Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1486: Defense Border Part 1

The monsters’ attack had come earlier than anticipated, taking them all slightly by surprise.

”It seems like their leading commander must have suspected something.” Kong Ming deduced.

Xu Feng nodded his head in agreement. He scanned around their surroundings carefully and spotted a few birds in the background.

At first glance, they appeared natural. But upon closer inspection, there were a few that were out of place.

”Hmph!” He snorted coldly and immediately launched a few javelin spears toward their direction.

Sure enough, the weird birds that he targeted immediately reacted way before the attack even launched.

”Still want to run?” He snickered and restricted their movement.

Swoosh!

With the bird’s movement restricted, the Javelin Spears pierced through the birds.

However, rather than a corpse, the bird quickly dissipated like how mana gets dispersed.

”A summoned creature...” Kong Ming’s eyes narrowed. To think he had made such a blunder and omitted the fact that they could be this cunning.

”It’s my fault.” Xu Feng pursed his lips. Because his desire to recruit Kong Ming was a lot, he failed to discover that their enemies had already been spying on them.

”No, the fault’s mine as well.” Kong Ming shook his head. Similar to Xu Feng’s desire, his own desire to secure a future for Bardmon City also clouded his judgment.

”Let’s not brood over these issues as to who’s at fault.” Xu Feng promptly suggested and approached the wall.

From a tall viewpoint, he could see that the soldiers were still busy transporting the debris to desirable places.

”The rocks haven’t been piled enough, but it should be enough to still do damage.” He commented.

”Indeed, we just need to narrow the scope a little bit.” Kong Ming shared the same insight and suggested lowering the range of the flood even further.

Would it affect their planning?

Yes, but that was just how real-time battle was!

Everything could be unexpected, and you would need to adapt to the new situation immediately.

”Let me enhance the soldiers now!” Xu Feng said and retrieved his Convergence Staff. Soon, he began buffing the soldiers, increasing their strength and agility.

The soldiers’ footsteps quickly felt light and nimble in their movement.

”Don’t admire the boost and get to work.” He warned them. This buff only lasted for a little bit over a minute.

”Impressive.” Kong Ming praised him. That kind of boost was even superior to those of high-quality buff potions.

Nevertheless, he didn’t let it distract him from beginning the pouring of water.

The water was all trapped in a specific design because a flood could only occur when it came crashing down simultaneously.

”Members of Vanguard Guild, listen up!” While Kong Ming occupied himself with the tedious task, Xu Feng beckoned for his members.

”We will now rush outside and be the Vanguard! We are to divert the monsters to the specific area listed on the map in your message. Is that clear?”

”Yes, Guild Leader!”

The members were beyond excited as this would be their first large-scale confrontation with the monsters in the very frontline.

They were usually forced to always defeat the small fry that managed to escape from the NPC main force.

However, this time, they actually got to lead the battle.

As Xu Feng raised his staff and pointed at the battlefield, nearly all the members charged forward without hesitation.

In the meantime, the two female anchors also joined in the tray.

They didn’t record Xu Feng specifically because viewers would only get bored if they got a lot of media attention. It was better to keep a mysterious air around them at all times to keep the viewers’ curiosity up high.

”Young Master, this is bad!” A subordinate barged open the door and shouted in a panic.

”This is like how many times already?” Edgar, who had seen his door being barged open countless times since Xu Feng arrived at their city, was speechless.

”Save the formality and speak your crap!” He hissed when he noticed the subordinate was about to salute and greet him.

The subordinate quickly nodded and explained the situation.

”Currently, the Divine News, which exposed our tax evasion and caused quite a stir, has begun another action.”

”The Divine News again?”

Edgar’s expression turned cold. He hadn’t been scolded by his father, but he definitely knew he had disappointed him dearly for the incident.

Tax evasion was not something one could easily get away with. Everybody frowned at it, and Edgar also understood this concept.

But then, the Divine World differed from the real world.

What kind of consequences could there be if they evaded taxes on a video game?

Games were meant to be a relaxation and allowed players to do whatever they wanted without needing the real-world restrictions.

”What about them?” Edgar scratched his head in annoyance. His father should have long given his word, so why would the Divine News make another wave?

Are they seriously not afraid of their retaliation?

Suddenly, Edgar paused for a moment and asked. ”Wait a second, is it the Divine News or is it those two ignorant anchors?”

He was also informed by his father that the two female anchors who reported their tax evasion in the Divine World had failed to receive the memo in time to stop the reporting.

By the time they received the memo, it was already aired, and nothing could be done.

”It is...” The subordinate smiled bitterly and began playing the video.

”Currently, those two female anchors started a livestream under their company logo and titled Defense Border Action!”

Edgar glanced at the video and was dumbfounded by the viewer count.

It only had 2 digits... but behind those 2 digits was a letter, M.

”2 million viewers??!” Edgar nearly lost his composure.

The video had only just begun a little over 15 minutes ago.

How in the world did it gain such a large number of viewers?

Could they have hired bots?

No, that wouldn’t even make sense!

The stream was conducted under the Divine World, so any form of botting was disabled and outright banned.
