Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 388 - 251: Breaking the Heavens and Launching the First Major Battle
"Hu Lei! What’s the point of playing tricks like this? You’re the lord of a city!" City Lord Diroya’s brow furrowed, itching for a fight with Hu Lei right then and there.
"City Lord Diroya! You’d better not meddle in the affairs of our Holy Blood Mercenary Corps." A captain from the pressured Holy Blood Mercenary Corps said coldly, "We of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps always seek revenge! Since he killed our genius from the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, he must pay the price!"
Diroya, somewhat incensed, said, "Does your Holy Blood Mercenary Corps not know reason? It was stated before the match that life and death are borne by oneself. Are you allowed to kill, but others are not allowed to kill you? Don’t forget, previously Tu An killed my confidant and a Crystal Race elder!"
"We don’t care about that, but anyone who dares to kill someone from our Holy Blood Mercenary Corps must pay the price!" The captain from the pressured Holy Blood Mercenary Corps spoke righteously, showing no sign of backing down despite being restrained, "Since he killed Tu An, he must die!"
"Fine! Very good! So what if I prevent your retaliation?" Diroya couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
Though he had long heard that the Flame Horn Race was a bunch of brainless battle maniacs, always defying heaven and earth, he thought it was just a joke; there couldn’t be such foolish people in the world.
But now he had to admit, people in reality were even more ridiculously foolish than those in novels, completely ignoring his status as City Lord.
"City Lord Diroya! If you bully the weak as the strong, our leader won’t let you off!" The restrained captain looked at Diroya, seemingly indifferent.
"You..." Diroya, at a loss for words, glanced at Hu Lei, who was still leisurely drinking tea, and suddenly understood why Hu Lei was confident he could take Chasing Light City.
This group of people from the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps were fundamentally unreasonable.\ If Tu An kept winning, then Chasing Light City would be done for, but if Tu An died, they would face the entire Holy Blood Mercenary Corps’ retaliation. So regardless of the outcome of the match, whether win or lose, Chasing Light City had no peace.
"Old Di, I advise you to let it go, let young people solve young people’s problems, with you always pressing it down it’s not a good thing." Hu Lei brewed another cup of tea, leisurely said.
"You!" Diroya glared at Hu Lei, his mind racing, "Hu Lei, do you want to start a full-scale war?"
Lin Qi representing Chasing Light City in the battle, if he doesn’t intervene, in the future who in Chasing Light City would dare follow his orders, who would respect him?
Not to mention, the dozens of members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps present were no ordinary experts, but truly reckless maniacs, each carrying a heavy ion bomb, capable of wiping out all life within a 50-meter radius in one second upon detonation, a means many mercenaries in the wild used when they knew they wouldn’t survive, to take others down with them.
Just like some mercenaries who attacked martial artists in the cities, the Defense Corps in cities have suffered from this.
Fortunately, heavy ion bombs are extremely costly to make, even major cities don’t have many reserved, they are only used in city annihilation, but for the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, for a Bone Forging Realm expert to carry one is still achievable.
"I have no such plan, and you should know, it’s not beneficial for either of us." Hu Lei shook his head, speaking calmly, "However, the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps is not as reasonable as I am, if you don’t give them an explanation, they might explode."
"An explanation?" Diroya’s expression turned grim upon hearing this.
He truly regretted agreeing to the life-and-death duel, which put him in a difficult situation now.
And the people from Star Tower City watching this couldn’t help but smile. Although Lin Qi killing Tu An was unexpected, the current result was undoubtedly better.
At this time, experts from various races in Star Tower City couldn’t help but sympathize with Lin Qi.
Winning the competition but losing in life, facing pursuit from the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps for a lifetime, even the City Lord couldn’t save him.
"Damn! This bunch of barbarians! They can’t even accept defeat!" Elder Xiang glared at the arrogant members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps who were held down, fury blazing in his eyes, yet he could do nothing. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The strength of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps was unquestionable, even the Red Moon Commerce had given up back then, indeed the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps had the capital to be arrogant.
Once the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps turned hostile, the City Lord was powerless, as their strength was unmatched.
While everyone in Chasing Light City was at a loss, Lin Qi completed his scavenging of the spoils, taking everything he could from Tu An, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
Although taking spoils was a common practice, doing it right under the noses of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, stripping their genius bare, was beyond common mentality.
"City Lord, can I get my reward of one hundred thousand Energy Crystal Stones now?" Lin Qi walked up to Diroya, unashamedly demanding.
"This... I can’t spare a hand right now..." Diroya, watching an oblivious Lin Qi, felt a little crumble inside.
Is now really the time for a reward?
He was currently suppressing the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps to prevent them from attacking, couldn’t Lin Qi see that?
"Can’t spare a hand?" Lin Qi looked at Diroya, who wielded his power to hold down the members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, and nodded, "That’s easy to handle."
With that, Lin Qi approached the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps members, took out a pitch-black mallet, and struck one member’s head, blood instantly pooling on the ground.
"You!"
"How dare you?!"
Hu Lei, who had been drinking tea, watched in shock, frozen in place.
These were members of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps!
Even he wouldn’t dare offend them, yet Lin Qi had killed them all, one after another...
At that moment, not just Hu Lei, but even Diroya, who was restraining the Holy Blood Mercenaries, was stunned.
He couldn’t understand what Lin Qi was trying to do.
To kill so many of the Holy Blood Mercenaries without hesitation, completely offending them...
"They wanted to kill me, am I not allowed to kill them?" Lin Qi asked the two stunned City Lords, completely unconcerned.
After his battle with the Blood Coagulation Realm expert Tu An, transforming into an Extraordinary Life Form, he no longer feared Blood Coagulation Realm experts. Especially after obtaining Energy Crystal Stones, he could use the Cultivation Tower to have players break through to the Bone Forging Realm, further improving his strength quickly.
"What you’ve said makes sense." Hu Lei couldn’t help but nod, a slight smile on his lips, "But do you know the consequence of your actions?"
"It’s just another battle." Lin Qi said nonchalantly.
"If the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps truly wants to fight!" Diroya gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Chasing Light City isn’t to be trifled with!"
"Fine! You guys are impressive!" Hu Lei couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, chuckling lightly, "With all the Holy Blood Mercenaries dead, I’m curious how you’ll face an all-out war against both the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps and Star Tower City!"
Diroya took a deep breath and replied, "Then come at us if you dare!"
He realized, Lin Qi’s approach was the only correct one when dealing with such scoundrels; there is only one word for it.
Fight!
To defend Chasing Light City, a comprehensive war was the only way, exhausting against both Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, there was no alternative.
For a moment, discussions broke out among the various races in Chasing Light City, with a mix of concern and optimism.
The optimism stemmed from the rule in Domain City, forbidding interference from Blood Coagulation Realm experts, and the Holy Blood Mercenaries would be no exception unless they risked Domain City’s wrath, as they had no hiding places like the Wraith Mountain Range. Plus, with Lin Qi beyond top-level Bone Forging experts, ordinary Bone Forging Realm was not a match.
But the worry remained; the Holy Blood Mercenaries joining the fray were like facing a squad of madmen.
With the entire city plunged into chaos after the announcement of total warfare from City Lord Diroya, no one expected the once peaceful Chasing Light City to plunge into conflict once more, now against two massive forces: Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps.
Amidst the chaos engulfing the entire city, players at Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall were in frenzy.
"What’s happening? Is this a major campaign for Chasing Light City’s defense?"
