Chapter 271: Horrifying Discovery, The Terrifying Tyrant
“What the heck?”
“I don’t understand. Is Tyrant too petty?”
“Helping to defend the city actually gives an ordinary VIP t.i.tle?!”
“Don’t jump to conclusions. There might be other rewards in the event panel.”
Some players defended Tyrant. They all believed that the reward of the event was not as simple as the announcement had made it out to be.
However, when they opened the mission panel, everyone was dumbfounded.

Event Mission: [Protecting the Cold Desolate Dragon City]
Event Content: …
Partic.i.p.ation Requirement: Player of the Order Faction, payment of 1 gold coin.
Event Reward: Ordinary VIP t.i.tle.
Event Time: 48 hours later.
Event Introduction: City Lord of the Cold Desolate Dragon City, Tyrant, requests that you protect his city. After accepting the mission, you will obtain the right to stand on the city wall and kill monsters. However, the premise is that you must pay 1 gold coin to let him know that you are not here to make up the numbers. When you a.s.sist the City Lord of Tyrant in completing the mission, you will become the honorable owner of an ordinary VIP t.i.tle in the Cold Desolate Dragon City!

“d.a.m.n!!!”
When the players reacted, their anger exploded.
“This Tyrant is simply too stingy!”
“d.a.m.n, I’m laughing from anger. This Tyrant is really toxic. He invited us to help him defend the city, but we still have to give him a gold coin. Are you my real father?!”
“Seeing this mission requirement, I really want to hammer that guy!”
“I’m so angry that I can’t speak!”
“Let him posture. I want to see how this kid will defend the city alone!”
“Serves him right if he dies!”
The players cursed crazily. Originally, a portion of them were still considering whether to help Tyrant defend the city. Now, there was no need to consider. Only a fool would help him pay a gold coin!
…
“Boss, is this Tyrant crazy? He dares to publish such an event?”
In Cold Desolate Dragon City, an archer player was talking to another swordsman player. They were the higher-ups of the Fire Beacon Guild. When they heard this announcement, the Archer player behind them frowned.
“No, that just means that his mind is very clear.”
Fire Beacon shook his head and smiled meaningfully, “The reason why he dared to issue such a condition is to show that he is confident in killing the two Bosses.”
“What do you mean?” The Archer player beside was even more confused, “Even if he’s confident, what has this got to do with making such an event announcement?”
He really did not understand. Now that the Cold Desolate Dragon City was facing the problem of the monsters attacking the city, Tyrant should fight for the other players to join. After all, most of the monsters attacking the city were monsters. Their numbers were very large, and it was definitely not something a player could deal with.
But why did Tyrant do this?
How were the two related?
While he was confused, the player called Fire Beacon continued, “Tyrant made such an announcement to tell us that even without our help, he can solve all the problems alone.”
“If that’s true, then us large guilds have to fight for this spot!”
“Because the city defense of the Cold Desolate Dragon City is very powerful, ordinary monsters can’t break through the defense of this city. Therefore, as long as we join the defense battle, we can stand on the city wall and kill the monsters that attack the city in the safest and most relaxed manner!”
“A large city like the Cold Desolate Dragon City will face many monsters, so this is a chance for us to quickly level up.”
“Oh! I understand now. Tyrant is playing hard to get!”
The Archer player nodded and said, “It seems that he doesn’t need the help of us players to make such a confident statement, but he’s actually using the benefits to force us to partic.i.p.ate!”
“Right now, the guilds of Iron Skull City are competing for the second City Creation Token. Be it obtaining the City Creation Token or building the main city, we need powerful strength. Therefore, we cannot give up this opportunity to level up!”
“Tyrant saw this and used this method to ‘inform’ us. Moreover, he set the cost of 1 gold coin. In this way, he can obtain a large amount of gold coins while getting free helpers!”
Hearing these explanations, the surrounding players’ eyes widened.
Heavens!
How could he have thought of such a strange plan?
The higher-ups of the guild were stunned. They had always thought that Tyrant was only pretending to be confident, but in the end, he had hidden many schemes in just a few words. He was simply a demon in disguise!
“No, that gold coin actually has another use!”
At this moment, Fire Beacon continued to shake his head and smile, “The main purpose of that gold coin is to eliminate the solo players. This way, there will be enough monsters to provide to the players who are willing to partic.i.p.ate in the war.”
“To be precise, Tyrant’s initial goal was actually us, these large guilds. All of his designs were targeted at us. This is the most brilliant aspect, because only the players of large guilds have enough combat strength. Only us guild elites can provide combat strength for the Cold Desolate Dragon City at this stage!”
“What? Even this is a scheme?!”
“This guy is too terrifying!”
“One plan after another, Tyrant is too terrifying…”
“Is there still trust between people?”
“My intelligence is not enough!”
“Boss, according to you, we have to partic.i.p.ate, but what if Tyrant is really just acting?” The Archer player asked.
Hearing this question, Fire Beacon smiled again and asked, “Even if Tyrant is lying, can you sit back and do nothing?”
With that, Fire Beacon walked towards the City Lord’s area.
The Archer player thought about it and realized that he had to partic.i.p.ate.
The reason was very simple, and that was to avoid accidents. If Tyrant really had the strength to deal with the two Bosses, the guilds that partic.i.p.ated in this war would obtain a huge level advantage. Moreover, they might be on good terms with Tyrant and even obtain some benefits in the Cold Desolate Dragon City.
Therefore, no matter the result, as long as one could not determine if Tyrant could defeat the two Bosses, they had to partic.i.p.ate. This would result in the least losses and the greatest benefits!
Thinking of this, the higher-ups of the Fire Beacon Guild s.h.i.+vered and felt that Tyrant was too monstrous.
