Chapter 822: War Begins

~11 min read 2,130 words

After the 'unknown liquid' incident, led by Xiang Yanchen, several leaders began to discuss defensive countermeasures.

Footsteps came, and a man wearing a black windbreaker walked onto the seventh floor. The man seemed to have just woken up, yawning from time to time, and behind him followed a 'husky'?

"Whose side is this?"

"Not ours."

"Don't recognize him."

Several leaders' confidants all denied it.

"Friend, go down and wait first. Once we discuss the defensive countermeasures, we will notify you."

A weak-looking man in a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses blocked Su Xiao. His attitude was still polite.

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao, who was a bit sleepy, was smoking a cigarette. He had taken a nap during his free time; who knew if there would be any chance to rest in the next ten days.

"Friend, I said..."

"Let him in."

Xiang Yanchen's voice came.

"Please."

The man in the suit made a gesture of invitation; Xiang Yanchen was his leader.

Su Xiao walked into the seventh floor. Unlike the previous dead silence, the seventh floor was now very lively. The smell of smoke, cigars, and red wine mixed together.

Qiyuezhe with different expressions were standing or sitting in various places on the seventh floor. Some were silent, some were shouting loudly. The only thing in common was that they all had a faint blood aura; one could tell at a glance that these were desperate people who would fight to the death at any moment.

"Meet again."

The sister-complex Xiang Yanchen greeted Su Xiao, then continued to discuss the defense plan with those leaders.

Su Xiao walked forward, and Xiang Yanchen was a bit puzzled.

"This is a detailed map of the ancient ruins. I arrived relatively early before, and drew it when bored."

Su Xiao handed an unusually precise map to Xiang Yanchen and turned to walk to the side.

Xiang Yanchen glanced at Bubu Wang following Su Xiao and roughly guessed how Su Xiao arrived in advance.

"Big help. It seems you have professional drawing skills."

Xiang Yanchen knew the value of this map.

"With your ability, why don't you discuss with us?"

Xiang Yanchen issued an invitation, and Su Xiao waved his hand.

Su Xiao didn't participate in the discussion of those leaders. He knew his command ability; he had never managed an adventure group, and as for how Qiyuezhe should set up defensive lines, he was completely ignorant.

For fields he didn't understand, Su Xiao never interfered too much or put forward decisive opinions. Compared to Su Xiao, those leaders were experts in this area.

Relying on strong strength to point fingers in fields he didn't understand—in Su Xiao's view, that kind of person was the most annoying. He usually dealt with that kind of person by chopping them first.

Discovering that Su Xiao had no intention of participating in the discussion, Xiang Yanchen nodded secretly. The strength of a solo player was indeed strong, but most solo players were unruly.

However, in this war, there were no unruly solo players. There were a total of four solo players qualified to come to the seventh floor, two men and two women.

Among the four, the two women were clearly familiar with each other. Strangely, the two didn't form an adventure group; they were Ada and the Insect Girl. When the two women saw Su Xiao, they hurriedly turned their heads.

"Why is this monster here?"

Ada secretly glanced at Su Xiao.

"Don't know. How about pretending not to know him?"

The Insect Girl was also very empty. In the survival trial world, Su Xiao left too deep an impression on the two in the insect nest. In their hearts, Su Xiao was an extremely dangerous old schemer + monster.

As for the other two, one was Gray Bear, who had tasted the 'unknown liquid' before. This fellow was smoking a cigar, his face very gloomy.

The last one was Su Xiao. Su Xiao was leaning against a stone pillar, playing with a tablet computer. Listening to the sound from the tablet, it seemed like he was playing a game.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yanchen raised his brows. Xiang Yanchen couldn't imagine that Su Xiao, with that hair-raising aura, would have the hobby of playing games.

About an hour later, several leaders discussed the defensive countermeasures.

The area of the Oterlank ancient ruins was too large. For over seven hundred Qiyuezhe to want to completely guard the Oterlank ancient ruins was simply a pipe dream.

Since they couldn't guard it, several leaders chose not to guard, shrinking the defensive line and concentrating manpower to defend the 'Dusk Palace' and the nearby second area.

There were three stone bridges at the three diagonal corners of the 'Dusk Palace'. These three stone bridges were the best defensive locations, which could be firmly guarded and could also retreat into the Dusk Palace behind.

Of course, the Reincarnation Paradise side wouldn't choose to garrison the three stone bridges at the beginning. After discussion by several leaders, they would first garrison the outer second area. If they couldn't guard the second area, they would retreat to the stone bridges. If the stone bridges were lost, they would continue to retreat.

If the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise wanted to snatch the World Core, they first had to break through the second area, then the three stone bridges. Breaking through the stone bridges wasn't the end; they still had to enter the Dusk Palace, fighting their way up floor by floor until they reached the seventh floor.

The difficulty of this was very high. It had to be said that before the war started, the Apocalypse Paradise side had already fallen into a disadvantage.

If it were changed to the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise being responsible for guarding the 【World Core】, they would never choose this defensive method. This layer-by-layer defensive network looked tight, but it actually had a fatal shortcoming, which was that there was no retreat. If they couldn't defend, they would die. There was no escape route at all. If Xi dared to arrange it this way, over 70% of her subordinates would oppose it.

If the Apocalypse Paradise side could really fight their way to the 7th floor of the Dusk Palace, it meant that the Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise were almost all dead. Before that, the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise absolutely couldn't fight their way up.

Success or death, this was the defensive method of the Qiyuezhe on the Reincarnation Paradise side.

Want to take away the World Core? Then kill them all first. Before that, the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise could only watch from the outside.

After agreeing on the plan, several leaders and everyone on the seventh floor walked out of the Dusk Palace. On the platform outside the palace, hundreds of Qiyuezhe looked at those leaders.

After Xiang Yanchen explained the plan, the Qiyuezhe agreed to the death-guard strategy after only thinking for a moment. As for the retreat, no one mentioned it at all.

If the World Contention War failed, it meant everyone would die. Under this premise, considering the retreat was meaningless. Rather than thinking about the retreat, it was better to think about how to survive in the Qiyuezhe melee.

After the members of the adventure groups received the orders from their respective leaders, they began to spread to the nearby second area, forming defensive lines. As for those solo players, they were dispersed among the members of the adventure groups. Some long-range snipers climbed to the top of the Dusk Palace; that was the commanding height.

Su Xiao stood in front of the stone staircase of the Dusk Palace. He wouldn't participate in the garrison for the time being. He was waiting for someone, someone who would definitely come to find him.

"Bai Ye, although you are not my subordinate, now is not the time to hide things."

Xiang Yanchen sat on the stone staircase on the side, his gaze looking at the Qiyuezhe deploying defenses in the second area. The second area was a natural maze, and deploying defenses wasn't too difficult.

"I don't have time for now. There is a very troublesome enemy I need to solve."

Su Xiao was waiting for Lan Jue. He believed that Lan Jue would definitely come to his door.

"A troublesome enemy? You can tell me his characteristics. I might have clues. I have quite a lot of information about the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise."

Because they were on the same front, plus Su Xiao had taken out the map before, Xiang Yanchen wasn't stingy either.

"If it's characteristics, he is a mechanical summoner..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Xiang Yanchen interrupted: "He uses a whistle to control a metal arrow? Mechanical summons can be detonated?"

"Right, have you seen him?"

"Of course."

Xiang Yanchen pulled open the clothing at his collar. At the position of his collarbone, a scar the size of a coin could be seen: "I was careless before and was almost schemed by that guy. You want to deal with him?"

"Right, we fought once before, but he escaped."

Hearing the keyword 'escaped', Xiang Yanchen's eyes lit up, then asked: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, seven chances out of ten he dies, and three chances out of ten I die."

Su Xiao had already thought of a way to deal with Lan Jue, but the other party's ability was too comprehensive, and there were too many unexpected situations in the battle, so he had a 30% chance of dying in battle.

"Worthy of being the Night of Decapitation. If my subordinates see him, I will notify you through the war channel. Sigh, I don't know if I can survive. My sister is very beautiful."

Xiang Yanchen's words, at first glance, seemed to be praising his sister's beauty, a brother's concern for his sister. However, the fact was not so. Xiang Yanchen was afraid that after he died, his sister would follow another man, which meant he would be greened after death.

"It seems you love your sister very much."

Su Xiao vaguely heard that Xiang Yanchen's words were wrong.

"Of course I love her, in every aspect, every inch is loved."

After saying that, Xiang Yanchen walked into the Dusk Palace.

"This sister-complex."

Su Xiao wasn't stupid; of course, he heard what was going on. The personalities of the Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise were unexpectedly unrestrained.

Twenty-six hours passed quickly. The Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise were ready for battle, and the defensive line was arranged without a leak. However, not a single Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise attacked. They didn't even appear. The second area was dead silent.

About ten minutes later, this dead silence was broken.

Sou~ Sou...

Dense wind-breaking sounds came from above. The Qiyuezhe looked up; it was hundreds of green phosphorus fire incendiary bottles.

"Airstrike!"

The Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise didn't react slowly. Bullets, arrows, Nen balls, magic balls, and even rocket launchers greeted those green phosphorus fire incendiary bottles.

Hong, Hong. Hong...

The explosions connected into a piece. Large areas of green flames fell in front of the second area, and the trees and weathered stones were burned to nothing.

Neat footsteps came, and at least ten thousand orc soldiers walked out from the forest in the third area.

Xi floated above the forest, watching the Qiyuezhe of Reincarnation Paradise from afar.

"Kill."

Xi's slender fingers pointed forward, and over ten thousand orc soldiers marched. The Reincarnation Paradise side had contribution shops and military ranks, and the Apocalypse Paradise side of course had them too. What was terrifying was that the war merits of all Qiyuezhe on the Apocalypse Paradise side were transferred to Xi. Her official rank had reached the point where she could mobilize over ten thousand orc soldiers.

"This woman is unexpectedly troublesome, but... flowers in a greenhouse will wither faster."

A black-haired, red-eyed teenager tore off his shirt, and he was tied with at least a hundred various bombs on his body.

The black-haired, red-eyed teenager suddenly rushed out of the formation of the Reincarnation Paradise side, heading straight toward those ten thousand orc soldiers. No need to think to know that this guy's brain wasn't very normal; a normal person wouldn't rush into ten thousand troops tied with bombs.

Xi saw this scene, and her beautiful eyes frowned.

"These lunatics."

Xi's pupils turned fire-red.

Hong!

The black-haired, red-eyed teenager exploded in advance before rushing to the orcs. Fire light soared into the sky, mud flew, and smoke and dust surged.

A few seconds later, a somewhat staggering figure stood up in the smoke and dust.

"So painful."

The black-haired, red-eyed teenager moved his neck, kaba, and light flashed on his body, and a hundred various bombs appeared again. ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
