Chapter 189 -189-Rather Die Than Submit? A Mob of Rabble!
He would not bring ordinary players or ordinary NPCs.
The reason was simple—
Clean and decisive action was the way a real man did things.
Besides, the level of high-end combat power had already changed. With supreme-grade powerhouses presiding over the battlefield, human wave tactics had long since become useless.
In his previous lives, whenever the various World Zones began a World War, there had been an unwritten rule.
Only after the players declared war would the system announcement follow up.
But in this life, Daniel alone suppressed the entire world.
Compared to his previous lives, this was indeed a little boring.
"Declaration of War: World Zone No. 117!"
"First stop, World Zone No. 117!"
All the players in Stellar learned the news immediately.
The players of World Zone No. 117 began leaving comments underneath one after another.
"@Faustus, we are not those spineless cowards from World Zone No. 1213! The warriors of our World Zone No. 117 are invincible in battle!"
"You coward! You are simply a disgrace to our World Zone!"
"That’s right. The reason that cheating dog Faustus can be so arrogant right now is entirely because he has yet to encounter our World Zone No. 117! Once he comes here and gets dealt with, he’ll wake up to reality!"
"..."
It was almost absurd.
If Faustus had not appeared out of nowhere, they probably would have truly regarded themselves as Stellar’s number one World Zone.
The remaining tiny minority were clear-headed, but faced with such one-sided public opinion, all they could do was sigh helplessly.
"Where did you people get that courage?"
"Everyone, how about we make a bet? How long will it take Faustus to break through World Zone No. 117?"
"That’s too vague. Be bolder. I guess around ten hours!"
"..."
At Daniel’s command, the million-strong Holy Angel Legion formed ranks in the World Barrier teleportation area like a forest of steel. Their iron wings blotted out the sky, and sacred light surged like a tide!
This trip was meant to show off his might!
But he insisted on announcing it to everyone in World Zone No. 117.
To destroy a tiny World Zone like yours, I do not even need to lift a finger myself.
The World Barrier portal lit up with a thunderous roar, its radiance shooting straight into the clouds.
[World Announcement: Polaris and World Zone No. 616 have joined forces and officially declared war on [World Zone No. 117]!]
World Zone No. 117, above the World Barrier portal.
Before him, millions of players from World Zone No. 117 had actually gathered, forming a so-called "interception army."
Faustus...
However, an even greater shock followed immediately after.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—!
Ten thousand.
One million!
This scene was like a hammer weighing ten thousand tons smashing brutally into the chests of the players from World Zone No. 117, crushing the confidence they had been so proud of into pieces.
One million legendary-grade soldiers!
Whoosh—!
The legion commander screamed himself hoarse, but he could not make even a single figure stop.
Those who had once shouted "rather die than submit" were now humbly discussing how to negotiate with Faustus and how to secure dignified terms of surrender.
With the experience of several lifetimes, he understood the nature of these people all too well.
He shook his head.
The ones who truly controlled the lifeline of a World Zone were still the NPC factions.
NPCs, on the other hand, were often far more aware of the times than players.
He raised his hand slightly.
"March!"
...
Inside the palace, candlelight flickered.
"Your Majesty, we should surrender."
The emperor’s face was ashen, and his fingers gripping the armrest of the throne had turned white at the knuckles.
The powerhouses of the Temple of the Gods all sighed.
"For the sake of all the citizens of the empire, we humbly request that Your Majesty make a decision as soon as possible."
What a fine excuse—
These powerhouses of the Temple of the Gods, who usually shouted about fighting and killing and claimed to be invincible under the heavens, now looked as though they wished they could tie him to a white flag and roll and crawl all the way to Faustus’s feet.
The emperor looked up to the heavens and let out a long sigh, his voice filled with helplessness.
