Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 305: Chapter 175: Kingdom Invasion (Part 2)

Forced himself to try to understand the first sentence, even muttered these awkward ancient texts quietly.

About five minutes later, Baiyi snapped the book shut and tossed it into the Space Ring.

This thing was like foreigners reading classical Chinese, a bewildering and brain-burning experience; he needed a moment to calm down.

Zero: [Miss Diane asks: Where have you reached?]

Zero: [Coordinates sent.]

Zero: [Miss Diane asks: Will I have a child?]

Zero: [The probability of five attempts by a Golden Level Transcendent is 0.036%.]

Baiyi: ....

[You don’t need to calculate when chatting with Diane, focus on other things.]

Zero: [Instructions received.]

Baiyi was somewhat speechless, as a light screen appeared before him. While replying to Diane, he began to pay attention to the situation in Dongwu City, because the players there were already in the final stages of war preparations.

-----------------

Outside Dongwu City.

The Guard Brigade’s live broadcast had also started.

Yesterday, while the entire internet was abuzz with Baiyi’s news, the player forums were particularly lively because the Guard Brigade, Demacia, Xiahou Fuxing, and some of Dongwu City’s streamers were live streaming simultaneously.

They began summoning players.

Now, eleven thousand troops in Dongwu City had divided into four regions, surrounding three valleys and a plain.

Streamers connected with each other, forming four split screens, each broadcasting these four locations.

”Are you ready?” the Guard Brigade asked softly.

The densely packed players behind were exceptionally quiet, with excited expressions, flooding the live stream chat.

[Ready.]×n.

The streamers, suppressing their excitement, replied in low voices.

The Guard Brigade nodded: ”Now, each battlefield only has fifty thousand players, we might be at a disadvantage, but it doesn’t matter, others can rush into the four battlefields when online, not forcing those who aren’t.”

”Wait a minute and see if there are any tasks. If there are, take the task and rush, if not, it doesn’t matter. Whoever grabs the equipment and monsters owns them.”

Now, Dongwu City has more than two hundred thousand players; due to the promo video, most players know about the war.

Players seeking excitement ran to the Border City, while those uninterested in fighting ran inland.

Of course, the players who came to play the game and engage in the main storyline still make up the majority, so the number of players in Dongwu City reached 450,000 and continues to grow.

Other three border cities are similar, which is why Baiyi didn’t feel many players in the Capital City.

After all, although the Capital City is prosperous, the stability and peace mean there’s not much to do there.

Now, the few tens of thousands of players in the Capital City don’t want to travel, waiting for possible major events.

The fact that streamers could gather nearly half the players is impressive, considering who listens to orders when playing a game?

If the Guard Brigade hadn’t explicitly told them that going to that valley meant certain death, how could they be waiting here obediently?

A hint of excitement appeared in the Guard Brigade’s tone: ”Listen to me now, keep hidden, wait for me to play the first war song.”

The Guard Brigade searched the forums, finding some recorded poems from this world, all created by Minstrels, with a few being very popular on Blue Star, hailed as cross-era masterpieces.

As the exhilarating music started playing, the Guard Brigade waved his hand.

Buzz~ Boom!

Suddenly, loud explosions sounded in the four large areas to the south, west, and north of Dongwu City.

These explosives were crafted by the players themselves, a streamer’s labor, shared for free in this major mission, gaining a stream of traffic.

The ground began to tremble, and the valley shook.

The Guard Brigade and players watched the depths of the valley excitedly, waiting silently for something.

As time passed by, the road cleared at the end of the valley gradually appeared faintly amidst infinite smoke.

The soldiers from the Crimson Kingdom never expected that half of their forces, which were preparing to surprise the Teleportation Array of Dongwu City, would be ambushed.

They were still in a daze, but without receiving orders, they could only guard the Teleportation Array, as it was their duty.

Meanwhile, in the player’s camp, tens of thousands of players grew more excited, staring intently into the valley.

As time went by, some players could no longer hold back and, listening to the passionate music from the forum’s live broadcast, picked up their weapons and rushed into the valley without hesitation.

As one player charged in, the rest couldn’t hold back any longer.

”Kill them, the monsters are mine! Urah!”

”Urah!”

The players shouted all sorts of things, eventually forming the roar of the Fourth Calamity, a momentum deafening in the early morning!

Hundreds of Crimson soldiers who came out to check the situation were stunned by the sudden appearance of numerous enemies.

”The Federation has attacked, quickly report to His Majesty!”

”Our plan has been exposed, stop them, don’t let them enter our Kingdom!”

They shouted some bizarre phrases, with some charging towards the players, and others entering the Teleportation Array directly.

”Fireball Technique! Urah!”

An excited Mage player released a skill, a one-meter-wide fireball slowly falling to the ground, exploding with a loud bang.

This sound also marked the official start of the players’ second team battle.

[You triggered the multiplayer main storyline mission: Nation Invasion.]

[Name: Nation Invasion.

Introduction: Victory will belong to order, even Gods will tremble beneath your feet.]

Upon seeing the task, players’ eyes lit up immediately, rushing faster and faster; what is it now? It’s a monster-snatch phase!

Some players even targeted the people in front, because there were... too few monsters here.

The Guard Brigade in the rear also received the task; his eyes gleamed, and he shouted eagerly: ”In front, this is a grinding spot, don’t push the crystal, grind the monsters! Those are all Gold Coins!”

Other streamers and guild leaders were similar, shouting at the top of their voices, rushing forward extremely fast.

Fearing the players at the very front would start demolishing recklessly, costing this opportunity the players had.

But clearly, they worried too much, the few dozen Crimson soldiers in the valley were instantly overwhelmed, but behind them, batch after batch of soldiers suddenly appeared.

These soldiers emanated a scarlet glow, exuding a wildly sinister feeling.

This type of soldier instantly filled the valley, immediately pushing outward, players’ momentum suddenly hindered, many cut down on the spot.

Both sides were deadlocked, and players remained the weaker party.

The siege by Dongwu City wasn’t very secretive, and the Scarlet Kingdom’s King suffered a big loss last time; this time was actually a test, to see how much strength Dongwu City really had first.

If they could easily flatten it, they’d bring down Dongwu City with full force, if discovered like last time, then exhaust Dongwu City’s living strength.

Anyway, to the Ancient Gods, soldiers are abundant, he can afford the attrition.

Plus, those without souls and those mutated are things they need to observe.

Some soldiers atop the valley, not particularly strong, were recording the war data to observe the gap between both sides.

This is also why after Luoning arranged it like this, Dongwu City was no longer in danger, as the plan shifted there from war to testing.

Next time, when the real invasion battle initiates, this test will be the Scarlet Kingdom’s assessment of Dongwu City, then the decisive battle will be overwhelming.

And not just the valley, the four besieged battle zones were abandoned by the Crimson Kingdom.
