Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1559: Chapter 137: The Old Age Striking King’s Bone-Crushing Punches

‘Snow Cloud Peak,’ filled with intense doubts, returned to his command platform, which was covered in various protective measures… At least here, no one could enter except those who had a special permission.

Of course, if Hill wanted to listen in, it would be quite easy… When converting his white cloud platform into this mobile command post, ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ specifically made a deal with Lily of the Valley and asked her to move and reside on this platform.

Only in this way could he feel completely at ease.

After all, the Undead Tribe couldn’t violate William’s rules and enter this seemingly empty yet heavily guarded cloud platform, but the native powerhouses of Aesces might not adhere to such restrictions.

What if, after suffering too many losses, the other side decides to allow the Moon Clan to hire someone like a Great Sage or a High-level Assassin?

By that time, it would be too late for defense.

Although ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ believed they wouldn’t be so reckless… their relationship was obviously quite good, and besides, Hill was still watching them closely with his well-informed sources!

If the other side unlocked this permission, who could guarantee that Hill wouldn’t lend them a helping hand?

Mortals might not know, but the All Gods should have some understanding of Hill’s temperament, right?

Though Hill usually doesn’t like to meddle, if he gets into one of his moods, he might even build a cross-sea bridge directly for the Undead Tribe himself!

A stubborn temper, a stubborn temper, who would dare provoke him!

Still, ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ continued his past habit of implementing the best defensive measures he could manage… In these times, you can’t just rely on your enemy being too incompetent, nor can you trust that your enemy will have enough rationality.

A fool, as long as their position is high enough, could turn the battlefield upside down all on their own.

He sat back in his throne, unable to resist making himself a pot of hot tea, then held the cup and slowly drank… Otherwise, he really felt a bit cold.

Women, these creatures, are… truly incredible.

Like Baldy, using busyness to cover his awareness of certain matters and his dissatisfaction with certain people, he could still understand. After all, for someone not professionally trained, the best approach to these situations is to use the facade of seemingly reasonable busyness to avoid direct confrontation and long exposure with the suspect.

But those two women… how do they manage it?

This is what Road Eunuch referred to as… as long as a woman harbors hatred, she can be an actress?

Truly impressive, he felt himself inferior… Hmm… Someone as excellent as him could be just fine without women, right?

‘Perfect Bald’ quickly slipped in, too… After briefing the newcomers, watching them head to the training ground under the morning sun, he then turned and rushed toward the battlefield.

Using the most standard methods, he spent his mana bar and Red-Blue Potion cooldown, and Mr. Bald swiftly hid inside the command platform where certain expressions of his would never be exposed.

He was very clear in his mind, if ‘Ji Lanyuan’ and her allies perceived something off in his expressions, then… hehe~ Old Dog’s harsh scolding would be nothing!

He’s heard it for over a decade.

The time Liu Liu spent scolding him probably doesn’t even add up to half of what Old Dog has given him.

But, if ‘Cunlü’ and ‘Old Age Striking King’ teamed up against him, now that would be truly unbearable.

Really, the two of them could use every sickening trick imaginable on him… even those that one couldn’t imagine.

Baldy never doubted how terrifying a duo, who researched 108 ways to use a mud pit… for trickery… could be.

Could he really expect ‘Hard Wind’ to stand up and rescue him from his predicament? Or Old Age Striking King, who is seldom online for half a year?

Those two would just be glad that their wives were venting all their anger and resentment in the game… This way, their little families could be harmonious!

But as for him? Even if he logged off, his wife would still greet him with sarcasm and ridicule!

“Old Dog…” he mumbled to himself as he slouched on the long sofa, “Your plan this time, it better be flawless!

My life, old Bald’s little life, is resting on you!”

‘Snow Cloud Peak’ was surprised: “Those two, so angry?”

“You don’t understand… Since Ji Lanyuan joined our family, she’s been raised by Old Age and Cunlü as if she were their apprentice.” ‘Perfect Bald’ lying on the sofa, covered his eyes with his hand, “Look at An Idler, look at Universal Sky Net, one foolish, one dumb, yet they fit in so well with Black Rose!

Do you remember how Old Age raised Edna?

Although because Ji Lanyuan is an adult, she wasn’t cared for as thoroughly, she was essentially raised hands-on.

Heh~

You know, Old Age, in all these years, never experienced this kind of setback.

We actually collectively misjudged someone… It’s simply…”

“Isn’t this quite normal?” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ didn’t seem to care much, “People are naturally two-faced, naturally adept at concealing their flaws in front of others.”

He looked up at the sky: “By the way, did the Moon Clan really sneak more people in last night?

Do they look down on us, or do they look down on themselves?

Seriously…”

“All in all, there’s only about 20,000 of them.” ‘Perfect Bald’ said dully, “Just right, the newcomers can have some experience.

We’ve tested it, a level 1 can deal at least 5 damage to a level 5, and can break the defense of a level 6.

In this world, fighting in a war requires forming battle formations. They’re not very familiar with it yet, so more practice is certainly a good thing.

It’s just newbie experience at this stage, losing some isn’t that painful.”

“Honestly, I don’t even know who’s suffering more by being slowly ground down like this…” Perfect Bald said with a bit of confusion in his voice, “Shouldn’t the Moon Clan know that the Undead Tribe here are veteran players who’ve been through countless battles?

Otherwise, why give them three days to grow first?

Even if they’re newcomers, it’s not so easy to collapse just because of a few deaths!”

“Maybe they got the numbers wrong on us?” Snow Cloud Peak chuckled, “If it’s calculated based on a population of over a billion, then the first hundreds of thousands are the real elites.

Among those two hundred thousand that came later, even if half are experts, the other half are average players who can easily lose their mindset.

Doing it this way isn’t incorrect, what if they bet right?

If they can get so many people to actually give up their current military exploits and hide in the newbie zone for a day and a night just for a gamble… Seems like the Moon Clan has a great commander with prestige!

Strange though, he’s that impressive, why’d he enter so late?”

“Hmm?” Perfect Bald sat up with a puzzled look, “Couldn’t he have been consolidating in the early stages?”

“The Moon Clan and Eden Garden are different from us,” Snow Cloud Peak sneered, “They revere natural-born strong people, not like us ordinary folks who work hard and climb our way up from the bottom.

Have you seen them praise any so-called grassroots?

All grassroots will declare themselves as geniuses, who find everything a breeze.

Their narrative never emphasizes that being diligent and capable is the meaning of life like ours does.”

“But isn’t that true?” Perfect Bald smirked, “Do you have some misunderstanding about the term ‘ordinary people’?”

“Shut up.” Snow Cloud Peak glared at him, “I’m very smart, of course I know that, but I also studied hard… In my old school, was there anyone not smart?

Don’t interrupt me, I’m still thinking!”

Perfect Bald, a bit intimidated, traced a line in front of his mouth.

“Weird?” Snow Cloud Peak counted his fingers one by one, “That should be the typical multi-national alliance, but like grasshoppers tied to the same rope… it should appear cooperative on the surface but not truly convinced in secret!

Especially the common folks, how could they accept people from other countries?

Could it be that a prince from some country entered to play?”

“Who cares?” Perfect Bald laughed carelessly, “Do you think you’d lose?

Old Dog.”

Snow Cloud Peak said somewhat awkwardly, “That’s not good… I’ve learned every skill except how to be humble.”

“(⊙o⊙) Wow!” Lu Huayu whirled in like the wind, “Ellie actually went to see Cunlü!”

“What’s so strange about that?” Snow Cloud Peak turned to look at him, “Haven’t they all run into each other before?”

Lu Huayu rolled his eyes, “I mean, Ellie went to watch Cunlü and the Elders level up!”

Snow Cloud Peak blinked… and slowly reacted: “They aren’t killing people right now, are they?”

“Cunlü just happens to be using that mana-draining skill with the Priest, so it’s fine.” Lu Huayu said grimly, “But the Elder, they’re beating people up right now.

Each punch lands solidly, and on very precise spots.”

“Huh?” Perfect Bald couldn’t help but touch his own waist, “Wasn’t that bump supposed to be decorative?

The pain is the same as anywhere else on the body!”

“The pain’s the same, but what about sight?” Lu Huayu retorted, “If you’ve got guts, stop touching your waist!

What’s wrong? Remembered the Elder’s custom brass knuckles?”

“How’s Ellie doing?” Snow Cloud Peak rubbed his hands together, “At this point, we can’t let her get scared and afraid to act!”

“She’s pretty tough, even though she’s pale as a sheet. At least she confirmed what Cunlü’s style is.

Hmm… does she really dare to dress like that?”

“Ah, Lady Lily of the Valley, could you relay this conversation of ours to Hill?” Snow Cloud Peak turned to the purple double-petaled Windbell Grass in the flowerpot on the coffee table.

He was a bit concerned.

Although Hill had already cut off all paths for Ellie to see him, who knows if something unexpected might happen one day?

If Ellie really learned Cunlü’s fashion and started flaunting it in front of Hill… Snow Cloud Peak sincerely feared that none would survive under the shadow of a bear’s paw.

He still had many things he needed this spirited young lady to help with!

He couldn’t let things start and then have the main character killed over such nonsense.

“Luckily, Old Age Striking King has always been ruthless when it comes to killing, showing no mercy when it comes to hitting.” Only after receiving Lily of the Valley’s affirmation, did Snow Cloud Peak feel relaxed enough to talk about other things, “Otherwise… what if those hiding ill intents run away in fright?”
