Operation of the District, New Mission

At the same time.

Gao Linzhi hadn't paid attention to the Blue Star world for a long time.

We've now entered a bizarre survival atmosphere.

In cities large and small, ranging from a hundred or so to just one or two, strange creatures have invaded wherever there is a dense population.

The only good news is that basic services such as water, electricity, food, medical care, and transportation have not been interrupted.

This signifies that the world has not yet fully entered the apocalyptic era.

Of course, what the people didn't know was that this was because the Blue Star universe was vast enough, and the total sample size of the strange creatures from the Skyfall World was too small.

Just like dumping a ton of industrial wastewater into the ocean, it can only pollute a small area temporarily. Over time, the ocean's enormous self-cleaning capacity will metabolize it.

Of course, too many are not good.

The internet is always buzzing with activity.

"Fruit City is trapped! Any skilled players out there to rescue it? Reward: 10 Strange Crystals."

"I request a ticket to the Safe Zone; I can exchange it for 50% of the family company's shares."

"Buy a player qualification poster, bring your price."

"The person upstairs is overthinking it."

"There's no way anyone would sell them. Buying a ticket to the Safe Zone is a more reliable option, but ordinary properties are being sold off cheaply right now because it's unsafe."

"Yes, who would pay a high price for a house in an earthquake-prone area? And it's inevitable that such an event will occur."

Gao Linzhi opened his eyes, glanced at the online news, and shook his head.

It seems it's time to give them a little Earth-shattering experience.

Subsequently, Gao Linzhi shifted his focus to the Earth world, preparing to find some pawns to infiltrate the Blue Star world in the form of the Fourth Catastrophe.

The District 42 of the God's Domain is one of the districts where the story is progressing relatively quickly.

Players in this region are primarily from the Ying Kingdom, exhibiting a highly aggressive style, a passion for exploring new maps, and a strong sense of offense.

They are a maritime culture, fond of exploration, and unafraid of death; after all, they are mediocre sailors, so it doesn't matter how many die.

Currently, they belong to one of the western regions in the God's Domain Game.

At this moment, the major Western guilds in Shuangyue Town, District 42, have jointly occupied a stronghold, using it as a temporary command center for the upcoming city battle.

This place has gathered guild representatives, totaling over a thousand members from all branches of the line. Guild leaders are all together, making pre-battle preparations for the upcoming Warcraft siege.

The God's Domain Game was well-received by Westerners as soon as it was released.

Firstly, there's not much of a cultural barrier; secondly, it's a genuine game; and thirdly, it's incredibly mysterious.

Aliens, realistic gameplay, body enhancement, real-world feedback, making money while lying down—how could these elements possibly fail?

Gao Linzhi couldn't figure out why Westerners didn't play it.

It's worth noting that Westerners are more enthusiastic about playing games, and many new ways to play originated from Western inventions.

They work short hours and enjoy high benefits, especially those from the Nordic countries.

There's plenty of time to play games.

Meanwhile, in District 42, the exclusive forum was in an uproar.

"Our region is finally going to launch its Warcraft siege!"

"These past few days, I've seen the experience points of those players in the District 3 increase by an absurd amount."

"With the Miracle Guild and the Temple of Light from District 42 leading the way, this mission will definitely be completed successfully."

"FUCK, is the person upstairs a shill for some guild?"

"The alliance between the Archangel Guild and the Wall of Guardians Guild is the strongest force in this region."

"The Papal Guardians Alliance are the strongest!"

"It doesn't matter which guild leads us, as long as they can bring us victory! Although our guild is small, we will absolutely obey orders and follow commands without question!"

"They've already started recruiting players to build fortifications, and they've even contacted the Dragon Diagram Guild, a major player in the Third War Zone at the time, requesting experience points."

"With their experience in dealing with Warcraft, our advance should be much easier."

"I heard that some people in the Third War Zone have already tamed pets, we need to level up faster too."

"I want a dire wolf as a companion, how impressive!"

"I want an elf as a ranged combat unit."

"You want to fight from a distance? You're just lusting after her body, you're despicable!"

"Let's talk about pets after the siege is over."

"The Archangel Guild is urgently recruiting Rogue Players to form the Northern Gate Defense Legion! Generous rewards and excellent benefits await. Interested parties please contact us privately for details!"

"This event will cost 600 euros!"

"The Miracle Guild has issued a call to all EU players, inviting you to join the Southern Defense Force across regions."

"Faced with an impending formidable enemy, only by uniting as one can we achieve victory; we must avoid acting rashly on our own!"

"Unity, unity, and more unity!"

"Only by successfully completing this collective action can all participants reap the greatest rewards."

"The reason why District 42 ranks among the top in the overall server-wide progress is inseparable from the generally high quality of the players in the entire district."

"In contrast, EU players, due to their higher living standards, are generally more discerning, and even those who spend money on in-game purchases are less likely to be overly extravagant."

"Yes, in order to cope with this Warcraft siege, everyone should do their best to complete the tasks assigned to them."

In the temporary command post in Shuangyue Town, an administrator of the Temple of Light proposed. "Our guild members on the eastern battlefield are mainly ranged classes, and we have too few melee classes that can withstand attacks. We hope that we can allocate a Physical Defense team composed of Shield Guard players to provide support."

"Our own physical front-line troops are also severely insufficient, and we can only compensate by relying on terrain advantages," the head of the northern defense zone responded. "We have already deployed the Shield Guard to the front line, and everyone must overcome the current difficulties."

"The most important thing right now is to help all players level up as quickly as possible, especially those who are stuck around level 10. They must learn new skills as soon as possible."

"Based on the experience of District 3, the Priest's group healing and the Shield Guard's Dragon Claw Technique are both indispensable abilities in this battle."

"All members of the guild who are below level 10 must level up by tonight. This is a strict order."

"For other lower-level players, we should also try our best to encourage them to improve, but be careful with our attitude to avoid causing resentment."

"Don't worry, most of the players in District 42 are united."

"Even if we don't urge them, they will upgrade on their own."

"Yes, we're not like the selfish Eastern players who only think about leveling up and being lone wolves."

"Many people have voluntarily participated in the construction of numerous defensive fortifications for this event."

"According to intelligence provided by the District 3, the attack will begin in the early hours of that day after the preliminary tasks are completed."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, our battle will begin in the early hours of tonight."

"Just in case, everyone should gather on the city wall two hours in advance to prepare."

"Agree."

"Pass."

"Agreed."

That night, among all the servers in the God's Domain, the District 42 became the focus of attention.

Previously, the District 3 was not informed of the specific time of the battle in advance, causing many players in this region to miss the event.

But this time it was completely different—this was a well-prepared, all-out battle to defend the city.

Some people even get up in the middle of the night specifically to watch live broadcasts of the battle.

Some were gathering intelligence to prepare for the siege of their own district;

Some simply wanted to experience the vibrant atmosphere of this large-scale online battle.

This event has become a feast for various live streaming rooms and content creators.

Those livestreaming players tried every possible way to broadcast their content.

Since video broadcasting was not possible, text broadcasting was used combined with AI drawing.

"What a pity, it would be awesome if this game supported live streaming."

"Yes, we gave suggestions to the planners, and we requested a live broadcast."

"Yeah, at worst we can just give them a share."

Many players from other regions, unable to enter region 42 to watch the match, flocked to the offline live stream room.

In a short time, many live streams saw over a million real viewers online.

This is not fake data like before, but real data.

A system announcement then appeared. "Region 42 Announcement: In one hour, a wave of Warcraft will launch an attack on Shuangyue Town."

"This siege battle requires players to hold Shuangyue Town and ensure the city gates are not breached during three waves of Warcraft attacks (each wave lasts five hours)."

"The event countdown has now begun..."

"Reward for successful defense: All players in all District 42 receive a double experience boost for 72 hours (not valid within the instance)."

"Penalty for failed defense: Shuangyue Town will be completely destroyed, and all players in District 42 will be disqualified from accepting quests in that town;"

"All players will be reclassified as refugees until a new town is discovered."

"During the event, defeating Warcraft will grant a large amount of experience points and credits."

"After successfully defending the city, additional rewards will be distributed based on the players' individual score rankings."

Everyone was shocked when they saw the punishment.

"So maps can actually change!"

"Yes, this is indeed a realistic simulation. If you can't defend it, the starting village will naturally disappear."

"This is terrible, we can't just trigger it like this."

The battle began precisely at midnight.

This time, players across the server were already on high alert, and there were even professional engineering experts and trap masters assisting in the construction of frontline defense facilities.

It can be said that District 42 devoted all its resources to this siege.

Moreover, this also involves the upper echelons of the organization.

As midnight quietly passed, the Warcraft army appeared on the horizon of the players' sight.

"As planned, prepare to activate the defensive equipment! Archers and scouts, concentrate your attacks on Canxue targets!"

The overall commander of this battle, Archangel Migalie, issued the order.

Choosing this name is similar to how people from the East name themselves "Donghuang Taiyi" (Eastern Emperor Taiyi).

A large number of players acted according to plan.

Having made ample preparations before the battle, no one is now sparing any resources.

The front-line warriors charged forward against the Warcraft vanguard, halting its advance while quickly seizing the dying monsters for their teammates in the rear to eliminate with concentrated fire.

Due to the limited number of purely front-line classes, some Heavenly Strategist with outstanding defensive abilities have also joined the front-line ranks.

They ensure their own safety with their invincible skills, forming a wall of flesh and blood together with other professions such as Shield Guard.

To improve their survivability, the Priest positioned in the back row mostly equipped themselves with gear that increased their health, fighting side-by-side with the front row.

This formation did indeed greatly slow down the Warcraft's advance, but the casualty rate on our side remained high.

Fortunately, all the players were united in their hatred of the enemy, and no one retreated.

After three hours, the first wave of Warcraft was completely wiped out.

The players erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and viewers from other sections of the forum also offered words of admiration—the efforts of everyone were evident.

Of course, not everyone is happy.

"Damn, they actually managed to hold out?"

"What about the big shots in our district?"

"This is rubbish; there aren't many powerful organizations leading this kind of thing right now."

"Isn't this a scam?"

"Can't we trigger this mission?"

"It's a ghost town!"

"Hurry up and run to the next area!"

"Everyone is on one big map, it's not like we can't move between regions."

"That's right, I'm going to District Three too."

"Fool, there are more people than monsters in Zone 3. Even a ghost zone is fine, you can enjoy dungeons and world bosses all to yourself."

After the ten-minute countdown ended, the second wave of the siege began.

The Defensive Guard war chariots jointly manufactured by several major guilds in District 42 drove into the battlefield.

Players with weaker defenses have their survivability more than doubled once they enter the vehicle, greatly ensuring the survival rate of those in the back row.

With solid support from the rear, the pressure on the front lines was significantly reduced.

Some archers also boarded the chariots to attack; their individual damage output was stronger, and their close-range attacks caused considerable damage.

Thanks to the relentless and selfless defense of all players, the second wave of Warcraft attacks was repelled three hours later.

Players across the server cheered with excitement, but the command team behind the scenes felt the situation was not so optimistic.

"The first two rounds of attack lasted for more than three hours each, which is longer than the third front. It seems that our firepower is still inferior."

"This is unavoidable, after all, we don't have a top-tier figure like 'Chongxing' here to oversee things," several high-ranking officials said in unison.

"To have fought this far is already the result of giving it your all."

"It seems that we will have to resort to the last resort for the third wave of beast tide."

"Tell them to prepare."

"Now that we've come this far, we absolutely cannot give up halfway."

"Their contributions will be remembered and compensated by all participating guilds and the Ying Kingdom government."

"Clear."

"We were already prepared for this, please rest assured."

The third wave of Warcraft arrived as expected.

As reported by intelligence from the Third War Zone, Silver Tier boss monsters have appeared in all four directions.

The command issued the following instructions to each participant, "Clear out as many ordinary monsters as possible, avoid the boss's skill range, and do not approach them unnecessarily."

At this moment, a group of players dressed in official Ying Kingdom uniforms quietly appeared around each Silver Leader.

They were a secret squad belonging to the government. For this battle to defend the city, they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to accumulate spoils in the early stages, simply because they needed to continuously chant after taking a special potion and were unable to move.

"Neural Catalysis Elixir: Upon ingestion, Mana will surge rapidly and erratically, triggering violent energy fluctuations."

"The larger the dosage, the stronger the shockwave."

(This medication should only be taken once every 30 minutes)

This is actually a suicide truck convoy...

This prescription originated from a mysterious alchemy quest that a player encountered during an adventure, and was the reward for completing it.

The principle behind it is to allow unstable energy particles to rapidly accumulate in the user's body, which will immediately trigger an explosion and generate a strong shockwave once action is taken.

This was the final measure reserved by the 42nd Front Command Headquarters: using people as carriers to create continuous self-destructive attacks, forcibly keeping the Silver Leader hundreds of meters away from the city gate.

This allowed them to drag out the third wave of attacks until the time limit expired, a full five hours.

This strategy was originally expected to be used in the middle of the third wave of the offensive, but the number of Warcraft has far exceeded expectations, so it has to be activated ahead of schedule.

This group of official players is almost entirely composed of magic-based classes, primarily mages and Priest.
