"AHHHH!"
"AHHH!"
In the dark night, screams covered the entire Death Valley.
The Chaotic World Guild had completely exploded.
And in the major livestream rooms, the mood of the viewers flipped in an instant.
["Damn! What just happened? I only went out to grab my takeout, and everything changed? Weren't Chaotic World dominating the field just now, crushing everyone in their path? How are they getting slaughtered now?"]
["These level 50 main city guards are way too insane! Forget Chaotic World, who at this stage can even block them?"]
["Wait! You're saying this NPC army was called over by that guy named Rulebound?"]
["What the hell! You can even play the game like this? Learned something new today! I'm heading to my main city later to ask the city lord to lend me a few soldiers to help me grind monsters!"]
["Don't bother trying, bro. I already did. The city lord asked me what kind of toad I thought I was!"]
["I thought Chaotic World had Dragon Soul locked down for sure! Didn't expect such a crazy twist! This is interesting! By the way, do you guys want to watch exciting videos like this on a good phone like mine? I recommend checking out Zhuanzhuan for secondhand ones, cheap and reliable…"]
Because Wang Junjie had said that bonuses would be awarded based on 24 hour data such as views, likes, and comments, so even while taking the fiercest beating, the Chaotic World Guild players refused to shut down their streams no matter what.
As a result, their own livestreams bore witness to their own defeat.
———
[The Capital of Dragon Nation, Imperial City]
[Thomson Riviera, Villa District]
Ling Xue sat upright on her bed, her long, slender legs stretched out. Watching the livestream on her tablet of Lin Mo commanding the NPC army to slaughter the Chaotic World Guild in the Death Valley, she could not help but show an appreciative smile.
"Mm! Hm! Interesting!"
"Rulebound, you've made me see you in a new light yet once again."
———
[Death Valley]
After the Dragon Soul Guild and all the players from Ning'an University were safely escorted out of the valley by the NPC soldiers,
Lin Mo immediately issued an order to all troops, "Surround the entire Death Valley."
"Close the gates and beat the dogs!"
"Yes, sir!"
The three captains accepted the command and led their respective troops to launch the encirclement.
Two hundred archers spread out around the entire Death Valley map, forming a tight perimeter.
Bows drawn and arrows ready. The moment a Chaotic World player dared to rush out, they were shot dead on the spot.
Meanwhile, five hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry began a ruthless sweep and harvest inside the valley.
The damage Chaotic World players dealt to the NPC soldiers was uniformly forced damage of only 1 point.
But whether it was cavalry, infantry, or archers, their attacks on Chaotic World players were all instant kills.
Under the devastation of one thousand NPC soldiers at a level comparable to bosses, the ten thousand Chaotic World Guild players were like lambs that had fallen into a tiger's den.
Their fate was obvious.
The entire Death Valley was filled with the screams of Chaotic World players.
They were killed again and again, revived again and again.
Trampled over and over.
Their levels plummeted.
Equipment, silver coins, potions scattered everywhere.
Even Wang Junjie was clutching his head, scrambling around like a rat!
"Protect me! Protect me now! Get me back to the city, damn it!"
Whoosh!
Wang Junjie had just crushed a Return Scroll.
When the countdown had barely reached nine seconds, the large group of Chaotic World players protecting him were slaughtered by the cavalry charging in.
Wang Junjie was knocked flying by a warhorse. His return was interrupted, and he was instantly killed on the spot!
"Rulebound! I f*ck your—!"
[Ding! You have died! Death penalty applied: Level -1!]
"Rulebound! If you've got the guts, kill me all the way down to level 0 today!"
[Ding! You have died! Death penalty applied: Level -1!]
"Damn it! Rulebound! I swear I won't let you off!"
[Ding! You have died! Death penalty applied: Level -1!]
"Damn it! HELP! SAVE ME!"
It was not until a full twenty minutes of devastation had passed that the [Death Lockdown] effect expired.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless beams of white light shot into the sky.
The entire Death Valley finally fell into silence.
The vast valley no longer showed a single Chaotic World player.
Even the monsters inside, the level 40 Dead Soldiers, had been completely wiped out.
The ground was piled high with equipment, potions, silver coins, and other drops, so dense there was barely space to stand.
As Lin Mo approached the Death Valley,
All one thousand NPC soldiers bowed their heads to him in unison, "Reporting, my lord. The enemy has been completely eliminated!"
Lin Mo nodded, "You've done well."
"Clean up the battlefield."
"Yes, sir!"
With Lin Mo's order, the one thousand level 50 soldiers, who in outsiders' eyes were dignified and untouchable, began picking up the items dropped by Chaotic World players throughout the Death Valley for Lin Mo.
And this scene completely shocked the Dragon Soul Guild and the Ning University players outside.
"Holy crap! Those level 50 soldiers were really summoned by Rulebound? They actually obey him completely?"
"How did Rulebound even pull this off? This is insane!"
Even Dragon Soul Whisper, a top strategist of the Dragon Soul Guild and a graduate of Jinghua University, only now fully understood, "So that's it. These past two days, when Rulebound had us protect him, the missions he was carrying out were all to gain control over the army of Blazing Ember City."
"According to information released by the official Divine Oracle, players can indeed obtain temporary command over NPC troops by completing assessment missions from the city lord."
"But under normal circumstances, ordinary players don't even qualify to receive the city lord's assessment missions. Unless this Rulebound is carrying some secret tied to the major safety of Blazing Ember City. Only then could he obtain such a high level privilege, no less than triggering a hidden quest."
Even Dragon Soul Aoshi was extremely surprised.
From a businessman's perspective, Dragon Soul Aoshi had navigated the business world for many years, dealt with famous figures, and seen all kinds of people.
Without exception, everything those people did was based on their own interests. They never considered anything else.
Admittedly, even Dragon Soul Aoshi himself was that kind of person.
So he had originally thought Lin Mo was merely using them for his own benefit, and once they lost their value, he would ignore whether they lived or died.
But he never expected that not only did Lin Mo not abandon them, he had actually prepared such a hidden trump card.
Not only saving their Dragon Soul Guild and allowing them to cut their losses in time, but even wiping out the entire Chaotic World Guild and its army of tens of thousands of players.
After a long while, Dragon Soul Aoshi could not help but say in a low voice, "This time, all of us underestimated Rulebound."
At this moment, the thousand soldiers had already swiftly finished cleaning up the battlefield.
They presented all the spoils of war before Lin Mo.
And this time, Lin Mo gained an unprecedented and enormous harvest.
