Volume 6, Chapter 5 – Reversal of the Situation – Doubting “Cow Life”

“Since Inferno has chosen to invade, then I’ve decided I can’t just sit back and ignore it.”

After basically confirming in her heart that the Inferno Invasion was real, Tianyin came to that conclusion.

That was, to make a move against Inferno’s invading army, as well as the native armies from the Underground World that seemed to have joined forces with Inferno.

“Don’t rush, Xiaoyin, even if you want to intervene in something like this, you shouldn’t be the first to jump in.”

After Tianyin stated her position, the elven girl Xingyu Muxi shook her head, rejecting Tianyin’s idea.

“This kind of matter affects the entire Main World. If Inferno invades, it won’t just be Dawn, the other forces won’t be able to stay out of it either.”

“So Xiaoyin, from a big-picture standpoint your decision isn’t wrong, but don’t forget you’re still Dawn’s leader.”

“As the leader, what you have to consider first is our own faction.”

Xingyu Muxi spoke at ease.

“When it comes to the Inferno Invasion, there is no way our faction alone should shoulder it. Just like when we faced the Graveyard Undead’s offensive back then, what we need is all the Main World’s forces acting together.”

“So Xiaoyin, the urgent task right now isn’t to act immediately, it’s to plan thoroughly before we move.”

“Mm…… I get it.”

Tianyin understood what Xingyu Muxi meant.

After all that talk, what Xingyu Muxi wanted to say was nothing more than that Tianyin should not be too impulsive, and should only decide whether to act after fully understanding Inferno’s information and the stance of each faction in the Main World.

Now that things had come to this, even though she felt that she bore some responsibility for Inferno’s invasion, Tianyin was not foolish enough to sacrifice all of Dawn just to deal with the Inferno Invasion.

She knew very well that she could put off dealing with Inferno’s legions for a few days, but Dawn, in her view, could not be destroyed because of her own impulsiveness.

Without realizing it, Tianyin slowly discovered that her feelings toward Dawn had changed from the initial attitude of not taking Dawn to heart when it was first founded, to seeing Dawn as something she could no longer afford to lose.

Dawn was a bond she could not cut away.

That was what Tianyin felt in her heart.

Not only because Dawn was something Xingyu Muxi had built up with her own hands, but also because Dawn already held all sorts of beautiful memories for Tianyin.

No matter what the future became, for Tianyin, Dawn, which carried so many of her fond memories, had already become her home.

Tianyin absolutely did not want to see anything happen to Dawn.

And compared to the Inferno Invasion, Dawn’s safety was far more important.

“Sister Xiaomu, then should we watch and wait for a few days?”

“Mm, let’s observe for a few more days. After all, when it comes to the Inferno Invasion, what most people have heard is just rumors. What you see with your own eyes is real, what you hear is unreliable. And besides… even what you see yourself and hear yourself might turn out to be fake.”

“So… before we figure out where the other forces in the Main World stand, we absolutely cannot be the first to jump out.”

“It’s always that one percent chance you have to worry about. I really feel that this whole Inferno Invasion business reeks of something off.”

In the end, that was how Xingyu Muxi wrapped it up.

“Weird… huh?”

Tianyin also wore an adorably thoughtful expression.

In her mind, she began asking Samael for her opinion on this Inferno Invasion.

What surprised Tianyin was that Samael’s view was the same as Xingyu Muxi’s, maintaining a skeptical attitude toward this Inferno Invasion.

“So… could it be that this Inferno Invasion really is fake?”

In the end, Tianyin also began to doubt this news.

Main World.

After Kongjing Guild spread the story that Inferno was joining forces with the Underground World’s NPC inhabitants to attack the Main World together, many solo players, along with some players with ulterior motives, flocked into the territory under Kongjing Guild’s control.

With the arrival of these solo players, Kongjing Guild also began organizing them to launch probing attacks against the Underground World’s NPC armies.

In the end, these few probing attacks did not yield any great results. Although they did obtain some NPC templates, compared to the players who had been killed several times by NPCs and lost many levels, that small number of NPC templates was nothing to be happy about.

However, these probing attacks did manage to gather some intelligence on those NPC armies.

And the most critical piece of information was that the NPC army currently present was just the vanguard, numbering less than three hundred thousand. Dealing with that many NPCs was only a matter of time for the vast legions of players.

Operating on the idea of wearing down the invading forces, Kongjing Guild directly began organizing large numbers of solo players to launch assaults on those NPC armies from the Underground World.

As hordes of solo players swarmed those NPC armies, Kongjing Guild also assembled an elite squad of guild members to lead the solo players in “wiping out” the NPC forces from the Underground World.

Of course, they were not leading these solo players for nothing. At the very least, Kongjing Guild had paid quite a price to make those solo players follow their orders.

Once Kongjing Guild stepped in, the three hundred thousand NPC troops from the Underground World were also in grave danger, and over the next three days they were practically subjected, day and night, to the almost endless assaults of the player armies.

Another morning.

As the eastern sun slowly rose, its newborn rays brought the dawn and tore through the darkness.

Under the dim sky, on a relatively steep hillside, squads of Minotaur soldiers who looked utterly exhausted and drained of spirit were slumped on the ground.

At the foot of the slope, shouts and killing cries shook the heavens.

From here you could see a dense, seemingly endless sea of outsiders, surging in wave after wave against the positions at the foot of the hill.

It had been three days.

The outsiders’ assault had already continued for a full three days and nights.

Facing these frail outsiders who attacked as if their lives were worthless, the Minotaur soldiers from the Underground World had gone from initial disdain to growing terror.

Yes.

The way these outsiders fought without regard for their lives really was frightening.

It was not just that they did not care about dying. After three days and nights of holding the line, the number of outsiders did not seem to have gone down at all. On the contrary, it even gave the illusion that their numbers had increased.

“Why is this happening?”

The rather dull-witted Minotaurs had lived in the Underground World for ages, so they did not know that these outsiders could revive without limit.

Precisely because they did not know the outsiders could revive endlessly, the Minotaur soldiers felt utterly baffled whenever they thought of those outsiders who were “fearlessly ferocious,” determined to get at least one hit in even if they died.

“Weren’t we the ones who came here to invade? How did it end up feeling like we’re the ones being invaded?”

As the outsiders attacked them day and night without rest, the Minotaur soldiers started to doubt their whole “cow life.”
