Chapter 779 - 740: The Angel Hero Who Shocked the World
British Royal Ark Command Center, when the British were tirelessly dealing with the Swedes’ request for cooperation and at the same time wary of Da Fei’s high-profile appearance, an event that stirred the nerves of the entire team’s high command finally happened. The tightly blocked tavern door, held shut by several "German players," swung open with a clang, and Elda, whom the Royal Ark had always regarded as a caged canary, pushed the door open and stepped out!
When an NPC decides to walk, players cannot obstruct them, otherwise, the system will clear the area. At this moment, the entire command center was dead silent!
Now, under the watchful eye of reporters’ cameras, the global audience watched as this plain-looking yet luxuriously dressed barmaid, packaged by the EU’s romantics as if she were a princess, entered the Divine Punishment Hall.
The stern yet soft voice of the Angel Leader echoed once more in the hall: "Lady Elda, the city of Divine Punishment is facing a major crisis with a shortage of forces. I have an unseemly request, hoping you can assist this warrior in an expedition to the enemy’s rear."
At this moment, the global audience couldn’t help but be astonished. Why was the Angel Leader, the highest NPC of Divine Punishment City, speaking so politely to a barmaid of unknown origins? The answer was only known to the British with their ashen and twisted expressions. Of course, the eagerly expectant Da Fei also vaguely understood.
Elda sighed helplessly: "Thanks for your concern. Since Your Excellency has a request, I will act in Your Excellency’s honor!"
The Angel Leader expressed gratitude: "Thank you, lady, for resolving the dilemma!"
"Oh yeah! Done!" Da Fei excitedly waved repeatedly at the reporters’ cameras!
Just at this moment, a dazzling black light burst forth from Elda, and after the light, a silver-haired, one-winged female angel in black armor with a long scythe appeared, standing on a golden halo that was completely out of sync with her attire and appearance!
A hero! It turns out she is a hero of the Angel Race! To what extent is the power of such a high-tier race hero?
At this instant, reporters couldn’t help but scream, and the global audience was once again shocked. The whole Royal Ark Team’s members involuntarily stood up from their seats—although the Royal Ark Team already knew Elda was an angel hero, it was their first time seeing Elda reveal her true heroic form!
The black armor accentuated her dignity, the white wing accentuated her sanctity, and the golden hero aura accentuated her supreme nobility! Was this still the plain-looking barmaid? She was now a goddess that everyone couldn’t help but admire!
At this very moment, Da Fei, the person involved, was already wide-eyed and speechless until the system prompt dinged!
——System Prompt: Wandering Angel Hero Elda has temporarily joined your team!
Da Fei finally came to his senses and burst into long laughter! A hero, she turned out to be a hero! No wonder she was worthy of being called His Majesty! So this tavern was indeed meaningful, like that group of Wandering Mercenaries’ Tavern with the underground Ogres?
In any case, there’s no time to contemplate the tavern affairs now. Time is pressing; quickly recruit with the Chaos Essence and get on the road.
At this moment, reporters crowded around Da Fei, eagerly asking: "Mr. Da Fei, what is your next move?"
Da Fei snapped his fingers, calmly saying: "Of course, have a blast!"
However, though Da Fei tried to appear calm before the world audience, a strange feeling arose when he saw Elda following obediently behind him! What is this feeling? The sense of a conqueror? Yes, the more noble and proud the female hero, the more satisfying it is to conquer them! Since you’ve joined my team, I won’t make it temporary! Even if I have to sacrifice the competition, I’ll win you over; my sixth hero recruitment tactical position is reserved for you! Haha, wahahaha!
Now, in front of the world’s audience, Da Fei once again stood on the wall. But this time, Da Fei did not jump the wall in a petty manner; instead, he led his troops aloft, leaving the world players with a glorious and majestic back...
British Royal Ark Command Center.
Prince George, trembling, wiped his eyeglasses, contemplating endlessly: "I heard that every U.S. Marine has been issued a copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War written by the Chinese people, and I always found it amusing. Isn’t modern warfare all about intelligence? As long as the intelligence work is done well, and the map fully explored, military tactics are meaningless."
"Now it seems I was wrong; military strategy should be a reversal of thinking! For instance, with this Elda, under our familiar town security rules, we blocked the door flexibly, making it impossible for Da Fei to enter and see her, yet he had a way to make her come out to see him! Isn’t this the ’all’s fair in war’ strategy mentioned in The Art of War? It seems this Chinese person is far from just a flashy upstart; he’s terrifying!"
Gao Wen said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, perhaps we shouldn’t be too pessimistic. Da Fei still hasn’t met the conditions to recruit her."
Prince George shook his head and sighed: "I hope so. Nonetheless, we should prepare for the worst. I believe Da Fei’s performance has made our allies realize just how formidable the true opponent is—inform the Swedes we agree to lend them troops for the upcoming match."
Gao Wen: "Understood."
Prince George, sipping his tea, sighed: "Meanwhile, use this troop-lending opportunity to forge a true strategic alliance with Germany, France, and Sweden. If Da Fei’s appearance can promote true unity in our EU Zone, then we should thank him."
Gao Wen coughed lightly: "Reasonable, Your Highness. But isn’t the greatest source of instability hindering the true union of the EU Zone us?"
George spat out his tea: "Can’t I change my mind?"
Gao Wen sighed: "They always assume we’re entirely on the side of the United States, and cannot represent the interests of the EU; they’ve never trusted us, and we probably have to offer more genuine sincerity."
George helplessly waved his hand: "Then cancel the additional conditions for borrowing soldiers, and let the Swedes feel our sincerity first..."
"Got it."
...
While traditional European strong teams were gathering in a chatroom to discuss big strategies for development, a young European team was equally shocked by Da Fei’s extraordinary performance! They were the "Spain-Portugal-Holland-Turkey" four-nation university student Pirate Alliance.
At this moment, the well-informed Portuguese guy "Emperor Ruoang" urgently convened a league meeting: "Hey guys, it’s bad news, the British have started lending soldiers to the Swedes for the competition, do you know what this means?"
Flying Dutchman Kluiv chuckled: "Does it mean Sweden is going to win the championship?"
Turkish Osman Emperor said coldly: "The usually stingy and selfish British lending soldiers is itself an unusual move."
Emperor Ruoang said sternly: "That’s right, but lending soldiers is just the beginning, they’re secretly starting to reach a real alliance agreement!"
Kluiv laughed: "To deal with Da Fei together?"
Everyone said in unison: "Fool, it’s to deal with us! Once they truly unite, we’ll be squeezed out with no room to survive, at least not in the European Union Zone, only when the New World National War Zone opens!"
Kluiv then realized: "So what do we do? Unite with Da Fei?"
Everyone then gave a thumbs up: "Your IQ fluctuates like the waves."
Kluiv sighed: "But how do we unite with Da Fei? Why would he help us?"
Emperor Ruoang said seriously: "That’s why I gathered everyone for this meeting! Of course, it’s to sell the Divine Artifacts to him, Da Fei has already acquired two components of the Curse Armor, only lacking the Bone Armor and Black Knight Sword, I know the whereabouts of one of the components!"
Everyone exclaimed: "No way? That’s so convenient?"
Emperor Ruoang said seriously: "Exactly, when the British who sold the Divine Artifact to Da Fei publicly revealed the artifact, the entire forum was fervently discussing the whereabouts of the remaining components. I took the opportunity to anonymously express my willingness to buy them at a high price — soon someone privately messaged me revealing news about the Black Knight Sword, this was information an Undead player learned from a vampire lady at a bar, it involves searching a hidden lich tomb on a secret island! An island! If it were elsewhere it’d be dismissed, but islands are precisely where our Pirate Alliance can fully exert its power!"
Everyone exclaimed: "A bar lady from the Undead Race? What’s that taste?"
"Fools, it’s a beautiful vampire, alright, don’t interrupt! Anyway, if we take advantage while the strong teams’ attention is all focused on Divine Punishment City and search with all we’ve got—"
"Wait, so what about the last piece, the Bone Armor?"
Emperor Ruoang laughed: "No need for us to worry about that, we’ve already helped Da Fei collect three pieces. He can figure out the last one himself, given his abilities there’s nothing for us to worry about."
Everyone laughed heartily: "The one who’s just one piece away is the most painful, the most conflicted, are you sure he’ll be grateful to us?"
Emperor Ruoang laughed: "Or will he resent us? And then there’s the last matter, we’re all notorious red names banned from entering the city, who among us with low Sin Points can get in the city?"
Osman Emperor laughed: "Kemal, he even encountered Da Fei in today’s match, once it’s successful, let’s send him for delivery."
Everyone nodded: "Great, let’s hurry up and act! We must succeed before Da Fei returns home!"
...
At this moment, Da Fei was stealthily flying through the skies over the Despair Plain, while his heart had long soared up beyond the nine layers of clouds.
Although Elda, as a temporary adjunct vice hero, Da Fei didn’t know her level attributes and skills, but all that was utterly unimportant now. What mattered was that she was part of his team.
Da Fei had already planned out his date itinerary with Elda, first, it would be monster-killing! Then during the downtime while waiting for Blood Lake’s tides to recede, inviting her to play cards, with his cheating poker as the tool of course, followed by gifting her a chess set to enhance friendliness, then back to monster-killing, and card-playing again, then giving her a Fuzzy Bear, then back to monster-killing...
Ha-ha-ha, in short, I’m just not going back to town, not giving her the chance to complete her mission and leave the team. As for the competition? Damn it, compared to recruiting beautiful female heroes, it’s hardly worth mentioning; whatever happens, so be it, haha, wahahaha! (To be continued.
