Chapter 140 Great Difficulty

"Yes! You're right! Bro Xiao was kind. He didn't even want to kill the little monsters at the time. However, he was determined to avenge himself after all of us were killed in the group attack by the Midsummer Guild." The teenage player also bragged without hesitation.

In fact, he hadn't even participated in the team fight, even though he had worked with Xiaofeng to complete the trail mission at the time. Still, he had vowed to eat shit if Xiaofeng finished the mission by himself. Thus, he had slipped away before the team fight had even started.

Qian Duoduo smiled silently while War Spirit Ziyi stared at her cousin doubtfully.

"Hey, do you know how Master Healer became an enemy of the Midsummer Guild?" Han Feng lowered his voice before he spoke. The other players immediately looked at him with interest.

"How did they become enemies?"

Nicholas Zhaosi asked. In fact, they didn't know why either. They believed that they were close to Xiaofeng in the Novice Village, but they didn't know why the Midsummer Guild was determined to kill him.

"This is a top secret. I worked hard to get this information." Han Feng looked around carefully as though he was vigilant. Then, he took out a few packets of melon seeds from his backpack and shared them with the Nicholas Brothers. He had bought the snacks from the systematic store.

"Did you know that Midsummer Rose, the president of the Midsummer Guild and the most beautiful female player in the Huaxia District, came from the same Novice Village as Master Healer? Something happened between them in the Novice Village!"

"Sh*t!"

The Nicholas Brothers took the seeds as their eyes widened in astonishment.

Qian Duoduo and War Spirit Ziyi immediately stared at Han Feng with steady eyes, making him suddenly shudder in fear.

"Buddy, please come here and talk to us!"

"Please tell us what happened between Bro Xiao and the most beautiful player in the Huaxia District!"

...

Xiaofeng sent a message to Qian Duoduo in the Dark Land, but she didn't reply. Xiaofeng hung up in confusion and then walked deeper into the Mist of War with the Paladin Order.

Xiaofeng estimated that they had already covered nearly half the distance. However, it was almost noon so he might not finish the mission before the siege war started. It would last 6 hours, and he could go to the encampment later to watch it.

Xiaofeng went offline and prepared lunch for Xiao Ling during the mana regeneration. Xiaofeng spent less than 10 minutes and made a simple lunch before going online. Luckily, he had spent a lot of time with Xiao Ling the previous night, so she was not dissatisfied with him that day.

It was past 12 o'clock when he went online once again. The siege war might have already broken out. The Paladin Order had also walked deeper into the forest. Xiaofeng hurried up and tried to catch up with them.

In the plain, the Nicholas Brothers were shocked by the fake information provided by Han Feng. The monster siege war officially began.

"Regional announcement! The defensive war of the Midsummer Guild will officially begin in 30 seconds! Outsiders who have not left the nearby area need to leave as soon as possible!"

The regional announcement was repeated several times, but no one left. After all, all the players present had an ulterior motive or wanted to watch the war.

"Hey! The defensive war of the Midsummer Guild's encampment is officially starting! The first wave of monsters will officially launch its attacks in 10 minutes! Please get ready! You'll win if you can resist the attack of the monsters, but you'll lose the war if any monsters break into the hall of your encampment!"

Numerous monsters suddenly appeared in the vast plain around the village and rushed at the village from four directions. There had to be millions of them!

"Sh*t! There must be more monsters than players!"

"Of course! The monster siege war is horrible! Only major guilds can resist their attacks in the earlier stage! Most of the minor guilds will choose to set up their encampment after they have enough equipment."

"I thought that the monsters would come from different regions, but it turns out that they suddenly appeared in the nearby area."

"You're wrong! The nearby creeps also came here. I believe that the monsters in the nearby area will also join the war."

"Luckily, all the monsters of the first wave are common level-10 monsters. I believe that the Midsummer Guild can kill all of them."

"But there are 36 waves of monsters! If there are so many advanced monsters, such as hundreds of monsters at level 30, even the Dynasty will lose the defensive war!"

"I don't think you are aware of the real strength of the Dynasty. They can even move troops of millions of players. I believe that the siege war can't pose a threat to them."

...

There were numerous monsters of a lower level. The local monsters and scarecrows at level 10 were standing on the left, the 10th-level Goblins were on the right, and the 10th-level Slimes were in the front. Most interestingly, there were millions of Cooing Chickens standing behind them. Their voices reverberated around the plain.

However, no one was amused. Everyone was shocked by the number of the monsters.

The players of the Midsummer Guild had already arranged four large formations in the same direction and gotten ready for the fight. One could have cut the atmosphere in the plain with a knife.

"Let's kill them and gain the initiative! We could get countless experience points!"

Someone shouted and diffused the tension. The captains of the four formations also received the message. It was a good idea, so the president didn't stop them, which meant that she agreed to the plan.

"Let's kill them! All the monsters of the first wave are at level 10! Let's kill them and come back as soon as possible!"

"Yes! The Midsummer Guild can kill these monsters easily!"

The four-player formations took action at the same time and rushed over at the monsters in four directions.

"Kill them and get the experience points!"

"The more, the better!"

"Priests! Please stop adding a BUFF to other players! Kill the monsters with your staff! These monsters are easy to kill!"

...

Although they were locked in a messy fight, the players were not in danger by any means. The 10th-level monsters couldn't pose a threat to them, so Midsummer Rose had agreed to their plans.

"Hey! The first wave of monsters has been killed by the Midsummer Guild in advance, and the second wave will officially launch an attack in 10 minutes! Please get ready! You'll win if you can resist the attack of the monsters, but you'll lose the war if any monsters break into the hall of your encampment!"

This chaos was unacceptable in this official battle. However, at the moment, it diffused the tension and boosted the players' morale. They had killed the first wave of monsters, so the victory had also increased their confidence.

"Well, go back to the defensive position and don't take the initiative."

When they heard the pleasant voice of Midsummer Rose in the guild channel, everyone followed her orders and returned to the defensive position excitedly. They formed four formations and got prepared for the second wave of monsters.

"That player is excellent. He successfully eased the minds of the other players by encouraging them to take the initiative."

Handsome Brother Nine of Glory, who was standing beside Midsummer Rose, looked in one direction as he spoke.

He suddenly noticed that the player looked familiar. He seemed to be the previous president of the Midsummer Guild in the former online games.

Midsummer Rose didn't say anything. She was standing quietly like a lotus flower, waiting for the attack of the second wave of monsters.

Meanwhile, Xiaofeng also got into trouble in the Dark Land.

They had walked through the region covered by the Mist of War and entered the depth of the mist. Xiaofeng's HP had been reduced quickly when he had entered this place last time and the Paladin Order also got into trouble this time.

"Gee! The Mist of War here is thick. Our Expulsion Skill is not strong enough to get rid of the mist!"

The bishops were sweating profusely. Several minutes ago, one bishop had been able to get rid of the mist by himself, but two bishops were needed now to dispel the mist.

Besides, the Mist of War behind them had started to gather together once again as they walked deeper into this place.

"Hurry up and maintain formation! Stay close to each other!"

Captain Bolton, who was also shocked, immediately changed the tandem array of the Paladin Order and asked them to gather around the two bishops.

Six people, including Xiaofeng, formed three groups of two. They took turns to clear the way, but a problem immediately presented itself. There wasn't enough time to recover Magic Points. They could only resist the damage for a short time, as they had a shorter recovery time. At last, the MP of all six of them were depleted.

"Oh no! We have run out of MP! We're encircled by the Mist of War!"

The Expulsion Skill, which looked like the sun, gradually disappeared and the Mist of War appeared once again and slowly encircled them. They still had a long way to go before leaving the region covered by the mist!

"We're done! The Mist of War is starting to eat us up!"

In an instant, everyone was engulfed by the Mist of War and huge figures of damage appeared on their heads. Given their rich Health Points, they would be killed within several minutes, as their HP was reduced by one percent per second!

"Why are you standing here? Hurry up and run away! Run in rows and make sure I can see you! The exit is not far away!" Xiaofeng shouted before drinking the Water of Purification and running to the end of the troop.

"Run!"

Thousands of paladins suddenly realized what had happened. They immediately rushed toward the exit of this region along with the five bishops under Captain Bolton's leadership!

"No! We can't resist the damage of the mist! We can't leave this place!"

The female squadron leader spoke frantically. Even the paladins who were calm and strong would lose their composure, as their HP was declining dramatically.

"Boom!"

An enormous holy light suddenly appeared and descended toward their heads after the female leader finished talking. It shone out with such a great brilliancy that it seemed like even the darkness was removed.

In an instant, the HP of everyone present, including thousands of paladins and five bishops, became full once again and huge green figures appeared on their heads.

"This is... the Divine Power!"

Captain Bolton and the others were shocked. They turned around and stared blankly at him.

"He's the Archbishop!"

"This is a miracle! No wonder the Goddess of Light enshrined him as the Archbishop!"

The five bishops, who were also shocked, didn't know what to say.

"Keep running! Don't stop!" Xiaofeng drank the Water of Life and shouted at them once again.

"Hurry up! Mr. Archbishop can't resist the damages for a long time!"

Someone noticed this problem. Xiaofeng was still as weak as an ant in their eyes.

The Paladin Order sped up once again. Xiaofeng could use the holy light skill every 27 seconds. During this period of time, the Paladin Order would lose 27% of HP. Xiaofeng could increase their HP by 15% by using the holy light skills. Besides, his Divine Power could increase the effect by 50% and the therapeutic scepter could increase the effect by 10%. Therefore, he could increase their HP by 24%.

(15%×60%+15%)

In other words, their HP was still declining, but it would only be reduced by 6% per minute, which would improve their survival time greatly!

Unfortunately, Xiaofeng was at risk now. He couldn't heal himself while increasing the others' HP. Thus, he could only take drugs to stay alive!

Luckily, his attributes had improved after he had acquired the artifact. Moreover, his immortal equipment could also change the MP into HP, so he could resist the damages for a longer time.

Besides, the cooldown time of the Sacred Body had also passed, which meant that Xiaofeng could double the survival time.

However, this was still not long enough. His survival time was still shorter than that of the other NPCs. The Paladin Order would definitely be killed as soon as he died.

"Archbishop, I'm here to help you!"

At the most crucial moment, Bishop Renault rushed back. He increased Xiaofeng's HP with a treatment skill while the other four bishops formed two teams and got rid of the mist with their magical power. They could offset the damages inflicted on the Paladin Order by the Mist of War if only they could dispel the mist for 6 seconds per minute.

Finally, they all left the Mist of War after taking turns to increase the HP. At last, they saw the City of Gloom.
