[Lv45 Ghost Graveyard]
The sudden appearance of players from the Divine Nation guild shocked and angered the surrounded Blood Dance guild players.
"People from the Divine Nation guild? Why are they here?"
"Rulebound must have called them! Damn it, our Second Miss kindly summoned a BOSS and sold it to him, and he repays us by bringing Divine Nation here to wipe us out?"
Shock also flickered in Han Ruoxi's eyes.
She couldn't believe Lin Mo was that kind of person.
Beside Lin Mo, Ning Xi spoke softly, "The people from Divine Nation were probably already here. They did it on purpose. Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they appear right after we kill the BOSS."
"Mm," Lin Mo showed no surprise at all, as if he had already seen through everything. Calmly he said, "They arrived before we did."
No one understood the rules of Divine Oracle better than Lin Mo: A player must be physically present in a map in order to send the location of that map.
Which meant that when Divine Nation Judge sent Lin Mo the location of Ghost Graveyard and asked him to come kill the BOSS and fight against Blood Dance, he was already inside Ghost Graveyard.
Not, as he claimed, still on the way from somewhere else.
As for why they deliberately hid themselves and only made a move now, the reason was obvious.
Just as the players from Divine Nation and Blood Dance on the field were on the verge of clashing, with a battle about to erupt, Divine Nation Judge suddenly walked up beside Lin Mo and said in a seemingly discreet tone, "Brother! I know these Blood Dance people are your friends. I understand that your position right now is very difficult."
"But we're all just following orders. There's nothing we can do! After all, Blood Dance is an enemy of Divine Nation!"
Divine Nation Judge looked around, deliberately lowering his voice as he said to Lin Mo, "But I can help you out of this situation! The brothers I brought with me today all used to work with me in the company. If you want to let the Blood Dance people go, just say the word. I absolutely won't let them leak a single word about today's events to President Ling."
At this very moment, Divine Nation Judge had secretly activated the game's video recording function.
He was expecting Lin Mo to step into the trap he carefully set. After that, he would trim the beginning and end of the video and use it as evidence to frame Lin Mo, then send it to Ling Xue and use it to bring Lin Mo down.
But the words Lin Mo blurted out next instantly made his scalp go numb.
"Since Blood Dance is an enemy of Divine Nation, then as a member of the Divine Nation guild, we should prioritize the guild's interests at all times and never easily let an enemy go."
"Not abuse our authority for personal favors like you."
Divine Nation Judge was stunned.
He thought to himself, 'Why isn't he following the script?'
And now it actually made him look like the one wavering in loyalty.
Frightened, Divine Nation Judge hurriedly turned off the recording function, afraid that the video might somehow end up in Ling Xue's hands.
If that happened, he'd only end up hurting himself instead.
Meanwhile, the Blood Dance players ahead, after hearing what Lin Mo said, were filled with fury.
"So it really was Rulebound who called them."
"We sold the BOSS to him and he turns around and schemes against us! What a despicable bastard!"
"Rulebound is incredibly strong, and now he has the Divine Nation guild backing him. Brothers, be careful!"
"Don't fight them head-on. Find a way to break through! Retreat!"
Just as the Blood Dance players were preparing to group up and withdraw, Lin Mo suddenly took the Advanced Command Token from his waist.
Holding the golden token in his hand, he gave a command.
"All troops, hear my order."
"Kill the enemy!"
The moment his words fell, from every direction, a large group of level 50 NPC soldiers who had already been stationed outside the Ghost Graveyard suddenly surged into the graveyard like a tidal wave.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Cavalry charged forward.
Infantry rushed in.
Archers provided long-range fire suppression.
The Blood Dance players were caught completely off guard.
And even though they were all first-rate high-level players in Blazing Ember City, they simply couldn't withstand the attacks of these NPC soldiers whose levels exceeded theirs by nearly twenty.
Amid a wave of screams, they suffered massive casualties almost instantly.
Inside the graveyard, countless beams of white light shot into the sky.
Within the crowd, Han Ruoxi's eyes turned red with tears.
She still couldn't believe that she had treated Lin Mo sincerely, only for him to scheme against her.
"These NPCs are too strong! We can't hold them off at all!"
"And there are too many of them! The entire Ghost Graveyard is surrounded. We have no chance to break out!"
Amid the rising white lights, screams echoed endlessly.
At this moment, the berserker Blood Dance Kuangzhan stuffed a Return Scroll into Han Ruoxi's hand and urgently said, "Second Miss, use the Return Scroll and get out! We'll cover you!"
Smack!
Han Ruoxi violently threw the Return Scroll to the ground. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said, "I'm not leaving! I will never abandon everyone and survive alone!"
"I live and die with Blood Dance!"
After saying that, Han Ruoxi grabbed her bow and, together with the other Blood Dance players beside her, fought desperately to resist.
The level 50 NPC army under Lin Mo's command was unstoppable and invincible.
In less than two minutes, all four hundred-plus second-class Blood Dance players, including Han Ruoxi, were completely wiped out. Not a single one remained.
Looking at the battlefield covered in loot, the spectators outside the graveyard gasped in shock.
"Rulebound's NPC army… that's way too domineering."
"Just like that, they wiped out hundreds of Blood Dance guild players."
"The Blood Dance guild is really miserable…"
"Ah! My Goddess Ruoxi! Rulebound, I hate you! Why did you have to kill my Goddess Ruoxi!"
———
[Inside the Graveyard]
Even the players from the Divine Nation guild felt chills running down their backs.
Cold sweat poured down Divine Nation Judge's forehead.
He hadn't expected that Lin Mo not only ignored his request to keep the NPC army stationed in Blazing Ember City, but also acted so decisively.
He had truly wiped out the entire Blood Dance guild without leaving a single survivor.
'Damn it!'
Divine Nation Judge still refused to accept it.
'I absolutely can't let President Ling know that tonight's BOSS kill and the destruction of Blood Dance were all accomplished by Rulebound alone! Otherwise she'll never look at me again!'
So Divine Nation Judge immediately sent Ling Xue a message.
["President Ling, I led the brothers to fully cooperate with Rulebound. We have successfully killed the BOSS and eliminated the Blood Dance guild."]
———
At the same time, offline—
[The Capital of Dragon Nation, the Imperial City]
The banquet had just ended.
Ling Xue received Divine Nation Judge's message.
Without even thinking about Divine Nation Judge, she only thought of Lin Mo. A smile appeared on her face as she said, "Rulebound, I knew it. You never disappoint me."
Just as she finished speaking—
Ding!
Lin Mo suddenly sent her a message on his own initiative.
"Oh? I've had you on my friend list for so long, and this is the first time you've ever messaged me first."
"Are you trying to claim credit and ask for a reward? Fine. Whatever reward you want this time, I'll grant it."
As she spoke, Ling Xue opened Lin Mo's message, only to discover that he wasn't asking for a reward at all.
He had simply sent a recorded video from the Divine Oracle game.
Curious, Ling Xue tapped the video and started playing it.
The moment she watched it.
A cold glint appeared in her icy eyes…
———
[Blazing Ember City]
[Ghost Graveyard]
Divine Nation Judge was feeling smug.
'Rulebound, even if your performance tonight was flawless, so what? In the end, the credit still belongs to me.'
'It's a pity I couldn't catch any evidence against you this time, but that's fine. Once I rise in rank, as long as I'm around, sooner or later President Ling will kick you out of Divine Nation! And your position will eventually belong to me!'
As he spoke, just as Divine Nation Judge stared at his chat window with President Ling, happily waiting for her praise and reward—
Ding!
A message from Ling Xue suddenly arrived, making his heart crack and his vision go dark.
["You're fired."]
