Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 859

Chapter 859: Simulated Assault On The Infallible City (1)
Sanada didn’t give more instructions.

He simply hid and hovered in the void, overseeing all ten cities at an appropriate height.

The old terrorist leader left it to his commanders to determine the optimal timing for launching their attacks on other cities, ensuring they aligned with the diversion created by the Valenzia Strike Force.

Cobra and the others fought with everything they had, refusing to let the heroes, titled adventurers, champions, and their elite guards gain even an inch, despite being outnumbered nearly four-to-one in commander-level combatants.

With extremely competent WAA agents from various regions attacking, a few hidden powerhouses with the rank of squadron captain stepped forward to hold them back.

Naturally, Ian, Seira, and Harry each engaged a hero in a duel, though Harry appeared to be falling at a slight disadvantage compared to the other two.

Vice Commander Izanagi, in particular, was making quick work of his opponent from the Phaskalda region.

A minute hasn’t even passed.

Yet, the Phaskaldian scout hero was already on the brink of defeat.

Later, a replay would be broadcast for everyone to see, highlighting each unit’s performances.

Soon, black smoke rose from within the other capital cities, signaling to the commanders outside that reinforcements had already been sent to Valenzia.

It was also their cue to launch the attack.

The ground rumbled as a little over a thousand terrorist elites, accompanied by simulated low-ranking raiders from subordinate organizations, charged toward the gates of other regional capitals.

Their numbers ranged from around four thousand in the lower-ranked cities to slightly over ten thousand in higher-ranked ones, such as the capitals of Deltra and Fanfir.

However, the elites comprised less than half of the total attack force, with the majority being cannon fodder raiders.

With the capitals of each region sending a third of their forces to retake Valenzia, they were quickly overwhelmed.

Within the next thirty minutes, the key points—the WAA headquarters, broadcasting stations, city halls, and teleportation formations—were secured by Hadean Varsa.

They then activated ‘Isolate,’ a jamming device created by Sanada that prevented mass teleportation into or out of the city.

While individuals could still teleport in and out, the limit was fifty people per minute.

Any attempt to retake the capitals using mass teleportation would be futile, as fifty men at a time would be quickly overwhelmed and slaughtered like pigs.

Sanada doubted that the WAA had any spare forces to send.

Nevertheless, he implemented this additional security measure to ensure control of the broadcasting stations for as long as necessary—at least until his objectives with them were achieved.

The simulated world plunged into chaos as nine capitals fell into the hands of the terrorists.

The citizens of simulated Yon Augenn began to panic upon hearing the grim news, fearing that their city would be next.

Unlike the probing attack a few months ago, the scale of Hadean Varsa’s assault this time was far larger, leading the citizens to believe they were now aiming for world domination, and with the fall of the nine capitals, it seemed that they were on the brink of victory.

However, Sanada himself knew that this victory was temporary.

It was impossible to simulate the entire world.

He was certain that once the high-ranked adventurers, whose base of operations was in another city, learned that the capital of their region had fallen, they would spring into action.

If that happened, it would only be a matter of time before a retreat was necessary.

A mere twenty thousand elites, along with around fifty thousand cannon fodder, couldn’t possibly withstand the assault of hundreds of thousands of adventurers—could they?

Although the Hadean Varsa elites were among the best in the entire world, they, too, were just humans with limits.

Sanada had a plan to turn the WAA into his allies.

However, since the organization wasn’t entirely mole-free, he couldn’t reveal his plan—even to his most trusted men.

For now, they would have to fight to the death until the final phase of the operation, when Shye would unseal the Black Dragon of Destruction.

After all, it was always better to be prepared for the worst than to rely on external help, which would only make his men complacent and dependent on an unreliable factor.

What if his men expected the WAA to switch sides, only for the governing organization to not follow through?

Their morale would plummet, and their resolve would be shaken.

This was also the reason why Shye didn’t want to reveal his private army to Sanada.

Hence, the fighting continued for now.

The Valenzia Strike Force, under intense assault from the guard elites, heroes, and volunteer high-ranked adventurers of Valenzia, began to show signs of weakness.

Nonetheless, the objectives had already been smoothly achieved and they just had to hold on for as long as they could.

Now, it was time for the climax of the operation: the assault on the once-infallible city of Yon Augenn—a city that had even survived an attack from a monstrous deity.

Due to ‘Detain’ and the eight ‘Isolates’, Yon Augenn now stood alone.

Moments later, the ground quaked as a simulated tide of five hundred thousand monsters, ranging from (C-) to the apex (S) rank, charged at the towering city walls of the world’s capital.

Their spine-chilling roars echoed from afar, growing louder as they drew closer.

It was a harrowing sight of an impending monster apocalypse.

To the untrained eye, that is.

The city guards, who were used to fending off high-ranked monsters, didn’t panic and were able to see through the monster tide’s deceptive exterior.

There were indeed five hundred thousand monsters; however, ninety percent were mere low-ranked cannon fodder, relying solely on their enormous size to intimidate the defenders of the city.

Only around 50,000 to 60,000 monsters were ranked (A-) or higher.

For the city guards, whose abilities ranged from high-emerald to mid-adamantite, such a tide was manageable, though it would undoubtedly keep them occupied for a long while.

Soon, the familiar sight of the Yon Augenn City Guards clashing with the monster tide unfolded, marking the beginning of the end.
