Chapter 2071: Chapter 691: Escaping with Tails Between Our Legs? Hah, Who Do You Think We Are! (Part 2)

One has to say, this plan is very extreme, but also quite thrilling.

Given that our current position is confirmed to be untenable, going there to join forces with them might lead to a spectacular counterattack, and perhaps even save the day.”

“No wonder you are Lord Qin, I like this hot temper, never let a grievance go unanswered overnight, hehe.”

Meow Brother also appreciates this plan.

But Old Qu in their team immediately raised a detail question. While feeding fresh meat to the hawk pet on his shoulder, Brother Qu said:

“Hold your horses, initiating a Star-world Tear requires an energy medium.

You remember during the decisive battle at the Andma Hills, even when Lady Triss personally released the Star-world Tear, it needed the Core Crystal of the Nocturne Enchantment as a medium to store Spiritual Energy and break the barrier between the material world and the star realm.

That was in Transylvania, where our planar boundary had been shattered by heretics once before, making it quite weak.

However, the planar boundary here at Blackflame Mountain Pass is stable, and to initiate a Star-world Tear covering the entire position would require horrifying amounts of energy and mediums.

I know there is a Nocturne core at the Fortress of Courage, which Sir Morphy had sent before he was assassinated.

But one core is not enough!”

“There were two other Core Crystals at the previous site three.”

Beside him, Brother Black Silk rubbed his chin and turned to Orchid:

“Now this position is in such a dire state, I bet the Core Crystals are either recovered or lost in this wasteland. Did Lord Qin and the others take them when they left?”

“Probably not? They seemed to have left in a hurry.”

Meow Brother shook his head and said:

“Hold on, I’ll log off and call Old Stick to check the situation.”

With that, this society man eager to witness a grand spectacle logged off temporarily, and the news of heading to the Fortress of Courage to assist Old Qin in launching a counterattack quickly spread among the newbies. Though their strength was average, they were all fun-lovers, and they had fought against the wolf people on this ground with blades.

Though they might not have much affection for Blackflame Mountain Pass, seeing the place they once fought being destroyed like this stirred anger within the quick-tempered fellows.

Some clever newbies, upon seeing the destruction here, immediately realized that the main quest of Black Disaster might be heading for a major twist, and perhaps they could facilitate this turn.

Isn’t the Black Disaster battle supposed to be staged?

The outcomes of the previous stages directly affect the progression of the story in the later stages.

If they manage to pull off something big here, they might even earn the nickname “Transia Hero” to flaunt around, after all, who wouldn’t want that cool and fragrant Chainsaw Sword?

“Seems like you’ve made up your mind to head to the Fortress of Courage. Even though I don’t understand how you plan to counterattack, maybe my imagination is just poor, but I suppose there’s nothing that can stop you anymore.”

Upon hearing the players’ fervent discussion, Natalie recalled the “NPC-profession ethics” imparted to her by Murphy, and before leaving, she took down her weapon case slung behind her and handed it to Lady Shui, who was most closely connected to the Avalon Church among them.

She said solemnly:

“My friend, Lady Shui. I’ve witnessed your efforts in aiding the reconstruction of Avalon Church in recent times.

Previously, you walked the path of healing, and the weapon in my hands was not suitable for your choice. But upon hearing your change of heart to embark on the path of the White Knight, I can finally hand over the Sacred Blade we obtained together to you with a clear conscience.

Take this Green Gale!

May you use Avalon’s arrows wisely and protect those things you’ve sworn to protect!”

“Me?”

Lady Shui was shocked by Natalie’s sudden generosity.

She was one of the two players with the highest status in Avalon Church, and she knew better than ordinary players the significance of these 150 Sacred Blades to Avalon Church.

She knew that, upon retrieval, complex task chains would be arranged to determine the final owner, but she hadn’t expected this group of NPCs to be so straightforward.

Normally confident, Lady Shui found herself somewhat lacking in confidence at this moment.

Looking at the weapon box handed to her, she hesitantly said:

“I won’t hide it from you, Lady Natalie, I wanted to walk the path of the White Knight not because I found something I must protect in this world, but simply… I simply grew tired of being protected and wanted to try fighting.

I might not be suitable…”

“Then go find it!”

Natalie was eager to return to the rear camp to lend a hand and seeing Lady Shui so evasive, the straightforward Huntress devilishly thrust the weapon box into Lady Shui’s hands and said solemnly:

“If you can’t find a target to protect, then go search for it; if you don’t want to be protected anymore, go fight! I can tell you many stories and maxims to explain it is all Avalon’s will, but I bet you won’t buy this soul-stirring talk.

So I’ll speak plainly to you, Lady Shui.

Apart from you, no one else here has the qualification or caliber to wield such a Sacred Blade at this stage of power. Do you understand my point?

After all, we are a faith-based organization.

Maybe you are not its perfect owner, but look at everything around you, if you still want to fight, then you need a good weapon!
