Chapter 1094: Declaration Of War

“???”

“Old Bull, are you sure?”

Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, everyone looked at Wang Yu doubtfully.

Everyone acknowledged Wang Yu’s strength. However, as overpowered as Wang Yu was, he was still just a player. Against an opponent like the City Guards which were the law enforcers, it still simply wasn’t enough.

Even though Wang Yu had the status of Twilight City’s City Lord, he couldn’t possibly cross command the city guards of another city, thousands of miles away from Twilight City.

This was simply illogical.

Wang Yu faintly smiled and said, “Of course I’m sure!”

Following Wang Yu’s words, a system announcement suddenly reverberated through the air.

<System notification: Twilight City City Lord, Iron Bull, has declared war with Sky Dragon City… raising the curtain to the scene, “Conquering the Heavens”>

Upon seeing the system’s announcement, the people from Quan Zhen Sect all came to realisation.

As the only players that had experienced the City Wars, the players from Quan Zhen Sect naturally knew of the rules behind this war. City Wars were a battlefield meant for players, the city guards were third parties in such a battle, and would not need to work during this period of war.

Otherwise, there was simply no need for the players themselves to defend the city. As long as these city guards were placed to defend the four main gates of a city, even if the Holy Lord or the Demon Lord were to come down themselves, they still probably wouldn’t be able to break past these gates.

The reason why Feng Yun Realm and gang decided to retreat back into the city was probably because they wanted to abuse their authority over the city guards to deal with the people from Quan Zhen Sect as well as Apocalypse.

However, never in his wildest imaginations would Feng Yun Realm have thought that Wang Yu would directly declare war against Sky Dragon City, causing the city guards of Sky Dragon City to immediately lose their value.

After the announcement repeated three times, the players that were still online at this timing were momentarily stunned.

D*mn, could this be the legendary City War? Who would have thought that there would be such a good show to watch at this timing. For a moment, those players that were initially bored and gloomy were immediately energized.

On the other hand, the moment the players in Sky Dragon City heard the announcement, they were all stunned silly. Why would someone decide to attack their city all of a sudden? That’s too abrupt!

At this time, all of the players from Sky Dragon City started discussing the city that had declared war against Sky Dragon City.

“F*ck! Someone declared war with us? Speaking of it, why does Twilight City sound so familiar?”

“Bullsh*t! It’s the city that single-handedly resisted the attack from both the Light Faction and numerous other cities. I’m sure you’ve heard of Iron Bull, the one that they call the number one Pugilist player in all of <Rebirth>. I heard that he could take down an entire city by himself!”

“Sii…”

The moment the players from Sky Dragon City knew of how fierce their opponent was, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

Originally, at this timing, apart from those stay-home hardcore gamers, most of the players would have already gone to sleep.

Furthermore, Sky Dragon City had just experienced a City Siege recently, and had suffered serious player casualties. What was initially a player count of over a few tens of thousands of players had dropped to just ten thousand… a large portion of the players that remained were poor and couldn’t afford to shift cities.

Upon hearing that they were up against such a strong opponent, the players from Sky Dragon City frantically logged off to avoid this disaster.

This was especially so for the players from Apocalypse. Upon hearing the system’s announcement, they were all stunned silly.

Just a moment ago, they were helping Quan Zhen Sect take down Heavenly Alliance. Now that Quan Zhen Sect was declaring war against their own city, weren’t they considered betrayers then?

There weren’t many methods that players could use to force another player to jump ship and betray their own kind. For a player to become a betrayer, even in a game, was an extremely shameful act.

For a large guild like Apocalypse that placed a huge importance on its image, this was intolerable. As the guild leader of Apocalypse, upon hearing this news, his face became extremely black.

Infuriated, he stomped in front of Fearless and scolded, “F*cking hell, Fearless old dog, daddy here helped you take down Heavenly Alliance and yet you stabbed me in the back?”

“Are you f*cking blind? Which eye of yours saw me stabbing you in the back? If you have the guts, go and confront Old Bull himself!” Fearless chided him back.

“This…”

Nine Solitary Spears gazed at the direction in which Fearless was pointing towards and saw Wang Yu’s figure. At this moment, his heart froze, and the anger he felt immediately subsided a great deal. He carefully said to Wang Yu, “Bull… Bull God, it’s a little unreasonable for you to do this.”

“Unreasonable? What’s unreasonable?” Wang Yu raised his eyebrow and asked him back.

Nine Solitary Spears explained, “At the end of the day, I’m still considered a citizen of Sky Dragon City. My fight with Apocalypse was merely a fight for power within the city. With your declaration of war, it would place my guild’s reputation in an extremely bad light.”

What Nine Solitary Spears said was right. Apocalypse and Heavenly Alliance were both guilds from Sky Dragon City, and could be considered as brothers from the same mother… even though they may fight with each other on normal days, that was their own private dispute. If there was an outsider attempting to attack their city, they would still have to cooperate to defend their own city. Otherwise, they would be despised by others.

Obviously, as long as Feng Yun Realm labelled Apocalypse as the guild that cooperated with outsiders to take down their own city, the label of a betrayer would stick to the guild.

At that time, the reputation of Apocalypse amongst the other guild would be extremely poor.

After all, there was never a good outcome for a betrayer.

“Oh, so it was regarding this matter… it’s simple.” Wang Yu smiled and said, “My goal is to teach Feng Yun Realm and his gang a lesson, I have no interest in your Sky Dragon City.”

Even though Wang Yu may be slightly lacking in his interpersonal skills, he was still an intellectual individual and could naturally guess what Nine Solitary Spears was saying.

If Wang Yu took over Sky Dragon City under the help of Nine Solitary Spears, Apocalypse would forever be branded as a traitor in the eyes of the other players.

However, if the goal was to simply deal with Feng Yun Realm and not the city, it would be a completely different matter altogether.

Compared to Nine Solitary Spears, Feng Yun Realm was simply a nameless character in Sky Dragon City. Now that a minor character had taken over the role as Sky Dragon City’s City Lord, there would naturally be many players that were dissatisfied with it.

Thus, it would be perfectly normal and within reason if Apocalypse were to stand out in opposition against this… As long as Sky Dragon City did not fall into the hands of an outsider, this was a desirable outcome in itself.

For example, glorious words like, “Nine Solitary Spears reclaimed Sky Dragon City from the filthy city thief, Feng Yun Realm, with the help of Quan Zhen Sect.” would be spread throughout the city.

“Real… really?” Upon hearing Wang Yu’s promise, Nine Solitary Spears asked in excitement.

“Of course!” Wang Yu nodded and said, “The position of City Lord should have been yours in the first place. It was just that due to certain circumstances, the title was taken away by Feng Yun Realm.”

“That’s great!” Nine Solitary Spears cupped his fist and said. However, his excitement soon died down as he said, “In order to attack a city, our numbers are definitely not enough.”

“Heng, heng!” At one side, Fearless coldly smirked and said, “Just today, we made our rounds in your Sky Dragon City and found out that the number of players in your city was obviously lower than that of other cities.”

“This.” Nine Solitary Spears embarrassingly said, “Sky Dragon was besieged not long ago, thus most of the players had left the city long ago.”

“That’s even better. Apart from your guild that has over ten thousand players, are there any other guilds that have a larger player count?” Fearless asked.

After thinking about it for a moment, Nine Solitary Spears answered, “Peerless Heaven, the guild that specialised in mining materials.”

Peerless Heaven was a group comprising of professional players. They usually did not bother themselves with what was happening outside and whole-heartedly focused on mining. Whether the city was under siege or not did not matter to them. Thus, this group of players had decided to stay in Sky Dragon City.
