50: The God-killing failed! The Queen descends and shoots an arrow through her heart!
The Phoenix Empress's complexion had turned from ashen to a deathly gray.
All of her calculations, all of her trump cards, were neutralized by the opponent with an effortless, almost humiliating, ease.
This was no longer a tactical game.
This was an absolute, crushing difference in strength.
It was the absolute suppression brought by the foundation of a Level 9 Town Hall!
Five seconds.
Not more, not less, exactly five seconds.
The moment the crystalline ice shattered into countless fragments and the chilling air dissipated.
The golden invincibility shield covering the Barbarian Elite also let out a mournful cry, as if its last trace of divine power had been exhausted, and quietly shattered, turning into a sky full of light particles.
They fell from heaven into hell.
One second they were battle gods bathed in divine grace, invincible.
The next second, they reverted to fragile mortals, exposed naked to a hail of gunfire.
They hadn't even fully recovered from the frozen paralysis.
Above them, the ten death rays from the two multi-headed Hell Towers and the arcane torrent pouring down from the eight Mage Towers arrived as expected.
Their health bars were instantly emptied as if by an invisible hand.
That 'Immortal Legion,' once highly anticipated by the entire war zone, was completely vaporized within 0.1 seconds of regaining its freedom.
It was cleanly and thoroughly wiped from the battlefield.
[Little Devil]: "Well then, it's my turn."
[Little Devil]: "A turn-based game should have give and take to be fair, right? Hehe."
Accompanying this outrageously frivolous remark, a figure abruptly appeared on the city wall.
It was a tall female hero, clad in dark purple tight-fitting leather armor, with a huge longbow on her back.
She wore a silver mask that covered half her face, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp amethyst-like eyes.
A cascade of silver hair, like a waterfall, gently fluttered in the bloody wind.
[Hero: Archer Queen (Level 30)]
Level 30!
When this number, representing her level, was clearly imprinted before all observers like a divine judgment.
The entire alliance channel fell completely silent.
It was an indescribable shudder, originating from the depths of their souls.
If the dual Hell Towers, multi-target mode, and Freeze Spell before had only made them feel shocked and tricky.
Then this Level 30 hero brought pure, absolute despair that crushed all hope.
In this current stage, where most lords' heroes were still struggling in single digits, what did a Level 30 hero mean?
It meant an insurmountable chasm between gods and mortals.
The Phoenix Empress's Level 25 Holy Phoenix seemed to lose all its luster before this Level 30 Archer Queen, becoming dim and insignificant, like a firefly next to the bright moon.
After the Archer Queen appeared, she made no unnecessary movements.
She simply calmly raised the longbow in her hand.
Then, her figure vanished into thin air without a trace.
[Skill: Royal Cloak]!
The Phoenix Empress's heart skipped a beat!
An unprecedented, fatal sense of crisis instantly seized her soul!
She frantically tried to control her hero to retreat, to create distance!
But it was too late.
A purple streak of light, incredibly fast, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, appeared out of nowhere behind the Holy Phoenix, as if it had transcended space.
Pfft!
An armor-piercing arrow, made of pure energy, precisely and silently pierced the core of the Holy Phoenix, which was composed of holy light, from behind.
-12550!
A blood-red, shocking critical damage number exploded above the Holy Phoenix's head!
The Holy Phoenix didn't even have time to let out a cry of lament.
Its magnificent and brilliant body, like a burst soap bubble, instantly exploded, turning into countless golden light particles that dissipated into the cold air.
One arrow.
Just one arrow.
Instant kill!
The entire battlefield seemed to have been muted.
The minds of all observers were completely frozen.
They stared blankly at the empty backfield, then looked at the silver-haired figure, holding a longbow with unparalleled grace, who had reappeared on the city wall.
Is this... the world of Level 9 Town Hall?
Is this... the true strength of the number one on the leaderboard?
The Phoenix Empress's hero being instantly killed completely broke the camel's back.
The Archer Queen stood on the city wall, and each time she drew her bowstring, a Barbarian Elite fell.
Her attacks were as fast as lightning.
Every arrow found its mark.
Each arrow precisely hit its target, taking away a soul once thought to be indestructible.
In just over ten short seconds.
That golden, 'Immortal Legion,' once highly anticipated by everyone, was completely cleared, not even a fragment of armor left behind.
On the battlefield, a deathly silence returned.
The two Hell Towers also switched back to single-target mode, their molten crystals at the top re-converging, emitting an even more terrifying aura of destruction.
It was as if the earth-shshattering battle that had just taken place was merely an illusion.
And at this moment, also in the spectator channel.
Lin Feng's face showed no trace of shock or despair.
He calmly watched the Level 30 Archer Queen, and in the depths of his cold eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible flicker of excitement, like a hunter seeing his prey finally step into a trap, flashed.
"Indeed..."
"Heroes are the strongest spear in your defense system."
"To be so arrogant, using hero skills recklessly even when victory is already assured..."
Lin Feng's lips curled into a cruel arc.
"You will pay the price for your arrogance."
