On the 29th day of the Darkness invasion in Version 2.0, other than the southeastern region of the Legendary continent, all the other forces that were surrounded by the Darkness invasion had fallen.
Not a single small duchy, neutral force, or race could survive the Darkness Invasion.
On this day, however, not only had the player forums fallen silent, but even the top powers of the nine continents were in disbelief.
When many players opened the official website, they saw the most prominent headline on the official website of Gods!
It was a list of the Darkness Invasion's attacks.
At this moment, the hundreds of names on the list had all turned black. Only the Southeast Region was still shining.
The City of Dawn was ranked first, while the Black Lava Dukedom was ranked second. There was no one in third. Both of them had the word "Victory" written behind them.
What is this!
This was not a pyrrhic victory. They had almost been annihilated by the Darkness Invasion.
Other than the southeastern region of the Legendary Continent, which was controlled by the living beings of the continent, the rest of the dark list had all fallen into the enemy's hands. There were hundreds of millions of casualties, and the losses were incalculable.
But no matter what.
The official website's actions had made the Chinese players proud.
Of course, the Chinese players knew that they did not have any advantage in the Darkness invasion.
Battles were fought with brute force, and the fortifications were planned. Enemies that were too powerful were defeated by the NPCs. The City of Dawn had many trump cards and tricks, which were the key to victory.
Hence …
Many posts about the City of Dawn appeared on various forums.
Because the players seemed to have discovered a problem.
Was it possible that William Blackleaf was not only one of the main characters of version 1.0, but also the ultimate main character of version 2.0?
Everything that the City of Dawn had done during the Darkness invasion was worthy of the name of the City of Dawn!
Without the City of Dawn, the invasion of the dark creatures would have ended in complete victory.
Some even asked, "If the Lord of the City of Dawn doesn't die, will he be the main character in Version 3.0 and 4.0?"
Of course, there were people who thought so, and there were people who refuted it.
His opinion was that the Lord of the City of Dawn was a neutral lord. He could not extend his influence into the continent.
The next version definitely couldn't take place in the beginner's village. Then, as one of the main characters of China's version 1.0 and the final main character of the Nine Continents' version 2.0, he would probably slowly disappear from the players' eyes.
He became a neutral lord that gradually became mediocre. He became a memory for the players, an idol for the players, and a target that the players could bully in the future …
It wasn't wrong for the players to think this way. Even the Chinese players didn't refute it.
This was because it was not easy to replace the boss of one's faction unless it was in the later stages of the game. Moreover, the earlier the game was, the faster the protagonist would die.
After all, NPCs usually did not grow as fast as players!
It could be said that even if William did not die and lived to the end, the City of Dawn would belong to the players. It could only be used as a beginner's village …
China Forum.
"I miss it. Even though it's still far from version 3.0, every time I remember that our novice village is the City of Dawn, I can't help but feel proud."
"Of course. Hurry up and farm the Fire Dragon Blood. Whether it's for your own use or to exchange for the remnant pages of the secret manual, it's of utmost importance. As for the Contribution Points, forget about it. The goal is to empty His Highness' capital as soon as possible. Anyway, we probably won't be staying in the City of Dawn in the next version! "
Many players had the same thought.
Professional players and large Guilds weren't the only ones who understood this. Even ordinary players understood that the Darkness Invasion was just a prelude. It was a super quest that all players had to face when they were new players.
Next, they would use the City of Dawn as a springboard to enter the center of the continent. They would participate in the main storyline of the version and countless side missions.
As for William?
Sorry, it's just the Village Chief of the Novice Village. I've forgotten.
It couldn't be helped. The players were just that realistic …
…
William did not feel anything when he saw the players doing this. Besides the Chinese players, the players from other continents had started to interact with the Grand Duchies.
After all, the small duchies had fallen due to the Darkness Invasion. They had no choice but to change their Factions.
There were big and small Factions.
The smallest Faction was one's best friend, followed by one's guild, followed by one's country, followed by the entire continent, and lastly, the Light and Darkness Factions.
Among the many Factions, besides the desperate Darkness Invasion, there were countless Factions of various sizes.
There were too many conflicts between the Factions.
It was very rare for someone to stay in the same Faction for a long period of time.
Unless that Faction was very strong and could keep up with the game version, it would continue to create legendary events that would affect the entire continent.
For example.
The Temple of Light, the Palace of Darkness, the Sacred Magic Union, and the Mercenary Guild.
"The current goal of the City of Dawn is to become one of these top forces. It's very difficult to achieve, but we can take it slow." William saw that many players on the forum had the intention to go to the Emerald Grand Duchy. He was not too worried.
After all, the aftermath of the Darkness Invasion had not yet dissipated.
The entire game version 2.0 was a counterattack against the Darkness Invasion. However, the Chinese players were killing the dark creatures. After all, the Darkness Invasion BOSS had been killed by William. There were no follow-up main storyline missions …
The players of the City of Dawn had to complete various side missions. However, the missions that William issued usually had high rewards of experience and gold coins. The players were still earning. It was not time for them to leave the Faction yet.
On the balcony, William lazily lay on the rocking chair and muttered, "Crimson Blood!"
Crimson Blood was the main storyline title of version 3.0.
However, the timeline was not that tight. There was a span of two years between version 2.0 and version 3.0.
After version 2.0 ended, the players would go offline and update the game. The game world would develop independently for two years. After the magic of the nine continents was restored, the players would come online again.
What was the Crimson Blood?
Or rather …
The Emerald Grand Duchy had hidden itself well!
The nobles, soldiers, and professionals of the Emerald Grand Duchy and the neighboring Grand Duchies were all vampires.
That was right.
They were vampires.
They were a group of perverted nobles who sucked the blood of their slaves.
They were born in the distant first era!
They were created by a Blood Dragon that was comparable to the Gods. Of course, outsiders called them vampires. They called themselves the Blood Race. They were the slaves and descendants of the Blood Dragon.
At the end of the first era, after the Dragon race left the continent, the Blood Race hid in the Gods' continent. Although there were often rumors of vampires, few people had seen them.
That was because this group of old and undying fellows were now in high positions and had become great nobles of the human race. Not only were they powerful, but their influence was also extremely powerful!
For example, in the Emerald Grand Duchy, besides the commoners and slaves, most of the professionals with high combat power were vampires …
"What a troublesome opponent." William could not help but feel a headache when he thought about the abilities of the vampires.
The vampires had many tricks up their sleeves. For example, they could use bats to escape and suck blood to recover their Health Points. Even if they did not suck blood, they had super fast recovery abilities.
Besides being afraid of various light and thunder attribute attacks, the vampires had no weaknesses.
"Version 3.0 is still far away. I'll take it slow." William scratched his head. He thought of the Blood Dragon and suddenly remembered that he still had a dragon egg in the hands of Moses!
"Gosh, did he eat it?" William suddenly stood up and hurried to the fortune-telling shop.
