“Brothers, let’s go on a killing spree!”
Because the game automatically translated everyone’s speech, everyone could understand what the people from the Holy Wolf Club were saying.
These people had clearly come here to cause trouble.
They truly wanted to see the world burn.
Bombs and magic began blasting everyone nearby. The players who had come to join the excitement and lend a hand were instantly killed, their equipment completely looted.
“Boom!”
The teleportation array was blown apart.
Now, no one could come and reinforce them.
“Thorn Town is nothing special!” the giant wolf sneered.
But in the very next moment, an angry curse rang out.
“Which bastard destroyed the teleportation array? Come out here and face me!”
Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate charged forward with a shield slung over one arm and a massive diamond-grade iron hammer in the other.
[Taunt]
In an instant, countless werewolves turned toward Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate.
Their huge bodies pounced on her. Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate swung her hammer at the nearest werewolf.
The giant hammer tore through the air with a howling wind.
With a thunderous crash, the giant wolf seemed to be flattened in midair by the blow and was sent flying more than twenty meters.
In the blink of an eye, its health bar emptied.
Instant kill!
Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate swung her hammer again, bringing it down from above. The head of a three-meter-tall werewolf was struck by the massive weapon, followed by its entire body and both legs.
It was smashed into a little pancake.
“Fuck! Where are the mages? Get over here and support us!” the Holy Wolf Club members roared.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
It was obvious that their opponent was a shield warrior. Anyone could tell from her equipment.
But her damage was ridiculously high—terrifyingly high, even.
One swing of her hammer had killed one of their companions.
These companions of theirs had committed countless atrocities. Killing players and NPCs granted them attribute bonuses, making every one of them comparable to an elite boss in the game. Combined with their own skills, each of them could take on a hundred players alone.
Some werewolves even possessed naturally powerful talents. With their attribute bonuses, they were practically comparable to map bosses.
But why?
How could they not even survive a single swing from this ferocious woman?
What was even more frightening was that although fear had already taken root in their hearts, the woman’s arrogant taunts somehow drove them to keep attacking her one after another.
Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate was having the time of her life.
She rarely got a chance to fight. After all, she was a shield warrior. Her job was to get hit by monsters, not to hit them.
Even when they fought bosses, the damage dealers were always Chu Fu and the others.
As a result, Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate had never realized just how powerful she was.
Now, seeing these hulking werewolves fall to a single swing of her hammer, she felt as though she were simply hammering metal as usual.
Her hammer had been forged from the fangs and club of the Goblin Divine Envoy. It was a diamond-grade weapon with astonishing attack power. At present, it killed one werewolf with every blow.
She swung from the front, from the side, and in spinning arcs.
One person alone beat the Holy Wolf Club’s players so badly that they were scrambling all over the ground.
With Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate taking action, the surrounding players finally came to their senses and erupted in fury.
“Who dares cause trouble in Thorn Town?”
“Fuck, I always thought weapons were forbidden in safe zones! So you can actually attack people here?”
“You can attack people, but the guards will attack you too!”
“These guys all have deep-red names. Killing them won’t make the guards attack us!”
Once that was said, the players rose up as one and attacked.
The Holy Wolf Club members were furious.
Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate had the title of Vice President of the Thorn Guild above her head. She was at least someone of importance.
But what did this bunch of people amount to?
They fled in anger, hoping to charge into the crowd.
But in the next instant, they were surrounded and beaten mercilessly.
It hurt!
How could these people’s damage be so high too?
Taking a closer look, they were all wearing dark-gold equipment.
Dark-gold equipment was endgame gear for level-30 players at the moment.
Every one of these people had a full set.
Only then did the Holy Wolf Club players realize that something was wrong with Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate.
“Damn, why is she wearing a full set of diamond-grade equipment?”
They had never seen the effects of diamond-grade equipment before. Only now did they notice that the effects on Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate’s gear were completely different from everyone else’s.
So that was why!
No wonder they couldn’t beat her.
“Forget it! Get out of here and hide!”
All the Holy Wolf Club members had Disguiser Masks. As long as they hid among the crowd, they could seek revenge later.
However, because of the commotion they had caused, more and more people continued to arrive.
They had often been surrounded and attacked in the past. They had even treated human players like ordinary mobs.
But now that they were the ones being surrounded, they finally understood what helplessness felt like.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Holy Wolf Club players lay sprawled on the ground.
The players quickly stripped their corpses, even taking their resurrection scrolls.
Some used resurrection scrolls to revive, only to be blasted back to the ground again in the next instant.
“Damn, they’re so poor! They’re still wearing silver equipment?”
“A wolf this big, and all it’s wearing is some gold gear? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Didn’t you say the Holy Wolf Club was made up of powerful nobles, backed by weapon merchants? Is this all you’ve got?”
“Your combat strength is way too pathetic. And you came here to cause trouble?”
“Queen Jiaojiao takes one down with every swing! Jiao Jiao, I recorded your glorious performance just now. Give me one gold coin, and I’ll post it on the forums and praise you to the heavens!”
Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate insisted on watching the sample footage on the spot and immediately paid ten gold coins.
“Post it. Promote me exactly like that.”
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, Chu Fu finally returned.
Seeing the corpses scattered across the ground, she knew the matter had been settled.
The surrounding players from Thorn City immediately crowded around and began complaining all at once.
“Plant Master, these people were awful! They blew up the teleportation array, so no one else could come and support us.”
“It’ll take twenty-four hours to repair the teleportation array. Do we have enough people to defend the city?”
“Damn it, these people got us killed!”
The players were just as furious now as they had been excited when attacking the Holy Wolf Club. Naturally, they did not want to lose the city defense battle. This was the best city in Thorn City.
Chu Fu comforted everyone.
“Don’t be afraid. We have more than enough strength to defend it. We don’t need to rely on outsiders.
We’ll defend it ourselves!
Otherwise, you won’t be able to earn any contribution points.
Besides, we still have a chance to enter an Origin-level dungeon. If outsiders come, won’t they take away part of the divine power?”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
They trusted Plant Girl.
However, Chu Fu was secretly worried.
To trigger the village-defense battle early, one thousand level-10 players were required.
To trigger the town-defense battle early, ten thousand level-20 players were required.
Chu Fu had always assumed that triggering the city-defense battle early required ten thousand players, because the rankings only displayed the top ten thousand.
Moreover, her older brother Chu Feng was a lone wolf who had been leveling on the frontier maps at the very front of the game’s progression, so some of the prerequisite conditions had never been described in the storyline.
But over the past few days, eighteen thousand players in the Thorn Guild had reached level 30 and completed their class advancement quests.
The number had long since surpassed ten thousand.
Since the city-defense battle had still not been triggered early, the number of players required to trigger it early had to be one hundred thousand.
In her previous life, not a single city had more than one hundred thousand level-30 players on the hundredth day after the Primeval Gate opened.
