Volume 6, Chapter 4 – Reactions from All Sides

Inferno Invasion.

While most players still had no idea what was happening, news of the Inferno Invasion was dug up by someone paying attention and posted on the official game forums.

Inferno.

In the records of the game’s Subworld, every Inferno Invasion in the past had caused devastation on par with the previous Undead Invasions.

And every time the Inferno Invasion was pushed back, it had only been because the other factions in the game world joined forces to resist it.

And now.

After the Graveyard Invasion, on this very day when the entire game was undergoing earthshaking changes, the news of an Inferno Invasion suddenly spread……

“Inferno Invasion…… and according to reliable information, this time Inferno has seized on the current chaos in the Main World to launch a war of invasion.”

“So what you’re saying is, those Inferno demons actually came prepared?”

“Everyone, I think the Inferno invasion is absolutely something we need to take seriously. Right now the NPC forces in the Main World have all declined one after another, but our player base has grown stronger as a whole. So I feel that for this Inferno Invasion, it’s finally time for us players to step up and resolve this ourselves.”

“That sounds really nice coming from the guy upstairs. But is resisting the Inferno Invasion really going to be like you said? Personally, I think this Inferno Invasion is a great opportunity. At the very least, I think we can use this chance to directly get Inferno NPC templates.”

“According to what some players have leaked, this time the Inferno demons didn’t just dispatch demon legions. They’ve also subjugated Dark Elves and Minotaurs from the Underground World as their servant armies. That being the case, I think we can not only obtain Inferno NPC templates, we can also grab those Underground World NPC templates!”

It could be said that when they got the news about the Inferno Invasion, the vast majority of players did not feel that the Inferno Invasion was anything especially terrifying.

On the contrary, for most players, Inferno Invasion basically meant an invasion of the Main World. To put it bluntly, the Inferno Invasion was Inferno having nothing better to do and coming over to hand out NPC templates to players.

After all, players all had the ability to revive without limit, and on top of that there was now one Throne-tier existence among the players and more than a dozen Legendary ones.

It could be said that with this level of strength, players were no longer treated like the awkward nobodies who got no love from anyone back during the Graveyard Invasion.

“That idea sounds great, but first you need to take action. Guys, want to party up? I heard the place Inferno is invading this time is within the Stronghold’s old sphere of influence. Why don’t we head over first and grab the powerful NPC templates?”

“I’ll go, I’ll go, ID xxxx, add me as a friend later.”

“Count me in too, ID xxxx……”

As the news about the Inferno Invasion grew more and more widespread, nearly all players came to believe that the Inferno Invasion was real.

Thus, in just a few short days, a large number of so-called “hardcore” players, driven by the idea of hunting NPCs to obtain NPC templates, poured into the Stronghold’s old territory, into the area under Kongjing Guild’s control.

Of course.

There were also a few people who heard this news and had views different from most players.

On the eastern border of the Kingdom, Yunchou was still leading a vast player army in a standoff against Andrew’s Arcane Empire forces.

Because the Academy’s Throne-tier Great Arcane Mage was still present, Yunchou did not dare make any rash moves.

After rooting out the spies among his own subordinates, Yunchou had used some stratagems to successfully blunt Andrew’s fierce momentum, but in the end it was nothing more than small skirmishes.

And on this day, Yunchou, inside his tent, received the news about the Inferno Invasion.

“Inferno Invasion?”

Hearing his subordinate report this news, Yunchou, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, showed no sign of opening them at all.

“Only people like you, who like to follow the crowd, would take this kind of thing to heart. Although there really are signs of Inferno’s armies in this invasion, the Abyssal Lord absolutely would not start an invasion like this.”

Noticing that the subordinate in front of him did not really understand, Yunchou waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.

It was only after the tent was empty that Yunchou slowly opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened, a trace of doubt flickered through them.

“Strange…… as Envy, Seles logically shouldn’t be making a move on Dawn this early…… wasn’t she supposed to act a month from now? Why has she moved up the timetable……”

In the empty tent, only Yunchou’s voice sounded soft.

Meanwhile, opposite Yunchou’s forces, at the center of the Arcane Empire army’s current camp, Andrew, draped in his mage robes, also received news of the Inferno Invasion.

However, unlike Yunchou, once Andrew learned of this he immediately went to find his teacher, the Academy’s current Throne-tier Great Arcane Mage, Antonio.

“Teacher…… it looks like Inferno has invaded this time.”

“Inferno Invasion?”

After hearing this, the face of the aged Great Arcane Mage shifted slightly.

“When it comes to the Main World, the Abyssal Lord never changes its nature. That it would stir up a war of invasion against the Main World is only to be expected……. However, given the Abyssal Lord’s temperament, it is absolutely impossible that it would invade the Main World in such a hasty way.”

“Hasty?”

Hearing his teacher’s words, Andrew, Emperor of the Arcane Empire and himself already at Legendary strength, also showed a puzzled expression.

“Although the Abyssal Lord is fickle in its moods, every time it invades the Main World, it always appears first and publicly proclaims the invasion to the whole world.”

“And according to what the Abyssal Lord once said, if it is going to invade, it has to be a grand, ostentatious invasion. It will never carry out some sneaky invasion where it does not even announce that it is invading.”

“So I can conclude that this news of an Inferno Invasion is most likely fake.”

In the end, Antonio arrived at this conclusion.

“The Inferno Invasion is fake? I understand.”

Since his teacher had said so, Andrew also accepted that the news of the Inferno Invasion was a falsehood.

However…

At the same time, in Dawn as it existed now, Xingyu Muxi, who had likewise learned of the Inferno Invasion at the first moment, also passed this news on to Tianyin.

And after hearing about the Inferno Invasion, Tianyin’s first instinct was that it was real.

The reason she made that judgment was that before the previous System update, Heavenly Father had already told her that Inferno would launch a war to invade the Main World in the near future.

And having seen the subsequent System announcements and heard the Abyssal Lord’s words, Tianyin was fully certain that the news of the Inferno Invasion was genuine.
