One had to admit that the Continental Alliance's battle was very ugly. The main reason was that they didn't understand their opponents. No one had any experience fighting the Druids because the Druids hadn't participated in any battles on the continent for a long time. The last time they went out was during the Undead War a hundred years ago. After that, the Druids didn't make any movements in the Moonlight Valley. Although they were part of the Elven Kingdom, they didn't participate in the Elven Kingdom's wars at all. As a result, the people on the continent didn't know much about them.
Moreover, the time that Li Huailin requested was a little tight. Two days meant that Geert didn't have the time to investigate these things. Under such circumstances, it wasn't incomprehensible to suffer a defeat.
Of course, the news of the defeat came this morning. Geert had been waiting for the news since the army set off yesterday and hadn't rested until now. When he received the news of the defeat, he immediately jumped up. He didn't rest all night and this infuriating news made Geert, a good old man, explode.
However, the worst thing was yet to come. Because this was a surprise attack, Legg didn't prepare any supplies or anything like that. After retreating in defeat this time, he couldn't even set up a camp on the spot, so Legg's opinion was to retreat and reorganize. But of course, Geert didn't agree. Li Huailin's order was two days. You want to retreat and reorganize now? Can you make it in time? How are you going to take responsibility for delaying Li Huailin's order?
Thus, Geert ordered Legg and the others to wait while he immediately dispatched a supply team to deliver the necessary supplies (for example, in the previous battle, many of the soldiers had lost their weapons, and they didn't have any supplies or weapons, so it was even more impossible for them to fight). In the end, even this didn't go smoothly. Erzema, who was in charge of this, actually said that the supplies would only arrive tomorrow.
Hearing this news, Geert naturally exploded. Tomorrow was the last day set by Li Huailin. Then, you said that the sky had arrived. Do you still have time to fight? Thus, Geert directly scolded Erzema. This was the situation that Li Huailin saw when he came in.
After hearing the whole story, Li Huailin's expression changed again. Indeed, Li Huailin had thought that it was because Geert wasn't prepared in time and didn't have the time to fight. But now, he actually told Li Huailin that he had already fought. Not only did he fight, but he actually lost. How could Li Huailin not be angry?
"Good, very good." Li Huailin sneered and said, "This is the first time I didn't care about the battle, and you guys still managed to cause such a big scene. Not bad."
"Your … Your Majesty, please forgive us!" Everyone heard Li Huailin's sarcastic tone. This time, everyone really panicked.
"To be honest, I suddenly feel that there's no use in having you guys around. You can't even do a simple task well." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Everyone here has to take responsibility for this. Geert, prepare a lottery box with ten black lots. Those who draw will be hanged."
"Your Majesty, this …" Although they knew that Li Huailin was going to punish them, they didn't expect it to be like this. How could they do it like this? Draw lots?
"Hurry up. I still have to clean up the mess you left behind," Li Huailin said calmly.
"Yes, yes …" Geert immediately nodded and left. The remaining officials in the room looked at Li Huailin in fear. There were more than thirty people in the room, so the ten black lots had a 30% chance of death. However, it was possible to die at any time. The fear was no joke.
Although everyone wanted to beg for mercy, no one spoke first. Yes, Li Huailin was too terrifying. No one dared to question Li Huailin's orders at this time. If they didn't speak, they would have a 70% chance of survival. If they spoke, they would definitely die. Everyone understood this logic.
The wait wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. Soon, Geert returned with a box in his hand and a group of guards. Without saying anything, Geert handed the box to Li Huailin.
Li Huailin shook the box slightly. Inside the box should be something like a ball. Li Huailin nodded and said to Geert, "Starting with you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Geert nodded. He had already prepared for this. Indeed, he couldn't escape his responsibility this time. He never thought he would be an exception.
Taking a deep breath, Geert reached his hand into the box and took out a small white ball. Obviously, he didn't get it.
"Okay, next. Come up," Li Huailin said with a nod.
It was impossible to escape. An NPC in his fifties sitting to the left of Li Huailin immediately stood up and began to draw a lot. Luck was on his side, and he passed without a hitch.
Next to him was a civil official in his thirties. Unfortunately, as soon as he touched it, his expression changed because what he touched was a black ball.
"Your … Your Majesty …" The official was so scared that he peed his pants. The ball in his hand fell to the ground, and he almost collapsed. But before he fell, two guards came from the left and right and directly grabbed him and dragged him out.
"Next," Li Huailin said coldly.
After drawing ten people in a row and dragging three out, Li Huailin found that the actions of these guys were getting slower and slower. Of course, this was also human nature. After all, in this situation, everyone's mind was occupied with the battle of the heavens. However, Li Huailin didn't have time to wait for them to play. After one of them finished drawing, Li Huailin handed the lottery box to the captain of the guards beside him.
"Deli, I'll leave the rest to you." Li Huailin said to the captain (Li Huailin didn't know his name), "I have other matters to attend to."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the captain of the guards named Deli immediately saluted.
"Geert, follow me." Li Huailin waved at Geert. Of course, Geert immediately followed.
Li Huailin was about to go to the frontline to check on the situation. However, before he could walk out of the door, he suddenly received a system notification. Li Huailin looked at it and saw that it was Night Flight looking for him.
"Huailin, where are you now?" Night Flight asked anxiously.
"I'm at the Duke's Mansion. What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked.
"I'm at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion. I need to talk to you," Night Flight said.
"Wait for a moment. I was just about to come out." As Li Huailin spoke, he saw Night Flight standing at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion. Yes, Night Flight had logged off at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion yesterday. It seemed like he hadn't gone far.
"What's the situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Huailin, did something happen here? Our guild members can't accept quests from the Druids in Moonlight Valley right now. They'll attack us as soon as we get there," Night Flight said. Ye Hang said, "It's not just us. The other guilds are also in the same situation …"
"Lei Zhu, the Gods, and the others?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Night Flight nodded.
"Got it." Li Huailin quickly understood what was going on. Yes, the Continental Alliance had officially declared war on the Druids. Spirit World, Lei Zhu, and the Gods were still affiliated with Li Huailin's Continental Alliance. Yes, during the last server war, these Guilds had joined Li Huailin's side for the sake of teleportation. However, after that, they felt that this function was too convenient. They could teleport to places they couldn't go before. Of course, they didn't want to leave. Therefore, until now, the players in the East Asia region had basically been defeated. These Guilds were still affiliated with Li Huailin.
Yesterday, Li Huailin's Continental Alliance declared war on the Druids. Of course, these Guilds affiliated with Li Huailin also automatically declared war on the Druids. Since they were enemies, the Druids wouldn't be polite to these Guilds when they entered the other party's territory.
According to Night Flight, although there wasn't much content in this version update, according to the hints, everyone knew that the place to trigger quests was in Moonlight Valley's Druids. Of course, as soon as they went online, all the players ran there to accept quests. In the end, the Spirit World, the Gods, and Lei Zhu encountered such a situation. Night Flight thought for a while and roughly guessed what was going on. He immediately came to find Li Huailin.
"I didn't expect such a problem to occur." Li Huailin said, "You know that my Continental Alliance is now integrating the forces of the entire continent. The originally neutral forces are now in the process of gathering. I let the NPCs do it themselves, but I didn't expect them to find the Druids when we were leveling up and going offline. After all, they didn't join us. According to my previous order, those who didn't join us will be conquered by force. That's why we started a war."
Li Huailin explained a little. The gist of it was that these people took the initiative to declare war on the Druids. He didn't expect that this version update would have to accept quests from the Druids. That was why there was a problem.
"I see." Night Flight nodded. "What do we do now? It seems like we still have to accept quests from the Druids. If we don't accept quests, we'll fall behind in this version update. "
"Although you can leave the Continental Alliance now, I recommend that you wait a little longer." Li Huailin said, "I'll settle this matter immediately. Besides, Moonlight Valley will probably be very chaotic. It's better if you don't let the Spirit World's people go there first. We'll talk about it later."
