Chapter 1515 - Ancient Empire’s Fightback
Meng Xi grew up in a foreign land so she naturally knew how money-minded these foreigners were. As long the right amount of money was given, they would be more than willing to spread fake rumours, let alone the truth.
“For real?”
Indeed, that player was more interested in the gold bag in Meng Xi’s hand than the actual truth of the matter.
“Of course!” Meng Xi took out yet another bag of gold, “After the matter is done, this gold will be yours too.”
“Alright!”
The player accepted the gold from Meng Xi’s hands happily.
Wild City. Ancient Empire’s office.
Guild leader Boundless Ocean also received news that his men had been killed by players from Forgotten City. He furrowed his brows and no one knew what he was thinking about.
To a large guild, the timing of a large-scale crowd PK was extremely important.
The bigger the guild, the more they wanted pride. During normal days where any one of their players was bullied, there would be an urgent need to teach the perpetrator a lesson. Otherwise, they would lose all their pride as a guild. Moreover, the few hundred of them had their BOSS snatched and was exterminated in a humiliating fashion.
This was essentially a slap on their face.
Furthermore, Ancient Empire was the number one guild in the country and they held the pride of the country. Players from their guild had been representing the country in international competition so they were all extremely prideful people.
Now that something like that happened, it was no longer a conflict between two guilds. It was escalated up to a conflict between the two countries.
While Boundless Ocean still looked calm, the other Ancient Empire’s players were so infuriated at the injustice that they couldn’t wait to get out on the battlefield.
Even Sacred Mountain urged Boundless Ocean, “Boss, what are you thinking about! Let’s just kill them all! I’ve never liked those foreigners from Forgotten City and now they actually took the initiative to provoke us. We have to slaughter them!”
“No rush!”
Boundless Ocean waved his hand, “I have this odd feeling about this matter, as though someone is instigating disharmony between us. If we went over to fight Forgotten City now, wouldn’t we fall for the trap of this instigator?”
“If we don’t fight, wouldn’t we lose the pride of Ancient Empire? Do not forget that we, Ancient Empire, bear a lot of pride and responsibility on our backs,” an emotional Sacred Mountain exclaimed.
Indeed, the current Ancient Empire was not only carrying the pride of their guild on their back. They were also carrying the pride of their country.
“If we fight, fall for someone else’s scheme and end up losing the international war, who can afford to bear this responsibility?” Boundless Ocean asked.
“This……” Sacred Mountain was dumbfounded by the question. He pondered upon it for a moment before replying, “So what should we do now? Simply let them mock us?”
“Don’t worry!” Boundless Ocean continued, “This matter happened at the country’s border so if we don’t tell anyone, nobody will know. Tell everyone not to spread this matter.”
“Boss, this is bad!”
Just after Boundless Ocean said that, Nine Deities Arrow came rushing into the office.
“Why? Why are you so anxious?” Sacred Mountain couldn’t help but ask when he saw how Nine Deities Arrow was acting.
“This is bad! The forums are exploding with our news!” Nine Deities Arrow exclaimed anxiously.
“The forum?” Boundless Ocean continued inquiring, “What is going on the forum?”
“F*ck it!” Nine Deities Arrow cursed and said, “I do not know who but someone posted on the forum about how we, Ancient Empire, were exterminated by players from Forgotten City. It is already at the top of the forum and players are flooding the forum with curses!”
“What!!”
Boundless Ocean trembled shockingly when he heard Nine Deities Arrow, “Just how vicious is this person? Is he trying to force us to go to war with Forgotten City?”
As the number one guild in the Chinese server, Ancient Empire was like a group of idols. If they were defeated by players in their own country, that was still acceptable since they were all locals. Victory and defeats were common.
But to be exterminated by foreigners and they weren’t even a guild…… This humiliation was on a whole new level.
An incident like that was naturally not acceptable by the Chinese players.
It was fine if Ancient Empire was decisive and chose to launch an international war. Not only would they not be cursed at, they could even salvage their pride for being decisive to fight back.
If they chose not to fight back, just the locals were enough to curse the entire generation of the Ancient Empire’s players.
“Let me take a look!”
Boundless Ocean remained calm but Sacred Mountain could no longer sit still as he went offline to check the forum.
At this moment, the forum post was hanged at the front page of the <>’s forum.
In less than 10 minutes since it was posted, the post had over ten million views and there were a few hundred thousand replies.
Sacred Mountain opened up to read and almost fainted from anger.
Ancient Empire unable to withstand a single blow. Undeserved reputation. How shameless……
Looking further down, people wrote about how Ancient Empire was annihilated today.
Initially, Ancient Empire fought with two hundred men against over two thousand players but was still able to kill more than half of them. That, itself, despite the defeat, was still considered an honourable achievement. However, the forum post talked about how they were completely massacred. One look and he could tell this was fake.
However, rumours spread faster than wildfire and it was true that Ancient Empire was defeated. Therefore, there was no way they could justify that the rumours were fake since they lost the fight.
There were not many smart players on the forum. Once someone took the lead to start scolding, everyone else started scolding Ancient Empire.
Looking at that many insults, Sacred Mountain was so hot-headed that he couldn’t help but reply ‘F*ck you’ to one of the comments.
In the end, this fool had forgotten to use a different account as he used his main account to scold……
Following this curse, the forum erupted yet again.
“Everyone, come take a look! A core expert of Ancient Empire is scolding someone online!”
“F*ck! They did not even dare to fart after being humiliated by foreigners yet they dare to act so arrogantly to locals on the forum?”
“Tsk!”
The forum was flooded with replies as Sacred Mountain was dumbfounded by the replies, “Damn it! Why are you guys allowed to scold me but I can’t scold you?”
Of course, Sacred Mountain also knew that nobody would listen to his explanation at a time like this.
Therefore, he returned helplessly to the game.
“How? It sucks, right?” Seeing Sacred Mountain’s black face, Boundless Ocean chuckled as he asked.
“And you still ask?!” Sacred Mountain was furious, “Our Ancient Empire has suffered enough! As our boss, you should have a plan to help avenge us!”
“En!” Boundless Ocean nodded, “I’ve already thought of the plan.”
“Oh? Sacred Mountain asked, “What is the plan?”
Boundless Ocean replied faintly, “Gather all that we have and we will launch a counterattack on Forgotten City.”
