Chapter 71

In the game, players can choose from six racial factions: the Human, Elf, and Dwarf of the Light Alliance; and the Undead, Orc, and Demon of the Dark Alliance. As for the hidden races, there is currently no relevant information.

The Demon faction is probably the least popular among players, as the Demons have almost no strongholds on the surface of the Hero Continent. The world of Demon players is a fiery sky, scorching wasteland, and rivers of lava. In short, it gives players the feeling of playing another game, one that is oppressive and gloomy. Unlike the Undead, who can occasionally调剂 their mood by rushing to the green grasslands of the Human territory to kill and plunder.

More frustratingly, the first, second, and third-level troops of Demon players are not ranged, so losses are inevitable when going to war.

However, the advantage of the Demons is very clear: Legion Teleportation. The Demons are experts in spatial teleportation. Other races cannot use city portals to teleport troops, but only Demon cities can. Therefore, in the game's background legend, after a certain king repelled the invasion of Hell, he decided to pursue and launch a campaign to eradicate the roots of evil. However, this campaign ended in a miserable failure because the Demon realm is full of Demon cities, and the Demons can instantly concentrate all the troops from their cities to resist the invasion.

Not only that, the Demon world is a multiverse. In Chinese culture, it is understood as the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and in Western culture, it is understood as the Seven Hells. In short, the developers from various countries have reached a consensus to highlight the evil power of the Demons and to compensate for the playability of the Demon faction. The Demon worlds of different servers can be interconnected, while other races can only meet in the new world.

This means that during faction wars, if the Demon stronghold in a certain server is besieged and cannot hold out (which is almost impossible), it can initiate a server war mode and seek aid from Demons in other servers. Therefore, one of the major selling points of the Demon faction is that it allows players to interact internationally with players from other countries.

The Demons are known for their aggressiveness and can still leverage their powerful spatial teleportation ability even when away from their home in Hell. The Demon hero's profession skill is the Hell Gate.

— Hell Gate: The Demon army can open a portal on the battlefield to summon reinforcements from the depths of Hell. The initial summoning ratio is 30% of the army's size, 35% at intermediate level, 40% at advanced level, 45% at expert level, and 50% at master level.

Moreover, the special skill of the "Hell Gate Master" from the Japanese server is that each level up increases the Hell Gate effect by 1%. This means that if the hero reaches level 50, the Hell Gate effect is increased by 50%, and when combined with the master-level Hell Gate, it becomes 100%. If further combined with the sub-skill "Swarming Gate" that relies on luck, the summoning quantity doubles.

This means that when fighting the Demons, players must face an army that is more than half the size of their own. The only way to counter this is to launch a quick attack, preventing the Demons from summoning reinforcements through their portals. The Demons are also skilled at quick attacks, making the war extremely brutal. Both sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which is a painful experience for all players.

Now, Da Fei found himself in a predicament, realizing that he might have to face all the Demon players in the world.

Da Fei hurriedly asked, "Mayor, I've really stirred up a hornet's nest. How many troops will the Demons send to support? Do I have any support?"

Oseriman chuckled and said, "Our spatial teleportation is not as specialized as the Demons'. We have already done our best to teleport your large ship and troops into the Light Pool's barrier. We cannot provide you with more support. However, rest assured, the Abyssal Blood Pool is similar to our World Tree, both restricted by barriers. The Demons can only send young heroes to rescue, but are there any young heroes as excellent as you in this world? No! You can take on ten! I have confidence in you! You don't need support!"

— Ah! Ten? With a server war, could it be ten?

Since the first, second, and third-level troops of the Demons are melee with low defense and low health, Demon players generally start with a mechanical artillery flow. This means that Da Fei's pride, the 16-ballista cannons, might face thousands of ballista cannons from thousands of Demon players! This would turn him into a sieve! Even if there are not a thousand, ten from each server would be enough to make Da Fei suffer.

Damn, no mercy! This is completely a trap, isn't it? However, the thought of facing all the Demon players in the world sparked a buried sense of heroism in his heart! When was the last time he felt such heroism? A long time ago, probably when he was writing his autobiography "Da Fei and the Sea"?

Alright! Let's do it! Since there are two Demon god-level heroes in the Japanese server, Da Fei warned them not to come to the Chinese server, and if they do, not to let his god-level reconnaissance skill encounter them, or he would directly use the 16 ballista cannons, no, only one side can fire, so it would be eight ballista cannons plus Phantom Ballista to blast them to pieces!

Since he decided to go all out, he would discard his principles and push the NPC's potential to the limit.

Da Fei put on a thick face and said, "Mayor, since this Blood Eagle Flute is fine, you must help me solve the problem of the Harpy Barracks and the female secondary hero! Oh, and I want to take on a powerful hidden hero class!" Da Fei didn't believe that Makar would impatiently shout "dismiss" and send him away.

Oseriman coughed and said, "This... Mr. seems to have a secondary hero slot, and the kingdom's upper echelons should assign a young guide to you for this raid mission, but only as a temporary secondary hero."

Oh? A temporary secondary hero? What you can't get is often the most beautiful, and temporary workers are usually very powerful?

Da Fei quickly asked, "Is it a beauty?"

Oseriman chuckled and said, "That's not something I can decide. Now, let's talk about the Harpy Barracks. Do you mean her?" He pointed to Rongmama.

There's hope! As expected of a mayor-level NPC, he is generous! Compared to Makar, he is much stronger!

Da Fei said happily, "Yes! In any war, there will be casualties. In this expedition, I have no way to replenish troops, and my forces will only decrease. In the later stages, I might not be able to fight. The Demon Barracks are different; their principle is teleportation, requiring no town or population. Now that I have a trainer, I want to build a mobile barracks on the ship. The problem is that the ship is mobile, making the coordinates unstable. Please, Mayor, find a way to solve this!"

Oseriman nodded, "Mr. Da Fei, your understanding of the Demons is profound. Entrusting this mission to you was the right choice."

Da Fei chuckled, "Thank you, thank you."

Oseriman chuckled, "Actually, this problem is not difficult. You should know that many mages' towers, when you enter, seem much larger inside than they do from the outside, right?"

Well, that's a dungeon. Isn't that how it works in games? You enter a small house, and the scene changes to a large room. However, since he said it's not difficult, it should be manageable. Da Fei had to be polite.

Da Fei humbly said, "Although I haven't been inside a mage's tower, I have heard about it."

Oseriman nodded, "This is called Spatial Expansion. To put it simply, it's like the spatial bag everyone has. A small bag can hold many large items. Do you understand?"

Da Fei suddenly realized, "So, Mayor, you can turn my ship into a spatial bag and build a barracks inside?"

Oseriman nodded, "That's the idea. We can ask the great mages to modify a room into a different space. However, since it involves summoning troops, the implementation is much more complex. The great mages call it Absolute Static Spatial Expansion."

Da Fei was overjoyed, "I don't fully understand, but please, Mayor, make it happen for me."

Oseriman sighed, "For the Elven Kingdom, the technology is not the issue. I can talk to the higher-ups, and manpower is not a problem. However, there is one big issue that cannot be avoided."

Da Fei was shocked, "What big issue?"

Oseriman raised his hand flat, thumb touching the index finger. This gesture, when upright, is an OK sign, but when flat, everyone understands!

Da Fei was stunned, "Gold?"

Oseriman shook his head and sighed, "Ah, talking about money with a hero like you is vulgar, but there's no choice. This is not included in the mission's budget, and I have no authority to allocate funds from above or use the city's treasury, as it would affect my integrity and the image of Elven officials. In short, if you want to undertake this project, you will have to pay for it yourself. I can help you hire top-notch mages, who are usually hard to come by."

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Damn! Money is actually an issue?

Da Fei was shocked, "How much?"

Oseriman flatly extended his index finger, "At least this much. You definitely can't afford it, but it's not a problem. You have a share in the city's seafood, and you can pay in installments over time. I also trust your business skills."

One? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or, one million? From his expression, Da Fei sensed a strong sense of being tricked! Damn! Is this a joke? You pretend to help me, but how much are you actually charging?

Da Fei cautiously asked, "How much?"

Oseriman chuckled, "Compared to your great achievements, money is not an issue! It's only one hundred million."

— Ah! One hundred million! At the current market rate, that's hundreds of thousands of RMB! Da Fei could buy a car or a house with that... but he couldn't afford it! Damn!

Suddenly, Da Fei realized that NPCs are not so easy to manipulate. While he can demand from them, they can also subtly trap him! Is this intentional?
