Chapter 1 The Test Attack of Zong Heng Si Hai

Zong Heng Si Hai's probing attack, which had been triumphant for only a few seconds, was beaten down by attacks from both inside and outside the system. Thinking that eight hundred guild players were watching their actions from behind, Unsworn Sword stubbornly refused to issue a retreat order. Anyway, there was no loss in dying; everyone would fight to the last person.

Zong Heng Si Hai had no chance to advance. The suddenly appearing assassins were enough to keep them busy, and with the ranged attacks from the city walls, the two rows of infantry at the foot of the wall didn't even move. Zong Heng Si Hai's team was finally wiped out.

When Unsworn Sword came out of the resurrection point, he saw Wind Walker already waiting for him. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly complained, "When we were ambushed by assassins, why didn't you bring people up to support us?"

Zong Heng Si Hai hadn't exerted their full strength in this attack. Only archers and priests went out, and many melee members stayed behind to watch.

Wind Walker was also taken aback and said, "You didn't say anything!"

"I was too caught up in the situation. You should have seen the situation more clearly from the outside and made a decision at that time! Even if you weren't sure, you should have reminded me!" Unsworn Sword said.

Wind Walker didn't speak, thinking that Unsworn Sword had a point. Those in the formation might have been too focused on fighting and hadn't thought so much, but as the supervisor at the rear, he should have sent support at that time. The number of assassins who appeared wasn't that large. If Zong Heng Si Hai's melee professions could have lent a hand at that time, they wouldn't have been defeated in this wave of attacks.

Unsworn Sword sighed, feeling extremely regretful. Just then, Upstream Voice's voice rang in his ear: "Guild Leader Unsworn, hard work!!"

Upstream Voice estimated that Unsworn Sword was about to die, so he rushed to the resurrection point and arrived just in time. As for whether he was there to comfort or to watch the joke, only he knew. Although Unsworn Sword was annoyed, he would never show a dejected look in front of his competitors. Hearing Upstream Voice's voice, he immediately straightened his chest, tidied up his equipment, turned his head, and put on a solemn, businesslike expression: "Guild Leader Upstream, the system is really a bit difficult to deal with this time."

"Yes, we all saw it." Several guild leaders who came with Upstream Voice also had serious faces.

"Zong Heng Si Hai's trip wasn't a complete waste. We know that the catapults can attack like that, and the opponents even have lurking assassins. These things didn't appear in previous battles," said Cloud Herds the Enemy, the guild leader of the Mu Yun guild.

Unsworn Sword gave a grateful look to the guild leader who was speaking for him. He wasn't just someone who knew how to be angry with Upstream Voice. At this time, he also seriously analyzed the meager intelligence he had exchanged for his sacrifice: "If the catapults attack with the kind of gravel we just saw, I don't think we need to worry too much. With the support of the priests, we can last for a while. After we engage in close combat with the guards under the city, the catapults will definitely stop attacking, otherwise, no matter what kind of stone they use, they will hurt their own people."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

"Although we have 170,000 people, it's a complete failure to rush up in a swarm. The system may have anticipated the number of people in each main city's guild, so they arranged some targeted tactics. I suggest that we arrange manpower according to the size of the area, and try to spread out the formation. The surplus brothers can completely substitute from behind! When the brothers in front fall, the substitutes follow up. The fallen brothers should rush over from the resurrection point as soon as possible. If we keep circulating like this, I don't believe we can't break this city." As Unsworn Sword spoke, he actually came up with a good idea. Looking back, even he admired himself. He originally just wanted to casually analyze a few sentences to prove that although he died quickly, it wasn't a worthless death. But the more he spoke, the more ideas he had. This main force substitution system was really great.

Black Index Finger, who hadn't spoken much and seemed unaccustomed to his position as guild leader, suddenly sighed and said, "Everyone, in fact, our 170,000 is just a theoretical number. Specifically, I just asked someone to take a look, and most of our eight hundred guilds are elementary guilds. Some don't even have fifty people. Many level 30 players are mixed in, and some are wearing all white equipment. It's hard to say whether a considerable part of these 170,000 people can be counted as combat power in this battle. I think everyone has a preliminary impression of the strength of the system guards. They are quite powerful. I'm afraid none of you here dare to say that you are sure to win in a one-on-one fight, right?"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded. Unsworn Sword didn't speak. He had just had a one-on-one fight, and if it weren't for several priests supporting him, he would have really lost.

"However, I think Brother Unsworn's suggestion is still very good, but I think we should carefully investigate the personnel. Some people who are not strong enough should simply not participate in the battle, otherwise, it is likely to cause problems with our coordination," Black Index Finger said.

"That's true, but I don't know if these people will agree!" Unsworn Sword said.

As soon as he said this, the guild leaders sighed, all understanding the difficulty. People may be low level and weak, but they are still players, and they are equal to you Five Little Strongs. If they are willing to obey the arrangements and not cause trouble, they are sensible. But if they insist on participating in this city battle, there is really no reason not to let them play.

Black Index Finger smiled and said, "There are four gates in the main city. We will attack one gate, and the other three gates are still empty. Those who are unwilling to cooperate with us can go to the other gates to play. Isn't there already many guilds who are unwilling to cooperate and are trying to find their own way in other gate directions?"

Unsworn Sword and Upstream Voice were both moved. Black Index Finger's meaning was to streamline the personnel and eliminate all the slackers, but the hidden meaning seemed to be to concentrate the points in their hands! Anyone with a little knowledge could see that if they wanted to take down this city, everyone had to work together. A guild of thousands of people couldn't achieve anything on its own, not to mention that besides these five, Cloud City didn't have a guild with more than a thousand people.

"Don't worry, everyone, we can take care of this work. We Black Hand are from a mercenary group, and we know quite a few people," Black Index Finger said.

"What do you think, everyone?" Upstream Voice looked at the others.

Unsworn Sword realized why Upstream Voice had gathered some people to pick him up at the resurrection point. It was just to avoid too many people talking at once. Those who came were all guild leaders of major guilds. By avoiding those more small guild leaders, they could finalize the plan, and then those people could follow the orders, saving them from having conflicting opinions.

"I have no objection," Cloud Herds the Enemy took the lead in expressing his opinion. Then many other guild leaders agreed with Black Index Finger. After Unsworn Sword and Upstream Voice nodded, the matter was settled. Black Index Finger immediately left to gather manpower to conduct a detailed screening of the current manpower.

"Guild Leader Unsworn." At this time, Cloud Herds the Enemy didn't know when he had approached Unsworn Sword and pulled him.

Unsworn Sword could tell from his appearance that he had something to say, so he didn't answer but sent him a message: "What is it?"

"Don't you think that Black Index Finger is prepared?" Cloud Herds the Enemy said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"There are thousands of guilds in Cloud City, and we have gathered 820 here now. How many of the guild leaders of these 820 guilds can you name?" Cloud Herds the Enemy asked.

"This... probably only a few dozen!" Unsworn Sword replied, realizing it himself. Upstream Voice had discussed with him before, saying that he wanted to contact all the guilds in Cloud City, and Unsworn Sword also used his best efforts to mobilize. But the guild leaders he knew had to be at least level four or five guilds. How could he know those newly established elementary guilds? But most of these eight hundred guilds are small guilds. How did they get in touch? Who knows so many small guild leaders? Upstream Voice, or Black Index Finger? No matter who it is, the person who can gather so many fragmented guilds in an instant must have been prepared for a long time, at least they had prepared lessons at the guild building, and memorized the information of all the guilds and guild leaders in Cloud City. Willing to put in so much effort, they must want to make a big move in this city battle.

"This Black Index Finger dares to take on this job now, he must know the guild leaders of at least hundreds of guilds, right? Even if he is from a mercenary group, his connections shouldn't be to this extent, right? In fact, his so-called connections are similar to ours, that is, he is more famous, more people know us, but in turn, what we know is actually just that," Cloud Herds the Enemy said.

"Yes, you have a point. This guy seems to want to do something big," Unsworn Sword said.

"We have to be more careful," Cloud Herds the Enemy said.

"Well, I don't know if that kid Upstream Voice knows," Unsworn Sword said.

"It's hard to say, maybe they have already cooperated. Otherwise, who called so many small guilds at the beginning? You only know a few dozen, and I'm about the same, especially these small guilds, I can't call them," Cloud Herds the Enemy said.

"That's right, I really didn't notice this at the beginning," Unsworn Sword nodded repeatedly. He found that they, Zong Heng Si Hai, seemed to be too arrogant and didn't take others seriously after winning the confrontation and completing the quest chain. They also felt that the championship of this city battle was in their bag. Thinking that Upstream Voice or Black Index Finger, or they together, had made such detailed preparations for this city battle, Unsworn Sword felt very uneasy in his heart and really suspected that he had already fallen into some kind of trap. As soon as he thought of the trap, Unsworn Sword subconsciously wanted to find Han Jia Gong Zi again, but this time Han Jia Gong Zi did not appear with Upstream Voice.

Even if people don't appear, news can still arrive... Unsworn Sword pondered. Thinking about this matter in a good way and thinking about it in a bad way is actually the same. As long as you are willing, you can conjure up a bunch of things to comfort yourself or scare yourself.

The attack on the north gate was temporarily stalled. Upstream Voice also kept silent about the wave of probing that their guild still owed. Unsworn Sword wanted to see what this guy was planning, so he didn't say anything and pretended to disappear, quietly watching the changes, while constantly maintaining contact with Falling Reflections, seeing if there were any discoveries on that side, and at the same time letting him think about these details that happened here.

The player army didn't move, and Gu Fei and Jian Gui were bored to death. At this time, they were standing under the city gate and yawning repeatedly. They didn't make it in time for the first time to capture Bai Jia Hei, and the second wave of attacks was all from Zong Heng Si Hai. Bai Jia Hei didn't participate, and they were waiting for the third wave, but the players were slow to move.

"I guess they are thinking about how to deal with it. I don't think this city is easy to attack," Jian Gui said, "The gravel attack just now was really dense, there was no way to dodge it."

"It's just too fake. A head-sized stone falls from such a high city wall and hits the head, and people don't even die," Gu Fei said.

"You can't say that, the people in the game are not ordinary people, they are all warriors, strong and healthy. It's normal for ordinary people to be smashed to death," Jian Gui said.

"Well, that's right, I wouldn't die if it was me," Gu Fei thought he was not an ordinary person.

The players were slow to move. The two were discussing whether to find a way to sneak into the player crowd. The players would definitely not guess that the two of them were actually system spies. They were discussing when they suddenly heard "creaking" sounds from the gate next to them. The two turned into the gate and saw a person pushing a two-wheeled wooden cart, struggling to walk towards the gate. The closer they got, the more they could see each other's faces. They were both surprised.

"Little Lei!!!!!!" Gu Fei and Jian Gui said in unison.

In front of the two was Xiao Lei, the boss of Xiao Lei Tavern, the first celebrity in Cloud City to be famous throughout the parallel world. And Xiao Lei also recognized these two fierce generals of the elite team who had been occupying his tavern's private rooms for many years.

"Qian Li? Jian Gui?" Xiao Lei called out the two names with a look of surprise.

Jian Gui reacted more to the game. He immediately asked, "Are you also in a camp?"

Xiao Lei was stunned after hearing this: "How do you know?" But then a look of realization appeared on his face: "Are you two also in a camp, so you were left in the city for this city battle??"

"Yes! What camp are you in?" Jian Gui asked quickly.

"Commercial Trade Alliance. What about you two?" Xiao Lei asked.

"I'm Assassin Alliance, he... doesn't know," Jian Gui said.

"Doesn't know?" Xiao Lei was puzzled.

Gu Fei was embarrassed: "I joined in a daze, no one told me this was a camp beforehand! I didn't know who to ask afterwards."

"Xiao Lei, how did you join this camp?" Jian Gui asked. Although Jian Gui wasn't Brother You, he would also study the game settings, but he wasn't as obsessed as Brother You.

"I'm also confused. I was going to the Chamber of Commerce to take a quest, and suddenly they sent me a document saying that I was a member of the Commercial Trade Alliance," Xiao Lei said.

"Uh? Do you also do quests?" Gu Fei interjected, he was quite surprised, he thought Xiao Lei was permanently stationed at Xiao Lei Tavern 24 hours a day.

"Occasionally," Xiao Lei said.

"What are the camp rewards?" Jian Gui asked.

"The tax rate paid by the tavern is 20% lower than before," Xiao Lei said.

"This..." In Jian Gui's eyes, such a reward was naturally not even as good as garbage. Then he asked, "Are there any skills?"

"Skills? I chose a bartending recipe. What about Gong Zi? I haven't seen him for a long time." This was Xiao Lei's most unique place. Compared to everyone hating Han Jia Gong Zi, he really liked this person very much. Most tavern owners would be very fond of taverns.

"He... is outside the city now!" Jian Gui said.

"I'll come over when I have time! The new wine I made, only I have it in the whole city, even the system tavern doesn't have it," Xiao Lei said excitedly.

"Really?" Gu Fei echoed, patted the big wooden barrel on Xiao Lei's wooden cart and said, "What is this?"

Xiao Lei said: "Isn't this city battle going to divide the sphere of influence? I and several friends who also run shops in the city discussed it, and we felt that this sphere of influence would be closely related to our shop, so we also temporarily established a guild to participate in this city battle. As a result, when I went online today, I was thrown into the city alone. I couldn't find anyone everywhere, and when I sent messages to my friends, they all said they were hostile and couldn't be sent. Later, I ran to the Chamber of Commerce, and they sent me a quest, asking me to transport military supplies to the front."

"Military supplies? What is it?" Gu Fei patted the wooden barrel again, and while patting, he put his head close to listen to the sound, "It sounds like water."

"There's a lid," Jian Gui pointed to the barrel.

Gu Fei immediately went to lift it to see, Xiao Lei was anxious: "Hey, hey, it's a quest item, don't break it."

"How can it break with just a casual look," Gu Fei said while lifting it, but his face turned red, he let go and said, "I can't lift it."

Xiao Lei breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that these two guys would do something again, he pushed the cart and bypassed the two and said, "I'll send the things to the quest location first, and then I'll chat with you when I come back."

"Go, go!" Gu Fei waved his hand to let him go.

Xiao Lei pushed his wooden cart and walked away with a creak. Jian Gui suddenly said to Gu Fei, "I have a quest, Xiao Lei also has a quest, maybe your camp should also have a quest."

"Well, you're right. I don't know what's going on here, there hasn't been any movement for a long time, I'll go into the city to see if there's a quest," Gu Fei said.

"Well!"

Gu Fei said and went into the city again. His warrant was issued by the Wanted Mission Office. He thought that the camp and this organization should have some relationship. Gu Fei felt a little cold in his heart. His camp wouldn't be a jailer or a catcher, right? What kind of camp is this? It has no spirit at all. Six Doors? It's impossible to call it that in this game!

Gu Fei thought and went to the Wanted Mission Office. The familiar scene was still the same, but when he answered the NPC, the other party told him that this was a time of city survival, and they didn't have time to care about these petty crimes. He should quickly find something more meaningful to do.

Besides this place, Gu Fei thought about it, only the Main City Hall had any intersection with his quest, so he went to the Hall again. Ordinary players have no right to step into this field. Gu Fei was easily let go after showing his warrant. Gu Fei turned around in the hall, thinking of the incident in Xiawu City, that person, seemed to be a member of the guard team? Thinking of this, Gu Fei grabbed a guard, asked about the location of the guard team, and walked towards it.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Some students reacted that there was a calculation error before, and the guild was written as 82. Butterfly saw 820 guilds in his Word document. I don't know how a 0 disappeared. I declare here that there are 170,000 people and 820 guilds. 82 guilds are impossible, that would average 2,000 people per guild. The highest level six is currently 1,050 people. Even if 82 are all level six, that's only 80,000 people, not to mention that Cloud City only has five level six guilds. Also, please vote for the monthly ticket. In a blink of an eye, it's almost the 20th. Two-thirds of this month is about to pass. The competition in the game category is also fierce now.
