The players looked around and realized that they were in a simple war camp. The system broadcast sounded at this time, announcing to all the players: During the main city war, the main city will be temporarily closed. The seven main resurrection points will be temporarily moved outside the city. The coordinates are: XXX, XXX; During the city war, players who do not participate in the city war can continue to train in the wild and resurrect at the temporary resurrection point after death. As for players who participate in the city war, if they die during the city war, they will not lose EXP, will not lose levels, and will not lose equipment. After death, they will also resurrect at the seven locations and can immediately participate in the city war.
After the system broadcast finished, the players all over the world heard the nagging of the NPCs next to them: "City Lord XXX, cruel rule, preys on the people. He tramples on our lives, exploits everything we have, suppresses our words and deeds, and slaughters our brothers and sisters! We can't endure this anymore. Brothers and sisters, pick up the weapons in your hands and blow the horn to charge. Let us overthrow the dictatorship of City Lord XXX and build a tomorrow that belongs to us!!! "
The people who sang this were the NPC captains of the various barracks. They were all dressed in shiny armor. When they sang the last sentence, they flung their cloaks and pulled out their long swords, pointing at the main city that was thousands of meters away.
The players looked at each other. What was going on? It was like a peasant uprising. It turned out that this city war had a story behind it. Of course, these words were not provocative to the players. Did the players have the time to care about him at this time? The online teleportation was messed up by the system. At this time, they were all sending messages to find their own organizations! This was the most chaotic rebel army in history. The commander had already called for a charge, but the soldiers had not even found their own teams!
"Coordinates XXX, XXX, I'm here. Everyone, come over! Gather, do you hear me? Hurry!!! "
"Where's the flag? Who has the flag? Isn't it called the flag? Raise the flag! Follow the flag!! "
"Quest, there's a quest in the camp. I found a quest!!!"
The guild channel was even more chaotic than the scene. It was full of similar voices.
Unsworn Sword, as the guild leader of the most powerful guild in Cloud Cloud City, was also completely dumbfounded. Usually, they felt that their guild could be said to be the tyrant of the city. But now, all the guilds in the city were mobilized. Only then did they understand what people meant. In a main city with 500,000 players, how could a guild with a little more than 1,000 players possibly compare? For the first time, Unsworn Sword felt that his guild was so insignificant as he stared at the endless sea of heads that covered the mountains and plains. Level six? What was a Level 6? Even the Ten Societies Alliance in Moonlit Night City, with four thousand people, was just a drop of water in front of such a formation.
Unsworn Sword had never seen such a big scene before! Actually, what he saw in front of him was not enough for five hundred thousand people. There were 500,000 players in the city, but a significant portion of them didn't play in guilds. There were also some who had joined guilds but weren't interested in participating in the event. The guilds couldn't force them to join, and there were also those who didn't want to get involved in this mess, so they pretended that nothing had happened. In fact, if it weren't for the official promise that the points earned in this event would be exchanged for experience rewards, other than when there were rankings. In short, participating in this event was more worthwhile than leveling up. It was because of this rule that many players stayed.
In this chaotic situation, a large guild like Unhindered was actually a burden. After calling out to them for a long time, he didn't see anyone from his own guild come to his side. Perhaps there were … but frankly speaking, there were more than a thousand people in the guild, and Unsworn Sword didn't even know a third of them. Those who were familiar could be counted on one hand. If the guild leader was like this, then what about the members? There were many people in big guilds like them who didn't know each other. At this moment, countless people from the same guilds stood side by side on the plains, gazing into the distance, thinking, "Where are our brothers from our own guilds?"
When their gazes turned to the side, they glanced at the emblem. Hey! We're on the same side!
On the other hand, small guilds like Amethyst Rebirth and Eternal Life Among Flowers moved quickly. Everyone in the guild was like a family, and they were familiar with each other. They had few people, so they gathered quickly. Amethyst Rebirth's members who were online were already in place. July looked left and right and found it strange. "Where's Qian Li?"
"He dropped the ball at the crucial moment, call him!!" Slender Waist Dance shouted as she sent a message to Gu Fei. In the end, she received a system notification: Enemies are not allowed to communicate.
She wasn't the only one who sent a message to Gu Fei. At this time, even July and Luoluo received a private message and received the same reply. She looked up and saw the confusion in the others.
"What does this mean? What enemies? "Luoluo asked.
"Is it referring to the city war?"
"Isn't the enemy in the city war the one defending the city? Qian Li is defending the city? "
The ladies were in an uproar. What was going on? The top experts were chosen to defend the city. The system was cheating!!!
Gu Fei was also at a loss at this time, extremely at a loss. When he went online, he appeared at the revival point as usual. He didn't notice that there were no players around him. Because it was a city war, he wanted to gather with the ladies. Hence, he sent a message to ask where to meet. In the end, he received the system's reply: Enemies are not allowed to communicate. Gu Fei was confused. Hence, he sent a message to the Young Master Elite Group's channel. The system's reply was the same.
Gu Fei was confused. When he raised his head again, he realized that the revival point was frighteningly quiet. Usually, regardless of the time, the revival point would always be filled with people coming and going. What was going on today? There wasn't a single person at such an important event?
When Gu Fei walked out of the Knight's Camp, he was shocked. He saw a team of elite knights gathered at the square in front of the knight's camp. Gu Fei went forward to take a look. He recognized that they were NPCs and not players. He was confused! The system broadcast ended at this moment, and the captain of the team of knights was seen waving his sword. "Warriors, there is a group of thugs trying to disrupt our peaceful lives. They have gathered a large number of troops and are preparing to attack our city. Warriors, take up your weapons. Defend your home, defend your honor, and protect your brothers and sisters! Follow me and slay these thugs with our sword of justice!!! "
Gu Fei was completely confused. Wasn't this a main city attack? Why was he in the middle of a song about defending the main city? Why was he surrounded by NPCs? Where were the players? Where did the players go?
Gu Fei ran through a few streets and didn't see a single player. Instead, he saw system guards gathering and walking around. The system's formation was very different from usual. Other than the usual system guards, Gu Fei also saw a square formation of Mages and Priests. When he passed by the Thieves Guild, he saw a group of assassins. They weren't like the Warriors and Knights who lined up, talked, or encouraged morale. They just sat there silently, expressionless and silent. The NPC's performance was perfect. But among these silent faces, Gu Fei saw a blank face that made him feel a sense of familiarity.
"Sword Specter!!!" Gu Fei shouted.
Sword Specter hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Gu Fei.
"What's going on?" Gu Fei took a few steps forward.
"I didn't know what was going on, but now that I see you, I think the problem is with our factions!" Sword Specter said.
"Factions?"
"Yes, because of our factions, we've been assigned to defend the main city." Sword Specter said.
"This … What kind of explanation is this? I didn't see any announcements about this! "Gu Fei said.
"How many people can there be in a faction? That's why the system didn't make any announcements! "Sword Specter said.
"If there's no announcement, then we're considered normal people!" Gu Fei said.
"Who knows what rules there are." Sword Specter said.
"Then what do we do now? Fight against hundreds of thousands of players? "Just as he said this, Gu Fei suddenly felt a little excited. This was fun! Moreover, he had heard the system announcement. Dying in a city battle didn't cause any losses, only equipment durability. Gu Fei had always disregarded life and death when he PKed himself, mainly because he didn't want to cause trouble for other players. If he didn't have this thought, why would he be so obsessed with the Wanted Quest? If he wanted to PK, wouldn't the streets be full of people? Wasn't apple vinegar the same?
Thinking of this, Gu Fei hurriedly said, "Then that apple vinegar and Breaking Water Arrow, aren't they also part of the faction?"
"They've both dropped to Level 40, so they still don't know! And even if they are, wouldn't it be based on household registration? "Sword Specter said.
"Then didn't you go help Water Depth? Why didn't they send you to Forest Shade City? "
"My household registration isn't there! I've been training here for the past few days. Before I went offline, I just teleported to Forest Shade City, and then wasn't there a system maintenance? When I came back up, I was back here. I wanted to tell Water Depth, but I couldn't send the message. "Sword Specter said.
"Say, there are only two of us defending the city. If we really manage to defend the city, how are we going to split it? Shall we split it half? "Gu Fei asked.
"That's impossible! Pay attention to the rules of the city battle announced by the system. In fact, it only says that ten thousand points will be used to divide the factions. In fact, it doesn't mention whether this city battle quest can be completed or failed. I think that maybe when the players kill ten thousand points, the city battle will be declared over. I feel that this city battle isn't so much an event, but an update for the players to participate. Through the players' participation, the main city will be divided in the hands of the players. "Sword Specter analyzed.
"En, I think your analysis is more reliable than Brother You's." Gu Fei said. These days, Brother You was just talking about money, economy, circulation, and the value of goods. He always wanted to pull people together to discuss it. The other five members of the elite group all broke down, and all sent him to South Sword Specter's side.
"So, this isn't a quest with victory or defeat. It's just an update. I think the best is yet to come. "Sword Specter said.
"What do you mean?"
"Once the factions are divided, are we just going to let the guild pass it down? I think that when the time comes, they'll definitely announce the corresponding rules. This faction will become the main stage for the guilds to compete. "
"You've said so much, then what are we going to do? Jump out of the city and fight with five hundred thousand people? "Gu Fei said.
"I just received a quest." Sword Specter said.
"What quest?"
"Assassination. The target is a player called White and Black."
"Who?"
"The Black and White Alliance of Life and Death. Do you know? It's the guild leader. "Sword Specter said.
"Oh!" Gu Fei came to a realization. "They want you to assassinate the enemy's commander! Looks like this group is also a suicide squad. When the time comes, they will specifically target the guild leader. "Gu Fei said as he looked at the silent group of assassins outside the Thieves Guild Square.
Sword Specter laughed bitterly: "They know where the target is. What should I do? Where am I supposed to find five hundred thousand people? "
"En, I don't think it's possible. Let's just charge in and kill randomly!" Gu Fei was already eager to try.
"Five hundred thousand people!" Sword Specter sighed, but in reality, he was reminding Gu Fei: I know you're fierce, but your opponents today aren't five or fifteen people, but five hundred thousand people. It's a number that can defeat you with a single spit.
"When are these guys going to make their move? When the time comes, we can mix in with the NPCs. "Gu Fei said.
"I don't know! They've been sitting there for half a day without saying anything or moving. "Sword Specter said.
"There are some moving around in the city. Let's follow them." Gu Fei suggested.
"Okay!" Sword Specter nodded. The two left the Thieves Guild Square. At the corner of the street, they saw a group of archers valiantly setting off. The two hurriedly followed behind. Of course, the NPCs didn't pay attention to them. The two followed the group all the way to the watchtower at the corner of the city. They walked up the stairs to the top of the city wall and saw the group of archers lined up in a row, drawing their bowstrings.
"F * ck!!" Gu Fei and Sword Specter cursed. This group of archers actually didn't plan on leaving the city. It looked like they were going to stand guard at the top of the city wall.
It wasn't as if players had never climbed the walls of a main city before. This time, however, the walls weren't just for sightseeing and sightseeing. Archers and Mages, two of the most powerful ranged classes in the city, were also present. Every twenty to thirty meters, there was a catapult. Gu Fei and Sword Specter walked up to take a look. The stones that the catapult needed to throw were piled up next to it. The head was even bigger than a player. Gu Fei and Sword Specter tried to move it together, but they couldn't move it at all.
"F * ck, what level does a Warrior have to be to move it? The system has such a high level character. How shameless! " As Sword Specter said this, he saw a sturdy Warrior running over. Gu Fei and Sword Specter waited to see how he was going to move the boulders. In the end, he didn't move them at all. He walked up to the pile of boulders, waved his sword, and shouted: "Load the boulders!!!"
Gu Fei and Sword Specter waited to see the coolie, but in the end, a white light flashed and one of the boulders disappeared. The catapult's ladle had a boulder lying firmly on it. The two of them had tears streaming down their cheeks. How could he compete with the system? He didn't move them at all and just refreshed them.
After visiting the top of the city, they looked down at the bottom of the city. Thousands of meters away were the two of them's true friends: the players. Sword Specter looked for a while and frowned. "Why is it so messy?"
About half an hour had passed, and the outside of the city was still chaotic. Many people still hadn't found their guilds! Everyone vented their anger on the system. Why was it randomly refreshing? It was a mess. They couldn't even find their guilds, so what was the point of the city battle!
At the beginning of the city battle, the system soldiers made declarations and oaths, but the players were so disrespectful. Gu Fei and Sword Ghoul watched as the stones on the city walls were all set up, the arrows of the archers had all been counted, and the mages had eaten their fill of fruits. The melee profession vanguards had also gathered at the city gates. Even the assassins from the Thieves Guild had already dispersed from the front of the Thieves Guild courtyard, hiding in some unknown corner.
As two players who had personally witnessed the situation inside and outside the city, Gu Fei and Sword Specter agreed that if the system didn't go easy on them, the players wouldn't be able to take down the main city. From this, they were even more convinced of Sword Specter's deduction. The system's activity was just a formality, so it wasn't very serious. The players went online and refreshed randomly, and the two lone faction players were ignored and thrown into the city. In any case, it didn't look like a carefully planned activity.
The two of them were feeling melancholy! Gu Fei suddenly pointed in a certain direction. "Look, look over there."
Sword Specter looked in the direction he was pointing. It was also a sea of players, and he didn't know what was special about it. He asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Look, that flag. Do you see it?" Gu Fei continued to point.
Sword Specter continued to be confused. "Which flag? There are so many flags. "
"That black and white flag, is it the guild flag of the Black and White Life and Death Alliance?" Gu Fei said.
"Oh, it might be …"
"Where there's a flag, the guild leader is probably around. Do you know him?" Gu Fei asked.
"Not really, but I can recognize him when I see him," Sword Specter said.
"Let's do it!" Gu Fei was excited. Although it was a PK, a PK with a purpose was always more interesting than a meaningless fight. It would be quite boring to just jump into the sea of people and kill and kill. It was like a race. The finish line was drawn in front of them, and they would win if they reached it. The other side didn't even know where the finish line was. What was the point of running and running?
"Isn't going to die? Let's wait and see for the players to move," Sword Specter said.
"I think your quest is actually quite easy to do. When the time comes, you can join the crowd. They don't care which guild you're from. They see you as a person and treat you as a comrade. They won't know that we're from the system! "Gu Fei said.
"The key is to find the person," Sword Specter said.
"Keep an eye on that flag," Gu Fei said.
"I should have borrowed the binoculars …" Sword Specter muttered.
The binoculars were now in the hands of the Han family's young master. A few days ago, when the girl wanted it, he returned it. In the end, it was only a few days before the city war, and this guy went to borrow it again. There was no strategic goal to live forever among the flowers, so he lent it to him again.
At this time, the Han family's young master was holding the binoculars to observe the main city. As he watched, he froze. He put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes. He looked at the wine bottles on the ground beside him. Did I drink too much?
Impossible! The Han family's young master thought and raised the binoculars again. This time, he finally confirmed that it was Gu Fei and Sword Specter who had disappeared before the city war. How did these two guys suddenly appear on the city wall?
