given a few more months, this place might not be a camp anymore, but truly transformed into a city!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-red sun continually sank westward, bathing the desert in a layer of intoxicating orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples of sand piled like frozen waves, stretching endlessly to the distant horizon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve stood on the earthen wall of the camp, gazing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze gradually focused on Sandstorm City, hidden in the darkness to the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s about to begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if responding to Eve’s soliloquy, in no time, the originally bustling camp suddenly began to stir…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Eve noticed Li Mu hurrying to the base of the wall, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spotted Eve, his eyes brightened slightly, and he quickly approached to salute, saying excitedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Ling, we received intel, the Half-Beasts will launch an attack tomorrow morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, the exact number of troops they will deploy is still unknown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being connected to the Underworld is Sandstorm City’s advantage, but also its weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the black market merchants of the Underworld, there was nothing that couldn’t be bought with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players could connect with black market merchants to obtain Holder’s idol, and likewise, they could acquire intel from within Sandstorm City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the Half-Beasts at least checking the identities of entrants, bold players might have already impersonated black market merchants and infiltrated Sandstorm City to stir up trouble…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Li Mu’s words, Eve gently nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then prepare for battle, consider the worst-case scenario, they might go all out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the divine power appears, it’s up to you to see how much of a blow you can deal to the Half-Beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu nodded heavily, looking invigorated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news that the Half-Beasts would proactively attack soon spread throughout the entire camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally relaxed and lively camp soon shifted into a wartime state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bonfire parties ended, transactions concluded, and AFKing ceased…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players appeared excited, their eyes filled with anticipation of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan for this action was already no secret across the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Half-Beasts’ decision to make a move meant they had taken the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true showdown might finally arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle could very well directly impact the entire war’s progression!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper levels of various guilds began to take action, summoning guild members to actively prepare for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, online players called upon friends, contacting offline buddies, reminding them to get ready to log on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire player camp operated like a massive war machine, slowly turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war mobilization lasted nearly three hours before it gradually ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once noisy camp gradually fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the faintly shining lights and a few figures still flickered in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most players logged off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to rest and prepare for tomorrow’s battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One night quickly passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, the rising sun on the desert looked like a huge, scorching red agate, glowing magnificently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light shone on the tawny earthen walls, and the whistling morning wind made the flags rustle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players donned their gear and emerged from their tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They greeted each other while yawning lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, occasional complaints could be heard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seriously… I feel like if this keeps happening, I won’t be able to tell the difference between reality and game time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can confirm now that this game’s plot wasn’t pre-designed! Otherwise, the big battle times definitely wouldn’t be this weird…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it’s the planners’ fault…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, just think of it as accelerated thinking! You’ll get used to it, a few seconds in-game and you won’t feel tired. Plus, we can catch up on sleep in real life, can’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the already morning Segis World, it was still 3 a.m. in Blue Star Time, many players set an alarm to crawl out of bed to participate first-hand in the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their physical bodies on Blue Star could still rest in sleep mode once they entered the game, waking up in the middle of the night made anyone drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, many were too excited to sleep, resulting in subpar mental states upon logging in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they quickly perked up after moving around a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only their consciousness descended to the Segis World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their consciousness separated from their bodies, any negative physical states naturally stopped affecting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for some of the persistent “Elf Kingdom” players,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as long as the body-monitoring system of the immersion pod didn’t alarm, they could stay in-game “till the end of time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, more and more players logged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people online in the battle channel gradually approached one hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike previous divided battles, this was truly a ten thousand strong army fighting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much they complained, players rubbed their palms together in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quiet camp gradually became lively again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the trebuchets and ballistae checked? And the Magic Stone Explosives!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, all set up and ready!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s the divine shield barrier? Can it run properly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyone not on the battle channel yet? Hurry up! The public screen’s been urging!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coming! Coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyone over there still not online? Call them to log in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, won’t calling in the middle of the night get us scolded? It’s only three-thirty…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t call those who weren’t told in advance! Wake up those who promised to log in but didn’t show! They probably turned off the alarm and went back to sleep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So relatable…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythmic BGM resounded through the battle channel again, stimulating everyone’s nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players took their positions, and the earthen wall soon filled with fully armed elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were fully ready, the sky was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandstorm City, concealed in the darkness due to mountain cover and its own color, re-emerged in the sunlight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first ray of light pierced the darkness and shone on the hundred-meter spire, all players heard a loud horn,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooooo—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horn was deep, ancient, and profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this horn, players who participated in the Black Dragon Castle battle lit up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Half-Beasts’ horn! It’s their attack horn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re… really about to attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the veterans’ explanations, new players perked up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stretching their necks, using Magic, or widening their eyes, straining to look towards Sandstorm City…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a distance of twenty kilometers, with various terrains blocking the way, they couldn’t see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just vaguely noticed a sandstorm perhaps churning at the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Eve, standing on the tower of the earthen wall, saw Sandstorm City’s movements clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beasts made their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 200,000-strong Half-Beast Army stationed in four directions outside the city departed from their camps, forming four enormous formations, beginning to make their way towards the player camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sandstorm City’s gates slowly opened, fully armed Half-orc Warriors continuously streamed out from the city to join the massive army outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, dust billowed, swirling yellow sand everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless flags were raised by the Half-Beasts, marking the various tribes of the Death Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, enormous Bimong Giant Beasts appeared among the Half-Beast formations, roaring and bellowing, beating their hair-covered chests as they advanced accompanied by the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking out, the scene was covered in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the deafening rumble began to echo from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the sound of the marching footsteps of the Half-Beast Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war had begun…\u003C\u002Fp>",1258,"2026-06-03T12:38:38.194Z","2026-06-03T12:38:46.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","00b21283a7aeb53821360f81b514165008e75d4d29b28ac0f7a81f8c5cad7c07","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-642","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-640",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
