Chapter 271 - The Coalition Starts Off

Chapter 271 The Coalition Starts OffHaving walked out of the crowd, Xiao Feng hastened to find the location of the Coalition. However, there were so many players that he couldn’t find them after searching around the Sunset Town. After thinking for a while, he had no other option but to head towards the Dark Land.

After all, the Coalition consisted of more than 200,000 players. They would be quite eye-catching if they were around the Sunset Town. Apart from that, only the huge map of Dark Land could accommodate so many NPCs.

In fact, the Coalition was besieging on the periphery of the Dark Land. They had converged soon after they arrived at the Sunset Town. At the very beginning, the Coalition waited for Xiao Feng outside the Town but unexpectedly, as the Empire Announcement reverberated, the adventurers coming to the Sunset Town suddenly exploded, which just forced them out of the town.

In the end, faced with more and more adventurers, they had to keep retreating until they reached the periphery of the Dark Land. With enough space, they finally settled down. Meanwhile, the Coalition also sent people to inform Xiao Feng but they failed anyway.

Actually, there was a reason why the players forced the Coalition away. They all wanted to get some quests. Apart from the quests of the battlefield, they could also get the side quests of being awarded for killing from the NPCs of the Coalition.

Those without high fame points could only talk to the ordinary NPC soldiers on the periphery while those with high fame points were able to communicate with some leader-level commanders. And the management officers of various guilds who were dedicated to gaining more fame points could even talk to the core commanders of the Coalition and take over more advanced quests.

Faced with a swarm of players who flocked in great numbers overwhelmingly, the Coalition had to retreat and didn’t stop until they retreated to the Dark Land.

This was what it was at the moment.

With the more than 200,000 players of the Coalition as the center, millions of players laid a siege to them, which were only what could be seen. There were more unknown players to come, who had entered the Dark Land from various directions and started to creep.

There were so many players around the Coalition. Yet, if you took a close look, the players could actually be divided into different matrixes. Every one of the matrixes was a guild!

All the famous guilds of the Huaxia District were here. Very few of them were absent. They were rather ambitious and didn’t only want to gain achievement points like ordinary players. Instead, they advanced and retreated together with the Coalition, targeting at the City of Gloom!

“How come the NPC Coalition hasn’t acted yet? The creeps of the Dark Land are almost cleared up by the unspecialized characters. We won’t gain anything if we get there later.”

The guilds were quite distinct from each other and well ordered. Taking the Coalition as the center, at the left side were the northern guilds, evidently led by the Dynasty and at the right side were the northern guilds vaguely led by Midsummer. At the back were the guilds of Elf and Orc. After Glory lost the dominant position, the Wolf Guild became their leaders.

A lot of presidents, vice presidents and the other core management members of various grand guilds were not among their guild players. Instead, they gathered in the military matrixes of the Coalition, more specifically, at the rear of the headquarters of the Coalition. They were all aware of the importance of fame points so they focused on gaining fame points. Now the effect was rather obvious. They were qualified to talk with the command hierarchy of the Coalition, but it was only limited to the leaders like the bishop of temple and the commander of the Imperial Third Legion. As to the Legion Commander, Vice Legion Commander, Presiding Judge and the episcopate, they were still not qualified to talk with them.

“You are right. If we don’t start off soon, we can only gain some achievement points near the City of Gloom later. We can no way get the creeps on the way. I’ve just taken a look. At least several million players went in there.”

“I don’t know what the NPCs are waiting for. Why don’t they start off? If it were not for that they were still needed as the main force to attack the City of Gloom, we would do it ourselves.”

The presidents of some guilds who couldn’t wait for any longer spoke. As they watched groups of unspecified characters and small teams swarm into the battlefield of Dark Land, they couldn’t help feeling anxious. Anyone who killed the creeps there would gain achievement points. Otherwise, they wouldn’t call on so many people to come here.

“War Spirit Sky, don’t you have high fame points? I think you are qualified to talk with the Commander NPC. Go to ask what’s going on now. Why don’t they start off? If they still want to keep waiting, we will start off first to gain achievement points. We may as well meet up outside the City of Gloom.”

One of the presidents of the south guilds urged War Spirit Sky.

Tens of presidents of various guilds gathered here in flocks. At the moment, in the face of lucrative interests, all the players just put aside their personal resentments. For example, Liu Qiangwei, Brother Nine of Glory and Doomsday God were all there, despite the cold atmosphere, the members of the several guilds didn’t come into conflict.

“I’ve just asked about that. It is said that they are waiting for the Commander in Chief to give the order. The NPCs are also very anxious and they almost plan to issue a quest to ask us to look for the Commander in Chief.”

War Spirit Sky shook his head and said helplessly. His fame points were the most among the guild presidents, making him able to talk with the highest ranking of the NPC.

“What happened? The Commander in Chief of the Coalition is gone? And we have to look for him?”

“Is the Commander in Chief also an NPC? Has he been assassinated by the boss of the City of Gloom?”

“What? There is a Commander in Chief? Just now, I saw the Commander of the Imperial Third Legion and Presiding Judge of the Light Temple at the Coalition Headquarters. They are the top bosses! Aren’t they the Commanders in Chief? Does the prince of the Empire or the Pope of the Light Temple come here himself?”

Some players said in surprise. In their eyes, the Commanders and Bishops were too high to reach, let alone the Legion Commander and Presiding Judge.

“I totally have no idea how much longer we have to wait here. How about us… Um? Someone is coming. Is it from any guild?”

A player couldn’t wait to start off when he looked to a direction and said in confusion. Someone walked to the rear of the Coalition Headquarters where they stayed. The comer concealed his character name but obviously, he was a player.

“I don’t think so. All the guilds are here. Wait! Is he from the Antiquity?”

A player felt confused, suddenly thought of something and said. This location was where the president something of the guilds stayed by default. Ordinary unspecified characters didn’t have enough fame points to get them into the military matrixes. The NPCs wouldn’t allow that to happen. Only the presidents of the guilds who had the right over a whole guild of resources could acquire so many fame points.

Therefore, when they saw a player coming, they instantly thought of him as a president of some guild who arrived late. And the only one guild that didn’t show up by far was exactly the mysterious Antiquity Guild.

“The player is not from Antiquity Guild. His profession is not a swordsman. There is only one profession, swordsman in the Antiquity Guild. This guy is holding a staff so he must be either a sage or a priest.”

Someone refuted right away. Various guilds of course investigated this mysterious emerging power—Antiquity Guild, but they found very little information. Currently, they only knew that all the players of the Guild were all swordsmen.

“Wait. Why do I feel him a bit familiar? He looks like Master Healer?”

Suddenly War Spirit Sky said with confusion. Looking at the player approaching, he felt even more dubious.

“He does seem to be Master Healer.”

The people instantly turned around to look over. One of them was familiar with Xiao Feng and then further confirmed.

It was Xiao Feng who arrived here. He was wearing a different fashionable suit. Maybe ordinary players couldn’t recognize him, but these presidents of guilds could certainly recognize him.

As Xiao Feng was walking near, all the people recognized his identity. Instantly they responded in different ways. For example, Doomsday God looked bitterly annoyed, Brother Nine of Glory put on a gloomy look, War Spirit Sky appeared delighted and Liu Qiangwei blinked her eyes.

“Master Healer, are you also here to carry out the quest of battlefield?”

War Spirit Sky went forward first. It was not strange that Master Healer could enter the center of the array. Anyone who took a look at the fame list would understand why. Master Healer still had the highest fame point and no one could surpass him. As to the reason why Master Healer showed up here, they could only think of doing the quest of battlefield.

“Yes…” Xiao Feng just wanted to greet but he was interrupted before he finished his sentence. The Legion Commander Tiger and the Presiding Judge Kilo both rushed over with their players.

The presidents of the guilds were also looking at these powerful NPC big shots rushing towards them and felt quite shocked. They didn’t know what had happened. Did they do anything that pissed these big shots off?

However, they knew they were wrong at once, because these big shots didn’t pay any attention to them. Instead, the big shots directly came to the front of Xiao Feng.

“Commander in Chief! You are finally here!”

“Lord Archbishop, please give the order! The Coalition has been ready!”

The Imperial Third Legion Commander, Tiger and the Third Presiding Judge of Light Temple, Kilo both gathered around Xiao Feng, saying to Xiao Feng with great respect.

“Start off then. Charge forward fully ahead towards the City of Gloom at the center of Dark Land.”

Only judging from the surrounding millions of players’ matrixes, Xiao Feng knew how many players were here for the quest of the battlefield. There was no need to care about the creeps on the way. They just needed to head towards the base camp directly.

“Yes, sir!”

The Legion Commander Tiger and Presiding Judge took the order and left. Bishop Kaiser, the Episcopate Commander and Captain Bolton, one of Xiao Feng’s connections, just followed after Xiao Feng.

“Hey, Archbishop, I’ve got Captain Bolton here for you.” Bishop Kaiser was an old man but he still laughed shamelessly and claimed credit to Xiao Feng.

“Thank you for your care. I must perform well.” Captain Bolton smiled at Xiao Feng honestly with embarrassment.

“Enough. Just take action. Bishop Kaiser, lead the Episcopate to dispel the Mist of War, and Bolton, you just protect me and pay attention to my HP.”

Without any delay, Xiao Feng said directly. He asked Captain Bolton to come here to serve as his bodyguard. Goddess of Light was right. With the help of Xiaobai, Xiao Feng was the strongest DPS player to cope with the Dark Legion but as to those super bosses, Xiao Feng was still too weak.
