Chapter 1366: Little Piglet Makes A Killing
"What the hell? Who’s the fucker who attacked my men!?"
Roaming Dragon swore while riding to the exit of Frostbone Ridge with Coldmoon Rose. He was followed by seven to eight hundred experts. Although Purgatory Mad Dragon still had a lot of men, all of them were still shaking from Little Piglet’s rampage.
A lifeless Inconstant crashed heavily against the ground. His soul departed his body as a ball of white light.
A huge party of red players were standing about dozens of yards away from him. They had cavalrymen, archers, mages, priests and more, and they all wore the same emblem on their arms.
……
"Fuck!"
Roaming Dragon clenched his teeth tightly. "Why is Dark Mercenaries here?"
Wang Dongliang shuddered atop his horse. "Oh shit, this is bad. Was Little Piglet in cahoots with Dark Mercenaries from the start?"
Meanwhile, Warsky, Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar and more had finally arrived at the scene. We, Snowy Cathaya and Blazing Hot Lips had arrived as well. The elites of the China server and Dark Mercenaries were several hundred meters apart, and standing in the middle was Little Piglet; bloody, tattered and alone besides his pet, a lizard with a golden tail. It was a pure physical attack-type, and it was very powerful.
Warsky spurred his mount past the battle line and yelled at Little Piglet, "What is this, Little Piglet? Why is Dark Mercenaries here? Is this why you made a beeline for the outer lands?"
I wasn’t so sure. Little Piglet looked quite stunned himself.
The scepter-wielding Onmyouji, Now and Forever, stepped into the open and shot Little Piglet an inviting smile. "Do you see, Little Piglet? You gave your all to Hegemon Palace, Purgatory Mad Dragon and the China server, but now they would oust you like they do a stray dog. This is the fucking life, man! Sometimes, all it takes is one ingrate to turn all your efforts to nothing. I may not know what Purgatory Mad Dragon did to you, but I don’t need a brain to know that it must be the work of those self-important bastards, Wang Dongliang and Lu Chao!"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "If you are a man, stand up and take revenge against them! Join us, and we will make you a vice leader and give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Amber Pupil joined in on the persuasion as well. "Welcome to Dark Mercenaries, Brother Little Piglet! From now on, we are brothers-in-arms! As a show of our sincerity, we have already secured the 100000 Purgatory Mad Dragon players you fought to protect while they were escaping to the outer lands. If you join us, they will become the absolute core of Dark Mercenaries, and you will be able to enjoy the true freedom of the outer lands! No longer will you be restricted by the CGL or the VR department! No longer will anyone be able to tell you who you cannot kill! When the time is right, we’ll even conquer Purgatory Mad Dragon’s territory for your vengeance!"
Little Piglet didn’t say anything at first. He unsheathed his bloody, broken sword, pointed it at Dark Mercenaries and growled, "I may have become a stray dog, but I will never align myself with traitorous dogs! Amber Pupil, Now and Forever, who the fuck do you think the two of you are? One of you is a pathetic scumbag who sold a city of the Center to the northern wolves, and the other’s a disgusting filth who sold his own pride to become a lackey of the north! You think you deserve to be my brother?! Pooh! Get out of my sights. Even if I am forced to roam the outer lands, Dark Mercenaries will always be first on my kill list, with everyone else as the distant second!"
"You!"
Amber Pupil gritted his teeth hard enough to break, but to my surprise he didn’t explode like I thought he would. Something or someone was keeping him under control. Now and Forever then smirked craftily. "As expected of Little Piglet! Shabby Castle told us a week ago that you were going to join the outer lands and become a money-grubbing king of mercenaries, and it looks like he wasn’t lying after all! You were going to join the outer lands eventually."
"The fuck are you talking about? I never—" Little Piglet retorted, but Warsky, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Laughing At The Heavens and more Warsky Alliance players closed in on him with angry looks on their faces. A furious-looking Warsky interrogated him, "Was he telling the truth, Little Piglet? Were you really in cahoots with Shabby Castle? You’re not planning to sell Hot Sand City to the English, are you?"
Little Piglet gritted his teeth. "Of course not!"
Blue Sky Scar raised his sword. "And how are we supposed to trust your word? Anyone can say they’re not guilty! If you really want to prove to us that you aren’t in cahoots with Dark Mercenaries, then kill Amber Pupil and Now and Forever now!"
……
He Yi clenched her fists together. "Are… are Warsky Alliance and Candle Dragon trying to drive Little Piglet away from the China server?"
I clenched my teeth and activated Fusion Armor. Then, with my equipment luster fully turned on and the Phantom Wolf King growling beside me, I stepped out into the open and said, "Warsky, Blue Sky Scar, enough. No matter what happened, Little Piglet is a CGL Hall of Famer and a flagship player of the China server. Why are you forcing him to do something he can’t possibly do? You know there’s no way he can go up against Dark Mercenaries by himself, not to mention that his 100000 brothers and sisters are being ‘protected’ right now! Are you going to give up on our own countrymen?"
However, Laughing At The Heavens pointed his spear at me and sneered, "It’s obvious as fuck that Little Piglet has defected, so why are you defending him, Lu Chen? Do you think we’ll just follow your command just because you’re the vice leader of the number one guild and the number one active CGL Hall of Famer? I don’t know what you’re plotting, but I do know that we are defending the honor of the China server today! You’d better have some self-respect, or else!"
I clenched my fists together. "Shut your trap, Laughing At The Heavens. You have no idea what caused all this!"
"So what?"
Laughing At The Heavens' sneer grew even more disdainful. "For starters, I don’t give a shit about his reason. Two, if his reason really is that compelling, why didn’t Little Piglet just spill it all already? Surely we would all understand, right?"
I grew even angrier. "I told you to shut your mouth!"
Laughing At The Heavens was going to say something more, but Little Piglet suddenly looked at the sky and let out a long, long laugh. Finally, he gave his sword a swing and said to me, "Thank you for defending me, Lu Chen. I’m satisfied with just that. At the very least, I know now that not everyone in the China server is as blind as a bat. The fact is, I have nowhere else to go. There are countless people who want nothing more but to see me out of the China server. It’s funny, isn’t it? The three main cities are so big, but they just aren’t big enough to fit one Little Piglet…"
Li Chengfeng spurred his Blue Crystal Dragon forward and said from the sky, "Join us, Little Piglet. No matter what vengeance it is you’re bearing, we promise to bear it with you!"
Little Piglet shook his head smilingly. "It’s fine. This is a score I must settle myself. I really do appreciate your offer, but there is no way left for me except the outer lands."
Suddenly, he stabbed his bloody blade into the sand and dropped to one knee facing the direction of the China server. He looked at us with bloodshot but determined eyes before declaring, "I, Little Piglet, do not believe that I have let down my homeland even once in my life, but that is all going to end today. Starting now, I’m going to do everything in my power to take revenge. To achieve that, I may have to become an outlaw and a traitor. I may have to offend many of the guilds standing here today. Know that what I will do has nothing to do with my personal honor. It is simply what Little Piglet the Avenger needs to do to achieve his vengeance. While I am still able, I offer you all my sincerest apologies, and I hope that you may find it in yourself to forgive me one day.
“Fair warning, but the next time we meet, do not expect any mercy or regret from me. One way or another, I. Will. Have. My. Vengeance!"
With that final declaration, Little Piglet turned his back on us, walked toward Dark Mercenaries and yelled, "Now get your ass over here, asshole! What in the world made you think that Amber Pupil and Now and Forever are fit to negotiate with me? If you still won’t show your face, I will take myself and my men elsewhere!"
Amber Pupil and Now and Forever’s expressions turned even uglier when they heard this.
……
The players of Dark Mercenaries split apart to admit a platoon of high-level Armor Breaker Cavalrymen. The guild emblem on their shoulder marked them as members of God Breaker, the number one guild of England’s Sunset City. A single mage stepped out from the center, and he was none other than Shabby Castle, the number one player of Sunset City.
"I’m here, Little Piglet. What are your demands?" Shabby Castle smiled while toying with his scepter.
In the end, Dark Mercenaries and the Northern Alliance were able to grasp a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and separate Little Piglet from the China server.
"Gulp!"
Warsky swallowed once before ordering, "Gold Cavalry, form up and prepare to attack! Do the English think we don’t exist? That they can do whatever they want right outside our doorsteps?"
Candlelight Shadow also raised his sword and declared, "Qiu Beast Cavalry, be ready to attack when an opportunity presents itself!"
Li Chengfeng looked at me from the sky, and I gave him a nod before saying, "Dragonlight Cavalry, form up! No matter where Little Piglet decides to go, these Sunset City players aren’t leaving our outer lands alive!"
"Yessir!"
……
Whoosh whoosh…
A gale blew across the sand where Little Piglet was standing. The Cold Wind Swordsman smiled back at Shabby Castle before replying arrogantly, "I can join Dark Mercenaries, but only if I become the guild leader! Like hell I’ll ever be under or equal to Amber Pupil and Now and Forever!"
"What?!" Amber Pupil exclaimed in shock.
However, Shabby Castle nodded without hesitation. "Understood. I have already come to an agreement with Vienna’s Sorrow. If you join the outer lands, you will become the master of Dark Mercenaries and king of the outer lands. We will not interfere with your business in any way."
Little Piglet nodded in satisfaction while Amber Pupil turned a shade of purple.
"What is your next request?" Shabby Castle asked without having to be prompted.
Little Piglet continued lazily, "The 100000 brothers and sisters who defected with me will be joining the main guild of Dark Mercenaries. They will all get 100k guild contribution points."
"No problem. Anything else?"
"First, I want 1 billion gold to be deposited into the guild warehouse as guild funds. Second, I want 50000 pieces of Level 180+ Heaven-grade and preferably Outstanding metal armor equipment to strengthen our cavalrymen. Only then will we be able to fight against the powerful enemies surrounding us. Third, I know that Hero Alliance has recently discovered a new Level 210 Heaven Rank mount called the Iron Cutter Warhorse. Tell Vienna’s Sorrow that I want 100000 Iron Cutter Warhorse Sealing Stones from him. Finally, I do not want the Northern Alliance to interfere with my activities. That is all…"
Shabby Castle considered the request for a moment before cursing, "Shit…"
