VCRMM: Chapter 401

Before the war started, Late Night Poisoning came to Bewatt early to wait.

He lay on the road that the lizardmen had to take to reach the oasis and ambushed carefully, waiting for the enemy to enter the encirclement.

The players had all evacuated the desert oasis.

The natives of Bewatt Star who lived in the oasis, such as the cat tribe, had also been transferred to the Roland Empire through the ultra-long-distance teleportation circle, settling in the nearest ancient city of Sovo.

As a newly built city, Sovo was very suitable for housing the mini beastmen from Bewatt Star.

It was to remain vigilant against outsiders but it was also to protect them. After all, their cute appearance was so popular that they might cause unnecessary unrest if placed in a crowded city.

Moreover, the mini beastmen were very small. Even if tens of thousands of them were moved, they wouldn’t take up too much space and it wouldn’t cost much food to feed them.

As for the original player base, it was used as bait to attract the attention of the lizardmen. Once the lizardmen entered the oasis to cause damage, they would launch a sneak attack from behind and try to catch them all in one go.

It was a plan made privately by the players. Thanks to the help of the spy players who tipped them off, their plan was carried out very smoothly.

“Brothers, we will be rich as long as we take down this army!”

“Fight quickly and make a quick decision. Use your strongest fighting force and don’t hold back! Otherwise, we won’t get anything once Roland’s NPC army arrives.”

The commander was shouting at the top of his lungs in the channel for the pre-war mobilization.

The moment the mention of the NPC army came out, even Late Night Poisoning couldn’t help being more alert.

Yes, it was well known that the NPCs in Starry Sky Age often snatched monsters from players. They had protested many times but the planners refused to change the settings!

They also carried out this sneak attack plan without telling the NPC.

After the release of the super-large war mission, the points earned on the Bewatt battlefield had doubled. This meant double the fun!

Therefore, in order to gain points, they had to implement the principles of preventing fire, theft and NPCs. They must not let NPCs steal their military merits!

Their original plan was well-planned and everything went very smoothly at the beginning. They didn’t expect that before the lizardmen launched their attack, the Roland Empire’s player airdrop operation had already begun!

Millions of players were turned into cards and airdropped to several cities in the Bewatt Empire.

The moment the card effect was lifted, the Bewatt battlefield channel was flooded with players. The Roland Empire’s war of revenge against the Bewatt Empire officially began!

The lizardmen, who were originally targeting the desert oasis, urgently changed direction and headed for the nearest attacked city to provide reinforcements.

The encirclement hadn’t been closed but there was no other way. After hearing the commander’s order, Late Night Poisoning left his hiding place, aimed at the nearest lizardman army and launched an attack.

This was the largest war he had ever participated in since he started playing games. He had never been so excited even when facing a wave of interstellar beasts.

Maybe it was because they were facing intelligent creatures this time?

After so much training, Late Night Poisoning had fully tapped into the profession of a light-type warrior. His elusiveness combined with his accurate marksmanship made him seem like he had divine help!

There was no suspense in this battle.

They had an undead army consisting of tens of thousands, an ample supply of health and mana potions and the ultra-long-range teleportation circle deep in the desert. After death, they could quickly resurrect and run back.

The players’ health and mana potions were exchanged directly in the faction warehouse.

In just less than a week, all types of supplies in the faction warehouse had been replenished by Xu Sili. No matter how many the players redeemed, the warehouse would be displayed as full.

Moreover, during the war, all supply exchanges would be 50% off and equipment would also be discounted to a certain extent.

As more and more players learned inscriptions, the level of inscription masters gradually increased.

In addition to the original inscribed illusion staff, Yin Xing was both a weapon master and an inscription master, so he successfully applied a variety of inscriptions to weapons and created a large number of inscribed equipment.

Most of the materials for these inscribed equipment were provided by the Elementalist Academy, and were eventually acquired by Xu Sili.

Now he had taken out all the inscribed equipment.

Half of it was given to the strong people in the NPC army and out of the remaining half, the basic ones were put into the faction warehouse while the higher-end ones were put into the battlefield mall to encourage players to participate more in the war.

The players’ eyes sparkled at the sight of these pieces of equipment with inscription special effects, especially those who were participating in the Starry Sky Cup e-sports competition.

Having such a piece of equipment would definitely play a vital role in the competition! Even if the points were frighteningly high, it couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of the players.

Even with the inscribed equipment, the high-tech equipment seized from the lizardmen was exciting enough!

A relatively Buddhist player like Late Night Poisoning couldn’t help turning green with envy when seeing the lizardmen.

Therefore, in the eyes of the attacked lizardmen army, these Roland warriors seemed to be endless. They killed one after another, but it seemed that they could never kill all of them.

Every one of these people was crazy!

Yes, every one of them was crazy!

Even the lizardmen, who claimed to be a fighting race, were frightened by the madness of the Roland warriors.

They seemed to have no fear of death at all, and they fought with their lives at stake. What was even more strange was that the look in the eyes of these Roland warriors when looking at them wasn’t hatred.

In the eyes of these fearless warriors, the lizardmen could only see excitement, fanaticism and greed!

It seemed that in the warriors’ eyes, they weren’t enemies but the most delicious food in the world. In order to fight for the lizardmen, they even killed their own people!

The lizardmen deeply felt the fear that the Clive star thieves had felt back then, and felt even worse.

In the eyes of the players, each of them became a point!

How could such an attitude not be frightening?

The lizardmen army only held out for more than half an hour before it started to collapse.

An army of tens of thousands of players, relying on health and mana potions, healing spells and resurrection, managed to display the momentum that only a million people could muster.

Of course, what dealt a fatal blow to the lizardmen army was—

The roar of an explosion was heard from the direction of the lizardmen’s capital. The beam of light that fell from the sky could be seen clearly even from a long distance.

What was even more infuriating was that there were live broadcast screens in the skies over various places on Bewatt Star, replaying the tragedy that just occurred infinitely. This let all the lizardmen know that their capital had been bombed!

Watching the capital’s administrative center reduced to ruins, all the lizardmen who witnessed this tragedy went crazy.

“Ahhh, His Majesty… His Majesty has been blown up to death again!”

“What’s going on? Why is the super battleship targeting the capital?”

“Traitor! There must be a traitor!”

The lizardmen lost their leader once again and discovered that the super battleship in outer space was likely controlled by the enemy. No matter how strong their fighting power was, it was inevitably affected.

What’s more, they had long been abused by the crazy people!

The war progressed much faster than expected.

After persisting for more than an hour, Late Night Poisoning and his teammates finally encountered the NPC army of the Roland Empire.

All the NPCs sent here were elementalists of two stars or above.

There were only a few thousand NPCs, but the combat power they exerted was completely equivalent to tens of thousands of players. Of course, those were players without resurrection skills.

When the players discovered that the NPC army had joined the battlefield, they became extremely anxious and started killing even harder and crazier.

Points, these were all points!

This also led to a sharp increase in the speed of the war.

The same situation occurred in several other cities where player troops were deployed.

Of course, the troops deployed in other cities weren’t low star NPC soldiers but powerful NPCs with top combat capabilities.

For example, at the largest and most difficult military base of the Bewatt Empire, in addition to the army of players, the Roland Empire sent only one person.

On the battlefield, the players still fighting fiercely with the lizardmen army suddenly heard a loud noise.

This type of noise seemed a bit abrupt on the battlefield, but influenced by the sound, many players stopped and looked up at the sky.

Many people were even knocked away by the lizardmen’s mechas because they looked up at the sky, but this didn’t stop the players.

They shouted loudly. Many people who didn’t know what was going on turned their cameras and soon saw clearly what was happening in the sky.

Tens of thousands of meters in the sky, a blond-haired man in his signature white military uniform was floating in the air. His whole body was emitting a golden light and his gray-blue eyes also turned golden.

The enemy’s fighter planes discovered him and turned their fire to bombard him.

The artillery fire was fast and dense enough to blow a combat ship to pieces.

However, facing such an attack, the man simply waved his hand. All the laser cannons with a destructive aura were blocked outside the invisible barrier and disappeared in an instant.

Then the man reached up to the sky and caught a ball flashing with a faint blue electric light. He threw it to the ground with unparalleled strength.

Thunder Judgment!

All the players who saw it shouted the name of this skill in unison.

This was the second time Si Sheng had used this move in front of players.

Its power was even more terrifying than during the previous closed beta test!

They saw a massive bolt of lightning hitting the ground and transforming into endless electric light that spread toward the surface. All the high-tech equipment that came into contact with it was paralyzed.

These electric lights seemed to have eyes and only attacked the lizardmen.

By the time all the lightning disappeared, all the lizardmen in the entire military base had lost their breath, their lives taken away by the lightning. Even the battleships in the sky fell to the ground.

After doing this, the blond-haired man in the sky flicked his cloak and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The players were deeply shocked when they saw this scene. At the same time, they felt like crying.

The same tragedy didn’t just happen here.

Several other cities attacked by players received the strongest reinforcements an hour or two after the war began.

For example, Prince Xenos controlled a waterfall to fall from the sky, submerged the entire city and froze it in an instant. There was also the ancient beast Chamo, who could tear apart space and kill the enemy invisibly…

One after another, the good-looking NPCs on the popularity list showed their amazing fighting power to the players for the first time!
