Now Da Fei received a live video sent by Bloodrose Qiqi. He saw thousands of Japanese players pouring out of the city, densely packed. Meanwhile, the white light of the teleportation array in the city square flashed continuously, as players from other battlefields were transported over to join the departing ranks.

The next moment, the video angle switched to an overhead view. Needless to say, this was definitely the reconnaissance eagle view of Fire Dance Fierce Battle.

What on earth is this? At this moment, players from all over the city were bewildered, and the whole regional channel was abuzz with speculation. As for Da Fei, he vaguely felt this had something to do with Deirdre’s undercover operation; otherwise, the timing was too coincidental.

At this moment, Russian player Ivan’s laughter came from the video: "That scared me. I thought they were coming to demolish my three towers."

Fire Dance Fierce Battle laughed and said, "How could that be possible!"

Sharukhan said in a deep voice, "Could they be going out to transport a Trojan Horse into the city? Otherwise, I can’t imagine what so many people going out of the city would be for?"

Bloodrose Qiqi laughed and said, "Besides, this horse is likely being transported from underground."

Ivan laughed and said, "I think they might be going out to dig a road straight to the city gate for some kind of giant siege machine, or perhaps digging a trench to direct some corrosive acid water to corrode the city walls."

Bloodrose Qiqi laughed and said, "If the Japanese players were really that strong, they would have started work long ago and wouldn’t need to wait until now."

While laughing and speculating, the crowd stopped in front of the Demon race’s trench. Then in the direction of the trench, two people appeared, a Japanese player from the Hell Camp and his vice hero.

Fire Dance Fierce Battle’s reconnaissance eagle immediately flew closer to check. It was a demon player named Sly God, along with a Banshee vice hero.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed, "Banshee Hero!!" "Is this Japanese player here to show off their female hero?"

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat. It’s indeed related to Deirdre! But why is Japan organizing so many players from the Bright Alliance? Damn! I can’t understand this or figure it out! At this moment, Da Fei inexplicably felt a sense of frustration, as if his intelligence had been mocked! He even had a vague premonition of doom!

Just at that moment, Sly God waved his hand, and the crowd started moving. A dozen Japanese players from the Bright Alliance began charging towards the other side.

What is this?

The next moment, the Banshee hero made her move. She raised her hand and unleashed a chain of flames, sparking explosions in the crowd. Five or six players in the front row turned into white light and were instantly killed. Yet, with one falling after another, players from the crowd stepped up to follow.

For a while, the Banshee hero kept raising her hand, with one chain of flames after another exploding among the charging crowd. A series of death white lights soared into the sky, covering the battlefield in an unending sea of flames!

The entire city of players was in an uproar: "What is this? Are they using heads to grind merit?"

Da Fei was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Holy crap! Does Deirdre’s transformed state, killing my side’s troops, count as a red name? If so, how should the penalty be calculated? Will it count against me? And judging by this setup, could Japan be planning to kill all the Bright Alliance players in the city? During a national war, PK within the same faction incurs multiple times the reputation penalty. If that’s the case, the penalty, Da Fei could only imagine, is terrifying!

At that moment, Da Fei suddenly thought of Moon God Night! Isn’t she from the legendary national team? She should know, being able to transform between camps!

Da Fei hurriedly sent a message to Moon God Night to ask about the situation, anxiously waiting for her reply. Da Fei waited one second, five seconds, ten seconds!

What the hell! Dare to keep me waiting for ten seconds! And in these ten seconds, Deirdre acted five or six more times, causing dozens more Bright Alliance Japanese players to disappear in flashes!

Da Fei gritted his teeth and continued to wait! After waiting for a full half-minute, he finally heard an alert for a friend’s message. It was Moon God Night saying, "Hold on, thinking about my next move!"

Apu! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! Damn it! Does she know that lives are at stake? Every second of waiting, a few living Japanese players lose their not-so-precious lives!

At this moment, the entire regional channel was noisy, and other players from around the world who came to watch were blocked by a solid wall of Japanese players, further adding to the eerie atmosphere of the slaughter scene.

The whole of Japan was alarmed, and other parts of the world also received live reports in the First World. Although no one knew what the Japanese players were doing, the general consensus was highly unified: Japan is nurturing a Female Demon King!

Listening to Bloodrose Qiqi and the others discussing, Da Fei was even more uncertain. Are they really helping me nurture a Female Demon King? If so, shouldn’t I be happy? Yes, as long as there are no penalties, it’s a free gain for me!

At this moment, Moon God Night finally sent a message: "Damn! Got distracted by you just now, played a wrong card, lost!"

Damn it! Can you stop talking about your lousy cards? Do you even know who you’re talking to? Da Fei had no choice but to say helplessly: "I’m terribly sorry for that. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the previous issue."

Moon God Night said seriously: "I have a special dual-faction account, my reputation is calculated separately for both sides. Transforming is equivalent to switching to another game account, no matter what I do, it doesn’t affect the identity before transformation. In other words, if I find a player from the same faction to be unpleasant, I can switch factions and kill him with no consequences."

Da Fei exclaimed with surprise: "So you’re saying, if Deirdre transforms and kills someone, it might not have any impact either?"

Moon God Night sighed: "That’s where you interrupted me just now, I’m not sure! Because my account is a beta test account, I’m a special race. But your account is just a regular account, and your vice hero is just a regular race. Typically, if your vice hero kills someone, the punishment should be on you. But right now, I don’t know how to define the situation where a vice hero transforms and kills as an undercover. I was just wondering, could it be that your scheme was seen through by the Japanese, and they tricked you to lose reputation on purpose? If that’s the case, wouldn’t you suspect that I, being of ’Japanese nationality,’ am a traitor giving them inside information to purposely trap you?"

This thought shocked Da Fei immensely! Could there really be such a trap? If that’s really the case, after killing thousands of people, I might be stuck in Red Name Village for the rest of my life!

Moon God Night continued: "So, I can only hope your vice hero doesn’t encounter problems. After all, this is a mission triggered at the independent expedition stage, and if such a major faction switch occurs, the system would definitely notify the player."

Da Fei felt slightly more at ease! Yes, indeed, if the vice hero kills someone, especially killing so many people, something that could implicate the player at any time, the system would definitely give some warning to the player, right? And it’s quite illogical to be able to kill at will just by transforming. All the angels under me can transform, but obviously, they can’t kill at will.

Remembering something, Da Fei asked: "Do you think it’s possible for high-level Banshees to evolve into your type of dual-faction special race? After all, your existence suggests that the intelligence system allows such a situation. It should be possible for a player to evolve to this level through their own effort, right?"

Moon God Night sighed: "I don’t know. But from what I understand about Banshees, they have a racial trait of ’betrayal,’ meaning Banshees can always adapt to new masters and forget the old ones, which makes them the most agreeable commodity in hell for a new master. So, it’s also possible that your Banshee, when on an independent expedition, is on the brink of betrayal at any time. If your Banshee betrays, then no matter how many people she kills, it won’t affect you at all."

Da Fei was shocked all over: "How can that be! I personally nurtured the Banshee into a hero, and our friendship already breaks the bounds of the heavens!"

Moon God Night just said: "If that really is the case, then I really can’t predict what’s going to happen next."

Da Fei immediately fell silent. Suddenly, he recalled that Deirdre’s ’Hero’s Road’ quest hadn’t ended yet, as she had conducted a deal at New Oriental that officially promoted her to hero status, completing only the second stage of the ’Immortal Road,’ and now she was in her third stage, the "Extraordinary Path!" (Note: Chapter 998 ’Seemingly Trapped?’)

Exactly, this should be where she triggered her growth mission! What’s the big deal about killing thousands of players to become strong? Yes, no problem! All the anomalies triggered in a mission mode should be nothing to worry about! I need to stay calm.

At this moment, Moon God Night sent another message: "How’s your reconnaissance of the rear headquarters?"

Da Fei didn’t want anyone to know he had a Blood Eagle, so he took a screenshot from his main character’s perspective and sent it: "Did you see that big hole on the forest floor? That’s where the swarm just rushed out from. There are many giant scorpion lumberjacks in the forest continuously cutting wood and carrying it inside, which I think is the nutrients for the swarm."

Moon God Night responded with an "Oh": "So what’s your combat plan?"

Da Fei laughed: "Kill all those woodcutters? Or directly burn the whole forest down? Then kill through the wormhole?"

Moon God Night laughed: "Alright! Leave the woodcutter killing to me then, as soon as I finish off these two weaklings in cards, I’ll move out."

Da Fei was puzzled: "Even mercenaries can’t betray their faction just for money, can they?"

Moon God Night laughed proudly: "I’ll just recruit them as my vice heroes, won’t I?"

Da Fei was shocked: "Recruiting mercenaries? Isn’t that difficult?"

Moon God Night impatiently replied: "That’s why I need to concentrate on cards, to show them the power of a Gambling God so they’ll be convinced and submit, don’t bother me if you have nothing important."

Oh my god! So playing cards has such depth, you’re awesome! Da Fei could only chuckle: "Alright, I’ll wait for your news."

"Once your reconnaissance is done, you can go back and prepare your team. With such little troops, you might not have enough. Remember to get more wood to fill up the fuel."

Oh my god! Daring to act so arrogant in front of me, you’re awesome! Da Fei chuckled awkwardly and said: "Yes, yes, yes." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
