The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 256 - Being Moved For Nothing

Chapter 256: Being Moved For Nothing

The Evil King’s sneer and vow injected fear into every one of the Yuanxu Army’s soldiers.

In the past, they were full of confidence, as if their side would surely acquire Cangxu’s sovereignty.

However, they were now questioning themselves in their hearts. If there were more fearless warriors like these in the future, could they still win?

They might have won this battle, but they had lost as well. In terms of the mentality, they were the true losers even if they had a huge physical advantage in the battle.

As they stared at the Evil King cackling madly in the sky, Yuanxu’s expression turned sour once more.

This battle had a huge impact on his soldiers and it would certainly affect their mentality when both sides clashed again in the battle. Thus, this fact greatly infuriated Yuanxu.

“Yuanxu, I’m about to leave. Aren’t you going to stop me?” the Evil King turned his head around and grinned, trying to provoke Yuanxu.

Yuanxu did not speak but the anger was vividly portrayed through his eyes.

If the Evil King had dared to provoke him like this during his heyday, he would have captured him and found a place to seal him in.

However, his body was heavily weakened due to the countless battles that he had engaged in. Even if he wanted to stop the Evil King now, he was powerless in doing so.

“Then, I shall take my leave, hahaha!”

As he let out a mocking guffaw, the Evil King’s figure suddenly shrank as he turned into a stone statue and galloped southward.

This sudden war seemed to have reached its end.

“Are you trying to show off? Fine, you did it! But, I will never lose!” Yuanxu murmured to himself as he glared at the Evil King as he disappeared.

Then, he turned his head around to look at the soldiers below, who had lost their fighting spirit. There was only anger in his heart as he was forced to shout his order.

“Retreat!”

After the great battle ended, the players were watching the video playback in the Battle Online’s official forum.

In this battle, they had achieved unprecedented progress and had also successfully cast fear in the enemies’ hearts.

Although they lost the battle, the players considered themselves victorious because the enemy had become terrified of them.

Crayon_Shinchan: “Cool! Grateful that the officials promptly opened the expedition. Otherwise, without any place to release my anger, I’m preparing to go cut the Rock Ghost King.”

Little_Tree_Rock replied to Crayon Shin-chan: “Fucker, wait for me!”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “Exciting! It’s rare to see our army so united – the first time was Cha Na, then the Sea King, and this is the third time. I really hope that everyone will continue to be united. Unfortunately, conflicts always happen, one way or another. This is like what people always say, wherever there are people, there is bound to be trouble.”

Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers: “In any case, irrespective of our internal conflict, when the foreign enemy appears, we are brothers and comrades-in-arms. We are indestructible and invincible when we stand united!”

High_Ping_Warrior (Europe): “Yes, our two main servers may be rivals that compete with each other after this battle, but when there are foreign enemies, we will never point our long swords at our own people!”

Watermelon_Taro: “Long live the battle, tonight really got me pumped!”

Assassin_Creed: “Our army is invincible and Yuanxu is just a stop in our long journey, like a whetstone. Our battle will not stop at this. Brothers, let’s work hard!”

Star_Universe (Europe): “Brothers, good luck!”

Reinhardt (Europe): “Brothers, hang in there!”

Knight_Of_The_Abyss (Europe): “Brothers, let’s keep going!”

Lu Wu smiled as he read the players’ comments and couldn’t help but feel relieved at their response.

When Lu Wu saw the 23 warriors die for Hu He, even he was shocked to the core and felt furious about it.

He knew that what had happened was real. They had really used their flesh and blood to defend Hu He from Yuanxu.

So, when the players started to band together, he didn’t hesitate in opening the expedition link and allowed the players of Beiqi to join the battle.

Furthermore, this battle really shocked Lu Wu.

The players had again shown him that their potential was infinite.

The winner was frustrated because they had lost their fighting spirit, while the losing side had their fighting spirit high and was already looking forward to the future battles.

This was the vast difference between the Yuanxu Army and the players.

Indeed, this was what they were fervently discussing in the forum. Yuanxu was just a pit stop on their long journey, he was never the final destination.

After the battle had ended, Lu Wu deactivated the expedition of the battle between the Xian Xu and the Yuanxu Army. After all, it was supposed to be a test for the players of the European server, a whetstone to sharpen their skills and experience for their growth.

As for Beiqi’s players, they focused their attention on the Land of the Nine Luminaries, which would be the next location of their new journey.

The players never ceased to amaze Lu Wu, so he kept great expectations for them.

After the battle, at the Hidden Dragon Village…

A stone statue was seen emerging from a distance, before stopping in the village.

The Evil King’s heart was filled with emotions as he gazed at the surrounding buildings and empty streets.

This is a true Warrior Clan, it’s my pleasure to have them!

The Player Clan’s battle made his blood surge with excitement and was forever etched in his memories. Nonetheless, this battle had ultimately exhausted all the resources of this clan, so the Evil King’s heart was full of regret.

This was supposed to be my trump card!

The Evil King let out a heavy sigh as he stared at the sky. He dusted his sleeves and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed some movement in the village.

With a frown on his face, he immediately dashed over to the source of the sound.

When he arrived at the southernmost part of the village, the Evil King was dumbfounded.

He saw countless players walk out of a bright halo that looked like an altar.

“Stop pushing me, give way. Let me get out!”

“Fuck, is this serious, even the respawn point is in a gridlock. Make a path, you guys! The people are piling up behind here!”

“Can the brothers outside get out faster, it’s so packed in here! Do you guys want to make a wall out of human bodies?”

“I can’t breathe anymore! Make way, please! I want to get out of here!”

The Evil King was stunned as he watched the densely packed players emerge from the altar.

Then, he saw a familiar figure and immediately reached out to grab him. Li Xing, whose body was wedged in the crowd, was instantly pulled out from the sea of people by him.

“Why didn’t you die?” the Evil King was stunned as he looked at the familiar face, goggle-eyed.

Li Xing was also flustered to see the Evil King arrive so soon, but fortunately, he was well-prepared and said, “Oh, Lord Evil King, I died, but I respawned.”

“Respawn?”

“Yeah, our Player Clan has a special ability. After death, we can be resurrected in the clan’s altar. Every one of us has three lives!”

When the Evil King heard this, his expression turned deadpan.

You fucker! Then, all my touching moments were for nothing?

Nonetheless, there were many immortal abilities in the Underworld, but he had never heard about the ability to resurrect.

Although the Evil King was still confused, he waved his hand to draw out all the resurrected players that were piling in at the respawn point. In a flash, he reappeared at the front of the altar to examine it.

However, this altar was merely a piece of decoration and its resurrection ability was purely from the artifact, so there was no way the Evil King could differentiate it.

Hence, no matter how he studied, the only conclusion that he could come up with was that the altar was nothing more than an ordinary altar, without anything special to it.

The ability to respawn? That’s a terrifying skill!

The Evil King was utterly dumbfounded at this skill that was so unheard of.

Even though he was very curious about how this ability had come about, he had to let the thought go as he was not able to understand the mechanics behind the resurrection altar.

Nonetheless, the Evil King was very overjoyed.

Initially, he thought that he had completely lost his fearless army. To his bewilderment, they had actually respawned. The feeling of regaining what he had lost made the Evil King break into a peal of content laughter. He immediately came over to Li Xing and patted his shoulder.

“It’s great news that you can respawn, what great news indeed!”

The Evil King eyed Li Xing with gratification, a stark contrast to the scornful expression on his face during their first encounter.

Even though the Evil King discovered the secret reason behind the Player Clan’s fearlessness, he still considered them to be true warriors.

If these people had no courage, they would not have easily risked their life even if they did have three respawn opportunities.

This battle had proven the Player Clan’s unimaginable potential.

With their existence, it would be enough to deter the entire Yuanxu Army!

At that very moment, the Evil King was immensely confident that they would be able to eventually seize the throne.
