"It's too risky!"
Berserker Lord was always full of surprises. Nonetheless, Death Jesus, Black Widow and the others didn't seem too impressed by this plan of his.
They simply didn't have enough time!
With the amount of crew they had in the city and how the Angel Faction located their troops, this could perhaps work out... yet, they had only thirty minutes left! If they wanted to clutch the enemy forces in this pincer attack from both the north and south sides and also reclaim the west sector of the city, they would need more time than that. It would be impossible to pull this off within ten or twenty minutes.
Still, they couldn't ignore the elite troops who had taken a foothold inside the city.
If they were to go in with a pincer attack, would they be able to clear up all these enemies in the limited amount of time they had? Besides, there were also numerous Tier 5 Bowmasters amongst the enemies' ranks. If the Angel Faction were to cunningly ambush them with a few gangs of Bandits, Sin City would still fall.
"If you've got better ideas, you better spit it out now. If there are none, then you better do as I say! Or else, you're just wasting everyone's time!" Berserker Lord responded with a grim reply. He then ordered all his men to gather at the north and south sides of the city and led them in a march towards the western walls!
The others who did not join the march stayed behind and watched the Five Leagues of Angel Faction increase their firepower at the plaza... These veteran Champions forcefully pushed their forces towards the plaza, inadvertently causing the Warp Portal to stop functioning for a moment. Dark Gold Emperor and the others couldn't help but feel tremendous pressure as they saw this.
"Damn it!"
"I guess we'll have no choice!"
Without better options, they had decided to call Berserker Lord's bet!

"Hmmm?"
"There are battles going on at these two areas too?"
Violet Orchid and Homme Fatale, who were guarding the Gravity Field casters 'Black Rock and Xin Yu, ' were surprised as they saw both the north and south sides of the west walls getting engulfed in fierce battles.
Immediately, they knew something had gone wrong.
The Demon Faction appeared to have seen through their weakest line of defense and had started to strike at the northern and southern side of the west walls from outside. Over hundreds of Tier 5 players worked hand in hand to take out the Tier 5 Angel Faction players on the west side of the city, crushing their line of defense and reclaiming their lost territory.
"Oh no! They knew!"
A frown rooted upon Violet Orchid's face.
Although they could get a few more Tier 5 players over to strengthen the west wall, there was something else that Violet Orchid was worried about.
There were only thirty-two minutes left to succeed in taking down Sin City...
Indeed, it was not hard to reinforce the defense. However, if they were to prolong the clashes between them and the Demon Faction, there would be tremendous losses that the Five Leagues would have to endure. Even if they were to win the war, the price would be too hefty.
They would have lost too much equipment and loot they acquired wouldn't be able to cover it. This would be a heavy blow not only to the Fallen Angels but also to all the Five Leagues of Angel Faction.
Enduring such a great loss just to seek revenge on the Demon Faction was surely not worth it at all!
"Little Ruo."
Keeping her cool, Violet Orchid sent a private message straight to the plaza of Sin City.
"Where you're at..."
That plan... it was time to execute it!
***
As more and more men of the Sixteen Leagues were sent to the two directions of the west walls, the Demon Faction was able to find a sweet spot in the enemies' lines. Thousands and thousands of Tier 5 players flocked towards the battlefield in the west striking from two directions, causing massive casualties to the Angel Faction players on the western wall of Sin City.
The Angel Faction's strong forceful advance had been effectively held off... there were Demon Faction's Tier 5 players holding the line in the plaza. Also were enormous amounts of Tier 5 players attacking the back of the enemy lines, reclaiming territories that they'd lost in the west side of the city.
Angel Faction was suddenly tossed into a massive crisis...
Even though they held tremendous advantage in the frontlines by slaughtering numerous Demon Faction players and their flying pets, their rear was now being attacked relentlessly by the enemies. This had resulted in a massive dent to their morale—they now not only had to take out the enemies in the plaza but also risked having their comrades in the rear getting completely wiped out, essentially making them a lone troop surrounded by enemies deep in their lair.
This was a terrifying prospect indeed!
Majestic Hero, Netherclaw and the other League Leaders were paying extra attention to the ever-changing battlefield while pushing onwards in the frontline... after receiving reports about what was happening with the troops behind, they immediately increased their firepower in the frontline, giving everything they'd got to break through the central plaza's defense!
They were merely two hundred meters away from the Warp Portal!
There were over thousands of Tier 5 players blocking them in front and there were nothing but flat areas in the plaza. Every push and every step they took was increasingly difficult. The two-hundred-meter distance from the Warp Portal felt almost like a thousand miles away to the horizon.
"My brothers!"
"Let's keep up the pace and send every single one of these Angel Faction cunts back to their pussy land!"
"March!!!!"
After enduring such pressure from the usually pushover Angel Faction, many tough guys in the Demon Faction had vexes of rage burning and smouldering inside them, fuelling their battle spirits.
"Oh, these motherfucking bastards! Just wait! Brothers, let's neuter that Netherclaw!"
As the Pyromancer finished his words, a powerful wave of Magic Attacks suddenly fumed towards him!
"Arghh!!"
The poor Pyromancer had died before he even got the chance to lift his finger...
As for Netherclaw, he didn't even glance at the man.
There were too many overreaching snobs in this world like him. He didn't have time to amuse every one of them.
Besides, there were Dark Dragon, Snowmelt and eighty other powerful Tier 5 Field Commanders with him. And these kids thought they could get to his neck by simply rallying up a few "brothers"? What a joke!
"Everyone, get ready!"
"We'll reactivate our Defense Magic in ten... nine... eight..."
Suddenly a familiar voice rung in the "Commander" Chat Channel of the Angel Faction.
It was Qin Ruo, as calm as always.
Netherclaw Snowmelt and Dark Dragon gave each other a look.
"It's finally started!"
Without hesitation, the three of them immediately flew out while ordering others to take their places. In a blink of an eye, they flew out of the frontline and deactivated their Magic Barriers and Shields.
In the meantime, a dozen men were also doing the same too.
The battle raged on as usual. No one suspected anything.
It was common for Elementalists to retreat to the rear to reactivate their Defense Magic and rejuvenate their HP.
The only thing that caught many Demon Faction players eyes was that... all the "celebrities" and MVPs like Netherclaw, Snowmelt and Dark Dragon had retreated from the frontlines at the same time.
A few seconds later...
"Ahhhh!"
"Watch out!!"
"Sneak attacks!"
Suddenly, someone saw an Angel Faction Winged Champion glide towards them from the sky!
The ones who were fighting at the frontlines were all Tier 5 players. After seeing the approaching winged Elementalist, they immediately knew what the enemy was planning. In an instant, they sent their own "Winged Demons" that were stood by in the air to engage him.
They would not allow the Angel Faction to enter their airspace that easily. If these "angels" were to rain down a huge wave of AoE Magic Attacks on them from above, it would be game over for them.
However, as they were about to push back that lone winged Elementalist... suddenly, a familiar looking AoE Magic burst in the air!
Windstorm Annihilation!
A powerful swirling cyclone suddenly materialized in the sky, swirling up everything in its path above the Central Plaza... the Demon Faction players, shocked by what they saw, immediately retaliated with Tier 5 AoE Magic Attacks!
Luckily, there were no players hovering between the attacks; thus, no casualties were sustained when the two magic attacks clashed. Only a shockwave burst out from the two AoE Magic Attacks, completely stripping off the Winged Champions' wings from both factions in the sky.
Yet, as the two Magic Attacks were clashing and swirling in the air, a surge of AoE Magic suddenly hurled out from the Angel Faction, crushing all the Elementalists' Elemental Perception thereby effectively blinding everyone in the vicinity.
The attacks collaborated in perfect sync and instantly stopped the Demon Faction's players' attacks.
No one seemed to notice that the twenty players that vanished from the Angel Faction's frontlines earlier... had suddenly emerged amongst the Demon Faction players' camp, wielding fully charged Magic Attacks in their hands!
In an instant, over twenty powerful surges of Tier 5 AoE Magic Attacks were flung out!
Powerful bursts of light were seen in the Demon Faction camps, almost engulfing the entire frontline!
A carpet bomb of powerful Magic Attacks that were cast by the top players of the Angel Faction swept all their foes in a blinding flash of light.
Excruciating wails and moans were heard everywhere.
No one in the frontline was able to withstand this powerful joint strike! No one! Not the Warriors, the Bowmasters, Priests, or the Summoners... no one! Even some Tier 5 Elementalists' barriers were instantly shattered, resulting in instant death of the occupants inside!
Even though there were still a few survivors on the battlefield, what else could they do? What else could a tiny handful of Elementalists do?
In a fateful moment, the Angel Faction then launched a full scale attack...
"Hurry!"
"Priests! Keep up the pace!"
Having sustained minimal losses in the Five Leagues, Majestic Hero, Netherclaw and the other Veteran Champions instantly flung out all their Teleportation Scrolls and Tier 5 Magic Scrolls that were sitting in their inventory, gaining another thirty meters toward the Warp Portal.
Without their Radiant Priests, the Demon Faction's defense had crumbled, revealing a huge breach before the Angel Faction's advancing forces. With another round of fierce foraging from the Angel Faction, they were able to push through another fifty meters.
This sudden change in the battlefield was like a sharp dagger stabbing right into the hearts of every Demon Faction's players in the plaza...
As they were frantically trying to re-establish their defense, a dark glow suddenly beamed in the middle of the Central Plaza. A surge of Mana was then felt!
Demon Faction players were confused—how was it possible for a Tier 5 AoE Magic Attack to emerge from the Central Plaza... suddenly, a deafening shriek rattled the surroundings.
"Resurrection Portal!!"
"Someone from the Angel Faction is attacking Sin City's Resurrection Portal!"
