42: Start a war? Three thousand elite troops, charge into war!

“Ah, this…”

Seeing Blood War Rivers and Mountains offer to buy everything, everyone instantly felt their hopes dashed.

There was nothing they could do.

They had a military background.

Although they generally didn't compete with players for anything, once they spoke up, who would dare to refuse them?

“Oh, right.”

Lin Ye suddenly smiled.

“I forgot to mention a rule just now: to prevent monopolies, the sale of Time-Space Keys is limited. Each guild can purchase a maximum of 10 keys.”

10 keys?

Who are you looking down on?

Do I, Prosperous Dynasty, look like someone who lacks tens of thousands of gold coins?

Many guild leaders truly wanted to buy more, but Demon Lord had directly confronted the military to open this loophole.

If they dared to say more now, setting aside whether they would die, they would definitely leave a handle for the military, and then Blood War Rivers and Mountains would monopolize it, and they wouldn't even be able to buy a single key.

At the same time.

Bian Yuerong was furious.

What do you mean?

If I didn't say it, you wouldn't have said it.

So it was intentional, then?!

Bian Yuerong’s eyes sharpened, and she directly retorted, “Demon Lord, this rule of yours, you didn’t just come up with it, did you?”

“That’s right!”

Lin Ye readily accepted it and said directly.

“Forgotten Land is a cross-time-space dungeon. Many materials produced there are currently very rare, or even non-existent, in eternal.

“Especially some Master-level NPCs there can craft Epic-grade equipment, including many space-type items. I believe monopolizing this kind of resource is not beneficial at all.”

“I will not monopolize, and I don't want anyone to monopolize.”

“Major Bian comes from the military. I think you should know that monopoly is not conducive to competitive development. You probably don't want to see anyone monopolize this resource, do you?”

At this point.

Even if Bian Yuerong disagreed a thousand times in her heart, she couldn't openly voice her opposition in front of everyone. She could only grit her teeth and nod in agreement.

Meanwhile.

The many guild leaders present were all shocked.

“Master Craftsmen, Epic-grade NPCs?!”

“Oh my god~”

“The level of Forgotten Land is so high, it’s completely a hidden map!!”

“No~”

“That’s not important.”

“The key is the time-space dungeon and special materials. Isn’t this clearly saying that it produces time-space related materials…?”

“Holy crap!”

“So this dungeon really is a prelude to the cross-realm function?!”

“Yes, yes, yes~”

“I saw someone analyze yesterday that if independent spaces like Newbie Village can be pulled into eternal, then the biggest technical problem of cross-realm travel between Blue Star and eternal would be solved.”

“Because, as long as resources are sufficient, eternal can completely pull the entire Blue Star over and embed it!”

Everyone was discussing so loudly that even players outside the village could hear them.

“Holy crap!”

“This dungeon is actually related to cross-realm travel, and it can grant extraordinary power?!”

“My goodness!”

“Demon Lord actually made this kind of thing public. He won’t monopolize it himself, and he won’t let others monopolize it?!”

“This… this is clearly a living immortal~”

“Sir, your righteousness!!!”

“He really is, I’m crying~”

“From today onwards, if anyone dares to badmouth Demon Lord, I, Zhao Ritian, will fight them to the death~!!”

.......

It was only then.

Qi Feng rode his Golden Lion, galloping all the way from the respawn point in Mountain Town.

He had a dark expression, his eyes were bloodshot, and he feigned madness. His Lion Demon Greatsword swung wildly, and with each sweep, a dozen ordinary players instantly fell dead.

“Demon Lord, I will kill you today!”

Qi Feng and the Golden Lion roared in unison, their voices shaking the entire scene.

“You scoundrels, all of you get out of my way~!!”

“Those who block me, die!”

Xiang Jianfeng followed beside him, holding a battle flag high: “Where is the Qitian Elite Group? Charge with me!!!”

Boom!

The three thousand elite members of the battle group, who had prepared early, now revealed their badges in the crowd and mounted their steeds.

“Elite Group, heed my command, War Charge!”

In an instant.

Newbie Village immediately became a battlefield.

The three thousand elite group members were all high-level players, with a minimum of level 50, and for squad leaders, they were all experts who had undergone at least a second advancement.

Bai Shuya and Xia Mo had played for so long and still hadn't completed their second advancement quest.

This showed that the second advancement was by no means easy.

Lin Ye was also a bit surprised to see so many high-level players.

“President Bai, they seem to be quite a bit stronger than you, huh?”

Damn it!

Bai Shuya's delicate body trembled with anger, but she still bit her red lips and explained:

“Second advancement isn’t that difficult for large guilds…”

“As long as one team can complete it, it means they can keep bringing people through afterward.”

Bai Shuya was the owner of ANG Club. She started playing the game quite early, but unfortunately, her luck was poor, her talent was too bad, and she didn't have much gaming experience herself. As a result, she was stuck on her own second advancement quest, and naturally, she couldn't bring club members to complete their second advancement.

As for paying someone to help, she had tried that too.

But those large guilds either prevaricated, or demanded exorbitant prices, and some even made shameless requests, which angered her so much that she immediately created a new alt account and started over!!!

The value of eternal was too high.

Everything was important.

Level.

Of course, that was the most important.

Then job advancement, which restricted levels, was the top priority.

Anyone who had completed their second advancement, unless you could serve them like a slave, even with an exorbitant price, others would not be willing to help you through.

To put it simply.

It was like crossing social classes.

Others certainly had the ability to pull you up.

But this had little to do with money, because the people who pulled you up couldn't possibly be short of money, so they had no motivation to pull you up.

In eternal, it was even more brutal.

Because pulling you up meant adding another competitor.

The price had to be sky-high, even higher than the sky, for them to even consider it.

At the same time.

This was also the root of the power of large guilds.

They had super contracts with their employees. If they dared to help you complete your second advancement, they weren't afraid of you leaving, and you would then dutifully serve them for the rest of your life.

Guilds helping their own members complete their second advancement was profitable, so they were definitely willing and would try their best to bring more people through.

The more people who completed their second advancement, the stronger the guild's power became.

Anyway.

Strong in one step, strong in every step.

Even just a week or two was enough to create a huge gap.

Bai Shuya was just a step slow and didn't keep up with the main force of second advancements. After a month of being stuck, she almost completely lost the advantage of having started the game early.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lin Ye indicated that he understood.

At the same time.

The many guild leaders present were also enraged.

“Is Qitian Group crazy? Is he leading a charge to wipe us all out?!”

“Go stop them!”

“Holy crap!”

“Don’t just stand there, you guys! When an elite group like this charges, even a third advancement can’t stop them~”

Some people got anxious and started shouting chaotically.

Bian Yuerong sat on her black unicorn, calmly and leisurely saying, “Demon Lord, an elite group’s charge is no joke. Consider it. What I said yesterday is still valid today.”

Huh?

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh:

“There’s no need for help. I just think that among the guilds present today, there don’t seem to be many with real strength.”

One sentence.

It directly hit a group of bigshots present so hard that their helmets almost fell off.

“That… that, Qitian Group launched a sneak attack. They put away their badges and blended into the crowd, which is why they caught us off guard.”

“Yes~ exactly!”

“And the announcement came out on short notice yesterday, so we couldn’t gather our people that quickly. You know, eternal’s teleportation arrays are very expensive and rare, so it’s very troublesome to transfer elite groups and experts from far away.”

They explained one by one, barely managing to salvage some of their dignity.

Hehehe~

Lin Ye laughed: “To wage war against me, what does he rely on?!”

Huh?

What did you say?!

Everyone was startled by the words and hadn't reacted yet.

Lin Ye had already drawn his Wangyu Bow, firing at a 45-degree upward angle.

Boom~

A Void Arrow shot from the string.

Lin Ye continuously drew and fired his bow.

Those unstable void trajectories looked like flashes in the sky, completely unpredictable.

In an instant.

Arrows fell one after another, striking the elite group members who had charged into Newbie Village.

-34500

-47007

-70044 Critical Hit!

-40102

.......

A series of damage numbers exploded, and dozens of elite knights instantly fell dead.

They were elites, yes.

But neither their talents nor their equipment could possibly be better than Qi Feng's.

Unless they had a high-defense, high-health build, not many of them could truly surpass Qi Feng in terms of defense and health.

Boom boom boom!

The Void Arrow exploded a second time.

It directly shattered and knocked back many people, scattering blood onto both sides of the street.

The entire charging formation was even thrown into disarray.

Newbie Village wasn't large.

The main road was only one.

For Qitian Guild’s elite group to enter, there was only this one path.

They would face attacks.

However.

Newbie Village also had no retreat.

As long as they charged in, everything would be over.

“Don’t stop, keep charging!”

The leading captain roared.

“He’s just an Archer! This kind of large-area arrow rain skill definitely can’t be sustained. As long as we charge in, we win!”

“Brothers, this time it’s 10x points, what are you waiting for?!”

Xiang Jianfeng shouted from behind.

“The first to charge in gets a 100x point reward!”

“Whoever kills Demon Lord gets a direct cash reward of 10 million!”

Roar!

The elite group, having just suffered a round of casualties, immediately got energized.

“Mage group, cover with area attacks! Control skills ready! Assassins, cut off his retreat! Those in the back, spread out into Battle Formation B!”

“Charge~!!!”
