Chapter 377: Chapter 279: Joint Crusade (4K) _2
The Lord of Amber City, as a senior official of Tai Xuan Liangyi and a famous powerhouse in Pan Shi City, had the ability to rally the masses, hence his call for assembly was met with numerous responses. If an ordinary player had issued this call, the outcome would have been uncertain.
“There are still some heavy hitters around the Land of Two Realms.”
Mu Yuan felt somewhat relieved.
As a small lord who had just shaken off his greenhand status, he couldn’t bear the weight of these strange Snake-man tribes and powerful figures from other nations lurking nearby.
He, along with Duo Lai and Sophia, hastened towards the assembly point.
As for Dead Bone? General Dead Bone was still in the border region, seemingly assassinating some Snake-men and tracking some unusual footprints.
Yes, it had been there for most of the day without actually fighting and was sneaking around.
This was normal.
If there was a need to fight, it meant that it was already in an unsafe situation—at least, that was the case for Dead Bone.
Other lords who entered the Land of Two Realms were pushed back by the Snake-man horde, but Dead Bone was moving in a certain direction as if there were no snakes around.
Mu Yuan was also heading in a specific direction.
The meeting point was located in the southwestern part of the Land of Two Realms, quite far from him. To avoid the border region and the numerous Snake-man squads, Mu Yuan moved carefully, taking a long route.
Along the way, he noticed some conspicuous marks carved on certain trees.
This was a code, a code pointing towards the assembly point.
Most players, including Mu Yuan, had taken the public course on Tai Xuan’s marking system, so they understood these codes. They were probably used to guide those players who couldn’t receive forum messages.
Although the codes were not highly secretive, at least the Wisdom Monsters couldn’t understand them.
Moving through the dark, immense forest, he stealthily assassinated monster after monster in his way. He put the corpses in Duo Lai’s dimensional pocket, leaving no traces behind.
It was a perfect stealth operation.
No Snake-man squads noticed them anymore.
After more than an hour of detouring, Mu Yuan gradually approached the target spot. At this time, he became more vigilant, using different reconnaissance techniques like the Black Crow and Starry Eyes.
He believed in the one who issued the forum post, but he had to be careful as everything could potentially go wrong.
This was not only for his own safety, but also for Duo Lai, Sophia, and Rakshasa’s.
Previously, Lords like Li Yao and Xiang Leiji had lost their elite soldiers who had been with them for years. Such losses were not only due to insufficient strength but also a lack of precautions. Seeing this, Mu Yuan became more cautious.
Fortunately, no surprises occurred. With the help of the Black Crow’s vision, he quickly noticed the Tai Xuan style camp beneath a large tree in the distance.
Outside the camp stood several lords, including the 7th-level Lord of Amber City.
…
In the temporary territory, many veteran players and old lords gathered.
“Another corps has arrived. It seems like there are quite a lot of players around this Land of Two Realms.”
“It might be because of the eye-catching Upside-down Shadow. It’s a good thing though, as with so many forces gathered, we won’t struggle to claim this Land of Two Realms. Plus, it’s located adjacent to the southwest of our Xuan Country. By exterminating this Snake-man tribe, we are contributing to the stability of our country.”
Lord Xiang Leiji, Ji Zhibiao said.
As a 6th-level Lord, he was quite well-known, and many players came up to chat with him.
Of course, the most reassuring for the players was the initiator of this joint expedition, the 7th-level Lord Amber.
Lord Amber looked quite young, appearing to be in his early twenties.
Naturally, he wasn’t that young. But his ‘Lord Age’ was extremely short, even shorter than most of the lords present.
He was a prodigy from the same era as the Lord of Han Yue City.
Although he seemed a bit overshadowed by the magnificence of the Lord of Han Yue City, there was one area where Lord Amber surpassed him.
— Lord Amber was from a civilian background.
He was of humble origin, growing up in an orphanage. Naturally, Amber’s performance in the Lord Trial of his time wasn’t outstanding, but he steadily climbed to the top.
His journey was legendary.
Some said that if Lord Amber had been born into a higher class, his achievements today would not be far behind the Lord of Han Yue City.
“The Lord of Han Yue City is like the moon in the sky, I certainly cannot compare. My achievements today are all thanks to the nurturing of the alliance… Enough said, another legion has arrived.”
He was young and accomplished, yet not arrogant. However, in the eyes of others, he seemed overly humble.
He personally greeted each arriving legion, registering the gamers who came and persuading those whose strength was evidently insufficient to withdraw.
After all, combined campaigning was not child’s play. Letting gamers or teams with insufficient strength join would lead only to self-inflicted injury.
To the gamers themselves, the risks were too great, they might leave and never return.
And others did not want teammates who were obvious weak points or burdens on the team.
“Another legion has arrived, let me see, oh, it’s the Silver Mercenary Corps!”
“What, it’s actually the Silver Mercenary Corps? And both the leader, ‘Silver Eye’, and deputy leader ‘Silver Left Hand’ are present.”
The members of the Silver Mercenary Corps were all summer ranger players, not lords, but as a top-notch mercenary corps active in the Pan Shi City region, their combined strength was extremely formidable.
When compared as corps, the strength of the Silver Team surpassed that of the great majority of legions led by lords present.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of the Silver Mercenary Corps was encouraging news for the gamers who aimed to eliminate the powerful snake-men enemies. It meant that the joint team became stronger.
“Next, we have Lord Tuna.”
“Lord Tuna? Seems like a member of the White Shark Group, a promising new lord who has made a name for himself in the Trial Golden List.”
Some people exclaimed, but this only caused a few ripples.
Lord Tuna might be outstanding among his peers, with a bright future ahead, but here he was just a very ordinary third-level lord.
‘Ordinary’ was rather a tactful word choice.
Lord Tuna merely met the lowest admission standard for the united campaign troops.
Still, experienced gamers had to admit that the Four-Armed Shark Men accompanying Lord Tuna seemed very formidable. Newbie lords always managed to bring along a few awe-inspiring officers.
At this time, Mu Yuan led a legion of over a hundred people and arrived at the location.
A gamer who was maintaining order approached to inquire.
“We need to register information to avoid lords from countries like Yongxing and Shen Mu mixing in.”
“Understandable,” Mu Yuan replied.
The main thing was to prove that he was a player from Xuan Country.
The best way to prove it was to verify it on a forum. Of course, many people knew about some famous lords, and this process could be skipped.
“Oh, I know this brother, I can vouch for him, he is…”
At this point, the forthcoming Lord Li Yao suddenly stumbled.
Which lord was this brother? He hadn’t asked just now.
Without embarrassing the player who was maintaining order, Mu Yuan quickly verified his identity as the Lord of Tai Xuan through forum contact after agreeing on the recognition sign.
“So you are the Brother Mu Yuan who discovered the foreign strongman’s trace. I’m sorry for my lack of respect, I’ve admired you for a long time.”
This player showed his respect.
A lord who can discover the trace of a foreign strongman and post a warning message on the forum naturally deserves admiration. However, ‘I’ve admired you for a long time’ was just a polite phrase.
Entering the advanced section required real-name authentication, but who was ‘Mu Yuan’? They seemed not to have heard of him before.
A certain player fell into deep thought.
About an hour after Mu Yuan’s arrival, the leading Lord of Amber City announced the official start of the campaign.
“In this joint campaign, we will push forward in the following formation, eliminating the snake-man tribes’ bases one by one. Amber will not presume to command, we only need help each other in our legions.”
“After the campaign, the spoils of war obtained will be divided according to contributions following the cooperation agreement, with those who contributed more getting priority in selection.”
“Now, let’s move out. May we… start a victorious journey!”
About 20 or 30 legions and player teams, formed a huge army, and crushed the snake-man monsters that blocked the way ahead.
