Forgot... they can still play Hearthstone and go home!
Sakura First Sword Saint's first death was a humiliating one.
He had an orange talent and the Sakura Country placed high hopes on him.
Yet, in the Zhenhai City battlefield, under the watchful eyes of countless people, he was backstabbed by a black wolf!
One must know, this was being live-streamed on many platforms!
At that time, his attempt to ambush Zhou Yue from behind failed, and he was counter-killed by a black wolf... it could be said his name spread throughout the world!
If the first time was due to carelessness, then being instantly killed a second time after getting up was truly losing face to the entire world!
Now, Little Japan's netizens were already in an uproar, demanding that Sakura First Sword Saint commit seppuku... it was too humiliating!
Yang Jian's first move on the battlefield truly astonished everyone.
Everyone knew his attack power was high, but fighting people and fighting monsters were, after all, different!
But now that the facts were laid bare, it seemed there wasn't much difference... both were instant kills!
Since Yang Jian had made his move, he naturally began a sweeping mode.
Multi-Shot, Splitting Arrow, Multi-Shot, Scatter Shot, Barrage... Yang Jian, with his more than 20,000 attack power, primarily targeted tanks.
Other players died if he merely grazed them, with no chance of survival.
Yang Jian stood his ground, single-handedly exuding the aura of a vast army.
Soon, with him as the center, within 500 meters ahead, there were no survivors!
The battlefield once again fell silent.
This rhythm, not to mention the fighters being at a loss, even those watching the live stream didn't know how to describe it... so many people died in one breath, and the allied forces not only didn't dare to advance, they even retreated dozens of meters.
After all, they weren't fools; after reading the combat log, even ordinary players knew Yang Jian had arrived... Now, Yang Jian replaced Zhou Yue, standing in the center of the crowd, receiving the baptism of everyone's focused gazes.
The old saying goes, 'Ten thousand people are dense; a hundred thousand people are boundless!'
The allied forces, who had been psychologically traumatized by Zhou Yue, were then further battered by Yang Jian's indiscriminate attacks... Now, a force of ten thousand people gave the impression of a hundred thousand... Little Japan's commander revived again, appearing once more at the very front of theTeam.
"Hold your hand!"
Yang Jian wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to see what this little devil, who had already died four or five times, would do first!
"Yang-san, I've long admired your name."
"You know me?"
"Now, anyone playing 'salvation' probably knows your illustrious name. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Little Japan performed a standard ninety-degree bow.
"How pleased?"
"Ah?"
"How pleased are you to meet me?"
"I feel supremely honored!"
Yang Jian raised an eyebrow: "Then why aren't you hurrying to kneel and kowtow to me?"
The entire scene fell silent.
Zhou Yue buried her face in her hands, feeling like she couldn't bear to watch!
Little Japan's greatest ability was to endure humiliation with a smile.
"Yang-san, you're joking. You see, both sides have suffered heavy losses in this conflict! At this uncertain time for Blue Star, shouldn't we turn swords into plowshares!"
If earlier, they still harbored the idea of dominating Zhenhai City.
Now, first, Zhou Yue charged in and out of the ten-thousand-strong army seven times, coming and going freely!
Then Yang Jian instantly killed everyone with one arrow, regardless of their health, whether they were tanks or healers!
The key was, even his Splitting Arrow, with reduced attack power, could instantly kill players... Crucially, the opponent had three vice-guild leaders like Zhou Yue!
And there was also Tianmu Zhenjun, who was far ahead on the ranking board!
He already had a premonition!
This time, they probably wouldn't win... They also feared experiencing unbearable pain in life... "You say you want Zhenhai City, so you dare to snatch it. You say you don't want to fight, so you want to divide Zhenhai City equally?"
Yang Jian snorted with a laugh.
"Just with you rotten fish and shrimp?"
To be honest, if this had been said at the start of the war, many players from the Four Great Nations would probably have seriously considered whether to accept the other party's suggestion!
After all... there was indeed a significant numerical disadvantage!
But now, we have a decisive advantage... and they still want to stop fighting?
Not only will we fight, but we will pursue them!
The ten thousand players behind Yang Jian looked anxiously at the figure in front.
Having witnessed the strength of Zhou Yue and Yang Jian consecutively, they were now all willing to be obedient children who followed orders!
Without even turning to look at the expressions of the crowd, Yang Jian knew what the player army behind him was thinking!
Talk your ass off, let's kill them first!
Yang Jian looked at the current positioning on the field, then at the little devil in front of him!
He chuckled, then raised his skyfire hawk bow again.
The moment he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, Yang Jian suddenly thought.
Should this bow be replaced?
Little Japan's commander's face changed, turning grim.
Today was truly unlucky, how many times had he died?
Yang Jian, who had long turned off the system's auxiliary attack effects, now had an attack range entirely linked to his strength attribute!
If it weren't for the poor quality and attributes of the bow, it wouldn't be difficult for him to shoot an arrow five kilometers!
But for a level 10 purple equipment like the skyfire hawk bow, if he were to really do that, its durability would instantly drop to zero.
Even so, within a range of 1000 meters, Yang Jian could hit whatever he aimed at!
Unfortunately, weapons were already scarce, and a large portion had been consumed by him... He used to think it didn't matter, but after today's battle!
He decided to get a better bow when he had the chance!
Yang Jian had been watching the allied forces and the Four Great Nations players fight for a long time.
He was already intimately familiar with their command system.
Since he decided to start fighting!
He would go all out!
First, he would call out the leaders of each country one by one, then kill the healers, then the tanks... Occasionally, he would use the knowledge taught by Professor Lao Ma to dodge incoming attacks!
The moment Yang Jian made his move.
The players from the Four Great Nations behind him, led by Mo Suqing, once again launched a charge... "Spread out, keep spreading out, his attack is too high! Instant kill! Even if a Splitting Arrow hits, it's an instant kill..."
Yang Jian never expected to kill all ten thousand-plus allied forces by himself!
Let alone ten thousand people who could run and move, even ten thousand pigs that could run and jump would be annoying to kill!
Although Yang Jian was very strong now, he was far from being able to easily slaughter ten thousand people!
But with Yang Jian leading so many players behind him, it became a crushing victory.
Killing the commanders and tanks, the opponents had almost no power to retaliate!
They had thought about organizing a counterattack, but anyone who showed their head was instantly killed by Yang Jian's raised hand!
Even those rogues who wanted to stealthily ambush were no exception!
As long as they showed their head, an arrow would fly, resulting in an instant kill.
As the opponent's attention was completely focused on Yang Jian.
The various large guilds of the Four Great Nations began to charge forward like they were on steroids!
Star Palace's assassin squad began to exert its power!
Constantly cutting down the backline... As for Zhou Yue, another major combat force, she was prohibited from participating!
The Xia family twins quickly came over, guarding Yang Jian from left and right behind him... The allied forces began a full-scale rout... Half an hour later, not a single standing allied soldier could be seen on the field!
Bai Youyou, while arranging people to clean up the battlefield, shouted through the regional channel.
"Hunters and rogues, stay alert, make sure those guys who come to cause trouble don't hearthstone back to town..."
Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this!
Oh right... they could still hearthstone!
However, hearthstoning takes ten seconds, and in such a large area, with over ten thousand people guarding corpses here!
Where could you possibly find ten seconds for hearthstoning?
It's probably only something you can dream about... Xia Mingruo was very interested in PVP.
She didn't participate in the earlier battles, and by the time she did, the opponent had already collapsed, so she couldn't snatch kills from others... She stood in the middle of the battlefield, her gaze like lightning.
After the battle, she could only rely on her extremely high talent for rapid attacks to pick off those stubborn 'iron-headed' players who were playing dead.
In large-scale military operations, once you're knocked down, it's very difficult to get back up.
This is due to the resurrection mechanism.
After dying, if you run to your corpse and resurrect, you lose 5% of your experience points.
Both health and mana are restored to one-third of their maximum value.
Another option is to resurrect directly at the graveyard.
You lose 10% experience points and will be resurrected in a weakened state!
The so-called weakened resurrection means all attributes are reduced to only 40%, not only health and mana bars, but even strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, and other attributes will be reduced to 40% of their original values!
Therefore, when the Four Great Nations' large army in Zhenhai City entered a disadvantageous position, viewers watching the live broadcast thought it was over and Zhenhai City would fall!
Some radical factions had already released videos angrily criticizing Star Palace!
Unexpectedly, the videos, after playing for half an hour, garnered immense traffic and likes.
The videos turned into spreading false information... it was... quite a complicated situation!
Yang Jian was looking at the mess all over the ground.
He waited for Bai Youyou to bring the three team leaders of the guild to tally the gains and casualties.
Yu Bingning, the number one sister of Lingyun, was leading the acquisition team members in estimating the value of the spoils of war.
"Little Yu, after the compensation plan is released, for those who want cash, pay them all in Four Great Nations coins!"
"Alright!"
Star Palace had already announced that to prevent conflicts over spoils of war.
Star Palace would collect them uniformly.
This calculation was so precise it almost shattered people's faces... But it must be said, it was also a reliable method!
After the value was estimated, a compensation plan would be directly provided!
Star Palace had also arranged for people to record everything.
Those who didn't pick up items on the battlefield, or picked them up but weren't discovered, could all receive compensation!
If they had simply allowed everyone to freely grab and pick up items on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't have achieved the current results.
Fortunately, this time, everyone who came was eager for the first battle of the server, only wanting to fight to their heart's content... They didn't really care much about the spoils of war!
What's more, Star Palace actually paid money!
In the evening.
The situation had largely been settled.
The allied forces were utterly defeated, with all members being corpse-guarded.
Most of them had already gone offline.
Even stealth professions like rogues were useless.
In salvation, professions have a natural counter-relationship!
With so many hunters guarding the scene, it wasn't easy for rogues to escape!
"I see many people at the scene have gone offline!"
"Even if they're offline, we still have to guard them!"
"Exactly, this battle must establish a clear and just order for our Zhenhai City!"
Zhou Yue stood next to Yang Jian.
"How's your body?"
"It's never been better..."
Zhou Yue nodded.
Of course, she wanted to ask about the evolution path, but there were too many people here, so it was better to wait until it was quiet!
At this moment, Mo Suqing also came over.
"Boss, it's really not easy to see you in the game!"
"What are Miss Mo's instructions?"
Mo Suqing lightly raised an eyebrow!
"Now I'm under Guild Leader Yang, awaiting orders, how dare I have any instructions!"
Then, Mo Suqing changed the subject.
"However, how to deal with the more than ten thousand allied forces on site is still a big problem..."
"Can't they still hearthstone back to town?"
"Let them go?"
Mo Suqing was a little surprised, she couldn't tell that Yang Jian was still an idealist?
People had fought their way to their doorstep, and he was still thinking of letting them off?
"Make them pay ransom! Those who pay will be arranged to resurrect and hearthstone! Those who don't pay, well, their fate is up to them! Our guild's assassination squad will guard their corpses for three days first!"
Let them go?
Are you kidding, since they came... shouldn't they leave something behind before they go?
"What about those whose hearthstones are bound to their original cities, and those level 10 players who directly chose Zhenhai City as their residence?"
"We'll organize a siege every three days, forcing them to quickly gather ten gold coins to teleport and get out..."
"People have a compassionate attitude towards the weak. If we do this, won't it cause a nationwide outcry?"
Mo Suqing didn't have any 'saintly mother' ideas; her question was entirely based on practical interests.
After all, being an enemy of the whole world was not a pleasant experience!
Just then, Yang Jian's private message chimed.
Hu Mingwei? What was this big shot doing here?
"Alright, let's not discuss these topics for now! Group Leader Hu from the higher-ups is here, let's see what they have to say first!"
The allied forces' face could be disregarded, but the wishes of the Four Great Nations' higher-ups still needed to be considered!
After all, he wasn't invincible in the outside world yet... "Congratulations, Guild Leader Yang!"
"Director Hu! A rare visitor!"
Yang Jian had only met Hu Mingwei once, when he came to Zhenhai City to trade guild tokens.
Although both sides had added each other as friends, communication was very rare!
"Today truly opened my eyes! I just realized that we are practically not playing the same game!"
"Director Hu has 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, and they will soon catch up!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Jian directly asked about Director Hu's purpose.
"Mainly, I wanted to come and mediate! After all, the Sword of Damocles is still hanging over everyone's heads!"
"Logically speaking, since Director Hu has spoken, we must give him face no matter what..."
Hu Mingwei quickly interrupted with a smile.
"No, no, no! We just want to try mediating and preserve some living forces! If the price can't be agreed upon, I'll immediately hearthstone back to Chang'an City..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian understood the other party's meaning!
Yang Jian wasn't very keen on participating in such bilateral negotiations!
The current situation was that it was impossible for the allied forces to turn the tide!
Even if they sent more players to teleport over now, it wouldn't solve the fundamental problem... What was the fundamental problem?
It was that they couldn't defeat Yang Jian, or even Zhou Yue... If they couldn't defeat these two BOSSes, no matter how many people they sent, it wouldn't play a decisive role!
"Alright, we'll definitely listen to Director Hu!"
It was only after meeting Director Hu Mingwei that Yang Jian decided to adopt a more uninhibited fighting style.
That's why he planned this operation to clear Zhenhai City, actively provoking conflict!
Through the Eye of Heaven, he observed that Earth had actually issued a silent directive to the officials of the Four Great Nations.
They were forbidden from acting against civilian player forces in any form... Without the possible suppression and crackdown from the officials, what was Yang Jian worried about?
Besides the officials, who else could do anything to him?
Tianhai Group?
It wasn't that Yang Jian looked down on them, but if they dared to cause trouble in 'salvation'!
Yang Jian would dare to beat the crap out of them... "Should I communicate with the leaders of the other factions first?"
"Please do!"
Yang Jian originally wanted to leave first and go level up.
Now that the officials were involved, he was even less inclined to stay!
Fortunately, Hu Mingwei was also a shrewd person.
"Guild Leader Yang, if you have something to do, go ahead and be busy. I... should I connect with Vice Guild Leader Bai?"
"Vice Guild Leader Bai is our vice guild leader in charge of business, and she's usually very busy. For matters in this area, you should find Mo Suqing!"
Hu Mingwei didn't mind.
He happily added Mo Suqing as a friend!
Although he couldn't do anything to Star Palace.
But Star Palace's information was already on Hu Mingwei's desk!
So, who was Mo Suqing?
He knew very well...
