Chapter 2237: Chapter 2237: This Battle Shook the World
The number of people who fled back is not many, but not few either, and these people are scattered everywhere. To resist Du You, the alliance did not even inform their own people, so many unfortunately died there.
Similarly, some people from the alliance died due to various accidents or their own realizations, and then emerged from there.
So this kind of thing can’t be hidden at all, and it quickly spread throughout the world at an alarming speed. Now the whole world is discussing this matter.
Additionally, Du You did not stop the news, and on the alliance’s side, they spread propaganda for their victory, so soon everyone knew about it. This battle had a very significant impact.
"Oh my god, how did it turn out like this? We lost over a hundred tier eight warriors at once and countless tier seven ones. This loss is just too great," someone lamented, clutching their head in pain.
"The loss is indeed great, but compared to our overall number of strong warriors, this loss is not that significant."
Some remained rational and were able to analyze the current situation.
One person nearby said, "But the problem is, with this failure, we’ve lost so many people, it won’t be easy to gather this many again. It’s obvious although we have many divided guilds, no single one can produce such a number of strong warriors, so we must be a whole."
"Although we are a whole, integrating fully internally is not so easy. With so many lost, there will probably be chaos for a while, and possibly even division."
That is what they are really worried about. Once divided, our strength will definitely not be comparable to the alliance’s. The alliance can easily launch or resist attacks, and the progress towards a unified world will be halted.
As for why they wanted to see a unified world, it’s because they stand on this side.
And once the world is unified, there won’t be such large-scale wars anymore.
Don’t look at how these adventurers fight constantly in the Outer World, even sparking wars, but when such things happen in their homeland, they aren’t so optimistic.
There’s no power ceiling in the homeland, apart from the tier nine warriors not taking action, others have moved. Most of them, being small fries, can’t possibly intervene in such battles.
Moreover, when fighting in the homeland, death means death, there’s no chance for resurrection.
They don’t even have a chance to escape, in large battles they have long wanted to stop. Many now realize that only a stable and harmonious rear is their largest harbor.
Some who used to complain about not being able to use their powers in the homeland now regret that they can. You can even often see people from many cities holding anti-war marches.
Unfortunately, these marches are useless.
Ultimately, this is not a world of freedom and equality; in this world, the strong reign supreme. If the top warriors speak, no matter how much noise people make, it’s to no avail.
"We won, now the opposite side should be quiet for a while, right?"
This is a city on the alliance’s side, where the civilians live more miserably. On one hand, they hope the other side quickly takes over, as life over there is much better.
On the other hand, they worry about the other side attacking directly. Especially those cities close to the front line, as some are difficult to conquer, a mistake could spark a large war.
Though everyone in the homeland mostly uses technology weapons, the power of current technology weapons is too strong.
Various powerful warships fly all over, and should one make a mistake and something falls, not only are attacks possible, but warships being shot down is also possible. For ordinary people, if hit, it’s a dead end.
Even some stronger adventurers can easily be affected and killed in such wars.
So facing this situation, they feel reassured yet disappointed.
Even the upper class have suffered a serious impact. Especially on Du You’s defeated side, many city officials have started various anti-war plans, or other kinds of plans.
Unfortunately, the upper class here are not able to connect with each other, they can only manage their own cities and perhaps influence nearby areas, but they can’t dictate distant cities.
Top warriors who can influence them are instead under one organization.
What they don’t know is that many of those people are Du You’s doppelgangers, or people controlled by Du You.
Among the few remaining uncontrollable free individuals after the last war, they found that many were lost the moment they reconnected, so some know what happened.
Some smart ones immediately left the circle and fully integrated into a new power. As a result, there are even fewer of them now. Only a few dare to come out and make noise anymore.
Quietly, Du You recorded these people and plans to deal with them the next time there’s a chance.
"So, should we continue attacking?"
Du You nodded: "Of course, this time was a major defeat, and we lost so many people. We definitely need to give an explanation to others. So we need a victory to wash away this shame and avenge others."
Lin Yushi rolled her eyes, is there a need to say such nonsense at this time?
Avenge them? Didn’t you send them to their deaths on purpose? Of course, Lin Yushi wouldn’t say this directly, for her master’s face must be maintained.
Lin Yucha gently nodded: "Then the next target is here. Although the previous world was destroyed, we had long since locked in this world’s coordinates. This world is more important than the previous one. As a transportation hub, taking it down will cut off their Outer World from the center."
That’s right, taking over this world means planting a nail in a key city on the alliance’s side.
Then as long as they establish a foothold there, internal problems will arise within the alliance. Then those people would be caught in a dilemma. And we could easily expand, striking wherever we wished.
If executed well, I believe it won’t take long for the alliance to be completely dismantled, thus annexing it entirely.
