Chapter 1610 1610: The Sorcerer's Deception Bewitches the Masses
"Get down!!"
At that moment, Wang Yu, holding the other end of the long pole, shouted loudly and forcefully swung it to the side.
The sorcerer was involuntarily sent tumbling down.
Not just the sorcerer, but everyone else on the staircase also suffered the consequences.
After all, Wang Yu was currently on the sixth floor, while the front-line players from Peerless Heaven were on the seventh floor. Wang Yu was surrounded by ranged classes like priests, mages, sorcerers, and archers—none of whom could take a hit.
What kind of strength did Wang Yu possess? It was far beyond what this group of frail characters could withstand. With a single long pole, Wang Yu effectively turned it into an area-of-effect weapon, sending players from Peerless Heaven down the stairs like dumplings.
The height of the sixth floor was even higher than the city walls, and even sturdy paladins could be severely injured from a fall. As for these rear-line classes, most of them met their demise upon landing. Even those who were lucky enough to survive didn't fare well... because old man Wang was waiting at the bottom.
Feeling a strong desire to survive, these players from Peerless Heaven immediately attacked Old Wang upon landing. With swift strikes, Old Wang dispatched them one after another, and the bright light of their respawns was a sight to behold from above.
With Wang Yu present, the sorcerers from Peerless Heaven were unable to exert any influence, and without the sorcerers' powerful crowd control, who could stop the rampaging Wang Yu?
Originally, the players from Peerless Heaven felt somewhat intimidated by Evil Rampage, but upon seeing the sorcerers lose their deterrent effect, their hearts sank even further.
"Everyone, charge together!"
A group of players looked at each other uncertainly. With threats from all sides, including a giant crocodile lurking below, they understood despair all too well. Whether they fought or not, they were doomed, so they collectively raised their shields and charged at Evil Rampage.
"Come on!"
As Evil Rampage were being pressured and attacked, they felt a surge of anger. With no more reservations, they firmly planted their feet and, with a loud shout, pushed their hands forward, striking the shields of the incoming attackers.
Evil Rampage were not lacking in resources, equipment, skills, or strength.
With that push, they easily knocked the two shield bearers off balance, sending them crashing backward.
Evil Rampage already possessed considerable strength; combined with the weight of the two Guardians, the resulting impact was unimaginable.
"Boom!"
The two Guardians collided with the players behind them, causing several more to lose their balance. As more and more players piled in, the force only grew stronger...
"Rumble, rumble, rumble~"
A series of noises echoed as a group of front-line players tumbled down the stairs like a rolling snowball, crashing through the handrails and falling to the ground below.
Old Wang, wielding his knife, followed closely behind, leaving no one alive...
With Wang Yu wielding his pole, he controlled the entire situation, leaving the rear-line classes unable to retaliate.
Evil Rampage was responsible for charging through, causing his opponents to be thrown into chaos.
Old Wang squatted at the bottom of the stairs with his knife, taking down one after another, and two at a time when necessary.
The trio worked together in an utterly seamless manner.
...
The players led by Heaven Dominion, who were trying to corner Evil Rampage, were all subordinates of his. The core experts in Peerless Heaven were unable to command effectively, so although there were many in Sin City, only a few could stand their ground.
For instance, the group inside the tower, while considered elites among Peerless Heaven, were not particularly exceptional. With so many of them unable to deal with even one Evil Rampage, how could they handle the situation with two stronger helpers joining in?
In an instant, the players from Peerless Heaven inside the tower were being beaten to a pulp, with bright flashes of light and cries echoing throughout...
Even players outside the gate could hear the sounds from within.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, not daring to take even half a step forward...
At that moment, the revived Heaven Dominion returned and saw his subordinates standing far back from the door, watching the spectacle. He immediately felt furious, shouting, "What are you all doing? Get in there and hold your ground! If they come out, leave no one alive!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Heaven Dominion, everyone exchanged disdainful glances, unwilling to budge...
Damn it, you've already been taken down, and you still say not to leave anyone alive? What a nerve.
The players from Peerless Heaven were all miners by trade; none of them were fools. They each calculated their own odds.
Anyone could see the current situation—the three inside were all incredibly powerful, with even the weakest among them being a formidable opponent. Now, with Wang Yu, the so-called number one expert, and a mysterious beastman uncle joining them, it was a dire scenario.
What was worse, these three had a whole group of unscrupulous helpers who had already caused significant damage to their guild brothers.
Who would dare to challenge them now? Charging in would just lead to death…
In-game lives may not be worth much, but knowingly stepping into a death trap would be foolish, right? Everyone was intelligent enough to know that dying was acceptable, but being foolish was not!
"Damn it..."
Seeing that none of his subordinates dared to charge in, Heaven Dominion felt quite embarrassed.
He had considered such a scenario... After all, for most players in Peerless Heaven, their personalities leaned toward being content with a modest life. Evil Rampage' monthly wages of several thousand were enough to support them; who would want to rebel?
Given the current situation, their retreat was the most normal reaction.
Of course, Heaven Dominion was adept at rallying others to rebel, so when he noticed everyone was hesitant to advance, he thought for a moment and shouted, "Do you think that if you don't charge in now, you'll be fine? We've already engaged; there's no turning back. If we don't kill Evil Rampage and retrieve your contracts, no one will escape."
"This..."
Hearing Heaven Dominion, everyone felt a jolt of realization.
They had joined Peerless Heaven for stable work, and cornering Evil Rampage was also to pursue further advancement... But now, once on the pirate ship, no one could get off, and everyone bore the label of a traitor.
Evil Rampage was known for his decisiveness in battle and would not spare anyone just because they chose not to attack them now; the only option left was to fight with all they had.
Seeing that his subordinates seemed somewhat moved, Heaven Dominion continued, "Now that the three in the tower have already been marked as criminals, if we can kill them, their gear will belong to all of you; I won't take a single piece... Moreover, if this matter is settled, those who can kill them will become my right-hand men!"
