Chapter 1373: Chapter 1278: Deirdre Succeeds
At 3 PM Beijing Time, as the world’s curious eyes are focused on the meteor-flying new battlefield, Cold Jade City, and elite players from various countries participating in the national war are exploring the mysteries of Cold Jade Mine, the long-forgotten Teleportation Array at Ancient Tree Wall Square No.3 suddenly glows repeatedly, and thousands of Bright Alliance players from Japan appear.
As soon as these players appeared, they followed the recently received orders and gathered on various streets, at the gates of barracks, and key locations around the city, instantly blocking the entire city!
Then, the hundreds of elite undercover players from the Special Action Team, already in position according to the plan, made their move. Their target was to assist Sly God and "Farina" in focusing attacks to kill a key deputy officer under the General in an alley where a patrol team must pass! This was the easiest target to kill, chosen by Sly God after careful observation and research.
There’s no denying that the victory of Wall No.3 and the fatigue from days of battle indeed made the NPC garrison relax! Of course, even if they were on guard, it wouldn’t help; without head-on players interfering with killing red-named enemies, even the smartest NPCs can’t withstand Japan’s players’ well-drilled road-blocking tactics!
Moreover, even if the road-blocking is about to fail, players blocking the roads will willingly attack NPCs with red names to delay the battle upfront, gaining time for subsequent teammates to re-block and surround the road!
The piercing alarm resounds throughout the city, and the white light of Japanese player deaths in various streets and alleys frequently rises like festive fireworks. This is the price of sabotaging NPCs of the same camp during the national war, not only experiencing loss upon death but also resurrecting directly in an imprisonment equivalent to being sealed! However, all sacrifices are necessary.
Meanwhile, at the assassination site of the deputy officer, as Farina took action, three beams of black light descended from heaven and enveloped the entire patrol team of the deputy officer, shocking all players at the scene and the commanding Mitsubishi Command Center!
Sly God shouted in amazement, "This is the legendary Super Divine Artifact Curse Armor!"
"How is that possible!!!" The Mitsubishi team was uproarious, but no one doubted their own eyes! The effects of reducing speed, defense, and attack with three curse effects undeniably matched those of the Curse Armor announced during the public beta!
So, to fully confirm it’s a Super Divine Artifact, we just need to wait for one more thing—And indeed, Farina did not keep everyone waiting for long. In the next moment, Farina raised her hand and released a Delay Magic that further slowed down the already slowed deputy officer’s team!
"A stackable Delay Magic!"
At this moment, the Mitsubishi team command center rose up collectively in an uproar!
Indeed, whether it’s players or NPCs, the same spell they cast themselves can’t be stacked but refreshes the effects of the previous spell. Stackable situations only occur with special skills brought by Divine Artifacts! It’s undeniably the Super Divine Artifact Curse Armor!
As professional players, everyone knows what Curse Armor signifies! It means this Farina is equivalent to a humanoid artifact, its value beyond imagination.
At this moment, Sly God cried out in excitement, "Gentlemen, do you still believe such an existence will merely be a player’s Vice Hero? Even if she once was, would Da Fei not reclaim the Super Divine Artifact and fire her? The more important question is, would Da Fei even have such a set of Super Divine Artifacts?"
Tsukamoto sighed, "As long as there is a Super Divine Artifact, nothing else matters!"
The unexpected appearance of the Curse Armor made the ambush operation, already with high chances of success, become absolutely certain. When the NPC deputy officer’s team was completely wiped out, Farina took off the Druid’s headband dropped by the deputy officer, a symbol of identity only lost when a Druid dies in battle.
"Warrior, see you at the base!" After speaking, Farina transformed into a red mist and disappeared!
"Victory!" At this moment, applause echoed in the Mitsubishi command center!
Sly God was even more excited, getting up to shake hands with each of his teammates. To Sly God, this was the crucial first step to possessing Farina.
...
At this moment, in the Underworld, Da Fei was still awaiting news from Elena on the underground river bank, also anxious about Deirdre’s battle situation. It’s only at times like this that Da Fei truly hopes that the Japanese players would be somewhat reliable.
Just then, Da Fei’s friend notification rang out, and upon seeing it, it was Bloodrose Qiqi once again.
Bloodrose Qiqi: "Brother Fei, just now, thousands of Japanese players suddenly gathered at Ancients Tree Wall No.3 to block the way and killed a group of NPCs in the Japanese zone, seems like there’s a big move! Should we send someone back to defend Battle No.3?"
Damn it! Of course not, you should let Deirdre accumulate great merit through killing! But hearing this situation, could it be that Deirdre has succeeded? Excellent!
Da Fei replied perfunctorily, "Well, hard to say, I’d rather have Japanese players messing around as long as they don’t cause trouble in Cold Jade City."
Bloodrose Qiqi said in surprise, "Were Cold Jade City and Fire Cave City developed by Brother Fei?"
Da Fei laughed and said, "Yes, I unintentionally made things a bit high-spec, seems like it’s turned into a Divine War, right? Anyway, my personal advice, if you have the strength, focus on working with Silena on tasks. She’s the Tree God, and I’ve become her protector. As for other NPCs on the battlefield, aside from the lower specs, and rewards for achievements and tasks already collected, why bother? After all, they’re all Japanese NPCs; their Japanese players don’t care, why should we worry so much? At worst, after everyone rises with the Tree God, we can just return and retake the task once again!"
Bloodrose Qiqi exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother Fei, what do you mean by protector?"
Da Fei laughed in surprise and displayed his Protector career bonus: "Ancient Tree Divine Sect’s Protector, Strategic Attack and Defense +30, are you scared?"
Bloodrose Qiqi exclaimed, "Oh my god, this position bonus is too fierce! Completely like wearing two extra pieces of equipment!"
Da Fei laughed, "That’s why I say, do whatever you need to do, don’t ask me, I’m busy being chased by the Demon God!"
Bloodrose Qiqi hurriedly said, "Got it, sorry to disturb, Brother Fei!"
Hmph! Good that you know, help hold down the Cold Jade Battlefield for me! Just as Da Fei was reflecting, Selvia hurriedly came over with a cheerful expression.
Da Fei couldn’t help but smile, ready to listen.
As expected, Selvia said excitedly, "Deirdre sent a message; she got a Staff Deputy Officer position at the Demon Army Headquarters!"
Really? Da Fei asked Lamia, "Miss Lamia, what kind of position is a Staff Deputy Officer?"
Lamia’s face darkened: "That’s the position I used to hold under the General."
Da Fei laughed, "Looks like she took your job!"
Lamia’s expression changed, then chuckled: "Since I followed the master, those positions are meaningless, not worth my jealousy! Master, actually, I still have a way to sabotage Shadow City."
Da Fei gleefully asked, "What way?"
Lamia said lightly, "Of course, by transforming and infiltrating Shadow City. But to ensure there’s no suspicion, I need Miss Ista and three dancers to act as my attendants."(To be continued.
