"All archers, prepare."

Ling Feng shouted, and nearly 4,000 archers from the Heavenly Punishment Guild immediately drew their bows to a full moon, aiming their arrows at the enemy troops ahead.

"Release the arrows!"

At Ling Feng's command, arrows flew towards the enemy with a series of piercing, ear-piercing screams as they scraped through the air.

With a whoosh, arrows flew as if by teleportation, leaving no trace in the air, before piercing the chests of the enemy players.

The health bars of 4,000 enemy players were instantly emptied, followed by a flash of white light, and they vanished completely from the battlefield. A large area suddenly cleared on the north bank of Ping Sha Lake. The few remaining players were immediately exposed to the players of the Heavenly Punishment Guild. Under the pressure of death, they felt as if they had been stripped naked and placed on a high platform, extremely uneasy. The two most timid ones had already wet themselves.

Death itself isn't so scary; what's scary is the overwhelming strength of the archers from the Heavenly Punishment Guild.

They only needed one arrow to kill someone instantly, giving the priest no chance to heal. Just how terrifying is that fighting power?

Because of the distance, they couldn't see the strength of the Heavenly Punishment Guild's archers, and naturally assumed that the archers were all 1-star players. This assumption only made them more alarmed.

Keep in mind that their guilds are all top-tier guilds in their respective countries. Even so, it's already quite impressive for a guild to produce a single one-star player. The game "Lingxu" is inherently difficult, and soloing a Black Iron-level boss is even more challenging.

The leader of this operation, Blood Dragon from the United States, even though his special talent gives him a terrifying 180,000 HP, his attack power is too low, and he has not yet passed the first-star trial.

John Bull's Outlaw mage talent is awesome, right? His skills don't require casting time, so he can hold his own even against a one-star archer. However, against Iron-level monsters, he gains absolutely no advantage, which is why he's still just an average player.

The Demon King of Sausage Kingdom, after being corrupted by the blessing of 4,000 priests, can even control a one-star warrior, the Great Demon King. However, he cannot defeat the Black Iron Monster in the one-star trial arena in a one-on-one fight.

In this team of 200,000 players, only the two assassins, Poison Blade and Blood Shadow, were able to pass the one-star trial because their talent damage can be stacked. Who else could pass the one-star trial?

Too few, far too few!

But now, the Heavenly Punishment Guild actually has 4,000 one-star archers? Honestly, no one would believe it! Yet, they can now kill a player with a single arrow, whether it's a low-health mage or a warrior with the highest health; once hit, death is inevitable. How can you explain 4,000 archers displaying one-star strength?

Seeing 4,000 players instantly killed, the enemy troops at the front of the battlefield were all terrified. In an instant, everyone began to flee in all directions, hoping to escape this place as soon as possible.

"It's...it's actually true! Joining a legion can increase attack power!"

Watching his guild's archers each deal nearly 500,000 damage, the Great Demon King was stunned, both pleased and horrified. He was pleased that his side had gained an extra 500,000 physical damage, giving him confidence to defeat enemies ten times his number. He was horrified, glancing at his own 48,000 health bar; he feared he couldn't withstand a single blow from the Lord of Hell. After much deliberation, the Great Demon King finally found the Lord of Hell's weakness.

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just a summoner, typically fragile and low on health. Even if he kills me, I can reflect the damage back and kill him too!"

In reality, the Great Demon King was merely consoling himself. If he had seen the Lord of Hell's current health of 260,000, he wouldn't have thought that way at all.

"All players of the Heavenly Punishment Guild, listen to my command! Form a pursuit formation and charge towards the enemy!"

The Great Demon King raised his broadsword high, let out a roar, and took the lead in the pursuit. Since entering the battlefield, the Heavenly Punishment Guild had developed three formations, mimicking ancient battlefield tactics. One was a defensive formation, like the one currently in place, with warriors and assassins leading the charge, followed by mages and archers, and priests at the rear. Summoners, based on their summoned creatures, found their own positions on the battlefield. As for the pursuit formation, the entire guild was completely scattered, with five members forming a small team according to their class, and three teams forming a pursuit group. The three small teams intertwined and cooperated with each other, striving to eliminate small groups of enemies as quickly as possible, while also easily completing pursuit missions such as charging and encircling.

In the blink of an eye, pursuit teams were formed and immediately rushed towards the battlefield. Relying on the nearly 470,000 additional physical damage per person, any sporadic resistance they encountered was quickly wiped out.

The most terrifying thing on the battlefield is when soldiers at the front flee. Just a few, and they can spread like a plague, quickly infecting the entire unit.

As the Heavenly Punishment pursuit teams stormed into the battlefield, enemy players began to be rapidly eliminated. However, they weren't all wiped out; rather, the Heavenly Punishment pursuit teams deliberately left one or two alive to escape. These pursuit teams then steadily followed behind these fleeing players, quickly focusing their fire on any new players they encountered, leaving one or two alive to escape again.

As long as the opposing players see someone trying to escape, they will instinctively turn around and run away as well, which actually makes it easier for the chasing team.

In this way, although the speed of action is somewhat slow, it is safer.

As they continued their pursuit, each small group acted like a sharp blade, piercing the massive enemy force of 200,000 with shallow but painful wounds.

More and more players from the Heavenly Punishment faction joined the pursuit, and a huge, sharp dagger slowly took shape. Then, it slashed viciously across the giant's body. Wherever the Heavenly Punishment's blade struck, it was like a hot knife through butter. Standing at the forefront were the Perfect Example and Skull and Bones guilds from the United States, and they were the first piece of butter to be sliced ​​by the hot knife. After being slashed twice by the Heavenly Punishment, the more than 30,000 players were scattered and panicked, like stray dogs or fish that had escaped a net.

While Tianfa Gonghu's performance was commendable, Jiang Hao wasn't entirely satisfied. Dealing with just two guilds from the US was already so troublesome. Infiltration, encirclement, and releasing captive creatures—it was all incredibly tedious. If he had the Little Skeletons, it wouldn't be so complicated. Summoning 100,000 diamond-level skeleton lords would be enough to plow the fields.

200,000 players? Wiping out 2 million players is just a matter of a snap of the fingers.

Jiang Hao was indulging in his fantasies when a quick glance revealed that the Heavenly Punishment Guild was in trouble. After defeating two guilds from the United States, they were now facing the Beast Legion from South Korea, who were right behind those two guilds.

The Heavenly Punishment Guild's pursuit tactics were clearly no longer sufficient to deal with these fearless monsters. So the Great Demon King brandished his greatsword and shouted, "Form an advancing formation!"
