MewkuMewku laughed and brought up another topic, "Everyone in the game knows about our forces fighting here, and each of us is probably being ambushed back home by opportunists, just like Sagi-kung. But he might have it easier. Although the greatest fleet on the server has been greatly destroyed, the other side is also attacking by sea." She knew that players are launching a naval invasion against Sagittarius too.
Guhai Wubian nodded seriously. He, along with the three other lords present, had also been ambushed back home while leading their troops to surround the dwarves, but they suffered less damage compared to Sagittarius. In the last battle against the dwarves, they had only defended, so the damage was limited.
They didn't know how Sagittarius was doing or if the naval battle had ended.
At that moment, the host walked in. He smiled at the four lords and said, "Sorry I'm late. I was out exploring the battlefield. Our investment was absolutely worth it...""
During the meeting of the five lords to divide the profits from the investment in this war,
"Yay!!!" The VIP audience in the sky cheered.
"Amazing! Brilliant moves!"
"Sagittarius lured them into a trap, then held back the well-equipped front line before retreating. After that, the armies of the four city lords surrounded and attacked from all directions!"
"That's a traitor!" exclaimed one of the VIP spectators as they pointed to a player who was chasing after the fleeing golem forces. This VIP audience member clearly saw the player emerge from the bunker and then inform the dwarf king to reorganize and prepare for the encirclement.
The special privilege of the VIP audience in the sky was being able to see and hear everything.
When one person raised the issue, the wave of nationalism erupted, glorifying the human race, even though this was merely a "game."
Everyone had to cheer for the players, which was as the game company intended, making the dwarves the villains of this event. Players who sided with the dwarves were thus branded as villains too!
"Don't let us find out who you are!"
"I have some influence in the game. That guy is an archer. Although he has no special equipment, his face isn't set to default. Even though there are nearly three billion players on this server, I'll hunt him down and expose him!"
"Yes! I know the city lord of Camelot. I'll inform her about this so she can be on guard. There are people who sympathize with the dwarves and don't help their fellow players!"
The more they talked, the more agitated they became, and the more they tried to display their grandeur.
Of course, they could watch the live broadcast for free, but these VIPs paid to watch, so they had to show off a little.
For the free viewers, who are the majority of the world's population,
the reporter in the studio was an employee of MGC Company and thus had direct information from the GM server of the Asia-Oceania region, reporting the casualties of this war. He gradually reported while switching to live footage from field journalists.
The viewers at home, the ones watching for free, cheered with joy upon seeing this.
Even though they couldn't eliminate the Dwarf King, making him flee was considered a major victory for all players.
Everyone was delighted, especially the players in the City of Chandra.
"That was close..."
"If they had broken into Seven Lakes city, it would have been terrible."
"If they had invaded Chandra City until it fell, we would have had to find another city to live in."
Living for a long time creates habits and attachment unconsciously, which is a characteristic of human nature.
Several days passed. In a café in the city of Grimbu, in the central part of the main continent,
"Melon!" Zhu zhu waved her hand and shouted loudly, making everyone turn to look at Melon-chan.
The girl tried her best to imitate Superman by wearing glasses to transform into Clark Kent, but her mischievous friend exposed her.
Melon-chan looked away, pretending that the other party did not greet her until Zhu zhu eagerly sat down opposite her.
"Hey, I heard you're a millionaire now!"
Melon-chan glanced around and saw that the other customers had lost interest in her. She pouted and said, "30 gold coins is a lot? I withdrew it all and spent it on treating my parents to a meal."
"Not that! Your Sagi, that Sagi, made a huge profit from the auction, didn't he!!" Zhu zhu asked with sparkling eyes. "And now, he got loads of items from the Seven Lakes war too!!"
"What does that have to do with me" Melon-chan said wearily. She propped her chin on her hand and looked away again.
"How can it not be related? The camera caught you two standing on the city wall together!" Zhu zhu playfully nudged Melon-chan with her elbow. "What's his is yours, don't forget"
Melon-chan could only shake her head in boredom. If she hadn't invited her to raid a dungeon, she would have kicked her friend off the chair by now.
The person with a lot of items is getting used to fighting monsters. He last fought a monster five years ago during the war of Seven Lakes City. He didn't participate in the battle; he was busy giving orders.
Now, it's serious!
Sagittarius, in a mid-level mage outfit, is wielding a mid-level staff, targeting a mid-level orc.
"Yaaaahhh!"
Boom!
After exerting himself, the orc was hit by a fireball and fell.
In reality, it wasn't too difficult, but Sagittarius was extremely tense because... there were two individuals not far away.
The two lords were sitting on mats sipping tea and watching him!
Mewku Mewku, it wasn't too bad; she already said she would join the party to level up. But why was Guinevere, 28, here!?
Guinevere's reason was simple: they were both mages without a tank. Guinevere, being a knight, volunteered to be the tank.
.
.
Only fool would believe it!
Sagittarius had sources for gossip about Mina and learned that some guild leader was courting her! So she ran away to hide here. But regardless of the reason...
Both girls stared at him hard, how could Sagittarius not be tense?
Referring to the war several days ago, it not only allowed the five metropolis lords to get their money back and acquire enough Mithril Aerith to create an abundance of weapons, but also profit from selling the excess items. Furthermore, they don't have to worry about the Dwarf King attacking them for revenge.
Not only the Dwarf King, even the players who are metropolis lords themselves do not dare to attack these five metropolis lords. Before that, small-town lords still had a chance to wait for a careless moment to attack any of these five metropolis lords. But after witnessing the technology of the Dwarf race that Sagittarius conquered, sudden attacks using credibility points, and the clip of sinking those two ships became big news on social media. Even though they didn't see Sagittarius's submarine, they did see the torpedoes really hit.
This means that after the Great War of Seven Lakes, all five metropolis lords have these advanced weapons.
Strategic analysts in the real world also wrote detailed articles analyzing and concluded that in the Seven Lakes War, the alliance of the five metropolis lords used encirclement tactics and their larger numbers to overcome those with higher technology.
Looking back at the small-town lords with less power and technology... there's no hope of defeating the five metropolis lords with Dwarf technology at this time.
They can only wait for the new area to open. By then, they will send people to the Dwarf underworld to search for the renowned blueprints and rare ores, to create new items, and attain the same technology as the five metropolis lords.
Only then will they have some hope.
Therefore, after the Seven Lakes war ended, the stability and strength of the five metropolis lords became unrivaled and untouchable.
The planning in Sagittarius's car is considered excellent. It's called hitting two birds with one stone.
On one hand, he wants to level up, and with this event, he did.
On one hand, the group of people eyeing his city intently and wanting to conquer it had to roll up their mats and go home to wait for another chance.
On one hand, the dwarves aiming to attack their five cities had to come up with new plans and didn't dare to attack directly again.
Not to mention that he managed to pull the four city lords into a joint operation using benefits as bait, enhancing the image of cooperation among the five metropolitan city lords.
"In the town of Grimbu, you can rest assured. I run things here," said Guinevere 28. She's the one who recommended this place for Sagittarius to conquer the dungeon.
"Please take care of Gwen-chan," Mewku Mewku said as she sat cross-legged and sipped a hot green tea.
Guinevere 28 took a sip of English tea, raised her large sword, and swung it behind her. An Orc, level 30, charging towards her, met its end easily. Then she said, "According to the game guide, the Skeleton Dungeon in Grimbu Town is another dungeon suitable for those who have just passed level 50 and gotten their secondary job. So I got close to the town's leader. She's not power-hungry, expands the town at her own pace, and is also good at baking cakes. So I took charge to make sure no one bullies her town."
In simple terms, I took this town into the territory that Big Sis Gwen oversees. It's a basic method of mob territory control.
Mewku Mewku tapped on her screen and said, "Without Gwen-chan, I wouldn't be able to enter this area at all." It's natural for mobs not to encroach on each other's turf.
Seeing the Skeleton Dungeon stats, Mewku Mewku added, "It's really interesting. Players of levels 50-60 clear it in just over twenty minutes. Once Sagi-kung gets used to fighting monsters, we'll dive into the dungeon together and surely set a new record!"
"Hehe, having our names on the new dungeon records sounds fun, doesn't it?" Guinevere 28 felt excited to leverage Sagittarius's low level to set a new dungeon clearing time record.
