Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter 1137 On the Verge

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: On the Verge Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: On the Verge Half an hour later, Li Yao returned to the plains. He noticed that the atmosphere was no longer calm, but had become very delicate, especially between the two camps’ legions. Although they hadn’t mobilized yet, the tension was evident, as if they were ready to burst into conflict at any moment.

Even the players sensed that something was amiss. Many had quietly left, not wanting to be involved, but many others were excited. Chaotic places, though dangerous, were rife with opportunities.

Li Yao wore a simple hood, the simplest equipment for hiding one’s identity and a favorite among players. Thus, his presence raised no eyebrows. Amidst the crowded area, teeming with strangers and many extraterrestrial players, no one paid any particular attention to the comings and goings of others.

Li Yao indifferently watched the city, still ablaze, and muttered to himself, “It’s been half an hour; they should be coming back now.”

Sure enough, Gargoyles appeared in Li Yao’s view.

On a hilltop, the Gargoyles landed, and Lord Blackheart coldly shouted, “You sent a hundred men. Why have only a few returned? What exactly happened?”

The leader looked at the Gryphon Lord, who was still drinking, but did not speak.

Lord Blackheart loudly said, “Speak up! There’s nothing at Blackheart Castle that must be kept secret.”

Li Yao, who had been paying attention, thought to himself, “This Lord Blackheart is indeed cunning. Even if he didn’t mention it, others would have understood what had happened.”

But this act gained the sympathy of the Gryphon Lord, a clever move since the event was organized by the Gryphon Lord. To fight now would be disrespectful to him.

The leader, astute in what to reveal, then loudly said, “Blackheart Castle has been attacked; now it lies in ruins amid flames, including your lordship’s manor.”

Lord Blackheart revealed a fierce smile, “Continue, it’s just a minor city. We can rebuild. Tell me about our military losses, the specifics.”

“Yes, the enemy used explosives to destroy the manor and then somehow ambushed our legions inside the city. Each legion suffered more than half casualties, especially the Legion of Death Knights which lost over seventy percent…”

Suddenly…

Initially smiling and pretending indifference, Lord Blackheart abruptly stood, crushing his wineglass in hand. His eyes turned blood red and the chair he’d been sitting on shattered into splinters. Unable to maintain his composure any longer, he grabbed the officer by the collar and bellowed, “What did you say, say it again?”

“My lord, our guard legion suffered over half losses, and the Legion of Death Knights has over seventy percent casualties…”

“That’s impossible! How can there be such devastating losses in such a short time? How many forces did the enemy deploy?” Lord Blackheart was genuinely flabbergasted.

In his view, any enemy should have been manageable by his reserve forces, especially with their underground ace up the sleeve, which could annihilate any invading legion.

Yet, the reality was the opposite. He also realized the enemy knew his city like the back of their hand–they had initially destroyed the passages to the underground world, cutting off Blackheart Castle’s reinforcements.

“I don’t know. We’re seeing about a hundred thousand of the lower-tier Mechanical Legion on the surface and a massive number of war machines.”

With a gasp…

Black Heart Lord almost vomited blood as he exclaimed, “Are you joking? My elite legion was actually defeated by a low-tier steel legion? If you spout nonsense again, I’ll kill you.”

Hearing this, the Gryphon Lord couldn’t keep his composure any longer, his face dripping with sweat.

“My lord, the enemy deployed over a hundred thousand fighter jets. They continuously dropped high-explosive bombs from high altitude. To prevent us from attacking the planes, they stayed out of our line of sight. Today was too dark, and visibility was too low. But to obliterate an entire city and cause such heavy casualties to several legions, there must have been more than a hundred thousand in that fighter jet cluster. This is a judgment made by the other generals together.”

The general handed over a piece of lamb parchment. Black Heart Lord looked at the parchment and asked, “What about your scouts then, more than half of them lost; did they even see their fighter jets?”

“When we arrived, they had already withdrawn, only to encounter an interception by a fighter jet…”

Before he could finish, Black Heart Lord, unable to restrain himself anymore, kicked him flying, “Damn it, I feed you lot of waste; a hundred to one, and still suffering over half casualties?”

“Lord, if you look at this last footage, you’ll understand.” The scout general dared not retaliate.

Meanwhile, the players also ceased their battles. Black Heart Lord hesitated but eventually played the footage in front of all the players.

It was only after Li Yao retreated to the airspace above the city that they thought to use the magic stone for recording. Everyone saw a helicopter deftly juggling dozens of gargoyles in a spectacular display, and they also witnessed the extremely tragic battles and scenes below the city.

Especially the part where people furiously shouted at Gryphon Castle; the Gryphon Lord was utterly dumbfounded, and he stood up unconsciously. The players were thrilled by the battle; it was too epic. All who saw it longed to be part of it, and many recorded and posted the video to forums.

“Low-tier Mechanical Legion, what do you say, can it be him? I feel like it is,” Meng Ke said as she watched the footage.

“So terrifying a person, is there a player now who could do that? Doesn’t look like it, and even the voice is off,” Niu Shanpao muttered.

Lan Yan thought for a moment before saying, “If it really is him, then it’s truly defying the heavens.”

“Yes, if it’s really him, then perhaps this is just the beginning. Judging from the situation, this matter won’t end well,” Meng Ke looked towards the two leaders.

Black Heart Lord continued to sneer coldly, “Very well, really good. Finally, you want to tear off the mask and reveal your true face, huh?”

Gryphon Lord shouted, “I swear, this has absolutely nothing to do with me or Gryphon Castle. You’d better calm down.”

“Calm down, you want me to calm down? Fine, I will turn your Gryphon Castle into a sea of fire, slaughtering your legion, and then you can calm down.” Black Heart Lord drew his weapon, ready to fight, and his followers also tightened their grips on their weapons.

The Gryphon King suddenly stood between them, saying, “It’s better to speak clearly. I usually do not meddle in your affairs, but the event today, after all, was hosted by me.”

“Gryphon King, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face. Think about it, over a hundred thousand fighter jets; if not supplied by Gryphon Castle, how could the city’s planes come and bomb and then leave leisurely? I ask again, which lord would sacrifice such excellent pilots just to frame Gryphon Castle? Don’t tell me everyone can’t see that if slightly nurtured, they would become generals stronger than us in the future. To sacrifice such people just for framing him, is he worth it…”

Black Heart Lord looked towards Gryphon Lord…
