Giving up on his following missions and scramming back for the sake of saving a little bit of time was not something Liu Ming would do. Hence, Liu Ming chose to stay hidden in the dark and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
In fact, long before Liu Ming and the others were sent to Cara City for reconnaissance, the main cities had already sent spies to stay outside Cara City and observe the strange changes in the city. However, at that time, the Darkness Canopy had shrouded Cara City, and the spies could not enter at all.
Besides, the various major cities’ high-level NPCs had never planned to snatch Cara City and the other main cities back in the first place. In fact, the major cities would never send anyone to come and reconnoiter if not for the fact that King Maur V had issued orders for them to do so.
Hence, the major cities’ senior executives only issued a real reconnaissance quest to the players. According to the thoughts of the various major cities’ senior executives, it would still take one or two months even if the players could complete the reconnaissance quest.
One or two months would be enough for the Darkness Camp to turn the captured main cities into their specialized cities. By then, it would require more than the ‘miscellaneous’ troops to snatch the main cities back.
The players had gotten the rewards they deserved, and the major cities had also avoided incurring losses. This was a win-win situation that made everyone happy.
However, after Liu Ming managed to destroy Cara City’s Darkness Canopy, many main cities’ senior executives began to develop certain thoughts.
Without the Darkness Canopy, the Darkness Camp’s senior executives had almost become commanders of light.
Besides, killing the Darkness Camp’s senior executives would allow them to receive handsome rewards from the Light Alliance. In other words, anyone who could kill them would get not only the king’s reward but also the bounty from the Light Alliance.
Of course, none of the major cities’ senior executives wanted to let go of such a good opportunity.
…
Hence, in less than half an hour after Liu Ming destroyed the Darkness Canopy, numerous Brilliance Camp armies had charged to Cara City.
At this moment, not all of the undead troops had been annihilated. However, the remaining ones were basically in semi-crippled states under the sunlight.
The Elite-level undead creatures, originally at Level 30, could at most display Level 20 Stats. Although the Undead Generals’ situation was slightly better, they still could not perform at full strength.
Those that could reach Cara City were basically all the major cities’ elites. Therefore, they required little effort to kill the heavily weakened undead creatures.
In the beginning, the number of Brilliance Camp troops that charged into Cara City was rather small. Thus, the undead troops could still suppress the other party because they outnumbered them.
However, as more and more Brilliance Camp troops charged into Cara City, the undead troops were soon attacked to the point of collapsing, and the entire Cara City fell into chaos again.
Upon seeing chaos break out in Cara City again, Liu Ming—who had been hiding in the city—began to get active again.
Although the undead creatures had their Stats decreased, they still gave plenty of EXP.
…
Just as Liu Ming was killing monsters effortlessly, the two major camps’ players finally understood the reason why such a huge commotion had broken out between the two camps.
All of a sudden, countless players began exclaiming in awe about Liu Ming’s impressiveness. Even though a few sarcastic players had opposing views, their comments were soon drowned out by the other voices.
In comparison, the Darkness Camp’s players were completely dumbfounded after hearing the news.
Initially, the players thought that there might be a huge commotion about the Camp Activity this time. However, in reality, God Domain’s official developers merely wanted to give the players some benefits when they activated the Darkness Camp’s system cities.
After all, even the NPCs on par with Level 40 Boss-level monsters were not something the players could deal with at this stage, let alone the high-level NPCs above Level 40.
In this situation, those who could make their presence known in front of the Darkness Camp, like World’s Best, developing strategies for the NPCs and performing some simple tasks were the most they could do.
In the end, when it was Liu Ming’s turn, he directly demolished Cara City’s Darkness Canopy.
This was the same as playing a MOBA game, where everyone was still farming monsters and developing their items. Yet, Liu Ming simply ignored the defensive towers and simply demolished the enemy’s base.
If not for the fact that God Domain’s officials had long stated that no assisting software for God Domain could appear, many of the Darkness Camp players would probably report Liu Ming for cheating.
Since they could not defeat him or run from him, the Darkness Camp players could only pray that they wouldn’t run into Liu Ming, the jinx, during their quests. Of course, some were still a little unhappy about it.
…
In a certain residential area of Kelop City, World’s Best was seated in his seat with a sullen expression. Beside him were World Guild’s senior executives, who all had cautious expressions, not daring to breathe loudly.
After a while, World’s Best questioned in a hostile manner, “Usually, all of you are really capable. Why have you all turned mute now?”
World’s Best—who was initially already in a foul mood because of his new arch enemy—flew into a rage when he looked at his incompetent subordinates, who only knew to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Although they understood the reason for their leader’s anger, they could not retaliate at all and could only huddle up in a corner. After all, if it were anything else, they would still be able to come up with a solution.
However, Liu Ming’s current combat power was clearly not on the same level as them. Even if all of the guild’s players worked together, they might not be able to defeat Liu Ming. Under such circumstances, what strategy or counterattack could they come up with?
In the end, Invincible bit the bullet and said, “President, Floating Cloud has already improved greatly. At this stage, ordinary players are not his match at all. However, no matter how strong Floating Cloud may be, he can’t be stronger than a high-level NPC who’s above Level 50. Why don’t we think of a way to make the high-level NPCs deal with him?”
Upon hearing the solution, World’s Best’s expression became a little less sullen. However, World’s Best still rejected Invincible’s suggestion in the end. “You’ve got a great idea,t but the Darkness Camp’s NPCs will not be manipulated by us.”
Immediately after, World’s Best sighed gently and said, “Forget it. We’ll take one step at a time and play it by ear. We’ll find the right opportunity later.”
After calming down, World’s Best still felt indignant, but he temporarily gave up on devising a plan to deal with Liu Ming.
…
Seven days quickly passed.
During those seven days, the two camps constantly got into conflicts. But other than Cara City, which had been heavily destroyed, only trivial fights and conflicts occurred in other cities. However, even though the conflicts were minor, the players were still extremely enthusiastic.
The handsome rewards of the Camp Activity caused many players, who had just reached Level 20, to scurry over and try their luck.
However, excluding the high-level NPCs that were already held back by the opposing NPCs, the minor Boss-level leaders could not be easily defeated by the many low-level players and their teams.
In addition to the threat posed by high-level monsters, many players from the opposing camp also waited to kill the low-level players.
This resulted in a decrease in the benefits obtained by the players, whose equipment and levels also decreased greatly.
