Chapter 516: Chapter 498: Announcing to the Whole Network
Super Tomato had successfully pulled off a big show.
It wasn’t intentionally trying to show off, but there were only about 70 people attacking, while he had buried more than 200 underground. They couldn’t even squeeze in to help.
He could only stand at a high place, giving the audience of his live broadcast a better perspective.
To some extent, it could be said that he was excluded.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t think so, they only felt that he had put on a great show:
“Dominating! Invincible!”
“No wonder he wore a gold helmet before! He was waiting for this moment!”
“What’s called a strategy, my friends!”
“When did he hide those people? How come I didn’t see? Is he even fooling his audience?”
Yes, Super Tomato had managed to hide a group of ambush troops under the foundation of Heaven Hall, right under the eyes of all his viewers.
And it was an astonishing number of more than 200 people! More than those involved in building above ground!
Originally, these people didn’t exist.
Super Tomato secretly organized them in his most core hardcore fan group after seeing that all the other anchors were being attacked, and some unknown players had appeared in his area, due to his clear understanding of himself.
He asked his friends to dig holes and put beds underground, and pull people in directly.
In this process, they had to expand the space time and again to accommodate more reinforcements.
Finally, with more than 200 people gathered, they waited for the attackers for a long time, so bored that they continued to dig deeper and deeper until almost the entire foundation under the hall was hollowed out.
This led to many people stopping their digging from time to time, looking up.
They always felt that the ground was going to collapse...
Although their experience told them that buildings and blocks wouldn’t be affected by gravity, they couldn’t change this concept quickly enough.
Fortunately, the “enemy” finally arrived, and when these people rushed out of the ground, they were so excited and ruthless when they started attacking.
In comparison, the attackers, who knew each other well, were easily defeated by a group of unorganized individual soldiers.
The fast-reacting one was also chased out for dozens of meters and brutally killed on the spot.
In less than ten minutes, all the attackers were wiped out, and none survived.
“So refreshing!”
“Well done!”
“What’s next?”
“Build houses, what else can we do? But should we also build an underground bunker or something down there?”
After celebrating for a while, they turned back to repairing the damaged hall, and wondered if they should build some forts for defense.
Otherwise, even if they could win, it would be useless if their home was destroyed!
Camille Victoria’s side also learned a lesson and decided to upgrade everyone’s equipment first.
But soon they discovered that there wasn’t much iron in this area...
The supplies needed to arm more than ten people and a hundred people were indeed only ten times different in numbers.
However, considering the limited number of iron ores within a certain range, once the numbers exceed a certain level, they would have to dig deeper and farther to obtain more iron ores.
So although the manpower had increased tenfold, the time it took to complete was even longer.
In the end, they could only divide into two groups:
Half of the people continued mining and upgrading their arms, while the other half began construction directly.
First build a staircase of three wide and fifty high with dirt blocks, then directly lay the ground in the air, creating an artificial suspended land.
As they laid the ground, people started carrying water, climbing up with wheat seeds to develop farmland.
As the game servers went live, various tips and tricks were being discovered by players and posted online in large numbers.
“Do I have that much beef with you?!”
Camille Victoria was furious, grinding her teeth!
But she refused to admit defeat. Gritting her teeth, she said to her live streaming audience: “Anyone willing to help, just report your ID! No limit to the number of people, as many as come, we’ll take as many! Hold out through this wave, and you can build your houses however you want!”
Then, turning to her team members, she ordered: “Help gather people! All those who report their ID in the live streaming room, bring them over!”
Whether there were traitors or troublemakers at this point, it didn’t matter anymore!
Soon enough, everyone went into action.
On the floating island, they initiated a mode of rapid mobilization!
Even so, Camille Victoria still remained anxious: the people she was bringing in might not all be well-armed.
If those approaching players were all fully armed, then it was likely...
They wouldn’t be able to hold them off!
As Camille Victoria and her team members felt uneasy, the densely packed group of players in their field of vision were also marveling at the floating island:
“Damn, that’s one huge sky island!”
“The key point is the creativity! Before seeing this, I never thought that houses could be built in the sky.”
“Is the house the key? Give them some time, and they could probably build a damn satellite!”
As everyone discussed amongst themselves, group owner “Second Injury” suggested: “How about we build our base here?”
“Being their neighbors would be pretty interesting.”
“Since they’ve built something on such a large scale, they’re obviously not those who specialize in destruction and tearing down buildings.”
“Agree!”
“Same!”
“The group owner is wise!”
“The group owner is invincible!”
Everyone agreed one after another.
Yes, these people were players from the Whirlpool Forum Player Alliance group chat.
After receiving authorization from the group owner, Pumpkin Man immediately began gathering people, and those who joined also quickly invited others according to the registered ID in the cooperative document.
With this “fission” style of gathering, it didn’t take long for them to amass over 1,500 people!
Afterward, Pumpkin Man led them to pursue their enemies.
When the 14 fully armored, trouble-loving players realized they were surrounded by over a thousand people, they were instantly dumbfounded.
Without any resistance or struggle, they obediently stood in place and surrendered.
They even sincerely bowed and apologized to Pumpkin Man, claiming they would never dare again.
But Second Injury, the group owner, didn’t let it go and continued to ask them if they knew of other players who were engaged in destructive activities.
As it turned out, they did know some.
The rest of the story was simple. This legion of a thousand-plus people advanced collecting supplies and upgrading equipment, while tracking and hunting down those squads that called themselves “Destroyers,” “Resetters,” “Environmental Champions,” “Nature Guardians,” based on the clues.
And they were invincible!
Enemies either fled in panic or surrendered without a fight. None dared to confront them directly.
Not a single one.
This was the deterrence of a legion!
After they had wiped out all the destructive teams they encountered or received information about, they finally came across the large floating island in the sky and decided to settle down there.
The group owner stood on top of the hill, pointing into the distance: “From that mountain, to that river, including the entire valley and plain, this will be our base!”
“But now, we have more important things to do: we need to initiate another collective vote –”
‘[Vote on whether to declare to the whole network: No. 57 public world is a peace zone, any hostile destructive behavior will be considered a challenge to the legion!]”
