Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 969 - 678: Barely Half a Day

"We’ve won, we’ve already won."

On the airship "Goddess," Demacia stood by the crystal window of the cabin, gazing through the telescope at the city below engulfed in smoke, his expression excited.

Then, he turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Dongdong beside him:

"Dongdong, you’re amazing! How did you come up with the idea of convincing Sofia to write a manifesto? The effect is incredible! Goodness... the whole city is about to revolt!"

Dongdong smiled proudly:

"This is called the people’s war!"

As she spoke, she sighed:

"However, I didn’t expect the effect to be so wonderful either. Even though I knew from gathering intelligence earlier that the oppression of the Twilight and Sunset Church on the subjects was even worse than the empire, I didn’t think it was to the extent that we could rally everyone with one call..."

"Hey, after all, it’s the Evil God! How many Evil Gods truly care about believers? It’s all about exploitation. If it weren’t for being unable to fight back, the commoners on Blue Star would have revolted long ago at this level."

Demacia said sarcastically.

Then, he curiously asked:

"By the way... was it also your idea to claim an army of two hundred thousand?"

"Isn’t this a basic operation of warfare? Surely we won’t be as honest as you were when fighting the Half-Beast, reporting the exact number of people we have?"

Dongdong pouted.

"Cunning enough! I like it!"

"Not bad on your part either, managing to get Magic Crystal Cannons from the humans."

"Heh, who says our business isn’t spread across the world! In the black market, there’s no problem money can’t solve!"

"Did you also use money to secretly obtain the Goddess’s summoning statue and activate it with an accompanying NPC for personal use?"

"Cough cough cough... Keep it low-key... This bug is my exclusive, let’s not get it blocked like the Divine Punishment Bomb before."

Watching the smoothly progressing battle, the two proud players started complimenting each other, making Little Xian Miao, who was piloting the airship, roll her eyes:

"Hey hey! The money for the Magic Crystal Cannons was from our Mengmeng Committee, and the Magic Stone Bombs were also prepared by us!"

"Can’t help it; we still can’t compare to Boss Miao in terms of wealth! The mining operations at Mountain Peak City are about to start, right? Can you sell a mining area to our Amway Chamber of Commerce then?"

Demacia said with a grin.

"Dream on, we barely have enough for ourselves. It was fun bombing, but it burned a lot of money."

Little Xian Miao rejected outright.

"That’s really quite a pity..."

Demacia sighed.

The players continued to chat while happily watching the battle unfold on the ground.

They didn’t plan to join in, after all... as members accompanying the "Goddess," they had all personally thrown Magic Stone Bombs and fired the Magic Crystal Cannons.

With the bonus from magic skills, throwing Magic Stone Bombs also granted experience. Although relying too much on external objects resulted in experience penalties, it still accumulated to a terrifying amount.

Of course, the Magic Crystal Cannon was entirely an external object, offering no experience or contributions.

So... after eliminating giant crossbows and Magic Crystal Cannons that posed a threat to the airborne players, even though there were still high-quality Magic Stones to power the Magic Crystal Cannons, not many airship players used them; instead, they continued throwing "bombs"...

Though not as accurate as the Magic Crystal Cannons, at least there were benefits.

The entire bombardment lasted about twenty minutes, and almost everyone who threw "bombs" from the airship leveled up at least once.

As for war credits?

That round of bombing had already piled up to a considerable height.

With no more pressure, the dozens of players on the airship leisurely watched the battle...

The atmosphere on the airship was light and joyful, while on the ground in Augus City, the fight was just starting. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As players descended from the sky into the city, intense street fighting broke out.

However, Folzer Fortress had already been completely wrecked in previous bombings, with its defending troops suffering heavy losses, so... the toughest fortress was no longer a threat.

And the justice-bringing players naturally began to massacre in the city like descending Heavenly Gods.

Of course, this was aimed at the devout believers of the God of Dusk and Sunset, as well as the Red Maple Kingdom soldiers.

After all, killing commoners didn’t bring any experience or contribution, and with missionary tasks, there was a possibility of task penalties, so few wanted trouble.

Having the example of the Oros Half-plane in mind, players already knew that the most suitable targets for missionary work were these oppressed and miserable commoners, with sincerity bringing success every time.

In other words, it was also a chance to improve one’s priest level!

Of course, that was to be done after the war...

Over five thousand players descended from the sky, their power at least at the Black Iron Peak level, were elite even among the Red Maple Kingdom’s military.

And at this moment, the kingdom’s elite forces had long gone north for King Otto’s holy war, leaving the city’s defending troops mainly regular conscripts.

Faced with fearless players, the morale of the defending troops, shattered by the bombardment, quickly collapsed.

In addition to the civilian uprisings ignited by the manifesto, enraged subjects joined players in pursuing Red Maple soldiers...

From the air, players descending, fighting, gradually forming orderly lines, accompanied by civilians waving farming tools and makeshift weapons, transformed into a flowing stream, surging toward Folzer Castle on the city hill.

Bright flags were raised among the players, constantly fluttering.

These were their battle flags.

Or rather... the sacred flag of the Elf Forest.

Unlike the different guilds, the flag’s main color was red, with only a golden scepter insignia, rumored to be designed by Dongdong, with nobody believing it lacked a hint of dark humor during its creation.

Overlooking the entire Augus City, it was a sea of people and red flags waving.

Amidst shouts and smoke billowing.

Led by the elves, the Folzer Castle on the hill, still emitting thick smoke, was quickly surrounded by furious subjects.

Within less than twenty minutes, with the fortress gates already teetering after previous bombings, it was finally breached by silver players descending into the fortress and other players and subjects responding from outside...

Less than half of the defenders survived the carpet bombing, and they promptly surrendered, while atop the fortress, a bright flag was hoisted high.

The Folzer Castle, praised for its unyielding defense, thus changed hands.

And over an hour later, the gates of Augus City slowly opened, and outside the city, the mighty Elf Army formed neat ranks, entering the city under the curious gaze of the subjects.

From this point forward, the entire Augus City was completely under player control.

From the initial airship assault to the final army entering the city, it took just half a day.
