195: Chapter 195: The Final Offensive Rally – Full of Perks!

The dark aura deep within Black Wind Valley shrank tighter and tighter.

Like a trapped beast driven into a corner.

The day before the general offensive, just as dawn broke, the sound of horns echoed outside Wanlong City.

Wooo—

Wooo—

The low resonance of the dragon horns spread across the entire front line.

The Vanguard Army camp instantly boiled with activity.

"Gather up!"

"The oath-taking ceremony is starting!"

"Brothers, put on your gear, don't embarrass us!"

Over a million participating players poured out from tents, cultivation grounds, supply points, and mining areas.

Warriors shouldered shields.

Mages gripped staves.

Archers carried magic-breaking arrows on their backs.

Assassins hid at the edges of the ranks, their eyes gleaming.

The dragon race elites had also long since formed their ranks.

The Silver Dragon Guard were in front, with the Black-Armored Dragon Cavalry behind them. Huge dragon flags unfurled in the wind, their crimson-gold dragon patterns shining in the morning light.

One hundred thousand Royal Elites stood on the other side, their spears like a forest and their armor plates clashing rhythmically, producing a series of cold, hard sounds.

At the entrance of Black Wind Valley, a vast expanse of level ground had been cleared out.

The million-strong Vanguard Army, the dragon army, and the human elites were all arranged in square formations.

Looking out, it was a dense, black mass of people.

Their momentum soared straight into the clouds.

The world channel simultaneously began a live broadcast of the front line.

"Holy crap, look at this lineup!"

"A million players in formation, with dragon elites holding the field—this is too hype!"

"Won't Qing Yan piss himself when he sees this?"

"Forget Qing Yan, even I'm getting fired up just watching the stream!"

On the city wall, Ao Ningshuang was clad in a dark-gold dragon-scale battle skirt, her silver eyes cold and sharp.

Behind her, Chi Lie and the other dragon generals stood solemnly.

Qing Yu stood on the other side with the personal guards.

Everyone's gaze fell upon the figure at the very front.

Lin Zhe slowly walked onto the high platform at the entrance of Black Wind Valley.

He was still wearing ordinary NPC cloth clothes.

He didn't look flashy.

But the moment he stood up there, the clamor of a million people was forcibly suppressed.

The entire field fell silent.

Only the sound of the churning dark winds in the distant Black Wind Valley remained.

Lin Zhe looked up, his gaze sweeping over the densely packed players and soldiers below.

There was no nonsense.

He spoke plainly.

"Tomorrow, we launch the general offensive on Black Wind Valley."

Just one short sentence.

The breathing of everyone present became heavy at the same time.

Lin Zhe continued, "Qing Yan's seals are gone, his Dragon Flame Bombs are gone, and his secret passages are gone."

"All he has left is his final main stronghold."

"This time, we smash through it."

Boom!

The players below instantly exploded with excitement.

"Smash through it!"

"Kill Qing Yan!"

"General offensive! General offensive!"

The dragon soldiers also raised their weapons in unison, their dragon roars rising wave after wave.

Ao Ningshuang looked at Lin Zhe's back, battle intent churning in her silver eyes.

Lin Zhe raised his hand.

Buzz—

Faint golden law patterns spread from his palm, instantly covering the entire entrance of Black Wind Valley.

In the next second, a server-wide announcement boomed out.

[Server Announcement: The Dragon Domain Black Wind Valley General Offensive Oath-Taking Ceremony has officially begun!]

[All participating Vanguard Army players, dragon allies, and Human Empire elites receive a double buff exclusive to the general offensive!]

[Attack Power +10%!]

[Defense +10%!]

[Duration: Until the end of the general offensive!]

The announcement faded.

Boom!

Vast amounts of golden light crashed into the bodies of every participant like a tide.

The players' stat panels updated frantically.

[You have received the General Offensive Buff: Attack Power +10%]

[You have received the General Offensive Buff: Defense +10%]

A Shield Warrior player stared with wide eyes as his defense skyrocketed.

"My defense just broke a thousand!"

A nearby Berserker slashed at a testing dummy, and the damage numbers jumped significantly.

"Sweet! My attack went up too!"

"This buff is insane!"

"I won't even be scared to charge the front lines tomorrow!"

Lin Zhe didn't stop.

He raised his hand a second time.

The faint golden law patterns exploded once more.

[Server Announcement: During the general offensive, all suppression points earned by participating personnel for killing Dragon Domain rebels are doubled!]

[Drop rewards from all rebel monsters, elites, and bosses are doubled!]

[This rule only applies within the Black Wind Valley general offensive zone!]

When this appeared, the scene went completely out of control.

"Double points?!"

"Double drops too?!"

"Holy crap, nobody stop me tomorrow, I'm charging the first row!"

"In my eyes, Qing Yan's main stronghold isn't a base anymore—it's a reward warehouse!"

The world channel also exploded with messages.

"The front-line players are feasting again!"

"Double points, double drops—who could resist that?"

"Anyone quitting the Vanguard Army now is a total idiot!"

The dragon soldiers were equally excited.

For players, it was about points and drops.

For the dragon race, it was about military merit, settling the rebellion, and reclaiming Black Wind Valley.

Lin Zhe spoke for the third time.

His voice was still calm, but it made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

"After we win..."

"...every participant will be issued an additional ten low-grade dragon crystals."

"Those with outstanding performance can obtain exclusive Dragon Race equipment as rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking...

A server announcement popped up simultaneously.

[Server Announcement: After the Dragon Domain general offensive is victorious, all participating personnel will receive an additional 10x low-grade dragon crystals!]

[Outstanding performers will have the chance to obtain exclusive Dragon Race equipment!]

BOOM!!!

This time, the entire entrance to Black Wind Valley seemed to erupt.

"Ten low-grade dragon crystals per person?!"

"It's not a lottery, but for every single participant?"

"Exclusive Dragon Race equipment! That's gear with Dragon Might attributes!"

"Brothers, if we don't go all out tomorrow, we'll be letting these benefits down!"

"Qing Yan! Don't die too fast! Let me farm some more points!"

The million-strong Vanguard Army let out a roar like a mountain tsunami.

Some raised longswords.

Some slammed their shields.

Some were already checking their potions, quivers, and scrolls.

The dragon race elites were also swept up by this momentum, letting out earth-shaking dragon roars in unison.

Roar—

Dragon cries and player shouts blended together, making the entire Black Wind Valley tremble.

Deep in Black Wind Valley, the dark aura churned violently, as if suffocated by this overwhelming pressure.

Ao Ningshuang took a step forward, her dragon blood sword unsheathing half an inch. Her cold voice rang out across the entire army.

"Dragon Race, hear my command."

"In tomorrow's general offensive, anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law."

"Those who slay rebels will have their military merit doubled."

"For those who can wash away the Dragon Domain's disgrace, I, the Emperor, will personally record your achievements."

The dragon soldiers roared in unison.

"Suppress the rebellion at all costs!"

"Suppress the rebellion at all costs!"

The Royal Elites also raised their spears at the same time.

"Imperial Army, follow the orders of Mr. Lin Zhe!"

The sound waves piled upon each other.

The number of viewers in the live stream was skyrocketing.

The bullet chat was so dense it was unreadable, all repeating the same thing.

"Boss Lin Zhe is incredible!"

"The Lin Family Army will definitely win!"

"Black Wind Valley will surely fall tomorrow!"

Lin Zhe stood on the high platform, his expression still indifferent.

He didn't shout passionately, nor did he say another word of nonsense.

The benefits had been given.

The rules had been set.

All that remained was the fight.

Qing Yu stood behind him, looking at the million-strong army that was practically on fire below, and said in a low voice, "Sir, morale is already at its peak."

Lin Zhe nodded slightly.

"Let them rest."

"We start the war tomorrow."

The order was passed down.

The various formations began to retreat back to their camps in an orderly fashion.

But the atmosphere was now completely different.

The players' eyes were bloodshot, as if Black Wind Valley wasn't filled with rebels, but was instead a giant treasure vault that dropped gear, points, and dragon crystals.

Long lines formed once again at the supply points.

Even more people were outside the cultivation grounds.

The blacksmith shops were brightly lit, the sound of equipment being repaired clanging incessantly.

Dragon soldiers wiped their blades, human elites checked their crossbows, and Vanguard Army squads gathered around defense maps to repeatedly confirm their routes.

The wind at the entrance of Black Wind Valley grew colder.

But the momentum of the million-strong army was already too hot to contain.

Lin Zhe looked back at the churning darkness, his gaze calm.

Qing Yan, inside the valley, had no way out.

And the people outside the valley were just waiting for daybreak.
