Chapter 654: War
[Swamp Lizardman Nest],
Big Stone Mountain,
As soon as players received the quest, the atmosphere in the camp instantly heated up.
"Is it finally starting?"
"I want to see rivers of blood!"
"I want to kill some Lizardmen!"
...
Upon seeing the quest prompt, the players all got excited.
However, although the call was to start a war with the Lizardmen, the players didn't see the person leading them.
What's going on?
Could it be that Lis is allowing them to fight the Lizardmen on their own?
It seems... this isn't impossible?
Even though constrained by Lis's rules, players couldn't directly initiate a conflict with the natives of this small world, they had found various ways to understand the current strength level of this world.
The so-called Isaac Great Forest, its area is comparable to the Feis Kingdom that annexed the Boditch Kingdom.
But the strength of Transcendents here is much weaker.
The players who interacted with the races living in the Isaac Great Forest found that, while many tribes have a high proportion of Transcendents, most are Bronze Level Professionals.
Silver Rank Strongmen are rare.
If it hadn't been for players encountering a Golden Rank Lizardman Warrior earlier, players would have doubted whether there were any Golden Rank Professionals in this world.
However, even if there is a Golden Rank, there is just one.
Moreover, Silver Rank Professionals are already exceptionally rare strongmen in this world!
This instantly inflated the confidence of players who just entered version 3.0 and increased their power to Silver Rank with the level cap released.
Although they know they're still far from being on par with Lis, a Legendary Strongman, at least they're not powerless anymore.
Especially within this small world with relatively weak comprehensive strength.
The players' enthusiasm was very high.
Additionally, due to Lis's operations, those coming to the [Swamp Lizardman Nest] besides some craftsmen and guards from Danerluo Port were basically all players.
So this also amounts to a special group activity for the players.
Now, the players can't wait to raise their weapons and rush out of the camp to search for Lizardmen in the forest.
Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the camp.
He wore a dark gray robe, and the bone Magic Wand in his hand emitted a cold black glow.
Calvo stood there, looking at the noisy players before him, and frowned:
"Quiet!"
With his voice, two terrifying Death Knights appeared behind him.
These two Death Knights were enveloped in almost tangible death aura, as if they were horrifying existences that crawled out from the Netherworld Abyss. They were clad in dilapidated black iron armor, which bore the marks of time and scars from battles, every crack telling stories of the countless fierce wars they had endured.
Their faces hidden beneath sinister helms, revealing only eyes with a flickering green glow, lacking any emotion of a living being.
Around their bodies, black mist swirled endlessly, like the cloak of the Death God, where they tread, all vegetation withered, life extinguished.
The moment the Death Knights appeared, all nearby players received a Will Judgment.
Without a doubt, all the Will Judgments failed, and the players fell into a fear state.
Of course, the players didn't feel the mental oppression brought by the [Fear] state, but it manifested as their bodies unable to move.
But seeing the grim appearance of the Death Knights, they couldn't help feeling a bit afraid.
The reason players couldn't pass the Will Judgment was simple; the two Death Knights summoned by Calvo were powerful Golden Rank existences.
Players who just broke into Silver Rank naturally could not exempt.
"I am here representing Kane Floating City, to lead you to win this war."
Calvo frowned, looking at the chaotic players in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.
He was coming here naturally following Lis's orders.
Though compared to this task of conquering a small world, he is more interested in staying in the Floating City.
Since pledging loyalty to Lis, although having daily tasks to complete, this kind of life was what Calvo had been dreaming of.
To be able to live in Kane Floating City, and also able to borrow those precious Magic Books in the Floating City Library based on contributions.
This lifestyle to Calvo is far more delightful than being part of the Pan-Continent Mage Alliance.
With Calvo's strength, he is considered among the strongest out of the Golden Mage recruits at Kane Floating City.
Moreover, with his soul controlled by Lis, loyalty was never a concern, hence he's naturally the small leader of the Floating City recruited Mage Professionals.
This task was specially entrusted to him by Lis.
Before coming, he already got information about this small world.
Only one Golden Rank Warrior, others are Silver Rank Professionals.
Furthermore, due to the lack of inherited knowledge, the strength of professionals in the small world is generally weaker than those of the same rank in the Gaia Main World.
For this kind of task, deploying any Golden Rank Professional should be sufficient.
However, Calvo did not refuse this task.
His mind is currently filled with fulfilling Lis's commands.
Upon joining Kane Floating City, and truly experiencing the myriad benefits, Calvo promptly defected.
