But what made the members of the Wasteland Guild collectively gasp in astonishment were the bodies that covered every inch of the ground. The casualties of the Wasteland Guilds soldiers, combined with the previous army of Wu Luns, had reached over forty thousand in this nameless town.

This number was roughly equivalent to the population of an ordinary small town.

However, as they scanned their surroundings, they couldnt spot the player named Ji Chen. Instead, they saw the vague silhouettes of sea clan soldiers scattered among the ruins of buildings.

I estimate that this player named Ji Chen has at most six thousand units hidden within this wreckage.

As the mist dissipated, members of the Wasteland Guild relied on their experience to estimate the enemys troop size. However, as soon as these words were spoken, they were left speechless in astonishment.

Motherf.u.c.ker, six thousand players attacking and annihilating forty thousand soldiers, four entire divisions, it had to be said that Ji Chens army was truly formidable.

Although the distance was too great to discern the specific attributes of these diverse sea clan soldiers, the sight of their bodies, as if drenched in blood, sent a s.h.i.+ver down their spines.

This army was undeniably powerful!

Guild Master, should we initiate artillery fire in advance to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy before they deploy their troops?

Zunong frowned and shook his head.

We dont have much time left. Another army from the Kingdom of Ba.s.s is already on its way to Feiguang City. If we cant deal with Ji Chen quickly, we might miss the siege, and we cant afford the consequences of that.

Moreover, if the Kingdom of Ba.s.s sees that we havent resolved this issue for so long, they may start to question our competence, which could be detrimental to the guilds future development.

His trusted aide nodded in agreement. The reason why the Wasteland Guild had grown to its current stature, possessing various resources that other guilds lacked, was all thanks to the support from the Kingdom of Ba.s.s.

Without that support, their situation would plummet.

Zunong gazed at the now-exposed town in the distance, suppressing the shadows of doubt in his heart, and gave the order.

All bed crossbows and catapults, smash them with all your might!

Deploy the remaining three units of crossbowmen, two units of elemental mages, and two units of longbowmen, for continuous suppression and cover fire, keep the enemy pinned down!

Have other members send out their elite units, along with one unit of heavy infantry as the vanguard. We must ensure Ji Chen is trapped within this town! Yes!

His trusted aide respectfully nodded and hurried off to make the arrangements.

In Zunongs eyes, a hint of determination and ruthlessness flickered.

This time, he was truly going all out.

The minotaurs, blood wolves, heavy infantry, and crossbowmen previously sent out were collectively owned by the guild, recruited and supported with guild a.s.sets.

So even if they died, it wouldnt cause too much heartache among the members.

However, the other force of the Wasteland Guild consisted of the private armies belonging to individual members. These elite troops, personally recruited and maintained by members themselves, were the true core of their strength and the guilds true reserve.

The clarion call of war resounded once more.

One after another, diverse formations of thousand-member units marched forth. High-level vampires, advanced werewolves, heavy-armored halberdiers, Wasteland giant wolves, fire elemental creatures, and ogre-like beings

Fourth-tier units were plentiful, and the combat power of these organized fourth-tier units was no less than that of the regular army of the Kingdom of Ba.s.s.

Each bed crossbow was drawn taut, launching hundreds of finely-crafted iron bolts into the sky, which plummeted down with enough force to penetrate rock. The trebuchets, on the other hand, rained stones upon the abandoned town like a celestial shower, further shattering the already dilapidated buildings.

Companies of crossbowmen and longbowmen fired in unison, sending forth a swarm of arrows, vowing to fill the entire ruins with projectiles.

Similarly, elemental mages held their staves high, sending dozens of fireb.a.l.l.s soaring together.

Faced with such a concentrated barrage, even the well-defended Naga Guardians dared not confront it head-on. They sought refuge among the ruins, and other units cautiously hid behind cover, waiting for the bombardment to cease.

Under the cover of such overwhelming firepower, a legion of heavy infantry and numerous elite thousand-member units spread out across the gra.s.sland, advancing toward the small town.

Seeing that the enemy, under the relentless bombardment, couldnt even lift their heads, Zunong nodded in satisfaction.

A hint of triumph gradually crept into his expression.

In the face of absolute power, nothing could halt their advance!

Their previous failures were simply due to their lack of vigilance.

Next, he intended to make Ji Chen, although they had never met in person, understand the might of the Wasteland Guild and the irreconcilable enmity they had incurred.

A few minutes ago.

Inside an abandoned seaside church at the rear of the small town.

Ji Chen gazed through shattered gla.s.s windows, observing as the mist that had enveloped the surroundings slowly dissipated under an unusually strong wind, a trace of surprise flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

Lord, it seems the enemy guild has used some wind-based magic to forcibly disperse the mist, Alice deduced after inspecting the situation outside.

Ji Chen nodded without denial and pondered for a moment.

Without the cover of the mist, well be vulnerable to the enemys powerful long-range firepower. Moreover, the enemy wont miss this opportunity and will likely deploy more troops and even more elite units.

Send my command: have our troops retreat behind cover to avoid incoming fire and be ready to counterattack any advancing enemies. If necessary, fall back into the ocean.

Except for the Naga Legion and Dragonblood Legion, all others should immediately return to the sea, awaiting my next orders.

If it werent for the need to engage the players from the Kingdom of Ba.s.s, Ji Chen wouldnt have risked placing the Ocean Crown army, which should be fighting in the sea, in a precarious land battle.

He stood here, like a piece of sweet-scented cake, aiming to attract as many enemy players as possible to this small peninsula and persist until players from the Lienhardt Grand Duchys camp arrived.

Just now, he learned from the forum that the Kingdom of Ba.s.s has increased the reward for the bounty from five million gold coins, one million rare resources, and ten 2-4-star treasures to twenty million gold coins, five million rare resources, twenty 2~4-star treasures, and one 5-star treasure.

Such a generous bounty, as he expected, immediately sparked a wave of discussions.

Countless players were curious about who this player named Ji Chen was and how he could make the Kingdom of Ba.s.s offer such a high price to have him killed.

Naturally, with the increase in the bounty, many players who had not originally planned to get involved in this matter started to consider it.

Especially the players from the Ba.s.s Kingdom camp, they rushed to the front lines in groups.

But this made the players from the Leinhardt camp extremely anxious. They needed some time to reach Feiguang City, and the problem was that they didnt even know Ji Chens forum username, so they couldnt contact him at all.

Moreover, under the threat of the Wu Luns group, there was no leak in the information about the battle here, which made them extremely anxious, wis.h.i.+ng they could grow two more legs for a faster journey.

Because the Leinhardt Grand Duchy also issued a special commission to them.

[Special Commission]

[Commission Content]: Rescue the player [Ji Chen] at all costs.

[Commission Reward]: One hundred million gold coins, ten million units of rare resources, one 6-star treasure, the lords.h.i.+p and control of a town, honorary t.i.tle,

[Note]: All losses in this rescue operation can be compensated.

When they saw the reward, they all went crazy.

One hundred million gold coins!!

Ten million units of rare resources!!

The lords.h.i.+p and control of a town!!

Even the ability to compensate for all losses during the operation!

What did Ji Chen do to make the Leinhardt Grand Duchy willing to spend so much to rescue him!?

Could it be that he hooked up with the daughter of the Grand Duke!?

At this moment, even the players who initially just wanted to watch the show couldnt sit still, and they immediately led their own armies to the front lines.

Release that man and let me handle it!!

The impact brought about by the protagonist of a bounty that affected two nations and tens of thousands of players was by no means limited to this..
