Chapter 295
Lately, the Beiqi players had encountered two issues that caused them headaches .
First of all, it was the Land of the Nine Luminaries in the west .
His Excellency of the Nine Luminaries was unable to bear the players’ successive raids anymore . Therefore, he started intercepting their moves, reducing the chances of successful pillages .
The messengers visited again to nominate a new King of Beiqi .
Of course, the players were against the idea, but the messengers asked them to reconsider the matter . Otherwise, Beiqi and the Nine Luminaries would definitely go to war in the near future .
Although they didn’t reject the messengers outright, the players understood that it would only be another temporary solution . The war would eventually come someday no matter what they decided now .
The players might be worried about the battle, but they were never afraid of it as they were certain about one thing .
No matter what, the Land of the Nine Luminaries would fall into their hands sooner or later .
Another problem was from the Underworld Sea in the east .
Recently, the Death Clan no longer launched invasions . Since the players could no longer hunt them for resources, they went to the Void Ocean to search for them .
However, they were astounded to discover the disappearance of the Death Clan in the Void Ocean .
In order to get to the bottom of it, many players visited the Kuilong Ocean in hopes of finding the Sea King and having a really good talk with him .
The players soon found out the reason after their trip to the Kuilong Ocean .
A war had arisen between the Mu Te Sea Empire and its surrounding forces .
The Death Clan had left the Void Ocean because the battle the Sea King was facing was in desperate need of troops .
A detailed investigation led the players to unveil the cause of the war . It was related to the force from Langya Island who fought with them during the Sea King’s Nation Establishing Ceremony .
The power of Langya Island alone was no match for the Sea King’s Mu Te Sea Nation .
Nevertheless, Langya Island had entrenched themselves in the Kuilong Ocean for many years and had made many acquaintances . Moreover, the owner of Langya Island had roamed everywhere to drum up support, conveying a message to the many forces of the Kuilong Ocean .
If the Sea King dominated them, the status and income of the many forces in the Kuilong Ocean would be affected . According to the Sea King’s character, he would definitely not back off when facing the many forces .
The leaders of the forces had contemplated the matter and had originally decided not to meddle in the confrontation between Langya Island and the Sea King . After all, sticking their necks out and risking their clans’ lives to fight was a foolish decision .
However, the owner of Langya Island gave them an irresistible offer . After all the forces in the Kuilong Ocean had formed a union to wipe out the Mu Te Sea Nation, Langya Island would not take its share during the splitting of land and resources .
The Mu Te Sea Nation possessed 35 percent of resources of the Kuilong Ocean . The offer was awfully tempting . What was more was that the Kuilong Ocean would fall back to the days where the many forces counterbalanced each other after the downfall of the Mu Te Sea Nation .
The very existence of the Mu Te Sea Nation was prone to spike endless wars . All of the forces found the two benefits appealing .
Therefore, the war began .
The Sea King would not have dreamed that every force in the Kuilong Ocean would gang up against him this time .
Facing such a situation, the Sea King had no choice but to channel the Death Clan that was in the Void Ocean into the battle as a shield .
However, the Mu Te Sea Nation was undoubtedly at a disadvantage confronting the army of a coalition of all the other forces in the Kuilong Ocean .
After understanding the situation, each of the players slammed the table and stood up in rage .
The Sea King was the cash cow they had raised for a long time . The players could not bear to see it being milked by other forces .
The current situation was like pests eating a chive they had planted . As farmers, they naturally had to exterminate the pests for the chive to grow better .
Therefore, the players had a meeting and a colossal fleet of Specter Warships gathered at the Liuli Coast . They were prepared to sail and stir up trouble .
…
At the same time, the commander of the Fifth District Military Base of the United States had acquired approval from management on his report . The game, Battle Online, was officially launched throughout the military .
Before that, they had looked into the game thoroughly . They were assured that dying in the game would not adversely affect the mental health of the players . They had also fully experimented and tested the gaming pods from the Black Sea Corporation . After the two aspects were guaranteed to be free of issues, it would not be a problem to launch the game to their troops .
The degree of simulation of the game was sufficient to train soldiers without risking any casualties .
It could also save them ammunition and resources used for training . In the long term, the proposal was plausible while saving a huge cost for the military .
They had even obtained Lu Wu’s phone number from different channels, in hopes of purchasing the game and the technology behind it at a stupendous price .
Lu Wu rejected them right away . It was not up for negotiation .
The National Defense of America was angered by Lu Wu’s attitude, but they could not locate him at all . They could not even find out the identity of Battle Online’s boss behind the scenes with their current database .
The exasperated National Defense of America suggested a second proposal .
To cooperate!
This time, they hoped the Battle Online Corporation could produce a brand new, tailor-made virtual world without any other players for the sake of military training .
The setting could be the same as the Land of Naraka, only that it must completely stand alone without being linked to other devices .
Lu Wu still rejected them . What a joke! Naraka did exist in reality . Lu Wu couldn’t just duplicate it even if he wanted to .
The negotiation was unsuccessful . So, the National Defense of America had no choice but finally decided to dispatch troops onto the public server in the presence of civilian players . They wanted to try it out first . If the result was proven effective, they would try talking to Lu Wu again .
No one could be happier than the Black Sea Corporation with the National Defense of America’s decision, because numerous orders had come in from the military .
Although Lu Wu would receive a commission of five percent, he was not concerned about the money . He cared more about the army from the National Defense of America .
Once they had entered the game using the gaming pods, they were Lu Wu’s army, an army that even death could not free them from .
Lu Wu did not expect the National Defense of America to make such a decision .
A dumbfounded Lu Wu received an entire army from the National Defense of America as his subordinates while their souls were marked by the artifact .
Naraka’s combat power appeared to have a linear increase because of them .
After officially entering the game, the soldiers of the United States were initially complacent . They felt that the creatures would’ve definitely been wiped out with them joining the server .
However, on their first day, the entire army was flattened by the creatures in Naraka . Their original plan of building a military base in the Blue Valley Ruins had not even lasted for half a day when endless creatures invaded them .
Death, revival! Death, revival!
The National Defense of America’s power that dominated the world, when facing creatures whose attributes flattened them, was not worth mentioning .
At that moment, in order to fight the creatures, they had no other choice but to level up and increase their attributes like other players .
However, it was notable that the effect of training their troops was surprisingly good .
Although they couldn’t build a military base for expansion in the Land of Naraka, they altered their strategy . They started to form strongholds all over the Blue Valley Ruins and even recruited players to grow stronger .
Observing the National Defense of America ransacking their brains to occupy the Blue Valley Ruins, Lu Wu felt like laughing .
He had been troubled with the disadvantage the players there had .
The death rate In the Land of Naraka was too high after all . The difficulty level was way higher than Beiqi’s and Cangxu’s . The players were tortured into accepting that it was normal to die three or four times per day .
No one expected the National Defense of America to join in on the battle . Moreover, they were planning to expand the territory for Lu Wu .
With their help, the daily production rate of soul coins increased tremendously .
Lu Wu couldn’t help smiling like an old farmer .
