Chapter 281: Day 1: Supreme Conqueror's strategy

After killing the general, Bran set his eyes on the remaining Royal knights who were fighting with the players of his guild. However, he was neither Wil nor One. He was too good to steal War points from others.

So, he didn't touch them and only focused on those enemies who are overpowering his allies.

Even though their Air force was pretty much defeated, under Bran's lead, the infantry was able to overwhelm the enemies and break through the wild zone, entering the region of Elalian where the citizens are ready to defend.

*Ding! King Decimus Augustus Reverie has been killed. Reverie lost the war.

"Eh?" Just for the moment, fifty thousand players who made it under Bran's lead were stunned on the spot.

"The king has already fallen?" Bran mumbled in shock. "I didn't even make it to the capital and the war is already over?"

*Ding! The Reverie Kingdom turned into Reverie province.

*Ding! Players and NPCs of Reverie province turn into the allies of the Searvale kingdom.

*Ding! Crimson Sun was removed as the player representative.

*Ding! Siren is the new player representative for the player alliance.

Not only them, the remaining players who remained in the forest to fight the Elven players of Searvale also stopped their fight and read the notification.

All of their names turned blue and now, they realized they can't kill each other.

They didn't expect their kingdom would fall just a little over 2 hours after the war has been started. It's only 8 o'clock in the morning and, three kingdoms collapsed already. If one includes Llyne, then, it's four…

As he was no longer the leader of the alliance, Bran started sending private messages to the guild leaders to return to the Reverie city.

Since their kingdom is already down and they can do nothing about it, they will need to come up with a plan to occupy the Uflenor kingdom that was in a battle with Searvale's strongest force on their border.

At the same time, in another part of the wild zone, the Crown Princess and her Royal knights were fighting against two generals, and their army of Searvale.

They too stopped their fight as everyone sensed the death of their king. When a king dies, every NPC of their kingdom sees the image of his last breath in their head and their creator, mother goddess Gaia will make the winners immune to their attacks.

While the rest of the Royal Knights are saddened with the fact that they lost the war, the Crown Princess, on other hand, burned with revenge after receiving the Imperial sword from her father.

But, as the loser of the war, she had to comply with the rules of the war and surrendered herself.

The Elven soldiers tied their hands and took their equipment before escorting them to the capital. Since the imperial sword was now connected to her, the crown princess isn't worried about it being taken away.

All she was waiting for the time to escape before she swears her allegiance to Searvale.

Capital Region, Kingdom of Isengard;

Another one-sided war is going on in this kingdom that is located in the central region of the North Zalfari continent.

As Isengard's habitable region faces the wild zones of the kingdom of Krara, their king ordered the entire player army to defend the kingdom while sending a general, a hundred Royal knights, and five thousand soldiers into the enemy territory to occupy a town and set up as a base.

But, the players are hungry to acquire War points. So, a part of them didn't listen to the order. They followed the Solar into the wild zone of Krara.

However, strangely, the world's strongest guild with over 250 thousand members stayed behind to protect the city following the orders of their guild leader. 

With their thousand-member Elite force, Supreme Conqueror and Solar were waiting for the enemy.

As for the generals, no one knows where they are except for Supreme Conqueror. With Solar by his side, he manipulated the King and the Generals to let them play in the way he wanted to.

Soon, he heard about the appearance of the massive army from the scout.

"What are the stats?" Supreme Conqueror asked the scout with a smile.

"Along with more than two princes, five hundred Royal knights, ten thousand soldiers, and five hundred thousand players crossed the border and entered Isengard territory." The scout replied.

Upon hearing it, the smile on Supreme Conqueror only became wider. "Okay, the fish took the bait."

The massive army passed an NPC town on the way but to their surprise, it was empty.

The two Princes thought it was normal and didn't think too much to occupy the town before setting towards the next town, leaving behind some Royal knights.

Strangely. they found the nearby town is also empty.

This time, they found something amiss. The plan is to occupy a town by killing the residents but surprisingly, everything is going on their way and they didn't work hard for it.

Thinking that it might be a trap, the Princes took each town as their own and settled by dividing the army half and half.

In the meantime, they ordered the player army to stand in the line, making a hundred-kilometer human wall between the two towns. This way, they will be able to react quickly even if there's an ambush laid by Isengard.

"Here…" The second prince gave a letter to the player representative, "send someone to the capital and hand it to Elder brother. It's best if they were able to fly so that they can reach quickly."

Oakwood nodded in response as he took the letter, "don't worry, your highness. I'll send my best to send it as fast as they can, safely."

The second prince was happy with his promise. In fact, he was the one who suggested this plan earlier during their strategy meeting.

Now, all they need is to send a letter back to the king and inform him about it. After all, their NPC force is too weak to contend against the entire army of Isengard for they are equal in strength to each other.

However, they didn't expect, just after 10 minutes Oakwood receives the letter, all of a sudden, an enormous explosion occurred in both of the towns.

The grounds beneath the NPCs were completely collapsed. Although none of them were killed, all of them fell into a pit of over two hundred meters depth.

If that wasn't enough, the players started to log out, abandoning them, and shockingly, Oakwood wasn't an exception either.

The result… well, the destruction of the enemies.

Supreme Conqueror laughed hard as his plan worked perfectly.

Wild zone, Evelon Kingdom;

From the start, people never paid much attention to the result of this three-way war after Llyne submitted to Zuweth. With Wil's clones' performance, everyone believed Evelon will collapse soon.

However, the situation is quite different from everyone's imagination. That's right. Evelon is winning against the allied forces.

A hundred-meter-big Evelon's protector, a level-500, legendary-grade Neo-hybrid beast was right now is in a berserk state with one of its damaged.

It was sweeping down the allied forces of Zuweth and Llyne, players and NPC soldiers alike.

At the same time, sitting on its shoulder, the king was madly raining down exploding arrows from time to time.

Looking at the situation that got out of his hand, Starlight's eyes panicked, "We are supposed to win. How did the situation escalate to his manner..."

He then remembered a message from Wil, two hours ago. Starlight mumbled, "Time Traveler, what have you done?"
