Chapter 337: Chapter 315: The Implications of the Death Bell Tower

Da Fei was heading towards the location where he discovered the sewer, utilizing his Phantom March. However, the effects of Phantom March couldn’t cover the entire army; the troops that were obstructed by buildings and far away from Da Fei couldn’t be in a state of Phantom March, creating a sensation of being unable to manage both ends at the same time. In the end, Da Fei’s level was too low, and the hero’s abilities could only cover a limited area of the battlefield.

But it didn’t matter—Da Fei’s advantage now was in moving while the enemy remained still. He had five skill books awarded by Makar in his backpack; nothing else to say, he decided to learn Logistics Skill to increase mobility. After all, it’s a competition server, so whatever he did wouldn’t affect his account on the national server. Naturally, Master-level Logistics Skill was something he’d learn eventually, as it was a prerequisite for advancing to a Grandmaster Navigator.

Da Fei’s advantage wouldn’t last long. For professional players, it didn’t take long to consolidate their forces, and after 4 or 5 minutes of silence, the coordinates of professional players from various countries were spread like stars in the night sky on the simulation maps in the command centers of different countries, a vast net already set up. The next step was to close the net! As for how to deal with Da Fei’s decapitating units, it wasn’t a problem for professional players—they had their commanders walk close to the walls, especially the roots of narrow alleys. The vast size of a Ghost Dragon made it hard to attack targets by the walls.

At this moment, Da Fei received a message from Ma Yinglong: "Brother Fei, the foreigners have already consolidated. It’s best if Brother Fei avoids being discovered by them before we start the battle. Brother Fei’s Reconnaissance Skill level is high, right? Use this advantage to detect and avoid them in advance. Once discovered, they’ll lock you down and launch a multi-pronged attack, and then it will be a hassle."

More than a hassle—it’d be disastrous! Da Fei felt a pang of panic and quickly asked, "When will you start the battle?"

Ma Yinglong laughed and said, "We’ll start once our forces have gathered! At that point, we’ll focus on the scattered, which will allow us to dictate the battlefield. Then Brother Fei can fish in troubled waters."

Da Fei nodded, "I see!" Brother Fei couldn’t meddle in matters of professional players—self-preservation was the priority now. With his God-level Reconnaissance Technique combined with basic Treasure Appraisal, he could see further than ordinary players even without a Flying Eagle. He could see them, but they couldn’t see him, especially since his troops were in a semi-Phantom March state.

At this moment, a bell rang throughout the battlefield’s sky!

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre occupied the Death Bell Tower. You received a competition reward of 10,000 Gold Coins and acquired the right to recruit Stone-statue Gargoyle Watchers. Note: The gold coin competition reward will be sent to your account in your region after the competition ends.

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre recruited a Stone-statue Gargoyle Watcher. You acquired partial battlefield visibility.

—Stone-statue Gargoyle Watcher: Born within the Bell Tower Time Rift, this is a small spiritual creature with 6 Attack, 20 Defense, 6–9 Damage, 5 Attack Speed, 50% Magic Resistance, 90 Health, 0 Command Value, Recruitment Gold: 0, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Advanced Defense Skill, Petrification, Area Surveillance. (Note: This unit is a special unit for competition use. The Command Value and Recruitment Gold are both zero, no tactical position required, and it can provide area surveillance only in a petrified state. If the player also possesses Defense Skill, this unit will further reduce damage by 30% in addition to the player’s skill damage reduction.)

—Battlefield Information: China Region player "Da Fei" occupied the Death Bell Tower...

Seeing a sudden flood of information on the screen, Da Fei was startled. It turned out it was another one of his good deeds!

At the same time, a distant shadowed area on Da Fei’s map lit up with a lighthouse, making the surrounding area bright. It was precisely that high tower he had just discovered! Damn, it turned out that tower was a battlefield facility, and he hadn’t noticed it! He wasn’t as capable as his independently conducting, out-of-control vice hero!

Da Fei immediately zoomed in, and indeed, saw atop the tower stood a stone monkey with a pitch-black body, bat wings, and a long tail! So this was a Stone-statue Gargoyle Watcher? Though completely on a different level than the Mage Academy’s second-level soldiers, what was up with these extreme attributes?

The Attack and Damage were on the level of third- to fourth-level soldiers, magical and blood defenses were on the level of sixth-level soldiers, and then there was the agonizingly slow 5-speed attack—bloody hell, even zombies found a unit slower than them! So what level was this Stone-statue Gargoyle considered? Fifth-level? Like a zombie, possessing Defense Skill—but it was advanced, which meant this unit’s role was a meat shield? A flying meat shield descending from the sky? Damn! This unit was awesome! Lame-legged zombies couldn’t compare!

The question was, what was the point of just one? Was it to act like a camera and reveal the map? Hahaha, a great way to reveal the map!

Da Fei immediately saw Deirdre’s troops stationed and defending at the bell tower, mixing surprise with delight! Finally, he could see them—his troops were no longer out of control!

—System Prompt: Sorry, the troops are currently on Independent Expedition status. Your commands cannot be conveyed.

Da Fei was suddenly stunned. What was going on? The Stone-statue Gargoyle had lit up the map and linked up, but why couldn’t he command them?

No, the connection wasn’t established! This was different from before! Could it be that his Blood Eagle was in the sky over the battlefield, equivalent to his avatar being in the sky over the battlefield, hence he could command? Meaning the Blood Eagle was essentially his avatar?

Just then, Da Fei received another message—no doubt, it was someone again coming to sing his praises, even though he liked listening to them, but he really wasn’t in the mood now!
