Absolute Death Game-Chapter 531 - 20 The Day of the Decisive Battle
Shortly after the secret meeting, the stand-off between the Ancestral Dragon and the Guild Alliance was suddenly broken, and the previously slowing pace of expansion welcomed an unprecedented storm like the calm before a tempest.
Overnight, all the armies controlled by the Guild Alliance assembled at the border, and almost simultaneously, wars broke out one after another in various cities bordering the Ancestral Dragon. This move by the Alliance seemed to be an attempt to bring down the Ancestral Dragon in one fell swoop from the front.
The fires of war ignited across the regions, with battles erupting everywhere. It seemed as if the Alliance's forces had no intention of conserving their strength, charging madly without pause or leaving any room to breathe. Moreover, they showed complete disregard for casualties, giving the impression that an inexhaustible number of troops followed behind them.
The Ancestral Dragon, with its strategy akin to a suicide mission, was initially thrown into disarray, but as a dominant force in the game, it quickly summoned a large number of troops after the initial panic and fortified the border regions. This was precisely the outcome Xiao Buli had been aiming for—in such a strained situation, many troops near Nine Dragons City were re-deployed elsewhere.
Of course, as the core base of the Ancestral Dragon's power, an elite force remained stationed on Bull Rush Plain. However, unlike the previously impregnable state, while there were still some regular defense troops around, their function was more patrol-oriented than combat-ready.
Xiao Buli made use of the Crystal Ball and the scepter to observe and roam around, getting a clear picture of the internal situation of the Ancestral Dragon.
So, on the morning of the sixth day of full-scale warfare, an NPC army of thirty thousand silently appeared in the dense forest not far from Bull Rush Plain.
Watching the advancing NPC army roll forward, Xiao Buli took a deep breath. Success or failure hinged on this decisive battle. Around him, the upper echelons of the Qingyang Empire had almost all arrived, displaying resolute expressions as they gazed at the impressive scene ahead.

"How is the army's morale? Can they withstand the casualties and maintain their spirits?" Xiao Buli asked.
Han Wenhuan immediately stepped forward, "Rest assured, Boss, these soldiers are all full-star elite troops, their morale is sky-high. Plus, with the boost from our Dragon Flag and the morale layer added by our generals, they won't collapse unless half of them are dead."
Xiao Buli nodded, then turned his attention to He Suoju and others, "How are the preparations on your end? Is the aerial assault squad ready?"
He Suoju and Xiao Ge nodded, "All set. They are elites picked from various guilds, a forty-person team with top-tier equipment. Even Dark Gold level BOSSes could be taken down. As long as they break through to the enemy's front, they'll give them a hard time."
Xiao Buli nodded again, then looked at Lu Xinying and Wu Min'er, who he had also brought back in for this battle. Since it was their first time working with other guilds, Xiao Buli knew he needed his own people for critical tasks to ensure peace of mind, "How about it, is the Stealth Group ready?"
"The two groups we're responsible for are ready, but I don't know about the others," Wu Min'er said. Although she was a woman, she was always the unequivocal leader between her and Lu Xinying.
Xiao Buli nodded, "No worries, as long as you're ready, that's enough. After all, this operation is about casting a wide net, and the more routes that succeed, the greater our chances. The task you're undertaking this time is the most dangerous, so above all, be careful and prioritize preserving your strength." Xiao Buli's voice was soft, ensuring only the three could hear clearly. Whether the operation succeeded or failed, he did not want any of his brothers to suffer mishaps.
After speaking softly, he did his best to ignore the grateful looks in their eyes, lifted his head to look at those sent by other guilds. Although the Qingyang Empire was the main force this time, other guilds had also sent a substantial amount of reinforcements, "The fact that you can stand here today proves your strength. Those taking part in the operation are elite players from various guilds, essentially the cream of the Guild Alliance. The importance of this mission is beyond ordinary, and I believe everyone is aware of it, so I'll spare the excess words. This operation must only succeed—it cannot fail!" Xiao Buli shouted loudly, his voice filled with fervor.
Inspired by his words, the players below shouted in unison, "Yes!"
"Good, gentlemen, strive hard! We move out now!"
Each team had already arranged their action plans and schedules, so once Xiao Buli gestured, the nearly hundred-person team behind him began to move in an orderly fashion.
Lu Xinying and Wu Min'er found a safe place to log off and meet with their Stealth Group. They were the main force for the real-world assault and Xiao Buli's contingency.
Xiao Buli watched as everyone gradually left, then went to a secluded area, tapped the ground with his scepter, and arrived near the Mass Burial Mound by Blackwind Stronghold. Donning Dark Vision, myriad Wandering Ghosts and Wild Spirits immediately appeared before his eyes.
"Come out, it's time for you to play your part," Xiao Buli called out to the air beside him.
Suddenly, from a small cave not far in front of him, a group of raggedly dressed Zombies appeared before him. In their midst, on a chair made of rotten branches, sat a mummy wrapped so extravagantly it was almost exaggerated. Seeing Xiao Buli, the mummy revealed a smile uglier than crying and stuck out a tongue that resembled rotting flesh.
