System: "There's 1 hour until the Great Rift Valley opens. Chosen Ones, please proceed to the corresponding Main City to prepare for teleportation and enter the battlefield."
System: "There's 1 hour until the Great Rift Valley opens, ..."
System: "There's 1 hour until the Great Rift Valley opens, ..."
The crimson text appears on players' screens across all battle zones in the world, overwhelming their displays.
At this mont, players in every battle zone have already been ready, eager to face Rafam Continent's most formidable enemy ever: Abyss Demon Race!
And it's not just the players feeling the anticipation.
Even the native inhabitants of various Main Cities within the ga are visibly tense.
Players can clearly sense that the Guard Team patrolling around the Main Cities has explosively increased.
Even the Guards on the city walls have multiplied several tis compared to usual.
After all, if players fail to secure the Town Demon Passage, those Demon Race will teleport directly to the surroundings of the Main City, launching a City Seizing War against it.
This ti, it's a real battle for the city!
If the defense of the city fails, not only will players have to leave this Main City.
But tens of thousands of native inhabitants within the city will perish here, an unbearable cost for them.
However, when ordinary players see these actions as just the ga officials setting the mood for the event.
They are unaware that the horror and tension in the hearts of these native inhabitants are genuine and deep-rooted.
It's likely that no native inhabitant would wish to experience such a grand Anti-Demon War again in their lifeti.
anwhile, on Hua Country's ga forums, the discussions have long been boiling over this matter:
"I've heard killing Demon Race not only gives high experience, but the drop rate is also high. My goodness. From now on, I'm only going to kill Demon Race to level up!"
"There are already people forming Demon Hunting Corps guilds. I'm considering whether to switch guilds."
"But even the lowest-leveled demons of the Demon Race are Level 30, which is unfriendly to newcors!"
"Just Level 30? You think it's the early days of the public test? You can find soone easily and spend a few thousand bucks to grind in the Land of Extre Cold for a few days to get there."
"Dude, it took months to level up from 1 to 30!"
"Now killing Demon Race not only gives high experience and high drop rates, but it also drops Awakening Stones and Demon Cores; that's the real deal, brothers."
"The market price for Awakening Stones is about to break ten thousand. Damn it. There are so many rich people."
"Yes, yes! The current purchase price for Demon Cores is around 500 Gold Coins, which is five thousand Reality Coins by the current exchange rate!"
"I estimate that the prices will fluctuate based on the drop rate of these two items. The current situation doesn't an much."
"I've heard that the top 100 guilds in our Battle Zone have been assigned to various Town Demon Passages. Do you know which one you're going to?"
"I also saw that list, but there's no ntion of the Creation rcenary Corps. I wonder where Feng will go."
...
At the Shengshi Dynasty's guild base, Shengshi Drunkard says to Lin Yi in front of him:
"Which Town Demon Passage are you planning to go to later?"
Lin Yi looks at Shengshi Drunkard, feeling amused:
"Why?"
"You're a Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Demon Corps, and you're worried you can't handle those Demon Race?"
"You didn't call here just to ask this, right?"
However, Shengshi Drunkard doesn't find Lin Yi's joke funny at all and says with a serious expression:
"I've received news."
"When the Demon Race invasion happens, soone might cause trouble."
Lin Yi is taken aback:
"What do you an?"
Lin Yi frowns:
"Cause what kind of trouble?"
As a result, Shengshi Drunkard shook his head and said:
"I don't know the details."
"But the news I've got is that recently several guilds simultaneously received a mysterious mission issued by the City Lord of Black Tortoise City."
"No one has revealed what the task content is so far."
Then Shengshi Drunkard took out a list of various Town Demon Passages:
"Most of these guilds have been assigned to the Black Tortoise City Town Demon Passage."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi seed to understand what Shengshi Drunkard ant.
But suddenly Lin Yi's mind jumped to a question:
"Are you sure the issuer of the task is the City Lord of Black Tortoise City, Aiborn?"
"No!"
"It's the Vice City Lord, Andre."
"What?!"
Looking at the shocked Lin Yi, Shengshi Drunkard said:
"Why, do you know the Vice City Lord well too?"
Lin Yi suddenly felt uneasy and said:
"Very well indeed."
"I know you have connections with the four major City Lords, so I want you to ask about what the mission content actually is."
Lin Yi nodded in agreent:
"I'll go to Black Tortoise City."
"To see what kind of ga they're playing."
As Lin Yi finished speaking, he imdiately activated Return to City. When Lin Yi appeared in Black Tortoise City, he found that it was already overcrowded.
Not just here.
Almost all the Main Cities in various battle zones are in this situation.
Every Main City connects to the corresponding Town Demon Passage.
Players must defend that passage, preventing the Demon Race from breaking through and invading the corresponding Main City.
This ti in the rcenary Corps channel:
Mingn Stunning (rcenary Corps mber): "Feng, which passage are we going to?"
Tian Ci (rcenary Corps mber): "To Cyan Dragon City maybe? The defense there might be weaker."
Red Eyes (rcenary Corps mber): "It doesn't matter where we go, right? At first, these Demon Race wouldn't be that severe, gotta give everyone ti to adapt."
Mirror (rcenary Corps mber): "Don't underestimate the Demon Race."
Mingn Yue'Er (rcenary Corps mber): "An arrogant army will lose, eh, naughty/"
Mute (rcenary Corps mber): "Let's hear what Feng has to say."
Seeing this, Lin Yi answered in the rcenary Corps channel:
Feng Hua (rcenary Corps Leader): "Everyone gather in Black Tortoise City."
...: "Later everyone heads to the Anti-Demon battlefield in Black Tortoise City."
...: "Miss Mirror is right; do not underestimate the enemy. This first invasion by the Demon Race will exceed everyone's expectations."
...: "If anyone does not want to embarrass the Creation rcenary Corps, then stay vigilant."
In the City Lord's Mansion of the four major City Lords, they all mutually showed satisfied expressions reading the rcenary Corps channel's ssage.
But when thinking about the new round of Anti-Demon war that is about to burst.
Everyone began to worry again.
White Tiger City Lord Montero stands alone in the City Lord's Mansion Hall muttering:
"The Hundred Races are yet to recover, Chosen Ones, it's up to you."
At this mont, the door of Black Tortoise City Lord's Mansion Hall was suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked in:
"City Lord, you called ?"
Black Tortoise City Lord Aiborn sits at the top of the hall, expressionless, saying:
"Close the door."
Andre, upon hearing, obediently turned around and closed the door.
In the mont the door closed, the entire hall fell into utter silence again.
Andre looked confusedly at Aiborn:
"City Lord?"
Aiborn slowly began to speak:
"I've heard these last two days while I wasn't present, you privately used the Mansion's equipnt to issue dozens of hidden tasks to the Chosen Ones."
"I'm very curious, what kind of hidden task requires so much high-level equipnt?"
Suddenly, Aiborn appeared in front of Andre, a totally unexpected move.
Even Andre, who was a Vice City Lord at Level 75, got startled.
Aiborn gazed coldly at Andre and asked:
"What hidden task, am I, the City Lord, eligible to know?"
Andre froze in place, staring blankly at Aiborn:
"This..."
