Chapter 322: Chapter 235: Snatching the Fruits of Victory_1

As the capital of the Lan Ai’er Empire and the headquarters of the wizards, the Wizard’s Association has firmly entrenched itself here. With the exception of the suburbs near the city walls, most of the southern part of the city has been allocated to the Wizard’s Association by the Imperial Royal Family.

Senior members of the Wizard’s Association are each allotted a residence in this area. In addition, there are numerous public buildings within this area under the control of the Association, creating a city within the city.

The Meteor Fall unleashed by Vivian is mainly targeting this area.

Two minutes after the battle began, the meteor shower continues to descend.

The sky is ablaze with fireballs impacting the earth, turning the entire southern city into a pockmarked battlefield. Countless people scream as they try to flee, only to be killed by intimidating meteors.

The knights can revive and return to their barracks to avoid this natural disaster, but the wizards have nowhere to run, because their revival point is right under the Mage Tower. As a result, they can only repetitively die within this area.

Not only people, but various buildings are continuously turned into ruins under the repeated explosions. Everywhere one looks, houses have basically been leveled to the ground, with only the more resilient magical structures standing, albeit precariously.

The blood-red sky reflected the image of a hellish scene on this disaster-stricken land. Everywhere there is fire reaching towards the sky, heavy smoke rolling, and the air is filled with heartbreaking screams...

Yet, amid this devastated area, there is one spot that remains untouched, evading every single meteor, like an ark floating in the vast ocean.

People like Jiu You, who watched the scene of total devastation, involuntarily trembled in fear as countless fireballs flew past their edges, exploding around them.

Although their area is not hit by meteors, being in such proximity meant that they wouldn’t be spared the indirect damages caused by shockwaves and heat waves.

However, by relying on various defense mechanisms and ongoing healing, they could withstand these minor damages relatively comfortably.

"Prepare your defenses." The one who spoke was Lin Xue, standing at the forefront of the crowd.

The typically silent Scythe Girl suddenly spoke, causing surprise amongst the crowd.

Jiu You was the first to react. In this devastated land, their area was the only safe zone. After experiencing repeated deaths, the only choice for others was to charge towards their position.

As expected, as the death toll of wizards and knights around them rapidly increased, more and more people started to notice their position, which remained unscathed despite the calamity.

Initially, only a handful of enemies attacked them. After they repelled a few waves, the wizards seemed to reach a consensus. Suddenly, they gathered and, like a deranged mob, launched an offensive at the players.

Of course, the players resisted with all their might. Unlike their previous siege strategies, this time it was their turn to defend.

Fortunately, the zone chosen by Mu You wasn’t selected at random. As the only elevated area nearby with slopes on all sides, it was easy to defend and hard to attack.

Moreover, those wizards attacking them had to constantly beware of the meteors falling from the sky. They could only exert a fraction of their full power. The players used various means to defend. Despite unavoidable casualties in such large-scale group battles, their defenses remained stable, never giving enemies a chance to breach their high ground.

Seeing their formation stabilize, Jiu You breathes a sigh of relief. At this moment, he starts to miss the field of underworld flowers. He hadn’t realized how powerful those flowers were when they were on the offensive, but now that they were under attack, he understood their defensive advantages. If they had a ring of those flowers protecting their formation, would these wizards still be this audacious?

While reminiscing, Jiu You subconsciously looks for Scythe Girl in the crowd, only to realize that Lin Xue is no longer present.

...

At that moment, Lin Xue is hundreds of meters away, at the location where the man in purple resides.

The man in purple is the only one among the wizards who has the ability to withstand the meteors.

As soon as the first wave of meteors fell, he had immediately erected a large protective shield overhead, guarding a space of more than ten meters in radius around him.

Upon the start of the bombardment, the surrounding wizards fled to his shield, seeking protection. They also erected their own shields to help the man in purple manage the pressure.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Countless meteors keep impacting the azure protective shield’s surface. Each hit causes severe tremors, making the shield unstable.

The repeated heavy strikes unavoidably deplete the man in purple’s magical and physical power. However, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and endure, as the surrounding people are all dependent on him.

But his perseverance doesn’t sit well with one particular person.

Just as the man in purple is struggling to hold out, he suddenly feels a surge of potent magical fluctuations from his side. When he turned to look, he saw the Scythe Girl flashing between the lava fields and was immediately taken aback.

"Dodge quickly!"
