Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

"Hahaha, I apologize for this intrusion, and hope you will all forgive me!"

With a burst of laughter, Zhang Tianguo, the city lord of White Tiger City, strode into the private room. His imposing gaze swept around the room, almost instantly locking onto Jiang Yan: "Jiang Taigong? I didn't expect you to be here too!"

"What, Lord Zhang doesn't welcome me?" Jiang Yan said calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Because he accepted Lin Wudi's mission and represented Lin Wudi, if Zhang Tianguo made a move against him, Lin Wudi could intervene in the affairs of White Tiger City in no time!

Even if Zhang Tianguo really attacked him, Jiang Yan could force him offline!

Zhang Tianguo had clearly considered these points as well. He suppressed his killing intent and sneered, "Anyone who comes to protect my White Tiger City is welcome! But if anyone tries to compromise the defenses of White Tiger City, don't blame this city lord for being impolite!"

"Lord Zhang, what brings you here?" The femme fatale smiled and changed the subject.

"Naturally, I'm here to encourage everyone!" Zhang Tianguo looked around at the crowd and said, "Those of you here are all leaders of your respective associations. I, the city lord, am deeply grateful for your valiant assistance in supporting my White Tiger City from afar! If we can rely on your efforts to repel the enemy and achieve victory this time, I, the city lord, will also reward each of you with two pieces of dark gold equipment!"

"Rest assured, City Lord, we will do our utmost to defend White Tiger City!" Di Jun said in a deep voice.

"Alright, I'll leave White Tiger City in your care. I still need to visit the other adventurers' guild leaders. Please make yourselves at home." Zhang Tianguo was about to leave when Ice Emperor called him back.

"Lord Zhang, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it." Ice Emperor spoke slowly. Although he had watched the video, he still wanted to verify it himself.

"Ask away!" Zhang Tianguo replied, turning around.

"Lord Zhang, wild monsters are roaming the mountains and plains outside the city. If they approach the city, are we left with no choice but to rely on the city walls for defense?" the Ice Emperor asked.

"That's natural." Zhang Tianguo nodded, squinting.

"But has the city lord considered that our numbers exceed ten million, while the city walls can only hold tens of thousands of players at most? Such defense is utterly ineffective in leveraging our numerical advantage!" The Ice Emperor suggested in a deep voice, "Why not open the city gates and allow us to form ranks outside? I…"

"This is unacceptable!" Zhang Tianguo decisively waved his hand to interrupt him: "Although the city wall can only hold tens of thousands of players, it has a protective array that I personally set up! This array can bring you unlimited buffs, and with this defense, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

This city lord is indeed problematic... Hyotei's heart sank.

Di Jun, Hong Yan Huo Shui, and Prague War God exchanged glances and understood what Jiang Yan was saying; it was probably true!

Jiang Yan said with a half-smile, "City Lord, I wonder what kind of buffs you're referring to? They won't suddenly disappear at the last minute, will they?"

Zhang Tianguo lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly, "The city is a melting pot of all sorts of people. It's hard to guarantee that no one will side with evil forces and commit such acts of sabotage. Therefore, everyone should take precautions. I have other matters to attend to; farewell!"

With that, Zhang Tianguo turned and left.

After he left, Bafanglaicai quickly closed the door and took a deep breath, saying, "Finally, he's gone."

When Zhang Tian came in, in order to avoid being exposed, Bafang Laicai kept his eyes and nose closed the whole time, pretending that he was a dead man, so that he did not reveal any flaws.

"This battle is likely to end badly!" Hyotei said in a deep voice. "Let's discuss what to do next."

"In my opinion, we should just retreat!" the Prague War God scoffed. "Anyway, this city isn't ours; let it fall if it wants to!"

"But the whole country is watching this battle. If we retreat, we'll be criticized and condemned by the whole nation. How will we survive then?" Di Jun frowned.

"But Zhang Tianguo has already sided with the evil forces. I guarantee that the buffs on the city wall will disappear at the crucial moment! If we stay here, each of us will probably die several times over. If we're unlucky, the entire guild might lose several pieces of equipment, which would be a huge blow!" Prague War God said urgently. "Moreover, Chaoge has also sided with the evil forces. If he reveals our defenses to the other side, those bosses will definitely focus their attacks on us!"

"We can't fight, and we can't retreat either." The beautiful woman looked at Jiang Yan and Bingdi, and asked, "Jiang Taigong, Bingdi, what suggestions do you have?"

Hyotei thought for a moment and said, "In this battle, we cannot retreat, but the core and elite players below can!"

"Just leave the ordinary guild members?" Prague War God's eyes lit up. "I think it's feasible! There are already over ten million players in White Tiger City. Once the war starts, it will be even more chaotic. As long as we don't leave, who will pay attention to our guild's core and elite players?"

Di Jun frowned and said, "But the teleportation array is overcrowded right now. If we want to transfer core players and elite players, we can only do so using flying mounts. Wouldn't that be too obvious?"

"It's better than suffering heavy losses, isn't it?" Prague War God said, looking at Jiang Yan, "Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly: "You can decide these things yourselves; you don't need to consider my opinion."

"Let's do it this way!" The femme fatale also decided to do so, to preserve the strength of the core and elite players!

Subsequently, the members of Ice Emperor immediately sent private messages to their respective vice presidents and senior members, and began to withdraw core and elite players.

……

at the same time.

In another teahouse, Bai Tiandi, the leader of the Baiyujing Guild, Elder Chaoge, Xingchen, the leader of the Xingchen Guild, Dark Emperor, the leader of the Dark Empire Guild, and Shengshi Fengyun, the leader of the Shengshi Dynasty Guild, were also having a meeting!

"There are over 20 million players in the city. Although there are more of them than the monsters outside, the terrain is not our advantage." Bai Tiandi frowned slightly. "I visited the city lord of White Tiger City before, but he said that the city walls have a protective array and that we should defend the city from there, and not allow us to go out of the city to fight."

"Have you contacted the other side?" the Lord of Stardust asked. "A Spirit-level BOSS isn't easy to defeat. We must unite with the Ice Emperor and Jiang Ziya to have any chance of killing that evil slime."

The Dark Emperor sat there calmly, declaring forcefully, "We can join forces, but the spirit-grade equipment you obtain must be given to me!"

Previously, Chaoge defeated Jiang Yan, and the Dark Emperor then decisively defeated Chaoge, ascending to the top of the Chinese throne. His prestige was at its zenith, and his arrogance grew uncontrollably.

Chao Ge's eyes flashed, and he sneered, "Jiang Taigong is narrow-minded, despicable, and shameless. He will never agree to join forces with us!"

"I can't be." Emperor Bai frowned slightly. He had met Jiang Yan a few times and found him to be a fairly easy-going person, unlike what Chaoge described.

"Why not!" Shengshi Fengyun sneered. "This person has been opposing our guild for quite some time now, which shows just how narrow-minded he is!"

"Heh, isn't it you [Prosperous Dynasty] who's been buying trolls and stirring up trouble on the game forums all along...?" Stardust Lord chuckled, about to speak, when he suddenly received several private messages.

After reading it, the Lord of Stardust's expression changed slightly: "The other side... has retreated?!"
