Chapter 547: Appearance of God of War
Dark Emperor thought for a moment and agreed, “Alright!” He then changed into a worried tone and said, “Brother, are you in some trouble?”
“No!” replied the voice from the other side of the communication device.
Dark Emperor could even hear Lin Jie’s panting voice after that “no”, which made it obvious that Lin Jie was fuming in rage, but he still spoke as if nothing had happened to him.
Lin Jie spoke again. “The slaves you give me, their grades must be high!”
Dark Emperor replied considerately, “I understand. Brother, I suppose you’re urgently in need of powerful slaves, right? Don’t worry, this batch of slaves I chose for you are all captives from the battlefield. They are all Warrior slaves that had leveled up their jobs.”
“Good, good, very good! Since it was so, I will take out all of the most valued Dark Gold items from the guild inventory. How long do you need to prepare? The shortest! Give them to me in the shortest possible time!” The voice on the other side became much more anxious.
“One day!” said Dark Emperor.
“Tomorrow, the city gate, do the trade!” After finishing, the communication device on the other side had hung up.
Dark Emperor tried calling Lin Jie again, but it revealed that the other side was temporarily unable to answer the call. That meant, either that Lin Jie had returned to the Guild map, or he had taken off the Warlord Token. According to Dark Emperor’s conjecture, Lin Jie had lost a battle, so he needed to increase the transaction amount.
“Looks like the battles at the Guild occur frequently. In the end, it can’t be compared to the system of our Tribe. Since it’s like this...” Dark Emperor smirked and temporarily pulled back his hand, which was stretched towards Fallen. He would finish such a huge transaction first, then destroy the divine equipment. Afterward, he would head to the front lines on the battlefield with the rewards from the God of War’s trial.
That day passed while two clever men, each with their own schemes, planned what was going to happen subsequently.
The following day...
Lin Jie donned his black cloak and walked into the Royal Capital of Darkness slowly. Just as he reached the entrance, Dark Craze, who had been waiting for a long time at the gate, immediately noticed Lin Jie and forced a smile as he went to welcome him. He said in a low voice, “Brother, I apologize for my rudeness the last time, follow me.”
Lin Jie’s voice sounded a little impatient as he asked, “Have the 3,000 slaves been prepared? I’ve brought the best items from the inventory.”
“Don’t worry. Our Blood-Sucking guild is the best guild in the Royal Capital of Darkness. Which other guilds would be more trustworthy than us?” replied Dark Craze with a smile as he guided Lin Jie to the space near the south gate. It was the parade ground of the Royal Capital of Darkness, and already 300 players were standing there with Dark Emperor leading them!
“Brother, we meet again.” Dark Emperor welcomed Lin Jie and said, “Sorry, I have overestimated my strength. It was a little too difficult to gather 3,000 strong slaves...”
Lin Jie’s face turned cold. “Guild leader, what do you mean by this?”
“I tried my best and only gathered 1,784 slaves. They have all leveled up their jobs. However, I can also guess that there are battles happening on your side, so...” Dark Emperor waved his hand and shouted, “Brothers, let them out!”
“Yes!”
The 300 players present shouted together at the same time and summoned all the slaves hidden within their Follower Spaces. Instantly, the parade ground was filled with slaves! These slaves were all Orcs and Minotaurs. From their physiques, one could tell they were strong, while their powerful exposed muscles were enough to terrify others. The slaves’ murderous eyes revealed that they were not ordinary.
Lin Jie was stunned.
Dark Emperor was satisfied with Lin Jie’s reaction. After the consecutive losses, he was under the impression that Lin Jie would long for a straw to clutch at with all his strength.
He held Lin Jie’s shoulders and said, “Brother, these are all slaves from the elite team members of out Blood-Sucking guild. Since I gave my promise, I won’t go back on my words, so I’ll sell all these slaves to you! However, we have spent too many resources on these slaves, so I hope you will return them to us after using them once. I will charge them as a batch of robust but not strengthened slaves for you.”
What Dark Emperor said not only showed the generosity of a major guild’s leader, but it also hid a trace of reluctance as if he had paid a huge price. His acting was simply remarkable and almost seemed true to life.
Lin Jie was “moved” as he said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely return them. Let’s cut to the chase and immediately make the trade. Guild leader, please ask them to terminate the slave contracts and transport the slaves to the boundary between camps. Once we are there, I will hand over the items to you.”
Dark Emperor’s eyes gleamed—the person in front of him was really cautious! However, on second thought, it was natural as no matter who, they would do the same if they had brought most of their guild’s items to trade. Instead, it would be strange if he had directly agreed to make the trade. Dark Emperor smiled and nodded in agreement. Instantly, the huge army of slaves advanced!
Of course, Dark Emperor did not directly terminate the slaves’ contracts.
The team gradually headed towards the boundary of camps at the Bloodstain Wasteland.
“F*ck, there are so many slaves!”
“These are all slaves that have leveled up their jobs. Although their strength can not be compared to those followers, with such a huge number, they make a strong army!”
“Bullsh*t, these are all slaves from Blood Sucking’s elite members. The things they’ve eaten are even better than ours, and their attributes are extraordinary!”
“Move away, move away. If you get to close and get killed from angering them, you can only swallow a bitter pill in silence.”
After three hours, the team reached the boundary of camps.
Dark Emperor made a gesture, and everyone stopped. He then turned his head to face Lin Jie and used the human language to speak. “Brother, we’ve reached the place. Although I trust you, I still hope to take a look at the quality of the items.”
“I- I think you should first terminate the slaves’ contracts,” replied Lin Jie carefully as he grabbed a few packages in his hand. “These are the special items produced in Guild, the Space Package. After you terminate the contract, I will give them to you.”
The deal had reached such a point, equal to both sides showing their products.
Dark Emperor took a look at the rune mark on the Space Package—it seemed to be a rune lock.
The rune lock was not exclusive to NPCs, and players could use them too. The condition to unlock it was not different from the NPCs, but it would be more precise. For example, Lin Jie set the Strength stats to 172 points to be able to unlock the Space Package. Thus normal people would not be able to guess it at all.
Dark Emperor frowned. “Terminate the contracts!”
Instantly, lights from terminating the contract shone as all slaves had been freed.
Lin Jie nodded and gave the Space Package to Dark Emperor. He said, “The unlocking condition is for one’s Strength to reach 1,000 points.”
“Huh?” Dark Emperor widened his eyes. “1,000 points? Are you kidding me?”
“Hahahahaha, he is toying with you!” At that moment, a hearty peal of laughter could be heard from the sky.
“Not good!” Dark Emperor’s pupils constricted as he shouted, “Quickly, form the contracts!”
The slaves’ contract termination only needed 1 second, but to form a contract needed above 10 seconds. Therefore, even though everyone started to form a new contract, it was already too late! Under the yellow sand scattered around, thousands of figures had actually appeared in the surrounding! Their items were not counted as the best ones, and their physical capabilities could not be compared to the team led by Dark Emperor, but they had the numbers!
The one leading them was Tenka Fubu.
“Brothers, we, Scarlet Mercenary, have been oppressed for so long, and now is the time for revenge! Kill!” Tenka Fubu shouted, “Don’t harm the slaves. Those are the loots for our comrades.”
“Hahaha, I see now. You hooked up with the Scarlet Mercenary long ago!” Dark Emperor laughed loudly. “However, do you think I’ll be defeated so easily? Truth be told, I had not planned to trade with you from the start. Bandit team, come out! Use Undead Chain to tie up this bast*rd! I am going to keep him captive until he drops all the items!”
The silt land exploded, and 50+ Bandits, who had concealed themselves beforehand, appeared! These Bandits instantly surrounded Lin Jie. The Scarlet Mercenary players were simply too far, so they were unable to help Lin Jie. Graceful Snake, who was closest to Lin Jie, was about to rush towards him, but she was knocked back by Dark Emperor with one slash.
“Trash, do you think you can overthrow us, Blood-Sucking, by just working with a Guild player of unknown origins? It’s simply a joke!” shouted Dark Emperor. He threw his bone broadsword straight towards Graceful Snake—it was the skill [Explosive Throw].
At this moment, behind Dark Emperor, sounds of wails could be heard. When he turned back, Dark Emperor was completely stunned!
There were no traces of the Bandit team in front of him anymore! The only thing left was a ground of corpses! That Guild player held a radiant Blade Aura, and the surrounding Blade Auras had yet to dissipate as they continued spreading endlessly!
Graceful Snake was completely stunned as she had seen what happened clearly. Just when all the Bandits charged towards Lin Jie and were about to control him, Lin Jie had made one movement—pull his sword out! The instant he unsheathed his sword, a bright and sharp Blade Aura was released, tore through the air, and sliced towards the waists of the Bandits. In the next instant, these Bandits were all chopped into two!
Nukitsuke!
That was Nukitsuke’s first appearance—its effect was extremely astonishing!
When Dark Emperor came to his senses, Lin Jie’s Broken Blade was already pointing at his back.
“Now, who is the prisoner that is going to be held captive?” asked Lin Jie coldly. A Blade Aura was released from the tip of Broken Blade and devoured Dark Emperor.
“Good, very good!” shouted Dark Emperor hysterically. “A well-planned scheme! So you have been tricking me from the start. Your behavior step by step made me believe that you were a desperate gambler making his last bet so I could believe you. Who would have thought that you could communicate with Tribe players and ambush me!?”
At that moment, the situation on the battlefield was already close to being one-sided!
All the battling powers that Scarlet Mercenary had developed through staying low were already gathered to ambush Dark Emperor’s elite team. There was no suspense in this battle at all!
“Do you think you can kill me?” Dark Emperor smiled coldly as he spoke. “You... have you seen the power of a god?”
As he spoke, Dark Emperor actually took out a staff which shone brightly in black light as if it was created using dark crystals. The instant the staff appeared, the light in the surroundings was actually devoured. It was as if between the sky and earth, only this staff existed!
It was the divine equipment, Fallen!
Just like the Tower of Light in the City of Light, Fallen was the most important treasure of the Royal Capital of Darkness! If Dark Emperor had not accepted the God of War’s trial mission, he would not have the qualifications even to touch it.
“God of War, come out! Help me kill all these pieces of trash!” shouted Dark Emperor as he pierced his bone broadsword into the divine equipment vigorously. That weapon was devoured completely by the divine equipment, but there was a small change to the divine equipment—it was slightly damaged!
Damaging the divine equipment was completed!
With a loud roar from Dark Emperor, the God of War was summoned!
