Chapter 81: Chapter 78: The Plight of the Dragon Slayer Guild
“Audience friends, good morning! Hero News is with you again. Today, we have connected by phone with the highest level player from the Hell Race in the China Region, the professional Hell Race player from Dragon Slayer Guild, Lei Ren. Please, Mr. Lei Ren, share your thoughts on the upcoming National War between races.”
“Hehe, hello host, just call
Lei Ren, my friends. Hello everyone, I’m Lei Ren from Dragon Slayer Guild, my gaming ID is Lei Huolong, level 27. I’m very excited and thrilled to be here with all of you. Regarding the National War, I’ve received the sa information as other Hell players in different regions, which is to stand by.”
Host: “So, what does Lei think this is all about?”
Lei Ren laughed and said: “I’m really sorry, this situation happened so suddenly, I was still asleep when I found out about it. It seems like all the Demon Players around the world are stunned, including myself, and we can only wait for further prompts from the system.”
Host giggled: “Once the National War breaks out, what are the plans for Dragon Slayer Guild?”
Lei Ren chuckled: “Dragon Slayer Guild mainly focuses on developing the Undead Race, so there isn’t much part for the Hell Race in it. Hence, whether the National War happens or not, won’t cause much change to the Guild’s progress. However, as for myself, I will definitely fight for the glory of our country.”
Host laughed: “This morning, we received a video from players at Elorin Port in the Elf Kingdom. Player Da Fei’s ship disappeared after being teleported by a group of NPC Mages. Does this event have anything to do with the National War?”
Lei Ren forced a smile: “I have no idea, nothing about the National War has been mobilized by the Bright Alliance.”
Host chuckled dryly: “Thank you, Lei Ren, for cooperating with our interview. Lei Ren, we look forward to your outstanding performance during the National War.”
Lei Ren smiled: “I feel very sorry for not providing more information to the audience friends. I will do my best during the National War, goodbye everyone.”
Host: “Alright, now let’s turn our attention to the recent situation of the famous dostic studio, Bloodrose Studio. This is still about the incident that happened last night. Bloodrose Studio sent out two hundred players to attack a certain NPC distillery at Saint Paul Port, and it seems the cause of the event is still related to player Da Fei…”
…
Dragon Slayer Network Entertainnt Company.
Lei Ren reported to his boss, Ma Yinglong, with a sullen face: “Boss! I finally got on TV for a while, and yet I had to play the fool. Now the whole nation probably thinks I’m an idiot!”
Ma Yinglong said gravely: “Soone has to play the fool, and if you don’t do it, do you expect , the boss, to play that part? Now, focus on mobilizing general players and keep an eye on task developnts, report to
at all tis, and don’t take any action without permission!”
Lei Ren nodded: “Understood.”
Ma Yinglong’s eyebrows were tightly knitted as he fell into deep thought.
While all the Demon Players in the world were standing by in confusion, Lei Ren, as the top Demon Player in the China Region, not only received special information but also received the Epic Quest “Attack the Pool of Radiance!”
“We have received uncertain intelligence that the Elf Kingdom has dispatched a Super Hero to purify the corruption of the World Tree, and they have even discovered our Abyss Blood Pool. Their Super Hero is even attempting to attack the Abyss Blood Pool. If their so-called Super Hero really has the ability to purify the Pool of Radiance, this will be an extrely unfavorable battle for us. We cannot provide strong support to the Abyss Blood Pool that is protected by the barrier, we must summon more reinforcents from different Planes. Defensive warfare is never the style of us Demons; our doctrine is to attack! Attack is the best defense! Our battlefield is the Pool of Radiance. We must not only stop the so-called Super Hero’s attack but also take the opportunity to eradicate the roots of the World Tree! Teach those arrogant and foolish Elves the consequences of opposing us Demons! You, as the most outstanding and powerful hero of Shergo, must take on the responsibility of leading the joint army, or we will choose a new hero to replace you! The Space Gate is about to open, get ready! The Demon God grants you power!”
The battlefield for the National War is in the China Region! The ti and location of the National War are only known by Lei Ren and a few senior mbers of Dragon Slayer Guild.
This is quite a troubleso issue!
A National War happening anywhere wouldn’t be a big deal; everyone could join the excitent or fight valiantly. But, happening exclusively in the China Region, that’s a significant issue. It would give Chinese players the feeling of a Multi-National Joint Army attacking China, which is emotionally unacceptable, not to ntion the involvent of the extrely sensitive Japan, the nature of this National War is absolutely going to turn sour! Whether in sports or competition, it often extends the reality situation, often being interpreted by citizens and the dia in various ways.
So, where should the Demon Race players from the China Region go? What should Dragon Slayer Guild, who received the Epic Quest, do? Follow the ga rules and join foreign players to attack their own country’s Pool of Radiance? That’s utterly suicidal! That’s being a traitor, a lackey, which ans Dragon Slayer Guild will lose all its popularity and collapse imdiately.
So should the Dragon Slayer Guild just give up the epic quest for the so-called “nationalistic duty” and lead all the Demon Race players nationwide in a united resistance?
That’s nonsense! It’s just a ga, what nationalistic duty! What does an epic quest entail? Successful completion often rewards attribute points, skill points, special abilities, bases for special soldiers, and even directly rewarding a territory is quite normal! Once completed it signifies the birth of a Super Hero! That way, the Dragon Slayer Guild, which mainly attacks the Undead Race, will see their weak spot, the Hell Race, rise to power, and the Guild’s developnt can advance on both fronts, the long-term benefits are imasurable. How could they abandon their martial prowess for the nonsensical “nationalistic duty” in a ga?
So, a compromise would be for the Dragon Slayer Guild to first devote all efforts to resisting the “foreign invaders,” win the applause of players nationwide to gain popularity, and sohow drive the Multi-nation Joint Army out of the China Region, then they could declare victory! By then, they can play the ga quietly, take down the Pool of Radiance, and complete the epic quest. The Pool of Radiance in China Region can only be destroyed by Demon Players from the China Region, which players should not object to.
But, after all, it’s just a plan, and the formidable Japan is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed no matter what. The task hints, “If you cannot bear the responsibility of leading the joint army, a new hero will replace you,” aning that if Japan takes control of the battlefield, Lei Ren’s epic quest will be taken away!
At that ti, it would be a huge loss, not only losing the epic quest but also carrying the sha of being unable to resist the invaders, which would also decrease the Guild’s popularity.
What to do? Negotiate with them? After all, the Dragon Slayer Guild has already established a cooperative relationship with the Mitsubishi Team, so negotiation is possible, right?
That won’t work either. Ti changes, and the weak ultimately have no bargaining power. From Ma Yinglong’s experience dealing with the Japanese, they are ruthless and would rather choose a new partner in China than agree to the requests of the Dragon Slayer Guild. Considering the natural alliance between Japan and the United States in reality, the Arican Zone would definitely support Japan with all their might. Once Japan knows where the battlefield is, definitely Japan will imdiately pull in the United States and India for a joint effort, and there would be no place for others to have a say.
So, this secret can only be kept for surprise attacks, as only then there might be a glimr of hope.
Where lies the opportunity? Aren’t we missing a key figure? Who is the so-called Super Hero leading the Elf quest? NPC or player?
If it’s a player, then who could it be? In an instant, Ma Yinglong recalled the teleportation incident in Elorin that morning. Looking at the entire China Region, the only one who could pull off such a stunt was him. Could it be him?
For a mont, Ma Yinglong felt a wave of frustration. Dealing with a swindler, and particularly one whose na he despised, was never pleasant. The phrase “better to give to an ally than to your own household servant” ca to mind, and Ma Yinglong would rather deal with the Japanese than with a lying nobody. Of course, that was contingent on confirming that he was indeed the so-called Super Hero.
…
Pool of Radiance.
At this mont, Super Hero Da Fei, while in pain, had to use the Magic Energy Wind Sail, and once he discovered the flesh tumor, he imdiately lowered the sail to conserve energy. It wasn’t until he got close that Da Fei realized the flesh tumor was far beyond his imagination, wrapping around the thick roots of the World Tree, an absolute mountain of flesh! It was at least ten tis larger than the Flying!
Did this flesh mountain have any defensive trump cards?
Anyway, since we’re here, we have to fight. The Flying positioned itself sideways, opening all sixteen doors of its Crossbow Cannons.
Just thinking of the splendor of sixteen Crossbow Cannons firing at the sa ti got Da Fei so excited he couldn’t contain himself!
—”Fire!”
—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Crossbow Cannons roared in unison, the ship trembled violently, rows of Crossbow Arrows whistled through the air like Rocket Launchers, and with a series of splats, a bloodbath ensued!
Da Fei excitedly shouted: “Aweso!”
The flesh mountain issued a piercing scream that echoed through the Underground Space. In that mont, the beetles on the surrounding roots moved! The red clouds on the mini-map erupted with deafening roars, coming at the Flying from all directions!
Da Fei’s eyes widened in shock. Stirred up a hornet’s nest! Without a second thought, he shouted, “Run! Everyone hide in the cabin!”
