Chapter 1385 - The Serious Black Dragon King

“Suicide?”

Upon hearing Fearless’ idea, Sanguine Warflag was momentarily stunned.

The other Sanguine Alliance players stranded outside of the city could neither retreat or advance. The only way for them to get out of this predicament was to kill their way into the city.

However, Lava Teeth had led his men to seal off the city gates. Thus, it wasn’t an easy task for them to do so.

Despite so, all of the Sanguine Alliance players were registered citizens of Saga City. If they died, they would resurrect within it.

Previously, Sanguine Warflag and the rest were too focused on running that they had actually forgotten such a trick.

It couldn’t be helped. Even though the drop in EXP was little from committing suicide, a drop in EXP was still a drop in EXP. If they could break through from the front and enter the city, none of the players would ever consider such a method to escape their current predicament.

Perhaps only someone like Fearless, who saw other players as tools instead of humans, would be able to casually think of such an idea.

Sanguine Asura by the side rejected the idea and retorted, “Isn’t that the same as dying? What’s the difference between that and a complete wipeout!?”

“It’s different!”

Fearless raised one of his brows, before coolly saying, “Without destruction, there can never be construction. After destruction, only can there be construction! You are already an adult, yet you can’t understand the difference between taking the initiative and following others?”

Counter-attacking after death was a strategy that required technicality.

For the Black Dragon Guild to be able to think of their ambush and pincer stratagems, they would naturally not overlook the fact that once the Sanguine Alliance players died, they would resurrect within the city.

Given the number of players the Black Dragon Guild had, they were naturally able to contain the number of deaths of the Sanguine Alliance players to their desired level.

This way, even if the Sanguine Alliance players were to resurrect within the city walls, their numbers would be contained and wouldn’t have much significant impact on the overall tide of the battle.

Therefore, after all of the Sanguine Alliance players had returned to the city, they would be able to take control of the battle once more. Not only would it result in the reinforcements from the Black Dragon Guild to fail to pincer their target, but Sanguine Alliance would also be able to re-organise their formation and prepare for a counter-attack.

This, was the difference between active and passive fighting.

Furthermore, there was a psychological difference between being killed by someone and committing suicide. The cause of death would greatly affect the morale of the player.

Upon hearing what Fearless said, Sanguine Asura revealed a look of confusion. No one knew if he understood what Fearless was conveying.

Of course, Fearless did not hope that this brat would be able to understand what he was saying. As long as Sanguine Warflag wasn’t that stupid, it was fine.

As they were speaking, Sanguine Stormbringer had already brought the Sanguine Alliance players to reinforce the defenses at the city wall. At this moment, Sanguine Stormbringer, who was atop the walls, happened to see the reinforcement troops from the Black Dragon Guild charging towards Saga City a short distance away from the Sanguine Alliance players outside of the city walls.

As per what Fearless said, the size of the reinforcement troops from Black Dragon Guild was terrifying. It seemed as though there was a sea of black masses making their way towards the city, seemingly as if Black Dragon Guild had enveloped the area surrounding Saga City.

Upon receiving the news from Sanguine Stormbringer, Sanguine Warflag gave the order for the Sanguine Alliance players to commit suicide without hesitation.

Upon hearing their Guild Leader’s order, the reaction from the Sanguine Alliance players was the same as Sanguine Asura. They did not understand the rationale behind Sanguine Warflag’s order. What was comforting, however, was the fact that under different circumstances, people’s mindset would be different.

Sanguine Asura was merely questioning the way everyone should die while all the other players outside started weighing the pros and cons.

Currently, the reinforcement troops from the Black Dragon Guild were drawing closer towards them. Upon realising that they would still die either way, the Sanguine Alliance players naturally chose to commit suicide, saving their face a little.

Furthermore, this was an order given by their Boss. There was no point in surviving for a few more minutes to be labelled as an underling that did not obey orders.

Thinking up till this point, under the shocked eyes of the Black Dragon Guild players, the Sanguine Alliance players, outside of the city walls, all simultaneously raised their weapons and drew a horizontal line across their necks… wu, there’s no need for everyone to wonder how the Magicians could use their staffs to slit their own throats. It was a gesture for the players to commit suicide under the game’s system, and not the author’s fault. Let’s focus our attention back on the battlefield.

The sight of tens of thousands of players committing suicide at the same time was extremely spectacular.

“Swoosh!”

Countless of white lights gathered and rose up into the air, almost causing the dog eyes of the Black Dragon Guild players to become blind. Even the Black Dragon Guild players suspected that this move by Sanguine Alliance was meant to blind them to death.

“…”

Upon seeing the empty and sparse land in front of them, it seemed as though the Sanguine Alliance players were never there to begin with. The sea of Black Dragon Guild players that were valiantly charging over previously, seemed to have lost their meaning in life all of a sudden.

At this moment, Dragon Blade and Lava Teeth simultaneously sent a message to Black Dragon King, saying, “Boss, all of the Sanguine Alliance players committed suicide!”

“Committed suicide!!”

Upon receiving this news, Black Dragon King’s face violently contracted. After pondering over the situation for a moment, a strange smile crept up on his face as he sincerely praised out loud, “Good, good good, no wonder they are one of the top guilds in China. They really do live up to their reputation!”

Dragon Tooth, who was standing by his side, exclaimed in shock, “To think that the Sanguine Alliance players would be willing to commit suicide just to return back to their city! It’s too terrifying!”

It was so difficult for everyone to raise their levels in this stage of the game. Unless it was necessary, there would be no player willing to die and lose their EXP. For all of the Sanguine Alliance players to do so without any hesitation was simply too terrifying.

After all, if they were so ruthless with themselves, how ruthless would they be to their enemy then?

“Haha!”

Black Dragon King coolly smiled and said, “Initially, I had wanted to win this battle with the least amount of casualties, but it seemed like I have underestimated this group of youngsters, they have actually forced me to take them seriously! Since that’s the case, let’s go all out and attack the city!”

As he was speaking, Black Dragon King gave the order in the guild chat for them to go all out and attack Saga City.

That’s right, this was the stupidest move, and yet, it was Black Dragon King’s killer move.

Since ancient times, attacking and defending a city was ultimately a battle of resources.

In reality, it was food and water. In games, it was the durability of the equipment and medicine available to sustain the players.

Before Sanguine Alliance had the chance to settle themselves down in Saga City, they were called to war by Black Dragon Guild. Even if they had brought a significant amount of supplies when they came over, it was still limited.

Furthermore, Immortal Island and Brave Continent were separated by the vast seas. Even if there was a boat, by the time reinforcements arrived from the Brave Continent, Sanguine Alliance would have more or less met its doom. Being isolated without any support was Sanguine Alliance biggest disadvantage in this war.

Black Dragon Guild, on the other hand, occupied three islands and five cities on Immortal Island. They had an abundant amount of supplies and the number of their players were even more shocking. If they were to fight to the death with Sanguine Alliance, whether the members of Sanguine Alliance could go back home alive to tell the tale would be up to the heavens.

Of course, there was only one outcome at the end of this battle. It would be when Sanguine Alliance ran out of supplies and the city no longer had any more resources to sustain itself.

“Just for a single Saga City? Is it worth it?”

Dragon Tooth expressed his confusion with regards to Black Dragon King’s decision.

Saga City, had all along been the poorest city controlled by Black Dragon Guild. Apart from the low income that they received from the city, as the City Lord Seal wasn’t held by a player, they weren’t even able to collect taxes…

Rallying such a large force and risking everything just to take down such a broken city was truly illogical.

“Worth it!”

Black Dragon King coolly said, “One should not be too short-sighted, and only see the short term gains in front of you. Once the shipping route opens, Saga City will be the city with the largest water traffic. Another thing is that…”

Speaking up till this point, Black Dragon King paused for a moment, as an imposing aura emitted from his body.

Following which, Black Dragon King continued, “I want to let everyone know who calls the shots around here!”
