1128 Swindler
On a small dirt slope outside the Empire armory, the players from the Prilla Gaming Guild were stunned when they saw the huge crater left behind by the explosion.
What did that an?
The ground had collapsed?
Both Her Highness and the undead feudal lord fell through the hole?
!!
Was this a trap?
Was the Empire tricked?
Who set the trap in advance?
Ed was confused, his mind filled with question marks.
They had just seen Her Highness Mingyue and the undead feudal lord Fang Heng heading toward the slope and were about to go over and have a private chat with them. They didn’t expect to hear several explosions before they could reach the slope.
Who would expect it to explode?
The other players in the guild looked at Ed one after another.
Sarwen looked at Ed suspiciously and asked in a low voice, “Boss, did you design all this?”
Ed’s face was gloomy.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he had so old grudges against Tang Mingyue and the feudal lord Fang Heng. Moreover, he had led his n to lie in ambush here early in the morning and watched Tang Mingyue’s group fall into the trap.
No matter how others looked at it, it seed as if he had planned it.
But it really wasn’t him!
Ed suddenly felt lucky.
Fortunately, no one else nearby saw this scene, or else he would have to take the bla for nothing.
“No, it wasn’t ,” Ed shook his head.
Everyone looked at each other.
“Boss, then we…”
“Yes, let’s go and take a look.”
Ed led the players away from the slope and went to observe the pothole left behind by the explosion.
The bottom of the pit was not deep, only about seven or eight ters.
Upon a closer look, there was actually a tunnel that extended inwards at the bottom of the pit.
That’s strange, when was the tunnel dug out?
Putting this aside, Her Highness Mingyue’s disappearance in this place must have been planned in advance…
Could it be that person?
That’s not right, wasn’t that mysterious player on the sa side as Her Highness Mingyue? Why did he suddenly attack her?
Did they have a fight?
For a mont, Ed was at a loss.
He realized that there were more and more inexplicable doubts, and his hair had been dropping these two days.
Just as everyone was puzzled by the turn of events, the ga notification appeared in their eyes again.
[Hint: You have triggered a special hostile mission-the missing Princess.]
Mission title: The missing Princess.
Mission type: Hostile mission
Mission difficulty: Unknown
Mission description: Her Highness has been attacked. She has disappeared along with the royal treasure she was guarding. Please inform the Empire and continue to search for her whereabouts.
Mission requirent: Inform the Empire of the disappearance of Her Highness, Mingyue (0/1); Pursue and find the princess (0/1); Reclaim the lost royal treasure (0/1); Investigate the whole story (0/1); Report the truth to the Empire (0/1).
Current mission completion rate: 0%.
Mission reward: Based on the completion rate of the mission, the highest possible random SSS-level team mission reward will be awarded.
The players’ breathing beca heavy when they saw the mission that popped up out of nowhere, and they shifted their gaze to Ed who was standing in the midst of them.
It was an SSS-level reward!!
Ed’s expression also changed slightly.
He carefully read the mission prompt, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought.
From the mission prompt, the mission required them to track down Tang Mingyue and retrieve the missing royal treasure.
If one were to think in reverse based on this clue, the mission that the enemy players received would most likely be to kidnap Her Majesty Mingyue and steal the royal family’s treasures.
That mysterious man was so bold as to make a move against Her Highness Mingyue and the royal family?
“Commander, we…” Sarwen felt that his throat was a little dry. He hesitated for a mont, then looked at Ed and asked, “An SSS-level reward? Should we go for it?”
Go for it?
Ed’s eyelids twitched as he looked into the hole.
Hehe. Stupid ga system. It had lied to him the first ti, and now it wanted to lie to him a second ti? Was it addicted to lying? Did it think that he would be tricked by an SSS-level reward?
“Sarwen, greed is an original sin.”
Ed laughed coldly in his heart as he spoke indifferently and retracted his gaze from the tunnel.
...
In his eyes, this hostile mission was a trap.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and himself.
His guild had been tricked the last ti they did an enemy mission.
At that ti, it was only an S-level random reward.
The result was very tragic. The entire guild was pressed to the ground and crushed, and they were almost wiped out.
This ti it’s an SSS-level?
Ten tis more difficult?
Hehe, he wasn’t going to fall for it!
His guild won’t be doing the mission! Whoever likes it can do it.
Ed couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
Mmh!
...
Ed thought of sothing and narrowed his eyes.
Not only would they not do the mission, but they might even be able to find that big shot to suck up to and help them do the mission!
Wasn’t the mission to help the Empire find Her Highness Mingyue and the missing materials?
They even helped to cover their tracks.
Informing the Empire should have been an easy task but now, he was not doing it.
After all, the final reward was related to the completion rate. Informing the Empire was a simple step, and even if they did it, they wouldn’t receive much of a reward.
It was just that it was a little difficult to cover the traces.
Forget it, he would wait and see.
…
On the other side of the forest, the head of the royal guards, Cheng Jiqiang, who had escorted Tang Mingyue’s team, was leading his team in a fierce battle with the ‘barbarians’.
The strange ‘barbarian race’ had tyrannical strength.
The elite guards of the Empire’s royal family were also extrely powerful in combat.
As the two sides were in a deadlock, a team of more than two hundred people rushed over from behind.
“Help them!!”
The captain of the Empire guards, Eric, shouted. He raised his spear and led his troops into the battlefield.
With the addition of new blood, the advantage of the battlefield was imdiately tilted to the human side.
What was even more exciting was that there were three human mages on the support team.
The mages provided powerful support and greatly limited the abilities of the demons.
The team couldn’t kill the demons within a short period of ti. However, these demons didn’t have much of a desire to fight. After tangling with the evil demons for a while, they realized that the situation wasn’t good and imdiately scattered.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Cheng Jiqiang cupped his fists at the support team and said, “Many thanks!”
The captain of the guards, Eric, had a solemn expression. He cupped his fists and replied, “I’ve just received the warning that the seal on the royal treasury has been removed. I’ve received the commander’s order to co and assist Her Highness Mingyue. The follow-up teams are also coming one after another. Have you seen Her Highness Mingyue?”
Hearing this, Cheng Jiqiang’s pupils imdiately shrank, “Not good, Her Highness Mingyue might be in danger!”
“Let’s go!”
The two human teams joined together to search for the traces left behind by Tang Mingyue’s group pushing the cart earlier.
After chasing for a few minutes, Cheng Jiqiang found a pothole on the ground and Ed’s team gathered around it.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
Seeing that the people of the Empire were pursuing Tang Mingyue’s whereabouts, Ed had an idea and nodded to Sarwen.
Sarwen stepped forward, gestured to the mark of the Mage Association on his chest, and replied, “Captain, we are mbers of the Mage Association nearby. We were attracted by the explosion of the armory and ca to check it out. We found this deep pit on the way and stopped to check it out because we thought it was strange.”
