Gu Fei's casual disconnection caused a lot of people in the Cloud Cloud City to be at a loss. The Han Family's young master also made a few derisive comments in the mercenary channel, but no one dared to reply. The tragedy of Imperial Shenming was still fresh in everyone's mind. The Han Family's young master pointed at Sword Ghost and asked him about the status of the mission. Sword Ghost pretended to be deaf and mute. He sneaked to the resurrection camp in the northeast, but even Gu Fei couldn't find a chance here. Sword Ghost naturally didn't have a good opportunity to attack after walking around twice.
But Sword Ghost was also a person who couldn't stay idle, so he changed to another camp and tried to provoke the players and camp NPCs to fight each other. But the players in the Cloud Cloud City had lost their camp because of this internal strife. They weren't stupid enough to fall for it again. Sword Ghost's act was seen through. Sword Ghost was actually just trying it out because he had nothing to do. He didn't have much hope, so he left a path of retreat. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party wanted to surround him, he used a Misty Strike and killed his way out.
Sword Ghost returned to the Assassin's Alliance in the city and received another assassination mission. In the end, it was another strange little guild leader. He was so small that even Brother You did not know about him. This made Brother You feel very ashamed — his information was actually missing. In the end, it was Sword Ghost who comforted Brother You and promptly canceled the mission. As a result, after canceling two missions in a row, the Assassin's Alliance severely criticized Sword Ghost, warning him that his cowardly work style was unacceptable. Sword Ghost didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In order to punish Sword Ghost, the Assassin's League didn't give him any missions. Sword Ghost walked around the Cloud Cloud City and didn't find anything else. How boring and lonely! He played with the catapults on the city wall, then went to the battlefield to kill people. Sword Ghost played alone. There were so many players, but none of them were his companions. This went on until morning, and the players were very tired. The city war wasn't like the Tournament, where it was held at a fixed time every day. This event was announced last night, and there was no time to stop.
Those who stayed up all night were mostly people like Sword Ghost, who were used to playing all night long. There were also people who were prepared to stay up all night because of the city war, but after midnight, they couldn't take it anymore and retreated. Compared to last night, when the city war had just begun, the four gates were bustling with people. At this moment, all four directions looked a bit depressed.
The players who fought through the night did not come out empty-handed.
At the very least, the fact that there was a limit to the number of deaths had been revealed by the players. This situation first occurred in the direction of the South City Gate, where the battle had never stopped. Due to the repeated incidents at the northern gate, the guilds that didn't want to get involved with the major guilds had all retreated to the southern gate, which had its back to the northern gate. Even the Black Hand Alliance that moved later also chose to stay in the direction of the South City Gate. No one proposed to cooperate, and no one pretended to be a god or stood out to lead. Everyone just worked hard to attack the system. After grinding and grinding, there were finally players who realized that they were declared dead and could not be more dead, so they withdrew from the city war.
This phenomenon was like a contagious disease. After the first case, there would be a second, and then a third. The system was very fair and treated everyone equally. It was impossible for the system to specifically target a certain guild. Countless players successively reached this threshold. Among them, there were players who made inferences based on the time they stayed in the resurrection camp after death, and they finally arrived at this upper limit of death.
Twenty-five times. After a player has died 25 times, the system will declare them dead and they will be eliminated from the City War.
This news undoubtedly caused panic among the players. No matter how many times they died, as long as there was such an upper limit, it would cause people to worry. The number of players who charged recklessly on the battlefield suddenly decreased by a lot. Many people started to be careful and even hesitated to move forward. The battle situation that they originally didn't have the upper hand became even more unsightly after this setting was discovered. At dawn, when most of the players were preparing to go offline to rest, the attacking players could be said to have suffered a huge defeat.
"Go offline and rest. Come back as early as possible. The City War will probably end in a few days, so everyone will have to work hard for the next few days." There were basically similar voices in the various guilds. After the guild leader said these words before dispersing, everyone returned to the resurrection camp and went offline one after another.
Of course, the City War wouldn't completely stop just like that. Those who fought through the night went offline at this time, but those who went offline on time or those who couldn't hold on for the second half of the night rushed to the morning shift after catching up on sleep, thinking about the City War.
The City War was still going on, but it wasn't as grand as it was last night.
At this time, the City War in the entire parallel world was considered to have entered a stage, and there were already many discussions on the forum. After Brother You went offline in the morning, he habitually went to the forum to take a look. The official forum had even specially opened a City War section for the City War event. At this time, it was the most popular section. Players from various main cities were discussing the situation of the City War in their main cities.
Brother You liked to summarize information. Originally, he wanted to summarize some of the settings that he discovered during the City War on the first day and post it. In the end, he discovered that the settings that were posted by the players had already been compiled into a post by someone with intentions. This post was even pinned at the top by the moderator. It was rather eye-catching, and the content was constantly being updated.
Brother You clicked on it and took a look. For example, the death limit of 25 times had already been incorporated. Some of the settings that Brother You knew were all involved in this post. Brother You had nothing to add, so it was more appropriate to absorb some knowledge that he didn't know from here.
In the end, there was strength in numbers! Brother You sighed. However, when he looked closely, the settings were still different from city to city, and it couldn't be generalized. Especially for a main city with a special terrain like Linshui City, the City War and Cloud City were completely different things. Their attacking players were scattered to the surrounding water islands, and they sailed their ships to attack from the water. The System also sailed the ships to meet the enemy on the water. It sounded very interesting, but the players of Linshui City didn't think so.
Apart from the pinned post, most of what Brother You saw in the City War section were players complaining about the bloody and tearful history of the City War. The battle mode of each city was different, but the results were extremely similar. All of them were defeated by the System, and no main city saw a clear hope of victory. The one that had the most improvement was Sunset City.
The players of Sunset City used their terrain to pass through the main city's dry river in an attempt to directly drill into the main city from there. All the players in the city gathered here. They didn't attack the city gate, but the river, forcibly cutting the System's guards on both sides. They resisted the System's pincer attack and stone smashing, vowing to die to climb in.
However, when they crawled to the front, they discovered that the shameless System had already blocked the river. But the players of Sunset City didn't give up. They believed that this was a way to win, and they were prepared to dig through the river with one heart. According to the poster, by the time he posted, he had already dug a big hole, and everyone believed that they would dig through sooner or later. This spirit of persevering in labor in the face of the System's killing was unanimously praised by the players who replied. Many main city players said that they wanted to learn this spirit and go back to digging through the wall.
Brother You also looked at the matter of the outer city as a joke. He searched through the sea of posts and finally found something about Cloud City. The post with the most clicks and replies made Brother You sigh in admiration. Thousand Miles, Thousand Miles, you're really so bright and outstanding no matter what.
What the players of Cloud City were discussing was the appearance of the defending players in their main city.
The defending players might not be unique to Cloud City. Apart from Gu Fei and Sword Ghoul, it was currently known that Apple Vinegar, Broken Water Arrow, Xiaolei, and others had entered the camp. From this, it could be seen that the camp already existed. In the absence of a clear notification from the System, there were still many people who had mixed into the camp because of luck.
But the problem was that such people were definitely in the minority. Like Xiaolei, he was just a defending player. What kind of storm could he cause? He just swept the streets, picked up stones, and pushed his cart to deliver goods. He didn't attract any attention at all.
Only Gu Fei alone had stirred up a storm of blood. The two biggest guilds of Cloud Cloud City had been drenched in this bloody rain and foul wind. Cloud City's player was unknown. In any case, the post was from the perspective of the two big guilds. He was trying his best to accuse A Thousand Miles Drunk. The more people looked at it, the more they felt that this person was the enemy of the two big guilds.
Since the System had set up A Thousand Miles Drunk as the defending side, then it wasn't too much for him to attack the attacking players. What was there to accuse him of? It was just that he had single-handedly defeated two big guilds. He was just a bit too strong, but when did being strong become a mistake? Brother You looked closely at the players' replies and found that the players didn't hate A Thousand Miles Drunk's actions. They also didn't sympathize with Cloud City's players. What they were concerned about was: Why was A Thousand Miles Drunk so strong? One person against a thousand, how could the other players survive?
Could this actually be Black A Thousand Miles's? Brother You thought to himself. Based on the final direction of the post, the players were ultimately focused on the excessive power of A Thousand Miles Drunk. That was why they were indignant.
Using the players' public opinion to attack A Thousand Miles, was that the Harmony Ghost's doing? Brother You thought of Ye Xiaowu's group.
In the game, the elite players of the big guilds had stayed up all night. Most of them had gone offline to rest. But in the midst of Cloud City's players, Against the Current's leader, still hadn't gone offline. Not only did they not look tired, but they were also full of energy.
They didn't stay up all night. In the few hours that they pulled all-nighters, these characters took turns to go offline to rest. Some rested more, some rested less, but no matter what, they were far more energetic than the players who were still hanging on after pulling all-nighters.
Directly opposite the north gate, on the abandoned Camp 3, the 212 players of the guild were gathered against the current. These were the core members of the guild that he trusted deeply. Against the Current could all call out the names of these 212 people. They could be said to be the mainstay of Cloud City's Drinking and Singing. These 212 people might not have an absolutely balanced allocation of classes, but they had absolute loyalty to the guild. Against the Current believed that there wouldn't be any half-hearted slackers among these 212 people.
At this time, they were gathered here for the guild's important mission.
This time, Against the Current was completely cautious. He didn't even speak in the guild channel. The 212 people were divided into three teams. Against the Current, Fan Ziling, and a Wizard called Sea Breeze each led a team.
Against the Current stood together with Fan Ziling and Sea Breeze. The topics that the three of them discussed were directly transferred to the guild channel. If they had any opinions, they could reply.
"This is the place? Are you sure? "Against the Current said.
"I'm sure! I've asked many people to confirm, this is the place. "Sea Breeze said.
The three of them formed a triangle. In the middle was an empty space, an empty space that belonged to the third camp. This small area had its own function: log off and save. Because of this function, it was fortunate enough to become the place where A Thousand Miles Drunk went offline. As a result, Against the Current had his eyes on this place.
To fight A Thousand Miles Drunk head-on? Not to mention the danger, the key was whether or not they could find A Thousand Miles Drunk to fight against him. As a result, while A Thousand Miles Drunk went offline, Against the Current found a good opportunity: to directly go offline, wait for him to come back online, and then directly ambush him.
Normally, this kind of situation wouldn't happen because under normal circumstances, the offline area was a safe zone. They couldn't even touch it, let alone ambush it. But now, the special thing about city battles was that there were no safe zones. Against the Current felt that this was a chance for them to eliminate A Thousand Miles Drunk with the least amount of losses. They couldn't miss it.
Of course, eliminating wasn't his main goal. Against the Current was still for his mission. The mission that was 30 Miles Away.
According to everyone's analysis, this mission required them to kill A Thousand Miles Drunk in order to obtain the next step of information from Gilgino. Or they could directly obtain the mission item from A Thousand Miles Drunk's death. In order to be foolproof, Against the Current thought of this method. When A Thousand Miles Drunk went offline, it was very eye-catching. At that time, he was the center of attention, so they easily found out where he went offline and Against the Current. In order to be cautious, and to seek confirmation from many sources, they circled an area that was enough for 10 A Thousand Miles Drunk to go offline.
Against the Current believed that there wouldn't be any mistakes, so they led the players to carefully set up this coordinate area.
"Traps, set everything that can be set, line up to the max, and let him step on it as soon as he comes online." Fan Ziling commanded.
"If he falls into a trap, can he still teleport?" Someone asked.
"I don't know …" No one knew how to teleport.
"The distance of teleportation is 6 meters." Sea Breeze said, "Let's use this area as the center and stand in a circle with a radius of 6 meters. Sorcerers, practice for a bit. This radius should be enough to cover and instantly kill A Thousand Miles Drunk. "
"Wait, if we set the trap now, what if other players come online and step on it?" One of the players who set the trap thought of something.
"This … would rather kill the wrong person than let him go?" Fan Ziling asked Against the Current.
"I have A Thousand Miles Drunk as a friend, so there will be a system notification when he comes online. However, if I am careless, or if I give the order too late, or if everyone's reaction is too slow … "This was a serious matter, so Against the Current decided to be more ruthless. He nodded his head," Let's do it this way. If anyone comes up, kill them. It probably won't be so coincidental, how many people will go offline at this place? "
"These unlucky fellows can also be a good practice for us." Sea Breeze's thoughts were even more ruthless.
"Archers and Sorcerers are the main attackers. The other classes are on standby to deal with unexpected situations." Against the Current gave the final order.
"I believe there won't be any unexpected situations. I don't believe he can still escape like this." Fan Ziling was full of confidence.
Now, all they had to do was wait. Warriors, Thieves, Paladins, Priests, and other classes could relax a little, but the Mages and Archers had to pay full attention. No one dared to imagine what would happen if they were careless and Thousand Leagues Drunk reacted. Emergency? Could they really deal with it? There were only 212 people here … Success or failure depended on this one move! Everyone was very clear in their hearts.
"What time did A Thousand Miles Drunk set up last night?"
"Around 11 o 'clock?"
"Sleeping for eight hours isn't enough, why isn't he online yet?"
"He still needs to eat breakfast, right?"
"Then he should be done eating!"
"Don't tell me he has to go to the Internet Cafe without a computer at home?"
"Is he not online because of something?"
"Why isn't he here yet?"
In the blink of an eye, it was already 10 o 'clock. After seven or eight o' clock, the desolate morning market gradually became lively again. Those who had a routine life basically chose to go online at this time. Gu Fei should have appeared around this time, but he was still nowhere to be seen. However, no one had come online at the center of the circle until now. However, in the six-meter radius area, there would be a white flash of light from time to time. Some of these people were in the city war, while others were not. However, when they came online and saw this situation, they were all shocked. Those who were in the Drinking and Singing group did not say much, casually making way for them to leave. The players saw the murderous looks of this group, and no one dared to ask anything.
At 10: 30, another half an hour passed. While everyone was complaining, a white light suddenly appeared in the center of the circle.
"Attention!!!" Upstream's shout lifted everyone's spirits. Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and they immediately went all out. Tracking arrows and AoE spells blasted down in one go. The sound of traps popping could be heard. They did not see who appeared in the white light, because the white light had already appeared again, and the person disappeared without showing his face. Only then did Upstream Flow glance at his friends list. No, Thousand Miles Drunk was not online.
"It's not …" Upstream announced regretfully, but he realized that everyone was not very dejected. They had been lonely for so long, and killing anyone was also a good exercise! Everyone was excited for a while, and then they cleaned up and organized what needed to be organized.
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed, and the white light appeared again. At the same time, Upstream felt as if he heard the sound of a system notification. He suddenly had a wonderful premonition, but he still seriously reminded everyone loudly, "Attention!!!"
It was still a tracking arrow, an AoE spell, and the white light enveloped the opponent. Who was it? Before they could see clearly, the person had already disappeared, but Upstream quickly looked at the system notification and excitedly announced, "It's definitely A Thousand Miles Drunk!!!"
"Damn!!!" Everyone was excited. They had actually succeeded in killing A Thousand Miles Drunk, although it was an extremely shameless method.
"Damn, so ruthless …" Gu Fei, who was sent to the resurrection point as soon as he came online, was very embarrassed. He was actually hated to this extent, ambushing him at the place where he went offline and attacking him as soon as he came online … Who was it? Gu Fei did not even see the person.

[Butterfly Knot: Actually, I really don't want Gu Fei to die, but with such an ambush, I can't think of any way for him to escape …]
