I Am A Legendary BOSS-Chapter 248 - The Players’ War, Expanding Their Forces into the Ocean
Chapter 248 The Players’ War, Expanding Their Forces into the Ocean
It had been six months since Version 2.0 had been launched.
The number of Chinese players in the southeastern region had exceeded 600,000. Not only new players continued to appear, but also in the first batch of players 200,000 became Intermediate professionals.
It was an extremely realistic game world.
So when players possessed strength and power, someone was bound to have the ambition to create a nation or a neutral Camp.
However, it was a pity that the places that were suitable to build a city or town were either occupied by NPCs or were zones whose resources were scarce.
There were no places that had abundant resources and had not been developed yet, or at least there weren’t any in the southeastern region.
That meant only one thing.
If the players wanted to have a territory that they could develop in the long-term, they had to steal a territory that belonged to an NPC or other races.
Therefore, some large guilds in the City of Dawn gradually shifted their attention towards the Heavy Spear tribe and even the Flaming Tribe that was located further.
After all, there was no other choice.
As the City of Dawn continued to expand, it had amassed a whopping ten districts, each having a population of nearly 100,000. The number of NPCs alone had increased to almost one million, and professionals took up half of the population.
Among them, there were more than 20 Advanced professionals and also a few hidden Bosses too.
Not mentioning the players’ affinity for the City of Dawn, but by just looking at the sheer power of the City of Dawn, the players would not dare betray it.
SW
Hence, they decided to plot against the Heavy Spear tribe instead. The players wanted to defeat the Heavy Spear tribe so that they could obtain their mineral resources!
These little ideas that the players came up with certainly didn’t go unnoticed by William, who constantly browsed the forum.
However, the prince didn’t care about what the players thought or did. He treated it as entertainment when those large guilds tried to test the limits of the Heavy Spear tribe.
To William, these little sheep seemed to be getting overconfident, trying to bite off more than they could.
Those large guilds wanted to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the Heavy Spear tribe, which consisted of more than 100,000 people. Actually, this idea was good and logical!
One could even say that they could totally achieve this feat!
But, everyone had their own selfish motives.
The Heavy Spear tribe had two pale Orcs of Legendary bloodline.
Altaic and Arles were already Advanced professionals at the start of the Darkness Invasion. As two Advanced Legendary Bosses, they definitely possessed enough power to battle the players again and again!
The players couldn’t even get past their defense.
But if the players weren’t afraid of death, or did not fear that their equipment and experience would be downgraded, merely two close-combat Legendary Bosses couldn’t hold them back.
If they rushed forward together and attacked, they could kill the Heavy Spear tribe and wipe them out. They would gain control over their mines and resources.
However, the key thing was… how would they decide on who would play which role?
Humans were selfish.
This applied to both professional legions and large guilds.
Every single player or small group of players had different motives.
If Arles and Altaic picked a specific guild’s army and killed it, that guild definitely wouldn’t be happy, and it might even pull out of this battle!
In other words, the players were not able to deal with the two brothers.
Even if they managed to occupy the Heavy Spear tribe’s territory, it would be of no use.
The two Advanced Orcs would certainly want to exact revenge on them. And the players would have to guard their territory all day and all night. They would not get the time to do anything else in the game at all…
Of course, since William could think of this, the players probably knew this too.
Changli Jiuge had been forced to become the players’ representative, and he sought William’s help. They wanted his help in killing Arles and Altaic.
But it was a pity that William rejected that request.
In addition, his affinity with Changli Jiuge decreased by a little, giving Changli Jiuge a shock. He almost cried…
There was a reason why William rejected him. As a beginner’s village, the City of Dawn had to ensure that the missions were diverse in nature. The Orcs and dark creatures couldn’t be killed. If they were, new players in the future would leave the City of Dawn due to the lack of missions and monsters.
It was important to note that as the versions developed, the number of beginner’s villages would gradually increase, and it would become more competitive for the City of Dawn.
After all, several Grand Duchies, as well as small nations that rebuilt themselves after the Darkness Invasion, would also become beginner’s villages.
In order to ensure that players continually joined the City of Dawn, William had to generate sufficient missions in the City of Dawn, and he had to make sure that there was enough land. The city would also have to be powerful enough and have convenient transport routes.
That was why he wouldn’t help the players, but let them try to attack on their own…
Therefore, the players prepared for nearly twenty days and discussed numerous battle strategies.
A war that was waged by the players began.
130,000 Intermediate professionals and 50,000 Beginner-level professionals gathered in the City of Dawn. The 180,000 strong player army consisted of hundreds of guilds that were also participating in this war.
Chu Liuqiu was nominated as the commander-in-chief many times, but when others approached him, he chose to refuse the position…
Therefore, on the day itself!
The army made up of numerous players didn’t act according to any plan, and the players just dashed towards the Heavy Spear tribe in groups…
Consequently, the Flaming Tribe’s elite troop of 12,000 suddenly rushed out from the side and cut off the route of the player army.
Meanwhile, eight Advanced professionals appeared on the battlefield.
They dashed in and out of the groups of players recklessly.
It only took less than three hours before tens of thousands of players returned to the city to resurrect…
Hundreds of thousands of players had been defeated to a point where they lost their armor. They suffered heavy losses.
Even though they also killed a whopping number of 30,000 Orcs, the players didn’t have enough power left to initiate a second attack.
After all, they were players and not a legitimate army…
There weren’t enough benefits to entice the players, and they weren’t in dire circumstances. Also, they weren’t bound by a common hatred for the enemy, which was why the players couldn’t fight a decent war.
Unless the Orcs in front of them were actually players from other nations that were invading the City of Dawn…
Otherwise, just based on the ambitions of the guild leaders to build their own city?
Or the supposed promises, bonuses, or benefits that would only surface in the future?
How could it be!
Players wouldn’t give it their all or fight till their last breath in this sort of war.
After the war ended.
Many players who participated in it started scolding on the forum. “This isn’t even considered as a mission. There were no experience points or gold coins to be gained. I lost 3 pieces of equipment for nothing. I must have been mad to actually participate in this
war.”
“It’s all those large guilds’ fault, period.”
“Look at Chu Liuqiu, he knew that we would definitely lose in this sort of war, which is why he refused to be the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, he would have been blamed by everyone until the next world championship…”
“Everyone stop talking. Since Prince William didn’t want to attack the Heavy Spear Tribe, he must have known that the Flaming Tribe and the Heavy Spear tribe had joined forces.
“Otherwise, based on how petty Prince William is, how is it possible that he could let his enemies stay alive for so long?”
After this epic battle, the players calmed down again. They went about their normal lifestyle, executing missions, and obtaining equipment.
Since there was nothing they could do now, they could only hope to stir up some trouble when Version 3.0 started.
As players, their job was to stir up trouble.
However, after a few days.
A series of changes occurred in the City of Dawn!
First!
The teleportation portal between the City of Dawn and the Emerald Grand Duchy was officially up and working. One had to pay 1 gold coin to access it.
Second!
The Dawn Mercenary Team had officially entered the Emerald Grand Duchy.
Originally, the players had planned to change their Camp once Version 3.0 was launched. However, the City of Dawn was one step ahead, and it directly opened up a route to the Emerald Grand Duchy.
The most important thing was that!
Due to help from the Mercenary Guild, when William’s Dawn Mercenary Team entered the Emerald Grand Duchy, the move also created tens of thousands of missions.
The players were instantly stupefied. This even led them to think that they no longer needed to change their Camp.
It was a pity that the ranks of the players were still too low, and they were unable to take on many missions. This made many players who wanted to enter a new game area very tempted, but unable to do anything.
Third!
The Dawn Naval Fleet was formed. The City of Dawn was going to summon courageous warriors who weren’t afraid of death, and letting them be the vanguard troop to explore the boundless sea!
