Online Game: Island War

Lei Jiu was not sure whether Weifeng Tangtang would transfer the Spear of Longinus to the Mermaid Empire with or without compensation.

But he was certain that he would not be able to hand over this artifact before he could guarantee that Huanghuang Island would not directly attack the mainland of Eternal Island.

Indeed, he had a strong desire to overthrow Huanghuang Island.

However, everything is based on the premise that Timeless Island can exist well.

So he will definitely wait.

Waiting for Huanghuang Island's Sky Island troops to arrive on Eternal Island, or waiting for accurate news that Huanghuang Island has indeed not sent troops.

The former, by gathering the combat power of all the island owners and players who agreed to help, and with the help of the Mermaid Empire, could allow the invading Huanghuang Island troops to return despite the difficulties, even if they were unable to severely damage them.

While successfully preserving the Eternal Island, it would be beneficial and harmless to Weifengdangtang to hand over the Spear of Longinus to the Mermaid Empire to completely eliminate Huanghuang Island.

For the latter, since it is certain that Huanghuang Island has not sent troops, they can just ask the Mermaid Empire to find trouble on Huanghuang Island.

Even if the Mermaid Empire failed to kill Huanghuang Island in one fell swoop, Lei Jiu would not waste time and effort to come to the Eternal Island in difficult times if he knew that the Spear of Longinus was in the hands of the Mermaid.

Although these are all guesses made by Lei Jiu himself, these are conclusions drawn from others' perspective and should be close to the same conclusion.

Lei Jiu didn't know if the Mermaid Empire had any suitable offensive artifacts, but they definitely didn't have an artifact like the Longinus Spear that could kill even the peak of the sacred beasts like the Four Elephant Sacred Beasts as long as there were enough sacrifices. of.

Otherwise, there would be no need to block the door of the Kunpeng clan?

It was no problem to directly bring countless cannon fodder and perform continuous sacrifices to destroy the Kunpeng clan.

After all, among the three top powers in the deep sea, the Mermaid Empire has the most territory and vassals.

Therefore, Lei Jiu must not let the Spear of Longinus fall into the hands of the Mermaid Empire. Otherwise, facing the mermaid empire with a large number of marine life, Huanghuang Island would be in real trouble.

Previously, Lei Jiu originally planned to let Jiu Ge continue to harass Weifeng Tangtang and destroy Eternal Island, hoping to force him to hand over the Gun of Longinus.

That's because he was right. Faced with Jiu Ge, who could be resurrected and was not easy to lock, Ming Mingtang would not be willing to sacrifice the population of his own island.

However, when he thought about the possibility of handing that artifact to the Mermaid Empire, he couldn't do it.

Robbery?

Lei Jiu shook his head, the chance of success was too low.

Steal it?

Hope is equally slim.

Like Huanghuang Island, most player island owners are very strict in reviewing adventurers' settlement applications. If you want to get close to the majestic residence, you can only be an adventurer who has settled on the Eternal Island, otherwise you will not even be able to enter the capital...

Thinking of this, Lei Jiu suddenly paused.

Because he suddenly realized something. Back then, Bihai Qingtian Island, where the elixir of life was held, had used Thunderbirds to send some adventurers and players to sneak into Huanghuang Island.

With a small number, even if Huanghuang Island wanted to dig out these people, it would be difficult to reach the sky.

He could follow suit.

Of course, to avoid alerting the enemy, Lei Jiu must find an expert to deliver it. It is best to succeed in the first attempt.

If the action is discovered once, the probability of subsequent success will be infinitely close to zero.

In fact, when it comes to candidates, Lei Jiu, who has learned a lot of talents through Wanhua skills and has passive abilities, is the most suitable.

These skills bring Lei Jiu more than just great strength.

Optical invisibility, shape mimicry, breath concentration, odor elimination, flight, etc. These abilities are very helpful in stealth operations.

In this era without high-tech anti-theft methods such as infrared detection,

Even in a more heavily guarded place, it may not be possible to find Lei Jiu.

It's just...as the island owner, if he really wants to put himself in danger, some of his subordinates will probably remonstrate him to death, right?

First look for candidates. If there is really no one he likes, he will have no choice but to go into battle in person.

Searching in memory for master adventurers who are good at completing such tasks, the one with the highest chance of success is the Phantom Troupe. As for other top adventurer groups such as the Zodiac, Heaven, and Underworld, firstly, they rarely undertake missions from outside. Second, in terms of this type of mission, they really seem to be no match for the Phantom Troupe.

He spoke to Shen Baiye and asked him to invite Chrollo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, to come and meet with him.

A few days later, Lei Jiu met the leader of the brigade.

It's just that...when Lei Jiu finished talking about the matter, Captain Chrollo seemed to mean to refuse.

What the other party meant was that they did not want to get involved in the dispute between players and island owners.

They usually only undertake NPC-oriented tasks for this reason.

After all, there are many connections between players, not only because Weifengdangtang was also a former customer of the brigade, but also because taking action against the island may cause conflicts with other adventurer groups.

Although the Phantom Troupe will not be afraid of any group of adventurers, they rarely take on missions that have a high risk of actively creating grudges.

It would be better if it were some relatively weak island owners. For example, the majestic Eternal Island itself has many adventurers and players who are seeking to make a living around this interest group. Chrollo is really unwilling to accept it.

Lei Jiu really didn't expect this, but he was not unable to deal with it.

The reason why the other party refuses is naturally because the other party can refuse the price you offer.

In fact, for the Phantom Troupe, using gold coins as mission reward is just that attractive to them now.

Lei Jiu's method is to increase the price, not to add gold coins, but to come up with something that is beneficial to the adventurer's personal strength. For example, the century-old sea heart lotus and the thousand-year jellyfish heart were given to Shen Baiye in exchange for famous general challenge cards.

Because it was never replaced, it finally returned to Lei Jiu's hands.

Take it out at this time, and combine it with some things that Lei Jiulu has obtained over the years, such as the potion that was extracted from the heart of the Beast King that can increase the strength attribute points by 20. I believe that the other party will eventually change his mind.

Things were indeed as Lei Jiu thought. After Lei Jiu brought out a certain amount of good things, Chrollo finally nodded and agreed to take on the task.

This time, all members of the Phantom Troupe will be dispatched to complete Lei Jiu's mission.

For this reason, Lei Jiu specially transferred a team of thunderbirds from Bihai Qingtian Island.

Of course, they would not choose to fly over from Huanghuang Island, as it would be too far.

The brigade will choose a player island in the central sea area, where they will wait for the Thunderbirds to join. These thunderbirds can fly faster without a camel.

These thunderbirds will be led by Jiuge after he confirms the route.

The reason why thunderbirds are used instead of dragons is of course because ultra-level beings are too easily exposed.

Watching Jiu Ge leave with a team of thunderbirds, Lei Jiu was looking forward to the success of the plan...
