Chapter 72 - On The Verge

"I wonder who is responsible for this mess, attracting such a powerful monster."

As the Two-Headed Crow King approached with great force, the players were all amazed, while Tianhuo Lenghun muttered to himself.

"Not just powerful, but overwhelmingly so. This is a super boss."

My brow furrowed as I witnessed the strength of this Two-Headed Crow King firsthand. I was the one who caused this mess, but of course, I could only keep my thoughts to myself and not speak out.

I hope the system soldiers of Tianlong City can repel the Two-Headed Crow King. Looking at the busy soldiers on the city walls, they are my only hope.

I looked around and saw players everywhere in Tianlong City. No one was willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They all wanted to see what kind of character the Dark Mage Two-Headed Crow King was, who even caused the system to issue a notice and put Tianlong City in second-level defense status.

At this moment, Tianlong City was bustling with people. The players all looked up at the approaching Two-Headed Crow King, giving off an ancient battlefield feeling of a formidable enemy attacking and warriors fighting back.

On the forefront of the city walls of Tianlong City, some major forces had taken over.

Above the central gate, a white flag fluttered on the city wall, embroidered with a five-clawed giant dragon treading on a cloud, representing the most powerful force currently, the FengYun Mercenary Group (not yet established as a gang, just a mercenary group). A proud warrior held a long sword and looked up at the sky with an air of self-importance.

"What the hell? What's there to show off about? You didn't even make it into the top three, and yet you're still acting high and mighty."

I heard the player's grumbling voice, and it turned out to be FengYun JinLong, the fourth-ranked player on the Top Ten Masters list, who seemed to have gained some fame.

The left flank of the FengYun mercenary group presents an orderly formation with uniform movements and even similar equipment to the ZiLei mercenary group, led by a handsome yet icy magician who exudes an extraordinary demeanor. His name is unabashedly displayed as Hao Tian, clearly a confident and arrogant strongman.

To the left of them stands the familiar SanYe mercenary group, led by old acquaintances SanYe KuangFu and SanYe YangGuang, both smiling and engaged in conversation.

On the right side of the FengYun mercenary group is a black flag embroidered with a proud dragon with two wings. While the flag resembles that of the FengYun mercenary group to some extent, the difference in color and the type of dragon on the flag make them strikingly contrasted, exuding an incompatible sensation.

These two factions are not very friendly, and some players inside are glowering at each other, eager for a fight.

The most eye-catching aspect of this faction is their leader on the left side, a sharp-eyed archer holding a uniquely shaped longbow that emits a dazzling black light. It is undoubtedly a magical weapon that has caught the envy of many players.

"They're the HeiLong mercenary group that sprung up a few days ago. Both of their leaders are on the rankings. The warrior is HeiLong WuTian, ranked on the wealth board, and the archer wielding the magical bow is She Ri, one of the top ten masters. Due to the similarity in name between HeiLong and FengYun JinLong, the leader of the FengYun mercenary group, the two factions have had some conflicts," TianHuo LengHun explained to me as I looked on in confusion at the HeiLong mercenary group.

"I see," I nodded, indifferent to their issues.

To the right of the HeiLong mercenary group is where I stand, the TianHuo mercenary group.

On the right side of the TianHuo mercenary group is another sizable force, the ShiShen mercenary group that I encountered on the third floor of the Blackstone Tower last time. At the forefront is a warrior with a calm expression, imposing and impressive in his demeanor.

As this warrior was within the range of my "Insight" spell, I used it covertly to observe him.

ShiShen#WuChen: Level 22, Profession: Warrior, and the captain of ShiShen mercenary group.

Looking at these exceptional factions and their leaders, who are both arrogant and confident, and possess formidable power, especially their awe-inspiring momentum, truly evokes envy.

No wonder so many aspire to dominate and reign supreme. The feeling is indeed an irresistible temptation. Imagine standing tall and proud, with the world at your fingertips, garnering admiration. This is the true manifestation of a man's ability and the greatest pursuit of a strong individual.

Looking at these factions, I recall our Eagle King, who was once a hegemon in his own right. If he had fully developed in "King of Glory," our five brothers of the Eagle King would surely have a place on this city wall. Sadly, the title of the Eagle King has disappeared, and I can only wander alone and unable to face my brothers.

Of course, I am not pursuing this kind of grandeur, standing on the city wall's majestic posture, nor do I want to conquer the world and become the strongest. I miss my brothers, the days when we fought together, and the camaraderie we shared as the Eagle King.

Looking at the city wall, apart from these major factions, some small factions are also trying their best to occupy a piece of land to showcase their strength, competing with each other. If it weren't for the prohibition of PK in Tianlong City, these factions might have started fighting before the arrival of the Two-Headed Crow King.

In addition to these, there is also a significant highlight on the city wall, where the most players gather and crowd, which is the female team of SanYe faction on the left, established by QiangWei-ZiHong, who ranked tenth on the top ten list of the masters. QiangWei mercenary group is a faction purely composed of female players, and they are all beautiful women.

The beauties of QiangWei mercenary group are stunningly beautiful, with exquisite figures and charming smiles. Combined with the heroic and valiant style of soldier-class professions and the mysterious and enchanting style of mage-class professions, they attract a group of wolf friends behind them, who howl continuously, seemingly smelling the intoxicating scent of women.

Truly, it is a paradise on earth, and joining their faction is every man's pursuit.

"Look, the Two-Headed Crow King has appeared!"

A loud shout arose, and all the players stared at the dark clouds in the sky, which were only over two miles away from Tianlong City, gradually becoming clearer.

The leader is none other than the dark mage Two-Headed Crow King, dressed in a black feather coat and holding a black feather fan. Despite his small stature, he has two crow heads protruding from his body.

Following behind the Two-Headed Crow King is a large group of dark wizards, holding shiny wizard staffs and wearing black wizard robes. They continuously activate their staffs to emit black light, forming a dark cloud that carries them towards Tianlong City.

My goodness!

Not only can the Two-Headed Crow King fly, but the ordinary dark wizards can also fly with such exquisite flying skills. Could it be that these dark wizards are monsters above level 90?

"First Infantry Cavalry and First Infantry Archers, prepare to leave the city to meet the enemy."

With a command, the gate of Tianlong City opens wide, and the System Infantry Knights stand in formation, carrying heavy shields that are taller than themselves, with a System Infantry Archer behind each knight. Over 4,000 people move forward in unison towards the open space in front of Tianlong City.

"Brother, we can learn a battle tactic for free in 'King of Glory' during this inter-system battle."

"Hmm, pay attention to the techniques."

TianHuo LengHun and TianHuo DaoYin become excited, closely observing the System Infantry Cavalry and Archers as they leave the city, eager to witness their battle tactics.

The great battle is about to begin, with the tension reaching its peak.
