Chapter 923 â Taking Action
âCommander, why do I get the feeling that those chosen ones you mentioned are all looking at Guild Leader Black Flame?â Drifting Bean asked in confusion.
Whether it was the Holy Raceâs Garuda or Demonâs Gateâs Elise, they were all existences that the Blood Wing adventurer team could not hope to get acquainted with. But now, Drifting Bean could clearly see that Garuda and Elise were scrutinizing s.h.i.+ Feng. Her gut instinct as a fifth-floor expert also told her that the two were eager to fight s.h.i.+ Feng.
Could he also be acquainted with these two people? Naturally, Endless Scars could also perceive the fighting spirit in Garuda and Elise as they looked at s.h.i.+ Feng. It was obvious they regarded s.h.i.+ Feng as an opponent. However, her common sense told her that this shouldnât be possible.
Garuda was a Half-step Mortal G.o.d, while Elise was strong enough to match Half-step Mortal G.o.ds. Despite having developed in the Greater G.o.dâs Domain for years, Endless Scars doubted her chances of victory in a fight against either of these individuals would exceed 50%. It hadnât even been a year since Xia Qingying brought s.h.i.+ Feng to the Greater World. No matter how quickly he improved, there was no way he could have caught up to Garuda and Elise already. After all, the two of them were backed by behemoths, while s.h.i.+ Feng was backed by a Guild he had established only months ago.
Besides Endless Scars, Lunar River, who had arrived with a 4,000-man legion a while ago, was also looking at s.h.i.+ Feng.
Is he still being stubborn? When Lunar River saw that Zero Wingâs team comprised only 600-plus players, she felt that s.h.i.+ Feng was here to mess around.
Just the pseudo-apex powers present already commanded a combined total of over 1.5 million fifth-floor experts. Even a legion of 3,000 fifth-floor experts would have difficulties surviving in the upcoming compet.i.tion, let alone a 600-man team. Kingâs Paradise was confident in securing four plots of land only because of its st.u.r.dy foundations. Otherwise, even if it partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion with 4,000 fifth-floor experts, it would still leave with nothing but casualties.
âVice Guild Leader, should we invite them to join us?â Shuoyun, a Level 235 Cleric in G.o.dâs Domain, asked quietly.
âItâs too soon for that,â Lunar River said after considering the matter. âWeâll invite them once they have trouble holding on.â
The rules of Everlasting Cityâs compet.i.tion made it different from the average war between powers. In addition to restricting player levels to Level 220, the compet.i.tion also had a 12-hour time limit. Only after the 12 hours were up would the occupants of each plot of land be decided.
As for how occupants were decided, it was simple. Once the compet.i.tion began, all players on Everlasting Cityâs island would be considered partic.i.p.ants and given an Everlasting City Token. The Token would drop on death, and whichever team held the most tokens on a particular plot of land at the end of the compet.i.tion would become its occupant. In other words, the various powersâ members had to move about hunting other players throughout the compet.i.tion. They couldnât simply hunker down at a particular location.
To make matters worse, the partic.i.p.ating apex and royal powers had already reserved a significant portion of Everlasting Cityâs 144 plots of land. This severely limited the s.p.a.ce the pseudo-apex powersâ 1.5 million fifth-floor experts could fight in, so the various pseudo-apex powers would likely be embroiled in chaotic battles as soon as the compet.i.tion began. In this situation, weaker powers with smaller forces would likely be the first to be eliminated.
On the other side of the islandâŠ
âToday is the best opportunity to learn about the trump cards of the three racesâ major powers, so keep your eyes open! Do not miss the performance of any expert on the battlefield! Pay extra attention to the various powersâ chosen ones! They might become our greatest enemies in the future!â
âMake sure to keep an eye on our Guildâs chosen ones! Once you see the top experts of other powers approaching them, notify them immediately! This is the best battlefield for them to hone themselves! We must not let them die at the hands of old monsters!â
âKeep an eye on experts with great potential! All these people are our future a.s.sa.s.sination targets!â
âMake sure to record every battle, especially the ones between the various powersâ top experts! This is one of the few battles where the three racesâ major powers will reveal their trump cards!
An arena for established experts!
A cradle for new-generation experts!
A treasure trove of information for the various powers!
At this moment, Everlasting City had become the center of the three races, and every partic.i.p.ating power was employing all available means to benefit from the cityâs compet.i.tion.
As a dull bell ring echoed from Everlasting City, the translucent barrier covering the city disappeared, while a new translucent barrier formed on the islandâs outermost layer. Immediately, the 1,000-plus pseudo-apex powers, 35 apex powers, and six royal powers on the island flew toward their chosen plots of land in a frenzy.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, which plots should we choose?â Kowloon Demon asked excitedly as he watched the members of the various powers take to the skies.
The forces of the various powers werenât evenly distributed across Everlasting Cityâs 144 plots of land. Some plots had more players, while some had fewer. Some had stronger players, while some had weaker players.
However, regardless of which land s.h.i.+ Feng chose, Zero Wingâs team would face at least 10,000 fifth-floor experts. Moreover, as these were all unknown experts, fighting them would be an absolute thrill.
âWe wonât go anywhere. Weâll just watch from here,â s.h.i.+ Feng said, observing the situation in the air. He wasnât in a hurry to join in on the action. âWe will strain our Stamina and Concentration if we join the chaos from the onset. We wonât get many city tokens, either, so we might as well take action after they are done killing each other.â
âGuild Leader, although your idea is sound, Iâm afraid some powers wonât let us just watch,â Hidden Soul said, looking at a 2,000-man legion heading straight for their team. The legion was led by Crocodile Fang, who had been driven out of Desolate Star City because of s.h.i.+ Feng.
Endless Scars, who had already occupied Plot 003 with the Eternal Chamber of Commerceâs forces, also noticed the movement of Angelâs Retributionâs forces and frowned at the sight.
âThat d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Rather than fight the aliens together, heâs targeting people on our side?! Is he not afraid the various powers will persecute him in the future?!â Drifting Bean gnashed her teeth as she glared at Crocodile Fang.
Originally, Drifting Bean thought the matter with Crocodile Fang was over after Freyâs intervention. She hadnât expected him to appear here. Moreover, he even chose to attack Zero Wing as soon as the compet.i.tion began.
In a clash between a legion of 2,000 players and a team of 600-plus players in an open s.p.a.ce, Zero Wingâs team was overwhelmingly disadvantaged.
âBlack Flame! You humiliated me in Desolate Star City! Now, itâs time for me to get some payback! Iâll show you that you are nothing without Frey!â
Crocodile Fang gnashed his teeth as he glared at s.h.i.+ Feng. Then, he commanded his forces to annihilate Zero Wingâs team.
