Chapter 88: Chapter88-Heavy Losses for World District 616

"Did you see that? Did you see that?! Faustus’s arrowstorm! Hundreds, even thousands, gone with a single shot!"

"Epic! Absolutely epic!"

"Has Faustus inherited the legacy of the ancient Arrow God?! He’s invincible!"

"Unbelievable! Every player’s attacks do only -1 damage—his defense is unbreakable! This isn’t an archer, this is a hexagonal warrior!"

...

[Ding~ The number of surviving players in World District 616 has sharply declined. Combat rating downgraded to SS! Completion rewards increased by 100%!]

Daniel’s lips curved slightly.

Fewer players, same difficulty, and yet the rewards increased.

This meant that if the foreign-world coalition could be subdued, the survivors from District 616 would receive far more than expected.

He glanced at the MC-8848 area; just over ten million players remained fighting.

Enough.

Several Doom Guild members, leading a group of players, quickly approached. At the forefront was Sunborn.

He was drenched in blood, his greatsword still smeared with enemy flesh, yet his eyes burned like flames.

"Guild Leader," he said, bowing respectfully, "the foreign-world players are clearly targeting us."

Daniel nodded slightly.

Being targeted was entirely expected.

If they hadn’t been, it would have been a waste of his reborn advantage.

In fact, it proved that the players of World District 616 had already suppressed the other world districts.

He recalled that the first stage of the Battle of Desperation was Monster Siege.

The monsters would drop points, buffs, and siege equipment needed for the next stage of the event.

Daniel turned to survey the players gathering around him.

"Follow me," he commanded.

He marked the castle’s location on the map, folded it away, and strode forward.

At that moment, a system prompt echoed through the secret realm.

[Secret Realm Announcement: Stage One "Monster Siege" will begin in 60 minutes! Players from all world districts, proceed to your district’s castle and prepare for the siege!]

[Tip: Killing siege monsters grants points, buffs, and siege equipment! Players must take this seriously!]

Buffs...

Daniel’s eyes flashed.

With [Eternal Ring], any temporary buff would become permanent.

This meant that the more monsters he killed during the siege, the stronger he would become.

And those who thought increasing his difficulty was a trap would soon discover that they had instead handed him an incredible gift.

Daniel led hundreds of thousands of players toward the castle.

The wild monsters in the secret realm were as fragile as dried grass before him.

Each drawn arrow felled dozens, and each arrowstorm cleared vast swaths.

The players following him didn’t even need to attack—they simply collected the dropped materials.

It was as if a war god carved a path of slaughter ahead, and behind him marched a group of loot-gathering attendants.

When the towering castle finally came into view, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had returned from the gates of hell.

Players arrived from all directions, clothes torn and bodies wounded.

Some had HP near zero, unable to use potions due to negative debuffs, and most had damaged or missing equipment.

But when they saw the flag flying atop the castle walls, each exhaled in unison.

Finally.

Daniel stood atop the walls, opening the area panel.

[Current surviving players in World District 616: 188,100,000.]

From over a billion, more than 800 million players had already fallen—and the first stage had only just begun.

The losses were staggering.

Daniel closed the panel, expression impassive, and walked toward the Lord’s Manor.

Within the manor stood a massive stone stele, forged from a dark-golden, unknown metal.

Its surface was etched with intricate runes that emitted a faint glow.

[Lord’s Stele]

The binder gains full control of the castle—operating siege equipment, opening or closing gates, and deploying guards.

If the binder dies, the castle falls.

Daniel placed his right hand on the stele.

"Bind!"

[Ding~ You are attempting to bind the castle. If you die, the castle will fall. Confirm binding?]

"Confirm."

[Ding~ Castle successfully bound. You now possess all control over the castle.]

Daniel withdrew his hand, exhaling slowly.

As long as he survived, World District 616 would not be eliminated by the system.

And with his strength and survival tools... dying would not be easy.

He exited the manor and began organizing defenses in an orderly manner.

"Sunborn, take people to the walls and inspect the siege equipment—trebuchets, ballistae, arrow towers. Activate everything."

"Understood, Guild Leader!"

"Skylight, lead scouts outside the walls to recon the scale and direction of the Monster Siege. Stay safe—avoid unnecessary combat."

"On it!"

"Star Song, set up medical stations inside the castle. All healers, standby."

"Got it!"

"Steel Will, you and your warriors hold the gates. The gates are the first line during the Monster Siege."

"No problem!"

Daniel’s commands flowed like water, each precise and decisive.

He seemed to know every detail of the castle, making optimal decisions without hesitation.

On the walls, trebuchets adjusted angles, ballistae were loaded with massive bolts, and runes atop arrow towers flickered to life.

The gates slowly closed; the heavy iron portcullis dropped with a deafening roar.

In the courtyard, emergency tents had been erected, with potions and bandages neatly arranged.

Warriors checked their weapons and armor, some sharpening blades, some silent, some scanning the horizon.

Everything moved in orderly efficiency.

[Global Live Stream · Faustus Channel]

[Have you noticed how familiar Faustus is with this castle?!]

[Yeah... his operations are so fluid, so steady. I wonder, is Faustus a professional strategist in real life?]

[Strategist my foot, it’s Faustus cheating! Give us justice!]

[Hahaha, we found an interesting twist. Faustus won’t be arrogant for long. District 616 will lose this time!]

[I have a bad feeling... these foreign players probably didn’t prepare a thing!]

"Of course. These idiots not only refuse to back down, they even tried to focus-fire us. We’ll remember this grudge!"

[I’m just waiting to see the fun. The siege monsters will give you a big surprise!!]

[Ding~ The number of surviving players in World District 616 has sharply declined. Combat rating downgraded to A! Completion rewards increased by 1000%!]

Daniel didn’t even raise an eyelid.
