I started by enhancing cancer cells and uniquely obtained the Godhood Sequence.

Ten minutes later.

Sain and the others fled back to their original positions.

but……

The Yalong tank was confiscated.

As the healer treated his injuries, Sain would occasionally glance at the eight wyverns subdued on the city wall, then at the chariots adorned with various gems behind them, his face filled with obvious resentment.

Damn Aomai! She's taking advantage of us because we don't have ranged attacks!

Sain cursed inwardly.

This wasn't a matter of their strength; they were simply being pulled along by the opponent.

Neither the Germanic warriors he led nor the ascetics possessed effective ranged weapons.

Qingmayi took advantage of this, repeatedly pulling on them while flying a kite in the distance.

Honestly, being targeted by a top-tier assassin like this is a terrifying thing.

He was on the verge of death several times just now.

It was only thanks to the ascetic's repeated use of "Suffering for All Beings" that his health was barely kept around the red line, preventing him from dying outright.

The so-called number one in Japan truly lives up to his reputation!

only……

He glanced at the comments in the live stream and his expression darkened further.

The chat in the live stream has completely changed from initially praising their Shining Alliance to now being filled with nothing but compliments for Aomai.

"That's incredible! I take back what I said earlier; she really can take on six people at once!"

"That's not all! Have you forgotten the initial attack? Joshua and Yuna are still hanging on the city walls!"

"Lady Aomai! From this day forward, you are my goddess!"

"Is this what a world-class assassin is? I would call him: the world's number one assassin!"

"It feels like they truly deserved it!"

"No, am I the only one wondering why the top-ranked player varies so much across different regions!?"

"It seems that the overall national strength of the Germanic peoples and the Flying Pancake Kingdom is not weak either. They possess resource-rich holy sites and a number of top-tier experts that rank among the top ten in the world!"

"At first I thought warriors were the counter to assassins, but now it seems that it's the complete opposite."

"It definitely feels like we're being targeted. Ao Mai is too good at maneuvering. It feels like without Joshua and Yuna, two top-tier mages, it's hard for anyone in this team to do anything about her."

"Isn't this unsolvable? The Wall of Bones has already won!?"

"Not necessarily. Don't forget that Shining Knight hasn't even appeared yet. That guy is the Shining Alliance's true trump card."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about him. Wait a minute, hasn't this created a stalemate?"

"..."

The current situation has indeed reached a stalemate.

Lacking effective ranged attacks, the Shining Alliance was unable to launch further offensives against the Bone Wall.

However, it seems that even Qingmayi needs to rely on the suppressive power of the Bone Wall to deal with Sain and his group, not to mention the Shining Knight himself in the Sanctuary.

Neither side has an effective means to remove the other's flag, and the situation is temporarily deadlocked.

"Lord Sain, what should we do now?"

"Kovic asked."

Sain's face darkened. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

First they lost Joshua and Yuna, and then they lost the chariot.

The team does have S-rank, and even SS-rank, mages or archers.

They are only one rank apart, but their strength is worlds apart.

It's not like no mage hasn't tried it yet; it can indeed cause some damage to the city wall, though not much.

With the boost from Joshua, it might be possible to achieve SSS-level output capabilities at the same tier, effectively damaging the city walls.

Even with just the dozen or so ranged players in the team attacking, they probably wouldn't be able to break a hole in the city wall before nightfall, let alone blast open the city gate.

Sain sighed, about to speak, when he heard the ascetic put his hands together in prayer and say:

"My lords, let's make peace."

Sain's face turned pale: "It's not time to negotiate peace yet..."

The ascetic asked, "Sir, is there any way to break the suppression from the city walls?"

Sain fell silent; what could he do?

The murderous aura emanating from the city wall was neither a magic circle nor a skill; it was simply impossible to break through.

Or rather, to suppress the murderous aura emanating from the city walls, one would need an even stronger murderous aura of one's own.

Clearly, neither Sion nor anyone else on the scene possessed this ability.

Just as the ascetic was about to say something, suddenly the figure in blue hemp clothing leaped down from the city wall again and rushed towards them.

"What's this guy up to now?"

Sain narrowed his eyes, looking at the other person suspiciously, and asked, "You're not planning to attack the Temple first, are you?"

If Qingmayi wanted to spare them and directly attack the temple, it wouldn't be impossible for her to do so given the speed of the enemy.

However, the Temple has the Shining Knight inside, and no matter what, the opponent cannot break through his defenses.

If a stalemate occurs, they may be surrounded and attacked from both sides, putting you in a difficult situation.

Kovic quickly realized something was wrong:

"No, she..."

"They're coming towards us!!!"

They saw that the man in blue was rushing straight towards them, without taking any detours.

"She actually dared to do that!?"

Sion gripped his battle axe tightly, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Do they really think we're easy targets?!"

Just now, it was under the city wall that they were unable to move freely, which is why they were constantly being pulled and dragged by the other side, unable to resist.

But as a top-tier warrior, who doesn't have one or two skills similar to a quick charge?

If Qingmayi dares to come, she will be surrounded by six top warriors.

At that time, no matter how fast she is, she won't be able to escape.

But Qingmayi, who was far away, didn't seem to realize this and "crashed" straight toward their group.

"Hiei - Shuraken!"

Aomai threw the shuriken in her hand again.

"F**K! It's that trick again!"

Sain cursed, already having developed a certain psychological aversion to this move.

However, without the suppression from the city wall, and with the shuriken thrown head-on by Qingmayi, dealing with it wasn't too troublesome.

"All warriors, raise your shields!!!"

In just a moment, this hundred-man squad formed a defensive formation with Kovic and Ginter at its core.

The ascetic masters clasped their hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras:

"May all obstacles be removed, and good fortune shine upon you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of Buddhist light descended upon everyone, providing them with a layer of defense.

Of course, it's not just about defense.

It can also prevent some probabilistic attacks.

For example, a player who has the "Lucky Star" ability will reduce the opponent's chance of landing a critical hit.

A 100% critical hit rate could be reduced to 80%, or even 50%.

In the context of large-scale warfare, this would be considered an absolute divine skill.

If Joshua is the mage who provides all-around support, then the Ascetic is somewhat similar to the warrior who provides all-around support.

Having Joshua can increase the output cap of an army.

But the presence of three ascetic masters can raise the survival threshold of an army.
