In general, heroes do not die. When an enemy hero is killed, they flash into white light and return to the city of death, and after a period of recuperation, they can come back in full force. So, to truly weaken the enemy, we need to seize the opportunity to capture and imprison their heroes. This is why our NPC generals aim to capture them alive.

Speaking of capturing heroes, there’s a rare outdoor facility in the game known as the Hero Prison. As long as a player rescues the heroes imprisoned inside, they can gain the heroes’ following. The scene where Da Fei encountered Elena and the deceased dwarf elder brother is a very typical and high-end Hero Prison.

Now everyone is joyfully heading to the Generals to deliver the task:

—— System Prompt: Battle is over! You gained 560,000 experience, and your Ranger Hatred Accumulation Skill gained 36,000 Hate Value. You earned the achievement "Victory of the 29th Campaign," gained 10 Command Power, an additional 100% bonus from the War Poem Skill, an extra 10 Command Power, and received 10 World Reputation.

—— System Prompt: You received General Yarid’s reward: 3 million Experience, 100,000 Gold Coins, 3 Skill Books, and 30,000 Alliance Reputation.

Looking at these scattered rewards, not even a glorious victory achievement, Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This is the result of showing off and carrying people in a team. Not only are the rewards diluted, but the last hit was even completed by an NPC general. It’s really frustrating. In the end, playing solo and having it all to oneself is the real deal.

At this moment, the General’s voice was filled with excitement: "We have captured these three enemy vanguard, a significant blow to the enemy! Our next step is to slowly crush the enemy’s lines and eventually defeat the enemy’s Demon Worm General. As for now, we need to bring these three Demon Worms back for research, and warriors, please continue working hard; every victory in every battle on every battlefield will have a profound impact on the whole situation..."

Finally, amidst the General’s spittle-filled speech, a group of NPC deputies transformed into giant crows to transport these three massive specimens back to the city.

At this moment, Bloodrose Qiqi laughed and asked: "Brother Fei, now that we have achieved a stage victory, what should we do next?"

What should be done? Honestly, Da Fei is tired from showing off and carrying people, and he’s truly not interested in enduring till the final attack on the enemy’s main BOSS. But with Bloodrose’s newly recruited overseas army Sharukhan taking over, Da Fei has the idea of retiring back to solo play.

So Da Fei tapped his head and laughed: "I plan to return to the city to handle some matters and then check on other battlefields." Upon saying this, Da Fei glanced at Ivan and his Defense Tower: "Will the reward for this mission compensate for the tower’s expenses?"

Ivan immediately replied: "Getting 3 Skill Books is a decent return. Brother Fei, I want to introduce a player from our country in battlefield 2 named ’Emperor Peter’ to Brother Fei. He’s interested in your Fallen Angel Staff, and Brother Fei can freely go to other battlefields, so feel free to check it out if you have time."

Oh my! What a wide business chain! Da Fei laughed: "Okay, I am quite interested."

Bloodrose Qiqi also laughed: "Don’t worry, Brother Fei, we will send people to garrison here, and having an outpost outside the city counts as a leverage point to counterbalance the enemy army."

Sharukhan also immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Da Fei, I’m here!"

Da Fei laughed: "Alright, then I’ll take 400 hunters back to the city, and the rest of the troops will stay here." Then he smiled at Fire Dance Fierce Battle: "See you at 8 PM at the archery battle."

Fire Dance Fierce Battle was overjoyed: "Please, Brother Fei, give me some guidance then."

Da Fei sighed inwardly: You considerate little fellow, knowing to voluntarily join Brother’s guild, otherwise, would Brother even bother to support you?

Just then, the regional channel was in an uproar!

Bloodrose Qiqi’s face changed dramatically: "Oh no! Several hundred Japanese undercover players in the city, at the cost of turning red-named, intercepted and massacred the three Demon Worm heroes that the General was escorting back!"

"Massacred!" Everyone was shocked, jaw dropping. This means undercover agents have let our hard-earned victories slip away like escaped tigers returning to the mountains!

This infuriated Ivan to the point of stomping in rage: "Despicable diminutive chickens!"

Bloodrose Qiqi sighed deeply: "It seems we underestimated the level of disgust from Japanese players."

Fire Dance Fierce Battle sighed: "It seems this battlefield progress will be considerably delayed again."

Da Fei was even more stifled by a surge of nameless anger! How extraordinary am I to be played by a group of ’disheartened’ undercover expendables! Luckily, the third brother didn’t use his three precious seeds just to show off; otherwise, I’d have suffered an even bigger loss—not something I can tolerate! I simply can’t stand it!

Originally, Da Fei was considering a successful retreat, but now he’s changed his mind. Da Fei precisely wants to capture those three escaped BOSSes along with the main BOSS all at once! Just to make up for the regret of not looting equipment from capturing them alive. In short, I’ll go back to check on the repair progress of the Flying. Once my Flying transports me out of the mountains, you all are done for.

Da Fei calmly said: "Everyone stay calm, we caught them once, we can do it the second time. I’m heading back to the city first."

Everyone quickly said: "Safe travels, Brother Fei."

When Da Fei led the team back to the city, the entire regional channel was filled with Japanese players’ celebratory voices, and some Japanese players deliberately stripped down to their underpants to do various bizarre mocking, lewd actions in front of Da Fei and his female deputy officers.

Da Fei was fuming with rage! Frankly speaking, these Japan shameless have not tasted enough suffering; there will be times when they cry later on. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

With a flash of light, Da Fei’s team returned to Cold Jade City.

Tamilia came to greet him again: "Welcome back, Lord City Lord!"

Da Fei quickly asked: "When can our Flying be deployed?"

Tamilia frowned: "Lord City Lord, the fusion of the Flying and the Hydra Bone will take at least half a month. Unless it’s a particularly critical military situation, I still suggest you don’t easily abandon this hard-won repair opportunity."

Damn! Compared to the growth of the Flying, nothing else is significant if the sky collapses!

Da Fei chuckled: "No problem, there’s no rush, let the Priest Group slowly repair it."

Yet, despite saying this, Da Fei was still feeling uneasy. Half a month’s time equals a day and a half in real-time, a substantial timespan for experts, providing substantial breathing space for Japan to generate significant variables.

How to take down the main BOSS without the Flying? In that moment, Da Fei thought of the Chinese player who just appeared above his head piloting an airship. That must be a deep-concealed master. Hiding himself is one thing, but hiding the ship is something else entirely extraordinary. If I personally ask him for help to commandeer his airship, no doubt he would give me some face.

Da Fei immediately messaged Bloodrose Qiqi: "Have you found the Chinese airship player who just assisted us?"

Bloodrose Qiqi immediately replied: "Not yet, Xingchen is also helping to look, no findings so far. He might be a player like Brother Fei who solo mixes the high-end battlefield. Rest assured, Brother Fei, I’ll notify you the moment there’s news."

Da Fei nodded: "Got it."

Mixing in the high-end battlefield is it? Since I have permission to all battlefields, I’ll personally invite him. However, his airship just left the battlefield recently and is probably busy fighting monsters and doing quests, so finding him now might not be feasible. I’d better first liquidate all the spoils I’ve piled up, and then retrieve the medal task from the Forest Hermit.

First and foremost, I acquired the Unicorn Flower Crown. Da Fei handed the wreath to Tamilia: "Take a look at this. It’s a wreath for nurturing Unicorn Female Knights. It seems to be a vine type too? Can you study and develop it? I’d love to gain the ability to mass-produce Unicorn Female Knights."

Tamilia took a look at the wreath and her expression shifted: "This is a vine specifically designed to absorb dark energy, somewhat similar to our Holy Vine. I will research it diligently."

Oh yes! Her words align perfectly with my thoughts. With her reassurance, I am at ease.

Da Fei felt quite cheerful: "I also got a piece of battle armor specialized for the Spider Demon clan, I’d like to see if our Lilim can use it."

Tamilia immediately opened the Space Gate to the Holy Vine Central Village: "This way, please! Lilim is resting in the Central Village." (To be continued.
