Chapter 307 Fame from a Single Battle
"Damn it, Black Flame is nothing but a mad dog, biting anyone he sees," Blood Spear cursed loudly. "I'll remember this, and I won't let him off the hook if I get the chance."
"President, our healers have died too many times before, and now, after such a long battle, they've exhausted their mana. They can't leave combat to use mana springs to recover, so they can only rely on Mana restoration potions, which are now depleted. If the Darkstar Guild doesn't come soon, we're finished," Lone Courage reported urgently, seeing that the healers had run out of mana.
Blood Spear was well aware that when there were more healers, they could rotate in two groups, with one group recovering mana while the other healed.
The sudden attack by Aether Wing had killed off most of the healers, making it impossible for the remaining ones to keep up with the healing, which would at least double the death toll.
"Damn RogueVortex, if it weren't for him persuading me to block Devouring Serpents, we wouldn't be in this desperate situation," Blood Spear cursed RogueVortex, regretting that he had listened to him in the first place.
Had he known Aether Wing was this powerful, with a mad leader like Black Flame, he would have stayed out of the fight. Now, he had only brought disaster upon himself.
Without the healers' life restoration, and with Aether Wing still having Frostbite Grenades and other magical scrolls, the gap in combat power between the two sides was even more pronounced.
Supremacy Alliance players were being cut down like wheat, easily harvested by Aether Wing members, dying in droves.
In contrast, Aether Wing's healers were extremely effective, making it hard for their frontline members to die.
This made the death ratio between the two sides increasingly terrifying.
From an initial ratio of 1 to 3, it had now reached 1 to 8, almost 9. In other words, for every Aether Wing member that died, eight to nine Supremacy Alliance members would fall.
Devouring Serpents also had impressive results, with their ratio improving from 1 to 1.2 to around 1 to 3.
"We can't wait any longer. If we keep waiting, even if the Darkstar Guild arrives, we'll be wiped out," Blood Spear said, watching more and more of his people die, from over ten thousand down to just over five thousand. He was furious and heartbroken. He immediately shouted in the guild channel, "Charge with me, let's fight our way out. Escape as many as we can."
With Blood Spear's command, everyone in Supremacy Alliance began to charge desperately, braving the blizzards and other area-of-effect spells from the mages.
This approach only made it easier for Aether Wing and Devouring Serpents to kill them, with fewer losses. However, with over five thousand people making a desperate escape, it was impossible to kill them all.
In less than ten minutes, out of over ten thousand Supremacy Alliance members, fewer than five hundred managed to escape, with the rest all killed.
With such heavy losses, Supremacy Alliance's ambition to dominate Silvervale City was completely shattered.
"The combat power of Guild of Aether Wing is truly impressive. With just over three thousand members, most of them are elite players," Scarlet remarked, gaining a new appreciation for Aether Wing after the victory.
Guild of Aether Wing had a total of just over five thousand members, fewer than an average third-rate guild. But seeing the combat power displayed by over three thousand of their members, it was clear that Aether Wing deserved its reputation as one of the top six guilds, far beyond what other second or third-rate guilds could compare to.
And the destructive power of that Frostbite Grenade was truly overwhelming and shocking!
If not for that, the battle would have cost more and taken longer.
"Isabella, your judgment is as sharp as ever. Guild of Aether Wing is indeed extraordinary," Scarlet said with a smile. "Although a few hundred Supremacy Alliance members escaped, their heavy losses mean they have no chance in the Silvervale City contest. Without Supremacy Alliance as a rival, our Devouring Serpents have a greater chance of becoming the dominant force in Silvervale City."
Isabella rolled her eyes at the smiling Scarlet, who had described her in such a way.
However, Aether Wing's performance had indeed exceeded her expectations.
With over three thousand members, facing the fierce assault of over ten thousand Supremacy Alliance members, Aether Wing had lost just over a thousand, a remarkable achievement.
If not for the intense initial battle, with the most casualties, Aether Wing might have lost only five to six hundred members, while Supremacy Alliance had lost over ten thousand, showing their formidable combat power.
Both sides then began to sort through their spoils.
In addition to the equipment dropped by both sides, the weapons and equipment of over ten thousand Supremacy Alliance members were quite substantial.
In the post-battle distribution, Rosewater and Isabella agreed to an 80-20 split of the total equipment value.
Aether Wing took 20%, while Devouring Serpents took 80%, with Aether Wing's share consisting mainly of Bronze Equipment.
Rosewater's decision was entirely arranged by Eric, partly to thank Devouring Serpents for their help, and partly because they didn't need so much equipment.
Most of the equipment wasn't even Bronze level, and the scarce Dark Iron Equipment was not enough to arm elite members. Eric only wanted some Bronze Level weapons and equipment for new guild members to use temporarily.
After the battle, some spectators uploaded videos of the fight to the official website, causing a sensation in Silvervale City.
No one had expected Guild of Aether Wing to be so fierce, with such a brilliant record, making it one of the rare classic battles in Divine Realms: Legends.
However, many were puzzled by Aether Wing's actions.
Instead of targeting Darkstar Guild, they wiped out Supremacy Alliance, which had only come to support Darkstar Guild. Many posted that Aether Wing was too ruthless.
Eric did not explain, not even to Rosewater, who brought up the matter with a smile.
No one knew that Eric had other motives.
Darkstar Guild had the backing of the powerful Stygian Alliance, while Supremacy Alliance was a first-rate guild with a strong foundation.
If these two guilds joined forces against Aether Wing, even with Devouring Serpents' help, it would severely hinder Aether Wing's development in Silvervale City.
When Eric learned of the alliance between the two guilds, his first thought was to eliminate Supremacy Alliance's influence in Silvervale City.
Although Supremacy Alliance was a first-rate guild, its main power was not in Eldoria, and with many cities in Divine Realms: Legends, their forces were spread thin. In a city like Silvervale City, Supremacy Alliance's investment was limited. However, if they had a real chance to dominate Silvervale City, they would increase their investment, making their presence much stronger and harder to deal with.
In the previous life, Blood Spear was formidable, with the help of top-tier players like Lone Courage, making him a potential ruler of Silvervale City. To secure their position, Supremacy Alliance had increased its manpower and funding, significantly boosting their power, surpassing even Devouring Serpents at the time.
Now that Supremacy Alliance was opposed to Aether Wing, Eric couldn't allow them to grow in Silvervale City, or they would become an even stronger enemy in the future.
This was why Eric, after rejecting Ethan, was immediately targeted for elimination by Ethan.
It wasn't just because Ethan was insidious and ruthless, but because he understood the potential of a guild with a guild base. If not eliminated early, it would become a serious threat.
Eric was doing the same, nipping a future powerful enemy in the bud.
With Supremacy Alliance and Devouring Serpents fighting, and only one exit, such an opportunity was rare, and Eric couldn't let it pass.
Shortly after the battle, FlameDancer and her team finally arrived at the location Eric had specified.
"President, we've reached the place you mentioned. What should we do next?" FlameDancer checked the map to confirm they were in the right spot and asked in the group chat.
