Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 495: Joining the Faction (Bonus /10 for Alliance Leader Hongyue)

At this moment, atop the Southern Fortress, Li Wei and Fieldsvae were also looking up at that bright pillar of light in the night sky.

The former's gaze shifted slightly, while the latter let out a long sigh. "Lord Falcon Karl has agreed. These are the five hundred Falcon Knights he accumulated over many years, which were previously hidden eight hundred li away waiting for Kahndorf's five-thousand-strong army to attack, preparing to deal them a fatal blow. But now, for your sake, Lord Falcon Karl has used his trump card. I hope you can understand this sincerity. Now, please join Lord Falcon Karl's Faction."

"I also hope you won't be half-hearted and become a Slave of Three Surnames, otherwise, you will regret it."

Li Wei said nothing. He directly took out his Troubled Times Pioneering Card and chose to join the Faction. Although he was already a Blue Earl and the Troubled Times Pioneering Card was already shining with blue light, there was no downward restriction on joining a Faction, meaning he could even pledge loyalty to a White Viscount.

At this moment, Falcon Karl's name flashed through his mind. Instantly, several lines of information silently emerged.

[You are applying to join the Faction of the former Marquis of Falconry, Karl Dawson. Based on your past relationship with Karl Dawson, the friendship of fighting side by side several times, and the current interests, your application this time complies with the rules.]

[The former Marquis of Falconry, Karl Dawson, has approved your application. From now on, you will be allies and joint forces sharing weal and woe. Besides this, Karl Dawson has also informed you of his ambition. He will rebuild the Kingdom of Gurock, and promises you that at that time you will obtain the status of Flame Duke, and will simultaneously possess a Blaze Province. He will be willing to share a thousand years of wealth and rank with you, and will marry his youngest daughter Anna to you as a wife.]

[Note: Please obtain the rest of the Faction information after meeting with the Faction Leader Karl. You can reach a more detailed cooperation agreement regarding the future. And right now, to express his sincerity, Faction Leader Karl is ordering his Falcon Knight order to travel Rushing Through the Night to come to your territory for support. It is estimated they will arrive early tomorrow morning.]

[Warning: Due to Faction Leader Karl's high regard and respect for you, if you choose Defection in the future, you will definitely suffer the condemnation of your conscience, and simultaneously 300 points of World Reputation will be forcefully deducted.]

Arriving early tomorrow morning?It sounded pretty good. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know if it was because of his +20 Perception, but tonight he always felt a bit Terror-Stricken—

So he couldn't delay. He had to quickly find that Samsara Traveler and kill them, lest things change from a delay.

"Fieldsvae, I'll trouble you to hold the fort here tonight. The northeast, southeast, and due east directions, please be sure to pay attention."

"Rest assured, I will do my best. In fact, the reason I was sent over was to exert effort at this time, so you would owe a favor and join the Faction. But you seem to feel it's not secure? Now you should finally tell the truth, right."

Fieldsvae smiled; he was Falcon Karl's diehard confidant.

Li Wei was just about to speak when suddenly his expression changed. "Crap! They actually struck early!"

Because at this moment, his Troubled Times Pioneering Card suddenly received several lines of bloody information.

[Your 58 captives were sacrificed by an unknown power.]

[Your 62 captives were sacrificed by an unknown power.]

[All your captives were sacrificed by an unknown power!]

[One of your operating 3-Star Magic Mines was polluted by an unknown Dark Magic power and will be unable to operate for twenty-four hours!]

I fucking!

This was something Li Wei absolutely had not anticipated. Were the methods of this group of Samsara Travelers this awesome?

But before he could issue commands through the Pioneering Card, five bright Great Fireballs directly rose up from all directions. However, they were not the attacking type, but Holy Magic—a highly effective buff. As long as one carried the corresponding magic identification card in advance, they could enjoy this buff.

Increasing Stamina, increasing Life, restoring vision, reducing damage taken from Mental Shock, increasing magic resistance, and so on.

The worst-case scenario had really occurred.

"Li Wei, you fucking... how could you set me up like this?"

Fieldsvae was utterly dumbfounded. He had felt something wasn't right before, too not right, and as a result, fucking hell!

"Stop complaining, hold this place!"

As Li Wei roared, his entire person also transformed into a flying eagle and charged back to the Central City.

Because the first 3-Star Magic Mine was polluted, all corresponding functions like magic monitoring, Holy Magic illumination, and resonance interconnection of Magic Traps all failed.

The entire territory was instantly plunged into a pitch-black darkness.

And within this darkness, billowing thick smoke was generated. Inside the smoke were Ghostly Wails and Wolf Howls, incredibly foul-smelling. Fuck, this was the Blood Plague, and at least a Level 5 Blood Plague!

The opponent came fully prepared!

However, just in the very next second, with a hum, a powerful magical light shot up into the sky, piercing the darkness and dispersing the poisonous fog and Blood Plague. The second 3-Star Magic Mine activated and began operating.

This was Li Wei's foundation. He had more than one Magic Power Mine.

He had two. The first one was a cover, always located in the farmlands, obvious to see.

But the second one was built in the Central City and had been operating secretly.

Sizzle!

A brand new Sequence Three Light Magic rose up. Perhaps it didn't have a huge dispersal effect against a Level 5 Blood Plague, but the point was, this wasn't a single spell, but a 3-Star Magic Mine internally storing nearly a hundred units of pure Mana.

It was operating and exerting its effect every moment, equivalent to a Sequence Three Light Magic being released every second.

In fact, after just three or five seconds, the situation was directly reversed.

First, the Magic Trap positions in three directions of the territory reconnected to the Magic Power Mine, so the enemies' intrusion would leave traces. So what if they were Fourth-Tier Rangers? Exposing traces meant they would similarly be attacked.

Following that, the area above the Central City where it was previously shrouded the thickest and where the largest amount of Blood Plague was deployed was directly cleared out by the Holy Magic.

Li Yue, leading the Blazing Legion, could finally march out to battle. Target: twelve Human Silhouettes rapidly approaching from due west!

After this, the Holy Magic continuously surged and operated, constantly washing away the Blood Plague. By now, it was only a matter of time before the first Magic Power Mine returned to normal.

But, this was only the beginning!

At this moment, Li Wei suddenly stopped in the sky, reverting to his human form, while Adai, with a wingspan nearing fifteen meters, appeared silently beneath his feet. Right now, he was exactly eight hundred meters above the ground, and he had already seized the initiative first.

This kind of aerial advantage was unparalleled, especially for a ranged profession.

In the next second, Li Wei activated the first Talent of the Radiant Ranger, Magic-Piercing Perception. By instantaneously consuming 30 points of Spiritual Power, he increased his own Perception by 7.5 points for 4.5 seconds.

This was a highly domineering Talent that possessed a crushing effect. Especially since Li Wei's current Perception was already +20, it instantly rose to +27.5!

This was the Trump Card!

This was supreme!

At this moment, Li Wei felt he had attained a comprehensive sublimation. Except for a slight headache, all his senses soared wildly. The dark night before him was like a little sheep stripped of its clothes.

He could do as he pleased!

He was the ruler of this dark night!

Time suddenly became very slow, even measured in microseconds. He could see the rhythm of Mana within the Holy Magic, could see the magic fog of the Level 5 Blood Plague melting and retreating under the suppression of the Holy Magic.

He could see Li Yue leading the forty-two cavalry of the Blazing Legion marching out to battle.

He could see Fieldsvae on the Southern Fortress operating an Enchanted Giant Ballista, forcing back a Fourth-Tier Ranger two kilometers away who was attempting to charge through the Trap Zone.

He could see Xuanxuan holding a Great Hammer, leading twenty Heavy Armored Infantry forming a formation to protect Chekhov.

He could also see Thomas transforming into a Stone Giant, guarding by Liu Huan's side.

He could also see the Logistics Camp entering the Central City to take shelter, and could see the remaining Heavy Armored Infantry at the Northern Fortress operating Enchanted Giant Ballistae, firing based on the firelight rising from the Magic Traps, although it didn't have much deterrence.

But everything was indeed in state.

Except for the separately isolated Prisoner Camp, which suffered devastating casualties.

Oh, except for two people!

One was Benjamin, and the other was called Tom. Both were captives, but right now their identity was Samsara Travelers; there was one more than Li Wei had thought.

Of course, the current Benjamin was no longer Benjamin, and Tom was no longer the original Tom.

Under the suppression of Li Wei's powerful +27.5 Perception, these two were directly revealed in their true forms.

He discovered an unknown card embedded between the brows of Benjamin and Tom. It was exactly under the effect of this bizarre and mysterious card that another stranger was sewn onto the backs of their bodies.

It was hard to describe this weirdness.

It was like a person overlapping with your shadow, standing closely behind you. Whatever action you took, they could take the same action, or whatever action they took, you would take the same action.

Even their aura, memories, speech, and expressions were identical.

So this was the reason why Samsara Travelers relied on to infiltrate the Myriad Worlds without being discovered at all? The possessed person wasn't dead; they just became a puppet.

And at this moment, the two of them should be using some kind of invisibility-like item or skill, rapidly retreating while taking advantage of the chaos. Right now they had already run nearly two kilometers away, and were about to enter the Trap Zone in the northeast direction.

Good Heavens, truly slippery, truly leaving no trace. After making a move, regardless of success or failure, they rapidly retreated without lingering to fight at all. If it weren't for Li Wei's current ultra-high Perception of 27.5, they might have actually managed to Escape with One's Life.

In a split second, high in the sky, Li Wei swiped casually, and the Five-Star Enchanted Longbow bloomed in his hands like a lotus flower. The four Destiny Grids of Farmer, Hunter, Woodcutter, and Scout abruptly resonated, forming phantoms upon phantoms. These phantoms even covered dozens of meters, instantaneously transforming into pairs of arms, bowstrings upon bowstrings, and Fletched Arrow upon Fletched Arrow.

Clearly Li Wei had only drawn one bow and one arrow, yet at this moment it actually illusory formed hundreds of Fletched Arrows.

Then, the moment he released it, all the phantoms disappeared, along with the 5-Star Anti-Magic Arrow on the bowstring, as if it had fallen into a black hole.

At this moment, if someone were watching from this angle, they would discover a Samsara Traveler two kilometers away suddenly stumble.

Following closely, dozens of layers of magnificent and mysterious light and shadow rapidly stacked and appeared on his body. Those were the various defensive methods, Defensive Items, and defensive skills he carried bursting forth.

But, it was of no use.

Just like a match lit on a pitch-black night, suddenly lighting up, suddenly annihilating.

Then, in the darkness, his body was like crushed sand, blown-off dust, just silently annihilating like that!

Even if his strength was not the slightest bit inferior to a Tier 4 Legend, even if he was a Samsara Traveler!
