1130 A Gang

"The barbarian race! It's the barbarian race!"

"Engage the enemy!!"

Cheng Jiqiang raised the big sword in his hand and rushed forward with his comrades. At the same time, he was anxiously looking for Her Highness Mingyue's figure among the barbarians.

"Go! Think of a way to find Her Highness!"

In the blink of an eye, the humans and barbarians collided with each other and were caught in an intense crossfire.

Ed and the other players followed behind the human team.

Seeing this scene, the players couldn't help but feel a little scared.

It was too dangerous!

Fortunately, they did not take the initiative to join the Empire's side as the main force in the mission. Otherwise, they would be the ones fighting the barbarians now!

This mission was indeed a scam!

But...

Whose side was the mastermind behind all this?

Wasn't he on the same side as Her Highness Mingyue?

What was going on now?

Did they break up or something? It's fine if they broke up, but why did he have to kill his ex?

The more Ed thought about it, the more his head hurt.

He squinted his eyes and focused on the battlefield, trying to find the missing Tang Mingyue.

However, he could not find her!

Not only was Tang Mingyue nowhere to be found, but there were only two treasure chests left out of the more than 20 treasure chests that he had seen Tang Mingyue's team transport.

"Commander, something's not right," one of the players said softly. "Her Highness Mingyue doesn't seem to be here."

"Yes," Ed thought. He whispered, "Don't worry too much. The Empire's situation isn't good. We need to protect ourselves and be ready to escape at any time. Don't die here."

Just as they were talking, Sarwen rushed over from behind.

He walked to Ed's side anxiously and whispered, "Commander, we've found out about the other party's background."

Ed's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who is it? "

"It's the Central Federation."

"Oh?"

"My friend asked around, but the specific information is not clear. It's a secret project set up by the Central Federation two years ago, and the name of the project is 'Elegy'. The barbarian game world is also one of the projects. The project involves the Federation's secrets, so we can't find out the specific details."

"We've just been trying to get in touch with the peripheral personnel of Project Elegy."

"At first, they used the excuse that the project was still in preparation, but my friend forced them to say that they already had the relevant plans and were in the process of executing them."

"I told them that I already know what they're doing in the game," said Sarwen in a low voice. "I also intend to cooperate with them and make it convenient for them."

"From the initial response of the Central Federation, it seems that they are willing to cooperate. However, several leaders of the project are not present for the time being, so they cannot give an accurate reply."

Ed squinted his eyes and thought, "So that's how it is."

It turned out to be a special project of the Central Federation. No wonder the enemy was so powerful.

As for the absence of the project leaders, it was normal.

They were still controlling everything in the game, so they naturally wouldn't stay offline.

Ed thought that he had understood everything. He patted Sarwen's shoulder and praised him, "Good job, Sarwen."

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"Hmm, bide our time and think of a way to make contact with the other party."

In the distance, Fang Heng and the others were hiding in the dark, carefully observing the two sides of the battle.

"Where's Mingyue? Why don't I see her?"

"She has other matters to attend to, so it's not convenient for her to show her face. She's temporarily in hiding." Fang Heng explained briefly, "She will meet us later."

Mikhael looked at Fang Heng in silence and did not answer.

He thought, "So, you guys took the stolen goods from the Empire together? Forget it, it was better not to add more pressure on Wei Tao in this situation."

Ignorance was bliss.

"Alright." Wei Tao didn't think too much and looked toward the direction of the battle. He asked, "Fang Heng, everything is going according to your plan. The Empire has discovered the barbarian camp and both sides are fighting. The barbarian side doesn't seem to be very strong."

"Yes." Observing the battlefield, Mikhael nodded and said, "That's right. Don't think that the barbarians have the upper hand for now. This is the center of the Empire. If the barbarian camp is discovered in the underground area, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming. It is a good choice to help the Empire now."

"No, don't be in a hurry. Let's wait and see."

"Yes."

Wei Tao agreed and continued to observe.

The difficulty of the follow-up mission triggered by the optional mission was at least SS-level, and it was a forcibly triggered mission. The penalty for failure was extremely severe.

Based on this, it was possible that uncontrollable dangerous events might occur if the barbarian camp was discovered by humans in advance.

Therefore, Wei Tao followed Fang Heng's suggestion and tried to avoid risks.

Instead of actively triggering a mission, he tricked the humans into discovering the barbarian camp.

However, no one could say for sure what would happen in the end.

In the face of the unknown, it was never wrong to be cautious.

The two sides fought for less than ten minutes, and the Empire's follow-up support team quickly arrived to join the battlefield.

The situation was more unfavorable for the barbarian race.

The Empire's mages played a huge role on the battlefield.

Under the command of the Empire's commander, the human army got into formation and gradually controlled the situation, slowly devouring the barbarian's living strength.

It seemed that the barbarians could not hold on for much longer.

"Not good, you guys look!"

With his sharp senses, Mikhael sensed a powerful aura approaching. His heart sank, and his eyes shifted to the back of the battlefield.

In the distance, a pitch-black figure was rapidly approaching the barbarian's rear.

It was the demonized barbarian!

The demonized barbarian's entire body was covered in black rhomboid spikes. He was running rapidly into the dark underground world like a ghost!

Whoosh!

The demonized barbarian attacked from the right side of the barbarian team. He pushed his hands forward at the same time.

The blackthorn crystal quickly condensed into a black crystal ball in front of him.

"BOOM!!"

The black crystal ball exploded!

The dense blackthorn crystal dust formed a black crystal dust storm, madly rolling towards the Empire army.

The Empire commander saw this and shouted, "Be careful! Get into formation!"

The soldiers of the Empire in the front row raised their shields at the same time, trying to block the storm of black crystal dust.

"Thump thump thump!!"

The crystal dust landed on the shield, creating fine dents!

The crystal dust scattered, and the soldiers in the front row raised their shields to block it. However, there was too much crystal dust, and many fine crystal dust spikes passed through the gaps of the shields and entered the bodies of the soldiers in the back.

"Bang! Bang Bang!!"

Then, a series of muffled explosions sounded!

Once the crystal dust pierced into the skin and came into contact with the blood, it would explode!

The injured parts of the Empire's soldiers were instantly torn open, and blood flowed out.

In just one wave of attack, the Empire's shield-wielding guards in the front row suffered heavy losses, and a large number of them had lost their combat ability.

"Wangnet? Why is he here..."

Ed and the others who were following behind the Empire army had an idea.

One of the successors of the barbarian leader, Wangnet.

For a long time, Wangnet had been known for his bravery among the barbarians, and he had caused great trouble for the Empire in the battles.

He even had the ability to enter Tier 3 of demonization.
