I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 223 - Follow Or Not To Follow!

Chapter 223 Follow Or Not To Follow!

The entire City of Dawn was mourning.

Even though the dark clouds had dispersed, and the brilliant sun was up in the sky, the commoners felt there were dark veils in front of their eyes…

Almost 60,000 professionals perished.

Half of them did not have a home.

What about the other half?

The initial joy of victory dissipated, and what remained was unbounded sorrow. It was hard to get over the depressing memories.

In the City of Dawn, the picturesque scenery was no longer in sight. The houses were in shambles. The orderly magic lamps fell all over the place. The surface of the clear pristine Rainbow River was covered with a layer of hazy soot.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the streets, countless corpses lay, covered in white sheets!

Numerous commoners mourned their losses.

The players who were able to revive walked on the streets in a daze.

“Did you see my son? Did you see my son? He’s tall. He’s only 16 years old with short black hair. He’s white and clean. When he smiles, there are dimples on his face. He had just become the reserve soldier. Did you see him?” An elderly woman almost bawled her eyes blind. She grasped the arm of a player and asked incessantly.

The player was Xiao Ayin. Her eyes were red, and she pursed her lips. Then she consoled the elderly woman, “Granny, don’t worry. He’s fine. He’s fine. The reserve legion is the last legion to fight. Your son’s going to be fine.”

“Really? Why didn’t he come home… why didn’t he come home?” The elderly woman sat depressed by the street while she mumbled to herself.

Xiao Ayin did not dare to divulge more. There were many soldiers who were still on the battlefield, but they were Intermediate professionals and the BOSS, Burned Cinder. They were using the s.p.a.ce ring to remove the corpses on the battlefield.

The reason for the novice-professionals who had not returned…

There was only a possibility.

They perished without leaving any corpses.

There were too many such cases.

The casualties numbered 60,000.

Half of the corpses were not brought back. Most of these corpses had been consumed by the dark creatures. Hence, there were no traces of those corpses.

The professionals of Glory Club sat in a daze by the side while they watched the commoners mourning. They knew that the City of Dawn had suffered ma.s.sive casualties.

Lord William had the ultimate capability and power.

But if he could not handle the aftermath properly,

The City of Dawn could have a crisis.

Perhaps they were afraid of the power of Lord William. So even though they were full of anger, they did not utter a word.

But many commoners started scolding…

Unfortunately, they only saw the surface of things. They did not realize the good intention of William.

William had been maintaining good relationships with the commoners. Currently, his popularity dipped, but it was not at a stage where riots would occur.

“If Prince William had not allowed the novice professionals to fight…”

“Shut up!” Chu Liuqiu glared at his own members and said coldly, “Have you browsed the official website? In the ten days of the Darkness invasion, how many cities and Dukedoms had been overrun? The casualties numbered 1 billion. Do you know what 1 billion is? Do you understand that 1 billion corpses can fill up the entire gra.s.s plain to a great height?”

“Without Prince William’s decisiveness and his alliance, the City of Dawn and the entire southeastern region will become like those destroyed nations.”

“Take a look at the destroyed cities and the countless casualties. If we had reached that stage, the casualties would not have been limited to professionals. Do you think that these angry commoners would still be alive? They would have been the first ones to be ma.s.sacred by the dark creatures!”

The members were being scolded by Chu Liuqiu, and they kept quiet.

Chu Liuqiu browsed the forum and read the posts.

Many players were badmouthing the City of Dawn lately.

They criticized the ma.s.sive casualties and blamed Lord William for being heartless by sending the novice professionals to their deaths.

Chu Liuqiu would like to rebuke that if William did not send the NPCs, could he depend on the players?

A Beginner-level NPC was far superior to a novice player. Did the players not know about this?

The novice players were wild chargers in combat. Even if Chu Liuqiu shouted until he became mute, he was not able to stop these greenhorns.

The counterattack on the seventh day was chaotic.

The battalions of the players were extremely disorderly.

As the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 players…

He wanted to grumble.

How could he command them?

It was a huge battlefield, and the players did not understand the flag signals. He could only communicate to the legion commanders via magic transmission scrolls and let them lead their players.

On the final counterattack, he used not less than five magic transmission scrolls. However, he was still unable to prevent the chaos created by the players.

The first wave was the attack by the silver-backed monkeys.

The second wave was the attack by the Blade Cavalry Legion and the Troll legion.

The third wave was the other regular legions!

The fourth wave consisted of the players.

Prince William let the players who had been recently upgraded to fight an easy battle. But what happened to the players?

They fought in a mess!

Chu Liuqiu was curious when he received the order. Why did Prince William not let the players be cannon fodders?

Finally, Chu Liuqiu understood.

Prince William wanted to maintain morale!

Prince William did not want the army morale to be affected by the actions of the players.

The dark army consisted of 500,000 dark creatures.

Would the players be cannon fodders willingly?

Many of the players would flee even if the rewards were generous.

At that time, the morale of the army would be diminished. How could the Dawn Army win a decisive battle?

Normally, Chu Liuqiu would only read posts instead of creating them.

As the world championship team leader, he created a post.

[Why are you badmouthing Prince William as a heartless ruler?]

Chu Liuqiu did not pull any punches.

He had an overall strategic view and all the data.

Everything depended on the statistics.

He posted the data of the destroyed Dukedoms on the nine continents: 89, only 13 Dukedoms were still hanging by a thread.

(Professional’s Casualties: 7,100,000]

[Commoner’s Casualties: 93,100,000]

(Professional’s Casualties in the Southeastern Region: 180,000]

(Commoner’s Casualties in the Southeastern Region: 3,531)

[Commoner’s Casualties in the City of Dawn:9]

At the same time, he posted several videos which dEpicted Prince William making the mission arrangements to ensure the safety of the commoners!

After that, he posted his message. “The final counterattack was initiated by Prince William. Only Prince William had the leadership to conduct the counterattack.

“In the Darkness invasion of the nine continents, only the southeastern region led by Prince William achieved victory.

“And the City of Dawn only lost nine commoners. Why did you badmouth Prince William against your conscience? If the Beginner-level professionals should not have fought, did you expect the commoners to do so?

“Are you morons who only know how to badmouth the prince?”

The player ‘Hug The Thighs Of G.o.ddess’ commented, “I did not see anything. I immediately made this comment when I discovered that it was veteran Chu Liuqui who posted.”

The player ‘Heartless La.s.s’ said, “I am unable to be the second commenter, so I shall be the third. I’m fully prepared to watch the show.”

The player ‘Showy Fighter Without True Capability’ commented, “It must be the work of those rich players in Emerald Grand Duchy. They must have seen Goethe Nasis changing into a devil. Hence, they also became evil and started denouncing the prince.”

The player ‘Forever Alone’ said, “Light of Freedom recruited the spammers. Someone sent me a screenshot. Please take a look.”

A screenshot was uploaded to the forum.

“Gosh, there are two professionals commenting in a single post. Light of Freedom is too despicable. I want to know when we can go to the Emerald Grand Duchy and kill that b.u.g.g.e.r until he quit the game!”

Chu Liuqiu’s post garnered the attention of many players.

It was immediately pinned at the top by the forum administrator.

William, who was still resting, browsed through the forum and noticed the post. He gave Chu Liuqiu a ‘like’. He was going to give Chu Liuqiu a reward in the future.

Even though William did not care about the players’ comments about him,

He felt that some players were a p.r.i.c.k.

William stroked his chin while he contemplated how to deal with Light of Freedom.

“Do you know about ‘Freedom Cage’? There’s a magic scroll that limits the freedom of a player. When a player dies, he’s unable to return to the revival point because he’s stuck in a cage!

“Do you know about ‘Dark Cage’? You’ll be cast into the Dark World. Even if you perish, you’ll revive in the Dark World.

“Do you know what ‘Veteran Killing a Novice’ means? Yes, you should know that.”

The ‘Freedom Cage’ and ‘Dark Cage’ were invented by NPCs to deal with the chosen ones!

This development happened because some chosen ones were simply too despicable…

They made the NPCs blow their tops off.

Hence, the NPCs worked very hard to invent things to deal with the chosen ones.

The ‘Freedom Cage’ magic scroll could only be made by an enchanter, so it was invented by the NPCs in the later part of the game.

William did not want to waste his efforts on ‘Light of Freedom’. He had no intention to recruit the a.s.sa.s.sins of the a.s.sa.s.sins’ Alliance either as it was a waste of money.

When William would go on a trip to Emerald Grand Duchy, he would just kill the level 10 Light of Freedom. Oh, Light of Freedom had created a 20,000-strong guild called ‘Freedom Alliance’.

In that case, William decided to destroy the guild too…

In any case, it was a good chance for William to gain experience points.

If Light of Freedom dared to level up, William would kill him each time.

Until Light of Freedom changed his account.

But William would still kill him.

As long as Light of Freedom created posts on the forum.

William was able to disguise himself as a common NPC and kill Light of Freedom a million times.

William had already become a Legendary BOSS. There was no need for him to be petty with a player. However, William was indignant that Light of Freedom was badmouthing him even though the Light of Freedom was hundreds of kilometers away!

William had forgotten about the players in the City of Dawn…

Since his players were too far away to avenge him, then William had to avenge himself.

It was time to let the players witness how a Legendary became a butcher and ma.s.sacre the entire guild.

“It’s beneficial for everyone. Once I destroy Light of Freedom and his guild, they will not be able to create more troubles.”

William mischievously laughed. He had to make a trip to Emerald Grand Duchy.

He remembered version 2.0 even though it had been quite a while. He had to make preparations.

William had no intention to show himself in the City of Dawn. He wanted the anger of the commoners to dissipate before he dealt with the aftermath. There was a loud bang!

He flew to the moon tree that was emitting black smoke!

He noticed the destroyed aerial garden and an exposed teleportation portal.

Arthur stood in a daze at the side. He did not know how Annie managed to obtain a magic scroll. The power was so strong that the barrier of a s.p.a.ce Enchanter was destroyed…

“MD, the Darkness invasion of the southeastern region was a child’s play. The Darkness invasion of the Moonlight Forest was the real deal!” William felt a headache as his face became grave.

Should he follow? Or not?
