The leaders of the different guilds gathered together with King Hu Yi and began to discuss different ideas that would flow at the moment and somehow increase the low probability of victory.
However, most of those ideas were far-fetched or nonsensical and were discarded by the rest without even a second thought.
"We can use earth mages. "Mu Yin, Mu Wuying's cousin suddenly had an idea and shared her opinion with everyone. Realizing that everyone was looking at her with attention, she continued, "Even if we don't know what kind of enemy we will be facing, any Saint grade powerhouse can fly, can't they?"
King Hu Yi nodded and slowly said, "After becoming a God grade powerhouse, even a fish can soar through the skies."
Hearing this, Mu Yin continued, "Since the enemy can fly, our attacks will have difficulty reaching it. However, if the earth mages use their Increased Gravity skill, we can force the enemy to fight on the ground."
One Man Army frowned slightly and carefully pointed out, "The idea is good, but is it even possible for a low level player to affect a Saint grade powerhouse?"
Currently, the average player level ranged from 23 to 25. Even the highest player was only level 33 currently, with this position belonging to Shiva. However, even Shiva himself admitted that his attacks could not reach the enemy by normal means... Since he couldn't do it, let alone the others. But even if the mages' attack reached the target successfully, could it even affect the enemy with such a difference in power?
Mu Yin nodded softly and clarified, "Of course, there's no way for one earth mage to even shake a hair of a Saint grade potency... However, what would happen if we gather hundreds of thousands and even more than a million at the same time?"
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing Mu Yin's idea.
"Your cousin is quite brilliant." Xie Feng whispered quietly to Mu Wuying.
Indeed. Mu Yin was not only a stunning beauty. She was by no means a useless flower vase and her brains and personal ability were top-notch. No matter how one looked at her, she was an excellent woman.
Mu Wuying chuckled softly and whispered in a tantalizing voice, "If you want her, you can probably make her yours quite easily. My cousin Yinyin was already quite impressed by your performance in Beijing and after learning that you are Shiva, her interest in you increased even more. I can see it in her eyes."
Xie Feng couldn't help but secretly laugh. His charm was really high... Apparently, from now on he would have to start wearing a mask every time he went out on the street or else he might end up getting countless couples destroyed.
While he was having narcissistic thoughts, the talk continued.
"Even if the united earth mages can't make the enemy plummet to the ground, it will at least definitely affect its movements. That's a good idea, Mu Yin." Yang Tian nodded in approval.
"Then how about letting me lead the earth mages to me?" Yang Li'er raised her soft hand and offered with a smile. "Although my earth power is not as good as my cousin's, I should be the second person here with the most power over this element."
Yao Zenyu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "I'm not particularly against it but... Wouldn't it be better to let Yang Tian take the lead?"
Although Yao Zenyu had many flaws, he could at least see the big picture of things and knew that he should put aside his hatred or dissatisfaction towards Yang Tian. After all, he knew that Yang Tian was a truly capable man and in times of chaos his help was more than welcome.
"Forget it. My job is another one here." Yang Tian shook his head and pointed to the city behind as he said, "Even if we successfully repel the attack of this Saint grade powerhouse, if the city ends up completely destroyed the citizens will have no place to return to and will lose everything... I will take it upon myself to defend the city as best I can from stray attacks."
Nangong Lei raised an eyebrow in slight surprise and remarked, "Only you want to defend the whole city? In case you have forgotten, this world is not the real world. Here, your earth power is almost useless."
"You don't need to worry about that. You'd better not let another enemy escape you or make such a stupid mistake as you did in Eminentis City." Yang Tian snorted mercilessly. Without waiting for a reply, he turned around and walked towards the city after delegating the command of the troops to the guild's vice leader.
Nangong Lei's face turned black as Yang Tian's words fell on his ears. Letting that boss escape back then during the defense battle was one of the biggest embarrassments in his entire life and now that that matter had been brought back into the light, his mood sank.
"This person... He really doesn't know how to read moods." Gu Qianxue couldn't help but groan a little.
Although she didn't like Nangong Lei either, it was also true that he was a powerful man with millions of players at his command. If Yang Tian's words angered him and he ended up taking his people away, the loss of defensive strength would fall greatly.
However, fortunately or unfortunately, time had run out.
A spatial rift several kilometers long opened up high in the sky, revealing within it the infinite black void as deep as a wolf's mouth.
"Everyone, take your positions now!"
The various guild leaders shouted in unison as they shuddered at the overwhelming pressure emanating from within that giant crack.
A giant head slowly emerged from inside the spatial rift and everyone finally got a partial glimpse of what kind of enemy they would be facing.
Those two golden-colored eyes seemed to have turned red with rage and were staring intently at the humans on the ground with murderous intent overflowing. The pressure the human army felt from being observed by those eyes was so immense that many of them did not move from their places and froze.
Just one look from those two giant eyes and that head covered with powerful deep blue scales and spines that seemed to be made of the hardest metal in the world was enough to make the army of millions of players suddenly feel as small and insignificant as an ant before an anteater.
Even many of the proud guild leaders could not help but shudder.
"My God..."
"A dragon...?"
"The enemy is a Saint grade dragon!"
Murmurs of disbelief and screams of terror shook the battlefield.
The crack began to distort fiercely and a powerful foreign force seemed to be doing its best to expel the reptilian-headed being inside as the monster struggled to open the mouth currently blocked by the powerful space force.
Even before leaving, the mighty Saint grade powerhouse had already locked the humans as its target to destroy.
On the other hand, keeping calm, Xie Feng was one of the few who took the opportunity to inspect the enemy to get as much information as possible and the first thing he saw was its name.
Abyssal Dragon!
