Chapter 152: Chapter152-Exchanging for Two Scrolls, the Demon Race Invasion Begins

At this moment, all players quickly rushed back toward the vicinity of the main cities.

None of them wanted to return from grinding monsters only to discover that the main city had already been occupied by the demon race, forcing them to become slaves under demon rule.

Moreover, the human main cities were currently holding celebration events.

If the demon race invaded and occupied them, the celebration events would naturally come to an end as well.

That would not be a good thing at all.

Even though many players were currently doing Class Advancement Quests and various Hidden Quests, they all stopped what they were doing and hurried back.

If the main cities were gone, then even if they completed their current quests, there would be no one left to turn them in to.

The most urgent matter right now was to resolve the Demon Race Calamity first.

This was a zone-wide dungeon. If they did not clear it, they would never be able to move past it!

Besides, after John’s multiple rounds of selection and elimination, the current players’ overall standard had improved significantly.

In terms of strength, it was still uncertain whether the human race or the demon race was stronger.

...

Players from all major zones were now rushing back at full speed.

The guilds in each zone also quickly assigned tasks to players in every region.

Their main mission was to defend the main cities and assist the NPCs in resisting the Demon Race Calamity.

After all, this Demon Race Calamity was not aimed solely at players.

This time, they could also rely on the strength of NPCs to resist the invasion.

[Boll] (Zone 3, Death Guild): "I wonder what the average level of the monsters in this Demon Race Calamity will be. If they’re too strong, we might not be able to beat them."

[Sein] (Zone 3, Four Gods Guild): "Sigh, I really envy the players in Zone 5 and Zone 4. They joined guilds on John’s continent early on."

[Murphy] (Zone 5, Overlord Guild): "That’s true. With Boss John around, even if none of us participate, Boss John alone can probably wipe everything out."

[Dylan] (Zone 1, Glory Guild): "Stop chatting for now. Hurry up and deal with the demon race in each region first!"

...

At the same time, the NPCs of the various main cities also picked up their weapons one after another and climbed onto the city walls.

Suppressing the demon race had been their duty for generations, so every time the demon race rioted, they could sense it immediately.

At this moment, all human main cities had gone on alert.

They knew just how terrifying the demon race was.

Every city had entered the highest level of emergency readiness.

The guard army, vanguard army, main city army...

All NPC legions armed themselves one after another, formed battle formations, and protected the various main cities.

Even the common people inside the main cities began to move, producing all kinds of free resistance potions, food, and other supplies.

At this moment, the entire human race had begun preparing for the demon race army that was about to arrive at the main cities.

...

Inside Valhalla.

With a grave expression, the king said, "Prince, the demon race has invaded. Both you and I must contribute our strength and defend the human race against the demon race."

John waved his hand.

"I understand. There is no need for Your Majesty to urge me."

The king nodded.

"Good. I must first go and take command in the royal capital. Prince, please make sure to come out as soon as possible and resist the demon race."

The next moment, his figure twisted and vanished from where he stood.

As a level 500 powerhouse, the king’s strength naturally needed no explanation.

With the king in the royal capital, it was unlikely that the city would fall.

As for the other main cities, John, the prince, would have to personally step in and put out fires wherever needed.

However, John was not in a hurry.

He knew that the current members of the Overlord Guild were not weak.

This was a good opportunity to test the strength of the Overlord Guild players.

John had spent so long nurturing them not so he could constantly block blows for them and clean up their messes.

Only by properly testing their strength could he know whether all the resources he had fed them during this period had gone to waste.

At this moment, what he cared about was another matter.

"The points I earned from the All-race Battlefield haven’t been exchanged yet. Now I can take a look and see what I can trade them for."

[All-race Battlefield Points Exchange]

[Zone War Scroll]

[Price]: 3,000 points

[Effect]: After gaining actual control over any kingdom, you may use this scroll to designate any unoccupied zone kingdom within this server and directly declare war on it, ignoring the original Fame and quest restrictions.

...

[Waypoint Scroll]

[Price]: 2,000 points

[Effect]: You may leave a Mind brand at a chosen location. No matter where you are, as long as you are not in combat, you may use this scroll to instantly teleport back to the marked point.

The scroll is a one-time consumable item. A maximum of three markers may exist at the same time.

...

[Legion Revival Token]

[Price]: 1,900 points

[Effect]: While holding this token, after dying on the battlefield, you may immediately revive on the spot in full condition while retaining all equipment and buff effects.

At the moment the token takes effect, it will generate a shockwave that knocks back enemies within ten meters.

Note: This token is a one-time-use item.

[...]

...

John looked at the dazzling array of exchange items.

His attention first fell on the Zone War Scroll. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I have to gain actual control over a kingdom first before I can declare war on other zones?

"That requirement is a little strict.

"Unless I currently have an item that can establish a kingdom, I basically have no chance to use it.

"However, I do have the identity of First Prince right now.

"If I get the chance to obtain the status of regent later on, perhaps I’ll be able to use it.

"In any case, this thing is indeed very necessary. It can be used specifically to start zone wars in the future."

After thinking for a moment, John spent 3,000 exchange points and redeemed the item.

[Consumed 3,000 points. You have exchanged for the Zone War Scroll!]

A scroll appeared in John’s hand.

Its surface was engraved with a blade and shield, and it was covered in a layer of golden luster.

Just from its appearance alone, one could tell that it was no ordinary item.

He placed it into his backpack.

Then, John’s gaze fell upon the Waypoint Scroll.

"Fixed-point teleportation. Each use requires a 24-hour interval, but it can leave countless markers at the same time."

He quickly calculated the practical value of this item in his mind.

There was no need to mention its life-saving ability.

If he encountered an opponent he could not defeat, he could escape with a single thought.

However, speaking of which, John would hardly encounter any truly powerful enemies anyway.

"So the actual value of this thing is that it allows me to quickly teleport to certain special locations.

"I won’t need to travel manually anymore. Each time, I can save a huge amount of time."

A sharp gleam flashed through John’s eyes.

At present, whether in strength or level, he was number one in the entire zone.

The only thing he lacked was sufficient ultra-long-distance teleportation ability.

Whenever he needed to go somewhere extremely far from a main city, such as The Far West, he had to spend a long time traveling.

And this scroll just happened to make up for that missing piece.

"The only slight drawback is that it can only be used outside of combat. In other words, I need to mark the location in advance. But that isn’t a problem for me."

At this thought, John no longer hesitated and decisively exchanged for it.

[Consumed 2,000 points. You have exchanged for the Waypoint Scroll!]

The next moment, a silver-gray scroll appeared in John’s hand.

It was cool to the touch, and faint spatial power flowed within it.
