Chapter 135 It turns out that being handsome is also a sin.
After the server-wide notification related to the world-class mission was issued, all players received the notification message.
"Huh? The Lion Empire is actually scared. Aren't they going to continue to fight us?"
"Oh, it's so boring. They all admitted defeat. Is there no more group to fight in the future?"
"This shows that we undead are too strong! The NPCs can't handle our strength! Hahaha!"
Most of the players were disappointed, but at the same time, they were also excited.
The Lion Empire's request for peace represents the initial victory in the faction war, which can make players' gaming passion even higher.
After all, no one likes to lose every day when playing games. The feeling of victory is the most charming.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Xu Ercong and others gathered together to discuss the progress of the new world-class mission.
Xu Ercong still followed the usual practice and sought opinions from all parties: "What do you think about the world-class mission regarding the Lion Empire's request for peace?"
Wang Dali spoke first and said in a deep voice: "There must be a conspiracy!"
"Nonsense, we also know there is a conspiracy."
Chen Danshen rolled his eyes and opened the Godhead System to display the mission information: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world-class side mission clearly states a conspiracy to destroy the Lion Empire! How can you not see such a line of words!"
Players have a natural contempt for NPCs, especially those from the enemy camp. Players never feel that they will fail. To game experts, enemy NPCs are nothing more than a group of walking experience points.
Only the NPCs in the Death God camp can barely become the players' gaming partners and friends. This is because players feel that the NPCs in the Death God's Scourge are extremely realistic.
Li Tiangou pondered for a while and said, "The key is, what conspiracy could they have? What kind of trap can a group of NPCs set for us players?"
"That being said, the NPCs in Death's Scourge are unusual and should not be underestimated!"
Bai Xiaosheng thought for a while and said, "The news we got from the Magician's Guild and the Adventurer's Tavern shows that the Lion Empire is not weak!"
"As the most powerful human empire on the Esk Continent, the Lion Empire has a large population and a powerful army, as well as two huge behemoths, the Temple of Light and the Thorn Flower Magic Academy."
"The Temple of Light and the Thorn Flower School of Magic are the two most recognized non-empire-level forces on the Esk Continent, with members spread all over the continent!"
"If there is anyone who can completely unify the Esk Continent, it must be the Lion Empire!"
Bai Xiaosheng said in a deep voice: "But how could such a powerful force ask for peace with us for no reason?"
"Think about it carefully, everyone. The total number of players in our camp is less than 400,000, while the army of the Lion Empire already has several million people, perhaps even close to 10 million!"
"The difference in military strength between the two sides is so huge. If it were you, would you give up fighting and choose a humiliating peace?"
Bai Xiaosheng's analysis made people nod their heads repeatedly.
Long Aotian rolled his eyes and yelled, "What's the point of you guys discussing this and that here? If you ask me, forget about asking for peace!"
"What if this group of NPCs succeed in seeking peace? How can we fight in a group in the future? Without fighting in a group, how can we earn points, experience points, and life points?"
Long Aotian's words were reasonable but not rude. If seeking peace would infringe upon the interests of all players, then all the players would definitely not agree to seek peace.
It's just a game, and you're not afraid of death, so of course you'll fight all the way to the end!
Have you ever seen a player agree to the game experience body's request for peace with himself while playing a game?
Bai Xiaosheng frowned: "But even if we don't agree to peace, we may not be able to defeat the enemy. We have been opportunistic in the previous two group battles. What if the Lion Empire really sends a large army to attack us? How can we fight?"
"Well said."
Xu Ercong also said: "Obviously, there must be some reasons we don't know about this world-class mission."
"If it were the storyline of another game, this might be a planner's arrangement, but based on the characteristics of Death God Scourge, this should be the advancement of the game's storyline based on the evolution of the NPC forces!"
"The Lion Empire is seeking peace with us. There must be a deeper secret behind this!"
Xu Ercong said in a deep voice: "There must be a conspiracy behind this request for peace! So should we agree or not?"
…
In addition to the discussions among the three major clubs, all players also expressed their opinions on this matter on the game forum.
There are many pro-war players like Long Aotian, but most of them do not clearly express their desire to fight in a team. Instead, they are curious about the Lion Empire's request for peace.
Ordinary players don’t think about so many things. For them, the NPC camp’s request for peace is their temporary victory.
Beating the enemy until they beg for mercy and peace is also a very fulfilling thing!
And even if they agree to make peace in the end, does it mean that players will not be able to attack NPCs in the future?
What a joke! If you want players to abide by the so-called covenant, it would be more practical to ask sows to climb trees.
The popularity of this incident lasted for only one day. After that, the players went about their business and had no mood to pay attention to the peace talks.
According to most players, this is not a team fight, but just a request for peace.
You can still fight after you make peace, and it’s even better if you don’t make peace, you can fight in a team right away!
No matter what the ending is, the players can accept it, so they just don't bother to pay attention to it.
The negotiations regarding the three major clubs in the City Lord’s Mansion finally came to a conclusion.
Xu Ercong and other management players made the final decision!
"According to the results of the meeting, most people agree to seek peace, because we need time to explore the true conspiracy of the Lion Empire! At the same time, we must greatly delay the possibility of the Lion Empire's full-scale attack on the Northern City, providing the players with the most development period!"
"We have to prepare for both scenarios. First, gather intelligence! Second, show goodwill!"
"We must grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be strong!"
"The Player Camp and the Lion Empire will definitely fight in the end, but how and when to fight is up to us! We must hold the initiative of the war in our hands!"
Shortly after the three major clubs made their decision, to be exact, on the third day.
The envoys of the Lion Empire have officially entered the northern border and are heading to the northern city.
The messenger team is not like a large-scale army. A small number of people can take advantage of the teleportation magic circle that is available in every major city on the continent to achieve the effect of rapid travel and high-speed information transmission.
[Dear players, the world-class mission map has changed, please check it out. ]
After receiving prompts from the divine system, players can see the movements and routes of the messengers, as well as the specific number of people, on the map.
At first glance, the Lion Empire seems to be quite sincere. The envoy team consists of only a few hundred people, and except for the necessary guards, they are basically all members of the envoy group.
"It seems that the Lion Empire does not intend to secretly send troops to follow up on this peace proposal and take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Northern City."
Xu Ercong glanced at the mission map and said to everyone, "Now we can dispel one of the conspiracy speculations. Next... who is willing to welcome the peace envoys from the Lion Empire?"
"What are you answering?"
Long Aotian curled his lips and said, "Just let them enter the city on their own. If you ask me to welcome them, I think you are giving face to these NPCs. Those who seek peace do not deserve this treatment."
As soon as Long Aotian finished speaking, he found that everyone in the conference room turned to look at him.
Pairs of eyes stared at Long Aotian in silence.
Seeing this, Long Aotian felt uneasy and couldn't help but touch his cheek: "What's wrong? My human skin is so handsome that you are all intoxicated by my peerless beauty?"
Xu Ercong suddenly smiled: "He is indeed quite handsome."
Long Aotian sighed: "It's all because I'm too handsome. So handsome that even men can't help but look at me sideways."
"Such a handsome man can certainly represent the image of our players, so it's you! Long Aotian!"
Xu Ercong paused and said, "You go and greet the envoys!"
"I don't accept it! I want to appeal! I need to level up, I don't have time to welcome the envoys!"
"The appeal is invalid. I just said that we should show as much goodwill as possible to reduce the hostility of the Lion Empire towards us. Let's vote."
Xu Ercong glanced at the raised arms of the crowd and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, unanimous approval! Brother Aotian, go ahead!"
"turn out to be……"
Long Aotian was very sad. He looked up and sighed sadly: "It turns out that being handsome is also a sin."
