Within the Heavenly Dao, each individual's attributes naturally have their own inherent reasons for existence. Everyone only knows that suppressing levels enhances talent, but where do they know that after reaching a certain height, even greater opportunities await?
Ye Yun was not privy to the specifics of how Liu Langchen planned things. In any case, the message had been delivered, and it was up to him to seize this opportunity.
The fusion of the real world with the ghost race, the alien continents on Blue Star, and the potential invasion by other foreign races. The continuous attacks from the ghost race and the Nine Great Divine Cities on Fengle City in the game world, the development of the New Mortal Continent and the Bitter Sea Dragon Palace. With so many matters, how could Ye Yun have the time to guide them all?
Although Zhou Ningdong and the others could fully defend Fengle City, Ye Yun felt it was necessary to remain there for a period, as the attacks from the Nine Great Divine Cities were no trifling matter.
Ye Yun had learned from those three fellows that the previous attack was merely the result of their youthful ambition and a display of competitive spirit by a few young lords.
Just imagine, a mere display of ambition had drawn an army of nearly five million divine race soldiers. What would the true army of the Nine Cities Allied Forces be like when it descended?
How many native divine race members had Ye Yun slain in the Divine Realm? Combined with Wang Chen's kills, the number far exceeded one billion. And this was merely a drop in the ocean of the divine race population within the Divine Realm. One could only imagine how terrifying the native population of the Nine Great Divine Cities must be.
Unfortunately, apart from the divine race, Ye Yun still did not know how to enter the other eight great divine cities in advance. Fortunately, with the existence of the 'Divine City Evolution' quest, the powerful figures of these divine cities would be sending him money one by one.
Inside the game, on the eastern city wall, Mu Ziming took over the position of the defending general. The other high-ranking officials had all followed Wang Chen into the Divine Realm. Although Mu Ziming's innate skill required twenty-four hours to recover once, his current attributes and talent far surpassed those of the other three legion commanders, making him the natural choice to remain behind.
"Woody, what's the situation?" Ye Yun stood on the city wall, observing the new wave of battle. He then glanced at the three peculiar-looking individuals standing behind Mu Ziming and asked with some curiosity.
"Greetings, City Lord." Seeing Ye Yun, the three quickly bowed in greeting. They were none other than Ji Wumei, An Chenyu, and Xuan Yuan, individuals Ye Yun had captured. For some reason, they were now following Mu Ziming.
"Boss, in the past couple of days, I don't know if these bastards got scared or what, but the numbers coming over daily are only around forty to fifty thousand," Mu Ziming said, feeling rather wronged. He thought about his companions hunting endless divine race natives in the boundless Divine Realm while he was here, leading nearly a hundred thousand troops to capture mere tens of thousands.
He not only had to defend the east gate but also the west gate, which was being attacked by the ghost race. Fortunately, the ghost race's weekly challenges to Fengle City were strictly limited; otherwise, he would have been driven mad.
"Only forty to fifty thousand coming every day?" Ye Yun's eyes widened. This was utterly unreasonable. Previously, a single young lord came with an army of millions. Now that he had killed and captured these young lords, why would only such a small number come daily?
He knew that over a thousand divine race natives were arriving daily through the small teleportation array in his City Lord's mansion!
Ye Yun turned to look at the three of them.
"Uh, City Lord, I believe the Nine Great Divine Cities have formed an alliance. When we came last time, I heard from our elders that in addition to each divine city forming an army of ten million, they were also forming three large joint armies."
Xuan Yuan was no longer as defiant as before, and even volunteered to tell Ye Yun about their divine city's affairs.
"I also heard my father mention this. He told me to come here first as a precursor to the war, and that we must hold out for five days." Ji Wumei also shared what she knew. An Chenyu, on the other hand, remained silent. His status in his own divine city was significantly lower than the other two.
Alliance? And they had to hold out for five days?
Ye Yun was taken aback.
What in the world did this mean? It was one thing for each divine city to send out an army of ten million. But then there were three joint armies formed by the nine cities? How many troops would that be?
"To prevent the human divine cities from regaining their positions, in addition to the armies of the nine cities, the most crucial elements are the minor and medium-level factions that once plundered the human divine cities' 'Kui Bao.' Each of these factions possesses tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand private soldiers."
"If the human divine cities were to regain their positions, then the divine cities would exert a strong pull on these 'Kui Bao' that have existed for countless years. These factions cannot resist this pull. Therefore, they will inevitably dispatch their private armies to this place to completely obstruct any possibility of human resurgence."
An Chenyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, instantly resolving Ye Yun's doubts. Even Xuan Yuan and Ji Wumei looked at him with surprise. They were puzzled; even favored heirs like them did not know this information, so how did this fellow know?
The divine cities had united to cast Fengle City of the human race into the mortal realm precisely because of humanity's endless wealth and accumulation. During that period, there were tens of thousands of heirloom 'Kui Bao.' What drove them even more mad were the special structures belonging to humans. These structures were the targets of the top factions in the major divine cities, while the secondary 'Kui Bao' became the objects of competition for the smaller and medium-sized factions.
However, whether it was these special buildings or the 'Kui Bao,' they had been immersed in the human aura of the divine cities in Fengle City for countless years. The connection required more time to be cleared. Therefore, once Fengle City returned to its divine status, these items would be mutually attracted to Fengle Divine City, and the methods of those factions would not be able to retain them.
"In other words, these scattered individuals were sent by those minor and medium-sized factions?" Ji Wumei frowned, cursing internally. It would be better for these guys to unite and form a massive allied army than to come here and die.
Xuan Yuan had similar thoughts.
They were hoping Fengle City would be breached sooner so they could return to enjoy themselves.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun's head was spinning. Damn it, what did they call tens of thousands of troops "scattered individuals"? What would they call his four thousand formal members?
"How many waves of this kind of offensive have come in the last two days?"
"A total of sixteen waves, each with numbers ranging from thirty thousand to one hundred thousand. However, they were all annihilated by our four thousand Dragon Palace members, with a casualty rate of 1.8%. I don't know what they're thinking, perhaps they know our warriors have poor talent and are coming to give us money?" Mu Ziming said with a laugh, unaware that his words were like knives, stabbing at the hearts of the two behind him.
This time, the Dragon Palace members did not exchange the various stones they acquired for attribute points. Instead, they accumulated them all for the enhancement of their individual talents.
In two days, these fellows had accumulated quite a few stones. However, Ye Yun felt that with their current strength, there was no need to abandon attributes for talent. After all, they were still not invincible against these invading forces.
