Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Storm Approaches

Countdown to Demon Hunting Event Opening: 02:29:58

In a virtual offline meeting room, eight screens showed images of eight successful-looking men and women.

Among them, Shengshi Drunkard of the Shengshi Dynasty was a dignified middle-aged man.

At this moment, Shengshi Drunkard was speaking excitedly:

“Listen to me, board members. Regardless of the agreement the City Lord and the Elf King reach, we cannot just sit back and do nothing.”

“The information I have is that according to the rules, the City Lord’s Mansion has reached its limit; they can’t directly help players fight monsters.”

“Since the low-level monster area is blocked, let’s move to a higher-level monster area. With Shengshi’s strength, we are fully capable of competing for the top two, or even first place.”

“A small Ice and Snow Illusion City and Famous Clan are nothing to me.”

At this moment, a white-haired elder in another video interrupted Shengshi Drunkard:

“I’ve heard that the higher the monster level, the tougher they are. In the high-level monster area, can your efficiency match their speed in dealing with low-level monsters?”

“If it’s hopeless, just give up. Don’t make pointless attempts; securing the top 5 and getting the guild establishment order is enough.”

“The initial investments show no sign of return, don’t just waste money; our funds aren’t infinite.”

At this time, other people in the videos started expressing their opinions,

“Yeah, there’s been so much input with no returns, and now you want us to invest more. How is that possible? Let’s grow the guild first.”

After this person finished speaking, their video disappeared from the virtual meeting room.

“Let’s listen to Old Crane and find a way to recoup our funds first.”

Subsequently, the other video feeds also disappeared one by one, leaving a helpless Shengshi Drunkard, who gritted his teeth and said:

“Idiots.”

After hesitating for a while, Shengshi Drunkard seemed to have made a major decision and dialed a number:

“Hey, Wei Xiao? I need you to handle something for me immediately.”

…

Meanwhile, Luoshen Liunian was speaking to Luoshen Demon Fiend:

“Knowing Shengshi Drunkard’s character, he won’t give up easily.”

Luoshen Demon Fiend asked:

“Do we need to make any arrangements?”

Luoshen Liunian smiled lightly:

“Let’s avoid direct confrontation to secure the top 5; there’s no rush, the road is long.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it now.”

…

At this moment, in a refined suite, a very handsome man was lying on a large bed with his hands under his head, staring at the clock on the wall at the end of the bed,

“One more hour, so hard to endure!”

In a daze, suddenly he heard a sharp ringing sound.

The man snapped his eyes open and looked at the time,

“Damn!”

He then quickly put on the gaming helmet on the bedside.

The scene before the man changed rapidly, a strong light attacked, making him close his eyes instinctively.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside him:

“You’re here!”

Regaining his vision, the incredibly handsome man turned to see the Elf King standing beside him.

The incredibly handsome man asked:

“Your highness, Elf King, what do we do next?”

The Elf King (Lin Yi) smiled and said, “Of course… we’re going to seize territory!”

The incredibly handsome man looked at the fierce-looking Werewolf Race team behind him, swallowing hard,

“This is too intense.”

Meanwhile, as the event time approached, the entire Cyan Dragon City felt a storm brewing.

The most obvious was the frequent and dense personnel movements of the Shengshi Dynasty.

Outside the west gate of Cyan Dragon City, besides the main guild of 500 people, the Shengshi Dynasty had over 2,000 members from its five branch guilds gathered there, creating a grand spectacle.

Players passing by couldn’t help but be amazed:

“As expected of the overlord of the online gaming world, not just any guild can put on such a display.”

“Obviously! These over 2,000 people are all contracted professional players with Shengshi. Even the lowest-level salaries are on par with real-world white-collar jobs. Think about that.”

Fortunately, the world’s map is large; 3,000 people is quite a show, but outside the city, it’s just a small group.

Shengshi Drunkard looked at those people and ordered:

“All clan leaders follow the original plan and start grouping!”

Shengshi Wei Xiao asked on the side:

“Are we really doing this?”

With a cold snort, Shengshi Drunkard didn’t respond.

They had come this far, there was no turning back.

On the other side, Lord with Proud Sanctuary led 1,700 people from the guild out the east gate, only to see a group from Famous Clan gathered outside the city gate.

Lord said to a familiar face among them:

“Where’s your president?”

Famous Clan’s member replied:

“Just got a message; he’s on his way.”

Lord nodded and was about to lead his people to the designated spot to fight monsters.

Because of the base site, Proud Sanctuary’s guild numbers far exceeded other guilds by more than threefold.

Therefore, while everyone was eagerly preparing for battle, only Lord remained extremely calm.

However, at this moment, someone shouted in terror:

“Look over there, what is that?”

“Damn! So many werewolves.”

Everyone looked and saw a group of werewolves led by the Elf King approaching in a grand procession.

“Look, that’s the Elf King.”

At this moment, the Famous Clan also noticed the situation, and someone with sharp eyes saw the Elf King standing next to Shuai Diao Zha,

“Isn’t that the president next to the Elf King? Oh my!”

“What is the president up to? Is he really going to attack the city?”

Lord of Proud Sanctuary was also stunned by this scene in front of him.

Suddenly a strange thought popped into his head:

Can this game be played like this?

Lin Yi (Elf King) said to Shuai Diao Zha:

“Get everyone to follow up, we’re heading to the Level 10 Demonized Withered Butterfly area.”

Shuai Diao Zha couldn’t think too much at this moment, and could only instinctively shout:

“Everyone follow me, we’re taking the territory.”

Players passing by were shocked by this scene and said:

“Oh my, is this a game I’m playing? Why does it feel like a mafia brawl?”

“Let’s go, let’s watch the show.”

Someone approached Lord of Proud Sanctuary,

“Should we go join the fun?”

Lord of Proud Sanctuary glanced at the game time and shook his head:

“Forget it, we should stick to our plan, this level of storyline isn’t something we can meddle in.”

Lin Yi (Elf King) led a group of people but before they reached the Level 10 Demonized Withered Butterfly area, they were blocked by a row of Level 30 City Guards.

One of them stepped forward to stop them and said:

“Halt, this area has been sealed off by the City Lord’s Mansion, please”

Before the leader could finish speaking, Willman went up and directly picked him up by his collar and tossed him aside.

The formidable Level 50 Willman, at this moment, looked like an almighty god of death, glaring at the Level 30 City Guards filled with terror.

“This place belongs to the Werewolf Race!”

“Is your Werewolf Race planning a rebellion?”

The leader who was thrown away said with anger on his face.

Willman approached the terrified leader step by step, revealing his menacing fangs, and uttered one word:

“Scram!”

The leader was struck speechless, his face flushed red,

“You!”

Willman fearlessly said:

“Surround them all.”

Behind Willman, the group of werewolves swiftly surrounded the bewildered City Guards.

Seeing this, the leader left a remark:

“Good one, Werewolf Race, you’ll see.”

After saying that, he ran away.

Lin Yi (Elf King) paid no heed to this and instead turned to Shuai Diao Zha and said:

“Clear the area.”

Shuai Diao Zha was stunned for a moment; clear the area?

At this moment, the female players within Ice and Snow Illusion City, when had they ever seen such a scene?

One by one, they were long scared off out of the monster zone, and looking around, there was no one left.

Since the City Lord’s Mansion controlled almost all the Level 10-12 monster zones, there weren’t many players assigned to the Demonized Withered Butterfly area.

(In the Alliance Pact of the Hundred Races, a clan leader and a city lord have the same status within a city, not based on strength.

If someone relies on their strength to unilaterally break the pact, they would be considered traitors and enemies of the Hundred Races.

No one has dared to unilaterally break the pact without major offense from the other side.)

This was also the reason why Lin Yi sought out Willman.

Because on the level of the Hundred Races, Willman’s rank as a clan leader was equal to that of Babylon as a city lord.

Lin Yi, the Elf King, was the same, but the awkward thing was, Lin Yi was now a lone commander, leaving him no choice but to seek out Willman for help.

Lin Yi (Elf King) instructed Shuai Diao Zha, “Follow the grouping as previously arranged, let them farm monsters here.”

“With the help of the Werewolf Race friends, no one would dare cause trouble.”

A monster zone was definitely larger than imagined; the Demonized Withered Butterflies grouped in threes were scattered across the whole Luoxia Plain, enough for the Famous Clan to farm.

Seeming to catch the underlying meaning of the Elf King’s words, Shuai Diao Zha was surprised,

“You mean I’m not staying here?”

Lin Yi (Elf King) nodded in affirmation,

“Yes, you have another arrangement.”

Lin Yi then directly pointed to Tian Ci and Red Eyes who were stealthily beside Shuai Diao Zha,

“You two as well.”

Tian Ci was at first surprised and then revealed himself under Shuai Diao Zha’s shocked gaze,

“Impressive, as expected from the Elf King, being able to see through my stealth at a glance, admirable!”

Lin Yi (Elf King) didn’t waste words: “Follow me.”

In the City Lord’s Mansion Hall of Cyan Dragon City

Babylon laughed heartily after hearing his subordinate’s report,

“I almost forgot about this matter.”

A valiant general stepped forward and said:

“Shall I go teach those werewolves a lesson?”

Babylon shook his head and said:

“No need, if they want it, let them have it.”

Babylon then stood up from his seat,

“Let’s go too; the game has begun.”

……

The first Chapter is complete.
