Chapter 27: Dragon King's Strike
Chapter 27: Dragon King's Strike
Su Yu stood behind the village elder, his expression calm as he watched the two groups facing off in front of him.
He had called the Sky Slash Guild over, of course, with the intention of tricking them.
The [Star-Casting Dragon King], a powerful NPC at level 84, would certainly not be killed by new players.
On the contrary, if a large number of players attacked it, the [Star-Casting Dragon King] would become extremely irritated, and a single breath of draconic fire would be enough to wipe out the hundreds of people on the square.
As for tricking the players of the Imperial Blood Guild at the same time, Su Yu felt no guilt.
Although the Imperial Blood Guild had become a force for good in the later stages of the game, cooperating with Guo Jia's overall strategy, they had been nothing but a despicable guild in the early stages. So, tricking them was justifiable.
The confrontation between the two major guilds on the village square quickly set the official forums ablaze.
One particular post—“Shocking! Sky Slash Guild and Imperial Blood Slaughter Guild Face Off at the Square of Village 6, Suspected to Go to War!”—went viral!
Within a few minutes, the post had garnered hundreds of replies.
The post included a video recorded by the player who made the post.
In the video, Sky Slash Sword led his players on the right side of the square, while Imperial Blood Slaughter, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, and their followers stood on the left.
Both sides glared at each other, clearly ready to fight at the slightest provocation!
The forum members were excited:
"Whoa! This is the rhythm of a guild war!"
"True Red-Eyed Black Dragon left the despicable Sky Slash Guild to join Imperial Blood Slaughter. They must be trying to get some justice for him!"
"Upper floor is wrong! True Red-Eyed Black Dragon was never part of Sky Slash! He's framing us!"
"A single hand can't clap. You say he’s framing you, but why would he do that for no reason?"
"Anyway, the Imperial Blood Guild isn't any better! They’re monopolizing the leveling spots in Village 2!"
Gradually, the discussion veered off-topic, and a flame war broke out in the comments below.
Of course, more players, upon seeing the post, logged in immediately and headed to Village 6 to see the commotion.
Next to the [Coachman] in Village 6, a large number of players appeared and surged toward the village square like a tide.
It felt like the bustling crowds at famous tourist spots during the May Day and National Day holidays.
Before long, a massive crowd had gathered, filling the vast village square.
Apart from the "boundary line" where the two guilds faced off, the square was packed with people.
The onlookers, eager for a show, began to egg the guilds on:
"We’re all here, when are you going to start fighting?"
"Hurry up! Sky Slash Guild, you have more people, you go first!"
"Exactly, don't be cowards! You want to be the top guild? You need to show your mettle in this battle! No one wants to join a cowardly guild."
"Beer, soft drinks, mineral water, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and eight-treasure porridge!"
Sky Slash Sword had not expected so many players to show up for the spectacle.
Seeing the vast, expanding crowd, even he, a seasoned leader, felt a bit uneasy.
But Sky Slash Sword knew he had to do something.
He had about five to six hundred players under his command, while the Imperial Blood side had only about three hundred. If he delayed any longer, it would indeed give the onlookers the impression that he was "cowardly," which would not bode well for future recruitment.
So, Sky Slash Sword cleared his throat and stepped out from his team.
He called out to the other side, "Imperial Blood Slaughter! You’ve been impersonating our name and collecting fees at the village entrance. How do you plan to settle this?"
The onlookers, upon hearing Zhan Tianjian speak, knew that things were about to get serious. They immediately stopped chatting and entered spectator mode, causing the noise level at the scene to drop significantly.
Dixue Shitian, clearly well-prepared, also stepped out from the crowd and calmly responded, "You know very well about your own dirty deeds! I just have one question: Why did you frame Brother Zhenhong to blame the innocent Mu Yun Guild?"
"Haha! Frame?" Zhan Tianjian was so furious that he laughed. "It seems you really need to see the coffin before you shed a tear! I have ample evidence on my side."
Just as Zhan Tianjian was speaking, he suddenly stopped.
The sky had suddenly grown dark, and the once white sky was now filled with a large amount of blue and purple light. A massive shadow appeared behind the clouds!
"Look, what's that!" a player shouted, pointing upwards.
The other players also looked up at the sky.
Above them, a colossal dragon shadow pierced through the clouds and dove down, leaving all the players speechless.
At the same time, Su Yu's countdown for the "Annie's Revenge" quest reached 00:05.
Su Yu's expression grew serious, and he took two steps forward, standing closely beside the village chief.
The village chief turned around and gave Su Yu, the unfamiliar young man, a curious look.
However, his attention was also on the sky, and he did not drive Su Yu away.
The dragon shadow of the "Starchild Dragon King" Aurelion Sol rapidly grew larger in the players' eyes, becoming so massive that it was almost suffocating.
Starchild Dragon King Aurelion Sol
Level: ????
Health: ????
This was a four-clawed dragon shimmering with deep blue stardust, and its size was even larger than the entire square!
On its front claw sat a little girl in a red hood, the NPC Annie!
Annie's eyes blazed with fury when she saw Su Yu below.
"It's him!" Annie pointed at Su Yu and cast a Flame Mark on him.
A fiery red Flame Mark rose above Su Yu's head, revealing his position.
Su Yu was startled and quickly put on the prepared mask, ensuring that no player could see his face. Moreover, he was wearing a full set of leather armor, making it impossible for the two major guilds to recognize him.
The Starchild Dragon King glanced at Su Yu.
However, upon seeing the village chief standing beside him, the dragon hesitated slightly.
Due to the village chief's special status, it did not want to harm him, as that would cause significant trouble.
Deciding not to use its breath attack, the dragon carried Annie and quickly dove from the sky, its sharp claws aiming for Su Yu's position.
Su Yu seemed to be frozen in fear, standing still.
Just as the dragon's sharp claws were a few meters away from him, he let out a soft breath.
Flash!
Su Yu vanished in a flash of white light.
Boom!
The Starchild Dragon King's massive claw swept across the ground, creating a large, several-meter-wide gash.
By the feel of it, the dragon knew it had missed Su Yu.
However, as a proud dragon king, it would not attack a second time.
After giving Su Yu, who had teleported twenty meters away, a glare, it prepared to leave with Annie.
As for the village chief of Nolan Village, a gray, egg-shaped shield appeared around him when the dragon attacked Su Yu.
Since he was not the primary target of the Starchild Dragon King, the village chief remained unharmed.
