Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree
Chapter 1417 - 891: What They Can Give, You Cannot
Maniya City, the base of Amway Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing the sudden explosion of magic fireworks in the sky, the players discussing the details of the plan for action two days later were slightly taken aback.
"Why send the signal now? Didn’t they say it would start in two days?"
Dongdong frowned.
They valued this operation greatly and had made thorough preparations, but the time was ultimately too short, and many things were still not arranged over the past two days.
Especially the work on castle defense; it has not yet been replaced with the "own people" of the Seventh Legion, and soldiers loyal to the empire are still in charge.
Not to mention, the Divine Arts defense barrier nodes on the city walls have not been destroyed; Maniya City employs the most complex and powerful defense barrier, with nodes scattered throughout the city, almost impossible to breach once activated.
That’s the most terrifying part; as the Holy City of the Eternal Church, the energy of the Divine Arts defense barrier is formidable, once activated, the rebellion can basically be declared a failure.
Thinking about the various unfinished tasks now, a time, all the players appeared solemn.
"Could it be... that some mishap happened?"
Caesar speculated.
"I’ll contact the players hidden in the legion and ask what happened."
Demacia pondered and said.
After a while, his expression changed slightly:
"The action’s exposure, the Seventh Legion has a traitor, our persuaded deputy regimental commander Bowen was killed, the main regimental commander Wolf is leading the personal guard to hunt down the persuaded high-level officers, the remaining high-level officers decide to stage the uprising in advance."
Upon hearing this, the players all tightened their expressions.
"That’s bad! Doesn’t that mean the plan is likely to fail?"
A player said worriedly.
Demacia gently shook his head:
"Things haven’t reached the worst point yet; Bowen always kept a hand back, aside from the most trusted, and devout few guard captains, other high-level officers of the resistance army are not clear about the number of participants, they know very little. So, we still have a chance! Of course, the action must be advanced."
"We can’t wait; the Seventh Legion is very important; it concerns whether the upcoming actions can proceed smoothly, we must also plan ahead."
Dongdong said seriously. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"I’ll contact the informants from the Mercenary Guild now, letting nearby three large mercenary groups support the resisters of the Seventh Legion!"
Cyber said hurriedly.
"I’ll notify the underground believers in the city."
Dongdong also stood up from his seat.
"Then I will take the remaining players to try to infiltrate the tower, see if we can regain control of the city gate, and destroy those defense barrier nodes."
Demacia added.
After saying, he looked at the group again:
"Folks, the action is hastily organized, we must exert our efforts when necessary, don’t be stingy with revival coins."
"Don’t worry."
"Exactly, just a few revival coins."
"Yes, we’re here to witness the history of Segus."
The players responded one after another.
"Alright! Then let’s act separately, stay in contact online!"
Demacia was delighted.
"No problem!"
"OK!"
"Rest assured!"
After speaking, the players changed into black long cloaks adorned with golden scepters and falcon hoods, looking like assassins from large ACT games, appearing very mysterious and handsome.
It is said that these assassin outfits were specifically commissioned by Demacia, each participant in this event received one.
Then, everyone put on golden armbands on their right arms, picked up weapons convenient for action, and left the base.
...
The camp of the Seventh Legion.
Chief Regimental Commander Wolf, surrounded by his personal guard, stood in front of the legion’s camp, looking very displeased.
Inside the camp was chaos; Imperial soldiers had divided into two distinct factions, fighting against each other.
Most had golden armbands on their right arms, showing fervent expressions, being led by high-level officers in a battle against the guards loyal to the chief regimental commander.
Flags, apparently prepared long ago, were held high and waved continuously.
The flags were red, adorned with golden Life Scepters, fluttering in the wind.
Wolf’s face grew increasingly sullen.
Watching his guards retreating under the suppression of the rebels, he snorted angrily, drew his sword, and raised it high:
"My knights! Follow me to suppress these rabble!"
Behind him, the Golden Knights loyal to the Wolf Family raised their weapons and joined the fight following him.
Most of these Golden Knights were lower-level nobles, possessing great strength, and upon joining the battle, the average strength of the resistance army, only Silver Lower, instantly found themselves under increased pressure.
Threads of chaos began to appear in the ranks.
The action was too rushed after all.
Although the high-level officers had long been prepared, the soldiers were different.
Even though most soldiers had goodwill towards the Life Church, many were still not mentally prepared to resist.
However, at this moment, a young high-level officer stepped out.
He raised the flag of resistance high, waving it while shouting:
"Brothers! For equality, for freedom! For a beautiful and pure future! Charge!"
After speaking, golden light blossomed on him, and a subtle wave spread out, invigorating the resistance troops covered by it, filling them with strength.
It is the eighth-ring area-effect buff magic [Morale Boost].
Seeing the young officer’s appearance, Wolf’s expression was furious.
