The sudden bombardment of the Mediterranean Fleet was like a bolt of lightning flashing across the night sky, completely breaking the peace of Rabat and dragging the peaceful coastal city into the quagmire of war.
Just as the Mediterranean Fleet fired the first shot, a system announcement resounded in Morocco.
"System Announcement: China's Feudal Lord Not Have Clothes has initiated a Kingdom War. Morocco has entered the Kingdom War Mode. The Royal City, Rabat, has been attacked. Entering Level 1 Alert. Players, please check the situation yourself! "
…
It was different from the previous attack on the Star Nation. This time, the expeditionary army of the Great Xia Dynasty was aiming directly at the royal city. Hence, as soon as the war began, the royal city of Labat entered the highest state of alert.
From the start of the battle, this Kingdom War was destined to be a lightning-fast, close-range, melee fight.
Victory or defeat could be decided in an instant.
"System Announcement: Morocco has entered the Kingdom War Mode. According to the rules of the Kingdom War, during the Kingdom War, the Royal Capital's teleportation array will automatically sever its connection to the territory's teleportation array. Players will not be able to reincarnate immediately if they perish in battle. Please inform all players!"
…
As soon as the announcement was made, the players in Labat City, the nearby satellite cities, and the players in Morocco, who were thousands of miles away, were all dumbfounded.
"Kingdom War? Are you joking?"
"Today is not April Fool!"
The player subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"
Of course, no one could say for sure. Even the players in Rabat City could only hear the faint sounds of cannons hitting the city walls. They did not know that the famous Mediterranean Fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty had arrived.
This Kingdom War had come too suddenly.
"Hurry, hurry back to Royal City!"
After a moment of shock, some of the quick-witted players quickly reacted. Their first thought was to return to the capital immediately.
The players weren't as clueless as the Star Nation's players who were annihilated by the Shanhai City. According to the rules of the Kingdom War, once the monarch city fell, the Kingdom War would be declared a failure.
Once the Kingdom War was lost, all the players in Morocco would have their levels reset to zero, regardless of whether they were alive or dead. They would be reincarnated into an unknown trial ground, and everything would have to start from scratch.
It was already the middle of the fourth year of Gaia. The price of starting afresh was just too great.
Thus, to the Moroca players, no matter the price they had to pay, they had to protect King City. All of a sudden, there was no need for anyone to give the order. All of Morocco was mobilized.
The King's City Labatt's guild was the first to react. The members of nearly a hundred guilds began to gather at their respective headquarters. Under the command of the guild's higher-ups, the combatants regrouped and prepared to rush to the battlefield at any time.
The players in the satellite city did not remain in a daze for long. Those who remained in the city quickly teleported back to the capital city. More adventuring gamers were still exploring the Underworld and had to be informed.
The entire satellite town was bustling with activity.
On the other hand, the players outside the Royal City were in a difficult situation. They could not teleport back to the Royal City, so they could only rush to the three main cities of the players' territories and teleport to Casabianca.
Everything had happened in the short span of one or two hours. At the juncture of life and death, the Moroccan players had displayed their qualities, which was worthy of praise.
The only fly in the ointment was that the three lords of Morocco were not in Morocco at the moment.
This was simply a disaster.
…
May 19th, Atlantis City.
The concentric Atlantis City was surrounded by the sea, like a castle on the sea. When the sun rose from the sea, the first thing that shone on was the dome of the Atlantis Royal Palace.
The dome was bathed in golden light, and it was complemented by the glistening waves of the ring-shaped sea between the concentric circles. It was like a fairyland. Being in such a miraculous city was truly relaxing.
The Atlantis City towering in the Mediterranean Sea was like a dazzling pearl. It was as glorious as ever, but compared to the past, the city was more lively.
During this period, more and more lords of the Mediterranean Sea had gathered at the invitation of Queen Kalia to discuss the joint exploration of the Atlantis civilization ruins and the development of Atlantis technology.
The sky had just brightened, but the lords who came as guests had already woken up. They walked in groups of twos and threes, or lingered around the ancient buildings in the city, or stood by the river to admire the wonders of the sea.
The three lords of Morocco were also in Atlantis City. They had gathered in a garden and discussed some issues during the free time in the morning.
Now that they were in Atlantis City, the three of them naturally had to be united.
Breathing in the fresh morning air and enjoying the fragrance of flowers, the three of them were chatting enthusiastically when they suddenly heard the system announcement. This time, they were completely dumbfounded.
"This … this …"
The three of them looked at each other with pale faces. The sudden blow made them unable to recover from their shock. It was such a warm morning, but the three lords couldn't help but shiver.
After calming down, the three of them quickly gathered together and said, "What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Write a letter first and let the army take action. " The one who spoke was Andre, the Lord of Agadir. He was also the oldest among the three lords, so he was the first to calm down.
Since the war was unavoidable, they could only fight.
Caroline, the Lord of Casabianca, nodded and agreed. "That's right. Due to the rules of the war, you guys can teleport your troops to Casabianca first. I will grant you the authority. "
Before the war, the three territories weren't on the same side, so they couldn't teleport to each other.
Andre and the other lord of Morocco, who was also the Lord of Tangier, Rainier, didn't know what to think and just nodded silently.
At the juncture of life and death, the small conflicts from before had become insignificant.
The three of them formed an alliance at the fastest speed and opened the teleportation array to each other.
As Andre wrote the letter, he said, "This time, we are going to act together."
Carolyn and Rainier nodded their heads silently, their hearts filled with sorrow.
When the three of them were whispering to each other, they didn't know that Queen Kalia was casting a glance at them from afar. Of course, Kalia knew what kind of shocking event was going to happen today.
Ever since the three lords of Morocco came to Atlantis City, they had never left Kalia's sight.
Seeing this, Kali called over a trusted guard and instructed him in secret. The guard's eyes narrowed when he heard it, but he didn't dare to ask anything and left to make arrangements.
In the garden, the three lords wrote the letter at the fastest speed. Firstly, it was to authorize their generals, and secondly, it was to convey the results of their urgent discussion. At the last moment, they got someone to send the letter urgently.
What they didn't know was that the messenger had just arrived at the courier station when he was quietly intercepted by the guards of Atlantis City. Naturally, the three secret letters were not sent at all as if they had never appeared.
The whole thing was done flawlessly. Andre and the rest didn't notice anything unusual at all.
…
After "sending" the urgent letter, the three lords felt a little more at ease.
Caroline asked, "What should we do now? Return to the country immediately?"
At the juncture of the national war, Caroline couldn't feel at ease if she didn't personally return to her territory. As the only female lord of Morocco, Caroline didn't have much ambition. She had put a lot of effort into her territory, Casabianca.
Casabianca in the game was more beautiful than reality. It was a veritable garden city. Not only did Moroccan players like to play here, but even players from other Mediterranean countries would come from afar.
There were more than 200,000 casual players who settled in Casabianca. Tourism had also become one of Casabianca's main sources of revenue. It could be said to be a miracle in the game.
Unexpectedly, Andre shook his head firmly and said, "We can't go back now."
"Why? Andre, are you afraid of death? "
Before Caroline could say anything, the young and hot-blooded Reggie was already unhappy.
Andre didn't care. He wouldn't care about such a young kid. He patiently explained, "Even if we set off immediately, it would take at least four to five days to reach Rabat."
"No matter how long it takes, let's go back first," Reggie said.
Andre shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Do not forget who attacked Morocco, and who guarded the Straits of Gibraltar. "
"…" Reggie was speechless.
Yes, the Great Xia Dynasty had declared war on Morocco. The entire Strait of Gibraltar had probably been blocked by the Mediterranean Fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty. Going there now would be no different from seeking death.
Therefore, Reggie thought of the navy under his command. If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably be in trouble. Although Reggie was hot-blooded, he wasn't really stupid. He knew his limits.
Reggie knew very well that the territory's navy was nothing in front of the powerful Mediterranean Fleet.
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Reggie's eyes. "At most, we'll just kill ourselves and go back."
"It's useless." Andre shook his head. "You've forgotten that during the national war, once you die, you can't reincarnate immediately. You can only stay in the Reincarnation Hall. If that's the case, it's no different from staying in Atlantis City. "
"…"
Reggie was silent. He was too excited and forgot about this.
Seeing this, Carolyn asked, "What do we do now? Do we just wait in Atlantis City? Why don't we ask Queen Kalia for help? "
"That's right. The Mediterranean Fleet won't dare to intercept the warships of Atlantis City. If that's the case, they'll really become the public enemy of the Mediterranean Sea, "Reggie agreed.
Andre didn't object directly. He only said, "Asking for help from Atlantis City is naturally a solution. However, compared to rushing back to the territory immediately, we can still do better."
"What do you mean?"
Andre said, "You've forgotten that all the famous feudal lords of the Mediterranean Sea are now in Atlantis City. Instead of rushing back to the territory to seek so-called psychological comfort, we might as well stay here and persuade the other feudal lords to send troops to support Morocco. "
"I think many of the feudal lords here don't want to see Morocco fall into the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty."
