Chapter 1621: Chapter 1160: Despair
In the meeting room where Li Changhe was, silence reigned.
Li Changhe believed that at this moment, every combat base on both the east and west coast shared this silence.
Faced with a deadlock, humanity had two options: either abandon the defense of the Black Great Wall and launch an attack against the Black Stone Matrix, only to be consumed at sea or devoured by the Sea of Chaos,
or stubbornly defend their position and end up wiped out by the fully activated Black Stone Matrix. Demigods might survive, but once all humans are dead, what waves could a handful of demigods possibly make?
This is indeed a deadlock. Neither attacking nor defending is a viable option.
A few seconds later, after some hesitation, a Black Palace player said to Li Changhe, "Respected General Li Ba, under the current circumstances, I fear we can no longer continue to fight. I suggest we disengage from this world and abandon this task. All present here are high-level human players; if we all perish in this world, it would be a massive loss for both the main world and for Great Qin and Great Tang."
The Black Palace, the Round Table, and those official alliances of the North Covenant.
It was only under the deterrence of Li Changhe that they unified to combat the enemies of humanity.
But faced with such a deadlock, there were ultimately those among them who voiced their opinions.
Abandon the task and flee from this world.
Put simply, to defy Li Changhe meant elimination, but faced with Atlantis, it was the same situation. This is what emboldened them to dare to make ’suggestions.’
Upon hearing this, the divinities among the indigenous population, and other native religious strongholds, their expressions changed.
Perhaps the players had a chance to escape, but this was their homeland, where their kin and brethren, their families, their believers all resided. How could they abandon this place?
"After all, this is a task world. Even if the task fails, at least it won’t lead us to death!" the Black Palace player, sensing several hostile glares and sweating profusely, still spoke up, "You can say I am gutless, but I have to make it clear. Under the current situation, even if we die, it will be in vain. So why should we die for nothing?"
"Idiot, you’re still thinking about escaping now. When the Sea Clan fully inherits Atlantis, you won’t even have a chance to resist. Now is the weakest moment for Atlantis!" a Great Tang player said coldly, "Chaos has more options than us; they can simply withdraw and wait for more of the Chaos Legion. Why else would they organize a strike team to attack? Isn’t it to destroy Atlantis in advance! Even Chaos has such intentions, so why should we humans give up this opportunity? Can humanity really face a Sea Clan Empire that has inherited the mantle of a Champion Civilization? Don’t forget, even Annihilation, with so little inheritance, can suppress us!"
"Instead of that, we should maintain our strength for future prospects. When Atlantis resurfaces, neither Chaos nor Annihilation will let it rise unchecked. War is inevitable. Why should we join the fray?" another North Covenant player said, "The situation is now clear. Even if all of us players charge toward Atlantis, we are unlikely to destroy the black obelisks! They have several demigods and even True Gods. Even General Li Ba would be unable to face so many enemies, right? What do we fight with? And then there’s the Sea of Chaos!"
"If humanity were all like you, cowering at the first sign of hardship, we would’ve long been wiped out by different races! The human war song is a song of courage. If we do not fight with our lives on the line now, do we wait until our own friends and compatriots face the Sea of Chaos and then live with the regrets?" the Great Tang player said with fury turned to laughter.
The faces of the two players twisted, as they finally sighed and said, "Naturally, I understand the pros and cons. I also don’t wish to see our kin face danger, but how do we even fight this..."
"I’ll tell you how we’re going to fight!" The Great Tang player sneered and then knelt on one knee to Li Changhe, "General, our Expeditionary Army is not in this world, but we, the Great Tang players, will not retreat. In this world, there are thirteen Great Tang marquis and sixteen earls. Even if we can’t destroy all the obelisks, we can certainly destroy one of them! At any cost, I am willing to make a military oath! Please give your orders, General!"
"Please give your orders, General!" All the soldiers from Great Tang knelt on one knee together.
The number of players from Great Tang was not large, and they all made vast military contributions early on, becoming the nobles of Great Tang.
Every Great Tang player present, at the very least a count, and each has a crucial role in the various Great Tang Expeditionary Armies.
Upon the command of the Tian Ce General, even if it means facing a True God and the Chaos Sea, they are ready to charge!
"Now I acknowledge you Great Tang players. If you survive, come back for a drink! If you die, you’ll have company on the Nether Road!" the Great Qin players said with a grin.
Then with sober expressions, they all kneeled on one knee towards Huo Qubing: "Please issue the order, General. We, the soldiers of Great Qin, are no weaker than the Great Tang! With over ten thousand armed soldiers in the fleet and sixteen players, we can at least destroy one stone pillar! I am also willing to issue a military order!"
The Great Wall players smiled lightly: "Let’s conservatively estimate two pillars for our Great Wall."
Winter Palace players grinned: "Dwarfish, we will also take down two."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Black Palace Round Table players changed uncertainly, until finally they sighed: "Follow your will. If we refuse, we probably won’t survive to leave this mission anyway."
It was clear they had relented.
Li Changhe, Huo Qubing, and others like Yang Dong remained silent.
They knew what these fellows were planning; they wanted to replicate the previous actions of the Chaos Fleet.
At all costs, they would exchange the black stone pillars.
It was a one-way journey, and even the majority of the players might die in battle or be swallowed by the Chaos Sea before they could get close to the black stone pillars, forgotten by all and forgetting everything.
But this seemed to have become the only viable method. Launch a saturation attack on all the black stone pillars! As long as eight of them are successfully destroyed, the humans of this world will at least have some space to hide.
But the cost is too great, so great it’s difficult to accept.
If all these players die in battle or are forgotten, how will the remaining forces confront the divinities of Atlantis?
How to face the Chaos that is neither friend nor foe?
This... is too difficult... Thinking of one’s own friends and family in the task.
Young lady, box, Brother Dong, Moon God, Chen Guang, Qiu Wentian...
Li Changhe’s heart is troubled, but he still suppresses his agitation and calmly says: "Then, while leaving sufficient fighting strength, let’s form twelve strike teams. During the Chaos operation, we’ll also commence an attack on Atlantis. Don’t be impatient, we have a month’s time. Build enough robot armies, construct enough warships, and be as well-prepared as possible. Only then can we face such an enemy..."
"As for the remaining gods of Atlantis and the Sea Clan after all the stone pillars are destroyed..." a player spoke faintly: "We’ll leave them to you, General."
"Mm..." Li Changhe replied with a voice neither sorrowful nor joyful: "Leave it to me..."
Unknown to all... even the Evil God carrying malice now harbors a trace of despair...
