Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Early Preparation
“Our goal is to become True God, but we’re not gods yet, so we must have a clear understanding of ourselves!” A handsome man wearing leather armor and carrying a giant longbow stood up and said, “Our current strength is indeed inferior to that of the City of Hope. That’s a fact!”
“The God of Hunting is right!” Zeus roared, “That’s the truth! We’re constantly failing because our strength is weak!”
The other core members fell silent, their heads slightly lowered, some of them disheartened;
Zeus glanced around and a sneer flashed across his lips;
“Being weak now doesn’t mean we’ll always be weak!” Zeus said, “Now is a perfect opportunity. If the City of Hope fails in building their city, they will be ruined, and from then on, the Doomsday City will only hold us and the Pantheon in high esteem!”
Zeus’s words slightly boosted everyone’s confidence.
” From what we’ve learned, the city-building mission is indeed challenging, but…” A short, near-transparent man hesitated, “But what can we do to make their city-building mission fail?”
“It’s simple, we’ll borrow power!” Zeus slowly walked toward the short man, a smile on his face, and said to him, “God of Thieves, I need you to stay in the City of Hope’s territory 24 hours a day starting today, gathering information! You’re invisible to other players, and I need you to find out everything about the city-building mission from them! What’s the specific content of the mission, how far along are they, what plans do they have, and so on, every single detail!”
God of Thieves nodded, as it was not a complicated task for him. He had already gained a heightened stealth skill from a mission and upgraded it to the max level, which resulted in a mutation, giving him incredible concealment effects. Almost no one could detect him as long as he didn’t reveal himself;
Moreover, there were very few methods available to counter a thief’s Stealth skill now, and all detection skills had short durations and long cooldown times. Ordinary players wouldn’t use them carelessly in their free time.
Also, the God of Thieves had infiltrated the City of Hope Alliance’s territory more than once without being discovered. This time, he would just have to stay a bit longer;
“Leader…” The God of Thieves began to speak.
“Call me God King!” Zeus yelled;
God of Thieves shuddered and quickly corrected himself, “God King, God King… ”
“What’s the matter?” Zeus asked with a cold snort.
“I… I uncovered some information earlier that the City of Hope Alliance’s city-building mission seems to have several stages with the last being a monster siege. A large number of monsters will attack the city they’ve built…” God of Thieves said.
“Humph, I already knew that. Everything they’re doing now is in preparation for the final monster siege!” Zeus’s mouth was adorned with a sinister grin as he said, “So when I say we’ll borrow power, it means using the strength of these monsters to completely destroy the City of Hope. At that time, with a little push from us, we will not only destroy the City of Hope Alliance at minimal cost, but also plunder a massive amount of resources from them!”
Ever since the City of Hope Alliance obtained all the resources in the Valley of the Undead, their strength had greatly increased, and various buildings were being developed continuously.
Players who had been to the Valley of the Undead had previously showcased resources they had obtained, making others envious and drooling. However, only a small portion of the Valley’s resources circulated among Doomsday City’s players, with the majority being transported through the City of Hope Alliance’s Transmission Array to the City of Sin and City of Hymns to be sold at a better price;
This had led many Doomsday City players to covet the resources obtained by the City of Hope Alliance;
Meanwhile, Song Jian continued to farm BOSSes in the resort, at first worried that players from the Pantheon would come and mess with him, but later, seeing no one coming, he began to lure two or three BOSSes at a time to kill. The first two forms of the Ten Thousand Facets Sword Technique were AoE abilities, so the more monsters, the better the effect. Although the effects on BOSSes weren’t as good as with the beetles, they didn’t decrease his efficiency in killing them, and soon Song Jian had to go back to clean up his inventory again.
Time flew, and the City of Hope had begun constructing its second Magic Crystal Railgun. Song Jian had finally finished his tedious days of farming materials and returned to the City of Hope Alliance to set up sword formations in various places.
Exploration Sword Formation, Attack Sword Formation, Defense Sword Formation, each sword formation used dozens, even hundreds of Sword Stones. Song Jian ingeniously linked all the sword formations together so that when they were activated, they could coordinate with each other. Although the effect couldn’t reach that of the Qingyun Sword Array, monsters from events like the creation of safehouses couldn’t even reach the walls of the City of Hope.
Song Jian knew that the scale of the final monster siege in this city-building mission would definitely be more significant than the previous safehouse event. Previously, only monsters from the surroundings were attracted, but this time, monsters from outside Doomsday City might appear!
“Boss, the Magic Crystal Railgun at the north gate is complete,” Wang Qi approached Song Jian and asked. “Do you want to check it out?”
“It’s already built?” Song Jian’s face showed a satisfied smile. The Magic Crystal Railgun was a powerful weapon, just one of which would mean he’d no longer need to worry about monsters above Lord-level appearing in the north direction.
“Let’s go take a look!” Song Jian laughed.
The pair quickly arrived at the north wall of the Alliance’s territory. Standing on the five or six-meter-high wall, they looked out at the vast area still belonging to the City of Hope Alliance. However, due to the limited number of players, they couldn’t protect the entire territory, so they had to abandon it.
But on this piece of land, countless types of traps and mechanisms were laid out, and powerful landmines were buried. Even Song Jian himself wasn’t confident that he could make it out of the area;
“Is this the Magic Crystal Railgun?” Song Jian looked at a massive fortress on the north wall, about as tall as a six-story building, and exclaimed!
“Yes, this is the Magic Crystal Railgun, and it’s extremely powerful!” Wang Qi excitedly said, “Boss, take a look at the gorge in front of us. It’s the result of our test shot after construction was completed. With just one shot, a 33-story building was turned into ruins…”
