Chapter 126 -123 Attack on Wisdom Ancient Tree Space
When the American Zone mobilizes, it signifies the opening shot of the National War. Consequently, the European Union took action, the sparsely populated Hell Race in South Korea moved as well, and Russia, coming over to ‘pay a visit’, also stirred. All nations and all players registered for war got wind of it and were mobilized. Although everyone was in the dark about what exactly was happening, wouldn’t a quick visit unravel these military secrets? Presumably, it’s a general offensive.
Thus, this parade, akin to the Emperor’s New Clothes where nobody wanted to be seen as ignorant and lose face for their country, roared forth with tacit understanding, enveloping the route with dust and grandeur towards, the final destination: the square of the Demon Camp.
The moment of truth was finally unveiled—it was a call to grand action!
The flames roaring, Siriel started pulling one leading Mage from each Watchtower to set up a massive Array in the square.
The team from the Indian Zone stood majestically by the Array, waiting eagerly. Then the China Region arrived and stood beside them, with the players from the China Region stretching all the way to the entrance. The players from the China Region and India glanced at each other, chuckling—after all, everyone here was a top player, no explanations needed. Then the Japan Zone and the American Zone followed, with players from various nations arriving one after another. In no time, the Demon Camp was swarmed with tens of thousands of players. Of course, for the large guilds and battle teams, a gathering of tens of thousands was a mere trifle.
Players from various countries squeezed forward to the front of the Array, causing constant commotion.
Seeing everyone appearing to understand what was at stake, a herd of metaphorical alpacas stampeded through Nehru’s heart! What exactly went wrong? Had our operations been discovered in advance? Could it be that others also received the quest to nurture heroes after us? It seemed impossible. Aamirhan had always been in the camp, with no one else contacting the Banshee. But now, the Banshee was right by Siriel’s side—could someone seize this chance to snatch the quest?
Amid Nehru’s unsettled mind, the Array was finally set up. Demons are master teleporters, barely needing Siriel to act personally.
Seeing warriors from all different nations congregate at the Demon Camp, Siriel was immensely reassured. He walked to the center of the Array, detonated a Fireball to silence the whispers across the field, and with a commanding voice that reverberated through the camp, announced: “Welcome warriors from various planes. Today, your arrival is most timely, and it seems you all greatly seek wisdom. Therefore, I see no reason to not grant your wishes. I give you three days—go forth!”
—System Prompt: The battlefield merit task “Attack on the Wisdom Ancient Tree Space” is about to commence, please prepare for entry into the Otherworld!
Suddenly, the audience could no longer hold back their act and burst into fervor—It turned out to be the Wisdom Ancient Tree!
Everyone being high-level players, certainly knew what the Wisdom Ancient Tree implied! It meant a boost in attribute points, skills, levels, and more! No wonder the entire Indian Zone was mobilized—if their entire team visited, it meant an overall strengthening of the Indian Zone’s power!
Of course, the most crucial aspect was that after visiting the Ancient Tree, players could receive inspirations for advanced Master Skills! These inspirations might not benefit every player, but with such a large team and many professional players, the chances of gaining enhancements were much higher than for ordinary players.
Still, despite the abundant benefits, was it really worth mobilizing an entire army? The leaders of various countries were internally dubious.
But seeing the battlefield merit task prompt, the Indian Zone was inwardly ecstatic! Their own task had not faced any threats, but instead, they gained many more helpers!
Nehru, with graceful composure, stepped out from the crowd and bowed to everyone, stating: “Hello everyone! I am Jalvahan Nehru, head of the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guild from the Indian Zone. I am delighted to meet friends from different countries in this significant event. The discovery of the Wisdom Ancient Tree was entirely unexpected. I regard it as an extra reward for our national battle event, an unforgettable memory, and a worthwhile pursuit for this event. Let’s all make an effort together!”
As the first to discover the task, India surely had more benefits! Internally, leaders from other countries cursed.
As an ally and a leader, Igarashi from Japan immediately stood out: “Mr. Nehru is right, this national battle is imperative for us, and obtaining the reward of visiting the Ancient Tree during it is indeed a joyous occasion.”
The Japan Zone clapped enthusiastically, followed by a round of applause from the Indian Zone.
“FUCK!” Howell, feeling deceived, cursed under his breath, but joined in the applause nonetheless.
Ma Yinglong, with a grim face, had no choice but to signal, “Applaud!”
At this moment, the light from the Teleportation Array blazed, and Siriel exclaimed: “Warriors, the gate to the Otherworld has opened, advance!”
Leading the charge, the Indian Zone entered the Array first, with players from various countries following rapidly, causing the light to flash continuously.
—”Hello everyone! I’m the front-line reporter, Witch 007, from Hero News. Currently, I’m using the account of a member of the Dragon Slayer Guild at the Demon Camp to broadcast live to you. As this operation might involve secrets, we cannot provide real-time updates. Anyway, please wait a bit, I’m now entering the Teleportation Gate to follow up with the report. Here, thanks to Midnight Moore for lending the account…”
…
The scene shifts, and over ten thousand players enter a vast prairie shimmering with emerald light, where all players’ Hell Race troops are arrayed across the field, stretching as far as the eye can see, a sea of fiery red Hell Army. Such military power could shake mountains and shake hills!
In the crowd, countless flashlights go off as players from various countries start taking pictures to commemorate this historic moment! Right, the advantage of the Hell Army has always been to roll over everything on the plains. How annoying is it to fight water battles like in the Pool of Radiance?
At the very center of the prairie stands a gigantic tree with human facial features.
That’s the one!
Circling the trunk of the giant tree are countless birds, everyone takes out binoculars and, oh! My God! The Crystal Jade Dragon at the roots and many little stone men, the Mountain Giant! Oh! My God!
Crystal Jade Dragon: Elf Clan Level 7 elite unit, Attack 30, Defense 46, Health 300, Attack Speed 9, Damage 40-70, Magic Resistance 90%, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Light Breath, Spirit Immunity, Master-level Defense Skill, Crushing Charge.
Mountain Giant: Neutral Level 7 troop, Attack 14, Defense 70, Health 500, Attack Speed 7, Move Speed 12, Damage 23-56, Magic Resistance 90%, Special Skills: Grandmaster Defense Skill, Sweeping Attack, Dazing Strike, Spirit Immunity.
After the initial excitement, all players start to feel nervous! The so-called shaking mountains and shaking hills depend on who you’re fighting! Although these troops are wild troops without hero leadership, each unit be it a batch-killing dragon or a row-sweeping giant, how to fight?
No, no, no, they can definitely be defeated, even if it means getting drowned, but the key is, who goes first? On such a huge battlefield, it’s not possible for everyone to rush in at once, there will surely be cannon fodder charging to the front.
Igarashi from the Japan stands out among the crowd, and all eyes from players of various countries are on him. Right, it’s time for the Japan to play a leading role.
Igarashi loudly says, “We’ve come a long way, to China, to support the China Region in battle, so, as the host, China Region should show some initiative!” Immediately, the scene erupts with both applause and boos.
Bullshit! Do they think players from the China Region are fools? Lei Huolong (Ma Yinglong on his account) steps forward with a smile, “Our Hell Race’s strength in the China Region isn’t that great, it’s really hard for us to take on such responsibility, I suggest since this task was taken on by the Indian Zone, they should lead the charge!”
Mr. Nehru hurriedly objects: “No, no, no, this is for everyone’s benefit, I think, as the host, the China Region should go first!”
Ma Yinglong looks towards the Japan: “Let the strongest, the Japan, go first. If you guys don’t dare, the players of the China Region will be very disappointed! I believe the players from all around the world would feel the same.” All Chinese players burst into applause!
Ma Yinglong is extremely satisfied inside, it’s a live broadcast right now, he firmly stands by the nation’s interests, how many points should this add to Dragon Slayer huh! Right, now is the stage for the Dragon Slayer Guild! You Star, you Ninth Heaven, stand by and watch!
Igarashi immediately responds, “We in the Japan fear nothing, however, as reinforcements, guest usurping host isn’t proper, and it damages the image of the host nation China, which is known for its etiquette! Moreover, there has never been a millennia-old tradition in China of letting guest troops lead.”
Mr. Nehru quickly chimes in: “Exactly, exactly! If India, or Japan were the host, we would definitely lead by example.”
Ma Yinglong frowns tightly, it seems he’s being cornered with no way out. Whatever he says now, opponents will grasp a handle to criticize him, leaving curses at home, it would be all too easy to slip up. So it’s better to avoid verbal entanglements to not leave any verbal mistakes.
Ma Yinglong chuckles, “How about this: we play rock-paper-scissors! What does the American Zone think about that?! How about American Zone goes first, players from all around the world are eagerly anticipating American Zone to deliver a Hollywood-level epic battle!”
Picking a quarrel, huh? Ganging up to corner me? I’ll drag the American Zone into this. If the American Zone also dares to shrink back telling the China Region to go ahead, then great, our China Region will stand up and proudly take on the role of world leader for once! After all America’s status is something neither Japan nor India can compare with, and if the American Zone backs down, that changes the nature of the matter.
Howell, without a second thought, laughs: “You guys go rock-paper-scissors!”
Damn you! Trying to mess with me, huh? Alright! Ma Yinglong laughs heartily: “Did you hear that? The American Zone said rock-paper-scissors, let’s go rock-paper-scissors!”
Suddenly, Igarashi and Nehru turn pale! Hmph! You try to mess with me, dare to mess with America? Dare to ignore what America says?
Now, the whole world’s attention is on this “nation-defining” gamble involving three people! Ma Yinglong, sweating nervously, no matter what, within his capabilities, can only defend the nation up to this point. When it comes to it, his decision that ties to the fate of his nation, this status, this position, also greatly differs.
