Chapter 475: The Wolf Has A Winning Game When The Shepherds Quarrel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After giving ten carriages of foodstuff and 10 gold coins, this group of down-and-out Bandits instantly obeyed Lin Jie. They sharpened their swords in preparations to snatch the City Leader’s wife.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie continued executing the third step of their plan.

...

At the City of Light, City Leader’s Mansion.

“What? Viscount, is what you said really true?” City Leader Caesar, who was lounged on his chair, instantly jumped up after hearing what Lin Jie said. “There are people who want to kill me in the wild by using my wife as bait?”

Lin Jie nodded. “Yes, Lord City Leader. It’s best if you could arrange guards to be on standby, or else...”

The City of Light’s City Leader Caesar the Great was famous for being timid. He immediately called for his subordinates and formed a team of Paladins. Everyone in that team was the top in terms of strength in the City of Light. A total of 100 Level 60 Rare Paladin Elites was a force to be reckoned with.

The Caesar ordered those Paladins to always surround him with himself being the center. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and continued lying down comfortably. He waved his head and said, “Alright, Viscount, I am safe now. Thank you for your news, please leave.”

Ding~

—’The favorability of City of Light’s City Leader Caesar towards you has increased by 1 point.’

Lin Jie’s mouth twitched. If it were in other cities, helping the City Leader to avoid danger could allow one to obtain large amounts of rewards, such as money, experience points, equipment, a nobility rank, and so on. Meanwhile, Caesar only gave 1 point of favorability...

In Lin Jie’s previous life, someone had beaten Caesar until he was in critical condition, torturing him violently, as the City Leader begged for mercy, his favorability increased rapidly instead.

Despicable! That was Caesar’s synonym.

The sky darkened, the dim moonlight enveloped the City of Light, and the Holy Light from the Tower of Light also rose up gradually, as if it was a lighthouse to guide the way for players. The players who farmed outside for a whole day all returned to the City of Light, then they either went offline to rest or sold their loot obtained on the streets. The whole City of Light became more lively.

Bars and restaurants also opened successively with customers entering and leaving. Players playing the role of bartenders and chefs also started their work, using cheap items in the game to create delicious food and alcohol, which tasted even better than in the real world, and were also much cheaper.

The game had become the second world for many people.

However, something happened in the City of Light, something not too large nor too small—The City of Light’s City Leader’s wife had been kidnapped by the Bandits of Qifeng Mountain. The Adventurer’s Guild had released a mission inviting players to save her.

To that mission, everyone booed as the City Leader’s wife being kidnapped should be at least a high-grade mission, right? However, Caesar the Great was extremely stingy, one would not obtain anything except a word of praise for saving his wife. It was simply a waste of energy, so no players had enthusiasm towards that mission, they were too lazy to help. As a City Leader, he could be counted as a weirdo for people having such a reaction, which was a far cry from if it was other normal City Leaders.

Caesar the Great walked in the front timidly and often looked back to check on his guards. He gulped down his saliva multiple times and had his head shrunk. He looked at the surroundings while panicking, he was extremely afraid.

He had once again walked up the pathway to the mountain to save his wife. After those Bandits from Qifeng Mountain had captured the City Leader’s wife, they could not find the Emerald Forest Gem Lin Jie had mentioned no matter where they looked. Therefore, these Bandits with low IQ naturally thought that the City Leader had hidden it, and thus wanted him to bring along money, food, weapons, and armor to the Qifeng Mountain.

At the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

Thousand Tomb Murder brought 1,000 players, who had accepted the “hidden mission”, and ambushed there earlier on. As expected, when midnight arrived, a figure covered in dark robe gradually appeared—it was really the City of Light’s City Leader!

“Caesar is here, everyone, get ready.” Thousand Tomb Murder’s eyes were filled with excitement. Although he was curious why the City Leader would appear in such a place, the idea of completing the mission made him throw away that little curiosity!

That Caesar the Great could be said to be the weakest amongst all City Leaders of main cities, but the City of Light was the strongest main city, so his position was his own ruin as it would cause others’ greed. Such a weak City Leader being in charge of such a powerful main city, he would be killed sooner or later anyway.

After killing Caesar, Baili Xuanyuan could become the City Leader before the City Leader was respawned! That was Thousand Tomb Murder’s plan. Currently, Baili Xuanyuan was throwing big bucks with all his might to increase support from the civilians. If he succeeded, then who knew how much money could be saved. If Thousand Tomb Murder asked to take credit for his successful plan, then the benefits obtained would be beyond imagination.

It wouldn’t even be difficult to push Scorching Sun down from the guild leader position. Actually, Thousand Tomb Murder had been eying the guild leader position for quite a long time and had always been trying to find an opportunity to replace Scorching Sun—that was his true, final goal!

Once Caesar the Great entered the Qifeng Mountain, hundreds of Flare Arrows were shot into the sky, illuminating the surroundings so bright as if it was daylight. Up to 1,000 people charged out from the surroundings and completely surrounded Caesar the Great. Naturally, those were the team Thousand Tomb Murder had led.

Thousand Tomb Murder was also someone who carried out tasks vigorously and speedily, so with a wave of his right hand, he had directly ordered them to attack. He wanted to kill the City of Light’s City Leader as quickly and quietly as possible!

Shoosh—

It was unknown how many attacks had landed on Caesar the Great. Caesar really was worthy of his title, the Weakest City Leader, as he kept on getting hit without retaliating. He rolled on the ground in pain as numbers representing damage values popped up from his head one after the other.

“Hurry up and settle him in half an hour!” said Thousand Tomb Murder ferociously. The health points of main city City Leaders were all fixed at 90,000,000 points! Any City Leader with even a little battle power, could easily kill the players by dragging the battle. However, Caesar was different, his battling ability was infinitely close to zero. Also, the place they were in was the wilderness, without guards, he did not have the strength to escape at all!

“Enemy attack!”

“Sinful people, accept your judgment!”

“Holy Light Forward Sprint!”

Just at that moment, rays of Holy Light pierced into the sky, one could only see a large group of Paladin Guards, riding tall and sturdy horses, charging into the crowd. Each and every one of them was Level 60 Rare Elites. That group of Paladins stamped their feet, and it was obvious they had activated the AOE skill of Paladins [Consecration]. The ground was instantly torn apart, and numerous rays of Holy Lights drowned the players—there were even some Mages who were instakilled.

100 Paladin Rare Elites against a team of 1,000 players! It was a close fight between the two. That was also due to the fact that Paladin was a mediocre job in terms of Attack Power. If it were a group of Mage Guards, then that 1,000 players would have already been smashed to death by Blizzard.

“Call for reinforcements!” Thousand Tomb Murder instantly sent messages to numerous members. These members were neutral or belonged to those who tended to favor him, so they would not reveal the information to Scorching Sun. In less than half an hour, another 2,000 people had arrived secretly and started battling with the Paladins.

“Holy Light!”

“Heal!”

“Holy Recover!”

Even if the attributes and levels of the Paladin were significantly higher than the players, the players’ advantage in numbers still overwhelmed the Paladins as these Rare Elite Paladins’ health points were gradually decreased to a dangerous level. Thus, they started to crazily activate Healing Spell, and for a while, they were in a deadlock with the players. As for Caesar, he had been beaten black and blue all over, so he hid at one side.

Thousand Tomb Murder held dual swords and used Combo Attack vigorously, though he was much worse than Lin Jie. Thousand Tomb Murder’s Combo Attack was extremely stiff, most of the time his combo would be interrupted after a few attacks. That was because the actions of the monsters would affect the connection of attacks, it was not that simple to connect the attacks.

After the battle continued for over two hours, the Paladins finally could not take it and shouted ferociously, “Group Confession!”

That most despicable skill of NPC Paladins—Group Confession had appeared once again! At that moment, thousands of people simultaneously entered the confession state, they lowered their heads and stopped whatever they were doing. Meanwhile, the Paladins leisurely used the skill—Consecration! Holy Magma surged out and shone on the players’ bodies.

At that moment, damage values of 1,000+ popped up, and instantly large numbers of cloth-armored jobs, such as Mages and Priests, with lower health points, died. Bandits, Hunters, and Druids, these three leather-armored jobs, were also left with only the last bit of health, instantly dying with only one attack from the Paladins.

Finally, when the Group Confession ended, Thousand Tomb Murder and others were finally released from forcibly confessing and faced the Paladins, who had become spent bullets—they proceeded with the final slaughter! Although the price paid was not small, it was worth it!

At that moment, a covert patch of grass at a certain place in the Qifeng Mountain moved.

“Star Kill has sent a message that he has finished recording it, the battle has reached its last stage, so let’s go.” Lin Jie motioned them to follow him.

Savage Blade had despicably hidden at such a place. Just as the battle was about to end, they immediately moved out and pounced towards the battlefield! It really was the wolf who had a winning game when the shepherds quarreled.

The only condition Lin Jie lacked for him to become the City of Light’s City Leader was: For the City Leader to have an accidental death! What was an accidental death? That was he had no hands in killing the City Leader or to be exact, no one knew he was involved in the City Leader’s death—that was an accidental death! Star Kill currently held the crystal ball, which recorded the whole process of Thousand Tomb Murder trying to kill the City Leader, so now that everything was in place, he was prepared to harvest the fruits of his labor!

Thousand Tomb Murder was happily killing those Paladins with his subordinates. One should know that Paladins were almost invincible in the City of Light as the Holy Church was present. Thus, the Paladin NPCs’ skills would be strengthened extraordinarily, so much so it couldn’t even be compared to the effects of the skill used now. However, it was in the wilds now, so the Paladins could only face death.

After killing Level 60 Rare Elite Paladins, although quite the amount of reputation was deducted, the rare items dropped still made Thousand Tomb Murder pleasantly surprised. Each Rare Elite Paladin dropped items such as equipment, weapons, talisman, and so on.

“Kill the City Leader and then prepare to retreat.” Thousand Tomb Murder heaved a sigh of relief. The number of Never Setting Sun members alive was less than 500, and everyone’s health was already at most half-full. Thousand Tomb Murder could not help but admire the strength of the NPC Guards. Now, the last step left was to kill the City Leader.

“You’ve really worked hard, Thousand Tomb Murder.” A faint voice could be heard, one could only see a burly Ogre King walking out from the forest as he laughed eerily. “Choosing you was indeed the correct choice.”

Thousand Tomb Murder was astonished, he pointed towards Lin Jie and said, “You- you’re not an NPC?”

“Of course not.” Lin Jie chuckled and canceled the effects of the Munjo Crown, revealing his original self.

“Codename Lone Wolf!”

“That’s right, it’s me.” Lin Jie nodded and smiled coldly. He added, “Thousand Tomb Murder, I see you’re quite powerful, why not join our Brotherhood and become a candidate for elite members, what do you think?”

A shiver ran down Thousand Tomb Murder’s spine, and he shouted angrily, “Kill the City Leader, quickly!”

“Can you do it?” Lin Jie smiled faintly.

Tens of figures instantly appeared from the forest behind Lin Jie, the cold light rays from the reflection of their weapons shone as their deadly attacks took lives mercilessly.
