Chapter 717: 717
“I’ll take your word for it,” said Happy Drunk .
“Of course, since when did I ever break a promise,” said Jiang Fei .
“I will get my men with you in thirty minutes . Send me your coordinates!” said Happy Drunk . Although he was not showing it, he was beyond happy . A fortress was not something that one could easily get .
Not everyone could get their hands on a fortress . Jiang Fei was a special case since he had a huge head start . Others would find it hard . For example, if Happy Drunk were to suddenly get himself an empty fortress and claim it, other guilds would fight him for it . Before Happy Drunk could even set up the fortress defense, other guilds would have already decimated his fortress . Before he could even defend against the Light Faction, players from the Shadow Faction would have destroyed it .
Every player then was from major cities . Who did not have enemies? It was a zero-sum game . If I don’t get one, you don’t get one either .
In the end, the total fortresses that were built in both the Light and Shadow Factions were no more than ten . One of them was Jiang Fei’s own Demon Dragon Fortress, the strongest fortress that was built on the Faction Map . Compared to Jiang Fei’s, other fortresses were nothing but fragile lego contraption that could fall at anytime! Many of them had not even finished their core buildings .
Demon Dragon Fortress was able to be so strong because of Jiang Fei’s early head start . By the time players were able to enter the Faction Map, Jiang Fei had basically finished building the defensive walls . Not forgetting the Hidden Class—Constructor, Beansprout .
With the ever-efficient manager, Miss Rosetta Rose helping Beansprout by providing as many materials he needed, the fortress was built to stand against siege attacks . The towers that were built by Beansprout had powerful offensive attacks that would make anyone who dared to come close run back to their mama . The fortress was just like a stationary dragon . Leave it alone and it grows . However, if you dared disturb it, expect nothing but utter destruction!
Jiang Fei had even installed two Altars inside the fortress that would provide a powerful boon to all allies .
The Demon Dragon Fortress’s position and its prowess made it hard for any Light Faction enemies to even try to invade the Shadow Faction . If they wanted to get close to the Demon Flame Fortress, they would have to get through the Demon Dragon Fortress first .
The Aristocrats were doing very well for the past few months . Although they had made good expansion, they were still not able to claim any fortress on the Faction map for themselves . One thing that Jiang Fei had always forgotten was that Han Tianyu had not logged into the game for many, many months .
Due to several issues in the real world, Han Tianyu had thoroughly forgotten about the game . To begin with, the reason he had played the game was to get closer to Jiang Fei . Now that his relationship with Jiang Fei was stronger than ever, there was no need for him to bother Jiang Fei in the game .
Jiang Fei had never bothered to inform Han Tianyu the importance of the game . Hence, from Han Tianyu’s point of view, Jiang Fei playing the game was just a means of relaxation . There was no need for him to join Jiang Fei anymore .
Hence, while Happy Drunk was on cloud nine, Han Tianyu’s mind was lost in the clouds . Because of his prolonged absence from the game, the burden of leadership of the guild had fallen onto Happy Drunk . Without the support of the rich folk, The Aristocrats had not been at its top form for many months now . Back then, whenever a problem came up, Han Tianyu would use his money to solve it . If there was something he did not like, he would use his money to go around it . If anyone dared to oppose his guild, he would load his diamond cannon with his cash as ammunition to blast them away .
When Han Tianyu was still leading the guild, no one dared to oppose him . However, now that Han Tianyu’s presence in the game was gone, the guild was forced to do things the normal way .
No one could forget that The Aristocrats was an ally of the Empyreal Dragon . Back then, when Empyreal Dragon was still a growing little bird, the Aristocrats was there to help them, to nurture them to become the Phoenix they were today . Sadly, other pug players did not care about that . All they wanted was to join the strongest guild . The best would only join the best . Hence, other noob players tend to flock to the lousier guild, the Aristocrats .
While Empyreal Dragon was over 80,000 members strong, the Aristocrats had only over 55,000 members . If there was a guild leaderboard in the Shadow Faction, the Aristocrats would be in the top 20 list, while Empyreal Dragon would always be at the top .
Jiang Fei asked the Aristocrats for help because Happy Drunk and Jiang Fei were close . At a certain point, one could say that Jiang Fei had faith in Happy Drunk .
This escort mission was too important for anyone to be slacking . Once the mission failed, everyone who had participated in this mission would lose three levels . Jiang Fei did not dare to ask other guilds for help, especially since they might bear a grudge toward them and could purposely sabotage the mission to see them fail and lose their hard-earned experience .
When he was done with Happy Drunk, Jiang Fei continued to roam in the sky, keeping an eye on anyone or anything that came close to the convoy . On the ground, Billy Boy had strategically assigned many members to guard each side of the convoy . Billy Boy took the lead while Seven Star Warrior was guarding the rear . The entire convoy was moving extremely slowly . Even though Jiang Fei had called two guilds for help, having to instantly mobilize tens of thousands of players was not something that could be done in a jiffy .
Still unbeknownst to Jiang Fei, players of the Light Faction had gathered and had already started to hunt for the convoy . The reinforcements from the Shadow Faction were still gathering .
Half an hour later, Jiang Fei, who was flying in the sky had finally noticed something .
A white pillar of light that was as wide as the Empire State Building flashed somewhere far away . After the white pillar of light dissipated, an army of 40,000 soldiers emerged .
“Stop the convoy! Enemies incoming!” cried Jiang Fei from the top of his lungs .
“Stop the wagons!” cried Seven Star Warriors and Billy Boy at the same time . The entire group of 50,000 players of Empyreal Dragon started to fan out and form a circular defensive formation .
Jiang Fei flew in closer to examine his enemies and found that they were NPC soldiers, not players . It seemed that they had just encountered the first wave of enemies .
“I’ll try my best to hold them back . Little Rain, standby and get ready to cast your Forbidden Spell!” said Jiang Fei before speeding off into the clouds .
Billy Boy acknowledged Jiang Fei’s order and immediately got into action .
“Boys! It’s time to protect the fireworks! Little Rain, do your thing! Tanks, square formation around the fireworks!” cried Billy Boy .
Almost immediately, eight tank class player emerged from the group and formed a 3×3 formation with Little Rain at the center .
As the 40,000 NPC soldiers got closer and closer, Jiang Fei landed his dragon somewhere close to them and immediately dismissed it . He pulled up his bow and started to attack . Like a machine gun, Jiang Fei’s insane attack speed had sent many arrows out into the sky in a few seconds . Like a shower of arrows, each of Jiang Fei arrows had enough attack power to kill one soldier each .
The problem was with the number of enemies . Even though Jiang Fei’s killing speed was insanely fast, Jiang Fei was only able to kill eight soldiers per second . It would take him quite some time to clean out 40,000 soldiers!
Even though he was able to kill less than 500 soldiers in a minute, it would take him more than one hour to kill all 40,000 enemies .
At this point, Jiang Fei summoned the Skygliding Dragon again to help him block a few enemies from advancing . Coupled with the fallen bodies, the army’s movement speed was slightly slowed down .
Five minutes into the battle, Jiang Fei was only able to kill over 2,500 soldiers . Although the numbers were insane, it was only a tiny chisel to the entire army’s prowess in numbers .
“Big boss! Time to get away!” cried Little Rain as he warned Jiang Fei of his incoming Forbidden Spell .
Apocalyptic Scorch!
A small fireball was released from Little Rain’s magic staff toward the center of the army . The fireball then made it into the ground where it exploded with a bang . Flame came out spewing from beneath the earth, destroying the NPC soldiers .
As Little Rain leveled up, he continued to farm more equipment that could boost his Forbidden Spell . One of the stronger equipment he had was the ring that Jiang Fei had given to him, the Ring of Decimation . Together with other equipment that he had farmed on his own, he had managed to increase his Forbidden Spell’s damage output, casting range, and Area of Effect range . Compared to when he had first used the spell, Little Rain’s current Apocalyptic Scorch was at least five to six times more potent!
