The leader of Winged people, Frans, was a level 68 epic warrior in the current game version. He was very powerful.
When the three Orc legions were attacking the city, he was not bothered and showed no intention of taking part in the war outside. He wanted to make use of the city fortifications to force the Orcs to retreat.
Even though the Winged people were strong, they could not avoid casualties in a war. And since they people valued their precious lives, they tried to avoid a direct confrontation, whenever possible. An example would be that they preferred arrows over the use of swords.
Every Winged person had memory inheritance. They looked forward to living in a sky city and becoming the righteous angels of the Light.
Whenever a Winged member attained level 70, the holy light would descend and bring him to their sacred ground.
They would receive the training and inheritance of the sky city. They also had a chance to become the angels!
Frans wanted to attain level 70 and pass his leadership to another Winged member before flying to the sky city…
But he had miscalculated. The pale Orc Altaic’s development had been rapid. Before Frans had the chance to leave, the Orcs had attacked the Winged people.
He did not wish to fight, but he did not want to send his warriors to their death either. So he decided to seek the help of his ally in combat, Lord William.
In the middle of a steep cliff,
Mosaics of the sky city had been engraved within a flawless palace. Beautiful angel statues could be seen. The players looked forward to witnessing the real angels.
The players were not able to visit the sky city within a short period of time, but they could still anticipate.
William brought along Eric, Nox, and some players in this conference with the Winged people.
The players were composed of Angry Fatty, Changli Jiuge of Glory Club, Chu Liuqiu, and Xiao Ayin. They could help William expand his influence.
There was another purpose to their involvement, avoiding criticisms.
Chu Liuqiu and Xiao Ayin were among the top three players who dealt the most damage in the previous battle.
Changli Jiuge and Angry Fatso were William’s old acquaintances. The other players could only be envious of them.
Frans invited William to sit down and have a taste of their fruit wine. William’s followers stood behind and surveyed the surrounding.
Frans gave a long sigh and said, “Altaic is ambitious. The battle at the Devil’s Den had shown the evil intention that he had for the City of Dawn.”
“It’s the honor of the Winged people to have Prince William defeat the Orcs. I believe you’ll like to kill Altaic as well?” Frans said and glanced at William. He understood William’s eagerness to kill the Altaic.
William was overjoyed to hear Frans address him as a prince. He was an abandoned prince and did not have any power among the Blackleaf Elves. But he had a profound influence over the players.
The other players had thought of William as their leader just by looking at their expressions.
“But I’m always at the end of a losing deal. Do I look slow-witted?”
William drank the wine and said casually, “We’re allies and I’m going to speak frankly. Altaic is my nemesis.”
“If I give him the Dragon’s guts, Altaic will not dare to attack the City of Dawn even with the help of his strong brother.”
“Moreover, my regular army legions were involved in a year-long battle. They were sick of fighting. The mercenaries are my main force. I wonder what plans the Winged leader has for us?”
Frans frowned. He knew he was unable to shirk his responsibilities.
When William blinked, Frans waved his hand instinctively to dismiss his people.
William also waved his hand to dismiss the befuddled players.
Things had come to this stage.
The situation would be awkward.
A heated debate was unavoidable.
It was a long debate.
It lasted almost half an hour.
The two red-faced leaders walked out of the conference hall.
William breathed in a gust of fresh air. He felt satisfied as he obtained a good deal.
Altaic did not start a war without reason.
The Winged people had discovered an orichalcum mine that was close to the Heavy Spear tribe.
But somehow the information was leaked, ans Altaic led hundreds and thousands of Orcs to occupy the mine. Altaic also deployed the Orcs at the entrance of the Winged people’s city in order to restrain them.
Frans knew he could not suppress it, so he did not hide this information. It was better to inform William.
Frans wanted to take back the orichalcum mine. If William could get rid of Altaic or his brother Arles, William would obtain 50% of the orichalcum production. Otherwise, William would only obtain 30% of the orichalcum production.
Though the orichalcum was valuable it was difficult to sell it for gold coins or use it to gain power.
William knew that the Winged people were loaded. After using various hard and soft tactics, he managed to obtain 50,000 gold coins.
“One month. I’ll think of a way to get rid of Altaic or his brother within a month. Even if I can’t kill them, I’ll make the Heavy Spear tribe pay a heavy price.”
William scratched his head. Besides the number of trolls they already had, the Heavy Spear tribe had two legendary and numerous epic-level Orcs. The tribe was a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Without a legendary Orc to guard the Heavy Spear tribe, Altaic would not have dared to ambush the Dawn army.
At this moment.
A figure with long slender legs approached William.
Many players swallowed hard instinctively and commented, “Legendary…”
“It’s a woman…”
“Gosh, does William know her?”
“Prince William is awesome.”
William frowned and wanted to explain himself, but…
The players saw the leader of Winged people address him as Prince William. Fatty and the other players also decided to address him as Prince William as it sounded more impressive.
In the players’ hearts, William was their faction’s BOSS. They had given him a special title to show his awesomeness.
The title Dragon slaying warrior was not dignified.
Calling William a city lord was meaningless as there were many city lords.
Only the title Prince would clarify William’s royal status and sound impressive at the same time. The Blackleaf Elves was a formidable force in the legendary continent. Who would look down on a Blackleaf prince?
The female Winged person was a legendary NPC. She attracted all the attention of the players.
“Xiyan gives her greetings to the Lord of the City of Dawn, Prince William.”
William looked at the young Xiyan who was flat-chested. She had quite a dominant aura.
But he was perplexed. Was she Xiyan?
“Isn’t she an angel? Altaic was not living well in his previous life as he was being attacked by the Dragon’s clansmen. He did not have the chance to attack the Winged people so William did not get to see her before she became an angel…”
William thought that there were many powerful characters in the southeastern corner of the continent. He nodded and asked, “Legion commander?”
“No, I’m the temporary commander-in-chief of the Winged legions,” Xiyan replied without emotion.
Level 68?
William pondered for a while and said, “Good, Commander Xiyan, what’s your opinion on the attack of the Heavy Spear tribe?”
“Defeat him!” Xiyan clenched her tiny fists.
“Is that all?”
“That’s correct.” Xiyan paused before saying, “Proceed to the orichalcum mine tomorrow. The prince’s army of chosen ones shall go for a frontal assault. I’ll lead the Winged people and attack their flanks. We’ll have a good chance to defeat the 10,000 Orcs stationed in the tribe. If Altaic is present, I shall kill him personally.”
“Oh my god.” William did not articulate his thoughts. He merely nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll follow your plan…”
Xiyan turned to leave. The players gaped in astonishment. Was that a battle plan?
Was it so simple?
The players felt as though they were cannon fodders.
William glanced at Xiyan who had flat bums and sighed. “She’s indeed the future Combat Angel. She has been so impulsive since young…”
