Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Sparks Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Sparks When the United Army, formed by two Lords and players, arrived at Gryphon City, the defending soldiers on the city walls were already prepared for battle.
The Gryphon Lord stood at the front of the formation, looking somberly at the people on the walls. He didn't say a word, for saying anything now would have been self-humiliating.
Since these people had chosen to surrender, they were unlikely to change their minds. Saying more would only turn them into a laughingstock.
However, the desolation in his heart was hard to suppress; it was clear that most of the defense forces had chosen to surrender.
The players were also amazed, eagerly anticipating the upcoming duel that would stir the winds of change, all feeling quite pleased.
At the same time, they were somewhat anxious, hoping that it wouldn't be an NPC from their own faction; otherwise, they would have no chance to earn military merits.
“Won't the Lord who has taken over Gryphon City come out and meet us?” Lord Black Heart shouted loudly.
“It's exciting, everyone pay attention–the mastermind behind this event is about to appear,” Xiaoya said quickly, her eyes constantly scanning the city walls.
The audience was also very expectant; the individual behind this grand event had indeed been formidable. They were extremely curious, especially those who had watched through the night, and were eager to know the outcome.
“What's the matter, does your new Lord not even dare to show his face?” the Gryphon Lord also said, “As I thought, you Lords only know how to scheme behind the scenes. Congratulations then, from now on, you'll live like sewer rats, hiding in the underground drains.”
The people on the wall glanced subconsciously at Li Yao, who was leisurely sitting at the back drinking wine. Li Yao smiled slightly and stood up.
The soldiers in front of him parted to make way, and Li Yao's figure slowly emerged at the forefront of the city walls, leisurely swirling his wine glass.
“What a grand array set before me. So much effort to come to my Gryphon City–is this to celebrate for me? Had I known, I would have expanded the feast. Alas, as a newcomer I am unfamiliar with local customs, please forgive my rudeness,” he said.
Ah pff…
The Gryphon Lord was so angry he could almost spit blood, and the others looked at Li Yao speechlessly, the scene falling into utter silence.
“Damn it, who exactly are you? And this is my Gryphon Castle,” demanded the Gryphon Lord, nearly overcome by rage.
“Is that so? That was in the past; now it belongs to me,” Li Yao said indifferently, even making a toasting gesture to the Gryphon Lord.
The Gryphon Lord was pointing at Li Yao, nearly shooting fire from his eyes. If Lord Black Heart hadn't grabbed him, he would have led the charge himself.
“Sir, I have never seen a Lord so secretive, hiding his face and not daring to show it,” said Lord Black Heart.
“Sorry, waiting for you bored me, so I put on my hood to rest a bit. Little did I expect you to start this racket,” Li Yao replied, removing his hood and cloak.
“Impossible, you're just a lowly chieftain, how could you possibly take down my city? Who exactly is your Lord?” asked the Gryphon Lord, incredulous.
“Holy shit, it really is him,” Niu Shan Pao exclaimed in shock.
Meng Ke and Lan Yan also found it hard to believe. Their thoughts were similar to those of the Gryphon Lord–Li Yao was merely an executor, how could he possibly be the mastermind behind the scenes.
A ghostly figure floated next to the Black Heart Lord and whispered something in his ear.
The Black Heart Lord suddenly realized, “Hahaha, what a joke, what a joke. My city ended up being destroyed by a coward who wouldn't even dare show their true face. You must have used something to disguise yourself, this isn't your real appearance.”
“You say you came to attack me, wouldn't it have been easier to just send troops? Each one of you is so curious,” Li Yao dispelled the transformation effect, his body gradually returning to its original form, while Star Shine's adorable figure popped out from his collar, constantly flying around Li Yao, full of curiosity as it eyed the crowd below the city walls: “But I'm always one to oblige. Before you die, I'll satisfy your little wish. Welcome to my Griffin City, guests of the Starfire Guild's Prairie Fire.”
Upon hearing Prairie Fire, neither lord nor their legions showed any particular reaction, but the players were boiling over. The audience was also in disbelief.
But Li Yao's figure clearly appeared in the live broadcast.
“My god, could it be that the one who destroyed Heart City, sparked a deadly battle between the two lords and countless players, then took advantage of the chaos to seize Griffin City was really Prairie Fire? This is, can players really be this powerful?” Xiao Ya's heart almost stopped.
At this stage, aside from some new alien players, few players did not know of Prairie Fire. He was now akin to a king without a crown, recognized as the champion of one-on-one combat.
When the war mode was introduced, Li Yao almost disappeared from the scene. While there were some Bug Race Troops, as players got their hands on higher-level legions, Li Yao's power wasn't taken seriously by anyone.
Now, many players were jumping out claiming Prairie Fire was past his prime, that once the war mode became mainstream his glory would fade. Starfire paid no heed to such talk, let them say what they wanted, and Li Yao didn't respond, eventually leading everyone to believe it was true.
But unexpectedly, Prairie Fire's appearance was such an earth-shattering event. This huge incident turned out to be orchestrated by another player, and it was successful.
In fact, after this occurred, many experts began to simulate scenarios. In their minds, the mastermind must possess a force stronger than that of the Black Heart Lord to succeed, but now…
The public chat exploded as if hit by a bomb, players were frantically expressing their disbelief. Forums and in-game discussions erupted as countless people flooded into Xiao Ya's and a few other lucky broadcasters' livestream channels, causing viewer numbers to explode.
Xiao Ya and the other broadcasters were so happy they felt faint, and many believed this would be their greatest moment of glory.
Who didn't know that Starfire Guild now had a dragon as their guardian beast, a topic that had people buzzing for days; a mix of envy, jealousy, and admiration.
The proudest moment for Starfire members now was to summon Star Shine in front of former friends or other players, becoming the center of attention.
“Damn it, I must be dreaming, I actually played with my idol for several days.” Lan Yan's eyes were sparkling: “This happiness came so unexpectedly.”
Niu Shanpao was fuming, “That damn bastard, I cursed Prairie Fire a hundred times in front of him and he even agreed with me every time, this is, this is… infuriating…”
“Bastard, you're courting death…” Lan Yan kicked Niu Shanpao away and then continued to stare at Li Yao on the city walls, the picture of a crazed fan.
After asking around, the Black Heart Lord learned about Li Yao's background.
“So you are the inheritor of a great leader, no wonder you caught the attention of a world-class leader. You've turned our place upside down while being only a junior lord, what a tactician. You couldn't possibly have more than one hundred thousand fighters; I'm very curious, how did you destroy my city?” the Black Heart looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao waved his hand, and the elegantly noble and slightly devilish Nicholas stepped forward, performing a nobleman's courtesy: “Lord Black Heart, it's been a long time indeed. How have you been these years?”…
