"Xu Lang, three players have been captured!" In Dorm 200, Cao Yaxuan exclaimed in shock, looking towards Xu Lang who was playing a game with Xu Xiaomeng.

Everyone who heard this stopped what they were doing.

"They're taking prisoners to interrogate!" Xu Ruyan frowned.

In the past, players either lived or died; they had never truly been captured before.

"Oh no, oh no, now those monsters will know everything." Cao Yaxuan wore a bitter expression.

"Yaxuan, your expression looks like Piggy Junior," Wang Yazhi joked with a laugh.

"What Piggy Junior?" Cao Yaxuan didn't catch on.

Wang Yazhi cleared her throat and imitated Zhu Bajie's voice, saying, "Oh no, oh no, Master has been captured by the monsters, Big Brother, maybe we should just split up and go our separate ways!"

Xu Ruyan and the others were all amused.

Cao Yaxuan rolled her eyes. "You still have the mood to joke around now!"

"The Dorm Survival Game is primarily tower defense, after all. Player intelligence isn't actually that crucial for the monsters," Zhen Lu said with a smile.

"That's true too. No matter who comes, it's just shoot, shoot, shoot!" Cao Yaxuan nodded.

Other players' playstyles were complex, requiring map-running during critical moments, and they were usually busy with collecting resources and Pioneering.

But for Dorm 200, the playstyle was only one.

—Shoot!

"Regardless, it's the monsters' turn now," Zhen Lu said, shaking her head.

After something like this happened, no player would dare stay outside.

And indeed, that was the case. Upon hearing that people had been captured, players swiftly retreated to their dorms.

Large groups of players gathered in the corridors, peering towards the Yellow Sand Army.

"This feeling of waiting for the enemy to come knocking is truly uncomfortable," Li Shuwen sighed lightly on the third-floor corridor.

One dorm with two Sequence Holders, a Blacksmith providing financial support, a Martial Master bringing formidable combat power—this combination would be considered top-tier in any dormitory building. Yet, here in the Mad King Building, they felt like insignificant nobodies.

Having witnessed the terror of the Yellow Sand Army, Li Shuwen genuinely had little confidence in surviving to the next round.

"Ah, it feels like we're about to be opened like a can," Zhu Yan also sighed.

"It's fine, Lang Ge is here. As long as Lang Ge takes action, everything will be alright!" Li Wenwen said optimistically.

Li Shuwen opened his mouth but found himself speechless.

Silly child, he is him, and we are us!

You're not his Tenant. Even if there are shared interests, you don't have the right to say that.

Initially, like other players, Li Shuwen didn't think much of Xu Lang. The Blood Grudge playstyle was too risky.

But ever since Xu Lang obtained his title, that thinking had reversed.

With controllable Blood Grudge concentration, if he were in Xu Lang's shoes, he too would be tempted to try the Blood Grudge playstyle.

...

"This Mad King Building is like a porcupine. With just money, they can attack infinitely. No wonder we haven't seen their military supplies!"

"How do they have so many Turrets? They get 40 extra Turret slots fixed per round."

"And what's the deal with that Xu Lang? Is he the Mad King Building's favorite son?"

In the Rakshasa Country camp's council hall, a group of generals looked at the compiled intelligence in their hands and discussed animatedly.

This side was also worrying.

The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor wore a pensive expression.

It was normal for the Mad King Building to be difficult to conquer. Matters concerning the revival of Rakshasa Country should have this level of difficulty...

The Shared Glory and Shame trait is extremely powerful, but the prerequisite is having 50 player households survive...

Various pieces of information intertwined in the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor's mind, finally forming two words.

—Xu Lang.

"Ahem!"

She coughed twice, suppressing everyone's discussion, and said:

"There's only one real key point to conquering the Mad King Building!"

"And that is Dorm 200!"

"Aside from Dorm 200, the other dorms are not worth worrying about."

A red-haired general said urgently, "We all know that, but the problem is we can't deal with it! As soon as our soldiers approach, they get drawn in!"

The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor glanced at that person calmly and said, "I haven't finished speaking."

The person immediately fell silent.

"For now, if we can't handle Dorm 200, we avoid it!"

"The attraction of Blood Grudge is limited. Some generals can resist it!"

"You are all renowned great generals of Rakshasa Country. I believe you can find that point within yourselves and maintain your original intent!"

After saying this, the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor stopped speaking and swept her gaze over the assembled generals.

The Water Element Commander's eyes flickered, and he said solemnly, "Your meaning is... you want us to go alone to deal with the dormitory building!?"

The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor didn't speak, silently confirming it.

The generals' eyes flickered uncertainly.

There's a saying in Rakshasa Country—a general separated from his army will be bitten to death by wild dogs.

Among those present were many brave individuals, but none were brutes like Azeman.

Having been revived with great difficulty, everyone was actually quite fond of their lives.

"It seems no one is willing to sacrifice for Rakshasa Country," the Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor sighed lightly. "Then let's wait for the others to revive, and we'll discuss it again."

The Water Element Commander slammed the table and roared:

"How long will we have to wait?!"

"And who can guarantee they will definitely revive?!"

"Even if they revive, how pressed for time will we be?!"

"Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor, I died for Rakshasa Country in the first place. Dying once more is of no consequence. I am willing to go to the Mad King Building!"

"Cowards are not worthy of burial in the tombs of Rakshasa Country!"

The blood of the assembled generals was instantly stirred, their fighting spirit ignited, and they all signed up.

The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor smiled. "This attack on the building is merely an attempt. Sending three generals and two sages will suffice. You need not fight to the death, but there is still a possibility you may not return..."

"Then so be it if we don't return!" The Water Element Commander waved his hand, speaking with domineering authority.

White Sand frowned. This matter hadn't been reported to the Queen yet, but everyone seemed to have already decided. She turned to sand and departed, reporting the events here to the Queen.

Some generals saw this, their expressions filled with disdain.

The Rakshasa Kingdom perished under that Queen's rule. No one would like a monarch who oversaw the fall of their country.

...

An hour later, the candidates had been decided. Three generals and two sages were escorted out by the Yellow Sand Army.

"Remember, absolutely do not go to the tenth floor. Just pull out the nails on the lower floors!"

"This is the Calming Potion I prepared for you. Take it now; it will help you resist the desires in your hearts!"

"I will provide cover for you from the shadows!"

"I wish you a triumphant return!"

The Ancient Elegance Royal Advisor presented the potions and her blessings, watching the five stride away. She still had considerable confidence in this operation.

After a moment, she transformed into a black wind and quietly approached the Mad King Building from the side.

The root of the Mad King Building is Dorm 200, and the players' root is their dorm.

She would wait for an opportunity when Xu Lang left the building, to strike with one lethal blow!

Surely Xu Lang's individual combat power can't be that absurd too, right?
