Chapter 382 [Iron Torrent], [Banner of Glory]
Every second, patches of white light would flash, but they would immediately be filled by people surging up from behind.
The core of the battle was a relatively flat, high-rising boulder platform in the center of the basin.
On the platform, a treasure chest, about half a person's height, carved entirely from some kind of seven-colored crystal and radiating light, stands quietly.
The runes on the surface of the box flowed, and the energy fluctuations it emitted could be clearly perceived from a great distance.
Clearly, this is a top-tier resource that the system deployed within the final safe zone, enough to drive any guild mad!
For it, these two obviously large guilds—[Iron Torrent] and [Glory Banner]—have gone to great lengths.
Zhao Tieshan, the leader of the "Iron Torrent" guild, is a shield warrior who is nearly two meters tall and as tall as an iron tower. He always takes the lead and stands at the forefront.
He held a giant shield the size of a door in his left hand and wielded a terrifying chain hammer in his right, each strike clearing a small area.
His voice boomed like thunder as he roared into the guild channel: "Hold on! Hold on for me! Ranged DPS, focus fire on their healers! This chest must be ours [Iron Torrent] today! Take it, and everyone gets a bonus when we get back!"
On the other side, Zhou Wenyuan, the guild leader of [Glory Banner], is an elemental mage dressed in a magnificent robe.
He stood in the relatively safe rear, and with a wave of his staff, large swathes of flame storms and chain lightning burst forth in the enemy ranks, causing massive casualties and greatly disrupting their formation.
His tone was icy as he issued precise orders through the command channel: "Second Regiment, advance on the left flank; Third Regiment, flank on the right flank and interrupt their backline spellcasting! First Regiment, follow me, concentrate fire, take down Zhao Tieshan first! The treasure chest must belong to the [Glory Banner]!"
Both sides committed all their forces to a fierce and protracted battle in this basin.
The edge of the basin was already littered with white light transformed from "corpses" and equipment and potions that hadn't been picked up in time.
Lin Tianfei hovered above the edge of the battlefield, his figure pausing slightly in mid-air. His indifferent gaze swept over the vast and chaotic death trap below, like a god overlooking a swarm of ants in a war.
It was noisy, chaotic, and full of inefficient consumption. He had no interest in the treasure chest; he had opened and destroyed countless such things.
However, his detached and indifferent stance, hovering in the air, was like a drop of cold water thrown into boiling oil amidst the bloodthirsty crowd below.
"In the sky! There are people in the sky!"
"It's that Lin Tian!"
"Why is he here?!"
"Damn it, why are you causing trouble now?!"
Soon, a player recognized him.
Not many people may know what Lin Tian looks like, but at this time, no one else in the entire competition area dares to fly over the battlefield alone and watch the show.
The terrifying rumors about him flashed through the minds of many players instantly.
Zhao Tieshan, who was fighting a bloody battle on the front line, also heard his subordinates' exclamations. He smashed two enemies who rushed up with his hammer and suddenly looked up.
When his gaze locked onto the expressionless figure in the air, his heart sank, and an uncontrollable chill ran up his spine.
He had heard those rumors about Lin Tian.
At first, I didn't believe it, thinking it was just a rumor.
But seeing the other party's cold and indifferent attitude that seemed to transcend the battlefield, and recalling the detailed and believable stories, Zhao Tieshan, as the leader of the association, instinctively raised an alarm—this person was extremely dangerous!
Never mess with them!
Especially when our side is engaged in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy!
Without almost any hesitation, Zhao Tieshan mustered all his strength and, amidst the deafening noise of the battlefield, let out a nearly distorted roar into the guild command channel:
"【Iron Torrent】Everyone! Listen up! Cease the attack! Disengage! Retreat! Retreat immediately to the gravel area in the northeast corner of the basin! Quickly! Execute the order! Lin Tian is here—!!!"
His final cry of "Lin Tian is here!" was filled with undisguised terror and was clearly transmitted to the ears of every member of the "Iron Torrent" through the command channel.
Many of the front-line soldiers who were fighting were stunned, and their offensive involuntarily slowed down.
What's wrong with the president?
The battle is fierce and evenly matched, and it looks like we're about to break through the enemy's defenses. Should we retreat now?
On the opposite side, Zhou Wenyuan, the guild leader of [Glory Flag], also noticed Lin Tian at almost the same time.
His brow furrowed, his mind racing. He had naturally heard of Lin Tian's name, but he felt more skepticism and scrutiny towards him.
How strong can a person be, no matter how strong?
With our forces numbering over a thousand and in perfect formation, while the enemy's "Iron Torrent" shows signs of wavering and retreating, this is the perfect opportunity to expand our gains and secure victory!
As for Lin Tian in the sky... it would be best if he knew when to leave, but if he dares to interfere...
Seeing that Zhao Tieshan was so frightened that he immediately ordered a retreat, Zhou Wenyuan felt even more contemptuous and decisively seized the opportunity.
He immediately issued a cold order in his command channel: "Brothers of [Glory Banner], don't panic! Zhao Tieshan has chickened out, we've won! Now, listen to my command—all ranged classes, turn towards Lin Tian in the sky and unleash a barrage of fire to show him whose territory this is! Melee classes, pursue the fleeing [Iron Torrent] with all your might, expand your gains, the treasure chest is ours!"
His command carried an unquestionable authority and a sense of "strength in numbers," which quickly calmed the players of [Glory Banner] and even inspired a sense of pride.
Yes, there are thousands of us, why would we be afraid of just one guy?
Many mages and archers immediately changed targets, and after a brief chant or aiming, unleashed fireballs, ice spears, arcane bullets, armor-piercing arrows...
Hundreds of ranged attacks, like a meteor shower flying backwards, came crashing down on Lin Tian in mid-air with a piercing whistling sound!
Its momentum is astonishing, enough to instantly annihilate any top-tier tank player in the conventional sense.
"idiot."
Lin Tian clearly heard the roars of the two guild leaders below, and also saw the panicked retreat of [Iron Torrent] and the overwhelming attack of [Glory Banner].
His lips moved almost imperceptibly, uttering two cold words. Faced with an attack storm powerful enough to make any expert tremble, he didn't even lift an eyelid.
Just as the hundreds of attacks were about to engulf him, Lin Tian casually raised his right hand, palm down, towards the densest area of the [Glory Banner] ranged faction, and gently clenched his five fingers.
【Universal Celestial Guidance】- Medium power, injects approximately 3% of maximum mana.
There was no loud noise, no bright light.
But with a certain point below his palm as the center, the space within a radius of nearly a hundred meters suddenly underwent a strange distortion!
