Chapter 1275 - 1242: You Already Know About the Spirit Stone?
Rafam Continent, Hua Country No.1 Border City 17:30
"Starting tomorrow, this game won’t have the He Clan Battle Zone anymore, right?" On the towering city wall of the Border City, Handsome-To-The-Bone suddenly sighed.
Right now the members of the Creation Mercenary Corps were lined up along the wall in the night, enjoying the slightly cool breeze, looking very relaxed.
At this moment this overcrowded Border City seemed unusually quiet.
Everyone was silently standing in their own positions, as if they were waiting for something.
If people hadn’t gotten the news beforehand, no one would have imagined that a massive City Seizing War was about to break out here.
And the ones trying to seize the city were from the United States War Zone, whose strength on Rafam Continent was on par with the Hua Country!
Precisely because of this, everyone was greatly puzzled.
They couldn’t understand why Lin Yi refused support from the major Guilds and instead chose this current defensive force composed of Ordinary players.
The numbers might both be a hundred thousand, but the difference in actual strength was like heaven and earth.
Defending a city is not the same as seizing one.
They were about to face the tough opponent that is the United States.
Using a hundred thousand ragtag troops against a hundred thousand elites, could they really hold the city?
They might think that, but no one truly doubted him.
When it came to Lin Yi.
It seemed he’d always been the one creating all kinds of miracles and the impossible.
Even if only Lin Yi alone came to defend the city today, everyone might be shocked, but they probably wouldn’t even question whether he could hold it.
Which was kind of funny.
Although Handsome-To-The-Bone and the others had been left in No.1 Border City to defend, their hearts had long since flown to the He Clan Battle Zone.
Compared to the defensive battle Hua Country was about to face.
The situation over at the He Clan side was even more important.
Because if the He Clan failed to take back at least one Border City from Hua Country players tonight, then starting tomorrow, the He Clan Battle Zone would officially be merged into the Hua Country War Zone.
Regarding this outcome, it wasn’t just the He Clan players.
Even those West Continent Battle Zones that favored the United States were feeling anxious and worried about it.
But those Battle Zones didn’t have the United States’ kind of boldness, tossing out ten million Gold Coins just like that.
So even if they wanted to help, they could only go on the game forum and denounce the greed and domineering of the Hua Country War Zone.
They condemned Feng Hua’s overbearing attitude, saying Feng Hua shouldn’t bully others just because he’s strong.
When this turned into a wave of public opinion targeting Feng Hua, Lin Yi merely smiled when he learned of it.
Because when everyone else still treated this purely as a game, he was the only one who truly cared about the safety of the Hundred Races in this World.
Even though Lin Yi felt that playing the Savior was ridiculous.
As long as it was within the scope of what he could do, Lin Yi didn’t mind being the Savior once.
This time targeting the He Clan looked like he was splitting up and destroying that Battle Zone.
But in reality only Lin Yi knew that everything he was doing was saving them.
Or rather, helping the races there to continue on.
When the He Clan Battle Zone is officially merged tomorrow, Lin Yi would immediately migrate those races out of the He Clan Battle Zone.
To prevent them, in the Demon Race’s upcoming assault, from becoming history just like the Demon-controlling Race.
As for where those He Clan players would go then, that wasn’t something Lin Yi could afford to care about.
But over on the He Clan Battle Zone’s side, they clearly hadn’t realized this.
To defend their Battle Zone, tonight they weren’t launching a City Seizing War for just one Border City, but had applied to attack three Border Cities at the same time.
This time the He Clan Battle Zone had basically emptied the nest, gathering their zone’s strongest combat power, determined to fight Hua Country players to the death.
Yet judging by what all sides had shown so far, the general outlook on the He Clan’s City Seizing War was clearly not optimistic.
Because the Hua Country War Zone now was no longer something they could contend with.
Even so, this matter concerned the very survival of the He Clan Battle Zone, so it still attracted plenty of attention.
Meanwhile on the Hua Country War Zone’s side, Feng Hua’s duel with Satan J had likewise become the focus of everyone’s attention.
Hua Country No.1 Border City sat between two mountain peaks, with a stretch of lush forest outside.
Handsome-To-The-Bone suddenly asked curiously:
"Boss Feng, how are we going to fight later? Got any plan?"
Lin Yi, who had been lost in thought, was suddenly interrupted by Handsome-To-The-Bone.
He turned his head to glance at Handsome-To-The-Bone, then said:
"Business as usual."
"Uh~"
Just as Handsome-To-The-Bone froze in surprise, Lin Yi added:
"This time the defense will be commanded by Silent."
As Lin Yi finished speaking, a conspicuous message suddenly popped up in the defensive channel of No.1 Border City:
System (No.1 Border City): "[Overall Defense Commander] has been changed from player ’Feng Hua’ to player ’Silent’."
The message then spammed the screen repeatedly, causing an uproar among the players inside the Border City:
"Feng Hua God actually handed over the overall command, damn! What’s going on?"
"And it’s Silent from the Creation Mercenary Corps!"
"I heard Silent’s a badass too! All the Mercenary Corps’ instances are supposedly commanded by her."
"And most importantly, she’s a pretty chick, okay."
"But it doesn’t matter who gets overall command, the main force defending the city isn’t us anyway. As long as Boss Feng is here it’s fine."
"Exactly, exactly. We’re all just here to make up the numbers, the City Seizing War later still depends on Feng Hua God."
...
While the players in the Border City were all buzzing about it, Lin Yi turned to the bewildered Silent and smiled:
"It’s fine."
"Just do it like you always do."
"Leave the rest to me."
With Lin Yi’s reassurance, Silent’s slightly panicked heart gradually calmed down.
Facing Lin Yi’s trust, Silent nodded, accepting the role.
She quickly slipped into character and started issuing orders in the defensive channel.
And with Feng Hua himself sitting right beside her, even this ragtag bunch of players surprisingly cooperated quite well with Silent’s commands.
At this point there were less than twenty minutes left until the start of the City Seizing War Satan J had scheduled.
Normally.
The attacking side should have already assembled outside the city, waiting for the time to start the siege.
But this time.
There wasn’t the slightest movement outside the Border City.
Godsend couldn’t help doubting:
"These Yankees aren’t going to stand us up, are they?"
Red Eyes, idly playing with her dagger on the side, chimed in:
"Could it be they’re too scared of losing, so they don’t dare to show up?"
As soon as she said that, everyone around them burst into laughter.
Someone said:
"If I found out my opponent was Feng Hua God, I’d be too scared to show up too, hahahaha..."
While everyone was joking around in the downtime, Lin Yi walked over to Zhang Xinying, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding him:
"You already know about the Spirit Stone?"
