Chapter 1022 - 961: Troublemakers in the Land of Exile
Exile Land, the legendary Red Name Village of the small National War Zone.
This desolate and dreary ruin once again welcomed the arrival of the Angel Hero Elda. This time, she did not look around or pay attention to the flattering of the red-named players, but instead focused intently on engraving a complex giant array in the village square.
Feeling bored, Brother Hao and the members of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce returned to the pond to fish obediently. The Phoenix Feather remained unaffected by external matters, continuing to sit calmly by the fishing platform as a worldly wise person.
But everyone knows that the appearance of an NPC is bound to trigger new storylines, so they are all patiently waiting for the NPC to finish the array and give further instructions. Of course, there’s nothing else to do in the Red Name Village but to be patient.
But this waiting lasted a full two hours, which is a day in the game, and judging from the pattern of the inscriptions, it seemed far from complete! How long in game time would it take for her to finish it? With such an extensive operation, surely something monumental is about to happen.
Brother Hao, Ono Shinichiro, and several foreign red-named players on site immediately and discreetly reported the situation back to their respective national teams.
As for the Red Name Village, the Japan region wasn’t particularly concerned. Anyway, Ono’s task was to conveniently nurture the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce into stinky red-named trash in the China Region, but Lancelot from the UK paid quite a bit of attention.
The professional teams have already made the judgment that, under the condition that the National War Zone server hasn’t officially been launched, the Red Name Village cannot occupy much server resources. Meaning, no matter how big the actions in the Red Name Village, it’s probably only going to impact when the National War Zone officially opens in 8 days in reality, so there’s no need to overly focus on it now. And judging by Elda’s slow array engraving, it’s clearly preparation for the opening of the National War Suit.
Therefore, the European Union Zone’s current task is to seize the time to collaborate with Japanese region members in the Divine Punishment City to strive for a rapid breakthrough.
Currently, the European Union Zone, especially the British Royal Ark Team, is doing well, advancing under the guidance of Japan region members into the depths of the Volcano Mountain Area and then reaching the outskirts of an underground Crystal Mine.
This was the first task "Repair and Guard the Crystal Mine" chosen by the 15 members from Japan after reaching the European Union Zone, which also shows Japan’s sincerity in aiding the EU Zone’s successful conquest. Once the EU Zone secures this Crystal Mine, it will substantially boost subsequent operations, especially for the Rocket Cannon Blazing Angel operations.
At the same time, it’s also a directive from the Divine Realm to the Crusaders in Divine Punishment City, requiring them to thoroughly secure this mine, which is a typical camp versus camp mission.
At this moment, the Four Countries Team from the EU and the Japan Mitsubishi Team gathered in the chatroom, sharing videos inside and outside of the scene. Seeing the devastation inside the scene, the Four Countries Team was filled with solemnity.
Prince George said in a deep voice, "Is this the Crystal Mine damaged by Da Fei?"
Napoleon exclaimed, "It’s really unimaginable how this Chinese person discovered such a hidden mine without anyone’s guidance and caused such significant damage? It seems we need to reassess his strength!"
Captain Tsukamoto replied, "Da Fei entered from the exhaust channel of the mine, but the high temperature and pressure there are completely intolerable for Bright Creatures, maybe he has complete fire-resistant gear, otherwise, it’s not recommended for your side to imitate. The main force of the Demon Army NPC is currently concentrated at the main entrance and the two emergency exits. I suggest our army set up roadblocks to delay at the main entrance and the second exit, while your forces concentrate on attacking from the first exit..."
Captain Tsukamoto’s tactical explanation was detailed and impeccable. However, out of internal precaution and unease, Prince George still asked, "Why not attack from the second exit?"
Tsukamoto immediately answered, "Because the second exit has the Crystal Boiler Workshop, which could easily cause an explosion and unintentionally harm our allies. We also want to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings."
Prince George laughed heartily, "Let’s not let the malicious intentions of external commentary affect our cooperation, I greatly appreciate your meticulous considerations."
At this time, upon receiving the news from the Red Name Village, Lancelot was even more excited: "Conversely, if the explosion is utilized well, it could also cause large-scale casualties to the Demon Army? Wouldn’t that help us end the battle even faster?"
Tsukamoto answered, "True, but even if we acted as insiders to trigger the boiler, we can’t control the power of the explosion. After all, such matters are uncontrollable for us players. I strongly recommend that we proceed with the more stable first plan."
For a while, the Four Countries Team immediately began a discussion, and meanwhile, at the Mitsubishi Command Center, there was an unnoticed smile on Igarashi’s face.
Soon, the Four Countries Team’s decision emerged from the discussion: "Let’s go with Plan 2, even if there is some collateral damage, it would end the battle faster!"
Igarashi smiled and quietly instructed, "Then let’s let our allies suffer a slight loss of melee forces."
...
Meanwhile, in the Red Name Village. Angel Elda had been working for 3 hours.
During these 3 hours, there were still no new red-named visitors, and regardless of whether it was the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce members of Da Fei, or the foreign red-names, they all appeared calm and composed while fishing. Such calmness under this circumstance clearly isn’t normal.
Phoenix Feather became unsettled. Not for any other reason but being extremely annoyed watching others with an unflappable demeanor as if everything was under control. Phoenix Feather certainly understood their calmness, they believe that since the Red Name Village hasn’t really connected to the National War server, the resources available from the main server are limited, so it can’t cause much trouble. They are prepared to achieve great deeds once the National War Zone opens, right?
To hell with your great deeds! If it’s pleasant for you, then it’s unpleasant for me. Making it unpleasant for you is my pleasure! I will disrupt your plan!
Phoenix Feather picked up a small black fish that was as slippery as a loach and suddenly spoke: "Did I ever mention that eating this little fish in this special scenario temporarily gives you 1 free attribute point?"
Da Bing laughed heartily: "Yo! Wise person from beyond, are you talking to us?"
Phoenix Feather continued: "I also said that the monsters outside the village are strong and can’t be killed, no experience, no drops, right?"
One Sword Eastward chuckled: "Expert, are you trying to say that your attributes are so awesome now, you can blast those monsters outside to bits?"
Phoenix Feather slowly stood up and said calmly: "That’s exactly what I mean, but killing monsters alone without an audience is dull. Dare to come outside the village and be my audience? I promise not to beat you up!" With that, he slowly sauntered toward the village outskirts.
His exit caused an uproar around the fishing pond!
Da Bing scoffed: "Go ahead, kill us if you dare! As if we’d be afraid of you. Come on, let’s all go watch!"
As he said this, Da Bing quickly glanced at Brother Hao, who remained unmoved. Brother Hao was busy fishing while AFK! That’s frustrating, if Brother Hao doesn’t take the lead, how can everyone leave? However, if they don’t follow quickly, it would mean losing face for the Guild, for Brother Fei, and even for Brother Hao.
Da Bing promptly said in front of Brother Hao: "Brother Hao, take your time fishing, we’ll go watch the show off try to act cool!"
Thus, over twenty red-named members of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce immediately followed with a loud roar. The other dozen or so bored foreign red-named players who had been endlessly fishing were more than eager for something to happen, so they also followed along to watch the action.
Under normal circumstances, stepping out of the Red Name Village meant no security and red-names could PK each other to their heart’s content. The foreign red-names, who hadn’t killed anyone in a while, were feeling a bit itchy and eager for action.
At this moment, a red Thunderstorm suddenly struck from the sky, instantly killing a writhing Flesh Beast outside the village, its body engulfed in flames, unable to regenerate or resurrect!
Everyone was dumbfounded by Phoenix Feather’s astonishing damage! How many of those little fish did he eat, and just how high is his Magic Power?
Phoenix Feather was very pleased with the audience’s expression, so he continued advancing into the wilderness, killing instantly all along the way!
No one knew what Phoenix Feather wanted to do, but since they were bored anyway, they continued to tag along. Phoenix Feather himself didn’t know what he wanted to do either, all he knew was that he had to do something, anything, to disrupt the current situation.
Half an hour later, Phoenix Feather and his followers faced a towering mound, atop which stood a gigantic half-human, eight-legged spider, with the upper half of a seductive woman on its back. A Spider Queen? Surely a BOSS!
At the sight of this creature, Phoenix Feather was a bit taken aback, but not daring to act overconfident, he turned back and said: "Would any of you be interested in taking on this BOSS together?"
Da Bing laughed: "Are you not awesome? Go on, attack it!"
Phoenix Feather chuckled lightly: "After all, I can teleport instantly, whether it’s for saving my own skin or luring monsters to harm others, it’s no problem. But as for you guys, you came all this way, do you just want to die here for convenience?"
At this moment, Mario, the Italian red-named player, was the first to speak up: "Life is so boring, let’s go for it!"
A group of foreign red-named players also chuckled: "Let’s see what this monster is capable of!"
Even the foreign players were in, so Da Bing and his crew stopped hesitating. "Let’s go for it," Da Bing shouted. "Prioritize survival and keeping it occupied, don’t just charge in slashing."
The group members immediately responded: "Got it."
Phoenix Feather smiled lightly. Of course, he knew why the foreign red-names were so eager to help, because the forces behind them were all curious about what this Spider Queen was all about. As for the Da Fei Guild, clearly putting in minimal effort, it didn’t matter to him; for a Mage capable of instant teleportation, teammates were just human shields ready to be used at any moment.
Now, with a resounding Thunderstorm, the battle began!
...
At Beijing Time, 3 PM, Da Fei was abruptly awakened from an afternoon nap, compensating for last night’s all-nighter, by a series of system prompts:
—System Prompt: Your Flying has successfully recruited a Lilim soul at the Lilim Camp. Please check the recruitment.
Da Fei suddenly woke up! Damn it, my Lilim Camp has actually started working! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
