Although on the surface they had already joined the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s camp, it was evident that the natives knew the players’ temperaments very well, and they could turn hostile in the blink of an eye.
For safety reasons, no player was allowed to enter the city with their armies. They had to stay in specific areas outside the city under supervision.
The four players first stationed their thousands of troops outside the city before proceeding through the city gates.
As soon as they entered, they noticed a massive breach in the south city wall, spanning one to two hundred meters wide, and their expressions turned baffled.
“Damn, did this wall take a nuclear blast? It broke open such a huge hole.”
They hurriedly came here without stopping as soon as they received the reward offer from the Kingdom of Bass. They had crossed mountains and forests on their journey and hadn’t had the chance to explore the local communities, so they were unaware of the exact situation in this area. Their only knowledge was that the Kingdom of Bass had launched an attack here two days ago, but it had been repelled.
Looking at the enormous breach in the wall, which allowed an unobstructed view of the distant ocean, all four of them couldn’t help but admire the defense of Feiguang City. Even with the wall in such a state, they had managed to hold it.
However, after a brief moment of admiration, they began to think about how to find their bounty target.
“Boss, Feiguang City is so large, with a population of several hundred thousand at least. How can we find a player named Ji Chen among so many people?”
The player known as the boss pondered for a moment. “Since that player was targeted by the Bass Kingdom’s bounty, it’s likely that he did something during the defense of Feiguang City a couple of days ago that angered the Bass Kingdom. He might have gained some reputation here.
In that case, why don’t we simply ask the natives here?”
The other three suddenly realized and nodded.
“Boss, you’re brilliant! Your thinking is crystal clear!”
“Indeed, Boss, you’re outstanding!”
Hearing the praise from his three subordinates, the boss player felt a sense of satisfaction and confidence.
“Alright, let me show you my excellent information-gathering skills!”
Under the admiring gazes of his three subordinates, the boss player confidently approached a female native and greeted her with what he considered an elegant bow.
With what he considered a confidently charming smile on his face, he calmly said, “Hello, ma’am, I’d like to ask…”
“Don’t block my way; I’m busy!” The female native glanced at him disdainfully and walked past him from the side.
This Glory player had a scruffy beard and an appearance that gave the impression he wasn’t a particularly pleasant character.
The scruffy-bearded player was speechless.
What the f*ck with that attitude? Are you looking down on me?
Once 1 collect the bounty, 1’11 make you understand what “retribution” means!
While cursing inwardly, the scruffy-bearded player forced a smile on his face and, with thick-skinned determination, walked up to another native resident.
“Brother, I have a question for you.”
This native resident was relatively friendly and stopped.
“Do you know if there’s someone named Ji Chen in Feiguang City?”
The native resident glanced at them and said, “You must have just arrived and don’t know what happened in Feiguang City two days ago, right?”
The scruffy-bearded player blinked and nodded, “Yes, but what does that have to do with my question?”
“It’s quite relevant. The person you’re asking about saved the entire Feiguang City from the clutches of the Bass Kingdom’s army two days ago.”
All four players were stunned, and they exchanged incredulous glances. The surprise in each other’s eyes was evident.
What?
Saved the entire Feiguang City?
Seeing their bewildered expressions, the native resident’s eyes held a trace of reverence. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he continued.
“Let me tell you, at that time, Feiguang City was besieged and attacked by a massive army of 100,000 soldiers from the Bass Kingdom, along with a formidable steel fleet…”
As the native resident described the situation at that time, the players’ expressions went from surprise to astonishment, then from astonishment to shock, and finally from shock to fear.
The situation seemed quite different from what they had imagined.
“That’s roughly how it was. Lord Ji Chen is the savior of our entire city. It’s hard to believe that he is a Glory Lord. If all the other Glory Lords could do even one percent of what he did…”
As they watched the native resident walk away, the four players were left with complex emotions.
They had never expected that the player named Ji Chen had accomplished such an earth-shattering feat.
Leading an army to ambush the Eighth Fleet, capturing its fleet commander, and then using artillery fire to deal with the attacking enemy forces, driving giant waves to engulf thousands of retreating soldiers.
Single-handedly reversing the situation that was originally destined for defeat and the city’s fall.
Even just listening to the story, they could sense the grandeur and epicness of that moment.
No wonder the Bass Kingdom had gone crazy, offering a bounty of five million gold coins, one million rare items, and ten equally valuable treasures. Who wouldn’t hold a grudge after that?
Besides admiration, jealousy also began to rise within them.
Motherfucker, you are a player like us, so how could you single-handedly confront an army of 100,000?
Such a terrifying achievement made them question everything.
“Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue looking for him?”
“Look? Look for what?” the scruffy-bearded player cursed. “Are you seeking for death? We can’t possibly touch someone with such terrifying power.”
“So, are we leaving now?”
“Of course! Do you want to stay here and play in the mud?” The scruffy-bearded player replied irritably, but then he noticed a handsome and extraordinary-looking man standing not far away, seemingly appearing out of nowhere..
