Facing Away from Dawn, Toward Darkness

When the Player logged back in, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day.

The Dark Invasion as usual.

War, war, endless war.

Every day, those Dark Creatures would attack Dawn City in numbers of two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand.

Although the number of Dark Creatures that died below the cliff exceeded 200,000.

However, the number of Professional killed in action within the city has reached 6,300, and the number of seriously injured and disabled is also close to 3,000.

This means that at least three Legion have lost their combat capability.

Although it wasn't just Regular Army who died— Professional were among those killed—the sheer intensity of the casualties was truly shocking to many Player.

After Chu Liuqiu logged on, he once again organized manpower to help defend the city.

Four days have passed, and now more than 30,000 Player have successfully changed their class.

After acquiring mid-tier equipment, their combat power increased dramatically, transforming them into a Fresh Troops —a fearless, pain-resistant, and inexhaustible iron-headed Legion.

And now...

As the Player continued to grow stronger, they finally reached a point where they could be of help and give the Regular Army some breathing room.

at the same time.

Many Player are still constantly refreshing the official website and Forum.

Many female players were moved to tears because the scope of the Dark Invasion was too vast. According to official statistics, in just four days, eight royal capitals have fallen and hundreds of cities have been occupied by dark creatures.

The number of NPC deaths across the Nine Continents has exceeded 7 million and is rapidly approaching the 10 million mark.

Now, many Player have lost their main cities and can only flee to the territory of the Grand Duchy to eke out a living...

On foreign Player ' Forum, there was not only a barrage of curses, but also many cries of despair.

Player are criticizing the game planners, the official team, and the inaction of the powerful NPCs.

The tears were for those vividly portrayed NPCs, whom we both loved and hated, who simply died...

The photos were horrific, and the videos were indescribable.

After devouring the human beings of the Small Duchy, the Dark Creatures dared not venture into the heavily fortified territory of the Grand Duchy. Instead, they went mad, searching for the remaining creatures in various places.

Regardless of the race of those creatures, whether they were humans, beasts, or Magical Beast, the Dark Creatures pounced on them like a black tide, tearing them apart in an instant.

The howls of wild beasts last only a few seconds before they are on their last legs.

And the carcasses of wild animals don't last long either.

Just a few minutes.

A skeleton covered in teeth marks appeared before their eyes.

Hordes of Dark Creatures, like monsters that are never satisfied, will continue to ravage the remaining surviving life...

Every Player's Novice Village suffered a devastating blow.

Only.

Legendary Continent.

In the Novice Village for Huaxia Player, the battles were not only evenly matched, but the casualties were also relatively low.

after all...

The mere tens of thousands of casualties suffered by Dawn City and Blackrock Duchy are hardly considered significant losses by foreign Player.

Actually, at this point in time...

The Player understood.

The 2.0 version of Dark Invasion will Pierce all future versions.

And the struggle against Dark Creatures will likely become a central theme as well.

Or rather...

The main war between the Light Faction and Dark Faction.

This war transcends versions, time, and place!

Some mischievous America Player even posted a list of the strengths of Gods various Novice Village the game. "Only when facing the Dark Invasion can you see the true fighting power of Player's Duchy."

Those nations lacking sufficient combat strength, such as the Archipelago Nations, have already been partially wiped out. (To be honest, please don't attack me, Archipelago Nations Player.)

With the advent of version 2.0, High-Class Professional have emerged or broken through to new heights, no longer just a handful of big shots.

The force with the most High-Class experts should be Dawn City, with about 5 to 8, which is about twice that of the other Duchy.

Therefore, Dawn City ranks first without a doubt.

This is because Dawn City not only has many High-Class Professional, but also an exceptionally strong military force.

I watched the live stream. The Regular Army of Dawn City has only about 30,000 people, but half of them are Intermediate-Class Professional, and they all have Silver Set and Gold Set.

What does this mean?

This is equivalent to the Royal Guard of other Duchy, enough to take on two opponents at once, especially since they are all BOSS S-Class. This situation is simply unimaginable to me.

Many Player have likely already experienced and witnessed the power of Pure-Blood Elf.

The two pure-blooded Elf Legion of Dawn City are at least several times stronger than the human Legion!

Just think about it, how strong is Legion at the BOSS S-Class?

More than 30,000 men, even stronger than the 100,000 troops of other Duchy.

Second place goes to our Dome Capital in the America. This King City, built on a 1300-meter-high dome-shaped mountain, has gathered nearly 100,000 Regular Army and more than 200,000 Player.

Their strength is equally unfathomable.

Every day I see those Dark Creatures rush up and be repelled, and I feel a deep sense of peace.

In my opinion, both of the top two locations have the potential to withstand the Dark Invasion, since terrain is crucial.

As for the third place, it should be Dawn City's current rival, the Blackrock Duchy, a country that annexed the Steel Duchy and has amassed a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Within six months, they built a defensive line on the south side, which included five Military Fortress.

One fortress fell yesterday, leaving four remaining.

However, the forces in these four fortresses were much stronger, because the Blackrock Duchy's Legion weren't stupid. Seeing that they couldn't hold out, they simply abandoned the cities and launched a second attack, thus dispersing their other forces among the four fortresses, making it much easier to deal with the Dark Creatures."

This Player's ranking of major powers has been released.

This drew criticism from many of the Archipelago Nations...

Many Player also believe that this ranking is undeserved.

A mere Neutral Lord, a mere Dawn City, and a mere 30,000 troops, yet they're ranked first? This is clearly a fake ranking!

The flame war between Player has reignited.

But the Legendary Continent has once again become a hot topic among Player.

Forum don't restrict Player from other countries; it's just that when Player go to foreign Forum, they don't know what to say because they have no common language. All they do is flame and flame...

The Angry Little Fatty, seeing his popularity steadily rising, was bewildered. What was going on? The Bullet Commentary were full of foreign languages—what the hell was that?

But getting attention is a good thing. He just needs to do a good job with the live stream and give His Prince the most handsome shots.

"Attention everyone, His Your Highness has unleashed his ultimate move! His Highness has unleashed his ultimate move!"

"My God, look! This is His Your Highness's Mass Thunder Annihilation! It's an attack beyond its range! Dozens of Thunder crashed down, instantly wiping out all the Dark Creatures within a hundred meters."

Suddenly, a beam of Holy Light streaked across the lens.

Little Fatty quickly shifted the camera, but could only sigh helplessly, "It should be Angel Judgment, but unfortunately I didn't see the full shot. If you want to see it, you can check out my previous live stream recordings. This move is super cool, and the Winged Folk Player will probably be in luck in the future."

"If you learn the Dark Creatures Angel Judgment move, you could probably take down some dark bosses in an instant."

The Live Stream Room Bullet Commentary flooded with comments.

"I, Temple Knight, refuse to accept this! After awakening my Light attribute, my Light Element Battle Aura will be more than enough to crush you!"

We are the main force against ten thousand Dark Creatures Dark Creatures.

'Yes, I, the Priest, disagree.'

'I, Lightning Element Warrior, smile without saying a word. City Lord -level character, failing to awaken it will be a loss, failing to awaken it will be a trap.'

'Heh, I, the Warlock wielding Epic-Class longsword, am equally unconvinced.'

'Boss...'

'Boss...'

The profession of Warlock is actually quite peculiar.

Once they reach the intermediate level, they can basically only awaken Light Element or Dark Element attributes.

Unlike Warlock, who can only specialize in a single attribute after reaching the intermediate level, Mage can learn Omni-Element Magic and possess all sorts of bizarre witchcraft.

I want to become stronger!

One more condition is needed!

That is reading books.

The Gods Continent contains countless Magic books. The more Warlock Player read, the more they can continuously strengthen their magic Skill and other branch Skill, even making them as powerful as Light Element and Dark Element magic Skill.

But what are Magic books? They're either painstakingly written by NPCs or painstakingly collected by them. How could they possibly lend them to others to read?

Of course, it's not impossible to borrow it if you really want to.

Give me the money!

If you have enough money, I'll sell it to you without a problem.

Therefore, the real whales (players who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases) are not the Ranger, Warrior, Assassin, or Mage, but Warlock!

Mage can call them "Master Mages".

Warlock could truly call them great wizards.

If the future of Mage is limited to a single path of specialization...

Those Warlock are even more advanced and powerful super Mage who are proficient in multiple magic systems. They don't need to spend as much experience as learning a Secondary Class; they only need to spend some Skill experience.

It could even be said that Warlock with extensive knowledge of the classics can completely overpower Mage of the same rank.

But that weak Warlock is truly terrible!

Specializing in one area is useless, melee combat is useless, all I can do is use all sorts of bizarre witchcraft to harass the enemy.

However, a very small number of Warlock Player, after reaching the intermediate level, embark on a rampage!

Mid-Class Magic?

How much is one copy?

Let's start with a hundred books.

Warlock robes, Warlock hats?

No way! Don't you know my Secondary Class is Warrior?

Give me a full set of main-target and secondary-target armor. Yes, armor.

Epic-Class longsword and one Epic-Class Staff in each hand.

And then, all that's left is to act recklessly.

cough.

But these Warlock Player are undoubtedly top-tier whales who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases.

Never mess with them.

Otherwise, he might very well have wielded his Staff and used melee combat to knock a Warrior down to the point of questioning their existence.

As time went on...

The Dark Invasion has reached its seventh day, at 2 PM.

But this time the Dark Creatures ' formation was completely different.

Or rather...

The Dark Creatures were once a chaotic motley crew.

But this time...

A figure resembling Demon actually arranged and deployed those 500,000 Dark Creatures into battle formation!

And hundreds of thousands of Player recognized him.

Goethe Nassis, founder of the Freedom Alliance of the Steel Duchy, and the mastermind behind it all.

Even though half of his face was rotten, and even though he had now become a Demon monster, Player could still recognize who he was.

William, equally exhausted, looked at him...

Goethe Nassis met his gaze, then gave Augustine, who was equally hostile to him, a hateful look before flying into the sky.

He cried out, "Lord of Dawn, today is the day..."

Rumble!

The Heavy City below the cliff suddenly opened!

What came into view was neither the heavy cavalry that gave Goethe Nassis a headache, nor Troll!

Instead, it's a group of...

A colossal object, several meters tall.

That is...

Hundreds of Silverback Giant Ape, each with a joyful expression, were carrying oversized golden spiked Spiked Club...

That one second.

Countless people swallowed hard.

That one second.

Goethe Nassis suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

That one second.

A beam of white light shot through the sky within Dawn City.

at the same time.

Three more beams of white light shot into the sky from the south and east!

William, equally somber, slowly stepped forward, his entire body engulfed in Thunder and flames, and soared into the sky.

No nonsense.

There were no unnecessary movements.

He did it only in front of countless people.

Pointing the tip of their blades at the Dark Army to the north.

That moment.

The Dawn War Drum sounded for the first time.

That moment.

The hundreds of Silverback Giant Ape, running at full speed, resembled a herd of beasts in a riot.

That moment.

Two hundred thousand troops marched out.

This is the Dawn City, this is the Professional!

Each of them possessed the courage to turn their backs on the dawn and face the darkness.

And the knives in their hands.

It will be a gift to welcome the coming darkness.

Hey guys, I'm begging for your Monthly Ticket!
