Chapter 2239: Chapter 2239: The Complete Collapse of the Alliance
Although it was just a counterattack, the impact and outcome were indeed significant. This time, although we suffered quite a bit, the other side lost even more—it can be said it was a very rare victory.
Moreover, even though we suffered considerable losses, we had thirty against fifty, so we profited. And, those who died on our side were relatively weak, whereas some of the opposing casualties were not lacking in power.
Even the upper class knew that some of the rebels on our side died.
Those unruly fellows, isn’t it just right that they died? Their struggles before their deaths could still bring some positive outcomes to our side—how fitting!
Not only that, many worlds on the frontline perimeter were also occupied.
Because we sent fewer people, but they were strong enough, the other side couldn’t easily destroy the world to eliminate them. Otherwise, who suffered more in the end wouldn’t necessarily be clear.
Also, destroying a world requires ensuring that the tier-eight strong cannot escape, which is not an easy task.
This requires advance planning and a tier-eight world as a sacrifice. If a tier-seven world is destroyed, even with tier-eight experts within, they’re unlikely to perish.
Because the world barrier itself is weak, tier-eight experts, even when suppressed by the current world, can manage to break free. The strength of the Magic Array also relies on the strength of the world barrier to be effective.
A chain of world occupations followed by a counterattack from the Outer World, directly destroying guilds, and then advancing from outside, turning numerous cities into ours. Due to each fighting separately, the other side couldn’t organize effective resistance, resulting in minimal loss, and some city’s upper class ultimately surrendered.
Taking it without bloodshed, this is a huge victory.
As for the civilians, many were directly transferred since it remains very dangerous here on the frontline.
They will be sent to Floating Cities or dungeons to live, filling the population there and clearing the frontline.
Life improved, and distanced from the frontline, these people praised the new power immensely, without any psychological resistance.
This approach made the people from the alliance even more envious. As for the alliance’s upper class, after this failure, internal conflicts erupted completely.
Some tier-eight experts even agreed to fight in the Void.
Things have evolved to the point where everyone can see that the alliance is at a dead end.
Yet the opposing attack hasn’t stopped. With the arrival of the next month, the Command Center plans again, based on the foothold secured last month, directly dispatching a large number of experts to attack many different positions.
"Discovered a new tier-nine world? Didn’t expect one hidden here. Let’s fight personally."
A new tier-nine world was discovered during the attack. Since the alliance couldn’t use Outer World probing devices without disguise, it’s normal some worlds weren’t found.
Du You and two sisters struck, three powerful tier-nine peaks, and this world couldn’t resist. Soon, the entire world was occupied, becoming another territory for Du You.
With a tier-nine world rooted, the situation changed entirely.
After this war, the alliance’s original remaining territory shrank again, nearing just one-tenth. With nearly half the territory lost, including many upper-class losses.
This time, the alliance’s upper class almost couldn’t support anymore. Internal conflicts did not suppress due to immense loss, but instead had the opposite effect—the alliance thoroughly collapsed internally.
"What, following his order to protect others’ territories? Don’t joke, I have no time for that. I have to protect my world, letting them not bother me."
"Exactly, going to die for others, I’m not that stupid."
"You all, you all shouldn’t behave like this, don’t you have a sense of larger perspective?"
Someone previously said disdainfully: "Don’t think we don’t know; you’ve long contacted the other side. Even if we don’t help, you’ll find a chance to surrender directly. Seriously, do you think we are all fools?"
The person was silent as the alliance leader’s face grew increasingly grim.
"Aren’t you abandoning everything, aware of the kind of life those who joined the opposite side lead now?" They know those opponents lost their guilds and territories.
But what can they do? No matter what, they must first preserve their lives. If life is gone, what does dignity matter?
Among these experts are indeed those who valued dignity highly, but after this long fight, they nearly all died, leaving those who placed themselves above all.
Actually, that’s the case—without valuing their lives, how many could reach this stage?
A few people cast a glance at the leader silently and closed their mouths, after all, the leader was also an expert. But some didn’t care; though the leader was tier-eight peak, they weren’t too far behind.
Not to mention those also tier-eight peak; even for late tier-eight, the leader couldn’t affect them. If fighting, they might not be the leader’s match, but killing them was nearly impossible.
Tier-eight experts all have some life-preserving means. Besides, here is the native world—would he dare to fight?
"Better worry about yourself; your world is on the frontline’s edge—maybe you’re next."
Someone said disdainfully, turning around and leaving. Then the crowd, as if infected, left more and more. Few remained, weak ones seeking protection.
The others started seeking their paths, without wasting time here.
"You, you bastards, you should all be wiped out by the opposite side." The leader smashed the massive table into powder, eyes ablaze with fury, but he had no choice.
His power was strong but could not rival many combined against him. And if they fought fiercely, the opposite side would be thrilled, possibly even secretly attacking him.
