"What do we do now..."

Hungry Monkey's face, which had initially been excited, suddenly turned ugly, as everyone knew that there was only one, and only one, strongest player on Blue Star, and that was Chen Miao.

In other words, to put it simply.

Chen Miao was almost the entirety of Blue Star's combat power.

Without Chen Miao, Blue Star wouldn't just be a D-class civilization, it probably couldn't even advance to an F-class civilization. Whether it could win its first civilizational war was uncertain, and even if it did win, it was likely to suffer innumerable casualties and wouldn't recover for decades, doomed to obscurity.

In fact, civilizations that could advance to E-class basically overpowered their opponents in their first civilizational war.

Any civilization that managed a narrow victory had no chance of advancing to E-class.

So, every E-class civilization wasn't weak at all; all of them had once overpowered other civilizations at the same level.

Miao had been sent to watch the battle, meaning Blue Star Civilization really had to rely on itself this time.

"What's there to fear?"

Yuan Buping curled his lips and said, "Don't we still have you? You've got nearly 30,000 strength value and 500 million combat power, ranked second in the world. Are you really that unconfident?"

"Who could stand your punch?"

"I'm different from Miao,"

Hungry Monkey shook his head bitterly, "I don't have any AOE (Area of Effect) attack methods. Indeed, no one can stand my punch, probably even the strongest of the opposing civilization would struggle to bear it. But the problem is, I can kill at most a dozen or so with one punch."

"A civilization has at least a hundred million people, right?"

"Even if those hundred million people just stood there and let me hit them, my muscles would dissolve before I could kill that many."

It was like having a million-layered dog head—it was indeed impressive, and even the strongest dragon would be taken down with one hit, but the issue was that it was a single-target attack.

Surrounded by a hundred million super-soldiers, that was indeed an ignoble way to die.

No resistance whatsoever.

All out of blue, and the enemy's numbers hadn't even seemed to decrease.

"Uh..."

Yuan Buping hesitated, "You don't have any AOE attacks at all?"

"Not that I have no AOE at all. Didn't I just say that at most I could kill a dozen or so with one punch? Certainly not like Miao, who can cover the enemy with a hail of bullets and encompass them all."

"So, what do we do?"

"I don't know either!"

Just then—

Elder Bai, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly with a fist to his mouth: "Well... actually, it's quite the opposite for me. I don't have a single single-target skill. It's almost all AOE skills."

"You have AOE?"

Hungry Monkey's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "Forget it. How big can your AOE range possibly be, at most a few hundred thousand people, right? But a civilization has at least a hundred million people."

"Well, about that..."

Elder Bai touched his nose, his muddied pupils shifting, and said a bit awkwardly, "The range might be somewhat large, possibly a bit larger than Miao's..."

As the words fell.

Everyone's eyes focused on Elder Bai, and after a long while, Hungry Monkey said reluctantly, "Elder Bai, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? If your AOE range is bigger than Miao's, then I might as well call you 'brother' from now on and you can be the boss." Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

"No, no, no, it's just the AOE range that's a bit larger, but the damage is definitely far less than Miao's,"

"But I can clear most of the riff-raff, and then you, Hungry Monkey, can take care of the tough ones."

"One of us gets rid of the mobs, the other takes on the boss; there shouldn't be any problem. It's like teaming up for a dungeon raid in a game."

Hungry Monkey didn't deny it further, but after hesitating for a while, he finally said, "If you really can clear most of the riff-raff, leaving the tough ones to me, that's no problem at all."

"Alright, then it's settled."

The plan was quickly decided.

At the same time, the Federal Government also sent a message right away to discuss how to deal with this sudden war. If it wasn't for Chen Miao being allocated to the audience, the Federal Government wouldn't have even bothered to send a message.

An E-class civilization, that's all.

They didn't need to do anything; Miao could just wave his hand and finish them off, and then it would be done.

But now... Miao had become an observer, and that posed some serious problems.

The finalized plan involved the two strongest combat powers of the Federation.

One, the second-ranked Hungry Monkey, and the other, the third-ranked Elder Bai.

These two would be responsible for clearing mobs and dealing with the strong ones, respectively, letting the remaining top-level players cooperate and assist on the side, with other players acting freely. As long as the opposing civilization didn't have wide-range AOE attacks like Miao's, there should be no problem.

But it was just an E-class civilization; they couldn't possibly have someone like Miao.

If they had someone like him, they wouldn't still be stuck at E-class.

...

Aging in people is delayed.

One always realizes one's age suddenly one day, for instance when kids on the street start calling you 'Uncle,' or when your parents begin to look to you for decisions, or when you suddenly fall on hard times and realize you've never had anyone to rely on.

You've always been the one others rely on; you've never even considered relying on someone else.

When you're young, three hours feel like a long time, but when you're old, they feel endless.

During your youth, at the end, the other side always says they can't do it anymore.

In old age, they respond with an 'Eh?' at the end.

And you have no idea what they're 'Eh'-ing at.

Just like the swift passage of three minutes, three hours also fly by in an instant.

The decisive battle... began!

As a blinding white light flashed by, all the players from Blue Star Civilization and Zhukai Civilization appeared on an immense and vast plain, standing on the east and west sides, respective to their civilizations.
