Chapter 315 - The Chaos Arises

Chapter 315 The Chaos Arises

Xiao Feng didn’t stay in the City of Gloom for too long. He still refused to take any further part in that and just let the two women handle it. Then he activated his space ring and returned to the grand underground grave.

According to Ni Wu, the other half of the key to seal was held by Lich Kerr Sue and Lich Kerr Sue was likely to be in the grand underground grave, so Xiao Feng came here to look for it.

It was on the fifth floor of the underground palace that his space marker was left. There was no guardian on this floor, but a lot of creeps and small bosses were refilled so he had to spend some effort in clearing off them.

When Xiao Feng entered the grand underground grave, without any sign, the whole Huaxia District fell into a chaos suddenly and yet not surprisingly.

With the central imperial city on the Land of God as the demarcation point, the Antiquity Guild in the south took an initiative action and declared war on a small guild and a grand guild.

“Become the dependency of Antiquity or extinguish.”

This was the first time that the Antiquity Guild showed up in public. However, as the guild made a great coup before, it just became the focus of attention upon appearing, which also astonished the whole Huaxia District.

When the Antiquity Guild proclaimed war to the small guild that only consisted of tens of thousands of players with a level-2 encampment, it only sent out more than 20 players. The players defeated this small guild with a crushing force, standing before the encampment hall and leaving such a sentence.

This was the first time when the players of the Huaxia District felt the power of Antiquity Guild. In light of dozens of players, they could easily defeat a small guild. Others couldn’t help wondering whether the Antiquity Guild only consisted of so many players.

In fact, the actual core members of the Antiquity Guild were only constituted by dozens of people. In the Encampment Defensive War, they succeeded in defending. The difficult missions of creeping and castle storming for ordinary players only stood for massive experience points. This was also why the players of Antiquity Guild could quickly occupy the level list.

The small guild tried to fight back at first but the encampment hall was destroyed instantly so it lost the guild war and the guild level dropped to level 1. However, the Antiquity Guild didn’t stop and instead, it declared war again.

“Dependency or Death.”

Their second action was also irresistible. Before more than 20 players arrived at the encampment hall of the small guild, they said the same thing.

The level-1 encampment would be compulsorily dismissed with another failure. Therefore, after a long hesitation, the small guild chose to be the disgraceful dependency, the allied guild of the Antiquity Guild.

However, this was only a beginning.

Within half an hour, the Antiquity Guild declared war on another guild. This time, it was a grand guild consisting of nearly a million players. It only took the Antiquity Guild a little time to arrive outside the encampment of this grand guild.

Besides, their imposing manner was astonishing again. Apart from their own players and the tens of thousands of players from the small guild they subdued, there were hundreds of thousands of players more!

Most surprisingly, the troop consisting of hundreds of thousands of players were the core members of Glory Guild that disappeared for some time! Yet, the guild name above their heads changed from Glory Guild to Antiquity Guild!

The consequence of this grand guild was almost the same as that of the previous small guild. Faced with the potent attack of Antiquity, despite the great disparity in capability on the whole, the top players were not at the same level.

After the grand guild fought back for more than one hour, over 20 top players led by Ximen Chuixue arrived before the encampment hall, just like a crushing force.

“Dependency or death.”

The same words were left. In the meanwhile, the grand guild also rejected. Then their encampment hall was destroyed, marking the failure of the guild war. Hence, the grand guild’s guild level was one level down.

Then without any time given to the grand guild for preparation, the second war came again!

…

The Antiquity Guild was not an exception. Over one night, the balance in the Huaxia District was suddenly disrupted, with numerous guild wars of different scales swept the Land of God!

Outside the imperial city a mineral ore was discovered, where rare minerals were produced such as space stones with amazingly high production. This newly found mineral ore instantly became a blasting fuse!

The golden coins could be exchanged with real money at a fixed rate. Then the resources in the game world must be equal to the resources in the real world. The mineral ore represented amazingly valuable assets!

And the imperial city was located at a special position. Various parties of the Huaxia District all gathered here. The situation was rather intricate and complicated. The imperial city was in the teeth of the storm, where different kinds of small contradictions and conflicts kept taking place. Yet, no interest disputes ever happened so all the forces just maintained the ostensible balance.

However, this fragile balance was broken by the rare mineral ore at once!

With numerous outbreaks of battles outside the imperial city, you could see that a lot of well-equipped troops rushed towards the players outside the city fiercely. There was no passer-by in the street.

It was known to all that whoever occupied the mineral ore would gain tremendous economic income and well demonstrate the capability and status. Without doubt, taking the mineral ore was like occupying a place second to the imperial city, which was the most important geographical position!

The war fermented at an extremely fast speed, which was intensified over one night. From the melees at the beginning to the afterwards alliance, coalition and sneak attack, countless guilds were involved in the war. Besides, a lot of guilds were in conflicts with each other. Even some of the conflicts were left behind because of the previous battles, which broke out completely now!

Just like blooming, numerous guild battles broke out on the Land of God. Because just a small quantity of players who completed the second profession transfer and could arrive at the imperial city, and all the main forces of the guilds were still in their own main cities, the guild wars that spread out increasingly would come after the battles escalated!

On the numerous transmission squares of the main cities, groups of well-equipped players showed up like armies and went to wars.

Even the top 10 guilds in the Huaxia District were dragged into the wars. Hence, the guild list of the Huaxia District was changing every hour!

“Does it begin?”

In the Donghuang City, Crown Prince was sitting in a tea house set up by the system, drinking his tea. He looked at the people coming and going in the street and suddenly said in a low voice.

“Prince, the guilds in the north were in a mess too. Shall we intervene?”

A young player under the Dynasty came forward and asked sincerely.

“No need. This is a preliminary step to mark off spheres of influence. We cannot stop it and it cannot be stopped.” Crown Prince took a sip of the tea made of the Life Tree, which only existed in the game world, and said softly.

“The Elf Empire lacks someone to preside over the big picture. Moreover, after the Glory Guild leaves, there is no force worth caring about. Ask Tough Man Alliance whether they are interested.”

“Yes, my lord!”

…

No one expected the big mess to come so suddenly that everything changed over one night. All the players of the Huaxia District were downgraded by 1 level on average and the players that completed the second profession transfer became the aces in the hole of their affiliated forces.

More than 90% of the main cities stayed in chaos. At the regen spots, flocks of players showed up nonstop.

The potion stores, equipment stores and consumable stores that sell Town Portal Scroll in all the main cities were full of clients.

As the first chamber of commerce, Treasure Pavilion’s branches were all crowded with players. Even the ordinary equipment with dull sale, such as white equipment and green equipment, sold like hot cakes. Dozens of the warehouses of the main cities were opened and the inventory was decreasing all the time. Technically, the supply was not adequate to the demand.

Meanwhile, some chambers of commerce suppressed by the Treasure Pavilion, such as Money Chamber of Commerce and Sitong Chamber of Commerce, also got a chance to see daylight. They kept supplying a lot of equipment and consumables like advanced potions, and even allied with many grand guilds, becoming increasingly famous.

The mess worsened so fast that even the cause was almost forgotten. It gradually turned into a war to mark off the spheres of influence. Besides, this game had the unprecedentedly most players among all the games and the relationships of the forces were rather complicated. All of them wanted to dominate the game world and no one would surrender. Nothing would be finalized until the end.

Some old strong forces couldn’t stay invincible like before. For example, Indistinguishable Guild, one of the previous grand guilds, became the first collapsed giant, which declined with its honors in several games turned over.

As the unrest increasingly worsened, more and more forces, proactively or passively, got involved in the chaos and couldn’t stay out of it.

It was the unspecified characters who suffered the largest impact. They tried to avoid the increasingly worsened situation and wanted to find some relatively peaceful main cities to play games. Because most of the players lived on the games—they gained golden coins through passing the instance zones, creeping and doing quests and then exchanged the coins for real money, the unrest left a great impact on them.

No one formed a team at the entrance of the instance zone. In the fields and the quest spots were all the fighting players. Under this circumstance, they could look for those main cities with no chaos.

After all, the unspecified characters also accounted for a large proportion of the players, so they did find a lot of main cities.

For example, the Donghuang City was the main city where the Dynasty’s encampment was located. It was absolutely safe. And the Tianlong City was the popular main city where the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion was situated and the Midsummer Guild ranked as No. 2 on the guild list was located, so it was also safe.

Now in the whole Huaxia District, only a few major forces were not involved into the unrest.

And Xiao Feng didn’t know about that now. As it was almost at dawn, he logged off at the corner without creeps on the sixth floor after he cleared off the creeps on the fifth floor of the underground palace.
