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

Chapter 502 - Kill One of My Own? I'll Destroy Your Stronghold!

Nie Yan, Bladelight, Sun, and the others swept away everything in their path. They led the vanguard, closely followed by others from Asskickers United. Taking down a single arrow tower took a squad less than five minutes.

Asskickers United had come prepared. Before the players from Eternal even had a chance to do anything, they were either ambushed and killed by Thieves or blasted to smithereens by Mages.

Before long, all the arrow towers had fallen.

Most of the Eternal players were still gathered on the walls. They had no idea what was going on inside the stronghold. As the arrow towers fell to the forces of Asskickers United, their crossbows were turned on them.

“What the hell is going on? Why are our own arrow towers attacking us?” 

“It’s Nirvana Flame!” 

“Asskickers United is already inside the stronghold!” 

Mass panic erupted on the walls. The players were running around like a bunch of headless chickens. With the arrow towers firing at them, they turned into target practice dummies.

The walls only had one entrance going down. It could fit 10 people at a time. However, waiting at the bottom were the players of Asskickers United.

The Eternal players on the walls were trapped.

At this moment, the 1,000 players inside the Magic Prison Stronghold had already been wiped out. Only the 4,000 players guarding the walls remained standing. Normally, without a catapult and with the support of the arrow towers in the rear, this force could easily hold off an opposing force one two three times their size.

However, no one expected Nie Yan to employ such an odd method to bring his forces inside the Magic Prison Stronghold. It was an ambush from the inside out! All of Eternal’s defenses became moot. Even their arrow towers became tools for Asskickers United to slaughter them with.

「Whoosh!」A streak of light shot out of the arrow tower and skewered four players to the wall.

“Fuck! Take back the arrow towers!”

“We can’t! We’re trapped on the walls!”

Another wave of bolts came falling down from the sky. The Eternal players were like wheat ready to be reaped, collapsing in droves.

Nie Yan, Sun, and the others watched over the battle from an arrow tower. After the hail of bolts, the walls which were originally filled with players became littered with piles of the dead. It looked like a rice paddy field with all the bolt shafts sticking out of the corpses.

Sun and the others were rendered speechless. This was the most one sided slaughterfest they had ever witnessed.

After three waves of bolts, of the original 4,000 players on the walls, only 1,000 survived. Another three waves later, and only a few stragglers remained standing.

The forces of Asskickers United charged the walls, sweeping through like a raging tide and killing off any and all remaining survivors.

Asskickers United took over the stronghold in just over 10 minutes. They faced little to no resistance at all.

“What do we do with this stronghold?” Bladelight asked. Asskickers United was based in Calore. Their influence in Kavodin was too weak. Occupying this stronghold long term simply wasn’t feasible. However, if they just left like this, it would fall back into Eternal’s hands.

“Since we have no use for it, let’s raze it,” Nie Yan said. For killing Xie Yao, he wasn’t satisfied with merely slaughtering the forces in one of Eternal’s strongholds. This matter wasn’t settled yet.
