Chapter 1312: A Forty Minutes Game Of Chance

“Rest?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire, who was standing beside Fearless, looked at the remaining time before asking, “It has already been three hours since the start of the quest… Can we even complete the quest if we really waste any more time resting?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire wasn’t wrong to doubt Fearless’ plan. After all, fifty thousand pirates in the city was not a small number.

Moreover, once the monsters turned into an establishment, they would become soldier monsters with formidable force. Their combined strength was not to be underestimated.

With only a thousand of them outside the city, they might not be able to capture fifty thousand pigs in a day, let alone kill fifty thousand pirates.

Captain Don’t Open Fire ‘hired’ the Quan Zhen Sect for help for a huge sum of money and no matter how wealthy he was, he wasn’t someone who could print money. Looking at the way Fearless strategised truly worried Captain Don’t Open Fire.

“Haha!”

In the face of Captain Don’t Open Fire’s doubts, Fearless snickered faintly, “A beard lathered is half shaved! We must have a code of conduct in dealing with this issue. Charging in blindly is never going to end well.”

“But…”

Captain Don’t Open Fire wasn’t going to accept a response like that in this situation. Everyone knew the logic but he had spent a large sum of money hiring them to get the job done. If the plan was so simple, he wouldn’t need to spend that much money hiring experts like the Quan Zhen Sect. He could probably hire others who will cost much lesser than them.

“No buts!” Fearless continued, “Forty minutes is more than enough for us to take care of these pirates!”

“Forty minutes?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire was dazed when he heard that. After a full ten seconds, he asked, “Boss Fearless, do you really think everyday is Sunday?”

Damn it! The city was filled with fifty thousand pirates who were all Level 50 elite monsters, not fifty thousand Level 1 wild dogs.

Even though the pirates did not hold the geographical advantage or had any kind of formation in place, it was still incredibly difficult for a mere one thousand of them to get rid of that many monsters within an hour.

Forty minutes? There were only two possibilities: Either his ear or Fearless’ brain was damaged.

“Why? Do you want to make a bet?”

Fearless asked when he saw how doubtful Captain Don’t Open Fire was.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was naturally not going to believe that Fearless could lead a thousand men to take down fifty thousand monsters within 40 minutes. Therefore, he responded, “Bet on what?”

“What do you have?” Fearless furrowed his brows and asked.

“Tsk…” Captain Don’t Open Fire hesitated for a while before replying, “Money!”

Twilight City’s City Lord was Wang Yu so the entire Twilight City was within the control of the Quan Zhen Sect. The Quan Zhen Sect was undoubtedly not short of equipment so the only thing Captain Don’t Open Fire had more than them was money.

“En! I agree with you!”

Fearless nodded, “If we can end the battle within 40 minutes, you shall double our compensation. If we fail, we won’t take a single penny from you. How about that?”

“I shall hold Boss Fearless accountable to this!”

Hearing Fearless’ condition, Captain Don’t Open Fire was pleasantly surprised. There were a total of 11 players in the Quan Zhen Sect and their compensation would amount to 110,000 gold which was not a small sum in the game.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was not concerned over this sum of money, but what kind of players did the Quan Zhen Sect have? To be able to get these fellas to work for him for free was an honourable matter. It was definitely going to increase his reputation.

Wealthy people were extremely particular about having a good reputation!

Captain Don’t Open Fire immediately agreed to Fearless’ bet.

Seeing how elated Captain Don’t Open Fire was, Fearless smiled and said, “I doubt Captain will intentionally get his men to not give their best just to save that little bit of money right?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly waved his hands to say, “No way! Absolutely no way! If my brothers do not give their best, you can consider that I’ve lost the bet.”

Captain Don’t Open Fire was an understanding man who could see the big picture. He knew that the bet with Fearless was merely a hedge in case the quest failed. Ultimately, completing the quest was still of the utmost importance to him.

Ending a war of this scale in 40 minutes was definitely a fantasy story for ordinary players. If Fearless could pull this off even within the hour, Captain Don’t Open Fire would still bow down to Fearless out of admiration.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was never going to offend a ruthless and capable man like Fearless over a small sum of money.

After all, spending 110,000 gold to watch an unprecedented war performance of this scale was more than worth it for Captain Don’t Open Fire.

…

In fact, even the other players from Quan Zhen Sect were shocked that Fearless made such a bet with Captain Don’t Open Fire, “Fearless Old Dog, are you for real?”

Fearless was making a bet with everyone’s pay so all of them felt the need to make Fearless reconsider his decision.

However, Fearless replied firm as ever, “Do you really think I’d joke about such stuff with others?”

“But there are fifty thousand pirates in the city while we only have one thousand of us? If we have one thousand Old Bulls, this might be more likely,” Vainglory argued.

“No need for that many!” Hearing Vainglory’s words, Wang Yu interjected and said, “Just ten of me is enough!”

If Wang Yu hadn’t said something like that, everyone still had that glimmer of hope. Once Wang Yu said that, everyone became even more emotional as they continued to make their point, “See that? Even Old Bull admits that it will take at least ten of him to clear these pirates. I doubt one thousand of these useless fellas can even take down one Old Bull.”

“There is no doubt about that. They will definitely not be able to take down Old Bull!” Fearless remained firm, “But that depends on who is the one commanding. If I am not at the helm, there is a chance they can defeat Old Bull.”

“So are you even confident to succeed?” everyone continued to question Fearless.

“Of course!” Fearless beat his chest and said, “I’ve never done anything that I’m not confident in.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Everyone shook their heads, “If Old Dog Fearless says something like that, we no longer hold much hope for our pay.”

…

With that many of them, time seemed to pass even faster than before. One hour flew by just like that.

Fearless looked at the time and gave his command, “Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect and those Assassins who knows how to fly, gather now!”

Commanding one thousand soldiers was not an easy task.

Fortunately, there were only a total of fifty Assassins who knew how to fly. In addition to the Quan Zhen Sect, there were only a total of sixty people for him to control. A squad of less than a hundred members was still relatively simple to take charge.

Very soon, those required gathered in front of Fearless.

Fearless took out his map and pointed to two marks on the mountain before saying, “These are where the pirates are hiding to ambush. There are over a hundred lookout pirates. Conceal yourselves and get rid of these pirates. That shouldn’t be a problem right?”

Their opponents were merely one hundred Level 50 elite monsters. Each one of them had to deal with less than two pirates on average.

All the players gathered here were elite experts who knew how to fly so a task like that was not going to be difficult for them.

After receiving Fearless’ instructions, everyone replied in unison, “Absolutely no problem!”

“Great!” Fearless continued, “Since that is the case, I’ll have to trouble everyone! Get going!”

Upon Fearless’ command, everyone flew upwards and towards Harbor City.
