Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Someone turned to look at Bridges next to them, then quickly shook their head.

Bridges is no match for Cerny.

Bridges kept his eyes closed, oblivious to everything around him; he had no interest in such nonsense right now.

After the Lord of the Night spoke with the Lord of the Eternal Star Path, he was released, but the suspicions against him were not cleared.

To prevent him from escaping, the ruler of the Eternal Star Road left a mark on him.

"Once you have been completely exonerated, I will help you remove this mark. In the meantime, if you do anything that harms the interests of the Eternal Star Road, even if we are separated by millions of light-years, I can still cripple your strength."

The towering figure, like the sun, blinded Bridges.

While the Overlord was speaking, Bartholomew, the Overlord of the Night, kept nodding. Seeing this, Bridges' heart sank even further.

He's just a puppet now.

Since he's just a puppet, why should he care about anything else? Heh heh heh...

Cherny's attack opened the way to the spaceport.

Once the warships reached the vicinity of the occupied territory, they immediately opened their hatches, and millions of players jumped out one after another.

The colorful lights illuminated the starry sky around the spaceport, a scene far more spectacular than skydiving.

The guards at the spaceport were in a great hurry.

The alarm sounded immediately, but as urgent as they were, they only had so few people and couldn't conjure reinforcements out of thin air.

[Immediately after landing, go to the occupied area to change your respawn point]

[After assembling, do not linger; launch an immediate attack on the defending troops.]

In the Red House Guild's guild channel, Red Nova was quickly giving instructions.

Now he is not only the guild leader, but also the leader of the faction. He can issue faction tasks like an NPC. Faction members can accumulate contribution points after completing the tasks. When the contribution points reach a certain value, they can unlock more faction rewards.

Therefore, the Red Nova is now full of energy.

He ran like a whirlwind, leaving the main force of the Exiled Empire's landing campaign, who were resting at the regrouping point near the respawn point, dumbfounded as they watched these players who seemed to have activated an accelerator.

They run fast, talk fast, and assemble quickly.

As soon as they assembled, they rushed toward the defensive fortifications ahead.

"Hey, you guys..."

Someone raised their hand to try and persuade the players, but as soon as they raised their hand, the players in front of them had vanished.

The reinforcements that have arrived must be right, right?

You're not a fool going to your death, right?

What do we do now?

The NPCs looked at each other in bewilderment. Their battle with the defenders had only just ended, and most of them were still in a weakened state.

But they were clearly more exhausted as the attackers.

"What else can we do? We can't just stand by and watch them go to their deaths. If we give them confidence, it will be even more difficult to attack later."

"Hey, don't just sit here, let's go over there quickly."

The NPCs who were sitting on the ground all stood up.

Some people had angry expressions on their faces.

Some people had their brows furrowed.

Only a minority can actually laugh.

Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the distance, and a wave of energy blew through the narrow passage.

"Go!"

The first few burly men took the lead and squeezed into the passage with a sway.

This should be a tough rescue operation.

It might be a closely contested battle of offense and defense.

But when the battle actually unfolded before their eyes, they never expected it to be such a devastating advance.

"This is a ghost!"

The NPCs, who stood there dumbfounded, were certain that they had never seen such a volatile master-level cultivator before.

There were hundreds of melee mages, an anomaly.

The soldiers were already tough enough, and each of them was covered in a layer of gleaming power armor.

The swordsman, wielding a flying sword, controlled the sword formation while simultaneously firing a rapid-fire cannon the size of a wardrobe at the high wall opposite.

The most outrageous thing was that they even saw someone piloting a mech.

The mecha, over forty meters tall, stepped over the laser-cutting barrier in one stride without sustaining any damage.

One of the tough guys from the garrison punched the mecha in the knee.

After glancing down at him, the mech slapped him into the metal wall.

"Boom boom boom—"

The explosions continued incessantly.

Fortunately, the spaceport is built with sturdy materials, making it impossible for players with a maximum level of only 130 to cause large-scale damage to the spaceport.

"Stop them! Stop them!"

The defenders of the Eternal Star Road were covered in sweat; the reinforcements that had suddenly arrived were simply too powerful.

Their ferocious fighting style, which disregarded their own lives, was simply unbearable for those present.

The defensive line was pushed further back as the fighting continued.

Finally, a powerful supporter arrived, and they saw the man with the "Red Nova" symbol on his head take out a bottle of medicine and drink it.

Code name: Ancient God!

"Super Evolution!"

The red star let out an incredibly dramatic shout, his speed exceeding all limits.

The supporter was caught off guard and was struck on the head by a spiked gauntlet, causing blood to gush out immediately.

"It's not over yet!"

Earth elementals in the void began to surge, and suddenly a large sandstorm appeared, engulfing the supporter's body and turning him into a sitting duck.

Boom boom boom—

In the blink of an eye, dozens of energy beams struck that person.

When the dust settled, the supporter had already passed away.

"Fuck your mother."

"Quickly, retreat to the second line of defense."

The defending soldiers were terrified.

They are physically and mentally exhausted, and have no intention of continuing the fight.

"It seems like there's nothing for us to do here anymore."

The NPCs from the Exiled Empire stood still. They had originally intended to go up and provide support, but now it seemed that going up would disrupt the formation of their own reinforcements.

After all, they couldn't possibly be so reckless as to risk their lives.

In the command center of the spaceport, located on the Eternal Star Road, a group of people looked worried and had long lost their previous good mood.

Someone asked, "How long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

"It will take at least seven days."

"Seven days?"

Oh dear, then it's all over.

Just wait to die, there's no hope.

Everyone understood that if they weren't worried about damaging the spaceport, they would have given up long ago.

It's already a pretty good result that we've managed to hold on this long. The only question is where these reinforcements from the Exiled Empire came from.

……

"..."

Tsykia, who was wandering near the Second War Zone, stared in astonishment at the images transmitted by Cherny.

The players' performance far exceeded her expectations.

"An Ran is absolutely right."

A hopeful light shone in Tsykya's eyes.

This is such a wonderful surprise!

It seems that Silent City's investment in Anran was entirely correct.

"Give me more force!"

Soon, a massive "recruitment" campaign began in the Silent Land.

With the massive influx of players, the war situation in the Second War Zone has become clear.

Chapter 35 Mixed Doubles

"It's too late."

A few days later, the first reinforcements from Eternal Star Road rushed over, but in just a few days, the players' advance had already torn the defenses of Eternal Star Road to shreds, and nearly a third of the spaceport's 3D model had become occupied areas glowing yellow.

The defending troops could only barely hold on by relying on the weak fortifications inside.

The reinforcements from the Eternal Star Road circled around the perimeter for several hours, and finally managed to land only thanks to the escort provided by the Star Killers in the command center.
