Chapter 110 Server-wide Announcement, Shaking the Entire Internet
Alan nodded. "I did kill Grelorin, but I was tricked by the people of Stellaria."
“Well, you deserved it. There aren't many good people in Stellaria anyway,” the black-robed leader said coldly.
Alan said, "I'm not here to talk about that. You wanted to rescue Grelorin before, but it wasn't for some so-called faith, was it?"
The black-robed leader's demeanor subtly changed. "You're not very smart. Whether it was or wasn't, saying that won't make me happy."
"Someone like you wouldn't be swayed by a few words. If that's the case, then I must have found the wrong person."
Hearing this, the black-robed leader asked, "So, what are you here for?"
"I'm going to attack Central City. My initial target is Lindataria."
Alan's calm voice left the black-robed leader in disbelief.
"You're not just stupid, you're a madman," the black-robed leader said with a hint of mockery. "Even we Night Stalkers don't dare to attack Central City. What makes you think you can?"
Alan smiled noncommittally and said, "Whether you believe me or not is your business, but I will attack Central City. That's certain."
"I'm just here to inform you," Alan added.
"Do you need our Night Stalkers' help?"
"No." Alan shook his head. "Whether you help me or not, I will attack Central City. I'm telling you this just to give you an opportunity."
"Give us an opportunity? Adventurer, is it your stupidity that makes you so arrogant?"
As he finished speaking, the black-robed leader's body turned into black smoke. When he reappeared behind Alan, he struck Alan with his palm.
[-31,080.]
A huge damage number appeared, with the black-robed man's normal attack taking over 30,000 of Alan's HP.
It was quite a lot.
But the black-robed man was shocked.
Because he found that Alan's HP had only decreased by a barely noticeable amount.
Less than one percent.
Not only that, but numbers indicating HP recovery began to appear above Alan's head.
[+6,216.]
[+10,000.]
[+1,000.]
[+2,000.]
The first was the Bloodthirsty Dragon Armor's recovery, the second was the Goddess of Life's Tear's recovery, the third was the skill Resurgence's recovery, and the fourth was the Ninefold Longbow's recovery.
In just one second, Alan had recovered nearly 20,000 HP.
"Interesting," the black-robed leader said with keen interest. "An adventurer as powerful as you at this stage is quite impressive."
"So, what do you want us to do?" the black-robed leader asked again.
"I need equipment evolution scrolls and the Blessing of the Gods." Alan straightforwardly stated his request.
The black-robed leader nodded. "I have those things, and I can give them to you, but there's one condition."
"Speak," Alan said.
"You must capture Lindataria," the black-robed leader said.
Alan's lips curled into a smile. He had achieved his core objective in coming to the Devil's Den.
Next, he would focus on attacking Lindataria.
With that in mind, Alan immediately used ten global announcements.
[Global announcement: I, Ice King, am about to attack Lindataria. Lindataria players, please evacuate within 30 minutes, or face the consequences.]
[Global announcement: I, Ice King, am about to attack Lindataria. Lindataria players, please evacuate within 30 minutes, or face the consequences.]
Alan wasn't afraid of Stellaria finding out and taking precautions.
Because it didn't matter.
Previously, he worried about being imprisoned, but now he could choose to respawn on the spot or in the newbie village.
So, he wasn't afraid of confronting Stellaria.
But Alan's global announcement shook all the players in Stellaria.
"Did I just hear that? Ice King is going to attack Lindataria. Is he crazy or am I?"
"This must be an auditory hallucination. A player attacking Central City is suicide!"
"This will be interesting. Ice King wouldn't do this for no reason. He's challenging the gods!"
In the group chat Alan created, messages began to pop up like crazy.
Blade Warrior: [?]
Virgil Newman: [?]
Dreamfrost: [?!]
Gerald Paker: [Ice King, are you really going to confront Central City head-on? That's pretty crazy.]
Virgil Newman: [I've already ordered all Hades Guild members to evacuate. Waiting for further instructions.]
Alan glanced at the group chat and replied calmly.
Alan: [Evacuate as soon as possible.]
Blade Warrior: [Got it.]
Dreamfrost: [Got it.]
Gerald Paker: [Got it.]
It wasn't just them.
The forums of Ragnarok were buzzing.
Countless players began to discuss whether Ice King would really attack Lindataria.
Their conclusion was unanimous.
Ice King didn't need to use such a lowly method to gain attention.
So, Ice King was really planning to attack Lindataria.
[Shocking! After failing to flirt with the princess, Ice King now plans to do something indecent to the Lord of Lindataria!]
[Ice King attacking Lindataria, what do you think?]
Various posts began to dominate the trending topics.
It wasn't just limited to the game anymore. Major forums, browsers, and short video platforms were all featuring videos about Ice King attacking Lindataria.
In just twenty minutes, these messages had exploded across the internet, and everyone was eagerly anticipating Ice King's attack on Lindataria.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, a player daring to challenge Central City was extremely rare.
One person against one city!
That kind of courage shocked many.
Alan's plan to attack Lindataria not only astonished the players.
Lindataria, City Hall.
City Lord Frank Patterson slammed his hand on the table in anger upon hearing the global announcement.
"This Ice King is really out of control. Does he think he can attack my Lindataria with just one sentence? What does he take Lindataria for?" Frank said angrily.
In front of Frank stood an elderly man, frail and withered.
He trembled as he spoke, "City Lord, he's just a clown. No need to get angry."
Frank frowned slightly. "A clown? I don't think so!"
Frank continued, "Though I don't know what happened between him and Princess Ashley, the fact that he killed nine of our Silver Generals is true."
"We must not underestimate him. This is a crucial time for the throne's succession. We can't afford any mistakes," Frank added.
The elderly man nodded respectfully. "Yes, my lord. I understand."
Starcity, Marshal's Residence.
Marshal Zachary was initially taken aback by the global announcement but then smiled.
"Lorenr, it seems our opportunity has arrived," he said.
