Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 962 - 674: The Smile Vanishes Once Again
This is normal, after all, most of the silver players are those who spend a lot of time online, so naturally they are likely to take on the task first, while the bronze players... if they are not second-test newcomers, then they are slackers and unlucky ones.
And among the more than ten thousand silver players, although it’s only been a few days since the update, a few hundred lucky ones and hardcore players have been promoted to mid-level silver.
Players who successfully registered are overjoyed, while those who failed can only look at the screen saying "Registration full, you have entered the queue, your current ranking is XX" with endless sighs.
There are complaints, because previous large-scale tasks never restricted the number of participants.
But after the complaints, they can only silently accept it.
Who told them they were slow-handed?
Of course, players naturally don’t know that the number of registrations was purposely set by Divine.
Not only this time Divine sets it up, but in future large tasks, Divine also plans to set a limit on the number of participants each time.
This is necessary.
Previously, everyone went together because there were too few players, and the only way was to mobilize all troops.
But it’s different now.
The total number of players has reached 560,000, and overall strength has changed drastically. In this situation, when letting them complete certain tasks, actually not many people are needed. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Not to mention, many life players still need to maintain the operation of the Elf Forest, and the large power scope requires personnel to stand by. Considering input and return, considering the whole situation, it’s better to limit the number of participants in large hidden tasks.
For example, this time, facing the Titan Evil God, if the opponent suddenly attacked the players’ army, then the cost for Divine to resurrect them would be quite a lot.
A hundred-thousand-strong army is enough to defeat the secular army of the Border Earl, hold off the Imperial army outside Fengye Territory after defeating the Border Earl’s army.
As for Eternal Lord’s thoughts after occupying Fengye Territory?
Ha.
When the Border Earl announces independence and expels the Eternal Church, adopting the "Twilight and Sunset Church" as the national church... technically speaking, Fengye Territory no longer counts as the force range of the Eternal Lord.
Launching a holy war against a nearby Evil God force, and eventually bringing the area into control, even from the "True God Agreement" game rule set by the Eternal Lord, there is no problem at all.
Of course, the rules are set by Divine, for the rule-makers, the rules originally don’t have much binding force.
"Lord Ling, Fengye Territory is ultimately within the belief area of the Eternal Lord, even though it’s been disrupted by the Evil God now, will our holy war really not provoke Eternal Church’s backlash?"
In Chosen City’s Central Temple, Life Saintess Alice looked at the war map in the conference room, with a hint of worry on her face.
However, the newly appointed Grand Priest Tyler Yan Sha sitting on the side smiled slightly:
"Lord Alice, you are overthinking it."
"Titan Evil God descends, now only the Goddess can possibly defeat this powerful myth. For the safety of other belief areas, the Eternal Church would have to tacitly agree to this..."
"Not to mention, the Goddess has issued an oracle, a year from now is the war of gods and demons, before the war of gods and demons arrives, the Eternal Church would not let an Evil God with abyssal ties operate freely under their nose..."
"No matter from which angle to consider, Titan Evil God must be handled within a year, and in Segis World, only the Goddess can contend with him..."
"So... I think even if the Eternal Church is dissatisfied, they would have to grudgingly accept."
After listening to Tyler’s words, Alice was thoughtful.
This elf from Oros Half-plane has already, with her and Divine Favored Zero’s support, become the current Grand Priest of the Life Church, and during his induction day received Divine Favor from the Goddess, also becoming a Gold Professional.
Though he only joined the Elf Forest a few years, his faith is firm, his vision long-term, his ability reliable...
"Indeed so."
On the other side, Divine Favored Zero, wearing a mask, also nodded lightly.
Then, she changed her tone:
"However... more importantly, our strength is already vastly different than before."
"No matter when, strength determines the final say..."
"Let the Chosen Ones handle this matter, we only need to do the auxiliary work well, especially in logistics."
Hearing her words, Alice and Tyler both nodded in agreement.
...
Once the hidden task starts, the Elf Forest operates like a giant war machine...
This time, although the number of players participating in the battle is not as many as in the Half-Beast War, the mobilization scale is far larger than last time.
Players participating in the task started preparing for battle, and continuously moved towards Gray Castle City at the easternmost part of the Elf Forest. Even those who didn’t successfully register, under the organization of major guilds, began preparing various combat materials for this task...
For a while, Gray Castle City was crowded with people, full of fully armed elves, and players who didn’t register but saw business opportunities, selling various goods.
The whole Elf Forest is increasingly tense with the atmosphere of war.
Even outside Gray Castle City, various guild tents began to station, Demon Beasts and horses were everywhere, even some guilds brought siege machinery and Bimong Giant Beasts enhanced with Titan bloodline from the store...
Some guilds even brought Half-Beast soldiers as assistant soldiers, to help transport various materials—compared to the number of hundreds of thousands of players, space props are still too few, so when war comes, logistics moving with the army is very needed.
The ground was busy and bustling, the sky was also not peaceful.
The skies above Gray Castle City were filled with flying magical beasts, including some dragons, but mostly Griffins, purchased from the Dwarf Kingdom after the alliance between Elf Forest and Dwarf Kingdom.
The Southern Mountains are reputed for Griffins, known as the land of Griffins, so dwarfs are happy to do this trade with elves.
No doubt, as the number of players increases and the game time continues, flying magical beasts have become mainstream, and players can now form a flying unit.
Of course, the port area of Gray Castle City has been completely sealed, to prevent leaking the gathering of Elf Forest’s army.
As the players’ main seven forces, the four major guilds and three guild alliances acted, forming operation departments specific to this entrusted task.
"Why am I the general commander again? I’ve commanded enough, can’t we change someone? Every time after commanding, I am exhausted in reality... too long, too taxing!"
In Nature’s Heart Guild’s headquarters’ council hall, Li Mu looked at the representatives of major guilds arriving here, speechless.
This Nature’s Heart Guild Leader, recently indulging in helping his Elemental Elf Nezha court Xia Mu’s sweetheart Little Ding Dang, just wants to be a sloth...
Isn’t it nice to plant flowers and go fishing occasionally?
Anyway, he is already a City Lord, his reputation is maxed, he has commanded large armies many times, and "Elf Kingdom" is not just about fighting...
Not to mention being a general commander doesn’t gain more battle contributions than others!
"Of course it’s because you have rich experience! Unless... you think the reputation of leadership standing here rivals yours?"
Little Xian Miao smiled.
Other guild leaders also nodded.
Li Mu:...
Enough already!
You guys... just because you’re mid-level silver plus fully equipped, you want to go to the battlefield to grind monsters, gain experience, and become invincible right?!
He complained inwardly.
"What about Dema? Dema had good command previously! Why not let him try?"
Li Mu suggested.
"Him? Look at his state now, is he suitable to command?"
The Alliance Leader "All-Star Ashun" sneered, glancing at a certain red-haired warrior squatting by the wall drawing circles.
Li Mu:...
After some discussion, he eventually took the Lion Heart Sword symbolizing the Elf Army’s general commander...
