Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 223 - 217: Where is she? Hurry and lead the way!

Chapter 223 -217: Where is she? Hurry and lead the way!

The night in Segis World had already arrived.

According to their usual routines, most players who had been completing tasks all day would choose to rest for a few hours to recover some energy in the game.

But the sudden random task made all the players who were ready to go offline and sleep stop in their tracks,

“A time-limited random task?”

“Crocodile Mercenary Corps?”

The system prompt message was sent as a task reminder to the entire server, instantly capturing the players’ attention.

The third test players, who had never experienced storyline tasks before, curiously checked the system messages.

The experienced first and second test players who had accepted such tasks multiple times were already excited,

“It’s a task with a storyline description! Time for a big fight again!”

“It’s time-limited? Twenty-four hours?”

“Based on my experience, the more time-limited the task, the more generous the rewards!”

“Hahaha… Fifty-eight players were captured by NPCs, such a bunch of talents…”

“The task is here! Time to team up and fight!”

“Wait… Look carefully at the task reminder! It has detailed explanations below. The human mercenary group has over a thousand people, and there’s also a mid-silver level strong player!”

“Damn!”

“Damn!!”

“So strong? This… isn’t a task for just one or two small teams!”

“So… the task reminder is telling us to team up…”

“Seems like it’s a large-scale team battle again. Let’s get on the major battle voice channel and wait for the notifications from the three major guilds.”

“The major battle voice channel?”

“Yes, it’s a voice channel that the first and second test players opened, specifically used by Brother Mu for commanding major battles.”

“Impressive…”

…

Outside Black Dragon Castle.

Li Mu, who brought the players of the Nature’s Heart Guild to assist, also saw the task reminder.

“Chasing the mercenary group… It’s another group task similar to attacking the Half-Beast Tribe.”

Li Mu looked somewhat serious.

“But this time there’s a task time limit, 24 hours… It’s quite tight. On Blue Star, that would only be six hours!”

Beside Li Mu, Gu Gu Niao, the vice president of the Mengmeng Committee, was checking the mini-map while sighing.

Li Mu nodded and turned to ask,

“Where are Little Xian Miao and the others now?”

“Northeast direction, about five kilometers away. However, the human mercenaries are already packing up their things and seem to be planning to leave overnight.”

“Which direction?”

“They should keep moving along that northern road.”

Gu Gu Niao replied.

“That means they’re heading to a human nation. I interacted with some recently returned elf NPCs and asked them about the northeast. There’s a large human empire over there called the Holy Mania Empire. The livestock that Mairrel brought back before was purchased from the empire’s border.”

A deep, hoarse voice suddenly interjected.

Li Mu and Gu Gu Niao turned around and saw that it was the Guild Leader of the First Legion, Fried Tomato with Eggs.

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

It was well known throughout the server that there was a conflict between Li Mu and Fried Tomato with Eggs.

Additionally, the two guilds often had frictions.

However, after a short silence, Li Mu still nodded at Fried Tomato with Eggs.

Fried Tomato with Eggs also nodded slightly.

Perhaps there had been grudges between the two guild leaders,

but in the face of a major battle, they still knew how to cooperate…

“Elf Kingdom” is quite different from previous online games.

At least… the official doesn’t encourage internal strife among players, but rather encourages their cooperation.

Seeing the two people getting along reasonably well, Gu Gu Niao, the vice president of the Mengmeng Committee, breathed a slight sigh of relief and added,

“Holy Mania Empire… It should be a new map that’s not open yet. According to the task description, we can’t let the mercenaries leave the existing map range, which is a diameter of three hundred kilometers.”

“That means… we must pursue them.”

Fried Tomato with Eggs smiled.

“Little Xian Miao said the mercenaries are carrying a lot of goods, and their speed isn’t fast. If we chase with all our might, we can still catch up. Not to mention… many people now have magic pets, especially Earth Cave Spiders. They’re fast at night and can launch surprise attacks!”

Gu Gu Niao said.

Li Mu nodded and turned to ask,

“Gu Gu Niao, how many people can your guild deploy? Those who can join the task.”

“Today just happens to be the weekend, and our guild currently has quite a lot of people online. Pulling in three hundred people shouldn’t be a problem, but maybe less than half are level 15 and above.”

Gu Gu Niao answered.

With the addition of third test players, the player count of the three major guilds that controlled the main resources had surged again, all breaking through over a thousand players!

Among them, the guild members of Nature’s Heart, which doesn’t have as high requirements for players, had surpassed two thousand, becoming the undisputed largest guild!

Of course, highly skilled players were still a minority.

After hearing Gu Gu Niao’s response, Li Mu turned to look at Fried Tomato with Eggs.

“The First Legion can bring at least five hundred, with at least three hundred level 15 and above!”

Fried Tomato with Eggs puffed out his chest a bit.

The First Legion almost exclusively recruited hard-core and combat players, and their combat strength had always been quite strong.

Li Mu nodded,

“Sounds about right. We, from Nature’s Heart, can also bring four hundred people, with nearly two hundred level 15 or above. That’s about twelve hundred people, with around six hundred over level 15. Then we can also shout out on the world channel, rallying players from smaller guilds and solo players… We should be able to gather around fifteen hundred or sixteen hundred easily.”

“Oh, and among the third test players, someone has formed a large guild with a thousand members. The guild leader is Transforming Ji Gang, and I already contacted him. He said their guild can also bring over two hundred people, though their levels are a bit low…”

“Looking at it this way, the numbers could be close to two thousand!”

After some rough calculations, the three guild leaders all felt a surge of excitement.

Two thousand people!

To be honest, after so many years of playing online games, they had participated in similar large-scale battles, but… not many involving more than a thousand people!

Moreover, the realism of “Elf Kingdom” was far beyond other online games!

After a few major battles, they knew that wars in “Elf Kingdom” truly felt like authentic warfare!

Li Mu took a deep breath and said,

“Let’s form a team, just like usual. All players who accept the task will form a large team! Hmm… Let’s just directly join Little Xian Miao’s team! Later, please transfer the team leader to me, and I’ll continue to command, okay?”

“Agreed.”

“Alright.”

The other two nodded.

Li Mu continued,

“Then, inform the players to join the major battle voice channel, and notify your guild members to flood the world channel with ‘Time-limited random task players, join the team quickly!'”

“Moreover… try to privately notify those leaderboard players who are offline. Whoever can come, let them come, and Boxed Lunch, the combat strength of their squad is equivalent to five teams!”

“Then, leave an hour for everyone to gather. Let everyone quickly gather at Black Dragon Castle through the teleportation array! One hour, whoever can come, let them come. Then, we set off to chase!”

“I’ll ask Demacia to find Divine Favored Ail to see if he can help deal with that single Silver Boss. Gu Gu Niao, see if your guild can find Divine Favored Zero and Black Dragon Mairrel. In short… bring whatever NPC support we can, to prevent failure!”

Hearing Li Mu’s words, Gu Gu Niao nodded,

“I’ll try, but… Zero is always elusive, and we might not be able to find her. As for Mairrel, knowing that Little Xian Miao was captured, she should help.”

Fried Tomato with Eggs thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea,

“Actually… I have another idea. We could have Mairrel take people ahead and set up a teleportation array in front of the mercenaries…”

“That can’t be done.”

Gu Gu Niao shook his head,

“Time is too tight, there’s no time to prepare the materials for a teleportation array. Also, a temporary teleportation array has its flaws. We didn’t notice before due to low levels, but after leveling up, using a temporary teleportation array consumes a lot, and the array can’t withstand too many teleports…”

“What about dismantling the existing ones? I remember the current teleportation arrays in each area seem to have been reinforced by the Goddess’s blessing.”

Fried Tomato with Eggs suggested.

Gu Gu Niao shook his head,

“No, after the Goddess’s reinforcement, those teleportation arrays can’t be moved anymore. Even if they could, players not participating in the task surely wouldn’t be willing.”

“Then forget it, the distance isn’t far anyway. As long as we have Little Xian Miao’s positioning, we’ll just chase them down directly. But… we can’t afford a resurrection battle this time; we must strive to wipe out the enemy in one go.”

Li Mu regretfully sighed.

…

After the senior players from the three major guilds had finished their discussions, they quickly took action.

No, it was no longer just three major guilds.

The fourth major guild, “Autobots,” established by Transforming Ji Gang, also began operations under Li Mu’s notification.

Players at level 11 and above, distributed in instances like Shadow Instance, Underground Forest, Black Rock City, Elf Forest northern areas, Feilengcui, Chosen City, and more, started rushing to Black Dragon Castle as soon as they received the notification…

Meanwhile, some houses in Chosen City, which had fallen into total darkness, lit up again. Some players who had gone offline logged back in, donned their gear, and left their homes.

Groups of high-level players riding Earth Cave Spiders headed to the teleportation point at Black Dragon Castle through the forest and streets, under the envious gazes of others…

For a time, the core area of Elf Forest suddenly became noisy.

And inside Black Dragon Castle…

“What? A group of dastardly human mercenaries just attacked Mairrel’s castle?!”

Looking at the bloodstains still on the ground in the castle hall, Little Black Dragon was very angry and flustered.

Without saying a word, it quickly scampered into the interior of its castle…

When it saw that its hidden treasures were intact, Little Black Dragon breathed a sigh of relief…

“Thank goodness! Fortunately… the treasures are still here!”

It calmed down a lot and wasn’t as furious.

“Right, what else is there?”

After a moment’s peace of mind, Mairrel continued to eat roasted meat while looking at Gu Gu Niao, who had rushed over, and asked.

Gu Gu Niao straightened his expression and said,

“Although those human mercenaries have left, they captured many of our people. We’re about to rescue them, Mairrel. The enemy is strong, and we need your help!”

“The Chosen Ones got captured?”

Mairrel was slightly stunned, then said indifferently,

“Why panic? You all can revive. Just suicide and come back.”

“Little Xian Miao was also captured. She said if you don’t save her this time, she’ll never prepare roasted meat for you again.”

Mairrel: …

Her dragon face changed,

“Where is she? Lead the way quickly!”
