Chapter 248 -240: The Top Ten Knights’ Odyssey Siege
And then Black Storm saw a group of burly rabbits jump down, clad in black suits, with black sunglasses, and towering over two meters tall, their suits so tight they looked like bodysuits. After a series of loud thuds, a large group of rabbits wearing black suits, sunglasses, and hefty leather shoes could be seen approaching from the end of the street, an intimidating spectacle…
Black Storm was so frightened he almost unleashed a tornado.
But soon after, he saw one of the black rabbits kick another rabbit by the side, laughing and cursing, “Behave yourselves! You represent the image of Level 1 Newbie Village and the Confucian Sect. Be more refined, don’t act like damn rabbits who have never seen the world!”
Then those rabbits became much more behaved, but in all their restraint, as they walked, they swayed their arms and strode along, shaking about like a gang of hoodlums!
The only relief for Black Storm was that although these guys didn’t look like anything good, they did pay up when they bought things!
But the way they paid made Black Storm’s teeth hurt.
They spent money like damn tycoons, for a candy apple worth three copper coins they handed over three Gold Coins!
For a pinwheel that cost one copper coin, they’d throw a big Gold Coin and then just leave without looking back, acting as if they didn’t have a single copper coin on them!
Watching this made Black Storm so envious he occasionally muttered, “Fools… Did each of them just rob a bank? So wealthy.”
Being wealthy was one thing, but the things these rabbits did were incredibly annoying.
Some rabbits bought lamb stew and then squatted at the entrance of the lamb pens to eat, while eating they would say to the sheep, “Your son tastes really good.”
“Your wife is truly delicious.”
“Your husband smells pretty strong!”
…
Other rabbits, after buying belt noodles, didn’t eat inside the shop but squatted on the curb, their slurping sounds audible from over a hundred meters away, as if they were afraid others wouldn’t know they were eating noodles.
Restaurants were directly taken over by the rabbits, some stepped on stools to drink, others squatted on tables to pick up food, or lied on them pouring food all over themselves, indulging in “rabbit body feasting”! And when someone pinched their peepees, they would chase after people and hit them all over, resulting in vegetables scattered everywhere, pure chaos.
At that moment, Black Storm saw several rabbits rushing toward him pulling a carriage, while the horses and the coachman originally responsible for pulling it were sitting on the carriage; right then, both the horses and the coachman on the carriage were nearly crying from the terrifyingly wild ride.
Black Storm replied with a complicated expression, “How should I put it? Well… it’s alright, I guess.”
“Alright? Are you saying it’s okay or not okay? Don’t force yourself now; if you need help, my men will rush over immediately!” convinced that Black Storm was already in a fight with the Eastern Expedition Crusade, Xun Long cursed Black Storm for being so stubborn at this time, while expressing his concern.
Black Storm looked bewildered and thought to himself, what for you to come over? To squat on the street curb with me and watch these nouveau riche rabbits flaunting their wealth? To get jealous together?
So Black Storm replied, “No problem, you don’t need to come over; I can handle these fools.”
Xun Long was shocked. The coalition of ten western nations consisted of elite forces, and while the West didn’t have a large population, they weren’t short of manpower either! The key was that with fewer people and more monsters, they could Upgrade faster. They didn’t have Rabbit troubles, so they were bound to have higher Levels and better Equipment!
And yet Black Storm, with only his one city, a big gang, and some subsidiary small gangs, was holding his ground?
Xun Long said, “It seems I underestimated him. That Black truly can fight!”
Still, Xun Long couldn’t help but ask, “You sure you’re okay? Black, if they’re holding you hostage, just send me a few dots, or compliment my looks, that works too!”
Black Storm scratched his head, looking at the message in his hand, and muttered, “Is this fool insane? Those rabbits aren’t laying siege; what’s he rambling about?”
Then Black Storm replied, “Beat it! Besides, didn’t you say you sent all the rabbits abroad? Are you sure about that?”
Xun Long glanced at his own name, which was pitch black, and nodded with conviction, “Sure, very sure! I should know where my own Subdivine Artifact is, right?”
Though he said that, Xun Long felt miserable inside; he really had no clue where that thing had flown off to, as its location only became apparent to him when it declared war…
What Xun Long didn’t know was that just as he logged off a moment ago, the Artifact had declared war on White Tiger City once more, and he had missed the vital system notification by a whisker.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be having such an off-topic conversation with Black Storm.
Although Black Storm wasn’t all too familiar with the strength of these rabbits, through his investigations, he knew that the taller the rabbit grew, the stronger it became; the more muscles they had, the stronger they became; the more Equipment they wore, the stronger they became.
The Spartans before had left a terrifying impression on him, and now, with these rabbits sporting suits and sunglasses, it looked like they’d quit being soldiers and were now playing gangsters instead. He dared not provoke them any further.
He was deathly afraid that Xun Long would come over and provoke these rabbits, and at that point, they might just start fighting directly in White Tiger City, and the unlucky one would still be him.
So, he went to great lengths to stop Xun Long from coming.
Xun Long was fended off, and then Xu Tiecheng, Madam Xunyang, and others also sent messages via Flying Pigeon Transmission.

These people all said the same thing, starting with: “Old Black, everything’s okay over there, right? The city is still there, right?”
Black Storm almost rolled his eyes at this, for heaven’s sake, this was his main base, and it had been so long since the Martial Arts Tournament. He and his subordinates had traded their old muskets for cannons, their strength had greatly increased. Even if they couldn’t beat those rabbits, they wouldn’t be destroyed right at the start, right? And asking if the city was still there?
That was just too insulting.
Black Storm replied to each one: “Yes yes yes yes, everything’s in place!”
Just then, a rabbit came over and stuffed a Gold Coin into Black Storm’s arm; the pigeon that Black Storm hadn’t yet had time to read the letter from was snatched away by that rabbit, who walked away shouting: “Roast this one, roast this one!”
Black Storm, looking at the letter on his thigh, could vaguely see it was from Kuku, so he replied: “Kuku, what did you say? I didn’t see it; your pigeon got snatched away and is being roasted…”
“Wah! My poor pigeon…” In a large city, Kuku cried out to the heavens as the sound of suonas rang out behind him, and handfuls of Paper Money were thrown into the sky… the mourning procession was put to immediate use.
…
While Black Storm was doing his best to stop everyone from coming and provoking the rabbits, a dull sound of a horn came from another direction.
Black Storm, hearing it, immediately flew into the air, looking into the distance. His pupils dilated with shock!
He saw a ramshackle big ship appearing in the sky, heading straight for White Tiger City.
On the big ship, many figures could be faintly seen, and with the fluttering of the sails, a blue and white Cross flag danced in the wind.
“Who goes there?” A player named Gou Bujiao jumped onto the city wall and asked.
Someone from the big ship walked out to the bow; this person, clad in golden Armor, shimmered with a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. He crossed his arms, lifted his head proudly, and declared aloud, “Huaxia people, I am from the Western Region’s Allied Forces, the Eastern Expedition Crusade, one of the ten Knights, the Golden Lion, Odyssey! Remember my name, for I shall be the first Western player to destroy your Main City!”
Black Storm was listening to that whole series of titles when he suddenly heard the other guy wanted to destroy his Main City. He instantly became upset, thinking, “How dare you, Fool! I thought you were here to give a congratulatory gift, but you’re actually here to invade!”
Then Black Storm suddenly realized that what Xun Long and the others were referring to weren’t rabbits, but these guys!
Just as Black Storm was about to make a move to contact Xun Long and others for immediate support, he suddenly noticed the city full of rabbits, and a thought crossed his mind. His mouth twisted into a wry smile, and he flew up to the city wall and said, “Odyssey, one of the ten Knights, right? You can attack the city, but can you wait a bit?”
Odyssey sneered, saying, “Huaxia person, do you think I am a foolish Evil Horse Islander? Your tricks won’t work on me! You’re probably using the delaying tactic from the Thirty-Six Stratagems, right?”
Black Storm was dumbfounded. He turned to Gou Bujiao and said, “Gou Bujiao, don’t fool me; I haven’t read much. I’ve never heard of any delaying tactic; I only know about the Empty Fortress Strategy from the Three Kingdoms, the strategy of fleeing as the best option, and the Beauty Trap, which I most wish someone would use on me.
What in the devil is a delaying tactic?”
Gou Bujiao shook his head: “There’s no delaying tactic in the Thirty-Six Stratagems; that guy is just illiterate.”
“Audacious Madman, dare you insult a Knight?! The honor of the Odyssey family cannot be tarnished by you!” Odyssey erupted in anger.
Black Storm was taken aback: “When did I insult you? Even with my primary school diploma, I know there’s no ‘delaying tactic’ in the Thirty-Six Stratagems. To be blabbering about a delaying tactic… aren’t you the illiterate one?”
Odyssey’s face turned red as he retorted: “That’s not what I meant… you… you just said ‘dog doesn’t bark’! Dog doesn’t bark implies you want me to shut up, doesn’t it? I have studied classical Chinese text!”
Black Storm could see now; this foreigner had all the typical traits of foreigners, which was to brag about being the best in the world after learning just a smattering, completely clueless about modesty!
Black Storm glanced at Gou Bujiao with a headache, asking, “What do I… How am I supposed to explain this to him? Don’t look at me; I’m uneducated and can’t explain it clearly, you explain.”
Gou Bujiao replied, “Mr. Odyssey, my name is Gou Bujiao.”
Odyssey grew even angrier: “So it was you insulting me!”
Gou Bujiao looked astonished: “I said my name is Gou Bujiao, ‘meticulous’ as in diligent and ‘teach’ as in teaching.”
Odyssey shouted angrily: “I know! Meticulous means a dog without hair. Not only did you call me a bald dog and tell me not to bark, but now you want me to call you uncle? This is preposterous!”
Black Storm grimaced, “Oh, come on, his cultural level is even lower than mine. And he still came up with a proverb… Alright, Gou Bujiao, stop talking to him, I’ll handle it.”
