Chapter 541 - 507: Luring and Killing Skyshattering Thunder_2
It wasn’t until this moment that a portion of the dwarven prison guards, who remained vigilant at all times, sensed something amiss. They shook their heads vigorously and rubbed their eyes, then immediately pulled out megaphones, opened their mouths wide, but it seemed as though their throats were blocked by something!
"Charge!!!" It was at this moment that Hangeval’s Dwarf Group burst out of the jungle with a unified shout!
The prison guards were petrified, struggling with all their might to raise a hoarse and strained shout: "Get~~up~~"
But even with the megaphones, their raspy voices were completely drowned out by the war cries of the Dwarf Group! The ambush was successful, victory seemed within reach!
What followed was bound to be a one-sided slaughter, and at this point, Da Fei felt somewhat reluctant to witness it. Not for any particular reason, just didn’t want to look.
At that moment, a prison guard who appeared to be an officer threw down his war axe and shouted with all his might: "We surrender! We surrender! Hangeval, assaulting an officer is a capital offense! Please spare them, they all have families, wives, and children!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. Surrender? Were dwarves so quick to give up?
It was at that very moment that Hangeval’s brows furrowed, and he waved his hand, "Take them alive!"
"Big Brother said, take them alive!!!"
Amidst the conversation, the Dwarf Group surged forward, toppling the prison guards to the ground, whether they were awake or unconscious.
Oh my! What a twist! This was truly unexpected! Not sure if he should intervene, Da Fei had Little Fei stay atop a tree branch to watch their conversation.
At this time, Hangeval approached the officer with a cold sneer: "Vali, Warden of the prison layers, I didn’t expect to meet you under such circumstances!"
Panting, Vali said: "Hangeval, listen to me, don’t kill everyone. The charges against you can still be cleared, but once you kill the guards, there will be no turning back for you!"
"Clear the charges?" Hangeval laughed loudly: "Are you saying wait for the Prince to fall? Aren’t you one of the Prince’s men?"
Vali replied in a grave voice: "You and I have one thing in common, we both know too many of the Prince’s secrets, thus, eventually, we will both become the Prince’s sacrifices. Maybe there’s no saving us, but at least our brethren might have a chance, don’t you think?"
Hangeval nodded, "You make sense. Can you hand over the keys to the prison carriage?"
Vali shook his head and sighed, "No problem."
Hangeval waved his hand, "Get them all into the prison carriage!"
The dwarves laughed heartily: "You finally got yours! Let’s switch places for a change!"
Then, Hangeval glanced at the transport vehicle and his eyebrows shot up in surprise, followed by hearty laughter as he entered the forest to meet up with Da Fei.
Da Fei quickly went forward, elated, "Brother! You’re amazing! Even without skills, you can still get the enemy to surrender!"
Hangeval snorted, "Don’t be fooled by his righteousness, as if he’s thinking of his subordinates’ welfare; I know how rich he is, the richer he is, the more afraid he is of dying. And with the situation in the Dwarf Kingdom, there are many who are like weeds swaying with the wind, only a fool would fight to the death."
Da Fei suddenly felt naive! Damn it, society is really complicated; I always thought dwarves were the kind to never surrender and have unyielding loyalty. How come they are now like humans one after another?
Hangeval smiled, "I’ve got good news for you, friend. I just checked their transport vehicle, it’s carrying a payload of 20 units of food and water, an ultra-heavy model. Just a little overloading and you can even take your Forest Spring along."
Da Fei was ecstatic! Holy shit, a transport vehicle that can carry 20 units, that’s a kind of special vehicle players could hardly get! The Prince really has some good stuff!
Hangeval laughed, "Alright, no effort needed for this battle, let’s deal with their main force next, right in this forest! This time I’ll give them another unexpected blow!"
Da Fei laughed, "Great! It’s up to you again, brother, but don’t hold back this time!"
Hangeval nodded, "No problem, I’m going to set up the battlefield."
...
Now, Da Fei had his Blood Eagle circling above the Skyshattering Thunder, still demonstrating his superior skills, incomprehensible even to Da Fei himself, as he bombarded the BOSS.
Da Fei sneered inwardly, "You can only be so awesome, and that’s it. Let me guess, if something goes wrong in the woods, you’d rush back first, right? And you’re likely to take a straight path, aren’t you? Going straight would mean passing by that pool you cleared earlier, right? Do you know that the Water Element BOSS there has been resurrected?"
While Da Fei was smirking to himself, a dwarf came over, "Friend, Big Bro says everything’s ready to start fighting, asked me to tell you!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "Good! Let’s fight!"
...
Star Command Center.
Tianlan Star was chatting idly with the Skyshattering Cannon while skillfully and intermittently taking down monsters.
Just then, a thunderous blare of horns and war cries erupted from the distant woods, the prearranged alarm signal with the Prison Guards! Tianlan Star turned to look and indeed, countless birds took flight from the treetops!
In an instant, Tianlan Star got excited, the Skyshattering Thunder thrilled, and the entire Star Command Center was shaken!
"Da Fei has appeared!"
Before Tianlan Star could react, Skyshattering Cannon bellowed over the voice chat, "Bro, it’s Da Fei! The trash is here, at all costs, just get him within the range of the warrant! His trash account is done for!"
If the Skyshattering Cannon himself said so, what about Eternal Star? Tianlan Star turned anxiously, "Guild Leader?"
Eternal Star could hardly contain his excitement and waved his hand mightily, "At all costs!"
"Got it!" Tianlan Star immediately left dozens of Charging Dwarfs as rearguard to entangle the still-fighting BOSS, with the main force turning back to head for the woods.
The closer they got to the woods, the louder the blaring horns echoed.
Skyshattering Cannon, frenzied as if injected with adrenaline, couldn’t stop chattering, "There are over 200 Prison Guards, the mobile force from the third level of the prison, one of them could take on four or five of these fugitives, holding the line is no problem, then we’ll clamp in from both sides, activate the warrant any moment, and it’s no problem to blast Da Fei on the spot!"
And sure enough, as Da Fei had predicted, the Skyshattering Thunder’s troops, disregarding the BOSS’s pursuit, followed the straight path passing the earlier cleared pool. Right when the main force was clattering across the water, there was a thunderous boom from the surface, and a giant Water Element burst forth!
Such a sudden change shocked everyone present!
"Don’t care! Keep charging!" bellowed Eternal Star, full of excitement!
Without a second thought, Tianlan Star sent dozens of Charging Dwarfs straight at the Water Element to cover the main force’s retreat. But how could these mere level 3 soldiers hold back such a formidable boss creature? So, the Water Element chased them down, bombarding the slow-moving Rune Mages.
At that moment, from a nearby forest came a high-pitched and spirited bugle call, "Slay them all! Hurry, chase them, don’t let the ringleader escape!"
Hearing the bugle, Eternal Star was shaken, and with a grand wave of his hand, "Leave all the slow-moving Rune Mages as rearguard!"
Tianlan Star clenched his teeth, "Understood!"
At that moment, Da Fei, amused by the play being broadcasted through the horns and watching the troop shedding soldiers until only Bear Cavalry and a Magma Dragon at less than half health remained, headed straight for the pocket clearing in the woods, nearly bursting with laughter. Is this the depth of their feud?
They’ve arrived, the battle cries from the woods were earth-shattering, and Tianlan Star didn’t hesitate to lead the last Cavalry troops straight into the channel previously cleared by the Magma Dragon, completely oblivious to the hazy smoke typical in many battlefields enveloping the woods.
As his forces entered the channel, the trees behind them crashed down in unison, creating a blockade that sealed their retreat. In front of them stood a huge Earth Element!
Just then, the earth-shaking horn sound from the woods suddenly ceased, and a voice cackled, "The performance ends here!"
In an instant, the entire Star Command Center fell deathly silent!
