Chapter 813 - 769: Good Deeds Are Rewarded
Although Lancelot must die, this Spider Hero also needs to be dealt with, so Da Fei tried to shake the sleeping Elda: "Miss Elda! Lady Elda!?"
This time, Elda woke up immediately with a start and asked urgently, "Did you discover something?"
Da Fei was taken aback. How did she wake up so quickly this time? He pointed to the River Monster behind them, "Isn’t that something?"
Elda snorted, "Get to the point!"
Damn! It seems that as a member of the player team, when players discover something, the system automatically shares the information with NPCs, so vice heroes always seem to make talking effortless.
Da Fei sighed, "I discovered the enemy forces’ Spider Hero at the dock. I want to know, after it uses its Soul Binding Spider Web Skill to take control of the adventurer’s troops, if we defeat it afterward, will we be able to reclaim those captured troops?"
Elda frowned, "What do you think?"
Why is this the same tone as that time in the tavern? Da Fei laughed awkwardly, "I just want to know."
"Do you think it’s possible?" Elda snapped as she drew a bottle of wine and drank sullenly, "Our ally is in trouble, and he’s a friend who bought me a lot of drinks. I want to save him, will you join me?"
Damn, ally my ass! He’s clearly a side chick! Just a few drinks bought your loyalty? Save my ass! Da Fei pointed to the River Monster chasing them with a bitter smile, "But I can’t go to save him!"
Elda said calmly, "Just hand over the troops to me for the rescue, okay?"
— System Prompt: Your team hero Elda has requested to lead the troops on an Independent Expedition. Do you agree?
Ah, spit! Da Fei was nearly spitting blood! Damn it, another Independent Expedition. Last time it was at least for a justifiable reason, to board the ship and fight the Abyss Lord reinforcements. But this time it’s to save her old flame, my rival! Don’t even think about it!
The problem is, last time I refused her, she got all passive-aggressive and unpleasant. Can I refuse again this time? Not to mention she has the excuse of rescuing allies. If I reject her, who knows how much our friendship level will drop?
Da Fei said anxiously, "Miss Elda, you’ve exhausted so much energy and haven’t rested long enough, how can you go on an Independent Expedition?"
Elda clapped her hands and had an epiphany, "You’re right, I’m indeed not in a good state!"
Only then did Da Fei breathe a sigh of relief, "Exactly!"
"— So!" Elda extended a hand to Da Fei, "It seems you have quite nice equipment, lend me some gear for the expedition!"
Ah, spit! Da Fei nearly spat out his liver! Damn it, are you serious?! Don’t push your luck! My Divine Equipment hasn’t even been lent to my wife (well, directly given), yet you, without any official status, ask to borrow my God-level gear? Especially to rescue a side chick? No way!
Da Fei tearfully said, "Do you really have to go?"
Elda said seriously, "Time is running out, if we don’t rescue them, our army’s warriors will die in vain, and our soldiers will forever become enemy forces!"
No matter how you look at it, a hero smart enough to ask the player to borrow equipment can’t be simply classified as an epic legend, right? If I must painfully look on the bright side, it shows Elda is a loyal NPC who won’t abandon friends in need. This level of loyalty makes me ashamed of my self-interest!
Da Fei sighed deeply, "Go ahead, I’ll keep Elifel for healing..."
— System Prompt: You have agreed to your team hero Elda’s Independent Expedition request, assigning her 13 Elite Power Angel troops and 4 Elite Authority Angel troops. You have lent Elda the S-grade strategic equipment "Wind God’s Strike," S-grade equipment "Multi-headed Snake Recovery Ring," S-grade strategic equipment "Evasion Talisman," Divine Artifact "Flame Shield," Divine Artifact "Earth Dragon King’s Boots," Divine Artifact "Brutal Tooth"...
Elda threw away the wine bottle, got up immediately, her body once again shrouded in black smoke, revealing the true form of the silver-haired, black-armored angel: "I’m setting out now!" She said, then led the entire ship’s angels, soaring towards the riverbank.
Oh, life is just this torturous! Who’d have thought Lancelot could make an NPC take the initiative to save him? Damn, he’s undeniably a God-level player! Watching the now-empty ship and the pursuing River Monster behind, Da Fei shook his head helplessly.
— System Prompt: You activate the God-level Reconnaissance Technique "Phantom March," and your troops enter a Stealth State.
With two people in Stealth, of course, the River Monster can’t detect them. Da Fei focused his attention on Little Fei, who was scouting ahead. Right now, Lancelot was struggling fiercely, hacking away and taking medicine amidst the spider web, looking very much like a drowning dog.
Speaking of which, isn’t my current state of soaking in the river just like a drowning dog? The difference is, he’s got someone to save him; I have no one and might get beaten too. Maybe the French, while verbally asking me for help, never actually expected me to save them? Maybe, deep down, the French are hoping the British get into more trouble and don’t really want me to rescue them either. Yet, here I am, bound by duty and tormentingly rushing to the rescue.
Speaking of which, it’s awfully dull when everything about a person is predictable, isn’t it? As they say in Star Chow’s God of Cookery: "If you can guess everything, what the hell am I here for?"
Well, I’ve already taken action, at least let me be unpredictable to them! Da Fei then sent a message to Napoleon, "Attention, my Angel Hero is leading all troops out, tell Lancelot to hold on until reinforcements arrive!" Along with which he attached a screenshot of the Angel troops flying into the distance.
As the message notification sounded, the chatroom of the four-country team, previously silent, looked up at the big screen in amazement, followed by an uproar!
Prince George, in his dim and dazed state, could hardly believe his eyes: "Da Fei has made a move? How is that possible! How is that possible!"
Napoleon hastily sent a reply to confirm: "Mr. Da Fei, didn’t you say you were being chased by the River Monster? How could you possibly save us?"
Da Fei chuckled: "Being chased by the River Monster is one thing, rescuing people is another. These are two separate matters, don’t mix them up! In short, when reinforcements arrive, use whatever trump cards you have quickly!"
At this moment, the entire chat room erupted, and the despairing Royal Ark Command Center was as if it had been injected with adrenaline, exclaiming loudly: "Captain! Reinforcements have arrived, we must hold on!"
At this moment, Lancelot was tearing up, babbling incoherently: "Jesus, Holy Mother Mary, Saint George, Saint Paul, Muhammad, Buddha above! Please give me this chance, I will never let fate’s redemption down again!!"
As Lancelot eagerly awaited, the alarm at the dock camp sounded again — reinforcements had appeared! In the sky, a radiant halo led more than a dozen blood-red lights rushing towards them!
Spider Hero laughed maniacally: "Coming at the right time!"
A flash of Thunder Light appeared in the sky, and a massive Space Gate emerged once again, from which countless Flying Demons poured out like a tidal wave!
Damn it, a pitfall within a pitfall! At this moment, Da Fei jumped up in shock, and the top-level commanders of the four nation teams screamed in astonishment!
At this moment, Elda’s firm voice came from the sky: "Warrior, meeting in such an environment is emotional. Are you willing to fight alongside me?"
——System Prompt: Angel Hero Elda invites you to join her hero team. Do you accept?
At this moment, the entire Royal Ark Team was so excited they cried out: "Our little angel is still on our side! May our friendship last forever!"
Lancelot was overjoyed and choked up, speechless— he joined!
As Lancelot and all 33 angels joined the team, thanks to the Divine Artifact Effect of Elda and the Angel Leader aura, Lancelot’s legion’s combat power suddenly surged, immediately tearing a corner of the spider web!
Prince George shouted insanely: "Don’t conserve any scrolls, blast them to pieces!"
The entire team’s companions shouted passionately: "This is the decisive moment to regain our little angel’s favor, we must go all out!"
Lancelot, excited, grabbed a handful of scrolls and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I’ll blow you up!!!"
For a moment, various golden, blue, and red arrays appeared densely among the Flying Demon horde, and then various golden Thunderstorm, blue ice, and red Fireballs burst like fireworks and cannons among the horde! Numerous three-digit Magic Damage filled the entire screen. The most beautiful scenery among the fireworks was the sweeping harvest of Elda’s legion!
At this moment, Da Fei was stunned by Lancelot’s scroll bombardment! What level is this? This is the power of a large guild! If the team’s healing couldn’t keep up, wouldn’t they be blown away? If the soldiers they commanded had no Magic Resistance, wouldn’t they be wiped out in swathes by him? If I encountered him and truly engaged, I might really not be able to beat him?
At this point, the top-level commanders of the four nation teams were equally stunned: "What did we just witness?"
"Can anyone tell me why this Red-winged Angel’s attack triggers a vampire’s life-stealing effect?"
"This Red-winged Angel isn’t something available in Divine Punishment City, right? Before Da Fei’s expedition, wasn’t there no such Red-winged Angel?"
While everyone was debating, Spider Hero’s furious and humiliated roar erupted: "Worms! Don’t be too arrogant! Don’t underestimate our Defense Army, don’t think we’re all foolish easy targets—"
In the midst of speaking, a sticky spider silk ensnared Lancelot, who was passionately tossing scrolls, and then Spider Hero’s massive figure turned into a black shadow, charging over— bang!
The large screen on the wall suddenly went gray, and the gloomy system prompt sound echoed loudly!
——System Prompt: Regrettably! You have been slain by the enemy hero Azitama, you have lost 230,000 Experience, lost 4310 Gold Coins, and dropped the C-rank strategic treasure "Telescope". You have lost command of your troops, which are now under the command of the main army leader Elda!
At this moment, the command room of the four nation teams fell into silence!
At this moment, staring at the suddenly extinguished fireworks, Da Fei suddenly snapped back to reality— dead? Lancelot really got killed?
Oh damn! Quickly retreat! Da Fei immediately commanded Little Fei to appear, covering the entire field with the Petrification Aura!
And Elda’s intelligence did not disappoint Da Fei, she instantly recognized the situation and immediately led the troops, breaking through, soaring into the sky!
Watching the rear of the troops with the newly joined thirty-plus white angels, Da Fei finally understood what was going on in a moment of realization! At this moment, Da Fei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, the tangled and oppressive aura dissipated with his laughter!
So, this is how it is! Elda is teaching me— good deeds are rewarded! Haha, wahahahaha~~~
