Chapter 114 The Game Between Each Other
The entire internet was shocked, and Stellaria itself was not calm either.
Although Lindataria was not taken down this time, the losses were significant.
The combined deaths of the city guards and fighters were nearing a thousand.
This was not a state of war; a Central City like Lindataria only had about five to six thousand troops.
But in less than fifteen minutes of fighting with Alan, they lost a thousand.
Lindataria, City Lord's Mansion.
Frank, with a grim expression, said to the elder behind him, "Did you notify them? When will they send reinforcements?"
The elder behind Frank shook his head. "City Lord, the message was sent, but we haven't received a reply yet."
"This is an urgent matter, and they haven't replied. Don't they know that keeping the city protection array active consumes energy crystals?" Frank roared through gritted teeth, then took out a communication talisman, "I'll report our situation to the Chancellor myself."
Frank activated the communication talisman, and after a while, an impatient voice came from the other end.
"Frank, you have some nerve to disturb the Chancellor's rest!"
Frank said, "Karl, I didn't want to either, but the situation is too dire, and I have no other choice."
"The Ice King has already retreated. It's just an adventurer; it shouldn't be this serious. Handle it yourself. The Chancellor has high hopes for you and trusts you completely. He believes you can deal with the insignificant adventurer, the Ice King," Karl said. "Good luck, Frank!"
With the last words, the communication talisman was cut off.
Looking at the disconnected talisman, Frank's hands trembled with anger.
"An insignificant adventurer?"
He was almost laughing out of anger.
'What do you mean by an insignificant adventurer?'
Everyone witnessed the Ice King's combat power.
One person fighting an entire city, forcing them to use the city protection array.
That was not an insignificant adventurer.
That was an invincible existence.
"City Lord, I have some good news," the elder said.
Frank immediately became interested and asked, "What good news?"
"We put a bounty on the Ice King, and someone completed it, killing the Ice King ten times."
Frank frowned and said, "That's not good news. Use your brain."
He then added, "It's obvious that the Ice King deliberately had his friends kill him, and the rewards went to his friends."
Frank's breathing became heavy.
He really felt like he was going to die of anger today.
The elder shook his head and said, "City Lord, this is good news."
Frank looked at the elder strangely. "Good news? Explain why this is good news."
The elder smiled mysteriously and said, "City Lord, we can now deactivate the city protection array. As long as someone completes the bounty within an hour, we can issue a new bounty. The black iron set doesn't matter; we have plenty. We can give fewer free attribute points, keeping each bounty under a hundred points."
"What do you mean?" Frank was a bit confused.
"It's simple. With continuous bounties, the Ice King won't easily attack us. Instead, the ones who will be anxious are the King and his people."
"Why?" Frank didn't quite understand the reasoning but felt there was something wrong, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"What is the fundamental reason for the Ice King attacking Lindataria? The King's ban. So, the essence of his attack on Lindataria is to target the King," the elder explained.
"By continuously issuing bounties, we're essentially giving the Ice King and his friends free attribute points and equipment," he continued. "With free attribute points and equipment, the Ice King and his friends will become stronger. Once they're strong enough, they might not attack Lindataria anymore. Instead, they might go after Starcity."
Hearing the elder's analysis, Frank felt a chill down his spine. What a ruthless plot!
"But what if the Ice King attacks us again?" Frank asked.
The elder grinned. "It's simple. Offer up the equipment evolution scrolls as a reward. You still have two master-level talent awakening stones in your possession, right? Gold-level main weapons, necklaces, and rings, put all these up as rewards!"
"What?" Frank was shocked. "That would be planting a hidden danger for ourselves! And what if the Ice King only covets the equipment we have?"
The elder laughed. "That's why I said if the Ice King attacks again, put all the good stuff up for bounty."
The elder continued, "The Ice King is clearly a smart person to have achieved what he has today. He will naturally understand the reasoning."
"If that's the case, he will likely start plundering treasures, attacking other Central Cities, and growing stronger until he threatens Starcity." Frank nodded heavily, his eyes becoming sinister.
"The King created this mess and doesn't want to solve it. In that case, let's throw the problem back at him."
Seeing Frank agree, a conspiratorial smile flashed in the elder's eyes.
[City-wide announcement: Due to the malicious attack on Lindataria by the player Ice King, causing significant damage to Lindataria, Lindataria is now issuing a bounty to kill the Ice King.]
The city-wide announcement rang out. Although there were no players in Lindataria now, players near Lindataria could receive the bounty.
Because the division of a Central City included not just the city but also the surrounding wilderness areas, which belonged to Lindataria.
It was similar to a county in the real world; it's not just the main urban area but also the nearby suburbs and rural areas that belong to the city.
The appearance of this bounty made many people feel something was off.
[Bounty mission: Kill the Ice King.]
[Mission requirement: Kill the Ice King twice.]
[Mission penalty: None.]
[Mission reward: 50 free attribute points for each kill, one level 25 black iron set.]
Compared to the previous bounty, the kill count was lower, the free attribute points were lower, but the equipment was better.
A level 25 black iron set was needed even by top players at this stage.
However, despite seeing the bounty, few were truly tempted.
After all, Alan's combat power was well-known.
One person fighting an entire city.
These players had some self-awareness.
Nightfall Union.
Lone Wanderer looked at the bounty mission, his gaze sweeping over a man and a woman beside him.
"What do you think, how confident are we in killing the Ice King?" he asked.
