Eight Great Settlements!
This world is cruel like that.
Even if Lin Ye had never harmed them, they would still choose to stand on the opposite side because of their fear of Lin Ye.
Ultimately, these are all inevitable consequences of the dungeon-based system.
The final raid in Winter Is Coming will have a scale of five million players.
With such a large pool of applicants, who can guarantee they won't be selected?
Faced with such a supermodel like Lin Ye, everyone was worried about the future... including those who were currently standing at the top of the Hero Rankings.
In this world, if you are weak, everyone will treat you as prey!
You are a powerful person, and the first thing everyone thinks about is whether they can unite to eliminate you, which would be equivalent to getting rid of a potential threat to themselves.
Only when you are strong, like the Germanic Settlement, and the entire Settlement is strong, can you truly awe the world.
The reason why the German Settlement is so strong is not only because of Seele and the three generals, but also because the entire Settlement is full of strong people!
The reason these people dare to act so aggressively is simply because they believe Lin Ye has no backing, the Great Xia Settlement is too weak, and Lin Ye cannot be relied upon.
Furthermore, both "Winter Is Coming" and "Raging Waves" are currently restricted, meaning Lin Ye is temporarily without offensive capabilities.
"Oh..."
Lin Ye shook his head helplessly.
It just goes to show how short-sighted these people are!
This vast knowledge base, spanning generations, is Lin Ye's greatest asset!
Hao drove for more than two hours before finally stopping in the very center of Great Xia City.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Ye realized it was a large complex of buildings resembling an ancient palace, somewhat similar to the Forbidden City in his previous life.
The sign reads, "Great Xia Copy Research Center" in six large characters.
"Mr. Lin, please follow me." Several staff members came forward to guide Lin Ye.
At the same time, Bai Tianhao followed Lin Ye into the dungeon research center.
After transmigrating, Lin Ye had heard some information about the Instance Research Center.
This is the core area of Great Xia Settlement!
It contains all the technological achievements of the Great Xia to date.
However, this kind of thing held no appeal for Lin Ye.
After wandering back and forth in the large courtyard for a while, we finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Hidden among layers of trees, a small, detached house is faintly visible.
"Mr. Lin, this is the conference room of the Copy Research Center."
Please come in with me.
All the staff stopped outside the courtyard, and Bai Tianhao led Lin Ye inside.
As soon as Lin Ye entered the room, he saw that everyone in the room stood up in unison.
These people were dressed in different ways; some were in military uniforms, some in Western suits, and others in standard academic gowns.
Without exception, they all showed great respect.
"Mr. Lin, I am Li Yunlong, Commander-in-Chief of the Army."
"Mr. Lin, I am Deng Xian, the director of the Second Research Institute."
"..."
At the far end of the room, an old man wearing a white vest was leisurely drinking tea.
Then he patted the seat next to him.
"I am Long Yuan."
"Lin Ye, come and sit down."
"You are a genius of our Great Xia, and we should be praising you properly, but unfortunately, the situation is urgent, so let's skip the pleasantries."
Lin Ye walked straight over and nodded respectfully to Long Yuan.
"Thank you for the privilege card, Commander Long Yuan."
"Don't be so polite, let's get straight to the meeting."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an official meeting of the Great Xia. I'm just an ordinary person, so I probably don't have the right to attend, right?" Lin Ye said with a smile.
"Don't be coy. Azure Star values strength and contribution above all else, and so does Great Xia. In a few days, I will hand over my command to you." Long Yuan grinned.
Long Yuan was quite direct.
Lin Ye did not refuse again and sat down directly.
He knew that the reason he was summoned directly was probably because of the eight Settlements' joint resistance against the Great Xia Settlement.
This incident certainly had a significant impact on him.
Although he now has the Exemption Authority, he is not afraid of being dragged into a dungeon and harmed.
But if, as those people have threatened, the Great Xia really does expel me, it will inevitably affect my future advancement.
Although Lin Ye didn't expect the Settlement to help him in any way, he was surrounded by his own people, and the organizations in the Settlement treated him well, without bothering him or making demands.
If he were to choose a good place to settle on this planet, the Great Xia Settlement would definitely be the best.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Long Yuan has no intention of kicking him out.
"Yesterday, the Amnesty Day, eight Settlements simultaneously launched an attack on our Settlement!"
"More than one million young designers were wiped out in the Settlement yesterday."
"This time, even the Fulangche family, which ranks first on the Heavenly Ranking, has joined the fray, and it includes almost half of the top twenty experts on the Heavenly Ranking!"
"This is the largest siege our Great Xia has experienced since the 'Great Xia Expedition' fifty years ago!"
"Damn it! These bastards are just taking advantage of the fact that our Great Xia has been weak for years!"
"..."
The meeting lasted a long time, and Lin Ye heard a lot of news that he had never heard before.
It turns out that even without war, this world can still be so devastating.
The Winter Is Coming was cruel enough, but it only wiped out a few hundred thousand people. In the end, this Eight Settlements Alliance wiped out a million people of Great Xia in one fell swoop!
Come to think of it, even if you're strong in your own instance, it's still just an instance.
Currently, all instances of the eight Settlements are being used to attack Great Xia. Individually, they may not be strong, but when they are gathered together, they should not be underestimated.
"Elder Long, my idea is that we should first utilize the Great Xia's points system to protect the most promising young designers..."
"Furthermore, we must launch a dispersed attack. My army has requested permission to engage the Beautiful Settlement. Tomorrow, I will arrange for all the designers in the team to attack the people in the Beautiful Settlement!"
It was Li Yunlong who spoke; he stood up, very angry.
That feeling made me want to start a war immediately.
Several other deans then expressed their opinions, but they were basically similar to Li Yunlong's.
It is indeed difficult to defend against eight Settlements attacking one of his Settlements simultaneously, especially given that the Great Xia itself is not strong.
"Cough cough."
"Lin Ye, you're a war genius, tell me your thoughts."
"You are now the core of my Great Xia, and all Great Xia organizations can obey your command," Long Yuan said, clearing his throat.
