"You've taken down the city gate already? I haven't done anything yet!"

Xu Ruofeng looked at the empty city wall in surprise, feeling mixed emotions.

Logically speaking, he should be happy that they captured the city gate so easily.

However, the process of capturing the city gate was so easy that he couldn't help but feel it was unreal.

Moreover, he had just learned from Chen Yan about the persecution of the giant blacksmith tribe by the Shanghu Association. He was filled with anger and was thinking of venting it on the defenders.

As a result, the defenders of Guanhai City ran away, leaving Xu Ruofeng with nowhere to vent his anger. He felt aggrieved and depressed.

Seeing that Xu Ruofeng looked indignant, Chen Yan could understand his feelings, so he handed him the Poké Ball flag of Firefly Town.

"Who said you didn't do anything? The glorious task of planting the flag is now given to you."

"Go, plant our flag on the top of Guanhai City and tell Lord Ryan that we have taken the city gate!"

Xu Ruofeng curled his lips and said, "Planting a flag is not a task at all. Anyone can do it."

Although Xu Ruofeng said he was reluctant, he still took the flag with both hands honestly.

He held the flag and ran to the top of the city wall happily. He kicked down the flag of Guanhai City and then put their flag on top.

Players cheered as the Poké Ball flag fluttered in the wind.

Although they basically just played a supporting role in the attack on the city gate and had little sense of participation.

But the joy of victory still makes them excited, especially the newbies and life players who are participating in the war activity for the first time, they are even more excited.

It’s a pity that this game doesn’t have a photo and screenshot function, otherwise the Poké Ball flag on the top of the city would definitely become a popular background.

Compared to newcomers to the war, old players who have experienced many wars can still remain calm.

They quickly ended the celebration and turned to look at Chen Yan, waiting for the next instruction.

Seeing this, Chen Yan did not hesitate and stood up and said loudly:
"Okay, let's stop celebrating. I understand how you feel, but the war is not over yet. The enemy may counterattack at any time."

"We still have to remain vigilant and must not get carried away. You don't want to fail at the last minute."

Chen Yan still has a lot of prestige among the player community, and his words successfully calmed the players' emotions.

Then he directed the players to familiarize themselves with the city walls, clear the battlefield, prevent ambushes, find usable city defense equipment, and prepare to defend the city walls.

When Xu Ruofeng heard that Chen Yan had no intention of continuing the attack, he suddenly became anxious. The anger in his heart had not yet been vented.

"Yanzi, why don't we pursue our victory?"

Chen Yan glanced at him and joked, "Oh, you even learned to use idioms."

Without waiting for Xu Ruofeng to respond, Chen Yan asked, "Why should we chase after them?"

"Because we chased the enemy away, this is a good opportunity to give them a good beating!" Xu Ruofeng answered as a matter of course.

Chen Yan shook his head: "We didn't drive the enemy away. They retreated on their own initiative."

"Is there any difference?" Xu Ruofeng said with a puzzled look on his face.

Chen Yan explained: "There is a big difference. If the enemy is defeated by us, then we may be able to chase them all the way and even let the defeated troops attack the guards in the city."

"The problem is that the enemy did not collapse, but voluntarily abandoned the city wall. Although it looks like they are fleeing, they still have the ability to fight back."

"In the final analysis, the enemy is just frightened by the flying troops. They are afraid of the flying troops, not us knights on the ground."

"If we really push them into a corner, they will most likely fight to the death with us. Then we will be facing elite monsters that have been cornered and entered a violent state."

"Besides, we are playing away from home. We are not as familiar with Guanhai City as they are. We have neither the right time, place, nor people. What can we use to chase them? Your courage and anger?"

Xu Ruofeng scratched his head awkwardly, obviously he also felt that what Chen Yan said made sense.

Chen Yan looked towards the inner city of Guanhai City and said, "I know you are angry, but don't worry, the war has just begun, and you will have time to vent your anger."

Xu Ruofeng was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? You didn't even tell me to stay rational? I thought you were going to say something like 'Don't let anger dominate your brain'."

"Why should I advise you? We are players. Of course we have to follow our emotions. Otherwise, why do we play games?" Chen Yan said with a smile.

"To be honest, if Lord Ryan hadn't appointed me as the commander of the vanguard and given me the task of taking down the city wall, I would have led you into the city long ago."

"No matter what the weather, location and people are, we can be resurrected after we die. Even if the city wall is really taken by the enemy's counterattack, we can take it down the second time if we can take it down the first time."

Looking at the increasingly wanton smile on Chen Yan's face, Xu Ruofeng's eyes couldn't help but widen.

He grabbed Chen Yan's shoulders and shook him hard:

"I don't care who you are, get off Yan Zi right now!"

Chen Yan took Xu Ruofeng's hand away and said unhappily, "What's wrong with you again?"

"You are crazy, why have you become so crazy?"

Xu Ruofeng couldn't find the right words to describe it for a moment.

"Do whatever you want? Do whatever you want? Just do it as soon as you open your eyes?" Chen Yan thought of a few words for Xu Ruofeng.

"It's almost like that. This doesn't look like you." Xu Ruofeng looked Chen Yan up and down curiously.

Chen Yan felt itchy all over because of his stare, so he waved his hand and said:
"In fact, every player is like this, it's just that some are more obvious and some are more subtle."

"The game officials also know this. They know very well that if they don't restrict the players, they will ruin this game that is infinitely close to reality."

"So the game officials guided us through Lord Ryan, gradually turning us into the lawful camp and creating a relatively harmonious gaming environment."

"However, players themselves are synonymous with disorder and chaos, and they certainly don't want to be constrained all the time."

"That's why the game officials launched the war event, giving us a place to vent."

"On the battlefield we can do whatever we want, and unleash our desire for destruction."

"Of course, the premise is that we don't violate the player ban and we can't intentionally harm civilians, lest we be controlled by desire in turn."

Xu Ruofeng nodded, not quite understanding: "So you plan to vent now? Then why don't you choose to chase?"

Chen Yan once again looked at Xu Ruofeng as if he were a fool:

"Didn't I just say that I am the commander of the player vanguard team? If the city wall is lost, I will be held responsible."

"You know how difficult it is to improve Lord Ryan's favorability. I don't need to reduce his favorability just to vent my desires."

"What's more, we have only taken the city gate and have not yet occupied Guanhai City. There will always be a battle to fight later. Don't forget that we players are the main force in this war."

"Let's not talk about the game officials. Even if there is no interference from them, given Lord Ryan's intelligence, he will not leave players like us who can revive infinitely unused."

“So we.”

Before Chen Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the noise of other players. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the players waving and shouting happily towards the city.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yan immediately realized that the only person so popular among players was his own lord.

"Speaking of Lord Ryan, Lord Ryan is here. Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome them into the city."

Xu Ruofeng did not take any action after hearing this, but just looked at Chen Yan with an inexplicable look.

"Why are you still standing there? Go open the city gate."

Chen Yan said with a frown, he always felt that Xu Ruofeng's eyes looked familiar.

"Why open the city gate? There is no city gate in Guanhai City. Wasn't it destroyed by the unicorn rhinoceros?" Xu Ruofeng responded with a grin.

Chen Yan: "."

He finally understood why he felt that Xu Ruofeng's eyes were familiar, because Xu Ruofeng perfectly replicated the look he had just given him as if he was looking at a fool.

"What I meant was to go down and welcome Lord Ryan. Opening the city gate is just a metaphor, just like washing feet is not just for washing feet." Chen Yan explained stutteringly.

"What? You have other purpose for washing feet?" Xu Ruofeng exclaimed, with a teasing smile on his face.

"What the hell?"
-

On the other side of the moat, Ryan looked up at the Poké Ball flag on the top of the city wall, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The player did not disappoint him and took down the city wall so quickly. It must be that the "carpet bombing" tactic that Eve mentioned worked.

Although Eve had been keeping it secret and only told him the name of a tactic in order to give him a surprise, Ryan had already roughly guessed how to implement this tactic.

When Ryan first heard the name of this tactic, he thought the player had lit up the technology tree and developed something like black powder.

But then he thought again, influenced by Pokémon, players were not very interested in the research and development of thermal weapons.

After all, the black powder they spent so much time and effort to develop may not be as powerful as a jet of flame.

Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to develop technological weapons in a game with extraordinary powers?

Instead of spending this time developing technology, it would be better to improve the strength of Pokémon.

Especially when players learned that there are Pokémon comparable to gods in the Pokémon world, some life-oriented players who were still insisting on lighting up the weapon technology tree gave up and turned to climbing the livelihood technology tree.

Therefore, Ryan does not think that players can develop black powder in a short period of time.

Then he remembered that Williams had once reported to him about the cultivation of hazelnut balls.

Ryan naturally knew that the hazelnut ball was prone to self-explosion, and then he figured out what the "carpet bombing" tactic was.

I have to admit that players' ideas are indeed wild and they know how to utilize the characteristics of Pokémon themselves.

In terms of power and stability, hazelnut balls are much stronger than black powder.

Even in terms of cost, Hazelnut Balls have an advantage, because they can be used repeatedly and the cost is just some Pokémon food.

"This tactic can be promoted on a large scale. In the future, siege battles will become simpler."

"Of course, the premise is that we can gain air superiority. Bombers also need fighter protection."

"It seems that we still need to expand the number of flying troops, and we need to find a way to target the flying troops as soon as possible. After all, other forces can also copy this tactic."

"When this war is over, the bounty on the Giant Forge Clan can be revoked. I can also send people to look for surviving Giant Forges and train air defense forces."

Ryan was thinking about the impact of the "carpet bombing" tactics in his mind. He had never thought about, nor had the ability to hide the news of this war.

Guanhai City has a large population, and there is also a black market, a place where filth and corruption are hidden, and it has many information channels.

Once this war is over, Ryan and his troops' strength, as well as their tactics, will be exposed to other forces.

So he had to plan ahead and always be one step ahead of them.

Just as Ryan was thinking about how to establish an air defense force, Noz next to him said cautiously:
"Master Ryan, since the God Vanguard has completed the mission, can you return the mount Pokémon to us?"

Ryan glanced at Noz with interest when he heard this: "Why? Are you afraid that they will steal your Pokémon?"

"This"

Noz didn't say much, but the look on his face said it all.

There's no way. After spending some time together, he can't say he knows the players' personalities inside out, but he can say he has a pretty good understanding of them.

In his eyes, the players had long lost the halo of visitors from the divine realm and turned into lawless scoundrels.

These guys will do anything as long as it's profitable.

Not to mention stealing their Pokémon, even if it's Lord Ryan's... Well, forget about Lord Ryan, the only person the visitors from the God Realm dare not mess with is their lord.

But except for Lord Ryan, there is no visitor from the divine world that the gods dare not offend, and even Noz has suffered greatly from him.

The thought of his dragon-headed hamster being tricked into playing a whack-a-mole game by them made me feel uncomfortable, as even the tunnel where he hid was dug by the dragon-headed hamster.

Moreover, he himself was frequently harassed by female visitors from the realm of gods, who would touch him at any time. As a result, he had to wear armor when going out every day. Noz could not help but sigh.

Ryan saw the melancholy written all over Noz's face and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

It seems that Noz has been troubled by the players, but it’s a good thing this way, so that he doesn’t look bitter and resentful all day long.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll ask them to return the mount Pokémon." Ryan said, trying to suppress his smile.

"Although the visitors from the divine world are the main force in this war, you knights must also participate."

"This is a good opportunity to hone your fighting abilities and prevent you from developing a habit of relying on visitors from the divine realm."

"This is our world, and we have to protect it ourselves!"

Noz agreed with Ryan's point of view very much. He also felt that the visitors from the divine world would leave sooner or later, and this world would have to be protected by the natives in the future.

So he said in a firm tone: "I understand! We will never let you down!"

Ryan nodded with satisfaction: "I believe you can do it."

"Get ready to enter the city. Taking down the city gate is just the beginning. The battle to come will be even more intense."

Ryan knew very well that those two old foxes would not sit still and wait for death.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon engage in street fighting, and the entire Guanhai City will become a battlefield!

Ryan looked at the fluttering flag again and muttered to himself:
"Let's fight. The more intense the better. Not only will it help the players improve their strength and hone the indigenous people, it can also deal a heavy blow to the Chamber of Commerce."

"The power of the Chamber of Commerce is deeply rooted in Guanhai City. I don't have the time to slowly reform and clean it up. I just want to tear it down and rebuild it."

"After all, a new order can only be born from ruins!" (End of this chapter)
