Early morning.

The clear blue sky is as if it has been washed, clear and deep.

The sun gradually rose, and the first rays of sunlight pierced through the white clouds and shone on the desert of death.

North of Sandstorm City, outside the player-built camp fortress.

Columns of player troops, heavily armed, are slowly assembling.

From above, the massive camp looked like a giant beast that was constantly swallowing up the army, moving rapidly.

The sandstorm passed, and Eve also officially determined the attack plans of several guild leaders in the form of hiding the plot.

As usual, the appearance of "hidden missions" once again mobilized the enthusiasm of players and triggered a wave of participation in the battle.

The churn of players stopped.

And those players who returned to the Elven Forest because their enthusiasm was exhausted also re-stepped into the teleportation array and hurried back......

Outside the player's camp.

After a few months of playing, players have become more and more proficient at assembling this army.

Soon, a huge military formation formed outside the camp.

This time, players mobilized an army of 100,000.

This is almost the limit of this operation.

Unlike before, the current Blue Star time is a weekday, half past six in the afternoon.

At this time, although many people are off work, there are also many people in the hard-working overtime party.

And they can only use envy, jealousy and hatred to go up and down the video network while they are at work and fishing, and peek at the players' live broadcasts that cannot be called live broadcasts at all......

And except for those players who can't go online due to practical reasons, except for those players who can't return to the Death Desert for the time being, except for the salted fish players who are responsible for staying in the camp and taking care of the bodies of players who are not online, other players...... It's all coming.

100,000 troops......

This may be a lot less than the number of people who first joined the battle, but after so many days of fighting, the players are no longer what they used to be.

Not only did their overall strength faintly improve, but through various battles, they summed up various techniques specifically for orcs on the official website.

Don't underestimate this trick.

On the battlefield of Blue Star, the reason why the survival rate and kill rate of veterans are higher than those of new recruits is that the veterans have accumulated rich combat experience through battles again and again.

And this kind of skill summarized by players belongs to their combat experience.

The network has shortened the distance between people, and it has allowed players to communicate with each other and make progress together.

This is something that the orcs can't match.

Of the 100,000 troops gathered, nearly one-third of the players chose to ride Warcraft into battle.

They are the player's troop of 30,000 cavalry.

Of these, more than half are shooters, while the rest are tank warriors in heavy armor.

There's a reason for that.

In the Desert of Death, players can be resurrected after death, but the equipment cannot be recycled, and Warcraft has always been dead and dead, and the players are treasured.

As a result, only ranged players who can avoid melee combat as much as possible will choose to be a mobile mounted archer in big battles.

As for the tank warrior players, they are specially promoted by the major guilds to serve as heavy cavalry.

Not only are they wearing heavy armor, but the monsters under them are also wearing heavy armor that has been modified by the forger player, and the monsters they are riding are none other than a large number of crypt spiders that will not be so distressed when they die.

After being promoted to Legendary, the number of crypt spiders owned by Queen Rose has further soared, supporting the consumption of players a lot.

Anyway, they are all sub-individuals without independent consciousness, and when they die, they are dead.

And although these big guys are sparse in combat during the day, they still have a decent load bearing capacity and speed, at least much better than the horses and camels captured by the players......

Heavy cavalry player, 10,000 men.

In the player's plan, the heavy cavalry players will be the vanguard, the infantry players will be the main force, and the mounted archer players will be the roaming support and pursuit control, attacking the orc army stationed outside Sandstorm City.

This plan is also summed up by players after one battle after another, and with reference to the war experience of the Cold Weapon Age on the Blue Star.

Outside the camp.

Wearing the Divine Favor Zero Vest and the Black Battle Skirt, Eve stood on a barren hill, staring in the direction of Sandstorm City.

The entire city of Sandstorm is made of solid obsidian, leaning against a hill that is slightly higher and glows in the sun.

Eve stared at the city that the orcs were proud of, and at the dynamics of the orcs above and below the city walls, with an inexplicable expression.

And at this moment, a respectful voice sounded behind her:

"Master Zero, in ten minutes at most, we can assemble, but the total number of troops dispatched this time may not be as large as before, only 100,000."

It's Li Mu.

Listening to his words, Eve nodded slightly:

"It's okay, it's already good."

So far, the number of players who have taken on the Death Desert War mission is more than 150,000, and although the number of players participating in the war this time is one-third less, this is also large enough.

Actually, that's fine.

100,000 and 150,000, to this point, there is actually no qualitative difference.

Because the key to this war is the confrontation of the true gods.

If the player really dies due to an accident, leaving tens of thousands of people can also reduce the loss.

And seeing Eve staring in the direction of the distance, Li Mu couldn't help but ask:

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching the orcs move."

Eve replied.

See the movements of the orcs?

Li Mu was stunned.

He followed the other man's gaze and found that he couldn't see clearly at all, except for the faint view of the spiky sandstorm tower.

Even if he used the skill [Eagle Eye], he could barely make out the vague city walls.

This made Li Mu have to sigh, the eldest sister is the eldest sister's head, and this eyesight is too good.

Soon, though, he slapped his head again.

It's been a long time since the game was played...... Thinking realistically about things in "Elven Country" again.

This game is so magical, and after playing it for a long time, you will really think of this place as a different world!

Eve didn't care about Li Mu's small movements, but just looked in the direction of Sandstorm City.

It's twenty kilometers away from where the player is stationed, and there are few barriers to cover along the way.

Therefore...... As a true god, Eve could clearly see the activity of the orcs on the walls, especially on the towers of the high sandstorm.

Of course, this also means that the other side can clearly see the movements of the players.

Under the premise that there are no obstacles, the limit of the visual distance of 100 meters is about 35 kilometers, although the eyesight of the orcs is definitely not as good as that of the true god, but it is still possible to stand in the sandstorm tower and see the general dynamics of the player's camp.

So...... The orcs must have noticed the elves' build-up, too.

Interestingly, however, Eve found that after noticing the player's actions, the orcs in Sandstorm City panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

You know, when the player just appeared twenty kilometers away, Sandstorm City was overturned by a crowd on their backs, and the city walls were even more chaotic, and it took a long time to calm down......

It's also that the players' previous attacks were too hard.

Whether it was merciless killing and plundering, or forced renunciation of faith, it all caused a deep psychological shadow on the orcs in the desert of death.

They would never have imagined that one day these innocuous elves, as harmless as little white rabbits, would become the existence they feared......

Under such a premise, this time the large-scale action of the players did not cause chaos in Sandstorm City, which was somewhat unexpected by Eve.

They had obviously suffered a defeat two days ago, and their morale was officially low!

This is not normal.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Eve muttered to herself.

In her heart, there are already some vague guesses......

Twenty kilometers, it is not far away, but it is not close.

But for the true God, it is only a moment.

At this distance, the True God could even sense a relatively large amount of energy fluctuations nearby!

Since the players approached Sandstorm City, Eve has been paying attention to the energy fluctuations in the direction of Sandstorm City, and has also obtained information about the city through various channels of players......

When it comes to the activities of the true God, the momentum is generally not small.

Even if Urel tries his best to cover it up, it will leave clues.

And Eve's purpose is to find this trace, so as to spy on Urrel's movements.

However, these days, except for a weak fluctuation of divine power, Eve has not sensed other energy changes......

And the only fluctuation of divine power, with her own experience, Eve guessed that it should be Urrel's oracle.

Plus that fiasco before the orcs......

This shows that the orc side should not have descended into Sandstorm City to be stronger.

In fact, the world of Saigs has not yet been completely opened, and the incarnation and demigod apostles coming at this time require continuous consumption of divine power to fight against the exclusion of the world.

This consumption is not small.

It's okay for a short time, but if the power comes too early, Urel will definitely not be able to bear it......

After all...... He was only a true god with weak divine power, and he also sealed the nearby time and space, and the consumption itself was already terrifying.

Therefore, Eve's judgment should be that after the player officially attacks, it will attract the prayer call of the orcs.

But now that she's seen the orcs change, her mind has changed.

She really hadn't sensed a big change in energy before.

But except yesterday.

The Desert of Death has been polluted by magic, and in extreme weather, the magic of the entire desert will be disturbed.

For example, sandstorms.

And this is not Eve's area of control, as long as the magic is disturbed, Urel can hide the energy changes to a certain extent.

Mana disturbances can affect summoning, most likely causing ritual failures, with one exception.

That's the temple.

Just right...... Sandstorm City has the largest temple in the Death Desert.

All these things add up, so that Eve has some guesses in her heart:

Half-orc...... I'm afraid it took advantage of yesterday's sandstorm to make the final call!

I'm afraid that there is already a demigod-level power in Sandstorm City now.

And as if to test Eve's conjecture, the next moment, she noticed that the orc had moved.

The half-orc camp under Sandstorm City has also begun to assemble!

However, it is not defense.

Because Eve saw the orcs in Sandstorm City, they actually gathered an army and went out of the city in a mighty way.

This made Eve's heart move.

It takes time to assemble an army.

The orcs are not acting like this simply because of the player's changing dynamics, but because they had planned to assemble their army for today.

At this point, there is no more suspense.

Because only with strong reinforcements can the orcs have the courage to assemble an army to attack again!

At this thought, Eve sighed softly:

"Decisive Battle...... It's time to get started. ”

Then, she turned around and said to Li Mu:

"Tell the other Chosen ones to get ready for battle, the orcs are starting to gather their armies, perhaps...... We're going to fight them in the desert. ”

"They must have received support from the true God."

Support from the true God......

Li Mu's expression was solemn.

He thought for a moment, and then asked respectfully:

"That'...... Do we need to retreat to camp and play defensively? ”

Eve just asked rhetorically:

"What do you think?"

Li Mu froze slightly.

But soon, he smiled:

"That'...... In the wild, of course! ”

Just kidding, everyone didn't have a good time fighting the defensive battle before, and since the orcs poured out this time, isn't it a better time?!

Maybe the casualty ratio will be lower in defensive battles, but players are now looking forward to a hearty battle in which everyone can participate!

Not to mention, they also have confidence in their own strength!

As for the support of the true God......

Don't they also have the power of a goddess?

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but glance at Eve, and as if guessing his thoughts, Eve drew a symbol of the scepter of life on his chest, and then said with a reverent expression:

"The Goddess will bless everyone."

Li Mu nodded.

He saluted Eve again, then withdrew.

Twenty minutes passed quickly.

An army of 100,000 was also fully assembled.

The battlefield channel is also on again.

The familiar BGM sounded, and the players either looked solemn or excited.

The information obtained from the zero exchange with the Divine Favor has been published by Li Mu on the battlefield channel.

There was no pledge meeting, and there was no speech on the verge of battle.

All players are aware that the decisive battle of this main story of the Death Desert is about to begin.

"Go, target - the army of orcs!"

After Li Mu gave an order that resounded throughout the battlefield channel, the 100,000-strong army formed a barely neat phalanx and rushed in the direction of Sandstorm City......

The BGM is abruptly converted.

The passionate marching music rang in the ears of the players, boosting the morale of every participant.

And at the same time, in the direction of Sandstorm City.

The orc army, which had obviously been prepared for a long time, was also lined up and assembled.

At the sound of whining horns, an army of more than 200,000 half-orcs, surrounded by more than sixty Bimon, also began to march towards the north......

The two sides seemed to have made an appointment, like two hideous war beasts, slowly approaching in each other's direction.

Twenty kilometers, facing each other, the terrain is flat......

The decisive battle is about to begin.
