The God's Games

Besides him, many others had also ordered equipment from the World of Eorera.

The first batch of orders exceeded a hundred thousand sets, which was quite an achievement.

For the World of Eorera, this was all pure profit.

As a previous beta tester mentioned, it was hard to tell who was responsible for delivering the equipment.

After placing the order, they received a courier at their door within half a day.

While marveling at the speed of delivery, they were already eager to go online and enter the game.

...

This time, Hanjun also prepared for a new update.

In traditional gaming terms, this is akin to releasing a new expansion.

Given the current storyline, it could be considered the beginning of an entirely new chapter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If the early beta test was about saving Ulon City, now it had escalated to saving the entire World of Eorera.

Hanjun also edited all the scenes related to the main storyline into CG and posted them on the official account, serving as a unique form of promotion.

In the eyes of the beta players, they felt that <<God's Games Online>> was great in every aspect, except for the promotion, which they believed was insufficient.

If it weren't for the players voluntarily helping to promote the game and pushing <<God's Games Online>> into trending topics, it might not have received this much attention.

However, if Hanjun had heard this, he would likely have lamented in front of everyone.

From the very beginning, he had taken on the entire burden of the company.

It had taken considerable effort to hire even one person, and he couldn't just work them to the bone; what if they decided to leave?

He was concerned about the game's development, but when it came to external promotion, he truly felt powerless.

Fortunately, promoting the game's authenticity was relatively easy, quickly drawing the attention from many online users, which contributed to the growing interest.

Overall, all the players were ready, just waiting to enter the game after the update.

They could hardly contain their excitement.

However, they had no idea what would happen once they entered the game, as the night before, the operations commander, Jenlyns, had received reports that the demon army had chosen to attack Ulon City that evening.

Jenlyns's expression turned particularly grim, and he quickly dispatched someone to inform Hanjun and Father Barry.

Right now, all their strength relies on the heroes.

But he also knew that not all heroes would be in Ulon City at this time.

The demon army had chosen their moment to attack cunningly, specifically targeting the time when Ulon City was short on manpower.

The guard sent to inform Hanjun was nearly frightened by the large wolf at Hanjun's door.

After Snowball barked once, Hanjun heard the commotion outside and quickly called for Snowball to stop.

Only then did the guard have the chance to speak.

"Holy Son, the commander sent me to tell you that the demon army has begun preparations to act. He is now gathering personnel to form the first line of defense."

Upon hearing this, Hanjun was momentarily stunned.

It was exactly two o'clock in the morning, and many players, even those who stayed up late, had already gone to sleep by this time.

This meant it was the most vulnerable moment for Ulon City's defenses.

But how did the demon army know this?

Hanjun furrowed his brow; perhaps the God of Darkness had discovered the reason for the heroes' appearance and subsequently informed the demon army, prompting them to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

It seemed the God of Darkness was just like him—professing to be uninvolved but actually participating in many events behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, he couldn't just wake the players up and tell them to log into the game; that would seem somewhat implausible.

Hanjun glanced at Snowball beside him, patting his back, and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Snowball."

After a few days of rest and training, Snowball's level had increased significantly, and his entire physique had grown larger.

Perhaps with Snowball guarding Ulon City, they could hold out until morning when the players would log in.

Meanwhile, the players who were staying up late were astonished to hear about the sudden situation.

They saw flames shooting up at the city gates and heard a multitude of footsteps, instantly understanding what was happening.

The players' first reaction was to quickly log off and call their friends to log in.

A sudden incident in the early morning must be a hidden quest, so of course, they wanted to team up with friends and family to grind for experience.

There would surely be plenty of rewards.

In this way, the players rallied their friends and brought in quite a few allies, who were then assigned to the front lines.

However, Jenlyns did not expect them to take the initiative to attack; instead, he insisted on defense.

As long as they could hold out until the next morning, if Hanjun was indeed correct, a large number of heroes would arrive, and then they would be in a much easier position.

Unfortunately, they hadn't anticipated how difficult this night would be.

This battle, with even fewer numbers, was exceedingly tough.

Not only did Father Barry need to go to the front lines to help with healing, but even Butch, who was supposed to be resting, was patrolling the skies.

Any demon trying to rush in from outside would first have to get past him.

Meanwhile, former Mayor Herman was busy transporting supplies to provide for those on the front lines.

However, many still fell to the demon army, but replacements quickly filled the gaps, resolutely refusing to let any demons slip past them.

Players could respawn after dying, but when NPCs died, they were gone for good.

Thus, the players present made a firm resolve: wherever the danger was greatest, they would go; for the most perilous attacks, they would help defend, even if it meant being resurrected once more.
