Chapter 228: The impending war’s start!

In all kingdoms’ societies, the rumors about the impending attack sprouted. Before nobilities could make moves to ensure the citizens’ safety, the villains spread all negative rumors with indisputable proof.

Those proofs were mainly about noble heads silently sending their women and children to other, safer kingdoms. Those who could fight stood behind, of course. Nonetheless, that simple evidence was enough to start chaos.

The chaos swept through the streets in all three kingdoms, which neighbored The Deathwill Kingdom. No one cared about anyone other than himself and their families, running away from their houses.

Some turned into thieves, some even dared to kill refuging citizens, and others had different plans.

The chaos swallowed all except the hero guilds and royalties, who had been doing their best to appease the situation.

“Their fear toward the hungry demons’ is valid,” Tomo Homie whispered as he stood behind the woman with bright red hair.

On his side, he had Lily, whose nickname was [Dancing Shadow]. Both of them had joined her big sister’s guild, and she was precisely the person standing before them.

Besides her distinguishing blood hair, the girl’s main feature was her expressionless countenance, akin to a poker face. She even named herself after this, as her nickname was [Poker].

They were on one of the many roofs, looking down at the chaos.

Her guild, [Mastermind], was scattered around her, helping people in every possible way. They cured the wounds, helped people leave the city through supernatural strength, and even offered a little money to survive in another kingdom.

The last deed was sponsored by the Berden Kingdom.

Poker parted her lips, “Everyone knows by now how dangerous players can get. The citizens know about players’ suicidal tactics, recklessness, and limitless potential. For their own gain, players are ready to sacrifice their lives.

To win here, the hungry demons will be the same, if not worse.” Her voice utterly lacked emotions, yet Lily could tell that her sister was worried and disgusted by the imminent catastrophe.

In the past, that side pushed her to become one of the heroes.

Poker narrowed her eyes.

And in the next second, the whole sky turned red.

[The Antagonists have started the three kingdoms’ event.]

A dense red mist oozed out of nowhere, swallowing the Berden Kingdom’s capital. Everyone other than hungry demons, including the villains, found it hard to move and see-through.

That fog extended in all directions, eventually swallowing the Berden Kingdom’s lands. The same happened in the other two kingdoms on the hungry demon’s list. Those lands became shrouded in their energies, looking similar to the red ocean Alex had witnessed not too long ago.

[We take your crowns, your lands, and your homes! And we don’t want to see your faces here! Haha! Lv. Recommendation: 50-100]

[The hungry demons have invaded the three kingdoms to snatch all their lands. No one other than their forces can live in those lands! If you don’t want to participate in the event, log out for twenty-four hours.

If you wish to take part in the event, choose your side:

The Antagonist: Help the hungry demons take over the kingdom. They will reward you for your contribution. You can contribute most by killing people or inflicting fear in their hearts.

The players with the highest contribution will directly join their ranks and get the [Epic Class].

The Avander World’s forces: Help the three kingdoms survive their predicament. Save as many people as possible and fend off the hungry demons. Ask your royal friends for the rewards, for we aren’t charity.]

“Is this some kind of trolling?” Tomo Homie asked as he stared at the event’s description.

It became apparent at the end that the hungry demons had initiated the event. Their power was enough to start an event of such a scale. They controlled the system and even promised to give an epic class.

Many people, even those with good hearts, would turn a blind eye to killing innocent to get such a class. Those were rare, yet if a player got his hands on it, he would rise in popularity, changing his life.

Before two ladies answered him, Zhen’s voice rang out, “The hungry demons started the event, so it is in their interest to attract as many players as possible. This world doesn’t lack villains, so there will be fierce competition.

And… It’s in the kingdom’s interest to attract heroes,” he chuckled.

Pedro and Josh were also here.

The usual pessimistic homie whispered, “If they fail, no one will care about their kingdom. Some hero guilds might use an excuse to leave these lands, then return with more forces to take back the capitals.

This would be the shortest way for them to the crown,” he sneered.

Josh and Zhen sighed.

They were here to team up with Tomo Homie and his girlfriend. They all remembered their dungeon run, where their cooperation bloomed. They also joined the [Mastermind] for the guild bonuses and to get allies.

Poker was fine with her little sister leaving her side. This girl often played alone because of her shyness, but now, not only did she get a boyfriend, but she also had more friends around her.

As the big sister, she tried many times to help her. Alas, Lily often refused or even ran away from her as her big sister was too busy and had her own life.

But now, everything seemed fine.

Poker parted her lips as her main party also gathered around her. She used her [Guild Master] privilege to reach every guild member’s ears.

Her voice soon boomed in all [Masterminds], “NPCs are irreplaceable and valuable part of the Avander World. For us, they might be random, but for some players, they might be their whole life, good friends, or lovers.”

Her hair fluttered as Poker’s unique class mana began coursing through her curves. Her body formed something akin to an aura in three colors, making her shine like a star.

She locked her eyes on the highest level of hungry demons, who had appeared one by one in the sky, “In this capital, there’s a nice winery couple that treated me when I was down. For their goodwill and wine, I shall protect this capital.”

[The Guild Master Of Masterminds has chosen The Avander World’s side.]

[If you choose a different side, the guild system automatically kicks you out of the guild.]

[31 guild members have left the guild.]

“Kill them first,” Poker declared.

In less than five minutes, the thirty-one stupid players had lost quite a bountiful future, for this girl would reach great heights with her principles and talent!

And good comrades she would make on her path toward the Avander Word’s peak.

Tomo Homie’s eyes twitched, “That’s a nice resolution, sister-in-law.”

Lily pushed his sleeve, “You should focus on healing residents, Tomo.”

“My bad!” Tomo Homie gave a kind smile, then looked around.

At the same time, Poker’s party went to fight the strongest hungry demons. Other hero guilds also chose without the kingdoms declaring their rewards for the help. Of course, the villains also moved, so everyone wouldn’t be left behind with nothing.

And in a different city, a man with four girls appeared, immediately snatching the attention with his looks, clothes, wives, and status.

[You have teleported to your checkpoint.]

[You have chosen The Avander World’s side.]

[Your husband has chosen The Avander World’s side.]

“No objections.”
