Chapter 1484 - 1382: Test Voyage to Demon Flame City
At 1:30 PM, after finishing lunch, Da Fei logged back online.
At this moment, Tamilia once again brought good news: "Lord City Lord, the brewery is completed, and Miss Hilda suggests that some dancers from the tavern can take on this role."
Da Fei laughed, "Great! The wine made by beauties is always tastier. They can practice their skills this way."
Tamilia continued, "According to your instructions, I purchased 2000 units of grain from the dock’s trading post. The cargo hold is now full, and everything is ready. Shall we set out on the expedition, Lord City Lord?"
So, in just a morning and noon, the Wine Pool consumed 2000 units of Blood Wine? Very well. But in the end, a mere 10,000 unit cargo hold is far from enough. The Holy Vine still needs to keep fighting and growing through devouring!
Da Fei couldn’t wait and waved his hand, "Let’s go!"
As the Sky Ship soared and passed over the city, players from various countries on the ground erupted in cheers. At that moment, Da Fei’s friend notification sounded; this time, it was actually Sly God.
Sly God: "Mr. Da Fei, have you completed repairs and are ready to set off?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but frown! The fact that those in the Japan region were the first to detect his departure meant they had been monitoring him for a long time. So, the ones most interested in him were his enemies? This left Da Fei with an uneasy feeling, like a weasel celebrating a chicken’s New Year. It’s essential to be vigilant against others, especially so-called partners who could betray you at any moment. Would he honestly tell them?
Da Fei chuckled and said, "Not at all; I just finished some minor repairs and am taking a test voyage. Nothing that quick. Do you have a target in mind?"
Sly God laughed: "I see! Currently, we have backup plans for Demon Flame City, Sindaga City, and Fire Cave City. But Sindaga City, the city of slaves, remains our primary focus. If Mr. Da Fei isn’t in a hurry, we can further refine our preparations, as the more thorough we are, the greater the chances of success."
Da Fei couldn’t help but commend, "As expected of a world-class professional team, you come up with plans so quickly. Great! I’ll reach out to you as soon as my test voyage is complete."
"Yoshi! Take your time, Mr. Da Fei."
As they spoke, the Sky Ship arrived at the World Tree Square in the capital. Then, under the guidance of the NPC officer below the square, the Sky Ship hovered right above the teleportation array. At this moment, the entire area around the square was teeming with players from the Japan Light Alliance.
This left Da Fei even more displeased! Showing off before people is one thing, but being scrutinized under a microscope by everyone is another matter entirely.
Soon, a pillar of golden-green light descended from the sky and enveloped the Sky Ship. After confirming the system prompt information, the teleportation officially activated, and with the crowd’s exclamations, the Sky Ship flashed with demon light, and the scene before Da Fei’s eyes changed, returning the Sky Ship to the dock of the Pool of Radiance.
At that moment, General Ragnar of the Pool of Radiance was already waiting at the dock. Seeing Da Fei appear, he waved enthusiastically, "Warrior! I have important matters to discuss with you!"
Oh? Is there a new quest? Da Fei, curious, jumped off onto the dock and asked, "What can I do for you, General?"
Ragnar excitedly said, "According to the information from the military department, you, the warrior, intend to disrupt the rear cities of the enemy underground?"
Da Fei laughed, "Does the General want to come along too?"
Ragnar solemnly said, "I very much want to! It’s been my dream!"
Oh! A General-level reinforcement? Da Fei was delighted, "Having such a powerful force from the General is a great boon. Hurry aboard, General."
But Ragnar shook his head solemnly and said, "But I can’t leave my war zone! So my suggestion is, since you’re going to sabotage the cities of the Hell Race anyway, why not assist me in attacking Demon Flame City? Demon Flame City is the Hell Race’s launching point for attacking the Pool of Radiance and is located within my war zone. Although we successfully secured the Pool of Radiance, the enemy retreated to Demon Flame City. It’s a dire threat to the Pool of Radiance, and I won’t have peace until it’s eliminated!"
— System Prompt: You have received the campaign mission ’Attack Demon Flame City’ from Pool of Radiance garrison General Ragnar. Would you like to accept?
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched! Damn, they’re giving me more trouble, huh? Fact is, my initial target was indeed Demon Flame City as this rear base. But due to changing circumstances, I instead ventured deeper underground to Fire Cave City.
Da Fei quickly opened the map given by Lamia. Lamia’s map only marked the eight cities under contract: Fire Cave City, Shadow City, Sindler City, Moyan City, Flame Prison City, Sindaga City, Swamp Prison City, and Demon Bone City. Demon Flame City wasn’t even marked, indicating it’s not a rear city.
Da Fei asked, "Does the General know where Demon Flame City is located?"
Ragnar nodded, "The Hell Army attacked me once, causing a complete collapse. If I didn’t know where the enemy came from, that would be sheer incompetence, right? After you pacified the Pool of Radiance, I didn’t sit idly by. With my tireless tracking, I finally found the hidden barrier to Demon Flame City and developed a method to break through it. As long as I guide you, you’ll undoubtedly find it, and I’ll handle the task of breaking the barrier!"
Damn, have to wait until I settle you before knowing where the enemy’s nest is, you’re quite something. But that’s fine, since I’m "test sailing" this time, I indeed need to find a place where no one can see and practice the God-level Gun Cabin in action. Otherwise, if I directly enter the collaborative trap set by the Japanese players, who knows how many secrets I’ll expose? Plus, all the players in Japan are being sent to the Underground City as laborers, there surely aren’t any players in Demon Flame City.
Da Fei decided: "Alright, I’ll assist the General in fulfilling his wish!"
——System Prompt: You have accepted General Ragnar’s mission...
The General was delighted: "With the warrior here, I can finally regain my honor! Now I can follow the warrior to go on an expedition, if the warrior needs anything, just tell me, I will offer everything I can without reservation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a trade box appeared in front of Da Fei, filled with troops and ammunition supplies from Pool of Radiance.
Damn, is this the rhythm of letting me pick freely? He’s really serious about this! Yes, attacking an enemy city must be serious. The problem is my cabin is already full, I can’t take anything! Do I have to unload the 2000 units of food that Tamilia bought?
In the midst of this frustration, Da Fei saw a large quantity of catapult ammunition in the trade box! Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped. Speaking of which, didn’t I bring the catapults from Sando across the country back then? In the end, I hesitated and didn’t throw them, ended up using them in Sulfur Blood Sea to suppress the tornado and comprehend Fluid Mechanics.
As for now, we’re already starting the Divine War, why care about anything? Of course, let’s smash them happily and fulfill the wish! Right, with the spaciousness of the God-level Gun Cabin I can at least fit 4 catapults, right? Okay, then I’ll validate the power of ship-mounted catapults. Speaking of which, when I first went out to sea facing Sea Demon Scylla, it summoned a lot of Undying Battleships to play with catapults, although the accuracy was not good, the power was quite terrifying once they were densely packed together.
Da Fei selected 2000 units of catapult ammunition and 4 catapults: "General, I only need these, let’s first unload some goods."
The General responded happily: "Alright, immediately dispatch workers!"
During Da Fei and the General’s conversation, a large group of players from Japan unknowingly gathered around the dock. Needless to say, these players were drift athletes heading to Lamia Village. When the dock workers officially started working, these players squatted on the dock and didn’t leave.
Damn! This is obviously calculating the capacity of my cabin! Fine, fine, I’ll unload 2000 units of food, you figure it out.
However, if they see the General boarding my ship, won’t my intentions be exposed? As long as they’re not dumb, they can guess something, what if they send players to monitor in Demon Flame City, wouldn’t my "test sailing" be really uncomfortable?
Da Fei then found the General and chuckled: "General, can you board my ship when no one is watching?"
The General was surprised: "What does the warrior mean?"
Da Fei cleared his throat: "Just curious, I want to know how the General infiltrates behind enemy lines to find where the enemy cities are located."
The General, in a great mood, laughed heartily: "You really underestimated me, warrior. But indeed, warrior, with your God-level Reconnaissance Skill and also Master-Level Sentinel, I might not be better than you! Alright, let me show off a bit to the warrior, once I finish directing the dock affairs, warrior doesn’t need to call me, just launch the ship."
Da Fei happily said: "Alright! Let’s do it"
...
At this moment, the Mitsubishi Command Center was bustling. The news of Da Fei appearing at the Pool of Radiance naturally immediately attracted close attention from the Mitsubishi Team. Da Fei repeatedly unloading goods at the dock left all team members puzzled, what was Da Fei planning?
Tsukamoto frowned: "According to reconnaissance skill intel from the front-line players, Da Fei’s repeated goods are food and catapult ammunition, and the food is not going to the market for sale but stored in the dock warehouse. Is there any necessary link between these two?"
Gunno Yosai frowned: "If Da Fei wanted to buy food to transport to Lamia Village, he could buy it directly at Pool of Radiance, there’s no need for this kind of turnover, right?"
Sly God questioned: "I just want to know what’s the use of catapults? Dropping things from high altitude?"
All team members stiffened: "Certainly so! This must be a terrifying siege method!"
Tsukamoto frowned: "Then why hasn’t Da Fei used it before?"
Sly God frowned: "It should be limited by cargo capacity?"
While discussing, the workers at the dock finished, Da Fei’s battleship slowly ascended into the darkness. Then the front-line players immediately reported: "The cabin capacity of Da Fei is accurately calculated, it’s 2000 units!"
At this moment, all team members suddenly realized: "Ah, so this is the load limit of the Flying Giant Ship..." (To be continued.
