The players looked around and realized that they were in a simple war camp. The system broadcast sounded at this time, announcing to all players: During the main city war, the main city will be temporarily closed. The seven main resurrection points will be temporarily moved outside the city. The coordinates are: XXX, XXX; During the main city war, players who do not participate in the main city war can continue to train in the wild. After death, players who participate in the main city war will not lose experience, will not lose levels, and will not lose equipment. After death, players will also resurrect at the seven locations and can immediately participate in the main city war. The resurrection points have all kinds of supplies that players need.
After the system broadcast finished, the players all over the world heard the nagging of the NPCs next to them: "City Lord XXX, cruel rule, exploitation of the people. He tramples on our lives, exploits everything we have, suppresses our words and deeds, slaughters our brothers and sisters! We can't endure this anymore. Brothers and sisters, pick up the weapons in your hands and blow the horn to charge. Let us overthrow the dictatorship of City Lord XXX and build a future that belongs to us!!! "
The people who sang this were the NPC captains of the various barracks. Each of them was wearing shiny armor. When they sang the last sentence, they pulled out their long swords from their waists and pointed at the main city thousands of meters away.
The players looked at each other. What was going on? It was like a peasant uprising. This city war actually had a story behind it. Of course, these words didn't have any effect on the players. Did the players have the time to care about him? The online teleportation was messed up by the system. At this time, they were all sending messages to find their own organizations! This was the most chaotic rebel army in history. The commander had already called for a charge, but the soldiers hadn't even found their own team!
"Coordinates XXX, XXX, I'm here. Everyone, come! Gather, do you hear me? Hurry!!! "
"Where's the flag? Who has the flag? Isn't it called the flag? Raise the flag! Follow the flag!! "
"Quest, there's a quest in the camp. I found a quest!!!"
The guild channel was even more chaotic than the scene. It was full of similar voices.
Unsworn Sword, as the guild leader of the most powerful guild in Cloud City, was also completely dumbfounded. Usually, they felt that their guild could be said to be the tyrant of the city, but now that the entire city's guild was mobilized, they finally understood what people meant. In a main city with 500,000 players, how could a guild with a little more than 1,000 players possibly compare? For the first time, Unsworn Sword felt that his guild was so insignificant as he stared at the endless sea of heads that covered the mountains and plains. Level six? What was a Level 6? Even the Ten Societies Alliance in Moonlit Night City, with four thousand people, was just a drop of water in front of such a formation.
Unsworn Sword had never seen such a big scene before! Actually, what he saw in front of him was not enough for five hundred thousand people. There were 500,000 players in the city, but a significant portion of them didn't play in guilds. There were also some who had joined guilds but weren't interested in participating in the event. The guilds couldn't force them to join, and there were also those who didn't want to get involved in this mess, so they pretended that nothing had happened. In fact, if it weren't for the official promise that the points obtained from this event would be exchanged for experience points regardless of ranking. In short, participating in this event was much more worthwhile than leveling up. It was because of this rule that many players were able to stay in the game.
In this chaotic situation, a large guild like Unhindered was actually a burden. After calling out to people for a long time, he didn't see anyone from his own guild come to his side. Perhaps there were … but frankly speaking, there were over a thousand players in the guild, and Unsworn Sword didn't even know a third of them. The ones he was familiar with could be counted on his hands. If the guild leader was like this, then what about the members? There were many people in large guilds like them who didn't know each other. At this time, on the plains, countless people from the same guild stood side by side, gazing into the distance, wondering, "Where are the brothers from my own guild?"
When their gazes turned to the side, they glanced at the badge, "Hey! We're on the same side! "
On the other hand, smaller guilds like Amethyst Reborn and Immortal Among Flowers moved quickly. Everyone in the guild was as close as a family, and they were very familiar with each other. Their numbers were small, and they gathered quickly. Amethyst Reborn's members who were online were already in place. July looked left and right, puzzled, "Where's Qianli?"
"They dropped the ball at a crucial time, hurry up and call him!" Slender Waist Dance shouted as she sent a message to Gu Fei. In the end, she received a system notification: Enemies are not allowed to communicate!
Slender Waist Dance was obviously not the only one who sent a message to Gu Fei. At this time, July and Luoluo also received a private message, and they received the same reply. She looked up and saw the confusion on everyone else's face.
"What does this mean? What enemies? "Luoluo asked.
"Is it referring to the city war?"
"The enemy in the city war. Isn't that the city's defenders? Qianli is defending the city? "
The girls were in an uproar. What was going on? A top-notch expert was selected to defend the city. The system was cheating!
Gu Fei was also at a loss at this moment, and he was extremely at a loss. When he went online, he appeared at the resurrection point as usual. He did not notice that there were no players around him. Because it was a city war, he wanted to gather with the girls, so he sent a message to ask where to meet. In the end, he received the system's reply: Enemies are not allowed to communicate. Gu Fei was confused, so he sent a message to Childe Elite Group's channel, but the system's reply was the same.
Gu Fei was puzzled. When he looked up again, he realized that the resurrection point was frighteningly quiet. Usually, no matter what time it was, the resurrection point would always be flashing with white light, and people would come and go, almost without interruption. What was going on today? Why wasn't there a single person at such an important event?
Gu Fei walked out of the knight's camp where he went offline and was shocked. In the square in front of the knight's camp, a team of elite knights had already assembled. Gu Fei went forward to take a look, and recognized that they were NPCs, not players. He was puzzled! The system broadcast ended at this moment, and the captain of the team of knights was seen waving his sword. "Warriors, there is a group of thugs trying to disrupt our peaceful lives. They have gathered a large number of troops and are preparing to attack our city. Warriors, take up your weapons, defend your home, defend your honor, and protect your brothers and sisters! Come with me, and slay these thugs under our sword of justice!!! "
When Gu Fei heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this a main city attack? Why was he in the middle of a song about defending the main city? Why was he surrounded by NPCs? Where were the players? Where were the players?
Gu Fei ran through a few streets and did not see a single player. Instead, he saw system guards gathering and walking around. The system's formation was very different from usual. Other than the usual system guards, Gu Fei also saw a square formation of Mages and Priests. When he passed by the Thieves Guild, he also saw a group of Assassins. They didn't line up, speak, or boost morale like the Warriors and Knights. They just sat in silence, expressionless, and did not say a word. The NPC's performance of this kind of imposing manner was perfect. But in this silent face, Gu Fei saw a blank face, which made him feel a sense of familiarity.
"Sword Demon!!!" Gu Fei shouted.
Sword Demon hurriedly turned his head, and when he saw that it was Gu Fei, he was also excited.
"What's going on?" Gu Fei walked over in a few steps.
"I didn't know what was going on at first, but now that I see you, I think the problem might be in our camps!" Sword Demon said.
"Camps?"
"Yes, because of our camps, we were divided into the system that guards the main city." Sword Demon said.
"This … What kind of explanation is this? I didn't see this announcement! "Gu Fei said.
"How many people can there be in a camp? That's why the system didn't make a special announcement! "Sword Demon said.
"If there's no special announcement, then we're considered normal people!" Gu Fei said.
"Who knows what rules there are in this." Sword Demon said.
"Then what do we do now? Fight with hundreds of thousands of players? "After saying this, Gu Fei suddenly became a little excited. This was fun! And he also heard the system announcement just now. Dying in a city battle didn't cause any losses, but equipment durability would drop. Gu Fei had always disregarded life and death when he PKed himself, mainly because he didn't want to cause trouble for the players. If he didn't have this thought, why would he be so obsessed with the Wanted Quest? If he wanted to PK, wouldn't the streets be full of people? Wasn't Apple Vinegar made like this?
Thinking of this, Gu Fei hurriedly said, "Then that Apple Vinegar and Water Breaking Arrow, aren't they also in the same camp?"
"They've both dropped to Level 40, but they still don't know! And even if they are, it's probably based on their residency, right? "Sword Demon said.
"Then didn't you go to help Water Depth? Why didn't they send you to Forest Shade City? "
"I don't have a residency there! I've been training here these past few days. Before I went offline, I just teleported to Forest Shade City, and then wasn't there a system maintenance? When I came back up, I was back here. I wanted to tell Water Depth, but the message couldn't be sent. "Sword Demon said.
"You say there's only two of us defending the city. If we really defend the city, how do we split it? Shall we split it half? "Gu Fei asked.
"That's impossible! Pay attention to the rules of the city battle announced by the system. In fact, it only says ten thousand points to divide the power area. In fact, it doesn't mention whether this city battle quest can be completed or failed. I think that maybe when the players kill ten thousand points, the city battle will be declared over. I think this city battle isn't so much an event, but an update for the players to participate. Through the players' participation, the main city will be divided in the hands of the players. "Sword Demon analyzed.
"En, I think your analysis is much more reliable than Brother You's." Gu Fei said. Brother You had been talking about money, the economy, circulation, the value of goods, and so on. He always had to pull people together to discuss. The other five members of the elite team were on the verge of breaking down. They all sent him to Jian Nan's side.
"So, this is a quest with no victory or defeat. It's just an update. I think the best is yet to come. "Sword Demon said.
"What do you mean?"
"After the division of the power area is finished, will it be passed down to the guild? I think that when the time comes, the corresponding rules will be introduced. This power area will be the main stage for the competition between guilds. "
"Saying so much, then what are we going to do? Jump out of the city and fight with five hundred thousand people? "Gu Fei said.
"I just received a quest." Sword Demon said.
"What quest?"
"Assassination. The target is a player called White and Black."
"Who?"
"The Black and White Alliance of Life and Death. Do you know? It's the guild leader. "Sword Demon said.
"Oh!" Gu Fei came to a realization. "They want you to assassinate the enemy's commander! It seems like this group is also a suicide squad. When the time comes, they will specifically target the guild leader. "Gu Fei looked at the silent group of assassins inside and outside the Thief Guild square.
Sword Demon smiled bitterly. "If they have a target, then they know where it is. What should I do? Five hundred thousand people, where am I going to find them? "
"En, I don't think there's a chance. Let's just charge up and kill randomly!" Gu Fei was already eager to try.
"Five hundred thousand people!" Sword Demon sighed. In fact, he was reminding Gu Fei: I know you're fierce, but today's opponents aren't five or fifteen people, but five hundred thousand people. It's a number that can defeat you with just one spit from each person.
"When are these guys going to make their move? When the time comes, we can mix in with the NPCs. "Gu Fei said.
"I don't know! They've been sitting there for a long time and they haven't said anything or moved. "Sword Demon said.
"There are some moving around in the city. Let's follow them and take a look." Gu Fei suggested.
"Okay!" Sword Demon nodded. The two left the Thief Guild. At the corner of the street, they saw a group of archers with bows strapped to their backs, valiantly setting off. The two hurriedly followed behind. Of course, the NPCs wouldn't pay attention to them. The two followed the group all the way to the guard tower at the corner of the city. They followed the stairs to the top of Cloud City. Then, they saw the group of archers line up and draw their bowstrings.
"F * ck!!" Gu Fei and Sword Demon cursed. This group of archers didn't intend to leave the city. It seemed like they were going to be stationed at the top of the city.
It wasn't like players hadn't climbed the city wall before. At this time, it really wasn't the usual city wall for sightseeing. There were many archers and mages, two long-range professions, on top of the city wall. Every twenty to thirty meters on the city wall, there were catapults. Gu Fei and Sword Demon walked closer to take a look. The stones that the catapult wanted to throw were piled up next to it. The head was bigger than a player. Gu Fei and Sword Demon tried to move it together, but they couldn't move it at all.
"F * ck, what level does a warrior have to be to move it? The system produced such a high-level character, and it's shameless! " As Sword Demon said this, he saw a sturdy warrior guard run over. Gu Fei and Sword Demon waited to see how he would move the boulder. In the end, he didn't move it at all. He walked in front of the boulder pile, waved his sword, and shouted, "Load the boulder!!!"
Gu Fei and Sword Demon waited to see the coolie. In the end, a white light flashed on the boulder pile and a stone was gone. The catapult's ladle had a stone lying steadily on it. The two of them had tears streaming down their faces. What was there to be serious about with the system? He didn't move it at all and directly refreshed it.
After visiting the top of the city wall, they looked down at the bottom. Thousands of meters away were the two of them's true friends: the players. Sword Demon looked for a while and frowned. "Why is it so messy?"
About half an hour had passed, and the chaos outside the city was still there. Many people hadn't found where their guild was yet! Everyone vented their resentment on the system. Why was it randomly refreshing? It was such a mess. They couldn't even find the people, so what was the point of the city battle!
At the beginning of the city battle, the system soldiers made declarations and oaths, but the players were so disrespectful. Gu Fei and Sword Demon watched as the stones on the city wall were loaded, the archers' arrows were counted, the mages' fruits were enough, and the melee profession's assault team was neatly assembled at the city gate. Even the assassins who came out of the Thieves Guild had dispersed from the front of the Thieves Guild's courtyard, hiding in some unknown corner.
As two players who had personally witnessed the scene inside and outside the city, Gu Fei and Sword Demon agreed that if the system didn't go easy on them, the players wouldn't be able to take down the main city at all. From this, they were even more convinced of Sword Demon's inference. The system's activity was just a formality, so it wasn't very serious. The players went online and refreshed randomly, and the two lonely faction players were ignored and directly thrown into the city. Anyway, it didn't look like a carefully planned major activity.
The two of them were feeling melancholy! Gu Fei suddenly pointed in a certain direction. "Look, look over there."
Sword Demon looked in the direction he was pointing. It was also a black mass of players. He didn't know what was special at all and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Look, that flag. Do you see it?" Gu Fei continued to point.
Sword Demon continued to be confused. "Which flag! There are so many flags. "
"That black and white flag, is that the guild flag of the Black and White Life and Death Alliance that you mentioned?" Gu Fei said.
"Oh, it might be true …"
"Where there's a flag, the guild leader is probably around. Do you know that person?" Gu Fei asked.
"Not really, but I can recognize him when I see him," Sword Demon said.
"Let's do it!" Gu Fei was excited. Although it was PK, PK with a purpose was always more interesting than meaningless killing. If they really jumped into the sea of people and killed, it would be quite boring. It was like a race. The finishing line was drawn in front of them and they would win if they reached it. The other side didn't even know where the finishing line was. What was the point of running and running?
"Going now isn't courting death. Let's wait and see and wait for the players to move," Sword Demon said.
"I think your mission is actually quite convenient. When you join the crowd, people don't care which guild you're from. They see you as a person and treat you as a comrade. How would they know that we're from the system! "Gu Fei said.
"The key is to find the person," Sword Demon said.
"Keep an eye on that big flag," Gu Fei said.
"I should have borrowed the binoculars …" Sword Demon muttered.
The binoculars were now in the hands of the Han Family Young Master. A few days ago, he dealt with the boundless wilderness. When the girl wanted it, he returned it. As a result, a few days before the city war, this guy went to borrow it again. To live eternally among the flowers in the vast wilderness, there was no strategic goal, so he lent it to him again.
At this time, the Han Family Young Master was holding the binoculars to observe the main city. As he watched, he froze. He put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes. He looked at the wine bottles on the ground around him: Did I drink too much?
Impossible! The Han Family Young Master thought and raised the binoculars again. This time, he finally confirmed that it was Gu Fei and Sword Demon who disappeared before the city war. How did these two guys suddenly appear on the city wall?
