Heroes' Prison

Chapter 791 - 752: The Fall of the Martial Arts Guild_2

A million troops spread out in all directions, stepping on the blackened earth, simultaneously converging toward the central area of the Northern Sea City ruins, ensuring that those inside had no direction to retreat.

Gradually, they arrived at the center of the ruins. It was filled with towering piles of debris, resembling ferocious giant beasts scattered about.

"Use magic items with caution!" Ling Luo, sensing that they were approaching the center and that a battle was imminent, issued a command.

Immediately, the million members of the Martial Arts Guild began using their respective magic items, significantly enhancing their attributes and mitigating the weakening effect of this Cursed Land.

At the same time, various lighting measures were activated—flares and beams of light lit up the ruins, illuminating the area as bright as daylight.

...

At this moment, all the Oceanic Airships had landed, but the personnel on board did not disembark and remained inside the airship cabins, seemingly on standby.

Commander Wen Xiange was aboard one of the airships, peering into the distance through a telescope. In the lenses, countless enemies were creeping toward them.

The corner of Wen Xiange’s mouth lifted slightly, and he immediately issued a command: "Deploy reinforcements!"

As soon as the command was given, it was as though it sparked a cataclysmic reaction. Suddenly, deafening sounds of slaughter erupted throughout the Northern Sea ruins!

From behind the ruins, countless troops emerged abruptly, numbering several tens of thousands! They launched a ferocious counterattack against the dispersed Martial Arts Guild members!

"What’s going on? How are there so many people? Weren’t there supposed to be only a little over two thousand?" Ling Luo’s expression shifted drastically as he looked at the attacking forces pouring in.

The Martial Arts Guild troops, caught off guard, were thrown into chaos under the overwhelming onslaught. Many started to retreat instinctively, with some showing signs of outright collapse.

With their attributes weakened by half, the sudden assault by tens of thousands posed a severe threat to their million-strong army!

"Quick! Retreat immediately! Don’t fight them in the ruins!" Ling Luo urgently issued an order. The scattered formations meant that those encountering the attack up front were quickly killed, while the rear troops couldn’t catch up in time, making coordinated responses extremely difficult. He decided to command a retreat to regroup before launching a counterattack.

But just then, thunderous battle cries erupted from the distant outskirts of the city, accompanied by an overpowering, mountain-crushing momentum!

Ling Luo turned swiftly to look toward the direction they had come. He saw countless players charging toward them in tight formation, numbering in the tens of thousands! Mounted on fast-moving steeds, their rapid advance shook the ground like an earthquake!

"What’s happening? Where did these people come from?" Ling Luo’s heart sank into despair. The sudden appearance of these forces had the capability to trap their million-strong army here entirely!

Almost instantly, the Martial Arts Guild’s forces fell into a predicament of simultaneous attacks from the front and rear, enduring a ferocious pincer assault!

"Everyone find cover and stall for time!" Ling Luo barely had time to think before issuing another command. He swiftly messaged several Corps Commanders stationed at guild territories: "Mu Shang, Heavenly Maple Falling Dust, Mindful Tree Planting—you each lead a million troops. Get here immediately to reinforce us!"

Troop movements from the guild territories displayed extraordinary speed. Mu Shang, Heavenly Maple Falling Dust, and Mindful Tree Planting—three Corps Commanders stationed in various territories within the Martial Arts Guild—each mobilized their forces within five minutes. They teleported to the nearest point to the Northern Sea City ruins and rushed toward the area to assist in the retreat of Ling Luo’s million troops.

...

"Big brother! The scout we planted in the Martial Arts Guild just reported—Ling Luo has dispatched three million reinforcements to assist with their retreat!" At this moment, Wen Xiange received another intelligence report.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter foresaw this perfectly." Wen Xiange spoke to himself with a satisfied tone, as though everything had been predicted.

Earlier, when they departed from the Hero’s Continent, Huang Yi had conducted a thorough analysis for Wen Xiange, detailing several likely scenarios. What was happening now aligned perfectly with Huang Yi’s predictions.

The next moment, Wen Xiange sent out another short but impactful message—a message destined to shock the entire Land of Dongying.

The Tusk Guild, ranked 11th in the Land of Dongying, was bustling in their main territory. Every member had received instructions from their Guild President to log in tonight and be on standby, though the specifics of the mission remained unclear.

Similar situations also unfolded in the 22nd-ranked Conan Guild, the 39th-ranked North Battle Guild, the 67th-ranked Heavenly Son Mountain Guild, and the 101st-ranked Persistent Abandonment Guild.

At this moment, countless guild members were online, waiting for their Presidents’ mysterious orders.

Then, they all simultaneously received a command from their Guild Presidents—

"Launch an attack on the Martial Arts Guild immediately!"

Following the directive, these guilds’ core members sprang into action, leading their troops to teleport near Martial Arts Guild territories and launching rapid assaults with astonishing efficiency!

...

Ling Luo, still in the ruins of Northern Sea City, was frantically commanding his forces, defending while awaiting the arrival of reinforcements.

Suddenly, a flurry of guild notifications flooded in—

[Guild Announcement]: Tusk Guild has launched a guild war against the Martial Arts Guild! Currently attacking Wucheng Territory!

[Guild Announcement]: Conan Guild has launched a guild war against the Martial Arts Guild! Currently attacking Hengjing Port Territory!

[Guild Announcement]: North Battle Guild has launched a guild war against the Martial Arts Guild! Currently attacking Hengjing Port Territory!

[Guild Announcement]: Heavenly Son Mountain Guild has launched a guild war against the Martial Arts Guild! Currently attacking Wucheng Territory!

[Guild Announcement]: Persistent Abandonment Guild has launched a guild war against the Martial Arts Guild! Currently attacking Four Sided Mountain Territory!

Ling Luo was completely stunned—at the same time, five guilds had launched attacks on their territories!

Not long ago, they had sent several million troops as reinforcements; now their territories were practically left defenseless. With such sudden and widespread assaults, the consequences were unimaginable!

"Why? Why are all these guilds attacking our guild at the same time?" Ling Luo’s mind was in shambles, engulfed in confusion. The events of tonight seemed so bizarre that he barely had time to react.

What Ling Luo didn’t know was that the Presidents of these guilds all hailed from a place called Rose Prison!

These guilds were brotherhoods formed under the banner of Rose Prison!

...

Wen Xiange quickly received confirmation from the five guild Presidents—all had commenced their assaults on the Martial Arts Guild! With the guild’s depleted defense forces, resistance was proving futile, and many guild cities’ Heavenly Curtain Barriers were already breached.

Wen Xiange immediately stowed his telescope and issued a command to the entire Airship Corps: "All airships, take off again! Head for remaining Martial Arts Guild territories and execute the second bombing mission!"

As his voice echoed, one Oceanic Airship after another roared to life and ascended into the skies, speeding toward Martial Arts Guild territories! Soon, they vanished from the ruins of Northern Sea City!

The battle plans meticulously laid out by Huang Yi were unfolding seamlessly.————————————————

There’s a 4,000-word Chapter here. The narrative perspective shifts frequently—sometimes focusing on Wen Xiange, sometimes on Ling Luo, and occasionally on the five guilds. But it shouldn’t feel too chaotic to follow. (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, you’re welcome to visit Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
