When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Behead!

The Star Network spokesman vigorously waved his right arm, inciting cheers from countless people at the scene.

Those watching the news broadcast were also deeply affected.

"If we could really wipe out the Secret Tower, that would be great. These lunatics from the Secret Tower cause trouble all day long, making me cautious every time I travel through the Elvin Channel."

"It's not that simple, just destroying a few peripheral bases, unless you catch a big fish who holds important intelligence, otherwise... heh, it's probably just false hope."

"Indeed, instead of listening to him spouting nonsense, it's better to think about where to go after finishing our drinks. I've heard that Twilight Street on Gent Star is a good place, hehe."

On the outskirts of the Sea Lion Star System, on a Star Network colonial planet named Gent, in a small bar that looked utterly ordinary, a group of traders from all over gathered together, drinking and chatting, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

As they talked, a Horned Man burped and stood up from the table.

"I'm going outside for some fresh air."

He leisurely walked out of the tavern, leaned against the wall outside, looked up, intending to watch the night sky.

At that moment, dozens of huge beams of light appeared in the sky.

"Such beautiful beams."

As soon as he finished his sentence, the Horned Man froze.

Beams?

Why would there be beams in a perfectly normal night sky?

And these beams, so thick and concentrated, usually meant...

"It's a laser cannon attack!"

A cry of terror pierced through the night, heard by everyone in the tavern, but what use was hearing it?

By the time the laser beams had fallen overhead, they had already lost any chance to dodge; all they could pray for was that their bodies could withstand the strike of the laser beams.

But that was clearly impossible.

Not to mention ordinary people, even most superpower users wouldn't be able to withstand an attack from a warship's main cannon.

In the last moments of his life, the Horned Man could only open his mouth and curse angrily— Content first released on M_VLEM_PYR.

"Fuck!"

The next second, the falling laser cannon melted him and the tavern behind him.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

A piercing alarm sounded throughout Gent Star.

The Governor of Gent, who fortunately was not at the Governor Mansion during the first round of attacks, escaped disaster. Upon realizing that Gent Star was under significant attack, he promptly sent a distress signal to the mother planet of the Star Network Community.

"We're under cannon attack, we currently don't know who the attackers are, and the situation on Gent Star is very bad, we urgently need..."

"Governor sir, I must tell you some bad news, before you contacted me, I had already received two distress signals, their predicaments are the same as Gent Star's, and the attackers are the Secret Tower."

Secret Tower?

The Governor of Gent was stunned.

Everyone who received the news was stunned.

They had never expected that the Secret Tower would launch retaliatory actions against the four civilizations that attacked their base at the same time.

In just half a day, the Secret Tower had launched attacks on 13 planets, with 12 planets subjected to cannon fire, and a planet called "Alarmon", belonging to the Heavenly Eye Alliance, was hit by a Taboo Level weapon. Accelerated neutron radiation swept across the planet's surface, obliterating seventy percent of the organic life forms there in just one minute.

Subsequent statistics showed that during this retaliation, the Secret Tower had inflicted casualties on over 900 million civilians.

For large-scale interstellar wars, this level of casualties wasn't considered extreme; merely bombing a few planets or even single planets might cause far more deaths.

But this wasn't a traditional war, it was a terror attack!

Brutal, merciless, maniacal... such descriptions frequently appeared in news reports.

In a brief period, the entire Initial Gate Star System Group was shaken, leaving countless people shocked and terrorized.

The Secret Tower actually had neutron weapons capable of attacking an entire planet?

Such weapons weren't easy to produce. As a terrorist organization, the Secret Tower shouldn't theoretically have the capability to make such weapons, suggesting that this neutron weapon was likely purchased through some special channel.

If the Secret Tower could purchase such high-level neutron weapons, could it be possible that they had also acquired planet or star-destroying weapons like [Planet Terminator] or [Supernova Apocalypse]?

It was unnerving to dwell on such possibilities, the more one thought about it, the more frightening and distressing it became.

"Have they gone mad?!"

Upon first seeing the news, Bai Fu was also stunned.

Over 900 million people!

In the famous battle of the Zhiyuan Star in the Halo series, only over 700 million humans died, and now this terror attack has killed over 900 million...

[Damn, unbelievable!]

Even well-informed Players couldn't help but curse, including the normally indifferent Afu who only cared about thrilling battles rather than the life and death of NPCs.

The sheer number of 900 million was simply overwhelming for Players who had just entered the Star Sea, making it difficult for them not to be moved.

This time, the Secret Tower had truly ignited widespread fury.

Their retaliatory actions would not only arouse the rage of civilians in the Initial Gate Star System Group but also the anger of all nearby civilizations.

Going forward, even if the Secret Tower managed to win in their confrontations with forces like the Star Network, they could never return to the public eye; if they dared to show themselves, they would inevitably face a joint attack from many more wary civilizations.

But for now, no one was focusing on that.

After the vengeful attacks, the Star Network and other forces were completely overwhelmed. They were busy organizing emergency relief while strengthening security everywhere and temporarily assembling fleets, ready to deal with any further crises that might arise.
