Chapter 804 - 761: Elda’s Test and Trials (Part 2)
——System Prompt: Your 13 Power Angel Army members have fallen in a harsh environment...
Finally, just as two units of troops turned from playing dead to truly dead again, the River Monster finally left the ship and dived and disappeared.
It finally left! Elifel, resurrect!
——System Prompt: Your unit Elifel is in a state of severe intoxication and has lost mobility!
Oh crap! The worst-case scenario has finally appeared! By the time she sobers up and can move, won’t the other angels have all become angel barbecues? Am I really the only one left alone?
At this moment, Elda propped herself up from the table again and let out a big sigh of relief: "It finally left! I’m dying of thirst!" Then she immediately took out a bottle of Blood Wine, opened it, and drank heartily.
Elda woke up again! And she seems to be in good spirits? I have no choice now, for the sake of the Divine Country, you have to find a way to give me a hand! Da Fei hurriedly said: "El...el...eld..."
Aw, damn it! My game character’s tongue is tied, and I can’t even speak properly, how am I supposed to keep playing!
Elda wiped her mouth and sighed: "It’s hard for you, getting so drunk yet still managing such advanced Stealth—But can you tell me, yesterday we suffered heavy casualties on the river, today I wake up and find we’re still suffering on the river, what exactly are we doing?"
Originally, what I intended to do turned into a mess, can’t you stop asking? Da Fei helplessly struggled to say: "Train...ing..."
Elda looked around at the inebriated and disillusioned Angel Army and chuckled: "I have to say, your training results are quite interesting!"
Can we stop chatting! Da Fei hurriedly said: "Save...people..."
Elda let out a long sigh: "If I say I’m helpless, what would you do?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched in shock, even she can’t do it?
Elda continued to sigh: "Since you’re here to train the team, I suppose you must have the ability to handle various situations. Like the current one, you must have a way to deal with it, right? If not, then this isn’t training, but a foolish and failed adventurous action that is difficult to remedy."
——Ah pooh! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of drink! Damn it, can you not rub salt in my wounds, if you keep doing it I’ll really become a fragrant barbecue, I admit I’m being silly, I forgot my angels aren’t sailors, one wrong step leads to another, okay?
Elda chuckled again: "Actually, there is still a way, I’ve rested for about two days, and somewhat recovered a bit of strength, I can still forcefully activate the Space Marker by injecting power into it, that way we can teleport everyone on this ship back, and the whole team will be saved. However, this means you must stop your foolish failed mission."
——System Prompt: Your team hero Elda has requested to terminate the mission and return to the city, do you agree?
Da Fei’s scalp exploded in shock! No way? This is the rumored phenomenon where the vice-hero has extreme distrust and extremely low friendliness and loyalty towards the player, leading to betrayal from within! Even a brilliant player like me can experience such a crappy situation?
Elda said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and decide, although you are a God-level Navigator, able to extend the life of fallen troops for some time, in such a crazy environment, they can’t hold on much longer. So if you retreat in time now, you can still preserve your military force and return for a comeback. Moreover, your troops have already gained valuable training results, it would be such a pity to die here, coming back after sufficient preparation will surely lead to greater improvements."
Comeback? She speaks so reasonably, I am left speechless! Fine, I was wrong! As long as I have mountains green, there will be wood to burn! It’s just, I’m one step away, just one step from lasting until tomorrow, from seeing the results of the Navigator! I really don’t want to leave, I actually want to stay! I’m unwilling!
At this moment, Da Fei was full of tears!
"Have you decided?" Elda reminded again.
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat, can I refuse? Yes, there’s already betrayal from within, showing her trust level with me is extremely low, she must think I’m the kind who can’t accomplish anything without her help. Once we return, for sure the mission would end, and our relationship will end, recruiting her is out of the question! And to pass by such a powerful Angel Hero, leaving her to the European Union Zone, would be my lifelong regret!
Not to mention, if the mission is terminated, and she no longer teams up with me, how meaningful would my so-called comeback training Angel Sailors be? Besides the UK folks’ Noah’s Ark, neither my Flying nor Radiant Wings can carry large units, Angel Sailors simply can’t get on the ship! There’s no meaning at all!
With this in mind, filled with dissatisfaction, Da Fei finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I’m not going back! I haven’t failed yet, and until the last moment, I won’t give up!"
Of course, I’m not leaving, you better not offend me and leave on your own, in the celestial realm that’s considered the big sin of desertion.
Elda frowned: "Not failed? It won’t be long before your troops truly die! Then your training results will be completely wasted, what meaning would your actions have?"
Da Fei said in a deep voice: "I still have Elifel, she can definitely get through this, she is my result."
Elda surprisedly said: "So, you would rather give up the opportunity to retreat fully intact and sacrifice all the other 17 warriors to cultivate just one?"
That’s right, this was the worst-case scenario I predicted earlier, this is my ultimate contingency plan! Grandma Anwen taught me—a Commander should be more ruthless!
Da Fei gritted his teeth: "That’s right! As long as one person can achieve results, I’m successful!"
Elda’s face turned icy: "Even if it means putting me in danger, you’re also ready for me to be sacrificed?"
Can you please not speak so bluntly? Indeed, perhaps there is indeed a dark thought in me that if I can’t have her, I also won’t let the European Union Zone have her, I am ultimately not a noble person, not a Saint!
Da Fei painfully closed his eyes: "I can only say, sorry! If possible, you can teleport back alone, I don’t mind."
Elda burst into wild laughter: "You are more and more interesting! Actually, for us One-Winged Angels with a guilty conscience, there’s very little room for failure or giving up, we’re like pawns in chess, all advance no retreat! Sorry, I was testing you! I wanted to know if you are the kind of Commander with weak will and incompetence!"
Da Fei suddenly shocked: "Testing me?"
Elda chuckled: "Of course, achievements and courage forced out in a dead-end situation are not worth mentioning, they are the inevitable products of no choice. However, what if there were better options? Many people waver and hesitate during their struggle, then get persuaded by various temptations to change their initial goals, these people are destinies’ failures, and you stood out to me! And I am equally interested in your achievements, let me give my all to help you ——"
Speaking, Elda’s body billowed with black smoke again, within the black smoke, Elda’s Angel Body reappeared! A flash of gold!
——System Prompt: Your team hero Elda cast the spell "Great Resurrection Technique", your 13 Power Angel Army members and 4 Power Angel Army members are resurrected!
Watching the exhausted unit stand up revived in the golden light, Da Fei was excited, tears welling up, and immediately took the Revitalizing Potion!
——System Prompt: You used 1 bottle of strategic potion "Super Stimulating Potion", your units’ Life Physical Strength fully restored...
See, I’ve fought side by side with her to annihilate two regular armies, there’s no reason she would distrust me! It was a test! She’s bold, truly bold! I’ve resisted Divine Beast Nightmare’s plea for peace, how could my faith not be steadfast? So, after this test, she’s basically showering me with favor, she’s as good as mine now? Haha, wahaha!
As the golden light of resurrection dissipated, Elda’s Angel Body disappeared again and returned to being a sleepy bar girl: "I can only help you this much..."
With that, she lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
Da Fei let out a long sigh: "I only needed your help this once!"
Come on, the second maritime dawn I look forward to! Haha, wahaha!
