Decapitation Operation

"Boss, shall we continue?"

War Soul King glared at the player who asked the question, "Continue my ass! We've wiped out three waves already. I think this Death Knight is up to something; he uses different skills every time. We're going to lose a lot of money if this continues. Let's retreat."

Because equipment might drop during dungeon battles, if you're not confident when tackling a dungeon, you often start by using store-bought gear to get by. Once you figure out the boss's skills, you switch to your best equipment and beat it in one go. However, this Death Knight uses different skills every time, and although we wiped three times, we still couldn't get past the second phase. Continuing like this is obviously not worthwhile, since store-bought gear isn't cheap either.

"Let's withdraw and develop in another area. Let's go back to the city first!"

After saying that, he led the way out of the instance.

The dungeon that Glory War Soul Guild is currently attempting is being raided by several other guilds simultaneously due to the activation of the visual system. Since everyone is in competition, they are all paying close attention to each other's movements. Glory War Soul Guild' withdrawal has provided a clear view for other guilds' substitutes outside the dungeon, immediately attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

"The Glory War Soul has left the dungeon? Returned to town? That doesn't make sense. It's only 8 PM, what's going on? Tell the guys in town to keep a close eye on them and see what they're up to."

Similar instructions were issued by several guild leaders, and they soon received their responses.

The main force of the Glory Guild, totaling over a hundred people, boarded a ship bound for Menethil Harbor to transfer to the Kalimdor.

"Is it some new dungeon they've discovered in the middle of the night? We need to keep up." With similar thoughts in mind, some scouts were dispatched to these ships by the leaders of several guilds, and they sailed out of King's Harbor's Port.

Jing Wuming also soon learned that War Soul King and the others had set off.

However, since the map of the game Sky World is very large, even if he set off immediately by ship, it would take at least until daytime tomorrow to reach the waters near Lost Island. Therefore, Jing Wuming was not in a hurry. He saw that there was still time and wanted to continue to increase his reputation. Unfortunately, after wandering around the camp for a while, he could not accept any quests and could only quit the game in frustration.

The reason Xiao Yu didn't assign tasks to these players wasn't because there weren't enough tasks available; he could issue more tasks whenever he wanted.

His strategy was to create scarcity. If the tasks could be received and completed at any time, it would easily give players the illusion that they didn't need to rush and could be done slowly. Xiao Yu didn't have that much United States to waste, so he decided to stop issuing tasks to encourage adventurers to be more proactive in completing them the next day.

Besides, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood, so letting these adventurers rest will be more beneficial for tomorrow's mission.

After midnight, most of the players in the camp logged off. Only a few night owls who didn't have to work the next day stayed behind, hunting down lone monsters around the camp, but they didn't dare go too far.

Because the game Sky World is synchronized with the real world's time, leveling up and fighting monsters at night is very dangerous. So, in a sense, it has helped many players break their bad habit of staying up late.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yu could finally move to another spot. He had been playing the role of an NPC and standing on that platform for a whole day, giving out quests to adventurers. It was quite boring, actually.

He called all his men together.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Alright, everyone, give your reports. How was today's harvest?"

The various task bosses then released their respective results.

It must be said that the situation was extremely promising throughout the day, not just good, but excellent. The resources recovered were enough to build a Primal Pool to start producing water elementals, and at the same time, the Ice Palace could be constructed. This meant that Hydra City would have the ability to mass-produce Water Elemental, sea elementals, ice elementals, and other combat units. What Xiao Yu needed to do next was to expand resources, accumulate troops, and develop slowly.

Hydra City, as a level 4 city, should be able to accommodate an army of 10,000 if all buildings are constructed. As for upgrading the city, the resources required are too great, so we won't consider it for now.

Besides the rare materials, nearly ten thousand Naga were wiped out today. These Naga don't respawn after being killed, meaning that nearly one-tenth of the island's Naga army was wiped out in one day.

All Xiao Yu paid for this was some blue and green equipment produced by murloc artisans, as well as some marine specialties such as murloc babies and turtle mounts. Since it had only been a day, most players didn't have many Immortal Emblem. However, he hadn't lost a single epic weapon he had left with Wotkud. But the next two might not be so lucky. As his reputation increased, those epic weapons would definitely be bought up.

It's worth quite a bit of money, but compared to what you get, it's still a huge profit.

No wonder the Defias Brotherhood so wealthy back then; running an organization is definitely better than going it alone.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Alright, everyone, go wash up and go to bed. More adventurers will arrive tomorrow. The Hydra and the Siren are ready. Bring as many as they come to the island. But make sure they're Alliance or Horde ships. Alliance ships are ours, and Horde ships are for Song of the Ocean. Also, get the construction of Hydra City going. Have Poseidon and the others train more Water Elemental Legion for me as soon as possible."

"As you command, my lord," all the NPCBOSSes replied.

"Don't worry, boss, just watch." This was naturally a player's reply. Besides the veteran player "Big Water Cunt," Xiao Yu's player bosses included Poseidon, Water Water Makes You Healthier, and Beautifully Freezing, among others. However, since these names clearly indicated they were players, Xiao Yu didn't feel comfortable bringing them all over, so they stayed in Hydra City to work on development.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu also went to find a place to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Yu woke up very early. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a group of players standing in front of him, eagerly waiting.

In the distance, one could occasionally see the white glow of players logging in. Xiao Yu thought to himself, "These guys are really diligent. I need to work harder too."

As I was thinking about it, I typed an exclamation mark.

Jing Wuming was the first to step forward. "Greetings, Lord. Is there anything I can do for you?" He looked at the player in front of him, a level 43 assassin whose equipment seemed quite strong. He remembered this player; he was the first to accept the mission yesterday, always working alone and completing it very quickly.

"Perhaps we can start issuing the next phase of the mission," Xiao Yu thought.

Yesterday, he issued a reconnaissance mission every so often, so he had a clear understanding of the situation outside the camp. The Naga near the Cape of Tides camp had been almost wiped out. Next, they would have to venture deeper into the island. However, yesterday they only killed the minions, and there were very few elites. Starting today, they would have to target the bosses.

In the eastern part of the Lost Island, there are four large Naga camps: the Wavetreader Camp, the Tidecaller Camp, the Shark Rider Camp, and the Turtle Tamer Camp. Behind these four camps lies the Naga city of Yarvis City, and the Naga Temple is built behind Yarvis City. The entire island is shaped like a crescent moon, with a beach on one side and a cliff overlooking the sea on the other. Therefore, to conquer the Naga Temple, Yarvis City must be taken down first. To take down Yarvis City, the four Naga camps must be eliminated one by one. Yesterday, he mainly targeted the Naga surrounding the Wavetreader Camp, which is Cape of Tides. After a day of continuous attrition, the adventurers had almost wiped out the mobile forces in the Wavetreader Camp. Now, only the camp's boss and its elite troops remain. These elite Naga troops are basically stationary in the camp and won't move, so there are almost no patrolling Naga outside the camp. Therefore, the next step is to deliver the final blow to the Wavetreader Camp.

There are currently no more than two thousand Naga remaining in this Wavetreader Camp, but they are all quite elite. There are three hundred elite template Naga Waverider Warriors, several mini-bosses, the camp commander, and a high-level boss, Sidnis the Wavewalker (Naga Lord).

With Xiao Yu's current strength, he should be able to kill it with a full-force attack. However, Xiao Yu does not intend to do it himself. Why would he choose to take matters into his own hands when there is a readily available and free help? Only a fool would do that.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "In the nearby Naga camp, there is a Naga commander— Sidnis the Wavewalker —who commands the Naga soldiers in this area. Although your actions yesterday yielded some results, the Naga forces in this area cannot be completely eliminated unless this commander is removed. I will dispatch my capable subordinate Agnes to assassinate this Naga commander. If you are willing, you can join this operation to assist Agnes. This operation will officially commence at eight o'clock."

System notification: Elite mission 'Decapitation Operation NO1' has been triggered.

Mission Description: Follow Agnes to assassinate Sidney, the commander of the Wavetreader Camp, and bring his head back to report to the Water Elemental Lord Azathoth (Agnes must survive).

Mission Notes: This mission is on team difficulty; players are advised to attempt it in a group.

Elite mission? I have to accept it! Jing Wuming couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He had spent all day yesterday clearing daily missions, and today he finally had something interesting to do.

PS: I had some things to take care of these past two days, which caused the update time to be irregular and only two chapters a day. I apologize for that. However, things are all sorted out now, and I will start making up for it with four chapters a day starting tomorrow.
