Join the ServerBeing wanted by the Alliance means we can never enter the main city again, never access the exchange, never visit the clothing store, never buy potions, and never use any function within the town.
This punishment is truly severe.
But fortune favors the bold! I refuse to believe there are impossible quests in this game!
After consulting the team members, I nodded and spoke with righteous indignation: “Understood. At this critical juncture for the survival of Ader Continent, we have no reason to back down!”
Hearing my words, Shermi gave me a look that clearly said, ‘I don’t believe that’s your real reason,’ but the atmosphere was tense, so she didn’t call me out.
“Can’t we request reinforcements?” I asked.
Aksiya shook her head. “Those pigs in the Alliance will drag this matter out for half a month before making a decision. Besides, I’m not sure if there are traitors like Shermi within the Alliance. If there are, our report might tip off the Demon Tribe or give them time to prepare. For now, we have to act first and report later.”
“Even if it means we will be cursed for all eternity.”
I couldn’t help but admire this woman.
And, for some reason, I saw a shadow of Yingning in her.
…Perhaps because they share a common trait—unyielding in the face of their beliefs.
“We follow your orders!” This time, I meant it sincerely.
“We follow your orders!” Yingning bowed to Aksiya.
“We follow your orders!” x3, Fortress Fairy had also returned.
We were all sincere. Even though we might be cursed, exiled by the Alliance, and live a life worse than death, seeing such a woman forge ahead for her beliefs, we had no reason to withhold our respect.
“Your task is to use the formation to seal the bell tower in the city center. That way, no one can ring the town bell to gather the adventurers, forcing the main city into defensive mode. If it were anywhere else, I could cut down any number of adventurers with a single sword strike. But Minos City is a border stronghold with a special formation that prevents me from doing so. Though those adventurers are weak, if they gather in large numbers, they can pose a threat to us.” Aksiya gave the order, and we expressed our understanding.
“The bell tower is crucial,” Xueli explained, picking up from Aksiya. “Once someone rings the bell, Minos City’s super forbidden curse magic formation will activate, entering defensive mode. This mode forces all adventurers within the city into siege defense—and it’s extremely annoying…”
Ahem, I mean powerful.
Xueli continued: “Once this mode activates, all adventurers within a thousand li can receive the summoning command and instantly teleport to Minos City for defense. When I was on the defending side, I never realized how useful this mode was. But now that we’re the attackers, I see—damn, it’s an overpowered black technology…”
Indeed! Only now that we are the attacking monsters do we understand how terrifying this mode truly is!
“Each of you stands at one corner, holding the crystals to form a pentagram. That will activate the formation.” Xueli handed us the formation crystals—yet another artifact-level item.
“The crystals can absorb 9 billion units of damage, lasting about three minutes. We will finish the battle within three minutes. If we succeed, Shermi dies. If the formation breaks after three minutes, we die—you, me, and Xueli.” Aksiya said.
“Do you all understand?”
We nodded solemnly: “We understand!”
“Then… let the battle begin!”
Without further ado, we were teleported to the foot of the city walls.
Time was too tight; we couldn’t afford a single second’s delay.
And so the siege began—we were attacking!
But there were still some necessary things to do. I opened a communication link to Jiangu.
[Jiangu: Hello? Wait… You again?]
“Huh?” What does he mean ‘again’? This is the first time I’ve actively contacted him!
[Jiangu: Are you that free?]
“No… Huh?”
I suddenly realized Jiangu was talking to someone else. On the other end of the line came the roar of thunder and a childish voice.
The childish voice was babbling angrily, shouting something like—’Dog thief Jiangu, die! Return my Little Flower’s life!’
Oh… it’s the ‘World’s Number One Beautiful Girl Assassin’ lady…
After about two seconds, the noise subsided.
[Jiangu: What is it?]
“Have you left Minos City?” I asked.
[Jiangu: We’ve left. Why?]
“Nothing.” I hung up without hesitation.
Then, I called Dongjun.
Dongjun’s impatient voice came through: [What is it? Spit it out!]
“Have you left Minos City?”
[Dongjun: We’ve left! Why?]
“Nothing, thanks, buddy!”
I hung up, not caring what Dongjun thought of being called ‘buddy.’
Great. Both the big guilds’ teams are out of the city. That reduces our pressure a lot. With those casual players’ damage output, we should be able to hold out for three minutes—but how did they withdraw so quickly? They were fighting just a few minutes ago. The execution of big guilds is really ** incredible!
We only need to hold out for three minutes. The rest depends on the two Saint-level powerhouses. So the mission isn’t as hard as imagined—just leaving it to fate. Let’s hope so!
Minos City hasn’t issued a wanted order against us yet, so entering the city was effortless. We walked through the streets without any obstruction.
But looking at the white snow on both sides of the road, we no longer felt any romantic sentiment—only a sense of nausea.
Obviously, if possible, Yingning and the others would never want to enter Minos City again. Walking on the city streets, maybe dozens of bugs are crawling on your feet, and you might unknowingly kick aside a few pale white bones without even realizing it. The mere thought of such a scene is terrifying.
Soon, we reached the city’s bell tower!
Given the scale and importance of this mission, if we succeed, it will absolutely be recorded on the first page of the history of Quest II!
Moreover, the mission rewards will definitely be enough for our casual team to defeat Sword Sweeping the World’s elite team! We will become the darlings of the Alliance, and our reputation with the three tribes will skyrocket!
“Formation, activate!”
One by one, pale blue barriers shot from the ground into the sky, reaching unknown heights. These barriers formed a pentagram, enclosing us and the bell tower. Each of us stood at a vertex, maintaining the barriers’ existence.
The war has begun!
Aksiya and Xueli instantly appeared in midair, directly above the city lord’s mansion.
“Shermi, get out here!”
An angry, clear female voice resounded throughout the entire city.
[Attention! Shermi has issued an order to all players in the city to ring the bell tower! You will be attacked at any moment!]
Before the system notification even faded, a fireball landed on our barrier.
