Chapter 354: Chapter 335: Territory Offense and Defense Battle
As the bidding for rare pets concluded, Lin Yi, as expected, acquired three rare pets, which instantly stirred a great uproar and considerable discontent among many Goryeo players.
It is foreseeable that this flashy operation by Feng Hua will definitely put them on Goryeo’s blacklist, and it won’t be a peaceful type of blacklist either.
Once the bidding for rare pets was over, the subsequent display of rare mounts became utterly irrelevant to Lin Yi.
When everyone was anxiously wondering if Lin Yi would strike again, they were relieved to find that he did not.
Not until the announcement of the end of the last rare mount auction did all the Goryeo players heave a heavy sigh of relief.
Once the points exchange ended, many chose to log off, those who had work went to work, and those who had school went to school.
The remaining players mostly chose to continue with tasks or other activities.
Even though everyone wanted to stay and watch what Feng Hua would do next, life had to go on.
These people could only switch to forums, waiting for the aftermath of the event.
As players left and spread out in large numbers, the previously divided 9 channels merged into 1.
Yet at this time, the event square was still densely packed with countless players.
Especially around Lin Yi, almost all the strong players in the Goryeo War Zone gathered.
Cui Dongxu watched Lin Yi with a grim expression and said resolutely:
"The humiliation of today, we Goryeo will repay you a hundredfold."
"From now on, between Goryeo and you, it’s a fight to the death!"
Faced with such a threat from Cui Dongxu, Lin Yi merely gave a cold smile:
"Is that so?"
"I’ll be waiting."
Then Lin Yi, under everyone’s watchful eyes, gradually faded from sight.
This time, to escape the predicament in front of him, Lin Yi could only use the invisibility scroll Yuna gave him in the Floating City.
During this process, a wave of commotion arose around him.
However, with the fierce gaze of the row of City Lord Mansion soldiers behind Lin Yi, everyone could only watch helplessly as Lin Yi disappeared.
Just as Lin Yi vanished, Cui Dongxu suddenly said:
"It wasn’t easy for you to come to Goryeo."
"If you’re not in a rush, why not come with us to Tang Family Castle for a good show?"
With a cold laugh, Cui Dongxu turned and left.
As he left, the surrounding crowd dispersed as well.
Meanwhile, a system message suddenly updated in the world channel of the Goryeo War Zone:
System (Xinquan City): The City Lord has approved the territory attack application by player "Park Renyong."
System (Xinquan City): Attack target: Tang Family Castle territory; Attack time limit: 3h; Attacking party: Wind Ranger Guild; Tang Family Castle territory attack defense countdown: 01:00:00.
Attack on Tang Family Castle territory!
And this is the good show Cui Dongxu just mentioned.
Although Lin Yi had already learned about this from other players’ discussions yesterday, for some reason, a surge of indescribable anger rose within him as he saw this message.
This could be said to be a declaration (suppression) by the Goryeo War Zone players against Hua Country players, adding another layer of meaning as the most direct retaliation against Lin Yi’s actions.
At this moment, while they could do nothing to Lin Yi, those Hua Country players in the Goryeo War Zone didn’t have Lin Yi’s capability.
It’s obvious that this time, they were adamantly intent on targeting those Hua Country people to vent their anger.
"Bastards!"
Lin Yi, now invisible, stood outside the crowd, gritting his teeth and said:
"These damn Koreans are simply asking for it."
Yet at this moment, Lin Yi, aside from expressing anger, could do nothing but watch the events unfold helplessly.
Once the system announced the start of the territory battle, countless people mounted up and headed towards the Tang Family Castle territory outside Xinquan City.
This was the first territory attack defense held in the Goryeo War Zone, so the players in the Goryeo War Zone displayed incredible excitement.
For them, at this moment, nothing could make them feel more vindicated.
Therefore, Lin Yi could only use the invisibility scroll Yuna gave him in the Floating City and follow the crowd towards Tang Family Castle.
Meanwhile, inside the Tang Family Castle stronghold, over five hundred players from the Tang Family Castle Guild were already present.
Suddenly, Tang Aotian said to the nearby Yaoji:
"Do you know what Feng Hua told me last night?"
Yaoji was taken aback:
"What is it?"
He didn’t understand why this matter was suddenly brought up.
Then Tang Aotian suddenly stepped forward and shouted to everyone:
"When Feng Hua left yesterday, he told me one thing."
"The outcome of today’s territory battle is bound to be unchangeable, so he hoped we can retreat strategically to fight another day."
Yaoji:
"What do you mean?"
Tang Aotian smiled wryly:
"Abandon defending the city to avoid greater losses."
As soon as Tang Aotian stopped speaking, the crowd immediately erupted in discussion, whispering to each other:
"What?"
"He’s telling us to abandon defending the city? How is that possible!"
"If we abandon defending the city, they would think we’re afraid of them."
"Exactly, even if we die, I want them to pay dearly."
"Yes! At worst, we fight till death, without fear!"
Amidst the righteous indignation of the crowd, suddenly someone voiced a contrary opinion:
"But even if we stay, what can we do?"
"Besides making fools of ourselves, we are bound to lose at least one level again, and even drop the hard-earned equipment."
"Is it all just for pride?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding instantly fell silent, the crowd turned to look at the player who spoke:
"Dabai, have you lost your mind? Is that something you should say? If you’re scared, just leave, no one’s holding you back."
The player named Dabai glanced at everyone, then lowered his head helplessly and said:
"I’m just stating the facts."
"We all know very well what situation we are in."
"After today, trying to gain even one level will become more and more difficult, you better think it through."
Then he fell silent.
With the silence of this player, the blood boiling in the crowd gradually cooled as harsh reality set in.
Then Tang Aotian spoke again:
"This time, I won’t force you to make a choice, whether to stay or leave is up to you."
After saying that, Tang Aotian walked desolately towards the city wall.
Suddenly Yaoji spoke:
"Dabai is right, don’t act on impulse everyone."
"Listen to the advice from Master Feng Hua, retreat strategically to fight another day, we will settle this score sooner or later."
Finally, Yaoji gritted his teeth:
"Everyone’s got families to look after, don’t get involved in this mess, just go back."
Yaoji then chased after Tang Aotian:
"Old Tang, wait for me."
Tang Aotian, seemingly expecting it, looked at Yaoji chasing behind:
"Sorry, I dragged you into this again."
Yaoji laughed nonchalantly:
"We’re family, no need for formalities, even if we fall back to the Newbie Village, I’ll join you for a wild ride."
As he spoke, Yaoji wore a look of yearning, gazing at the distant blue sky with a sigh:
"These Goryeo bastards might only swagger for a while, I believe it won’t be long before Master Feng Hua avenges us brothers."
Tang Aotian heard this and couldn’t help but smile:
"Don’t you ever think of avenging this yourself?"
Yaoji, however, put on an embarrassed look, scratching his head and said:
"I know my level well enough, I can only wait for when the borders open and let Master Feng Hua lead us to retaliate."
At this point, Tang Aotian sighed heavily, with a troubled expression as he walked towards the city wall and said with a sense of longing:
"Let’s hope so."
