In the dream, as I stepped on the corpses of countless noobs and laughed maniacally, I suddenly felt a chill on my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw traces of rainwater on the window glass. The rainwater poured in through the gaps of the window and landed on my face. It was a pipe dream. The life of killing noobs was really something to look forward to.
I looked at the time. It was past 3 pm. I immediately woke up and woke up!
There was a note on the table. Qin Yun's delicate handwriting said: "The food is in the fridge. You can eat it after heating it up. Xiangxiang and I are going online."
I opened the fridge. As expected, it was my favorite dish, the second signature dish of Sweet Spring Dreams, Spicy Donkey Meat.
After heating it up, I opened a bottle of beer and opened the windows. Even though it was raining, a gust of hot wind still blew in. I drank the beer, ate the donkey meat, and enjoyed the rain. Countless umbrellas appeared on the streets. I couldn't see the people under the umbrellas, but I could see white legs and white dresses. It was a beautiful sight.
"Life is so happy."
I smiled and chewed on the donkey meat. I thought about Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and Bing Cha. I didn't know if they had the time to think about me right now. Probably not. They were probably busy grinding or PvP.
I wiped my mouth after eating and went online!
Swhoosh!
After I appeared in White Cloud City, I didn't care about anything else. The first thing I did was to rush to the auction house and sell off the equipment I had gotten from the Fierce Tiger City players I had killed in the wee hours of the morning. These players were the cream of the crop of Fierce Tiger City's elite players, so naturally, their equipment wasn't too shabby either. Every piece of equipment sold for an average of 200 RMB could be sold for 80,000 RMB, which was equivalent to my daily income from the King's City.
A few minutes later, Ling Xue pulled me into the party. Snow Moon, Yun Cha, and the other girls were all there.
"What's going on?" I asked. "Are we doing a quest or something?"
Ling Xue smiled. "Something big happened!"
"What is it?"
"An Ding County has been massacred!"
"What?"
I was shocked. "That's impossible! Seven-star Lamp and the others should have returned to the An County around eight o 'clock in the morning. How could they have been massacred?"
Ling Xue replied angrily, "Soul Battle Robes wreaked havoc in Dawnlight City, and they only managed to return with 200,000 players. However, Fierce Tiger City sent many more high-level players, and their total number exceeded 2,000,000. Soul Battle Robes, including Seven-star Lamp, Han Xin, and Flying Sword, were all massacred multiple times. Millions of players surrounded Peace County and killed all the NPCs there. Peace County returned to its original state after one night."
I was so angry that I couldn't close my mouth. "There's such a thing?
Wouldn't the Seven-star Lamp be furious?
Heh … "
"The Seven-star Lamp is really angry!
They've already sent us an invitation to Snow Moon, hoping that we can march into the Peace County and help Soul Battle Robes reclaim the county from the hands of Fierce Tiger City … "
I couldn't help but laugh. "Where's Seven-star Lamp right now?
What's he doing? "
Ling Xue giggled. "This is interesting. Soul Battle Robes is the ruler of the Peace County, but the Indian players have taken over the county and prevented them from getting close. As a result, Seven-star Lamp and hundreds of thousands of Soul Battle Robes players could only watch from the sidelines. He didn't dare to continue fighting because many of them had dropped below Level 250. If he continued, all of their equipment would be exposed.
That's why Seven-star Lamp sent a request for reinforcements to Snow Moon, Autumn Rain, Thousand Years of Achievement, Proud Alliance, Temple of the Moon, and so on. His words were sincere, and they were close to begging … "
"Hehe, that's the real Seven-star Lamp!
A real man is one who knows when to bow and submit. The only reason Seven-star Lamp is willing to humbly ask for reinforcements is because he wants to reclaim the Peace County. Without the Peace County, Seven-star Lamp can't afford to support people like Han Xin, Qin Empire, and Flying Sword. "
"Mn!
Should we reinforce the Peace County then? "Ling Xue asked.
I thought for a moment before asking for everyone's opinion. "What do you guys think?
Should Snow Moon send reinforcements to the Peace County and Soul Battle Robes? "
Qin Yun said, "No one can make up their mind, so it's up to you to decide."
Summer said, "If we don't send reinforcements, we'll just let that idiot Seven-star Lamp run his own course. Look at how arrogant he used to be. He's as arrogant as the second young master of a rich family."
Zi Yue also said, "Yeah, it'd be best if Seven-star Lamp is destroyed!"
Falling Rain Soundless giggled. "Zi Yue and Summer hate Soul Battle Robes so much!
Fine, I won't send reinforcements. Let Seven-star Lamp run its own course! "
I couldn't help but smile. "What do you think, Xiangxiang?"
Chrysanthemum Daohana smiled gently. "I'll listen to big bro. If big bro wants to fight, I'll fight, and if big bro wants to run, I'll run …"
"Good girl!" I praised.
Ling Xue burst into laughter. "Enough with the nonsense. Are you going to send reinforcements or not?"
Bing Cha said, "Yeah, if you have the time to tease a girl, you might as well make a quick decision."
Therefore, I said sincerely, "From an enemy's point of view, we shouldn't send reinforcements. Let Seven-star Lamp's Soul Battle Robes dry up in the Peace Prefecture.
However, this is just a temporary pleasure. Think about it, if Fierce Tiger City successfully besieged the Peace Prefecture, China's southwest gate will be wide open. Fierce Tiger City can send troops to attack our Sky Water Prefecture and Apple Prefecture at any time. At that time, Snow Moon will be our first target. It'll be a huge loss. "
I smiled meaningfully. "Do you know why America was able to make a fortune during World War I and World War II?"
"No!" the girls answered confidently.
I smiled. "That's because the Americans are very smart. No matter what happens in the world, they won't involve their country in a war. Think about it, when the Japanese ambushed Pearl Harbor, it hit America's sore spot. That's why they dropped the atomic bomb. Otherwise, the Americans would be happy to see the world's major powers fight each other!
Our situation right now is the same. If we lose Peace Prefecture, we'll have to talk to Fierce Tiger City directly. No matter what, it's a very wise idea to not let the flames of war spread to our own cities. "
Ling Yue was speechless. "You're playing it safe, aren't you?"
"It's not playing it safe. It's a strategy in a world of war. All interests should be measured by profit."
"A person like you should go into business!"
"When I quit the game, I'll focus on business. Don't worry …"
"Mn!"
Ling Xue said, "Then it's decided. Snow Moon will send reinforcements to the Peace Prefecture?"
"Yes!
Ling Xue, Ling Yue, Bing Cha, the three of you can start gathering troops now. I'll send a system announcement to announce Snow Moon's attitude. "
"What attitude?"
"The attitude of a benevolent teacher. Show it to all the players in the world!"
"OMG, it's this trick again …"
"It's not a trick, it's the way of the king …"
"..."
And so I spent 5000 RMB to write a message. Soon, a system announcement reverberated in the sky above White Cloud City —
Ding ~!
System Announcement (Player Frivolous Scholar Shout): Heroes of White Cloud City, please take note. The Peace Prefecture in the southwest of China has been attacked by Fierce Tiger City. Right now, the army of tigers and wolves from Fierce Tiger City is besieging the city. We cannot sit idly by and watch a county fall, so Snow Moon will send reinforcements to the Peace Prefecture without hesitation. We hope that heroes of White Cloud City will do their best to protect the land!
… …
Ling Yue walked over from the side and smiled. "What a great use of 'without hesitation'!"
"Heh, gather the troops and get ready to go!"
"Yes, yes, I've already ordered the Twenty-Four Iron Cavalry to gather the guild members. We can depart in half an hour at most!"
"Alright!"
I looked at the guild. Bing Zhiyi, Fleeting Time, and the other experts were all there. Very good. Last night, they didn't dare to fight the Barbaric Throne army because they didn't have the Dragon Knight to suppress them in the air. Today, Snow Moon's top experts had gathered. There was no need to worry about them at all.
Not long after, the Snow Moon players teleported to Apple Prefecture. It was faster to get to the Peace Prefecture from here. The plains outside Apple Prefecture were filled with players.
The Shadow Follower walked over with a smile. "The Yinyao Iron Cavalry's online rate is really high. These bastards don't sleep at all. Now that 97% of the Yinyao Iron Cavalry is online, it won't be a problem to gather ten thousand of them!"
I couldn't help but smile. "That's a good thing. The Yinyao Iron Cavalry isn't a problem at all. The only thing they lack is actual combat experience. If there's a battle, then let them participate. There's no need to think too much. Let's turn them into an invincible force of steel!"
"Mn mn!"
I looked up and saw the Amethyst Dragon, Snow Silver Dragon, Two-headed Dark Dragon, and Blue Dragon circling in the air. The four Dragon Knight girls were ready to depart.
There was also a Dark Dragon. It was Ling Yue's pet, but it was an Immortal Rank pet. Its Attack and Defense were very high during the early stages of the game, but once the player ascended, the pet's strength would be greatly reduced. It wouldn't be a problem to beat a S1 player, but it would be difficult to beat a S3 or Holy Domain player.
Iced Tea's Dragon Turtle, Summer's Slug, and the like were all used for leveling up. In normal fights, they would basically be slashed to death at close range. Alternatively, an Archer's round of shooting could also instantly kill a pet of this level.
The guilds reported their online rate to their superiors, and it wasn't long before Ling Yue reported the number of players from Snow Moon to me. Snow Moon Alliance, Dream of Snow Moon, Mountain Snow, Eternal, and World. These five Rank 5 guilds had sent out a total of 420,000 players. Their online rate was very high because one of the requirements to recruit people was to ensure that they were online for a certain amount of time. If they could only be online for three to five hours a day, then sorry, the subguilds would have to serve them.
Each of the fifty subguilds had an average of 50,000 players online. Many of the guilds had already risen to Rank 4, and the maximum number of players they could recruit was 80,000. Therefore, the fifty subguilds provided 2.47 million players in one go. Including the people from the main guild, the total number of players was approaching the 3 million mark. The sea of people gathered on the Moonlight Plains was a black mass, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders.
I summoned the Flame Qilin and brought Qin Yun with me. Ling Yue rode on Ling Xue's Amethyst Dragon, making it even more eye-catching. Chrysanthemum Daohana was carried by Bing Cha. Under my command, the three armies of Snow Moon set out for the Order County!
Bing Zhiyi led the ten thousand Yinyao cavalry at the forefront. Smoke and dust billowed into the air, and behind them were the cavalry phalanxes. Each phalanx was made up of five groups of ten thousand people. Their momentum was monstrous, and they covered the mountains and plains as if they were going to trample over Moonlight Forest.
Qin Yun held her staff and turned to look at me. She asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, donkey meat is delicious!"
"Hehe, that's good!"
Snow Moon's army passed through Moonlight Forest. When we were about ten kilometers away from the Order County City, we could already see a large number of Autumn Rain's troops. The two heavyweight guilds were truly powerful after they had merged together. Their numbers were terrifying, and I felt my scalp tingle when I looked at the sea of people behind them. How am I supposed to count them all? What a headache.
Of course, Autumn Rain was also using a centralized system. Solitary Grave and Listening To The Rain From The Window each controlled dozens of subguild leaders. Then, they would send their members to participate in the battle with a single command. This method could effectively control the loyalty of the guild members.
In the distance, a lot of Soul Battle Robes players appeared in the clearing. Many of them looked like they were about to cry. Seven-star Lamp was sitting on the grass with his sword in hand and his hand on Shen Luoyan's thigh. Shen Luoyan was leaning against Seven-star Lamp's chest and comforting something.
I led Qin Yun forward. Behind us, Bing Cha, Ling Xue, Bing Zhiyi, Shadow Follower, and the other leader-level players also followed. On the other side, Solitary Grave and Listening To The Rain From The Window also walked over. Solitary Grave wasn't riding his Wind Dragon. He walked on the ground with steady steps and the air of a general.
Seven-star Lamp hurriedly rose to his feet and welcomed them. He hugged his sword and smiled. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming to reinforce the Order County. Thank you so much!"
Solitary Grave waved his hand. "You're welcome. We're all on the same side!"
I blushed and said, "We're all one family. There's no need to be polite."
Ling Xue stood next to Amethyst Dragon's feet and giggled. "What an interesting conversation. They're really revealing their true feelings …"
We pretended that we didn't hear anything and continued to chat. Then, we started talking about how to take down the Order County. That was when the problem arose. Who would be the main attacker?
After all, sieging a city would cost a lot of manpower. Two million Fierce Tiger City players had camped in the Order County and lowered the city gates. The walls were filled with mages and archers, and they looked like they were waiting to attack. They clearly had nothing to fear. At a time like this, whoever was the main attacker would suffer great losses. Moreover, they wouldn't get any benefits after taking down the city. At most, they would earn a favor from Soul Battle Robes. However, Seven-star Lamp's memory was terrible, and he didn't remember favors.
After a long discussion, we finally decided that Autumn Rain would attack from the north of the Order County, Snow Moon would attack from the south, and the rest of the guilds would attack from the east and west. Everyone would attack together, and there would be no mistakes.
Once the plan was decided, everyone returned to their respective guilds and began to surround the city. It wasn't long before tens of millions of White Cloud City players surrounded the Order County. Solitary Grave unsheathed his sword and gave the order, and the siege began!
… …
In the southern part of the An Ding Prefecture, the Xue Yue knights at the front took out their shields. Behind them, Ling Yue commanded the blacksmiths to set up the catapults. First, we'll use the siege weapons to destroy the city. In any case, the An Ding Prefecture belongs to the Seven Star Lamp, not us. Even if the imperial palace collapses, it has nothing to do with us.
In the end, after a flurry of attacks, the walls were riddled with holes. Countless Fierce Tiger City players died to the Catapults, but there was nothing they could do about it. The Catapults had a range of over a thousand yards, while the players' maximum attack range was less than 100 yards. They could only take the beating.
Perhaps the players in the city couldn't take it any longer. Not long after, the city gates opened, and the players in Fierce Tiger City began their counterattack. A large number of riders swarmed out of the city, and the leader of this group was a rider riding a giant lizard. He wielded the Thunder Dragon Sword, and a Flaming Battle Tiger rode beside him. It was the leader of Fierce Tiger City's number one guild, the Fierce Tiger Alliance, Savage Throne!
