We don't have the strength to defend this city. Don't get yourself into trouble!
A few seconds later, a ringing sound echoed in the air.
"Ding!"
System Announcement: Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" (China) has successfully killed the monarch of Cyan Earth City, Stuart the Seventh, and obtained the King's Scepter. Conquest Mode has been activated. If no other force reclaims the King's Scepter before the end of the Nation War, Cyan Earth City will become a vassal of Sky City. For 90 days, Cyan Earth City's players will not be able to attack any city in the China server. Moreover, as a tribute, 40% of Cyan Earth City's daily income will go to the China server!
…
"Awesome! Conquering Mode is the way to go!" Li Chengfeng clenched his fist and laughed.
I passed the King's Scepter to Xu Yang and said, "Alright, the NPCs of this city are now yours to command. Brother Xu Yang, take a few thousand people with you and stay here to defend Cyan Earth City. The rest of us will head to Burning City!"
Xu Yang nodded. "Hehe, I like this mission!"
I smiled. "I like it too …"
Behind me, Chaos Moon said in a low voice, "Lu Chen, you need to get out of the city as soon as possible. Frost Sword City's 5,000,000 legion is only 5 minutes away from Cyan Earth City, and we don't know why they're here!"
"F * ck!"
I felt as if my heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. Cold Sword City had come so quickly. What did they want?
I led Li Chengfeng, He Yi, Lian Xin, Beiming Xue and the other Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls experts out of the city. By the time we arrived at the outskirts of the city, the grassy plains were already filled with people. The White Horse guild of Cold Sword City had already gathered at the plains outside the city, and their guild leader, -30 Degrees Snowy Night, was staring at us from afar.
"They come with ill intentions …" Li Chengfeng pursed his lips.
I nodded and said in a low voice, "Order everyone to prepare for battle and defend Cyan Earth City to the death!"
He Yi unsheathed her Fire Suppressing Sword, and all the Dragonlight Cavalrymen unsheathed their weapons. Although we were outnumbered, our morale was high, and our weapons and armor were sharp. Even Xue Ye would have to reconsider whether he should attack us or not. We had killed our king and obtained the authority to command the NPC army in the city. We had millions of NPC elites under our command, so we might not necessarily lose to them.
…
Li Chengfeng put his hand on my shoulder and pushed me forward. "You go negotiate …"
"F * ck!"
I took a few steps forward and slowly flew off the ground. I stopped when I was about 10 meters away from Xue Ye and sheathed the Xuan Yuan Sword. I glanced around and saw that many of the White Horse Guild's archers were aiming their arrows at me. Even more mounted players were preparing to charge. Tsk tsk, they really didn't come with good intentions!
"What?"
I smiled and looked at Xue Ye. "Cold Sword City and Iron Horse City have been allies with our China server for generations. What's going on now? Are they going to turn on us?
Xue Ye, you're also a veteran in the game. You should be able to tell right from wrong, right? "
Xue Ye smiled. "Of course I know that. Lu Chen, you're our friend, and the China server is our ally. That's why we swept through Elephant City, Proud Dragon City, and Greedy Wolf City from the south to meet up with China's ally. I'm sure you understand our hospitality."
I pointed with my finger. "Are you putting on a show for me to see?"
"Of course not!"
Xue Ye looked up at the towering Cyan Earth City and said with a smile, "It's just that we have a debt to settle with Cyan Earth City, so … we would like to borrow your path. I hope you won't stop us, Lu Chen!"
"Borrow your path?"
I smiled. "Right now, Cyan Earth City is a subordinate city of the China server, and the NPCs inside will be replaced by our people. Also, I have almost a million brothers guarding this place. Xue Ye, take your people back. Elephant City is yours, and Cyan Earth City is ours. This is a very fair deal."
At this time, a brawny Russian player behind Xue Ye rushed forward with a battle axe in hand. He smiled arrogantly and said, "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, what if we don't give you face?
We are going to invade Cyan Earth City and take it for ourselves. What can you do about it?! "
I unsheathed the Xuanyuan Sword and pointed it at the brawny man. Then, I said slowly, "You can try. If you want to invade Cyan Earth City, you'll have to step over my and my brothers' corpses. I just don't know if you have the ability to do so. The main forces of Cyan Earth City, Elephant City, Hero City, and Burning City were all killed by us China players. I won't say anything if you want to take advantage of the situation and take Cyan Earth City, but don't you know that greed will bring you great harm?!"
The brawny man raised his battle axe. "What, you want to declare war on us?"
I gritted my teeth and raised my arm. A blood-red chain immediately wrapped around the brawny man's neck. At the same time, I gathered energy in my left fist and punched him in the chest with Universe Break!
"Bang!"
“1712671！”
I punched the man with my bare hands, forcing him to retreat several steps. He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.
I plunged the Xuanyuan Sword into the ground and shouted, "The China server has never feared anyone. We believe that Cold Sword City and Iron Horse City are our allies, so please respect us. Otherwise, the China server will not be afraid to fight you. If we can take down Cyan Earth City, Burning City, and Hot Sand City, we can raze Cold Sword City and Iron Horse City to the ground!"
Xue Ye hurriedly stretched out a hand and said with a smile, "Calm down, Lu Chen. My subordinate doesn't mean that. Since … since you've said this, we won't say anything else as allies. However, if the Russian server sends troops to attack Purple Grape City, I hope that you won't interfere …"
I nodded. "Yes, I will. Now, Xue Ye, please withdraw your troops!"
"Alright …"
Xue Ye raised his arm. "Retreat to Cold Plains and attack the other three cities!"
… …
I let out a sigh of relief as the Russian players retreated like the tide. Behind me, Li Chengfeng said with a smile, "And here I thought that Lu Chen was going to use diplomacy to convince them. Fuck, so you're going to rely on the Xuanyuan Sword …"
He Yi giggled. "No matter how good your mouth is, you still need to have a sharp sword in your hand to have the confidence to speak!"
I turned around and said, "Alright, leave a group of people behind and bring the rest to Burning City!"
Li Chengfeng frowned a little before saying, "Lu Chen, why don't you let everyone rest for a while? We've been attacking cities for 27 hours straight, and most of them don't even have the time to pee. There are still 11 hours left until the Nation War ends, so why don't we let everyone rest for 6 hours?"
I clenched my fists. "It's not that I don't want to let everyone rest, but I'm worried that something might happen during these 6 hours. Vienna's Sorrow and his men are still lying in ambush, and I don't know when they'll make their move!"
He Yi said, "Why don't we keep Xu Yang and Du Thirteen online and keep an eye on the situation? If anything happens, notify the offline players to come back online immediately. Lu Chen, you should take a break as well. If you're online for too long, you'll experience a delay. Don't run into Vienna's Sorrow and get one-shot …"
"Alright …" I shrugged and smiled. "Let's go to Burning City and log out after that!"
"Mn!"
… …
Almost 200k players galloped toward Burning City. By the time we reached it, the Bai Ze War Chariots had already stopped bombarding the city walls. Small groups of players were climbing the walls, and Tear Stain had also disappeared from the top of the walls. If I guessed correctly, she had logged out as well. Sometimes, men could stay online longer than women, and it had to do with their physiological functions.
We set up our tents and logged out of the game one after another. Blazing Hot Lips had done the same, and we agreed to rest for 5 hours before the Nation War ended. It was time for the final battle!
I logged out of the game, took off my helmet and ran to the bathroom. I nearly suffocated to death.
… …
I wrapped myself in a towel after I took a shower, and water dripped down my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror and suddenly felt like I had aged a lot. My eyes were dimming, and I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck!
"Ah …"
I covered my neck with my hands, and I felt like the veins in my neck were about to burst. My entire body was in excruciating pain, and I slumped against the sink. It took me a long time to get to my feet and open my palm, only to find a trickle of black blood in my palm.
I felt like I had been struck by lightning. Had it finally come?
I pulled out a napkin and quickly wiped the blood off my neck. Not much of the purplish-black blood had flowed out, so maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. However, I could see the veins bulging under my skin. I stared at myself in the mirror with deep sorrow in my eyes and punched the sink.
… …
I walked out of the bathroom and put on my clothes. I took out a scarf from my suitcase and wrapped it around my neck. I couldn't let the girls see what I looked like. At the same time, I sent a message to Lin Yujia: "Yujia, have you delivered my blood sample to Nanjing yet?"
Lin Yujia replied quickly: "Yeah, they're still analyzing the virus's structure. Lu Chen, are we really going to hide this from Eve and Sister Mingyue forever?
It's so unfair to them. "
"It's fine. Let me know immediately if there's any new news.
My condition isn't very stable right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to live past the end of the month if they develop an inhibitor as soon as possible. "
"Okay …"
… …
I straightened my clothes and scarf, wiped the blood off my hands and walked out of the room.
Inside the living room, He Yi, who was busy arranging dishes on the table, looked up at me and said with a smile, "You must be very tired. Eat more and take a nap."
"Mn, got it …"
I sat down and Xinran suddenly reached out to touch my cheek. She stared at me with her dark eyes and said, "Big bro, why do I feel like something's wrong with you …"
"What's wrong?" I pulled her hand away from me. "Isn't this normal?
Xinran, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner … "
"Okay …"
… …
I ate dinner with the girls and went to bed. Not long after I fell asleep, my phone suddenly rang. It was Gui Guzi's voice.
"Little Gui, did Hero City and Chariot City send reinforcements to Burning City together?" I asked.
Gui Guzi exclaimed in shock, "Holy shit, how did you predict this, Boss Broken Halberd?!!"
… …
Ahem, this is the last part of the book. I'll be done in 30 chapters at most, and Ye is exhausted from writing it. Starting from the 20th, the last month of the book will be changed to one chapter per chapter. Peerless should be done around 2.15, and the new book will be released around 3.1. Thank you for your support, everyone. Ye has finally gotten a break after two years of hard work ~ ~
