Chapter 1095: Spy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hehe! Peerless Heaven…”
Upon hearing what Nine Solitary Spears said, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Even Nine Solitary Spears felt embarra.s.sed.
Nine Solitary Spears knew full well that w.a.n.g Yu had a very good relations.h.i.+p with the boss behind Peerless Heaven. Furthermore, for that bunch of money-minded players, even if they were to interfere, it wasn’t certain whose side they will support either.
At the end of the day, despite the number of players there were, if they did not belong to any organisation, they were simply insignificant. In this situation, the moment those smaller groups of players heard of Twilight City’s name, it was likely that they would have decided to go offline to avoid this disaster.
Therefore, the people that Nine Solitary Heavens were most afraid off were those that belonged to large guilds that had their own laws and regulations. However, now that the only comparable large guild in Sky Dragon City was Peerless Heaven, much less the fact that w.a.n.g Yu had a close relations.h.i.+p with the boss of Peerless Heaven…
As for the other players in Sky Dragon City, they wouldn’t pose much of a problem. Apocalypse was one of the top reputable large guilds within the kingdom, and was miles apart from Heavenly Alliance, which was just a random mob of players. Without the protection of their guild headquarter’s walls, they wouldn’t be able to put up much of a resistance.
It should be known that Apocalypse still belonged to the camp of the Sky Dragon City’s players… It was relatively easy for them to enter the city as “one of Feng Yun Realm’s people” and rebel against him.
…
Furthermore, the beef between Apocalypse and Heavenly Alliance could be considered resolved. If Apocalypse refused to help Quan Zhen Sect after accepting their help, they wouldn’t be able to survive in Sky Dragon City in the future either.
On the contrary, if they were to help Quan Zhen Sect, not only could they still remain in Sky Dragon City, Nine Solitary Spears could fulfill his wish of becoming the City Lord of Sky Dragon City.
Instead of saying that Nine Solitary Spears and his gang were fighting for Quan Zhen Sect, it could be said that they were fighting for their own future instead.
Working under others and working for oneself were two completely different concepts altogether.
Nine Solitary Spears knew how awkward of a position he was in. Just when he was about to express his willingness to cooperate with Quan Zhen Sect, he suddenly received a private message from w.a.n.g Yu.
Upon reading w.a.n.g Yu’s message, Nine Solitary Spears frowned a little, before brandis.h.i.+ng his long spear and thrusting it towards Ming Du, who was standing beside Fearless.
Everyone initially thought that Nine Solitary Spears was still contemplating on the actions that he should take, who would have known that he would suddenly launch an attack on Quan Zhen Sect.
Nine Solitary Spears was considered an expert in his own rights, and was fully equipped with top-grade equipment. Furthermore, as a Crusader, he had one of the most brutal single-target attack power amongst all the other cla.s.ses. Ming Du, who was a weak cloth-based armour Magician, had no way of resisting such an attack, thus he was instantly eliminated and vanished into a ray of white light.
“F*ck! Solitary dog, what is the meaning of this?”
Upon seeing Ming Du get killed, the players from Quan Zhen Sect were all shocked. Instinctively, they all took out their weapons and pulled apart into formation, ready to counter-attack at any moment. However, the moment Nine Solitary Spears struck out his spear, he had already dashed back to his own guild’s encampment. He coldly smiled and said, “I have seen countless of despicable players like you. You think that you can deceive me? Now that your player with the largest AOE damage output is gone, and with the ten thousand players underneath me, if you know what’s best for you, then hurry up and scram, otherwise don’t blame me for burying you here.”
As he was speaking, Nine Solitary Spears waved his hand, and the players around him started to enter into a battle formation, seemingly as if they were about to team-wipe the entire Quan Zhen Sect.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
Now that Heavenly Alliance’s headquarters had already been broken through, they no longer had any geographical advantage. As strong as Quan Zhen Sect was, they wouldn’t stand a chance if they were to engage in a frontal collision with a large guild such as Apocalypse.
Upon hearing Nine Solitary Spear’s shameless words, the people from Quan Zhen Sect could only hatefully glare at the people from Apocalypse, before activating their cape and flying off into the skies.
At this moment, a player called Jade Cloud, who was standing beside Nine Solitary Spears, said, “Brother Spear, are we just going to let them off scot free?”
“Nonsense!” Nine Solitary Spears said, “Even though that bunch of players may be small in number, every one of them isn’t someone to be provoked. Furthermore, they are capable of flying. Even if we were to team-wipe them, we would lose many of our own brothers in the process. The priority now is to defend our city, thus we have to avoid as many deaths as possible.”
“Defend the city?” Jade Cloud asked in shock, “Brother Spear, are we really going to cooperate with Feng Yun Realm?”
“That’s where you’re wrong!” Nine Solitary Spears said, “I’m only doing this for Sky Dragon City and for no one else in particular. Let’s hurry, that bunch from Quan Zhen Sect must be gathering their reinforcements! If we hurry back to the city, we might be able to reinforce the city’s defences.”
“En.”
Jade Cloud nodded his head, before commanding the players from Apocalypse to retreat from the headquarters and head back to the city.
After waiting for the members of Apocalypse to take their leave, w.a.n.g Yu and the rest flew back to the same spot.
At this moment, Ming Du, who had just been resurrected, appeared closeby and said, “F*ck, Old Bull, what’s going on?”
“He he!” w.a.n.g Yu cheekily smiled and said, “Nothing much, just beating someone at his own game.”
“Beating someone at his own game?”
When everyone heard, they were all momentarily stunned. Soon after, they asked in shock, “There’s a spy amongst them…?”
“That’s right!” w.a.n.g Yu nodded his head and said, “Not only is there a spy, the spy is one of the core members of Apocalypse too!”
“How did you find out?” everyone asked curiously.
w.a.n.g Yu coolly said, “That is because there were only a few players that knew I possessed the Sky Dragon City’s City Lord Seal. However, Feng Yun Realm was able to get wind of this information too.”
Initially, when w.a.n.g Yu and Nine Solitary Spears collaborated to a.s.sa.s.sinate Heavenly Dragon, only Nine Solitary Spears and a few of his trusted subordinates knew of this matter. Furthermore, during the a.s.sa.s.sination, in order not to let Heavenly Dragon know of his ident.i.ty, w.a.n.g Yu had even made his way to the Magician School to change his appearance. Even the players from Apocalypse that were there that day didn’t know who w.a.n.g Yu actually was.
However, the very moment that Heavenly Dragon was eliminated, Feng Yun Realm had already known of w.a.n.g Yu’s ident.i.ty… It was clear that amongst the subordinates that Nine Solitary Spears trusted, one of them was Feng Yun Realm’s man.
Furthermore, there was the private messaging function in games. It was way easier to engage in spying activities in the game, as compared to in real life.
“Could it be that someone was able to use some overpowered method to discern your ident.i.ty?” Fearless asked, after pondering over it for a while.
With skills as perverted as w.a.n.g Yu, there wasn’t a single player in the entire game that could hold a candle to him. Perhaps when he was fighting Heavenly Dragon, people could tell his ident.i.ty from the skills and techniques that he used in combat.
“I used to think so too.” w.a.n.g Yu shook his head and said, “But after seeing Feng Yun Realm, I thought otherwise.”
“Why so?” everyone asked, confused once more.
w.a.n.g Yu coolly answered, “If you were to have seen my skills in combat personally, would you have the guts to continuously challenge and provoke me?”
“F*ck!” Everyone fl.u.s.tered and said, “Such arrogance! Even though what you said was the truth, we simply aren’t used to you saying such arrogant words.”
…
As this time round it was a City War, there wasn’t much time to prepare as compared to previously when Twilight City was under siege. Sky Dragon City only had thirty minutes to prepare its defences.
Just when Nine Solitary Spears and the rest arrived outside the city gates, Feng Yun Realm just so happened to be leading his subordinates to man the city defence tools.
Upon seeing the sea of Apocalypse players approaching the city gates, the mercenary troops were instantly frightened.
However, Feng Yun Realm calmly shouted from atop the city walls, “Are you here to defend or attack the city?”
Nine Solitary Spears met his gaze and said, “Nonsense. We are all Sky Dragon City’s players, what do you think we are here for.”
