Chapter 1167: Chapter 816: War (First Chapter of Massive Update)

"Then... let the war begin!"

Yang Dong’s voice was calm and resolute.

He didn’t care at all that this was the first large-scale direct conflict between the two major human organizations.

The Black Palace players were shocked; they hadn’t ruled out the possibility that the Great Wall Council might react violently. Whether it was a standoff or a threat, they were ready to stall until the end.

If the Chaos Faction could kill Hua Country’s Li Ba, it would be a favorable outcome for them. Then, they would annihilate the Chaos Faction. Nobly claiming revenge for Li Ba. Even if players were dissatisfied afterward, even if it enraged the Great Wall, no one would confront the Black Palace for a human player who had already died.

After all, the Black Palace would have taken vengeance for ’Li Ba’ by then.

Those Black Palace players never expected the Great Wall to attack the ultimate fortress with fewer numbers.

"Start a war? Great Wall’s Yang Dong! Can you take on this responsibility, bear this sin?" a Black Palace player roared. All the Black Palace players rushed to their defensive positions.

"Responsibility? Sin?" Yang Dong’s voice was filled with hatred, "Letting that brat live is the responsibility I should bear, letting you continue to live is my sin!"

As soon as Yang Dong’s voice fell, all the Great Wall players charged toward the fortress without hesitation.

Had they gone mad? Didn’t they know that this battle would lead to human internal attrition? Seeing this scene, the Black Palace players were furious. Quickly activating their defensive state, they began contacting a massive number of ’allies’. The Black Palace had acted overbearingly yet maintained close relationships with official organizations of many countries. Facing off against the Great Wall this time, they called up those so-called ’allies’ without hesitation.

At the same time, pale golden light curtains popped up all over the fortress. These were the final defenses left by the indigenous knights, which had become even more formidable after Black Palace’s modifications. They boasted defenses so strong that even a barrage of missiles couldn’t break through immediately. Even Yang Dong’s missile bombardment from the Great Wall wouldn’t penetrate easily.

"Yang Dong, you will regret your actions! Not only will you fail to save Li Ba, but you will also bring disaster upon all the Great Wall players involved in this task!" The Black Palace minister didn’t command the battle but retreated to a room inside the fortress.

And just as his voice fell, as if responding to him, seven spatial fluctuations appeared around Yang Dong.

Seven strangely shaped spires emerged.

He hadn’t used any missiles—as at their current level, standard missiles were too rigid and hardly broke through the Mysterious Series Defense.

Therefore, when facing players, Yang Dong rarely utilized the war fortress. But now was different.

This was the Meteor Gravity Cannon, jointly produced by the Eternal Throne and the Great Wall, capable of felling even divine creatures with focused fire!

Seven dense and terrifying compressions slammed onto the golden barrier in an instant. Like being directly hit by a meteor, the entire barrier shook and started to crack.

When the last gravity cannon smashed down, everyone could hear a ’crack,’ and the golden barrier was shredded in an instant. Several Black Palace players who were maintaining the golden barrier had their energy drained in a flash.

"Damn it, they’re serious! Reactivate the barrier, get all the allies here!" a Black Palace player bellowed.

However, before he could finish speaking, a Great Wall player had already appeared at the fortress gates. His bare arms brandished Azure Dragon tattoos, which opened their eyes on his muscular veins-popping arms, transforming into two train-sized physical Azure Dragons that collided with the fortress doors.

A single move— and the greatly reinforced and mysteriously protected massive gates were instantly smashed.

Some Black Palace players recognized his identity, Great Wall South Sea Division, Captain of the second team, Blue Dragon Slayer!

"Have you gone mad too?" a familiar Black Palace player shouted.

"Daring to ally with Chaos, you’ve been condemned to death!" The Blue Dragon Slayer radiated heat, unable to move after unleashing that move.

This enraged the Black Palace players. To smash the door with one punch was undeniably a slap in their face! Plus, to produce such power clearly required long charging, indicating that the Great Wall had been prepared for war with the Black Palace from the start!

Just as three Black Palace players rushed out from the fortress, planning to surround and attack the Blue Dragon Slayer in a negative state, they smelled a very faint fragrance of flowers. The scent was so subtle that even body-strong players could barely detect it.

Yet, two of them changed their expressions dramatically, stopping quickly, abandoning their rush at the Blue Dragon Slayer. The third wasn’t as sensitive to the scent and, seeing teammates halt, immediately went on the defense, ready to counterattack.

However, a begonia flower appeared abruptly before the Black Palace player, and as it bloomed and its petals fell, the Black Palace player instinctively raised his shielded left hand only for it to break in the next second, his left eye blinded, and half his face silently sliced off. The Black Palace player swung his heavy blade in agony, barely catching a glimpse of a graceful figure darting through the falling petals. It was an assassin player!

"Begonia flower... Blood Begonia!"

Great Wall Luoyang Division, Captain of the sixth team, Blood Begonia!

At the same time, several Great Wall players invaded the fortress walls.

These were renowned powerhouses of the Great Wall.

They were captains or even senior officials from various divisions of the Great Wall.

They did not hesitate at Yang Dong’s orders to attack, seizing the fortress from all directions in no time!

Yang Dong didn’t need to issue any so-called commands, for they had already made their choice in their hearts, and Yang Dong’s arrival only boosted their confidence!

Human internal conflict breaking out? Ridiculous, you scum allied with Chaos, you can no longer be considered human!

Allying with Chaos to kill Li Ba, to kill the man who saved hundreds of thousands of humans. There was no second option, only to strike through you!

Simultaneously, aside from Great Wall players, a number of unofficial players also joined the offensive.

The fiercest battle of the Hundred Generals Trial Sword unfolded as a result. Above the city walls, within the fortress, beneath the vault of heaven. The two forces fought to a stalemate, and the number of people affected continued to grow.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, a minister from the Black Palace observed the intense fighting scene before him with a faint smile. After issuing several commands, he departed the fortress with a Holder in tow and stealthily made his way towards Godfall Canyon.

Despite great sacrifices, he finally achieved his goal. He had successfully tied down Great Wall, for once the battle commenced, there was no possibility for reconciliation between the two sides. Given the Black Palace’s tyranny, even if it meant abandoning all semblance of justice, they would lock horns with Great Wall to the bitter end. That was sufficient.

He also knew that after this battle, his identity as a Chaos Believer would inevitably be exposed.

And once he returned to the main world, he would certainly be dealt with by the Black Palace.

But he would not be returning to the main world because here, he would ascend to become God’s Chosen!

This was the reward bestowed upon him by the Blood River.

From being an ordinary member of the Black Palace to becoming the head of a division, he had even crossed swords with Chen Tianjiao before he became a Demigod. It was that very confrontation that made him wholly side with Chaos.

As for the Holder at his side, he was a powerful being corrupted by him. It was a pity that time was too short; otherwise, he could have taken a few more with him. However, so long as Li Ba was dead, it would all be worthwhile.

In any case, humanity was destined for utter defeat this time. Let them slowly deplete themselves...

At this moment, as he and the Holder walked through the mountain forest, they suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Above the battlefield where Great Wall and Black Palace Holders clashed, two moons, one red and one blue, underwent a strange transformation.

At the same time, not far away, a figure clad in black heavy armor, seated upon a silver-white, three-headed flying dragon, lightly chuckled and spoke, "It really is true that the early bird does not catch the worm as aptly as the timely one, Black Palace Minister."

"A summon with Divinity?" The Black Palace minister said with a cold voice as he looked at the Dragon Knight, "Then, you must be from the Awei Protection Association... Seahorse President? You plan to meddle? Everyone knows your association is insane, but I didn’t expect you to be this foolish. You actually dare to interfere with the Black Palace’s business! Who gave you the courage?"

He hadn’t expected any backup players to have entered Godfall Canyon, especially not from the most unwanted group by players, the Awei Protection Association.

The members of this association, particularly the high-ranking ones, were all quirky and often engaged in some inexplicable actions.

For instance, asserting their overwhelming presence, trying to make players of the Different Race genuflect in worship.

Or attempting to transform non-human players into beautiful girls.

Or trying to woo Abnormalities with sweet talk, in hopes of sparking a forbidden romance...

Such bizarre actions.

These made almost all players of Different Races deeply hostile and disdainful towards them.

To put it nicely, they were considered to have "middle school syndrome," but, bluntly put, they were a group of strong but insane individuals.

And this Seahorse President was one of the high-ranking officials in the association, the craziest of the insane!

Unfortunately, this fellow was extremely powerful, possessing the ability to summon divine creatures, with a vast variety of summoning options.

Even Holders were unwilling to confront him.

"Foolish," the Seahorse President sneered from mid-air, "As a cp (couple-shipper), I quite enjoy shipping General Li Ba with Holders. Whoever dares to break up my cp will undoubtedly die."

It seemed he was indeed blocking the Black Palace Minister for this reason.

"Damn it, you really are insane," the Black Palace Minister frowned deeply and turned to another direction, "And you, sir? Do you also wish to meddle?"

"Heh... rest assured, I’m not as crazy as him..." A handsome young man stepped out from the forest.

Different hues of moonlight converged upon him, gradually forming a colossal and peculiar set of Moonlight Armor, reminiscent of a primal Demon God...

As he drew closer, his aura grew ever stronger, his calm voice filled with loathing.

"I am here purely... to exterminate all Chaos Believers..."

The Black Palace Minister recognized that man.

He was the most persistent, the most fanatical avenger, the one who had eliminated the most Believers after the task of the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty!

And now, this avenger had found him...

Moon Throne·Moon God!

(I really didn’t expect to be criticized for being untrustworthy for taking sick leave. What kind of capitalists are these? Fine, I’ll keep updating even if it kills me, then die after the update!)
