Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Fooling the Centurion
This news is infuriating. Damn it! We were sleeping peacefully, it’s bad enough that you bring monsters in, add getting killed into the equation, but you even brought an Ogre. What the hell is going on?
What’s more disgusting is that, being captured by something like an Ogre, they can’t even resurrect until they are eaten. All they can do is wait in spirit form.
But damn it, it’s so late, the Ogre has already had dinner, so it would have to wait till tomorrow morning at least.
Moreover, without their bodies, they could only weakly resurrect and then wait for the weak period to pass before they can continue levelling up.
“This is too much!” Night Dance Overlord was shaking with anger. This was the time to level up. It was bad enough that they wasted time, but after being reborn, they went back to square one. There’s no telling how much time they would waste.
But there was nothing to do at this point. All they could do was wait in frustration.
“Let’s all go offline. We’ll regroup in the morning,” said Night Dance Overlord before logging off.
The rest of the team also had to hold their breaths, curse Li Yao a hundred times in their hearts before logging off. This battle had severely dampened their morale.
Of course, they were all hoping to run into Li Yao again and kill him. After all, in their view, Li Yao was one man, the hope of revenge was significantly high.
Li Yao didn’t care about their thoughts. He sat on top of a big tree and began planning his next steps.
If he only relied on himself, it would be impossible to complete this mission. He had to use external help.
Li Yao was not worried about getting the Touch of Darkness. The queen didn’t say, but he could sense that the Touch of Darkness was not in a state of complete mastery.
He figured it out. If the queen gave him something, it would not be precious, but because he cannot yet resist the backlash of such things.
Although he could not fully utilize this thing, just being able to control part of it made Li Yao very satisfied.
Naturally, he was not worried about others getting the Touch of Darkness. That’d be a death wish.
“In that case, why not do as the Romans do.” Li Yao thought for a long time, finally coming up with a plan.
Li Yao pulled out the video he had recorded and started editing. After finishing, Li Yao gave the video to Feng Yi.
“Find someone to upload this video. It’s best if it’s someone unrelated to Starfire.” Li Yao instructed.
“What is this…” Feng Yi looked at the video and said, frowning: “You know this is going to attract a lot of players. Won’t that affect you?”
“No worries, I can handle it.” Li Yao did not elaborate.
“This artifact is so important, we should involve the whole guild.” Feng Yi saw the NPC mention a Divine Artifact and naturally didn’t want to miss it. If it’s posted online, it will certainly go viral.
“No, the guild is at a critical moment in its development, and we only have three thousand people, which is not enough to fill the belly of an Ogre.” Li Yao dismissed this suggestion. It was joking, facing so many Ogres, Starfire guild was not enough.
Keep in mind, these Ogres saw them as a large group. They wouldn’t give them a chance to whittle them down.
“Okay, as long as you’re confident.” Feng Yi gave up on trying to persuade him.
“Don’t worry. In my video, apart from revealing information about the Divine Artifact, only a few traces are revealed. Regular players won’t guess it’s here, only powerful guilds will have a chance to come. Besides, there are so many Ancient God Maps, just based on a video, not many people will accurately determine the exact location. With this, the players coming will be strong, but I can handle it.”
“Okay, I’m going to find someone to upload it now.” Feng Yi finished and ended the call.
Meanwhile, Li Yao had already reached the outpost. The Centurion personally greeted him, saying, “Thank you, brave warrior, for rescuing so many of our clan members.”
“You’re too polite, Centurion.” Li Yao didn’t waste time and continued, “The Ogres will hold a sacrifice ceremony in three days, but my actions today may have alarmed the Ogres. It will be difficult to rescue them in the future.”
The Centurion’s face fell and he said, “I know, you’ve done your best.”
Li Yao waved his hand and said, “That’s not what I meant. Many new recruits like me will come over in the next two days. I want to remind the Centurion to remember to issue rescue commissions. After all, there is strength in numbers, right?”
“A lot of people?” The Centurion finally showed a hint of joy. “How many can there be?”
“It’s hard to say, but I guess at least several tens of thousands.”
There are so many players, just by posting a video to the forum, even if a small part comes over here, it’s not a small number.
“That’s great, really great. Friend, I really don’t know how to thank you.” The Centurion was so excited that his hands were shaking.
“You’re too kind,” Li Yao casually waved his hand and said, “By the way, I reckon you won’t stay here after the rescue. Do you have any plans on where you will go, like joining the princess?”
The Centurion shook his head and said, “We came here because we didn’t want to join the princess. Now we can’t stay here either, we still don’t know where to go.”
It took Li Yao quite a while to finally get to this point, and he said, “I do have a place actually. I’m not sure if you will like it.”
The Centurion was startled, “Which place?”
Li Yao said, “I have set up a small village on a sandbar. It’s a place where we can settle down. However, there are too few people in the village now. It could be a place for you to settle down temporarily.”
“The sandbar… at least it’s safer than here.” The Centurion’s expression was fluctuating, clearly hesitating.
“Indeed, you can live there temporarily, and you can move on when you have a clear destination. I won’t hold you back.” Li Yao said.
“Will we be too much of a disturbance?” The Centurion was tempted. True be told, he was reluctant to settle in an unfamiliar village permanently. But considering it as a temporary settlement, he might take that into consideration.
“Not at all, not at all. I need to train sailors and crew members, so I’d be counting on you, Centurion. Of course, the reward will certainly satisfy you. And since my village is under construction, as long as you have a skill or strength, it’s hard to say how much money can be earned, but three meals a day are definitely possible. Although you are temporary residents, you also have a place to play your skills, which counts as helping my village’s construction,” Li Yao said slowly.
“Okay, once I’ve rescued my people, I can take them to the sandbar. It’s just that there’s a vast sea in between.”
“Haha, don’t worry about that. My village is small, but we have large ships and various transport ships,” Li Yao said indifferently.
The Centurion was moved once again. A small village with such strength made him see the potential in Li Yao again.
If Li Yao said let them live richly or something else, he would be suspicious. He doesn’t believe in free lunch.
But Li Yao said, there were places where they could be used. They could train recruits and sailors, and ordinary people could use their own skills to feed themselves, which was what moved him.
Li Yao laughed contentedly and thought to himself, if you guys were in my territory, it would be too much of a failure if I let you leave…
