When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 1066 - 386: Catastrophe Army Established [4k]

"Go."

Ignatius waved his hand.

Watching Heck's departing figure, a smile appeared on his face.

He eagerly anticipated that those friendly with Bai Fu might bring him some surprises during this operation, such as secretly contacting Bai Fu.

...

Under overwhelming propaganda, over time, even ordinary people who had explored the universe knew Ignatius's next step was to attack the remnants of the Apostle Holy City.

"Have you heard? Emperor Ignatius plans to first annihilate the Apostle Holy City, then destroy Bai Fu, and completely unify the entire universe!"

"So badass, if this really happens, doesn't he become the Cosmic Emperor?"

"Definitely, it would be the first time in history that this starry sky truly becomes a unified whole."

"Oh my gosh, does this mean we are witnessing history?"

On the largest network forum of the explored universe, discussions on the topic were constant. Most people believed Ignatius had a good chance of being crowned as the Cosmic Emperor.

The reason they thought this way was, on one hand, because Ignatius's recent achievements were exceptionally outstanding, and on the other hand, the three major cosmic-level civilizations had somewhat stirred the atmosphere during their propaganda.

"Tch~"

Seeing the news, Bai Fu couldn't help but sneer.

Annihilate the Apostle Holy City first, then destroy her, and finally crown himself as the Cosmic Emperor?

Such big talk.

Keep bragging.

When the new version launches and players return, let's see if you're still able to laugh.

Bai Fu quickly set the matter aside and continued with her scheduled tasks.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Imperial Calendar Year 30,005, March 2nd. For most people in the Silent Alliance and the explored universe, this was an ordinary day.

But for Bai Fu, it was an extremely important day.

Because today marked the official launch of the 3.2 version of "Above the Stars"!

As the time reached 10 a.m., waiting players immediately opened the game client.

[Login!]

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Millions of consciousness simultaneously crossed the barriers between virtual and reality, once again descending into the world of "Above the Stars."

"Haha, Digging Girl is back!"

Digging Girl danced with excitement, and other players reacted similarly.

For most players, version 3.2 was the one they had looked forward to the most since entering the game.

The reason is simple: starting with this version, they could officially advance to Catastrophe Level, becoming the backbone of the entire Star Sea.

What kind of radiant spectacle could the Fourth Catastrophe at Catastrophe Level produce?

Just imagining that scenario made players hum with excitement.

At that moment, all players belonging to the Silent Alliance camp received new task notifications.

Clink!

[You have triggered the main task "New Era"]

[Task Introduction: A new era is racing toward us. This is an era of exploration, an era of change, an era that belongs to you and me. Try to embrace this era!]

[Task Objective: Open the Silent Alliance Undying People's contact platform and watch Bai Fu's speech]

[Reward: 500,000 Experience Value]

[Note: Only by completing this task can you trigger subsequent main tasks]

Oh my, the main task arrived so quickly?

Players from the Silent Alliance camp dared not delay and quickly opened the contact platform.

In the platform's homepage live room, Bai Fu was sitting upright, a formal posture indicating that she had important announcements to make.

Indeed, this was the case.

Bai Fu held the live event today for two reasons.

The first was to announce the formation of a Catastrophe Army.

This army was composed of players only, with no NPCs, and would directly follow her commands. Its main future task was to engage in battles against the Ignatius camp, and it was recognized as the Ace Legion within the Silent Alliance.

Being an Ace Legion, of course, it should receive Ace Legion-level treatment.

Bai Fu directly displayed the legion benefits on the screen, including but not limited to fixed salaries, additional bonuses based on task performance, extra allowances based on legion duties, and special permissions based on accumulated combat points.

The dozens of lines instantly shocked players from the Silent Alliance and other players who hadn't yet joined the Silent Alliance but were watching through player broadcasts.

Wow, another Ace Legion composed solely of players, giving players benefits, is this Fufu?

Compared to Fufu, Ignatius seems no better than foul garbage!

Fufu is awesome!

The players cheered, especially those who had recently switched from Ignatius's side to Bai Fu's side, regretting why they hadn't discovered Bai Fu's shining qualities sooner.

Seeing the players so happy, Bai Fu immediately announced the second matter.

Today, we establish the Catastrophe Army here; it is a day of great significance. To commemorate this day, let's hold a celebration event instead of exhausting ourselves... celebrate!

During the event, all items in the official store are at least 10% off; the more you buy, the larger the discount.

No need to spend money, just donate a bit of experience to bring home great items. What are you waiting for? Take action instead of just feeling tempted, place your orders now!

This event instantly stimulated the players' enthusiasm.

Watching her skyrocketing Experience Pool, Bai Fu's face displayed a satisfied smile.

Great, with this, she would soon break through the Life Chasm and enter a new realm.

After a few more days, Bai Fu officially issued a command for the Catastrophe Army formed by players to be stationed in the Apostle Holy City after most players had purchased advanced knowledge.

Go, show everyone what a true catastrophe looks like!

Enormous spaceships sailed from the Silent Alliance's forward exploratory base, piercing spatial barriers, eventually landing in the Apostle Holy City.

The arrival of these spaceships was silent, unnoticed by anyone.

The players were waiting for the right moment.

And this moment soon came.

After sufficient preparation, the new United Fleet organized by the Origins Agreement and the original three cosmic-level civilizations aggressively charged toward the Apostle Holy City.

Although called the United Fleet, this fleet was actually divided into several factions, each of the three cosmic-level civilizations independent, with completely different attack targets.

At this moment, within the fleet led by Titan Industry.

Drano's granddaughter, the powerful illusionist Xue Quan, lightly tapped the conference room table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an opportunity!"

"This time, we must not lag behind others. We must not only avenge Apostle Holy City's previous attack on us, but also seize this opportunity to be the first to uncover Bai Fu's hiding place!"

"If we can catch Bai Fu ahead of everyone else, our status within the Alliance will significantly rise. Then, even standing shoulder to shoulder with Odoacer's group won't be completely impossible!"

Xue Quan's face beamed with confidence and a radiant smile.

Seeing this, Lei Mingdao and others sitting in the corner furrowed their brows.

Damnit, this is truly outrageous!

Titan Industry and Rebirth Empire are clearly of the same tier civilization, yet after all this fuss, Titan Industry directly became Rebirth Empire's lackey.

If forced to be a lackey under circumstances, it might be tolerated, but their leader is content being a lackey, ambitious, and even has dreams.

Embarrassing, truly damned embarrassing!

Lei Mingdao and others regretted it now.

If only they had decisively left Titan Industry back then.

Even if they didn't defect to Bai Fu, establishing their own faction outside would be far better than their current situation.

But saying anything now was meaningless, better to conquer the Apostle Holy City's cathedral in front and complete the primary task of this operation.

"Attack..."

Xue Quan raised her right hand, about to issue the attack command, when a startled voice suddenly echoed from the communication channel.

"Chairman, our launched probes have detected an unknown fleet rapidly approaching us!"

"Unknown fleet? Reinforcements sent by the other cathedrals of Apostle Holy City?" Xue Quan hesitated for a moment, then sneered, "Let them come, since they want to die, let's grant them their wish!"

"Understood!"

Under Xue Quan's command, Titan Industry's fleet launched a fierce attack on the Apostle Holy City's No. 6 cathedral.

They were completely unaware that the rapidly approaching fleet was not from the Apostle Holy City, but rather the Catastrophe Army formed by the players!
