Chapter 885: Chapter 543: Confrontation Task: Blue Midnight

"Enemy attack!" A factory player on guard in the factory yard had just uttered a shrill cry before being overwhelmed by a steel tide.

No matter how this player swung his weapon or unleashed his skills, he couldn’t repel the steel tide before him.

This group of Extraordinary troops appeared too suddenly, and they were too vast, too solid.

Like an unstoppable steel wall sweeping across, their advance was unstoppable!

The slash of light from the player’s blade could only leave a white mark on the armor of the soldiers, and the strength that could once shatter stone and sever gold had no effect whatsoever.

The mere force of the armored soldiers’ charge sent the player flying, and before he could stand up, heavy steel boots came crashing down on him. He was crushed into a pulp without even having the chance to scream.

In the pouring rain, the blood spread into pools, and yet the armored soldiers didn’t halt their march.

Their Chainsaw Axes spun in hand, unleashing a deadly melody as they smashed through glass and walls, crazily pouring into the factory building.

The employees within the factory, as well as the factory players, picked up their weapons in terror, but... they were facing the Immortal Cavalry personally led by the Great Tang’s Tian Ce General.

Regular bullets couldn’t penetrate the armor of the armored soldiers.

And RPGs shot at the armored soldiers were twisted and redirected by some power, exploding elsewhere.

As for the players’ equipment and their released skills, they found it very difficult to leave any wounds on the armored soldiers.

They possessed [Arrow Evasion Protection], [Weapon Damage Reduction 35%], [Close Combat Damage Reduction 5%]... which made the defense of the Immortal Cavalry terrifyingly strong. Players below LV10 mostly couldn’t defeat a single armored soldier, and even if they managed to defeat one by chance, more armored soldiers would raise their Chainsaw Axes against them.

Especially during a charge, even LV10 players wouldn’t want to face such a steel tide head-on.

"What are all these? Why would Ruhua Village have such an army?" A factory player shouted in horror as the suddenly appearing armored troops instantly breached their three workshops.

Dozens of employees who hadn’t managed to evacuate were trampled to death or chopped in two, and that included three players.

But... how did these troops appear? Ruhua Village was clearly under the control of the factory, from the tunnels to the villagers, all watched by the factory’s informants. How could such Extraordinary troops go unnoticed and unmentioned?

"No, this is... this is Great Tang’s Armored Battalion!" A player recognized the armored soldiers and screamed in shock, "It’s him!"

"The Great Tang’s Tian Ce General, the Crownless King on the LV10 Battle Power Rankings!"

"Li Ba!"

...

On the other side, Li Changhe and his two companions appeared in the factory yard.

When Yun Ting had quietly followed Zhao Jiu into the basement using her Assassin Rank heroic spirit’s skills, Li Changhe knew that no one in this factory was innocent.

They had built the factory here and secretly controlled the platform, attracting lone players to come here, turning them into their merchandise.

In the rooms of the underground space, it was unknown how many people had agonized and wailed. Their resentment had accumulated and solidified, forming a new platform.

This time, they had set their sights on Zhao Jiu, who possessed the Yin and Yang eyes. They were going to gouge out his eyes and, in endless humiliation and violation, gather more resentment.

Even if Zhao Jiu claimed to be an official, one from the Daoist sect, they wouldn’t stop.

They were the type who would shoot someone on the spot after capture. How could they be frightened by a title? Just like those traffickers, knowing their death was certain, they never showed mercy to the children they kidnapped.

If that was the case, then Li Changhe had no need for reservations, sparing these scum only made the rice more expensive to eat.

Thus, after approaching the factory, Li Changhe immediately summoned the Immortal Cavalry. He gave an order to leave no survivors.

The troops broke through their defenses in a single charge, covering a distance of less than a hundred meters.

One reason why Li Ba was elevated to a high-risk level by various official entities was due to his Immortal Cavalry.

A player with the ability to summon massive Extraordinary troops at will was, in some ways, more dangerous than a Holder.

As was the case at this moment, with troops swarming and launching an attack, even enemy players had to avoid their sharp edge.

And He Feng was now wearing a set of bizarre black armor, the two shoulder guards of which twisted as if they were living creatures.

This was his new armor synthesized after disassembling the Insect Queen. The Epic-Level [Insect Glory Armor].

Its Defense Force was average, but its effects were quite rare.

During battle, the black armor would absorb nutrients from the surroundings and heal its own damaged parts as well as He Feng’s injuries.

Even if the black armor shattered, there was no need to put it in the [Forge] for Reforging. And it could heal the wearer’s wounds, although it could only cure some flesh wounds, it was still a rarely seen treasure.

Meanwhile, Moon God was dressed in white splendid attire, his face covered with a golden eye mask. The rain from the sky seemed to forget him, not a single drop falling on his body.

So much so, that he remained dry in the torrential rain, appearing mysterious and noble. As if an exiled Immortal had descended to the mortal realm.

At the same time, all the enemy players inside the factory were struck by turmoil in their hearts.

Not because the armored warriors were invading their underground space, nor out of panic from the sudden attack of passengers.

But because, after the three of them entered the factory, they all triggered the [Confrontation Task] and could not refuse!

For they had no choice left.

[Warning, among the enemy players there is a LV10 Battle Power Rankings expert!]

[Warning, among the enemy players there is a LV12 Battle Power Rankings expert!]

"There are only three enemies, but two are from the Battle Power Rankings!" The factory players’ faces changed drastically. The experts on the Battle Power Rankings were the best among millions of players! Each ranking expert was an existence eagerly sought after by any player organization.

Even the passengers with abundant resources on the train had few who could make it to the Battle Power Rankings. This was enough to show the prestige of the Battle Power Rankings!

And now, among the three enemies, two were ranking experts. How could they not be fearful?

But what made them more desperate was that the last one of the three... the one whose name was not on the Battle Power Rankings but should be the Crownless King...

The hero who turned the tide in the disaster fog, General Li Ba!

They had dubbed their act of attracting lone players as fishing.

But little did they expect, in this round of fishing, they had lured in three great sharks!
