Chapter 145
The continent of Vazetilan.
The demon leader stood on a high platform made of stones, raising his arms passionately.
"For hundreds of years, we, the demons, have been banished from the continent of Pergas, living in humiliation, waiting only for a chance to return. Now that time has arrived, I implore all our generals and ministers to unite and unite against this common enemy, so that we can quickly reclaim the territory that rightfully belongs to our great demon race!"
The deep voice spread in all directions. On the Demon Plain, the armored demon warriors raised their weapons and shouted in unison!
Not far from the plain, a large crowd of players were also watching with excitement.
"Is the battle finally about to begin? I'm so excited!"
"It's time to deal with these bastards. We need to let them know who is the master of the Theta Galaxy!"
"That's okay. Let's give them a taste of the sweetness first. Three days from now, when we have interoperability between the two mainland China and mainland China, we'll use our absolute strength to make them experience what hell is like."

On the continent of Pergas, the world channel is much quieter than before.
In the past, we teamed up to do dungeons, to kill monsters in the wild, to go on adventures in the sea... there was everything from people just watching for fun to joking around.
However, today, all the players are silent in the channel as if they have taken tranquilizers.
Occasionally there are a few questions about tasks, and the message just hangs at the top and doesn’t refresh for a long time.
The Vazetilan player who came to inquire about the news looked through the silent world channel and the deserted royal city, and couldn't help but curl his lips. He took a screenshot of the deserted streets and sent it back to the base camp.
[Enemy Situation Survey Results [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3]…]
After more than ten seconds, people in the group responded.
So few people? Don't official statistics show that there are around 40 million players on Alman?
[Heh, probably the highest daily active player, right? After all, how many people in that poor place can afford an expensive holographic cabin?]
[Then we'll crush them in this attack by outnumbering them!]
"Yes, we have 60 million online players right now. Counting the 2 million demons, we have 22 million more players than them. Having more heads in the game means we have an advantage. There's a 100% chance that the Pergas Continent won't be able to withstand this wave."
[Tsk tsk, this is so boring! I thought they'd put up a last-ditch fight to make me happy, but after all these days of careful preparation, this is all they get? Ugh, so boring!]
Looking at the messages in the group, the investigator raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.
Suddenly, the private chat box began to shake, and he immediately clicked it.
[Edie: Is the royal city really so sparsely populated?]
He raised his head, looked at the street which was indeed devoid of life, and replied: [Absolutely true]
The other end: [Okay, thank you for your hard work. Continue to observe the Royal City for the next few days. Be careful to conceal your identity. If you find anything unusual, let us know immediately.]
【good】
After closing the private chat, Edie raised her head and looked at everyone's happy faces, her brows still furrowed.
"What's wrong, Edie? Is there something wrong?" Pastor Caroline noticed his expression and asked with concern.
Edie looked ahead at the border with the Pergas continent and said, "Something doesn't seem right."
Caroline blinked. "Not quite?"
He hummed.
"The first time Arthur and I set foot on the Pergas continent was in a city on the western outskirts of the continent called Noto. Even in a small outskirts city, there were quite a few players, and shops were everywhere."
"The second landing was in the forest outside the northwest town, in order to ambush the female star official. You were involved in this, so you know it very well. There are many horseshoe prints on the forest floor, which shows that even in a remote wilderness map, many players have passed through this place."
"Just think about it, on a continent where players are everywhere in marginal cities and remote maps, how could their royal city be so empty?"
Caroline's pupils gradually widened: "You mean...what the investigator saw was fake?!"
"That's possible." Edie frowned, paused, and then said, "I don't think the incident at the Holy Snow Mountain was a coincidence. The demon reconnaissance team led by Xiao Shitou was wiped out by that female star officer. I suspect she may have learned something."
If the previous words surprised Caroline, Edie's current suspicion made Caroline sneer.
"That female star officer? Okay, I admit she's quite capable, but so what? She can take out a reconnaissance team, two, three, thousands, tens of thousands? And, can she fight against 62 million of us?"
Edie's brows furrowed. "What if she calls on the entire continent to resist?"
Caroline burst out laughing. "Edie, I know you're under a lot of pressure to take on this attack, but please remember one thing: there's no planet in the Theta Galaxy that can fight against our capital planet."

In the royal city of the Pergas continent, after discovering that the NPC with the ID [Old Man Selling Charcoal] had left, the players began to appear in various corners, including streets, stores, and alleys.
"That damn spy! He actually disguised himself as an NPC to check on the enemy. I really want to kill him!"
"He's quite courageous. He actually dared to come to our royal city alone. If it weren't for Boss Mo Se's advance warning, he would have died a hundred times already."
When [Ink] was mentioned, players couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks to her, we discovered that people from Vazetilan had arrived on the continent. Otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark."
"Yes, she reported the enemy situation to the king, and the king issued us orders and tasks. We on the Pergas Continent are working together. I don't believe we can deceive those bastards in Vazetilan!"
While the players praised Xia Mo for his timely warning, they also cursed the dirty thoughts of the players on the Capital Star.
"Alright, alright, there's no point in engaging in a war of words. If a war really breaks out in three days, it will all be decided with fists. Everyone, hurry up and level up. Get as much equipment as you can and train your battle pets as much as possible. In short, we don't seek credit, but we absolutely must not bring shame to our planet, Alman!"
When everyone heard the voice, they stood up straight in an instant: "Yes!"
*
The story begins with Xia Mo secretly killing two demons.
The two demons were scouts and signalmen of their tribe. After she assassinated them, the teleportation array near the royal city was destroyed.
Asaya lost her contact and was unable to make further contact with the demons. In the end, she was forced to take the risk and let the golden pigeon pass on the message.
However, what Asaya didn't know was that her pigeon didn't even fly out, but was shot down by a hunter player halfway.
In fact, from the moment Xia Mo took on the special mission, she had reported the matter to King Cyril.
The letter from the Holy Snow Mountain is the best example.
In black and white, the conspiracy between the demons, the players of the Vazetilan continent, and the wizard Asaya was almost completely explained. Coupled with the carrier pigeon message received from the captain of the No. 2 border line, everything proved that the neighboring continent wanted to wipe out the royal city and occupy Pergas in one fell swoop!
King Cyril was immediately furious and threatened to teach the rebels and Vazetilan a lesson.
A plan was spoken through Xia Mo's mouth.
When the king heard this, his anger immediately subsided: "Okay, then do as you say."
The engineering masters, led by Edmund, were summoned overnight. Under their guidance, all military equipment was produced in large quantities. The newly promoted enchanter Matthew was appointed the chief enchanter, responsible for enchanting all soldiers in the royal city. There were also inlay masters, jewelers, blacksmiths, and cooks...
The leaders of various professions took the initiative to step forward and provide support to the royal city.
Of course, all this was done quietly. Except for a few high-level players like Xia Mo who knew the inside story, no one else knew anything.
As for the players? It's easy to solve. As long as King Cyril issues a secret anti-enemy mission in his name, smart players will naturally know what to do.
Are there enemies spying on Border 2? Warlock players team up to activate illusion skills to cover up the scene inside the border.
Is there a spy in the royal city trying to figure out the truth? Let's play hide-and-seek with him and make sure you don't get to know the real situation in the royal city.
Is the traitor sending a letter via carrier pigeon? What are you still standing there for? The third-class merit is delivered to your door, so why not grab it?
Oh, and there's a demon squad coming to scout? It's even simpler. The assassin player will go up and bludgeon each of them. No matter how tough you are, two fists can't stand up to four hands. Send you to see God!
When it comes to being cunning, no one is more experienced than the players from Alman Star who have been playing the game for more than half a year.
Days passed, and on the evening of February 13, the night before the bilateral mainland connection, Edie stood on the peak of the Holy Snow Mountain with a telescope in hand, observing carefully.
In the picture magnified N times, one can see that in the beacon tower on Border Line No. 2, the soldiers were dressed in tattered clothes, with listless faces, and some were even sleeping with their heads tilted against the wall.
Below the beacon tower, the sentries stood in a crooked position, not even caring about the boiling water in the pot next to them.
Looking to the side, I saw a group of players killing wild monsters on the high ground nearby. However, their skills were so bad that five or six people surrounded a monster but couldn't even take it down.
Edie raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
A bunch of trash.
It seems that only the female star official is powerful, and the overall quality of other players and NPCs is not high.
He put down the telescope and walked down the hill with satisfaction.
However, not long after he turned around, the scene of Border Line No. 2 that he had just seen began to repeat itself.
But he had no way of knowing all this.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Vazetilan and Pergas were officially connected.
As soon as the passage was opened, thousands of troops rushed to the Holy Snow Mountain in an instant, trying to break through Border Line No. 2.
The warlock player who was responsible for creating the illusion withdrew his hand with a smirk on his face. The illusion disappeared, and suddenly rows of anti-aircraft gun barrels appeared on the border line.
The Vazetilan players who were running at full speed were all wide-eyed when they saw this!
"Oh no, Captain, there's a cannon on the other side!"
"Hurry, find cover and hide!"
The neat and orderly team was instantly disrupted by the scene before them. While they were running for their lives, the shells had already been fired out of the barrels, rumbling right next to their ears!
Snow shards flew and branches flew everywhere. This counterattack came too suddenly, catching the players on the Holy Snow Mountain off guard!
Rows of people fell down in groups and turned into streaks of light and disappeared.
The assault troops were blocked on the mountainside, with no way forward or backward. The player leading the assault had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and shouted at everyone to keep charging forward.
"All priests and warlocks, protect at least three DPS. Anyone who fails to meet the requirements will be punished when we get back! All DPS, charge forward! Don't slack off. If you delay the attack of the rear team, you will never survive in Vazetilan again!"
Under pressure from the order, everyone had to charge forward.
The artillery fire continued, filling the sky above the Holy Snow Mountain with smoke.
This side of the border.
"Damn, there are so many of them, we can't hold them back with just these few cannons!"
"We only have 50 shells left. Five more rounds at most and we'll be face to face with them!"
Several players who had fired the cannons were discussing in panic.
Behind them, Tan Shengge, the president of Luanshi Shengge, instantly turned cold. "Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on! Border 2 is the first line of defense for the Pergas Continent. Anyone who dares to desert will be punished according to the guild rules!"
The complaining player swallowed and fell silent.
Tan Shengge picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and stared at the other side with a serious face.
Half a minute later, he called over the newly appointed Vice President, Swordsman, two weeks ago. "You're doing a good job. Take half the guild and kill anyone who comes close."
The swordsman gripped the dagger at his waist and ran out without hesitation.
Tan Shengge looked at her back and regretted not promoting her to vice president of the guild earlier.
She had good control and strong positioning, and even more valuable was her calm personality. In his opinion, besides the one called Mo Se, the swordsman was probably the second most talented person like her.
I hope she can lead the team to hold on the front line for a while longer.
Because the longer the front line holds out, the more time it can provide for defense in the rear.
