The Evernight Army!
The consortium alliance attacked Castle No. 9, but they were defeated without even seeing the Boss. The news spread throughout the Last Lands that day.
The various consortium alliances were almost disbanded after receiving such a blow.
That night, a brand new name quickly spread among the players.
12 PM in the real world was the game's dark time. Usually, the game's dark time was when the players were the most active.
However, when night fell, many players in the Last Lands were attacked by a type of black figure that they had never seen before.
These black figures were similar to the ones the consortiums had encountered in Castle No. 9. They were either humanoid or beast-like.
There weren't many black figures, but their lethality was terrifying when they appeared at night.
Physical attacks couldn't do much damage to them. Not only that, the black figures could constantly teleport in the night, making them very difficult to deal with.
When players were killed by the black figures, the death points they dropped would be absorbed by the black figures.
There weren't many black figures on the first night, but from the second night onwards, the number of black figures increased day by day. After the black figures absorbed the players' death points, they also grew stronger day by day.
In just four days, almost no players dared to go out to kill monsters at night. Leaving the city was a dead end.
Thinking of the King of Evernight's name, the players naturally gave these black figures the nickname of the Evernight Army.
However, the Evernight Army wouldn't approach towns with players. No matter if it was a castle or a town, the Evernight Army wouldn't appear within a three-kilometer radius.
Naturally, the major castles and surrounding satellite towns would be overcrowded at night.
However, the number of satellite towns that players could go to was actually very small.
There was no need to talk about the two castles occupied by the consortiums. Even the people of the consortiums couldn't leave them. Ordinary players would be courting death if they went there.
However, other than the castles occupied by the consortiums, the other castles were occupied by ancient cities.
Among them, Castle No. 5 occupied by Space City, Castle No. 7 occupied by Sky City, and the satellite towns had all been destroyed.
Three satellite towns occupied by Time City were destroyed, leaving only two. One of them was forbidden from entering or approaching by the owner of Time City, but the other one could be freely entered.
Steel City was similar to Time City, but Steel City only destroyed two satellite towns and left three. One for their own use, and the other two could be freely entered.
And the City of War.
War City wasn't like other castles. Not one of its satellite towns was destroyed, but all five of its satellite towns were overcrowded and couldn't accommodate more people.
Finally, there was Castle Nine, but the satellite town there had become a base for the Evernight army. Only those tired of living would go there.
Therefore, there were only a few places that players could go to.
The satellite town that Chen Mo had given to Blood Paladin, Wild Panther Lady, and the others was always packed with people whether it was day or night. Blood Paladin, Wild Panther Lady, and the others were no fools. Naturally, they took the opportunity to make a big profit.
There were only a few satellite towns that could be used. When night fell, the players did not dare to stray too far away. They all huddled up in a small area to farm monsters. The monsters that respawned did not even last for more than a few seconds before they were killed.
As a result, other than a few powerful groups, other players were unable to grind and level up at night. Their leveling speed was greatly reduced.
"We must unite and kill the enemy!"
At this time, the consortium suddenly stood up and issued a call to unite everyone.
"These fellows sure have a good plan."
When Chen Mo heard the news, he couldn't help but smile.
Anyone with a bit of intelligence could guess what the consortium was planning.
The consortium clearly hadn't given up on Castle Nine and wanted to use this opportunity to encourage the players to unite and kill the King of Evernight.
Although this would cause the contribution points to be scattered, as long as they could capture Castle Nine, the consortium would be the biggest beneficiary.
However, things weren't that simple.
The consortium's words sounded nice, but those who could come to the Final Lands weren't fools. It didn't take much to figure out that the consortium wanted to borrow their hands to break the Curse of Evernight, kill the King of Evernight, and capture Castle Nine.
The consortium could obtain great benefits by capturing Castle Nine, but not only would they not get any benefits, they would also end their journey in the Final Lands at any time.
They had just started, so how could they be willing to let someone else get all the benefits? The consortium could forget about getting them to help for free.
Therefore, the consortium's words sounded nice, and there were many people who agreed with them. However, when the consortium said that they wanted to unite forces to deal with the Evernight army, there weren't many people who responded.
But to Chen Mo's surprise, in just four days, the consortium had used some kind of special method and managed to gather a temporary army of 100,000 people at the last moment of the war!
Although most of the people were there to make up the numbers, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel that the consortium was resourceful to be able to gather such a team in such a short time.
More than 100,000 people marched toward Castle Nine in a grandiose manner.
The march of 100,000 people was indeed magnificent. Although they knew that most of the people were unreliable, with so many companions, the morale of the consortium alliance's players reached the peak. They were very confident in this battle, and many people had already thought of how to deal with the King of Evernight.
However, no one expected that the consortium wouldn't even be able to see the King of Evernight after gathering 100,000 people.
It wasn't that the King of Evernight was too powerful to be able to kill 100,000 people, but something unexpected had appeared.
City of Lightning!
During the march of the 100,000 people, an ancient city that wasn't very big appeared. However, it was covered in silvery-white lightning.
No one told them, but the people who saw the ancient city were all certain that it was the City of Lightning.
Of the Seven Ancient Cities, five had appeared, and one had been destroyed. Even Chen Mo was curious as to where the remaining ancient city had gone. Perhaps it hadn't been discovered yet.
They didn't expect that the Thunder City would suddenly appear. After the Thunder City appeared, it did something that no one could have imagined.
After suddenly appearing and intercepting the large army of 100,000 people, City of Lightning didn't contact the consortium at all. Instead, it directly launched an attack on the 100,000 people below.
There were 100,000 people, but most of them were just side characters.
Under the City of Lightning's violent attacks, many people couldn't even put up a decent resistance and were electrocuted to death by the City of Lightning.
The consortium had spent a lot of effort and financial resources to gather so many people. However, the result this time was even more tragic. Almost half of the people were killed by the City of Lightning that had appeared out of nowhere.
…
The third time was even worse.
