Chapter 265 - Big Dorky Liu Chai
Chapter 265: Big Dorky Liu Chai
After preparing all the resources, Yue Yao immediately assigned his subordinates to form a convoy of a hundred soldiers to help deliver the load.
It was not that he didn’t want to bring more people with him.
This decision was made after considering the fact that if he were to do so, it would be a pain in the neck for him to explain, owing to the reason that the Earth Breaking Clan of the Barren Grassland might come back at anytime. After all, judging from Lie Shan’s temper, he would definitely beat the shit out of him if he learned of his intention to take over Beiqi.
Besides, the road to the Mansion of the Dead was perfectly safe and no one in the Land of the Nine Luminaries would dare rob them anyway. Moreover, there were no other forces around since the Burial Grounds in front of the Mansion of the Dead had long been destroyed.
Nonetheless, since this was the first batch of resources that he was going to send, Yue Yao decided to quietly make an investigation before deciding the subsequent amount of resources.
Yue Yao departed together with the convoy after everything was all set.
Yue Yao disguised himself by restraining his imposing manner and shrinking to a smaller body size. He also put on the apparel of the guards to make himself more unspectacular.
One and a half days later, in the direction of Beiqi, the convoy led by the messenger of Yue Yao had arrived at the Mansion of the Dead.
Seeing that the players were already acquainted with the identity of the messenger of Yue Yao, they did not stop him and straight away let them enter the Mansion of the Dead.
Meanwhile, Liu Chai and the others were waiting and ready to see what resources they would receive. The convoy was greeted warmly once they entered the city.
“Lord of the Mansion of the Dead, by good luck I was able to accomplish the mission and send you the resources that we’ve promised!” said the messenger as he turned over to jump off the back of the Chaos Earth Dragon, giving a raised fist salute to Liu Chai.
“Haha, you’re being too modest. With the support of your resources, all the other forces are certainly no match for us. You can then straight away take control over Beiqi,” Liu Chai smiled as he responded.
Yue Yao, who was standing in the team, curled his lips upon hearing that, apparently pleased with Liu Chai’s attitude.
However, he was still planning to carry out a little investigation first.
What he didn’t know was that the players around him were scanning through everyone in the convoy by using their data analyzation menu. Soon, a photo was sent to the chat channel.
Liu_Xiao_Wei: “Guys, look who I found (laughing emoji)!”
[Yue Yao (Fledging Ghost King)]:
Character Details: One of the rulers of the Land othe Nine Luminaries, the second child among the nine brothers, owns an army with 2.3 million soldiers.
Character Status: State of disguise, peak
Although Yue Yao disguised himself very well and there was almost no crack of evidence, the players could instantly penetrate his disguise.
“Hahaha, a boss is hiding here, is he playing dumb to take advantage of us (laughing emoji)!”
“Guys, don’t blow it, just let him disguise himself and we’ll see who is the first to be stressed out then… (laughing emoji)”
“Undercover? Spy? (laughing emoji)”
“This Yue Yao, the second brother, is definitely coming here to figure the ins and outs of the matters in Beiqi. Director, let’s cut to the chase and give me an extra drumstick today, I’m going to put on a good show (laughing emoji)!”
Glancing through the comments in the chat, Liu Chai did not set his eyes on Yue Yao directly, who was standing among the convoy. Instead, he smiled and had an exchange of greetings with the messenger. Then, he waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to unload all the resources they brought.
They had divided up this batch of resources in advance, so basically every guild would be able to get a share of it. At the same time, 20 percent of the resources would be delivered to the Rock Ghost King according to their agreement.
What they had to do now was to prove their sincerity once again by putting on a good show to get the rest of the supply deliveries.
Earlier on, Yin Xiaoqi had opened a post on the forum and explained the next script to the players.
This time, not only did the players have to play along, but they also had to play it big for the sake of defrauding and to get a large number of resources. They needed to make preparation to invade the Land of the Nine Luminaries in the future.
“Guards! Serve tea for the messenger!” Liu Chai said with a wave of his hand after leading him into His Excellency’s palace in the Mansion of the Dead.
The players standing by the palace were carefully selected and skilled actors, bestirring themselves at his command, looking as though Liu Chai was originally the owner of the Mansion of the Dead. No mistakes could arise.
Thereafter, Liu Chai began to confer with the messenger of Yue Yao his opinion about the battles with each and every force in the area.
Liu Chai was well aware of the type of character he ought to act as, thus portraying himself as an extremely arrogant man during their conversation with a combat plan full of loopholes.
Apart from doing it for the sake of the messenger, he was mainly putting on the show for Yue Yao.
Yue Yao was silently observing, feeling rather pleased with Liu Chai’s behavior.
Liu Chai is arrogant yet obtuse, obviously nothing but a boorish fellow. In spite of that, this is what I need the most as such a person can be easily driven.
Right at this moment, Gu Yu entered the Great Hall and gave a raised fist salute to Liu Chai.
“Clan leader, the resources are fully dispatched, we are ready to make war at any time!”
Upon hearing that, Liu Chai once again expressed his boorish manner by pounding heavily on the table and uttered, “Great! Since the messenger is here, let’s show our sincerity. This time we’ll make war with the Hydra King and get revenge on him for daring to provoke me a few days ago!”
“Hold on, Lord of the Mansion of the Dead, it’s unfavorable for you to make enemies everywhere. Besides, the battle with the Rock Ghost King remains unsettled…”
Liu Chai waved his hand before the messenger could finish his words.
“I’ll take over the North Rocks sooner or later. Messenger, you’ve no idea that the Hydra King actually came to provoke me with his soldiers a few days ago. If it wasn’t because I promised you that I won’t dispatch my troops before receiving the resources, I definitely would’ve made a life-and-death struggle with them then and there! Now that I’ve received your resources, the Hydra King is surely no match for my clan!”
As his words settled, Liu Chai shouted his command at Gu Yu, “Get the army ready for battle, we’ll dispatch troops to the Ascension Zone and cut off the head of the bald Hydra King!”
Yue Yao, who was hiding among the convoy, perspired out of shame in his heart as he listened to Liu Chai’s impetuous statement. Liu Chai’s dorky character left him with no words.
Right now, Yue Yao had accepted most parts of the description by the nine messengers when they returned to Nine Yao.
In his opinion, this battle was just in time for him to look into their strengths.
After two hours of preparation, the Army of the Player Clan straight away marched toward the Ascension Zone. In the meantime, the convoy followed behind them under the lead of the messenger.
As they reached the Ascension Zone, the Hydra King’s Army of Demonic Snakes was ready in a battle array, waiting for their arrival.
“Bald Hydra King, how dare you provoke me with your army! I’m going to make you pay for it now!” Liu Chai looked at Hydra King from a distance and shouted furiously, forcing his way through the crowd and standing right in front of his army.
Blue veins stood out on the Hydra King’s temples upon hearing Liu Chai calling him bald. He was not faking it, but actually really annoyed.
“You want to die? Just as you wish!” following Hydra’s growling, the bed of Demonic Snakes held up their bodies and hissed at the army of players.
“Kill!”
Without further ado, the war broke out in an instant this time.
The Disaster Army began its performance once more.
Even though the players were using their own equipment, some of the players were actually armed with the equipment taken from the resources delivered by Yue Yao’s convoy, which meant they must not do it as badly as their last act.
They had conferred with the Hydra King ahead of time.
Yet, the Hydra King paid no heed to that. As he said, his Army of Demonic Snakes had a strong reproductive ability and thus it was not a problem at all for him to lose some snakes.
In spite of that, more than half of the overall deaths were those of the players as they didn’t mean to overdo it.
The acting was as real as it could be since the players were giving their lives to put on the show.
In the overall condition of the continuing battle, the players still had the upper hand during the battle. Liu Chai’s face was taken over by an arrogant expression at the sight of this.
Of course, Yue Yao caught sight of everything, he couldn’t help but nod his head.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have no choice but to believe that the Lord of the Mansion of the Dead is truly arrogant and foolish.
At the same time, Yue Yao was thrilled to see the players gaining an upper hand in the battle. Ultimately, they were all paving the way for him to be the future king.
Seeing the players’ growing advantage, Liu Chai retreated to the messenger.
“Messenger, what do you think? My clan is performing quite well after getting your resources, right?”
The messenger of Yue Yao was blushing with shame. Just as he wanted to speak, a roar could be heard from the northwest.
“Bald Hydra King, I, the Rock Ghost King, have come to your rescue… let’s kill the Player Clan!”
Following the roar was a big army of Tree Demons appearing from afar, coming in bushes and stretching for miles.
The Hydra King bared his fangs in an instant the moment he heard the Rock Ghost King shouting.
Who the hell gives you guys the permission to give me a nickname!? And it’s such an awful name!
Yue Yao looked dignified upon seeing the Rock Ghost King. He turned to look at Liu Chai.
However, there was no trace of panic on Liu Chai’s face as he pointed at the Army of Tree Demons with the longsword in his hand.
“Just in time… warriors of my clan, let’s kill all of them!”
Yue Yao was secretly howling in his heart upon hearing that.
Are you a fucking pig!? It’s so obvious that you can’t fight against them! Retreat! You pig!
