Chapter 141: Returning To The City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Level S mission [War Of Power].
In just a short period of time, William had completed the second mission which was to use 50,000 mercenaries and kill Augustine.
He obtained some experience points, but they were of not much use to him now.
The sun was setting.
William arrived outside the city gate. The beautiful female guards noticed the blood-stained Lord William and rushed to help him.
Fortunately, there were many players around…
William gave up his idea of pretending to be exhausted and leaning on the female guards. He took over the sword of a guard and used it to disperse the crowd. Without even changing his clothes, he proceeded to his next destination, the fortune-telling shop.
The players of the City of Dawn watched William leave. A discussion had erupted on the forums. The video of [Battle of the Legendary BOSSES] had been posted on the discussion forum, for everyone to watch.
The captured video was very chaotic, and there were numerous defects.
The player who shot the video perished in battle.
But with the help of some editing, the captured video became an exciting battle film.
The Lord of the City of Dawn fought with 20 BOSSES of Iron Nation on his own.
“You’ll understand after watching the film. In the five minutes of battle, the Lord’s feats. went beyond human. He battled one legendary BOSS, seven epic warriors and numerous opponents. He even killed several of them.”
“Augustine was very impressive. He was our fire-element idol, but I didn’t expect him to die…”
“It’s a pity that the duel between Augustine and William was not captured. Otherwise, it would’ve been very exciting.”
The players were enthusiastic as they talked about the battle.
The discussion forum was also rife with arguments. The players of Iron Nation cursed and swore. They were adamant that William made use of underhanded methods to kill Augustine.
But the players of the City of Dawn and Black Lava Nation were on the same page. They were unhappy with the players of Iron Nation.
William was their team leader and superior. He was the BOSS who led them to victory in the war.
Some players even posted the pictures and videos of Lautner to prove no one had a.s.sisted William. It had become an episode of Sherlock Holmes.
The players of Iron Nation were obstinate, and they refused to listen to any explanations.
A player named ‘Light of Freedom’ created an explosive post!
“Will the Freedom Army be defeated by the n.o.bles?”
The content of the post was complicated.
It criticized the aristocracy and pointed out its bad points. The post also exposed the oppression of the NPC slaves and commoners.
Since the players were the chosen ones, they were the saviors of the world. They should not turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the NPCs.
The author pointed out that William was just a mercenary leader who fought battles for the sake of chaos.
He also wrote that even though William was a neutral Lord, he created the unorthodox Dawn Mercenary Team so as to reap profits from the war.
The players from the Iron Nation saw this as a chance to increase their morale, and replied to the threads. They also made use of the opportunity to attract more players to their faction.
And in front of any criticism,
They made use of the morality principle to further their cause. It even persuaded many players to join them…
But this post was created to attract novice players.
For the players who had already joined the Dawn Mercenary Team, the post had no effect.
It could not be helped.
There were too many benefits staying in the Dawn Mercenary Team!
Hence, the players did not want to leave.
As for the members of Glory and Prosperity Millennium Club, they were also not moved by such a post. Instead, they felt more confident serving William.
The players of the City of Dawn rebuked with a video post that depicted the beautiful sceneries, and the good law and order that existed within the city.
They also mentioned that there were no slaves in the City of Dawn. Only beautiful women and handsome men!
William pushed open the door. He looked very haggard, as if he was a ghost, and it even gave Moses a shock. He almost threw his cat at William’s face.
As he watched Moses’ actions, William was not amused. “What are you doing? Don’t you recognize me?”
“Yes… but you’re too ugly. I don’t want to talk to you.” Moses had an obsession with cleanliness. He only cared about appearances and not status or capability.
William did not bother to rebuke him. He threw Augustine’s corpse on the floor.
Moses already noticed the corpse. He raised his brow and asked, “What’s that?”
“His soul hasn’t dispersed yet. Can you revive him?”
“Why?”
“He’s a powerful catch. If you revive him, then he’ll be able to a.s.sist me.” William frowned. He initially thought of using soul control.
But the strong-willed Augustine could not be controlled.
But it would be a different case if Augustine was revived…
Perhaps, he would lose his memories. Then William could easily control him.
William was confident that Moses had the ability to erase Augustine’s memory.
Unfortunately, the lazy Moses just shrugged. Waving, he asked William, “Why should I waste so much effort to revive him?”
William sat down on a chair and kicked Augustine’s face as he replied, “What do you want?”
Moses smiled and said, “He’s not completely dead yet. I can still see his soul…”
“Oh.” William quickly moved his leg.
In the end,
Crack.
When he got up, he broke Augustine’s finger that was already revealing the bone underneath the flesh.
William smiled awkwardly at Augustine’s corpse in a bid to express his apology…
“Tsk, tsk…” The smiling Moses shook his head. He could almost see Augustine going berserk in his soul state.
“Tell me. What do you want?” William recalled what treasures he had at his disposal. He wondered what Moses really wanted, and whether it would be worth reviving Augustine.
“The remaining Dragon’s blood? Or my body… Pooh, pooh.”
Moses could not read William’s mind. He raised his brow as he collected Augustine’s corpse and smiled sinisterly at William. “I’ll revive him for free, but you have to let me use him first.”
“…” William again frowned.
“For how long?”
“At most a year. At least two months. But don’t get your hopes too high.” Moses had some breakthrough in his soul magic experimentation.
It had to be emphasized.
Augustine was in the best condition to be Moses’ guinea pig.
“Will he become a r.e.t.a.r.d?” William asked with concern. It was not easy for him to obtain a legendary warrior, and it would be a great shame if he lost the chance to use him properly.
“Pooh. If his soul is abducted, he’ll definitely be a r.e.t.a.r.d. Then he’ll become a puppet with combat experience.” Moses cut off the soul connection of Augustine that normal people could not see. Then he walked into his private laboratory that William had not entered before.
William glanced at the black befuddled cat before leaving…
Moses’ actions had cut the connection between Goethe Nasis and Augustine.
Goethe Nasis, who was located hundreds of miles away, was suddenly hit by a heavy blow. He shivered while bleeding from his orifices. It took him half an hour to recover.
“D*mn. Pacify the n.o.bles in the nation. I’m going to declare war within a month!” Goethe Nasis bellowed.
His voice reverberated through the entire palace.
But n.o.body dared to say a word.
