Now, there were two million players in the Forest of Horrors, and with the system main cities' residents and soldiers, there were three million or so players. If the player factions added their own soldiers, Qin still wouldn't dare to rashly attack.
This attack had failed, and the three system main cities went from attacking to defending.
After this experience, they no longer dared to casually attack Qin. With their current strength, they understood that they wouldn't be able to destroy Qin, so they could only defend.
…
This matter quickly spread to the real world, and the player army's defeat caused many people to feel quite disappointed.
However, most factions had already prepared themselves for this. With Qin's monstrous strength, they hadn't hoped that they would be able to destroy Qin; they had only hoped to heavily wound him.
However, even though they had failed, they had still managed to weaken Qin's reputation. Now, no one was as afraid of Qin as they had been before, as they knew that as long as they banded together, Qin wouldn't dare to attack.
Since Qin didn't dare to attack and they had the strength to resist, why would they fear Qin? There was no need for them to fear him at all.
As such, even though the player army had failed, their actions had been good. No one feared Qin anymore, and they encouraged countless people to rise up against Qin's brutality.
…
Because the three system main cities were all on the defensive, Qin didn't dare to rashly attack. As such, the Forest of Horrors was temporarily at peace.
There were fewer people on the streets, and it was quite deserted. Jiang Rou went to the Westfall Restaurant and looked at it, feeling quite worried.
"What happened to Zhao Xin?"
In order to destroy all of Qin's factions, the three system main cities had closed all of their shops. However, because Qin had many shops, there were still some shops that belonged to Qin that had been bought by others.
The three system main cities would rather kill innocent people than let them off, and they closed all suspicious shops. Some innocent shops were dragged in as well.
Jiang Rou also heard that Qin was in the Forest of Horrors. Because of how big of a commotion this matter was, no matter how much she didn't care, she would still find out from others.
However, Jiang Rou couldn't think of any connection between Zhao Fu and Qin, and she thought that something had happened to Zhao Fu. As such, she was quite worried about Zhao Fu.
Originally, as Qin continued to develop in other areas, the pseudonym Zhao Fu had used before, which was Zhao Xin, gradually faded from the minds of countless people.
Many people wouldn't have guessed that Zhao Xin was Zhao Fu, and Zhao Fu was Qin's Prince. Jiang Rou wouldn't have guessed that the gentle Zhao Xin who treated her well was the cruel and bloodthirsty Prince Qin.
"What should I do?"
Jiang Rou felt quite worried, but there was nothing she could do. Normally, she would go to the Westfall Restaurant to find Zhao Fu, but now that it was empty, she naturally wouldn't be able to hear any news about Zhao Fu.
After looking at the Westfall Restaurant, Jiang Rou could only dejectedly return to her cloth shop and pray that Zhao Xin would be fine.
Jiang Rou truly treated Zhao Fu as a friend, and she felt incredibly grateful towards him. It was because of his help that she was able to live a free life.
…
Back at Qin, Qin had successfully defended against the player army, and it was the first time that Qin Qin had gone into a defensive state. In order to defend against the player army, Qin had suffered some losses, such as the Clown Bone Fish that he had raised for a long time.
The cows and pigs that he had raised had also died, so Qin wouldn't be able to eat them for a while. However, there were other types of meat that he could buy in other regions.
…
Right now, Qin's main concern was how to attack the system main cities. After all, he couldn't just drag things out like this – players would respawn near the system main cities every day, and if he allowed them to continuously respawn, the players that he had lost would be quickly replenished.
Qin had expended so many players with great difficulty, so he definitely couldn't allow them to replenish their numbers. If that happened, it would be even more disadvantageous for Qin Qin, and it would be even more difficult for him to defeat the three system main cities.
However, now that Qin knew that the three system main cities had the ability to break through isolation barriers, if Qin attacked one of them, the other two would definitely pincer attack from the other two sides. This made it so that Qin didn't dare to rashly attack, and he had to think of a foolproof plan before he could act.
The countless factions from the three system main cities all thought the same. Now that they had the support of the three system main cities, they didn't have to worry about Qin attacking, nor did they have to fear Qin.
They just wanted to wait for the players that they had lost to replenish themselves so that they could continue to fearlessly attack Qin. They had received many benefits, and for the sake of their own faction's safety, they were quite willing to do this.
Although this attack had failed, it only made them feel a bit disappointed. After entering the system main cities, they calmed down and didn't feel any fear towards Qin. After all, they knew that Qin wouldn't dare to attack, so they had nothing to fear.
Normally, before Qin had even acted, countless people would have surrendered or come to ask for peace. However, such a thing was impossible now.
As for the ordinary people, because they had just suffered a great loss, most of them only dared to stay within the system main cities and didn't dare to leave in case they were attacked by Qin.
However, they didn't feel sad or sad at all. After all, even though they had failed, they had still received some rewards from the large factions, which was something to be happy about.
After all, even though the three system main cities had lost, they didn't seem to have lost at all. They were in high spirits and didn't put Qin in their eyes at all.
…
After thinking for a while, Zhao Fu thought of a plan. However, instead of sending an army to attack, he used another method. It was quite despicable, and he didn't know if it would work. However, it was worth a try. After all, he wouldn't suffer any losses.
Taking the 12 Assassins and Xianru with him, Zhao Fu set his first target on Demon Tree City's City Lord. Demon Tree City's City Lord was an elderly man, and his body and strength couldn't compare to the other two City Lords.
Zhao Fu's plan would have a higher chance of success. Zhao Fu didn't care about the young and respected the old, so he decided to target the elderly man.
After making all sorts of preparations, they started to act at night.
That night, a full moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight was incredibly bright, making it not dark at all. Zhao Fu and the others started to act, and their goal was to assassinate the City Lord.
