The Great Wilderness City fell silent for a moment.

In the next instant, countless voices soared into the sky.

"We will never surrender!"

"No surrender! No capitulation!"

"I am not afraid to die!"

No matter who they were, no matter their profession, they were all essentially voicing one phrase, or rather, one word...

"Never!"

None of them would ever submit!

Feeling the emotional feedback from the skill "Public Opinion," Lin Ke’s heart became resolute.

"I understand everyone’s choice now..." he whispered, then raised the Magma Staff and struck it heavily on the ground, "We will never yield!"

Lin Ke’s voice rose, spreading across the entire plane of Great Wilderness City, with countless creatures in the Lava Swamp raising their heads to look towards the city’s direction.

"We are going to fight with the Forest Hut! To battle with them! Fight to the very last moment!"

"We will confront them in the woods! Fight in the fields! Clash at the rivers!"

"We will expend the last drop of our blood to battle the enemy!"

"No matter who they are, if they’ve ever invaded Great Wilderness City, if they wish to obliterate our domain, we will fight them to the death!"

"To end war with war, to stop the lance with a lance! An eye for an eye, blood for blood!"

"Prepare for battle, ready the troops, and aim for the northwest, I will... lead the charge!"

Lin Ke’s final words were forcefully declared.

Thus, the streets, shops, and neighborhoods of Great Wilderness City echoed with roars and shouts.

"I will follow your will for the rest of my life!"

"Only Lin Ke can lead us!"

"Fight the invaders to the end!"

"In Great Wilderness City, in Azanen, in Magma Territory, there are no cowards!"

Battle, battle, battle!

Kill, kill, kill!

Everyone’s courage was ignited!

People who were usually calm and quiet were all stirred up when faced with issues concerning their homeland.

Dare to fight!

Can fight!

Victory is certain!

On the street, the bakery owner who was previously slumped down suddenly stood up, with tears streaming from his eyes like a waterfall compared to a trickle before.

"Damn Forest Hut!"

The bakery owner tore off his baker’s outfit, revealing a chest full of hair.

While many on the street had not yet reacted, he ran into the shop to change into the Azanen military uniform and dashed toward the city hall.

In a juice bar in a shopping mall, a young man who had been flirting with a girl, after hearing Lin Ke’s speech, abruptly slammed the table.

"Forget about dating, I’m joining the army!" the young man roared, then apologetically said to the delicate and beautiful girl across from him, "Sorry, Delia, I..."

"Damn it! I almost had him!" Who knew that delicate girl would leap up, howl to the sky, and in the next moment be beside the young man, pulling him in for a fierce kiss: "I’ll go with you!"

The scenario was similar for the others in the juice bar.

Forget drinking juice!

Battle, battle, battle!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m a retired veteran, I’m heading back! Now, closing the shop!" The juice bar owner shouted, clearly not intending to keep the shop open.

Similar scenes unfolded in countless places and shops in Great Wilderness City.

Of course, Lin Ke’s followers reacted the most strongly.

"My great hammer will sweep across the land!" Lolita was the first to be thrilled.

She had been wearing loose pajamas, playing mahjong with Rica in Lin Ke’s villa like an ordinary housewife.

But now, somehow she had donned a set of shiny black armor, glowing on her body.

She carried a large hammer on her shoulder, excitement written all over her.

With Lolita’s excitement, other followers were also stirred up, cries of wild enthusiasm resonating around.

"The Capitalist will leech off the Forest Hut!" Bald Jack’s eyes shone red, smiling with a sinister look.

Watson glanced at Bald Jack, clenched his fist which shone faintly with a metallic glimmer, and snorted coldly, "Beneath the workers’ iron fist, everything is a paper tiger."

[Capitalist] and [Worker].

Nick sat between them, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, ensuring that with him around, the members of the Great Wilderness Knight Order would suffer minimal casualties.

Of course, he only worried for Granny Hisai’s mental state nearby.

"Hahaha! I’m going to blow them up! Blow them up! Hehehe, hahaha, hahahaha!" Granny Hisai widened her eyes, as if they might pop out, hunching her back, waving her hands, laughter booming from her mouth.

Like a mad old woman.

She was even so thrilled that she wanted to jump off the Great Wilderness Tower, but Ove managed to stop her in time.

"Perhaps you should continue with your research." Ove blocked Granny Hisai with the Thunder Staff, embarrassed, "I’ll give you money, even my salary for the month after next."

"Deal." Granny Hisai, who had been acting like a madwoman, suddenly became still like a maiden over a hundred years old, as if even the wrinkles on her face calmed down, then poked Ove’s waist: "Actually, you’ve owed me for several months now!"

Ove nodded helplessly.

The Financial Goddess, not far off, seeing someone of her same rank being so easily handled, glanced at Lin Ke, exchanging looks: "Your teacher, aren’t you going to control her?"

Lin Ke was about to respond with a look, when Rica also burst out: "Kill, kill, kill! I’ll drain them dry!"

Rica’s green eyes were filled with murderous intent, her face tense, clearly roused by Lin Ke’s speech.

Lin Ke retracted the optical skills and did not quiet the excited crowd, instead pulling out the Faser’s Key.

"I’m going to Faser, bring a few people along." Lin Ke activated the key, infusing it with immense magic power.

Space-time transmission is very consuming of magic, with consumption varying based on volume, weight, magic content, soul strength, and other factors.

Especially transmission between planes of life is more stringent.

But in general, for professionals with condensed magic power, it’s perfectly manageable.

Of course, if Lin Ke wants to bring people along, the others need to input magic themselves.

Fortunately, there was already a large Space-Time Teleportation Array between Faser and Great Wilderness City, making it convenient for Lin Ke to lead troops.

Faser had reformed and opened up long ago.

And it was full of schools and universities. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

They were just waiting for Lin Ke, their former leader—the King of Lava Buck’s order, to open the path for exchange and integration between Faser and Naseng.

And now, Lin Ke was to train the troops.

Forest Hut definitely had more forces than they showed openly.

After the excitement, Lin Ke needed to ensure the safety of his soldiers.

They mustn’t fall to a surprise attack.

The Forest Hut certainly had a hidden plane.

Lin Ke didn’t want them to be ambushed by a legion from a sub-plane during an intense battle.
