Magic, Evil Gods, and the Fourth Calamity

During their casual conversation, the sleepless night's gaze involuntarily drifted to the distant city of "Sogoria".

This is a city entirely white, bathed in soft sunlight, like a holy angel perched atop the mountains, radiating the light of civilization and order.

However, all players know that beneath the city's beautiful facade of civilization and order lies unbridled barbarity and madness.

This is the city from which Caesar Arthos escaped, a city that was once human and was now occupied by orcs.

Not long ago, the humans in that city attempted to rebel against the orcs, but the rebellion failed due to the vast difference in strength between them.

The ultimate result of that rebellion, besides deepening humanity's fear of orcs, also proved that in this world where extraordinary powers exist, it is meaningless for ordinary people to resist those who are extraordinary, except to quickly meet their death.

"When is Brother Hua planning to launch a full-scale attack?"

Suddenly, Changye Bumian spoke up and asked the wind above the pig's mouth, "A few days ago, an exploration team of a thousand people came here, intending to sneak into the city through the secret passage known to Caesar."

Unexpectedly, the orcs had already discovered the secret passage and laid an ambush at its exit.

After a fierce battle, the scouting players were all wiped out, and the orcs realized that the invading humans were not simple, so they strengthened the defenses of the entire city.

In the past few days, the remaining players have been camping in the dense forests near the city, either ambushing orc or alien caravans that try to enter or leave Sogoria, or disguising themselves as human slaves to infiltrate the city, and have made quite a few gains.

Pig Mouth Wind scratched the rooster comb on his head, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Currently, there are about 10,000 players who want to participate in the siege and are heading this way. If we really want to launch a strong attack, we still need to wait for the main force to arrive and we need plenty of time."

Hua Ge is currently planning to set the date for Friday evening, the day after tomorrow. Based on the timeline, it will likely be around noon in the game world.

There are four medium-sized orc tribes occupying Sogoria, with a total orc population of around 130,000. Among them, there are about 40,000 bronze-level orcs, none silver-level orcs, and the rest are all iron-level orcs.

After figuring things out, Hua Kai Fu Gui and the others discussed it and decided to share the mission they received from Saintess Irene across the entire world. Many players accepted the mission and rushed to join Hua Kai Fu Gui.

"Then the game introduced a 'Time Traveler' NPC, right? Brother Hua asked the members who stayed in Blackwater City and the capital to find out about the situation. This Time Traveler can make teleportation scrolls and teleportation hubs, so we were thinking about whether we could bring a Time Traveler over."

If we have a teleportation hub or teleportation array, we can avoid unnecessary losses and fight with complete freedom during a strong attack.

At least, there's no need to worry about being teleported back to the Kingdom of Ruhr after running out of save points.

"Indeed, but I've heard that the known Time Travelers are following a player group called Starry Sky Team!"

I couldn't sleep all night and remembered the news I'd seen on the game forum.

"It seems the Starry Sky Team has also discovered an orc city and is interested in it. They appear to be building a teleportation hub and recruiting players!"

As a professional game blogger specializing in "Otherworld Online", I'm fairly well-informed about the latest news.

"That's true, and Brother Changye, do you know that?"

Caesar was discovered by the captain of the Starry Sky Team, but he probably didn't trigger the mission because his level wasn't high enough. Later, Hua Ge got him by using his connections with the Saintess!

Then, in the blink of an eye, he triggered a quest in another city, and it was he who discovered the Time Traveler.

I had no idea about these things while I was up all night. I couldn't help but exclaim, "In a game with 100,000 players online, he only triggered two major quests. Could he be a plant by the official team?!"

"Hehe, impossible, because the captain of this Starry Sky Team is..."

The wind from the pig's mouth paused halfway through its story, then whispered mysteriously in the ear of the sleepless night.

"Wow, really?"

Long Night Sleepless was greatly shocked, while the wind on Pig Mouth shrugged.

"100% authentic, you should be able to tell just by looking at their guild name!"

The long night passed in silence.

Not knowing how to evaluate it, he decided to level up first and try to gain as many levels as possible before launching a full-scale attack on Sogoria.

……

Both groups of players targeting the orc city are making intensive preparations.

Meanwhile, high above, in the War God Kingdom's Hall of War, the mortal realm was in turmoil, and the mortal world was in turmoil. The mortal realm was in turmoil, and the mortal realm ...

He was very upset.

Since he was demoted from his level by the world's will for his reckless attack, he has been hiding in the divine kingdom, but he has also been sending divine decrees to the orc empire in the mortal world, ordering them to gather their forces and destroy the Kingdom of Ruhr.

What He didn't expect was that, because of His broadcast to the whole world, all the humans in Errol knew about the return of the God of Light. Many humans who had joined other races and gained considerable power began to secretly cause trouble within the empire.

The Orcish Empire is called an empire, but in reality it is just a tribal confederation formed by the Orcish royal court uniting many tribes.

Each tribe is a small kingdom.

In addition, the orcs' violent and irritable nature meant that the orc empire was not a unified entity from top to bottom.

The entire orcish empire is far more fragile than it appears on the surface.

Uprisings broke out among humans under the rule of various tribes, while other forces secretly stirred up trouble.

This resulted in the vast orc empire being unable to effectively build an army for a time.

In the past, the Hall of War would likely have used its power to forcibly quell the turmoil in the Orc Empire.

However, He is currently in a period of being punished by the world's will. If He uses His power to interfere with reality at this time, He will easily be punished by the world's will again.

And none of the gods under His command, those of medium or low power, or demigods, could command the complete respect of the empire.

Must I really risk being punished by the world's will again by forcibly quelling the empire's turmoil?

Just as the war hall was hesitating, it suddenly felt a call from above.

That was a powerful deity who convened a council of gods through the Supreme Temple.

What are those guys up to now?

The last meeting was specifically to criticize Him, but He retorted.

After a moment's thought, the Hall of War still projected its consciousness over there, and it was the last racial god to arrive here.

"Hey, what are you guys up to now...?"

[War Hall] spoke, attempting to show that although he was only of medium divine power, he was not afraid of other powerful gods.

However, before He could finish speaking, [Wisdom and Mystery] interrupted Him and looked at the God of Light in the corner of the Supreme Temple, uttering a heavy sentence.

"The Gluttonous Dragon may have made a comeback!"
