Chapter 476: Caesar the Great’s Death

“You… I see now, I see now. You purposely arranged for us to ambush the City Leader so you could benefit while we suffered losses. If I’m not wrong, you will release the news that we ambushed the City of Light’s City Leader very soon, right? Afterward, we, the Never Setting Sun, would be your scapegoat and even cause conflicts within the Xuanyuan Alliance. Meanwhile, you will obtain all the benefits.” Thousand Tomb Murder gritted his teeth. He had actually almost guessed Lin Jie’s plan completely.

That’s right, Lin Jie was planning to make Never Setting Sun his scapegoat. The video of Thousand Tomb Murder attacking the City Leader would be uploaded after the City Leader died, then which would be the guild that killed the City Leader? Naturally, it would be Never Setting Sun! With Baili Xuanyuan’s personality of always being doubtful, he would have disagreements with Scorching Sun. Not only would Lin Jie be able to hide his identity completely, and obtain the benefits that came after, he could weaken Baili Xuanyuan’s power too, so why not?

Lin Jie nodded and said, “Kill!”

Without hesitation, Lin Jie ordered them to be killed! Lin Jie released a Blade Aura, which slashed “Scorching Sun”, who had accepted the mission and instantly killed him. He was not willing to waste his time talking to those nobodies. What if they recorded what he said, and it became evidence against Lin Jie? Everything would become more troublesome.

Bu Yi grasped her staff and bit her lips lightly. Her staff was enveloped in a layer of dim light. “Smite…”

At that moment, Lin Jie’s huge hand lightly pressed on Bu Yi’s staff. He smiled and said, “Girls should be gentle, leave these things to us. You just need to take note of their health points in case any of them got careless.”

“Okay…” Bu Yi replied obediently.

She was an Ascetic Priest, so even if it were battles in the wild, she mainly focused on staying alive and protecting others. It was rare for her hands to be stained in blood, so Lin Jie did not plan to let her make a move.

In fact, The New Age was too realistic, and so after many players let loose and slaughtered many people, their mentality in the real world would also face some changes. Lin Jie was able to control himself and differentiate the game from reality, but that did not mean all players had such an ability.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, there had even been many cases where after players returned to reality, they had problems with their mentality. Bu Yi was naturally kind-hearted, so it was best that her hands not be stained with too much blood.

“Spark Prairie Fire!” Domestic Fat Cattle waved his staff lightly, and sparks of fire fell slowly and softly, like snow, landing on players, which started burning. That small fire that seemed to be harmless at first was filled with a destructive aura. After jumping around for three seconds, it suddenly exploded.

-1,293!

-1,083!

-1,000!

…

Domestic Fat Cattle’s magic damage output increased by quite a lot!

There were two types of Fire Mages, the first type focused on high-damage single target damage output, using the powerful Pyroblast together with scorching damage, they sought to kill the opponent in a short time. The second type focused on AOE damage output, the damage value might be slightly lower than the previous type, but the AOE scorching damage ability was extremely powerful and lasted longer.

Dejected Night also waved his Ice Staff, his methods were much gentler, the temperature in the air gradually decreased, but it was hardly noticeable by people. Then at a certain point, one would be suddenly frozen and unable to move. Next, he would use Blizzard to attack.

Meanwhile, Star Kill and Lost Camel also unleashed their skills, respectively, wiping out more than half of the people in the team Thousand Tomb Murder had led in the blink of an eye.

Thousand Tomb Murder’s face darkened. He shouted loudly, “Kill the City Leader!”

Instantly, attacks of tens of people were simultaneously aimed towards Caesar the Great!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

These attacks all landed on a metal wing, that the Mechanical Gargoyle, which was like a steel bat, had used to protect Caesar the Great. Its metallic head tilted and let out a sharp sonic wave, which stunned that group of players. The Elemental Launcher on the bone of its wing shot out whirlwinds that sent two players into the sky and threw them down again, those two players directly fell to their death.

When facing such a crowd of uncoordinated people with half their health left, Savage Blade dominated them and directly killed them all!

“Thank you, thank you very much.” Caesar the Great panted heavily and said with fear, “You, I will give you a reward! You can go to the City of Light Treasure Room and choose the items you want. After completing the mission I give, then you can receive Dark Gold equipment as a reward!

Lin Jie looked at that City Leader. Even in such a situation, he was still so stingy. He still wanted others to complete his mission before he was willing to give rewards…

“Kill him,” said Lin Jie calmly.

Everyone surrounded the City Leader and beat him up so badly he had no means to resist. In addition, half of his health had already decreased from being beaten by Thousand Tomb Murder and others, he could not retaliate at all!

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me… I still have a lot of money… I still have a lot of women…” The City Leader hugged his head with his hands tightly, like a pangolin—he did not even think of retaliating. He kept on murmuring the names of women until he died.

—System Announcement: The City of Light’s City Leader Caesar the Great has died! The City of Light will enter a state of extreme chaos until a new City Leader appears. All tax increased by 30%, and the attributes of guards decreased by 30%. The City of Light releases Bounty Missions. Anyone who provides information about the murder will receive the reward of Marquis-rank as a reward!

—System Announcement: Half-Centaur Tribe situated South of the City of Light is preparing its army to attack the City of Light!

—System announcement: The Savage Clan Leader Hadesa, situated West of the City of Light, has brought the Canyon Savages in preparation to attack the City of Light!

—System Announcement: …

Attacking the City of Light’s City Leader was equal to killing the king of a country, the impact was sensational! Not only did the players’ expenditure for repairing equipment, buying potions, and so on, would increase greatly due to the increase in tax, but what was most fearsome was the army of monsters around the City of Light! Once the City Leader died, the monsters would all attack the cities—many old Bosses that had hidden within the depths of the forest would lead their subordinates and charge towards the city.

Once the monsters seized the main city, then it would all be over. The main city would be in a completely destroyed state for a whole month and become the nest of monsters. All the buildings in the City of Light would disappear, and the economic loss caused by such would be beyond measure. Also, all players in the City of Light would lose a level, and their attributes would decrease by 50% in a month and be in a weakened state. The punishment could be said to be extremely severe!

Once the announcement was made, it caused a huge commotion!

The news of the death of the City of Light’s City Leader instantly occupied all headlines, and as for the discussion of Codename Lone Wolf and the Xuanyuan Alliance was instantly forgotten!

The City of Light’s players were unlucky, as normally, it was rare for one to change one’s main city after they had settled in. It was because the longer one stayed in a main city, the better the benefits. Also, the favorability of NPCs also needed time to accumulate. Thus, once one changed a main city, then it meant the hard work one put in for months was all for naught.

Sometimes, many NPCs would even pack their things and move to other main cities, that was one of the cons of the City Leader’s death.

To solve such a problem, there was only one solution, which was for a City Leader to instantly appear! Also, such a moment was the best opportunity to seize the city as the attributes of all the guards had decreased greatly, finally, to the point where players could kill them.

“Let’s go!” After killing the City Leader, Lin Jie grabbed the crystal ball that Star Kill had handed to him—inside was the video of Thousand Tomb Murder attacking the City Leader!

Lin Jie said, “Let’s go to the Holy Church!”

“Holy Church? Why there?”

“To obtain the city!”

That’s right, to seize the city!

Just nicely, the City Leader was currently dead, so if now’s not the best time to obtain the city, then when was? Lin Jie had made a deal with the Holy Church that the position of the City Leader was his, as long as he completed a mission: City Leader’s accidental death! Now that the City Leader was dead, the Holy Church had to fulfill what it had promised, right?

At the Holy Church.

Lin Jie rushed in haste and arrived in front of Commander Tyrese, he then passed the crystal ball to her. Instantly, the video of Thousand Tomb Murder, bringing his subordinates to attack the City Leader and fighting with the Paladins, was played like a horse-race lamp.

“Oh? Humans from alternate realms bringing an army to kill Caesar? With this evidence, it will be able to convince those old guys.” Tyrese was intelligent, so she instantly understood what Lin Jie meant. “Now, I will go discuss with the Empire for you to become the City of Light’s City Leader! However, another human from alternate realms is also running for City Leader, his funds are extremely important to the city construction, so it’s best for you to be on guard. To increase your chances, it’s best that you contribute something too, such as clearing the camps of those monsters preparing to attack the main city.”

After finishing, Tyrese immediately left through teleportation to negotiate with the Empire.

“Fu Sheng, what should we do now?” asked Baili Changcheng in a serious tone.

“The NPC needs some time to negotiate, we need first clear the monsters’ camp before the monsters start attacking the city. When the main city is in chaos, if we clear the monsters’ camp and prevent the attack, then we can increase our support rate,” said Lin Jie. “Send everyone from the Brotherhood, Steel Allies, Supreme Tribe, and Ironwall Empire. The monsters of these camps would attack with full strength, and their numbers are exceptionally high. Also, the chances of respawn of Rare Elites and Bosses would increase by quite a few times, so this is a good chance to make money!”

Naturally, the monsters attacking the city were not just any monsters randomly summoned by the system, it had to fit the history. For example, the Half-Centaur Tribe or the Nomads, which stayed outside of the City of Light for tens of years and had amassed quite the military strength. They had been eying the City of Light for a long time, just waiting for the right chance. Once the monsters started attacking the city, the Prophet in Half-Centaur Tribe, Chief, and warriors of war would also make a move. These monsters were seldom spawned and were rare.

Naturally, Lin Jie would not let go of such a benefit, so he immediately arranged for his brothers to clear the monsters. However, just a Half-Centaur Tribe alone had tens of thousands of tribesmen, so relying solely on the players’ strength to wipe them clean in a short amount of time was unrealistic. Thus, they had to reap whatever benefits they could!

“We’ll go there! The Werebear Crossroad.” Lin Jie pointed.

Werebears were the same as Half-Centaurs and belonged to the Nomads. They were powerful monsters originally from the glaciers in the North, born with thick skin and powerful strength. They were extremely powerful against Magical jobs. Their levels reached as high as 55, and normally, their numbers were little when respawned. However, currently, the Werebear numbers were in waves as it was the situation where monsters were attacking the city, so they had to go and clear them properly!

They turned words into actions.

Everyone immediately came to the Werebear Crossroad. There was a mark of a Giant Bear carved at the crossroad, and dried-up deer meat hung on top, which was obviously the spoils of the Werebear. Those tent-like buildings were everywhere, and occasionally roars of the bears could be heard. They could see Giant Bears covered completely in armor and armed with weapons patrolling the place. Two of the Werebears discovered Lin Jie and the others and instantly pounced towards them violently!
