God-level Hero-Chapter 1206 - 1120: Japan’s Plot to Counterattack the China Region

——"Good morning, audience. Welcome to the 7 AM live broadcast of ’Hero News.’ We are lucky to have Star Guild’s team commander and coach Jiang Dawei, Mr. Jiang, as our guest in the studio. Hello, Mr. Jiang!"

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Hello, audience, hello, host, good morning everyone! Since our guild leader was busy all night and doesn’t have the energy, I’ll answer the questions that our audience is most interested in."

The host laughed and said, "Actually, our live broadcast team also stayed up all night to collect materials for the show. What the audience is most concerned about now is the state of our Chinese players in the Japan Zone National War. Last night saw many inspiring victories, as well as misunderstandings and conflicts with players from other countries. Of course, the most important event was the world announcement at 3:30 AM when famous Chinese player Da Fei killed a Demon God-level expert, and the release of the video showing him wiping out the Japan National Team for the third time. This third incident has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life in Japan, with known media even publishing comments condemning Chinese players for their lack of morality and esports spirit... Uh, Captain Jiang, what’s your take on this third incident?"

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Previously, players from around the world condemned the Japan Zone for using faction infiltrators to trap the Bright Alliance, arguing that this violated esports spirit. The Japan Zone adamantly replied that their actions followed faction confrontation rules and game rules, and were not cheating. Now, we can proudly say that Da Fei’s actions follow faction confrontation rules and game rules."

The host laughed and said, "Indeed, since everyone is competing within the rules, there’s not much more to say. Even if the Japan Zone wants to wage a propaganda war, I don’t think our China Region will fall behind."

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Exactly, fundamentally Japan Zone National War arose from Japan’s backward measures, so even their traditional allies may not genuinely support them. Thus, I believe many international friends will cheer for Da Fei and for our China Region."

The host nodded, "Makes sense. Another concern for players is that the main force of 15 European Union Zone players in the Japan Zone fell 6 levels overnight, making it almost impossible for them to return to level 50 within the next week. This means they won’t be able to enter the New World National War Zone in time. So, Captain Jiang, where do you think these 15 main force players will go in the remaining days? Will they continue grinding instances to level hard?"

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "That’s a good question. If I were PKed and dropped 6 levels, I wouldn’t continue grinding instances as it would only worsen the disadvantage. Using chess tactics to explain, if a key piece is inevitably going to be captured, the only way is to exchange pieces and attempt to capture a key piece on another battlefield to offset the disadvantage. Thus, the Japan Zone is most likely to seek a new battlefield!"

The host was surprised, "A new battlefield? For example?"

Captain Jiang said earnestly, "It doesn’t exclude the possibility that they might cross zones again and come to China’s Divine Punishment City! After all, these 15 main players from the Japan Zone successfully reached the European Union Divine Punishment City and completed their tasks. Considering the severe counterattack situation in China’s Divine Punishment City, Hell’s Side is apparently more desperate for support, so their coming to China’s Divine Punishment City is also quite possible!"

The host nodded, "Makes sense, then the Bloodrose Guild who hosts the Chinese Divine Punishment City war must be careful."

Captain Jiang solemnly said, "They must be careful! After all, dropping levels in the game only reduces some attribute points; their learned skills are still there, so their actual combat power hasn’t been much affected. They’re still the top Hell Race player group, and we mustn’t fall into the illusion that they’re incompetent because they’ve been repeatedly guarded at the Resurrection Point."

Host: "Makes sense! Another topic of interest to players is what exactly the Demon God-level expert Da Fei killed was? What impact will this have on the entire National War’s progression? Will Hell’s Side retaliate frantically with a large number of God-level experts?"

Captain Jiang shook his head and smiled, "Everyone knows Da Fei is highly conscious about confidentiality, so we don’t know what he killed. Even if we did, it would be akin to state secrets at this stage. However, concerning the impact of killing an expert on National War progression, it really depends on this expert’s position. If it’s a General Level corps commander, the issue would be quite severe. Either Hell’s Side would retaliate frantically or gauge their strength before withdrawing, and I think the latter is more likely. After all, looking at the overall progress of the game, Hell Race’s main focus is on the richer resources in the New World and hasn’t planned a full-scale war in the Old World yet. As for if it’s an ordinary expert without an important position, it needn’t be mentioned, so everyone can battle confidently without any hesitation."

Host: "I see, thank you for Captain Jiang’s guidance..."

...

Bloodrose Studio, the first ray of morning sunlight shone through the window.

"Shift change! Shift change! Time to eat! Time to eat!"

"Oh so tired! I’m not even going to eat; I’m going straight to sleep!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, Bloodrose Qiqi, who was spirited after an all-nighter, greeted Bloodrose Holy Spear coming in for the shift change: "Hello, Sister Ann! Just now, Captain Jiang from Star Guild reminded us during the broadcast to be careful as Japan Zone’s main force might come to our China’s Divine Punishment City."

The off-duty beauties laughed loudly, "They’ve already been guarded at the Resurrection Point three times, yet they dare to come abroad! If they really attack, the number of Crusaders signing up in the China Region will definitely multiply, drowning them in a spit flood per person!"

Bloodrose Holy Spear said indifferently, "Everyone, don’t be complacent. After all, they might be the legendary Second-tier Demons, whose combat power is unrivaled by ordinary players. Otherwise, no matter how many people go, they’d only be sending experience and heads to the opponent, unwittingly favoring them!"

Bloodrose Qiqi sighed with a smile, "We surely won’t underestimate them. We’re just worried that ordinary Crusader players who haven’t had the chance to join the National War might be overly eager to show off."

Bloodrose Holy Spear frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem. Let’s start mobilizing and taking precautions within our individual team groups. When Big Sister Ann arrives, we’ll coordinate with other large guilds!"

"Got it!"

...

Meanwhile, Brother Hao Ono Shinichiro, busy setting up a warehouse overnight at Red Name Village, received information from Mitsubishi Team Headquarters.

"Ono-kun, it’s Yamada. Did you hear about last night’s incident?"

Ono rubbed his eyes, bloodshot and depressed, and said, "I know! Uh, why is Mr. Yamada reaching out to me? Has there been any change in personnel at headquarters?"

Yamada shook his head, "How could there be! If an ordinary Chinese person caused Mitsubishi to change personnel, it would be both painful for our friends and joyous for our enemies. The President is just overly exhausted and went to the hospital for rest, and Captain Tsukamoto has matters to handle on the fan side."

Ono let out a sigh of relief, "Then I’m relieved! If domestic players’ irrationality led to personnel changes, it would be Mitsubishi’s biggest tragedy!"

Yamada nodded, "Ono-kun makes a good point. Now we have an important counterattack plan needing Ono-kun’s full cooperation! If initial results show prospects of victory to headquarters, they’ll deploy a strong team for you in the China Region within three days, so you don’t have to rely on Da Fei Guild’s useless bootlickers anymore!"

Ono’s spirit lifted, "Please instruct, headquarters!"

Yamada said earnestly, "After last night’s exchange, we must acknowledge a fact: our 15 main players are completely no match for Da Fei! So we must avoid him; therefore, the battlefield is decided to be China’s Divine Punishment City! Currently, the battle situation in China’s Divine Punishment City is very strange; based on a series of resource collection tasks released to players by the Divine Punishment City NPC, it doesn’t seem like an offensive against Hell Fortress but rather a defensive and stalling strategy. This contradicts the mobile fortress tactics completely, so we preliminarily conclude that China’s Divine Punishment City is strong externally but weak internally, perfectly suitable for our main players!"

Ono’s eyebrow twitched, "I see! But China’s professional experts have already advised Chinese players in Divine Punishment City to prepare for defenses!"

Yamada sneered, "Doesn’t this further illustrate that China’s Divine Punishment City is strong outside but weak inside? If they were truly powerful, they’d definitely not mention it at all and wait silently for us to take the bait."

Ono, invigorated, "Makes sense! So what is my task?"

Yamada said earnestly, "Ono-kun’s task is to figure out a way to buy a Crusader game account at a high price, infiltrate the Chinese command team chat group. Initially, you’ll surely be unknown; when our main players arrive, they’ll first defeat ordinary Chinese players rendering them helpless, then they’ll very cooperatively send some heads to Ono-kun, making you famous quickly and gaining influence. After that, it’s what Ono-kun excels at!"

Ono shook excitedly, "I now have a specific action plan! At first, Chinese players will definitely be conservatively defensive under large guilds’ direction, but I’ll mock large guilds in the forums, stirring up Chinese players’ national sentiments, pressuring the large guilds. Then, I’ll prove through ongoing victories that large guilds lack leadership while simultaneously accusing them of being a traitor guild unwilling to resist, and at that point, even if I stop speaking, naturally, there will be radicals pushing the waves, causing Chinese players to lose complete control and fall into our meticulously set trap, annihilating them in one fell swoop!"

Yamada clapped and laughed, "Just what one expects of Ono-kun! Good, then Ono-kun shall prepare immediately! We’ll notify you before our main players move out!"
