Chapter 1337: Guarding

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Outside the blue barrier, the surging vines had already surrounded the entire blue barrier. The dense barrier kept bombarding the barrier, creating ripples.

Yu Ruilin shook his head gently and secretly sent a message to the outside world.

Under the protection of so many Empire guards, it was impossible for them to destroy holy weapon scale.

On a hill not far away, a group of players gathered.

After several attempts at attacking the blue barrier were ineffective, Younica signaled the mages to temporarily stop attacking and rest to recover their spiritual strength.

Looking at the blue barrier that was still unmoving under the attack of the berserk vines, a few player leaders gathered together and discussed softly.

“I’ve never seen such a powerful shield before. The sacred tree’s attack power can even instantly kill a Tier 3 creature. The attack density is even higher, but it’s still completely absorbed by the shield.”

“Yes.” Tang Mingyue nodded in agreement and said, “I’ve just tried the most powerful single-target forbidden spell scroll, but it was still easily blocked by the barrier.”

A player hurriedly stepped forward and nodded at the commander, Younica. He gave her a careful look.

“Speak,” said Younica.

“Yes. Yu Ruilin just sent a message. He found out that the Council of Elders of the Empire has brought the Empire’s holy weapon-the unfair scale. The blue barrier was released by the scale, and they tried several times. It is impossible to break the scale from the inside.”

The players frowned.

The holy artifact level.

Just from the name alone, one could tell that it would be extremely troublesome to deal with.

Just as everyone was at a loss, an old man muttered to himself and suggested, “The energy contained in the blue barrier is very strong. With our current strength, it will be very difficult to break through the barrier head-on.”

The players shifted their gazes to the old man.

Wei Hongyuan.

He had been studying nature spells for many years and had a high reputation among players. He also had a good reputation in the Mage Association.

“Elder Wei, do you have any ideas?”

“Maintaining a huge barrier magic array requires a huge amount of energy supply. Even a holy artifact can’t continuously release energy. It’s not a bad thing for us to wait here and stall for time. We can rely on the sacred tree to continuously consume the power of the holy artifact.”

Hearing Wei Hongyuan’s words, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Since they already had the initiative, it didn’t seem too bad to continue wasting time like this.

Elder Wei looked at the huge blue barrier in the distance, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes. He continued, “However, in my opinion, the Empire definitely knows this. They definitely won’t stay where they are and wait for death in vain. They must be planning something. I suggest that we be wary of their final attack. If we insist on breaking the barrier head-on…Forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid only Lord Fang Heng can do this.”

That’s right!

Hearing Wei Hongyuan’s words, everyone couldn’t help but think of Fang Heng, and they all turned to look at Ed.

Ed’s mouth was bitter.

The leadership of the team was handed over to Younica. She had been distracted by Li Xue’s team to communicate with Fang Heng.

He knew very well that Fang Heng probably had no mood to help them now.

Younica looked at Ed and asked, “Is there any news from Fang Heng?”

Ed could only tell the truth when he saw everyone’s expectant gazes.

“To be honest, Lord Fang Heng has just returned to Hani City a few times and left very quickly. He just mentioned that he needs a large amount of holy equipment, and the offline team is fully cooperating to collect holy equipment and transport them to Lincoln City.”

“Also, not long ago, Wang net led the elite barbarian team to attack the Holy City again. He even invited the player team to help. He said that he was going to clean up the entire Holy City and take away all the equipment and resources. Not a single member of the Holy Court was left alive…”

Huh?

When everyone heard Ed’s words, an inexplicable feeling rose in their hearts. There was still a huge battle going on here, yet Fang Heng had to go to Lincoln City to fight with the Holy Court? Did he want to start a holy war?

What was the meaning of this?

No matter how they think about it, it felt strange.

Younica was also puzzled. She felt that Fang Heng was becoming more and more unpredictable.

Just as she was at a loss, a dazzling blue light suddenly bloomed from the position of the Empire’s army in front of her.

The light that exploded was extremely dazzling! Everyone had no choice but to turn their heads and close their eyes to avoid the sharp blue light!

“Boom!!!”

The earth trembled slightly, and a huge blue beam of light boom out from the shield!

Mountains, trees, rivers, everything along the way was completely melted by this blue torrent!

The light lasted for half a minute before slowly dissipating.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked down the hill again.

A deep ravine appeared on the ground where the blue light had swept past.

Even the 100-meter radius area outside the blue barrier had been completely cleared by the beam’s energy. At this moment, the Empire’s team looked as if they were standing on a protruding platform.

The players’ faces paled.

A player received a message from the survival radio station and reported in a deep voice, “Captain, we have an ambush scouting team that was attacked by a blue light beam. The entire team was instantly killed by the light beam. According to the game log, it was attacked by the holy artifact, the unfair scale.”

A terrifying holy artifact…

It seemed like the Empire team led by Xiao Yun wasn’t completely defenseless.

Everyone’s heart sank, and their breathing became heavy. They even felt a little lucky.

The line of attack formed by the blue light beam was less than 200 meters away from them. If their luck was a little worse, they might have been completely melted by the holy artifact’s attack just now.

Younica said in a deep voice, “Everyone, it’s no longer safe here. Pass down my order. Everyone, retreat two kilometers immediately!”

…

In the huge blue barrier, Gernot, the arbitrator of the Council of Elders, also looked pale.

The attack just now had consumed a lot of the holy artifact’s energy, but the effect of the attack was not good.

They had only killed a dozen enemies.

The most troublesome thing was that in just a few seconds after the attack, the vine creatures that had been destroyed by the beam of light began to spread from all directions, filling up the ravines and empty ruins that had just been cleared.

A distance of more than a hundred meters was nothing to the vines.

In less than ten seconds, the dense vines once again covered the blue barrier and attacked it again.

D*mn it! How could the vitality of these vines be so strong?

What should he do?

Originally, Xiao Yun and his group had planned to use the power of the alchemy magic array to disperse the vine forest, then use the power of the Empire’s army to occupy Hani City, and finally use the holy artifact to destroy the sacred tree!
