Chapter 1514: Chapter 1064: Assemble Combat Power (3K)

In a closely guarded room in the Border City.

Chen Yu opened her eyes, perhaps because she had returned to the Spiritual Core, her condition had recovered well. The intelligence obtained from the Crying Hero had invigorated her.

She had finally found a feasible method!

Thus, she immediately contacted the Great Wall and various allies to prepare the next phase of the plan.

Although a considerable portion of human elites had been exiled, the presence of human players and the Extraordinary Alliance remained formidable in this world. Once the forces were assembled, they might be able to withstand the frenzied onslaught of the Different Race.

After contacting several high-ranking officials and sharing intelligence, Chen Yu immediately devised three plans.

The first plan was to leave part of the forces in each giant city to guard against any potential armies of the Different Race. After all, the Teleportation Gate had previously released a substantial number of armies, which were a looming threat to every giant city. After allocating some forces for defense, the rest were sent to Border City to assist in defense. The mobilization included players, Transcendents, and the human military. It was not necessary to divide many forces, just two to three percent from every giant city would be enough to reach Border City within a month.

The second plan was to gather Great Wall players and numerous Transcendents to establish the Black Great Wall on top of the steel high walls of Border City. As long as there were enough Transcendents and players defending, not even a Demigod would be able to breach the Black Great Wall and high walls easily.

The third plan was to establish a Spirit Domain Spreader, which essentially would allow various Transcendents and players to collectively assist a core individual, reinforcing their mental strength. Once accumulated to a certain amount, even a Demigod would be affected. Years ago, when capturing the Dream Cruise, Minister Yanyun and her colleagues used this tactic to counter the fleeing Demigod, the Heart Stealer.

However, these plans encountered some obstacles.

Some giant cities, after learning that the Great Wall could summon Hellsprings Reverse, held emergency discussions overnight. After weighing the pros and cons, they immediately started dispatching troops, but they mostly had only escort ships for transport. The majority of the giant city reinforcements faced severe risks traversing enemy-occupied areas and might not arrive in full.

Meanwhile, some giant cities did not provide support.

The reason was that they faced threats from the Different Race’s armies. This situation had both truths and deceptions; some giant cities genuinely lacked the capacity, while others intended to preserve their forces, not wishing to disperse their military power to deal with worse possibilities later.

As for the players, Great Wall, Nine Provinces Small Sword, Awei Protection Association, Nightmare and others naturally rushed to Border City. The sixth Devil King of the Winter Palace even personally led the team to aid.

But the Black Palace and the End of the God War fleet still stationed in America were ambiguous in their stance. They neither refused nor agreed.

After all... none of their members were among the exiled human players.

Due to Li Ba’s presence, players from the Black Palace and Red Fist did not approach Kunlun Giant City nor visit the Heavenly Court Ruins.

Thus, they avoided the fate of exile.

On the contrary, many official forces from the Great Wall and the Winter Palace were exiled, including the seventh Devil King who had suppressed them.

This was a pleasure for the Black Palace and Red Fist!

Of course, they dared not show their joy, instead adopting a worried demeanor.

The exile of Li Ba and others was catastrophic for humans.

It meant that humans lost the strongest beings below Demigods and a batch of high-level elite players.

If among the Different Race players, a powerful individual with extraordinary talent initiated the Demigod State during this period and became the strongest below Demigods,

then human players would lose their usual advantage in major tasks.

But in the eyes of the Black Palace and Red Fist, although humans lost the strongest below Demigods, it was a loss for Hua Country and Great Wall.

Without Li Ba and Yang Dong and others, they would quickly fill the gap.

Especially Tyrant Washington and Red Fist Arthur. Both had initiated the Mythical State and might soon activate the Demigod State.

Once there was no suppression from Li Ba, one of them could become the strongest below Demigods and obtain many benefits and interests.

In these circumstances, why would they offer support?

After several meetings, Tyrant Washington of the Black Palace still ordered some Black Palace players to move toward Border City for joint defense.

After all... if the summoning by the Great Wall failed, they could claim they had contributed. The Great Wall couldn’t blame them. No one could blame them.

But if the summoning succeeded and there was significant loss due to a lack of support from Black Palace... with Li Ba’s character, Black Palace would be in big trouble.

Li Ba was not the type to easily forgive and forget.

Ultimately, it was the fear of Li Ba’s retaliation. But if it failed... there would be nothing more to say. They could just pop open the champagne.

Meanwhile, the End of the God War fleet of the Red Fist, citing combat against Faith’s Great Impurity Plague Fleet as a reason, stated they might not be able to support Border City.

They indeed faced the Plague Fleet, reportedly in fierce combat. The Great Wall naturally wouldn’t insist.

However, the Heavenly Court Remnant Clan brought good news to the Great Wall. A part of the Jianmu Ancestral Spirit’s body was transported to Border City, along with support from over ten thousand Heavenly Court Remnant Clan elites and more than a hundred thousand defense forces from Kunlun Giant City. They brought considerable supplies, arriving at Border City under the protection of the last mainship of Hellsprings Reverse.

These assembled forces temporarily made Border City one of the most powerful giant cities.

But if the recall began, the Different Races would swarm in. If several Demigods or a large fleet attacked, the Border Giant City would still be in great danger.

Meanwhile, atop the wilderness of America, the End of the God War fleet encountered an attack from the Plague fleet. The clash was intense and ended in victory for the End of the God War fleet.

Red Fist had learned the tactics of Li Changhe and the Supreme King, and personally led a defection. He actually managed to capture a flagship.

But facing the resistance of several Plague Demons, they paid a heavy price. The Plague Demons unleashed deadly poison.

Apart from Red Fist, thirteen human players, over five hundred fleet Extraordinaries, and several thousand defecting soldiers were all infected by the Plague Demons.

Watching their teammates die from the disease left the players and Red Fist’s side deeply grieved.

Red Fist then secluded himself in the captain’s room.

He was not as grief-stricken as the outside world might imagine, instead he scrutinized a dull dagger in his hand. The dagger looked ordinary with even some rust on the blade.

But contained within it was a venom capable of killing nearly any human.

It was a Divine Artifact given to the Plague Demons by the Great Impurity: Death’s Fang.

And now, this Divine Artifact had come into Red Fist’s hands through the Plague Demon.

Red Fist gazed at the dagger in silence.

When he had led the defection, he encountered a Plague Demon.

The Plague Demon did not attack, but instead offered Red Fist the dull dagger, saying, "This is a gift my master offers you, Arthur."

"Do you think I would betray humanity?" Red Fist, Arthur, scoffed in response and launched an attack. As someone whose Physique and agility had reached their limits, all enemies seemed to be moving ten times slower in front of him. He easily repelled the Plague Demon.

"No, I do not know my master’s thoughts. I am merely providing you some assistance on behalf of my master," the Plague Demon replied while defending, "My master said, we have the same enemy!"

"What are you trying to say?" Red Fist was startled.

Of course, he wanted to do something. Li Ba had been exiled with difficulty, and yet the Great Wall was trying to recall him. This was something he could not tolerate.

But he dared not attack the Great Wall directly, there were still many Great Wall Experts in this task. And a direct conflict with the official forces would have endless repercussions! He didn’t want to directly antagonize a powerful official force like the Bloodriders.

According to the Book of Heaven, he was to kill a certain girl. This too would clear all risks for him. But he still hesitated...

Unexpectedly, it was revealed by the Plague Demon.

"And this, is the help my master provides you, and you... will witness the power of this mighty Death’s Fang."

After saying this, the Plague Demon fled the battlefield and handed over the warship.

Afterward, those human players and soldiers who defected with Red Fist began dying in succession. They turned into corpses... no, walking corpses!

No potion could eradicate this dreadful toxin.

Those poisoned would slowly die, their vitality gradually devoured. All their cells and tissues irreversibly destroyed.

Players with ultimate physique resisted a bit longer, but all medicines could only maintain them in a painful process of healing and destruction. Eventually, they could not endure and ended their lives themselves, allowing themselves to die in human form.

This caused Red Fist to break out in a cold sweat; his trump card was cell-level regeneration.

Yet, the Plague Demon’s venom continuously killed all cells and tissues in the body. Meaning, if he were hit, even with cell regeneration, he would die... just endure a bit longer perhaps.

And this... was the capability of the Death’s Fang!

Red Fist held the dagger, silent for a long while.

Finally, he left the room and issued orders to his subordinates.

"Let’s go, to the Border Giant City. We too shall contribute to humanity!"

"Yes!" The officers responded joyfully, "For humanity!"

"You really are admirable, Arthur, setting aside personal grievances to bring back Li Ba. If the recall is successful, I would like to see how Li Ba can still face you," A player praised him laughingly. After all, due to the Bloodriders, there was a deep grudge between Li Ba and Red Fist.

At this moment, Red Fist set aside personal grievances for the greater good of humanity, much nobler than Li Ba who had killed the Bloodriders out of personal vendetta.

This earned him praise from the players.

And Red Fist solemnly said, "I’ll just do my best."
