Chapter 1233 - 1200: One Man Takes the City
"Feng Hua wants to take the city alone."
"What?!"
After hearing this news, Satan J’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow:
"What is he trying to do?!"
Take the city!!!
’There are still two weeks left before the Demon King launches a full-scale invasion of this World.’
Satan J pondered deeply:
’The He Clan will inevitably become the first Racial War Zone to be captured by the Demon Race.’
’If Feng Hua takes the three Border Cities of the He Clan War Zone now, then the defenders of these three cities will become Hua Country players when the time comes.’
Compared to the He Clan, Satan J was actually more apprehensive about the current Hua Country.
Adding in the huge variable that is Feng Hua, Satan J suddenly realized that he absolutely could not allow things to continue developing at this pace.
With that thought, a burst of Return to City light suddenly flared around his body.
...
...
Meanwhile, in the No. [1] Border City of the He Clan War Zone.
When everyone heard Lin Yi say "I agree," the shock and disbelief on their faces instantly replaced every other expression.
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but have the same thought flash through their minds:
’Does he even know what he’s saying?’
One man against a hundred thousand players, and he still wants to take the city!!
"Is he crazy, or are we?"
When the group of He Clan bigshots gathered around realized this had already become an indisputable fact...
Not only did they not feel happy, on the contrary, a faint sense of unease rose in their hearts.
The source of their unease was: ’He agreed far too readily.’
It felt like he was afraid they’d go back on their word or something?
They all looked at Lin Yi in disbelief:
"Why would he agree? That’s impossible."
"Did I mishear?"
"Or has he really gone insane!"
Some He Clan players also inexplicably got excited:
"How dare he agree? Is he looking down on these hundred thousand elites of our He Clan?!"
"Too arrogant!"
"Everyone, use your full strength and let him understand that underestimating our Yamato Race comes with a price."
...
Facing the group of riled-up He Clan players, Lin Yi turned to the equally stunned Hojo Takeshi, and with a slight smile said:
"In 10 minutes, I’ll come take the city."
"That’s your prep time."
"Oh, right!"
Lin Yi looked at the flushed faces of the He Clan players around him, pointed in a circle and said:
"I also hope you’ll keep your word."
Then he raised three fingers, a hint of provocation in his tone:
"Three cities!"
Someone was immediately enraged by Lin Yi’s look of absolute certainty:
"Don’t forget, if you lose, you have to come to our He Clan War Zone."
"Right!"
"One versus a hundred thousand—Feng Hua, I want to see how you plan to win."
"Arrogant Hua Country bastard! You’ll pay for this."
Just then, Hojo Takeshi finally snapped out of his shock, and called out to Lin Yi, who was about to leave:
"I have one more condition!"
"For this city-taking battle, neither side is allowed to use any Magic Scrolls or items."
As soon as he said that, Lin Yi immediately paused midair, a chill flashing in his eyes.
Was this pushing his luck?
Tch~
Lin Yi turned his head toward Hojo Takeshi with open disdain:
"Anything else?"
"Why not say it all at once?"
Facing Lin Yi’s mockery, Hojo Takeshi seemed to realize he was in the wrong, his voice slightly lacking in confidence as he said:
"What, Feng Hua-kun doesn’t dare?"
Hojo Takeshi’s words suddenly woke the surrounding He Clan players up.
A bunch of people immediately chimed in:
"Yeah!"
"Absolutely no Magic Scrolls."
"If you use Magic Scrolls you can’t show your true strength—what’s wrong with that condition?"
In truth, Hojo Takeshi’s heart was in chaos at this moment.
Because he had never expected Lin Yi would actually agree to such a harsh condition.
One man taking a city?
Just hearing it sounded like a joke, even if he was the number one in the Hua Country War Zone.
Who dares say they’re so strong they can ignore a hundred thousand players?
According to Hojo Takeshi’s original plan...
He thought Lin Yi would back down in the face of difficulties, and then he could smoothly bring out the second plan he’d already prepared, minimizing the losses the He Clan was about to suffer.
He might even seize some Active leverage and bargain with Lin Yi.
But he never expected Lin Yi to agree.
The moment he heard Lin Yi accept, and thinking of the unhidden confidence on Lin Yi’s face then, Hojo Takeshi finally realized that the man before him was the Hua Country number one who never played by the rules: Feng Hua!
Those things he’d done in the past that everyone found unbelievable, and the series of achievements he’d racked up— even now, they were still incredible.
Since he agreed, that meant the other side must be extremely sure of himself.
Once Hojo Takeshi snapped back, the first thing he thought of was that Lin Yi might use a massive amount of Magic, even Forbidden Curse Scrolls.
You know, some Magic Scrolls could be so powerful they could literally wipe out an entire city!
Hojo Takeshi didn’t know whether Lin Yi had this kind of trump card, so he tacked on this extra condition at this moment.
Hojo Takeshi himself knew full well this was extremely unfair to Lin Yi.
But in the face of their honor and the glory of their entire War Zone, Hojo Takeshi could only play the villain.
Clearly, the He Clan bigshots around them also realized this, which was why they were all egging it on, afraid Lin Yi might refuse.
What they didn’t expect was that Lin Yi simply replied:
"Fine!"
"Since I’m going to win, I’ll make sure you lose so badly you’re convinced."
Then all they could do was watch as Lin Yi slowly flew toward the Hua Country Main City army outside the walls.
Once Lin Yi left, the He Clan players on the Border City walls looked at each other in dismay.
Hojo Takeshi’s face was even more embarrassed as he stood there, gritting his teeth.
Someone said:
"Why did he agree? I suspect that crafty Hua Country bastard must be up to something."
Someone else started losing confidence:
"Are we really going to bet three cities against him?"
"If he actually succeeds in taking the city, are we really going to hand over three cities?"
At this moment, Hojo Takeshi suddenly turned, facing the bigshots of the major top-tier clubs (Guilds) of the He Clan War Zone around him, his face twisted in ferocity as he shouted:
"Baka!!!"
At those words, the surroundings instantly fell silent; everyone stared at Hojo Takeshi in fear.
Hojo Takeshi forcibly suppressed his rage and, as if talking to himself, shouted:
"What are you afraid of!!!"
Hojo Takeshi looked at the densely packed players (and all manner of rare Combat Pets) filling almost every corner of the Border City, and said passionately:
"We have a hundred thousand top-tier players. No matter how strong Feng Hua is, he’s just one man."
"Are the hundred thousand of my Yamato Race really not as good as that one Feng Hua?"
"Huh?!"
Hojo Takeshi glared at those men and women who’d just said they couldn’t beat Feng Hua, fury blazing:
"As long as we stop him from taking the city..."
"Tomorrow, he’ll be the number one in our He Clan War Zone."
"With Feng Hua here, who would dare look down on my Yamato Race?!"
Thinking of the misfortune the He Clan had suffered lately, Hojo Takeshi spoke triumphantly, his voice ringing out:
"When we’ve recovered our strength, that will be the time for those who caused Sapporo to fall to pay the price."
"All the honor we lost will be taken back by us, little by little."
As Hojo Takeshi spoke, his body language was just as animated.
His speech had the He Clan players’ faces flushing, their blood boiling.
Finally, Hojo Takeshi turned to look at the army of a hundred thousand Hua Country Main City players outside the city, a trace of resolve in his tone as he said:
"If you don’t want our He Clan to become the laughingstock of the entire World, then tonight... it all depends on you."
