Chapter 1174: Chapter 1187. Players Targeting Players

Even if players were still granted war contribution points when the country lost a war between countries, Jeanny still felt sick hearing the players here fight without the intention of winning. She didn't show her feeling, though. She kept a calm and determined expression.

She said, "Brother Herald, please reconsider. I understand that you feel it is impossible to win because of the difference between the native armies, but there is still a chance! We shouldn't waste it just to chase short-term benefits."

"Hah! We are all gamers here. We play for benefits," Morius uttered. "Don't tell me you consider yourself a part of this world? Then again, if the army of this country is weakened, we might get a chance to hit the palace and install ourselves as the sovereign. Just like what happened in Liguritudum and Aurebor. Just like what your guildmate did to seize Themisphere's throne."

"Shut your vile mouth!" Jeanny admonished. "My guildmate became the sovereign through valid means!"

"Heh. The victor decides the story. You can weave whatever story after taking the throne."

Jeanny's spear again appeared in her hand, but Herald stopped her before she took any action.

"Sister Jeanny, our decision is made," Herald said. "You and your members can help us, or you can stay out and do what you suggested, but don't expect us to follow."

Herald then told everyone to disperse and organize their respective members. They would start moving out once the natives started the battle.

Jeanny turned to Megan, who shook her head weakly. Although Megan wanted to support Jeanny's proposal, she was only one voice. Additionally, many of her guild members also expressed their interest in scoring war contribution points rather than trying to win the seemingly-impossible war. So, she kept her silence.

Jeanny saw that it was impossible to sway the minds of the guild leaders. Since it was the case, she uttered, "If what you want is to score war contribution points, then we should target the enemy's guild army command platforms!"

"Though I agree we can score many points by destroying them, the platforms are no doubt summoned at their command base. It will be heavily guarded," Herald said.

"Give me manpower. You draw the players' attention, my guild and I will go for these platforms," Jeanny said.

"If you want to die, just go for them yourselves," Morius uttered.

"I will go with them," Megan declared.

Herald looked between Jeanny and Megan. He was displeased but since he held no real authority over the other guilds, he couldn't forbid Megan. To save face, he said it as if he gave the permission, "Fine. Evil Breakers will go with Everlasting Heavenly Legends for the platforms while the rest of us fight the enemy players' main force."

Finished speaking, he turned and left. He didn't wish to prolong the discussion any longer. The other guild leaders left to organize their members.

"Are you sure about this?" Megan asked Jeanny after the others left.

"I don't know. This is not ideal, but we can only gamble it like this if we want to have a chance at winning," Jeanny said.

These proposals were what John gave Jeanny. He already told her though that the chance of people following her plans was slim. That's why he didn't bother joining this war. If people were unwilling to follow a strategy, then it didn't matter how good that strategy was.

Jeanny spoke with Megan for a bit longer to describe her plan in detail. They then left to organize their members.

The two forces just stared at one another for around two hours before the Liguritudum's side started advancing. The Hydrurond's army didn't make any move until the Liguritudum's army passed the line that marked their country's border.

The players also started advancing to adjust to the natives' movements.

As they got closer, the players noticed the forces advancing on the front line were not native soldiers, they were guild soldiers instead. The native soldiers followed from behind.

As for the Liguritudum's players, they were advancing right at the Hydrurond's players.

This confused Hydrurond's players. It seemed that the enemy players were also targeting them. But since this aligned with their plan, they just considered this a blessing. Additionally, the enemy's guild armies were in a different position. So, the enemy players that were already fewer than them were now even more vulnerable.

The guild leaders gave the command for their deputies to summon their guild armies and had these armies join the players in rushing toward the enemy players. Each guild had an average of 15,000 guild soldiers, with the top three guilds summoning around 20,000 soldiers. Their force was suddenly strengthened by around 180,000 soldiers.

"Let's score us war contribution points...!!" Herald yelled to rally the others.

Sane, a berserker who was also a participant in the world tournament, was now a member of the Inquisition. He led the guild's melee players on the front line. While from the back, Telebinge, another world tournament participant who was killed by Ronald in the first match, led Inquisition's ranged players.

While they were advancing, they saw in the distance Hydrurond's native soldiers clashing with the enemy's guild soldiers.

Considering Hydrurond's native soldiers had many high-level commanders, the guild soldiers were immediately overwhelmed. But Liguritudum's native soldiers coming from behind the guild soldiers quickly balanced the conflict. With more numbers, it didn't take long for Liguritudum's forces to tip the balance in their favor.

However, despite Liguritudum having more numbers, the battle was not one-sided. This was because, in terms of the number of high-level officers, Hydrurond didn't lose even after dividing their force into three fronts. Liguritudum had only a few high-level officers because they lost more than half the native officers when Master became the ruler.

In addition to that, there was an unseen buff and debuff, morale. As predicted by Peniel, Liguritudum's morale was low because of the lack of native officers. While Hydrurond's native army had high morale since they were defending their country against invaders.

Thus, the battle was somewhat balanced.

Some of the guild leaders, who saw this situation, slightly regretted not going with Jeanny's proposal. Win or lose in this battle was not yet certain.

It was too late to alter the plan. They could only continue as planned. If they could defeat the enemy players, it was not too late to go and support the native soldiers.

As they were about to meet the enemy players advancing toward them, a native force suddenly came from behind the enemy players. When they used their Inspect, they learned that this native force was World Maker's guild soldiers.
