Reinforcements Arrive from All Sides, Each Showing Their Skills / The Girls Run Amok

"Haha, everyone's so strong! But let's do our best this time too! Bina! I'm counting on you!" Silica said, stroking the white-feathered dragon beside her.

"Bee~! Roar! Roar!" The little white dragon nodded, then suddenly enlarged its body, transforming into a gigantic four-clawed flying dragon tens of meters in size. It carried Silica into the sky, and a storm of energy gathered in its mouth transformed into a white energy beam that spewed down into the ground.

--Destructive Explosive Gale Bullet!!!

Silica transformed into the White Saintess of the Ancient Egypt temple, summoning the most powerful dragon possessed by the Pharaoh to punish the enemies on the ground.

The monsters on the ground, as if they had encountered their nemesis, were wiped out one by one by the white light!

Even so, it still couldn't stop the penguin army's charge. Hundreds died, but hundreds more were sent to their aid.

"Whoa~! This is getting a little bad. This is never going to end." Lizbeth raised her giant hammer high, summoning lightning that struck the horde of beasts, turning the alien monsters into charred remains.

"Hahaha!!! One hundred people aren't enough, then five hundred! If five hundred aren't enough, then a thousand! They only have a few people over there! We have an absolute numerical advantage! There's no way we can lose!" the game department manager shouted with a loud laugh.

Just then! A shout rang out from the area surrounding Avalon Island, like ten thousand horses galloping, like a herd of animals migrating to distant places to escape the winter.

Shirou was overjoyed and said, "They've finally arrived!"

Asuna and the other girls all smiled. While Shirou was dueling with his opponent, they weren't idle either; they were all contacting their friends in the game, asking them to come and Support.

Now! All the free agents willing to help fight against Penguin Company have come here!

"Roara..."

"Alalalalalala!!!"

Tens of thousands, no, tens of thousands of players rushed towards this side. Countless figures swarmed over the small hill and charged in this direction.

Dark clouds hissed across the sky, tearing through lightning, and the stench of blood permeated the ruins, which had been silent for a moment but then erupted into chaos. The wails and flashes of swords that had just faded away burst forth again in the wind, the piled-up carcasses were gruesome and terrifying, and the heavy atmosphere was almost suffocating. At this moment, the two armies were tangled together in the charge, in complete chaos. People kept falling, and it was already a tragic and devastating scene of bloodshed.

The officers of the Penguin Legion, facing off in battle, skillfully commanded their black and white legions to form a battle formation against the enemy. Meanwhile, the free players charging towards them were of varying skill levels and many of them were killed in an instant.

However, most members of the Penguin Legion work for companies, their equipment is mass-produced, and their individual strength is often inferior to that of free players.

A white-clad man, a renowned scholar from ancient China, raised a wine jug, swallowed the strong liquor, and then smashed it on the ground. Instantly, the rich, fragrant aroma of the wine filled the air. A hint of intoxication lingered in the man's eyes, but his heart was filled with heroic ambition. He laughed heartily, raised his long sleeves, and recited a poem:

"Zhao guest wears a silk tassel, Wu hook shines like frost and snow."

A silver saddle shines on a white horse, swift as a shooting star.

He can kill one person in ten steps, and leave no trace for a thousand miles.

He accomplished his task and departed, concealing his identity and name.

The man in white held a long sword in his hand. With each line of poetry he recited, starlight flashed, and the sword fell like a shooting star, instantly sending several heads flying.

Another sheriff, dressed as a Western cowboy and adorned with chains of gold ammunition, wielded a Gatling gun and unleashed a barrage of fire at the Penguin Army. He then continuously switched weapons and activated his skills, unleashing a barrage of grenades and hand grenades at the opposing side.

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, a deafening explosion ensued. Bricks, dirt, tiles, and even human remains flew through the air, accompanied by cries, shouts, and calls for help. To onlookers, the world appeared to consist of only two colors: a gray-black splattering everywhere and striking bright red interspersed within it.

On one side was a well-trained and organized legion, and on the other side were free players with stronger individual skills. For a time, they fought fiercely and were evenly matched. The members of the Penguin Legion were constantly being worn down, killed, and turned into a pile of gold coins before leaving the battlefield.

The battle outside was incredibly fierce, with shouts from thousands upon thousands. Even Boss Ma, who had entered Avalon Island, was startled. He quickly opened his communication device and contacted the game department manager, asking:

"What happened?"

"Boss! There are too many people on the free-to-play side! At least tens of thousands of players are rushing towards us, and there are still many casual players who haven't logged in yet. More people may be coming later," the game department manager said, sweating profusely.

"Replenish troops! Hire more people! Spend money! Whatever methods you have, stop all the people outside!" Boss Ma said decisively.

"Yes! We will definitely hold on to the death!" the game department manager replied. With that, everything became much easier.

The officers of the Penguin Army eagerly awaited their arrival. The game department manager nodded to everyone and said, "The boss has given the order: defend Avalon Island at all costs!"

The general nodded, then turned to the officers of each unit to begin a combat conference. "What we need to do now is replenish our manpower and withstand the enemy's attack."

"Then let those professional mercenaries go in!" one of the staff officers suggested.

"But they might raise the price," the political commissar said worriedly.

"It's alright, just meet their requirements!" the game department manager said.

"Alright, let's proceed according to this plan and execute it immediately!" The Penguin Army's supreme commander finally declared.

Chapter 681 Aid from All Directions, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities

The free players were constantly losing players, while new players were joining. Everyone was eager to recruit and expand their ranks.

"Quickly log in! This is an emergency! Come to the new Avalon Island, it's the glowing spot when you open the map."

"Brother, skip work! Work is so boring, come online and play games, come to Avalon Island! Today we'll slaughter the penguins and prove our path to immortality. From now on, any boss who doesn't use their brain will be wiped out!"

"Dude, the 2TB external hard drive is full. It's just waiting for you to come to Avalon Island to help out before I send it over."

The Penguin Army is pouring money into replenishing its forces. To boost combat effectiveness, the soldiers are eating recovery potions and buff foods like candy. The logistics department is also spending hundreds of millions of dollars to trade war supplies on the market.

"Listen up, everyone! If you have friends, invite them to help. You'll get 100 for each person you bring in, and extra pay for each person you hire. We'll provide all the equipment you need. As long as we hold this place, the company won't treat you unfairly."

"One hundred per person? Okay, I have more than ten friends."

"A fool wouldn't take advantage of such a good deal! I'll call for help too."

New event announcements have also popped up in various games under Penguin Company. Oasis players who have reached a certain level can log in to the game, join the Penguin Legion, and help defend this battle to receive generous in-game rewards. This has attracted a large number of casual players to join.

"Unbelievable! Play Oasis for just one hour and get a permanent golden AK47?! I have to grab it now! I won't have to pick up guns in the game anymore! Awesome!"

"Really? You can get a limited-edition skin just by playing Oasis for an hour? It'll be gone after today, and it even has hidden attributes? The feel is top-notch, Oasis, here I come! From today onwards, I'll never be called a kid again?"

"What?! Play Oasis for just one hour and get a special SSR character! And a cute girl at that! What's the big deal? Oasis, here I come!"

"Penguin Company is really generous, I'm impressed! Here we go! Oasis World!"

With the addition of more players and skilled mercenaries, the Penguin Legion regained its advantage. Commanded by officers, the Penguin Legion targeted weaker players. As for the skilled free-to-play players, their mercenaries handled the rest.

In the middle of the battlefield, a helmeted figure wearing a level 3 helmet lay prone on the ground, aiming his automatic rifle at the players, reaping their heads one by one. He muttered, "I'm doing this on a mission. Although I sympathize with your plight, but..."

"No buts!" At that moment, a girl's soft voice rang out.

It turned out to be Shino. She had found this hiding spot by following the sniper's keen sense of terrain, but it had already been taken by someone else. However, this was a good opportunity to take out a formidable enemy.

She was now dressed in a strikingly cool crimson combat outfit, with high heels tied with red ribbons from her calves to her ankles. In her hand she held a magnificent longbow with gold and white stripes and outstretched wings. A silver halo floated behind her, making her appear as holy as a goddess and as wild as God of War.

The halo behind Shino carried her into the air, instantly teleporting her behind the helmet and launching a fatal attack! She used the full moon as an arrow, charging straight towards the level three helmet.

"That's it... Well, whatever..." The helmeted man, his level three helmet pierced, smiled nonchalantly before dying, turning into a pile of gold coins that scattered on the ground.

Steel Helmet climbed out of the special gaming pod used for live streaming, walked out of the game room, and sat down on a sofa in the lobby of Penguin Company. He said to his friend, "I lost, but it's okay. At least I didn't have to fight this battle against my will."

"Luckily, all I know how to do is drive, not fight." Zhou Jiegun shrugged at his friend while drinking bubble tea in the lobby, looking completely detached. After all, he had received favors from Penguin Company, but he was actually dissatisfied with Penguin Company's actions. Now he was happy to stay out of it and not take sides.

Players who truly love the Oasis World and its free atmosphere, even those who are employees of Tencent, actually oppose Tencent's forced entry into the Oasis, but they have no choice due to the need for survival. However, there are also many people in the game who don't care about this, such as mercenaries who prioritize profit and will do anything as long as the price is right.

"Hahahaha!!!! I'm here! Watch me roll through this!" Joe the Undying, driving a four-meter-tall, violently modified car with flames spewing from its body, charged into the crowd.

"Whoa!!!" Many players were unable to dodge in time, or were burned by the flames and turned into a pile of gold coins.

At that moment, Kiriko, wielding Excalibur, rushed forward and stood in front of Joe the Undying's wagon.

"Hahaha!!! Kiriko! I've got your head!" Joe the Undying roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot, and floored the accelerator, charging straight towards the girl.

This gigantic steel beast looked as if it would crush the girl's slender body into flattened, mangled flesh.

"Hmph, I've finally managed to see Shirou, how could I let you weaklings get in my way?" Kiriko's eyes turned gold, seemingly influenced by the possessed Servant, and she gripped the black holy sword! She swung it at the giant modified vehicle charging towards her.

A black beam of light shot towards that direction, engulfing Joe the Undying's modified vehicle.

"Waaaaah! You bastard! Kiriko, you woman!" Joe the Undying let out a scream and turned into a pile of gold coins within the black pillar of light.

A massive black pillar of light shot into the sky outside Avalon Island, stretching from the ground all the way up into the clouds, with no end in sight.

"Hmph, too much talk from you weaklings." Kiriko said coldly, a flash of gold in her eyes before they returned to black, seemingly bewildered by her own transformation. However, she quickly rallied, raised her holy sword, and charged towards the Penguin Legion's enemy forces.

"Well! Anyway, as long as I hold this sword, I don't think I'll lose! Charge!" Kiriko slashed at one enemy after another.

Among the mercenaries is the ruthless king of assassins, who appears and disappears like a ghost. His specialty is backstabbing players from hiding, a single move that can be fatal or a decisive blow.

However, when she entered a new location, a magic circle suddenly appeared underground, causing her to feel drowsy and uncontrollably close her eyes, falling into a state of sleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a mage wearing glasses. She immediately knew something was wrong. Looking down, she saw that she was surrounded by dozens of high-damage magic arrays, ready to be activated.

The assassin was about to use his teleport skill to escape.

The opponent immediately unleashed a Spirit Lock Imprisonment spell, interrupting the assassin's skill and pinning her to the spot. Then, a Cursed Thorn wrapped around the assassin, and dozens of magic arrays were activated simultaneously.

"Damn it! Remember this! You scheming bespectacled guy!" the assassin shouted, glaring fiercely at the man.

"See you then!" The man simply smiled and pushed up his glasses, a glint of light flashing on the lenses.

There is also the king of duels in the arena, a super master who has been in the top ten of the PK rankings for many years.

A nimble figure wielded the Thousand Machine Umbrella, weaving freely through the crowd, and arrived in front of the King of Duels. A knee strike launched him into the air, and then the Thousand Machine Umbrella instantly transformed into a Gatling gun, raising it upwards, and the heavy-fire projectiles sent the King of Duels flying into the air.

Then Ye Zhi Qiu leaped high into the air, and the Thousand Machine Umbrella transformed into a pair of daggers, spinning and slicing through the air.

Whenever the King of Duels is about to fall from the sky, Ye Zhi Qiu activates a new skill, kicking him back into the air and continuously whittling down his health.

"Damn it! Damn it!!!" The King of Duels was attacked and killed before he even landed, turning into a pile of gold coins in his resentment.

"If you want to play PvP, you can come find me anytime." Ye Zhi Qiu took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and casually said while exhaling a cloud of smoke.

Chapter 682 The Girls' Rampage

With the help of top-tier free-to-play players like Cheng Hui and Ye Zhi Qiu, the pressure from the mercenaries was greatly reduced.

"Thank you, both of you," Shirou, sending a message of thanks to the two.

"Sure thing. We also need your help with something Record of Lodoss War later." Cheng Hui pushed up her glasses, revealing a smile that suggested everything was planned out, and readily agreed.

"It's nothing. This is just so I can play the game better. The Oasis World doesn't need those smoky and chaotic things. But you're a Grandmaster Crafting God, so could you take a look at the Thousand Machine Umbrella for me sometime and see if it can still be upgraded?" said Ye Zhi Qiu.

"Of course! As long as we get through this difficult time, I'll do everything I can to help you with anything you need!" Shirou readily agreed.

Meanwhile, Silica, transformed into a dragon Saintess, sat on the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon variant with white wings that Bina had evolved from. She took out a flute and began to play, and there seemed to be some strange energy fluctuations emanating from it. Wherever the music reached, the alien beast pets of the penguin army stopped moving and lay quietly on the ground like kittens.

Shino picked up a longbow, powered by the Moon Goddess, which emitted a white light flashing with powerful energy. However, for some reason, a teddy bear dressed in animal skin and holding a wooden stick was hanging beside her, its cunning eyes watching the glamorous female players in the Oasis World.

Shino glanced at the teddy bear, feeling inexplicably annoyed. The image of Shirou, who seemed to get along well with every girl, also surfaced in her mind. Filled with resentment, she grabbed the teddy bear by the head and threw it directly into the mecha shield soldiers guarding the Penguin Group's position.

"Waaaaaah!!! No~ no, don't do this~!" the teddy bear screamed in agony.

With a deafening roar, the teddy bear unleashed an unprecedentedly massive explosion, blasting a circular breach in the array of mech shield soldiers. Hundreds of mech shield soldiers, along with their pilots and mechs, vanished in the blast.

After the explosion, the teddy bear flew into the sky and formed several stars in the Orion in the Milky Way.

"Damn it! This is never going to end! There are so many people in China playing Tencent games! And a bunch of them are even cursing when they lose?" Lizbeth had just used God of Thunder's hammer to smash a few people away, but she didn't expect to hit a hornet's nest instead.

Whether the opponent was truly an immature elementary school student or a spoiled brat who would be killed if they dared to enter the fray, the girl couldn't tell. So she launched into a tirade of insults. Not only did she verbally curse, but she also typed out the insults using a text-to-speech function. For the thirty seconds that followed, the entire battlefield was filled with all sorts of chilling curses, making the pink-haired girl's scalp tingle and making her hesitant to even attempt to kill them.

How could the elementary school kids on the other side not be angry if they got killed as soon as they entered the game? They felt like the whole world was against them. They were promised a free skin after playing for an hour, but they got killed as soon as they entered. Oasis World is indeed a trash game! Penguin is more suitable for them!

Fortunately, Oasis World also has a complete blocking function, which can block all kinds of loudspeakers, including small and large ones, as well as advertisements.

Lizbeth raised her Thunder Hammer and swung it down once more at the elementary school students who had just joined the battle.

However, newcomers continued to pour into the battlefield. Lizbeth's hand ached from swinging her hammer, but she still couldn't stop the new members of the Penguin Group from entering. Penguin truly lived up to its reputation as the world's second-largest game company, possessing a massive user base; it was practically a Great Emperor on the internet.

"Hmph! If we fail, I'm definitely fired this time! There's no other way, I've gone all out! Get out here! It's time to get to work, Optimus Prime, Decepticon, move out!" The game department manager gritted his teeth and unleashed his trump card. A bunch of various car models appeared in his hand, which he threw onto the battlefield. The car models enlarged as they landed, transforming into real cars.

"Kill everyone who's against the Penguin Army! Especially Emiya and Asuna!" the game manager ordered.

Upon receiving the order, the cars flashed their lights and made a simultaneous noise.

"Autobot! Transform!"

Boom!

A large, brightly colored truck, predominantly red with blue accents, transformed into a giant robot the moment it landed.

"Enemy commander spotted!" Another pickup truck, its lights flashing, sped up and rammed directly into Asuna.

"I'll help!" At that moment, the bright yellow Bumblebee sports car leaped up from the hillside and swooped down towards Asuna from the other side.

Asuna noticed the pickup truck, but it was too late to dodge Bumblebee. Fortunately, Shirou reacted quickly, Projection Heracles' Shot: Hundred Heads, and with the power boost from the Noble Phantasm, he swung his huge stone axe and smashed Bumblebee away.

"Thanks, Shirou! I'm so glad you protected me, but..." Asuna, who had rolled on the ground to avoid the pickup truck, stood up, ran to Shirou's side, and leaned affectionately against Shirou back, saying with a smile.

"Ah, be careful." Shirou shuddered. At this moment, Asuna always reminded Shirou of a certain maternal Berserker. He could only smile and agree.

The yellow sports car that was thrown out instantly transformed into a robot, holding an energy pistol and aiming it at Asuna before pulling the trigger. Calling it a pistol for a robot's size was akin to calling it a cannon; the 0.5-meter caliber fired an energy cannon, forming a high-speed moving sphere of light that slammed into Shirou.

"Drink it! With me here, none of you will get a chance!!!"

At that moment, Lizbeth rushed forward, raising a hammer crackling with lightning, and slammed it back at the energy ball.

Lizbeth clenched her fist secretly; another point of Shirou's favorability she had accumulated had been added. Her cool performance would definitely earn her more points, and if things continued like this, perhaps one day she could defeat Asuna and Kiriko and become the heroine!

At this moment, all the Decepticon's fighting machines arrived. Megatron transformed into a giant pistol and fired a shot at Lizbeth. As a terrifying full-power attack from a Transformer, if it hit, even a girl who had obtained the power of a Heroic Servant might be killed on the spot and forced to leave the battlefield.
