Chapter 383
Chapter 383
Undoubtedly, when the new main storyline quest dropped, the players couldn’t contain their excitement, with each of them brimming in anticipation and fervor.
The other rewards were already enticing enough, but the addition of the last special storyline quest reward, marked in silver in the quest description, had completely ignited the players’ enthusiasm.
An advanced job slot!
They could get an advanced job slot!
All players participating in the large-scale war campaign were as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, entering a state of high excitement.
Elven Kingdom differs from other online games in that, while there is a notable power gap between different ranks, the gap is not insurmountable.
This means that this special storyline quest reward isn’t only for players who are level 40.
While those at level 40 might have a higher chance of killing more enemies, other players also have opportunities!
The battlefield is chaotic and unpredictable.
If you’re lucky, a single spell might take out a few unfortunate enemies, and conversely, even a level 40 player might be taken out by an arrow just as they charge if they’re unlucky enough.Therefore, even without needing any major guilds to mobilize, the players themselves began logging into the war chatroom channel and assembling at Blade City spontaneously.
This time, the army assembly was still centered around the four major guilds.
No, they can’t be called the four major guilds anymore.
Guilds in Elven Kingdom have no member limits, and after absorbing players from the fourth test, the number of members in the four major guilds has reached a staggering amount.
Even the guild with the shallowest foundation, the Autobots, has over 5,000 members, while the largest guild, Heart of Nature, has already surpassed 10,000 members.
The total number of players in these four guilds alone accounts for more than half of the 60,000 beta players.
They can now be called super guilds.
Of course, while the four major guilds are growing more formidable, the small and medium-sized guilds have also become a force to be reckoned with.
With the influx of fourth-beta players, various new guilds have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. While none have reached the scale of the four major guilds, there are quite a few large guilds with over 1,000 players.
Guilds with over 1,000 members can activate the legion feature, so this time, there are not just four participating player legions but more than twenty. These twenty-plus legions are still divided into four parts, each centered around the guilds First Legion, Moe Moe Committee, Heart of Nature, and Autobots.
Players refer to them as the four army groups, with the commanders being Tomato Stir-Fry, Boxlunch, Li Mu, and Transformer Ji Gang.
Li Mu still serves as the overall commander of the Elven Expeditionary Force.
With the command structure in place, each guild began rallying members to join the battle.
Every second, players emerged from the long-distance teleportation arrays and gathered outside Blade City.
Meanwhile, outside the city, players who arrived early started to gather.
They congregated under the north wall of Blade City in a densely packed manner as their numbers quickly grew.
Soon, the total surpassed 10,000, then 20,000, and finally 30,000!
The continuous arrival of elves, in ever-increasing numbers, left the elderly dark dwarf Firebeard, who was watching from the city walls, dumbfounded.
He initially thought the elves would number no more than 20,000 but soon realized he had underestimated them.
The local defenders of Blade City went from excitement to surprise, then shock, and finally fell silent as the number of elves exponentially increased.
So when the assembly deadline finally arrived, even the commanders of the player guilds were left speechless.
The fourth beta had been open for so long that most newbies had already become Iron-rankers.
As a result, the number of players joining the battle far exceeded their expectations!
When the agreed half-day assembly time finally concluded, a full army of 50,000 elves had gathered under the city walls!
An army of 50,000!
What does an army of 50,000 mean?
In past quests, battles involving thousands were enough to evoke an epic sense of awe. The previous army of 30,000 half-orcs already felt like an unstoppable, overwhelming force to the players…
And now, the players have reached this scale and more!
They completely occupied the northern region of Blade City, resembling a sea of people that both awed and sent chills down one’s spine to anyone who beheld their sheer numbers.
Standing atop the city wall, Li Mu looked down at the vast army below, his expression brimming with excitement and heroism.
“Epic! This is our story! Our legend! This is our Elven Kingdom!”
Never in his life had he imagined commanding a battle of such scale. Excitement surged within him, mingled with anxiety that tingled with anticipation.
Who could stop them now?
Who indeed?!
His heart surged with emotion.
He took screenshots in the system while instructing the player in charge of battle music to play the most exhilarating BGM. Then, he raised his ornate command sword high and shouted to the players waiting outside the city walls:
“For the glory of the Elven race! For the final victory!”
His voice quivered with a hoarse, slightly theatrical timbre.
However, his excited voice echoed all over Blade City and through the battlefield chat channel, and no one felt it was out of place.
Facing such a grand scene, everyone found themselves swept up in the moment, unable to stay composed.
At that moment, the players’ unity reached its peak.
Then, someone started it…
A player raised their weapon high, and soon, others followed suit.
Swish, swish, swish!
Tens of thousands of players drew their weapons and raised them to the sky, as their overwhelming voices all resounded altogether:
“For the glory of the Elven race! For the final victory!”
The voices echoed out of sync, creating a chaotic yet stirring effect as tens of thousands shouted together, evoking a deeply moving atmosphere.
Their tsunami-like cheers made the ground tremble, with their echoes reverberating throughout Blade City.
Witnessing such spectacle, no one could remain unmoved.
Meanwhile, Firebeard looked at the formidable elven army with a complicated expression.
“The times… are changing.”
Li Mu swung his sword and shouted again.
“Charge—!”
“Hurrah—!”
The cheers rolled like thunder.
Amidst the swirling dust, tens of thousands of soldiers began to move slowly, like a terrifying giant beast…
At the highest tower on Blade City’s wall.
Eve’s incarnation stood there, hidden by divine magic.
She looked down at the slowly moving player army, feeling gratified.
Sighing lightly, Evé said:
“The Chosen Ones are on the move. They may be vast in number, but they still lack high-end combat experts.”
“Since you have just awakened, go with them. Show me your strength.”
She turned slightly, looking at a figure behind her.
It was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, with black hair and red eyes, clad in black dragon-scale armor.
Hearing her words, the boy bowed slightly and responded respectfully in a clear voice:
“As you command.”
