Free Web NovelChapter 1492: Defense Border Part 7
"What do you mean by that the teleport platform is destroyed?" Kong Ming rushed toward Hazel and asked in a grave tone.
Xu Feng didn’t even get a chance to ask when Kong Ming was already agitated by the news. His concern was the well-being of the people in Bardmon City.
Thus, it was understandable why he would lose his composure under such an oppressive time.
Hazel’s face turned somewhat pale from the pressure emitted by Kong Ming. It was suffocating and made her almost unable to breathe properly.
"Kong Ming, calm down for a bit." Xu Feng suddenly placed an arm around his shoulder. "It’s times like these where we must stay composed and not lose our rationality."
With his words, Kong Ming finally regained some clarity.
"Apologies," he glanced at Hazel and apologized for his action. As a Tier 4, his pressure alone could indeed suffocate a Tier 2 to death in such close proximity.
"N-No worries..." Hazel naturally didn’t dare to take offense at a Tier 4 NPC. They were even more frightening than the bosses in the dungeons they often go to raid.
"Anyway, what do you mean by the Teleport Platform being destroyed?" Xu Feng asked.
The Teleport Platform could be said to be the most complex and defensive structure. Not just anyone could destroy it unless they knew about its complex defensive runes and formations, followed by enough power to even wreck them.
"Someone who had the Razor Nightmare guild emblem approached the Teleport Platform when we were evacuating everyone. Then all of a sudden, they rushed toward the mechanism and stabbed it with some item." Hazel relayed the event.
Shortly after the item stabbed itself in the mechanism, the whole device began to tremble violently.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the entire platform was disabled and crumbled into many pieces of debris.
"An item that could destroy a Teleport Platform in the snap of a finger?" Kong Ming’s face turned pale.
How could such an item exist? Nobody, and he meant nobody in the Divine World, would risk inventing such an item. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The Teleport Platform was like the bottom line for every town, city, kingdom, and empire.
To mess with them was no different than declaring war on everyone.
Everyone needed the Teleport Platform for fast and safe travel.
While they were utterly bewildered, Xu Feng’s back was soaked in sweat.
’A Hell Relic...’ He was more than familiar with an item that was indeed capable of destroying a Teleport Platform.
It was a hell relic left behind in the mass war that shaped the current Divine World.
What made it terrifying was that this hell relic could reproduce, meaning the item that was used to destroy the teleport platform was probably a one-and-done reproduction.
"Just what were the guards doing?" Kong Ming clicked his tongue and clenched his fist.
"That person was affiliated with Razor Nightmare, you say? So does that mean that the guild has turned traitor to humanity?" His eyes glinted in a cold light.
It was clear that Kong Ming had already sentenced Razor Nightmare to death.
Just earlier, this guild was heavily punished for tax evasion.
Yet not even a day had passed, and this guild had a traitor who brazenly destroyed the Teleport Platform meant for the survival of everyone.
Kong Ming didn’t even care whether the guild leader was innocent or not. It was their responsibility to keep their members in check, and clearly, they had failed that aspect as well.
"Hazel, tell everyone to evacuate through the city gate and continue on the wilderness path to the nearest city. I’ll have my members escort you as well." Xu Feng immediately instructed.
"Tell the people to disregard all baggage and other stuff. Food and water will be granted to them throughout the journey." He continued.
Unlike players who could carry a lot of things in their inventory, NPCs weren’t fortunate enough to have their own inventory.
Of course, there were still other items that could store things. But the majority wouldn’t have the money to afford such an item.
"Understood." Hazel nodded her head and began to excuse herself. She had wanted to send him a message, but the system message seemed to be blocked, forcing her to come all the way over here to inform him.
’Wait, if communication is cut off... how could the Vanguard Guild Leader inform the rest?’ Hazel once again realized there were more secrets to Xu Feng than she had anticipated.
Shortly after Hazel left, Xu Feng activated his Origin Power. With the Origin Power, he could temporarily suppress the Demon Lord’s silencing effect.
The reason why the system was blocked was due to the silencing effect that ensured players wouldn’t be able to communicate with others. It was almost identical to certain mechanisms in a dungeon that increased difficulty and forced players to plan in advance on what to do.
Once the silenced effect was lifted somewhat, Xu Feng hurriedly contacted Carmen.
Lin Feng: Carmen, quickly come to Bardmon City and assist the players and NPCs with the evacuation process through the wilderness. A traitor appeared from Razor Nightmare, who destroyed the Teleport Platform. The situation is dire!!!
He typed extremely fast because the silencing effect returned.
Even though the Origin Power could temporarily suppress it, the duration wasn’t long.
’Good thing I was a keyboard warrior before.’ He heaved a sigh of relief when the message was sent.
A few minutes later, the defense border was left with only Xu Feng and Kong Ming.
Oh, and there was also an ominous summoning circle in the field. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The mushy monsters had all been devoured, illuminating the circle brightly.
He opened his skill trees and began upgrading some of the skills that would do slightly decent to a Demon Lord.
This was why one should have been prepared and saved some skill slots.
Otherwise, who knows how screwed one might be when they don’t have the proper skills to battle a certain enemy?
"It’s coming..." Xu Feng smiled bitterly when a beacon of light rushed straight to the sky.
