Zhan Long

Night fell, fertile land west of Iron Skull City. This place was used to raise horses, goals and wolves etc but now those animals didn’t exist. What replaced them was a dense crowd. At least ten million people gathered here, among them were many civilians.

But their weapons weren’t as advanced as what Wan Er said. Most of them were holding bread knives and shovels etc. They didn’t have much combat strength at all.

……

“As expected it is an uprising…” Drunken Spear sighed.

I ordered, “Heavy Shield Camp, in formation. If they don’t attack, we definitely won’t either!”

“Yes!” Han Yuan nodded.

A bunch of heavy shield barbarian Royal Army troops spread out. Heaven Barrier Army, Changfeng Army, Autumn Harvest Army also spread out and they linked up with our formation. In comparison to our equipment, the enemy looked like a mess.

“Gu Dong…”

Han Yuan spun his blade and he stared forwards. He turned and looked at me, “Your Highness, are we really going to fight against these defenceless civilians?”

“They have been blinded and have become enemies of the empire. If they decide to continue, treat them as tigers.” I said but felt a little bad. Actually, Han Yuan and I were the same. We wanted to fight strong enemies and not bully such weak commoners.

Our oath before was to fight for the weak so what were we even doing now?”

Suddenly, my heart felt like it was being hit by a fist. But if that was the case, what could we do? I looked at Alliance shatter Tian Ling City and watch my brothers’ hard work all go to waste. No, I couldn’t do that. At this moment, our only choice was to take up the blade.

“Dong dong dong…”

In the distance, the sound of war drums rang out. There were actually troops behind the civilians. Their war drums were rushing the civilian army to strike.

At the front, a leader held a short blade and was wearing tattered leather armor. Veins were popping on his face and he shouted, “Brothers, for our freedom, for equality, attack! We are all born equal, we are never the slaves of these dogs, attack!”

It was unavoidable!

My gaze was cold and I said, “Archers prepare, shoot and hold them back!”

The heavy armored cavalries pulled their bows as the farmer army charged over. At around 100 meters we already fired. Instantly, fresh blood dyed the land. Arrows shot into their bodies and many were injured. But they were mad, most of them still continued to dash forwards even after being hit.

“Is this the power of faith?” Jing Yin stood there stunned. She couldn’t attack these defenceless people at all.

Many of the archers slowed down, they couldn’t do it too.

“Peng peng peng…”

Bodies smashed into the royal army shields. These people were farmers or bakers. They stabbed their bread knives and forks into the armor of the Royal Army troops. Blood splattered. We weren’t willing to kill them but they were trying to kill us.

I bit my teeth and raised my sword. I shouted, “Attack!”

The Royal Army troops at the front raised their blades and sliced off the head of the enemy. Very quickly no one bothered who the enemy was. To them, they were enemies, enemies that could kill them.

Players started to attack too. Li Mu and Wang Jian led Zhan Long’s Furnace God Cavalries forwards and started to cover them in blood.

The gap in strength was huge and in just half an hour, their army collapsed to the china region elites which was only 10% their strength. This large scale quest was hurried and only 2 million players came. Along with the NPC troops there were just 2.5 million. There was a huge numbers disadvantage but we were so much stronger.

Fresh bodies were turned into corpses. When they lost over 10%, many people started to flee. This was what I wanted. Uprising, when more than 10% of them were killed, it was normal for them to collapse.

Right ahead, there was the sound of horse hooves. It was the Beihai City army, around 100 thousand people. The vanguard general held a spear and thrust to kill a deserter. His face was filled with rage and he shouted, “Alliance Manager, Beihai City God Marquis is leading the troops over. Don’t be afraid of the lackeys of the empire, we can obtain victory!”

Hearing his name, many deserts turned around like they were on drugs. They turned and attacked.

This wave, as long as we defeated the army, we won!

“Crush their main force!”

I ordered and used God Form to lead Wan Er and Yue Qing Qian forwards. Royal Army’s main force and Beihai City’s army charged at one another. Li Mu, Wang Jian led Zhan Long’s Furnace God Cavalries from the wings. Q-Sword was on the right and he led the Hero Mound players to charge. The moment we clashed, their army was destined to lose.

As expected, in just 20 minutes, Beihai City’s 100 thousand strong army collapsed. They were just the troops of a secondary city so how could they be our match?

From afar, I saw the God Marquis’s flag. But when we charged over he was gone. We only saw smoke. Han Yuan held his blade and said, “That dogshit God Marquis fled, what should we do. Should we chase?”

“Chase!”

I didn’t think, “Kill this Beihai God Marquis and we would settle this rebellion.”

“Yes!”

……

The plains were a mess. Many Tian Ling City players were chasing the rebels to gain points. Although it was shameless but I didn’t stop them. Let them kill. Although this game was becoming more humane and exquisite, but after all people treated it like a game. Since it was a game then why talk about humanity and ideals?

Tian Ling City’s army chased the defeated troops to the west. They didn’t stop and we didn’t either. Apart from that, there were players from Zhan Long, Hero Mound and Prague. As for Legend and Judgement, they were at the back as they were intercepted by some from American War Region.

This map was new and it was totally different from when I last came to Chiyou Tribe. The most obvious one was the southern border, mountains spawned there and there was a huge barrier. It looked majestic looking out at it.

“West Mountain.”

Yan Zhao Warrior said, “A new map but people didn’t get to head over. Who knew what this Beihai God Marquis is planning?”

I frowned, “I feel like we are being baited, there are definitely ambushing troops.”

Q-Sword smiled, “Xiao Yao you worry too much. The barrier is the max and there is nothing beyond that. Players and NPCs can’t head over!”

“Is that so?” Lin Wan Er frowned and pointed, “Look at what the troops are doing?”

“En?”

Q-Sword looked and noticed that Beihai God Marquis opened a golden scroll and it opened a door in the barrier. His army quickly entered.

“There is a map beyond that?” Q-Sword was shocked.

“What should we do?” Yan Zhao Warrior asked.

“As long as we finish him, we can deal with the rebellion. Why do we think so much?” I smiled, “At most, we can die on this mysterious map.”

Yan Zhao Warrior laughed, “Okay, I think so too, attack!”

Xiao Yao King and The Executor agreed. Smoke billowed. Royal Army, Heaven Barrier Army and Autumn Harvest Army charged into this crack. Who knew what waited for us on the other side? Maybe it would be a challenge? The game was an adventurer. If we didn’t dare to challenge then why were we even playing?

When I rode Mei Er over, my eyes lit up and the surroundings totally changed. The map shone and the name turned into Northern Forest. It was a super huge map.

“Damn!”

Yan Zhao Warrior was shocked, “There really is a map!”

Q-Sword laughed, “Very good, Destiny’s map is being expanded. Seems like we are the first to enter, we are lucky!”

I nodded and looked into the distance. Beihai God Marquis’s 50 thousand defeated troops continued to dash into the distance but the sky was dark. It looked like it was about to rain.

“Chase, wipe out God Marquis Army before it rains.”

“Yes!”

More and more players and NPCs entered the map and formed a majestic scene that covered the land. However, as more entered, a lightning suddenly descended and the ground shook. The barrier behind started to heal!

“What happened?” Yan Zhao Warrior turned around and shouted.

Lin Qiong cupped his fists, “The Executor, a mysterious power is closing the space plane, we are all trapped here!”

“This…” Yan Zhao Warrior was speechless.

I looked at my bag and as expected, the city return scroll was grey. We couldn’t head back here.
