Muscular Rabbits Legion: 'No one can escape from the novice village!'-Chapter 163 - 161: Crisis of the Vermilion Bird
Chapter 163 -161: Crisis of the Vermilion Bird
However, on this same day, many players from Vermilion Bird City saw streams of gold light descending from the sky, making the city’s Teleportation Array dazzle with brilliant light!
It was the sight of a great number of players being teleported to Vermilion Bird City!
One by one, players emerged from the Teleportation Array, and none of them were of low Level—all uniformly Level 20!
However, their Equipment was very simple, all wearing Level 1 commoner clothes, and not even one of them had a weapon.
These people were extremely arrogant, their gazes full of aggression and disdain, as if they were moments away from having “looking for trouble” written on their faces!
Upon seeing someone, these players provocatively whistled and even hurled a few insults.
Despite their anger, the players of Vermilion Bird City held back because the other side had greater numbers.
The intruders burst into laughter, loudly proclaiming Vermilion Bird City to be full of trash!
However, they soon left and exited through the southern gate of Vermilion Bird City.
At the same time, the likes of Madman who were gathered together, waiting for the Martial Arts Tournament to begin and entering the venue, also received related news.
“What?! A large group of Level 20 players, all dressed in commoner clothes, appeared in Vermilion Bird City?” Madman exclaimed in shock.
Fang Ling said angrily, “It must be Xun Long and the others!”
Yue Wei said furiously, “Didn’t they say they’d take action against the Rabbits after the Martial Arts Tournament? Why have they started earlier?”
Chen Chuanwen sneered, “It’s simple—they don’t trust us. Or rather, the whole thing was a sham from the beginning!”
Wang Mingchen suggested, “I’m more inclined to believe the latter. The Rabbits just let us off the hook, and then they invite us to join forces against the Rabbits—is that reasonable? Moreover, Evil King’s sudden departure must have also raised their suspicions.”
Wang Mingchen continued to analyze, “If I’m not mistaken, Xun Long and the others never trusted us from the start, and might even believe that we’re in league with the Rabbits. Inviting us to discuss battle plans was just a smokescreen, to deceive us and to deceive the Rabbits, before they set off early to settle things with a final blow.
What I can’t understand is, what does it mean for twenty thousand Level 20 players to come over without wearing any Equipment? Do they really think they can defeat those Rabbits?”
Everyone fell silent, unable to fathom the reason either.
The combat power shown by the Rabbits in the siege battle had been witnessed by Xun Long and the others—all the same, whether it was twenty thousand or two hundred thousand Level 20 players, they would just be sending themselves to the slaughter. So, what was the purpose of these twenty thousand players?
“Damn it, what are these annoying bastards trying to do? Even if we were in cahoots with the Rabbits, what right do they have to cross the border and not even notify us? Do they really think Vermilion Bird City is unguarded?” Iron-Blood cursed angrily.
Chen Chuanwen said, “You’re not wrong—in their eyes, Vermilion Bird City might as well be empty. Even if the three Main Cities are not united, each dominates on its own.
But then look at our Vermilion Bird City, suppressed by the Rabbits for so long, the weakest in strength, and furthermore, completely fragmented. Ladies and gentlemen, if you were Xun Long and his group, would you care about such a disorganized force? Would you be concerned about what they think?”
Everyone fell silent again, Chen Chuanwen’s words were harsh, but it was indeed the harsh truth.
But the people present had all had their moments of glory—how could they tolerate this indignity?
Yu Qing said coldly, “Xu Tiecheng always says we’re just a bunch of nobodies who can only play games. As someone who practices combat and martial arts year-round, he looks down on us. If we don’t stand up for ourselves, we might as well confirm the label of nobodies.”
Zhang Mei, who rarely spoke up, supported Yu Qing for the first time, “We can’t just sit by and do nothing about this. This is our turf, and we can’t let them mess around as they please!”
Shang Han, the usually reticent and cold third leader of the Xin’an Alliance, spoke softly, “If we let this go, they’ll only get worse next time. My opinion is simple—wipe them out!”
Luo Beibei raised her hand, “They’re pushing us too far, I’ll donate a year’s worth of allowance!”
Everyone took a sharp breath. All present had financial backing from tycoons, but they all knew that when it came to real wealth, it was the combat-power-zero, yet money-saving expert Luo Beibei they needed to look at! Her family was the true tycoon—her annual allowance amounted to billions!
As everyone cursed and discussed, Wang Mingchen slapped the table, “I know what they’ve come for!”
All eyes turned toward Wang Mingchen.
Wang Mingchen said, “Two possibilities: one, these twenty thousand people are here to kill the Rabbits, and we just haven’t figured out their methods yet.
Two, their arrival is just a prelude, and they’re planning to extend their hands into Vermilion Bird City!
This is just a probe.”
Everyone felt that although the first possibility existed, it was far less likely than the second.
Wang Mingchen continued, “Although we don’t know their exact purpose, I too agree we should wipe them out. If they are here to kill the Rabbits, it’s as if we are repaying the favor for not having our city broken into. If they’re here to test us, it’s a perfect opportunity to establish our authority by killing them!”
Madman questioned, “Is there a third possibility? What if they are just sacrifices, and if we do something, they’ll have a reason to enter Vermilion Bird City?”
Wang Mingchen replied, “Whether we act or not, they will enter. So, that possibility can be included in the second one. In any case, if we don’t want to bow down and submit, wiping them out is the right move!”
Everyone felt this made sense and then started gathering their forces…
Just then, the door opened, and Evil King walked in. Sitting down next to Wang Mingchen, he stated indifferently, “No need to go, I’ve slaughtered them all!”
“What?!” Everyone looked at Evil King in astonishment.
The Evil King said, “The moment I first laid eyes on Xun Long and his crew, I could see the provocation, contempt, and even greed in their eyes. I knew these guys had set their sights on us. So, I didn’t believe a single word they said. But I knew the time they tossed out was definitely fake, so I had made preparations in advance. As expected, those grandsons showed up early and got slaughtered in one fell swoop. Now they’re stuck at the Resurrection Point, cursing their mothers.”
“Speaking of which, my people have all turned red. Are you guys going to compensate me for that?”
There was a moment of speechlessness among the crowd, and Yu Qing even laughed, “Evil King, though you’re not handsome, what you did was freaking awesome! Are you interested in being my boyfriend?”
Upon hearing this, the Evil King immediately shifted his position, widening the distance from Yu Qing, “Not interested.”
“You…” Yu Qing felt embarrassed, then huffed and glared at him.
Wang Mingchen said, “Well done. Now, we don’t really have a choice left. No one should be idle. If I’m not mistaken, their main force should be arriving soon. I just can’t figure out how they got the money for such expensive mass teleportation!”
“Let’s not dwell on that. Get ready for battle. I think we should send someone to check out the movements in the major cities and gather as much intelligence as possible.
Also, who’s going offline to keep an eye on the forums? I think they should be posting their challenge for Vermilion Bird City soon.” Chen Chuanwen said.
Congxue said, “I’ll go! I don’t think I stand a chance in the rankings anyway. I might as well skip the Martial Arts Tournament and keep watch.”
Then Congxue logged off.

At this moment, Wang Mingchen said, “Folks, one last question, do you really think we can win against them by pooling all our strength together?”
Everyone was taken aback…
After a long silence, Madman said, “One on one, we could give it a go, at least let them know our attitude. But three against one, we stand no chance.”
The crowd fell silent again. Indeed, even if the other side flaunted all of their strength for everyone to see clearly, in the face of absolute power, there was still no chance of winning!
Yue Wei shouted, “So what if we can’t beat them? We just want to make a statement—we won’t submit!”
Young Master Zeng said, “Right, we won’t submit; let’s fight them!”
Chen Chuanwen smiled and said, “Unyielding? What of it? A few of us can stand firm and even get killed back to Level 10 and still be unyielding. But what about other players?
Don’t forget, Vermilion Bird City is different from the other main cities.
Vermilion Bird City was the first city to open upon the game’s launch. Its players come from all over, from everywhere.
People don’t have much sense of belonging to Vermilion Bird City.
The only tie right now is that we are all players from the first and second tests; we share a sense of honor in striving for these early-test players.
But if we get trampled by the open-beta players to the point where we can’t hold up our heads, when our sense of honor is stomped into the mud, how many do you think will be willing to keep getting trampled with us?
The other main cities were opened after the open beta and are basically divided by region. The players from the northwest go to White Tiger City and the cities surrounding it, those from the east go to Azure Dragon City, the north to Xuanwu City…
They are real locals with a strong sense of regional belonging.
In terms of loyalty, we can’t match them.
In terms of combat power, we can’t match them.
Once we are defeated and they start offering olive branches to their fellow locals, how many do you think will continue to follow us?
As for the players from the south who came after the open beta, many were divided among other royal and smaller cities. Even within our own city, their numbers aren’t much less due to the large amount of players from other regions taking up spots.
Moreover, these people haven’t been around us for that long, so the bond isn’t that deep.
Let me give you an analogy: if the men’s football team is to be replaced by another team that made it to the World Cup, and both sides are Huaxia people, who do you think everyone will support?
Don’t look at me, we’re the weak, useless men’s football team.
Why do we always let Rabbit play?
So, once we’re defeated, all that will be left is those of us sitting here.
By then, will they still care whether we surrender or not?
Just call a hundred or so people to block us for half a year, and what can we do once we can go out again after half a year?”
Faced with these stark realities, Young Master Zeng, Yue Wei, and the others fell silent.
The group’s morale quickly plummeted.
It was at this moment that Madman laughed, “Alright, alright, stop making things harder for ourselves. Wang Mingchen, since you brought up this issue but also advocated for a fight, then you must have a plan, right?”
Wang Mingchen said, “You’re laughing so happily, and Old Dog Chen—you’re talking tough, but you’ve got a smile on your face, too. Obviously, you have some ideas as well, right? Why don’t we follow the example of our ancestors and write our thoughts on our palms to see if we’re thinking the same thing?”
