Chapter 1057 - 993: Strategic Deception and False Intelligence
At 2 AM Beijing time, there are 7 days left before the countdown to the national war. At this moment, players from all over the world continue to level up tirelessly, while professional teams also focus on collecting intelligence on the progress of other regions.
The national war battlefield at the European Union’s Divine Punishment City is undoubtedly the focal point of attention worldwide. Perhaps influenced by various rumors concerning the Japan Zone, the European Union Zone, after capturing the Hell Crystal Mine, didn’t hasten to launch further offensives but instead opted for a very prudent method of transporting, akin to ants moving house, to carry the Hell Crystal back to the rear.
After all, even without transport vehicles, a player can carry 10 units of resources, and the Low-level Blazing Angels’ ammunition skills can carry an additional 3 units of resources. With hundreds to nearly a thousand Crusader players from the European Union Zone all mobilizing for transportation, the carrying capacity is quite terrifying.
This, of course, is not what the Japan Zone wants to see. The 15 main team members of the Japan Zone are here to lure the European Union Zone into a trap, not to really let them profit. The Japan Zone cannot afford the time expense.
Therefore, at this moment, several high-level team members from the Japan Zone are in the united chat channel, arguing with the European Union Zone: "Friends from the European Union Zone, you cannot afford to miss the opportunity! If you pursue victory, any losses afterward will be the responsibility of the NPCs, not ours. But if you miss the chance and end this campaign, then we will receive new missions, and failing those missions will drop our reputation, which we cannot afford!"
"Even if we are cooperating, we have our tolerances. If your party doesn’t cooperate, we will immediately return to our zone so that certain individuals stop spreading rumors to destroy our relations, not to mention that our zone has also triggered a national war mission, which we need to return to defend!"
The European Union team immediately tried to persuade and reassure: "Friends from the Japan Zone, we really lack the strength and confidence to launch such a risky attack in such a distant part of Hell, especially considering the players’ current levels aren’t high enough! However, since you mentioned that your zone is about to trigger a national war mission, we can also send people over, or help you through this crisis through our current cooperative methods since this is mutual cooperation!"
The Japan team urgently replied, "We already have an absolute advantage. Even if NPCs trigger the national war mission and invite Bright Alliance players from all over the world, they cannot overturn the situation, not to mention professional teams cannot risk stepping in for such missions, and ordinary players are even less of a match for us. So the mutual cooperation method your zone proposes is unfair to us!"
The European Union team immediately asked, "What if Da Fei showed up?"
The Japan Zone immediately replied, "Impossible! He’s gone to the Eastern World, he can’t come back!"
European Union team: "What if he does come back? He’s an extremely annoying player, capable of annoying your entire zone; do not underestimate his abilities, or his unbelievable world reputation in the NPC world..."
The Japan team replied angrily, "Our zone is not your Divine Punishment City. Even if Da Fei comes, he won’t have any room to play. He’s just a player, nothing special!"
It’s now 3 AM Tokyo time, yet another sleepless night for Igarashi. Igarashi looked anxiously at the chatroom full of arguments.
Just now, Ono Shinichiro reported bad news—Da Fei Guild has reconciled with the Royal Guild. This means Ono Shinichiro’s former "Cancer Plan" becomes meaningless, while releasing a very bad signal—Is Da Fei leading the major guilds in the China Region?
The possibility is very high! It’s quite normal for an overly advanced player to be heavily recruited by major guilds. In other words, the secret alliance action by major guilds in the China Region is entirely to coordinate with Da Fei’s advanced actions?
While Igarashi was anxious, Ono Shinichiro’s message came again.
Ono exclaimed excitedly, "President, finally acquired the latest intelligence at a high price, this information is absolutely reliable!"
Igarashi asked urgently, "Ono-kun, quickly tell!"
Ono excitedly said, "This time, the major guilds in the China Region’s action is a truly joint operation. Chinese players found a passage to the Great Wilderness at the bottom of the Dwarf Prison opened by a fugitive Wine God. Bright Alliance major guilds are using various high-grade wines as quest items to summon the Wine God to enter the Great Wilderness from prison, while the Dragon Slayer Guild of the Dark Alliance is walking in from the Beastman Kingdom side. Currently, Bright Alliance players have discovered a diamond mine in the Great Wilderness—"
At that point, several images were immediately sent, showing the brilliant flashing Rune Tower, the mine under construction, and dense flocks of birdmen in the sky.
At this moment, the entire Mitsubishi Team Command Center was buzzing!
Igarashi, shocked, said, "Such an ambitious move! What’s Da Fei’s role in this?"
Ono frowned, "Not clear, no intelligence indicates Da Fei participated in the major guild’s activities."
Igarashi breathed a huge sigh of relief, "I see! Very good, excellent, Ono-kun you’ve worked hard!"
Ono lamented, "I dared not say I worked hard without collecting information on Da Fei."
Igarashi laughed, "As long as Da Fei continues to act alone, it’s not scary. As for your proposal to support Blood Sea Wave, we researched and found it very feasible, you should implement it."
"Understood!"
Now, it can be basically confirmed that Da Fei’s threat factor is not significant, Igarashi regains some confidence, decisively instructing the teams in negotiation: "Continue to pressure the European Union Zone, we do not accept their cooperation conditions."
"Understood!"
Ono Shinichiro is unaware that the intelligence he purchased at a high price is actually fake intelligence. Although maintaining secrecy on the internet is quite challenging, major guilds can still manage to keep things under wraps if they really want to.
To fool the enemy, first fool your own people. That is, most of the members participating in the activities are strategically fooled by the upper echelons. When your own people believe in the existence of the Wine God, let alone Ono, who had been repeatedly successful in obtaining intelligence before.
At the Star Guild Command Center, tonight Eternal Star is feeling particularly cheerful during the all-nighter. Certainly not because Eternal Star wanted to stay up all night but because he was too excited to sleep.
On the large screen on the wall, the reputation-boosting team organized by Bu Feiyan has already brought five or six members of Da Fei Guild into the instance. With this layer of symbolic meaning, it indicates that Da Fei is very likely to participate in the cross-zone national war. Seeing Da Fei rushing to leave immediately after loading goods at the Lighthouse Islands shows Da Fei is indeed racing against time, making the possibility of him participating even higher.
Witnessing Da Fei’s solitary national war achievements in the European Union Zone, even the reluctant Eternal Star had to admit. For any professional-level expert, achieving his level is probably impossible. As long as Da Fei participates in the battle, the Japan Zone is doomed to suffer. Not to mention this time Da Fei has so many helpers. Just thinking about the Japan Zone’s demise, how thrilling it is!
At this moment, Eternal Star’s friend message pops up, it’s Wuhe Xinglong: "President, please look at the screen, there’s a situation, a large group of NPCs and convoys has arrived at the Teleportation Array in Vine Demon Village!"
Eternal Star hurriedly switches to the large screen and is shocked: "Isn’t this Elorin’s eviction convoy moving factory equipment? Turns out they’ve been traveling for two days to move the factory here!"
Wuhe Xinglong couldn’t help but exclaim: "Boss, getting NPCs to move and carry factory equipment, that ability is similar to moving mountains and overturning seas!"
Eternal Star sighed, "Go talk to the NPCs, accept any quests they offer."
"Got it."
At this moment, the Vine Demon Village Chief, Tachiusu, cordially leads the numerous Vine Demons in dancing and singing welcome for the transport team.
Wuhe Xinglong stepped forward, "Chief, anything I can assist with?"
Tachiusu replied satisfactorily, "Warrior, you’ve helped us repair our shipyard, build our warehouse, and cultivate trees, your abilities are highly appreciated. I think it’s time to introduce such an outstanding warrior to our neighbors in Habbit Village, they need more assistance, so your first task is to help transport this batch of equipment to Habbit Village!"
Wuhe Xinglong asked in surprise, "Is Habbit Village also a subordinate village of Radiant City?"
Tachiusu laughed, "Indeed, Habbit Village is a swamp with many Water Monsters, in dire need of talent like the Warriors."
Wuhe Xinglong stunned for a moment, had to sigh, "Boss, I think I’m quite advanced in the Elf Kingdom, but comparing with others is frustrating."
Eternal Star commented blankly, "You’ll get used to it, consider it as living under a big tree providing shade."
