Chapter 790 - 749: The European Union Army Cursed by the Demon King
Divine Punishment City foothill, Despair Plain battlefield.
Amidst the earth’s rumbling tremors, dozens of blood fountains shot skyward, and the blood mist quickly enveloped the sky. The blood swiftly spread across the ground, and all the European Union players were caught off guard, soaked in blood with no means to prevent it. Their life, speed, and stamina attributes began to plummet drastically!
Although they didn’t know what had happened, as the top team in the European Union Zone, they reacted immediately: "Retreat! Entire army, retreat!"
At this moment, Da Fei seemed to hear a rumbling mechanical sound from the city, then a flash of golden light appeared before his eyes, and dozens of golden thunderbolts crashed down, dispersing the bloody mist!
Da Fei was secretly startled. Is this the fortress cannon of Divine Punishment City? How much energy does this shot consume?
Then the garrison officer on the city head shouted loudly: "Warriors! I’m here to save you!" After saying this, he transformed into a radiant golden meteor and flew downward. Under the thunderstorm clearing and the garrison officer’s golden light, the slowing effect of the blood mist and blood water weakened instantly, allowing a large number of European Union players to seize this precious opportunity to escape from the Blood Pool and rush up the mountain stairs.
At this moment, the global audience was in an uproar, while Da Fei was left utterly speechless!
They escaped! They all escaped! This Demon King is pathetic, isn’t he? Not even managing to kill a single player, let alone harm a single soldier, it’s simply an insult to the title of Demon King!
As he lamented, Kemal next to him chuckled: "Mr. Da Fei was wise not to attack with them."
Da Fei also chuckled: "After all, we’re not playing the same game."
Kemal laughed: "Well, they’re all coming back now, and it’s inconvenient for me to let them see me, or they might gang up on me in the city. So, I’ll give this Black Knight Sword to Mr. Da Fei first, hoping that in future national war battlefields, Mr. Da Fei can ally with our EU Student Pirate Alliance."
Faced with the trade box that already had the "Confirm Trade" button pressed, Da Fei was dumbfounded!
Is this a free gift? Is this seeking protection from me? Oh, come on! How could there be such naïve people? A student pirate alliance? Such things probably only students would do?
Alright, I must educate you a bit, let you realize the harshness of society, the treachery of human hearts, lest you get devoured till nothing remains—uh, nope, nope, I’m abroad now, I must consider my international image, moreover maintain the international image of the Chinese people, scamming a Divine Artifact might cause the Turks to lose faith in us and follow NATO’s steps to oppose China, indirectly triggering a Third World War. Oh my, the responsibility of maintaining world peace is heavy on me!
In any case, I can’t just take his Divine Artifact for free! But what to exchange it with? The Captain’s hat and Heart of the Ocean set sold to me by my French friends? Being pirates, they would surely need it, right? But I need it more, don’t I? Or exchange it with the Divine Artifact Necklace from the Demigod Crocodile? However, the 1% trigger rate of the four special skills of the Divine Artifact Necklace may not significantly enhance ordinary players, but for someone like me with a God-level Luck Skill "Luck Body" +15% trigger effect, it’s truly an overpowering Divine Artifact, so I can’t give it away either.
Then the other items like the Flame Shield, Dragon King Boots even more so cannot be given away? Oh, come on! How could I give away a Divine Artifact! But he’s giving away a Divine Artifact, does that mean my level is lower than his?
While agonizing over this, Kemal smilingly asked: "Why doesn’t Mr. Da Fei hit confirm, don’t you want it for free?"
Da Fei let out a long sigh: "You can give it for free, but it’s inconvenient for me to take it for free. Although I have many Divine Artifacts, they’re urgently needed and cannot be given away, and using ordinary gold equipment as an exchange would seem insincere!"
Kemal laughed: "Mr. Da Fei being able to resist the temptation of the Divine Artifact and not hitting confirm for such a long time already shows your sincerity. Please accept it, later on, whether it’s you or us, once entering the New World, you will surely become a main focus of attack by the European Union, United States, and Japan, what we need is to unite together."
With him saying this much, if I don’t accept it, I’d become the hypocritical Liu Bei. Oh well, I’ll reluctantly accept it, but still throw in some Gold Coins just to signify my intention.
Da Fei then traded 10 million Gold Coins and smiled: "I’m willing to accept your alliance invitation. I may not have much else, but I do have a bit of Gold Coins, hoping to express my thanks."
Kemal laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Da Fei, we indeed do lack some money as pirates!"
——System Prompt: You have completed the transaction with Turkish player Kemal, you acquired "Black Knight Sword"!
Transaction completed, Kemal extended his hand and laughed: "Alright, Mr. Da Fei, see you next time on the national war battlefield!"
The Divine Artifact components are in hand! At this moment, Da Fei couldn’t hide his excited mood, shook hands and said: "Great! By then I’ll lead you in accomplishing missions, counter-siege!"
"We are very much looking forward to it! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Watching Kemal’s yellow name figure disappear in the Teleportation Array, Da Fei felt mixed emotions. Indeed, when one gains fame and strength, naturally there will be people who deliver Divine Artifact Equipment and such to your door, such a feeling is truly awesome! As for now, of course, it’s time to check how those European Union fellows are doing. Though it seems no one died, I don’t believe they’ll come running back after getting sprayed with Demon King’s blood without any issues?
...
At this moment, the EU Student Pirate Alliance chat room was in an uproar!
The Flying Dutchman roared, "Are you kidding me! This Chinese guy is a famous deceiver, right? Kemal, are you an idiot? How is this 10 million any different from giving it away for free?"
The Spanish Armada also sighed, "Regardless of the value of this component, we spent 3 million just on information fees! Not to mention we also lost so many troops and potions."
Emperor Ruoang of Portugal sighed, "Well, everyone, let’s not blame Kemal, he must have his reasons."
Osman Emperor said in a solemn voice, "That’s right, no matter what, I am fully supporting Kemal."
The Dutch sighed, "Alright, let’s have Kemal come out and explain why he didn’t follow the pre-arranged transaction process."
Kemal gave a dry cough and said, "Because Da Fei saw the expression on the EU players’ faces when they suffered a setback, that expression clearly showed he knew the inside story and was full of confidence. It means he was already in control of the situation alone. This made me realize his true terrifying nature, and I felt that bargaining with someone like him was very pointless. There was only one voice in my head – make friends with him unconditionally!"
For a moment, the chat room fell silent.
Emperor Ruoang laughed, "Anyway, our goal has already been achieved. At the very least, we have such a good start, Da Fei will definitely not be our enemy anymore, don’t you all think so?"
The Dutch sighed, "Okay, maybe I haven’t dealt with Da Fei before, so it’s not appropriate for me to comment further. I’ll believe in Kemal’s judgment then."
Emperor Ruoang laughed, "Since that’s the case, let’s turn our attention back to Divine Punishment City and see what surprises our friends encounter!"
...
In the European Union Zone’s Divine Punishment City, this counterattack battle broadcast live to worldwide audiences was embarrassingly forced to withdraw under the timely rescue of NPCs.
Although luckily there were no casualties, every EU player and unit had an unknown duration Demon King’s curse added to them, causing units’ damage, speed, defense, magic resistance, and life physical strength recovery speed to all significantly decrease, and the Angel’s combat effectiveness directly dropped to the level of a 6th level unit.
And at this time, the foot of Divine Punishment City’s mountain had become a large Blood Lake continuously spewing blood water.
Facing such a sudden event, the command headquarters of the UK, France, Germany, and Switzerland’s four national teams were completely at a loss. This situation had exceeded players’ coping abilities, and they could only continue waiting for NPC rescue.
Now, the square of Divine Punishment City was densely packed with players covered in blood. As for Da Fei, of course, he continued to coldly observe by the door of the mercenary store.
On the square, a golden light flashed, and the garrison officer appeared, he said in a spirited tone, "Warriors, I am here to deliver you one good news and one bad news! The good news is that our warriors’ destruction of the demon army’s rear base has caused a gap in the demon army’s offensive forces, forcing the Abyss Blood Demon King to move out. From the initial round of engagement with the Divine Punishment Thunder, it had no power, and of course, it could not have the power to oppose solely our Divine Punishment City Fortress, so it can only continue to lurk underground to further delay our counterattack steps. This means that in the upcoming period, the Demon King cannot have such significant actions again."
Once again, there was an uproar among the players on the square, "What kind of good news is this? Can you first help us remove this curse from our bodies?"
The garrison officer shook his head and continued, "The bad news is that the Demon King’s Demon Blood curse is a life curse - the curse will not be lifted until the Demon King is dead. The only way to remove the curse is to kill the Demon King. And the Demon King is waiting for new reinforcements to arrive. Once the new reinforcements arrive, we will face tremendous pressure, so our time is limited! Warriors must overcome the current cursed state, keep going and continue to advance, and first destroy the enemy’s siege machines!"
There was yet another uproar around the square, "You want us to fight in this state?"
The garrison officer nodded, "That’s right, this curse has a leeching effect, so it’s not entirely useless. There’s not much time left; warriors, hurry up and set out. Rest assured, as soon as the Demon King dares to show up again, our Divine Punishment Thunder will punish him immediately."
The entire square erupted once more into a clamor. Da Fei laughed to himself, at this moment, he smelled a thick business opportunity, but compared to the upcoming war opportunity, business opportunities were insignificant. Even if you want to buy soldiers from me, I might not sell them.
Da Fei then leisurely got up and walked towards the garrison officer, and at this moment, the clamoring stopped abruptly, once again making Da Fei the focus of everyone’s attention.
Da Fei asked the garrison officer, "Sir, is there any task suitable for me?"
The garrison officer’s spirits lifted, "Warrior, you are just in time. Since the Demon King has adopted a delaying tactic waiting for reinforcements, then the warrior’s mission is to penetrate deep behind enemy lines to strike at the reinforcements. This mission is none other than yours!"
— System Prompt: You have received the Merit Mission ’Deep Penetration to Strike at Reinforcements’ issued by the garrison officer of Divine Punishment City!
Da Fei chuckled in surprise, as expected, yet again another deep penetration mission!
