"Stars have discovered a secret passage! No wonder they announced the end of the siege so early this morning."

"It looks like they want to keep all the rewards for themselves."

"Heh! Just these few dozen people?"

"Overestimating yourselves! Our Dragon Kingdom region has tens of millions of players; we could drown them all with a single spit from each of them!"

Countless players mocked the player in the comments section.

[Prayer Set Triggered: All Pets on the Server Rebel!]

Zhou Yi hurriedly checked the equipment slots of Ta Xue Ting Feng.

The Prayer Set effect will cause any one piece of equipment to disappear randomly once.

Thankfully, it was the helmet that went missing this time.

Yes, the Prayer Helmet is green and has a higher drop rate.

He had already collected all the prayer sets, but had never had the chance to use them.

This time, I have to thank the NPCs for their help in bringing him so many pets.

"Holy crap! Why did the NPCs turn against us?"

"Damn it! My pet has betrayed me too!"

"Get out of the way!"

The players were crying and screaming.

The NPCs were chased so badly by their own pets that they were practically running for their lives.

The dwarf master craftsman's mech unit, because it is intelligently driven, is also classified as a pet.

Zhou Yi had already instructed his subordinates to retrieve or disperse their pets beforehand, and thus they were not attacked.

The live stream suddenly fell silent.

"what happened?"

"Wow! Are NPCs from StarCraft too?"

The Starry Sky members suddenly looked at Caesar.

"President, did you do this?" Liu Tianxian's eyes widened.

Zhou Yi smiled but remained silent.

The members suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the chairman has always been so fearless.

So that's how they had this backup plan!

After being resurrected, Ta Xue Ting Feng showed no anger and remained standing beside the guild leader.

It seems to have been pre-planned.

Time is running out. What good are tens of millions of players outside?

We can't get in at all!

"Do not summon your pets for one hour," Zhou Yi reminded him.

If it were all NPC soldiers charging into battle, he really wouldn't be able to do anything.

The core of Sand City is too fragile.

Outside the main hall, chaos reigned.

Especially for players who traveled thousands of miles on foot, hoping to get a chance to touch the BOSS and obtain rewards at the last moment, they not only couldn't enter the main hall, but were also chased by a group of elite pets.

NPC pets are far superior to the player's own pets.

The dinosaurs' death trampling and the mechs' barrage of fire could wipe out a large area in an instant.

Night has fallen!

[The siege has ended! The attacking side has failed!]

The system notification sounded in everyone's minds, and their hearts sank instantly.

So many people, so much effort, and they still failed!

"It's all Xingchen's fault! If they hadn't stopped us, we would have stormed in already!"

The major guilds started stirring things up.

"That's right! Xingchen caused the Dragon Kingdom's mission to fail, which is an heinous crime! He must be severely punished!"

"We recommend designating them as a terrorist organization! We must resolutely crack down on such acts of abandoning national interests for personal gain!"

The world channel was filled with condemnation.

Many players were also stirred up.

Just then, a system announcement popped up.

Congratulations to Starry Sky Guild for conquering the ancient capital of Shabak for the first time across all servers! The guild is rewarded with 100,000 guild experience points and the exclusive Shabak title: World's Number One Guild!

All guild members receive a one-level title upgrade and the exclusive mount, the Shabak Heavy Warhorse, which grants an additional 20% increase in running speed.

[World's No. 1 Guild: Enjoy a 10% discount on purchases within Mengzhong Province; experience and drop rates are increased by 20% in all maps within Mengzhong Province.]

[Congratulations to Caesar on becoming the first master of the ancient city of Shabak! You have been granted the title of Lord of Shabak, an exclusive outfit, and an exclusive map.]

[To reward Caesar for his valiant act, the King of Beech City has granted him the title of Lord of Mengzhong Province, elevating his rank to Marquis!]

A series of system notification sounds confused all the players.

What kind of divine reward is this?

Just from the name, you can tell it's awesome.

Exclusive mounts, titles, outfits, and maps.

If any of these things happen to you, shouldn't you set off firecrackers to celebrate?

But all of this was taken by Xingchen.

"Damn it! This is a reward belonging to the entire Dragon Kingdom region! Why should Xingchen take it all for himself?"

"That's right! Starry Sky must give up Shabak!"

"Yes! They should also compensate us for our losses! Caesar should abdicate and hand over the Starry Night Guild to everyone!"

Everyone was insanely jealous.

Seeing Xingchen receive the reward is even worse than losing your own equipment.

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace.

After getting rid of their NPC pets, some players began rushing towards the stars.

I want to make one last attempt.

"Charge! The fact that Starry Sky was able to capture Shabak before the event even started means there's no time limit!"

"As long as we destroy the core of Shabak, we can reclaim the rewards!"

The leaders of the major guilds charged forward while shouting.

A cold smile crept across Zhou Yi's lips.

There is indeed no time limit for sieges.

However, once the allotted time has elapsed, the core of Sand City will be enveloped in a protective shield, becoming invincible.

Even if you kill everyone in Shabak, it won't matter, you just can't take it over.

But these guys seem to have forgotten one thing: night has already fallen.

Although protected by holy light and not losing attributes upon death, the Nightfall debuff reduces all attributes by 80%.

Zhou Yi threw a living bomb over there.

No need for finishing blows; once the explosions start, there's no stopping them.

Nine-fold enhanced living bombs spread rapidly through the crowd.

A dozen seconds later, only the Starry Sky players remained in the palace hall.
