Chapter 754 - 717: Bloodrose Leader Arrives at Divine Punishment City
At this moment, China’s Divine Punishment City.
Right after the match had ended, Da Fei suddenly heard the alarm blast throughout the city from atop the city walls. Out in the Despair Plain a cloud of dust billowed—a giant creature was charging towards Divine Punishment City!
Is it Tachiusu and Tamilia? Da Fei excitedly pulled out the telescope. No, send the Blood Eagles out immediately for reconnaissance!
Closer, and now visible! Yes, it’s a giant dragon! On its back, clinging to vines are none other than Tachiusu and Tamilia—they’ve succeeded! They truly did it!
In this moment, Da Fei was so moved he was on the verge of tears! That’s right, today I’ve been smiling all day, I’m even sick of smiling! Now I want to cry! Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, this is the state of being for me, haha, wahahahaha! Why am I laughing again?
Regaining his composure, Da Fei immediately rushed to the garrison officer Ror: "Miss Ror, it’s our own people, hold your fire!"
Anlicia was also invigorated: "Lady Tachiusu has succeeded in taming the giant dragon and returning!"
"Giant dragon?" Ror’s expression changed, then she rallied: "Very well! Ready all troops to welcome the return of our warriors!"
However, something still wasn’t right, the giant dragon was still not obeying orders, stumbling and swaying erratically, almost like a mudfish squirming and jumping about on land, probably the reason for the enormous dust cloud it was stirring up? Anyway, as long as the general direction is correct, haha!
Nearing, the giant dragon approached the Despair Plain engulfed in dust, the terrified Demon Army hastily scattered to both sides unable to escape, and as the dragon made another swift twist, it rolled over them leaving a trail of indistinct flesh and blood behind, as the entire Demon camp sounded a piercing alarm across the plains.
To make both friend and foe sound the alarm at once—what a formidable dragon this was!
And the commanding Demon Heroes of the Demon Army quickly reacted, ordering millions of expendable Flesh Demons to launch suicide self-detonation attacks against the dragon! This situation was completely different from the previous one where only a few hundred Sky Cavalry were involved in the attack.
Da Fei couldn’t help exclaiming in shock: "Disaster! Even if Tamilia and Tachiusu can fly back alive, it’s tough to say whether the spoils of war from the giant dragon will make it!"
Ror spoke solemnly: "Warrior, although the Demon Army has retreated beyond the range of our siege engines, the enemy is certainly planning their next wave of attacks. They’re most likely to send a large number of Flying Demons to forcefully attack and destroy our siege engines without any concern for sacrifices. What we need to do is to take advantage of the dragon’s sudden appearance, launch a preemptive strike to further disrupt the enemy, as well as to seize the enemy supplies, to make the Demon Army’s next operation difficult to execute. Warrior, please join us in the offensive battle!"
——System Prompt: Divine Punishment City’s garrison officer Ror has issued you a merit mission "Harass the Demon Attack Troops". Do you accept?
Da Fei was astoundingly shaken! Holy cow, how phenomenal is Ror’s intelligence! Not only has she considered the issue of the Demon Airforce attacking the city which I hadn’t even thought about, but she also thought of looting amidst the chaos! And made an immediate decision, ready to charge out! I consider myself a master player, but I feel ashamed!
What else to say now, of course, I accept! The troops to sortie? Certainly, all the Demon Wolves, Demon Foxes, the entire Forest Goddess Power Angels Army!
As the rallying horns of Divine Punishment City sounded, Ror instantly assembled hundreds of Angels to buff each other and make pre-battle preparations, which was almost the entire force of Divine Punishment City, wasn’t it? With such a powerful natural ally as the giant dragon, as well as Ror’s Angel Army on our side, how could I be satisfied with merely a "harassment" level attack? This time, I want to completely decimate the Demon Army, burn them, kill them, loot them completely, ensuring they’ll never dare to besiege the city again in their lifetime. I want to achieve a complete and decisive victory!
..........
The news from the European Union Divine Punishment City instantly shocked the entire world. Divine Punishment City and Intern Knights became the top search terms on all forums and websites.
The Bloodrose Guild, which was about to start collecting UK Region information, didn’t need to bother anymore, as all the answers were instantly revealed. The EU Region was teeming with Intern Knights, causing the recently excited Bloodrose Leader Zhou Qing—who was not even a few minutes into enjoying her Crusader title—to be utterly disconsolate.
Everyone knew that the 300,000 Gold Coin teleportation fee was no small sum, not something average players could afford to spend, and those who could afford to teleport over to check things out immediately must be the top players of the EU Region. If so many of the EU’s top players successfully obtained the Crusader side-job, then the overall strength of the EU Region in future National Wars would rise to a fearsome level.
Meanwhile, Da Fei’s suspicious actions within the Saint Paul Knight Order, along with his nonchalant and ease of handing out three Crusader advancement items, didn’t need any explanation either—Da Fei too was far advanced in the world ranking.
The Bloodrose Leader Zhou Qing felt the urgency of time and immediately sent a message to both Blood Arrow Fragrance and Blood Arrow Linglong: "Come join me at the Saint Paul Knight Order right now, the Monastery missions can be put on hold for the time being."
Little Fang, who had just joined the second tier players and successfully infiltrated the organization, knew what was about to happen and, therefore, very willingly and obediently replied: "Understood, Leader."
As the Bloodrose Leader’s ship Bloodrose Rosa appeared at the Saint Paul Knight Order, a host of questing players seemed to witness the descent of a Goddess, all kneeling and shouting in worship:
"Leader, I want to join the Guild!"
"Leader, please take me, I am willing to do anything! My nickname is the All-night Steel Man!"
"Leader, we love you!"
Though the Bloodrose Leader Zhou Qing was a familiar figure in the city, every public appearance always drew numerous admirers. Facing the pursuits of her admirers, all she needed to do was to smile and wave calmly to the crowd.
Zhou Qing knew this silent encouragement would make each person feel seen by her, would prevent any sense of being overlooked, and would inspire each to work even harder, looking forward to the next time they could earn her more favored gaze. Zhou Qing enjoyed this feeling immensely, never growing tired of it!
Soon, Blood Arrow Fragrance and Blood Arrow Linglong also arrived. Seeing how the leader captivated everyone in the hall, Little Fang suddenly felt disgruntled: "Showoff! She really thinks she’s a star!"
Little Li couldn’t help laughing and crying: "But she really is a star, she’s been on magazine and website headlines!"
Little Fang let out a long sigh: "It really is good to be born into privilege, some people just can’t be compared to others."
Little Li snorted: "Knowing you can’t compare, why are you still jealous of her?"
Little Fang retorted unhappily: "I’m just simply annoyed by her! You know, when someone’s personal conditions are too good, they can make enemies without offending anyone, just like you should be careful."
Little Li was surprised: "What about me? Who have I made an enemy of?"
Little Fang shook her head and laughed: "Are you really oblivious, or just pretending? Forget it, it’s not a big deal anyway."
Now both of them came before Bloodrose Rosa and greeted, "Sorry to keep the leader waiting."
Bloodrose Rosa smiled faintly: "Let’s go, enter!"
Watching the trio enter through the back door of the Knight Order, the players in the hall were abuzz: "The Goddess even goes into the backyard! True to her name, so high-end!"
"Hey hey, those two that followed the Goddess, weren’t they the ones brought by Big Cousin? They’ve got some substance to be allowed into the backyard at such a low level!"
"Yes, exactly! Now that’s something, Big Cousin must be riding the wave, about to become a national uncle!"
"Holy cow, next time I see Big Cousin, I’ll have to suck up to him big time!"
"Why don’t you just forget it! Are you planning to brown-nose with your ass?"
...
Bloodrose Rosa and her two companions reached the teleportation array in the backyard of the Knight Order. The priestess of the array reminded, "While I don’t know by what means the three of you ascended to the rank of Crusader, your names are not on the church’s roster. So, before you’re officially registered, each of you only has two free uses of the teleportation array. After that, you’ll need to pay the teleportation fees yourself."
It appears there are indeed drawbacks to this opportunistic promotion as a Crusader, and the quest chain can’t be avoided. Zhou Qing nodded, "Thank you for the reminder!"
With a flash of light from the teleportation array, the scene went dark during the loading wait, then brightened up - they had arrived in Divine Punishment City.
Then a solemn and imposing voice echoed in the hall: "Welcome to the three new warriors, I am Angel Leader Sazer of Divine Punishment City. I’m very sorry that I’m preoccupied and cannot meet you in person, and I’m also sorry that the garrison officer is engaged in battle outside and cannot receive you. Overall, you’ll have to manage on your own..."
Manage on their own? For a moment, the entire Bloodrose Studio, watching the big screen, couldn’t help but be shocked and amused!
So, with curiosity, Bloodrose Rosa looked around and walked out of the hall to the plaza, and immediately heard the thundering roars and earthshaking cries of battle below.
The three of them ran to the battlements in a panic and were stunned: "Is this a war?"
And at that moment, Blood Arrow Fragrance suddenly pointed to a light dot flying back and forth in the distance: "Look there, it’s Da Fei! Da Fei is flying in the sky!"
Bloodrose Rosa was astounded on the spot: "It really is Da Fei!"
Immediately, the Bloodrose Studio erupted: "Oh my goodness, is this the first time we’ve seen Da Fei leveling up and questing in the wild?"
Just then, a flash of fire on the big screen reddened half the sky, and the entire Bloodrose Studio exploded again: "Oh my god, what the heck is that fire-breathing giant beast, it’s incinerated so many ants with one breath!"
"Which side is this giant beast on? Who exactly is this war against?"
At this moment, Bloodrose Holy Spear shook her head and laughed: "Sister, it looks like you’re about to have an unexpected encounter with Da Fei, and he’s sure to bring up the Banshee negotiations."
Zhou Qing came back to her senses and said coolly: "Well, that’s easy, just say the Banshee was snatched by him, and we thought the book was useless, so we’ve no idea where we threw it, and it’ll take some time to find."
The ladies burst into laughter: "As expected of Big Sister, offending no one and not making any definitive statements, let’s see how Da Fei handles this!"
Bloodrose Qiqi laughed heartily: "Maybe Da Fei will be so anxious, he’ll straight up trade a Divine Artifact for it!"
The ladies joked: "Right, when he brings out the Divine Artifact, we’ll suddenly ’find it’!"
Bloodrose Qiqi laughed heartily again: "Do you really think a Divine Artifact can catch our Big Sister’s eye?"
Zhou Qing chuckled: "Depends on my mood!"
The ladies laughed once again.
