Chapter 1: The Second Arc Begins
==============================
Did we win?
When the last team of great demons knelt on the city wall to express their submission, even after several minutes had passed, Liang Yue could hardly believe it.
If it weren’t for the bl**d splattered all over the walls and the corpses of the monster race that had already perished before the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters showed up, she really wouldn’t have believed that a war that nearly wiped out Cold Wind City could end like this.
After a brief silence, cheers of victory erupted from the people on the city wall, a heartfelt chorus ignited by one player who, having received a hefty system reward, couldn’t help but let out a triumphant shout that set off a chain reaction.
Great King, we won!
We finally won!
Though deep down, she knew that if the Great King hadn’t dispatched the Extermination of Immortals Demon-Slaying Squad and those seemingly sweet but actually powerhouse twin sisters, Cold Wind City would have likely crumbled under the relentless attacks of the enemy.
Especially after Li Ying Tian, the leader of Thousand Bird City, decided to jump into the fray himself. The Demon-Slaying Squad displayed unwavering courage, sacrificing three members and injuring several others to spare the monster race in Cold Wind City from confronting the enemy boss.
In the final moments, the Heavenly Demon Sound Sisters used outrageous tactics to make Li Ying Tian retreat on his own, leaving him too afraid to strike at them.
Just their extraordinary composure and bravery left Liang Yue in awe.
She could feel that even the members of the Demon-Slaying Squad treated these two little girls with utmost respect, willing to lay down their lives to protect them.
And the two girls were only about seven or eight years old! With their current display, their futures were practically limitless.
What the crowd considered a perilous situation seemed impossible to surmount without higher-ranking organizational members stepping in. In reality, however, the Extermination of Immortals had anticipated this perfectly; they managed to resolve the near-unhinged boss situation with just the existing strength on the field.
Moreover, the Extermination of Immortals organization had managed to uncover exceptional talents like those little girls and entrust them with significant responsibilities.
It truly demonstrated how frighteningly developed the system controlled by the Cold Moon Great King was, in terms of its operation and the accurate predictions regarding the unfolding of events.
After much deep thought, Liang Yue gained a refreshed understanding of the Great King’s ability to command.
Amidst the cheers of the players in Cold Wind City, players from White Feather City looked like droopy eggplants caught in a frost, utterly deflated, with no energy whatsoever.
d*mn it, had they known Cold Wind City would receive the support of the Extermination of Immortals at such a crucial moment, they would have sold their pots, pans, and even their kids just to join Cold Wind City.
The official win prediction was a serious scam.
After all their hard work, aside from a handful of people snagging the “Ten k*ll” title, they had nothing to show for their efforts.
If I trust you again in the future, may I never have a son!
……
At that moment, the “Red Rescue Squad” marching through the Chaos Forest made an emergency halt once more.
“A situation has changed; I predict a major shift in the story’s unfolding.”
The high school history teacher’s eyes sparkled with wisdom.
“Teacher, I really have to hand it to you this time. You’re officially my guiding light from now on.”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for Teacher rallying us to rush to Cold Wind City, we wouldn’t have left Thousand Bird City.”
“Who would’ve thought that soon after departing Thousand Bird City, all the players there would faint like they’d been hit with a sleeping charm and collectively log off? They’re now cursing the game developers on the forums!”
“Haha, that’s why they say, following the Cold Moon Witch means guaranteed food and drink!”
Thanks to the history teacher’s keen observation that the red flame in Cold Wind City might be related to the witch, he immediately decided to head for support.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gathered here.
“It feels so good to fight hard for our ideals. Boohoo.”
Just as the Red Rescue Squad was about to urgently brainstorm their next move, all online players received an update notification from the system.
