Chapter 538 - 505: We’re in the City, Brother Fei Rest Assured
Radiant City, howling winds, swarms of Demon Worms flapping in the rampage of the gusts, withering and falling.
Amidst the fierce winds, time seemed to freeze into eternity, one second, two seconds... ten seconds... twenty seconds... thirty seconds...
On the ground of Radiant City, the shattered demon corpses piled up into a bloody muck, and Star’s ground team members scurried through this ankle-deep sludge in pursuit of their enemies!
A flash of gold on the big ship, and the little blonde Nun leveled up!
Only then did Ma Yinglong snap back to his senses, his face filled with incredulity as he exclaimed, "Hey hey hey! She’s been blowing for half a minute now, right? That’s at least a few thousand Mana, right? Where did she get so much Mana from?"
While seeing Ma Yinglong make a fool of himself was a very happy thing, at this moment, Eternal Star was unable to feel happy no matter what!
Eternal Star said woodenly, "Ate that thing, just can’t stop!"
Ma Yinglong chuckled bitterly, "I heard last night that Da Fei’s Vice Hero could blow ships, I thought it was just bragging, now I see it’s genuinely awesome."
Eternal Star chuckled, "I’m saying, after all that blowing, I’m afraid that at least ten or twenty thousand have died, right? You guys still want to continue air-dropping?"
Ma Yinglong sighed, "Once the big mouth starts, it just can’t stop indeed!"
Eternal Star laughed heartily, "Fine, then we’ll happily accept the Experience Boss Ma sent our way!"
Ma Yinglong laughed, "You wish, the bulk of the Experience and Merit was all snatched by Da Fei, you’re just a janitor cleaning up the streets afterward, hahaha!"
Finally, Eternal Star exploded, immediately turning off the video, "Too much nonsense and too noisy, I won’t let you watch the movie!"
Ma Yinglong hastily said, "Hey hey hey! Brother Long... haha!"
.....
A minute later, the rain of insects in the sky finally ceased, those few giant Trolls shrouded in black smoke finally slowly closed their huge mouths and then faded, vanishing from sight.
The battle is over! The troops throughout the city erupted into victorious cheers!
Anlicia excitedly grabbed the little blonde Nun and smothered her with kisses, laughing wildly, "Miss Selvia, you are so amazing! Truly remarkable!"
Selvia disgust shaking her off, desperately wiping her kissed cheeks with her sleeve, and shouted angrily, "Saliva! Put me down! I’m going to scream harassment!"
Anlicia gently set her down, cooing with a flirty smile, "Miss Selvia, to express our gratitude, is there anything that this Vice City Lord can help with?"
Selvia replied coolly, "I would ask our Vice City Lord to be more composed, it was but a probing attack, no need to lose oneself over it!"
Anlicia coughed dryly and chuckled, "Still, this is the first victory since this Vice City Lord took office, and the Kingdom is watching, it’s quite significant!"
Selvia replied coldly, "Significance? Can you eat it?"
Anlicia laughed, "What do you think? With the Vice City Lord’s inaugural victory, the Kingdom’s confidence in me will soar, they’ll give me whatever I ask for after this."
Selvia snorted and said no more.
Deirdre, however, chuckled, "Vice City Lord, actually, Miss Selvia has always wanted to equip a set for the Artillery Emperor Army on the ship—"
Selvia immediately interrupted, "Shut up, shut up! Don’t say it!"
Anlicia burst into laughter, "Such a small matter, why be so formal with this Vice City Lord? Easy, too easy! Rest assured, Miss Selvia!"
Meanwhile, at Star Command Center, all members were solemn.
Although they won the first battle, no one felt like celebrating. That’s right, if one didn’t earn more Merit than Da Fei’s Vice Hero, then everyone would indeed be what Ma Yinglong called, Da Fei’s underlings.
But Eternal Star still had the greatest hope, he grimly said, "Tianlan Star, do everything you can to capture Da Fei."
This was serious, and Tianlan Star broke into a cold sweat, "Understood!"
Bu Feiyan then asked, "President, what if Da Fei escapes?"
Eternal Star’s face darkened. Indeed, as the head of a professional team, this question couldn’t have been overlooked. In fact, before learning that Da Fei was wanted, he had considered what to do if he couldn’t squeeze out Da Fei, the City Lord.
If you can’t squeeze them out, work together!
Any mature team organization couldn’t possibly have a fight to the death every time, like Star and Dragon Slayer, there’s competition, as well as cooperation. But that’s only with Dragon Slayer, and only someone as significant as Dragon Slayer had the qualifications to work with themselves. But what was Da Fei? Just an individual player, a nouveau riche trash who rose through cheating and deceiving! Working with him would directly tarnish the image and grade of Star.
So, the thing Eternal Star least wanted to think about was the issue of cooperating with Da Fei. But the World Tree is related to the foundation of the Elf Kingdom, to the very foundation of Star, and Star had no choice but to help, whether willing or unwilling. Could Eternal Star really abandon everything in a fit of rage, and let his vast enterprise be buried alongside an ordinary player like Da Fei? Ma Yinglong mockingly called himself a wage earner for Da Fei, wasn’t this a wicked hope that Star wouldn’t take action?
It’s very complex, extremely complex!
With a long sigh, Eternal Star said, "Little Deng, please reply to Da Fei or just send him a few pictures of the city’s great victory, tell him that with us here, the city is fine, let him rest assured!"
— Ah pfft! Bu Feiyan almost couldn’t hold back her laughter: "Got it, I’m going to take pictures now!"
Eternal Star helplessly looked at Old Jiang beside him and sighed, "If you guys want to laugh, then laugh!"
For a moment, the whole command center burst into laughter.
Indeed, "Letting Da Fei rest assured" is Eternal Star’s ultimate skill in being a person as well as a ghost. If Da Fei really rests assured, he would not take desperate actions to escape, creating more favorable conditions for Tianlan Star to succeed. That’s playing the ghost. If Da Fei ultimately runs away and Eternal Star’s plans fail, but Star has helped him defend the city, what more could he ask for? That’s playing the person.
...
Meanwhile, in the Divine Domain Space.
Da Fei, anxiously waiting for the scene to refresh, suddenly received a message. Da Fei quickly opened it—it’s the Goddess!
Bu Feiyan laughed and said: "Brother Fei! Just now, the Demon Race suddenly launched a surprise airborne attack on us, but Brother Fei’s beautiful Vice Hero showed great prowess, easily defending the city. Do you want to see the video?"
Da Fei, thrilled, nodded over and over: "I want to see, I want to see! Thank you, Goddess!"
"Receive it!"
"Okay, okay!"
The video was short, about a minute, but from the first second of the video, Da Fei was stunned by the imposing drop-in of the Demon Race! How many soldiers would it take to defend against that? Then Da Fei saw Selvia’s endless hurricane!
In that moment, Da Fei was moved to tears! My dear Selvia, all the care I’ve given you wasn’t in vain! In that brief minute, Selvia gained two levels, which means the rest of my darlings should at least rake in one level of experience, right?
Ha ha! Wahaha! Da Fei laughed until he peed, peeing from beginning to end for a minute! Life truly has its own delights, it’s not about personally defeating a god or recruiting a BOSS to feel awesome, watching your beloved ones manage on their own is equally thrilling!
Bu Feiyan sent another picture: "Brother Fei, look at your streets, what a mess! Our team members are helping you clean it up, alright? It’s all for the Kingdom, for the Alliance, so you don’t have to thank us!"
Haha! Wahaha, Star has so many good people!
Da Fei exclaimed excitedly: "What are you saying, Goddess? I am truly grateful! Once I’ve recovered, I must show my appreciation."
Bu Feiyan laughed: "Oh my, how could we possibly accept that? Alright, we still have tasks here. Anyway, Brother Fei, take your time raising funds. With us here, you don’t have to worry."
An elite professional team’s one soldier could be worth ten ordinary players, what could I possibly worry about! Da Fei said emotionally: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
After ending the conversation with the Goddess, Da Fei felt incredibly relieved and confident! The Demon Race’s pollution didn’t work, the water assault didn’t work, even the airborne attack didn’t work; what other tricks do they have? My Radiant City is solid as a rock! So, still unsatisfied, he watched the defense video a few more times, laughing foolishly each time.
Great! So great, now that I have no worries, Skyshattering Thunder, I can focus on dealing with you!
...
On the shores of the Pool of Radiance, at the Demon Camp square.
Amidst the rising blood fog, the Execution Officer Nakasha returned from the battlefield. Lei Huolong and others immediately approached with respectful greetings.
However, not knowing what to say, the atmosphere was solemn for a moment.
Nakasha said in a heavy tone: "Although this attack failed, we also successfully gauged the strength of the Elves, which is very strong! Actually, this is not a bad thing for us, because Lord Demon King has no patience or interest in weak enemies. If we cannot defeat a weak enemy after a prolonged siege, we could not bear the wrath of the Demon King. But now the situation is different, the death of Military Governor Agarlon and the failure of Astaroth’s drop-in have brought us to the serious attention of the Demon King, meaning we can gain more authority, more power!"
Lei Huolong was convinced! This great spider always managed to see the bright side out of bad situations, indisputable indeed. Speaking of which, if Boss Ma was also like him, how pleasant that would be.
Lei Huolong busily replied: "Sir, your words are sensible."
Nakasha added: "Given that the enemy’s strength is greater than anticipated, then the situation on the main battlefield will likely be at a stalemate for a long time. Therefore, we should play to the Hell Race’s advantage of surprise by attacking from the flanks!"
Lei Huolong exclaimed: "The flank?"
Nakasha said in a deep voice: "Exactly! That is to invade the World Tree Space! Before my appointment, I visited the Ancient Tree Space opened by the former Execution Officer Siriel, and there I noticed the Elves’ activities and sensed unstable rifts in the space. This is our best opportunity to invade the World Tree Space. Therefore, I will request the Demon King for a space expert to come decipher it, and you must be ready to embark, your mission will be to scout the route for our invasion forces and even clear the obstacles!"
— System Prompt: Execution Officer Nakasha has issued you the task "Invade the World Tree Space"!
— Task Hint: The World Tree connects multiple spaces; each is an essential component of the World Tree, defended by Elf Armies and powerful native creatures.
