This was obvious enough just that the three of them were not on defence so they did not react on time. After Fearless explained, they immediately realised.

The three of them pointed at Jade Cloud in disbelief and asked in shock, “Is it really you? Why did you betray us?”

Jade Cloud took it in stride. Seeing how his identity had been exposed, he did not want to deny it further so with a calm expression, he looked at Nine Solitary Spears and said, “We can’t be playing the game for life so I wanted…”

“Enough, enough, enough!”

Jade Cloud was about to explain why he chose to be an undercover spy but Fearless aggressively interrupted him and said, “You just wanted a good future, right? We know. I’m not Conan, and no one is interested to hear the details of everything. Quickly shut up.”

“…”

After being deterred by Fearless, he quickly swallowed back what he intended to say.

Logically, aiming high and away from the bottom was normal for everyone as they wished for a good future. This was normal and it was just a game so it should not be taken too deeply.

However, Jade Cloud betrayed them and yet, still wanted to justify his actions with excuses. This made Fearless belittle him.

After stopping Jade Cloud, Fearless rubbed his nose and told Nine Solitary Spears, “Congxin, we have helped you with these two people so we don’t owe each other anything else. Do as you deem fit with them.”

Nine Solitary Spears had just experienced the betrayal of a brother so he was feeling annoyed.

In the game, he could not do anything more so the most he could do was to take away all his equipment. By then, Jade Cloud had already surrendered everything and was left with only his level.

“Kill him!”

Nine Solitary Spears took a deep breath and used his hand to rub his face then waved at Brother Light and the other two.

The three of them looked hesitant at Jade Cloud and Feng Yun Realm then turned both of them into white light in a few simple moves.

“Pata!”

After Feng Yun Realm died, the City Lord Seal fell onto the ground.

Wang Yu casually picked it up and tossed it for a bit in his hand, judged its appearance, then tossed it to Nine Solitary Spears.

Nine Solitary Spears received the City Lord seal and finally felt less irritated.

At the same time, the system notified: Under the lead of Twilight City’s City Lord, Ironbull, Twilight City’s players fought a 15-minute bloody battle to finally take down Sky Dragon City and assassinated Feng Yun Realm, achieving victory in this city battle. From today onwards, Sky Dragon City is Twilight City’s territory as part of the Neutral faction.

Soon after, the players who participated received rewards of all sorts.

Naturally, the rewards from a city battle were very generous so Quan Zhen Sect was pretty satisfied with it. However, Fearless unhappily said, “This system’s use of vocabulary is really bad. What did it mean by bloody battle? I did not even lose a troop to take down Sky Dragon City.”

Everyone heard him then sighed, “Aigh, aigh, aigh… Fearless, what a boastful b*stard.”

…

City battles were the greatest scale of battle which players could control. Under normal circumstances, other than the system’s rewards, the defeated guild had to pay reparations to regain its City Lord Seal.

After all, once they lost in the battle, it had become the opponent’s territory so the seal was not of much use to the victor.

However, since Wang Yu gave the seal to Nine Solitary Spears, they lost a sum of reparations.

Of course, to Quan Zhen Sect, the more gold coins they had, the more burdensome they were as the current depreciation of the gold coins made their heart ache more than taking money straight out of their wallets.

For a large scale battle quest like city battles, so long as they participated, they would be rewarded. Even Sky Dragon City’s players received consolation rewards for putting in the work but they did not have enough money to redeem the City Lord Seal so it was a win-win situation.

However, Nine Solitary Spears still looked desolate.

Quan Zhen Sect could not bear to see it any further so they went over to pat him on the shoulder and said, “Even the most united guild can have a betrayer. This is a matter of chances. Do you know that out of every five men, one has erectile dysfunction? It just happens that you are unlucky.”

These b*stards were asking for a beating up. Nine Solitary Spears was already in such a state and yet, they were still saying such heartless things.

“Scram, scram, scram!” Nine Solitary Spears waved his hands to chase them away, “You guys are the ones with erectile dysfunction! I am feeling sad as the defeated side’s City Lord.”

Quan Zhen Sect rebutted him, “Hey, hey, hey, we really can’t tell that as a strong man, you are really emotional. We aren’t demanding money from you so you guys benefitted. What’s there to be said about.”

“We indeed don’t have to pay up…” Nine Solitary Spears depressedly said, “But now Sky Dragon City is Twilight City’s territory… Once the players go online tomorrow, we, Apocalypse will be in trouble.”

“Erm…” Quan Zhen Sect neatly turned to look at Wang Yu.

Nine Solitary Spears was right. Everyone in the game did not want to become other people’s citizens for no apparent reason.

When the other players come online tomorrow, they will hear why they lost the battle… Apocalypse would be reprimanded. Not only did he betray them, he even led everyone to surrender. He was basically a nation betrayer like those during the Warring States era.

Seeing how everyone was looking at him, Wang Yu helplessly spread his hands and said, “I can’t do anything. Although I am the City Lord, if they want to regain independence, they will have to attack Twilight City. How can we become their citizens instead?”

“Shit!”

Hearing what Wang Yu said, Quan Zhen Sect were stunned. They then quickly said decisively, “Accept your fate! If you don’t, we will kill you until you do.”

Nine Solitary Spears, “…”

“Hehe!” Suddenly, the quiet Fearless spoke his mind, “Congxin ah, it is Sky Dragon City’s benefit to be Twilight City’s citizens!”

“Oh? Why is it so?” Nine Solitary Spears snarled and folded his arms while he looked at Fearless bullshit on.

“Think about it…” Fearless then asked Nine Solitary Spears, “What faction are your main city’s players in?”

“Erm…” Nine Solitary Spears looked his own faction then said, “Neutral Faction.”

“See!” Fearless then asked again, “Do you still remember the game’s current documentary?”

“Of course. The rise of the Dragon Race!” Nine Solitary Spears exclaimed.

“Exactly!” Fearless squinted his eyes and said, “I’m sure you know where the Dragon Race originated from.”

“Erm…” Hearing what Fearless said, Nine Solitary Spears’ eyes lit up and the irritation on his face disappeared.

Nine Solitary Spears was a loyal veteran player so since he was playing the game, he kept himself updated with all the new content… For players to gain Dragon Race’s bloodline, the only way was to join the Neutral faction.

However, not just anyone could join it. As Twilight City’s colonised city, Sky Dragon City would naturally be part of the Neutral faction too. Hence, for Sky Dragon City to be Twilight City’s subsidiary was the greatest reward of this city battle.

Well, putting it this way does make pudding sound like the strongest weapon.
