T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 453, Section 452: Halftime
The high-level mages who were surrounding and killing the prison guards sensed the magical fluctuations within the central military tent and turned around in unison.

"Commander!"

Sensing impending doom, the group of loyal monks rushed back without hesitation, exposing their vulnerable backs completely to the jailer and Wei Shen.

However, the two highly decorated necromancers had no intention of pursuing them at this time.

Run!

He faced nearly 20 mages of level 7 or above in one go, powerful figures whose level was at least 35.

The jailer used every trick in the book, relying on the Origin Element - Water, and repeatedly maneuvering with the skillful use of [Echo of the Vengeful Spirit] in the large-scale battlefield environment.

The brain's CPU was practically smoking, which is how it managed to survive the relentless bombardment.

Just then, Jiang Heyi's message arrived.

"Withdraw from the battlefield!"

The moment the Crimson Music Box assassination succeeded, the players, each with their assigned roles, understood Jiang Heyi's scheme.

Damn it, no wonder it's called a potato!
In real life, potatoes are a good thing, and cyber potatoes are a fucking good thing too!

The jailer pulled the exhausted Wei Shen onto a horse, only to fall headfirst.

Wei Shen was taken aback: "Master, you can't ride a horse?"

In the chaotic fight just now, his life was completely saved by the prison guard.

They were all Necromancer players, and watching that pleasing gameplay, Wei Shen automatically evolved into a fanboy.

He quickly helped the prison guard up, tightened the reins, and spurred his horse to gallop.

Only then did the jailer speak.

"I only watch horses and ride them."

Wei Shen was increasingly astonished.

"Such unique tastes! Isn't watching live sex shows better than watching or riding horses?"

Remembering that this guy came from the Land of Three Domes, the jailer finally came to his senses.

It seems everyone is just playing the wrong tune.

The battlefield was chaotic, lighting was limited, the command system had collapsed, and Peria's soldiers were in a state of extreme paranoia.

Upon stepping on a slippery, unusual object, he immediately raised his gun and stabbed the ground without hesitation.

The archers caught in the zombie explosion raised their hands and fired in rapid succession, turning their comrades into sieves.

Every now and then, you could hear the Peria people shouting "Death to evil spirits!"

However, the two necromancers did not send any undead creations over there at all.

They were just casually causing a few corpse explosions to liven things up during their escape.

Wherever the necromancer's hand reached, the fear of the Peria people spread.

Ah, that's it!
The jailer and Wei Shen sat on horseback, bathed in the night wind, speeding along, their souls and bodies reaching a climax amidst the wailing all around.

Absolutely right, absolutely right!
This is the necromancer they wanted to play.

Limited by the game's format, the frustration of not being able to form an army single-handedly is all transformed into a prelude to a triumphant release at this moment.

In a regular dungeon setting, if you call me a necromancer, I won't argue with you.

On this grand battlefield, please show some respect and call me the Necromancer Lord!

Weaving through the chaos of the soldiers, the jailer, eager to escape, squinted and used his hand as a telescope.

"Hey, slow down! Where are you going?"

Wei Shen was a skilled horseman; he reined in his horse and turned it around.

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, three burly men, panting and staggering like weary old donkeys, fled across the blood-soaked, rotten ground.

The jailer was dumbfounded.

Khorne was facing a monster 10 times his size with a Legion-level blessing, yet 3 of his people still survived.
"Depend on!"

He hurriedly deployed the shield of the Origin Element - Water.

The ready-to-eat can was slashed with a single stroke, the blade's energy flowing like a ribbon, dragging a spray of blood that crashed against the water curtain.

The terrifying impact caused the warhorses beneath the two men to collapse, bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Ok?"

The three "blood-covered men" were all taken aback.

Are Peria's cavalry so monstrous that they could withstand this blow?

After glancing at the panel, the murderous intent in the eyes of the three men immediately turned into panic.

"Brother jailer, are you alright?"

They quickly helped the prison guard, who had fallen and was covered in mud, to his feet.

"Sorry, it's a bit..."

The jailer grumbled, "I understand, they're blinded by rage."

To lighten the load, Khorne discarded all the "trophies" around his waist.

Unable to find any cavalry to offer assistance, the five men had no choice but to huddle together and walk.

The lingering chaos of the battlefield allowed them to safely avoid the large number of mages floating overhead.

They were among the last to return to Green Embroidery City.

The team of 35 people has been reduced by 13.

None of the elemental mages, whom we were most worried about when we opened the can, were injured or killed.

Players drawn from various teams bravely fought to protect the mage, risking their lives to withstand the surprise attack from Peria's elite forces.

It is said that the Iron Wall of Jiangdong, the comical tree, carried off five level 35 monsters for a full minute before it died.

Captain Jegan from the same guild single-handedly held off at least six people. There wasn't time to check the panel data, but he was definitely a high-level mage.

As the four primal beings retreated, they discovered that the sounds of battle were being blocked by an unknown spell.

Others may not know the skill level of those magicians who were using sound concealment, but Jiang Heyi does.

Nine people, yet they acted like a single unit.

During battle, they cooperate and cover each other, launching continuous attacks that ordinary mages can't even raise their hands or chant.

He and the fries had a better teamwork and tacit understanding, and he also had an equipment advantage, making it difficult for them to handle.

Captain Jiegang was able to stop six such ruthless people.

The person behind the comical tree really lives up to their ID.

When Li Furan saw Wei Shen, he looked surprised, but then went up and hugged him—even though Wei Shen was covered in blood and looked like a wild dog rolling in the mud.

He knew very well that the strength of the Star Gazing Sect was inferior to that of the others, so he gave everyone a strict order.

To risk one's life.

Compared to other teams, he felt somewhat guilty, as if he had made no contribution.

Jiang Heyi was pleased to hear his opinion.

There are plenty of idiots in this world who can't even win by doing nothing.

They fail to recognize their own strength and are always thinking about showing off and manipulating others.

In terms of self-awareness, Li Furan and his Star Gazing Sect are far superior to these common game "geniuses".

Moreover, who says the Star Gazing Sect made no contributions?

Wu Sitong's bard used "High-Level Prayer Song" to block a direct attack from a square formation that nearly wiped out the entire party.

This is a skill that a bard can only unleash at the cost of using all their magic and stamina, and sealing their own skills for 20 seconds after use.

The effect is to nullify one instance of non-instant death damage.

The seemingly weak Star Gazing Sect actually has a support character who has advanced their skills to a high level.

He is also the only person in the Star Gazing Sect with advanced skills, which is surprising.

Scarlet Music Box was in high spirits after successfully delivering the final blow. She had a feeling that there would be many exciting clips about herself tomorrow.

This requires intensive self-searching.

but……

"The game isn't over yet, so we haven't won?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in bed muttered angrily.

"I was too slow to realize it. It was only after I ran away that I remembered I should have stabbed those rhinoceros beasts a couple of times. If those big guys went berserk, they could have killed a lot of people."

After washing my face and returning to normal, I opened the can of ready-to-eat food and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The condition for passing the level is to prevent the city-state from falling and being completely occupied by the enemy."

"The fact that it's not over means that the Peria people still have the ability to conquer it."

The game must go on.

"Speaking of which, what about mint?"

As an aid brought down by the "divine power" of the orange tea, she disappeared after the war began.

Jiang Heyi said, "She has special work to do, so you don't need to worry about her."

They were itching to try it, but after this great victory, everyone was convinced of Jiang Heyi's arrangements, so they didn't ask any further questions.

While a fierce battle raged outside the city, the city itself was also abuzz with activity.

The residents of Green Embroidery City began to flee with their families.

People who were originally too old to walk, with the help of relatives and friends, fled in fear with their valuables.

Some powerful clans within the city didn't even wait for the players to cause trouble before they started moving valuable items and collecting their books, and then leaving the city.

Just kidding, only a fool wouldn't run away.

The city originally taken over by Peria was probably just meant to be treated like a slave.

After being attacked by the players, the city will fall, and the Peria people will retaliate, resulting in a bloodbath!
On the contrary, Jonah and his soldiers, who were already determined to die, were even more determined to follow the player after seeing the results of the battle. They were willing to die to take a piece of Peria's flesh.

They weren't interested in ordinary people's belongings, but the magician actually wanted to take away magical items?

"No, why are you stealing our things?"

One sentence from the prison guard kicked off the battle royale mode.

Gather all the valuable magical items from these families.

As for how to use it...

Mint, who had disappeared during the great battle, finally reappeared. She was nowhere to be found and was covered in dirt.

"Come, come, here are some lists. Help me sort through the spoils and categorize them proportionally."

I took the can of ready-to-eat food and glanced at it.

The list includes herbs, magical materials, and crystals.

As if worried that the children were too slow, Mint thoughtfully drew pictures for everything so that they could easily find the answers by following the pictures.

They just shove food into the player's mouth with a rice spoon; that's all there is to it.

"What... what's the use of all this?" Nagou Nongtang scratched his head. "It can't be used to make soup, can it?"

He noticed that Mint had been staring at him for a long time, so he quickly looked her up and down.

There's nothing wrong. What's Mint looking at?

The next second, Mint seemed to lose interest and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he also received a large cauldron for alchemy from the "thirty-year-old full-time grand mage" of Orange Sky.

It was obtained by the people of Orange Sky when they raided the magician's mansion.

When they finished their work and looked back, they saw a mint-like figure appear in the mansion, leaving everyone baffled as to where it had come from.

There's no reason not to give it to "Mom" when she asks for it.

Naguru Soup suddenly realized why Mint was looking at him.

She set her sights on her weapon!
It looks like a shield for a pot.

It probably realized that it couldn't really be used as a pot, which is why it turned away without any hesitation.

For some reason, Mint's perspective was locked, and even the spectators didn't know where she went.

In any case, everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds seemed confident and at ease about Mint's antics.

Under normal circumstances, they should have taken advantage of the Pérez's crushing defeat and launched a surprise attack in the dead of night to secure victory.

After a major battle, everyone was exhausted and simply did not have the ability to start another game.

Some players were snoring loudly while eating; if it weren't for the delicious food that Squid Bro made, their souls would probably have already drifted into their dreams.

Jiang Heyi and the fries were in slightly better condition, but they were also yawning repeatedly.

They sat by the wall, watching over everyone sleeping haphazardly below.

"Mint told us not to sleep yet, I don't know what she's up to."

As he spoke, the fries yawned.

She thought of something and tilted her head to the side.

He had intended to lean on her shoulder, but Jiang Heyi happened to stretch, and Fries fell headfirst into his arms.

"Uh……"

Jiang Heyi shuddered and whispered a reminder.

"There are many people watching the game."

French Fries blushed and muttered something under his breath.

"Just watch!"

Among the suddenly excited group of players, two people were grinning from ear to ear.

"Xiaofei is really dishonest. She's been grumbling about how we're so lovey-dovey all these years, but she does the same thing when it comes to herself."

"I have to give her a good dressing down when I get home for Chinese New Year. I'm going to cut this part out and project it onto the screen for her to see during our New Year's Eve dinner!"

Some people's parents are really awful.
"Ping ping ping ping~~"

In the quiet of the late night, the sound of glass bottles clattering carried exceptionally far.

The two people, who were stuck together, blinked and looked in the direction of the sound.

Mint pushed a vehicle that looked like a wagon, bringing a large pile of dark medicine bottles.

"Get up, get up, get up~~~"

Mint shoved and kicked, waking up all the snoring players.

"Mom...stop making a fuss."

Someone actually shouted it out subconsciously.

It's the narrow-minded male ghost from the Orange Sky Strategy Team.

Okay, tomorrow the video of him calling for his mom will be circulating on the community and websites.

"It can restore your energy, eliminate fatigue, and cure drowsiness."

"As long as you use healing magic to restore muscle damage, you can stay energetic."

The others had never tasted Mint's masterpiece; they had only heard from the community that she was a counterfeit potion dealer, and all their attention immediately turned to Jiang Heyi.

"Drink it. If she says it works, then it works."

Some did not hesitate at all.

Without hesitation, Li Furan unscrewed the bottle stopper and gulped it down.

The pungent aroma hit his head, and the new leader of the Star Gazing Sect was so burned that he spat out his tongue and tears streamed down his face.

Before he could even complain, a cool sensation spread down his esophagus, and the refreshing fruity aroma filled his mouth.

Seeing his blissful expression, everyone else tried it too.

The spectators watched as the exhausted player, after drinking the drink, was fully revitalized, refreshed, and could no longer hold back.

Wow, the boundary between reality and illusion, you guys eat so well every day, huh!

"I'm telling you, with Mint's help, your plot can advance so rapidly, wouldn't it be twice as effective with half the effort!"

He licked his lips, still wanting more after opening the can and eating it immediately.

"Can I have another bottle? I drank it too fast and didn't savor it properly."

"Call mom."

"..."

Looking at the potion in Mint's hand, Kaiguanji really wanted to say that in real life he was a tall, mature, and steady man, over 1.8 meters tall, and would never say such a thing.

"mom……"

"Not bad, not bad, take it."

Oh well, let it be a laugh, it's just a game.

And it tastes really good.

The user "Nurgle Soup" warned: "You'll be made into video clips that are repeatedly edited and parodied."

"I got it for you, so shut up!"

"You want to order canned goods, but you're using the excuse of 'it's for our own good.' How coy."

"..."

Jiang Heyi sighed, "What a pity. If we could have gotten it out a little earlier, we could have tried a night raid."

Mint shrugged: "It's mine, it's mine, but I've tried my best. There's no one here to help me process the materials. If Renee were here, that would be great."

It seems that while everyone was busy with Tower World, these two had already developed a great rapport.

Li Furan approached Jiang Heyi's side, but before he could even bow, he was stopped by the quick-thinking crowd.

Their backs were almost bent over.

"Everyone, this is..."

"Fellow Daoist Li Furan, from now on, just say what you want to say, no need for formalities, okay?"

"It seems that truly accomplished people are not bound by formalities; that's fine."

He apologized, saying, "The time for this round of the game for the Star Gazing Sect has come to an end."

It was just getting light, and there was about an hour and a half before Jiang Heyi and the others logged off.

He calculated the time difference between the two parties and asked.

Do you know when the goods in the Windpod City shops refresh?

"know."

"Can you launch an hour and a half earlier than the refresh time?"

Li Furan and those around him were somewhat confused, wondering why he was giving such roundabout instructions.

He blinked, thinking that a master would act like a master, and quickly agreed.

They summoned Yuru, paused the game, and sealed their progress. Everyone waved goodbye to their comrades from another world.

"Phew, they're a strange bunch, but they seem like a pretty reliable group," said the Crimson Music Box. "I wonder where they're from in real life? How about we grab a bite to eat sometime?"

That means the money for that meal will probably never be spent.

Peria chose to remain inactive throughout the night, demonstrating the heavy losses suffered in the battle at sunset.

The scales of victory have tipped in favor of the players.

"We should be able to determine the winner when it goes online tomorrow," Jiang Heyi thought.
