《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 573. The Invisible Enemy
Advertisement
“This isn’t good! They have helpers!” Wild Thunderheart panicked as he shouted, “Hurry up and defend the east! Do not let them get away!”
The east side would be towards the city. Currently, the majority of players were either in the resurrection point, Ironcliff Fortress or in the forest. The defence on the entrance was extremely weak and if this bunch managed to get out from there, the route to the teleportation array would be a smooth one. If that happens, they can forget about catching them anytime soon.
Upon receiving Wild Thunderheart’s orders, everyone headed towards the east of the forest.
When Fearless saw Wild Thunderheart and his men leaving, Fearless told the players on the tree, “Change position! Go to the north!”
The north was the side closest to Official Road and it was also the rear of the two guilds. United Alliance and Berserk Heavenlaw had completed their search there so that was their blind spot at the moment.
After the change in position was done, Wild Thunderheart brought his troops and met up with the team 3 situated at the east side.
At this point, the team was in a mess. Everyone looked lost but it seemed like there were not many deaths or injuires…
“Heavenly Thunder, where are they? Have you killed them all?” After Wild Thunderheart arrived and looking at the current situation, he hurriedly asked the team leader of these three teams, Berserk Heavenly Thunder.
Berserk Heavenly Thunder said in an embarrassed tone, “No… No we haven’t.”
“So where are they?” Wild Thunderheart asked again.
“I have no idea…” Berserk Heavenly Thunder whispered.
“No idea?” Wild Thunderheart was shocked. How can they not know where their enemies were? Could it be the same as the previous wave?
“How many of them are there?”
“No idea…” Berserk Heavenly Thunder’s voice was at an all time low…
“You don’t even know the numbers?” Wild Thunderheart was infuriated as he asked one last time, “How do they look like?”

“No idea…” Berserk Heavenly Thunder dared not raise his head as he spoke.
“F*ck! What have you been doing…” Wild Thunderheart finally gave up. This fella was truly too incapable to not know anything after getting beaten up so badly.
Berserk Heavenly Thunder said, “All we know is that they are Assassins… I am not sure how many there are but they managed to kill four of our brothers in the dark… We didn’t even spot any of them.”
“Didn’t even spot any of them? How is this possible?” Wild Thunderheart was incomparably shocked. Killing four people at one go without being spotted in the presence of so many players. This was way too strange… If it wasn’t for the witness of the other players, Wild Thunderheart might even suspect that Berserk Heavenly Thunder was lying.
At this moment, Wild Thunderheart received yet another message saying that the team 4 at the mountain walls was ambushed…
The situation was exactly the same as team 3. Some of them were killed without knowing how the opponent did it. The leader of the team 4 was equally as clueless as Berserk Heavenly Thunder…
“Could there be a large ambush planted in the forest?” Berserk Heavenly Thunder asked.
Logically speaking, the Quan Zhen Sect only had eleven people to deal with over a thousand enemies so they naturally could only hide. It didn’t make sense for them to fight back openly. Now that they were on the receiving ends of several ambushs, it was highly possible that they had reinforcements in the forest. To be able to hide so many reinforcements without getting spotted by so many of them… The Quan Zhen Sect was truly capable.
“This is not possible! If they could hide so many players, it isn’t possible that we cannot spot a single person at all.” Wild Thunderheart pondered as his eyes suddenly lit up, “F*ck! We were lured out of the mountains like tigers! Let’s hurry back to where the first team was ambushed!”

As he said that, he brought two teams back to where they came from. The team arrived at where Quan Zhen Sect was hiding… Team 5 sent a message, “We have been ambushed.”
“How many dead?” Wild Thunderheart asked worriedly. If only a few of them died, Wild Thunderheart could confirm that Quan Zhen Sect were merely harrassing them.
The leader replied, “We were all obliterate?”
“All obliterated?” Wild Thunderheart exclaimed, “How many opponent?”
“No idea…”
“…”
Wild Thunderheart was not the only one as everyone from the Berserk Heavenlaw fell into deep thoughts… In just a blink of an eye, two teams were gone and none of them managed to spot a single opponent. Could they be fighting a war against ghosts?
Wild Thunderheart paused for a moment before saying, “Everyone gather at 11458.2146. Do not wander off anymore…”
Wild Thunderheart finally understood the seriousness of this issue. The enemy’s firepower exceeded his expectations and was, in fact, capable of exterminating hundred players at one go. Moreover, the enemies were extremely passive and incredibly good at hiding.
If they had advantage in numbers, the enemy would threaten the east and strike the west. If they had a disadvantage in numbers, the enemy could wipe them out easily… They were definitely not going to last long if they continued fighting in this manner. To deal with enemies like this, sticking together was the only way.
After having two teams wiped out by the Quan Zhen Sect, Berserk Heavenlaw had less than five hundred players even left.
While Ming Du and Spring Halo’s firepowers were unimaginably strong, killing one hundred at one go was already their limit. It was impossible to deal with five hundred players.
Fearless seemed to have guessed that Wild Thunderheart might change his fighting style. Therefore, after this, he was no longer harrassing Berserk Heavenlaw. Instead, he brought the Quan Zhen Sect to a corner as they looked at the players from United Alliance.
United Alliance’s leader was Hidden Lurker and Hidden Lurker was well aware of the Quan Zhen Sect’s despicableness. On their way up, they were extremely thorough in their search on shrubs, trees, bushes… They were thorough when searching through every possible hideout.
Those who knew how to climb a tree could still hide properly from such a search. Those who couldn’t were basically unable to hide from United Alliance’s thorough search.
Fearless scratched his chin when he saw how thorough the United Alliance was searching.
“Old Fish, Frost Blade, both of you come to 22657.33214 to harrass United Alliance.”
“Old Bull, go to 11458.21456 to lure Berserk Heavenlaw. Three minutes later, bring the two groups of players to gather at 22657.33214.”
“What about us?” Ming Du asked.
Fearless chuckled, “We shall wait and watch. Afterwards, we shall let them fight each other.”
…
On the way up, Hidden Lurker appeared satisfied when he heard that Berserk Heavenlaw suffered multiple ambushes by the Quan Zhen Sect while there was no attacks on his men. It seemed likle his cautiousness paid off.
When Mercy Hand heard that Berserk Heavenlaw had lost over two hundred men, his heart was in fear… Fortunately, he didn’t fight to enter the forest first. If even Berserk Heavenlaw suffered such great losses, United Alliance would definitely have it much worse. When he thought of the time he was ambushed by the Quan Zhen Sect, Mercy Hand’s fear of the Quan Zhen Sect increased several folds.
“Boss Hidden Lurker, who are these people from Quan Zhen Sect? They clearly only have over ten members… Could it be that they have men in Thunderstorm City?”
Mercy Hand’s thinking was the same as Berserk Heavenly Thunder and many others. The difference in numbers was so significant that it was better for the Quan Zhen Sect to hide and await their deaths. Fighting back was evidently unexpected.
Hidden Lurker sighed, “They are a bunch of mad dogs who will always fight until their deathbeds. Naturally, there aren’t many of such beasts around.”

Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ Sequel found here. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26444/rehammer-the-hammering
