Chapter 164: Final Battle
Hathaway's gaze was glittering; she was struggling. Wanting ten Mercenaries to go over at once; why the f*ck don't you just go die!
However, Mad Baron Mark's heavy cavalry were indeed extremely terrifying. Kakh City's Garrison Knights fundamentally all possessed the bloodline of the Kakh Family, more or less. This made them all monsters with infinite strength. Previously they had always been bound and suppressed by the priests in the Temple, so the people of the world could not know. Now, they had completely broken free from their shackles.
In both reason and emotion, the pressure on Mad Baron Mark's side was the greatest. If she didn't agree, she feared Ron would flip the table. It was impossible for him to go seek death. When the time came, once Victor Town was breached, Mad Baron Mark, having obtained more supplies and more soldiers, would only immediately attack the family Camp. And at that time, under the circumstance of Ron and the others settling and leaving in a pique, her mission would equivalently be finished!
"Good! Teacher, everything will be entrusted to you. George and I, as well as the remaining people, will guard the family Camp! However, I still hope to leave that piece of Royal Heavy Armor behind. George might need it. Right, George?"
Hathaway suddenly came out with such a sentence, not knowing what her intention was. Fighting for this heavy armor at the family meeting could only obtain usage rights. If one wanted to obtain ownership rights, a bidding war absolutely had to be conducted. Then Li Wei would absolutely not have even a sliver of a chance. These Four-Star big bosses who could command the winds and clouds on the Chaotic Killing Battlefield—what could he use to compete with them?
Could it be that you, Hathaway, can win the bid for him and then turn around and gift it to him?
You must be joking.
Without 1000 Gold Coins, the bid could not be won!
This was very likely Hathaway purchasing it for her own subordinates.
Therefore Li Wei did not have any interest, merely looking at Ron, yielding the opportunity to speak to him.Sure enough, Ron very firmly shook his head. "Apologies, Hathaway, and George. Mad Baron Mark's Garrison Knights are extremely powerful. That piece of Royal Heavy Armor will be extremely important to me. However, George is an outstanding archer. Right before setting off, I can cooperate with Creed to carry out a certain degree of enhancement for that bow of his. A powerful war bow that can also increase shooting precision can exert an extremely huge effect during city defense battles. George, I strongly advise against you charging and shattering enemy lines."
Alright! This truly is my good teacher!
Li Wei heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning. Although he chose to help Hathaway, in order to prevent him from holding them back, Ron still resolutely transferred some benefits over.
His current bow was the Imitation Han Military Composite Bow, not the modernized kind of composite bow. Of course, all this wasn't important. The important thing was, as long as it upgraded to Three-Star Quality, it would be very sweet. Seizing the present to raise his equipment level was also not bad.
"Many thanks for teacher's instruction!"
George very sincerely gave thanks, and Hathaway did not unfold a discussion regarding this matter. Subsequently, she once again looked obediently at Li Wei, "George, like you, I feel very worried about the future. I feel we should continue to consolidate the city defenses. In this aspect, my uncle Creed is very skilled. We can invite him to serve as the steward for this aspect. What do you think?"
"I completely agree. It's fine if you arrange these matters." Li Wei was very cooperative. Why wouldn't he be? This month, the Snow Mountain Witches' battle of revenge was bound to sound its strike. If they didn't seize the opportunity to grasp the time to consolidate the city defenses, what were they waiting for?
Following this, Hathaway again conversed with Ron regarding other matters for a moment, and fundamentally finalized next month's Monthly Main Task.
Li Wei also naturally summoned the Mercenary recruitment interface. This time it was indeed very luxurious. A uniform color of Three-Star Mercenaries, and a total of thirty-two available for selection. Obviously, the Mercenary players were also very much looking forward to participating in such a grand war!
If dead, then be done with it; if won, then earn big.
But Li Wei would not hire Mercenaries this time. Since he chose to cooperate with Hathaway, naturally priority was given to the other party to hire.
At this time Hathaway said nothing further, directly consuming 30 Standard Gold Coins to hire two Three-Star Mercenaries.
And Ron consumed 150 Standard Gold Coins to hire the remaining ten Mercenaries.
Up to here it became simple. Li Wei, as the nominal Head of Household, issued the Monthly Main Task. But this time, perhaps facing the Final Battle, it unexpectedly instantly consumed 50 points of his Contribution.
[Facing the myriad external crises and various challenges, the Head of Household George still calmly and steadily issued the Monthly Main Task.]
[This month's main task will be divided into two major parts. First, Teacher Ron will lead ten Mercenaries, along with Penny, Mike, Roddy, Snape, and Carson, to head to Victor Town for support. But they must guarantee that Mad Baron Mark's legions will not attack the family Camp along the fork in the road, otherwise it will immediately trigger the result of mission failure and elimination.]
[Second, the Head of Household George, with the help of his wife Hathaway, will lead two Mercenaries and four family members—Fila, Creed, Little John, Pania, etc.—to resolutely defend the family Camp, in order to resist Great Witch Luna, who has completely lost control and attained complete bloodline awakening due to the pain of losing her daughter, as well as the bandit coalition forces of the Four-Star Black-Robed Witch Mixi. Once the bandit coalition forces breach the city wall and take down the One-Star Fortress, it will likewise signify mission failure, and everyone will be eliminated from the game!]
[Outside of the above two major parts, Ron and Creed will promise to carry out strengthening and enhancement for the Head of Household George's composite bow. In addition, before the enemy forces arrive, all family members have a certain authority to do what they want to do, enjoying a rare moment of peace. Because who knows who will still be able to laugh at the very end after this month passes?]
[Warning, this is a Four-Star difficulty Final Battle, so the death penalty will be consistent with the Chaotic Killing Battlefield. That is: if dead on the spot, but the corpse can be snatched back by friendly forces, you will immediately lose two Profession Cards with a total star rating of six! If heavily injured and near death but brought back to inside your own castle to die, you will lose one Three-Star Profession Card!]
[If unfortunately dead, and not even the corpse was snatched back by friendly forces, you will lose all Profession Cards. 80% of the soul will be snatched away by the gods of this world; the remaining soul will be repatriated back to the original world by the All-Heavens Lord Alliance based on Humanistic Care. You might become a vegetative state patient, or might become senile with dementia. Only the terminal lucidity before complete death could possibly let you remember all of this you once experienced.]
[Warning! The current task plot is already long from being a Rookie Mission. If there are still rookie players who do not heed advice and do not settle the mission, insisting on competing for the title of Rookie King, they should naturally understand this kind of consequence!]
——
Following the issuance of the main task, the family meeting ended right there. Ron stood up and without a second word took away Li Wei's Two-Star Composite Bow. Waiting until he pushed open the castle's main gates, he saw the gray fog outside had just scattered. Eight Four-Star players had already arrived with the fastest speed; of course, also including the 12 Mercenaries.
But this time, nobody exchanged greetings or spoke nonsense to put on a performance. The members subordinate to Ron's team went straight to the Industrial Zone, making preparations to gallop and support Victor Town.
The team subordinate to Hathaway instead immediately began consolidating the city defenses. The enemy had a high probability of arriving in five days, but there was also a small probability they wouldn't come at all this month.
Because the three Final Bosses opposite were essentially still natives. They were not things with fixed logical thinking in instances. They could think, would think about seizing victory, and would use strategy.
Thinking to assemble manpower and wait for the Bosses to come to the door, and then pound them kuang kuang kuang, doing stationary output—that was dreaming.
Li Wei was the last one to walk out of the castle. At this point Hathaway had already taken his authority, temporarily acting as Head of Household, conducting a whole bout of command, so busy her feet didn't touch the ground.
Even Penny seemed to have comprehended it, instantly blooming a second spring, following Ron to busy herself while chatting and laughing.
Therefore, inside this castle, the only leisurely one was him. No wonder Night Owl would say, if he only wanted to take first place on the Rookie List, for the next month doing nothing and lying flat could secure first place.
Who told him to accumulate so much advantage previously?
However, to be perfectly honest, the issuance of the Monthly Main Task just now still caused him to receive a bit of a small shock.
Good heavens, the difficulty of this Final Battle even surpassed the difficulty of the Chaotic Killing Battlefield he would participate in the future.
This forced him to re-examine his own decision. Staying behind just like this, could he, an Apprentice Warrior, hold up against it?
Rookie King had not been obtained by anyone for over a hundred years. On what basis did he feel he would be an exception?
Even if recently, he had grown somewhat fast.
"Fortunately I still have a Settlement Card in my hand. If the situation doesn't look right, prioritizing running away!"
This time, Li Wei truly felt somewhat unsteady. He was originally not the type of personality who excelled at taking risks.
"Mm, can't panic. Taking advantage of this opportunity to forge a few pieces of good equipment before settling is not too late either."
At once, Li Wei returned to his room to take out that Two-Star stick of his, and sent it to the Blacksmith Shop, instructing the on-duty Blacksmith Pania to forge it into the Bloodthirsty Spear for him. Although as long as this item was forged by the family's Blacksmith, it would belong to the family property he invested in, fundamentally he would be able to possess the most prioritized right of usage.
Therefore he didn't even need to initiate a bidding war. He guaranteed that when clearing the task, this plaything would completely break down in the war.
"Understood, My Lord!"
Pania was a female hunk, tall and sturdy, sporting a bald head. Actually, besides the name, it was fundamentally difficult to tell from any detail that she was a woman.
If saying she was an earthly ferocious beast, it was estimated nobody would object.
But at this moment this big sister was very obedient. In her gaze was even a trace of curiosity and inquiry, just like the complex déjà vu of a high school student looking at their desk-mate and finding they were unexpectedly an elementary school student?
Li Wei didn't want to describe it. Just as he was pondering whether to forge himself some better-quality armor-piercing arrows or One-Star Quality feathered arrows, he heard Hathaway's voice.
"George!"
Raising his head for a look, he saw Hathaway walking over in an energetic and bustling manner. It seemed she had finally arranged the city defense consolidation matters. Now she looked with a face full of concern.
"George, you were too tired last month. You need to pay more attention to resting."
While speaking, she had already pulled Li Wei into the material storage Warehouse next to the Blacksmith Shop. Once the door was closed, it was an independent space. But there wasn't any charming or tender scenery waiting to be appreciated. She immediately brought out a Four-Star Conspiracy Card. Gray fog blockaded this space.
Good heavens, this big sister truly didn't lack money ah.
