The crackling flames soared into the sky and lit up half of the sky.
The billowing black smoke continued to rise, and a pungent smell filled the air.
Eve looked at the Orc tribe that was gradually engulfed by the flames. She shook her head as she heard the whistles and laughter from all around.
"Let's go."
She said.
"Okay."
Salty Meow nodded.
She took a deep breath and shouted in the battle channel of her Guild Army, "Comrades, we're done.
"Comrades, it's about time. Pack up and retreat!"
Her clear and loud voice spread throughout the entire battle channel …
Following Little Salty Meow's command, all the players immediately sprang into action.
They brought their plentiful loot and Orc captives with them as they moved toward the northern part of the tribe.
There was a tunnel that the Crypt Spiders had created that led directly to the players' campsite. It was also the entrance for them to invade the Orc tribe.
The players squeezed like ants to the entrance of the crypt. They lined up and entered the crypt one by one …
After the last player left, the Crypt Spiders swarmed in.
At the same time, they once again covered the exit of the tunnel.
Another round of ambushing the Orc tribe came to a successful end.
The underground tunnel that the Crypt Spiders created was long and narrow.
The players cast Illumination Spells, rode on the Crypt Spiders, or used Speed Magic to advance quickly underground.
It was not until more than an hour later that they finally returned to the surface. In the campsite.
Compared to a few days ago, the campsite of the players had undergone great changes.
An eight-meter-tall and four-meter-wide earthen wall had been built around the campsite.
It was built by the players with the help of Magic using the local sand and obsidian. The designer was Cuckoo Bird.
The earthen wall surrounded the entire campsite. From above, it looked like a hexagram. Combined with the path in the campsite, it looked like a huge Magic Array.
On top of the earthen wall, there were simple battlements and Crossbow Carts. At every section of the earthen wall, there was an earthen platform that was about eleven to twelve meters high. On the platform, there were modified Catapults.
At the same time, there were hundreds of flags fluttering in the cold wind on the earthen wall.
There were different and exquisite designs on the flags, which belonged to the various player guilds.
Inside the camp, the tents of the players had been reorganized and divided into several large areas according to the Guild. Flat roads were also built between the different tents.
The roads radiated out and converged at the center of the campsite, at an open square.
In the center of the square was a high platform, on which a statue of Eve was enshrined.
Below the high platform was an altar with a square module engraved with complicated magical patterns that glowed brilliantly.
It was a city's defensive core that could construct a defensive barrier of divine spells.
The core was neither seized nor made by the players. Salty Meow had convinced The Black Dragon Merril to slack off and take it down from the Black Dragon's castle.
It was all to save time …
With the city's defensive core and the statue of the true god, it meant that they could cast defensive divine spells.
Once the war started, the players could activate the power in the statue and activate the defensive barrier of divine spells. Although it would not be as powerful as Sandstorm City, it could strengthen the earthen wall that they had built.
At this point, the defensive power of the players' campsite had been formed.
From afar, it no longer looked like a temporary campsite. Instead, it looked like a simple fortress.
Looking at the changes in the campsite, Eve was very satisfied.
All this work took the players less than seven days. It could be said that the construction speed was comparable to that of the Celestial Empire.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the rich construction experience that the players had accumulated.
With the construction of the City of Heaven's Chosen and the renovation of several Elven cities, building a city was no longer a problem for the players.
The return of the Mengmeng Committee's army did not cause much of a stir in the campsite.
Apart from the players who wanted to purchase specialties, most of the players were already used to the actions of the major guilds. They only took a few glances and continued with their own business.
The entire campsite was very noisy and lively, like a market.
However, the place with the most people was the square in the middle of the campsite.
Because of the distance, it was inconvenient for the players to return to the Elven Forest. As a place to worship the statue of the goddess, in a sense, this place gradually became the center of activity for the players.
Exchange equipment, exchange skills, apply for class change, bind equipment …
All these things had to be done here.
At the same time, there were many players who were AFK in the square. Some were even holding a bonfire party. Laughter and music were continuous.
In addition, because almost all the players in the entire server had gathered in the campsite, some players with business savvy even opened shops around the square. There were hawking and purchasing sounds everywhere.
It was not like a campsite, but more like a small town that was gradually rising.
It was very prosperous.
Standing here, even Eve suddenly had the illusion that she had returned to the central square of the City of Heaven's Chosen.
This made her sigh that the players' adaptability and creativity were really strong.
She originally thought that the players would feel uncomfortable here because they were familiar with the convenience of the City of Heaven's Chosen. She didn't expect that even a campsite could be transformed by them into a sparrow with all the essentials …
Eve had no doubt that if they were given a few more months, this place would no longer be a campsite, but a real city!
The golden-red sun continued to set in the west, coating the desert with a layer of intoxicating orange.
The folds of sand and stones were like solidified waves, constantly extending to the distant horizon …
Eve stood on the earthen wall of the campsite and looked into the distance.
Her gaze gradually stopped at the Sandstorm City hidden in the darkness in the south.
"It's about to begin."
She muttered.
As if responding to Eve's muttering, after a while, the originally lively campsite suddenly had a commotion …
Immediately after, Eve noticed that Li Mu hurried to the earthen wall and looked around.
When he saw Eve, his eyes lit up slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Lady Zero, we've received information that the Orcs will launch an attack tomorrow morning!
"However, we don't know how many troops they will send out for the time being."
Being connected to the underground world was Sandstorm City's advantage, but it was also its weakness.
For the underground world's black market merchants, there was nothing that money couldn't buy.
The players could get in touch with the black market merchants to obtain the statue of Holdl, and similarly, they could also obtain internal information about Sandstorm City.
If not for the fact that the Orcs at least knew to check the identity of the entrants, there would have been bold players disguised as black market merchants to sneak into Sandstorm City to cause trouble …
After hearing Li Mu's words, Eve nodded slightly.
"I understand."
"Then prepare for battle. Consider the worst-case scenario. They may very well turn out in full force."
"Before the Mythical Power appears, it's up to you how much damage you can cause to the Orcs."
Li Mu nodded heavily, looking excited.
"Yes!"
…
The news that the Orcs were about to take the initiative to attack quickly spread throughout the campsite.
And the originally relaxed and lively campsite quickly turned into a state of war.
The bonfire party ended, the trading ended, the AFK ended …
The players were excited, and their eyes were filled with anticipation for the war.
The operation plan this time was no longer a secret in the entire server.
And the Orcs' decision to attack meant that they had taken the bait.
The real decisive battle was likely to come.
This battle was likely to directly affect the direction of the entire war!
The higher-ups of the various guilds began to mobilize, summoning their guild members to prepare for war.
And the players who were online also called their friends, contacted their offline friends, and reminded them to get ready to go online.
The entire campsite was like a huge war machine, slowly operating.
The war mobilization lasted for nearly three hours before it slowly ended.
The originally noisy campsite gradually fell into silence.
Only the flickering lights and a few figures were still flickering in the darkness.
Most of the players had gone offline.
They needed to conserve their energy and prepare for the next day's battle.
The night … passed quickly.
…
The red sun in the desert was like a huge, boiling red agate, radiant and enchanting.
The light shone on the yellowish-brown mud walls, and the howling morning wind rustled the flags.
Morning arrived.
The players put on their equipment and walked out of their tents.
They greeted each other and yawned lazily.
At the same time, they could be heard complaining from time to time.
"Seriously … I feel like if this happens a few more times, I really won't be able to distinguish between the time in the game and reality."
"I can now confirm that the plot of this game is definitely not designed in advance! Otherwise, the time of the war would definitely not be so crazy … "
"I think it's a problem with the planning …"
"Damn, thinking speed acceleration! You'll get used to it. You won't be sleepy after a few seconds of adapting to the game. And while we're playing here, we'll still catch up on sleep in reality, right? "
"Okay …"
It was hard on them.
Unlike the early morning world of Segers, it was still three o 'clock in the morning in Bluestar. Many players set their alarms and directly got out of bed in order to participate in the war as soon as possible.
Although their bodies on the Bluestar could still enter a state of sleep after entering the game, anyone could not help but feel sleepy after doing this in the middle of the night.
Not only that, but there were also many people who were not in a good state of mind when they went online because they were too excited and could not sleep.
Of course, they only moved a little and quickly became energetic.
The players only had their consciousness when they arrived in the world of Segers.
The moment their consciousness was separated from their bodies, the negative state of their bodies naturally could not affect them.
And for some of the liver emperors in Elven Nation.
As long as the body monitoring system in the stealth cabin did not alert them, they could even stay in the game until the end of time …
Back to the present.
As time went by, more and more players went online.
The number of people online in the Battlefield Channel gradually approached 100,000.
Unlike the previous battles where the army was divided, this time, it was a true battle of 100,000 troops.
No matter how much they complained, the players were all rubbing their shoulders and rubbing their palms in anticipation.
The quiet camp gradually became lively again.
"Are the trebuchets and crossbows checked? And the Magic Rock Explosives! "
"Okay, okay! They're all in place! "
"How's the Divine Defense Barrier? Can it operate normally? "
"No problem!"
"Is there anyone not on the Battlefield Channel? Hurry up and come online! The public chat is urging you! "
"Coming! Coming! "
"Is there anyone not online on your side? Hurry up and call them to come online! "
"F * ck, won't we be scolded if we call in the middle of the night? It's only 3: 30 AM … "
"Of course we won't call if we don't tell them in advance! Wake up those who said they would come online but didn't come! I'm 80% sure that they set the alarm and went back to sleep! "
"It's too real …"
The rhythmic background music once again sounded in the Battlefield Channel, stimulating everyone's nerves.
The players took their positions, and the earthen walls were quickly filled with fully armed Elves.
When they were fully prepared, the sky was already bright.
Sandstorm City, which was hidden in the darkness because of the mountains and its own color, appeared under the sunlight again …
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness and shone on the hundred-meter-tall steeple, all the players heard a loud horn.
"Woo —"
The horn was deep, vicissitudes, and profound.
When the players who had participated in the battle of the Black Dragon Castle heard the sound of the horn, their eyes lit up.
"This is the horn of the Orcs! It's their attack signal! "
"They … they're really going to attack!"
Listening to the veteran's explanation, the new players perked up.
They stretched their necks, used magic, or widened their eyes, and looked in the direction of Sandstorm City …
With a distance of 20 kilometers and various obstacles in the way, they could not see clearly.
They only vaguely noticed that there seemed to be sand billowing on the horizon.
However, Eve, who was standing on the earthen wall tower, could see the movement of Sandstorm City clearly.
The Orcs had moved.
The 200,000 Orcs stationed in four directions outside the city left their encampments. They arranged themselves into four huge military formations and began to move slowly in the direction of the players.
At the same time, the gates of Sandstorm City slowly opened. Fully armed Orc warriors poured out of the city and joined the army outside the city.
On the ground, dust and sand flew everywhere, filling the air with swirling yellow sand.
Countless flags were erected by the Orcs. Those were the symbols of the various tribes in the Desert of Death.
Huge Behemoths appeared in the Orc army. They roared, roared, and beat their hairy chests as they advanced under the escort of the army.
As far as the eye could see, it was a dark mass.
Gradually, deafening sounds began to come from afar.
Those were the footsteps of the Orc army.
The war had begun …
