Si Sheng's powerful mental strength extended and covered the 156 mercenary group leaders. A golden light surrounded them.
As the light spots dissipated, the hundred over players turned into thin cards under the dumbfounded gazes of the surrounding onlookers.
Then, they were swept away by the wind and disappeared.
"F * ck! Was my eyes playing tricks on me?! "
The hundred or so mercenary group leaders weren't the only ones gathered here. There were also the Imperial City players who had received the news and the mercenary group members who had accompanied them.
Now, these group members were all in a daze.
What the hell?! Their boss suddenly turned into a card and flew away!!!
Some of them reacted quickly and asked their boss through private messages and team voice chat.
However, all the messages disappeared. The people who were chatting with them just now didn't respond at all.
This was too strange!
At this moment, someone yelled in the public channel.
"Go and look at the forum. Boss and the others posted!"
Thus, the players all turned to the Starry Sky Forum.
Even Xu Yuheng, who was mixed in the crowd, hurriedly opened the forum.
After entering the game yesterday, Xu Yuheng was going to the Imperial City to see Xiao Li. However, when he arrived at the Imperial City, he received a message saying that he was busy and that he would have to postpone the meeting for a few days.
Xu Yuheng didn't disturb him. Instead, he wandered around the Imperial City with Bai Feng. He did his daily tasks and also did some research to see how the new players reacted to the game.
When he received the call in the afternoon, he came here with Bai Feng.
He vaguely guessed that this was Xiao Li's doing. Although he was curious about what kind of S-rank mission it was, he didn't rush to use his identity to obtain information.
After all, he had been warned so many times that he knew that he had to be careful and not do anything that would affect the balance of the game.
Because of this concern, Xu Yuheng simply handed over the position of mercenary group leader to Bai Feng.
As the game publisher, it was acceptable for him to participate in the game's support testing during the first and second beta. However, now that it was open beta, it would be too sensitive to cause any major incidents.
Thus, after thinking about it, he decided to retreat behind the scenes.
Thus, the one who was turned into a card was Bai Feng.
Xu Yuheng wasn't very worried about his safety. After all, this was just a game for players. It was just that the immersion was a little too strong.
As for the card play …
He had vaguely heard the game team mention it before, but he didn't know much about it. It seemed to be the gameplay in the later stages of the game. Why was it released on the second day of the open beta?
"All mercenary group leaders, gather here!"
As soon as he opened the forum, he saw a familiar ID — Qingyan.
As the person in charge of the Magic Box Squad in Star Age, Gentle Yan had already built ten squads in the game. The Magic Box Mercenary Group was considered one of the largest player forces in Star Age.
As for the Guild Leader, Gentle Yan, she also had a very strong appeal among the players.
Her post had only been up for three minutes, but it had already become a trending post, and the replies were still increasing.
Qingyan introduced her situation in the post.
Now that she had been turned into a card, she could only move her body slightly. She couldn't speak or use the in-game communication system. She could only post on the forum, and she had no problem going online and offline.
Then, she asked the other leaders if this was the case, and posted a system notification that Si Sheng had turned them into cards.
[Oh my god, I feel very strange. It feels like I've changed from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional world. The key is that it's so dark around me, I can't see anything, and I can't move!]
[What kind of awesome skill is this?]
[What is Si Sheng trying to do? How did he turn all of you into cards? I didn't see this NPC at the scene. Could it be that he can go invisible?]
The players were discussing intensely, raising their own questions and opinions. The casual players who didn't join the group were also attracted.
[So this is the prelude to the new gameplay? The game didn't announce anything, but I think it's quite interesting.]
[Interesting my foot! I have claustrophobia. 5555 I want to go offline, but I'm worried that I'll miss the plot. Now I'm not feeling well. 5555]
Xu Yuheng looked at the post and the replies below. He frowned and was confused.
What was Xiao Li trying to do? Why did he turn the players into cards? Where did the players who were turned into cards go?
"Beep, beep, beep —"
At this moment, the game system notification rang, reminding him that there was an external call.
When Xu Yuheng saw Wang Lao's name, he blinked in confusion.
Why was he calling him now? Was it because of Big Brother's gaming pod? Didn't Big Brother say that he would take care of it himself? He was a bit confused, but he still picked up.
"Little Mr. Xu, what did you do this time?"
Wang Lao's voice came through, revealing a bit of suppressed anger.
Xu Yuheng: "…?"
After taking the group leaders away, Xu Sili followed Cha Mo back to the spaceship at the border with Si Sheng.
As soon as he jumped down from the silver wolf, he received a message from Xu Yuheng.
Second Brother: [Xiao Li, did you turn the group leaders into cards? What are you going to do? What is the S-level mission?]
Looking at Second Brother's series of questions, Xu Sili rubbed his nose. What he was going to do next could greatly increase the speed of the game.
But …
When he thought about Sirene and the dead Senos, his eyes became firm again.
Snow: [Yes.]
Snow: [You will find out soon.]
Snow: [Second Brother, sorry.]
After replying, Xu Sili turned off the communication device, not caring about how Xu Yuheng would feel after seeing his message.
Brady and the others had already returned to the spaceship, and the pit below was also cleaned up.
There was no miracle.
The only things that were carefully collected were the Elder Prince Senos' communication device and wheelchair, as well as a few pieces of blood-stained cloth that could be confirmed to be Senos' clothes.
In addition to these, there were a few disemboweled Mountain Quarry corpses that were thrown into the pit to attract starving galactic beasts. Then, they were all killed by Xiao Wu's cannons.
"We didn't find any remains in the Mountain Quarry Beasts' stomachs, but there are some temporary tunnels around the pit. There should be some Mountain Quarry Beasts that escaped."
Brady looked sad. "Prince Senos … probably can't be found."
Xu Sili gripped the communication device that Brady had given him tightly. Looking at the bloodstains on it, his fingertips turned white.
Senos …
Although he had guessed it, it was still hard to accept when he heard the result.
The image of Senos putting on the bracelet for him appeared in his mind again. In fact, that person's facial features were a little blurred, but he still remembered the gentleness hidden under his cold exterior.
A person like that shouldn't have had such an ending …
In Xu Sili's heart, he couldn't help but hate the galactic beasts that had caused all of this.
"The corpses of the Mountain Quarry Beasts have scars left by icicles," Brady continued.
Brady continued. "They should have engaged in an intense battle with His Highness Thanos. Even under such circumstances, His Highness Thanos fought to the very end!"
"If it weren't for Prince, we wouldn't have been able to survive in the wild these past four years … We have failed in our duty. We should have left one more person to guard the cave …"
By the end of his sentence, the fierce-looking man with three scars on his face was crying.
He knelt in front of Xu Sili. "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
The metal-type warrior, James, was ashamed by his words and knelt down as well. "I didn't protect Prince well. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Abner hurriedly followed suit.
Xu Sili looked at them and sighed as he shook his head. "Get up, all of you. Now is not the time to talk about this."
"That's right." A determined female voice sounded.
Xu Sili looked over and saw a woman with short silver hair. He didn't know when she had appeared at the door.
Her face didn't have the frailty of yesterday. All of her pain was hidden in the bottom of her heart. Standing in front of Xu Sili again was that tenacious female warrior.
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Sirene walked over and took the communication device from Xu Sili. Only when she saw the Senos communication device did her hand tremble slightly.
But she quickly restrained herself.
Sirene looked up at Xu Sili and said, "Snow, thank you."
Xu Sili looked at her, feeling a sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity.
He didn't know what the Sirene in the parallel world would be like when she grew up. He only hoped that she would be as strong as the woman in front of him. Also, he didn't want to experience her despair and sorrow.
"Sister …"
As soon as Xu Sili called out, Sirene lowered her eyes and said, "You should take them back."
Xu Sili frowned and listened to her continue. "I was impulsive yesterday. I shouldn't have made such a reckless decision. Don't do anything stupid for me."
"I heard from Xiao Wu that the Empire is quickly recovering under your rule, so … don't cause any more unnecessary casualties because of me and my brother."
"And you … I'm very happy to see you, but you should go back as soon as possible. As the ruler of a country, you shouldn't have come to such a dangerous place."
Towards the end, her tone was a little harsh. Xu Sili couldn't help but rub his nose.
He shook his head. "I will do what I promised. And this isn't a reckless decision. Once the interstellar beasts nearby are cleared, I will build a base here."
"This is the burial ground of Senos and many soldiers. I can't allow interstellar beasts to trample here!"
Sirene was slightly stunned, her eyes turning red.
She bit her lip. Although she supported him emotionally, she still rejected him rationally. "This is too difficult. The border is tens of thousands of miles away from the Imperial City. Building a base here is meaningless."
"Why would it be meaningless?"
Xu Sili smiled. "In the end, Sister doesn't believe that I can do it. How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"I will reclaim this land with zero casualties!"
"That's impossible …"
Xu Sili interrupted her. "You will know whether it's possible or not when you try it yourself. Let's go, the warriors can't wait."
Brave warriors?
Sirene was full of doubts as she followed him and Marshal Si Sheng down the spaceship.
Strangely, the interstellar beasts that were attracted by the Mountain-Quarrying Beast's corpse turned and ran away as if they had seen their natural predator.
Sirene, Brady, and the others were shocked. Only Cha Mo was not surprised.
Then, Xu Sili came to a relatively flat piece of land and released the hundred or so mercenary group leaders.
Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Xi Lin could not help but be stunned. Did Si Nuo grasp some kind of secret technique?
But …
More than a hundred people might not be enough, right?
The players were also confused. However, those who could become mercenary group leaders were all intelligent. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor and the marshal were present, they immediately understood that they had encountered an incredible mission.
They did not make any noise. Instead, they silently started recording and broadcasting. They also communicated through the players' live chat channel.
Xu Sili was very satisfied with their discipline.
He looked at the players and said softly, "Warriors, you may be curious. Where is this? Why did I bring you here? "
The players' eyes were attracted to him.
"This is the original border of the Roland Empire."
"Four years ago, a great war broke out here. The beast horde broke through Roland's defense line and swept across the entire empire. We could only hide in the five main cities."
"Countless warriors sacrificed their lives for this. The empire's population was directly reduced by half. My father and brother also died in the beast horde."
Sirene and the others' eyes turned red. The players who had heard about Roland's background also sighed.
"And now …" Xu Sili continued, "The empire finally survived and has the power to fight back!"
"So today, I've made a decision."
"The Roland Empire will build the sixth main city — the City of the Brave!"
His words were powerful and resonant, and the gamers were stunned. Then, they heard the honorable Emperor say, "That's right.
"With this place as the center, in the next month, I'll fight with you, just like the Battle of Separation Sea. Also …"
"The Roland Empire will give you as much land as you reclaim. This will be a main city that truly belongs to the Brave!"
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the Legendary Mission — the City of the Brave!]
[Mission Description: Please reclaim the land at the border within one month. The reclaimed land will be used to build the City of the Brave. All participating players will be allocated land based on their contribution.]
[Please fight for the City of the Brave! Snow Roland will be your partner and fight by your side!]
After digesting Xu Sili's words and seeing the mission notification, the players, whether it was the mercenary group leader or the casual players who were watching the live broadcast, were all envious!
