<h4>Chapter 988: No Retreat</h4>


    The person who felt the most wronged was, of course, Evil Rampage himself. He was merely a passerby and had just dropped by to pay a visit. Who would have known that he would be regarded as a Twilight City member!


    It couldn’t be helped. Whenever a yer arrived in a new home city, it was basic knowledge that they would register their new resurrection point at the local hotel. Even someone a gaming amateur like Wang Yu had already developed such a habit, much less Evil Rampage.


    The moment this transaction urs, the yer would be registered as a Twilight City yer. It was exactly what had happened for Evil Rampage.


    Even though the rewards for the Quest were unknown, the penalty for failing the Quest was clearly stated. It was death and the confiscation of the yer’s assets.


    The assets that would be confiscated include assets such as a Guild Headquarters shophouse, even the items that a yer deposited in the banks would be confiscated.


    When facing such Quests, everyone’s first thought would be to ce all of their valuable items in the banks, such that in the event that they were to unfortunately die, they would not lose any of their valuable items. After all, a yer’s LV could be trained back. So long as they still had their items with them, it was only a matter of time before they achieved back their previous glory.


    However, with such a punishment established, the yers would probably be afraid to deposit their valuable items in the banks... After all, the chances of them dying and losing all of the items on them were way smaller than that of the destruction of the home city.


    Evil Rampage was truly unlucky... Currently, he was carrying a few tens of thousands of cape fragments on him... His entire inventory had nothing else apart from these fragments... If he was to be hacked to death, he would be more valuable than an actual BOSS!


    Thinking up till this point, Evil Rampage was on the verge of tears. Everyone started to wonder if the system had nned all of these deliberately in order to go against the yers from Twilight City that had exploited the most from this event.


    At this moment, Extravagant Riches was busy proposing the n of withholding any purchases of the fragments with the other guild leaders of variousrge guilds. However, the moment the system’s announcement rang out, the expressions of these guild leaders became twisted.


    Normally, everyone did not dare to harbour the thought ofunching an attack against Twilight City. As big as a Guild can get, it was merely an ant aspared the grandeur of a home city.


    However, now that Twilight City has be the target of all yers in the game from the Light Faction, the situation was no longer the same.


    The moment the Quest was issued, there would definitely be countless of yers attacking Twilight City. As many yers as Twilight City may have, it still could not bepared to the number of yers in the game.


    The current Quan Zhen Sect definitely could not bepared to how they were in the past. Previously, the yers from Quan Zhen Sect didn’t even have sufficient resources to afford their basic equipment. However, the resources that these yers now held would certainly make countless of yers die of envy.


    Hence, in the eyes of these people, this Quest was an extremely good opportunity for them. What was initially a discussion on how to slowly drag out and wring Quan Zhen Sect to their death had suddenly be a discussion on how tounch a frontal attack on Quan Zhen Sect.


    Of course, the yers from Twilight City would not standby and willingly let others do as they please. Emerging victorious in this war would bring them immeasurable prestige. Losing on the other hand would result in them losing everything of value to them. Currently, the yers from Twilight City had no way out of their current predicament and were forced into a corner by the system.


    There might still be a slim chance of victory should they put up a resistance. Choosing not to take any action on the other hand would only result in imminent death. There were no morals or ethics in the game. The moment the army from the Light Faction had sessfully broken into Twilight City, they would naturally take away anything that they can possibly take.


    As for the lone yers that did not have much possessions, this predicament wasn’t much of a concern for them. All they had to do was take out all of their valuable items from the bank and stay offline for two days before ying the game again. After all, the loss of Twilight City wasn’t much of a loss for them. However, it was an entirely different case for the guild yers in Twilight City. They had a Guild Headquarters, they had friends ... after managing it for so long, how could they bear to see someone snatch it all away from them.


    Thus, the moment the Quest was announced, Sanguine Warg had taken the initiative to initiate a group chat with the other Guild Leaders to discuss the matter of survival.


    At this moment, everyone was feeling extremely depressed. For someone like Sanguine Warg who couldn’t keep his feelings to himself, he gloomily said, “F*ck, is there something wrong with the system... Why would it target us yers from Twilight City.”


    Captain Don’t Open Fire sarcastically replied, “Stop bullsh*tting, it is just our luck to have a yer act as a city lord. What’s worse is that the Quan Zhen Sect yers had actually umted more fragments than all of the yers in the gamebined...”


    Upon hearing this, everyone was infuriated and started expressing their discontent, “Technically speaking, we are not the ones that had exploited this event. Furthermore the City Lord isn’t even either of us...”


    2012, who all along had some beef against Quan Zhen Sect, had evene out to directly scold Quan Zhen Sect, “That’s right, what the f*ck is going on... Why should we take the me for the troubles caused by the Quan Zhen Sect?”


    “... Eh.” Upon hearing what 2012 said, all of the Guild Leaders were momentarily stunned. Feigning ignorance, Sanguine Warg said, “2012, what did you just say? I didn’t manage to catch it...”


    “I didn’t hear it either.” Everyone else yed along.


    What kind of nonsense was this. If the yers from Quan Zhen Sect were to hear of such a thing, before the yers outside of Twilight City had a chance to attack the city, they would have already been long dead by then.


    Regaining his senses, with a face full of cold sweat, 2012 asked Sanguine Warg timidly, “Please tell me the yers from Quan Zhen Sect are not in this chat...”


    “They aren’t...” Sanguine Warg replied, “I know this bunch of people very well. They don’t care about things like their Guild Headquarters. They should have already logged off the game to wait for this predicament to pass.”


    “F*ck... this bunch of people...” Upon hearing Sanguine Warg’s response, 2012 felt both joy and sadness in his heart.


    He was happy at the fact that he did not incur the wrath of Quan Zhen Sect, but at the same time sad that even though this entire situation was caused by them, they had got off scot-free and everyone else here had to deal with their mess.


    What’s more, even though the bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect were oddballs, their abilities were nothing to be scoffed at. With just slightly over ten of them, theirbined battle strength wasn’t in any way weakerpared to that of arge guild. Especially more so for the pair, Wang Yu and Fearless, who, up till this date, were still the greatest nightmare of everyrge guild.


    Currently, in the face of such a great enemy, everyone had very little confidence in winning this battle. Now that the people from Quan Zhen Sect weren’t around, they did not entertain any hope ofing out of this alive.


    “That’s not right. Why do I still see them online?” At this moment, Captain Don’t Open Fire interjected and said, after taking a nce at his friends list.


    “Oh? Is that true?” Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression became conflicted...


    In all honesty, everyone truly didn’t want to cooperate with Quan Zhen Sect. However, without them, it would feel as if they didn’t have someone to back them up, making them feel insecure... For theserge guilds to actually develop such a reliance on these ten over yers was something unimaginable.


    Just when everyone was contemting whether they should invite everyone from Quan Zhen Sect over into the chat, Sanguine Warg had already jumped the gun and did so.


    “Eh? What’s this group chat?” Everyone was puzzled by Sanguine Warg’s sudden invitation.


    Fearless, on the other hand, coolly replied, “What else could this be for. Of course, it is to discuss how to deal with the iing enemy. It has been a good ten minutes after the announcement has been made, could it be that you guys were discussing how to deal with us Quan Zhen Sect?”


    Seems like Fearless was aware of the situation... He knew fully well that the current predicament of Twilight City was caused by them.


    “This...”


    Upon hearing what Fearless said, everyone started to feel a little awkward. Thankfully for Sanguine Warg’s thick skin, he immediately shifted the topic back to the matter at hand, “Boss Fearless, now that we are all in the same boat, you have to call the shots for us.”


    Fearless indifferently replied, “Tsk, I’m not the city lord. Why am I the one calling the shots.”


    “Brother Bull!!” Sanguine Warg and the rest hurriedly pleaded with Wang Yu.


    Seeing the state that everyone was in, the good-natured Wang Yu couldn’t bear to bully them any further. Waving his hand, he said, “Alright!”


    “F*ck!” Fearless pointed his middle finger at Wang Yu, following which he said in the chat group, “Everyone, make your way over to the City Lord’s Mansion. Remember to bring along a copy of Twilight City’s map.”
