Chapter 951 - Wanted Man (2/2)

”Akatziris, please help me be on the lookout for any Overlord tier boss,” said Jiang Fei to Akatziris as he entered the Light Faction territory.

While that was happening, players in the Light Faction were rattled.

”Verdure Glider is in here?”

”Should we chase after him?” said one of the guild members to their leader. Concurrently, many of them were engaged in battle in the front line of the war. However, the reward prepared by the Divine Light God that was waiting for him, was tempting!

”Chase after him? Be my guest. He could fly, can you fly?” the guild master retorted. He knew better since chasing after Verdure Glider would literally be a suicide mission. He would rather continue farming experience points via quests in the front lines than wasting his time chasing after a god-like player.

”Heh, you speak as if the only thing that is stopping you now is having a flying mount. Do you really think you could fight him even if he was right next to you?” said another guild master who overheard the conversation. Verdure Glider might not be a player of the Light Faction but his name was prominent enough that every player in the game knew about it. His strength was on a whole other level. Back when Tu Tu was engaged in a war with him, he managed to trap Jiang Fei but he still failed to kill him. Even if the entire Light Faction were mobilized to hunt him down, killing Jiang Fei would still be a pipe dream.

Right now, players were more focused on defending the fortress instead of leaving. However, just as they thought the NPCs would do the same, the higher ranking Knights left abruptly, leaving players to fend for themselves.

”What the hell? Why are they running away when we at in the middle of defending the fortress?!”

Players were stumped. They were already being overwhelmed by the sheer number of players attacking from the Shadow Faction. Having the NPCs on their side could still balance the table. Now that the NPCs themselves were leaving, the table had turned against them. Even the strongest NPCs had left the front lines.

”Should we just abandon this fortress?”

The thought of just giving up started to make sense. However, one thing that the players of the Light Faction were wrong about was the NPCs were not running away. They were merely leaving their post to hunt for Jiang Fei!

These Church Knights were sent to the front lines to help the guards to defend the fortress. However, they were men of Church before they were soldiers for war. Their duty lies with the Church. Right now, the Church demanded Jiang Fei's head! Hence, even though they were right in the middle of a defensive war, the NPCs left their post immediately when Jiang Fei made his appearance.

The crime that Jiang Fei committed, kidnapping the Saint of the Light, was an offense so grave that the Divine Light God himself had descended into the human realm to deliver his judgment. The Knights of the Church had deemed Jiang Fei's life as more important than defending the fortress. There were many Light Faction fortresses but there was only one Jiang Fei. Furthermore, the Divine Light God himself had placed a bounty of Jiang Fei's head!

Once the strongest NPCs left, the players started to feel overwhelmed. Billy Boy and Seven Star Warrior immediately took the chance and charged into the gates while their enemies' morale was dropping, and started to attack with the intention of taking down the fortress.

The Knights rushed over to the coordinates provided by the system but they were all grounded and could not chase after Jiang Fei who was in the air. However, the problem was not over as there were still many others who wanted Jiang Fei's head.
