177: National war rewards! Horrible punishment!

Five arrows shot simultaneously!

Bang!

The Seraph, along with the space-time around him, was annihilated!

Hellfire Candle Soul.

Space-Time Slash!

In an instant.

All traces of the Seraph's existence were wiped away.

It was as if.

Such a person had never appeared.

Lin Ye used all his ultimate means, just to instantly kill this guy with one arrow.

In the Forgotten Land.

Lin Ye would never allow any divine power to intervene.

"No matter how many gods eternal still has."

"As long as I am here for one day."

"This place will be a forbidden zone for gods!"

...

System Announcement!

Demon Lord, outside the Moon Shadow Royal Capital, destroyed the Sacred Light Kingdom's allied army led by Ex in one move!

Since the Sacred Light Kingdom's allied army was completely annihilated in this war, with no survivors, their war with the Moon Shadow Kingdom is automatically judged as a defeat!

All players under the Sacred Light Kingdom's allied forces will have their levels reduced by 10, and all skill levels reduced by 10.

All players in the Sacred Light Kingdom will have their experience and proficiency gain efficiency reduced by 30%, and the refresh rate of monsters and resources within the country will be reduced by 30%. This negative effect will last for 30 days (eternal time).

"What the hell?"

"There are such rules?"

"Everyone's level drops, how many tens of billions would that cost?"

"No, no, no, money is easy to say."

"The key is that for the next month, experience and proficiency are halved. That's what hurts the most, okay?"

"Serves them right!"

"They came over on their own to start a war, and then they were wiped out in less than a day."

"Hahaha, mysterious confidence~"

"Did they really think Demon Lord's combat power was just for show and he couldn't fight?"

"Laughing to death~"

"Do you think this is still reality?"

"What about reality? It's not a hundred years ago. If he dares to come now, do you believe he'd be wiped out even faster than this time?"

Chinese players directly popped champagne on the forum, while North American players were all silent.

"Completely wiped out?"

"It ended in less than a day?"

"The fastest ended war in history."

"White France would have something to say after seeing this, 'I at least lasted a few days back then!'"

"What's going on?"

"I didn't participate in the war, why am I being sanctioned?"

"You are part of the Sublime Legion, so sanctions are appropriate. But I'm not even part of the Sublime Legion, we are neutral, why are even our experience points being sanctioned?"

"Where's the official word? I'm not convinced!"

"This sanction is absolutely unfair. The war wasn't fought by us, why should we bear the consequences?"

Even more devastated than North American players were those players from small European countries. They didn't participate at all, yet they inexplicably suffered an experience reduction.

As for South Korean and Japanese players, they were already trembling in a corner of the forum.

"This sanction, it doesn't seem to include us, right?"

"No, no!"

"We are from the Moon Shadow Kingdom, we are a victorious nation, maybe there will even be rewards~"

...

System Announcement!

The Moon Shadow Kingdom, under the leadership of Regent Demon Lord, successfully crushed the invading enemy!

All players under Regent Demon Lord's influence will have their levels increased by 10, and all skill levels increased by 10.

All players in the Moon Shadow Kingdom will have their experience and proficiency gain efficiency increased by 30%, and the refresh rate of monsters and resources within the country will be increased by 30%. This positive effect will last for 30 days (eternal time).

"Nani!"

"There are really rewards?"

"Aish, we're taking off! If my level and proficiency both increase by 10, I can directly go for my 3rd advancement!"

South Korean and Japanese players were just getting excited when they suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, why don't I have any level increase?"

"Didn't we win?"

Tsk~

The Chinese players almost burst out laughing when they saw this.

"What are you? Do you even qualify to be under Demon Lord's command?"

"Scared me to death!"

"I thought Demon Lord was recruiting just any trash~"

"Regret!"

"The ANG Legion was recruiting yesterday, and I didn't go because I saw the war coming... This is a huge loss of 10 levels in one day! 10 levels!"

"Demon Lord, please take me in! I don't need a salary, really, I'll do anything!"

"Your Highness the Regent, do you think my job as a gatekeeper in the Forgotten Land is acceptable?"

...

Before the System Announcement was issued.

Lin Ye was about to deal with the last cross-country teleportation array.

Oriental Pride Snow suddenly sent a message asking, "With a full team wipe, is the national war about to be decided?"

"Almost. There are still some remnants and one more teleportation array. Once those are dealt with, it should end," Lin Ye replied.

"We speculate that the national war will most likely have system rewards and penalties. Now... you immediately merge Blood War over, and then kick out all the rebellious areas from Moon Shadow," Oriental Pride Snow directly stated the plan.

"Will you also receive rewards even if you didn't participate?"

Lin Ye hadn't really thought of this, nor had he expected her unyielding personality to actually think of exploiting a bug.

"There's a slight issue. If you can pick me up and let me and Bian Yuerong participate in the final battle, it should be more stable," Oriental Pride Snow suggested.

Lin Ye thought about it, it seemed possible.

After all, this was a national war, not a small guild skirmish.

As long as one was a citizen, whether they participated or not, they would inevitably share the nation's fate and receive both penalties and rewards.

Of course.

Before this declaration of war, Ex might have already planned to lose.

After all, their main force was just to tie him down. The one truly responsible for the sneak attack and executing the core of the plan was just one person.

Seraph!

Unfortunately.

Ex also seemed unaware that the Seraph was a closed beta player, and that the Alliance of Gods existed.

He was even more unaware that the Seraph disregarded even the God Lord's commands, harboring intentions to replace the gods. The first thing he did upon arriving in the Forgotten Land was to try and recruit him.

So, even if they lost after declaring war on Moon Shadow, they didn't lose to the Empire.

If there were national war rewards, then ninety percent of Moon Shadow's players came from South Korea and Japan, who were their own allies, so it wasn't much of a loss.

Lin Ye, as a Phantom, arrived at Moon Shadow Palace.

First, using his Regent authority, he set all areas outside the Royal Capital as traitorous and hostile.

This way, even if there were rewards, these traitors wouldn't get them.

Then.

Lin Ye gathered Bian Yuerong and Oriental Pride Snow, and then headed to the teleportation array.

"Thank you."

Bian Yuerong said sincerely, "If the plan succeeds later, we will convert all physical rewards into cash value for you."

"I don't care about those things," Lin Ye said casually.

Bian Yuerong felt a sense of relief.

Lin Ye's expression then darkened, "But as partners, you really haven't shown corresponding value. I don't think there's any need for you to force yourselves to participate in the next national war, is there?"

"I..." Bian Yuerong had just received top-level orders to maintain a good relationship with him no matter what, and now they were about to part ways?

Hmph!

Oriental Pride Snow, hearing this, immediately glared and said, "Aren't you just trying to take advantage of the situation? What conditions do you want? Just say it!"

"Chief Aoxue?!"

Bian Yuerong was instantly startled and quickly pulled her aside, whispering, "We're here to solidify our relationship, not to blow up a bunker~"

Unexpectedly.

Oriental Pride Snow completely ignored Bian Yuerong's pulling and instead snorted coldly:

"He's not short on money, and no one has better equipment than him. What else could he want?"

"He's a pervert!"

"If this works out, at worst, the two of us can just make him happy~"

Pfft~

Bian Yuerong spat out a mouthful, her face turning pale with fright.
