Chapter 583: Chapter 584: Truly Desperate

At the end of the spiraling stairs, there was another massive gate, but this one didn’t have an attacking device on the side.

This was a six-star-level gate, lofty and imposing, allowing 13 Battle Demon Princesses to stand side by side.

Upon arriving here, Chu You didn’t immediately attack the gate. Instead, he sauntered over, a peculiar gleam in his eyes.

After a while, Chu You reached out a hand delicately touching the gate, putting his ear close to it as if to listen attentively.

The 100 Battle Demon Princesses behind him, some floating in mid-air, some standing on the ground, curiously watched their master without making any noise, creating an eerie silence.

System: The Stronghold God General is under attack!

A weird smile appeared on Chu You’s face. He knew, as soon as this door was open, he and his companions would see the core hall of the fortress.

The most thrilling battle was taking place there. Once all the NPCs were eliminated, and the core system was destroyed, the fortress would have its owner.

The second ruling guild in the world would thereby be born. Before this, only the Yan Kingdom’s fortress had an owner, which was an unparalleled honor.

Violent battles were happening outside the gate, but the scene inside was strikingly opposite.

In Chu You’s vision, there were runes on the gate which set it apart from ordinary city gates, and it wasn’t even at full health. Although its health bar had slightly decreased, it wasn’t moving anymore.

It was apparent that the players outside had tried to break this gate open, but when they realised that the gate was incredibly strong and durable, they ended up giving up.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to break it open but that the situation forbade them to be reckless.

It was extremely hazardous to stay inside the core hall even for an extra second!

Chu You didn’t show any sense of urgency. According to the system’s prompt, the Stronghold God General, which was the Soul-State Eight-Star NPC, had not died yet. That meant, so far, the core system was still invincible!

He knew, if the Stronghold God General died, a new system prompt would appear as players attacked the core system. So, the current situation wasn’t urgent to him.

After ordering the Battle Demon Princesses to standby, Chu You went offline...

In reality, it was still late at night. After Chu You logged off, he first drank a glass of water, leisurely used the toilet, smoked a cigarette outside, and even checked the blankets on Wang Meimei and Bao’er. He was impressively composed.

After all these, Chu You climbed back into the game pod.

System: Yan Kingdom announcement: Ruling officiator Night Ghost has logged in!

When this message appeared, many Yan Country Players were dumbfounded, especially those with well-informed insiders, who were utterly startled.

Damn, the game’s in such a crucial stage, and Night Ghost had been offline. Can he not be so gangsta?

For a while, on Prosperous Street in Huaxia Central City, this news was rapidly disseminated by Yan Country Players, allowing many top players of the other six countries to understand what was happening.

Meanwhile, all the guild bosses who were attacking the Chu Kingdom’s fortress received the same news.

They were perplexed, why had Night Ghost logged off? What had he been doing while offline? Where precisely within the main fortress building was he now? Why was he so fearless?

A series of questions popped up in their minds, reflecting the doubts of many people at this time.

After logging in, Chu You summoned Emperor Ji, having her fly to the top of the fortress to check out the situation there.

System: The Stronghold God General is under attack!

After a few minutes, when Emperor Ji arrived, Chu You saw through her viewpoint that all of the Battle Demon Princesses inside the Skyfall Palace were safe and unharmed.

Like this, Chu You waited another ten minutes. Unable to curb his boredom, he ordered the Battle Demon Princesses to attack the gate. Not with skill attack, just a common attack and stopped them when the gate’s health bar had dropped by one third.

The system prompt refreshing every minute still remained the same.

System: The Stronghold God General is under attack!

Just a step away, a large group of panicked players gathered. Red flashes appeared in their sight and wide-ranged skills were occasionally unleashed from the terrifying figure.

Player death notifications were popping up rapidly, with groups of players falling in an instant.

However, it seems these players are endless, continually pouring in from the four massive doors that had been opened. It seemed like an infinite force.

Originally, Chu Kingdom’s players thought the main building only had one large door, but as the NPC’s strength was gradually devoured, they quickly discovered other entrances, which led to the current situation.

In this grand hall, there’s not only an Eight-Star NPC God General, but also two Seven-Star NPCs and four attack devices. Along with the core devices, a total of 8 powers were unleashing group attacks.

Originally, at the four corners of the core device, there were four humanoid stone statues, who were Seven-Star NPCs. Now, only two are left.

The remaining strength of the Chu Kingdom is now wearing thin, the most exciting moment is coming.

But a shadow still lingers in the hearts of many players.

That is, the legendary Yan Kingdom’s player, Night Ghost! This person has yet to make an appearance, even though they saw notifications and guild announcements noting Night Ghost’s existence in the stronghold.

However, they had been fighting for so long without seeing him. What on earth was Night Ghost up to? Could he be afraid?

This uncertainty was all the more disturbing for the guild leaders outside.

Even though they suspected foul play, they had no idea when it would happen. It felt like being targeted by a poisonous snake, knowing it could strike at any moment without knowing when it will strike.

To tell hundreds of thousands of players to stop attacking now would be unrealistic.

The flying troop players had already relayed the information to these leaders. They knew at the top of the stronghold, Night Ghost’s troops were blocking the door to the palace, making it impossible to charge in, much less eliminate them. It seems unrealistic, near impossible.

What Night Ghost is up to, nobody knows.

"Hey, how is it this gate has so little health left?" A player exclaimed in surprise, as if he discovered a whole new world.

"Huh? It’s true. The six-star city gate is about to be breached."

"Isn’t this the gate that leads to the upper level?"

"If it doesn’t lead to the top, where else would it go, bottom?"

"Holy shit, who’s so powerful to attack the six-star city gate like this?"

At that moment, several red lights shot over, downing several players and exploding equipment. The players who were discussing immediately rushed to grab the equipment, turning the scene into chaos.

There were four of these huge gates in the even bigger hall.

Only this one had barely any health left.

It was extremely hard for players to notice this detail as there was always the chance of getting killed instantly in the crowd. Could there be players continuously circling around within this immense inner court along the arc path of the four city gates?

Maybe previously there were, but definitely not now.

At this moment, another Seven-Star NPC fell, causing a wave of excited cheers amongst the players. They were one step closer to success.

Inside, Chu You couldn’t hear them. Now, he was silently sitting on the ground, the Battle Demon Princess silently stood behind him. At the top of his stronghold, Emperor Ji, with 60 Battle Demon Princesses, was rushing toward him at high speed.

"Ruthless, another Seven-Star NPC has been killed." An excited voice reached Ruthless’s ears.

However, the leader of the current top guild in Chu Kingdom did not show a hint of joy on his face!
