Chapter 335 - 313: The Beheading Squad Loses Control
The news that IronHerat, a main player on the Canadian Iron team, was again eliminated by Da Fei within the first 3 minutes of the game spread immediately, sending shockwaves through the industry! It wasn’t because he was such an amazing player, but because his failure proved that Japan’s opening defeat was no fluke.
In fact, when that Canadian player targeted a Chinese player, he was instructed to stay put and prepare for a decapitation defense, which greatly displeased him. Not to say whether the Japanese inadvertently stepped on some shit and provoked the BOSS of the battlefield, but at the very least, the place where the Japanese player lost was far from himself, and it was very unlikely that trouble would find its way to him, not to mention that there was a Spanish player nearby to coordinate with. Then, the Chinese player started to flee, truly challenging his patience as a professional player. He began to give chase, and then a huge shadow descended from the sky!
Now, the upper echelons of professional teams from around the world had to face a problem they could not ignore but had to confront: this famous Chinese player who had killed a Demigod, this player who had successfully snatched the Flying Banshee Hero during the first National War, these two occurrences of his long-distance precise aerial ambushes—were they due to his long-distance reconnaissance capabilities, or a result of offline player coordination? Or could it be that the rules of this competition allowed him the freedom to commandeer high-end NPCs? The implications of Da Fei’s existence for the future direction of the National War were all too imaginable. That the competition could unearth such a formidable opponent was in line with the original intention of the competition.
In any case, Da Fei was an absolute BOSS-like presence in this battlefield! If not handled properly, this map could become the Chinese’s home ground! A concerted effort was a must.
While the professional teams of various countries were ducking their heads, sharing coordinates and locating each other, the professional players from the China Region used this precious time to march forcefully and converge.
...
Meanwhile, in the ruins of the Ancient City, upon seeing his Canadian comrade collapse in an instant, the Spanish player was petrified and immediately hid inside a house, contracting his forces as much as possible, and resisting stubbornly yet hopelessly with his Professional Level skills.
While Da Fei was sending screenshots to Dragon Scale and Bu Feiyan, he was also messaging the Harem Beauty, with everyone praising and thanking Brother Fei, full of pride and triumph! Right in his moment of pride, a System Prompt suddenly sounded!
——System Prompt: The Stamina of your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle is insufficient, it will disappear soon. It can only be resummoned after its Stamina is fully restored.
Then, everything went dark in front of Da Fei, as he lost contact with the front lines.
——System Prompt: You have lost the vision of the front line and cannot control the actions of Vice Hero Deirdre, her actions will switch to Independent Expedition mode.
Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Damn it! Can you believe the timing of this blackout? This low-level Blood Eagle with only 37 Stamina could only last for 4 or 5 minutes? Isn’t that barely any better than the original Blood Eagle Flute? Damn, damn, damn! There’s an ongoing battle at the front!
What now? Now that he had lost contact with the front, it meant that Deirdre could not follow his command overseas, and she was left to her own devices based on her AI. But how different was her AI from that of a wild monster?
During public beta, Vice Heroes leading troops on Independent Expeditions were usually a mess; even if they didn’t lose the battle, the casualties were unbearable. In other words, the current state of Deirdre, in the hands of these professional players, probably couldn’t expect any good outcomes. Brother Fei had given Deirdre the Supervisor Whip, a treasure that added +100 command points, to lead the expedition; she had taken the Necromancer Dragon and most of Brother Fei’s Forest Goddess units, leaving Brother Fei lacking vision and without much of a Flying Army left, no different from the other participating players. How could Brother Fei continue to fight? Damn it! Those are professional players, with kick-ass skills, and unless it’s a one-hit kill, they can keep fighting even when wounded. Without the advantage of high-tech, what’s the point of fighting?
In the midst of his shock, another message arrived for Da Fei!
Damn it! Can’t you guys send fewer cheat messages? Brother Fei isn’t a god anymore, barely even capable of self-preservation, and now it’s your turn to save Brother Fei!
Da Fei, frustrated, took a look, and again, it was the Harem Beauty!
The Harem Beauty urgently said, "Brother Fei! Why are your troops attacking our soldiers?"
Da Fei was taken aback: "What? Attacking your soldiers?"
The Harem Beauty urgently said, "Yes! That Spanish player has a strong defense, we couldn’t take him down for a long time, and now your Flying Army flew behind us and started attacking our soldiers! We’ve been caught in a pincer attack!"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Indeed, the rules of the game state that anyone other than oneself is the enemy! The supposed alliance was merely in terms of player coordination and understanding, not teaming up! Obviously, the battlefield didn’t permit teaming up. That meant Independently Expeditioning Deirdre, as well as Didi and Lili in the same mode, didn’t care whether the others were Chinese or not—enemies were just for hitting!
Damn it, this is a major screw-up! Now what to do? If he has become the enemy of everyone, finding it hard to protect himself, and has lost control over his ace unit, and there’s no knowing when the Blood Eagle Flute will regain Stamina, could it be that Brother Fei, a great hero, will be stopped here?
Da Fei suddenly remembered the sewer manhole cover he saw earlier with the Flying Eagle! Cities have sewers, right? Could this Ancient City map actually have a sewer mode? Right, Brother Fei would just hide in the sewer. You all won’t find Brother Fei, and by the time your Hero’s Proof is nearly collected, it will also be when Brother Fei’s Blood Eagle has its Stamina back. By then, Brother Fei will reemerge from the manhole and slaughter you, leaving you beaten and overflowing with piss and shit!
Wait! That’s impossible too. Even if the Blood Eagle recovers Stamina, how would Brother Fei know where Deirdre has flown off to? She might even have been wiped out by now?
In the midst of his dilemma, the Harem Beauty sent another message: "Brother Fei! You’ve got to say something! You promised to cover for us, how could you let this happen!"
Da Fei let out a long sigh! Many heroes often can’t overcome the temptation of a beautiful woman. Even if the other side isn’t a beauty, but just an average Jane, Brother Fei wouldn’t stand by idly and do nothing. After all, Brother Fei did have his limits and principles; although very low, it didn’t mean they were nonexistent.
Da Fei could only reply: "I’m sorry, greatness comes at a cost. I had a blast one-shotting people but I also lost control over my troops. Now tell your friend to make a forced retreat, take the route I mentioned earlier, and then reconvene at coordinates (2418,6280). No matter how many soldiers die, just stay alive!"
The Harem Beauty was taken aback: "How could this happen? Alright, I’ll go tell her right away!"
Da Fei shook his head, sending a distressing message to Hemorrhoid Ointment and Goddess: "I’ve got some bad news to tell you. My troops are causing a big mess..."
