Chapter 808 - 765: Harvest Along the River
Da Fei’s Blood Eagle meticulously reconnoitered the dock camp, carefully observing the workers’ routes. Da Fei could almost be certain that apart from a slight increase in defensive forces compared to three days ago, there seemed to be no other anomalies. No infiltrators, not even a hero guarding!
This truly surprised Da Fei!
If there are no heroes, how are these defensive forces different from regular wild monsters? Could it be that the Demons forgot how three days ago their regular army, led by a hero, was cleanly wiped out here? Or is it because I’ve been quiet for three days that the Demon Army let their guard down, withdrawing troops to the front lines?
Da Fei frowned tightly. Suspicious! Very suspicious! Whether it was the ambush by the Demon Army hero three days ago or the alarm array at the Lava Blood Lake, it all showcases the sinister malice of the Demon Army! And the Demon Camp’s accountability system is notoriously harsh, who would dare make the same mistake twice in the same place?
There must be an ambush! Maybe not infiltrators, but likely something like the alarm array imprisoning the Fallen Angel at the Blood Lake. As soon as I appear, swarming Flying Demons and Bees will instantly flood out. Although I am confident in using the advantageous terrain on the ship to challenge a large ground force, I am far from assured against an air force, especially since I currently have neither strong healing nor the Fallen Angel with long weapons.
In short, I would rather believe there’s something than not, I won’t fall into this trap! Even if it’s an empty fort strategy, I accept it! After all, only experts can fall for an empty fort strategy, as for newbies, they get eliminated before they even witness an empty fort strategy.
Therefore, getting to where I am now requires extreme caution. With this thought, Da Fei commanded the giant paddle ship to quietly slip along the opposite riverbank, bypassing the dock altogether. The billowing steam from the boiling Lava River greatly distorted visibility, further providing cover for Da Fei’s stealthy crossing.
Just thinking about that warehouse full of Blood Wine made Da Fei sigh involuntarily. It seems this Blood Wine is truly a high-end specialty, currently not available in the Hell Race’s player towns. Alas, what a pity.
...
Now, Da Fei continued rowing slowly toward the distant Volcano Mountain Range. Before long, the Blood Eagle scouting ahead made a new discovery, a huge paddle ship laden with supplies was coming downstream!
Da Fei was utterly shaken. Damn it! I was just worried about the empty fort strategy, and I bypassed the dock, but can I let you go? Even if you’re a trap, I accept it, I won’t feel comfortable unless I stomp on you!
Excited, Da Fei immediately shook the sleeping Elifel: "Miss Elda! Miss Elda! The enemy is coming!"
Elifel remained fast asleep, unresponsive.
Da Fei continued to shake: "Your Majesty Elda!? The enemy is coming?"
Still no response! But that’s not important! What’s important is, Da Fei found that his hands could wander freely over her body! Ha, haha! Wahahaha! Back then, I used to touch my dear Catherine too, apart from her big chest and beautiful butt always being blocked by her giggles just in time, I did manage to get quite a bit of those other small benefits!
Uh, what’s wrong with me! There’s a war coming, what am I doing this for! Anyway, as long as the crisis is near, she will surely wake!
Now, Da Fei immediately adjusted the ship’s direction to face the oncoming enemy while the Blood Eagle hovered above the prey, carefully observing the escort forces, which were composed of dragon-headed, turtle-backed, lizard-tailed, red medium-sized humanoid unknown creatures, but regardless of what they were, without a hero leading them, they were insignificant in the eyes of the Temple Crusader Da Fei. If I can’t easily take down this level of Demon Servants, I certainly won’t be able to ambush the Abyss Lord’s troops to complete the mission.
Closer, and closer! Although Da Fei had a lot of naval battle experience, this was his first time playing a pirate attacking a fat sheep, and he had never felt so excited and thrilled before. When Da Fei finally saw the giant paddle ship drifting downward from upstream in his view, his blood boiled like lava!
At this moment, the Demon Army’s cargo ship also noticed Da Fei. All the dragonman guards on board immediately gathered at the bow, one hand pulling out short swords, the other constantly swinging long-chained flying hooks, looking just like pirates.
However, my units are Angels! When it comes to boarding combat, no pirate can compare to a flying army!
As they entered the battlefield, Da Fei waved his hand boldly, leaving only Elifel for rear healing, and all the Angels rushed down, landing immediately on the enemy ship’s bow — new skill, Bloodthirsty Frenzy activated!
In an instant, all the Angels emitted a flash of blood light, and even the previously white half of their wings flared with a blood-red glow! The slaughter began!
The Power Angel’s giant axe drew intersecting arcs of horizontal slashes in the enemy ranks, and above the Power Angel’s head, the blood effect unique to vampire bloodsucking triggered frequently!
At that moment, Da Fei stood up in shock! Is the probability of triggering the Bloodthirsty Frenzy’s bloodsucking skill too high? Although it can’t match a Vampire’s hundred percent bloodsucking, this effect of triggering once every three swings is practically godlike for a high-attack, high-damage unit like an Angel!
Watching the Demon Army guards collapse in complete defeat, Da Fei finally came to his senses, suddenly enlightened!
This is my God-level Luck Skill "Luck Body" +15% chance to trigger troop special skills, coupled with Power Angel’s horizontal slash results!
If the Bloodthirsty Frenzy’s bloodsucking trigger rate is only 1%, but with my Luck Body’s 15% bonus, it becomes a considerable 16%. And the Power Angel’s horizontal slash can sweep through three at once, calculating the probability with each hit, so you can simply think of the chance as 3*16%=48%! And the trigger rate of the Bloodsucking Skill is obviously not as low as 1%, which is why the Power Angel can trigger bloodsucking so frequently!
At this moment, Da Fei finally realized the value of Bloodthirsty Frenzy! Perhaps this special skill might not compare to the strategic Divine Skill Healing Skill in the hands of regular players, but with experts like me at God-level Luck, it turns into a Bloodsucking Angel! In fact, the reason vampires are so admired by high-level players is that they sustain themselves in battle, removing the need for the operation demands of Healing Skill—perfect for a crushing player like me.
Thinking of the vast potential of this new special skill, Da Fei immediately firmed up his resolve to continue nurturing Bloodsucking Angel! That’s right, even without the Healing Skill precondition, the probability of triggering bloodsucking every three strikes still can’t manage more arduous battles. The enemy is too weak for Da Fei to confirm whether the bloodsucking ratio matches that of vampires, so it needs significant enhancement.
As the last enemy fell, the brief battle came to an end.
——System Prompt: Battle ended! You killed all enemy troops, gaining 130,000 experience, 13 Demon Essence, and seized the enemy’s giant Flame River Paddle Ship along with substantial supplies.
Ha ha ha, jackpot!
What should I do with the seized enemy ship? Of course, use my Sailing Skill sub-skill "Towing"! Once Elda wakes up, I’ll have her use the Space Marker to transport the ship’s supplies back, this is a big Merit! Ha ha ha!
Da Fei immediately directed the Angels to tie the enemy ship’s bow to my ship’s stern with cables, then jumped onto the enemy ship to inspect the supplies. Upon seeing them, he couldn’t help but grin; this huge load contained a third of Blood Wine, with the remaining two-thirds being Energy Crystals.
Ha ha, ha ha ha! Just what I needed, coming my way, supporting the nurturing of Bloodsucking Angel, thank you very much! Obtaining such massive gains so effortlessly, Da Fei finally let go of his tangled thoughts about the dock. Now it’s time to keep moving forward.
Under the towing situation, the Angel Sailors’ already slow rowing became even slower, but that’s fine, now is the perfect time to truly train their Sailing Skill. Just like when I towed Spielberg’s broken-bottom boat in the Nether Sea, there’s no easy promotion without a bit of technical challenge.
Besides, no need to rush, I’m waiting for the second, third enemy ship to crash into us, why hurry? Now, hurry up and continue training!
......
European Union Zone, Divine Punishment City.
The plain at the foot of Divine Punishment City has become a Blood Pool, where thousands of players from the European Union formed various arrays, standing in the Blood Pool against enemies and grinding monsters. Although the EU Zone’s battle has been going on for seven or eight hours now, not only has the global audience watching the live broadcast not decreased, but it has also grown. Simultaneously, more and more reporters from the EU Zone entered Divine Punishment City.
This bustling scene attracted even more experts from the EU Zone into Divine Punishment City, as they all wanted to take this opportunity to showcase their prowess before the media and the world. Meanwhile, the square of Divine Punishment City has also become a bustling market, with players returning to the city to rest setting up stalls to sell items. One can’t deny, at such a media-concentrated spot, setting up stalls is more about showing off good goods than advertising sales.
Under such a great and stable situation, the British Royal Ark Team Command Center remained heavy in atmosphere.
Lancelot said solemnly, "Has everyone noticed the Golden Light Barrier of Divine Punishment City is becoming more stable? The sounds of the siege machines hitting the barrier are not as loud. This indicates someone provided Divine Punishment City with a large amount of energy."
Bedville frowned, "Isn’t that a good thing? This way, we can continue grinding monsters leisurely."
Gao Wen sighed, "But if the one providing so much energy is Da Fei, then it’s not good news. Although we don’t know where Da Fei is right now, or through what means he provided so much energy, his possibility is the greatest."
Lancelot said sternly, "Of course, he’s in a seemingly more dangerous, but actually more relaxed enemy rear! Otherwise, he couldn’t have gained such massive rewards alone. I think we shouldn’t stay here foolishly grinding monsters; we must change the frontline!"
Everyone was shocked, "Do you mean that you also want to fly out like Da Fei?"
Lancelot said sternly, "That’s right! I’m also from the Angel Race; as long as I’m willing to pay the price, I can still fly out. Now is the time to exhibit the true role of my 7th-level troop Angel background!"
