Chapter 1825 1825: Defending the Homeland

"This untrustworthy guy!"

Watching the figure of the evil dragon Morphes leave, Uranus was so angry that he nearly threw the weapon in his hand.

Damn it, a whole bunch of people traveled a long way to Dragon Island, went through so much trouble just to release this bastard, and he didn't even let out a peep before running away. What's going on here?

Uranus had been playing the game for so long and had never experienced such a feeling of helplessness.

As the saying goes, if you endure for a moment, you'll just get angrier; if you take a step back, you'll feel like you're losing out.

Furious, Uranus shouted, "We can't let him get away like this! Chase after him!"

As he said this, a group of people put away their weapons and chased in the direction where Morphes had disappeared.

"We're leaving too!"

Seeing the group that had stolen the BOSS chasing after Morphes, the distant Nine Solitary Spears issued a retreat command to the players of Apocalypse guild.

However, before Nine Solitary Spears's group could run far, a sudden system notification rang in their ears.

System Notification: The evil dragon Morphes has broken the seal, and Sky Dragon City is under attack. You have accepted the city lord task "Defend the Homeland."

[Defend the Homeland]

Task Level: A.

Task Content: Repel the attack of the evil dragon Morphes.

Task Rewards: Main city construction progress +50%. Extra rewards for killing the evil dragon Morphes. If the task fails, the construction progress of Sky Dragon City will be reset to zero.

Task Background: The evil dragon, imprisoned for a thousand years, has finally broken the seal. His wrath threatens to destroy everything in Sky Dragon City.

"Damn!"

Seeing the system notification, Nine Solitary Spears suddenly felt an urge to curse.

Why does Sky Dragon City have to face so many calamities? The game just launched, and it became the first main city to be destroyed by a BOSS; not long after launch, it was again the first main city to be flattened by a BOSS. Now, less than a year into the launch, it's about to be attacked by the evil dragon Morphes. Who did they offend? Can't they pick another main city to wreak havoc on?

As the only player in the national server who could teleport to Sky Dragon City, Nine Solitary Spears's guild had invested countless resources, manpower, and finances into the construction of this main city.

If the BOSS flattened it, all their efforts over the past six months would be wasted. Nine Solitary Spears's mood was simply infuriating.

What he didn't know was that the reason for Dragon Island's sealing was due to the former lord of Sky Dragon City, Long Aotian. Not only the evil dragon Morphes but the entire dragon race had grievances against Sky Dragon City.

If it weren't for the Dragon Emperor Darius being Wang Yu's follower, and Sky Dragon City being an affiliated main Twilight City City, it would be normal for Sky Dragon City to be razed once a month.

Moreover, with Sky Dragon City so close to Dragon Island, even if there were no grudges between them, it was only natural for them to be harassed by such a group of powerful beings. After all, Sky Dragon City benefited greatly by safeguarding the teleportation array to Dragon Island; the system couldn't just sit by and watch players profit without facing consequences.

Even Wang Yu's Harbor City had occasional pirate disturbances; in this world, nothing comes without a cost.

Of course, Nine Solitary Spears knew that complaining was useless. After receiving the news, he immediately issued a command to the players of Apocalypse in the city to defend Sky Dragon City.

As an affiliated main Twilight City City, Sky Dragon City had the obligation to pay taxes to Twilight City every month. Now that Sky Dragon City was in trouble, Twilight City naturally had to step in to protect its little brother.

As the lord of Twilight City, Wang Yu received the system's message at the same time Nine Solitary Spears did.

System Notification: Your affiliated main city, Sky Dragon City, is under attack by the evil dragon Morphes. You have accepted the task [Under Heaven].

[Under Heaven]

Task Level: A.

Task Content: Help defend Sky Dragon City.

Task Rewards: Increase Sky Dragon City's tax cap by +50%. Extra rewards for killing the evil dragon Morphes. If the task fails, Sky Dragon City will lose its affiliation.

Task Background: Under Heaven, all lands belong to the king. As a lord, you have the responsibility and obligation to protect your people.

When Wang Yu received the system notification, he and the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were on their way to a dungeon. Upon seeing the notification, Wang Yu quickly stopped.

"Oh no! This is bad."

Wang Yu exclaimed, "You all go ahead and run the dungeon. I need to head to Sky Dragon City."

"What's wrong?" Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, the Quan Zhen members also halted. Fearless raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it that Nine Solitary Spears guy looking for your help again? This time, you should definitely charge him more."

"It's not…" Wang Yu replied honestly, "Sky Dragon City is being attacked by the dragon race again."

As he spoke, Wang Yu displayed the task that the system had just forced upon him.

"Attacked again?"

Seeing the task that Wang Yu displayed, the Quan Zhen members were left speechless.

"How many times is this now?" Vainglory asked gleefully, "This is the second time, right? After the last time Long Aotian razed the city."

"Bull!" Spring Halo laughed, "Sky Dragon City was also razed once by the Dragon Blood Gun God when the game first launched…"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…" Everyone sighed in unison, "No wonder Nine Spears is so infamous; even the system can't stand him. To play a game at this level is indeed a legendary tale."

"You all go ahead and run the dungeon." Wang Yu waved his hand, "It's just an evil dragon; I'll be back soon."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

As soon as Wang Yu said this, everyone sighed again, "Just an evil dragon… as if it's nothing. Old Bull, can you show the BOSS a little respect?"

Damn it, in any game, monsters with the word "dragon" in their names are extremely formidable, let alone the evil dragon Morphes, who is a BOSS capable of attacking cities.

Yet Wang Yu spoke of it so casually as if it were just a mere insect. Such arrogance was simply infuriating.

What's even more aggravating is that if anyone else had said this, everyone would think they were just bragging. However, when it came from Wang Yu, it sounded completely reasonable and natural…

"We'll go with you."

Seeing Wang Yu turn to leave, Fearless said from the side.

"No need to trouble you guys. I can handle it alone", Wang Yu asserted confidently.

The Dragon Emperor Darius could be considered the strongest among the dragon race. Wang Yu wasn't afraid even of a BOSS of that caliber; a mere evil dragon, whose name didn't sound formidable at all, was nothing to worry about.

"What's this about troubling?" Fearless smiled, "Dungeons can be run anytime, but BOSSes aren't so easily encountered. Besides, you can't just help that bastard Nine Solitary Spears defend the city for free."

Fearless knew Wang Yu fairly well, and with Wang Yu's straightforward nature, he would undoubtedly treat this trip to Sky Dragon City as a task, offering his help to Apocalypse naturally at no cost.

Helping a scoundrel like Nine Solitary Spears for free would indeed be quite unfair.

And who is Fearless? As the notorious leader of the Quan Zhen Sect, he wouldn't let any opportunity to take advantage of Nine Solitary Spears slip by.
