Chapter 278: with translation of chapter title

Main Text Chapter 278 Direct Declaration of War!

Translation: "Main Text Chapter 278 Direct Declaration of War!" But we need to keep natural English.

Carrying a mysterious sword hilt, Xiao Feng left Cheng Zhu Fu.

"Head to Stormwind City."

He walked into the teleportation array and selected the target location.

Translation: "\"Head to Storm City. \"" Keep quotes. So: "\"Head to Storm City. \""

Invincible Under Heaven's stronghold is within Stormwind City's territory; according to the coordinates sent by Li Li, it lies over 200 kilometers west of Stormwind City, between the main city and Fury City.

Translation: "He entered the Teleportation Array and selected the target location."

We need to keep numbers exactly: over 200 kilometers. We'll translate it as over 200 kilometers. Keep "over 200 kilometers" meaning over 200 km. We'll keep over 200 kilometers. Good.

Translation: "Under Heaven's headquarters lay within Storm City's jurisdiction; according to the coordinates Li Li sent, it was located over 200 kilometers west of Storm City, between the main city and Wind Fury City."

After arriving in Stormwind City, Xiao Feng opened the teleportation location list and indeed saw the option "Invincible Under Heaven Guild Stronghold".

"Teleport to Invincible Under Heaven Guild Stronghold." He attempted to teleport.

Translation: "Upon arriving at Storm City, Xiao Feng opened the teleportation destination list and indeed saw the option \"World Guild Headquarters\"."

But he was intercepted.

Translation: "\"Teleport to World Guild Headquarters. \" He attempted to teleport."

【You have been blacklisted and cannot go to that location!】

Translation: "But he was intercepted."

"Alright."

Translation: "【You have been blacklisted and cannot proceed to that location!】"

It was also within expectations.

Translation: "\"Alright. \""

Since he couldn't teleport, Xiao Feng summoned his Thunder God mount, took off from the spot, and raced westward.

Translation: "That was also within expectations."

At 200 kilometers, with the Thunder God's speed and full acceleration, it would take less than half an hour.

Translation: "Unable to teleport, Xiao Feng summoned the Thunder God Mount, took off from the spot, and sped westward."

Perhaps he could finish this before the national war begins!

Translation: "200 kilometers, at Thunder God's speed with full acceleration, would take less than half an hour."

The Thunder God soared high, its speed like flowing light, with faint electricity flickering across its body.

Translation: "Perhaps we could finish this before the National War begins!"

Xiao Feng pushed the speed to the max, while opening the guild interface to check the stronghold's related information.

Translation: "Thunder God spread its wings and soared, its speed like flowing light, with faint arcs of electricity visible on its surface."

From his own guild interface, he found what he wanted to know.

Translation: "Xiao Feng pushed the speed to the max, simultaneously opened the guild interface, and checked the headquarters' related information."

【When the stronghold is completely destroyed, its level automatically drops by one, and it will automatically be rebuilt after 24 hours (game time). Reconstruction requires deducting 1,000,000 gold coins; if gold is insufficient, it cannot be rebuilt and will remain as ruins until enough gold is available.】

Translation: "From his own guild interface, he found what he wanted to know."

【If the stronghold's level is less than or equal to 1 and it is completely destroyed, the stronghold disappears and the land is reclaimed by the main city. To rebuild it again, one must bring a 'Stronghold Construction Order' to the main city to apply.】

Translation: "【When the headquarters is completely destroyed, its level automatically drops by one, and it automatically rebuilds after 24 hours (game time). Reconstruction requires deducting 1,000,000 gold coins; if gold is insufficient, reconstruction cannot occur, and it remains in ruins until enough gold is available.】"

【Stronghold structures have self-protection; they cannot be destroyed by hostile forces or monsters. To damage another guild's stronghold, a declaration of war is required.】

【After a declaration of war, for 24 hours, players from both guilds can attack each other without accruing kill points, while death penalties remain unchanged.】

Translation: "【When the headquarters level is less than or equal to level 1, if it is completely destroyed, the headquarters disappears and the land is reclaimed by the main city. To rebuild, one must again carry the \"Headquarters Construction Order\" to the main city to apply.】"

Seeing this information, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Translation: "【Headquarters buildings have self-protection; hostile forces and monsters cannot destroy them. To damage another guild's headquarters, a war declaration is required.】"

"So there is also a war declaration feature."

Translation: "【After a war declaration, for 24 hours, players of both guilds may attack each other without accruing kill points; death penalties remain unchanged.】"

He opened the function at the back of the interface, selected 'Declare War', chose 'Invincible Under Heaven' as the target, and then clicked confirm.

Translation: "Seeing this information, Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh."

【Ding~ Your 1st-level guild 'Demolition Squad' has declared war on the 4th-level guild 'Invincible Under Heaven'. During the war, kills do not count toward kill points, lasting 24 hours!】

Translation: "\"Turns out there is a war declaration function. \""

Instantly, Xiao Feng, Li Li, and the other members remaining in the Demolition Squad guild heard the news.

Translation: "He opened the function at the back of the interface, selected \"War Declaration\", set the target as \"Under Heaven\", then clicked confirm."

At this moment, the Demolition Squad guild had only seven members total.

Translation: "【Ding~ Your 1st-level guild \"Demolition Team\" has declared war on the 4th-level guild \"Under Heaven\". During the war, enemy kills do not count toward kill points; duration 24 hours!】"

Besides their squad, there was only that

Translation: "Instantly, Xiao Feng, Li Li, and the other members of the Demolition Team guild who remained heard the news."

Besides their squad, there was only that

Translation: "At this moment, the Demolition Team guild had only seven members total."

a passerby named "No Longer a Sycophant"

Translation: "Besides their squad, there was only that"

【64】

"What the hell, what's going on?" The passerby "No Longer a Sycophant" shouted strangely in the guild channel.

Translation: "A passerby nicknamed \"Never Again a Sycophant\"."

【68】

Xiao Feng said in the guild channel: "Sycophant brother, please keep yourself safe, or you can quit the guild. The following matters have nothing to do with you."

Translation: "\"What the hell, what's going on? \" The \"Never Again a Sycophant\" let out a strange shout in the guild channel."

"Uh... I won't say anything else, seven people taking on 700,000, guild leader awesome!!!"

Translation: "Li Li and the others already knew Xiao Feng's plan, so they didn't say anything."

The sycophant shouted loudly.

Translation: "Xiao Feng said in the guild channel: \"Sycophant brother, look after your own safety, or you can quit the guild. What comes next has nothing to do with you. \""

Li Li said gloomily: "It's not 7 vs 700,000, it's 1 vs 700,000; we few are nothing."

Translation: "\"Uh... I won't say anything else, seven people taking on 700,000, guild leader, you're awesome!!! \"" Need to keep exclamation marks. We'll translate: "\"Uh... I won't say anything else, seven people taking on 700,000, guild leader, you're awesome!!! \"" Keep the exclamation marks.

"Uh, that makes sense... then... guild leader super super super awesome!!!"

Translation: "The sycophant shouted loudly."

The sycophant corrected himself, his tone becoming even more high-pitched.

Translation: "Li Li said faintly: \"It's not seven versus 700,000; it's one versus 700,000; we few are nothing. \""

The wind whistled in the air as Xiao Feng drew nearer to Invincible Under Heaven's stronghold.

Translation: "\"Uh, that makes sense... then... guild leader, you're super super super awesome!!! \"" Keep exclamation.

At this time, Invincible Under Heaven had a total of 680,000 online members, all of whom received the war declaration notice.

Translation: "The sycophant corrected himself, his tone growing even more shrill."

"What's the situation? What is the Demolition Squad?"

Translation: "Wind howled in the air as Xiao Feng drew ever closer to Under Heaven's headquarters."

"Declaring war at this critical moment, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Translation: "At this moment, the World Guild had a total of 680,000 online members, all of whom received the war declaration alert."

"What is the Demolition Squad? I've never heard of it; are you looking to die?"

Translation: "\"What's going on? What is the Demolition Team? \""

"Who knows where the Demolition Squad is? I'll bring a brother from my hall to wipe them out!"

Translation: "\"Declaring war at this critical juncture—are you out of your mind? \""

In the Invincible Under Heaven guild channel, the information refresh speed is so fast that it's impossible to keep up.

Translation: "\"What's the Demolition Team? Never heard of it—are you seeking death? \""

The upper limit for guilds with a stronghold is 1,000,000 members; Invincible Under Heaven's total membership is over 700,000 but under 800,000, and with the national war imminent, most members are online.

Translation: "\"Who knows where the Demolition Team is? I'll bring a brother from my hall over to wipe them out! \""

Normally, such a large guild would be divided into hundreds of small channels, and few people would speak directly in the main channel.

Translation: "In the Under Heaven guild channel, the information refreshed so fast it couldn't be read."

But this message is so strange that many people can't help but jump in to ask.

Translation: "Guilds with a headquarters have a member limit of 1,000,000; Under Heaven's total membership is over 700,000 but under 800,000, and with the National War imminent, most members are online."

At this moment, Invincible Under Heaven, who was preparing to march to the Western Continent, frowned upon receiving the message: "Demolition Squad, isn't that Xiao Feng's guild? He's declaring war now—doesn't he care about his image?"

Translation: "Normally, such a large guild is divided into hundreds of small channels, and few people speak directly in the main channel."

Both sides have grudges; mutual war declarations are nothing unusual.

Translation: "But this message was too strange, and still many people couldn't help but jump in to ask."

But at this critical juncture, it is indeed somewhat surprising.

Translation: "At this moment, Invincible Under Heaven, who was preparing to march to Xi Dalu, frowned upon receiving the message: \"Demolition Team—isn't that Xiao Feng's guild? He's declaring war now; doesn't he care about his image? \""

"Guild leader, what should we do?"

Translation: "Given their grudges, mutual war declarations were nothing unusual."

The guild senior council, deputy guild leader Invinc

Translation: "But at this critical juncture, it was indeed somewhat surprising."

【112】

Translation: "\"Guild leader, what should we do? \""

In the guild's senior management group, Vice President Tianxia Haojie asked.

Translation: "In the guild executive group, Vice Guild Leader Tianxia haojie asked."

【116】

Translation: "Invincible Under Heaven said: \"That guy Xiao Feng's destructive power is too strong; we must defend, or our headquarters will fall. Haojie, you lead 300,000 brothers on the expedition; according to the original plan, attack Hundred Flowers City. I, along with Yijian, Zhanwang, and Ashuai, will bring the others back to defend the headquarters. \""

"Do we really need three or four hundred thousand just to deal with him?" Tianxia Haojie felt it was a bit of an overkill.

Translation: "\"Do we really need three or four hundred thousand to deal with just one person? \" Tianxia haojie felt it was a bit of an overreaction."

【120】

Translation: "Invincible Under Heaven however said: \"His talent has been announced; you should also know how formidable he is. In this battle, we must give our all. If necessary, you lead your 30"

"Even ten thousand people need to come back to support!"

【122】

"Got it, I understand!" Tianxia Haojie acknowledged the order.

Translation: "\"Okay, I understand! \" Tianxia haojie received the order."

【126】

Translation: "\"Guild leader, no need to worry; although Xiao Feng is formidable, we also have legion skills. With legion skills of hundreds of thousands, unleashed one after another, even if he were a god, he would fall here! \" A senior called Tianxia duzun said confidently."

Tianxia Zhanwang gave a cold snort: "Wushuang brother still doesn't know what's happening; once we take care of Xiao Feng in the game, we'll go offline to deal with him! This kid, I won't rest until I eliminate him!"

Translation: "Tianxia zhanwang snorted coldly: \"Wushuangge still doesn't know what's going on; after we deal with Xiao Feng in the game, we'll go offline to deal with him! This brat, I won't rest until he's dead! \""

"Alright, Xian Shang, say less of this kind of talk. If there's something, say it downstairs. Everyone return to the base, prepare for battle." Invincible Under Heaven called a stop to the chat, and a group of people simultaneously returned to their base.

For each level the guild's base rises, its side length expands by one kilometer.

A level 4 base is a huge 4×4 square area, comparable in size to the urban district of a modern small city.

Such an area might not realistically accommodate hundreds of thousands of residents, but as a game base it's sufficient for hundreds of thousands of players to move around.

During the war declaration, all non-World Guild members received a system warning and were automatically teleported away.

So everyone present belonged to the World Guild.

Xiao Feng rode the Wrath Thunder Divine Eagle to the air above the World Guild's base.

Far off, he saw an ancient-looking Western-style stone city built on the land.

On the vast green fields outside the city, no fewer than 200,000 players were scattered.

Inside the city, each district held roughly another 100,000 to 200,000 people.

"Only this many? Weren't there supposed to be 700,000?" Xiao Feng pursed his lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

Ordinary players' attack range is about 30–50 meters; mages after the third transformation can slightly exceed it, and third-transformation archers can reach about 100 meters.

But the Wrath Thunder Divine Eagle flies at 300 meters, which they cannot reach at all.

On the contrary, Xiao Feng himself has many long-range skills, allowing him to easily bully the opposition.

"Xiao Feng! What do you mean by declaring war now?"

Just as he entered the enemy base's jurisdiction, a regional broadcast suddenly sounded.

This is the guild leader's privilege to make a zone-wide announcement within their own base, audible anywhere within a 50‑kilometer radius.

Xiao Feng lacks the ability to make such an announcement, and shouting with his voice could never be heard across such a large area.

So he simply took out the City Lord's Token and used its once‑per‑day War Zone Announcement privilege to respond.

【War Zone Announcement: My patience has its limits; you keep provoking me, so you should have expected this. Effective immediately, the World Guild ceases to exist—as long as I, Xiao Feng, am around, you will never be able to play again!】

【War Zone Announcement……】

【War Zone Announcement……】
