Chapter 436: Zero Honor Points! Reclaim Your Glory!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Scarlet, Netherclaw, Violet Orchid!”
Majestic Hero forcefully held back his rather uneasy tone, calling for the trio in the command channel as he prayed that there was some issue with the other three zones…
“What is it?”
With a few minutes left of the one hour that the Demon Faction would occupy Moonrise City successfully, everyone was focused on the eastern zone, with the trio replying at once to Majestic Hero’s call.
“What are you doing, Hero? Why isn’t your sector pacified?”
Scarlet Bauhinia and Netherclaw’s calm replied left a chill in half of Majestic Hero’s heart …
“Violet Orchid?”
Struggling to calm his nervousness, Majestic Hero quickly uttered the last person’s name.
“Hmm?” Violet Orchid’s voice rang in the channel.
Majestic Hero’s expression worsened. “How’s the north?”
“All is calm…”
Her answer utterly shattered Majestic Hero’s last hopes. Thus, without hesitation, he hastily said, “Every person in the east was defeated. The rest of you should send men and check if there are any Demon Faction members left around…”
“Impossible!”
Netherclaw’s voice was agitated at once. “The ramparts are filled with our own men, where could the Demon Faction hide?”
However, as expected of League Masters, Netherclaw and Scarlet Bauhinia soon realized at once what was happening.
“Only Bandits could stay on the ramparts without us noticing.”
“That’s right! But there’s no lack of Bowmasters atop either…” Violet Orchid added, “The only possibility remaining is Tiger Cub!”
“This is bad… Only four minutes left.”
“Four minutes, do not tarry! Even if we have to send every remaining personnel left to search the city walls or mobilize every Tier 5 Elementalist, we have to drag Tiger Cub out of hiding!”
***
With the single orders from the Master of the Three Great Leagues, the ramparts of Moonrise City utterly broiled over!
Qin Ruo and the Angelic Wings champions were the first to receive the news—the trio who realized the direness of the situation quickly darting towards three different directions inside and outside of the city!
Even if it was just a mission that was akin to running an errand—easy and not dangerous, the expressions on the trio’s faces were ragged.
There were Demon Faction players still inside the city!
Bandit?
A bandit who could hide in Moonrise City without being noticed… How many such bastards are there in the Demon Faction?
Tiger Cub!
There could be none other, and if it really turned out to be him…
Qin Ruo could not help but sigh at the thought—the Angel Faction would have to face the worst consequences ever: Tiger Cub could hide in any corner of Moonrise City much less the ramparts.
Furthermore, even with the Elemental Perception of Tier 5 Elementalists, Tiger Cub’s Cloak and Stealth was known to fool even Scarlet Bauhinia himself. And with such crowds hanging around, it was with hundred percent certainty that Elemental Perception would be dulled.
***
While all of Moonrise City mobilized, the Demon Faction’s command channel echoed with congratulatory words every League Master offered the Twelve Zodiacs.
“Well done, Brother Shaka. You’ve amazed us all with a single feat!” The League Master of the Maverick Vatican, a usually discreet and mysterious man was saying.
“You’re too kind. It’s thanks to everyone’s effort.” Shaka replied, grinning ear to ear in delight.
During this siege, the leaders of the other four Leagues had placed their hopes on that War Behemoth and the Tier 5 champions from the twenty or more clans. In the end, however, it was Tiger Cub who performed brilliantly! Even if they did not get the chance to kill Majestic Hero, they were they had paid the most important role in this triumph.
The battle had been won elegantly! And now, everyone from the Maverick Vatican, Satan’s Salvation, Zeus’s Legion who rather belittled the Twelve Zodiacs clamoring over each other to offer their praise.
“To be honest, most of the credit for taking Moonrise City belongs to Brother Tiger Cub of your fine League—even we have to be satisfied with that. Still, we have to thank him that our Leagues did not lose face entirely!”
Savior spoke out as well. Despite Tiger Cub’s easy way of prolonging the siege period unlike their bloody battles, there was no denying his ability.
Death Jesus and the others who had died in the fight joined in as well.
“Congratulations…”
“Your League would be known far and wide after this! Still, I would love to see the faces on Majestic Hero, Scarlet and the others about now… Hmph. It would be so interesting.”
“Hahahaha!”
***
Unsurprisingly!
Until the very end, the Angel Faction players could not find any trace of Tiger Cub amidst the vast crowds…
***
“The ramparts of Moonrise City have been boarded by Demon Faction players for over an hour!”
“Angel Faction: city defense failed!”
The somber system notification echoed beside the ears of every Mythical Continent player!
And with the system alert, as countless Angel Faction players looked on with frightful gazes and pale faces, infinite streaks of mysterious light shot out into the skies from each guild!
The numbers of lights increased without stopping.
In that single moment, thousands of NPC champions, NPC guards who vanished after the War Behemoths appeared, NPC Generals and demigod elders in the guilds stretched their Angelic Wings imposingly and took to the skies above Moonrise City!
Swarms of NPCs that resembled angels and seemed to have thunder in their eyes swiftly appeared over the ramparts.
To the east of the city, Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, Black Rock, Apocalypse, and innumerable Angel Faction players suddenly noticed that one demigod-tier NPC who appeared to be warrior class had dove down to the side of the ramparts.
It was a single pass.
Then, the distinct blood-color figure of a Demon Faction player appeared before the eyes of infinite Angel Faction players…
Qin Ruo’s quartet clenched inwardly at the same time, and flapped their Angelic Wings as they darted towards them!
It was indeed Tiger Cub!
Blood was flashing in Majestic Hero’s eyes. But before he could close in, the demigod warrior who had restrained Tiger Cub tightly in his hand swept a thunderous glance at the four, each of them feeling immobilized at once.
Then, as if throwing off a dumpling, the demigod warrior flung Tiger Cub far away beyond the city… (Demigod NPCs do not interfere with fights between ordinary warriors.)
“From this day forth!”
The demigod warrior spoke, its sonorous voice instantly reverberating over the ears of every player inside and outside the city just like a system notification.
“For two months, Moonrise City shall be guarded by the Regular Corps themselves!”
“The Honor Points of all Angel Faction heroes shall be erased for their failure to defend the city! All parties, clans, and leagues shall be henceforth disbanded!”
***
Bang!
The sound of thunder!
Even if they knew early on that this was how things would end, many clans and players who had founded clans were left pale-white, shocked by the news…
Especially Scarlet Bauhinia, Majestic Hero, and Netherclaw—the Masters of the Three Great Leagues! Along with a dozen leaders of leagues and clans, they were the first to receive news that their Honor Points were erased, their clans disbanded, and their Leagues delisted!
The system alerts that appeared one after another swiftly struck down the three most powerful men of the Angel Faction. To think that they had run the Leagues for months and rise to the top of the Angel Factions, only for everything to end like this because of one single bandit!
A weariness washed over their spirits.
Majestic Hero closed his eyes, while his hand reached out to tightly grasp his League’s crest that was blurring and vanishing before his chest. Laughing drily and crazily for a while, two dots of crystals appeared quietly at the corner of his eyes…
“Whatever!”
Immeasurably dejected, Majestic Hero sighed once. Saying nothing to Qin Ruo and the other two, he promptly landed on the city walls—as the crowd looked to him with sympathy and concern, he vanished at once.
Majestic Hero was offline!
***
With the fall of Moonrise City, the punishment leveled at every Angel Faction player was spread across the Mythical Continent as a system announcement.
However, compared to Majestic Hero who went offline in sadness, Scarlet Bauhinia and Netherclaw were much more composed.
Regardless of the blow that left their hearts twitching, when every demigod NPC returned to their previous positions to stand guard over Moonrise City, both Scarlet Bauhinia and Netherclaw notified the Tier 5 champions around them, getting every League and Clan Elites in the city to gather beyond the city gates through shoutouts!
Honor Points reduced to zero…
The two heavily utilitarian veteran champions recovered their calmness at the same time, rationally assuming the path of reclaiming their glory and rebuilding their League!
After all, every Angel Faction player’s Honor Points was now zero.
Meanwhile, there were millions of Demon Faction players outside the city, with countless elites amongst them, and League Clan members numbering up to two hundred thousand—many of them would definitely have Honor Points!
Before, it had been difficult and consuming to carry out Honor Points missions with their Tier 4 abilities. Now, however, both of them commands great influence and could rally the others. As long as they could recruit a batch of Tier 5 champions and get them to stick together, would honor points not flow to them like a stream at a single command?
Although a million Honor Points was a lot, it was difficult to split them between five clans.
Moreover, the Leagues: Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw Spirit, and Hall of Heroes…
Those three names embodied a strong sense of belonging and honor for the hundred and fifty thousand members of the Leagues. Regardless of the collapses of League and Clan, the brotherhood in the league, along with the mark that their Field Commanders, Clan Leaders, and League Masters have left in their hearts would not be cleaned away at once.
Such emotions could not be given up at the ready.
Soon, most of the Clans and Leagues inside Moonrise City received the decree to rebuild their League. The other four Clan Leaders would have never given up on such an opportunity even with Majestic Hero’s departure—after all, members of the Hall of Heroes certainly would not choose to establish themselves separately despite Majestic Hero’s unhappy parting of ways.
Reclaiming their Honor was one thing; whether Majestic Hero would rebuild the Hall of Heroes was another.
All at once, countless Angel Faction players who had not taken one step out of the city spilled out the four main city gates!
An astonishing presence, as if floodwater that had been unbarred!
In the face of the forces in morning surging out of the city, the Demon Faction players wisely retreated: their objective achieved, it was their death if they kept making a fuss. In the end, this was the Angel Faction’s territory, and there was nothing in it for them.
Endless lights returning to the city rose incessantly outside Moonrise City.
Filling the land!
