216: 1.3 billion players besiege the city
"Heehee, Master, when will you take Little Purity to Nuwas Miracles to play?"
After her quality improved, Little Purity's expressions became more vivid, lacking any of the dullness typical of a pet.
As she spoke, she hugged Xiao Xing's neck, her expression full of anticipation.
Nuwas Miracles was her hometown; she had always kept it in mind, hoping Xiao Xing would take her there to play.
"Give me a kiss and I'll take you."
Seeing that Little Purity was even more mischievous than Three-Year-Old Cute, Xiao Xing felt somewhat helpless.
She used to always burrow into his embrace before, but now she was even more excessive; he'd have to just not summon her.
Hearing his words, Little Purity didn't even think twice before giving him a firm kiss, her expression filled with joy.
Forget one kiss—even if Xiao Xing asked her to keep kissing him, she wouldn't hesitate for a second.
"Be good, Little Purity. I'll take you to play in a couple of days."
Xiao Xing comforted her for a moment, then looked at the virtual screen.
Players from various countries were restless; a large number of warships had begun to dock, and countless players were landing.
Their movements were observed clearly by Xiao Xing; the radar of a Divine-Grade intelligent lifeform could detect up to ten thousand miles.
Within this range, he could investigate anything at any time if he wished.
"Come on then, Little Purity happens to be in urgent need of leveling up."
Seeing the actions of the various countries, Xiao Xing was delighted.
These level 50+ players only provided 500+ experience each, but in large numbers, the experience would be very substantial.
Killing them would not only grant experience but also drop a large amount of equipment; he could then sell that equipment back to them and take their money.
You Lan's side had also discovered the situation.
Although she controlled the city's firepower System, there were simply too many players, and she was still a bit worried.
However, as soon as she thought of Xiao Xing, she felt at ease.
Xiao Xing must have seen the movements of the various countries; since he wasn't panicking, it proved that the other nations certainly couldn't take the city.
It was already midnight in the game, but the players watching the battle had no intention of logging off.
The most exciting moment was about to begin; they wanted to see if the You Lan Gang could withstand the onslaught of various nations.
Many hot-blooded Dragon players spontaneously came to the front of the city, intending to resist the foreign players together.
You Lan did not refuse them, organizing them all and distributing them around the city to prepare for the foreign players.
After the monster siege ended, there was no longer a limit on the number of defenders, but You Lan only had over twenty million players.
Players from various countries continued to arrive, already exceeding one billion; without the city's rear firepower, they wouldn't be able to hold out no matter what.
In less than an hour, the players from various countries finished gathering—roughly 1.3 billion of them—and had completely surrounded the city.
They didn't act immediately, but waited for orders from their high-level commands.
"Everyone from Dragon, you'd better obediently hand over the city and stop making useless struggles."
Once the troops were assembled, Tyson from S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't waste time and stepped forward to shout.
They weren't afraid, but if they could reduce losses, that would be for the best.
After all, the opponent had many cannons, as well as atomic bombs and such; even if they took the city, they would surely lose many men.
As for letting the Dragon players go?
Don't even think about it, but they still had to put on a show; perhaps the opponent would surrender directly.
Once they took the city, the armies of various nations would press in later, leaving Dragon with no room for a comeback.
By now, everyone knew that playing the game could increase their strength; almost everyone in the world was playing, and even those with jobs in reality would log on at night.
Dragon had about a billion players, with at most 500 million online at once.
The players from other countries combined had at least 5 billion online at once; it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Hmph, this is our city, why should we give it to you?"
Before You Lan could speak, Three-Year-Old Cute spoke up angrily.
The city was established by Brother Jian Chen; these people clearly intended to rob it, so she was very angry.
Hearing Xiao Meng's words, You Lan reached out to comfort her, then looked at the players from the various countries and said:
"We are all adults, why say such childish things? If you want to fight, then hurry up."
She still had the fission bombs given by Xiao Xing, plus the city's defensive weapons; no matter how many people came, they wouldn't be able to break in.
She realized that although there were many foreign players, because of the crowded positioning, they couldn't all attack the city at once; the people in the back were just for show.
The players' strength was inferior to the siege monsters; coming in wave after wave was just feeding them. The tens of thousands of captured cannons alone could cause heavy losses to the various nations.
"Your Excellency Tyson, don't let them stall for time to prepare. Let's attack together."
Kawada and the others leading the Japan could no longer hold back.
They not only hated Jian Chen but also detested the Dragon players; it was practically an irreconcilable enmity.
"The slums of our India Country are more prosperous than Dragon's Magic Capital. They don't deserve this high-end city. Rob them!"
"That's right, the water of our Ganges is fragrant and sweet, far stronger than Dragon. They don't deserve this kind of city!"
...The Indians of India Country chimed in one after another.
When talking about their country, their expressions were extremely excited.
Even though their trains were still covered in people, they felt that was efficiency, the best in the world; after all, few countries' trains could pull so many people at once.
Hearing the Indians' words, the other countries couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
It was the era of Advanced high-speed rail now; these fools not only used trains to haul people but were also full of themselves.
Although Tyson and the others were disdainful, they didn't show it; they still wanted to use the Indians as cannon fodder.
After all, India Country had many players who could soak up a lot of fire; there was no need to fall out with them.
"Show your strongest power and attack together."
As the people from the USA spoke, the various countries began to set up artillery, preparing to attack the city.
Seeing this, You Lan didn't rush to order fire, but instead called out to Mu Yaner and the others.
Shortly after they flashed out, streaks of aurora lit up around the city.
This part of the world was instantly illuminated, accompanied by a series of loud bangs as over a dozen giant mushroom clouds rose.
In a few breaths, the players of various nations suffered heavy casualties, but they did not stop their actions.
More people kept coming from the rear, setting up various cannons to attack the city walls.
However, they soon discovered that there was an invisible energy shield protecting the city walls, which the cannons couldn't break through at all.
Seeing this situation, the various countries began to feel a bit timid.
They weren't afraid of death, but if they couldn't break the defensive shield, dying in vain would be meaningless.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! The shield definitely needs a lot of energy. With so many of us attacking, we can easily deplete its energy."
The high-level officials from the USA in the rear continued to command.
The players from these other countries were all cannon fodder; they didn't care how many died.
Once the various countries exhausted the city's firepower, the USA's main army would move out and seize the city.
"I really admire your courage. Here is your reward."
Xiao Xing suddenly appeared in the USA's ranks and casually tossed a fission bomb over.
