950 Solo Mission (2/2)
The entire elite force bowed down with respect and chanted, ”We wish you good luck!”
”Mhm.” Jiang Fei nodded and returned to the front lines with the same gate that had not been closed.
”You got them all?” Otis asked when Jiang Fei returned.
”Yeah. I have them all,” Jiang Fei replied whilst tapping the small pouch hanging behind his waist.
”To facilitate my infiltration, I hope that you could lead your army to the front and maintain the assault,” Jiang Fei asked.
”Relax. I will make sure that those reinforcements from the rear would be so occupied that they could never return to the rear!” said Otis, smirking proudly.
”Thanks,” said Jiang Fei before leaving him alone.
Jiang Fei made a public announcement to all players in Shadow Faction and tweaked the quest rewards and conditions a little.
The previous configuration would reward players with experience points even if they did not attack. Now, he had adjusted the reward of the quest. Players needed to do more than just dying now. To earn experience points, which Jiang Fei had purposely inflated by a notch, players would need to deal as much damage as possible. With this change, players would not be mad at the completion requirement but encouraged greatly to inflict more damage. They would fight harder, better, and stronger, which would put more pressure on the Light Faction.
After the quest conditions had changed, Jiang Fei could hear more battlecries such as ”follow me brothers!”, or ”let's earn more experience points!”. Jiang Fei literally did nothing but tweak a few settings to bolster the faction's morale.
Naturally, Jiang Fei had set the quest reward to be more rewarding for his guild members. After that, he ordered Seven Star Warrior and Billy Boy to work side by side in order to help Otis and his army to push forward. Once everything was in place, Jiang Fei left the front lines and entered the Demon Dragon Fortress quietly with Akatziris.
Jiang Fei was able to sneak out undetected because he had never once made his appearance in the battlefield. He was always behind, standing together with Otis, observing and waiting.
The first person Jiang Fei sought was Nina, the ex-Saint of the Light.
”Nina, have you completed the map that I have asked for?” Jiang Fei asked.
”Yes!” said Nina, handing over a piece of well-drawn paper.
”Sir, I have taken the liberty to mark down possible infantry barracks. You might want to take note of that,” said Hua Mulan at the side. She was once the Captain of the Saint Guards. Naturally, she would know about the military camps. Even though the defense position and encampments would had been changed after Nina was ”stolen” away, most of the changes were more of the front lines instead of the rear.
The main center of the military base did not change much as it was too big to do so. In fact, there was no need for the Light Faction to do any major changes since the center of the faction was safe and they had been situated there for countless years. Not only would it cost a lot, it would also cause unwanted complications. The only change that was made in the Light Faction was the border guards—the security at the borders were made stricter to prevent any attacks from the Shadow Faction.
”Good job!” Jiang Fei said, smiling as he gave her a light shoulder touch. The small paper was the key to allow Jiang Fei to infiltrate the Light Faction and to lead the elite demon army directly behind enemy lines.
”Verdure Glider… Promise me one thing… I only wish that you would show mercy. Please do no kill unless it's necessary!” said Nina, conflicted at what she was doing. Although she was no longer part of the faction, she still had the heart of a Saint. She knew what would happen if the map were to fall into the hands of the Shadow Faction.
