Chapter 98 - 95 Deirdres Heros Road
Chapter 98: Chapter 95: Deirdre’s Hero’s Road Chapter 98 -95: Deirdre’s Hero’s Road Da Fei returned to the ship, where everyone was busy. Many Flower Demons had fainted on the deck as soon as they landed; having just been liberated from torment and then enduring two battles, they were completely drained. Selvia was directing the soldiers to carry these fainted Flower Demons to the dormitory to rest.
Catherine approached and asked, “Captain, what’s our next move?”
Da Fei pointed to the Flower Demon Instructor beside him with a smile, “That depends on her plan!”
The Flower Demon Instructor stepped forward and saluted, “Noble hero, thank you for rescuing a portion of our sisters. Now, the Pool of Radiance has been completely overtaken by Demon Worms, and especially our homeland has been invaded by insect nests. The insect nests can draw energy from the World Tree through our homeland. We must destroy all the insect nests and reclaim our home. Only by doing so can we revive the vitality of the World Tree. However, the insect nests are heavily supported by Demon Worms, and we need to rescue more sisters to fight against them.”
The feeling of foresight was simply too wonderful!
Da Fei laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ve already destroyed one insect nest. Can you restore your homeland?”
The Flower Demon Instructor rejoiced, “Yes! As long as our sisters are united, we can definitely restore our homeland! Once the home is restored, the World Tree’s power will provide us with more support. Please, hero, take us home!”
Da Fei burst out laughing, his work had already paved the way ahead!
Da Fei laughed, “Alright, you go back to your room to rest first.”
“Thank you, hero!”
Catherine smiled, “So we’ll immediately return to the Banshee Camp we captured?”
Da Fei shook his head, “Time is pressing! There are still more Flower Demons that I need to rescue. My idea is—” Da Fei turned his head to look at the Charming Emperor. He had been too busy fleeing before, only knowing that the two Little Babies were qualified, and he hadn’t had time to check their attributes. With such a turn of the head, his jaw dropped!
Catherine also couldn’t help exclaiming, “They’ve grown up!”
Da Fei nodded with a chuckle, “Yes! They’ve grown up indeed!”
Catherine exclaimed, “They’re almost bigger than me now!”
Da Fei drooled, “We’ll know if we compare!”
Catherine pouted, “Captain, you’re so bad!”
— Growing Elite Charming Emperor: Small elite Demon Creature, Attack 17, Defense 11, Damage 17-23, Health 137, Attack Speed 11, Command Value 12, special skill: Ranged Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique.
Seeing such attributes, Da Fei’s eyes bulged in amazement! The attack, defense, damage, and health indicators all reached the standard of level 6 troops! And they are still growing! What’s with this unscientific 12 Command Value? If it weren’t for the fact that he lost 7 Jungle Hunters and upgraded Selvia’s Leadership Skill by one level, freeing up 26 points of Command Power, he nearly couldn’t lead them!
Of course, these were not the key points. The key lay in the words “Elite Demon Creature”! What do these words mean? Any player’s first reaction would be wild monsters, instance monsters, task monsters! After all, the term “elite” is frequently encountered in wilderness instances and tasks.
For instance, a player might encounter an elite zombie in the wild, with 100 health points! Why should a mere zombie have so much health? The attributes of elite monsters are beyond reason, not to mention the bosses. As is well known, elite creatures are just one step away from bosses, though this step is as difficult as reaching heaven.
In short, so-called troops from level 0 to level 8, especially level 8 troops, no matter how impressive, can be produced in the barracks. But elites and bosses cannot be created.
Meaning, these Charming Emperors had already left the category of regular troops! Isn’t that obvious! Otherwise, how did my special soldier training come about? Could it be that I trained them through the special soldier training?
At that moment, Catherine coughed and chuckled, “I think Miss Selvia is right. They’re not little anymore; it’s time to dress them.”
Da Fei was suddenly startled! Dress them? How could that be? He pretended not to hear.
Da Fei came back to his senses, “First, let’s return to the Banshee Camp, I need to discuss important matters with Miss Deirdre!”
“Alright, I’ll start the ship immediately.”
The Flying ship once again set sail, while outside the barrier on the coast, a commotion was heard. From the gates of the Demon Race Factory, one after another large paddle ship, seemingly made of steel, was slowly pushed out towards the shore. Numerous Demon Infants laid rollers on the ground before the Demon Ships, preparing for the impending battle.
Da Fei returned to the Banshee Camp.
Deirdre walked up with a smile, “Welcome home, master, triumphant!”
Da Fei proudly pushed forward two Charm Emperors: “Check out the results of my expedition!”
Deirdre was suddenly shocked!
Hahaha, that’s exactly the expression I wanted! Da Fei laughed heartily: “My dear, tell me all about it!”
Deirdre said with a wry smile: “True to form, Master, their growth has far exceeded my expectations. In any case, I can now teach them the Banshee Race’s famous special skill Chain Shooting. As for the Transformation Skill, that will depend on how they grow. It still isn’t something that a typical Elite Banshee could learn.”
She then began to cast spells on the two Charm Emperors, who were enveloped in a white light.
A thought struck Da Fei. So, the Transformation Skill can only be learned by a BOSS? Although it’s not a combat skill, there is no doubt that it’s very useful. At the very least, it can allow me to pass through a Teleportation Array as an NPC, saving all the trouble of transporting troops.
If it’s already been successful with Elites, can a BOSS be far behind? Right, I should ask Deirdre for her insights on becoming a BOSS. While he was pondering,
——System Prompt: Your Charm Emperor’s Army has learned a new special skill “Chain Shooting”
——Chain Shooting: Banshees can unleash a long-range Flame Chain that deals damage. After the Flame Chain hits a target, it will bounce and attack the next adjacent target. Damage is halved with each bounce, up to 5 times. Targets hit by the Flame Chain will carry a Burn Vulnerability effect, which can increase the damage from the Hellfire of the Hell Race heroes. They are also extra vulnerable to Cold Ice Magic.
Da Fei, with a chuckle, said: “Honey, you’ve worked hard! You’ve worked hard! I want to know, how do you train soldiers into Elites, or even into leaders?”
Deirdre shook her head and sighed: “I can’t train them into Elites. Elites or leaders can’t just be cultivated on a whim; it requires actual combat, to be precise—as you’ve seen, Master—at least from a young age. As for what comes next, I’m not sure.”
Is that the official answer? Da Fei then asked: “So how did you grow to become a leader?”
Deirdre gave a faint smile: “I have to thank a Nun for that. It’s all in the past, so let’s not talk about it.” She sighed deeply: “I’ve always thought I was very fortunate, but now compared to them, I realize how many detours I’ve taken. Honestly, I’m quite jealous of their growth. I struggled and risked so much when I was young, and I almost died many times, yet my achievements still can’t catch up to theirs. They are truly fortunate to have met Master. Now I have nothing left to teach them; they need to continue to work hard. And now is the critical period for their growth, they must not slacken.”
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, a Nun? Monastery? Damn, Deirdre indeed has depth! This must surely be the plot quest that Bloodrose and the others received, right? Now Deirdre’s been swayed over to my side, but the quest is not—there’s a feeling like I’ve got her, but not her heart, huh?
Da Fei hurriedly consoled her: “Darling, meeting me is your fortune too! I will treat you well!”
Deirdre cooed with a smile: “Thank you, my Lord!”
Da Fei took a deep breath: “You’re right, now is indeed the critical period for their growth, and we cannot afford to slack. The matter of the Flower Demon Camp will be handed over to Catherine and the rest. I’ve decided to disembark immediately and continue to Stealth into the Demon Camp to rescue more Flower Demons. The stronger their abilities, the easier my rescue. I hope for them to make even larger breakthroughs!”
After finishing, Da Fei turned around to leave, and just at that moment, Deirdre grabbed Da Fei from behind!
Da Fei was startled: “What’s this about?”
Deirdre, pressing her bosom against Da Fei’s back, said in a deep voice: “Master, with such great opportunities—please take me with you!”
Da Fei was shocked: “You want to go? What for?” You’re an Instructor! If you die, that’s a huge loss!
Deirdre laughed: “Didn’t Master say he would treat me well? How could I be left out of such a breakthrough opportunity?”
Da Fei exclaimed: “You want a breakthrough?”
Deirdre said gravely: “From my youth, I’ve been exposed to death. I constantly improved my abilities in hopes of escaping death, but the more power I had, the greater the threat, and I was still unable to shake off the shadow of death. I’m afraid of dying, and my greatest wish is to attain immortality!”
Da Fei was invigorated: “You want to become a hero?” No wonder she knows so much! She understands more than Kate and Selvia! She really is insightful!
Deirdre cried: “Exactly! Only by becoming a hero can I escape from my fate! Although the distance from leader to hero is immensely far, having met Master, I’ve seen new hope. Master, you must have a way to make me a hero! Perhaps not now, but there must be a way in the future!”
——System Prompt: You’ve received Deirdre’s task “Hero’s Road.” Do you accept?
——Task Hint: Heroes are the Children of Destiny, divine beings beyond the reach of Mortals. The trials of a hero are arduous and unpredictable. Once the trial is successful, a hero like Deirdre, who has risen from the ranks, will be immensely powerful. Conversely, if the task fails, Deirdre will die. Please choose wisely.
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Isn’t this situation pretty much snagging the quest from Bloodrose?
