Free Web NovelChapter 1422: Chapter 1321: Mitsubishi Team’s New Discovery
As Da Fei waited anxiously, the members of the Mitsubishi Team were also waiting anxiously.
After Da Fei completed the battle of the Pool of Radiance, players from the Bright Alliance in the Japan Region were finally able to land on the lake shore of the Pool of Radiance. These players combined the maps from both their side and Hell’s Side, quickly heading upstream to more than a dozen underground rivers around the lake, throwing in large quantities of marked wooden blocks. If any of these blocks drift downstream to the Banshee Territory, then the road for the Bright Alliance to reach the Banshee Territory would be officially surveyed and opened!
The drift of the wooden blocks was bound to be a long and nerve-wracking wait. More anxiety-inducing was that the members from Hell’s Side who had set out earlier from Sindaga City to scout the construction site discovered traces of a large Hell Army march.
"Just passed through, it’s the Hellhound Raiding Battalion! Extremely powerful tracking ability!"
The members of the Mitsubishi Command Center felt a chill; as professional players of the Hell Race, they knew what this special Super Hellhound meant—only major powers at the City Lord level could own them! And the thought of what Princess Lamia said, "passing through and annihilating," made the Sly God, who was accompanying them in observing market trends at the city trading post, unable to remain calm.
The Sly God immediately instructed: "Leave three members to continue to the construction site, the other dozen members to fully track the Hell Army’s movements."
"Hiya!"
At this moment, Tsukamoto let out a long sigh: "Senior, it seems that building a city is far from being as easy as we imagined. Other city lords might not even give us the chance to gain a foothold."
The Sly God gritted his teeth: "Precisely because the difficulty is greater, the rewards will be greater. We will not give up."
Tsukamoto said solemnly: "Senior, you make a lot of sense!"
At that moment, the system prompt sounded simultaneously for all team members:
——System Prompt: The Shadow City fortress has opened teleportation array access to the warriors of the Hell Race; warriors can use the teleportation array to go to the city and accept merit tasks.
The Mitsubishi Command Center was in an uproar: "Another hidden city has been opened?"
Tsukamoto frowned: "Da Fei must have triggered the progression by attacking the city. Group 1, head over to check immediately!"
"Hiya!"
With a flash of white light from the teleportation array, the first batch of members reached the teleportation square of the new city. At first glance, they saw the thick black smoke enveloping the city and the Demon Dragon Cavalry patrolling above the smoke. Then, there were four gigantic fortress-like machines lined around the square, along with a large number of giant Demon Dragon Man Warriors guarding the machines!
"Four-linked Hellfire!!!"
Staring at the four Super Crossbow Cannons displayed on the wall’s large screen, the entire Mitsubishi Command Center was in an uproar! As the name implies, this advanced crossbow cannon had four firing chambers, each stocked with dozens of explosive crossbow arrows. Once fully fired, this machine could instantly turn a large area into a sea of fire, much like a rocket launcher!
This was the ultimate machine set by the game designers from the beginning, marking the transition of this fantasy game into a sci-fi style!
Tsukamoto finally came to his senses: "Da Fei indeed attacked here! And the damage caused was significant."
Sessho Kanpaku sneered: "But he has finally forced the NPCs to bring out the ultimate weapon. If he dares to come again, he’ll meet a grim end, as he won’t have such good luck in killing a Demon God every time!"
Tsukamoto nodded: "Indeed, no matter how strong a player is, they can’t be stronger than NPCs. When Da Fei thought his advanced Flying Battleship could make him invincible, his doomsday had already arrived! —Group 1, gather tasks city-wide, hit the taverns to gather information!"
"Hiya!"
But there’s no need for the members to take action, as a patrol led by a group of heroes came right up to each member: "Welcome, warriors, to Shadow City! You may have never heard of this city, but that doesn’t matter now. What matters is you can receive unique rewards in this city that cannot be found in other cities. Currently, our city is under threat from the warriors of the Bright Alliance, and the destruction is considerable. Our resource warehouse has been looted, and our stocked food has been completely burned. We urgently need a large amount of food to sustain the city’s troops and slaves. Your first task is to gather 30,000 units of food within 7 days..."
——System Prompt: You have received the merit task "Emergency Preparation of 30,000 Units of Food" issued by the garrison officer of Shadow City.
——Task Hint: There is no single way to obtain the food. As demons, you know what to do.
Tsukamoto’s brow furrowed: "They’ve issued a collection task! I didn’t expect Da Fei’s damage to be this severe!"
Sessho Kanpaku frowned: "30,000 units of food, that amount is terrifying!"
The Sly God frowned: "Building Lamia requires a lot of supplies; we can’t afford to help them get 30,000 units of food. Even the transportation capacity is too much for us, not to mention the monsters lurking underground waiting to raid convoys."
Tsukamoto frowned: "Indeed, we have only one focus, and we can’t take on every task we come across. This task is destined to be abandoned. However, we still need to gather the information thoroughly."
Gunno Yosai laughed: "However, from the information about the resource warehouse being robbed, we can deduce that Da Fei’s doomsday has already arrived! His fuel might not last much longer, and that’s why he is launching such frenzied attacks on the city."
Everyone deeply agreed: "That’s right, judging from the development of airships in various countries, the fuel resource consumption of airships is extremely astonishing, not to mention Da Fei’s giant airship. The capacity of an airship’s fuel transport hold will never last long. Da Fei is actually waging war through war right now. Before long, he will definitely continue to go out and seize cities and fuel, and his fate at that time can be imagined."
"Exactly, he can’t even take down an Ogre Tribe, let alone seize a city. This time during the city raid, he must have paid a heavy price."
Gunno Yosai laughed: "Actually, we might as well make an assumption that Da Fei accepting this battlefield task itself was an irreparable mistake because, after continuously killing Demon Gods, he became overconfident and accepted the siege task issued by the God-level NPC Silena. In some respects, Da Fei’s God-level battle achievements misled Silena, which is akin to how we in the European Union Zone and China Region mislead NPCs of the Divine Punishment City into issuing ultra-hard tasks. Thus, Silena issued such a super task that pushed him into a pit of fire!"
Everyone laughed: "Mr. Gao Chang makes sense! Therefore, when Da Fei realized that the difficulty of attacking Fire Cave City surpassed his abilities, he decisively fled. Now, Da Fei is actually frantically escaping in the Underworld, searching for a way out like a stray dog! When he runs out of fuel, his flying giant battleship will crash down and become a pile of wreckage!"
Sly God frowned: "Wait! We are also searching for a route from the Bright Alliance to this place. What if we find it and Da Fei steals our achievements?"
Everyone said solemnly: "That’s a problem indeed..."
The entire command center was plunged into deep thought for a moment.
Meanwhile, in the high-end trading post of Sindaga City where Sly God was located, Princess Lamia was focused on monitoring the price fluctuations on the magic crystal panel, while the unwilling Farina, who tagged along, was drinking the free Blood Wine provided by the attendant and occasionally covering her mouth as she yawned constantly.
It turns out even when yawning, Farina was so beautiful that Sly God couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.
Just then, Farina impatiently said with an empty cup: "Have you finished watching? Anyway, you don’t have much money!"
Princess Lamia angrily retorted: "I have more money than you can imagine!"
Farina snorted: "Then show it?"
Princess Lamia sneered: "Do you know the wood market price in the Hell market? Even if I told you, a low-level female demon like you wouldn’t understand."
Farina disdainfully replied: "Wait until you have a way to transport a large batch of wood and then tell me."
Sly God urgently interjected: "Ladies, please don’t quarrel; when it comes to money, leave it to us." At that point, Sly God tried to change the subject: "By the way, I’ve received the latest news; Shadow City has a deficit of 30,000 units of food. Isn’t this a business opportunity?"
Princess Lamia frowned: "30,000 units? Why don’t they go raid for it? It has nothing to do with us, don’t bother!"
Farina clapped her hands and laughed: "Let them raid it indeed, better yet, let them raid all the surrounding cities!"
"Raid everywhere!?" A flash of inspiration struck Sly God, realizing that if it’s a raid on Fire Cave City, isn’t it an opportunity to create chaos in Fire Cave City?
While Sly God was concentrating entirely on analyzing new ideas, dozens of exploration team members in the command center exclaimed in surprise: "We’ve made a new discovery, dozens of abandoned trailers!"
——System Prompt: You have discovered 56 heavy trailers! Your current Master-level Logistics Skill can only acquire 10 heavy trailers.
——System Prompt: You have discovered 46 heavy trailers! Your current Master-level Logistics Skill...
Amid the series of dings and chimes on the wall-mounted large screen, these trailers were instantly divided up cleanly by 6 team members!
The command center was in amazement: "What’s going on?"
Then immediately a team member exclaimed with joy: "Wow, it’s a heavy trailer with a capacity of 150 units! This is something that players can never acquire!"
At that moment, the entire Mitsubishi Command Center team enthusiastically stood up and shouted: "It must have been dropped by a City Lord’s transportation team!"
"That’s right, the chaotic footprints on the scene clearly indicate a post-battle battlefield! And the scale of the battle is quite large!"
"But where are the bodies? In such a large battlefield, it’s impossible not to have any bodies, right? If the bodies have been removed by the system, these vehicles should have been removed too!"
"Which party ambushed this convoy? Was it Da Fei again? Were all the goods on the vehicle stolen by Da Fei?"
"How could that be? Even if these convoys were fully loaded, Da Fei’s battleship wouldn’t have been able to hold all the goods, let alone it being a flying airship with significantly limited capacity!"
Tsukamoto excitedly instructed: "Let’s not care about too many details; as long as we have these heavy trailers, our transport problem is completely solved. The 6 team members who acquired trailers immediately bring the trailers back to Sindaga City, while the entire Fire Cave City team comes outside Sindaga City to respond. If these 6 team members are ambushed, you are to immediately seize the vehicles! Meanwhile, the remaining dozen team members continue to track forward!"
