Chapter 156: Eve of the Great Battle

On the second day, at Gold Lily Lane.

Early in the morning, William headed to the Golden Lion Knights. Last night, Bivis had sent someone to inform William that everything was ready, and they would start early the next day.

When William saw Bivis, he noticed that the Golden Warrior was already dressed in golden full-body armor, looking majestic and solemn like a lion baring its teeth.

Bivis, stationed in the center of the camp, paid no attention to William. The king had entrusted him with the entire operation against the Beast God Cult this time, and he had to take responsibility for this duty.

“Hurry up, everyone gather!”

“Squads one to three, fully armed, follow me to Gold Lily Lane.”

“Squads four to ten, follow Roy and Bell, enter the lower city area according to yesterday’s arrangement, and be careful not to alert anyone.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers of the Golden Lion Knights, clad in full armor, responded in unison, without hesitation. Their imposing momentum truly lived up to the reputation of the kingdom’s top knight order.

“Odysseus, the Royal Mage Corps’ support on this side is up to you. Try to minimize civilian casualties.”

“Don’t worry.”

Deputy Commander Odysseus nodded solemnly, devoid of any hint of relaxation.

Although the Mage Corps didn’t need to engage in combat beforehand, the burden on them was still heavy. They needed to set up barriers promptly when the deity’s incarnation descended to reduce harm to the civilians in the lower city area.

After receiving the reply, Bivis nodded and turned to another group of people. Although they were dressed in various ordinary civilian clothes, the fierce aura emanating from them revealed their identities as seasoned warriors.

“You are all my carefully selected subordinates, as well as elite soldiers gathered from various places by His Majesty. So, I believe you can accomplish the most difficult tasks.”

“Later, you will directly enter the lower city area in teams of three and spread out. Don’t attract anyone’s attention!”

“Once abnormalities occur in areas outside Gold Lily Lane, you must rush there immediately to buy time for the Golden Lion Knights!”

“Understood!”

“For His Majesty, for Canlight City, crush those scoundrels of the Beast God Cult in the sewers of the lower city!”

“Yes!!!”

Although Bivis had already finalized all the arrangements and communicated them yesterday, he chose to gather everyone again before setting off to boost morale.

After all, they might be facing the incarnation of a deity later, and only courage and willpower were the ways to resist the pressure of the deity.

Watching teams of soldiers heading towards the lower city according to the arrangement, Bivis turned to see William waiting nearby.

“Come here!”

Bivis waved to William.

Only then did William step forward and respectfully salute, saying, “Good morning, Lord Bivis!”

“Good morning, Lord Odysseus!”

Now, Odysseus, the vice commander of the Royal Mage Corps, standing beside Bivis, looked at his former promising disciple with a complex expression. It was a pity that he had lost such a good disciple just because of a moment’s hesitation. What a shame.

Bivis, not noticing Odysseus’s strange expression, solemnly said to William, “I have reported to His Majesty, and I am fully responsible for this operation.”

“On the side of the Dawn Church, they have also arranged manpower to guard the lower city area.”

“William, follow me. We still need your advance reconnaissance work.”

“Understood, Lord Bivis.”

William readily agreed, as this was part of his planned strategy.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected the kingdom’s actions to be so swift. It seemed that the recent activities of the Beast God Cult in Canlight City had indeed touched the kingdom’s most sensitive nerves.

Bivis didn’t say much more, just led William and the others silently towards Gold Lily Lane.

“Are they here yet?”

Rachel asked, while ClawClaw, who was observing intently, shook his head.

“Not yet, don’t be impatient.”

Flame Blaze and Nathan Titan, standing silently in the corner, didn’t say a word, quietly waiting.

When the steward of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce found them this morning, he was surprised why William had sent them to Gold Lily Lane. It wasn’t until they met ClawClaw and Rachel that they learned about the hidden plot here.

They hadn’t expected William to remember the two of them.

Yesterday, after diligently completing the tasks of cleaning and moving goods arranged by the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, Nathan Titan and Flame Blaze also successfully became formal professionals.

Nathan Titan chose to be a warrior, while Flame Blaze chose to be a mage.

At the same time, players who chose to struggle in the Mercenary Guild were still struggling in the process of receiving their first tasks. The contrast was evident.

This led more and more players born in Canlight City to choose to join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

“Are you the lucky ones mentioned in the forum posts?”

“You’ve become intermediate members of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce?”

“I remember buying things from the Chamber can enjoy a 5% discount, right?”

After introducing yesterday’s actions by William to the two, Rachel curiously asked, “Indeed, but we are also lucky.”

“I…”

“Don’t say anything, they’re here!”

Rachel was about to ask if intermediate members of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce had any other benefits, but ClawClaw who had been observing all along, interrupted her.

The three of them quickly got up and gathered around ClawClaw to look. Sure enough, they saw William walking with a group of heavily armored soldiers.

The golden armor was particularly dazzling in the sunlight, especially the old men beside William, whose momentum was even more powerful, shaking the hearts of the four.

Rachel and the others couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts. How could playing a game feel like facing real beasts?

However, seeing so many people around William, the four didn’t dare to approach and could only wait anxiously on the side.

William also noticed the four heads poking out from the alley and nodded secretly.

This was also deliberately arranged by him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a pity if there were no live broadcasters around during the battle against the Beast God Cult?

It was just right to give them a task.

With a thought, a new task notification appeared in the system panel of Rachel and the others.

—

[Silver-level Task: Conspiracy of the Beast God Cult]

[Task Requirements: William has discovered a conspiracy planned by the Beast God Cult in the lower city area. Join forces with the Golden Lion Knights, the Royal Mage Corps, the Dawn Church, and other forces to prepare for a siege on the Beast God Cult hidden in the lower city area and participate in it!]

[Task Reward: Distributed according to task completion (maximum reward: 300,000 experience points, 3,000 gold coins)]

After accepting the task, Rachel and the others looked at each other in astonishment. In the previous silver-level task, they were just tagging along, and there was already a silver-level assassin. Now with such a high reward, would they even survive?
