Chapter 351 - 327: The All-Out Attack on the Angry Indian Zone
Under the ruins in the sewer, Lee Min-ho rapidly pursued Da Fei’s trail. Yet his heart was anything but calm.
Humans all have weaknesses, especially in the pitch black, a sense of unease is somewhat inevitable. If it weren’t for Da Fei having passed through earlier, Lee Min-ho would never have chased after so quickly and boldly. What was it that drove him so resolutely forward?
For professional players, the gap in tactics and skills is usually quite small, analyzing an opponent often starts with their personality, which dictates their tactical style. But such analysis usually only applies to professional players. As for amateur players, with their unreliable and unpredictable behavior, how can you analyze them?
Usually, there’s no need to analyze an amateur player’s full-of-holes tactics; they’re just crushed directly. But how do you defeat someone like Da Fei, who not only activated the Divine Artifact but also easily defeated a national team candidate professional player, and has just killed three batches of wild monsters thus securing at least three match buffs? His strength is enough to fill the gap in tactics and skills.
Suddenly, Lee Min-ho remembered the phone call filled with ill intentions from earlier. Under normal circumstances, he would have responded to them with an exhilarating victory, but now, the opponent is just an amateur player. Winning is expected, but what if he loses?
In that instant, Lee Min-ho actually contemplated the possibility of his defeat! As a top professional player in the world, renowned for hardly anything making him angry—a top professional player, no less—he thought of losing? Indeed, confidence is not arrogance, on a tactical level, it was possible that he could lose.
Mainly because of the terrain. The Elf Clan’s troops have a major weakness during the early to mid-game; they lack tank units. Strong tanks only become available at level 5 or 6. Of course, against the Elf Clan’s high-speed, heavy firepower, experts usually don’t need tanks, but in this narrow sewer environment, tanks are essential, and Lee Min-ho’s choice to go into the sewers without tanks is a major concern!
Additionally, this kind of terrain is not conducive to ambushes. Once an encounter happens, it’s a showdown on a narrow path where the brave triumphs; it’s a brawl between two heavyweight boxers with no finesse involved! Can he be confident in a brawl against an opponent who has activated a Divine Artifact? No!
Perhaps there is only one method, the most commonly used by players; to ambush them from behind while they are battling wild monsters! Although it’s ignoble, he can casually say, "I was busy and just finished the job when I encountered him!", anyway, in this chaotic competition rule set, nobody said you can’t ambush.
While pressing on, a new situation appears on Lee Min-ho’s mini-map—hidden Demons! It seems that Da Fei is not omniscient after all and had missed some monsters.
Lee Min-ho suddenly felt a strong urge to fight the wild monsters! Judging from the placement of the corpses from his tracking, it was evident that Da Fei had an easy victory. So Lee Min-ho wanted to fight a wild monster in order to indirectly test Da Fei’s strength. Considering Da Fei would benefit from the absolute critical hits granted by the God of Luck, and himself having more than twice the damage bonus against Demons as the nemesis of demons, it was totally possible to draw a comparison. And it would also buff himself up a bit to increase his odds of winning.
Therefore, Lee Min-ho immediately directed his troops towards the hiding place of the Demons.
.....
At this moment, at the other end of the sewer, the Japanese player Haidao Yigong also entered the sewer.
When the sewer scene appeared on the big screen at the Mitsubishi Command Center, the entire command was shocked!
War isn’t a ring fight where stronger forces always win. War is about using all available resources rationally, giving the side with weaker forces a chance to turn defeat into victory. Without a doubt, this hidden treasury of the sewer is a weight on the War Balance! Not only that, but the rare resources in the treasury can also be sent as competition rewards to the player’s home zones, which can significantly accelerate their progression.
It’s unimaginable how much resources such a high-end map’s treasury contains! In that instant, as the head of the team, Igarashi really wanted to stop entangling with the Chinese and go all out to exploit the sewers!
Just then, someone came up to report: "President, some players from the European Union Zone have accused two Indian players of breaking the game rules by declaring war on them, requesting our judgment!"
Igarashi’s eyebrows twitched: "Indian players?"
"Yes, Wei Tuotian and Da Fantian!"
Tsukamoto immediately said: "These are the official members of the Indian National Team from Sky Dragon Eight Parts, extremely strong, and we don’t have enough members to maintain order now!"
Igarashi angrily said: "Are the Indians deliberately causing trouble? Connect with our American friends immediately, please have them mediate..."
Perhaps there’s no need for mediation anymore, as the Indian players are about to be crippled.
At first, the Indian players, determined to win, indeed noticed several colorful national flags around them and subconsciously regarded them as a disorderly crowd from the European Union Zone. They didn’t take them seriously. Especially Da Fantian, who, upon seeing a European Union player hastily move their troops to clear a path, didn’t consider them a threat at all.
The Indian Zone had a simple goal in coming here. They were not keen on communication and just wanted to see what the Banshee Hero, who they had missed out on before, had grown into. And then, by taking over the Bell Tower and getting some benefits, to take revenge on Da Fei.
But as soon as Da Fantian took over the spot vacated by that European Union player, the surrounding EU players immediately made all sorts of internationally recognized hand gestures, a chorus of multi-nation curses erupting!
It was at this moment that a house in front of the Bell Tower suddenly let loose a volley of arrows, incredibly downing a swath of Indian players’ troops! Of course, this arrow was shot by Fleeting Blossom, who was in a funk and just fired away at anyone who crossed her path!
And this arrow seemed to ignite the fuse of war; players from the European Union Zone immediately began their siege. Although the Indian players were determined to occupy the building and had prepared for the attack, they never expected such a ragtag bunch to be so united. Even more unexpected was the impressive cooperation and skill of these disparate forces! In the end, the Indian player Da Fantian, facing this combined assault from inside and outside, took a heavy loss. Occupying the tower was clearly out of reach, and all they could do was to fight a retreating battle, waiting for reinforcements from headquarters to clear the field. Of course, what they didn’t anticipate was that these EU players had already played the victim and launched an early public opinion offensive.
The sudden chaotic battle outside the Bell Tower filled Fleeting Blossom with hope of victory! What was initially meant to be just a stalling tactic might now hold out until a miracle happened.
As if to confirm Fleeting Blossom’s thoughts, at that moment, the Bell Tower Ghost Dragon which had been perched on the rooftop and idle, sprang into action! It soared and swooped towards Da Fantian, who was in disarray from the retreat! That’s right! He was too preoccupied with the encircling attack and totally failed to notice he was standing right in the middle of the main street!
In an instant, all the players on the scene saw a "surface-to-air missile" trailing a long plume of white smoke as it whistled down from the sky—Boom!!!
"Oh yeah!" The members of the Pirate Alliance couldn’t help but let out a schadenfreude-filled victory cheer! Of course, amidst the cheering, they were once again astounded by Da Fei’s strength! Is there even a need to bring down that Bell Tower? Is there even a point to it?
And Fleeting Blossom was downright screaming with excitement: "Honey! Honey! Go tell Da Fei the good news, telling him sis just helped him take care of one of the tower attackers!"
Little Li scoffed: "What’s it got to do with you?! It was obviously the computer striking on its own!"
Little Fang laughed and said: "How’s it got nothing to do with me? What about the computer? Even the computer needs my guidance, alright? Sis just knew when to take advantage of the computer’s opportunistic and kicking-while-down nature to dismantle that Indian Asan, enabling the computer to strike successfully, didn’t she?"
Helplessly, Little Li sighed: "Yeah, yeah, Asan has also become someone you ’dismantled’..."
...
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Deirdre has crushed the troops of the Indian Zone player "Da Fantian," securing your victory in battle.
The abrupt news caught Da Fei, who was marching through the sewer, by surprise with joy! Wow, my darling is pretty impressive, huh? Taking another one down! Even if killing now is meaningless, it’s still a shining moment for our nation! Wahahaha!
In high spirits, a message vying for credit from the Harem Beauties arrived: "Brother Fei! We’ve taken down an Indian Asan for you! The situation at the Bell Tower is very chaotic—countries are fighting each other, and maybe we can actually hold it."
Oh? It was them? The foreigners fighting each other, huh? Good! Not bad! Even if I can’t provide coal in snowy weather, adding flowers to the brocade is certainly no problem for me. Da Fei chuckled, "I’m about finished here too, and I’ll come to the rescue soon."
"Alright, Brother Fei, take your time!"
Da Fei heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling even more at ease. Now the only thing left to do was wait for the cockroach to die—I’ll give it 10 minutes, and I refuse to believe it won’t bite the dust!
...
At the Bangalore City command center in India.
Calls from Japan and the United States demanding accountability left Minister Nehru very displeased! It was clearly the European Union players who attacked first, for goodness sake? How can you believe the rumors of a few idle players and question great India? Didn’t you say you’d join forces against China? That Bell Tower is in Chinese hands; our attacks are in response to the united effort! Those EU players blocking us are the real disrupters of the alliance!
Right, we were indeed planning to clear the field and get rid of those in our way, so what? Even if you’re America, you can’t speak to me like that! We are the great India, not your vassal state like Japan! That Bell Tower, my Indian Zone is determined to claim it!
As Nehru hung up the phone angrily, disastrous news arrived: "Da Fantian has been eliminated by Da Fei’s beheading squad!"
Da Fei! Again, this Da Fei!
Nehru was beside himself with anger and roared: "Members of each group from the Eight Divisions in the Ancient City Ruins, assemble at the Bell Tower for a full assault!" (To be continued.
