Chapter 394 - 212: Ten Million Troops (Part 2)
"I’ll go support...."
Diane had just opened her mouth when an old, slightly wrinkled hand appeared on her shoulder.
Metheus said with a smile, "Don’t be in a rush; let’s wait to see the results over there first. Since you’ve said to listen to the end, then listen to the end. If there’s a real danger, we’ll take you along."
Diane pressed her lips together, nodded, "I understand."
Metheus turned to the scholars and asked calmly, "Where were we?"
The scholar paused, speaking cautiously, "Secondary Sixteen-sided City: Chaoyang City."
Metheus said with a smile, "It’s quite close to Dongwu City. Once that old guy steps down, how about having one of my sons manage it? After all, the relationship between Baiyi and the Di Feng Family is quite good, and if Diane’s uncle goes there, it can be considered mutual assistance."
The other legislators exchanged glances, and among them, the Luo Wa Clan no longer showed displeasure on their face, but instead asked with a smile, "We’re discussing reforms, and the City Lord hasn’t reached his time for stepping down yet."
"Right, right, I was confused," Metheus turned to the scholar, smiling, "So what is the characteristic of this city? According to Dongwu City’s current reforms, how can it be changed? Please share your thoughts...."
"Understood," the scholar lowered his head and replied softly.
Seemingly within just a few words, those who wielded over 80% of the Whole Federation’s military and wealth simply divided another piece of land.
-----------------
"Time’s up, close the gates!"
"Close the gates!"
"Wucheng Army, assemble!"
The Level 50 Beastman Badu hurried up the city wall, looking seriously into the distance as soldiers shouted through communicators.
The expanded 100,000-strong Law Enforcement Team fully deployed to strictly maintain the city’s order.
At this moment, Dongwu City fell into instant silence, smiles fading from the faces of the people, who ran worriedly to their assigned houses.
They had no power, and could only pray inside that this city, which had brought them hope, could survive this crisis, and that they themselves might live through it to witness the truly beautiful world that existed only in distant legends.
The Light Whisper Legion, already assembled, was eager to act at the East City Gate. Battle Merits would be quite beneficial; when their Battle Merits reached a certain level, they could exchange for higher-level transformations personally operated by Baiyi.
This point made even officers with Gold-level X modifications continue to grow stronger.
This raised the Legion’s War Intent tremendously.
40,000 Wucheng Army, 30,000 Light Whisper Army, and now with the commotion, the masses of players gathered, the east was truly a sea of people.
Eric and Heidinger separated from the council, standing on the Inner City gate, watching outside with serious expressions, but they saw nothing.
"Where’s Baiyi?"
Eric looked at the inexplicable Dwarf beside him and asked calmly.
"Don’t worry, Principal. In Miss Luoning’s dream, he will appear at the critical moment, and now is the time to test Dongwu City’s combat prowess."
Sabo said with some flattery, "Though your vitality decline has paused, it might continue after another battle. So please guard the Light Whisper Base, where Miss Aileen and Miss Luoning are. If someone wants to act, it would be now."
Eric paused and nodded, his figure slowly disappearing.
Heidinger sighed at the younger generation’s ability to stir things up and curiously asked, "What about my arrangements?"
Sabo maintained his posture, "Legislator, do as you please. However, the West City Gate may need your support, since most of our pressure comes from the East City Gate, a large portion of our forces will also be assembled there."
Heidinger nodded and looked at the sky, sighing, "Then let them see your fighting power."
With that, a spatial distortion rippled, leaving Sabo alone atop the wall.
The Inner City’s residents gazed outward, but under the watchful patrol of 3,000 Apocalypse Warriors, they dared not make a commotion. The tense atmosphere spread.
The flattery on Sabo’s face vanished, he took a deep breath, murmuring softly, "It’s about to start.... Let me see how much your power is worth investing in...."
-----------------
"Damn, damn, damn... Something big is happening, no wonder you urged us to return, no wonder Baiyi chooses this moment for reform, really damn..."
Demacia, the Guard Brigade, and Xiahou Fuxing hid on a high mountain, witnessing the scene before them, the word ’damn’ repeatedly escaped their lips.
Nothing else, the scene was too grand.
Clearly many kilometers away, standing atop the highest surrounding mountain range, and using nothing to aid themselves.
But wherever their eyes landed, there were monsters, in the sky, on the ground, filling the entire view.
Like locusts, a black mass.
The hillside instantly flattened under this force, and each canyon showed a wave of black.
It was like a black tide, stretching hundreds of kilometers, forming a tsunami surrounding Dongwu City.
"Damn! There must be tens of millions here, right? How many players and soldiers does Dongwu City have now?" Xiahou Fuxing swallowed, "With this scene, any reform or change would seem pale and weak, right?"
Boom boom boom... Buzz buzz buzz....
The sounds finally reached them, making them hear nothing but buzzing, the ground shook, the staggering numbers and quality instilled heart-deep fear.
"600,000 players, unknown on how many can log in, 100,000 in the Law Enforcement Team, 180,000 troops, the Law Enforcement Team holds little combat power, likely won’t appear until the city faces direct threat." Guard Brigade’s tone was heavy.
"Crap, if Law Enforcement doesn’t count, even counting now...." Demacia glanced at their rapidly increasing audience count, "Counting 500,000 players, there’s still a nearly twentyfold gap.... Even a Soldier Immortal like Xiang Yu would struggle here, right?"
"In the Battle of Deer Slaughter, Xiang Yu defeated 400,000 with 8,000, that was a fiftyfold difference, don’t panic, hold steady, we can win!" Xiahou Fuxing swallowed, speaking with some uncertainty.
"8,000 versus 400,000 was only 390,000 in difference, whereas 700,000 versus 10 million is over 9 million in difference, how can you count like that, unless..."

Demacia paused, then exclaimed with excitement, "Damn! It’s happening!"

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Last time the mission had no difficulty marked, now it’s directly a large Hell-level mission, and there’s reward support, ah this, ah this, ah this..."
Demacia couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, clearly aware of how difficult a Hell-level mission was, with the example of Black Dragon Lixting right before him.
Back then, Demacia had to spend heavily for victory, and even then suffered deaths.
The live chat was flooded with exclamations of ’damn’, as these three were popular streamers in the game, drawing significant attention.
Especially with such an incredibly shocking scene, the number of viewers skyrocketed.
