329: Chapter 329 Unforeseen Event 329: Chapter 329 Unforeseen Event Several days later, in the outskirts of the towering fortress city, at Xiao Wen’s command, everyone sprang into action.

They piloted the remaining mechas and began digging trenches in advantageous terrains and constructing fortresses while using boulders found nearby to create temporary defensive lines.

“Everyone, put your backs into it!

The final battle is upon us, for the Sky Dragon Guild!!!”

Lin Yue rallied the troops with encouragement as she inspected the pre-battle preparations.

“Understood!”

The morale of the troops was exceedingly high, with every person giving their all.

In the distance, a mechanical legion advanced swiftly like a tide, and within a specially made command vehicle, a portly middle-aged man with a stern look and a face creased with flesh barked orders impatiently.

“Speed up, if we let those people escape, everyone here will face punishment!”

This commander was none other than Boendo, the Legion Leader of the ace Seventh Legion of the Freedom Victory Guild.

He was in an exceptionally foul mood, as Fizat, that idiot, had been wiped out in one fell swoop, not only costing him his share of resources but also leaving him to clean up the mess.

Furthermore, Augustus, the Council President, was incredibly enraged and had given strict orders to take down the opposition.

If he failed in this task, Boendo didn’t even want to think about how he would face his fury.

“Understood!”

The subordinates responded in unison.

At this moment, his aide approached Boendo with a respectful tone, “Legion Leader, our reconnaissance drones have locked onto the enemy; they show no signs of fleeing.

Instead, they are building defensive structures on-site, looking to hold out against us to the bitter end.”

“Brave souls!”

Boendo sneered with a hint of admiration.

“Should we deploy our air squadrons for a preliminary bombardment?”

“No need, encircle them!”

With the knowledge that the enemy wasn’t fleeing, Boendo felt even more confident.

“Understood!”

The aide responded respectfully.

Five days later, as the iron flood of troops approached Xiao Wen’s forces, they suddenly split off, completely encircling Xiao Wen’s entire unit.

On seeing this, Su Mo and the others exhibited not a hint of fear.

His mind raced with calculations on how to detonate the nuclear bombs behind them to inflict the maximum damage on the enemy.

The reason they had not opted to flee and instead allowed themselves to be surrounded was to concentrate the enemy’s forces, making it easier to deliver them to their doom.

Of course, Boendo had also discerned the intent of Xiao Wen and his group, but he did not fear it, and he had made his preparations as well.

His encircling troops spread out a bit.

Even if two nuclear bombs were detonated amidst his forces, while they would suffer heavy losses, it would not affect the overall situation.

Su Mo took a deep breath, gazing at the vast ranks of encroaching enemies, his heart filling with a mix of emotion; this was essentially the end of the road for heroes.

Just then, within distant Praying Dragon City, a series of heavy, solemn bell tolls sounded, as if to see them off.

Time trickled by.

Two days later, the two armies officially entered a standoff.

At that time, from the center of the enemy forces, a multi-purpose combat vehicle emerged, and through the vehicle’s loudspeaker, Boendo’s voice rang out.

“I am Boendo, Legion Leader of the Seventh Legion, the ace of the Freedom Victory Guild.

I wonder if Commander Xiao Wen dares to come forth for a discussion.”

“Commander, you must not.

It could be a trap!”

Lin Yue anxiously advised against it.

Xiao Wen replied with a muted smile, “We’ve fought to this point; there’s nothing left to fear.

And besides, even if it’s a ruse, I still have all of you!

When has the Sky Dragon Guild ever lost in spirit to anyone else?”

Speaking, Xiao Wen walked to the front of the defense line and replied, “I am Commander Xiao Wen.

What do you want?”

“Commander Xiao Wen, although we are enemies now, I truly admire your actions.

A thousand-li reinforcement!

Breaking encirclement and attacking the Skyline Canal defense line, annihilating the fortress city in the mountains, your military achievements are worthy of being written into textbooks.

However, heroes also meet their end.

You have no way out now, and in utmost respect for you, as long as Commander Xiao Wen is willing to hand over those two third-generation mechas and the remaining nuclear bombs, I, Boendo, am also willing to turn a blind eye and accept your surrender, with absolute preferential treatment!”

Boendo laid out his conditions.

“Since we have stayed behind, fear of death is not an issue for us.

If you want to persuade us to surrender, there’s no need to say more!”

Xiao Wen very straightforwardly refused.

“Very well, that’s too bad.

All units prepare…”

Boendo replied with evident helplessness.

In the field, one mecha after another maximized their power engines, the raging sound of their power roared one after another.

Rows of missile vehicles raised their missiles.

Xiao Wen’s side was not to be outdone, as each mecha lifted its firearms, while simple shell launchers within the position were raised.

Su Mo’s muscles tensed all over, his eyes becoming sharper.

This would be his last battle.

Boendo slowly raised his hand, just as he was about to wave it to give the attack order.

Suddenly, an urgent voice sounded.

“Legion Leader, stop!!

Don’t attack!

The latest order from Council President Augustus—ceasefire!”

In an instant, the players from Freedom Guild who were ready for battle were stunned.

At the same time, an orderly officer from Xiao Wen’s side also rushed over, shouting hoarsely, “Legion Leader, new orders to cease fire!

Don’t attack anymore!”

Upon hearing the ceasefire order, Su Mo and the others were dumbfounded.

What was happening?

The scene was filled with an uproar, the battlefield that had been thick with the smell of gunpowder suddenly became very strange.

…

Not long ago, the giant clock tower in the center of Praying Dragon City pointed to 12 o’clock, and the numbers below officially jumped to the 26th of the month.

The heavy sound of the bell echoed across Qilong Plain, marking the official start of the Earth Cup!

Under satellite surveillance, in the area covered by black mist at the center of the world, a pale green column of mist, like a fountain, shot into the sky, entering the atmosphere and then spreading like an umbrella, falling on the outer continental plates.

The sinking pale green gas, after dilution, began to turn transparent and started surging inward.

The monsters on the outer continents upon touching those pale green gases,

Their eyes filled with blood vessels, bodies began to further mutate, becoming even more terrifying and powerful.

At the same time, players who inhaled those gray gases began to lose themselves, inexplicably attacking their companions nearby.

And then, they mutated one by one!

The entire forum exploded with activity, a great many people uploaded videos cursing and questioning what exactly was happening.

In the videos uploaded, you could see two best friends, standing together taking photos.

Suddenly, one of the girls, with a vacant look in her eyes, turned her head to look at her friend and without warning, opened her mouth and bit down on her neck.

Blood splattered!

The scene was exceedingly bloody, and this was happening continuously in the cities on the periphery.

Many players who were killed went offline and angrily questioned their companions, but their companions were also feeling wronged as they inexplicably died and had already exited the game.

…

Inside the United Council Hall, various Council Presidents were watching the war footage when the doors were suddenly pushed open.

Four satellite observation staff practically rushed in at the same time.

They ran to their respective Council Presidents and whispered reports of the abrupt changes.
