168: The Raid Was on! The Raid Was on! Fresh Cooldowns, Main Tank Ready, Looking for Strong DPS! No Healers Needed!

"What a spectacle! What a spectacle!"

Niu Niu was still worked up.

It was probably because Murphy, carrying the Core Orb, had reached the Andmar Hills. After being "disconnected" for two days, he had finally reestablished contact between his Calculation Orb and the upper-level node. Support from his "family" had sent his confidence soaring!

The notification for that murderous-looking war mission had lit up on his end, too. And besides that, Niu Niu, a little player in a special area, had triggered a hidden mission from Murphy:

Hidden Mission: "The Road to a New Life" has been triggered!

Mission Details: Use the map coordinates provided by the Calculation Orb and Core Orb to lead the White Oak Warband into Transia as quickly as possible and meet up with the reinforcements led by Lord Murphy.

Mission Objective: The mission is considered a success if at least 60% of the warband remains when its retreat ends. For every additional 10% of survivors, you will receive one advanced reward.

Basic Mission Reward: Standard Commander-grade "Family Guard" armor piece ×3.

Advanced Mission Reward: Blood Eagle family warrior chest key ×1.

Notice!

This mission carries an extremely high risk. Testers are advised to prepare for the worst.

Notice!

This mission can be shared with up to 10 people.

"The time has come to risk it all for a fortune! If I play my cards right this time, I can pretty much get my endgame gear for this stage."

Niu Niu's eyes had lit up the moment he saw the mission rewards. Without wasting a second, he logged onto the forums and posted:

"High-difficulty hidden mission triggered! Main tank ready! Recruiting DPS, healer, and off-tank for mission group. Black Iron Trialists, reply 1 to join! Screenshots included!"

The post went viral within minutes. Niu Niu had
