Chapter 1375: Chapter 1280: Shadow Prince
Now, Lamia returned to the Central Village to disguise for infiltrating the enemy city. Da Fei’s serpentine strategy officially commenced: Elena continued to host the array, constantly casting Earthquake Skill, with all the searchlights and cabin lights on the Flying turned on, reflecting off the river’s surface, making Flying seem like a lighthouse in the dark underground world, like an oil lamp used for killing insects in a wheat field!
Since it’s about luring the enemy, proper defense work around oneself is essential. The 8 Stone-statue Ghosts recovered from the Pool of Radiance battlefield were once again put to significant use; they were distributed by Da Fei in eight directions far from Flying to monitor fixed points. However, in the dark environment, the Stone-statue Ghosts’ vision was considerably affected. This could only be supplemented by Blood Eagle and the falcon sent by Fire Dance Fierce Battle classmates.
Of course, two Leader Charm Emperors Didi and Lili with the Reconnaissance Skill could be dispatched. However, as Da Fei’s initial grandmaster enlightenment test subjects, their skills are too varied to become great, and Da Fei never had the chance to train them nor could bear to brainwash them. Their current attributes hardly offer significant survival capability in the perilous underground world; they might be eliminated without making a splash. Da Fei decided not to send them.
As he sighed, Anlicia came over, enthusiastically saying, "Lord City Lord, I think the scene is still not big enough!"
Da Fei laughed, "Do you want to duplicate a phantom? Sure! Anyway, everyone is idle."
Anlicia laughed, "That’s a given, but it’s not enough. Since Lord City Lord is ready to lure the enemy out, why not light a huge bonfire where our vision is limited? It can eliminate some annoying poisonous moth disturbance, expand our vision, and let the enemy see more clearly."
Da Fei suddenly realized, "That’s true! The less we can light a fire underground, the more I should light one. Okay, Savara, take the Angel Army and transport a batch of wood to light a circle of bonfires around!"
"Yes, Lord!"
Anlicia smiled, "Also, just using Miss Elena’s Earthquake Skill is not enough. We should let Miss Selvia lead three hundred Militia Flower Demons to sing and perform!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "Great! Selvia, hurry!"
Selvia glared at Anlicia, "Captain, she is intentionally being idle! I’m very busy, I need to be ready to receive information from Deirdre!"
Anlicia sighed, "Who said I’m idle? Later, I’ll control two illusions to fly around and be quite busy!"
Selvia sneered, "You are clearly playing!"
Playing? She clearly saw the newly arrived Lamia being too capable and popular, so she’s taking the chance to consolidate her position while she’s away? Wahaha, elf beauties are indeed so subtle!
Da Fei proudly waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, alright, everyone hurry and be busy. We are to display our skills to the dark elves secretly observing us; show all kinds of high-tech to awe them, and then conquer them with gloriously victorious battles!"
"Understood!" "Received!"
With Selvia’s music starting, Anlicia’s two brightly lit flying battleship illusions also appeared, and Flying’s surroundings were illuminated by a circle of bonfires, making the scene bustling like a festival, even Da Fei himself felt a bit bewildered.
At this moment, Da Fei’s tactical thinking gradually formed. Indeed, before the inspiration for this serpent strategy flickered, Da Fei was actually quite confused about the specific implementation of siege warfare, so he could only blindly follow Lamia’s infiltration plan. Now that the tactical thinking has taken shape, Da Fei now has a complete set of skirmish and consumption plans ready to further support Lamia’s infiltration action. The crucial issue is, will the enemy come? If the enemy doesn’t come, and the dark elves don’t come, that would be a huge waste of efforts.
However, trust the NPC deputy officer. If the NPC says they might come, they probably will, the system never lets players feel bored without reason in certain aspects.
And the system indeed didn’t disappoint Da Fei; five minutes later, the first wave of fluttering visitors finally arrived, they were fist-sized poisonous moths, some circling around the bonfire at the periphery, most of them flew towards Flying, then started attacking the troops on the deck waiting for alert, the result was of course moths to flame.
Moths have come, could the monsters and large troops be far behind?
At this moment, Elena excitedly exclaimed, "Having moths indicates there must be substantial patches of robe mushrooms nearby; these are the main food source for Cave People slaves, and emergency food ingredients for dark elves in troubled times, indicating the environment nearby supports hiding and survival of remnant dark elves."
"Mushroom patches?" Da Fei suddenly recalled the scene of fighting against Sate, it seems those moths were similar to these moths?
Da Fei asked, "Do mushroom patches have Dark Natural Power?"
Elena laughed, "That’s a domain only someone like the Lord would sense, we elemental magicians can’t answer this question for the Lord."
Da Fei said, "Meaning, as long as we find mushroom patches, we might find dark elves’ bases?"
Elena smiled, "You could say so; even if they refuse to appear, we can still trace the source of moths to find mushroom patches. Actually, the environment around the underground river is generally moist, suitable for mushroom patches to grow. As long as we search along the river, we should have some findings. Even ogres could find them and defeat the Spider Queen, surely, we aren’t worse than ogres?"
So that’s how it is! Indeed, problem-solving methods in this game are not singular. Fine, even if capturing the city doesn’t yield much, this hidden fallen dark elf tribe must be brought under our command!
During Da Fei’s comedic banter, the radar on the edge of Da Fei’s area suddenly flashed red then turned black!
——System Prompt: One of your Stone-statue Ghost Sentinels has died!
Da Fei’s smile froze, "Dead? How did it die?!" My goodness! My Stone-statue Ghost actually died without seeing who the enemy was, not even a single red dot showed up on the radar? The main issue is, my Stone-statue Ghost was in petrified disguise, yet was easily taken out?
Elena somberly said, "Lord, prepare for battle!"
Not overthinking, Da Fei waved his hand, "Everyone on the ship into the cabin!" That’s right: Once in the cabin, I am secure within my fortress, and whether to fight or flee is entirely my call.
As Da Fei boarded the ship, red lights burst on the radar, a large area of swiftly approaching blurry red dots appeared, the voice of the three elders followed, "Warrior, it’s an army hidden in the Otherworld!"
Damn! Stealth flying army!?
At the same time, a blood mist appeared next to Da Fei, it was Lamia, she hurriedly said, "It’s the Hidden Bat Army of the Shadow Prince Hillsea; he’s very powerful, I suggest master to avoid!"
Da Fei was stunned, "Prince?"
Lamia sighed, "He was born from the Dark Elf Queen of Shadow City, who submitted to the Demon King for survival, the best half-blood dark elf hero, possessing both the cunning of dark elves and the cruelty of demons, his cruelty even makes demons shiver!"
Just then, Elena spoke up, "Seems similar to my brother Regla, Lord, I suggest to fight him first! If we can’t defeat him, there’s no way I could defeat my brother!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Alright, I want to see what he can do to my Flying!" (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com), vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
