After a long time, Kelop City’s City Lord said, “Pass on my orders. Activate all the Giant Skeletal Cannons and blow up those Light Alliance b*stards.”
As soon as the City Lord said those words, the Darkness Camp’s senior executives hurriedly began to persuade him.
“Divine Envoy, please calm down. It’s not the time to use the Giant Skeletal Cannons yet.”
“Divine Envoy, if we expose the Giant Skeletal Cannons too soon, we will definitely be terribly struck by those guys from the Light Alliance.”
…
Faced with the persuasion of the Darkness Camp’s senior executives, the City Lord of Kelop City did not seem to have any intentions of changing his mind. He simply indifferently said, “Don’t bother persuading me. I’ve already made up my mind. As long as I can kill that powerhouse from the Light Alliance, all losses will be worth it.”
Since the City Lord of Kelop City had already said that, the Darkness Camp’s senior executives had no choice but to give up on persuading him.
At this very moment, World’s Best—who had been remaining silent like the other players—stepped forward with a solemn expression. He said to Kelop City’s City Lord, “Lord, I have a plan that can reduce the Giant Skeletal Cannons’ losses. I wonder if you’re willing to hear me out, Lord.”
After hearing World’s Best’s words, the City Lord of Kelop City immediately said calmly, “Go ahead and tell me what your plan is.”
The Giant Skeletal Cannons were the trump cards that the Darkness Camp used to deal with the Brilliance Camp’s battle machinery. Had Liu Ming not charged to the middle of the battlefield and killed the Necromantic Cavalry frenziedly, Kelop City’s City Lord would not have gone ahead with the idea stubbornly.
Now that World’s Best mentioned that he had a solution to reduce the Giant Skeletal Cannons’ losses, the City Lord of Kelop City decided to hear him out.
However, if World’s Best put forward a useless idea, Kelop City’s City Lord would not mind punishing him, an Adventurer, for having the audacity to waste his time.
After hearing the City Lord’s answer, World’s Best immediately explained his idea. “As long as we can send someone to restrain that fellow, minimize his range of activity, and then use a small number of Giant Skeletal Cannons to strike him with precision, we will be able to reduce the losses of our Monster Troops.”
After hearing World’s Best’s words, the City Lord of Kelop City immediately smiled and said, “Your plan is great. Since you’re the one who proposed this idea, you shall be the one to carry it out.”
“I’ll give you the authority to command three large squads of Little Demons and two large squads of Death Guards. Apart from this, you may also deploy the ordinary monsters on the battlefield at will.”
Upon hearing the City Lord’s words, World’s Best immediately began beaming with joy. The original reason why World’s Best stood forth was that he wanted to try his luck and see if he could create trouble for Liu Ming.
In the end, to his surprise, the City Lord allowed him to carry out the plan on his own. In that case, he would be able to take revenge himself.
On the surface, World’s Best looked rather attentive as he thought, Floating Cloud, I shall see how you kill again this time.
…
Liu Ming—who was frenziedly killing on the battlefield—did not know that World’s Best had obtained the authority to command a portion of the Monster Troops and was getting ready to create trouble for him. However, even if Liu Ming knew about World’s Best devised scheme, he would not be too bothered by it.
Under the command of World’s Best, teams of Elite monsters soon began charging towards Liu Ming, trying to kill him.
In the beginning, Liu Ming did not suspect anything. After all, there had been too many monsters sieging him recently. However, Liu Ming soon discovered that the waves of monsters seemed to be charging towards his sword.
The strange situation immediately made Liu Ming keep his guard up. He summoned the Purgatory Nightmare and got ready to leave the battle. However, less than two minutes after Liu Ming left the battleground, a giant rock—covered in black fog—suddenly descended from the sky.
No, the stone was actually formed by numerous crippled skeletons that were chained together.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ming immediately activated the Purgatory Nightmare’s acceleration Skill and dashed out in a certain direction.
Just as Liu Ming dashed to a position that was more than 4,000 meters away from the battlefield, the giant skeleton ball had already landed on the ground.
With a loud boom, the black fog immediately engulfed the entire area within a 5,000-meter radius.
Although he could not see the situation in the other areas, Liu Ming could see his Holy Protection’s Energy Bar depleting by more than 3,000 points per second.
His nearly 40,000 Energy Points reached zero in just ten seconds.
Fortunately, the black fog dissipated after ten seconds. Otherwise, Liu Ming’s first death would happen here.
At this moment, Liu Ming finally got a clear glimpse of the situation in the surroundings.
The giant skeleton ball, or rather the Giant Skeletal Cannon’s strike, had killed all the other monsters, other than the ones that were near the black fog like Liu Ming.
Besides, even among the monsters at the periphery like Liu Ming, only a few higher-leveled elite ones had a somewhat healthy number of Health Points.
The remaining ones had barely just survived. Their information bars indicated various abnormal states like weak, crippled, aged, and many others. They did not have much combat power left.
Upon seeing such a situation, Liu Ming immediately cursed at all the Darkness Camp members and called them lunatics for bringing out such a lethal weapon just to kill him.
Had he not previously left out of caution, he would really end up dying here this time.
However, Liu Ming soon felt relieved. Although the weapon might be extremely powerful, it was not easy or convenient to operate. He had already fled in advance, but the area the other party struck was where he had been in the beginning,
As long as he was careful, he wouldn’t have much of a problem.
…
On the ground where the Giant Skeletal Cannon was set upon, World’s Best saw Liu Ming dodging the attack and immediately felt like breaking down. Damn it! He still isn’t dead!
However, World’s Best soon adjusted his mentality and continued to command the Monster Troops to adjust the Giant Skeletal Cannon to besiege Liu Ming.
After all, in World’s Best’s opinion, Liu Ming only managed to survive because of luck and the fact he had run towards the periphery ahead of time. If Liu Ming didn’t have an impressive life-saving Skill, he would have died terribly even if he had ten lives.
However, at this moment, a stream of golden light darted towards the sky and caused the Giant Skeletal Cannon, the monsters, and World’s Best to vanish entirely.
…
In just a few seconds, World’s Best appeared on the Revival Square. With anger written all over his face, he shouted, “I’m going to destroy you Light Alliance b*stards!”
This time, World’s Best’s state of mind had completely collapsed. He wished he could bring his men and go to the Brilliance Camp to kill all the high-level NPCs. After all, he felt that he was extremely close to killing Liu Ming this time.
Liu Ming was almost defeated and thrown down the throne.
In the end, the Brilliance Camp actually took action very quickly. Before his second cannon attack was ready, the Brilliance Camp had already destroyed the Giant Skeletal Cannon with the power of lightning.
