Chapter 481 - 451 The Pool of Radiance Officially Goes to War
At 1 AM, under the escort of a large number of Bloodrose Guild players and NPC armies, Junxiang’s alt’s troops and NPC workers safely arrived at the Pioneer Farm on the outskirts of the Western Wilderness.
Gazing upon the dilapidated walls of the farm, the waist-high weeds scattered across the land, and the roaming groups of wild boars in the forests outside the farm, Da Fei knew that the situation with the farm was probably not just "severely understaffed." It was indeed completely abandoned, wasn’t it?
However, the more abandoned it was, the more reliable the rewards. In any case, with so many players accompanying the escort, things like fixing walls, digging trenches, and renovating houses were not a problem at all. Moreover, some logistics players specifically brought a few trucks of materials and workers along, ready to start construction of Arrow Towers on the spot.
It has to be said that the organizational capabilities and energy of the Bloodrose Guild were truly astonishing! Being an enemy of such an organization was indeed unwise, and Da Fei couldn’t help but be moved. However, sometimes it was just frustrating; it’s not that I wanted to be their enemy, but I offended them, and they regarded me as an enemy!
In any case, let’s talk about future things in the future. Now that Ouling has been sent to a high-end hotel in the city, I don’t need to worry about the farm anymore. Actually, given the presence of players helping out, the Bloodrose Guild probably didn’t intend for a level 4 newbie like myself to worry, did they?
Meanwhile, the Habbit villagers from my main account have quickly built several stilted houses over the lake at the Vortex Space Gate, and the raft transportation team continuously moved food and living utensils over. In short, things here have also gotten on the right track, and we’ve started to get down to the long haul.
In short, both sides are settled. Da Fei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Little Fang also called out through the loudspeaker, "Big brother, it’s 1 o’clock, it’s late, remember to rest!"
Little Li also called out, "Yes, big brother, you have work tomorrow."
Da Fei chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, that’s right, I do have to work tomorrow, everyone needs to get some rest."
That’s right, there are new challenges tomorrow, and I need to conserve my energy and take care of my "dragon" body. With no more concerns, Da Fei logged off, washed up, and went to bed peacefully.
...
At 3 AM, at the Demon Camp near the Pool of Radiance, the level 2 city wall surrounding the Pool of Radiance was completed without alarming the Elf Kingdom, thanks to the full-scale work of two hundred thousand Demon Race workers and technicians, assisted by various Special Soldiers!
— Level 2 City Wall: Defense 150, Durability 20,000. Special skill: Recoil, Damage Reduction against Light Weapons.
Having stayed up around the clock for three days and nights, with bloodshot eyes, Lei Huolong had not yet finished reporting the situation to the boss when the NPC side immediately took action.
The new Execution Officer Nakasha summoned Lei Huolong at once and ordered, "Adventurer, the level 2 city wall is completed. Such a massive project is comparable to the construction of any Miracle Building. This is the power of our Demon Race; this is the will of our Great Demon King! Now, Lord Demon King is impatient to see the results of our tactics, attack, let the moment come for the proud and foolish Elves to tremble in panic! The Pool of Radiance they pride themselves on will become the Pool of Despair that drains their last bit of strength!"
— System Prompt: You have completed the third phase of the Epic Quest "Attack Pool of Radiance" titled "Secret Preparation," and have received rewards: Experience points +1,000,000, Skill Points +3, Command Power +100, Personal Life +20.
System Prompt: Your Epic Quest "Attack Pool of Radiance" has entered Phase 4 "Pool of Despair"!
Task Hint: Your Pool of Radiance strategy has taken the Demon King by surprise. Now, it’s time to show the power of your tactics; achieve the greatest returns with the smallest casualties and lowest investment!
I’ve been waiting for one day, and it’s felt like three days and nights!
Lei Huolong excitedly said, "Yes, my lord. Our Lava Refining Plant has been ready for a long time, and now we can finally pollute! Facing our long-accumulated dark molten sludge, the only thing they can do is to engage us in front of the city walls! We’ll make them taste the meat grinder of our siege engines!"
Nakasha laughed heartily, "Open the gates of all the Lava Refining Plants!!!"
—BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! Amidst the earth-shaking roar of machinery, dozens of waste outlets, each the height of a man, burst open beneath the city walls. Streams of scorching black lava, like black dragons roaring up from the abyssal mire, spewed forth. Black steam rose, and the waters around the lake turned pitch black in an instant. Like a dark curtain, the blackness spread and swallowed the surrounding area, and in less than a minute, all that could be seen was a black sea!
"We’ve succeeded!!!" The entire team from Thunder Fire Dragon Studio cheered and leaped with joy!
Nakasha laughed even louder, "Pollution is always more effective than cleanup! Perhaps, we should look further ahead. When the elves no longer have the power to counter our pollution offensive, we should completely corrupt the World Tree into the Dark Tree. Then, the only choice for the elves will be to cut down their divine World Tree with their own hands!"
Lei Huolong excitedly said, "Lord, you are wise and far-sighted! Our next step indeed focuses on the Refining Plant. If we really have the ability to transform the World Tree, then of course, we cannot let them cut it down!"
Nakasha laughed wildly, "Exactly, but by then, this will be our base for transforming the World Tree. My Spider Demon Army will surge to the surface and leave them at their wit’s end. This place will become the bridgehead for our Demon Army’s invasion of the world above!"
That’s right! Once the Pool of Radiance is taken, this area with its great walls will become the super-perimeter of the stronghold city. This super-city will surely belong to the Dragon Slayer Guild. This is Thunder Fire Dragon’s strategy; this is the hellish strategy of the Dragon Slayer Guild!
Now, Ma Yinglong, who is watching the front-line broadcast live, has finally let out a long sigh of relief: "The battle has finally begun. It’s 3 a.m. now—"
Ma Yinglong browsed through his friend list with interest. Eternal Star, Bu Feiyan, Old Jiang, and other star players all showed as offline with grayed-out names. Ma Yinglong chuckled to himself in surprise, "You guys are sleeping so soundly. Fine! I won’t be the one to miss out. Let’s see who sleeps most soundly tonight and who gets up earliest in the morning!"
Ma Yinglong then messaged Lei Huolong, "You’ve worked hard these past few days, but it’s necessary. We, of the Dragon Slayer Guild, all come from pulling all-nighters in internet cafés. Not staying up for a few days and nights would be embarrassing to call ourselves professional gamers. Now you can rest. Tomorrow is the real fight!"
Lei Huolong responded with enthusiasm, "Boss, rest assured, even without rest, I can still fight a couple of all-nighters! We still have unfinished business. I need to upgrade the walls near the waste outlets to level three. That place will definitely be the main battlefield later, and I won’t leave the enemy any opportunity!"
Ma Yinglong praised, "That’s right, youth is your best asset!"
