The sound of swords and screams could be heard everywhere, and the air was filled with the choking smell of burnt houses.
The smell of smoke mixed with the strong smell of blood, irritating the taste buds and making the players nauseous.
The sharp light of a sword flashed.
A female Elven Warrior in silver armor elegantly passed through several Orcs with their weapons raised high like a vigorous cheetah.
Behind her was a blurry afterimage and a moonlight like brilliance.
Skill — Moonlight Slash.
Then … she stood up easily.
She slowly retracted her sword.
Behind her, there was the sound of blood spurting out.
Several Orcs did not even have time to wield their weapons before they fell to the ground and turned into ashes.
At this time, the female Elven Warrior elegantly swung her sword and flung the blood on the ground.
She gently flicked her ponytail that was slightly messy from the sprint just now, but there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"Clap, clap, clap …"
A series of applause came from behind the female Elven Warrior, accompanied by an envious and emotional exclamation.
"Instant kill … Jasmine, you're getting stronger."
It was a male Elf wearing a priest's robe.
Hearing the voice behind her, the female Elven Warrior rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Caesar, it's not that I'm strong, but they're too weak."
The conversation was between the Fourth Beta Players, Jasmine and Caesar.
For such a large-scale mission, they naturally participated in the battle and joined Nature's Heart's army.
It had been three days since the start of the second attack.
In these three days, the players had been unstoppable, tearing apart the Orcs' sphere of influence with more momentum than the first attack.
In just a few days, the 150,000 Orcs had rushed for nearly 400 kilometers.
Every time the gamers encountered an Orc tribe, apart from the initial resistance, the Orc tribes would crumble in the end …
In contrast, the players became more courageous as they fought, maximizing their Blitzkrieg and cavalry mobility.
Every hour, there would be a half-beastman tribe that would be wiped out by the players.
Today, this was the 56th Orc tribe that the players had attacked.
Of course, most of these tribes were small tribes with less than 1,000 people. There were less than three medium-sized tribes with 5,000 people.
The Redsand Tribe was one of them.
However, even though it was a medium-sized tribe, the entire tribe was defeated in less than an hour under the siege of the Nature's Heart army.
A few days ago, the players wouldn't have expected this.
But now, it was happening.
But the players weren't surprised at all.
This was because they weren't fighting normal half-orc warriors.
Jasmine Undermoon collected the loot from the orcs into her Space Ring and looked around.
In other places, the battle was still ongoing.
In every battle, the players were suppressing the Orcs.
This didn't mean that the players' strength had soared again.
It was just that the Beastmen were too weak.
If one observed closely, they would discover that the Orcs fighting the gamers were different from the Orc warriors.
Although they fought to the death without retreating, most of them were elderly and some were obviously disabled. There were even some female Orcs who rarely appeared among the warriors and were physically weaker than the male Orcs.
They didn't have a complete set of equipment.
Some of them only wore simple linen clothes and wielded blunt machetes as they fought with the players.
Of course, such enemies were no match for the fully-armed and powerful players.
Crushing.
It was a crushing defeat.
However, Jasmine Undermoon was not the least bit interested in such a battle.
She liked battles.
She liked one-on-one duels.
But she was more interested in fighting against strong opponents.
She didn't like facing a group of weaklings who didn't have a complete set of equipment and were weaker than her.
Not only was there no sense of accomplishment in killing such enemies, but she also didn't gain much EXP.
This situation had actually started two days ago.
After the players launched their second round of attacks, they gradually found that the number of Orc warriors they encountered was gradually decreasing.
The Orcs seemed to have given up on these tribes.
They only left behind the old and the weak to defend the tribes while the young and strong retreated.
Jasmine Undermoon shook her head as she looked at the battles around her.
"Boring battles."
Jasmine Undermoon hated such battles.
But many players liked it.
Torturing noobs was a wonderful thing for many people.
Even if the opponent was an NPC.
The public beta players who had low levels were the most excited about this.
They laughed as they chased after the Orcs who were less than Middle-level Dark Iron. Even those who were Middle-level Dark Iron were mostly old and weak.
The screams of the Orcs could be heard everywhere in the tribe.
For some reason, Jasmine Undermoon felt even more irritated when she heard the screams.
Her irritation reached its peak when she saw the players using extreme means to kill the Orcs.
Her expression became even gloomier than before.
"Jasmine, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood. "
Kaiser noticed the girl's gloominess and asked worriedly.
Jasmine Undermoon sighed.
"Nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I see the players fighting …"
Kaiser was slightly taken aback. He looked around and his eyes flashed with a hint of realization.
"You think that some of the players' methods are too bloody and cruel, right?"
Jasmine Undermoon hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding her head.
She sighed and said:
"This isn't the first time."
"I think you've noticed it along the way. As we go deeper into the tribe, the players are using all kinds of methods to kill the Orcs … especially after the second wave of attacks."
"When we faced the Orc Warriors, we fought fair and square. But now that we're facing the weak, old, sick, and disabled, many people are becoming more and more violent …"
"I know that this is a game, and I know that we're facing fierce enemies. I also know that we're only facing data …"
"But when I see such cruel scenes, I still feel uncomfortable …"
"Maybe … the AI in Elven Nation is so good that I can't completely see them as data … even if they're enemies. Sometimes, I even suspect that this is a real world. "
"I used to think that battles in games are full of passion and passion, but I didn't expect to see such scenes …"
"Not only that, but when I see these Orcs fighting for their homeland, even if they're weak, they're willing to risk their lives … Gradually, even I feel a little moved."
"Even if I know that this is a game, even if I know that they're enemies … I still feel a little pity."
"Maybe … I'm a little bit of a saint in me."
Jasmine Undermoon said self-deprecatingly.
Kaiser was speechless.
He stretched out his hand and patted the girl's shoulder.
"No, it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. When faced with such bloody and cruel scenes, many people would feel uncomfortable. Otherwise … why would there be a mosaic mode in the game?"
"As for what you said, I'm also moved. When I saw those Orcs fighting to the death to protect their tribe, I also felt that they were worthy of respect."
"But … this is war, and there's no right or wrong in war. The cruel methods you saw are also common in real wars, let alone in games …"
"Jasmine, perhaps you don't know much about the history of our world … Apart from our dynasty's army, the armies of other countries have also tortured and killed their enemies in war."
"Let alone torturing and killing enemies, there were even massacring cities, especially in ancient times."
"In the depths of everyone's heart, there's a beast. Usually, they're restricted by rules and regulations, but once they're released, many people who lack self-control will turn into demons …"
"War is an era where rules are broken, and games are similar to war. There are no rules that restrict everyone, and there are no moral restraints …"
"This is true in real life, let alone in games."
"In this kind of situation, anything is possible. In the eyes of some players, they're just releasing pressure … "
"Speaking of which, I do feel that this is very similar to the war in the real world …"
Kaiser sighed slightly.
"Real wars …"
Jasmine Undermoon muttered.
She smiled bitterly.
"If that's the case, then I hope this game doesn't make it so realistic …"
Kaiser raised his eyebrows.
"Then I suggest you lower the realism, the mosaic. If you adjust the mosaic to the maximum, the game's image quality will be lowered … If the image quality is distorted, the discomfort will be reduced a lot."
"But I'm addicted to the realistic image quality."
Jasmine Undermoon said.
Kaiser was speechless.
"Then there's no solution. Women are so troublesome."
He rolled his eyes.
"Are you looking for a beating?"
Jasmine Undermoon drew her weapon.
Kaiser hurriedly held his head and begged for mercy.
Jasmine Undermoon shook her head and slowly lowered her sword. She smiled bitterly and said:
"To be honest, looking at this situation, I feel that the reputation of the Elves will be completely ruined by us."
"Hasn't it been ruined since a long time ago? Since the day of Descent. "
Kaiser rubbed his nose.
Jasmine Undermoon was speechless.
"Sigh … I can't continue chatting with you. I'll slowly get used to it."
She sighed softly.
"Don't, let's continue chatting!"
Kaiser teased.
Jasmine Undermoon rolled her eyes at him and quickened her pace.
After taking a few steps, the two suddenly heard a commotion in front of them.
"What's going on in front?"
Kaiser raised his eyebrows.
Jasmine Undermoon looked at the minimap and said:
"Based on experience, it should be the Orcs' main tent …"
"Maybe some players are in trouble. Let's go take a look."
Having said that, she drew her weapon, activated the [Haste] effect on her shoes, and rushed forward.
"Hey! Wait for me! "
Kaiser waved his staff and hurriedly followed after her.
The two moved very quickly and arrived at the place where the commotion was coming from.
Just as Jasmine Undermoon had guessed, it was the Orcs' main tent!
More than 20 players were standing in a circle, vigilantly and excitedly looking at the main tent in front of them. At the entrance of the main tent stood a strong Orc.
It was a half-orc with a head full of white hair and a face full of crisscrossing wrinkles.
He wore leather armor that looked quite old and held a rusty steel sword in his hand as he stood guard in front of the main tent.
He was as majestic as a mountain.
In front of him were some gorgeous blood-stained equipment.
Those equipment belonged to the players.
It was obvious that many players had been killed by this Orc.
When Jasmine Undermoon saw this Orc, her gloomy mood suddenly brightened.
This Orc was a powerful Orc Warrior!
She could sense that this Orc's aura was much stronger than hers. It was likely that he had reached the Mid-level Silver rank.
However, he was too old and his body exuded an aura of aging and decay.
Even so, the surrounding players still looked as if they were about to face a great enemy.
At the same time, their discussion could be heard.
"Damn! I didn't expect there to be an Orc Boss here! "
"That was an instant kill, right? Two max level bosses were killed in a second! "
"Should we go? Together? "
"Should we call for help? This is a Silver rank! I feel like we'll just be cannon fodder … "
The players discussed among themselves.
However, no one dared to step forward.
Jasmine Undermoon looked around and found that there was no other Silver rank player besides her.
Not only that, most of these players were beta players. Only a few of them were max level players, and their combat experience was lacking.
With such strength … they were no match for a veteran Silver rank player.
When Jasmine Undermoon looked at the players, they also noticed her.
Many of them were surprised.
"Wow! It's Boss Jasmine! "
"Valkyrie!"
"Boss Jasmine is here! We're not afraid of him anymore! "
The players were excited.
After the second round of attacks, they had not encountered a Silver rank Orc for a long time.
Now that he had encountered a Silver-ranked half-orc, and this half-orc was still guarding the main tent, it meant that there must be something good inside!
They quickly sent out invitations to Jasmine Undermoon.
"Boss! Please support us! "
"Let's work together. Once we defeat him, we'll split the items inside the main tent with you!"
These 20 players seemed to be from a small guild.
However, Jasmine Undermoon shook her head after listening to the players' pleas.
"I'll come alone. You guys are too weak."
The players were speechless.
They opened their mouths, but in the end, they obediently stepped aside.
They had just witnessed the strength of this old Orc and knew that Jasmine Undermoon was telling the truth.
At this time, the old Orc also looked at Jasmine Undermoon.
He leaned on his rusty broadsword and chuckled.
"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful Warrior among the Elves. It seems … I'm really getting old."
"Of course, times have changed."
Jasmine Undermoon said.
She drew her longsword and her expression instantly turned serious. She then reported her name.
"Jasmine Undermoon, Lower Silver rank Elven Warrior."
The old Orc's expression also turned serious.
"Red Sand Tribe's former High Priest, Thunder Iron, Intermediate Silver rank."
He was actually the former High Priest of this tribe …
Jasmine Undermoon was speechless.
A High Priest who looked like a Warrior was indeed strange.
After hearing the old Orc's words, Caesar, who was standing behind Jasmine Undermoon, could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"Eh? High Priest? But he's a non-believer … Aren't all High Priests believers? "
Non-believer?
Jasmine Undermoon was stunned and looked at Caesar.
Caesar's eyes were emitting a faint glow. It was the appearance of [Eye of Faith] when it was activated.
"Believer?"
The old Orc sneered.
His expression turned gloomy and said with a hint of desolation.
"God has abandoned us … abandoned the Red Sand Tribe …"
"So …"
"I'm no longer a believer."
After saying that, his eyes turned cold and he raised his broadsword again.
"Come, if you want to enter the main tent, you'll have to step over my dead body …"
