The piercing alarm still echoed, the camp was ablaze with flames and billowing smoke. The stench of chaos and bloodshed washed over everyone like a tangible tide.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jin rushed out of the tent, his long sword already unsheathed, transforming into a cold light that tore through the thick smoke, heading straight for the nearest werewolf ambush point!
There, three ferocious werewolf warriors were grinning as they cornered a wounded leopard warrior, their sharp bone blades about to tear him apart!
"Awooo!" A werewolf sensed a gust of wind coming from behind, turned around abruptly, opened its huge mouth full of fangs, and tried to roar as a warning.
However, its roar was only half-finished!
The blade flashed like cold lightning, slashing diagonally upwards!
"Sizzle—!"
A ferocious wolf's head shot into the sky, spraying a fountain of green blood! The headless, massive body crashed to the ground.
The other two werewolf warriors paled in horror, their ferocity fully unleashed. They decisively abandoned their attack on the leopard man and instead roared as they turned to pounce on Xiao Jin!
Their movements were swift as the wind, and they coordinated perfectly. One from the left and one from the right, their bone blades whistling as they tore through the air, aiming for Xiao Jin's neck and waist!
Xiao Jin's footwork shifted subtly, her body moving like a willow catkin in the wind, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow aimed at her neck from the left!
At the same time, the longsword seemed to come alive; with a flick of the wrist, the blade precisely parried the bone blade coming from the right!
"clang!"
Sparks flew! A tremendous force traveled along the blade, and Xiao Jin used the force to spin around, the longsword tracing a poignant arc!
Pfft!
The blade sliced through the werewolf warrior's vulnerable throat with ease, like a hot knife through butter! Scalding blood sprayed all over the werewolf's face on the left!
The werewolf warrior on the left, its face smeared with its companion's scalding blood, paused involuntarily, a flicker of horror crossing its eyes. That moment of hesitation sealed its fate!
Before Xiao Jin's spinning momentum was over, he used his left foot as a pivot and his right foot, like a scorpion's tail, lashed out with a sharp whistling sound, and kicked hard on the side of its knee!
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out! The werewolf warrior howled in agony and fell to his knees!
Without pausing, Xiao Jin slid close to the ground like a leech, his long sword thrusting upwards with icy resolve, piercing the kneeling werewolf warrior's jaw and the tip of the blade going straight to the back of his head!
"Ugh..." The werewolf warrior's screams stopped abruptly, his body convulsed violently a few times, and then he became completely still.
In the blink of an eye, three elite werewolf warriors were killed!
Just as Xiao Jin killed the werewolf warriors who came to attack the camp, another player arrived in an instant.
They all received a new task:
[Ding—Side quest triggered: Eliminate the Suicide Squad!]
[Mission Objective: Annihilate the werewolf raiding squad that has infiltrated the camp (0/50).]
[Task Rewards: 5000 points, 2 wooden treasure chests.]
A chilling notification sounded in the minds of Xiao Jin and all the Z country players. The reward wasn't generous, which also indirectly confirmed that this team's threat level was relatively limited.
"Brothers! We're here! We have a mission! Kill werewolves! Earn points!" In the chaos, one of the players shouted from the side.
They must have been cooped up with anger all night with the leopard people, and then they saw these werewolf soldiers coming to ambush them.
That roar was like a spark thrown into dry tinder!
The players, who had been shocked by the bloodshed of the captain and were on edge by the war, seemed to have found an outlet and a target to vent their anger and frustration.
"Charge!"
"Kill! Kill these wolf cubs!"
"Roar roar roar!!!"
The players who had been crouching inside the fence burst out like a flood!
They grabbed their weapons and tools, their eyes bloodshot, and pounced on the werewolves who were setting fires and killing people all over the camp!
The entire camp erupted in cheers!
The leopard warriors, the players, and the werewolf raiders were locked in a frenzied battle, like boiling lava!
On the other side, Xiao Jin, like a ghost on the battlefield, moved through the chaotic firelight and thick smoke.
Her target was clear—the werewolf warriors who were significantly more skilled, had better teamwork, were fearless, and focused on destroying important facilities.
The great battle has not yet begun; we must not allow the attackers to further increase our losses.
With a little observation, one can see that some werewolf warriors ignored the attacks around them and, under the cover of their companions, began to wreak havoc in the camp.
Those fires were started by them.
laugh!
With a flash of light, a werewolf warrior who was throwing a torch at a haystack had his arm severed at the shoulder, and screamed in agony as Xiao Jin kicked him into the fire.
Clang! Pfft!
He parried the bone spears thrusting at him with his longsword, then advanced with a swift motion, the tip of the blade precisely piercing the heart of another werewolf warrior who was attempting to sabotage a catapult.
Amo's massive body did not directly participate in this small-scale killing, but instead, like a guardian deity, it hovered near Xiao Jin, its cold vertical pupils scanning the entire scene.
Occasionally, a foolish werewolf or a panicked leopard man would approach and be easily whipped away by its tail, breaking bones and tendons! It was more like it was clearing the battlefield for its master, ensuring that Xiao Jin would not be disturbed by small fry.
Although the players initially performed poorly upon arriving in the mission world, they were seasoned veterans who unleashed astonishing combat prowess against these small groups of attackers.
"Fireball! Explode!" A mage player cast a fireball the size of a washbasin, which smashed down two werewolves.
"Whirlwind Slash!" A warrior player swung his giant axe and charged towards the werewolf warrior like a spinning top, bringing with him a shower of blood.
"Is there any treatment?! Quickly, give me a heal!" Someone was accidentally slashed.
Taking medicine at the beginning would be too wasteful, so this person chose to seek help from players with support skills.
Moments later, the overall situation reversed rapidly!
After the initial panic, the leopard warriors quickly regained their composure thanks to their numbers and home-field advantage. Commands from officers at all levels rose and fell, organizing an effective counterattack.
Faced with a double attack from both the players and the leopardmen, this werewolf suicide squad, which had penetrated deep into enemy territory and was already prepared to die, was like a trapped beast stuck in the mud. No matter how fierce they were, they could not change their fate of defeat.
The battle was intense but brief.
In less than half an hour, the shouts, explosions, and screams in the camp gradually subsided.
Pfft!
The last werewolf attacker, covered in blood and attempting to break through, had his legs severed by three leopard-men working together, and was then pierced through the heart from behind by a player with a spear. He fell heavily to the ground with a roar of resentment.
[Ding—Side quest detected: "Eliminate the Suicide Squad," completed! Reward: 5000 points, 2 Wooden Treasure Chests. Note: Rewards will be distributed upon player return...]
The notification sounded, signaling the end of the raid.
However, the next second, a scarlet countdown, like a death knell, suddenly appeared in the sight of all players:
[Full-scale war is expected to begin at: 01:59:00…01:58:59…]
