God-level Hero

Chapter 1305 - 1214

Da Fei arrived at the top floor of the Magic Tower where the City Guard General was located, and the general and his deputies immediately clapped their hands to welcome him. The NPC’s unusual behavior shocked the players from various countries who were there to hand off tasks. But seeing that it was Da Fei, everything seemed unsurprising.

General Yarid excitedly stepped forward and shook hands, "Warrior, not only did you make up for our mistake, but you also independently destroyed the enemy’s insect swarm base behind their lines without Kingdom’s support. Now the enemy army does not pose a threat to our city walls anymore! You are a worthy warrior, please accept the highest honor from our army!"

——System Prompt: Your special limited-time side quest ’Kill Demon Worm 3 Vanguard’ has been updated and completed. You receive reward experience +9 million, Alliance Reputation +100,000, ’Great Life Book’ +5, ’Skill Book’ +5, and you gain a recruitment quota for Alliance troops with a Command Value of 1000.

——System Prompt: You perfectly completed the campaign task ’Defeat the Enemy Army Besieging No.3 Wall’ and the decisive task ’Eliminate Insect Nest’ independently. You receive experience reward +10 million, Alliance Reputation +100,000, ’Skill Book’ +5, and a perfect reward: Divine Artifact "Ancient Tree Wall."

Ancient Tree Wall: Divine Artifact, shield, off-hand equipment position. Strategic Defense +50, restores troop life +1 per second, restores troop stamina +1 per second, and the wearer can absorb 10 points of long-range damage.

...

Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, rewarded with a Divine Artifact! It was worth the trip! But why a shield? He’s got the Flame Shield.

Da Fei examined the attributes of this shield that looked as ugly as a wooden door slab, with defense aligning the same as the Flame Shield and possessing his beloved life and stamina restore attributes. These at best reached an S-class level, which couldn’t challenge the Flame Shield’s -3 flame refraction status. The only reason for its artifact status was the terrifying 10-point personal long-range damage absorption.

With his defense, wearing this shield, he could stand alone in front of regular players’ archery sea and let them shoot happily, right? This shield is perfect for showing off! But having the Divine Skill to show off, does he still need this show-off shield? Besides, it’s foolish for a chief commander to end up silly, letting people shoot happily.

Decided, use it for Blood Eagle Xiaofei! Little Fei’s greatest threat comes from barrages from the ground; having this shield will drastically improve his survival chance on independent expeditions. So what does higher-level showing off mean? Giving Divine Artifact Equipment to vice heroes and pets is.

At this moment, after handing rewards, the general continued speaking excitedly, "Warrior, although I have secured a significant victory, the Magic Beetles are only cannon fodder of cannon fodder within the Hell Army, and their annihilation doesn’t entirely affect the battle’s trajectory. On the contrary, it might trigger the Demon Race’s furious retaliatory offensive, so the warrior must not be proud and complacent. Please continue to strike decisively against the Demon Army!"

Exactly! You know the situation well, let’s talk business.

Da Fei hastily said, "General, since our army can eliminate the opposite’s Magic Beetle troops through backline assassination, the Demon Race can also infiltrate our army’s stronghold to assassinate our key figures. According to the information obtained during my infiltration of the enemy, three Great Druids maintaining the wall’s barrier are precisely within the enemy’s assassination planning, we must be vigilant."

Indeed, since Da Fei accepted Deirdre’s assassination task, then according to Moon God Night’s storyline, "informing" would likely trigger the faction confrontation defense task.

Sure enough, the general’s expression shifted, "Recently, signs of food poisoning have indeed appeared among our wall’s garrison."

Da Fei was suddenly thrilled and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this is exactly a sign of enemy infiltration!"

The general solemnly said, "Your intelligence is very valuable; I will arrange heavy protection for the safety of the three Great Druids. Do you, warrior, also wish to join the operation in safeguarding the safety of the three Great Druids?"

——System Prompt: General Riyadh issued a battlefield task to you ’Guard the Safety of 3 City Guard Great Druids’, do you accept?

Oh my! It’s really triggered, Moon God Night is truly a master! However, I won’t foolishly accept. Now is truly the time to test my reputation and word authority with NPCs; make or break it! If it fails, I’ll let Moon God Night drop the airship from above to smash them.

Da Fei shook his head, "General, heavy protection specifically would instead show we are scared of the enemy army, which doesn’t align with the winning mood just after wiping out the enemy swarm. I have a plan; since the enemy army lost their siege cannon fodder Magic Beetle race, our reliance on the barrier isn’t so significant. We can completely remove the barrier, allowing the three hard-working Great Druids some vacation rest, also evading the Demon Race’s assassination, while tempting the Demon Race to foolishly move in to siege, enabling us to whittle down their forces, isn’t this a win-win-win situation?"

The general was startled, "Remove the barrier? Let the three Great Druids rest?"

Da Fei immediately added, "Maintaining the barrier requires lots of resources, right? This can save many resources."

The general’s face was somber, "The barrier doesn’t just defend against the swarm; once removed, the enemy could directly teleport troops inside the walls, do you know the consequences?"

The consequences, who cares, as long as Deirdre completes the task for rewards! Da Fei immediately said, "Of course, it’s a meat grinder! Teleporting troops into the city is better, it’s a trap to beat dogs! With trenches all over the outside, our army moves with difficulty, launching a siege is arduous; even obtaining a counter-attack advantage leaves counter-attacking as impossible. Similarly, while the barrier remains, the enemy lacks siege intent; we struggle to find the chance to inflict harm! Removing the barrier, devoid of the swarm’s rage, the enemy will have to launch a siege!"

All plans and reasons given, the rest depends on luck!

Da Fei intently observed the general’s reaction, the general too looked oddly somber at Da Fei. That gaze like observing a spy! Alright, Da Fei did take Deirdre’s task being indeed a spy; you saw correctly!

However, Da Fei isn’t just a mere spy; he’s a double agent! His goal is for both participating parties to get what they want and achieve a double win. Hope you don’t keep nervously staring at Da Fei; the more you stare at his... the more he feels...

Da Fei thus dryly coughed, "Please, believe in my judgement, General! I am a veteran cross-regional warrior, I am also a warrior deeply admired by Lord Silena and the Unicorn King, and I’ve independently completed the backline assassination task just now; if the general doesn’t believe me, whom else would he trust?" Come on, forcing Da Fei to bring out the big move!

Sure enough, the general’s expression trembled, then he gritted his teeth, "Very well! I will trust Lord Silena’s perception and also believe in your judgement, Warrior! But, Warrior, should something go wrong, your responsibility will be hard to shirk, you will receive immense reputation punishment, possibly becoming the Alliance’s criminal and being detained!"

Da Fei was shocked to his core! Really? There’s also joint liability for him?

The General turned and waved his hand, "Deputy Officer, transmit orders, have the three Great Druids withdraw from the barrier post, other deputies, lay city defenses on the city wall square, prepare for Demon Army’s siege!"

——System Prompt: General Riyadh terminated the battlefield task ’Guard the Safety of 3 City Guard Great Druids’, you receive a new battlefield task ’Lure Enemy Deeply’!

——Task Hint: You lead this task; if failed, you receive punishment proportional to the Alliance’s loss. Please respond with full force.

——System Prompt: Deirdre’s Hero Growth Task ’Extraordinary Path’s Side Task ’Assist in Killing 3 City Guard Great Druids on No.3 Wall Barrier’ has changed. You completed the variation task and gained Deirdre’s considerable trust and favor.

Oh my!

Da Fei was shocked as his heart raced wildly! It really worked, he truly managed to persuade the NPC General to reassign the Great Druid following his request using unrelenting persuasion! Not only that, Deirdre’s task also completed with the change! Double win, Da Fei truly achieved a double win!

At this moment, Da Fei couldn’t help but be fully impressed by Moon God Night, in deep admiration, due to one bit of guidance, enabling Da Fei a light and easy dual success; she deserves Da Fei gifting her a superb ship!
