Chapter 903 - 855: Beelzebub Forces Japan to Change Its Plans!
Red Name Village had a special visitor arrive today—the world-renowned professional player, Lancelot, captain of the British Royal Ark Team. Even the Phoenix Feather players, who usually see themselves as above all, couldn’t help but be stirred by his presence.
The higher the level of amateur players, the more they realize the gap between themselves and professional players. Not to mention, Lancelot only revealed his Angel Race identity publicly yesterday. He is undoubtedly a top expert.
The reason for his presence here was obvious; he was definitely here to find the Angel that was taken away by Da Fei. As soon as he appeared, all members of the Da Fei Dragon Cavalry Commerce became highly vigilant.
Yet Lancelot upheld the British gentleman’s tradition, politely waving to each player present, even squatting by the pond to fish while chatting with several foreign red-named players, patiently smiling and answering their tactical questions.
It must be said, his appearance indeed brought a ray of bright and warm sunlight to the deathly dull atmosphere of Red Name Village.
Only Brother Hao quietly sat at the fishing platform, ignoring Lancelot’s greetings, not even glancing at him. Brother Hao’s stance further solidified the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce’s united determination against outsiders.
Of course, everyone was unaware that Brother Hao was very busy at the moment.
The rumor that Da Fei possessed Beelzebub’s power promptly reached Ono Shinichiro via the internal intelligence lines of the Dragon Slayer Guild. Ono Shinichiro was stunned for a while, still unsure what exactly this Beelzebub was!
The informant grew anxious and specifically explained to Ono Shinichiro that Beelzebub’s race belonged to the highest-level 7 Demon Lords of the Hell Race—a member of the Fly Demon King family. Furthermore, the informant elaborated that Satan, the most famous among the 7 Demon Lords, was the top-tier being just slightly weaker than the Light God, and Beelzebub, a fellow Demon Lord, equated to being on par with the Light God.
In short, the informant wanted to tell the "guild information collector" that this intelligence was very valuable, worth at least 500 yuan!
Meanwhile, as Ono Shinichiro muddled through websites searching for information about Beelzebub, an informant from Ninth Heaven also sent a message. He directly forwarded the video of Blood Sea Wave versus Da Fei to Ono Shinichiro!
It was then that Ono suddenly realized. Soon after, the Star informant delivered the same intelligence to Ono. Only then did Ono realize he had received a truly shocking piece of information.
Ono immediately sent the video back to the Mitsubishi Team Headquarters.
In that instant, the Mitsubishi Team was astonished! For the Japan Mitsubishi Team, specializing in the Hell Race, the Demon God family of the 72 Pillars were an unreachable existence—let alone the more advanced Demon Lord family. Though aware of Da Fei’s ahead-of-time strength, realizing such level seemed utterly ruthless!
Facing such intelligence, Igarashi and everyone reacted similarly: "Is this intelligence real?"
Ono Shinichiro instantly replied: "Not entirely sure, but the three major guilds in the China Region have confirmed it!"
Igarashi promptly responded: "Continue gathering relevant intelligence; we will fully analyze this information!"
"Hey-ee!"
Igarashi immediately convened the senior members of the team to thoroughly analyze the video, which lasted only a few minutes.
The video documented Blood Sea Wave discovering Da Fei’s fleet entering the ambush zone, followed by the pirate fleet emerging from hiding. Then the radar transition showed the pirate’s encirclement, entering the vortex gate in vain, switching scenes, and encountering a two-second air raid alert from this "Beelzebub," followed by Blood Sea Wave skillfully diving underwater to hide for a minute, and finally, the appearance of two or three frogman assassins in the water concluding the process.
After watching the entire video, Igarashi asked: "Gentlemen, how credible is this video?"
Gunno Yosai exclaimed in shock: "It’s hard to imagine; this Blood Sea Wave, as an amateur player, managed to organize such a high-level ambush! Leaving aside authenticity, just the pirate ship’s stealth ambush alone is a masterstroke! Both sides mobilized high-end NPCs, appearing in the Otherworld seas—this is a high-level video rarely seen even among professional players."
Dragon of Echigo nodded: "Indeed, if not for the Transmission Artifact achieving a reversal of attack and defense, Da Fei’s fleet would absolutely be unable to withstand this ambush! Judging by the meticulousness of this ambush, it was a sure-win strike by Blood Sea Wave, not theatrics."
Igarashi nodded: "With the recent unrest at China’s port, it’s evident that Da Fei’s archenemy Blood Sea Wave and Royal Guild have orchestrated it. Seeing this ambush was part of their operations, the video’s authenticity is undeniable. The key is this peculiar troop—is it truly Beelzebub?"
The team members exchanged glances: "None of us have seen Beelzebub, and we also doubt whether such a God-level race can exist in the game."
Dragon of Echigo smiled: "Wouldn’t it be easier to have Da Fei confirm it himself?"
Sessho Kanpaku shook his head: "Da Fei wouldn’t confirm it because this is the secret Da Fei is fiercely guarding!"
Igarashi’s eyebrows twitched: "Reason?"
Sessho Kanpaku: "Judging by the timing of Beelzebub’s attack in the video and the thick fog covering the entire scene, it was clearly initiated by Da Fei when Blood Sea Wave couldn’t take in his surroundings during a scene switch. The intention is obvious: a surprise assassination. But such a lone decapitation attempt is extremely risky. Given Da Fei’s absolute advantage, he shouldn’t need to take such risks, which indicates he’s very confident in Beelzebub’s strength and also doesn’t want Blood Sea Wave to see more of his secrets."
Igarashi chimed in: "However, Blood Sea Wave was equally vigilant and managed to hide successfully for a minute. This minute allowed us to witness Beelzebub’s strength!"
Sessho Kanpaku: "Exactly! That’s why Da Fei was urgent and even sent a frogman to assassinate the strategically worthless Blood Sea Wave, with the sole purpose of keeping secrets!"
Igarashi nodded: "Makes sense! Does anyone have other thoughts?"
Gunno Yosai stood up and said: "Regardless of whether this monster is Beelzebub or whether it’s Da Fei’s own attribute bonus making him so strong, there’s one undeniable point: this far surpasses any troop type we know, including the angels of Divine Punishment City. Probably for this reason, Da Fei, with his deceitful nature, traded back the 33 British angels honestly, because he no longer values the power of the angels."
Igarashi let out a long sigh: "Very reasonable, what do you all think?"
Everyone exclaimed: "The threat is immense! We have fallen far behind Da Fei!"
At this moment, the duty captain Tsukamoto Hideki, who was operating the God-level Hero with Absolute Misfortune, appeared: "President, do you mean to modify our army’s plan?"
Igarashi sighed: "Mr. Tsukamoto, now a precious day of Absolute Misfortune’s time has passed. This day should have completed one third of our planned goals, but in reality, the Bright Alliance’s NPCs have become smarter. After suffering several major defeats, they no longer confront us head-on, but instead hold their outposts firmly, greatly delaying our progress, don’t they?"
Tsukamoto Hideki sighed: "Hey! This is indeed an unexpected situation!"
Igarashi sighed: "So Mr. Tsukamoto, if Da Fei really possesses Beelzebub, how should we respond?"
Tsukamoto Hideki said in silence: "Perhaps, we should take advantage of the remaining two days of Absolute Misfortune to attempt a challenge against the 72 Demon God-level experts, striving to develop more powerful troop types and close the gap with Da Fei! However, it’s very risky! Even with Absolute Misfortune, victory is uncertain—"
At this point, Tsukamoto raised his voice: "President, just give me one more day, if we push harder, we will capture all the key fortresses of the Elf Kingdom, they will be doomed, and no allies can save them!"
Igarashi frowned: "How can you ensure that in the coming day, the Elf NPCs won’t become smarter? How can you ensure that the Elf NPCs won’t summon God-level experts for relief? Just like how Da Fei’s absolute advantage in the Pool of Radiance and Dragon Slayer Guild confrontation was instantly reversed by Leviathan’s appearance?"
Tsukamoto Hideki let out a long sigh: "I have no confidence at all! The NPC forces indeed have potential we cannot anticipate."
Gunno Yosai sighed: "Even if Da Fei doesn’t have Beelzebub, we should also revise our original plans! And this incident with Da Fei forces us to resolutely reform, I support the President’s reform!"
Sessho Kanpaku: "That’s right, although we’ve lost the opportunity to completely eliminate the Elves, their vitality is severely injured, and it’s impossible for them to recover in the short term. If we acquire higher-end Demon God Family troop types, we can still handle it even if the Elf Clan summons God-level experts."
Igarashi said solemnly: "What are your opinions?"
Everyone immediately said: "Our Japan has always been brave in taking risks and continuously achieving victories, defeating Tsarist Russia was like this! Defeating South Korea was like this! Defeating China was like this! Defeating the United States at Pearl Harbor was like this too! We are an undefeatable nation!"
Igarashi nodded decisively: "Implement Plan B!"
...
At this time, Ono Shinichiro, who was collecting intelligence to further confirm the authenticity of Beelzebub, received the latest update from Mitsubishi Headquarters. Due to Da Fei’s activities, headquarters changed the original plan to wipe out the Elf Kingdom’s NPC and ventured towards the previously least favored plan.
At this moment, Ono Shinichiro felt a strong unease! Is this strategic shift, concerning national fate, based on an uncertain piece of information too rash?
But no time for further thought, Red Name Village was in an uproar, members of the Red Cross exclaimed: "Back, it’s back, Brother Fei’s little secretary has flown back!"
And at that moment, Lancelot leapt up excitedly!
