Chapter 96: Chapter 93 The Number One Person in Hell in the China Region Chapter 96 -93 The Number One Person in Hell in the China Region A pink cloud of fog enveloped the oncoming Nightmare Beast squad, and in that instant, its charge came to a sudden halt.
—System Prompt: Your Charming Emperor’s Army has cast a charm spell on the Nightmare Beast! The Nightmare Technique is temporarily out of control.
A glimmer of hope for a decisive victory, Da Fei was overjoyed! Among the system prompts earlier, was there a hint that the Charming Emperor became a qualified soldier? Hahaha! But now wasn’t the time to check their attribute status; the current goal was to escape the enemy, dash towards the barrier, and head for the beach!
Amidst the shrill alarms that echoed through the camp, the nearest mobile patrol galloped forward with thunderous iron hooves and billowing dust!
—Swish, swish, swish! Two rows of crossbow arrows burst through the barrier, shattering the ice chips, sending horses tumbling and flesh flying!
Hahaha! Those who block me, fall away!
The golden barrier shimmered like the finish line of a hundred-meter dash, the alarms echoing in the camp like the deafening cheers of spectators, and the frenzied patrol soldiers were like lagging contestants making one last challenge to the champion! Da Fei made his final sprint towards the finish line, saw the blurred silhouette of the Flying on the other side of the light, and heard the beautiful music of the crossbow cannon’s blasts—finish line! Crossed! Victory!
Hahaha! Da Fei’s laughter echoed above the Pool of Radiance, causing all the beetles to tremble! Yes, tremble, beetles!!!
…
Shergo Demon Palace. Dragon Slayer Guild’s professional player, China Region’s number one in Hell, Lei Ren, with the game ID Lei Huolong, sat quietly on the steps in front of the hall, waiting for the final moment to come.
For hours, he had been chatting nonstop, constantly calling people; he was incredibly excited, thoroughly enjoying the process. After being on TV for the past few hours, he transformed from an unknown backup player into a national war celebrity in the China Region. The feeling of rising to fame overnight was indescribable. After overcoming his initial shyness, he quickly adapted to his new status, knowing that he’d hit it big. The boss was hoping to use this national war as a star-making opportunity! Yes, he was the rising star in the China Region, even in the World Zone!
When Dragon Slayer Guild first joined Heroic Creation Era, the boss invested a considerable amount of money in the lottery. Fortunately, the lottery yielded many powerful Undead Heroes, especially Chang Liang’s account’s special skill, which the boss kept a secret and regarded as a secret weapon. Even Lei Ren, who was part of the same professional team as him, didn’t know what Chang Liang’s special skill was.
In any case, the guild’s primary development direction was set on the Undead, and the Undead was, indeed, a highly popular, cool, and powerful race.
During the lottery, other race accounts were drawn, such as Lei Huolong’s Hell Race special skill “Hell Dog Master”—the hero gains 1 attack and defense point for Hellhounds every 2 levels. This special skill was nicknamed Dog King.
Primary combat unit skills were all good skills. The Level 3 Soldier Hellhound, as the core unit of the Hell Race, combined mobility, charge, output, and fodder production, was definitely a good skill. Giving this account to a general peripheral member was a waste, so Lei Ren, the newly qualified professional player, took it over. And this account was indeed worthy of assigning a professional player.
—Hell Three-headed Dog: Small Demon unit, Attack 4, Defense 2, Damage 4-6, Life 15, Attack Speed 11, Move Speed 22, Command Value 2, Special Skill: Triple Attack, Interrupt Attack.
Triple Attack means it can simultaneously attack three people standing in a row in front, and troops usually form a battle array. Hence, a Hellhound’s bite typically hits three, so its actual damage output is not 4-6, but 12-18! That’s a Level 5 Soldier standard!
Interrupt Attack goes without saying; take the Flower Demon as an example, if a group of Hellhounds surrounded the enemy, the enemy would be unable to fight back—it’s an absolute counterattack block, unless allied forces help, otherwise, the enemy would be bitten to death. For a Hell Race without ranged attacks in the first three levels and with the Second-level Soldiers being worthless, the Hellhound carried many responsibilities for the Hell Race. Among various races, the Hellhound was undoubtedly one of the top-level Level 3 Soldiers, comparable to the Jungle Hunter.
However, the unfortunate fact was, a mere 15 life points for a Hellhound was far from sufficient. Thus, the Dog King special skill was extremely useful. Meanwhile, the elite form of the Hellhound, the Hellfire Breath Dog, is an existence that shocked and terrified all other races, nicknamed Little Fire Dragon. It could spew flames from its three heads, causing widespread burn damage to enemies while biting, entirely unlike ordinary three-headed dogs.
Of course, the elite form of troops was typically unique to NPC forces, difficult for players to acquire. Therefore, the company assigned Lei Huolong the mission of acquiring the Flame Breath Dog. The task was so challenging and long-term that no one truly expected him to attain it, making Lei Huolong rather carefree. And the advantage of being carefree was that Lei Huolong discovered something new: the Dog King’s special skill easily wooed and recruited wild Hellhound monsters!
In the current scenario, with Level 3 Soldiers rarely appearing, the Dog King’s ability to recruit core Level 3 Hellhound units in the wild was terrifying! Hellhound monsters were daunting foes even players feared to touch. Essentially, wild Hellhounds were just waiting to be recruited by Lei Huolong!
Therefore, the biggest problem troubling Lei Huolong was the need to increase the Command Power to raise the troop limit. Master Level Leadership Skill, still not enough! +100 Command Value Hundred Demon Captain, still not enough! Tavern trash Vice Heroes focusing only on command, still not enough! Applying to the boss for a massive fund to purchase A-grade treasure Leadership Medal to increase command power, denied! The boss only agreed to assign a small account to take on the Hellhounds Lei Huolong couldn’t fit.
In conclusion, getting promoted was Lei Huolong’s only righteous path to enhance Command Power. Thus, he thrived in Shergo Demon Palace’s officialdom, and receiving an Epic Quest from the Demon King was only natural.
Lei Huolong believed that, at this stage, even the top God-level Hero from Japan wouldn’t be his match. The boss placed great emphasis on this national war, surely equipping him with key guild treasures, ensuring that he defeated the Japan Region’s God-level hero before the nation, bringing glory to his country!
Of course, the idea was good; the key issue was that Hell Race in the China Region lacked formidable support, leaving him alone to struggle with his dogs.
While chatting, angry roars echoed from the Demon King Hall, “I disagree! I disagree!!”
Lei Huolong was startled, what was going on?
At this moment, a Demon Envoy approached, “Lord Lei Huolong, the Demon King wants to see you, please follow me.”
Finally, there was a new development, but my recruitment preparations weren’t complete!
Lei Huolong couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Sir, what just happened?”
The Demon Envoy solemnly replied, “Just a reminder, the Lord Demon King is in a terrible mood right now, be careful. Earlier, that Lord Asmode was defeated by a Super Hero sent by the Elf Clan at the Pool of Radiance front, and the Demon King is furious and punishing him.”
Lei Huolong’s jaw dropped in shock, “How’s that possible! Even if the hero is at level 30 and super, how could he defeat that guy, that Asmode?”
The Demon Envoy replied gravely, “That’s why the Demon King is furious!”
“Could it be that the Super Hero is a ‘Son of God’? This can’t be a player, right?” Lei Huolong realized the grave complexity of the situation, realizing a tactical change was necessary! He needed to report this to the boss.
(Note: Heroes, whether players or NPCs, won’t truly die)
With a change of scene, Lei Huolong entered a bubbling Lava Lake, where a long crystal bridge extended to a throne at the lake’s center—this was the Demon Palace.
Covered entirely in flames, the Demon King didn’t bother waiting for Lei Huolong to cross the bridge; a flame sword descended from the sky, planted itself before Lei Huolong.
The Demon King’s voice echoed through the heavens, “This is a replica of the Divine Artifact, Doomsday Blade, usable only once. You, seize the opportunity to complete this mission; do not bring shame upon me again!”
—Doomsday Blade (Fake Divine Artifact, Mission Item): Magic Power +10, capable of casting a single God-level Destruction Technique, Doombringer.
—Doombringer: Casts a fire attribute indiscriminate attack magic on all battlefield creatures.
Lei Huolong was utterly stunned!
