Chapter 263: Putting On A Good Show
Looking at the shocked faces of the nine messengers, Liu Chai gave an indifferent smile.
“Now that I’ve agreed, naturally I have to show my sincerity. I’ll declare war with the Rock Ghost King right away. My lords, would you be interested in witnessing the battle?”
The messengers were obviously unable to keep up with Liu Chai’s pace, subconsciously nodding in reply after a moment of silence.
Soon, all the Beiqi players started preparing for war. A large number of people gathered outside the city.
About two hours later, the huge army of players was embattled and marching toward the North Rocks.
The messengers were indeed dumbfounded.
Liu Chai was too reckless in declaring war. He was so reckless that they didn’t have any confidence in him. They quickly followed behind the army of players marching, wishing to see whether this was a true battle or merely a facade by feigning attack.
Right at this moment, inside the live chat channel.
Yin Xiaoqi: “Boss Liu, have you sent someone to inform the Rock Ghost King? Did he agree?”
Liu Chai: “He did. The Rock Ghost King thought that we must act perfectly from the very beginning until the end, so he’ll do his best to work with us. He also wants 20 percent of the resources that the Nine Luminaries will deliver to us!”
Ye Xue’er: “Hahaha, great job, little sister Yin Xiaoqi, here goes another big trap!”
Gu Yu: “Brilliant! We’ll play based on this script… consider us a loser if they don’t get stressed out in the end.”
Wu Guoyi: “Interesting! Guys, don’t be too brutal in killing them later. Having casualties is not a big deal for us, but do reserve some resources for the Rock Ghost King and don’t overdo it!”
Following a long march of two hours, the players finally arrived at the densely-wooded area in the North Rocks.
Nonetheless, they didn’t stop their pace and continued charging onward.
When the army of players reached the edge of the Rock Ghost King’s territory, countless figures of Tree Demons and Enchanted Trees appeared before them. At the same time, five huge trees were flying over from afar, smashing heavily on the edge of the Rock Ghost King’s territory, overlooking the army of players.
“Player Clan! Why are you attacking my North Rocks!” the Rock Ghost King hooted in rage.
“Rock Ghost King, you brigand! Hand over your territory and surrender yourself, or else I will take away your pathetic life and seize the North Rocks!” Liu Chai immediately shouted in reply.
“This is the North Rocks, I advise you to retreat quickly before my army kicks your asses and wipes out your entire army!” the Rock Ghost King yelled back again.
The messengers were bewildered as they saw Liu Chai and Rock Ghost King shouting such malicious words at each other.
We usually begin the war straight away. What’s with all the yelling before the war? Is it warming up?
“Fine, bully… since you’re unwilling to surrender, go to hell then! Kill them!”
“Thickhead! My place isn’t something you can obtain easily! My dear children, come kill alongside me!”
Both Liu Chai and the Rock Ghost King shrieked simultaneously and their armies dashed forward in an instant.
The faces of the nine messengers grew solemn at the sight of this, they began to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Bang!
The battle began as the two armies clashed together.
Most of the players were goofing around during the battle and started putting on a show.
Not only did the players have to show the messengers that they were doing all they could to fight and kill, but they also had to die inadvertently in the battle. They made full use of their abilities to perform, albeit with great difficulty.
However, the battle appeared to be exceptionally intense when seen from a distance.
The messengers from the Nine Luminaries were really dumbfounded, looking at the war.
They’re doing it for real? Where’s the feigned attack they agreed upon to prove their sincerity?
Looking at the huge number of players who died, the messengers were so baffled that they were at a loss for words.
“Kill!”
The great battle cry rumbled in the sky as the battle between the two armies intensified.
The Rock Ghost King felt so great as he was killing during the battle. After all, the players were merely feigning attack and thus he wouldn’t lose too many soldiers. He could feel the alacrity in his heart for the reason that he could gain 20 percent of the resources after the battle.
He could definitely sell these resources to the players by putting them in the shop later in exchange for soul coins, and then converting those into soul power. Perhaps he could utilize this opportunity to break through and become a Greater Ghost King.
“Die! All of you!” with the roar of the Rock Ghost King, the vines in the zone of the wood element were moving in a frenzied dance, killing a large number of players.
The Rock Ghost King had always been bullied by the players, yet he felt extremely delighted at this moment where he had the opportunity to massacre them freely. He grew more and more enthusiastic as he went on killing, for he might not have another chance to do so.
Upon seeing the large number of players being strangled to death by the Rock Ghost King, the messengers from the Nine Luminaries turned to look at Liu Chai, who retreated to their side.
“Lord… Lord of the Mansion of the Dead, doesn’t your heart hurt?”
“It does, but this is our sincerity! Don’t judge simply because I may seem fairly random in our agreement. Our clan is very forthright and we never go back on our promises! Besides, take a look at our poor warriors who don’t even have decent equipment. We might have the advantage in respect of the numbers, but… sigh!”
The Messenger of Xing Yao’s lips twitched as he glanced through a large number of dead players.
“Lord of the Mansion of the Dead… perhaps… you should retreat and wait for the arrival of our resources before dispatching more troops?”
“No way! We must fight with vigor since the battle has already started!”
Liu Chai rejected within seconds and went on shouting at the front, “Kill! Children! It’s the Rock Ghost King! Kill him!”
Witnessing a large number of deaths, the messengers couldn’t help but speak again, their hearts bleeding, “Lord of theMansion of the Dead, stop fighting! You’re simply wasting your soldiers for nothing! How about this, we’ll deliver the resources as soon as possible for you to make another war and you can definitely take down the Rock Ghost King by then! You mustn’t let emotions affect your decision now!”
“No! We must fight with vigor!”
Seeing that Liu Chai was so stubborn, the nine messengers turned over and jumped off the back of their Chaos Earth Dragons. They walked over to Liu Chai, trying to persuade him earnestly.
At the present stage, they were completely convinced by Liu Chai that he was honestly seeking their patronage.
In that case, these dying soldiers would be the future subordinates and forces of His Excellency Xing Yao who would take control over Beiqi in the future. Their hearts ached at the sight of the dying players.
Noticing Liu Chai’s determination in doing so, the nine messengers immediately made an assurance to him that they would only take three days. They promised to send the resources in three days, in the hope that Liu Chai could suppress his anger and tolerate the wait for three more days.
In the end, Liu Chai let out a long sigh under their persistent persuasion.
“Frankly speaking, based on my hot temper, this battle will either end with their death or my army being wiped out. But since I’ve sought your patronage, I still have to listen to the words of my lords and show due respect to you!”
The nine messengers immediately nodded upon hearing that, seemingly agreed with him.
“I’ll end the battle for your sake, but I’ll definitely fight it out with them in the next war!”
There was a hidden meaning behind Liu Chai’s words. If they were to lose the war against the Rock Ghost King due to insufficient resources, this useful army of the Mansion of the Dead would be of no avail by then.
The messengers unanimously nodded in agreement and shot Liu Chai a grateful look.
To them, it appeared that Liu Chai had truly honored them in making the decision.
At this moment, they completely believed that Liu Chai was a very honest and forthright lord who could be easily driven by them.
