Join the ServerThe terrifying task began without warning.
Known: Monster siege.
Known: Monsters = us.
Conclusion: We siege.
Oh my god, we were going to siege a city? A few of us attack the border stronghold, one of the most powerful main cities—Minos City? And it was a Minos City that had been overrun, possibly several times more terrifying!
Though we had finally triggered the next phase of the main quest, it made our hearts sink… Was this really a task we could complete at our current level? Had we triggered it too early?
“These beasts…” Alexia gnashed her teeth, her eyes splitting with rage. Even as strong as she was, having weathered countless storms, she couldn’t help the tears that welled up in her eyes. “Two million people in Minos City! Can you imagine? The despairing cries of those waiting to be slaughtered!”
“Who did this?” I seized the opportunity to ask. At least we needed to know who our opponent was. Could it be the legendary great enemy of the demon race?
“I’m not sure!” Alexia stared angrily in the direction of Minos City. “The North holds too many secrets and too many unknown races. Some have already adapted to the northern environment and have no interest in our living areas, like the yeti race… But more of them yearn to replace us and control the warm, radiant lands of the South—like the exiled ancient ancestors, or the interdimensional demons whose portal is buried beneath the snow…”
“But judging by the energy within Shermi, what we are facing this time is likely related to those beings we’ve been investigating without any leads…”
Our legs immediately felt weaker… Good heavens, we were just level 40 small fry! Facing a super monster that even Saint-tier experts couldn’t figure out… Wasn’t this going too far?
Fortunately, as long as it was a quest, there was always a solution—unless the quest exceeded our current level. But Alexia and Xue Li weren’t stupid; they wouldn’t set us an impossible task.
“Your current strength is too weak. You haven’t even reached mid-tier. Asking you to siege a city is indeed beyond your ability… However, we certainly won’t make you do what you can’t. Your task is simple,” Xue Li said.
Oh, so that’s it?
“Intercept the fifty thousand players inside the city.”
Pft—
I turned around, scanned the surroundings, then scratched my ear and asked hesitantly, “Lady Alexia, we didn’t quite hear clearly… How many did you say?”
Alexia glanced at me in surprise. “Fifty thousand. Is that a lot?”
“Well… it is a lot…” Huo Jinjin muttered, wiping cold sweat.
Even if our equipment crushed those of the same level and our techniques were decent, the gap wasn’t that huge. Taking on ten at once was already good… except for me.
“One against fifty thousand would be exhausting,” I replied with a grimace. “And it would take a long time… I can’t stop them from getting close to you, either.”
Though I could wear them down.
“As if you could actually beat them,” Xue Li made a disdainful gesture at me, but I didn’t bother to explain.
“We’re not asking you to fight them head-on. We’re asking you to maintain the formation… Alright, no more chit-chat. From now on, enter combat mode!” As she spoke, Alexia seemed to emit a chilling aura, and the atmosphere instantly grew cold and stern.
“This is a siege, not a joke! If I told you the consequences of failure, you wouldn’t be able to laugh!” Xue Li suddenly turned grim, becoming extremely serious, shedding her usual carefree demeanor.
This wasn’t just a mission—it was a mission of great significance!
The fall of Minos undoubtedly meant that the infamous enemy had already penetrated deep into the continent’s heartland.
Not only did this represent a massive disaster for the world Alexia and Xue Li lived in, but it also meant that today, [Pursuit] would experience the strongest earthquake since its launch! This would be the first major event in [Pursuit]’s chronicle!
And this major event would change everything! From now on, all players on the Ader Continent would be plunged into the quagmire of war! And we, with our own hands, had set off this great era of war!
We were pushing history forward, and also pushing the game forward… I guessed that after we finished this mission, whether we succeeded or failed, the second world of [Pursuit] had only just truly started operating!
From today on, countless quests would become available, various large and small hidden forces or factions would begin accepting players, and the strength of players across the continent would usher in a true leap!
Main quest—truly living up to its name! The generous rewards were just a bonus; the real purpose of the main quest was to drive historical progress!
Thinking this, we immediately got pumped: “We await your orders!”
“Don’t pledge loyalty so fast. Let me first explain the consequences of failure before you decide whether to participate… Even we haven’t decided if we should do this yet…”
Xue Li sighed, gently took Alexia’s hand, looked up at her with a somewhat mournful expression, and asked, “Are you really sure about this? You know the consequences better than I do…”
“There’s no reason not to do it. Minos has fallen, the border is lost, and the situation in the interior has become treacherous. Every second we delay could allow that unknown force to prepare and set up a teleportation gate inland… No matter what, we must close this gate to hell—Minos City—that started everything.” Alexia replied calmly.
“So what? You know I don’t care about those things. I only care about…” Xue Li’s voice carried a plea.
Seeing Alexia unmoved, she had no choice but to sigh and continue, “Anyway, I’ll go with you. Wherever you go, I’ll follow. But you have to understand: if we fail to take Minos City, the Alliance will prove that the city has already fallen. Shermi will take the opportunity to report to that bunch of pigs at the Alliance Tribunal that we attacked Minos City without reason. Then we’ll become traitors… and from there, the enemies of all life on the continent!”
Xue Li’s little face was full of unshakeable worry.
But Alexia shook her head without hesitation. “You can hide for a while, but not forever. With greater power comes greater responsibility. If we can’t retake Minos City, the interior will completely collapse in a few days. When that happens, no matter how vast the world is, there will be no place for us to settle.”
“Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! We can go to an alternate dimension!” Xue Li was so anxious she was about to cry.
“Alright, be good, stop fussing… It’s settled. If I don’t do this, I will betray my faith, and the sword heart I’ve cultivated all along will shatter completely. I’ll become an ordinary person, and with so many enemies, I wouldn’t last a few days either…” Alexia hugged Xue Li and gently rubbed her head.
We didn’t disturb them, quietly swallowing this bowl of yuri dog food.
“Oh, right, I haven’t told you the failure penalty yet. If we fail to take the city and can’t defeat Shermi, you will become public enemies of the continent just like us. You decide for yourselves.”
