After working throughout the entire night, he finally finished everything and went offline to rest.
He ate, watched whatever was playing on the television, and then went to bed.
When he woke up, the first thing he did was to enter the game.
[Server Announcement: The Faction War has officially begun. Please refer to the players of the Faction War to gather at the designated area. The war will officially begin at 6 p.m.]
He took a look at the announcement. Although the date of the war had been brought forward, the time of the war was exactly the same as before.
There were still three hours left, which was enough time for him and his squad to be fully prepared.
Li Yi sent a message to his squad members to inform them to gather. Everyone was online, and the first thing they did was reply to the message.
They arrived at the designated West Wind Knight barracks. Outside of the barracks were filled with other people. The surrounding scent was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Because today, the contents of the event had already been announced in the official announcement page.
After everyone learned that the highest reward was the station token, many guilds began to enter a state of anxiety. The guild members also began to look at the other guilds covetously.
Right now, most of the players at the entrance of the barracks were guild members. It was the time when everyone did not see eye to eye with each other. They felt uncomfortable when they saw other guild members.
This was especially so for the members of the Scorching Sun Guild and Proud Guild. They were on the verge of breaking out into a fight before the start of the war.
If it was not for the guild leaders on both sides not giving in, they might have already started fighting.
“Your guild should stop causing trouble for everyone here. Without Carefree Dream, you guys are nothing. Yet you still want to fight over the token?”
“Yo, aren’t these the players that died in the hands of Carefree Dream? They’ve recovered from their levels and are starting to shout nonsense again, aren’t they?”
“I think you’re just looking for a fight, aren’t you?”
“Come on, who’s afraid of who here huh?”
Just as the two sides were in a heated argument, the members of the Misty Rain Guild only watched from the sides. Not to mention the Misty Rain Guild, even the members of the other guilds were eager for them to start a fight.
This way, they would have less trouble when the real war broke out.
“What are you doing? What are you doing? You’re itching for a fight here? What kind of place is this? Everyone, be quiet!”
Sun Conqueror arrived at the scene and scolded his guild members.
“Can’t you tell that the other side is trying to provoke us?! Calm down!”
It had to be said that Sun Conqueror was a very calm and collected guild leader.
He was not flustered by the people from the Proud Guild’s side.
“Guild leader, your subordinates don’t seem to know how to speak.”
At this moment, Proud Dali also appeared. He looked at Sun Conqueror with a strange expression. Fortunately, Sun Conqueror ignored him.
When Proud Dali got ignored, it made him so angry that he gritted his teeth. He understood the situation now. Sun Conqueror could not let anything go wrong before the war started.
Both sides had their own ideas. If they wanted to do something, they would have to do it during the war.
If they did it now, it would undoubtedly be a loss. After all, they were all on the same side as of now.
Li Yi saw that there were too many people ahead, so he did not want to draw attention to himself. He put on his Nameless Cloak and sneaked into the military camp.
He was different from them. He was someone who could enter the military camp directly, and outsiders were not allowed to enter without a military pass.
This was also Li Yi’s squad’s unique privilege at the moment.
After entering the military camp, he saw Clutch King and the others.
“Bro, you’re here.”
After entering, Li Yi took off his Nameless Cloak.
“Hey, why is Carefree Dream inside? When did he enter?”
“He doesn’t seem to be the only one. There seem to be a few others around him. That’s Clutch King and Winnie, right?”
A few people noticed that Li Yi and the other players wanted to enter, but were blocked outside.
“What’s the meaning of this? Why can they enter but we can’t?”
“You’re right, I can’t go in.”
Although the people outside were very dissatisfied, they had no choice but to compromise in the face of the soldiers’ obstruction.
After all, these soldiers were at least level 35, and the soldiers inside were close to level 40.
By the way, the Knight Commander’s level was around level 100.
Li Yi looked at the four friends in front of him and was very excited. After his rebirth, he had always been alone, and by chance, he got to know everyone in this life.
He thought that everyone would forever be strangers passing by, but in the end, they became teammates who would fight life and death together.
Now, everyone followed his lead, and they helped each other and worked well together.
Everyone laughed and joked around as if they had known each other for years.
He had not felt this kind of feeling for a long time.
He used to fight with his teammates in the world of Divine Revelation.
However, when the gods came, they all died right in front of him.
He would never forget that scene.
So in this life, he planned to be alone. However, what the world offered to him was just too enticing to look away.
The more he tried to avoid it, the fiercer it would come back to him.
Now, at the early stage of the game, he already had the qualifications of a squad leader and had a station token.
Moreover, he was lucky enough to have four squadmates.
In the future, there might be more players who would follow him into battle.
The barrier around his heart slowly dissipated bit by bit. Therefore, Li Yi was very sure that only by becoming stronger could he protect everyone around him in the future.
That was why Li Yi would not let any of his team members fall in front of him, even if they were facing the gods.
“I have prepared a gift for all of you. Remember to change into it when you fight.”
Li Yi took out the equipment one by one and handed it to them.
Everyone held back their excitement and followed Li Yi to the Knight Commander’s office.
When they entered they saw that the Knight Commander and his subordinates were making arrangements for this battle.
When they saw Li Yi and the others arrive, their faces were filled with joy.
“Oh my, I didn’t expect you to come. Are you here to fight against the enemy with me?”
“That’s why I’m here. Please instruct me on where we should be Knight Commander.”
“That’s an honor. During wartime, I shall use my all. Please follow me.”
The Knight brought Li Yi to the front of the strategy map. The location of this battle was the border between the two cities. The terrain here was complicated, and there were many trees and forests. It looked extremely troublesome to fight in such an environment.
This was especially more so for large-scale armies, they could be easily scattered.
Hence, the players main task was to enter the forest and clear the path in front of them.
This would open up a space for the troops to advance.
The difficulty of this job was that the other side would send troops that were also players to ambush them as well.
At this point, it would depend on the strength of the players on both sides. Regardless of which side won, it would directly affect the strategy of the army. After looking at the strategy map, Li Yi was very clear about his next move. However, right now, he mainly needed to understand the Knight Commander’s arrangements for his squad.
“I’ve understood the general situation. Do you have any plans for us?”
“He just wants to borrow the strength of your squad to help ambush a few important explosion points.”
When Li Yi heard these words, he was completely shocked.
Was he planning to destroy them along with the players?
