The words of the illusory figure echoed in the ears of the crowd.
A chill ran through the hearts of everyone present.
Lu Yu said, “It means that if you fail to capture a city within the time limit, you’re considered defeated. So, how exactly is a city considered captured?”
The illusory figure said, “Beneath the arena in the city center, there is a giant beast. Defeating it will count as victory.”
Lu Yu immediately recalled that someone had used a telescope to observe people on this planet burying a giant beast beneath the city’s central underground.
So these giants are the key to the war.
“Any more questions?” another illusory figure asked. “If there are no further doubts, then the countdown begins. Ten days from now, the siege will commence.”
No one raised any further questions.
Three illusory figures spoke in unison: “Countdown beginning, everyone please get ready!”
After finishing their speech, the illusory figures all vanished into the void.
More than ten thousand people stood amidst the ruins, sensing a whiff of death.
Now the group had split into three factions, each naturally separating from the others.
A group of people gathered around Lu Yu and others, mostly representatives from various cities in Huaxia and different international organizations.
Some people gathered around the Dungeon Lord; these were mostly the Blood Eyes of the dungeon. Others surrounded Luo Mo, a man wearing heavy armor, and the Heaven-splitting King, among others; these were mostly representatives from various cities.
Among the three factions, the Blood Eyes accounted for nearly half.
In this world, the number of Blood Eyes has long surpassed that of humans.
The Sky-Sundering King licked his lips, staring at Lu Yu with a sinister voice: “I suspect there will come a day when we clash in a great battle. But for now, it’s better that we each make our own preparations.”
“On that day, you will die like the generals of these cities.”
As Lu Yu waved his hand, three poison-infused individuals approached and stood beside him in a row.
Many people frowned immediately.
They had witnessed with their own eyes how these three generals transformed into toxic beings after death, yet still retained their general-level strength.
Huowu said, “Let’s get ready. What should we prepare?”
The Blood-Weeping Inheritor said, “That means there are no restrictions; you can prepare anything you want.”
“But how should I prepare?”
Everyone turned their gaze toward Lu Yu.
Both deities just mentioned Lu Yu by name, wanting him to join their respective sides. This is equivalent to acknowledging Lu Yu’s strength.
If a leader had to be chosen at a moment like this, it could only be Lu Yu.
Lu Yu looked at Xue Ji, and others like Huo Wu also turned their gaze toward her.
After all, here probably only Xue Ji knows about some matters on the Divine Spirit Star.
Yuki said, “I’ve only come this far as well, and this is the furthest I’ve ever been. To capture a city of a god’s servant, we need an army. Without a million soldiers, we shouldn’t even think about it.”
A dungeon master sneered coldly, “Is that really necessary? Any one of us could easily defeat a Divine Servant. Are we actually afraid of them?”
The Snow Princess said, “Three thousand people—you actually want to face tens of millions of divine servants? Do you even understand what lies hidden within that city? Do you have any idea how terrifying the attack of tens of millions of divine servants would be? Given your strength, even a hundred divine servants could suppress you completely, leaving you no chance to fight back! What can our three thousand people possibly withstand—hundreds of thousands? Millions? And then, how do you plan to kill the remaining divine servants?”
The dungeon master’s expression subtly changed as he不服气道, “Didn’t you hear what the illusory figure said? All we need to do is destroy that colossal beast in the city center. Why do you insist on fighting against tens of millions of divine servants, wasting time?”
“Hmph!” Xue Ji said coldly. “You don’t have to listen to me. But with no ten thousand soldiers guarding you, the moment you step into the city will be your doom. Do you understand?”
“You—” the underground city tried to speak.
The Sword King roared, “Enough! Now that you’re all here, do you still want to fight each other to the death?”
The dungeon master shut up.
The nine people he brought out have already lost eight in the battle just now, and now only two remain.
He had long known the harshness and pressure here, and knew that the two of them could not survive at all.
Now he keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t want to say much.
Lu Yu said, “As for the army, I actually have a solution. Using my poison, I can create an entire legion. However, I think there should be quite a few people among you who also possess similar abilities, or skills that allow you to create countless powerful clones, right?”
Some nodded, while others expressed their agreement.
Someone said, “Since the deity didn’t specify how to prepare, it means we can improvise. I think there should be many wild beasts in the wilderness of this Spirit Star. If we can turn them into puppets, our combat strength would probably improve significantly.”
“That’s right, this idea is quite good,” said a representative from the Chinese military. “Through our observations, we have indeed found many beast nests in the wilderness of this divine star. If we can locate one nest, we can guarantee at least ten thousand beasts within it. As long as half of these beasts are usable, it will be good news for us.”
The dungeon master who first questioned Yukki spoke again, “There are many people with the puppet skill. How should the beasts be distributed? Should they be divided equally, or should each beast belong to the one who defeated it?”
This time, many people remained silent.
This dungeon master is annoying, but what he asked is right.
How should we divide it equally?
The Lord of the Netherworld said, “Those who possess puppet skills will be the main force once the battle begins. I wonder who among you has such abilities?”
Everyone turned to look at Lu Yu, as he possessed the strongest ability, so it was natural to look to him first.
“You don’t need to count me in—I have my own way. I know that Huowu’s King-Making skill can transform the deceased into puppets with equal combat strength. As for others, I’m not sure.”
Yuki said, “I can transform the deceased into an army of ice and snow.”
The Blood-Weeping Inheritor continued, “I only need blood, a vast amount of blood, to create my Blood Beast Legion.”
“My ability…” A dungeon master also stepped forward.
In addition to Lu Yu, there were ten other people who possessed puppetry skills.
The Supreme One said, “Each person possessing puppet skills will be protected by three hundred companions to search for and destroy beast nests, creating a mighty puppet army. Does anyone still have objections?”
This time, no one objected.
Xiaoxiao said, “No, that’s not right. Big Brother is also someone who possesses puppet skills—you didn’t count him.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Everyone, split into ten groups and don’t worry about me. I’m going to take a tour of the City of the Divine Servants!”
As soon as he finished speaking, many people’s faces immediately broke into smiles.
The place with the most people is naturally the city of the divine servants.
People like Lu Yu, with his abilities, would certainly find a way to get out after entering the city.
Everyone could already see that the poisoned person had the ability to spread the infection.
As long as Lu Yu could enter the city, it was practically a treasure trove of resources.
Many people were assigned to their respective groups. Huo Wu and Lu Yu embraced each other to say goodbye, and they might not meet again for at least ten days.
Lu Yu watched as everyone left, then his back sprouted the wings of the Eagle King, carrying him into the sky.
Behind him, three poisoned men closely followed!
One mountain range after another, beyond the vast plains, a city with walls hundreds of meters high had already appeared before him.
“It’s you.”
Lu Yu accelerated, leaving a blurred trail in the air, and came to a stop outside the city wall.
The towering city gate, hundreds of meters high, stood open, with a continuous flow of people entering and exiting.
“Haha, that was really exhilarating just now. Destroying a whole city is just too satisfying.”
“Yeah, no need to worry about anything at all. Just get everything that’s alive to work.”
“There are still many powerful individuals in this era, but we have also obtained quite a bit of spoils from battle. I refined a single blood pearl from the bodies of a thousand people; consuming it will further enhance my strength, even if just slightly.”
“Before long, we’ll have another chance. Just wait, every last one of these humans will die eventually. When we return to that land again, I’m confident I’ll be able to attain strength close to that of the General.”
“Once the Endgame Tide is over, we’ll receive a huge reward.”
The servants of the divine walked toward the city’s outskirts, discussing a recent, satisfying war of destruction.
But they were talking more about what rewards they might receive.
Then they saw a figure dart past their eyes.
More than ten people sensed the crisis and simultaneously unleashed their full strength.
Boom!
Three figures descended rapidly from the sky.
The three figures moved too fast; each punch landed on a Divine Servant with such force that it shattered the servant into pieces.
Amidst the splattering blood and flesh, a black aura was intermingled.
In an instant, dozens of divine servants perished.
This left the people behind in shock, as they couldn’t think of anyone daring enough to commit murder on the Divine Star, and even more so, within their own city.
Three figures, completely clad in black and surrounded by dark auras, appeared before them.
“He’s the Celestial Eye General, it’s the Celestial Eye General!” shouted a divine servant, immediately realizing something was wrong, and began running toward the city.
Boom!
Three poison masters launched their attack, their potent toxic gas transforming into a pair of giant venomous dragons under their control, completely engulfing the hundreds of people at the city gate.
“Ahh!”
Everywhere there were people screaming in pain and crying for help.
As the three poison men launched their attack, they had already stepped across the city gate and entered the city.
People in the city still did not know what had happened.
The bustling crowd pressed together, with thousands of people chatting and laughing, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
When the three poison-infused individuals stepped into the city, the toxic gas surrounding them had already transformed into a dragon, surging into the crowd. Over a thousand people were turned into black bloody mud and fell to the ground, shattered by the poison.
Vroom!
Outside the city gate, hundreds of black men rushed into the city. As soon as they entered, they attacked the surrounding crowds who had not yet realized what was happening.
Three general-level poison users launched their attacks, leaving destruction in their wake—whether buildings or people, anything that stood in their way was utterly annihilated.
Everywhere there were screams, everywhere there were mangled bodies.
Hoo!
The alarm horn, rarely heard at the corner of the city wall, began to sound.
Wu, wu, wu…
One by one, horns sounded, continuously spreading the news of the enemy’s arrival from the edge of the city walls to every corner of the city.
“What’s going on here?”
“Enemy attack? How could there be an enemy attack?”
“The people of that city are so bold, daring to come all the way to our city to kill.”
In the city, countless divine servants roared; each one, brimming with murderous intent, charged toward the place where the horn had sounded.
“Roar!”
Everyone looked up at the sky, where a dark shadow blocked the view.
A black dragon with the strength of three billion beings soared through the sky, and one of its dragon claws stepped into the city.
Dragon claws crushed a vast area of buildings and trampled thousands of divine servants beneath their feet.
Immediately afterwards, the Black Dragon was blasted into countless black gas by thousands of divine servants.
However, thousands of divine servants screamed in agony, black blood oozing from their five senses.
At this moment, more than ten thousand divine servants also arrived at the city wall in the first instance; they were all stunned when they saw everything before them.
They could hardly believe that such a thing could happen!
