Chapter 1890: Chapter 1890: Prairie Fire of Fury
Li Yao closed the communication and then began to review the information about the three Super Guilds.
After a while, Sister Li also sent a communication: "What do you want to do?"
It was obvious she was curious why Li Yao didn’t directly retake the small city, especially since there were already posts on the forum showing Li Yao facing off against a dozen Flying Mounts and then withdrawing.
The forum was abuzz with all kinds of opinions, but it couldn’t be denied that some people already thought Li Yao was intimidated by over twenty Super Guilds.
Many also said that being oppressed by so many guilds, backing down seemed normal.
Sister Li contacted Li Yao after receiving a message from Qin Feng Yi to see what he intended to do.
Li Yao smiled: "I want to kill. I never expected that after winning this war, there would still be people daring to provoke me. Do they really think my blade isn’t sharp enough?"
Sister Li sighed: "Interests, the spoils we gained this time were too great, naturally causing envy. Those resource points on the periphery are too important and valuable; it’s normal for someone to take risks for them."
"That’s a strong reason; I occupied the main city for these resource points. Do they expect me to guard an empty city? These people really think I would compromise?" Li Yao’s suppressed anger flared again.
"In their view, the main city is already the greatest interest, and given their vast forces, they naturally think they can take a bite. Never underestimate the greed of these people," Sister Li said.
Li Yao nodded: "I do know what to do. My only concern now is that if those people can’t deal with me, they might vent their anger on your company."
This time, Sister Li confidently smiled: "A bunch of nobodies dare to call themselves a financial group. My family’s business doesn’t overlap much with theirs, and when it does, it’s them asking me for favors. If they’re not afraid to die and dare to convert the game’s grievances into real-life issues, then that’s perfect. I’ve been benevolent for a long time, but I wouldn’t mind reminding them of a few things."
Li Yao suddenly remembered Sister Li’s resume, realizing that from developing a small company to its current state, it was impossible for her to achieve this without an iron fist.
"Then I’m relieved," Li Yao said.
"Mm, then I’ll just wait for the show," Sister Li said before hanging up the communication.
Li Yao controlled the Void King Insect: "Target these coordinates, conduct consecutive spatial jumps without considering energy consumption."
The King Insect conveyed an obedient will, continuously conducting spatial transitions as its speed increased, while energy units were constantly thrown into the energy pool by others, keeping the King Insect’s energy at peak levels.
A quarter of an hour later, the King Insect had appeared above one of the player guilds’ camp cities.
"Annihilate this place entirely, leave nothing behind," Li Yao commanded.
At the same time, Li Yao continuously summoned his pets, and all Void Portals opened, releasing a massive number of bugs and dragons flying out of the Void Portals.
Countless Void Bugs had already rushed down from the King Insect, like a torrential rain hitting the outer walls of the camp city.
Eerie alarms sounded, and soon some aerial forces took to the sky, while a large number of soldiers rushed onto the walls.
However, whether it was the air force or the defense army, facing Li Yao’s army’s attack proved utterly inadequate.
The Dragonfly Army, an elite air force that didn’t fall behind even when facing the Ace Air Force of the Sub-dimension Ogre, now simply outmatched the players’ forces, resulting in all-out slaughter upon engagement.
Even the troops on the walls, barely sustained by the world-level chiefs of the Ogres, struggled, let alone these defending soldiers.
They fell one by one, a completely one-sided massacre. The guild’s walls couldn’t withstand the Void Bugs’ assault, and in less than five minutes, a section of the wall had collapsed.
"Damn you, Prairie Fire, you must be insane. This is a declaration of war. Aren’t you afraid of being sanctioned by the factions?"
The warrior who had spoken with Li Yao half an hour ago, the president of the Red Cloud Guild, appeared but was slain by dragons upon taking to the sky.
This time, he dared not ascend and instead used Sound Amplification Magic to communicate with Li Yao from the tallest building in the city.
Li Yao didn’t go out and used Sound Amplification Magic to say, "I warned you to learn about the rights of a Grand Lord, and you evidently didn’t. I can tell you directly that I’m a Grand Lord recognized by all four factions. The entire area influenced by the main city is my land. You occupying my city within this area is already a declaration of war. No one will speak on your behalf even if I annihilate you. Not to mention attacking here, even if I assault Feathermoon Stronghold, as long as I can take it, the Light Faction wouldn’t have the authority to accuse me."
"You..." The Red Cloud president was furious but couldn’t think of a retort.
The female player screamed, "Are you not afraid we’ll gang up on you?"
Li Yao replied disdainfully, "Attack me? Fine, bring it on. Twenty-odd Super Guilds? Excuse my frankness, but while others may fear them, to me they’re just a bunch of nobodies. As for in real life, any means you have, I’ll take them on. But if you think I’m easily bullied, feel free to try. My real-life Mecha could use some practical training, and the high-ups need combat data yet don’t dare let me onto the battlefield. If you provoke me and I retaliate, I’m sure they’d be happy to see it happen."
The Red Cloud president felt a chill; in that alien exchange meeting, Li Yao’s combat capabilities were terrifying. Now, Li Yao’s power had grown, and who knew what level it had reached? Originally planning to use real-world resources, he hesitated. Besides, Li Yao was affiliated with the military, and provoking him might mean even their supporter wouldn’t be able to protect them.
"Prairie Fire, you’re eating all the meat and not even letting others sip the broth? Doing this only breeds hatred, it won’t last," the Red Cloud president said.
Li Yao sneered even more, "The meat I’ve cooked myself, even if I’m full, without my permission, no one is allowed to touch even a scrap of bone, let alone the more nutritious broth. You want to play? I’ll indulge you, let’s have some fun."
Li Yao ignored whatever the Red Cloud president said after that, leaving the Red Cloud Guild members in despair.
Because even as they spoke, one-third of the front line wall was breached, and the Worm Tribe’s army had already invaded the city, while their air force crumbled in short order.
They knew there was a huge gap between them and Li Yao, but they didn’t expect their best army couldn’t hold out against Li Yao’s forces for even a quarter-hour.
Especially with Li Yao’s pets leading the charge, without the Dragon Queen’s intervention, but the Magic Armor, Water Elemental Viscount, Lord of the Abyss, Hydra, Spider Tank, Turret, Fire Hawk—each one of them was not something they could resist.
Moreover, when they appeared together, the city’s forces couldn’t hold out and were pierced through, then overwhelmed by the advancing Worm Tribe.
The scene was completely one-sided, like a domino effect.
From above, the Worm Tribe appeared like an arrow entering the city from the walls, swiftly spreading across the entire city like a tide...
