Chapter 1076: Villain and Hero

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After a while, someone called out that it was time, and the players once again gathered together and roared as they charged at the City Walls.

This time, the system side was already prepared. They did not leave the City Walls and continued to defend. Some soldiers had left, as they could not continue to keep all of the soldiers on the City Walls. Many of them had not eaten because the player army had wasted almost an entire day of their time.

They felt that this army was just a fake army that did not dare to actually attack; they were just here to harass them.

Seeing that the City Lords had not responded after they had charged halfway, the person commanding the player army shouted, “Charge closer! Anyone who charges near the City Walls before retreating will be rewarded ten silver coins!”

“Kill!!” Hearing that there was a bonus reward, everyone felt incredibly excited and charged forwards with an even more ferocious aura.

This gave the system side a big fright, and all of the soldiers immediately gathered on the City walls, ready for a big fight. However, the players once again retreated.

“I’m so angry! How about we just charge out and fight them! Kill all of these damn players!” a City Lord said angrily. He had had enough of this repetitive harassment and humiliation.

The elder immediately said, “We can’t! There were 20 or so City Lords hidden within that army, and this is clearly a trap. If we charge out, we’ll definitely fall into their trap and suffer heavy losses.”

When they thought about that, everyone could only hold in their anger. If they just endured it a bit more, it would be over.

However, what they did not expect was that the next few days would nearly anger them to death.

During those days, the army continuously harassed them and even issued challenges, calling everyone in the Cities cowardly turtles who could only hide. They said that the Cities did not dare to fight and were trash.

This made the City Lords feel incredibly angry, and they were now even more certain that this was a trap and that they could not go out.

These people were like a group of flies, continuously annoying and harassing them. These City Lords had suffered for many days, and they felt that their heads were going to explode.

What they didn’t know was that if they rushed out, Zhao Fu’s fake army would immediately scatter. They were all here for money, and it was easy money without fighting. If there was any danger to their lives, they would immediately run.

However, Zhao Fu had also prepared other plans. If these people charged out, Zhao Fu would attack the City.

Zhao Fu was using his faction from the Darkwater Continent, so this would not be a violation of the Contract. As such, there would be no problem.

“Is there anything we can do about these despicable players? I can’t take it anymore. I want to rush out and kill them all. I’m going to die of anger!” a City Lord yelled angrily.

The other City Lords also looked quite furious; they desperately wished to go out and slaughter that player army, but it was extremely dangerous outside. If they went out, they would be finished.

Just as the City Lords were suffering, a letter filled with a gentle light was delivered to them.

This was naturally from the Darkwater Continent, and reading that letter, they felt quite moved.

A young man smiled as he said, “What do you all think about going to the Darkwater Continent? System City Lords are in charge over there and are madly suppressing players. If we go, we won’t be harassed by players anymore, and it’ll be us suppressing players instead.”

Another City Lord nodded in agreement, saying, “I think we should. Over there, the world belongs to system factions like ours, and it should be a good place to stay. Didn’t we originally gather together for safety? Now that this place isn’t safe anymore, we should move to the Darkwater Continent.”

“Yes, yes! This is the best plan. We can’t afford to fight those players outside, so we can only hide. I agree to go to the Darkwater Continent,” another City Lord said.

After discussing, the City Lords decided to relocate to the Darkwater Continent together.

However, with so many players outside, it was difficult for them to do anything. Worst came to worst, they might be attacked while relocating.

They felt quite insecure, and someone suggested, “Since we’ve decided to join the Darkwater Continent’s faction, we’ll be part of them in the future. How about we ask them for help? From this, we’ll be able to see their attitude towards us. If it’s good, going there will definitely be better than staying here. However, if their attitude isn’t so good, we’ll think of another way and not go to the Darkwater Continent.”

Everyone else nodded, feeling that this was quite a good plan.

Following this, they sent a reply letter, and the Darkwater Continent’s faction immediately responded. The next day, they sent people over, shocking the City Lords; they had never thought that the Darkwater Continent’s faction would value them so highly.

Moreover, those people were incredibly passionate and made all sorts of promises as if they were the hosts here and the City Lords here were the guests.

Seeing that the other side valued them so much, the ten City Lords were naturally quite happy and reassured, and they felt that they had made the right decision in joining the Darkwater Continent’s faction. What they did not know was that Great Qin was the mastermind behind all of this.

With the Darkwater Continent’s people here to cover them, they did not have to worry about the players, and they were able to peacefully relocate.

Following this, even more people from the Darkwater Continent arrived to help them with their relocation.

The player army once again pretended to charge a few times, but they were scared back by the Darkwater Continent’s people. This allowed everyone to feel incredibly safe, and they no longer worried about anything.

After coming to the Darkwater Continent and seeing how everyone lived in harmony and unity, the ten City Lords were even happier. They had never thought that things would be so good, and they regretted not coming earlier. However, they did not know what they would face in the future.

This was all part of Zhao Fu’s plan, playing both the villain and the hero, using those harassment methods to force those City Lords to hand themselves over to Great Qin.

Of course, Zhao Fu didn’t spend one billion gold coins to hire just those people. He did the same thing in many different places, continuously harassing the system main cities.

As for the larger system factions, Zhao Fu did not dare to go and do the same to them because they had great strength, it was possible for him to lose control over the situation. Therefore, Zhao Fu mainly focused on some smaller factions in remote areas.

It was easier to make a move against such factions, as they were smaller and had no support. When faced with situations like this, they had no way to deal with it.

When the Darkwater Continent threw out an olive branch, most of them quickly agreed to join, causing the Darkwater Continent’s system faction to grow bigger and bigger.
