The Almighty Ring

After the dragon was gone, Jiang Fei began to scout the area. To be honest, the place was a treasure trove. Not only was it a sight to behold, the area was also literally covered by herbs. Closer to the hills, there were plenty of minerals to be harvested! Although the hills were not huge, it was enough to fully fund a mid-sized guild!

“What a waste!” said Jiang Fei regretfully. He was not a gatherer class player. There were so many resources around the area that he could not harvest. The area was located very close to the territory of the Light Faction. Even when players could start to gather here, Jiang Fei’s guild still could not come close to this territory!

“Oh well, nothing I can do about it,” Jiang Fei said to himself. He then proceeded with his quest and came down the hill.

Moonlight Church was located not too far away from where he was. Even though Jiang Fei could not see much further, he could at least still see the silhouette of the town.

“Bella, do your thing!” said Jiang Fei with a large smile.

“Okay!” Isabella nodded and did a hand sign that conjured a large shadow bubble that enveloped the both of them.

Both Jiang Fei and Isabella immediately turned invisible. If one were to stand 5 meters away, they could still make out something since the distortion of light could be seen. Any further and one could not see them at all. That was the Level 60 skill that granted players with Invisibility.

“Let’s go!”

After making sure that both of them were invisible, they proceeded toward the town swiftly. Soon enough, they reached the first defense tower. Jiang Fei carefully examined the tower’s properties.

Small Scout Tower (Defense Building, Small Size)

Health Points: 200,000,000

Attack Power: 1,000,000

Skills: Multi-Target Balista, Heavy Ballista

Multi-Target Ballista: Attacks 10 targets simultaneously. Attacks three times in 1 second. Attack Range: 5 meters.

Heavy Ballista: Attacks one target, 1,000% attack power and attack range.

Note: The Small Scout Tower is a Defensive Building. All non-siege weapons will deal 50% less damage.

“Thank god we’re only infiltrating this town! If we had to invade this town, there would be countless casualties without a proper siege weapon!” said Jiang Fei to himself.

One million attack power was not something a player or NPC could handle. One attack would instantly kill any living being! Multi-Attack Ballista was a real killing machine. With such fast attack speed, a single tower could eliminate an entire army before they could even cause any significant damage to the tower! Each of the towers was so strong that they had god-like existence! How was that a “small” scout tower?!

After getting past the tower, Jiang Fei and Isabella stopped to scout the surroundings.

After one hour, Jiang Fei had roughly understood the area he was in. In each tower, there would be four Level 70 Advanced Elite guards. Every half an hour, there would be NPC guards patrolling all four towers. If Jiang Fei wanted to detonate all the bombs safely, he needed to get the timing right and make sure he did it within 30 minutes before the next patrol arrived.

After the towers, Jiang Fei remained passive and moved deeper into the town. He needed to destroy not only the towers but the Teleportation Circles as well.

Both the Teleportation Circles were guarded by four Advanced Elite Level 70 guards as well as two Advanced Elite magicians.

The handy little bomb that he had could easily destroy the buildings but he needed to make sure that no one would destroy it within 30 seconds or the bombs would be disarmed.

“Right. The window of opportunity is only less than 30 minutes. We need to make sure that all of the bombs are set in place within that time!” said Jiang Fei.

The four Scout Towers were easier to deal with since they were all situated at the corners of the town. There would not be anyone disturbing him. However, the two Teleportation Circles were harder to destroy. One was located at the South Gate and the other was at the entrance of the church. If he carelessly made his move, someone would quickly notice and the reinforcements from the Light Faction would arrive quickly.

“We can quietly destroy the Scout Towers. But it looks like we might have to brute force our way to destroy the Teleportation Circles!”

“Anything you say,” said Isabella with a smile.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Since Isabella had nothing in mind, Jiang Fei did not continue to think of another way. Both of them then moved toward the nearest Scout Tower. He waited there for a bit until the patrol team had left. It was his chance. Even though he had less than 30 minutes, dealing with all four of the Scout Towers would not be hard.

With Invisibility on them, sneaking past the guards was easy.

Lifesteal Demon Morph was activated and Jiang Fei did not waste any time to attack the four guards. Isabella used Demon Flame Infusion and attacked together.

Jiang Fei and Isabella were at a disadvantage since their levels were too low. However, that did not stop them from actually killing the enemy.

The 50% attack speed increase was truly beneficial for Jiang Fei since he needed speed in order to stack Ruthless Barrage as fast as possible. After ten stacks, Jiang Fei’s original 20,000 attack power was suppressed to only around 6,000. Luckily, with his increased attack speed and Isabella’s combined attack, his DPS was able to reach more than 15,000. In less than half a minute, Jiang Fei was able to kill all of the Level 70 Advanced Elite guards with no more than 500,000 health points.

Ding! You have killed a Light Faction Member! Obtained 150,000 Experience Points, 300 Honor Points, 50 silver coins!

Ding! You have killed a Light Faction Member! Obtained 150,000 Experience Points, 300 Honor Points, 50 silver coins!

After all four guards had died, Jiang Fei realized that the guards had additional Honor Points instead of just Experience Points. He then realized that killing anyone from the Light Faction was beneficial to him since he was part of the Dark Faction.
