Red Name Village had a special visitor arrive todayāthe world-renowned professional player, Lancelot, captain of the British Royal Ark Team. Even the Phoenix Feather players, who usually see themselves as above all, couldnāt help but be stirred by his presence.
The higher the level of amateur players, the more they realize the gap between themselves and professional players. Not to mention, Lancelot only revealed his Angel Race identity publicly yesterday. He is undoubtedly a top expert.
The reason for his presence here was obvious; he was definitely here to find the Angel that was taken away by Da Fei. As soon as he appeared, all members of the Da Fei Dragon Cavalry Commerce became highly vigilant.
Yet Lancelot upheld the British gentlemanās tradition, politely waving to each player present, even squatting by the pond to fish while chatting with several foreign red-named players, patiently smiling and answering their tactical questions.
It must be said, his appearance indeed brought a ray of bright and warm sunlight to the deathly dull atmosphere of Red Name Village.
Only Brother Hao quietly sat at the fishing platform, ignoring Lancelotās greetings, not even glancing at him. Brother Haoās stance further solidified the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerceās united determination against outsiders.
Of course, everyone was unaware that Brother Hao was very busy at the moment.
The rumor that Da Fei possessed Beelzebubās power promptly reached Ono Shinichiro via the internal intelligence lines of the Dragon Slayer Guild. Ono Shinichiro was stunned for a while, still unsure what exactly this Beelzebub was!
The informant grew anxious and specifically explained to Ono Shinichiro that Beelzebubās race belonged to the highest-level 7 Demon Lords of the Hell Raceāa member of the Fly Demon King family. Furthermore, the informant elaborated that Satan, the most famous among the 7 Demon Lords, was the top-tier being just slightly weaker than the Light God, and Beelzebub, a fellow Demon Lord, equated to being on par with the Light God.
In short, the informant wanted to tell the "guild information collector" that this intelligence was very valuable, worth at least 500 yuan!
Meanwhile, as Ono Shinichiro muddled through websites searching for information about Beelzebub, an informant from Ninth Heaven also sent a message. He directly forwarded the video of Blood Sea Wave versus Da Fei to Ono Shinichiro!
It was then that Ono suddenly realized. Soon after, the Star informant delivered the same intelligence to Ono. Only then did Ono realize he had received a truly shocking piece of information.
Ono immediately sent the video back to the Mitsubishi Team Headquarters.
In that instant, the Mitsubishi Team was astonished! For the Japan Mitsubishi Team, specializing in the Hell Race, the Demon God family of the 72 Pillars were an unreachable existenceālet alone the more advanced Demon Lord family. Though aware of Da Feiās ahead-of-time strength, realizing such level seemed utterly ruthless!
Facing such intelligence, Igarashi and everyone reacted similarly: "Is this intelligence real?"
Ono Shinichiro instantly replied: "Not entirely sure, but the three major guilds in the China Region have confirmed it!"
Igarashi promptly responded: "Continue gathering relevant intelligence; we will fully analyze this information!"
"Hey-ee!"
Igarashi immediately convened the senior members of the team to thoroughly analyze the video, which lasted only a few minutes.
The video documented Blood Sea Wave discovering Da Feiās fleet entering the ambush zone, followed by the pirate fleet emerging from hiding. Then the radar transition showed the pirateās encirclement, entering the vortex gate in vain, switching scenes, and encountering a two-second air raid alert from this "Beelzebub," followed by Blood Sea Wave skillfully diving underwater to hide for a minute, and finally, the appearance of two or three frogman assassins in the water concluding the process.
After watching the entire video, Igarashi asked: "Gentlemen, how credible is this video?"
Gunno Yosai exclaimed in shock: "Itās hard to imagine; this Blood Sea Wave, as an amateur player, managed to organize such a high-level ambush! Leaving aside authenticity, just the pirate shipās stealth ambush alone is a masterstroke! Both sides mobilized high-end NPCs, appearing in the Otherworld seasāthis is a high-level video rarely seen even among professional players."
Dragon of Echigo nodded: "Indeed, if not for the Transmission Artifact achieving a reversal of attack and defense, Da Feiās fleet would absolutely be unable to withstand this ambush! Judging by the meticulousness of this ambush, it was a sure-win strike by Blood Sea Wave, not theatrics."
Igarashi nodded: "With the recent unrest at Chinaās port, itās evident that Da Feiās archenemy Blood Sea Wave and Royal Guild have orchestrated it. Seeing this ambush was part of their operations, the videoās authenticity is undeniable. The key is this peculiar troopāis it truly Beelzebub?"
The team members exchanged glances: "None of us have seen Beelzebub, and we also doubt whether such a God-level race can exist in the game."
Dragon of Echigo smiled: "Wouldnāt it be easier to have Da Fei confirm it himself?"
Sessho Kanpaku shook his head: "Da Fei wouldnāt confirm it because this is the secret Da Fei is fiercely guarding!"
Igarashiās eyebrows twitched: "Reason?"
Sessho Kanpaku: "Judging by the timing of Beelzebubās attack in the video and the thick fog covering the entire scene, it was clearly initiated by Da Fei when Blood Sea Wave couldnāt take in his surroundings during a scene switch. The intention is obvious: a surprise assassination. But such a lone decapitation attempt is extremely risky. Given Da Feiās absolute advantage, he shouldnāt need to take such risks, which indicates heās very confident in Beelzebubās strength and also doesnāt want Blood Sea Wave to see more of his secrets."
Igarashi chimed in: "However, Blood Sea Wave was equally vigilant and managed to hide successfully for a minute. This minute allowed us to witness Beelzebubās strength!"
Sessho Kanpaku: "Exactly! Thatās why Da Fei was urgent and even sent a frogman to assassinate the strategically worthless Blood Sea Wave, with the sole purpose of keeping secrets!"
Igarashi nodded: "Makes sense! Does anyone have other thoughts?"
Gunno Yosai stood up and said: "Regardless of whether this monster is Beelzebub or whether itās Da Feiās own attribute bonus making him so strong, thereās one undeniable point: this far surpasses any troop type we know, including the angels of Divine Punishment City. Probably for this reason, Da Fei, with his deceitful nature, traded back the 33 British angels honestly, because he no longer values the power of the angels."
Igarashi let out a long sigh: "Very reasonable, what do you all think?"
Everyone exclaimed: "The threat is immense! We have fallen far behind Da Fei!"
At this moment, the duty captain Tsukamoto Hideki, who was operating the God-level Hero with Absolute Misfortune, appeared: "President, do you mean to modify our armyās plan?"
Igarashi sighed: "Mr. Tsukamoto, now a precious day of Absolute Misfortuneās time has passed. This day should have completed one third of our planned goals, but in reality, the Bright Allianceās NPCs have become smarter. After suffering several major defeats, they no longer confront us head-on, but instead hold their outposts firmly, greatly delaying our progress, donāt they?"
Tsukamoto Hideki sighed: "Hey! This is indeed an unexpected situation!"
Igarashi sighed: "So Mr. Tsukamoto, if Da Fei really possesses Beelzebub, how should we respond?"
Tsukamoto Hideki said in silence: "Perhaps, we should take advantage of the remaining two days of Absolute Misfortune to attempt a challenge against the 72 Demon God-level experts, striving to develop more powerful troop types and close the gap with Da Fei! However, itās very risky! Even with Absolute Misfortune, victory is uncertainā"
At this point, Tsukamoto raised his voice: "President, just give me one more day, if we push harder, we will capture all the key fortresses of the Elf Kingdom, they will be doomed, and no allies can save them!"
Igarashi frowned: "How can you ensure that in the coming day, the Elf NPCs wonāt become smarter? How can you ensure that the Elf NPCs wonāt summon God-level experts for relief? Just like how Da Feiās absolute advantage in the Pool of Radiance and Dragon Slayer Guild confrontation was instantly reversed by Leviathanās appearance?"
Tsukamoto Hideki let out a long sigh: "I have no confidence at all! The NPC forces indeed have potential we cannot anticipate."
Gunno Yosai sighed: "Even if Da Fei doesnāt have Beelzebub, we should also revise our original plans! And this incident with Da Fei forces us to resolutely reform, I support the Presidentās reform!"
Sessho Kanpaku: "Thatās right, although weāve lost the opportunity to completely eliminate the Elves, their vitality is severely injured, and itās impossible for them to recover in the short term. If we acquire higher-end Demon God Family troop types, we can still handle it even if the Elf Clan summons God-level experts."
Igarashi said solemnly: "What are your opinions?"
Everyone immediately said: "Our Japan has always been brave in taking risks and continuously achieving victories, defeating Tsarist Russia was like this! Defeating South Korea was like this! Defeating China was like this! Defeating the United States at Pearl Harbor was like this too! We are an undefeatable nation!"
Igarashi nodded decisively: "Implement Plan B!"
...
At this time, Ono Shinichiro, who was collecting intelligence to further confirm the authenticity of Beelzebub, received the latest update from Mitsubishi Headquarters. Due to Da Feiās activities, headquarters changed the original plan to wipe out the Elf Kingdomās NPC and ventured towards the previously least favored plan.
At this moment, Ono Shinichiro felt a strong unease! Is this strategic shift, concerning national fate, based on an uncertain piece of information too rash?
But no time for further thought, Red Name Village was in an uproar, members of the Red Cross exclaimed: "Back, itās back, Brother Feiās little secretary has flown back!"
And at that moment, Lancelot leapt up excitedly!
