Game of the World Tree - Chapter 534

Chapter 532: The War Begins

The crackling flames shot up into the sky, lighting up half the sky.

The billowing black smoke continued to rise, filled with a pungent smell.

Eve looked at the Orc Tribe that was gradually engulfed in flames under the ravages of the players, and shook her head slightly as she listened to the whistles and laughter coming from all directions.

“Let’s go.”

She said.

“Yeah.”

Xiao Xian Miao nodded.

She took a deep breath, and then shouted in the battlefield sub-channel of her own guild legion:

“Comrades, it’s almost time, pack up and retreat!”

The crisp and loud voice spread throughout the battlefield channel…

With Xiao Xian Miao’s order, players everywhere immediately took action.

They carried rich spoils and Orc captives, and began to move towards the north of the tribe with laughter and scolding.

There, there was a passage opened by the crypt spiders that led directly to the player camp, which was also the entrance for them to invade the Orc Tribe.

The players crowded together like ants moving to the entrance of the dungeon, lining up to enter the underground one by one…

and after the last player left, the dungeon spiders also swarmed in.

At the same time, they buried the exit of the passage again.

Another round of raids against the Orc tribe ended successfully.

The underground passage opened by the dungeon spiders was long and narrow.

The players cast illumination spells, rode dungeon spiders, or cast galloping magic to move quickly underground.

It was not until more than an hour later that they finally returned to the ground and the camp.

Compared with a few days ago, the players’ camp has changed a lot.

A circle of earth walls that are eight meters high and four meters wide has been built around the camp.

This was built by the players with the help of magic, using local sand and obsidian. The designer was Cuckoo Bird.

The earth wall surrounded the entire camp, and it looked like a six-pointed star when viewed from high above. Combined with the roads in the camp, it looked like a huge magic circle.

On top of the earthen wall, there are simple parapet walls and well-placed crossbow carts. Every other section of the earthen wall, there is an earthen platform about 11 or 12 meters high, on which a modified catapult is placed.

At the same time, on the earthen wall, you can see flags fluttering in the cold wind, at least hundreds of them.

The patterns on the flags are different and beautifully designed. They belong to the player guilds.

Inside the camp, the tents where the players are stationed have also been replanned. They are divided into several large areas based on the guilds, and flat roads have been built between different large tent settlements.

The roads are radial and converge to the center of the camp, an open square.

In the center of the square is a high platform, on which the statue of Eve is enshrined.

Under the high platform, there is also an altar, on which is placed a square module with complex magic patterns and shining with brilliance.

This is a city defense core that can build a divine defense barrier.

The core was not captured, nor was it made temporarily by the players. Instead, Xiao Xianmao persuaded the black dragon Myriel to remove it from the black dragon castle.

It was all to save time…

and with the city defense core and the statue of the true god, it means that the divine defense power can be released.

Once the war starts, the players can activate the power in the statue and start the divine defense barrier. Although it is not as powerful as the Sandstorm City, it can strengthen the earth wall they have built.

So far, the defense power of the player camp has been formed.

From a distance, this no longer looks like a temporary camp, but more like a simple fortress.

Looking at the changes in the camp, Eve is very satisfied.

All this work took the players less than seven days, and it can be said that the construction speed is quite fast.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the rich construction experience accumulated by the players.

With the construction of the Chosen City and the transformation of several elven cities, building a city is no longer a problem for the players.

The return of the Meng Meng Committee Legion did not cause much waves in the camp.

In addition to those players who wanted to purchase specialty products, more players were already accustomed to the actions of the major guilds. They just took a few more glances and continued to do their own things.

The entire camp was very noisy and lively, like a market.

However, the place with the most people was the square in the middle of the camp.

Because of the distance, it was inconvenient for players to return to the Forest of Elves. As a place to worship the goddess statue, in a sense, this place gradually became the center of players’ activities.

Exchange equipment, exchange skills, apply for job transfer, bind equipment…

All these things must be done here.

At the same time, there were many players hanging up in the square, and some people were holding bonfire parties, with laughter and music.

In addition, because almost all the players in the entire server gathered in the camp, some business-minded players even opened shops around the square, and there were hawking and purchasing sounds everywhere.

It didn’t look like a camp, but more like a small town that was gradually rising.

It was very prosperous.

Standing here, even Eve suddenly had the illusion of returning to the central square of the Chosen City.

This made her sigh that the players’ adaptability and creativity were really strong.

She originally thought that the players would feel uncomfortable here because they were familiar with the convenience of the Chosen City, but she didn’t expect that even a camp could be transformed by them into a small but complete camp…

Eve had no doubt that if they were given a few more months, this would no longer be a camp, but a real city!

The golden red sun kept setting in the west, coating the desert with a layer of intoxicating orange.

The wrinkles of sand and stones were like solidified waves, extending to the distant horizon…

Eve stood on the earth wall of the camp and looked into the distance.

Her sight gradually stopped at the Sandstorm City hidden in the darkness in the south.

“It’s about to start.”

She murmured.

As if responding to Eve’s mumbling, after a while, the originally lively camp suddenly had a commotion…

Then, Eve noticed that Li Mu hurriedly came to the earth wall and looked around.

When he saw Eve, his eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to salute, and said with a look of surprise:

“Lord Ling, we have received information that the orcs will launch an attack tomorrow morning!”

“However, it is not clear how many troops they will send out.”

Being connected to the underground world is the advantage of Sandstorm City, but also its weakness.

For the black market merchants in the underground world, there is nothing that money cannot buy.

Players can get in touch with black market merchants to get the statue of Holder, and they can also get information inside Sandstorm City.

If the orcs at least know to check the identity of the entrants, otherwise, there would have been bold players pretending to be black market merchants to sneak into Sandstorm City to cause trouble…

After listening to Li Mu’s words, Eve nodded gently:

“I know.”

“Then be prepared to fight, and consider the worst case scenario. They may come out in full force.”

“Before the mythical power appears, it depends on you to what extent you can deal a blow to the orcs.”

Li Mu nodded heavily, looking excited:

“Yes!”

…

The news that the orcs were about to take the initiative to attack quickly spread throughout the camp.

The camp, which was originally relaxed and lively, soon turned into a wartime state.

The bonfire party ended, the trading ended, and the idle ended…

The players were excited, and their eyes were full of expectations for the war.

The action plan this time was no longer a secret in the entire server.

And the orcs decided to go out, which meant that they had taken the bait.

The real decisive battle is likely to come.

This battle is likely to directly affect the direction of the entire war!

The top leaders of various guilds began to take action, summoning guild members and actively preparing for the war.

And the online players also called their friends and contacted their offline friends to remind them to prepare for the time to go online.

The entire player camp was like a huge war weapon, operating slowly.

The war mobilization lasted for nearly three hours before it slowly ended.

The originally noisy camp gradually fell into silence.

Only the bright lights and a few figures were still flickering in the dark.

Most of the players were offline.

They had to conserve their energy and prepare for the next day’s battle.

One night… passed quickly.

…

The morning glow was so bright, the red sun in the desert was like a huge, hot red agate, shining brightly.

The light shone on the yellow-brown earth wall, and the whistling morning wind made the flags rustle.

It was morning.

The players put on their equipment and walked out of their tents.

They greeted each other and yawned lazily.

At the same time, you can hear their complaints from time to time:

“Really… I feel that if this happens a few more times, I really can’t tell the difference between real time and game time.”

“I can now confirm that the plot of this game is definitely not designed in advance! Otherwise, the war time would never be so abnormal…”

“I think it’s a planning problem…”

“Oh, it’s accelerated thinking! Just get used to it. You won’t feel sleepy after entering the game and adapting for a few seconds. And while we are playing here, we can still catch up on sleep in reality, right?”

“Okay…”

It’s hard for them.

Unlike the early morning in the world of Segos, it’s still three o’clock in the morning on Blue Star. In order to join the battle as soon as possible, many players set the alarm and got up directly from bed.

Although their bodies on the Blue Planet can still sleep and rest after entering the game, anyone would feel sleepy after such an incident in the middle of the night.

Not only that, many people were too excited to sleep, so they were not in good mental state when they went online.

Of course, they just moved around for a while and soon became energetic.

Players came to the world of Segos with only consciousness.

When their consciousness was separated from their bodies, the negative state of their bodies naturally could not affect them.

As for some liver emperors of “Elf Kingdom”.

As long as the body monitoring system of the stealth cabin did not alarm, they could even stay in the game until “the end of time”…

back to the present.

As time went by, more and more players went online.

The number of online people in the battlefield channel gradually approached 100,000.

Unlike the previous separate battles, this time it was a real 100,000-strong army fighting together.

Even if they complained again, the players were rubbing shoulders and looking forward to it.

The quiet camp gradually became lively again.

“Have you checked the catapults and ballistas? And the magic stone explosives!”

“Alright, alright! They’re all in place!”

“How’s the divine defense barrier? Is it working properly?”

“No problem!”

“Are there any who haven’t come online yet? Come up quickly! The public screen has urged you!”

“Coming! Coming!”

“Are there any who haven’t come online yet? Call them to come online!”

“Damn, won’t they be scolded for calling in the middle of the night? It’s only half past three…”

“I definitely won’t call those who didn’t tell me in advance! Wake up those who said they were going to come online but didn’t! They probably turned off the alarm and went back to sleep!”

“Too real…”

The rhythmic BGM sounded again in the battlefield channel, stimulating everyone’s nerves.

The players took their positions one after another, and the earth wall was soon filled with fully armed elves.

After they were thoroughly prepared, the sky was already bright.

Sandstorm City, which was hidden in the darkness because of the mountains and its own color, also reappeared under the sun…

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness and shone on the 100-meter spire, all the players heard a loud horn:

“Woo–“

The horn was deep, vicissitudes, and profound.

When the players who had participated in the battle of Black Dragon Castle heard the sound of the horn, their eyes lit up:

“This is the horn of the orcs! It’s their attack horn!”

“They… are really going to attack!”

Listening to the popular science of the old predecessors, the new players were all shocked.

They stretched their necks, or used magic, or widened their eyes, looking in the direction of Sandstorm City…

At a distance of 20 kilometers, plus various terrain obstacles, they could not see clearly. They

only vaguely noticed that there seemed to be dust rolling on the horizon.

However, Eve, standing on the earth wall tower, saw the movements of Sandstorm City clearly.

The orcs took action.

The 200,000 orcs stationed in four directions outside the city left their bases. They formed four large military formations and began to move slowly towards the players.

At the same time, the gates of Sandstorm City slowly opened, and fully armed orc warriors continued to pour out of the city and join the army outside the city.

On the ground, dust was flying and filled with rolled yellow sand.

Countless flags were raised by the orcs, which were large and small tribal symbols in the Death Desert.

One after another, gigantic behemoths appeared in the Orc army. They roared, snarled, and slapped their hairy chests, advancing in the army.

Looking around, it was a sea of black.

Gradually, a deafening sound began to be heard from afar.

That was the footsteps of the Orc army.

The war has begun…

I want to apologize! I… have read novels for another day! I can’t make up for it today… But I won’t forget it, and I will definitely make it up this month! No… I will definitely make it up tomorrow! (I won’t mention the name of the novel, it’s a female romance, and it’s about house fighting, I guess you don’t like it either, hahaha!)
