Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1231 - 800: Anticipation (Bonus Update)
"If he were to command... I fear that even if we broke into the fortress, he could still control the large troops?"
Transforming Ji Gang couldn’t help but think.
And with this thought, another idea suddenly popped into his mind.
What if Feng were to command?
Although Feng hasn’t commanded over the mic, Transforming Ji Gang has received quite a bit of guidance from her during the process of commanding the army.
Initially, although he respected her outwardly due to her high prestige among experienced players, he didn’t really take it to heart.
However, with several instances of command, every time Feng hit the nail on the head with his problems, helping him patch up shortcomings, he finally realized that this Feng from the Mengmeng Committee indeed had something.
Frankly speaking, he even wondered if he could recruit her to be the vice president of the Catastrophe Knight Order.
But that’s just a thought. Feng is a friend of Little Xian Miao, that monster-like middle schooler, whom he still doesn’t want to provoke.
With this thought, Transforming Ji Gang couldn’t help but look around.
"Huh? Where’s Feng?"
"Did she have itchy hands and run to the frontlines to kill monsters again?"
...
The Goddess’ Holy Light shone in the sky, like the most beautiful scenery on the battlefield.
And on the ground, players were eager and filled with fighting spirit.
Perhaps it was the reward of relentless pursuit flashing across the screen that motivated them, or because the Goddess was right above them, urging them to perform well.
This fortress, built around the entire volcano, was large enough to accommodate a million strong Demon Army, and with only ninety thousand players, there’s plenty of room to maneuver. The fortress was smokey throughout...
The battle lasted a full day and night before gradually dying down, and by this time, except for the ones that escaped, the remaining enemies in the Demon Fortress had been utterly annihilated by the players.
The fortress, shrouded in thick smoke, was adorned with the flag of the Elf Forest, waving in the sound of the wind.
This was also designed by Dongdong, but unlike the red-gold scepter emblem full of dark humor from Fengyue Free Territory, it appeared much more exquisite.
The flag’s main tone was green, still featuring the emblem of the Life Scepter, but surrounding the scepter were blue stars representing the players.
According to Dongdong, the Life Scepter symbolizes the Goddess, stars are the Chosen Ones, and the green at the bottom represents the Elf Forest. The flag’s meaning is that those living in the Elf Forest, the Chosen Ones, fight for the Goddess.
Eve knew that this guy initially wanted to print his own image directly on the flag.
But considering no force in Segis World would dare boldly print the True God’s image on a flag, to avoid deduction of favorability by church NPCs, Dongdong had to reluctantly give up...
In the fortress, blood flowed like rivers, with demon equipment piling up everywhere, not yet collected.
The stench was pervasive, akin to biological weapons; even with the sense of smell blocked, it made people dizzy. Eventually, various guilds had to send players to clean and purify the environment.
According to the Mythical Giant Dragons, this fortress and the Gate of Hell beside it would remain, serving as one of the players’ bases in the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, as well as a bridgehead for the sixth level of hell, so it’s better to handle the environment properly.
And in the corners of the fortress, many players were secretly taking out their portable magic materials, beginning to carve sacrificial arrays on the ground.
The quality of demons varied, naturally so did their equipment. Besides the higher-level demon equipment being attractive, most didn’t need purification or repair; sacrificing them to the Goddess for contribution points was practical.
Even if the Goddess only granted a tiny bit.
Of course, this was also because the Goddess’ statue had already been erected in the fortress.
Otherwise, even if sacrificing, players would receive the "outside of the reception area, unable to sacrifice" system prompt.
The Goddess also had a service area.
This phrase was commonly used jokingly by players.
The Goddess’ statue was placed in the largest hall of the fortress.
The hall was crowded with players, continuously praying to the statue, while a long queue formed outside the hall...
It was a routine event after each big battle to accumulate enough contribution points to log into the game mall for exchanging or repairing damaged equipment, and those with enough experience points who received advancement or tenure slots would advance or change roles on their personal interface.
Every now and then, one could hear players’ laughter or cheers.
Most likely, another Luck King drew a good item in the lottery or was awarded a good skill by the game system during advancement.
Then, other players would show envy, jealousy, and resentment, continuing to pray devoutly to the statue, silently chanting "Goddess bless."
In the Elf Kingdom, where there’s "Goddess favor," it seems that mysticism has a bit of truth to it, and many believe the game system has an intrinsic luck value bound to Goddess’ favor.
Just call for the Goddess’ blessing!
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Goddess’s figure was long gone, only clouds flickering with lightning as they sparkled.
Though the clouds had scattered considerably compared to before.
Not only here, but in many places.
This could be regarded as another achievement of players. As they plunged deeper into the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, and erected one after another statue of the Goddess within it, the abyssal power across the entire plane seemed to be slowly weakening.
With the battle over, players continued fussing around for hours, gradually calming down.
After a fierce battle, regardless of excitement, players were exhausted.
However, none opted to leave.
Because, the mission was not yet completed.
Or perhaps... the hidden mission was only just beginning.
Sitting against the fortress wall, Transforming Ji Gang took out a water bag for a sip of water, gazing at the massive Gate of Hell below the volcano.
Menacing, towering, seemingly shrouded in a haze within the gate, with boiling fog-like mists swirling around.
Unable to see clearly inside the gate.
He smiled slightly, pulling up the hidden mission triggered during the assault on the Demon Fortress:
[Epic Plot Mission: Into Hell]
[Mission Background: The Seventh Demon God Azazel has been confined within the Demon Maze by the great Goddess. The first layer of hell has become the main battlefield of the God-Demon War. To save himself, Azazel presented the location of the Hell core to the Goddess...]
[Mission Objective: Race against the gods and demons, assist the Goddess in acquiring the Hell core within the first layer of hell and obtain control rights...]
[...]
Looking at the system mission description and the generous rewards marked below, Transforming Ji Gang’s eyes shone brightly.
"The main battlefield of the God-Demon War?"
"I wonder what the legendary Angel Army and Prayer Army are like, whether they are the same as portrayed in the opening sequence when the game was first released..."
With thoughts of the opening animation he had watched countless times, Transforming Ji Gang became increasingly excited.
With levels rising, maps expanding, and player forces growing stronger, the story of the "Elf Kingdom" became ever more thrilling.
Now he was falling more and more in love with this game world.
Through his gaming, Transforming Ji Gang confirmed that Segis World was but one plane under the entire game’s backdrop, and each celestial body in the sky represented a plane...
If given the chance, he hoped to tread every corner of the Segis Universe in the future, witnessing the local cultures and customs of each plane.
Oh, no...
It’s heard that Segis World has been fully mapped, so once this mission ends, he’d explore the entire plane first.
Right now, Segis World is experiencing "Spiritual Energy Revival," with mutated Demon Beasts everywhere, allowing him to also be a Ranger slaying demons...
Thinking and anticipating this... Transforming Ji Gang wrapped warmly in his little blanket and gradually fell asleep.
