Chapter 1150 - Chapter 1150 Chapter 1150 Before the Storm

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150 Before the Storm Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150 Before the Storm The two Lords were truly bewildered this time, finally coming to the sober realization that they had gone too far.

The Black Heart Lord had achieved his goal, the Gryphon Lord had indeed been weakened, but spoiled to such a tragic extent, the city was occupied, and without even having to think about it, one could know that the troops inside either died in battle or surrendered, the Gryphon Lord’s stronghold was taken.

And he himself had been in a bloody fight with the other side for half of the night, the troops under the Gryphon Lord’s command had dwindled to less than a hundred thousand, and he wasn’t faring much better himself.

In fact, after his territory was attacked–but not occupied–he knew there was a conspiracy at play, yet he could not allow Li Ling of the Gryphon Lord to surpass him, thus sparking a true fight to the death.

The ideal state would have been for them to fight each other nearly to the point of mutual destruction, weakening both sides’ strength, then release his underground army in its entirety, eventually ensuring his strength surpassed that of the Gryphon Lord.

But now, the Gryphon Lord was left with only around a hundred thousand exhausted troops, with each of his legions battered and bruised.

From his point of view, if the enemy could cause such heavy losses to both his forces and the Gryphon Lord’s defenders in a single night, their strength must be formidably extraordinary, the Gryphon Lord was now done for.

This was what he didn’t want to face; because of the merging of the main planes, the two alliances were trying to truly integrate and understand the main plane so they wouldn’t really engage in a life-and-death battle, but newcomers from the main plane could be a different story, and now all the Lords knew that the main plane was cutting into their flesh.

He had thought there would be fewer people here, and that they wouldn’t encounter the opposition’s main force, but it turned out they couldn’t avoid it.

“Black Heart, I think we need to have a serious talk,” said the Gryphon Lord, having finally emerged from the shock of the heavy hit.

“We really do need to talk,” agreed the Black Heart Lord, feeling as dull as if he had swallowed a fly, his hatred for the newcomers not any less intense than that of the Gryphon Lord.

Players were also talking nonstop, wondering if their military achievements were still valid amidst such chaos.

“This really is a startling turn of events, fighting back and forth so fiercely for so long, only for it to turn out like this,” lamented Bull Mountain Cannon.

Meng Ke shook his head slightly, “Not bad, we were commissioned by the Black Heart Lord, and relying on military exploits we managed to gain something after all. With so many people, Black Heart City won’t go back on its promises.”

Lan Yan furrowed her brows, “What do you think, that person suggested that we side with the Black Heart Lord?”

“Yeah, that’s what they said,” confirmed Meng Ke.

Bull Mountain Cannon said, “Could it be that this is all his doing? It’s as if he’s flipped the heavens and the earth. If that’s really the case, then he’s effectively outfoxed us all, that’s just too impressive.”

Meng Ke shook his head, “At first I thought so too, but the problem is, first they destroyed Heart City, and now they’ve taken Griffin City. Although I don’t know the exact number of defenders in these two cities, it’s definitely not less than two hundred thousand, maybe even more. Do you think players at this stage could achieve that?”

The other two exchanged looks, equally in disbelief.

Lan Yan sighed, “You’re right. Looking at the forums, even the most powerful and top echelon players at most can occupy a small village on the war map, or a guild can work together to take over a small town. Taking a large city like Griffin City, with a population in the millions, is just laughable.”

“So there you have it, but it’s also possible that he’s helping a strong NPC with a quest.”

Everyone immediately agreed with this point of view.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the audience, after a night of intense battle, both Lords have suffered heavy losses, and players are even worse off, with many fighting until they hardly have any troops left. However, there’s a new development in the situation, an unidentified force has taken Griffin City.”

Having broadcasted all night, Xiao Ya was not only not tired, but full of spirit, and was thrilled. Her popularity soared, and the number of people watching her livestream was something she could hardly believe.

Although she knew there was a major event happening here, many streamers simply couldn’t make it in time, and even if some smaller streamers did come, they couldn’t compare to Xiao Ya who was there from the start.

After a whole night of livestreaming, she had initially only a few thousand followers, but now she had surpassed ten million, it felt like a dream.

That’s what overnight fame was all about. Although she knew that once this was over, at best she would be a second-tier streamer, it was still a leap forward in her career, which for someone with modest ambitions like her, was already more than enough.

“Because of the messages on the forum, many friends may be new here. Let me briefly explain,” Xiao Ya started to recap the general events, “The current situation is that both Lords realize they’ve been tricked, and for now, have banded together. More importantly, they’ve issued a joint mercenary commission, inviting players to band together to take down Griffin City with even more generous rewards. What you’re seeing now is players desperately accepting the commission.”

“Both Lords’ forces are taking the time to rest, and it looks like player registration won’t be complete until at least noon for all the formal mercenary agreements to be signed. The United Army is estimated to depart after lunch for a joint attack on Griffin City.”

“As far as I know, both Lords arrived here around the same time, and despite their mutual enmity and personal vendettas, they’ve also come to work together. It turns out that only a newer, bigger enemy can suppress the old grudges. I’ve just interviewed soldiers from both cities, and according to them, tonight they suffered their heaviest losses ever.”

Xiao Ya, having received the audience’s transmission, smiled and said, “Friends, now we have footage of Griffin City, let’s all take a look and see which legion has taken over the place.”

Then, after a while, everyone was stunned. Although they couldn’t enter the city, they could still see the walls. Upon inquiry, it turned out that the troops defending the city were actually the original forces from Gryphon Castle, who now appeared to have surrendered.

When the Gryphon Lord learned this news, he was so angry he almost spat blood. If it weren’t for the fact that his troops were insufficient, he would have loved to head out right then and finish off the people inside.

As time passed, the audience grew more eager to see who or what force had dared to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and play out such a grand scenario. They also heard that players seemed to have been involved, but there were no leaks on the forums about participating in this mission.

In Griffin City, Li Yao learned through the livestream about the approximate time of the opposing forces’ attack. Taking the time of their march into account, Li Yao knew he had nearly eight hours to prepare.

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief; eight hours didn’t seem like much, though not ample, but it was enough to give him a chance to fight.

At the same time, the Blade Queen finally completed her enhancement after six hours.

Although he was prepared for it, the appearance of the Blade Queen still took Li Yao by surprise; he was utterly dazzled.

She was really quite stunning now, completely bereft of her former fierce and uncanny aura…
