Chapter 1349: Prayer
“Sit down, talk a while before going!” Yan Zhao Warrior held my shoulders.
“Ah…”
I cried out in pain. It was burnt by Wang Zecheng and my wound was just dealt with simply.
“How is it?” Wan Er and Dong Cheng all came over in concern.
“Sorry, I didn\'t mean it…” Uncle Yan Zhao apologetically helped me to check the wound. At the same time, he looked at Wan Er and Dong Cheng and smiled, “Damn, Xiao Yao your engagement is interesting!”
“How so?” I asked.
“Buy one get one free!” He laughed.
I was speechless and Dong Cheng’s face flushed red, “I am seriously crushing on Brother Xiao Yao. Uncle stop joking, be more serious!”
He was about to laugh to death, “Is there a crush more obvious than this?”
I sat down and both Wan Er and Dong Cheng were beside me. This table was Yan Zhao Warrior, Mu Xuan, Ye Lai, Call me Master, Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Simple etc guild leader level players. Seems like it was the china region’s war command center. I sat down and everyone was very casual.
……
“Let’s be more serious.” Yan Zhao held his chopsticks, “Although you led everyone to take down the seven cities, the entire world is terrified. They are going to use the system rest time to close up the gap. The 4th country war will be really tough!”
I smiled, “Uncle why are you saying so much?”
Fang Ge Que laughed, “His intentions are so obvious!”
Yan Zhao Warrior laughed, “Right, it is obvious. I want to tell you not to retire. Honestly, you are more experienced fighting with Sky Rose and Clear Black Eyes. If you retire, I don’t have the confidence to defend everything. Without you, Zhan Long and Six Palace Pink’s combat strength will reduce. Moreover, once you back out, Royal Army and Heaven Barrier Army’s strength will reduce too. You must know that Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Jing Yin, Long Xing etc only listen to you. Lin Qiong is also so arrogant and he only respects you. If you leave, we have no choice but to hold up everything.”
I coughed, “Actually those aren’t much, I am not fully quitting. I will still play, if not life will be so boring.”
I paused and said, “Since you are taking over, you need to carry up the flag of China Region. That is your responsibility and it has nothing to do with me. But speaking of which, I am not The Executor but I am still the Xiaoyao King, the only player king in game. I won’t have too few NPC troops under me. Don’t worry, go all out. If you lose I will come back to clean up your ass!”
Q-Sword nearly teared up from laughing, “I can’t take it, all you fellows. How can the guild leaders of Zhan Long and Prague say such things? I want to eat in peace, stop it.”
Jian Feng Han laughed too, “Right. There are girls beside us, pay attention to the image.”
I turned around to greet the girls. As expected it was a table of beauties. Fallen Swan, Six Ya, Yue Yao Yan, Dancing Forest were all here, no wonder Jian Feng Han was so serious. But didn’t he have a pretty girlfriend? He was actually eat in the pot while staring at other pots. Thinking about that, I looked at Dong Cheng and she looked at me too while doing a kissing motion. My heart was in a mess, should I learn from him?
Fang Ge Que’s expression was serious and asked, “Xiao Yao you were talking about coming back? What do you mean?”
I lowered my voice, “That… You saw on the 5th floor, the artificials…”
“En.” Mu Xuan said, “I only saw them on the news, this time I saw them in real life.”
“This thing is not only there in China.” I bit my teeth, “The world has such technologies and behind it is a huge organisation. Many of them appeared at the border and our army is at a disadvantage so we might need people at the border…”
“What?”
Wan Er opened her eyes, “You… You promised me that you won’t join!”
I held her hand, “I will try my best, but… If they need me, I might really go. I am a soldier and you know that. Protecting the country is a soldier’s duty but they do need my strength…”
Actually, everyone understood. Looking at the world, only I could kill A and S Grade artificials without any losses. Moreover, my efficiency was ahead of the top troops. Only I could handle many missions.
Wan Er bit her teeth, “I… I don’t want to be a widow!”
Dong Cheng said, “I don’t want to!”
Wan Er looked at her and laughed, “You fellow, today is my engagement, can you stop stealing the show? If you want to snatch him you can wait until tomorrow okay!”
Dong Cheng held my hand and smiled, “My fault, Dong Cheng don’t be angry, Brother Xiao Yao is yours okay.”
“I…”
Yan Zhao Warrior sucked in a deep breath, “En, if you really want to join the modern war then I can only wish you good luck and respect you. Really, that is what guys should do but I am too old. The army would probably reject me now…”
Mu Xuan stared and looked at his stomach, “You are pregnant with a beer belly and you want to join an army, do you want to terrify the central commander?”
“I…” The uncle didn’t know what to say.
Fang Ge Que said, “Xiao Yao, if you join the army then you can’t join the game right?”
“En, but I will bring the helmet and if needed I will. But most of the time would be doing operations. I don’t want to get killed when I am in game.”
“Okay.” Fang Ge Que nodded and said, “Since that is the case then try to get online more and settle the situation. At least before the 4th country war we need to create the best war environment.”
I said, “En, I have tried to settle the hybrid demon territory. If we can support Pearl to fight against Sif, even with Clear Black Eyes, Drunk Maple and Demon Mountain in their camp they won’t have an advantage. The other things aren’t down to me.”
I looked towards Yan Zhao, “Uncle, head to Nine Heavens City and get close to them, only then can we defend it. Actually, we don’t need to pay attention to too many cities. Nine Heavens City has the teleportation function so we have to defend it. Iron Skull City has the flying mounts so send people there to collect the gryphon mounts. Swirling Abyss City has the Chiyou Tribe so it won’t be a problem. The easiest to take down is Tian Ling City and Moon CIty.”
“Ok, understood!”
……
I stood up and brought Wan Er and Dong Cheng to drink with others. I had never seen many elders but I still greeted them warmly.
Until 3pm, the banquet finally ended. Everyone’s rooms were arranged and they went to do their own things.
Zhan Long’s event was simple, head to the grave to pray for Shen Bing and Dong Cheng Lei. They were from Zhan Long Hall and were worth it.
30+ of us came and at first, we were smiling and laughing but when we saw the breeze and wild grass, our moods got heavy. Right, our lives were exciting. We had friends, game, family but Ah Lei and Shen Bing only had the weather to accompany them.
First was Dong cheng Lei’s grave. His picture was imprinted on the tombstone and it made one’s heart ache. When Dong Cheng Yue cried, Dancing Forest and Yue Yao Yan’s eyes turned red.
Next was Shen Bing’s tomb. I stood in front and looked at the photo. Shen Bing was a beauty but beauties didn’t live long. Xing Lie and Axe cried right away. At first, they lowered their voice but then they cried out loud.
My nose felt sour and my tears couldn’t help but fall. I used my sleeves to rub my eyes, “Axe, Little Lie, okay stop crying. If Sister Shen Bing looks at you, she will laugh at you and say that you are sissies. You won’t get girlfriends like this…”
Xing Lie’s tears fell even more and he stuttered, “If she can really laugh at me, I am willing to not have girlfriends for the rest of my life. Boss, we…”
“Enough.”
I wiped the tears and said, “This is our duty. The base has applied to enter the army so from now onwards we are soldiers. Now we can cry but in the future we can’t. Sister Shen Bing is still looking after us from above!”
“En!”
Xing Lie nodded and his gaze became firm. Although he was the top sniper in the base but he wasn’t old. He was just a kid. The loss of a friend was so cruel and it made him more and more like a rock. Each rock-like guy was probably from experiences like this.
