When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 745: 258 Silent Court Charge, One Million A-Class Superpower Users! 【4.9k】_3
Because of this, Bai Fu dared to take on the task.
Her Second Awakening Task was still two targets short of completion.
One target was to accumulate Basic Inspiration to 5000, and the other was to defeat an opponent with an attribute exceeding 4000.
The former was easy, as she had already accumulated her Basic Inspiration to 4600 through Apostle's Path. The latter was now easy to achieve as well, as long as she defeated the commander of the Honorable Force.
The only problem was that she had to control the progress of the task.
If she defeated the Honorable Force before her Basic Inspiration reached 5000, she would be in danger, as she had not yet advanced to Dominator and could not withstand the Leader's assault.
"At least six months are needed."
Bai Fu gently rotated the staff in her hands.
Under normal circumstances, eliminating a terrorist organization like the Honorable Force could take six months or even one to two years. However, the Leader might not be willing to wait that long and would certainly leak some information detrimental to the Honorable Force midway to expedite the task process.
"The time has come to test my ability to adapt and respond."
...
Ten days later, the fleet of the Silent Court arrived within the territory of the Tem Civilization.
At the assembly point set by the Leader, Bai Fu met Steel Curtain and Marlon, whom she had worked with on previous tasks.
In addition to these two, the Leader had also hired many mercenaries with Catastrophe Level power; this time he was really playing the full game.
Before the action, at the pre-mission meeting, his teeth clenched and eyes bloodshot, as if the Honorable Force had killed his beloved family and friends. Many unaware participants were truly moved by his demeanor and loudly declared their determination to crush the Honorable Force.
To this, Bai Fu's attitude was, chuckling,
"Act, keep on acting!"
"Initially, I was planning to decline the Leader. But the moment I heard that Saintess Bai Fu had accepted the commission, I immediately agreed."
After the meeting, Steel Curtain and Marlon came forward, smiling and greeting Bai Fu.
Bai Fu had a good impression of the two, so she advised them to be careful in their actions and not to unnecessarily pursue the defeated, tempting fate.
"All right, we can start the operation now."
Bai Fu glanced at the map handed out by the Leader during the meeting.
To quote the Leader, this map came from a suddenly conscientious member of the Honorable Force, detailing the location of a secret base of the Honorable Force.
"Our task is to conquer this base and rescue the member of the Honorable Force who disclosed the information!"
"Could this be a trap?"
"It's possible, so we can't charge in recklessly like fools. But whether or not it's a trap, this is an opportunity to get close to the Honorable Force and we might just be able to completely eradicate this cancer!"
That was what the Leader had said at the meeting.
Bai Fu was certain that they would be ambushed while attacking the base marked on the map, and they would suffer some losses in the process, but eventually, they would successfully conquer the base and obtain further information related to the Honorable Force.
Because if things did not progress this way, the Leader couldn't continue his act.
So, what she had to do was simple.
Seize the opportunity to eliminate the informant planted by the Leader, forcing the Leader to find a new way to make the Honorable Force reveal its tracks, which should buy them quite a bit of time.
"Let's go!"
After making up her mind, Bai Fu and others, including Steel Curtain, boarded the spaceship and flew towards their destination, Iron Ore Star.
Located in the Qikoko Colony Governor District on the frontier of Tem Civilization, Iron Ore Star was once the most reliant source of mineral resources for Tem Civilization. However, as time passed, this mining area was now neglected due to the nearly exhausted resources.
Yet, the protective facilities established before to guard the mining area had not been removed.
The enormous Starry Sky Fortress strung planets into a chain-like Interstellar Great Wall, the Cosmic Patrol Towers roaming the starry sky, and the widespread Planet Defense Cannons...
Unknowingly, these weapons had all fallen into the hands of the Honorable Force, forming a Maginot Line to halt the advancing punishers.
Unfortunately, this Maginot Line could not be bypassed.
"We have no other choice but to launch a frontal assault."
Steel Curtain spread his hands in the virtual meeting room, his face full of helplessness.
A frontal assault meant they would pay a hefty price, but since they had come all this way, fleeing now would ruin their reputation and future mercenary opportunities.
At that moment, Bai Fu suddenly stood up.
"There's a slight issue, but that's merely it. Here's the plan: when things start, you all needn't push too hard forward. Just draw the attention of those thugs from the Honorable Force on the defenses, preventing them from assisting elsewhere. I'll create a breach in this space wall."
The people in the meeting room exchanged glances.
If it was Bai Fu speaking, achieving this seemed indeed feasible.
They immediately raised both hands in approval, filled with gratitude towards Bai Fu.
Bai Fu's willingness to step forward meant they would likely incur fewer losses.
She nodded secretly.
Good, no one else was following; this allowed her to deal with the informant arranged by the Leader.
This old Leader wanted to be the main character, but she would not let the Leader have his way.
On this stage, the most dazzling person could only be the Movie Queen Bai Fu!
