Chapter 809 - 766: UK and France Show Their Cards
For the British Royal Ark Team, the more than seven hours of Da Fei’s disappearance were undoubtedly the most mentally unsettling hours. Not only the high-level of the British team, but the entire European Union Forum was speculating that Da Fei must be undertaking an action comparable to dragon slaying and god slaying. The British could no longer sit still.
At this time, in the Royal Ark Team Command Center, Lancelot’s proposal to go on the offensive was put on the table as an important agenda, presided over by Prince George himself. The reason for its importance is because once Lancelot forcefully activates the Angel Body and flies, he will continuously lose experience until he loses a level.
That’s right, although Lancelot is from the Angel Race, due to system balance restrictions, he can’t fully utilize the power of an angel yet, at least not freely fly. This requires him to gradually lift the seals through continuous upgrading. Moreover, penetrating deep behind enemy lines concerns the fate of Britain and must be considered cautiously.
Now Lancelot begins his formal speech: "Your Highness, fellow comrades, after eight hours of battle, the number of players in Divine Punishment City has surpassed two thousand. Among them, 780 are mage-type players who don’t need to bring troops. Their presence has stabilized the situation in Divine Punishment City and sold us a lot of Demon Essence, but even so, we still aren’t confident enough to break through the Abyss Lord defense line led by the Demon Hero. We can’t continue to waste time; we must seek breakthroughs from the rear!"
"Although we don’t know how much material Da Fei actually transported from the rear, we must make a bold assumption that the rear of Hell is not as fearsome as we imagined. On the contrary, it is very likely far from the front line, with lessened defense forces. This is also the reason Da Fei has never gone down the mountain to fight monsters normally since he came to the European Union Zone. This is why he can achieve substantial gains with minimal troops."
"And what’s worse is, the whole world is broadcasting us from the European Union Zone, thinking we are recruiting and hoarding special level 7 troops, but in reality, our situation isn’t as good as they imagine. Their sense of crisis has already prompted them to take military risks to catch up, and they have already made breakthroughs. For example, we just received an unconfirmed report that the Japanese made a significant breakthrough in their adventure. Since even the Japanese dare to take risks and break through, it’s time for us to make ventures, sacrifices, and breakthroughs. I’ve finished my speech!"
George nodded: "So how do you solve the problem of transporting supplies?"
Lancelot: "We monitored a video of Da Fei conversing with the garrison officer, where the garrison officer handed Da Fei a treasure bead shimmering with golden light as he came out of the machine room in the hall. This bead is identical to the one embedded in the Divine Court’s Teleportation Array, and must be the tool for transporting materials. In principle, mortals can’t use this treasure bead. If Da Fei can use it, I certainly can as well. The only issue to resolve is, I still need a large amount of merit! That’s the only way I have the means to converse with the garrison officer and accept the quest!"
Gao Wen raised his hand: "Merit is simple. Our team, allied teams, all Demon Essences should be handed over to the captain for recruitment."
George frowned slightly: "Must we rely on allied cooperation?"
Lancelot sighed: "Since things have developed to this point, it’s better for our alliance to lay cards on the table. In fact, the French have already suspected my account comes from the Angel Race, and we’ve always suspected that Napoleon is actually pretending to be a Champion Knight from level 6 Long Spear Soldiers. In reality, his origins are far better than my strength-sealed state. I’ve had enough of his continued pretence as Long Spear Soldiers on the front line. If the French continue to be secretive and don’t go all out, our alliance will only be stuck in this monster-clearing stalemate."
Bedivere nodded: "Makes sense, even Da Fei, the world’s most mysterious player, has openly displayed his God-level Reconnaissance Technique. It’s better for us allies to lay cards on the table."
George asked again: "Da Fei can go deep behind enemy lines because he has God-level Reconnaissance Technique, but you don’t. How confident are you in your survival?"
Lancelot shook his head: "With my mobility! If I decide to run, neither paradise nor hell can catch up with me."
George then glanced around: "So, who agrees, please raise your hand?"
All high-level members present raised their hands.
George nodded: "Very well, I also believe the audience worldwide is tired of our endless monster clearing. It’s time for the world to witness Lancelot’s flight posture. We must gather all Demon Essences bought from ordinary players and form a powerful Angel Army to go deep behind enemy lines—immediately connect to the alliance channel, we must do everything to persuade our allies for cooperation!"
All team members shouted: "God bless Britain!"
....
In the Tokyo Akihabara Mitsubishi Team building, the sound of applause, cheers, celebratory horns, and fireworks echoed throughout the building. All team members opened champagne for a wild celebration!
At this time, on the dozen large screens on the command center wall, the rumbling volcano, the scorching magma flows rose and raged fiercely around the Pool of Radiance. Under the invasion of the magma earthquake, the protective barrier of the Pool of Radiance emitted weak and powerless tremors and struggles.
At this point, it should be the time for the Elf side NPC to issue Epic Quests to recruit Bright Alliance players to oppose the Hell Race’s attack, right? Unfortunately, China’s storyline won’t repeat here; no warriors in the Japan zone will respond to the NPC’s call. No, there are still some, if the undercover member’s merit is sufficient, they can still take quests and further consume World Tree’s resources undercover, accelerating World Tree’s destruction!
Just then, a gigantic figure of a Flame Demon appeared in the rumbling volcano, its presence like a sun illuminating the entire underground world, its boisterous laughter shaking the underground space: "Warriors of the Demon King, you have created a miracle! Those of you with outstanding merit will receive the title of Demon Lord and advance to the forest of the strong! Let the fires of the Demon God cleanse your humble and filthy bodies!"
As the Flame spoke, it launched dozens of black flames at the fifteen main players led by Hirata Hirao. For a moment, all the main players’ avatar characters howled in misery amidst the black fire and thick smoke!
"Your mission is slaughter, conquest, destruction! Warriors, keep striving!" Amidst the resonant and reverberating laughter, the blazing figure of the Flame Demon vanished.
Then, a series of system prompt sounds echoed in the Mitsubishi Command Center hall:
–– System Prompt: You have obtained the Demon Lord title, you have advanced to a Mid-level Demon! Attack +10, Defense +10, Magic Power +10, Knowledge +10, Personal Damage +10, Morale +1, you have gained 100 free attribute points and 10 Free Skill Points. Your Demon Reputation +30,000, World Reputation +3,000, Personal Life +500, you have gained the Lord Skill: Desecrate!
–– Desecrate: Damage to Bright Creatures +50%.
...
At this moment, the entire command center once again erupted in thunderous cheers, as fifteen core team members who successfully advanced were thrown high by their teammates, caught, and thrown again.
At this moment, Igarashi and Captain Tsukamoto only needed to hold their wine glasses and silently smile while watching the team members celebrate. This was their festival, their deserved revelry. In comparison to the achievements made by everyone, China’s Da Fei was not much, he was just one person, but we are a team.
Just then, a team member came to report: "President, Captain, there is a situation in the European Union Zone, the British and French have drawn their blades!"
Igarashi’s brow twitched: "Let me take a look!"
The big screen immediately switched to the European Union Zone. At this time, thousands of players in the European Union Zone were in an uproar, only to see a golden Angel Hero lead dozens of Angels rise into the sky on the battlefield, receive the worship of thousands, and then turn into a golden meteor, no, a comet, quickly disappearing with the troops into the distance of the Despair Plain!
At this moment, Igarashi was shocked: "That is Lancelot from the Royal Ark, is he actually an Angel Hero?"
But it wasn’t over yet! The journalist’s live broadcast camera switched to the French team member Napoleon, Napoleon let out a long laugh, a flash of light, the thunderous sound of a horse neighing, an iron-clad tall horse appeared on the battlefield in the dazzling light!
The crowd erupted again!
Napoleon jumped onto the horse, waving a long spear, excitedly exclaiming: "Charge with me!"
In an instant, the entire screen erupted in thunderous celebration, and at this moment, the celebratory shouts in the entire Mitsubishi Command Center suddenly came to an abrupt halt!
Tsukamoto sneered and said: "Our old friends hid very deep, one is an Angel, another is a Champion Knight, are they demonstrating to us? But compared to our 15 Demon Lords, they are insignificant!"
The team members shouted one after another: "We will let them know what true power is on the national war battlefield!"
At this moment, a discordant system prompt suddenly sounded from a certain big screen:
–– System Prompt: Warning! Your 5 Elite Mage Force units were hit and killed by volcanic rocks ejected from a volcano!
Elite Mage Force? The whole room was taken aback, and looked unanimously towards Hirata Hirao’s big screen.
Hirata Hirao was also taken aback, then with a helpless smile said: "To encounter such a thing, I will resurrect immediately!"
Igarashi waved and smiled: "Hirata, you’ve worked hard today, go rest and sleep immediately. Mr. Tsukamoto will take over for you overnight. You must get a good rest, your task in the next three days will be extremely challenging, and our European Union captains are working hard to develop."
Hirata Hirao: "Yes! I will faithfully bear the hope of Japan and rest well! For these three days, I have handed all my treasures in the dormitory to Captain Tsukamoto, I want to be pure-hearted and desireless!"
Tsukamoto coughed and said: "President, I think all the main team members should rest, let the second-line team members take over the finishing work from the main team members."
Igarashi nodded and smiled: "Alright, everyone has worked hard!"
"Yes! President and Captain have worked hard!"
