The League's Bounty!

[Hermes' Blood Potion]

[Quality: Legendary-Grade.]

[Effect 1: After consumption, attack speed is permanently +150%, and movement speed is permanently +50%.]

[Effect 2: After consumption, every 5 attacks you make can reduce the enemy's physical/magic defense by 20%, and deal additional true damage equal to physical attack x 200%.]

[Description: A special potion refined using the blood of a deity as raw material, containing a trace of divine power.]

[Additional Affix: Amplification (Blue): Potion effects are increased by 30%.]

[Note: This potion only takes effect upon the first bottle consumed.]

...

As expected of a Legendary-Grade potion.

The bonuses provided are quite excellent.

A 195% attack speed bonus, and a 65% movement speed bonus.

There's also the additional defense reduction and true damage effects.

It's fair to say that even a player with an ordinary Ranger Class, as long as they consume this potion, their strength would see a massive boost in a short time, promoting them to the ranks of the strong among players of the same tier.

"Gulp!!"

Chen Ming did not hesitate for a second. He opened the potion and downed the blood-red liquid in one go.

In an instant, a wave of warmth radiated from within his body.

"With my current attack speed, I estimate I can fire over fifty arrows in a single second."

As he spoke, Chen Ming was in high spirits.

Over fifty arrows a second, combined with the effect of the title [Ill Form the Arm].

One could say that his current output capability alone was enough to rival a small army.

"Next up is the violent potion."

Chen Ming immediately activated his talent on the [violent potion].

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [violent potion], obtaining a Tier 1 enhancement.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the item — Brutal Strength (Legendary-Grade).]

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [violent potion], successfully adding a Purple Affix — Violent Warhammer.]

[Brutal Strength Potion]

[Quality: Legendary-Grade.]

[Effect 1: After consumption, physical attack/magic attack power is permanently +500 points.]

[Effect 2: Critical rate +30%, Critical damage +200%.]

[Additional Affix: Violent Warhammer (Purple): Attacks carry an explosion effect, dealing physical damage equal to physical attack x 80% to all enemies within a range of (3m x 3m).]

[Description: Big hammer 80, small hammer 40. This hammer of mine is 500, can you handle it?]

[Note: This potion only takes effect upon the first bottle consumed.]

...

The effect of the Brutal Strength Potion was absolutely insane.

Not only did it provide a high physical/magic attack power bonus, but the additional affix gave his attacks an effect similar to an explosion.

Every single hit dealt area-of-effect damage.

In a battlefield, this effect would be a total mob-clearing machine.

"The undead army is about to start their full-scale assault. This potion came at the perfect time."

A smile played on Chen Ming's lips as he decisively downed the potion in his hand.

A burning sensation surged through his body.

Chen Ming glanced at his attribute panel.

His physical attack had reached a staggering 4,850 points.

Compared to players of the same level, it was simply a dimensional strike.

In fact, many Tier 2 or even Tier 3 players might not necessarily possess a physical attack value this high.

[Notice: The second phase of the world event has begun.]

[The undead army has begun a full-scale siege. All Alliance Faction players, please be prepared.]

The cold announcement suddenly popped up before the eyes of all Alliance Faction players.

Then, the grand sound of a horn suddenly echoed.

Following that, the entire Russell Fortress instantly became chaotic.

Dwarves, Elves, Humans... the dense Alliance army surged onto the city walls like a tide.

As for all Alliance Faction players, they were forcibly teleported outside the Russell walls by a mysterious force.

Chen Ming's vision blurred for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he was standing on the desolate plains outside Russell Fortress.

"Is this... using all the players as cannon fodder?"

Chen Ming frowned slightly.

Not just him, many Alliance Faction players realized this as well.

[Notice: The three major Alliance forces—Humans, Dwarves, and Elves—will join the war in 30 minutes.]

The prompt that appeared confirmed Chen Ming's suspicion.

And right at that moment...

"Roar! Roar!!"

Earth-shattering roars suddenly erupted.

The ground began to shake violently.

Then, a dense army of undead crawled out from beneath the earth.

The sheer numbers were like a tide, stretching as far as the eye could see.

And behind the endless undead army were a large number of Undead Faction Players.

"Holy crap, what the hell? Why are we being used as cannon fodder while the players on the Undead side get to hide safely behind their army?"

"The difference in treatment between these factions is way too big."

“Damn it, why wasn't I assigned to the Undead Faction?"

Many players on the Alliance Faction side showed expressions of envy upon seeing this.

If it weren't for the fact that their faction identity was already locked and could not be changed, many Alliance Faction players would probably have defected on the spot to join the Undead Faction.

[Announcement: During this phase of the world event, Alliance Faction players will receive double contribution points for every Undead Faction player they kill.]

[The Human, Elf, and Dwarf Alliance has issued a bounty announcement.]

[Bounty 1: Kill the Lich Overlord (Level 40 Dark Gold Grade Boss)

Reward: 1,000,000 contribution points, 200 free attribute points, Lich Heart (Epic-grade).]

[Bounty 2: Kill the Headless Knight Commander (Level 40 Dark Gold Grade Boss)

Reward: 1,000,000 contribution points, 200 free attribute points, Headless Knights Knight-Lord Lance (Epic-grade)]

[Bounty 3: Kill the Undead Sovereign (Level 40 Dark Gold Grade Boss)

Reward: 1,000,000 contribution points, 200 free attribute points, undead remains (Epic-grade).]

...

As the series of announcements popped up,

Three crimson dots immediately appeared on the maps of all Alliance Faction players.

The Alliance Faction players who were just complaining about the unfairness now all went wild.

Double contribution points!

And three major bounties, with rewards that were all Epic-grade.

"Charge!"

"Damn it, let's give them everything we've got!"

"Double points, any kill is a profit!"

Amidst the shouts, almost all Alliance Faction players charged toward the undead army simultaneously.

Under the temptation of absolute profit, no one cared about anything else anymore.

Chen Ming's eyes also lit up.

"Undead Sovereign..."

"The target for the Hunter class awakening quest!"
