Chapter 559 - 525 The Final Assault Begins
Star Command Center, various orders to recall personnel to the city were being issued quickly and frequently.
Farolan World Tree Square, the teleportation array’s light sparkled as Star team members who were busy leveling up and completing tasks in the field hurriedly returned to stand by.
At this moment, in the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, the magic maps on the walls and tables were fully activated, and all the command personnel were tense, with the sound of order reports and dispatches filling the air constantly.
"Report to the elder, a unit suspected to be the Demon God’s avatar has appeared at the Pool of Radiance!"
"Report to the elder, the Pool of Radiance has detected another large-scale space teleportation from the Demon Race!"
"Report to the elder, emergency magic transmission news from Suvalna Fortress in the New World, the main force of the Demon Army Blood Abyss Demons in front of Suvalna Fortress has suddenly moved and disappeared! The General Staff Department should be prepared for defense!"
"Suvalna Fortress!" The Great Elder was involuntarily startled!
At the same time, Eternal Star and others in the command center also had a change of expression! As a high-end team that participated in the beta test, they certainly understood what it meant for the Demon Race to deploy troops from the New World! More importantly, the gem-rich Suvalna had always been a focal point of tension between the Elves and the Demon Race, home to Demons with strong naval capabilities. There was no doubt, this time the Demon Race meant serious business!
This time, it was going to be big! Although the Star team had no idea what was going on, it was certain to be related to Da Fei! Should they let Little Deng ask him?
At this moment, information came through to Eternal Star, and it was indeed from Ma Yinglong! "Darn it, are you here to gloat again?" thought Eternal Star.
Ma Yinglong: "Brother Long, what are you guys up to? This lineup is quite intense. Honestly, when I go all out, I even scare myself!"
Eternal Star responded irritably: "The dead NPC won’t affect you, what are you scared of?"
Ma Yinglong laughed: "I heard you guys developed a secret weapon, and now our NPCs can’t sit still. Is it an atomic bomb or a tea egg? Care to share?"
Eternal Star sneered: "It’s horse crap, go ask Da Fei! I’m busy, don’t bother me!"
Ma Yinglong laughed again: "Alright, just make sure to wash your backside clean first!"
"Darn!"
...
At the Demon Camp square at the Pool of Radiance, hundreds of Demon Mages were casting spells around the giant teleportation array, teleporting batch after batch of Demon troops, clad in heavy armor like dragons and shrimp.
Indeed, following the death of the Demon Eye Governor last time, the Demon King was furious, but was calmed by Lei Huolong in time, resulting in the unexpected benefit of the Demon King transferring troops from other battlefields to avenge. Now was the time for Nakasha to utilize this batch of troops.
Nakasha was confident in the power of High-level Flame Demon Baroque, even though it was just an avatar, it was a force mortals couldn’t reach. In reality, even the Demon King couldn’t deploy this high-level Flame Demon guarding the Gate of Hell, because the so-called Demon King was only the mortal agent jointly selected by the seven Demon Gods, equivalent to the Pope in human terms.
Therefore, Baroque’s unexpected participation in the battle made Nakasha ecstatic. Even if they couldn’t win—well, failing was fine as long as they could severely damage the Elves; after all, the Elves couldn’t afford such losses.
Now, these massive water monsters called Blood Abyss Demons slowly assembled at the city gates, waiting at the lakeside of the Pool of Radiance.
Blood Abyss Demon, a giant Demon Race water monster born in the Blood Sea Abyss, possessed formidable combat and self-healing abilities in the Blood Sea. Each newborn had the standard of Level 7 Soldiers in other races, and adults were independent expedition-leading boss-level entities with unmeasurable combat power. However, their drawback was a strong dependency on blood, not suitable for prolonged combat outside the Blood Sea, generally serving as defensive units and thus unknown to outsiders.
But in the fiercely contested New World, these defensive units embarked on a journey, greatly compensating for the Demon Race’s naval shortcomings. When Blood Abyss Demons were deployed, they usually used the Blood Clan Demon’s high-end skill "Blood Domain," which turned the entire water red, otherwise their status would continuously decline, affecting combat power.
Under normal circumstances, the lake water of the Pool of Radiance was deadly to the Demon Race. Even though the lake’s waters were massively polluted, reducing its effectiveness, it was still unsuitable for long-term underwater combat for the Demon Race, hence this battle was still only considered a raid.
At this moment, the large screen at the Dragon Slayer Command Center was live streaming this NPC-led war mobilization by the stationed members in the front lines, bringing a solemn silence to the entire command center.
As high-end professional players, no one dared to underestimate the NPCs’ strength. When the war escalated to this level, what cards would the Elves play? What did this sudden battle have to do with Da Fei? Whatever the relationship, he deserved to be weakened a bit, or better yet, just finished off!
Now, the Demon Race’s war mobilization quickly fell into place, thousands of spiders climbed onto the land, the hundreds of Blood Abyss Demon shrimp waited by the lakeshore began to submerge in the lake, and the red clouds in the sky spread over the Pool of Radiance with maniacal laughter, the war began!
...
Radiant City.
Da Fei dismantled all four lifeboats on the Flying deck, installing them as magic charging crystals. Meanwhile, all the three thousand Flower Demons in the city swirled above Flying; they served as meat shields against the meteor shower!
Though Flower Demons had a base health of only 2 points, Da Fei’s equipment and skill achievements allowed him to add 10 health points to the entire army, then the three great plague achievements added 15% health, Sea Monster Hunter added 20%, and the newly upgraded God-level Navigator added 50%, finally raising the Flower Demons’ health to a terrifying 22.2! The health enhanced more than tenfold!
And the total health of the three thousand Flower Demons was 66,000! They could withstand 66,000 magic damage for Flying! Not to mention Elena’s divine equipment Elemental Domain had mind-boggling effects: 30% casting speed increase, 30% magic resistance increase, 30% mana recovery speed +, 30% spell power effect increase, the 30% magic resistance increase in the domain meant the Flower Demons could withstand 100,000 damage!
Even if Baroque was a demigod, so what? Dealing 100,000 damage was no easy feat, and once the battle was critical, Da Fei could also use Flying’s teleportation array’s limitless teleportation to escape everywhere.
Indeed, this war was not aimed at protecting the city, but the ship! Compared to the reborn Flying, these vases and jars in the city were not worth mentioning. Even if they smashed into pieces, even if the bell tower under construction, the Netherworld Gold Coins were lost, it didn’t matter; after all, he had blueprints to rebuild. Even if the entire city was taken, it mattered not, as the Elves’ vengeful nature meant they would go mad and take it back.
If Flying was done for, then he would suffer a huge loss, for no one would reimburse him!
At this moment, all construction sites in Radiant City halted. All workers evacuated through the teleportation array, while Star team members arrived through the teleportation array, making Radiant City a bustling hive of activity.
Now, Da Fei wanted to say, these single-player players lacked minions to share their damage; one meteor would definitely take out a large chunk, but, forget it, he better not say it. As a City Lord, should he really nitpick the volunteers helping him? Was he that terrible a person? Moreover, being high-end players, they didn’t need him telling them what to do.
At this moment, Da Fei’s information buzzed, and it turned out to be the Goddess!
Bu Feiyan asked, "Brother Fei, this battle looks like a major offensive, what’s your plan?"
Plan? Of course, you guys hold the line, and I hightail it out of here! Da Fei sighed, "Of course, I will fight to the end. But doesn’t the Elf Kingdom have any moves? This level of battle can’t possibly be resolved by us players, right?"
Bu Feiyan replied, "The Elf Kingdom will dispatch Pegasus Knights at critical moments, but we players need to cooperate."
Da Fei was surprised, "What are Pegasus Knights?"
Bu Feiyan chuckled, "It’s obviously the Pegasus Meteor Fist!"
Da Fei suddenly realized! A mythical unit in the Elf Kingdom, Pegasus! A winged unicorn, a Level 5 Soldier, fundamentally different from regular unicorns by being airborne instead of terrestrial!
Very good! As long as the Elf Kingdom had stock, he could retreat with more gusto! Da Fei immediately said, "Thanks, Goddess, now I’m more confident and will go all out!"
Then, Da Fei thought for a moment, deciding to give a reminder, "Oh, everyone be careful of the Meteor Shower, it’s terrifying if it’s a boss-level one."
Bu Feiyan suddenly panicked, "Oh my! A boss that can cast a Meteor Shower! What do we do!"
My gosh! I thought you were confident!
Da Fei could only chuckle awkwardly and said, "How about this, I’ll open the sewers for you guys to hide in? Let’s conduct a guerrilla warfare!"
Bu Feiyan hastily said, "Then thank you, Brother Fei!"
Da Fei chuckled, "Don’t mention it, I should be thanking you!"
At this moment, the entire underground space of Radiant City was illuminated by red light like dawn! Here it came, a large red cloud in front! Meanwhile, Da Fei’s radar also showed a red cloud!
Da Fei’s eyes almost popped out! Darn it, he’s a cloud! Is he planning to rain fire? I thought he was a flaming monster or something! How can we fight this? Shoot him down with anti-air missiles? Darn it, there’s no such high-tech stuff in the game!
Meanwhile, the Star team members busy digging tunnels couldn’t hold back an exclamation! Not only that, everyone in the Star Command Center involuntarily jumped to their feet! Eternal Star could no longer remain calm, "Is this doomsday? How can we fight this crap! All team members hurry and burrow underground!"
