Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

There was no doubt that when the new storyline quest appeared, players were once again thrilled.

The other quest rewards were fine, but that last special storyline quest reward marked in silver in the quest box completely ignited the players' enthusiasm.

Advanced Job Change Quota! This was an Advanced Job Change Quota!

All players participating in the large-scale war quest were invigorated, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.

"Elf Kingdom," unlike other online games, had some differences. Here, although the power gap between different ranks of Transcendents was significant, it wasn't catastrophic within the Black Iron Rank.

This meant that the special storyline quest reward wasn't only attainable by those players who were level 40.

Perhaps they had a better chance of killing more enemies, but other players also had opportunities!

The battlefield was chaotic and unpredictable.

If luck was on your side, one of your magic spells might blow up several unlucky fellows; but if fortune spurned you, even as a level 40 player, you could be sent back to Chosen City by an arrow right at the start of a charge…

Thus, without needing mobilization from the major guilds, players spontaneously logged into the war channel and gathered at Blade City.

This time, the army assembly still centered around the four major guilds.

No, they could no longer be called the four major guilds.

"Elf Kingdom" had no membership limit for guilds, and after absorbing the players from the fourth beta, the current member count of the four major guilds reached a terrifying level.

Even the least established, the Autobots, had over 5,000 members, while the largest, Heart of Nature, had already surpassed 10,000.

The total number of players across all four major guilds combined shockingly accounted for over half of the 60,000 beta players.

It could be said that they now definitely qualified as mega guilds.

Of course, although the scale of the four major guilds was increasingly dreadful, those medium and small guilds had also become a force not to be underestimated.

With the influx of players from the fourth beta, various new guilds sprouted like mushrooms after rain. Although none could reach the scale of the four major guilds, there were quite a few large guilds with more than 1,000 players.

With over 1,000 players, a guild could unlock the legion function, so this time, the participating player armies were no longer just four but expanded to over twenty.

Of course, these over twenty legions were still divided into four parts, each centered around the guilds of First Legion, Mengmeng Committee, Heart of Nature, and Autobots.

Players humorously referred to them as four army groups, and the commanders were Fried Tomato, Lunch Box, Li Mu, and Transforming Ji Gang.

Among them, Li Mu served as the general commander of the Elf Expeditionary Army.

With the command structure forming, each guild officially began rallying their members to join the battle.

Almost every second, players emerged from the ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array, heading outside Blade City to assemble…

And outside the city, the early-arriving players gradually took over.

They gathered under the northern city wall of Blade City, densely packed and ever-growing, with total numbers quickly surpassing 10,000. Then… 20,000…

Then… 30,000…

The endless stream of supporting Elves, the increasingly astonishing numbers, left Dark Dwarf Huo Xu, looking down from the city wall, dumbfounded.

He had originally thought the Elves numbered at most 20,000; however, he realized he had underestimated them.

And the warriors of Blade City, with the growing number of Elves, transitioned from excitement to surprise, then from surprise to shock, and finally into collective silence…

When the assembly deadline arrived, even the commanders of the player guilds were rendered speechless.

Since the launch of the fourth beta, most players had already advanced to Black Iron, so… the number of players participating far exceeded their expectations!

By the agreed half-day time point, a full 50,000 players had gathered under the city walls!

50,000 troops!

What concept was a 50,000-strong army?

In past flat online games, a thousand-player battle was enough to create an epic sense of awe. Previously, the 30,000-strong Half-Beast Army already gave players the impression of being unbounded and unstoppable…

And now, players had reached and even exceeded this scale!

They completely occupied the northern area of Blade City, appearing like a sea formed of human heads, inspiring awe and sending chills down spines…

"Epic! This is our epic! This is our legend! This belongs to our 'Elf Kingdom!'"

Standing on the city wall, looking at the massive army below, Li Mu was excited, filled with a heroic spirit.

*In his lifetime, he had never imagined participating in commanding a battle of this scale. Alongside his excitement, he felt nervous, and his nervousness was coupled with anticipation.*

*Who could stop them now?*

*Who?!*

*His emotions surged*, as he took screenshots within the system and instructed the players in charge of the battle anthem to play the most passionate BGM. Then, he raised the magnificent longsword used specifically for command (and showing off) and shouted loudly to the players waiting outside the city walls:

"For the glory of the Elf Clan! For the ultimate victory!"

His voice was hoarse and trembling, somewhat naive.

However, his excited voice reverberated above Blade City and in the battlefield channels players logged into, yet no one felt out of place…

Faced with such a magnificent scene and the thought of being participants, no one could maintain inner calmness.

The players' cohesion reached a climax at this moment.

Nobody knew who started it, but someone raised their weapon high, and soon other players followed suit…

Shuashuashua!

The army of tens of thousands simultaneously pulled out their weapons, raising them into the air, and their overwhelming voices rose up:

"For the glory of the Elf Clan! For the ultimate victory!"

The voice wasn't particularly unison, even slightly chaotic.

But the effect of tens of thousands of people shouting together was stirring and inspiring.

The ground trembled with tsunami-like cheers, echoes resounding throughout Blade City, and none witnessing it could help but be moved.

"The times… are changing."

Looking at the awe-inspiring Elf Army, Dark Dwarf Huo Xu's expression was complex.

"Attack—!"

Li Mu waved his longsword and shouted again.

"Ura—!"

Rumbling cheers echoed.

Amidst the flying dust, the army of tens of thousands slowly began to move, like a terrifying giant beast…

At the highest tower on the city wall of Blade City.

Eve's avatar stood there, using Divine Arts to conceal herself.

She looked at the slowly moving player army below, feeling gratified.

She exhaled softly and said slowly:

"The Chosen Ones have set out, they may be vast in number, but they lack high-end strength."

"Since you've just awakened, go with them, let me see your strength."

Saying this, she turned slightly, looking at a figure behind her.

It was a boy who seemed to be thirteen or fourteen years old, with black hair and red eyes, clad in black Dragon Scale Armor.

Hearing her words, the boy bowed slightly and respectfully replied in a clear voice:

"At your command."
