Chapter 153 - Godslayer Squad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi could not believe that the officials would make such a move. No matter how much they changed, they should not harm the players, right?

“Sir, won’t this ambush and explosion point harm our own people?”

Li Yi was a little worried.

“Sir, you can rest assured that we won’t harm our own people. This time, our intelligence has learned that the other party has a special party similar to your squad. That party will set up traps in the jungle ahead of time.”

“Traps?”

“That’s right. These traps have been set up in the jungle long ago. They were just waiting for our people to rush into the jungle and get buried by the explosives.”

“So, our goal is to destroy these traps?”

“There are too many traps around. There is no way for us to destroy them in time. Using explosives to destroy the jungle in advance is the best way to kill two birds with one stone.”

Li Yi nodded.

“That’s true. Then when do we set off?”

“Immediately. We must destroy the forest before the war begins.”

“Okay, then we’ll prepare to leave now.”

“Thank you for your service, sir. I wish you a triumphant return.”

[System Notification: Special Mission triggered — Forerunner Before the War]

Li Yi looked at the mission name Forerunner and sighed in his heart. He was the traveler who fought against the gods in this world.

“Sir, I have a small gift for you. It’s to celebrate the completion of your squad.”

As he spoke, the Knight Commander took out a few dark red cloaks. The back of the cloaks was engraved with the symbol of the West Wing Knights.

[Special Equipment: Westerly Cloak]

[Equipment Requirement: Exclusive to Carefree Dream’s Squad]

[Effect: Increases movement speed by 5%]

The squad members stepped forward to receive the cloaks.

Li Yi put them on, and the dark red cloak hid his eye-catching armor. It seemed that this cloak was specifically designed for this kind of stealth mission.

Winnie and the others had also put on the cloaks, and each of them had a seemingly mysterious temperament.

“Thank you, Sir. We will not let you down.”

“It’s good that we can help you in a certain way. I won’t keep you here any longer. In a while, some soldiers will give you the explosives. You’d better move quickly. There’s not much time left before the war starts.”

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Under the sunlight, five figures that looked like shadows disappeared from the West Wing Knight’s barracks.

Along the way, Li Yi and the other three had increased movement speed thanks to the cloak, and from a distance, they looked a little like ninjas on the run.

“Bro, I noticed that our squad doesn’t seem to have a name.”

Clutch King was the fastest in the whole squad, and in order to follow the whole squad, he had to slow down, but this also made him a little bored.

“Indeed, the Carefree Dream squad sounds strange.”

Snow Chaser nodded along.

“How about the Dream Team?”

“Hey, that feels cringey, doesn’t it?”

Dream Seeker did not compliment Winnie’s word of choice.

“Then what else do you have?”

“It’s up that bro to decide.”

Dream Seeker also started to call Li Yi bro along with Clutch King.

“Well… Let’s call it Godslayer.”

Godslayer was Li Yi’s only goal. One day, he would have to face the gods who had destroyed his people in his previous life and kill them personally.

“Godslayer… it gives off a bit of a d*uche vibe.”

Snow Chaser was a little unhappy with this name, but it was still much better than the Dream Team.

“Let’s go with that name then.”

Li Yi did not give anyone a chance to refute him. This name was a reminder to him that he would have to do it one day.

“Okay, then we’ll call it Godslayer.”

Seeing Li Yi’s resolute attitude, Snow Chaser could not refute him anymore.

Dream Seeker pointed at the dense forest in front of them and said, “We’re almost there.”

Li Yi’s eyes suddenly turned solemn as he looked at the forest in front of him.

“Everyone, get ready. We must end this quickly.”

“End this quickly?”

Clutch King had already taken out the Lightning Spear and thrown it forward.

However, as soon as he did, a water pillar broke the attack of the Lightning Spear, and Clutch King stepped forward to grab the Lightning Spear in mid-air and quickly pulled it back.

Li Yi and the others had stopped in their tracks and looked ahead.

“It looks like the other side is even faster than us.”

“Are these the special squads from Kesha City?”

Four masked players stood in front of them in front of the forest, blocking Li Yi and the others’ path. They wore colorful armor, and they looked like players.

“Emperor City’s small squad, I’m sorry, but before the war starts, this path is blocked.”

“Are all of you from Kesha City this arrogant?”

Clutch King placed the Lightning Spear next to him and rested his hands on it as he looked at the four people in front of him with a very relaxed expression.

In order to prevent players from being targeted during the war, only players from the same camp could see the ID of their comrades in battle, while those from the enemy city would not be able to.

This was also a more humane point, but of course, this was only limited to the battle zone.

“Are all the people in Emperor City this rude? Didn’t you study hard in class?”

The masks on the other side were the same, but the professions were different. A person who looked like a Warrior pointed at Clutch King and teased him.

“I graduated a long time ago.”

“Graduated from elementary school?”

“Are you looking for a beating? Your grandpa might beat your *ss up in a bit.”

At that moment, a masked man whose entire clothing was pitch-black and whose profession could not be seen walked out from behind the four masked men.

“Do you want to fight?”

The Warrior with the big hammer in his hand glanced at the pitch-black mask and did not say anything, as if he was waiting for his permission.

“Go.”

After that player said this, the warrior with the big hammer walked out of the group, the hammer was two times the size of his head.

Clutch King also glanced at Li Yi, who nodded. Clutch King jumped into the air and placed the Lightning Spear on the ground while he squatted on it.

“Oh, so it’s a monkey. No wonder it’s so rude.”

“Hah, you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. In a while, you’ll be kneeling and begging for mercy.”

Li Yi’s eyes kept staring at the black mask across from him. Logically speaking, they should have arrived in the jungle long ago. If they wanted to kill Li Yi and the others, would it not be more convenient in the jungle? Oddly, now they were guarding outside.

Then there was only one situation. The traps inside had not been set up yet, so they had no choice but to block the entrance.

Li Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Go to the jungle and take a look at the situation. Don’t be discovered.”

“Okay.”

Dream Seeker’s voice rang out in Li Yi’s ear, and then he could no longer sense Dream Seeker’s existence.

From the moment they encountered the others, Dream Seeker had already hidden himself.

No one on the other side knew of his existence at all.

Li Yi’s expression did not change as he stared ahead at the battle that was about to begin.

He believed that Clutch King had already noticed Dream Seeker’s movements early on, which was why he had taken the initiative to fight.

Next, it would be up to Clutch King to see if he could stall the other side on his own to give Dream Seeker time to gather intelligence..
