Chapter 684 - 647: Fighting and Harmonizing
During the most tangled moment of the battle, suddenly receiving a peace request from the enemy was itself a very tangled matter.
Da Fei then asked Ror: "What is Miss Ror’s opinion?"
Ror was taken aback for a moment, then coughed dryly and said: "Warrior, you are the Commander of the expedition, this kind of thing should be decided by you."
Holy crap! Just when I’m struggling, you ask me to decide? Am I not just concerned about the life and death of you beauties because I am tender-hearted? As long as I can benefit and safely protect the beauties, of course, I would do this deal. Why take such a big risk?
At that moment, the mocking laughter of the Chess Army echoed through the space: "As a Third Generation Angel, you should certainly know that the very existence of this Ancient Angel has already challenged the gods. You must already know how many Demon Gods in the Demon World were once Ancient Angels, right? Not to mention that he has been demonized, his loyalty is completely unreliable. What if I said that he is our spy infiltrated into your heaven, would you believe that? Even if you don’t believe it, would your higher-ups believe it? In any case, he is not worth risking your lives to save."
Ror was suddenly astonished!
Holy crap, looking at Ror’s expression, did this demon’s words strike a chord with her?
But what of it? The less Heaven’s higher-ups trust him, the more he will have no choice but to turn to me, which is exactly what I want! The opponent talks so much surely because they want to persuade me. The current priority is not to make a decision too soon, I need to find a way to continue stalling for time for Furry Bear to recover his stamina!
So, Da Fei pretended to be surprised and asked: "What is a Second-generation Angel? What is a Third-generation Angel?"
Ror came back to her senses and said: "The very first seven Creator Angels created by God are the First Generation Angels, and they are also the current seven highest leaders in heaven. Then those non-human-shaped Ancient Angels with physical bodies made by the seven Creator Angels early on are the Second Generation Angels. As for us, the non-physical human-shaped angels, we are the Third Generation."
Nightmare laughed heartily and said: "One of the highest angels, Metatron, was not one of the original Creator Angels, he was a replacement added later. The First Generation Angels were created by God based on His own personality template, like avatars of God, so there should be no question of their loyalty. However, the strongest angel, now the Pride Demon King Lucifer, still rebelled. The Second Generation Angels are minions made by the First Generation Angels, their loyalty is even less assured. As time goes by, the power of the Second Generation Angels grows stronger, and their desire to become gods is harder to conceal, which God would never allow; hence, Hell is the best refuge for these Ancient Angels!"
Holy crap! This Nightmare must have been lonely playing solo all this time, turned out to be quite a chatterbox?
Da Fei, while glancing at Furry Bear’s stamina bar, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You really know a lot of stuff, but the matters of heaven are too high-level for us minions to handle. Right now, I especially want to know why everything in this Nightmare Space is floating in the air? Otherwise, even if I go out and boast about it, no one would believe me."
Nightmare said lightly: "Because this place is the materialization of dreams, anything can happen in a dream, and the rules of the Dream Space are naturally different from those of the Main World Plane."
Da Fei secretly chuckled, promptly asking again: "Why do I find that this space is full of toy fires, like it’s a child’s dream? Why not an adult’s dream?"
Nightmare continued: "Only the pure imagination of children can materialize such fantastical spatial rules in dreams, while adults’ dreams are mostly various greedy desires, not much value."
Da Fei continued to stall for time: "Then why is there a Lava Sea here? Even if it’s a child’s nightmare, dreaming of such a thing is too frightening, right?"
Nightmare patiently continued: "When children are warned by their parents that if you play all day or don’t tidy your room, I’ll burn your toys. This fear suggestion makes a massive Lava Sea materialize in children’s dreams."
With all this talk, the stamina bars of Furry Bear and the chess-playing angels had almost recovered.
Da Fei smiled even more brilliantly: "So that Poker Hero who called himself William, is he a real-world hero child?"
Nightmare gave a cold laugh: "Mortal, have you had enough rest? I am rested now, fight or make peace, I’ll give you 3 seconds to decide—1!"
Oh crap! Da Fei spat out, so it turns out while I was plotting against him, he was also plotting against me! Speaking of which, isn’t he a Divine Beast? Isn’t he the ruler of this space? Does he need to rest? Fight or make peace?
Da Fei hurriedly gestured: "Your peace offer is too low, not worth a Thunder Angel at all!" Not to mention that he had eaten a Divine Level Fragment of mine!
Nightmare burst out laughing heartily: "Add the lives of these thirty Angel Soldiers as a stake, and of course, it’s worth it!"
Ror angrily said: "Warrior, we are the bravest warriors, we will never fear death!"
And just at that moment, Catherine stood out again: "Captain, let’s fight! I only know that the party who initiates peace is definitely at an insurmountable disadvantage, not to mention a scheming peace-seeking demon!"
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat. That’s right! I’ve encountered so many bosses in the game, but never one that actively seeks a truce! There must be deceit involved, right?
At this point, what else is there to say? Da Fei gritted his teeth: "Then let’s fight!"
The Nightmare laughed madly: "Foolish mortals, my target is only the Thunder Angel, as for you ants, you’re not worth my time!"
—System Prompt: Negotiations have broken down, the battle resumes!
A violent wind unlike any seen before surged through the space, causing the entire chessboard to shudder violently. Amidst the fierce wind, the speed of the Chess Army suddenly advanced!
So he really needed to rest! Da Fei nearly peed himself, and quickly waved a big hand: "All Angels, get down and push the chessboard, don’t let them catch up!"
Ror: "Received!"
Looking at the ferocity of the wind, even all the Angels pushing the chessboard may not be enough. Da Fei then directed Blood Eagle to the front of the Chess Army to initiate Petrification Slowdown. As for the chessboard, leave it to Furry Bear and my Queen, I’m going for an intense battle!
Now the chessboard suddenly widens the Chess Army’s pursuit. The well-rested Furry Bear, wielding great strength and a thick body, pounces and crashes into the chess pieces, causing sparks to fly and crisp clattering sounds to echo throughout the chessboard.
Da Fei then realized, without Blood Eagle’s Petrification Aura slowdown above the chessboard, these chess pieces seem to fall louder and heavier.
Da Fei suddenly understood, Blood Eagle was used wrongly just now! How could we slow down in this wrestling mode? Speed and strength are the passions of wrestling.
There was nothing more to say, Da Fei seized this precious opportunity, activated the Queen to strike amidst the chaos, and instantly killed three isolated chess pieces.
However, the cost of creating chaos was enormous Stamina consumption. Soon, Furry Bear ran out of Stamina again and started to pant heavily in place. The chess pieces on the board regrouped, forming a tight formation, and began to encircle and hunt down Da Fei’s Queen.
But that’s ok, now there are more than a dozen fallen chess pieces on the board, plus the six previously killed, and the entire layout of the connected horses is basically clear, Da Fei can totally rely on the Queen’s high mobility and hit-and-run tactics on the chessboard.
In any game, high mobility forces always have absolute initiative. When Furry Bear’s Stamina is restored again, another round of bloody storm will ensue, then, amid the chaos, a few more horses will be instantly killed until the field is entirely cleared!
Time ticked by second by second, and just as Da Fei was leading horses around the edge of the chessboard, those fallen chess pieces, under some strange force, stood up again, and the pieces that had been thrown out of play returned to their positions, filling the field densely with chess pieces, once again creating a disadvantageous situation for Da Fei.
Da Fei frowned, couldn’t wait anymore! Use whatever amount of stamina has recovered, must create chaos again!
So Furry Bear burst out violently again, overturning a swath of chess pieces, then Stamina peaked and collapsed again. The brief chaos created by Furry Bear wasn’t seized by Da Fei, still finding no opportunity to strike and expand the victory, Da Fei was devastated!
Then the situation repeatedly played out, and the stalemate still couldn’t be broken, while the Angels pushing the chessboard were also beginning to glow red with exhausted Stamina, Da Fei was extremely anxious!
And just then, that Chess Hero spoke again: "Mortal! The situation is disadvantageous for you, I can still offer you one last chance to negotiate peace, don’t use your mortal thinking to second guess me, I just need to attend a banquet, I admire your perseverance, and am willing to offer you a bonus! Let your mortal wisdom decide the loss and gain."
—System Prompt: Nightmare Morpheus proposes conditions for negotiation. If you agree to leave the Nightmare Space now, you will receive achievement rewards "Nightmare Playground One-Day Trip", "Playground Building Blueprints", "Hell Nightmare Stables Blueprints". Do you agree to negotiate peace?
—Fear Nightmare Stables Blueprint: Special elite unit building, capable of training and recruiting elite level 5 troops, Fear Nightmares. Constructing this building in the Hell Magma, Nightmare Space environment can greatly increase the production of this troop type.
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped! Elite troops!
As previously introduced, the same level of troops has three forms, ordinary, regular army, and elite.
For instance, the "Secret Archer" that Da Fei used to dominate the battlefield with 200 ultra-long-range and knockback special skill is the elite form of the Elf level 3 troops, which is usually exclusive to NPC forces. Ordinary players can only use the regular army form of Jungle Hunter.
The Fear Nightmare, as an elite troop, has an extra special skill compared to ordinary Hell Horses, Fear Aura! Enemies that come close to it have a certain chance to enter a fearful state of running around chaotically. It’s a powerful troop type that combines charging, meat shield, and crowd control all in one!
Of course, any race’s elite troops are never weak, and such elite troops that are elusive can actually be created by players! At this moment, Da Fei was truly tempted! (To be continued.
