All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

"So many people want to surrender after just one battle?"

Looking at the continuously increasing number of surrenders in front of him, Wang Zhifan, who was hiding in the different space, was quite surprised and didn't know how to comment for a moment.

He could understand that the players from the United States had been psychologically traumatized by the ambush and siege by the players from the alien world, but he did not think it was wise to surrender after just one battle. The two sides had not even fought a full-scale battle yet.

At this moment, Captain Li sent him a mental communication and said to him:
"Brother Wang! Can you hear me? Why did so many people surrender suddenly? What happened?"

Wang Zhifan did not reply to him immediately, but quickly activated his space ability to return to the Xiaguo team, appeared beside Captain Li, and said to several team members:
"The players from the United States were just surrounded by players from another world using their collective teleportation ability. They lost more than a dozen people trying to break out of the encirclement. They probably felt that the players from another world were too strong, so they chose to surrender collectively."

Hearing the information given by Wang Zhifan who suddenly returned, the other people looked different. Li Zhenguo frowned and said first:
"This is strange. The Americans usually don't surrender so quickly. Hercules and the wizards still have a strong fighting spirit. Is it possible that the Indians are playing tricks on them?"

Wang Zhifan immediately shook his head and replied:

"No, the Indian Lizard Tamer group is not with Hercules and his group at the moment."

"That's probably because the players from another world are too strong. Hercules and the wizard both think that there is little hope of winning. I guess they will contact us soon and ask us to agree to surrender."

The mage Gu Xingchen on the side then expressed his own inference, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite worried about the setback encountered by his allies at the beginning.

Summoner Lu Guanwen, who had many black tattoos on his body, was also there at this time. He interrupted and said:
"Captain, there are only 86 living people on our side of Earth right now, and the alien players are still full. Can we really fight this world war?"

Li Zhenguo did not answer his question, but looked at Wang Zhifan and asked:
"Brother Wang, you are outside and know the situation best. Tell us what you think. If the opponent is too strong and we can't do anything, we can only agree to surrender. Otherwise, other groups will hold a grudge against us and cause all kinds of problems."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the group looked at Wang Zhifan, including the Cambodian and Laotian players who had come over not long ago to work together with the Xia team. They also felt the heavy atmosphere in the air.

However, Wang Zhifan's personal experience was very different from theirs. He just felt that Li Zhenguo and other teammates were making a fuss, so he immediately replied:

"It's not the time to surrender! I've observed that those players from other worlds are not particularly strong. They have only won the first battle. We just need to win one more round. We still have plenty of opportunities!"

"Okay, with what you said, Brother Wang, I know what's going on."

After listening to this, Li Zhenguo nodded, and his solemn expression seemed to ease a little.

Seeing this, others also wanted to express their opinions and discuss the next battle plan, but at this moment a strange black bird flew over at high speed from a distance and attracted the attention of the gunman Han Yuanhou. Han Yuanhou was about to shoot the uninvited guest in one shot when Gu Xingchen next to him raised his hand to stop him.

"A Yuan, stop fighting! He must be sent by the wizard to deliver a message!"

As expected, when the black strange bird approached the Xia country group within a hundred meters, it suddenly turned into a feminine white young man wearing a black robe. Then, this white young man quickly landed near the group with a smile on his face and said in a somewhat clumsy Xia country language:

"Oh! My friends from Xia Country! Are you okay?"

The Xia team members immediately became alert when they saw this scene. Gu Xingchen, who was as big as a big bear, held the staff tightly in his hand and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the old foreign opponent. Priest Lin Fengwu subconsciously stepped back half a step and brewed holy light in his palm. Li Zhenguo spoke directly without any hesitation:

"Wizard, what brings you here? Are you trying to persuade us to surrender? We will not agree to surrender less than an hour after the war began."

He directly predicted the wizard's words and tried to block them by saying that the game started too shortly.

However, contrary to Li Zhenguo's expectations, the being in front of him, who might be the wizard's clone, showed an exaggerated expression of surprise, and then replied:

"Surrender? Who said I want to surrender? My Xia country friend, don't you know that I am a person with a very strong will? It really makes me sad that you say that... wuwuwu..."

The wizard, who already had a feminine appearance, said such words, which, coupled with his exaggerated expression and deliberate tear-wiping action, immediately made people feel very artificial, the kind of artificiality that was done intentionally to make people feel uncomfortable.

Gu Xingchen simply ignored the wizard's performance and just listened to him taking over Li Zhenguo's words and replying:

"Wizard, stop talking nonsense! Don't think I can't see that you are sending location signals to players from other worlds! If you say another word of nonsense, I will immediately remove this clone of yours!"

As he spoke, the tip of the staff held in Gu Xingchen's left hand gathered considerable energy, and his other right hand was also brewing a powerful spell. It was obvious that his words were not just talk.

But the clone sent by the wizard did not panic after his conspiracy was exposed. Instead, he showed a sinister and strange smile and responded slowly:

"Haha... my old rival... you know... too late!" Before he finished speaking, the wizard's clones scattered without warning, forming a complex ring at an unparalleled speed, instantly surrounding the Xia country group present!
The staff in Gu Xingchen's hand immediately emitted a light shield, protecting everyone around him. At the same time, the spell in his right hand also entered the final countdown, reminding the people around him:
"Everyone get ready! Teleport together immediately!"

During this period, Li Zhenguo displayed an ancient Han sword in his hand, and suddenly pulled out the sword. His eyes quickly swept across the complex ring outside the light shield, as if he had discovered something bad and was ready to fight immediately.

Seeing this, others such as Han Yuanhou, Lin Fengwu, Lu Guanwen and others also formed a battle formation and followed the reactions of the captain and deputy captain, reflecting the tacit understanding of a team.

Only Wang Zhifan was thinking in his heart, thinking about what he should do next, and felt a little conflicted.

"That wizard clone was indeed sending coordinates to the alien players just now. The alien players were about to teleport over to besiege our Xia country group. Gu Xingchen made a reasonable response but was a little slow. We can't escape the tracking of the alien players by just teleporting. The battle is almost unavoidable... Should I defeat the alien players who are chasing me, or rescue my teammates first? If I kill them too quickly, I'm afraid this world war will end early."

The problem that Wang Zhifan is struggling with now is not how to solve the dilemma, but to what extent it should be solved, because his combat power is at a crushing level. Once he opens fire at full power, it will inevitably be one-sided, and that result is not what he wants.

While he was thinking, visible spatial fluctuations appeared on the periphery of the huge and complex ring. In the blink of an eye, one hundred fully armed big-headed gray men appeared. As soon as the gray men arrived, they created circle restrictions and black hole attacks, replicating the way they had dealt with the American group before.

The circle appeared extremely oppressive, almost instantly disintegrating the ring formed by the wizard's clone, crushing the light shield supported by Gu Xingchen inside the ring, and blocking Gu Xingchen's collective teleportation that was counting down to the end. It showed the powerful strength of a hundred players from other worlds joining forces, which was impossible to deal with with Gu Xingchen alone.

The black hole that followed the circle was even more terrifying. All team members felt an indescribable force tearing their bodies apart. A large number of defensive equipment effects and defensive skills were triggered instantly. Compared with escaping and surviving, it became a more serious problem.

"You retreat first!"

Wang Zhifan was too lazy to think about it at this time. He pulled out the Qingdi Sword from his waist and slashed forward. The suppressing effect of the strange circle was immediately broken by the characteristics of the Qingdi Sword, allowing Gu Xingchen's collective teleportation technique to break out of the blockade. At the same time, this sword also cut open the black hole pressing on everyone, instantly reducing the pressure on everyone, and the dilemma was solved on the spot.

Gu Xingchen was the first person to feel the change. Just as he was about to stop the restricted teleportation and use stronger collective defense and attack spells, he found that the power of the law of space was being drawn to him again. The people in trouble began to transfer in space. Only one person was not included, and that was Wang Zhifan who rushed forward with a slash. But soon after, another person forcibly broke away from the teleportation state. It was the captain Li Zhenguo.

"Brother Wang! I'm here to help you!"

Li Zhenguo was seen holding an ancient Han sword with a strange ink-like aura rising from his body. He entered a mysterious state of mind similar to that of an ancient swordsman. He rushed towards the enemy camp together with Wang Zhifan, who was charging with a knife, at a terrifying speed.

Wang Zhifan in the front was speechless. He had even told the others to teleport away first, but Li Zhenguo insisted on staying, forcing him to change his subsequent plans.

But what was even more unexpected to him was that after Li Zhenguo gave up on teleportation, other members of Xia Guo's team made the same choice.

The first was Gu Xingchen, who was in charge of the teleportation. He decisively stopped the teleportation and instead used group attack spells to cooperate with the two people in front. Other team members also responded in their own way. For example, Priest Lin Fengwu used all his strength to use large-scale healing and defense skills. Gunner Han Yuanhou activated the advanced version of bullet time, and a large number of high-explosive bullets poured out from the heavy machine gun in his hand. Each bullet was aimed at the vital point of an enemy. Summoner Lu Guanwen focused on battlefield harassment, summoning thousands of various types of summons to rush towards the enemy to attract their attention.

In short, after captain Li Zhenguo chose to charge into the battle line with Wang Zhifan, all members of the Xia Guo team stayed behind to launch a coordinated attack, regardless of their own safety, disrupting Wang Zhifan's personal plan.

Wang Zhifan was almost in a state of neither laughing nor crying for a moment. His teammates ignored his arrangements and insisted on facing the enemy's siege with him, which could be considered an act of loyalty, but he didn't need their help. Instead, their presence forced him to be distracted to take care of the team, otherwise casualties would be inevitable. The combined strength of a hundred players from another world was not something that a dozen players could bear.

"We can only defeat these aliens! Let them evacuate as soon as possible!"

Since the situation has changed, Wang Zhifan had no choice but to accept it. Based on the current situation, he instantly split into a hundred Mengwo clones. Each clone rushed towards an alien to put them under life and death pressure, while the main body hid in the void to observe the overall situation. First, he completely disintegrated the half-collapsed black hole, and then looked for the leader among the alien players, intending to name him accurately.

Therefore, under his manipulation, the entire battle situation suddenly became chaotic and stable, which seemed very strange.

The chaos is that there are too many combat units, including various clones, summons and players, which probably number tens of thousands when added together. These combat units gather in a circle and fight each other, making it impossible to distinguish the local victory or defeat.

Stability means that the battle has entered a stalemate. After the circle suppression was broken and the black hole was disintegrated, the players from the other world were a little confused. Their joint means were basically ineffective, and they could only rely on their numerical advantage to fight against the changes in the situation. Therefore, under Wang Zhifan's deliberate manipulation, the situation became a evenly matched one.

It is very necessary to maintain a relatively balanced battle situation, otherwise if one side collapses, the world war will be over. Wang Zhifan does not want this war to end within an hour after it starts, especially when foreign players have made little contribution.

After about three minutes of melee, feeling that it was almost enough, Wang Zhifan controlled all the clones to break out and guide the Xia players out of the encirclement of the alien players. He killed a few alien players from time to time in the process, trying to restore the number of players in the two camps to a balanced state.

But for the players from the alien world, this battle seemed extremely strange, because they found that they could not deal with the enemy despite having a ten-fold advantage in numbers. Instead, they were held back by the enemy using various means until they found a breakthrough. Later, they even began to lose people unilaterally. Even though the loss was not much, they felt that the situation they were facing was beyond their cognition.

Li Zhenguo and other Xia country players had an equally strange experience. Each of them could feel the strength of their opponents, and it was very difficult to kill any one of them on their own. However, the situation had been steadily improving. Following Wang Zhifan's clone, everyone escaped the encirclement, and even saw corpses appearing on the gray side one after another.

Finally, when all the Xia players escaped the encirclement, Gu Xingchen used collective teleportation to help them escape. The gray players from the alien world did not choose to continue chasing them. Instead, they stayed where they were, cleaning up their companions' bodies while discussing the lessons learned from the previous failure.

If someone understands the bio-electromagnetic language of these aliens, they will know that these grays have come to a conclusion after the previous battle, that is, their opponents have special group combat capabilities, and it is difficult to successfully eliminate them in a group fight. Even if there is a huge advantage in numbers, they will be overturned. Therefore, they plan to change their strategy and try to use the method of breaking the whole into parts to target the enemy's special abilities. (End of this chapter)
