Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 418 - The Real Battle Begins!

The Occult Summoning Array would take a long time to complete. Summoning the Molelord would also require a lot of time. In preparation for that, Yao Yao and another Great Mage worked together to construct a barrier to conceal their presence from the outside world and protect against attacks.

With the perimeter secured, they could begin.

In the meantime, the 1,000 players in the main group had organized into their respective ranks and hid themselves in another region of the mountain. They weren't allowed to approach the Occult Summoning Array, so they had no idea what the players on Nie Yan's side were doing.

For the sake of preventing information from leaking out, Nie Yan had no choice but to take such drastic measures.

As a Level 100 monster with 2,000,000 health, the Molelord was an unstoppable behemoth. The only thing capable of posing a threat to it on the enemy's side were the three Armoured Catapults. That was why, before the Molelord was summoned, they had to be destroyed at all costs!

Without anything capable of threatening its existence, the Molelord could rampage freely on the battlefield!

Under the bombardment of the Armoured Catapults, the outer walls of the Cripps Strongholds were already starting to show cracks. The players stationed nearby also took heavy losses. The situation was chaotic, with loud explosions constantly rocking the walls.

The higher-ups of Bloodlust Blades, Alliance of Mages, Divine Protectors, and Angel Corps were observing the siege from atop a hill some distance away. Even they couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble at the destructive power of the Armoured Catapults.

"Why has there still been no movement from Asskickers United's side?" Mad Blade frowned.

"Relax, they're probably just turtling since they don't have a good way to deal with our Armoured Catapults. No matter how many players they send out, we'll slaughter them like livestock!" a tall youth declared with a confident smile. He looked to be in his twenties and had an air of grace and aloofness about him. He wore leather armour covered in elven totemic runes which shimmered with an azure glow and carried a two-meter longbow on his back. Surrounded by a fiery aura, one could even see a flaming bird dancing along the shaft and string.

It was the Ichabod Ocean Star Set and the Palente Phoenix Longbow, both of which were Sub Legendary-grade!

This sort of equipment didn't lose out to Nie Yan's in any way! But while he focused on quality and raw stats, Nie Yan focused on more special items.

He was the guild leader of Angel Corps-the Elven Demon Hunter, Soaring Angel!

Some of the people here were evidently Soaring Angel's confidantes. Angel Corps was without a doubt the most powerful guild in the Satreen Empire. They had far more influence than Bloodlust Blades, Divine Protectors, and Alliance of Mages combined.

Thanks to the backing of Cao Xu's Century Financial Group and two other hedge fund firms, Angel Corps was provided the best environment to grow. Situated in King City, there wasn't a single enemy capable of posing a threat to them, to the extent they had become an unstoppable leviathan in the entire Satreen Empire. Constantly waging wars in other cities in a bid to expand their own domain and sweeping away everything in their path, they already controlled a total of 17 strongholds.

Even though Angel Corps was based far away in the Satreen Empire, their influence could even be felt here in the Viridian Empire. Add in Soaring Angel's background on top of that, and Mad Blade along with the guild leaders of Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors could only blindly follow.

Despite most of the players on the battlefield belonging to Bloodlust Blades, Soaring Angel was actually the person calling the shots.

"We just received word from our intelligence that Nirvana Flame along with a large group of elites are setting up an ambush for us in the mountain forest to the north," Mad Blade said after checking his chat.
