Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 120 Forum Summary, Ninth-Order Fall
After granting the dungeon its rights, Lin Ke did not continue to concern himself with anything else.

It's unclear how big of a sensation this caused.

In reality, after he exited consciousness from the game, he was already sorting out real-world intelligence.

The Countermeasures Bureau has already released new game information on the forum.

[Human Union Countermeasures Bureau: Five-Day Game, Latest Summary of the Real Game]

1. There are 3,827 players remaining in the next round. The status of the chief player is unknown, but it is certain that he has not lost his eligibility to play. Please be aware of this.

2. Currently, there are about 23,000 players remaining in the second round of the Auckland Continent. Due to the large-scale war between the four races, the situation of the new players in the Auckland Continent is worse than that of the first round of players, with a loss rate of nearly 80%.

3. Currently, there are approximately 48,000 players remaining on the second round of the continent of Calter. The situation for the human race is extremely dire, followed by the non-human races. According to the information gathered, humans on the continent of Calter have been relegated to the margins, and the entire world has been occupied by the alien troll race.

Given the harsh environment of the new map, the continent of Calter, and the fact that killing trolls yields items and experience, the Countermeasures Bureau reminds all players to be discreet and cautious. Do not reveal your unusual behavior among human slave groups. If possible, please escape or stay away from troll territory. If you are a lone wolf, it is best to assassinate individual trolls.

Unless absolutely necessary or with absolute certainty, new players should try to conceal themselves when their strength is insufficient, and should preferably use poison or traps as the primary means of assassination.

4. On the continent of Auckland, the Elf Empire and the human nations announced a ceasefire on the 263rd day of the fifth simulation, and the two sides formally confirmed the ceasefire agreement on the 326th day of the simulation.

The human kingdoms, along the borders of the eastern duchies, ceded an area roughly the size of one duchy to serve as a new border and buffer zone with the Elven Empire, while returning all elven slaves as a basic requirement for a ceasefire.

In addition, the human nations must pay the Elf Empire a one-time compensation for its war losses: ten million low-grade magic crystals, one million mid-grade magic crystals, and one hundred thousand high-grade magic crystals, in exchange for the Elf Empire's ceasefire.

Meanwhile, given the sincerity of the human nations, the Elven Empire is willing to join forces with them in a counterattack against the increasingly audacious sea creatures along the coast.

5. The Sharkmen, one of the five great royal courts of the deep sea, belatedly discovered the chaos on the continent and is plotting to launch a border offensive against the continent. They plan to plunder the coastal towns of various races after the end of this simulation day and about twenty days in the game world. However, they will likely suffer a great loss. Sea Clan players are advised to take note.

6. The Orc Empire and the human nations clashed on the 138th day of the simulation, but the northern border was well-prepared after the surprise attacks by the elves and the beast tide.

Therefore, humanity has not lost much territory in the North so far, and the intensity of the war reached a very high level in the early stages.

However, more than 340 days after the simulation, the orcs discovered a ceasefire between the elves and the human kingdoms. The orc empire has now controlled the intensity of the war with humans. The current situation is unclear, but the risk remains extremely high.

7. Within the Monster Mountain Range, the beast tide has reached its largest stage. It is currently known that over five million non-ranked monsters of various types have been mobilized in the Monster Mountain Range, triggering an even larger subsequent beast tide.

Meanwhile, more than 380 high-level magical beasts have appeared, and another 12 magical beasts, suspected to be at the peak of the ninth rank, have ventured deep into the western border of the human realm and are fighting against the top human experts.

By the end of the simulation day, more than three million non-ranked magical beasts had died in the Monster Mountain Range, and more than fifty high-ranking magical beasts had died, including two peak ninth-rank magical beasts. This event has caused a huge reaction within the three major empires.

Meanwhile, on the human side, apart from the Silver Lion Duchy having the advantage of altitude and the presence of powerful imperial guards preventing its complete fall, the other three duchies on the western frontier have all fallen completely.

Human deaths have exceeded ten million, with thirty-eight high-level beings and three ninth-level powerhouses perishing.

Compared to the Eastern War, which lasted for about three years, this war between monsters and humans is the strongest yet.

Currently, the war between human nations and the monsters has reached its most intense stage, with hatred between the two sides at its peak. It is known that the three major empires have sent seventeen ninth-tier beings to the western border. According to unreliable sources, the human empire may request the intervention of a saint-tier being.

Countermeasures Bureau Situation Analysis: It is suspected that there is a tacit understanding between humans and elves. Apart from the initial stage of the war, the two sides have only engaged in small-scale attrition warfare for about three years, and no more than ten high-level beings have fallen. Therefore, it is highly likely that the elves have provoked a nerve in the Monster Mountain Range, and thus launched the most fierce offensive, successfully 'earning' the greatest benefit of a ceasefire for the elven race.

Regarding the Monster Mountain Range, it is suspected that a certain Saint-level monster within it harbors some deep-seated hatred towards the human kingdoms, and has thus launched this most intense war response. Players in the Western Territory are advised to stay away from this combat zone as much as possible.

8. Friendly Reminder: The Human Alliance Countermeasures Bureau welcomes all players to join. All benefits can be discussed privately or in person. The Human Alliance also welcomes all players to provide any in-game information.

Good guy.

After waiting for three hours, the intelligence summary from the Human Rights Countermeasures Bureau finally arrived.

But the first piece of news was about Lin Ke, which made it difficult for him to break down.

But it doesn't really matter, since it's easy to tell whether I've lost my eligibility to play the game.

First, player A-Cheng can sense him.

Secondly, if the chief dies, the second-in-command will automatically become the chief, no question about it.

Thirdly, regarding the continent of Calter, Lin Ke might not be able to guarantee that among the nearly 80,000 human slaves taken in after the destruction of the troll city of Bronze Hammer, there were players among them.

Therefore, it's impossible to hide it from the public.

Besides, Lin Ke didn't intend to hide it.

Moreover, Chief Lin Ke's position currently enjoys a very high level of public attention, and the Countermeasures Bureau also attaches great importance to it.

Therefore, it makes sense for the Countermeasures Bureau to report on it, boost player morale, and point out the fact that Lin Ke still exists.

As for why we need to boost player morale?
Is that hard to figure out?
Of the 300,000 players who participated in the second round, how many are left now?

A little over 70,000!
The game eliminated 230,000 players in its very first run, so you can imagine the current state of despair on major video platforms.

As for gaming forums?

Those who can participate in gaming forums are naturally qualified, so it's normal not to see a large number of posts filled with profanity.

These battle losses are unparalleled.

Furthermore, the existence of wormholes in the real Arctic is also a major problem.

Therefore, in order to boost player morale and confidence in playing the game, and even to expose players to real-world problems later on, it is necessary for the League of People to announce that the Chief still exists.

The first three pieces of information were actually of little use to Lin Ke.

After all, Lin Ke knew exactly how many players were left in the game, even more clearly than the Countermeasures Bureau's estimate after three hours.

It's about operational permissions. Just look at the game forums.

Seventy-six thousand one hundred and twenty-three people.

The forum homepage is only accessible to Lin Ke, and the number of players is displayed in the upper left corner of the forum.

With one round plus two rounds, that makes a total of 76,000 people.

The number of people is actually just so-so.

It's not that serious, considering that around 70,000 players died in the first round.

With 300,000 remaining, the ratio is only about 10% higher than that of the first round of players.

As for the subsequent information from the Countermeasures Bureau, it was quite useful for Lin Ke.

At least for now, Linko has a clear understanding of the war's trajectory on the Auckland continent.

The elves and humans made peace.

Sea creatures can be tricked and harmed by humans and elves.

Orcs and humans reduced their conflict and remained in a standoff.

The battle between the monsters and humans was the most intense, and a total of five ninth-tier powerhouses even perished.

Ninth rank!
This is not a cabbage!
This represents the most important and top-tier force on the Auckland continent at this stage.

For a magical beast to reach the ninth rank, it would take at least a thousand years.

Even if a human is born with a high-level bloodline, it still requires a lot of resources, and it takes two or three hundred years for one to emerge.

The fall of a ninth-tier being is absolutely devastating for both magical beasts and humans.

For the eighth and seventh tiers, the casualties were actually not low either.

With the war escalating to this point, both sides must hate each other intensely.

This made Lin Kezhi frown.

"Didn't Amos and Crimson say that this battle was just a trial to teach humanity a lesson?"

"Why doesn't this lesson seem like a lesson at all? They've gotten carried away with it!"

"It's even possible that both sides will eventually reach the Saint rank."

Lin Ke felt somewhat baffled by this.

The elf was clearly the instigator, yet he has reaped the benefits and escaped unscathed.

Warcraft, who originally only wanted to take advantage of the situation, ended up getting caught up in it instead.

Is Warcraft really brainless, or is there some deeper reason behind it?

Just as the Countermeasures Bureau analyzed, is there a Saint-level magical beast causing trouble?

At this moment, Lin Ke inexplicably began to worry about the situation of Amos and Crimson.

With this level of intensity, let alone Yalong.

Even pure-blooded dragons might be in mortal danger, right?
Lin Ke had previously only focused on the development of Dawn City during his simulations.

As for Amos, the mountain dragon never mentioned war in its messages, only telling Link to focus on following the divine decree and exploring the new world.

Amos didn't say, and Linko didn't ask either.

I even always thought that the war between Warcraft and humans was entirely under control.

As a result, given the current situation, Warcraft and humans are probably fighting tooth and nail.

"No wonder Crimson kept saying he was coming, but the prediction day has passed and he still hasn't come to the continent of Calter."

"Amos is really calm and collected. I have to say, he truly lives up to his reputation as an old tortoise who has lived for ten thousand years. No one else can handle things with such composure."

Of course, Lin Ke's complaints are just complaints.

However, this also reveals the importance that the mountain dragon places on the forestry and even the so-called dragon god's oracle.

No matter how dire the conditions on the Auckland mainland, it ensures that all of Linco's requirements are met.

The loyal old minister's appearance made Lin Ke feel a little sorry for him.

"No, perhaps we should ask Phimosis to go back and help out. After all, one more ninth-tier beast means one more source of strength."

"As for myself, I'll change my form; that should be able to help."

"However, we should confirm the situation first."

Thinking of this, Lin Ke immediately lay back down on the bed.

We must find out the situation in Auckland; otherwise, something bad will happen.
