Tens of Thousands Clash, One Man Steals the Spotlight

"No matter how strong it is, it's just a guild. How can it compare to the overwhelming numbers of several combined? If you ask me, the Undersea Dragon Palace is actually simpler. Whoever finds it first will have the upper hand!"

"That lone player really struck gold this time. They've been holding the city for half an hour, and this much free experience isn't enough? It's wise to call it a day."

"Yeah, hurry up and sell the coordinates, then you'll be financially free!"

Clearly, these people were fantasizing about how many steamed buns the emperor should eat.

Little did they know that with the help Gao Linzhi personally provided, Zhang Mingzhen had long since stopped caring about money.

"But I'm really curious, how exactly did he manage to traverse the high-level jungle areas along the way?"

"Our guild's main force has just set off for the seaside, and the monsters along the way are already level 80."

"Level 80! That's impressive... How did he get past that? I'm just as curious."

"Let's wait and see what happens in the next two cities."

Despite being one of the top-ranking regions in terms of combat strength, 19th District was unlucky this time. They were teleported to an overly remote area, preventing them from getting close to any city immediately.

Once a city is captured, it has a significant advantage in defense.

Several major alliances within their region attempted to attack Fragrant Cloud City, but all ended in failure.

In fact, their willingness to attack shows that the Legion Guild's ability to control and deter others has greatly decreased.

In peacetime, who would dare to provoke those above?

They had to admit that the Legion Guild's garrison was indeed several levels stronger, and with their defensive advantage, continuing to engage would only be a waste of time.

After discussion, the group decided to move on to other goals.

Based on their current location, they must choose between "Tomb City" and "Undersea Dragon Palace".

If you choose "Tomb City", you can quickly arrive and engage in battle with the 12th District alliances stationed there.

As neighboring regions, the 12th District knew that the other's strength was not to be underestimated.

Another option is to embark on a long journey to the Undersea Dragon Palace.

The place is almost undefended, making it extremely easy to capture. However, the journey to the destination is anything but easy, and the geographical location suggests that the monsters along the way must be incredibly powerful.

"Let's go to the Undersea Dragon Palace instead."

"It's always easier to fight NPC monsters than to fight people."

"I just received news that the alliance between 66th District and 22nd District is also moving towards Tomb City. Their plans are probably the same as ours."

"If we also get involved in that battlefield, the situation will only become more chaotic."

"The battle of Fragrant Cloud City just now has already consumed a lot of Temporary Resurrection Arrays, so we should conserve them," suggested "Raphael" from 19th District.

As the leading region in the Mai Kingdom server, the strength of 19th District is well-known.

Before entering the Territory War, they were initially very confident because they, like other formal institutions, possessed strong organizational capabilities and a high level of professionalism.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a mastermind behind them to give them a cheat code.

After all, the reputation of the Mai Kingdom has always been like that.

Gao Linzhi naturally viewed things relatively fairly, believing that Mai Kingdom was neither as bad nor as good as it seemed, and was a battlefield suitable for self-disciplined individuals to fight for.

But he was too lazy to give the Mai Kingdom special treatment, since he was still closer to his fellow speakers.

Although those who agree with you are often the biggest enemies.

Therefore, after several battles, they realized that a war involving tens of thousands of people not only requires collective combat strength, but also relies on reasonable strategic planning and tacit cooperation.

But these are not the key issues. The bigger key issue is how many people are cheating or super-powerful.

In reality, one person taking down a hundred people requires advanced weaponry.

In games, you have to rely on cheating.

In contrast, they have very few cheaters; although they are powerful, their strength is relatively strong within the system's set limits.

However, the opposing Legion Guild had many members who were far more powerful than the system settings allowed.

Even though they are of the same level, with the same equipment and skills, the opponent's strength is several times greater.

Is there any justice in this world?

Are there any more laws or regulations?

Therefore, in this respect, they were indeed inferior to the Legion Guild and had to give up their first choice, Fragrant Cloud City.

"It's infuriating! We're the same level and have the same equipment, but I still can't beat them. This game is unfair!" a Mai Kingdom said angrily.

"It's called a game, but it's actually reality. Aren't we integrating into reality? Is being born in the Mai Kingdom better than being born anywhere else? People from other places complain about unfair births," another Mai Kingdom offered a more objective consolation.

"That's true."

Everyone knows that being born in the Mai Kingdom is better than being born in Dragon Han.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why so many upper-class people choose to have their babies in the Mai Kingdom...

People only refrain from lying when it comes to children; only someone with a mental problem would deliberately choose the wrong answer on such matters.

Even if they can't take Fragrant Cloud City, they still need to have a stronghold of their own.

Once a city is successfully captured, not only is the defensive pressure reduced, but everyone can also continuously gain experience rewards, which is somewhat comforting.

The Mai Kingdom need to have a city in the God's Domain Game.

What they didn't know was that the mastermind they encountered was relatively impartial and had transcended the role of a low-level wish-fulfillment novel character.

At least Gao Linzhi didn't think about eliminating this or that, because he knew that people can only rely on themselves.

Even if you wipe them out, what good will it do?

If you don't become strong and improve yourself, then a second or third opponent will come to bully you.

"I also agree with going to the Undersea Dragon Palace."

"Several guilds have already headed to Orc City, but no large teams have arrived at the Undersea Dragon Palace yet due to its dangerous location."

"If we set off now, we might be able to gain the upper hand."

"Alright, everyone gather together and don't get separated in the jungle!"

"Shiyade," who was in charge of the 19th District's temporary command, ultimately decided to make the Undersea Dragon Palace the next target for attack.

Special cities like the Undersea Dragon Palace will have their approximate location revealed on the map after they are captured.

However, since there are no detailed coordinates, we still need to figure it out ourselves.

From the very beginning, Zhang Mingzhen never expected to be able to keep the secret for long.

He originally planned to go ashore and wipe out the Wildsea Candle Dragon after receiving news, but he did not expect that the progress of the major guilds would be much slower than expected.

What exactly is holding them back? Could it be the wilderness along the way?

This inference is not without basis.

Looking at the current level rankings, the top players are all below level 70. How can they possibly traverse wilderness areas that are up to level 80?

Moreover, they will be leading a team of tens of thousands of people on this journey.

With such a large team, the number of wild monsters it attracted naturally increased as well.

It's important to understand that they solved the problem of carrying supplies by taking advantage of their player status.

Otherwise, logistics alone could drag many teams down.

For a team like the 19th District, which came from a high-intensity region, the hardships and dangers they encountered along the way are unimaginable.

"Finally, we can see the coast!"

"Order the rear troops to catch up quickly and not fall behind! The coast is in sight, Undersea Dragon Palace City is just around the corner!"

"Shiyade" was in the marching formation, issuing commands loudly through the system channel.

He also has a professional advisory team.

The staff officers distributed the instructions to individual units, and they immediately began execution.

An attack by tens of thousands of people will inevitably descend into chaos if it is not organized in a troop formation.

After all, this is war, not running a company, and certainly not playing house.

Although they're called games, they're all about life and death.

Although the journey was slower than he had anticipated, it was not entirely without its benefits.

In their view, if their journey was already so difficult, wouldn't the speed of other guilds' advance be greatly hampered once they successfully occupied the Undersea Dragon Palace?

Advantages and disadvantages always go hand in hand.

Thinking of this, everyone felt that enduring more hardship was bearable.

After all, the dawn is breaking, and a period of ease is just around the corner.

But crises always strike unexpectedly.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of dark demonic energy surged forth.

The murloc monsters that were being farmed immediately Frenzy upon encountering them, clearly indicating that they had been corrupted.

Immediately, some players in the front row were also corrupted by the demonic energy and subsequently lost their minds!

Everyone immediately panicked.

Because they knew that this demonic energy wasn't just a negative effect in the game; it could affect reality!

And those Priests who help those who have been contaminated will also suffer from the contamination.

Suddenly, the entire team was plunged into a quagmire of hardship!

"Maintain formation, do not panic! Those with crowd control removal skills, immediately use your Super Armor to save yourselves; the rest, await Priest support."

"Shield Guard, hold your defensive positions! The rest of you, focus your attacks on the corrupted murloc monsters!"

After receiving the message from the Wildsea Candle Dragon, Zhang Mingzhen immediately left the Dragon Palace City and rushed to the beach area.

What came into his view was a large team from a certain region, estimated to be over 100,000 strong, currently engaged in fierce combat with hordes of corrupted merman monsters.

Although these players were significantly lower level than the murloc monsters, it must be admitted that the team consisted entirely of elite combatants from that battlefront. Their combat skills and adaptability were top-notch, and under unified command and coordination, the situation had not yet descended into complete chaos.

Of course, this is under the premise that no other adversaries intervene.

Now that he has arrived in person, this temporary balance is unlikely to last.

On the other hand, his skill "Ling Yue" has been upgraded to level ten.

As the most wide-ranging offensive method currently available, a level 10 Ling Yue is enough to cover an area of 100 meters square.

Although the damage per hit has not been increased, the significant expansion of its attack range undoubtedly greatly enhances its effectiveness in group combat.

"[Ling Yue - Level 10]: Applies three spiritual strikes to enemies within a designated 100*100 meter area. Each strike deals 1.5 times the target's Intelligence as damage, lasting for three seconds. Consumes 500 Mana. Cooldown: 4 seconds."

Based on his current intelligence stats, the total damage from the three stacked attacks is enough to inflict considerable damage.

Even with his own health and defense stats, he can only withstand a few hits from himself.

It's like how even a gunman is afraid of guns.

However, these players' maximum health can never exceed their own.

Even though the opponent has a numerical advantage, their strength is not enough to pose a real threat to him.

In addition, he has upgraded another skill to level 10, and with the addition of other items and skills, his mana regeneration means that mana sustainability is not a problem.

"[Flower Spirit - Level 10] Summons a Flower Spirit that lasts for 120 seconds, restoring 300 Mana points per second to up to five friendly units in the vicinity. Cast range: 30 meters."

He then ordered the Wildsea Candle Dragon to guard the rear sea area and intercept any fish that tried to dive into the deep sea. He then raised his hand first and launched an "Eagle Strike" to strike the densest part of the crowd.

The Alliance guild in District 19, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the murloc monsters, had no time to notice the murderous intent approaching from afar when a giant spirit bird suddenly appeared from the horizon, soaring across the sky and penetrating the team's ranks.

Wherever the opponent passed, the player's figure vanished instantly, tearing a blank trail through the crowd.

"Shiyade" was immediately shocked by this sudden attack.

"FUCK, what's going on?"

Then came a series of wide-area attacks, which came crashing down: there was a vast expanse of Ling Yue light, as well as sharp skill damage.

This is further enhanced by the elusive and unpredictable phantoms of spirit birds that appear and disappear in all directions.

Seeing this, the commander could already determine that these were all Priest -type skills.

How could Priest possess such terrifying offensive capabilities?

He had witnessed his own guild's Priests casting spells before, and had seen them use moves like Eagle Strike and Ling Yue during sparring matches, but compared to the power he was currently experiencing, they were worlds apart.

A chilling answer immediately struck his mind in the next instant.

It's him!

"It's that Cheater, Chongxing!"

"FUCK! Chongxing is attacking us! All units, regroup and gather! Assassins, stealth and conceal yourselves! Shield Guards, advance and form ranks!"

He immediately shouted the latest instructions at the top of his lungs in the team channel.

The staff officers immediately began to carry out the task in a tense but orderly manner.

The Core Team remained calm.

The Rogue Players who joined in panicked, and many were quite surprised.

"Damn it, what happened?"

"The Great God Chongxing? Why is he attacking us?"

"Wait, did he participate in the Territory War too? Which guild did he join?"

"I never expected to witness the might of the great master Chongxing in Chongxing... and I never expected that his target would be us!"

"I'm already down and can't get up. Brothers, take care of yourselves." This was said by a descendant of the Dragon Han, who showed much more respect for Chongxing.

"Gone. Couldn't even withstand a single move. Sent back to the respawn point before I even saw a shadow of him."

"After checking the battle logs, I realized I still owe the pro player 10,000 points of damage."

"I wasn't just short 10,000 health points; I only had a little over 10,000 health points in total, yet he dealt over 30,000 damage!"

"They're both Priests, but the difference is just too outrageous!"

"I'd heard they were cheating long ago. Cheating is shameful!"

"Why wasn't I the one who cheated?"

"God, save us!"

"This is unfair, his account should be banned!"

"His coordinates have been locked! The guild's assassin team has stealthily approached!"

There aren't many assassin players who can conceal themselves during combat, but those who have mastered their unique skills are all elites among players.

At this moment, more than ten high-level assassins had quietly approached Zhang Mingzhen's rear, poised to strike and kill him in one fell swoop!

If they can successfully secure the First kill on Chongxing, not only will their current predicament be resolved, but they will also become famous throughout the entire God's Domain —the first death record of the Great God Chongxing will be broken right now!

And at this time...

Gao Linzhi also turned his gaze over again.

Fighting against tens of thousands of enemies single-handedly is quite interesting.

He has the same ability, but he doesn't like to use it in a high-profile way.

Because Gao Linzhi understands very well that the more high-profile you are, the more you will be targeted.

This Zhang Mingzhen is ultimately no match for him; he can't suppress the pretentious nature of young people.
