"I'm so nervous. Are we about to charge?"
"I'm ready. Wealth and glory are right within reach. This charge is all that stands between me and unlocking my Astral Veins."
"Brother Di Zhao, bless us. That Spirit Energy Bomb cost 105 points of Sacrificial Power—all my savings. I hope it can blow up a Black Armor Snake soldier."
"Brothers up front, stop shaking. It's a game. You can revive after you die, so why are you so nervous?"
After two days of preparation, the players gathered once again at the entrance to the great hall on the fifth underground level of Gloomy Cave.
This battle's charge was to be led by "Wosinie Die," the president of the Drunken Dinner Guild, selected through a forum vote. Her only duty was to give the order to charge.
As time passed, more and more players arrived, forming a long line at the entrance.
The voice channel for the Gloomy Cave area was bustling. The players felt nervous about the upcoming suicidal charge, but also excited, with a hint of anticipation.
"Brothers, let's blow them up!"
At player "Wosinie Die's" cry, the players who had prepared themselves rushed into the great hall, each carrying a Spirit Energy Bomb.
The dormant Black Armor Snake soldiers awoke. Blood-red light flared in their empty eyes as they turned toward the players, weapons in hand.
Under the Corrosion Core's control, the Black Armor Snake soldiers launched an attack on the Player Legion.
Boom!
As the first explosion rang out, more and more explosions erupted throughout the great hall like firecrackers. The sight was spectacular.
Players kept dissolving into black mist, then entering the forum's livestream to watch from outside the battlefield.
The number of viewers in "Wosinie Die's" livestream, where she served as commander, continued to grow.
