Chapter 240 Crimson Blood Two Years Later
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Soon, it had been 29 days since the Darkness Invasion in Version 2.0 started. The current situation was that other than the southeastern region of the Legendary continent, all of the other forces had been defeated.
None of the nations, neutral forces, or races could survive in the Darkness Invasion.
Looking at how the situation had developed, not only was the player forum silent, but even the top forces in the nine continents also couldn’t believe what was happening.
When the players visited the official website, they immediately saw the most prominent headline on the (Gods] official site.
It included a list of places affected by the Darkness Invasion.
And until then, hundreds of names on the list had been blacked out. The only places that glowed were from the southeastern regions.
The City of Dawn was at the top of the list, while the Black Lava Dukedom was second. No one occupied the third place. And beside the names of the top two places, the word ‘victory’ was clearly written.
How was this possible?
It wasn’t as if the other nations lost by a small margin. They had almost been wiped out by the Darkness Invasion!
Hence, other than the southeastern region of the Legendary continent that wasn’t controlled by dark creatures, the other names on the list had all fallen prey to the Darkness Invasion. Hundreds of millions of injuries and deaths happened, and the losses were too much to calculate.
But no matter what, by putting up this list, the official website made the Chinese players very proud.
Of course, the Chinese players knew that they didn’t gain any advantage in this Darkness Invasion.
A battle could only be won by the bravest soldiers, and attacking and defending required meticulous planning. Basically, the strongest enemies were dealt with by the NPCs. The City of Dawn had many tricks up their sleeves and trump cards, which was the key to their victory.
Therefore, many posts about the City of Dawn appeared on various forums.
It was because the players seemed to have discovered a problem.
Was it possible that William Blackleaf was not only one of the main protagonists in Version 1.0, but he was also the ultimate protagonist in Version 2.0?
If its contribution in the battle against the Darkness Invasion was to be considered, the City of Dawn was truly worthy of its name!
One could say that if it had not been for the City of Dawn, the Darkness Invasion would have achieved a complete victory.
Furthermore, someone even asked that if the Lord of the City of Dawn didn’t die, would he be the main protagonist in Versions 3.0 and 4.0 too?
There were also people who had other opinions.
Some of them thought that since the Lord of Dawn was considered as a neutral Lord, he wouldn’t be able to grow his power in the mainland continent.
The following versions of the games would surely not take place in the beginner’s village. This main protagonist of Version 1.0 and the last main protagonist of Version 2.0 would probably slowly disappear in front of the players.
He would turn out to be a neutral Lord that gradually became mediocre. He would become a part of the players’ memories and an idol of the past. Then, he would become someone that even players could bully in the future…
There was nothing wrong with this way of thinking, and even the Chinese players didn’t refute much against this opinion.
They hadn’t reached the end stage of the game yet. The Bosses in their own Camp couldn’t be replaced that easily. The earlier the main protagonists appeared in the game, the faster they would die.
After all, players leveled up way faster than NPCs!
It could be said that even if William didn’t die and could live until the end stage of the game, the City of Dawn would still be taken over by the players. It could only be used as a beginner’s village…
The Chinese forum!
“I’ll miss this. Even though there is still some time before Version 3.0 is launched, I feel proud whenever I remember that the City of Dawn is my beginner’s village.”
“Of course. Hurry and collect more Fire Dragon blood. It is extremely important regardless of whether you want to keep it for your own use or exchange it for broken manual pages. As for contribution points or whatnot, that doesn’t matter. Our main aim is to obtain as much of Prince William’s assets as we can.
“Anyway, we probably won’t stay in the City of Dawn in the next version of the game!”
Many players thought this way.
And not only did the professional players and large guilds know this, but even the average players also knew that the Darkness Invasion was just a prelude. It was a super hard mission that all the players had to go through during their novice period.
The City of Dawn was just a springboard that provided them with a lot of advantages. Their next stop would be the central part of the continent. It will be the new place where they would take part in storyline missions, as well as side missions.
As for William?
Sorry, he was just the head of the beginner’s village and could be forgotten easily.
It couldn’t be helped. The players were pragmatic people…
William didn’t feel anything when he saw what the players were doing. After all, other than the Chinese players, players from other continents had also started to come into contact with Grand Duchies.
The smaller nations had been defeated during the Darkness Invasion, so they had been forced to change their Camp.
There were Camps of various scales.
Your Camp was your best friend, followed by your guild, nation, continent, and then the Light or Dark side depending on which side you were on.
Except for the Dark side, there were countless Camps of various scales.
And a lot of in-fighting happened too.
It was rare for anyone to stay in a Camp for a long time and not change to another Camp mid-game.
The one case where the player stayed would be if that Camp had always been very strong and could evolve with the different versions, continuing to participate in Legendary events that affected the entire continent.
For example, the Temple of Light, the Palace of Darkness, the Magic Guild, and the Mercenary Guild.
“The City of Dawn’s current aim is to become a top force like those mentioned earlier. It’s easier said than done, but we’ll take it slowly from here.” William saw that many players on the forum already had thoughts of going to the Emerald Grand Duchy, but he wasn’t too worried.
After all, they were still living in the aftermath of the Darkness Invasion.
The entirety of Version 2.0 was about defending against the Darkness Invasion. The Chinese players were merely getting rid of the dark creatures as William had taken care of the Darkness Invasion Boss. This meant that the Chinese players didn’t have as many follow-up storyline missions…
The City of Dawn players had to complete various side missions now. Nonetheless, the missions that William issued often had remarkable rewards in terms of experience points and gold coins. They made huge profits from those missions, so they didn’t feel compelled to leave the City of Dawn Camp just yet.
On the balcony, Prince William lay lazily on a rocking chair and muttered, “Crimson Blood!”
Crimson Blood was the main title of Version 3.0.
However, it was still a long time till Version 3.0. It would take place 2 years after Version 2.0.
After Version 2.0 ended, the players would log off, and the game would update in the meantime. This game word would be left to develop on its own for 2 years. And after the nine continents regained their power, the players would come online again.
What was ‘Crimson Blood’ though?
In simple words, the Emerald Grand Duchy had a secret that was hidden very well!
The entire Emerald Grand Duchy, and even the aristocrats, soldiers and professionals in the surrounding Grand Duchies were all vampires.
That was right.
Vampires!
They were a bunch of perverted nobles that survived by sucking their slaves’ blood.
They were born in the first era!
They had been created from a god-like Blood Dragon. While outsiders called them vampires, they called themselves the Blood Race. They were the Blood Dragon’s slaves and descendants.
At the end of the first era, the time when the Dragon race left the continent, the Blood Race hid themselves in the Gods’ continent. Even though rumors of vampires often spread, there were rarely any people who saw them in the flesh.
This bunch of immortal people was of high status now. They disguised themselves as aristocrats of the human race. Not only were they strong individually, but the forces they led were also extremely powerful!
For example, the Emerald Grand Duchy. Basically, other than the peasants and slaves, most of the Advanced professionals were all vampires…
“What a tough opponent.” William felt a headache coming on as he thought about the vampires’ abilities.
Vampires possessed impressive skills, such as escaping in bat form and sucking blood to recover their Health. Even if they didn’t suck blood, they had super fast recovery capabilities.
Other than certain Light and Electricity attribute attacks, these guys had no weaknesses.
“It’s still a long time until Version 3.0. I can take my time.” William massaged his temples. Upon thinking about the Blood Dragon, he suddenly remembered that he had a dragon egg with Moses!
“Dammit, he couldn’t possibly have eaten it?” Prince William stood up abruptly and rushed towards the fortune-telling hut.
