Chapter 79: The Saintess NPC has been abducted by Netherworld!
As for those unspecialized players quitting, it did not make Peerless Pride angry at all. Instead, he was thanking Li Cheng in his heart for helping him get rid of the dross.
He knew that ordinary players would always act based on benefits. If Peerless Pride could not give them any benefits, they would naturally leave, so it did not affect him at all. However, at this moment, a few messages popped up once again.
“Ding, dong, Pride Doesn’t Listen has exited Pride’s core elite group!
“Ding, dong, Pride’s Little Luo has exited Pride’s core elite group!
“Ding, dong, Pride’s Third Brother has exited Pride’s core elite group!”
The players whose IDs started with ‘Pride’ were naturally the Prideful Guild’s core players. However, these core players could no longer resist the temptation this time. Li Cheng only stated that Peerless Prideful was not allowed to participate, so they could completely withdraw from the Prideful Guild to receive the quest.
As the core elites of the Prideful Guild, their experience in playing online games was naturally incomparably rich. They did not need to think too hard to figure out how valuable the Holy War buff that Li Cheng had activated was!
Hearing the news, Peerless Prideful was so angry that he almost vomited blood. It was fine if the unspecialized players had withdrawn, it was not a big deal. However, the withdrawal of the core players was akin to cutting off his flesh. He had spent some resources and money on those people, but they left just like that…
“Netherworld, just you wait! Our Prideful Guild’s not that easy to bully. Sooner or later, you’ll have to pay the price for this!” Peerless Prideful’s face was as dark as steel as he gnashed his teeth.
…
Li Cheng naturally did not care about what actions Peerless Prideful would take. It could be said that he did not care about him at all. At this time, he had already arrived at the City of Light’s barracks.
The total number of troops he exchanged for was 12 million. He could also recruit one million for free, so in total, that was 13 million troops. With such a scale, it would take a certain amount of time to gather.
In the military camp, Li Cheng saw a figure that surprised him. Asilia was wearing a tight-fitting white dress. In her hand was a magic staff that emitted a gentle glow. She could be considered an acquaintance. Li Cheng stepped forward and asked, “Miss Saintess, what are you doing?”
Asilia smiled and replied, “I want to participate in this Holy War, Earl Netherworld.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng was slightly surprised. He thought that he had heard wrong and could not help but ask again, “Are you sure?”
In the Church of Light, the archbishop and Saintess generally did not participate in military operations. They were mainly responsible for preaching and gathering faith.
Asilia nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden!”
As for whether Asilia would be a burden, Li Cheng was not worried at all. Although this Saintess in front of him was only 16 years old, her ability was still extremely abnormal. As a saintess, her healing skills could be said to be superb.
Li Cheng remembered that in his previous life, Asilia had the feat of bringing tens of millions of people back to life. What Li Cheng could not understand was why Asilia wanted to participate in the war. However, if she wanted to go, Li Cheng would not refuse, so he simply nodded at her request.
Seeing that Li Cheng had agreed, Asilia heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ear.
“Ding, dong! You’ve temporarily obtained the S-class Hero, Saintess Asilia!
“Region announcement. Saintess Asilia has temporarily joined player Netherworld’s territory. Other players will not be able to exchange for goods for the time being. Please, wait patiently…”
This announcement rang in the ears of the players three times. Upon hearing this notification, all the players were stunned.
With her outstanding looks and her pure and simple temperament, Asilia had long captured the hearts of the players. On the official forums, Asilia was rated as the most beautiful NPC lady. However, now that the lady had been kidnapped by Netherworld, the players immediately wailed in grief.
[F*ck, Netherworld you old thief, give me back my Saintess!]
[Wu Wu Wu, the Goddess in my heart, why have you joined someone else’s territory?]
[D*mn it, Netherworld has snatched my Saintess away, that’s mine!!]
[Saintess, that’s my dream! Why must it be Netherworld’s territory, could it be that I’m not handsome enough?]
[Don’t you have any shame? Miss Asilia only joined Netherworld’s territory temporarily. If she really wanted to join a territory, she’d be a powerhouse like the big boss Netherworld!]
[My urine’s a little yellow. Let me wake them up!]
[Everyone, don’t be anxious. Didn’t you hear the system say that it’s only temporary?]
After another 10 minutes, all the troops had gathered. A total of more than 10 million troops were standing there. It looked quite spectacular!
In fact, their composition could be considered very mixed. There were level three low-level warriors, level nine high-level paladins, ordinary close-combat soldiers, front row meat shield soldiers, and flying Griffin Knights.
However, compared to ordinary player teams, they were definitely much stronger. Seeing that the troops had gathered, Li Cheng did not say anything else. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go!”
Considering the overall speed of the troops, Li Cheng did not transform into a Dragon Knight, so Sylvia naturally did not transform into a dragon. An hour later, they could already see his territory.
“This is…” Asilia looked at Li Cheng’s territory and was immediately shocked. The city walls came from the Church of Light so she was very familiar with it. However, those defense towers were too ridiculous.
Even the City of Light only had more than 20 Legendary defense towers. Just the daily consumption of these defense towers made Asilia feel like she was burning money. How much did Li Cheng have?
Was this really something that a human could do? Asilia almost swore. A mere Lord of an Otherworld, and his territory’s defense was so much stronger than the City of Light?
Of course, it was only a single Legendary defense tower, but that was too shocking for the Saintess!
Li Cheng ignored Asilia and led his troops to Pearl. “I’ll leave these troops to you.”
Pearl was stunned. She could not believe what she heard. “All these troops will be led by me?”
This was not just a few units, but 13 million! Was her Lord really not joking with her anymore?
“That’s right, it’s all yours. You don’t need to bring your trash troops.” Li Cheng said casually, not taking it seriously at all.
After making sure that she did not hear wrongly, Pearl nodded solemnly. She understood that this was Li Cheng’s test for her.
In fact, that was indeed the case. Although she was a famous player in her previous life and was ranked among the best in the Divine Dragon Alliance, Li Cheng still did not have a clear understanding of her abilities. This time, he would see for himself just how good her ability was.
