Chapter 942 - Critical Moment (1/2)
Even though Jiang Fei had steeled his decision to buy the Agility Cauldron, Jiang Fei did not go out of his way to get it done. He had another important matter that needed his attention.
”Verdure Glider, are you ready? If so, shall we make a move?” asked Otis.
The Nephilim King had promised that they would attack the Light Faction in three days. As promised, the man in charge of leading the attack, Otis, had made his appearance to announce the attack, three days later!
Jiang Fei's task was to gather as many players as he could to join Otis in the war. He also needed to find an opportunity to sneak into the Light Faction's territory to set up the teleportation circle.
Setting up the teleportation circle was not a matter of urgency as attacking the Light Faction with the Elder Prince. He would need to help Otis to push the frontlines and force the enemy to focus their defenses there. Whilst being distracted, Jiang Fei would then sneak in from the back and use that chance to place the teleportation circle.
”I'm ready when you are!” said Jiang Fei. Players did not need time to prepare for battle, unlike NPC soldiers that did what a real-life soldier do—random checks, equipment checks, and other miscellaneous stuff. Players did not need that since their equipment were always sharp. At most, they could visit the weapon's store to do a quick durability fix in just one second.
”Alright then, I will lead the army to the frontlines. I shall see you then,” said Otis, disappearing with a flash.
”Finally!” Jiang Fei grunted, clenching his fist together. It had been a while since the build up started—almost two months! Within that time, any conflicts were just minor fights and battles instead of an all-out attack. Ivan was in charge of disturbing the enemy by constantly sending in small platoons into the Light Faction.
Today was the day when even Ivan was called back to the Shadow Faction. Today was the day when the entire Shadow Faction was gathered for a large-scale war. No more minor disturbances, it was time to deliver the wrath of the Shadows!
”Heya! Calling all officers of ranks higher than squad leaders to gather at the guild hall!”
Jiang Fei made a quick announcement in the guild channel which made an uproar. In no time at all, all the important players were gathered in the guild hall where Jiang Fei was ready to deliver his speech.
”So… I'm sure everyone has heard the rumor,” said Jiang Fei.
”Rumors? It's more like an announcement nowadays! The Shadow Faction is making their move to the frontline! Is the decisive war starting?” Billy Boy asked.
”Correct! The war is starting real soon!”
”Well then, what do we need to do?” Seven Star Warrior asked for a strategy.
”This might sound weird but… I need everyone to take off your main equipment and store it in your personal off-character storage. Claim the free equipment from the NPCs and follow the NPC army from the back. All you have to do is to keep on charging. There's no need to be afraid of dying. I will issue quests for the lot of you! Have no fear! I will not ask you to do something that would not bring you benefit. Trust me! Let's show the players of the Light Faction just how united we are!” Jiang Fei explained and ended his speech with a blaring roar.
Jiang Fei's goal was simple and straightforward. He wanted to let the Light Faction to know that the Shadow Faction have no fear. He wanted to pressure them. When the frontlines were going to fall, the Light Faction would then have to focus all their forces into defending the front. Only then, would Jiang Fei have the chance to sneak in from behind and execute his plan.
”I don't think we have enough people…” Lady Casanova made a remark. Even though they had over 550,000 players in their guild, it was only a small pond when compared to the sea of NPC soldiers.
