On the edge of the era of exile, the rolling white clouds were churning, and Zhuang Buyuan and the others stood on top of the white clouds, staring down.

Although they

"The Manor of the Boss of the Brutal Alliance...... Really in this darkness? ”

"This is what the old turtle was forced to say, he can't lie......"

"But ......"

Looking at this rolling darkness, there is an indescribable sense of crisis in anyone's heart.

It seems that it could be swallowed up by this darkness at any moment.

Humans, and even any living being, are instinctively reluctant to approach this darkness.

"I'll send a war dog in to investigate." With a wave of his hand, Old Brown was already slowly descending into darkness with a giant war dog driven by the soldiers of the manor.

At this moment, all the players who participated in this battle are also waiting with bated breath.

From the beginning of entering the game to the present, it has far exceeded the time previously predicted.

If this is an ordinary game, I'm afraid that all players are already angry and ready to scold their mother.

Whose time is not time? How can anyone let people play the game and then drag it out without starting?

The first batch of players and the second group of players, lined up into two phalanxes, one large and one small, have not yet been opened to control the war dogs, but their perspectives can switch between several viewpoints, one of which is to stand beside the giants of the manor and feel the sense of participation of the "foot man".

Of course, there are only a few lines they can say over and over again, even if they choose to speak, they can't actually change anything.

They watched while discussing on the game's public channel.

"I don't think this place is right!"

"It's weird! I always feel that it is not a good thing! ”

"That old turtle must be lying to us, I think the owner should stew and eat that old turtle!"

"I always feel like it's too dangerous......"

From the beginning of the release of this game, to the four knives going out for a ride in the war dog, to the strong release of "Robbery Squad", and the entry of the second group of players, the large-scale mainstream media has reported almost non-stop.

The debate over whether Anno Craft is a game or reality has also heated up.

And it is increasingly blurring the line between "game" and "reality".

In the game, almost the vast majority of people think that this "game" is real.

They spent a long time interacting with NPCs in the "game", and even made friends with many NPCs, and had friendships, and this sense of substitution made it difficult for them to treat the world as fake.

Not to mention, there is more and more evidence that this "game" must exist somewhere in the world.

And the NPCs in these games must actually exist somewhere.

At this point, they knew that they were just sitting on the other side of the computer, with endless distances in between, and they wouldn't be in danger.

But the darkness felt so bad that they didn't want to take the risk.

Once...... What if they lose?

What happens if the Earth Guardians are all sacrificed?

What if the enemy drove in and wanted to invade the Earth?

As soon as they thought about it, their hearts trembled, and they wanted to turn around and run.

It is conceivable that at this moment, the pressure on people who are really in danger is great.

Finally, Old Brown sent a war dog into the darkness.

At the same time, a dialog box pops up in front of all the players, and they can share their eyes.

Almost at the same time, they all switched out.

And this picture, along with their live broadcast, was recorded by mainstream TV stations and major websites, and spread all over the earth along the network cable and radio waves.

The game screen appears in major news events, this kind of thing, there is nothing else, and I am afraid that the only one who can have this kind of treatment is "Anno Battle".

The remotely controlled War Dog entered the darkness, and within a few seconds, the screen began to jump, and then flashed twice, and the whole picture went black.

Is it all in the dark, or have you lost contact?

Only the players who shared the perspective didn't know, but in the blink of an eye, they were kicked out of the shared perspective.

Now, they knew, and the contact was broken.

"What the hell is this place!" In the game, I don't know how many people are complaining.

And those who started the live broadcast scolded directly: "This old turtle must want to harm us!" Don't be fooled, owner! ”

In this kind of place, the War Giant Dog lost contact in less than 20 seconds after leaving, and the speed of the War Giant Dog was actually very slow at that time, doesn't this mean that after the War Giant Dog entered the darkness, it only had a safe range of about 1,000 meters?

One thousand meters is a very long distance for human beings, and it takes ordinary people to run for several minutes.

But for the War Dog, it's just a distance to accelerate a sprint.

If the signal will be lost in a thousand meters, then their war dogs will die one by one.

If you go into the darkness and you will be cut off immediately, wouldn't you be certain to die?

Even if they have never been on the battlefield, modern people live in the information age, and they already know the importance of information in the eyes and ears, and losing contact is almost equivalent to putting their lives in the hands of others.

So, what exactly is to do now?

On the Internet, some people even launched a voting campaign, and almost 90% of the people chose not to take risks.

Human beings' fear of the dark and the unknown is almost instinctive, and even the keyboard warriors on the Internet are frightened when facing this fear of the unknown.

"Owner, I'll try again." Old Brown Road.

As soon as he raised his hand, two clouds flew out of his side.

A mass of black, a mass of white, is none other than the predator and the cloud mycelium.

They split off and flew into the darkness.

Old Brown closed his eyes and felt it silently.

As the head of the palace, he can share his senses with cloud mycelium.

And at his feet, Da Hei also crouched there looking ahead.

Suddenly, Daikoku let out a sudden bark.

"Wang!"

At the same time, Old Brown also opened his eyes.

His face turned pale.

"Owner's ......"

Zhuang Buyuan's complexion also changed.

The cloud mycelium is the cloud palace, and the cloud palace is the cloud mycelium.

If the cloud hyphae also lose contact......

Will it be that after entering the Cloud Ascending Palace, it will also be cut off from the manor?

Zhuang Buyuan has fought the enemy so many times, and this is the first time that there may be no manor as a backing and no earth as a backing.

"Master, go back.", he shook his head and said, "It's not worth the risk. I know the boss, he's very dangerous and we can't win without backup......"

He paused and said, "I've already felt something." ”

His right fist clenched, then released, and an indescribable numbness and alienation crept through his limbs.

He and everything around him were like a layer of gauze, and they became hazy.

All creatures from the Age of Exile felt this way.

"Time is running out, maybe...... Before we have yet to conquer the darkness, the end of the era is coming. He said.

"I'm going to beg my father to give us some places, at least, I'm already dead without regrets...... ?"

Looking down from the manor's palace, below is the vast land of the manor, which is a lush forest.

There, there are the people he cares about the most.

Tsuba, dit, and a little bit.

There is also a steel gate towering over the Velvet Forest, which leads to the Red Fruit Manor.

And there, there is his father and mother, and there will be his wife and son, as for him......

It doesn't really matter.

The giant cashmere people have always been light on life and death, and they don't have many feelings.

"I just need one spot." Old Rumble.

He only hoped that Luo Luo would survive.

Beside him, several of the Nasun Lyans were silent, like rocks.

"We don't want it." He smiled, "I've eaten all the Age of Exile and eaten the delicacies of the earth, and I have no regrets. ”

"We ...... There are no regrets anymore. Several minions from the Exiled Era shook each other's hands.

"Owner, if there is no accident, our ancestors will be born in Lurong City, remember to find us!"

"If we could see each other again......"

Before the sentimental words of several servants could speak, they were stopped by Zhuang Buyuan.

"Shut up!"

Zhuang looked down not far away.

The darkness was dissipating, and the black fog seemed to be spreading in all directions.

For a moment, Zhuang was not far away and couldn't even tell whether this darkness was the outer part of the "boss's" manor, or because of the arrival of the end of the era.

Zhuang Buyuan's eyes became more and more resolute, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He reached out and manipulated something on his phone, then turned to look at the soldiers behind him.

"This is a war that doesn't belong to you, step aside."

This is a war that belongs to me, for I am the lord of the manor, and they are my companions and servants.

But this war is not yours.

At the same time, an option popped up in front of all the players.

"It's probably a life-and-death war."

"We will face an unknown enemy, and we may have great sacrifices, and I don't even dare to guarantee that after this war, there will be a reward."

"And this time, it's not about protecting our planet."

"This war is not your obligation."

"Here, please make a choice, get out of this fight, or move on."

"Whether it's backwards or forwards, it's a kind of bravery."

"Every one of us could die."

"If we fail, you may be the last line of defense for the planet."

"It's an honor to have fought alongside all of you."

Retreat or fight?

As soon as this choice came out, the whole game, no, the whole world was in an uproar.

"Victory or no reward? If you lose, maybe you will lose a lot? ”

"It's not a question of rewarding or not, it's about trying to get us out of the war."

"How can you hold back? Isn't it a turtle that retreats at this time? The cauldron is still there, believe it or not, it's stewed you! ”

"No, it's not a retreat, and we won't die, but didn't you hear what the owner said? If they fail, we may be the last line of defense for the planet. ”

"We ...... The last guardian of the Earth? No, it won't......"

"But if we all join, wouldn't every extra bit of strength be able to increase the success rate?"

"But what if we fail? Don't put your eggs in one basket. ”

At this time, whether to fight or retreat is no longer as easy to choose as before.

Not to mention these players, everyone on the Internet is also entangled to death.

I never thought that such a heavy topic, one that even touched on the safety of the earth, would suddenly be thrown on their heads.

We're just a group of players, okay, most of us are otaku drinking happy water at home, picking our feet, and eating takeout, okay?

Why should we make this choice?

How do we choose?

Whether it is optimism, pessimism, impulsiveness, or reason, all have their own considerations.

Everyone's heart is tangled.

Gradually, someone finally made a choice.

The war dogs leap out of the crowd, some flying forward, some retreating.

At this moment, Sergeant Tyranny's staff members are also arguing.

What should I do?

Taryn was also silently waiting.

"Sergeant Tyrann, please stand back as ordered by your superiors." Finally, a staff member said.

"Why?" Taryn was stunned.

He didn't want to back down.

He was a warrior, and he had a desire to fight.

Moreover, it is a glorious, sacred battle!

How many years have you not felt this feeling?

Not to mention that he is just a remote manipulator, even if he really wants to go to battle, he will never retreat!

Just as after Zhuang was not far away, the soldiers of the manor did not retreat.

In the end, Zhuang was not far away: "The third, fifth, and seventh teams, please retreat to the manor, if anything happens to us, you are the last line of defense of the manor, the last line of defense of the earth." ”

"The first team, the second team, the fourth team, and the sixth team, please fight side by side with me."

"Old man, please take care of the manor." Zhuang looked at the old dragon man Liang Cang not far away.

"Forgive me." "I'm your guard. ”

"Old man......" Zhuang frowned from a distance, the scales were not from the era of exile, but from other manors, even if the era ended, it would not affect him.

"I'm your bodyguard, and my mission is to protect and teach these four little ones, if you fail, they'll disappear too, what's the point of me living?"

"You're the last lord of the manor!"

In Sergeant Tyrann's War Dog, five people are also arguing about whether to fight or retreat.

"Our combat effectiveness is still far from the first batch of internal test people, why don't we retreat and develop it again?" A player.

"Fight!" Liang Shu said categorically, "I will never abandon my ...... at this time"

He paused, not going on.

"Titan, what about you?" The teammate asks Taryn's opinion again.

"Fight!" Taryn Road.

He disobeyed.
