Qingcheng also felt helpless. Given her personality, keeping a secret for so long was almost suffocating her.
The entire process, from Chu Tian forcing Yi Zhi Rou Rou to betray them, to his angry withdrawal from the Inverse God Alliance, and then secretly helping Qingcheng capture a fortress in Blackwater City.
Only Qingcheng and Ma Deju knew about these events.
Even Gao Kai and Zhao Lei were kept in the dark.
When Yi Zhi Rou Rou revealed these details, Gao Kai and Zhao Lei were stunned.
After all this… it was all the boss's plan.
"Damn… Boss, you really made us work hard! And you… you dead Rou Rou, you even whipped my corpse last time! Come on… a one-on-one fight!" Zhao Lei grabbed a club and lunged to grab Yi Zhi Rou Rou by the collar.
Yi Zhi Rou Rou dodged with a laugh.
"You want to fight a Necromancer one-on-one? Have you no shame? If you're so tough, go fight my subordinates!"
As Yi Zhi Rou Rou spoke, over three million skeletons on the other side simultaneously gnashed their teeth, emitting a grating sound.
This sound made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
The sound was truly disgusting, even giving Chu Tian goosebumps.
"Alright, let's continue forward! Perhaps even more powerful battles await us!"
Chu Tian knew that it was impossible for only this many people to have come. The three major war zones had united, and their combat players numbered over a billion, as Tiandao World was a game for everyone. Naturally, it had to be linked to the national population.
These over nine million people were just a drop in the bucket. However, he now had the support of these players from the Northern War Zone. This battle had established his might, and almost everyone in the Northern War Zone now bowed to him. Looking at the guild leaders around him, they all expressed their willingness to sign contracts with the Inverse God Alliance. This instantly multiplied his available manpower countless times. He now had at least over ten million people. Add to that Rou Rou's over three million skeletons, and his Demonized Fel Energy Chariots. Safely reaching Dragon City would be significantly easier.
Furthermore, he needed to contact Xiao Ji Jiao, whom he had tricked. He should bring him into the fold as well; the allure of Dragon City should be quite enticing.
Yi Jian Po Tian was a big shot from the Western War Zone. He wondered if that last move had shocked him, or if it had only increased his hatred for Chu Tian. If it was the latter, he would likely return in the next wave, bringing not over nine million people, but perhaps over ninety million! As for the Eastern War Zone. He heard that Yu had returned. Where had that guy been hiding? He was an old enemy. Chu Tian had even occupied his base, Deng Xian Island. That guy must really hate him. Should he log off now and use his vast divine sense to pinpoint his location?
Chu Tian decided against it. He was powerful now, but his subordinates were still weak. He would use this as a training ground, allowing them to grow and familiarize themselves with combat quickly. When the time came to defend against the invasion from the Void God Realm, they would be indispensable.
With Yi Zhi Rou Rou's return, everyone was overjoyed. When he had left, everyone had been puzzled by Chu Tian's actions. They also found it hard to accept Yi Zhi Rou Rou's betrayal. It turned out that all of this had been Chu Tian's plan. Although they had mostly forgotten about it, they still couldn't bear to lose their old brother. Now that they were reunited, everyone's faces were beaming with smiles, and they were chatting with Yi Zhi Rou Rou.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian had returned to his chariot. The massive procession set off once more. This time, Yi Zhi Rou Rou's over three million skeletons took the vanguard. Behind them were the forces of the Inverse God Alliance and the Slaughter guild. On the left and right flanks were the troops led by the various guild leaders of the Northern War Zone. Following the chariots were Qingcheng's guild alliance of over three million people. During this time, Chu Tian had signed agreements with these guild leaders, all of whom were now affiliated with the Inverse God Alliance.
On the outer perimeter were countless solo players. Although their formation was chaotic, they surrounded their ranks like an iron bucket. These solo players, despite not having signed any agreements with the Inverse God Alliance, were all won over by Chu Tian. They had spontaneously formed a protective circle on the outside, shielding the regular army controlled by the Inverse God Alliance within.
Furthermore, Chu Tian had made a statement to them: all players from the Northern War Zone who participated in this battle could reside in Dragon City, with no restrictions on their freedom of movement. This caused an uproar among them, and countless players in the Northern War Zone who were still observing rushed to leave their borders.
Because this god-like man had said that all participating players could enter. This meant that those who hadn't fought would have to pay for teleportation if they wished to go to Dragon City. Once the Dragon City region was activated, the roads they were currently traveling would become monster spawn areas. If they wanted to reach it on foot or by flying, not only would it take a considerable amount of time, but they would likely be brutally ravaged by monsters. It was rumored that monsters would also appear in the sky, and they would be even more powerful than the ground monsters. Flying mounts would be utterly defenseless before them.
The area where Chu Tian and his group had been fighting was not too far. Moreover… because they had to wait for the Demonized Fel Energy Chariots to move, their speed couldn't be very high. With mounts that had 100% movement speed, they should be able to catch up. However, players with mounts that only had 60% movement speed would be in tears. This was because Chu Tian's group's movement speed was approximately equal to that. Therefore, chasing them now would only result in maintaining a parallel movement. Unless Chu Tian's group encountered combat ahead, slowing their pace. Even so, they had to try.
Chu Tian's convoy continued to move. They were approaching the outposts set up by the three major factions. There were countless sorcerers there. When they were still a hundred kilometers away, Yi Zhi Rou Rou flew to the top of the chariot.
"Shall I scout ahead?" he asked, volunteering.
"Go ahead, send out a small portion first, don't risk all of them at once!" Chu Tian nodded and instructed him.
"Got it?" Yi Zhi Rou Rou turned to leave. But halfway through, he turned back and asked, "Boss, you promised me a humanoid mecha, considering all the hardship I endured outside…"
"Get lost, get lost! You'll get yours!" Chu Tian rolled his eyes. When they had planned this together, this guy had immediately asked for a mecha. He still remembered it.
"Heh heh, thanks, Boss!" The guy turned and flew away. Approximately 500,000 skeletons from the skeleton army detached themselves, emitting a grating sound and shaking the ground as they ran. Their speed was much faster than mounts with 100% movement speed. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
The convoy proceeded slowly, steadily approaching Dragon City. Suddenly, Yi Zhi Rou Rou sent him a private message.
"Boss, there's no one here!"
Chu Tian was surprised: "No one?"
Yi Zhi Rou Rou: "Yes, they've all withdrawn, not a single person!"
Upon receiving this news, Chu Tian narrowed his eyes. What were they up to?
"Boss, look at the official forums!" The demon master behind him also shouted at this moment.
