The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 114 Mad Red Moon Mountain

Chiyue Mountain.

As the sun rose, the morning breeze carried a slight chill, but the players guarding the gate on Red Moon Mountain and the wanderers who had come early to set up their stalls were all restless, staring at the steel bridge that was the only entrance and exit, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Before the steel bridge stood a large, fully armed apes. These apes were generally over 2.3 meters tall, wearing A4-level or higher protective gear and carrying various A5-level or higher weapons. They formed a dark, imposing mass, resembling a sea of ​​steel.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people from the Big Ape Gang?"

"There must be at least a thousand of them. Are they planning to attack Red Moon Mountain?"

"I previously thought it was just a rumor that the Obsidian Martial Arts School sent experts to raid the Great Ape Gang's headquarters at night. Now that so many people from the Great Ape Gang have arrived, it seems that the news must be true."

"Even if the Great Ape Gang wants to retaliate against the Obsidian Martial Arts School, this is too exaggerated. Just how big is the grudge that they would send an army of over a thousand people? Let alone wiping out Crimson Moon Mountain, it would probably be enough to wipe out any other gangs ranked around 20th."

"What should we do if the Great Ape Gang attacks? Won't they wipe us out too?"

The vagrants gathered at the foot of Red Moon Mountain soon discovered the Great Ape Gang flag erected by the ape clan, and immediately began to discuss it, some with fear and others with anxiety.

Wilderness gang battles are nothing new to the nomads who spend years in the wilderness; in fact, they're quite accustomed to them.

But the sheer scale of the Great Ape Gang's formation today truly startled everyone.

Even the most mortal enemies among the wild gangs would only have a few hundred people in a major battle in the wild. But now the Great Ape Gang has sent out over a thousand people, enough to attack a small town in the wild.

Even though the number of vagrants gathered at Red Moon Mountain exceeded three thousand, far surpassing the number of the Great Ape Gang, the vagrants still felt extremely panicked in the face of the fully armed Great Ape Gang, fearing that the Great Ape Gang would attack right now.

Just as the nomads on Red Moon Mountain were filled with fear, a giant ape from the Great Ape Gang, nearly three meters tall with reddish-brown hair and wearing A6-level armor, stepped out.

"Listen up, everyone on the mountain, I'm only saying this once."

"I am Qi Ke, the vice leader of the Great Ape Gang. Our target is only the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Anyone unrelated to us can have half an hour to leave Red Moon Mountain. Anyone still on Red Moon Mountain after half an hour will die!"

The deputy leader, Qi Ke, had a booming voice that, amplified by his A6-level armor, carried for two to three kilometers. The impact of the sound waves even caused the leaves on the leaves at the foot of Crimson Moon Mountain to tremble.

"Such powerful blood energy! This gang leader, Qi Ke, is probably not the extreme apprentice that outsiders say he is, but a near-extreme martial artist. He is probably only half a step away from becoming a martial artist." At the foot of Red Moon Mountain, Flo looked at Qi Ke, who was 300 meters away, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Should we go with these vagrants?" Fischer pointed to the group of vagrants who were already packing their belongings and whispered, "If we leave now, given the Great Ape Gang's style, they probably won't do anything to us. But if we stay in Crimson Moon Mountain, the Great Ape Gang might really wipe us out too."

"The Great Ape Gang's leader and three vice leaders have all arrived, and even the rumored elders of the Great Ape Gang have come. It seems that the Great Ape Gang really intends to completely destroy the Obsidian Martial Arts School." Flo looked at the nearly twenty masked apes beside Gang Leader Watu and said helplessly, "But if I give up and leave now, it will probably be difficult to get closer to the Obsidian Martial Arts School in the future, not to mention the huge profits that Crimson Moon Mountain will bring in the future."

"Why don't you leave? Pap and I will stay with our men. It'll be goodwill for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy." Fischer looked at the hesitant Flo and said with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Even if Crimson Moon Mountain is not defended, you can still maintain a good relationship with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy."

"What are you doing? Are you planning to sacrifice yourself for me?" Flo looked at Fischer, who had made up his mind, and his face darkened. "I've said it before, I chose you two to follow me because I considered you friends, but I never intended to train you as suicide soldiers."

"But we have no choice now," Fischer said helplessly. "If we want to go further in the future, we have no choice but to latch onto the coattails of the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Otherwise, with the foundation of the Azure Sparrow Gang alone, we have no future at all."

"But if we leave without saying anything, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy will definitely be dissatisfied. After all, our Azure Sparrow Gang also owns a share of the energy ore. If we want to satisfy the people of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, we can only send some influential people to fight. Only Elders Pap and I are qualified."

Pap, the silent winged man standing to the side, also nodded, clearly agreeing with what Fischer said.

"Fine, the worst that can happen is death!" Flo gritted his teeth and looked at Fischer and Pap, instructing them, "The Obsidian Martial Arts School must have some resources, otherwise they wouldn't have attacked the Great Ape Gang. Plus, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the Obsidian Martial Arts School can hold those mountain passes, we can use ranged attacks to wear down the Great Ape Gang. You two hurry up and take some men to get arrows. This will definitely be a tough battle. Prepare plenty of arrows, at least thirty per person. If you don't have enough, buy some from those vagrants."

"good!"

Seeing that Flo had made up his mind, Fischer and Papp did not try to dissuade him any further. They then led their forty-odd men and quickly set off.

This defensive battle certainly seemed like a battle they were destined to lose, but it wasn't without a chance of winning.

It's true that the Great Ape Gang has a large and powerful force, but if the Great Ape Gang suffers too many losses, they will definitely give up attacking Red Moon Mountain. After all, there are many mortal enemies among the wild gangs, and the most basic purpose of establishing a gang is to survive.

Gangs that would fight to the death with their enemies just to save face, even to the point of mutual destruction, would have been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, they only need to fight until the Great Ape Gang can no longer withstand the attack, and then the Great Ape Gang will naturally retreat.

Just as Flo was instructing his men to guard Crimson Moon Mountain, Lin Qi, who had just emerged from the mine, also witnessed this scene. His opinion of Flo and the others changed considerably. In this day and age, people willing to risk their lives for the "Alliance" in the wild are extremely rare.

"Vice Leader Flo, are you planning to stay?" Lin Qi asked with a smile as he looked at Flo, who was organizing the defense.

"Yes, Crimson Moon Mountain is excellent; it would be a shame to give it up now." Flo nodded, then looked at Lin Qi with a wry smile. "But Master Lin, this time when the Great Ape Gang attacked, I've staked my entire life on you. Can you give me a piece of the truth? Can Crimson Moon Mountain be defended?"

Looking at Flo's earnest and expectant expression, Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any problem."

He was absolutely confident in defending Crimson Moon Mountain, after all, the strength of players was now vastly different from before. Back then, nineteen apprentices of advanced level or above were able to wreak havoc on the Great Ape Gang's headquarters.

There are currently 60 advanced apprentices stationed at Crimson Moon Mountain, in addition to 30 intermediate apprentices. If it weren't for the fact that a new batch of players could only be summoned today, the number of players stationed at Crimson Moon Mountain could reach 110.

However, 90 players is not a small number these days.

With the respawn points in the mine, the current 90 players only need to survive the attacks of the Great Ape Gang until other dead players respawn.

Back then, nineteen people were able to hold out for thirty minutes at the Great Ape Gang's headquarters. Now that there are more people and favorable terrain, there's no reason why they can't hold out for thirty minutes.

"Good! With Master Lin's words, I can rest assured." Upon hearing this, Flo couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Just as Lin Qi and Flo were chatting for a short while, a commotion suddenly broke out on the bridge below the mountain. The vagrants who had been leaving Red Moon Mountain were now making way for one large transport truck after another, as if they were on a royal pilgrimage. The vagrants on both sides kept their heads down, not daring to look at the passing large transport trucks.

Some lively homeless children, watching the large transport trucks pass by, originally wanted to point and ask their parents what the flags on those trucks were, but their parents pressed their heads down and quickly pulled them aside, as if afraid of provoking some terrible being.

"The Phosphorus Fire Gang!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Why are the Phosphorus Fire Gang members here?!"

"Could it be that the Phosphorus Fire Gang is also interested in Crimson Moon Mountain?"

Some homeless people who had long since left the bridge watched the large transport trucks heading towards the foot of Chiyue Mountain and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Almost every vagrant who has been to the City of Light knows about the Phosphorus Fire Gang, a major gang in the suburbs. It ranks among the top fifteen gangs in the suburbs. Especially now that the Half-Scale Clan has produced several genius martial artists, the Half-Scale Clan's status in the City of Light has risen significantly. After a round of expansion, the Phosphorus Fire Gang can now rank among the top ten gangs in the suburbs.

These suburban gangs are absolutely not to be trifled with, whether they are homeless people living in the wild or gangs in the wilderness.

"The Phosphorus Fire Gang actually sent people in person?" Flo stared at the four large transport trucks approaching, especially at the Phosphorus Fire Gang's burning stone flags flying on them. His expression was one of overwhelming excitement. "I really made the right bet! The right bet!"

Although Flo had great confidence in his judgment and believed that Obsidian Martial Arts School and Phosphor Fire Gang had a close relationship, he was not 100% sure.

However, now that the Phosphorus Fire Gang has arrived in person, it can be confirmed with 100% certainty that the Obsidian Martial Arts School was established by the Phosphorus Fire Gang.

Even Flo understood why the Obsidian Martial Arts School was not afraid of the Great Ape Gang and launched a night raid on the Great Ape Gang's headquarters. With the Phosphorus Fire Gang, a large suburban gang, backing them up, they naturally did not take the Great Ape Gang seriously.

Four large transport vehicles belonging to the Phosphorus Fire Gang passed directly through the checkpoint set up by the Great Ape Gang. No one from the Great Ape Gang dared to stop them. They simply watched as the four large transport vehicles stopped unceremoniously at the foot of Crimson Moon Mountain, blocking the Great Ape Gang's path.

"The Phosphorus Fire Gang is here. What are they up to?"

Before a deep question could be resolved, the members of the Great Ape Gang heard the sound of a pneumatic door opening.

The four large transport vehicles that had stopped opened their rear compartments, and one after another, groups of half-scaled race members wearing A6-level protective gear and carrying A6-level weapons stepped off the vehicles.

These half-scaled people were all at least advanced apprentice level. A total of two hundred people disembarked from the four large transport vehicles. Each half-scaled squad leader, consisting of ten people, wore A6-level armor, carried B2-level weapons, and exuded a strong aura of blood, clearly indicating that they were all at the quasi-martial artist level.

Twenty quasi-martial artists wearing A6-level armor and one hundred and eighty advanced apprentices wearing A6-level protective gear lined up in front of four large transport vehicles, resembling a well-trained army.

This made it clear to everyone present how great the difference in strength was between the suburban gangs and the outlying gangs; the two were not even on the same level.

As a tall and graceful half-scaled beauty stepped off the vehicle, two hundred fully armed half-scaled warriors bowed in unison, causing a stir among the crowd who wondered which important figure from the City of Light this half-scaled woman was.

"Why is she here?" Watu, over three meters tall with silver-gray fur, looked at the half-scaled woman stepping out of the car, his expression immediately becoming more serious and wary. "Could it also be for a small energy vein?"

Ordinary vagrants might not know the identity of this half-scaled woman, but few, as the leader of a large wilderness gang, would be unaware of it.

Xia Ling!

The granddaughter of the leader of the Phosphorus Fire Gang!

Before Vatu could even think it over, Xia Ling, who had just stepped out of the car, glanced at the members of the Great Ape Gang with her golden eyes and casually uttered a sentence that immediately shocked everyone present.

"This Obsidian Martial Arts School belongs to my friend. If your Great Ape Gang has nothing else to do, you can disband now."
