Beiqi, Barren Grassland.
The army led by Sun came from the west and slowly stepped into Beiqi's territory.
In fact, the Nine Luminaries were very helpless when they announced the war with Beiqi.
They thought that the forces of Beiqi would cherish the opportunities they had given, but they did not expect that Beiqi's hostility towards them had never weakened and they were still unwilling to surrender.
Therefore, the impatient Nine Luminaries finally decided to use force.
At the same time, after some discussion, the Nine Luminaries decided to let Sun, who was ranked third, replace Yue Yao as the king of Beiqi.
Each of the brothers even sent a group of subordinates to join the Sun Army led by Sun, with the goal of helping Sun become the king of Beiqi.
Before the war, Sun learned about the current scale of Beiqi's forces from the messenger.
According to the messenger, Beiqi was not strong at the current stage, and the most difficult to deal with were the warriors of Yue Yao's original subordinates, the Moon Army.
Sun could not understand why the Moon Army refused to return. After all, the members of the Moon Army were very clear about the strength of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, and they had no chance of winning if they resisted.
Although he believed that the Moon Army was showing their loyalty to Yue Yao, he did not believe that every general would fight to the death to defend Beiqi.
While he was thinking about this problem, the army led by Glorious Sun slowly advanced toward the Land of Buried Bones.
…
Meanwhile, in the Mansion of the Dead, the players were also preparing for the war.
All the players attached great importance to this war. Even many lifestyle players joined in the battle, even providing all kinds of consumable pills and potions at cost price.
After all, the Mansion of the Dead was their home. Naturally, they would not allow their home to be trampled by foreign enemies. They also wanted to do their part.
Among them, the most popular item was the explosive pills made by the alchemist Nie Feng.
Nie Feng had accumulated a large number of explosive pills after countless failures. Initially, the players were not interested in this kind of item. Although it was powerful, it was a one-time consumable item after all, and it was very expensive. On the contrary, they thought that the explosive pills made by Nie Feng were of little value.
However, it was different now. The crisis of Beiqi had arrived, and the outcome of failure was unacceptable to most players. Moreover, Nie Feng only charged the cost price for the pills he sold this time. Hence, a large number of players came to buy them, and soon, all the explosive pills he made were sold out.
Even Nie Feng was very surprised. He didn't expect that these pills, which had failed miserably, could still recover their cost.
At the same time, the players of Beiqi had realized the importance of spiritual mines after the class of blacksmiths was activated.
Now that most of the players had changed their professions to blacksmiths, the price of spiritual ores in Beiqi had skyrocketed. In just a few days, it could be said to have doubled.
This made many players regret selling all the Spirit Ores they had plundered in the Auction House, leaving them with no usable Spirit Ores.
Because the Spirit Ore was too useful.
Now, aside from helping many players who had just advanced to the Forger class, it had also become an important strategic resource.
Compared to an Alchemist, which was a Lifestyle Profession that players had to start from scratch, a Blacksmith was completely different. This was because an extremely small portion of players had Blacksmithing experience in the real world.
Just like Lin Tie, Ou Tian, and the others.
Although they had yet to mature, they would be able to play a significant role in this battle.
Relying on the many blueprints of the war machines they bought from the shop, they had already begun to build war machines.
It wasn't that it was impossible to purchase war machines in the Shop, but that the prices of the large-scale machines in the Shop were exorbitant, and most players couldn't afford them.
However, if they were to build it themselves, their performance might not be comparable to the ones in the Shop, but the price would only be one-fifth of the price in the Shop.
The value of a Blacksmith was reflected at this moment.
…
As the Nine Luminaries Army approached, the news quickly spread among the players.
The players who were originally scattered in various areas of Beiqi had also rushed back to the Mansion of the Dead, ready to face the attack of the Nine Luminaries Army.
For this battle, the players had chosen the Burial Grounds as the place where they would fight would not destroy the ecology of the Mansion of the Dead. At the same time, they could quickly join the battle after they were resurrected. In the players' opinion, it was the most suitable place for the battle.
Soon, the army of players gathered at the entrance of the Mansion of the Dead and headed toward the Burial Grounds in units of their respective guilds or squads.
The war was imminent, and the players were not worried about death at all. The only worry they had was the loss of the Mansion of the Dead and the loss of their home in the second world.
After all, many players already had feelings for this place, and they would never allow such a situation to happen.
The two armies marched opposite each other, and after about two hours of marching, they finally met at the Burial Grounds.
Seeing the arrival of the forces of Beiqi, Sun was a little surprised. He initially thought that the forces of Beiqi would hide in the Mansion of the Dead, but he did not expect them to have the courage to take the initiative to attack.
However, a smile appeared on Sun's face because this was exactly what he wanted. As long as they were willing to leave the city, he was a hundred percent sure that he could quickly seize the Mansion of the Dead.
At this moment, the Beiqi players had a determined look on their faces as they marched forward with firm steps. The densely packed Nine Luminaries Army in the distance did not scare them at all.
Seeing that the players were taking the initiative to approach, Sun sneered and immediately levitated into the air.
"Roar!" Thousands of beasts roared, and all the warriors of the Nine Luminaries Army raised their weapons, trying to overwhelm the players with their imposing manner.
However, the players continued to advance without any change in their expressions.
There was no need for too many words in this battle. When the distance between them was shortened, the Rune Warriors in the front row began to flash in red light, and they began to run.
"Roar! Kill! "
The players used their actions to retaliate against the provocation of the Nine Luminaries Army.
"So weak!" Seeing that the players had begun to attack, the Nine Luminaries sneered and pressed down with their hands. Suddenly, the roars of beasts spread from the front to the back, echoing throughout the entire Burial Ground.
At this moment, the Nine Luminaries Army also began to charge forward, and the bloody collision between the two armies began.
At this moment, the players were no longer the naive newbies they used to be. They were already familiar with the battlefield, and they had become more mature and courageous than before.
"Brothers, the Mansion of the Dead is our home. We have too many beautiful memories here. Regardless of the outcome of today's battle, we must not regret it in the future!"
"Roar!"
The Runic Masters at the very front collided violently with the Beast Iron Cavalry. The point of collision was like a domino, spreading out to both sides for dozens of meters.
Even the sturdy beasts could not withstand the Rune Masters' all-out attack under the activation of the Power Gem. They fell to the ground in droves, and the warriors on their backs were flung away.
In the first confrontation, even the powerful Nine Luminaries Army did not have the slightest advantage.
However, this was just the beginning. The battle had officially begun.
At this moment, Sun, who was floating in the air, looked coldly at the Beiqi players below.
Although he was surprised that they dared to resist him, he did not have the slightest doubt about the victory of this battle because he was confident that he would win.
Sun took out a purple necklace from his neck. With a gentle tug, he pulled out a gem from the groove of the necklace.
Then, his figure flashed and appeared at the back of the Nine Luminaries Army. He crushed the diamond-shaped gem in his hand.
Suddenly, the gem shone with a dazzling light. The trajectory of the Law of Space was formed, shrouding the warriors of the Nine Luminaries Army and Sun below. Then, their figures disappeared and appeared outside the Mansion of the Dead.
This was the reason why Sun was confident that he could take down the Mansion of the Dead quickly.
From the players' point of view, choosing the Burial Ground as the battle point was very advantageous for them. However, this was exactly what Sun wanted to see.
This was because the last time the emissary came to Beiqi to persuade them to surrender, he had already made a teleportation mark outside the city.
Knowing that a war might break out, the players were not the only ones who planned for this. Sun was also prepared for it.
This Space Law Crystal that he obtained by chance was very precious. However, it was insignificant compared to the position of His Excellency. Hence, he did not feel bad about losing it.
At this time, other than the players who were on standby in the Mansion of the Dead, there was no one else stationed in the city. Moreover, most of them were lifestyle players. Altogether, there were only fifty thousand of them.
The players who were watching at the city gate were shocked when they saw the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Moon Yao Army. They immediately sounded the alarm at the city gate to alert the players in the city.
Even Lu Wu was caught unprepared by the arrival of the Nine Luminaries.
"Enter the city!"
Looking down at the empty Mansion of the Dead, Sun's face was filled with the joy of victory.
After hearing Sun's order, the warriors of the Nine Luminaries Army roared and charged into the Mansion of the Dead. Then, they began to smash the city gate, trying to break it open and enter.
At this moment, the players who were stationed in the city gathered at the city gate.
No one expected the Nine Luminaries to suddenly arrive with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. At this moment, their hearts were filled with fear. They were not afraid of death, but of losing the Mansion of the Dead.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the city gate was smashed open. Countless warriors of the Nine Luminaries swung their weapons and swarmed in.
Sun nodded in satisfaction as he glanced at the buildings in the Mansion of the Dead. In his opinion, this was his future territory, and he was very satisfied with the environment of the Mansion of the Dead.
Seeing the players approaching from afar, Sun extended his hand and pressed forward. At this moment, the space seemed to freeze. The players who were running at the front were all pressed to the ground by the immense pressure.
"I've already won. Your struggles will only bring you death. However, I'm very merciful. I can give you a way out," Sun said with a smile as he looked at the players in front of him.
"I'll also give you a way out. Kneel down and admit your mistake."
"The Mansion of the Dead will never be handed over to you!"
"Fight me head-on if you have the guts. What's there to be proud of with tricks?"
…
The players responded stubbornly. However, Sun couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard the players' comments.
"I have to say that you guys are really childish. I'm starting to doubt how your forces grew so strong. The law of the underworld is survival of the fittest. Don't you understand that? Or are you joking with me? "
Hearing this, the players fell silent.
Now that they were familiar with the law of survival in this world, they understood that what Sun said was not wrong at all.
Looking at the players in front of him who couldn't move, Sun suddenly widened his eyes. A red ray shot out from his eyes and streaked forward. In an instant, some of the players were swept by the red ray and turned into ashes.
"I believe that fear will make you submit." Sun snapped his fingers as he spoke. Immediately, some of the players were swept by the red ray that was still hovering in the air and turned into ashes.
