After the mission titled ‘The Chosen One’ appeared, the players finally calmed down.
However, there was still quite some time before this large-scale S-rank mission would commence.
The main objective behind releasing the mission information on ‘The Chosen One’ now was to let the players have something to look forward to.
The players here and the Lord of Dawn were rather close. Even if they didn’t attain first place in the mission, they could probably receive many other rewards.
“Anyway, being a core member of the Dawn Mercenary Team seems to have a benefit?” Many single players couldn’t help but lick their lips.
“I remember that Prince William had previously said that he would find wives for the core members?”
The single players beside him nodded. “Yes! He is probably going to find NPC wives for them. I wonder what kind of wife the player who would rank number one in this mission will get. Will she look attractive and have a good figure?”
“Ahem, if your wife is an NPC, you need to increase your affinity points with her before you can do anything. If she’s not happy with
you…”
“Tsk, tsk!”
Upon hearing that, everyone’s hearts sank.
They almost forgot that this feature existed.
It would be useless having an NPC wife then. To even interact with her, a high amount of affinity points would be required. If not, she could dump you anytime or cheat on you.
F*ck!
As expected, this reward was a scam.
Nonetheless, regardless of how badly the players wanted a wife, they had to acknowledge that Prince William was never stingy in giving rewards for the missions.
Because of that, many self-complacent players were trying their best to upgrade to the Advanced level. They wanted to gain the upper hand and increase their chances of attaining a higher ranking in the mission.
Changli Jiuge glanced at Xiao Ayin, who was still sulking, and didn’t dare to mention anything about the cards. “Posting an S-rank mission once we are back, Prince William is indeed generous.
“Previously, the highest mission reward in the City of Dawn was only Epic equipment, but now, they are even rewarding us with Legendary equipment.”
“Has Prince William hit the jackpot? Or rather, has the status of the City of Dawn in the southern region undergone a revolutionary change?” Chu Liuqiu contemplated.
Several exclamations could be heard as the players near the central plaza cleared a path for a bunch of Advanced professionals.
All of them were pure-blood Elves.
They were wearing a complete set of Gold equipment, and Dark-Gold weapons were fastened to their waists. They marched in unison towards the central plaza, the sounds of their footsteps weighing on the players’ hearts.
These elves were William’s Elven guards.
But now, their numbers had increased by a whopping 3000.
After the Elven guards fell into formation and formed two lines, Prince William made his official appearance while riding on the Thunder Horse King.
He narrowed his charming eyes and scanned the players, giving them a smile.
At this moment, all of the female players watching this clenched their fists and screamed in excitement.
“Honey, look at me! Look at me!”
“Prince William is so handsome, I…”
“My heart can’t take this. Prince William has become even more charming. Oh gosh…”
“Oh my God! Prince William looked at me! I feel like I’m going to get pregnant from his stare…” A female player jumped up and down animatedly. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were numerous Elven guards around, many players would have directly rushed up to William and would’ve tried to touch him.
All of the players were happy to see William make his appearance.
However, after hearing the female players scream for William, the male players were no longer as excited.
“This is no fun…”
“He’s just a little bit more handsome than me. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Ahem! Brother, Prince William is indeed so handsome that I’ll turn gay for him. On the other hand, even a rock in the countryside toilet looks better than your old pimply face.”
The former just made a ‘tsk’ sound and kept silent. He was staring at Prince William excitedly. It appeared that he was appearance oriented, just like the other female players.
Frankly speaking, many other male players were like that too.
After a while, when the number of people screaming became fewer, William gestured for the crowd to become silent. “I’m very happy today. I didn’t expect you all to descend from the Heavens after two years.
“I wonder if you all are interested in completing a mission for me?”
As William spoke, the players received information on another mission.
[Engulfed: It has been a long time since the Darkness Invasion ended. However, three years have passed, and many Devil’s Dens and dark creatures have appeared on the grass plains again.]
[Mission Introduction: Follow the Dawn Army and completely annihilate the dark forces on the grass plains.]
[Mission Level: A+]
[Mission Reward: 10,000 to 200,000 experience points]
[Mission Reward: 100 to 3000 contribution points)
(Friendly Prompt: You should know what to do.)
Indeed, for an A+ mission, the mission rewards were not that great.
However, the players were still very enthusiastic. After looking at the Dawn Army, they had a desire to see how strong the City of Dawn had become.
This was part of William’s plan. He wanted to instill a sense of belonging in the players.
And in order to do that, the City of Dawn had to demonstrate its amazing power!
As of now, there still existed 33 Devil’s Dens, and more than 400,000 dark creatures were hidden in the grass plains.
This bunch of dark creatures liked to bully the weak but feared the strong. They only dared to stir trouble with other races in the grass plains and harass the passers-by.
The City of Dawn had taken control of the north and south sides. The dark creatures lived in the middle and didn’t dare to behave too arrogantly. They wanted to slowly accumulate their strength and attempt to find an opportunity to invade the Black Lava Dukedom, taking the Dawn Army by surprise.
However, they didn’t know that they could live until now only because William let them.
The purpose of this mission was to let the players display their power. They could take care of some Intermediate and low-level dark creatures.
But considering all that, this mission was a little difficult for them.
However, what did players seek in the game?
They liked to participate in the plot and influence its changes.
Anyway, it was only the start of Version 3.0.
Although the rewards weren’t too lavish, they were much better than what Black Lava Dukedom and Emerald Grand Duchy provided.
William didn’t give the players much time to prepare beforehand.
There was no need for that anyway.
As the sun was about to set, the unfading crystal in the city lord’s palace suddenly emitted a beam of light in the direction of the grass plains, resembling that of a God’s eye! (Eye of Sauron)
Once again, light descended upon this terrain that had been occupied by Darkness and where no life was born.
At the same time, two doors that led to underground tunnels were opened.
The players hurriedly followed William and his Elven guards out.
Веер!
A bugle call sounded.
In the next moment, a third door under the cliff opened.
A hundred thousand elite soldiers emerged from it.
However, that was not the end.
A fourth door opened!
An elite cavalry of 9000 appeared!
There were two cavalries that used Thunder Warhorses as their warhorses.
The other cavalry legion used black warhorses, which had Dragon bloodlines. Those gigantic warhorses had sharp teeth, and their hooves were covered with regular scales, just like dragon claws.
Evidently, the Black Dragon Warhorses that had been purchased from the Beast City had far more concentrated Dragon blood as compared to Thunder Warhorses. They had more external features that resembled a Dragon.
Of course, this didn’t mean that their bloodline potential was superior. Both the species were around the same in terms of bloodline potential.
Nonetheless, the players were flabbergasted.
The mere mention of the 100,000 strong Dawn Army already sounded crazy to them.
“Gosh, more than half of the Dawn Army are Elven soldiers?’
“There are two legions made up of Seraphkin too.”
“Huh? Why are there so many Dwarfs here?”
“Prince William is a true prince, indeed. Just look at the marks on the Elves! They are all Intermediate, Advanced, or Grandmaster Bosses. Yet, they can only be senior captains or soldiers in the Dawn Army?”
All of the 100,000 Dawn Army soldiers were at least Intermediate professionals.
There were more than 6000 Advanced professionals!
The most eye-catching ones were the Legendary BOSSES leading the 100,000 Dawn Army soldiers.
Burned Cinder, Diablo, Xiyan, and Lautner…
“Xiyan! She’s the little Seraphkin Angel that had slender legs.”
“Xiyan is my favorite! I remember she had previously proposed to Prince William. I approve of this couple!”
Swish!
The heroic little Angel Xiyan suddenly turned around. A strong killing intent could be seen in her penetrating gaze, and the player that made that comment was so frightened that he almost peed on the spot.
Ahem!
It could not be helped.
Previously, little Angel Xiyan’s wing had been broken, and she had knelt down on one knee before William. That moment was the stain in her life that she desperately wanted to erase.
However, many busybody players had already recorded or screenshotted that scene.
An ear-piercing scream could be heard from the cliff where the Seraphkin once lived at.
As shrill noises pierced the air, the players raised their heads. When they gazed at the sight, they gasped in surprise.
Griffins!
The City of Dawn’s Griffin Legion consisted of 3000 griffins on which soldiers rode. The griffins flapped their wings and gradually descended in front of everyone, as if they were heavenly generals.
At this moment, the 3000 soldiers placed their right hands on their chests, and the griffins lowered their forepaws as a tribute.
The person that they were saluting was none other than William.
The players were speechless.
The prince had been acting cool so much today that they had almost acquired immunity to his antics…
Changli Jiuge’s mouth twitched. “Damn! I don’t even know how to bootlick Prince William in the future. His status keeps rising. What if I’m not even qualified to talk to him next time?”
Upon hearing that, Chu Liuqiu firmly shook his head. “Haven’t you discovered that Prince William highly values us immortal chosen ones?”
“What do you mean?”
“Just continue to shamelessly bootlick him as usual. I believe Prince William is still easy to get along with…”
Changli Jiuge glanced at the other players who wanted to laugh but were keeping it in. “I want to complain to the club management.” He said with a deadpan face.
Chu Liuqiu snorted. “Rejected. Get lost! +”
“Okay…”
William gazed at the Dawn Army, of which he had only mobilized half. He slowly advanced while riding the Thunder Horse King, and raised his sword.
Swish!
A flash of lightning covering an area of a hundred meters could be seen.
The City of Dawn’s war flag was raised, and it fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, the Dawn Army pointed their longswords at the Devil’s Dens. Loud roars appeared. “Attack!”
