to dodge, no matter how much healing they received, or how they lifted their shields as they forged ahead, they died helplessly as Zero Wing’s hundreds of ranged players blotted out the sky with a rain of Fireballs, Frost Arrows, and normal arrows.
If one watched from afar, they would see row after row of Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights tumble to the ground.
“How is Zero Wing’s firepower so powerful?!”
Only 40 yards stretched between the two armies. Yet, to shorten the gap by 20 yards, the various Guilds had lost over 300 melee players. Even the upper echelons flinched at this spectacle’s brutality. They had never imagined that Zero Wing’s ranged attacks would be so powerful. Before they could even reach Zero Wing’s elites, their legion, which began with more than 4,000 players, had lost close to 500 members.
