Chapter 142: Unparalleled Vanguard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the major battle, William’s equipment was more or less destroyed.

Thankfully, the Light equipment set was considered defensive equipment. If not, it would not be able to stand such an intense fight.

But he still brought back the broken equipment. He could hand them over to an extractor to extract some materials. It would not be a waste.

Finished with the matter of Augustine’s corpse, William returned to his home. He washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Then, he threw his inner clothes that had been stained with blood into the bin. Finally, he comfortably lay in his warm bathtub.

He looked at the people on the ground walking back and forth. Then, he looked up at the two moons in the sky, and his mind started to work rapidly.

“My strength is not bad, but this does not mean that I am invincible. I have to be more careful. There are experts who go beyond the version limit.” William thought about this in silence.

Since almost all his equipment was ruined, he had to make another set of dark gold equipment and some epic weapons. But this was not a major problem. He simply had to ask a blacksmith to take care of it.

“Old Band and Moses. They do not have the luxury of attacking. More importantly, they are not my subordinates.”

“But the Iron Nation…” William’s head ached.

He did not know whether Goethe Nasis had the ability to make the professional who exceeded the version limit, attack first.

William furrowed his eyebrows. He did not think too much about it and took out the reward he had obtained from killing Augustine!

Drip!

[You have obtained an endowment: Beginner level flame resistance.]

[Beginner level flame resistance: 10% reduced damage from fire attacks.]

“Damn?” William widened his eyes. He could not help but swear. “F**k, I took so much effort to kill a legendary, and this is what you give me? Wha kind of stupid reward is this? Sh*tty luck…”

To a legendary Boss like him, Augustine’s half set of equipment did not mean much.

Thus, the rewards he pursued were different from that of players. Players might be excited to obtain half a set of armor. They would even be happy to get broken epic weapons. But William was different…

“Endowments, secret books, and various rare skills. These are the most important…”

“Time to sleep, time to sleep. My luck is really…” William was too lazy to again think about his own luck. He lay in his bathtub and slowly closed his eyes.

When Odom opened the door, He found William putting on his clothes. He stared at him and asked, “My Lord, are you awake?”

“Yes. Has anything happened in our territory recently?” William had chosen to wear a dark purple robe, but there was no armor underneath. There was no need to wear one either, after all, this was his own territory.

“Nothing major now. But our neighbors, the Winged people, faced some disturbances. They want us to send troops and check on the Orcs in the east forest.” Odom hesitated slightly, but he continued. “Since Lord was in the human nation, we have been dragging it on. We have not given them a direct answer.”

“Pale Orc, Odom Altaic?” William remembered. Altaic was sworn enemies with Odom.

William patted his shoulder. He knew that Odom had not agreed to the request of the Winged people because of his resentment. Thus, William assured him. “Relax. The human nations haven’t gone to war yet. It is not a bad thing to help our old allies.”

“My Lord, it is important that we should look out for the tribes under the Giant Dragon. It is hard to determine if they will cooperate with Altaic.” Altaic had a serious expression on his face. If that were the case, the City of Dawn would not have an easy time going into the war. Working with the Winged people would be difficult as well.

William picked his eyebrows. “You are thinking too much. Altaic’s ancestors are legendary Orc. The proud, pale Orc might work with them to commit evil deeds.”

“Do we directly attack them?”

“No. Let’s allow the chosen ones to test the waters. What if they cooperate to commit crimes?”

“…” The corners of Odom’s lips twitched.

The city lord brought the assistant city lord to walk in the streets. Naturally, many subordinates followed them. It made many players curious and they joined the subordinates in following the City Lord.

Most of the players in the City of Dawn had joined the Dawn Mercenary Team. Some other players who played rashly had established their own mercenary teams to blend in.

A piece of news had appeared on the forum.

When the team leader advanced to the human nations once again, he would bring everyone in the mercenary team.

Many players flanked William’s sides. They continuously asked, “Team leader, when will we fight?”

“What benefits are there?”

“Will there be girls following us?”

“Boss, there are too few mercenary troops. When will we be able to become core members? Distribute wives!!!”

“Distribute wives!!”

“Distribute wives!!”

There were all kinds of strange comments. Like typical NPCs, William pretended not to hear them.

It went on until he reached the stage at the central square.

The players knew that the team leader was about to issue a mission.

William gestured for them to be quiet.

He used his battle energy and shouted, “Our allies, the Winged people, are peaceful and loving in nature. But now, they are being ambushed by the Heavy Spear Tribe, the Orcs! As allies, the City of Dawn must help them. I hope that you soldiers will follow me!”

[Ding dong]

[You have received the mission ‘Unparalleled Vanguard’]

[Unparalleled Vanguard: William Blackleaf admires the chosen ones, whose bravery is unparalleled. As the vanguard troops, the Dawn Mercenary Team will fight a decisive fight with the Orc tribe and kill at least 3000 people.]

[Mission Introduction: Vanguard? Get rid of the word “unparalleled”. Just go to your deaths]

[Mission Difficulty: B+]

[Mission Ranking Prize: ???]

“Tsk tsk, what a realistic mission introduction.”

“Just go to your deaths. When I heard that, I felt a chill. When the time comes, let’s take off our armor and go.”

When Chu Liuqiu received this mission, he was equally shocked. “Mission ranking prize. The person who is sent out the most should get good rewards, right?”

“No matter how good the rewards are, it definitely loses to the rewards on the forum!”

The corners of Changli Jiuge’s lips twitched. “Those 30 people embarked on a secret mission. I heard that they were purely being sent to their deaths. Even Forever Alone’s armor had been destroyed.”

Chu Liuqiu’s gaze was encouraging. “Changli, you must perform well. Your hidden occupation can showcase its potential.”

“Leader, it is easy for you to enter the ranking. After all, your skills are very strong.” Changli Jiuge quickly tried to curry favor.

“What good are our hidden occupations? It is all thanks to the master secret books. You seem to be the only one with an epic hidden occupation in Gods, but you haven’t told us how you obtained it.” Someone said admiringly.

At that moment, an Elfin player wearing silver equipment walked over. She picked her eyebrows. “What nonsense are you talking about? Changli was very clear. It was a Hidden Mission that the city lord had given him. If you are jealous, go lick the boots of the city lord. If you don’t do that, you won’t make an impression.”

“Assistant leader.” A group of members hurriedly said in unison.

Chu Liuqiu looked at her and rolled his eyes. He did not dare to say anything.

Xiao Ayin, the assistant leader of the Glory Club.

She was 23 years old. She was pretty, her chest was large, and her legs were long. But most importantly, she was skilled.

Her father saw that she liked playing games and invested heavily in the Glory Club, becoming a shareholder. He made his daughter become a professional player.

But the thing to note was that,

His skills were a far cry from that of Xiao Ayin’s.

In a previous game, she had become a celebrity player in a short span of three years. She had acquired a large group of fans. She had more deterrence than him…

The other members looked at assistant leader Xiao Ayin admiringly. She was dressed in gold equipment, equipment created by her own money. She did not use any funds from the subsidiary guilds.

Changli Jiuge saw that the assistant leader was talking about him. He looked at her with gratitude.

Xiao Ayin tilted her head. “Changli, I’ll lend you my armor. Fight for the Glory Club!”

“Real… really!”

“Don’t worry. I will also lend you my gold weapons. But if you lose my equipment, you can sell your kidney!”

“I don’t need it… I have my silver weapon!”

Xiao Ayin widened her eyes. She looked at him in disbelief. “What did you say?”

“Yes… I’ll take it.” Changli Jiuge gulped. He knew that his assistant leader was about to fly into a rage.
