Chapter 221 Providing timely help
They dared not openly attack under the guild's banner, lest they become the target of everyone's ire. So they disguised themselves as casual observers, mingling on the edge of the battlefield.
Slowly, little by little, they approached the rear of the guild's defense line. Their goal was clear—the area in the center of the valley surrounded by white stones, where a virtual foundation stone, emitting a faint glow, floated—the "Guild Foundation Stone"!
"Damn it! These bastards! Trying to take advantage of our misfortune!" A sharp-eyed thief from the War Alliance spotted the suspicious figures and cursed angrily.
"Damn it! We're fighting tooth and nail here, and they're trying to stab us in the back!"
"President! Someone has sneaked in from behind!"
The players in the alliance were both shocked and furious, their eyes practically spitting fire.
But now they have the catastrophic threat of the mountain rhinoceros in front of them, and they simply can't spare any manpower to deal with these treacherous villains behind them!
The girls from Blood Romance were also anxious and angry, but they were also held back by the monsters in the sky and on the ground.
Upon hearing the report, Zhang Tianya felt as if a huge rock was blocking his heart, leaving him feeling both frustrated and angry.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, is the foundation that the War Alliance has worked so hard to build going to be destroyed by these villains?
"Ignore them! Hold off the boss ahead!" Zhang Tianya roared through gritted teeth. He had no choice but to make the most difficult decision: deal with the biggest threat first.
The situation of the entire alliance and Crimson Romance was made even worse by the appearance of these opportunists, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
The ordinary members were unaware that Lin Tian had been sitting in the back the whole time. After all, the big boss was very low-key, and the battlefield was chaotic, so no one noticed him.
......
At this moment, Lin Tian, sitting on the large rock behind, could see clearly the difficulties of fighting the monster in front and the actions of the little people behind him.
Far from being angry, he actually found it...quite interesting.
"Hey, you can't beat the BOSS, so you want to take advantage of the situation?" Lin Tian stroked his chin, a look of anticipation on his face. "Nice idea, but unfortunately, your eyesight isn't great."
He had already noticed those guys who were disguised as casual thugs and slowly infiltrating the area.
Based on his perception, those people had nowhere to hide.
He looked at those guys from the "Mad Wolf Gang," whose movements were the most sleazy; they were already almost bypassing the main battlefield and approaching the white stone circle.
Their faces were filled with barely suppressed excitement and greed, as if the glory of the first guild and this territory were already theirs for the taking.
"Hmm...when they excitedly ran to the cornerstone, ready to grab it, they looked up and found me sitting right here..." Lin Tian imagined the scene and almost burst out laughing. "Their expressions must have been priceless."
He decided to refrain from taking action for the time being.
Let these rats crawl a little further, let their hopes grow a little bigger.
He was curious to see how these guys would react when they realized they had gone through so much trouble and risked everything to sneak in, only to run into him, the "ultimate BOSS."
So Lin Tian remained seated comfortably in his "spectator seat," even adjusting his posture to make himself more comfortable.
He watched as the players of the War Alliance and Crimson Romance struggled against the giant rhinoceros's onslaught, and he also watched as those dozens of opportunists, like thieves, used the rocks and chaos as cover to get closer and closer to the center of the valley.
The situation in the valley became increasingly delicate and dangerous.
The battle on the front lines is in dire straits, and a knife is already at your back.
The only variable, the man who could instantly turn everything around, was waiting with a wicked sense of humor for the moment when the "surprise" would arrive.
The fate of the alliance seems to hang by a thread. And those few opportunists who think they've got it all figured out that they're walking step by step toward a huge "surprise".
......
That mountain rhinoceros is a damn lump of iron!
The members of the War Alliance and Blood Romance put in their best effort, but the fireballs and ice arrows they threw were like tickling. After a series of clanging sounds, the enemy's health bar barely moved.
On the contrary, this giant rhinoceros, with just a single charge or a stomp of its leg, which is thicker than a pillar, can send several shield warriors flying, their health bars plummeting, a sight that makes one's heart pound with fear.
Casualties began to appear.
Warriors or knights at the very front, unable to receive timely healing or suffering excessive damage, would wail and turn into white light, returning to the respawn point to report for resurrection.
Although they can run back from their corpses, it means there's a gap in the defense, putting them under even more pressure.
"Hold on! All of you, hold on for me! Dead brothers, come back quickly!"
Zhang Tianya's voice was completely hoarse from shouting, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He had also taken a hit from the giant rhinoceros's tail, and half of his body was numb. His health points had dropped significantly, and he was only able to stay alive thanks to the priest behind him desperately healing him.
Like a wounded lion, he remained stubbornly at the front line, using his shield to withstand attacks and his battle axe to hack and slash, setting an example for his brothers behind him.
If the chairman is risking his life, who among the subordinates will dare to hold back?
The men in the alliance were also in a frenzy, knowing they couldn't break through, they still frantically unleashed their skills on the giant rhinoceros, using their bodies to fill the gaps in the defensive line.
The girls of Crimson Romance gritted their teeth, and Li Weiwei's voice trembled slightly as she gave the commands, but the frequency of her staff swings did not slow down at all.
The entire Crimson Flame Valley seemed to have become a giant meat grinder, consuming the flesh and blood of the War Alliance and Crimson Romance every minute and every second.
An atmosphere of despair began to spread like a plague, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the defenses were breached.
At this most critical moment, a more chaotic series of footsteps and shouts suddenly came from behind the valley entrance!
"Hold on, brothers of the War Alliance! Ironwall Guild, Wanheng, has brought his brothers to help!"
Then, Wan Heng, the guild leader of the Iron Wall Guild, charged forward first.
This time, instead of wearing his most stylish armor, he donned a more practical set of plate armor, better suited for combat, and carried a massive, seemingly sturdy shield and a warhammer.
Behind him followed nearly a hundred elite players from the Iron Wall Guild. Although the number was not particularly large, each of them had a determined look in their eyes and carried an aura of do-or-die spirit!
Without any hesitation, they launched a desperate charge towards the flank of the mountain rhinoceros!
"Ironclad! Follow me! Draw this beast's attention! Give our guild brothers a breather!"
Wanheng roared and was the first to slam his shield hard onto the rhinoceros's rough rocky skin. Although the damage was not high, it successfully attracted the rhinoceros's aggro!
