Chapter 1516: Turning into Scattered Birds

“International War?”

Sacred Mountain was taken aback, “Didn’t you say we shouldn’t do it?”

Boundless Ocean sighed and said, “In a situation like this, we have to even if we shouldn’t.”

If this matter had not made its way to the forum, it would be over if they bore with it.

Now that everyone knew about it, it wouldn’t make sense if they still chose not to do anything.

Retaliating after being hit was a heroic act. Even if they lost the eventual fight, a small portion of people would still praise them for fighting back.

If they chose not to retaliate, they would be deemed losers forever...

In comparison, the only thing Ancient Empire could do was to put everything into one fight.

At the very least, they could do so with some dignity.

“Alright! I will inform everyone else now!” Sacred Mountain had endured a lot of abuse on the forum. He felt much better after hearing Boundless Ocean’s command as he hurriedly left the office.

As Boundless Ocean watched Sacred Mountain’s departing back view, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Just who on earth is causing all this trouble? What is their intention? Don’t tell me they’re hiding in Forgotten City waiting to ambush us? It seems like we have to be careful this time.”

...

News spread like an epidemic in the online world.

The incident where Ancient Empire was exterminated by westerners spread throughout every corner of the country.

“Since when was Ethel Mountain Ridge so lively?” Fearless couldn’t help but ask the guild chat when he saw the news, “Does anyone know what is going on?”

“Not me!”

Everyone from Quan Zhen Sect started replying.

“What about you, Old Bull? Are you not going to state your opinion on such a huge matter?” Fearless continued asking.

“I am watching the show from the country’s border,” Wang Yu replied casually.

As the Ancient Empire’s players were forced to retreat, Wang Yu and A Thousand Old Blossoms were hiding on the other side of the country’s border waiting to take advantage of the crisis. They had returned to the country’s server so he could receive Fearless’ message again.

“???”

Seeing Wang Yu’s reply, everyone inquired, “What is going on? Don’t tell me you caused this?”

The Quan Zhen Sect caused trouble wherever they went and as the number one destroyer of the Quan Zhen Sect, one had to question whether Wang Yu was involved in this especially since he was at the scene of the incident.

Wang Yu replied faintly, “Not me...”

“So who did it?” Everyone asked.

“Its Meng Xi,” Wang Yu betrayed Meng Xi immediately.

“The two of you are together?” Frost Blade asked.

“En! We’re doing a quest!” Wang Yu continued, “Planned by the system!”

“Don’t worry...” Frost Blade replied in an unconcerned manner, “The system is the biggest! I don’t mind!”

“I’m not speaking to you!” Wang Yu scolded, “I am telling that to my wife.”

Frost Blade, “...”

“Haha! It seems like Uncle Bull really doesn’t want to die...” Vainglory mocked, “Don’t worry, Mrs Bull doesn’t look at this chat.”

This Vainglory simply disregarded his seniority in the group.

Just as Vainglory said that, Mu Zixian replied on the group chat, “Says who? You better come back early.”

“...”

Looking at Mu Zixian’s reply, everyone felt chills on their back. Who would have thought that this lady had been reading the chat all along?

At the crucial moment, Fearless stepped in to change the topic of conversation, “So this matter between Ancient Empire and Forgotten City is caused by Meng Xi?”

“That’s right!” Wang Yu replied.

“But it shouldn’t happen, right?” Fearless continued, “Given Boundless Ocean’s brain, he should have seen through this scheme...”

“En, that’s right!” Wang Yu responded faintly, “Which was why Meng Xi got someone to post on the forum which gave Boundless Ocean additional pressure.”

“Oh...” Everyone took in one deep breath when they heard Wang Yu’s words. Following which, they couldn’t help but reply together, “Fearless ah, the new generation is replacing the old...”

After hanging out with Fearless for such a long time, they had learnt a few tricks from Fearless. Naturally, they were able to tell that the posts on the forum were the key to forcing Ancient Empire into a situation where they had no other choice.

Who would have thought that the forum post was also instigated by this lady to block out Ancient Empire’s retreat route? A scheme that was this comprehensive was certainly not inferior compared to Fearless.

Even Fearless was slightly surprised, “Aiyo, it’s indeed pretty decent. It reminds me of myself a few years ago. Frost Blade, I do not think marrying such a smart lady is a wise choice.”

“F*ck you! I make my own decision!” Frost Blade pointed a middle finger at Fearless.

Frost Blade laughed as he muted Frost Blade.

At this point, Wang Yu also replied, “The Ancient Empire’s players are here. I have to leave the country again so I cannot chat anymore!”

After saying that, Wang Yu closed the chat.

...

As the number one guild in the country, Ancient Empire was far bigger than Sanguine Alliance. Even though they were not a colossus like Peerless Heaven, they still had over 100,000 players.

In reality, they only sent 50,000 players over but as they walked from Wild City, one couldn’t see the end of the squad.

Upon seeing the arrival of the squad.

Wang Yu and A Thousand Old Blossoms hung their fake Ancient Empire’s badges as they squeezed into Ancient Empire’s squad. Not too long later, they arrived within Forgotten City.

Because Ancient Empire was the overlord of their area, all the resources in this place were controlled by Ancient Empire. Therefore, the guild was incredibly wealthy.

Forgotten City was a small remote city in the European server as they only had tens of thousands of players. In fact, they didn’t even have as many players as the number of players Ancient Empire sent here.

In a game, everyone cared only about benefits while some cared about loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness. Moreover, the foreigners didn’t believe in this.

The moment they heard that Ancient Empire’s main body was here for a massacre, the Forgotten City’s players panicked. Some ran away while others went offline...

Less than ten thousand players were left in the city.

These ten thousand players were those with headquarters here. They couldn’t leave even if they wanted to.

Presently, Forgotten City’s gate was shut tight.

Sacred Mountain was not going to stand on courtesy as he waved his hand and a row of town-besieging escalades descended on the city gate.

See that? This was the benefit of being wealthy and full of resources. No other guild could probably do this in such a stylish manner.

Without the escalades, players would have to force their way through the city gate. A city gate was not that big so only about ten players could stand in a row to attack it. Attacking it this way would take over an hour just for them to open up the gate.

With the escalades, it was merely a matter of a few exchanges.

“Forget it! Retreat!”

Skeleton King stood on the city wall as he wanted to fight to his death with the Ancient Empire’s army.

After seeing Ancient Empire’s escalade attack, he was immediately discouraged. Without hesitation, he gave the order for Glorious Sword to retreat.

Glorious Sword was the main defending force of Forgotten City. If they retreated, others would naturally not think they could resist the invasion of Ancient Empire.

Therefore, before Ancient Empire could even start attacking the city, the remaining players guarding Forgotten City had already turned into scattered birds.
