Chapter 707: All Tier 6 Players
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In fact, players were quite well-informed. When representatives from various countries gathered towards the Elven Silvermoon Holy City, they had already pieced together the clues through various channels and methods and roughly figured out the situation.
But compared to Ji Chen, who was at the center of the events, what they knew was still not the most comprehensive.
Ji Chen opened the forum and began writing the latest post after several months.
“Dear players, I am the Islander, also known as Ji Chen. Some people already know my identity, but some still do not, but that doesn’t matter much anymore.
In a journey to the southern seas of the Western-Mid Ocean a month ago, I inadvertently discovered demons in a semi-enclosed sea area…”
The post recorded the actions from the discovery of the demonic invasion, returning to the territory, going to the Northern Continent by airship, arriving at the Elven Silvermoon Holy City, persuading Laphia to convene various kingdoms and forces, and a series of actions similar to those discussed at the meeting, reflecting the results of the events truthfully.
“…it can be said that the demonic invasion has become a fact. Please do not treat this evil race with any luck or contempt. They once started a war tens of thousands of years ago, causing devastation to this world, with only one in ten surviving. Their brutality far exceeds our imagination. Once we let our guard down, the consequences will be like the Wood Elves, who became sacrifices.
During this time, everyone must develop their strength as much as possible and be adequately prepared for the impending anti-aggression war.
Finally, I wish you all the best of luck in battle!”
After finishing the post, Ji Chen sent it out.
At the same time, tens of thousands of players suddenly received a reminder in the background. They put down their work and clicked curiously, only to find that it was a post notification from the Islander.
It had been several months since the Islander last posted.
At that time, countless players were still exploring this world, especially players in the Western-Mid Ocean region, who were still confused about this world. The Islander posted a series of survival and strategy guides, greatly assisting these players who had no survival experience and did not know how to manage their territories, helping them through the initial difficult times.
This was when the Islander gained his initial reputation.
Therefore, even though he had not posted for several months, many people still added the Islander to their notification list, paying attention to whether he would post anything valuable again.
As the players clicked on it, they were surprised to see the post title “Regarding the Demon Invasion”, and when they read the first line of the post content, they were even more shocked.
What the heck! The Islander is Ji Chen?
The Islander’s identity was mostly known in chat rooms, forums, and around the Maple Principality, while Ji Chen’s identity was spread among players in Lienhardt, the Bass Kingdom, and other regions along the northwest coast of the Central Ocean. These two identities were essentially separate and unrelated.
But they both had one thing in common—extremely powerful strength.
The former had high prestige and demonstrated strong power in multiple events and activities. The latter was hunted by numerous bounty players during the early stages of the two-country war and repeatedly defeated the Bass Kingdom, demonstrating his strength with solid achievements.
Many players had compared the Islander and Ji Chen, speculating who would win if they faced each other. This topic had sparked quite a debate, but Ji Chen was too busy with things at the time to notice.
And now, telling them that the two were the same person?
Was this some kind of joke?
But the players were soon drawn in by the following content. After reading the post, everyone’s expressions changed compared to before.
Solemn, bewildered, panicked, fearful…
“Demon invasion? You mean that evil race from the God War tens of thousands of years ago?”
“How come I remember demons being suppressed in the Abyss of Chaos? How can they come out again? Where are the orderly gods? Help us!”
“Damn it, I knew there was something unusual about the bustling activity in front of the Elven Silvermoon Holy City a few days ago. Gathering so many orderly races, it turns out they were discussing this matter. I feel like this world is doomed.”
“I knew this damn world wouldn’t stay peaceful for long… From now on, I’m going all out to buy resources and strengthen my military power!”
Through the exchange and communication of information among players, the authenticity of the content in Ji Chen’s post was quickly confirmed, and they immediately began to prepare for war.
Exactly how strong are the players?
This was a difficult question to fully comprehend. Perhaps only the beings who brought players into this world could fully understand.
However, Ji Chen knew that players were a tremendous force that could be leveraged.
After months, approaching a year of development, the strength of players had increased manifold. Now, most players’ units were around Tier Four, with some particularly strong ones even possessing Tier Five units, numbering in the hundreds to thousands.
Initially, it appeared that players’ strength couldn’t compare to that of demons. After all, even the demon-infected servants had Tier Four strengths while demons themselves were Tier Five, not to mention other evil races like the evil orcs.
However, this data definitely ignored the sheer number of players.
Initially, one billion players entered this world. After some time, it’s estimated that roughly five hundred million remained, not counting the conservative estimate of two hundred and fifty million lord players who lost their territories.
