989 Eliminating The Reinforcements (1/2)

The City's map was sold in the City's Library. Even though the price wasn't cheap, the various large guilds couldn't be bothered over such a trivial matter given the current situation that they were in.

Shortly after, all of the guild leaders arrived at the meeting hall in the City Lord's mansion, each with a copy of the city's map in their hands.

The previous time everyone had gathered at this place, the City Lord was still an NPC. They couldn't help but sigh at how things had changed so drastically in such a short period of time.

Of course, none of them came to reminisce about the past.

After all of the guild leaders had gathered, Wang Yu and the others from Quan Zhen Sect made their way over to the meeting hall from the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing that the people from Quan Zhen Sect had arrived, everyone immediately became silent.

”Everyone, take a seat.”

Seeing that nearly all of the key figures in Twilight City had gathered, Wang Yu nodded his head in satisfaction.

After hearing what their Boss said, everyone hurriedly found a spot to settle themselves down.

At this moment, Fearless asked Sanguine Warflag, ”Have you brought the maps?”

”Brought it!” Sanguine Warflag hurriedly took out a City Map from his inventory and handed it over to Fearless.

Twilight City was situated in the Neutral Zone, in between the Light and Dark Faction camps. Cities like Twilight City which were located along the boundaries all had a special characteristic, they were easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was the only advantage that Twilight City had.

After analysing the map for a while, Fearless inserted the map into a magical projector. Shortly after, a huge map of Twilight City was projected on the wall.

At this moment, Fearless asked the various Guild Leaders, ”How many players are we able to mobilise currently?”

”This…” After gathering the numbers for a while, one of the guild leaders replied, ”Less than two hundred thousand.”

”Less than two hundred thousand?” After getting ahold of this information, Fearless couldn't help but frown. To think that for a home city like Twilight City with a population of over 300,000 citizens, after excluding the tens of thousands of players that did not belong to any guilds, only two-thirds of the players remained.

Actually, this was to be expected. All of the large guild guild leaders here all had a few thousand subordinates under their command. The smaller guilds on the other hand still had at least a thousand.

The larger the guild was in the game, the more experts the guild had. All of these players had their own pride and things at stake. Naturally, they would not just stand by and await their deaths. The smaller guilds, however, were different. Most of them did not even have a Guild Headquarters in the city. It was pointless for them to participate in such a hopeless battle.

The players in the virtual world were the most practical people, they would not be willing to sacrifice their blood, sweat and tears when there's nothing in it for them.

When the various guild leaders totalled the number, they felt even more depressed.

Even though 200,000 wasn't a small number, in comparison with the number of players from the Light Faction, such a number was insignificant.

Even with the full strength of 300,000, everybody didn't feel confident. To make things worse, they were even short of a hundred thousand players now.

”Seems like we have no hope of victory this time around.”

”That's right, the difference in strength is just too absurd.”

All of a sudden, some of the large guild guild leaders had an expression of fear plastered on their faces. They started to harbour thoughts of retreating from this battle.

Everyone here had experienced a City War before. However, it was always one city up against another. Being the target of so many other home cities, this was truly a first for everyone here.

At the end of the day, everyone here were just gaming freaks. Regarding how to fight a war in which they had close to no chances of winning, all of them here haven't the slightest idea of how to go about doing it.

The absurd idea of 200,000 players going up against countless enemies was in the head of every one of these guild leaders. They simply did not see a way of how they could emerge victorious in such a situation…
