Chapter 274 - Guardian of the Underground Palace

The purple cannonball was targeted at the Coalition headquarters where Xiao Feng stayed, which flew really fast. With a shocking sound of bang, a purple shooting star arrived whistlingly!

A group of advanced NPCs nearby just scattered away. Xiao Feng didn’t know what it was, so he didn’t react fast enough. When he came to himself, there was no one around him but the purple shooting star was so close to him that it was too late to run away.

However, Xiao Feng was not afraid anyway. On the one hand, he had a Space Ring to teleport himself away. On the other hand, he had a resurrection skill. In this case, regardless the power of the Evil Crystal Cannon, it could not bomb him to death.

“Archbishop! Here I am!”

However, when Xiao Feng was ready to activate the Space Ring to dodge it, the loyal guard, Captain Bolton leaped up at the moment with his left arm raising the holy shield. A holy light formed a light wall in front of him and then he went towards the cannonball that was like a purple shooting star!

They were hit against each other!

Dong!

A small purple mushroom cloud rose in the sky. With the explosive sound, the air was bombed away, blowing Xiao Feng away.

“-1000000!”

An extremely horrible damage indicator emerged in the air, which was the damage on Captain Bolton caused by the bombing. However, after the mushroom cloud was dispersed, Captain Bolton was still not dead and got blown down miserably with low HP.

“Bolton, are you okay?”

Xiao Feng hastened to strike a Holy Light Skill and a Shadow Word on Captain Bolton so as to regen his HP.

The Evil Crystal Cannon was too horribly powerful. Captain Bolton was a level-30 boss of faerie type, who had an HP of 200,000, but his HP was almost exhausted by one cannonball.

Luckily, Captain Bolton exerted his defense skill. Otherwise, he would be dead, because the attack power of the Evil Crystal Cannon was as high as 1 million! No wonder Legion Commander Tiger and the other advanced bosses ran away so fast!

Faced with such damage, maybe a myth-level boss would be sec-killed if being struck in front without any defense. Surprisingly, there was this powerful weapon to guard the city in the City of Gloom!

“I am fine, Archbishop. Yet, since we are detected by them, we must launch strikes as fast as possible. It takes quite a long time to recharge Evil Crystal Cannon and we shall not give a second chance for it to attack again. Otherwise, it will pose a great threat to the Coalition! I didn’t expect that there should be the Evil Crystal Cannon in the City of Gloom. This is a weapon of mass destruction that is only owned by the major dark cities!”

Xiao Feng’s healing ability was very strong. As it could regen the target by percentage, which also applied to Captain Bolton with stunningly high HP, Captain Bolton’s HP was increased at a visibly fast speed. Then he said to Xiao Feng in a hurry.

“Attention! March towards the City of Gloom! Attack!”

Without any hesitation, Xiao Feng shouted, sitting on the back of Xiaoxue!

“Neigh!”

As Xiao Feng shouted, a sound of horn came. Instantly, Imperial Third Legion started off and struck attack at the City of Gloom. So did the Light Temple. Five Temple Guarding Paladin Orders and one Tribunal joined the Imperial Third Legion and charged forward towards the City of Gloom!

“Squeak!”

The sudden change of the City of Gloom happened at the same time. The ground about 5,000 meters away from the City of Gloom was flat before but now it was all turned over. It turned out that numerous skeleton creeps came out of the ground in crowds!

The war broke out in an instant before they approached the City of Gloom!

“Commander in Chief! The City of Gloom has been well prepared! These creeps were not strong but there are too many of them, which will drag the feet of the Coalition until the Evil Crystal Cannon is fully recharged for the second time!”

The Commander of Third Legion Tiger came and said to Xiao Feng with worry.

He was right. The skeleton creeps had formed a sea of skeletons. There were more than tens of millions of them. Even if they were only level-20 elite creeps that were 10 levels lower than the weakest warriors in the NPC Coalition, they prevailed in terms of number, which would be able to stall the Coalition.

“No worry.”

Xiao Feng didn’t give any comment. Horrible as the more than tens of millions of creeps were, they had the same quantity of players. Maybe each of the players couldn’t even get one creep. Moreover, they were only level-20 elite creeps, which wouldn’t cause any threat to the current players. They could even handle one alone.

Indeed, without any help from the Coalition, the various guilds charged forward immediately. The players and skeleton creeps were hit against each other. Stimulated by the 10-time experience points and dropping rate, every player was spirited and just regarded the creeps as the massive achievement points.

“Make a slit for me.”

Xiao Feng sent messages to Liu Qiangwei and War Spirit Sky respectively. Their guilds stayed next to each other. After receiving the message from Xiao Feng, they made a slit in the skeleton army for the Coalition to get through.

The Coalition, consisting of over 200,000 members was not prominent in the war of such a scale. Led by Xiao Feng, the Coalition went through the slit between Midsummer Guild and War Spirit Hall and then pierced through the skeleton army like a fierce sword, marching towards the rear of the City of Gloom!

“Growl!”

The outline of the City of Gloom became visible. The tall and ferocious ramparts were shown in front of everyone. Every side pillar, just liked a huge and fierce fang, made the whole main city look like an enormous beast creeping the mist!

However, at the moment, a sound of growling came from the skeleton army. The first advanced boss showed up. It was a level-30 boss of faerie type to guard the City of Gloom! Guardian for the City of Gloom!

“I’ll handle it!”

A Paladin in Chief went forward. Just like Captain Bolton, he was also a leader of the Paladin Order guarding the main city as well as a level-30 boss of faerie type.

“Our target is the gate! Break it through as fast as possible!”

Xiao Feng gave the order loudly. The gate was not as thick as ramparts, making it the best option to storm the city. Moreover, it would be easier to break through and let the major force of the players go into the city.

“Growl!”

“Feel the horror of darkness falling!”

However, the attack didn’t go well. The appearance of Guard for the City of Gloom was only a start. Numerous advanced bosses showed up around and struck at the Coalition!

Meanwhile, a lot of advanced warriors emerged above the ramparts of the City of Gloom and jumped down to join the war. The Coalition started to encounter the hindrance at once.

“Hang in there till the support arrives. Those with DPS attack the gate first!”

Now the Coalition trapped in the fight with the Dark Legion were like falling into a mire and melee fights were happening everywhere. Yet, Xiao Feng was not worried. The players charged forward at a fast speed. It would not be long before they arrived. The Coalition only needed to break through the gate before that.

“Holy Light! Protect us!”

More than 20 bishops of the Episcopate and hundreds of ritualists finished their joint enchanting at the moment. As a result, the gray sky covered by the mist of war suddenly broke dawn, as if the sun rose in the sky and shone the whole battlefield!

“Come on!”

For the moment, all the NPCs in the Coalition were covered with golden light, thus sharply enhancing their fighting capacity and enabling them to march towards the gate!

As to the Dark Legion, they were screaming miserably. Especially the Enchantress Troop screamed nonstop in the holy light with black smoke rising out of their bodies, as if melting.

Xiao Feng looked at the Episcopate and the holy light cast from the sky with admiration. Needless to say, the level of such legion-level skill wouldn’t be low!

“Emm? What?”

Suddenly, when Xiao Feng just withdrew his eyes, he found that at the corner of the messy battlefield, an Undead Soul boss holding a steel shield attracted the attention of Xiao Feng.

In fact, an Undead Soul boss was nothing prominent because there were a lot of Undead Soul bosses everywhere. Yet, this Undead Soul boss was rather special, for its name was Guardian of the Third Floor of Underground Palace!

It was the grand underground grave guardian that Xiao Feng had been searching for!

“Really?”

Xiao Feng was shocked with staring eyes and instantly exerted his scouting skill to check on it.

Introduction: Guardian for the Third Floor of Underground Palace was ordered by the ruler of the grand underground grave to guard the City of Gloom.

“Holy crap! It is really you! I have spent so much effort in searching for you! It turns out that you are here!”

Xiao Feng had nothing to say about it. No wonder he found the skeleton creeps quite familiar that he met in the Dark Land before and felt that they were similar to the creeps in the Bone Mountains. It turned out that they were not alike but that they just moved. Even the creeps and bosses in the grand underground grave all moved here!

“Bolton! Come with me!”

Xiao Feng immediately turned about and struck at the Guardian of the Third Floor of Underground Palace without hesitation. He could abandon the Coalition but he must kill the Guardian! It was concerning whether his artifact of Dragon Suit could be completely collected, which was a top priority for Xiao Feng.

“Weapon Blessing! Courage Blessing! Life Blessing! Protective Blessing!”

With the four buff effects, it didn’t help a lot to the messy battle, because there were too many advanced bosses, any of which could sec-kill Xiao Feng easily regardless buff.

However, it was better than none. At least, it could help resist the attack of some small bosses and increase the survival rate.

With the bodyguard of Captain Bolton, Xiao Feng went through the messy battle and headed directly towards the Guardian of the Third Floor of Underground Palace. Then he stopped at a proper distance and struck a Holy Light Skill to cover an area of battlefield in light of Xiaoxue’s height. Both the Dark Legion and the Coalition were covered!

“-1072!”

“-688!”

“-36000!”

“+1220!”

“-21000!”

“+6800!”

“-832!”

“-4027!”



A smoke formed by the damage indicators instantly emerged above the battlefield, including the red ones and green ones. All the units of the Dark Legion lost a certain number of health points while all the units of the Coalition were fully regened!

However, this was not over. Then Xiao Feng waved his damaged Sage Staff and struck the skill of Shadow Word!
