Chapter 44: The Army Was Deployed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The army would be deployed tomorrow. Whether or not Amber City could be saved would depend on this battle.
Lu Yuan walked to the window. It was currently midnight in the real world. He looked at the bustle and lights outside the window, and the way the stars in the sky shone on them. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented peace and serenity in his heart.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan’s gaze became sharp. Since the heavens had given him a new life, it meant that he had to change the fate of the entire world. He had to protect this peaceful and serene scene!
In his previous life, after the game world and the real world merged, the countless tall buildings collapsed and all the cities became ruins. Let alone the tens of thousands of lights, not even many humans were left!
Back then, when one looked up at the sky, one would not see the moon nor the stars. One would only see the Gods who sat high in the sky and ignited the divine fire. The Gods had slaughtered countless human experts who dared to resist them, and Lu Yuan was one of them!
In this life, he wanted to change his fate and break through the limits of the game. With the body of a mortal, he would slaughter the Gods!
There was not much time left for him…
After the night, Lu Yuan got up early to wash up. He ate some steamed buns that were leftovers from yesterday and continued to go online.
After Lu Yuan went online, he did not choose to meet up with the Imperial army first. Instead, he first went on the forum to post.
[Today, the army of Amber City will go to the Frost Worship Grounds to fight against the monsters]
“Today, the Imperial army of Amber City will be going to the Frost Worship Grounds that are the furthest away from Amber City, to fight against the monsters. The Imperial army of Amber City will set off very soon. Brothers, come quick! There’s a possibility of huge rewards! The monsters at the underground Frost Worship Grounds are all advanced. With the Imperial army of Amber City taking the brunt, we can pick up the equipment dropped by the advanced monsters without suffering any damage!”
After posting, Lu Yuan logged out of the forum. The reason he posted was to gather more people. Although the players’ levels were low, those who could reach level 10 and enter the main cities so early on in the game were all gaming experts. It was better to have some help than nothing!
Moreover, perhaps there would be a few lucky ones who would obtain some treasure that would have unexpected effects on the battlefield.
Once this post was posted, the comments section below immediately exploded.
“Where did this rumor come from? Why haven’t I heard of such a plot?”
“Is it fake?”
“It shouldn’t be fake. Everyone, hurry up and get online. There is indeed an army gathering at the Amber City’s city gates!”
“Really? Woohoo~ woohoo~ time to go get some equipment!”
Instantly, a large number of players gathered in Amber City. Each of them was equipped with their best equipment, preparing to get a slice of the cake on the battlefield and kill a few low-HP monsters to level up!
Lu Yuan went straight to the city gates to meet up with the army of Amber City.
By the time Lu Yuan arrived, the tens of thousands of Imperial Army had already been waiting there for a long time. There were also Royal guards in golden armor and experts sent by the Royal Family, who consisted of two knights, a priest, three berserkers, a mage, and an archer.
Lu Yuan opened the level panel and realized that he could not see their level information at all. Only question marks were nodded. Lu Yuan nodded, it seemed that they were indeed experts!
Lu Yuan stood at the front of the team along with the experts from the Royal Family. Then, two more people came to stand beside him.
They were Solaka and Rogge respectively.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Why were these two standing in front of the team with him?!
At this moment, a large number of players had gathered. Some of them who were not in Amber City had even spent money to teleport to here. After all, a good chance to gain equipment and EXP for low damage was not common.
Just then, a hand patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder from behind. It was the guild master of the World Dominator Guild, Xiongba Tianxia!
There was also another person behind Lu Yuan who was looking at him. It was the guild master of the Frost Snow Guild, Bingshuang Luanwu!
Lu Yuan looked back and saw that the players were gathered around the army, prepared to go on the expedition with the army!
Lu Yuan smiled. The scene reminded him of the battle three years ago.
“Lu Yuan, are you here to gain benefits for free as well?” Bingshuang Luanwu asked Lu Yuan.
“Well, this is my mission. If I complete this mission, I will be rewarded with the Princess’ Amber Kiss!” Lu Yuan said slowly.
“F*ck! You’re the guy who posted, right?” Bingshuang Luanwu looked at Lu Yuan and asked.
“Yep!” Lu Yuan replied.
At this moment, Xiongba Tianxia gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up from behind. Smart! Truly smart! To think Lu Yuan had tricked the other players into helping him with his mission. He never thought the game could be played as such. It would be a pity if such a person did not join his guild.
At this moment, the City Lord who was standing on the city walls said, “Brave warriors! This battle will determine the survival of the Amber City. As the City Lord, I represent the countless residents of Amber City to express our gratitude to you! The residents of Amber City will forever treat you as the heroes of Amber City!”
At this moment, the Princess who was standing beside the City Lord and said, “I wish the heroes a victorious return!”
The residents of Amber City were also praying that the army of Amber City would be able to return victorious!
Wu ~ ~
Following the sound of the war horn, the army of Amber City began to move forward.
Lu Yuan, who was in front, was crazily swallowing potions. He had to maintain his full status, otherwise, any boss-level monster from the Frost Worship Grounds could easily kill him!
“Lu Yuan, how did you find such a big quest? Such a great scene, tsk tsk tsk!” Bingshuang Luanwu said with a slightly sour tone.
“Old friend, I’m afraid that the two of us won’t be able to escape unscathed this time!” Solaka said to Rogge.
“Hehe, then let’s not escape!” Rogge said with a smile.
Lu Yuan looked at the two NPCs and felt that their realness was already somewhat beyond the dimension of the game. He sighed in his heart and felt even more depressed. It seemed that the fuse between reality and the game had become faster because the human nature of these NPCs had not awakened so early in his previous life.
Now that Rogge and Solaka had begun to have some human nature, it meant that Lu Yuan did not have much time left!
Soon, the army arrived near the Frost Worship Grounds. Lu Yuan gave a signal to stop, and the army immediately stopped.
“Everyone, adjust your status. We’re almost there!” Lu Yuan said to the back.
The army’s warriors took the opportunity to replenish their stamina, while the players also frantically took potions.
Not long after, Lu Yuan shouted, “Attack!”
The army began to charge forward at full speed. The minute they arrived at the entrance of the underground Worship Grounds, the army’s warriors and the Royal guards immediately began to fight with the monsters, while the players constantly shuttled through the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to give the monsters the fatal blow.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan directly charged into the depths of the cave under the protection of the Royal guards, followed by Rogge and Solaka.
Very soon, they encountered the first boss-level monster. The warrior and knight in the party cooperated with the archer, and they soon killed the boss-level monster.
The party of experts continued to advance!
