MMORPG: The Elementalist

The Five Leagues of Angel Faction’s plan to siege and invade Sin City was kept a tight secret—an idea that Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, Netherclaw, Scarlet Bauhinia and Black God came up together. They made sure that only Clan Leaders, Vice Clan Leaders, and a few Field Commanders knew about it.

In order to make sure that there were no obstacles along the way, the Five Leagues had assigned hundreds of Winged Archers, Warriors, Elementalists, and Bandits to clear out enemies, whether specters or Demon Faction players on the path towards Sin City. Even though these Winged Champions did not know the exact reason why they were assigned, they were more than happy to oblige—it was the first huge joint operation of the new Five Leagues. In lieu of this, everyone was eager to complete their tasks accordingly with full commitment.

Thus, a massive force of a hundred thousand Angel Faction players were now advancing toward the Demon Faction’s turf without issues…

“What the heck…?”

In the jungle nearby, a huge troop of Netherspirit’s Claw members were still puzzled as to how so many players showed up at the same time when suddenly, they saw another group approaching too…

“Oh, even the Fallen Angels are here?”

“Is this a joke?”

“Just what kind of Boss are we tackling?”

“Oh shit! Look! It’s Scarlet Dynasty…”

Sure enough, a huge troop of Scarlet Dynasty players marched by. The warrior that was leading the troop looked at the massive army behind him, his eyes glimmering with excitement, “Oh, at this rate we might as well attack a city… and if that’s the case… oh shit… it’s going to be goddamn exciting.”

Hearing this, the Netherspirit’s Claw players, who were hiding behind the bushes, got fired up too.

“Oh fuck!”

“Finally! Finally the Angel Faction’s going to rise back to its former glory! That motherfucking Demon Faction has been attacking us all this while and we barely got to fight back… now they finally get a taste of their own medicine!”

“Haha! Hell yeah! Let’s wipe those Demon Faction cunts clean of their Honor Points!”

“Kill those Demon Faction bastards!”

“Kill them!”

Echoes of battle cries and cheers thundered throughout the forest…

At this moment, everyone appeared to have forgotten the grudges and vendetta that their leagues held toward one another.

Everyone only had one thing in mind…

Siege Sin City!

***

The battle cries in the forest were spread far and wide, so far the Demon Faction players who were stationed at Sin City were able to hear and feel the tremors of it. Noticing this, they frowned and searched for the source of the noise.

“You hear that?”

“…..”

“What noise is that?”

“…. it seems to be coming from Silent Ridge…”

Many curious players walked out of the city to check this unusual phenomenon out.

“Oh!”

“Look! Over there!”

“What’s that?!”

It was then when several thousands of Demon Faction players, who were manning their stations on the city walls, saw it—a huge thick black tide of a liquid-looking mass moved out of the Silent Ridge several miles away. No… that was no tide of water! Those were waves of people!

Naturally, the players who ventured out of the city walls also saw this.

“The heck?!”

“Usually… no raid groups would go through there…”

The Demon Faction had never experienced being sieged by the Angel Faction before. They did not expect this at all—especially not after the Fall of Moonrise City a while ago. It was unthinkable that the Angel Faction, which only had five newly established leagues, would attack Demon Faction, which had sixteen leagues!

Thousands and thousands of players marched out of the shadowy jungles of Silent Ridge, like a huge tsunami of soldiers flooding towards Sin City…

After a short pause of overwhelming shock, the players on the walls finally sounded the alarm!

“Enemy! Enemy incoming!”

“It’s a siege!”

“The Angel Faction’s attacking the city!!”

A few hundred players rushed into the city yelling out to alarm everyone! In an instant, every player in Sin City had known of Angel Faction’s attack. Naturally, the news was also sent to the leaders of all the Demon Faction’s clans and leagues…

In less than a minute, radiant long streams of teleportation beams were flashing continuously at the city’s Warp Portal, like a raging waterfalls of light!

Compared to the shocked players earlier, these ones who were teleporting into Sin City were all overwhelmed with excitement and joy. They had never seen Angel Faction gotten near Sin City this quickly and silently and they didn’t think the Angel Faction was any sort of threat too.

Siege? With just five leagues? What a joke. Even though the Winter Demon was able to show off and kill several of their men right in front of Sin City a while ago, today, it’s different. They, the Demon Faction, had over ten thousand Tier 5 Champions and thousands of Winged Champions. Their strength was many times stronger than that of the Angel Faction.

Thus, to them the Angel Faction was no threat, even if they were able to get this close to their capital city.

***

To the many leaders of Demon Faction’s clans and leagues, the Angel Faction’s attack on Sin City was more of an interesting event than a crisis.

Only one thing impressed them was that the Angel Faction was able to carry out this feat in total secrecy.

They had not the slightest scent of this attack prior to this day, not even after planting so many moles within the Angel Faction. It was rather impressive that they could have pulled this off without leaving any trace.

Yet, now that the Angel Faction’s here… there was no reason for them to back down too.

“Everyone! Whoever’s online in the clan! In fact, I don’t care who’s online or who’s not! Just get your asses to Sin City! Quick! If you miss this event, don’t say I didn’t inform all of you!”

“Hmph! All the Tier 5 Champions! We’ll rendezvous at the Potion Shop! Get resupplied quickly because we’re heading to the west gate right away!”

“What you’re waiting for! Get your asses moving! Quick!”

It would seem that these Demon Faction players thought their Sin City was totally secured. To them, this was more of a carnival that they should not miss.

***

Of course, not everyone was this positive about the Angel Faction’s attack. The league leaders and elites that were still in Underworld felt a chilled shiver running down their spine after hearing the news…

“What?! ”

“Report! How’s the situation in Sin City. How many men do we have in there? Just how close are the Angel Faction bastards right now?!”

“Boss, relax… we’ve got men coming in from various leagues. It would take the Angel Faction at least 5 minutes to reach the city walls. Sure, their attack was quite a surprise but we’ve still got time to prepare…”

Before the Field Commander was able to complete his report, Savior coldly interrupted, “Relax? Are you retarded?!”

“Who’ll take care of Qin Ruo? Which one of you will fight Majestic Hero? Can any of you take on Netherclaw? Tell me! Or perhaps your damn sword is good enough to slay that imbecilic Scarlet Bauhinia or Homme Fatale?? Sinistress, Zeus, me and so many of us are still in the Underworld. Just who else is in Sin City?!”

“Their attacks are well planned and they hit us right when we’re not looking. I’d be damn surprised if you could hold them off. And if you think those newbie leagues could hold these buggers off, then you’re out of your fucking mind!”

After yelling furiously at the Field Commander, Savior hastily ordered his men, “Contact Berserker Lord! Have him to command everyone in Sin City!”

“… wait! I’ll tell him the situation myself via private messages. All of you! Contact the four clan leaders in our league and tell them to abandon whatever they’re doing right now and bring all the Tier 5 players to the Sin City at once!”

Savior was in a panic.

All the four most experienced Leagues could not make it to Sin City in time, except for the Black Witches. As for him, Death Cult, and Zeus Legion were all still stuck in the Underworld. They had only ventured into the Underworld for a couple of days as they needed more time to scout and recon the Undead gathering ground locations and get themselves adjusted to the new environment.

As for Shaka from Twelve Zodiacs and the other newly formed League Leaders, they had never really listened to him. Only Berserker Lord, the League Leader of Berserker’s League, had the combat prowess and leadership to handle this crisis.

All sixteen Leagues of Demon Factions must focus their efforts to defend Sin City. The Angel Faction had picked a prime time to attack, a time when the city was the most vulnerable. Needless to say, they must have come well prepared. If they had taken this lightly, Sin City would surely fall and Demon Faction would be plunged into the dark ages!
