Heroes' Prison

Chapter 170 Iron Tide

At this time, Fist was guarding the entrance to the drawbridge leading to the other bosses, with a wide aggro range. Anyone passing by him would definitely be noticed, so in order to kill the Zombie King, they had to kill him first; there was no way to bypass him.

"All group leaders, take your people to the predetermined positions," Lin Yiqin commanded adeptly.

Then, the five thousand players on the field started to move in an orderly manner, each one expertly taking their place. The various groups spread out across different areas.

"Instakill Brother, go join the melee group outside; that’s your spot!" At this moment, a cute little girl in Huang Yi’s group spoke up. This adorable little loli was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with big, wide eyes, looking up at Huang Yi.

"Okay!" Huang Yi immediately went to the outer circle and stood there together with a group of melee members. The ten girls followed him closely, not leaving his side.

Huang Yi glanced around and noticed that the entire legion had basically surrounded Fist, but the ranged class stood in the inner circle, directly facing Fist. Except for a hundred-person melee group in the inner circle, the rest were all standing outside, their purpose unclear.

"Little Zongzi, go ahead! Priests, pay attention and keep his health up!" Lin Yiqin commanded again.

A figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and entered the center of the arena, facing Fist from a distance and preparing for battle.

Huang Yi looked intently and saw that the figure was a little boy.

With clear brows and handsome eyes, a determined expression on his small face, he held a small, exquisite shield in his left hand and a spear in his right. His entire body was clad in heavy plate armor, covering him tightly. He looked just like his name, Little Zongzi, chubby and capable of withstanding powerful attacks.

"Big, big, BIG!" At that moment, Little Zongzi cried out crisply, and his small body visibly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly becoming a giant about five or six meters tall. Although he was not as big as Fist, he looked like he could put up a decent fight now.

Little Zongzi rushed forward at high speed, his massive body thundering on the ground and with an unstoppable momentum, he charged fiercely at Fist.

"Boom!" Soon, Little Zongzi and Fist, the two giants, clashed in close combat. The spear in Little Zongzi’s hand stabbed into Fist, but Fist remained immovable. He simply lifted his long spear and stabbed it into Little Zongzi’s shield, causing him to stagger back several large steps.

This showed the gap between the two; Little Zongzi was simply unable to shake Fist and could only withstand his attacks.

At this moment, the crowd did not launch an attack but waited quietly. The bosses of the Tower of Pantheons were mass-produced by The Pantheon with limited intelligence, unlike the smarter bosses in the wild. As long as the main tank established stable aggro, the boss would focus only on him. Attacking the boss rashly could likely change the aggro target and lead to a group wipe.

"Ranged class, fire!" Ten seconds later, Lin Yiqin finally issued the command.

Then, all the ranged classes on the field began their assault at the same time!

Thousands of ranged class members launched Fireballs, Ice Cones, Light Pillars, and Arrows at Fist. The sky was blotted out, skills filled the air, and the radiance of the skills dazzled. The entire sky looked like a fireworks feast, colorful and diverse.

And the hundred-person melee group in the inner circle also charged at Fist with weapons in hand, unleashing various charge skills and weapons upon the boss, quickly surrounding him tightly like an iron barrel.

The skills of the ranged class did not cause damage to them, as this was a group status with no friendly fire.

This made Huang Yi understand why only one warrior group was left in the inner circle; only so many people could fit at Fist’s feet at the same time. Any more and not only would they be unable to hit Fist, but they could also potentially block their allies. The ranged class, due to their larger circle and longer attack range, were not subject to this restriction and could all attack Fist.

The Yanhuang Legion attacked Fist steadily, with practiced movements and clear understanding of each step, requiring little command from Lin Yiqin. They were very familiar with Fist, having successfully killed him multiple times, and needed no excessive directing.

Gradually, the boss’s health points went down to 30% without a single mishap!

"Fist is about to summon his legion. All ranged classes turn immediately, face the outer circle, prepare your ultimate moves; melee class in the outer circle, get ready to withstand the minions, clear the minor enemies as fast as possible!" Lin Yiqin’s voice rang out again, slightly urgent.

The next moment, Fist suddenly stopped all attacks, a golden shield appearing on him that blocked all incoming attacks. He stretched out his hand, palm facing the sky, and a grand and distant voice echoed: "Heroic Spirits from the ancient battlefield! Your general is currently being desecrated by a swarm of ants. Come and exterminate these despicable ants!"

This voice filled the entire world, spreading in all directions!

Following that, Fist kept that summoning posture and did not attack anymore.

Meanwhile, the thousands of ranged class members of the Yanhuang Legion turned around, facing the outer circle with solemn expressions, their lips moving slightly as if they were chanting the spells of powerful skills!

Huang Yi also turned around, keeping his movements in sync with the others.

At that moment, countless shadows began charging from straight ahead. They were clad in steel helmets and plate armor, wielding long spears and war blades, like the fierce soldiers from ancient battlefields, charging at the Yanhuang Legion with a momentum so fierce the very earth shook, revealing the tremendous force of the impact!

Right now, the Yanhuang Legion was like a frail boat about to withstand the massive impact of an Iron Tide and could collapse at any moment. The melee class in the outer ring had become the only line of defense, firmly guarding the ranged class within!

Once this defensive line was broken, the fragile ranged players inside would be massacred to the last man, leading to a total annihilation!

"This time it’s the strongest Iron Soldiers. Everyone, burst forth with full power and ensure to annihilate this army in the shortest time possible!" Lin Yiqin’s voice was filled with gravity; clearly, this skill was one of Fist’s strongest, capable of summoning soldiers of various strengths at random, and the ones appearing now were precisely the strongest kind!

"Boom!" As the enemy army entered the attack range, thousands of ranged class players all unleashed their burst skills. Countless skill radiances soared over Huang Yi’s head and smashed into the dense ranks of Iron Soldiers, halting their momentum for a moment.

However, these Iron Soldiers were extraordinarily tenacious. Even after enduring the violent onslaught of attacks, they did not fall and continued to advance, truly unstoppable like the forces on a battlefield, never retreating.

"Melee classes, get ready to hold them off! Don’t let them break our formation!" Lin Yiqin said urgently.

Huang Yi gripped his weapon tightly, watching the surging Iron Tide charging towards him like he was in an ancient battlefield, invigorating his blood to boil.

"Melee classes on the outer ring, get ready!" Lin Yiqin commanded loudly, "Three, two, one, charge!"

Subsequently, all the melee class players in the outer ring activated their charge skills and fearlessly rushed towards the Iron Tide!

Hundreds and thousands of figures, dense like a swarm, charged heroically forward, like moths to a flame, using their lives to block the enemy’s advance and protect their teammates behind them!

This was the first time Huang Yi had witnessed such a spectacular large-scale battle—the Tower of Pantheons’ five-thousand-man mode was akin to a war!

"Puff, puff, puff!" As one melee player after another reached the group of Iron Soldiers, sounds of sharp weapons penetrating flesh densely filled the air.

The Iron Soldiers were incredibly strong; the melee players were no match for them, being killed one by one, falling down, turning into corpses.

"Pursuit!" Huang Yi also activated his charge skill, mingling in the crowd as he rushed toward the Iron Tide!

"Boom!" The next moment, Huang Yi collided with an Iron Soldier, stunning it, then he raised his Orange Martial Hammer and smashed it down!

"Puff!" The soldier’s armor caved in from the blow, turned into scrap metal, and since the Iron Soldier had previously been bombarded by the ranged class’s attacks and was already in a critical state, Huang Yi instakilled him with one move.

But soon, more Iron Soldiers rushed over, and Huang Yi met them head-on, engaging in a fierce close combat and displaying an air of courageous invincibility.

"Scorched Earth!" The next moment, Huang Yi activated the Scorched Earth Effect from his Legendary Boots!

Suddenly, a circle with a two-hundred-meter radius of ground erupted with scorching magma, turning the whole area into scorched earth, and the sky was filled with numerous flaming crows, wailing and howling as the sky turned red like dusk on doomsday.

"Judgment!" Immediately after, Huang Yi, holding his weapon, spun rapidly, spreading a green Poisonous Miasma in a two-hundred-meter radius, mixing with the scorched earth, covering a large area and engulfing thousands of Iron Soldiers within it!

The other skill radiances were also submerged and dimmed, with Huang Yi’s scorched earth and poisonous miasma engulfing everything within two hundred meters as if a Holy Domain Warrior had descended upon the land.

The five thousand members of the Yanhuang Legion who saw this dramatic scene were stunned, their eyes wide open, staring blankly at Huang Yi as he fought valiantly on the battlefield!

At that moment, he stood amidst the pervasive poison and lava, like a War God from hell, firmly blocking the surging Iron Tide!
