The Real Battle
So Li Yunlong and Ding Chang came up with a plan.
The group is preparing to launch a more comprehensive attack on South Korea tomorrow, as large numbers of Koreans enter the Winter Is Coming.
The elites of South Korea are all heading into the Winter Is Coming, leaving this Settlement inevitably empty.
At the very least, more people from the Four Great Families need to be killed to resolve the previous feud.
Zhao Jianyu, who was essentially Ding Chang's goddaughter, was eliminated, and Ding Chang had to make the Kim family bleed.
Result...
The news broke that the three major Settlements had formed an alliance!
Upon hearing this news, everyone was stunned, a sense of powerlessness overwhelming them.
No one expected South Korea to suddenly pull such a stunt.
The emergence of this inexplicable alliance has completely changed the course of the battle.
An attack by one South Korea is completely different from an attack by three Settlements working together.
"Damn it! That Park Seong-man is disgusting!"
"They actually called for reinforcements like that!"
"Damn it, they've moved all the other Settlements out. How can this be called a fair fight?"
Li Yunlong paced back and forth in the Conference Room, looking very anxious.
The others were also extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan, but they didn't know what to do.
"That's strange. We've always had conflicts with the Dahe Settlement, so I can understand why they're getting involved now. But we shouldn't have any grudges against the Nirmaner Settlement, right?"
"Why would the Nirmaner suddenly target our Great Xia?" Deng Xian, the director of the Energy Research Institute, asked incredulously.
"Perhaps Park Seong-man offered him a huge reward," Ding Chang said, coughing. "Koreans have always been like this, disregarding integrity."
Sweat had already beaded on his forehead.
The sudden panic and anger caused his condition, which had been improving, to relapse.
"Hmph, in the end, it's because my Great Xia is not strong enough!" Li Yunlong shook his head helplessly.
"The Great Xia has been far too weak these past few years, otherwise these Settlements wouldn't dare to hog us like this!"
Ding Chang patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and forcefully pulled him to sit down in a chair.
"Old Li, now is not the time to complain! Stop with the useless talk."
"What we need to do now is think about how we can help Mr. Lin."
"Perhaps this matter should be left to Commander Long Yuan to handle."
Li Yunlong gave a wry smile.
"Finding the Commander won't help; this is Lin Ye's Instance. Lin Ye's job is to defend, not attack!"
"There's no one else who can help with things like preserving one's foundation."
"Are we just going to sit here and watch our Great Xia emerging genius fall into oblivion?" Ding Chang was also getting agitated.
"Lin Ye has done so much for the Settlement, yet we can't help him in any way?"
Ding Chang's words, though somewhat pessimistic, were nonetheless true.
They racked their brains, only to find that they really couldn't help Lin Ye at all.
Finally, Ding Chang took out his phone and dialed Lin Ye's number.
The matter was of great importance, and he didn't have time to contact him again through his assistant, Bai Tianhao.
Inside the Cliffside Villa, Lin Ye listened to music on his phone while doing his daily jog.
The phone suddenly rang again.
It turned out to be another unfamiliar number.
Lin Ye didn't think much of it and answered the phone directly.
"Mr. Lin, this is Ding Chang."
"There are less than two hours left before your Instance opens. Is there anything I can do for you regarding the joint challenge of 'Winter Is Coming' by the three Settlements of South Korea, Daiwa, and Nirmaner?"
"Mr. Lin, you don't need to be so polite! This is no longer a battle you fought alone. The combined strength of the three Settlements is immeasurable. Please don't hesitate to give us your orders to help you out of this predicament."
"We've thought about it for a long time, but we really can't think of any way to help you alleviate the danger. There's clearly not enough time to transfer the points."
"Furthermore... such a large number of Challengers would require more safety points than the Great Xia treasury could possibly provide..."
Please tell us, what do you need most right now...?
Ding Chang was clearly very impatient and rattled off a bunch of things.
Lin Ye felt dizzy from listening to it.
Lin Ye hasn't turned on his phone or watched TV today, so he hasn't been paying attention to the big news on Azure Star.
"Um..."
"Dean Ding, please don't be impatient. Let me check the news first."
Lin Ye got off the treadmill and immediately turned on the TV to watch it.
At this moment, all the television broadcasts were reporting on one thing: the South Korea Settlement, the Nirmaner Settlement, and the Dahe Settlement had formed an alliance to jointly attack the capital.
Lin Ye's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately perked up.
He really didn't expect Park Seong-man and Kim Geun-seok to pull such a stunt.
"That's interesting."
The system directly accessed the backend personnel list for the Instance.
[NO.1. Adolf Schiller; Race: Aryan people; Level: lv4; Dungeon Works: "Steel War Chariots ", "Concentration Camp", "The Past of Nachui"!]
[NO2. Mansh; Race: Aryan people; Level: lv4; Dungeon Works: Steel Lightning Car, War of Annihilation!]
[NO.3. Erwin Rommel; Race: Aryan people; Level: lv4; Dungeon Works: Tropical War, War Fox!]
[NO4. Guderian; Race: Aryan people; Level: lv4; Dungeon Work: "Ironclad Flesh"!]
[NO.5 Park Seong-man; Race: Goryeo people; Level: lv3; Dungeon Works: "Pearl of the Sea", "Goryeo Dynasty"!]
[NO.6. Xiaochuan; Race: Great He Clan; Level: lv3; Dungeon Works: "Militarism", "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity", "Golden Crow Fusang"!]
[NO.7 Kim Geun-seok; Race: Goryeo people; Level: lv3; Dungeon Work: "The Chaebol's Grandfather"!]
Lin Ye was stunned when he saw this.
"You've got something special."
Damn... this is absolutely amazing, it's practically the dream team of Azure Star!
There were new faces and old enemies, but without exception, Lin Ye was very familiar with all of them, as he frequently read the Hero Ranking.
After all, there are only a handful of people at the top of the Hero Ranking.
Kim Geun-seok, a player who is close to the top 50, was definitely No. 1 in the Winter Is Coming Instance.
This time, they could only rank seventh.
There are four LV4s ahead of us.
Keep in mind that Lin Ye himself is only LV3.
I'm still a ways off from LV4...
Now so many top players are flocking to Winter Is Coming.
From an outsider's perspective, this would definitely be considered a stomp on a noob.
It's obvious these people really want to kill me.
