Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing
Chapter 139: Request! Population Increase!

Chapter 139: Request! Population Increase!

The corner of Zhao Yongkang’s eyes twitched viciously. For a while, he didn’t know what to say.

It was important to know that there were also powerful Summoners within the No Retreat Army. But they simply weren’t comparable to Link.

It was like comparing heaven to earth—it seemed as though they were two different professions.

And now, Link had a new guardian beast that would scare off even a Stage Four powerhouse! How was one supposed to play?

‘Cough cough.” Zhao Yongkang coughed and asked, “What Stage is this guardian beast?”

Yang Xuerou thought for a while and then said, “Currently, it’s Stage Five. We are looking for ways to bring his strength back.”

Stage Five!

A group of No Retreat Army soldiers and other people drew in a cold breath at the same time. It was as though they were struck by lightning—their brains buzzed!

Good heavens! We haven’t even seen a Stage Five human powerhouse yet!

Unfallen City actually has a Stage Five monster watching the gate?

Zhao Yongkang was almost petrified on the spot. He didn’t even pay attention to Yang Xuerou’s second sentence.

Exclamations of shock rang out in the crowd at once!

“This is a ... Stage Five monster! Did I hear that right?”

“It should be right. After all, even a Stage Four powerhouse, such as myself, felt that terrifying oppressive force!”

“Using a Stage Five monster to guard the city, City Master Link is too amazing!”

The fear that the people had earlier on had faded. Their hearts were now filled with excitement and exhilaration.

It should be known that, in the previous siege, the one that led the Undead army to attack the No Retreat Army was only a Stage Four, Level 10 Evil General!

Yet, Unfallen City actually had a Stage Five monster guarding the city!

One could only imagine how strong this city was!

The stronger Unfallen City was, the safer the environment would be when they joined. How could the crowd not be excited?

The eyes of a group of No Retreat Army soldiers and others sparkled. They felt secure for the future.

No Retreat Army’s leader—Zhao Yongkang’s fierce eyes shone brightly. He stared at Link—who wore a calm expression at the city battlement—and felt that this young man was unfathomable more and more!

The [Death Judge] mentioned in the last two world announcements should be Link, right? thought Zhao Yongkang silently.

Although their professions were clearly different—one was a Summoner, and one was a Fighter-type profession—Zhao Yongkang had an inexplicable intuition. He believed that he had grasped the key point.

If Link really was the powerful person who had shocked Blue Star again and again, then the No Retreat Army would have made the right choice in joining Unfallen City.

Only such a powerhouse would be able to protect a Pure Land in this apocalypse and continue the human legacy!

“Don’t stand at the door. Let everyone come in,” Link said.

Unfallen City’s city gates quickly opened, and Yang Xuerou hurriedly sent people to prepare a banquet for the No Retreat Army.

Due to Unfallen City’s rapid rise and the early search for a lot of supplies, there was no shortage of food and drinks.

And for these soldiers who would rather die than retreat, the people at Unfallen City respected them a lot. It was believed that both sides would unify very quickly.

“Okay.” Zhao Yongkang nodded and led his people into the city.

The joining of the No Retreat Army and others seemed to have enforced Unfallen City further.

Link looked at the people entering the city one after another, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The most worthless thing in this apocalyptic world was human lives. But in order to survive, the most important thing was also human lives.

Only with a large enough population could Unfallen City rapidly grow in the short term.

Link had long planned to expand Unfallen City to accept more people. Hence, the housing was all prepared.

Soon, a group of civilians had settled down.

As the host, Link entered a large hall together with Zhao Yongkang and other No Retreat Army powerhouses.

Inside the hall, wine and various foods had been set up.

After three rounds of wine, Link noticed that Zhao Yongkang wanted to say something but hesitated. It seemed like there was something he found hard to disclose.

Link narrowed his eyes and asked, “Chief Zhao, is there something you want to say?”

Zhao Yongkang said solemnly, “City Master, since we have joined Unfallen City, we are now your subordinates. You can call me Old Zhao. I do have a request, but it’s a little dangerous. It’s not easy to say.”

“But there’s no harm in saying so,” stated Link calmly.

Zhao Yongkang nodded and continued speaking. “City Master should have heard about it when you came to our rescue previously. A Stage Four powerhouse of my No Retreat Army, Luo Haoyue, was taken away by the Black Dragon Gang. We don’t even know if she’s dead or alive.”

“I wish to ask the City Master to take action—to destroy the Black Dragon Gang completely and to save Luo Haoyue if there’s a chance!”

“But the Black Dragon Gang is related to the G.o.d of Evil. They are a bunch of eccentric lunatics. It’s too difficult and dangerous to want to destroy them...”

At this point in the conversation, Zhao Yongkang said nothing more, which was also to give Link a chance to refuse his request. After all, he was well aware of how terrifying the Black Dragon Gang was. During apocalyptic times, everyone could hardly save themselves. Who would take such a risk for others?

Unexpectedly, Link nodded without hesitation. “No problem. I’ll head to the Black Dragon Gang personally.”

Personally!

Zhao Yongkang and a few No Retreat Army powerhouses were dumbfounded. They had not expected Link to be so decisive!

This said a lot about how important they were to Link. Zhao Yongkang and the few powerhouses’ hearts warmed.

To gain such a wise master, what else could one ask for?

“Thank you, City Master!” Zhao Yongkang suddenly let out a long exhale. “City Master, when you do, please ask us to come along. In the future, if the City Master has any errands, please feel free to order us.”

A few No Retreat Army Stage Four powerhouses nodded. “We are at the City Master’s disposal!”

Looking at the sincere No Retreat Army, Link smiled calmly.

He already had grudges with the Black Dragon Gang, and he had long wanted to destroy the gang completely.

But he previously didn’t have time to take care of it because of the upcoming siege. And later, he was delayed by some things.

Luo Haoyue, according to Link’s memories of his previous life, was an [Insect Summoner].

If he managed to save her, take her in, and cultivate her...

In the next Zerg invasion, Luo Haoyue’s special profession would play a big role.

For these reasons, Link would not refuse this request. Zhao Yongkang and the others’ expressions of loyalty was an unexpected bonus.

...

After the banquet, Link arrived at the City Master’s Hall. He sent out a thought, and the city panel of Unfallen City appeared in front of him.

[Unfallen City]

Grade: First-level main city (Upgradeable)

Population: 66,557 people.

...

The original [Doomsday Online] players in Unfallen City—plus the people brought by Zhao Yongkang—brought Unfallen City’s total population to nearly 70,000.

A population of 100,000 was one of the requirements for leveling to a second-level main city!

After being promoted to a second-level main city, the city would continue to expand and become stronger to better cope with the next Zerg invasion!

It’s time to prepare for the upcoming Zerg invasion, thought Link silently, and he strode out of the City Master’s Hall.
