Chapter 152
The same situation occurred in several towns along the border.
At first, everyone was overjoyed, thinking that the enemy had fled before they had even used their weapons, which saved them some potions. However, as the same thing happened more and more, the Vazetilan players gradually realized that they had been tricked.
"Shit, they stole so much from us, and they just ran away like that...! We were completely screwed!"
Everyone gritted their teeth, burning with anger.
But what’s the use of being angry?
Go after them? We have to go through that damn Border Line 2 again. They have PTSTD, okay?
Why not pursue them? They can't swallow this anger!
Hundreds of people chattered, each offering their own ideas. Suddenly, someone raised his hand: "Border Line 3! They must have come from that side!"
A group of people suddenly realized.
Yes, Olerig County is closest to Border Line 3 and was the first place to find out about being fleeced. That group of people must have built a bridge near Border Line 3, so they were able to come here!
"Okay, let's go over there now! We'll do it quietly and catch them off guard."
Previously, when they followed the main force, they had no decision-making power, which led to them fighting passively most of the time. Now that the high priest has given the order, allowing everyone to form teams freely to fight back, they can now do whatever they want.
Hundreds of people quickly rushed to Line 3, and when they looked out, they saw that it was indeed the case!
They actually secretly built more than ten iron chain bridges!
Haha, since you dare to build this bridge, don’t blame them for attacking through the bridge.
"rush!"
The crowd automatically dispersed to different bridge entrances, preparing to cross the canyon.
The canyon is very deep. Standing on the bridge, you can't see the bottom at all. There is only darkness.
The players who walked onto the bridge couldn't help but shudder: "This place looks weird..."
"A little bit, but don't you think those lowlifes are even more freaky? They can build a bridge in a place like this, how dare they?"
He didn't eat the bear heart and leopard gall, because that thing would easily make people vomit if not cooked properly. He just wanted to prove himself and vowed to never surrender to Vazetilan.
It’s a pity that the people of Vazetilan didn’t understand this feeling. They were so confident just a few minutes ago, but now those who stepped onto the bridge were trembling as they moved forward.
The person in the lead finally reached the halfway point and breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to turn around to encourage the people behind him when he heard a click in his ear.
What's going on?!
He was stunned, and the nightmare of falling into Lake Isenda and drowning instantly rushed into his mind.
On the other side of the bridge, a group of ranged fighters suddenly appeared. They smiled cunningly and then slowly raised their weapons.
Wait! Don't!
Without waiting for him to shout, the ranged attackers threw their skills towards the bridgehead.
The rumble, the crash, the crack of the bridge head and the screams of the people on the bridge mixed together, composing a thrilling melody at the top of the Grand Canyon.
The iron chain bridge was like a broken necklace, with one end falling rapidly. The people on the bridge grabbed the falling iron chain and fell into the deep valley with screams.
At that time, as many people as went up the bridge, as many fell into the canyon. The bottom of the valley, which was originally deep and bottomless, was constantly flashing with white light of resurrection because so many people died, which made the players of Pargas laugh and play.
Without the bridge, no one can get to the other side now, and the players of Vazetilan are gnashing their teeth in hatred.
But unfortunately they had no flying mounts, and could do nothing but stare with their blood-red eyes!

That night, the battle for the continent finally came to an end.
On the continent of Pergas, players ignored the fatigue brought by continuous fighting, hugged each other, and cried with excitement.
In the royal city, colorful lanterns, banners, and flags were hung up by no one. As soon as the players entered the city, they saw lights and decorations everywhere.
The whole country celebrated with thunderous applause. Players on the continent of Pergas hadn't felt so proud in a long time!
"The Capital Planet is so great? The people above us are so great? In the end, didn't they still lose miserably to our Alman Planet? Hahaha!"
Inside the tavern, the drunk players clinked their glasses to celebrate, their wildly excited expressions showing how happy they were.
The people at the next table heard the noise and came over with their glasses raised. Even though they didn't know each other, they all reached a consensus and harmony at that moment.
"Well said, let's do it!"
"Cheers! Long live the continent of Pergas! Long live the planet Alman!"
Where some are happy, others are sad. Compared with the festive atmosphere of the Pergas continent with the sound of gongs and drums, the Vazetilan continent seems to be shrouded in a thick haze.
The mood in Vazetilan has never been so low.
Because they knew that they not only lost this battle, but also lost in an extremely shameful way.
They were the face of the capital planet, how could they lose to those people from Alman planet? If anyone knew about it, wouldn't they be laughed at?
Conference room of the Capital Star Military Department.
Bang!
The holographic projection was turned off, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.
No one spoke for a long time.
Finally, Kingsley stepped forward tremblingly and said cautiously in a voice that was much lower than usual: "Dad, this was an accident..."
Swish—a sharp look shot towards him.
"Do you have the right to speak here?"
Kingsley tensed up, biting his lower lip and not daring to say anything more.
"Uncle, it's all my fault for not giving orders properly. Blame me if you want to."
Seeing this, Edie stood up, but unexpectedly, like Kingsley's secretary father, she also got a glare from her own father.
"It's not your turn yet!"
Edie was frustrated and stepped back with her fists clenched.
After a few seconds, everyone's eyes were cast on one person - Arthur.
The Admiral tapped his fingers hard on the marble tabletop, his tone and face filled with anger. "If you can't even handle a simple game, what else can you do? You're useless! All the things I taught you, you just threw them away."
Arthur lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
The major general at the side tried to smooth things over with a smile, "General Han, your son really can't be blamed for this. You've seen the video. My son, Edie, bears the greatest responsibility. He was the commander-in-chief. He's to blame for not taking over the Pergas continent."
Edie's eyes flashed, and Kingsley tilted his head, looking at him with some worry and some sympathy.
Everything about Edie is good: he is handsome, has a strong background, and is smart. The only thing that didn't work out for him is his snobbish father, Major General Bart. In order to please General Han, this old man often pushed his son to take the blame.
There are quite a few that I knew when I was a child.
Fortunately, Edie is a patient person and has been emotionally stable since childhood, otherwise he would explode in a minute if that happened to him.
Seeing Major General Bart take the initiative to take the blame, Han Rantai narrowed his eyes and accepted this explanation as a matter of course. However, in order to pretend, he still pretended to reprimand Arthur a few words.
Arthur was quite obedient and kept nodding to admit his mistakes.
The son of the number one person in the Capital Star’s military department nodded and admitted his mistake. What else can the rest of them say?
I can only point at my own son and scold him for not living up to his expectations.
So Edie was scolded by her father again, and Kingsley didn't escape either.
Bang.
As soon as they left the meeting room, Kingsley couldn't help but complain, "Edie, why is your dad still like this? If we say we're all at fault, no one can escape responsibility. He can't just point at you and scold you alone."
Edie stopped and turned back expressionlessly: "If you don't scold me, will you scold him?"
It goes without saying who "he" refers to.
Arthur choked up: "I'm sorry..."
Edie: “No.”
After saying that, he lifted his foot and turned straight into the elevator next to him.
Kingsley hurriedly pulled Arthur in and chased after him.
"Well, it's my fault that I can't speak well. Don't be angry with me!" Kingsley put his arms around their shoulders, one on each side, and said with a smile.
Edie raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "How could that be? We grew up together. If I get angry over this, I'd be too petty."
Kingsley immediately grinned: "That's right, this is my good brother Edie!"
Then he turned his head and looked at Arthur who was silent: "And you too, usually say good things about Major General Bart to your father, so that Major General Bart will not blame Edie later."
Arthur nodded repeatedly: "...Yes, I know this."
Ding, the elevator door opened. Edie took Kingsley's arm from his shoulder and walked out of the elevator slowly: "You two should go back. School starts the day after tomorrow. You two probably haven't memorized the mecha theory yet. Be careful not to fail the course."
Kingsley scratched his head: "Hey, you are still careful."
The three of them separated on the spot and each boarded a private airship.
Sitting on the soft single chair, Edie looked at the scenery receding outside the window, as if he saw the scene in his memory of being constantly beaten by his father. He put his hand on his leg and squeezed it.
After a long time, he slowly let go.
In the meeting room, the adults' discussion continued.
Han Rantai called Kingsley's father, Jin Hui, his personal secretary, and said, "Turn on the signal jammer."
Jin Hui changed his previous cold look at his son and bowed respectfully: "Okay."
With a hum, the jammer turned on.
Han Rantai opened the anonymous email he had received recently and enlarged it on the holographic projection.
"That person sent a message again."
