The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

At the same time the Demon King's silhouette faded from the view of those in Dragon Traveling the World, a discussion titled "Demon King Appears on Kao Planet" was rapidly heating up on the official forum of Catastrophe OL.

Initially, a few scattered players made posts claiming to have seen from a distance a figure draped in a black robe while monster hunting in the Nameless Wilderness.

With just a wave of his hand, that figure had slashed down the terrifying Chaos Giant Beast, often accompanied by a formidable Undead Army.

It wasn't long before a keen user on the forum recognized this person's identity.

It was none other than the Monarch of the Great Graveyard—their venerable Lord Demon King!

Unexpectedly, the faction boss himself stepped in to rescue the situation, leaving a group of players blessed by the Demon King both honored and astonished, exclaiming in disbelief.

Soon, more and more witnesses came forward, and the number of posts on the forum exploded—

Professional Tomb Raider: "Guys! I've captured a picture of Lord Demon King!"

Super Seal: "Get out! Who wants to see that bastard, I want to see Sarah! (lustful)"

Rainbow Cheese: "I want Sarah to look at me like she's looking at trash! (lustful)"

Gou Shi: "Unbelievable, brother. (horrified)"

Professional Tomb Raider: "Damn! Where's my photo? It was here just a moment ago?!"

Great Graveyard Mummy Person: "Can anyone with a big brain analyze what it means for the Demon King to appear on Kao Planet at this time?!"

Please Get a Normal Name: "Is analysis needed? The next expansion is definitely unfolding on Kao Planet!"

Go to the Pier and Get Some Seagulls: "Charge, brothers!"

Turtle School Immortal: "Analysis Post: Speculating on Lord Luo Yan's appearance location! Which part of the wilderness is the perfect spot for ambushing the boss!"

The storm from the B01 version update had not yet subsided, and yet another storm had risen among the Catastrophe OL player community.

Some excitedly speculated that the next expansion might likely be set on Kao Planet, focusing on the new round of battles between the Chaotic Forces and the Demon King.

Some smelled opportunity, thinking that the appearance of Lord Luo Yan hinted at an impending war, making it the perfect time to preemptively seize resources and plan for the future.

In no time, a large number of combat profession players began taking action.

[Transfer Announcement], [Kao Planet Strategy Group Recruitment], [Wilderness Hunter Team Formation]... Various posts popped up endlessly.

The entire official forum—from the tactics discussion section to the resource sharing section—became exceptionally lively.

More and more adventurers, undead, skeleton, and ratmen players said their goodbyes to the Gana Continent, which was still recovering peace, carrying their belongings and ambitions, stepping onto the teleportation array heading to the frontlines of Kao Planet.

—Thus began the great migration of battle enthusiasts!

And all of this was precisely what Luo Yan had in mind.

To him, the situation on the Gana Continent had basically stabilized, and allowing large numbers of combat-oriented players to remain there would only waste resources, and might even cause unnecessary conflicts and chaos.

It would be better to guide these energetic, battle-hungry undead legions to Kao Planet.

This desolate and chaotic, war-torn world could not be more fitting for these battle enthusiasts.

And the players, positioned between divine artifacts and Chosen Ones, made them not so easily tempted by the faith of the Flame of Destruction...

...

On the other side, Gana Continent.

The morning sea breeze carried a damp chill across the shallows outside Withered Wood Port, only a few weak rays of sunlight pierced the gray sky, falling on the old lighthouse.

The militia standing on the tower yawned, just about to use his hat to cover his eyes for a nap when he suddenly saw a shadow of sails on the sea.

He was slightly taken aback, then rubbed his eyes and looked back at the sea.

One ship, two ships... twenty ships.

What the hell??

He was completely shocked.

Then he jumped up from his chair, shouting down to the napping Bell Ringer below, and soon the clang of bells echoed around the watchtower.

"What's going on?" asked an elderly man named John, squinting toward the horizon while drying fishing nets, though he couldn't see due to the height.

At this moment, a young sailor ran over from the direction of the dock, excitedly waving his arms and shouting loudly to the people on shore.

"From the east! On the sea! A lot of big ships are coming!"

"Ships?" Old John was taken aback, his face changed slightly, mumbled to himself, "Could it be pirates..."

The adjacent fisherman rolled his eyes.

"Are you stupid?! When do pirates have fleets?!"

Then another person taunted.

"Who would want to rob this godforsaken place?!"

Old John sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

Seems so...

More and more residents flocked to the dock, gathering in a bustling crowd on the shore, gazing out at the distant horizon.

On the sea with the splashing waves, towering black smokestacks slowly revealed enormous and imposing ship silhouettes.

It was the Empire's fleet!

Wide white sails soared high, the raised prows standing like walls on the sea. But most striking were those steam-spewing smokestacks, from a distance resembling a fortress belching wolfish smoke.

"The Empire's flag! Do you see it? That golden eagle!" someone shouted excitedly.

"The Imperial people have finally come? Can we go home now?" An aged woman with a weather-beaten face clutched the arm of the person beside her, eyes full of hope.

"Go home? Do you think the Imperial people will send you back for free?" A dockworker not far away snorted sarcastically, "Beware they're just here to collect taxes."
