Chapter 909: Siege Mission (I)
In order to guard against the Holy Empire's espionage operations, the defense of Raifi City has been significantly strengthened, and now except for Raife City's own city guards and recognized players, the rest of the people, even NPCs, are not allowed to approach the City Lord's Mansion and the teleportation array.
For example, if the player teleports beyond the prescribed time, they will be relentlessly attacked.
At the same time, the teleportation scale of this teleportation array has also been changed from the original upper limit of 50 people to 5 people, which can avoid being attacked by a large number of players, but it also makes this teleportation efficiency seriously low.
However, Minai and the thief have already come over, and they can't care about the blockage of this teleportation array.
Although the previous hunting and killing plan of the Human Empire solved many of the invading forces of the Holy Empire, there were still several main cities that fell for various reasons.
However, the fighting in these main cities continued, and the main cities were much larger than the fortresses, which led to the fact that the resistance of the main cities was much stronger than the fortresses.
As long as the main city's city lord's mansion has not fallen, then the main city cannot change its owner, and it will not be able to use some of the city's command functions.
However, at the moment, the Minai had no intention of going to those war-torn main cities, because those places were too chaotic, and it would be a serious problem to kill them by mistake when the enemy could not distinguish them from their own people.
On the contrary, the occupied fortresses on this side are too close to the Angel Holy City, so these newly occupied fortresses are full of people, both the difficulty of attacking the city and the cost of time are very large.
For this reason, there are not many players involved.
But for Mina and the thief, this kind of environment where only the enemy is the enemy can exert more lethality, because Mina's magic is sometimes difficult to control, and the assassination ability of the thief is the same there.
This siege mission,It's the first time that Mina has taken over.,This kind of mission is a little different from the previous battlefield mission.,Because as long as you accept this mission.,Then he can't leave the designated battlefield.,Otherwise, he will be treated as a deserter.,Mission points are cleared.。
Siege mission,The most important thing is the task of killing the enemy,Every time you kill an enemy,Then you can get a certain number of points,And every time you kill one of your own people,It will deduct points equivalent to 5 times the level,If the points are minus 1000,Directly regarded as treason,Delete nationality。 In other words, if you directly kill two of your own people at the beginning of the mission, it is basically treason.
At the same time, there are many small tasks in this siege mission, such as rescuing hostages, destroying the defense equipment, and assassinating important personnel.
As it stands, if you kill a player, you will get points equal to their level, and for every ordinary NPC soldier killed, you will get twice the number of points, and the high-level NPC will depend on their position and rank, and the highest garrison officer may get nearly 1000 points.
At the end of the siege mission, the player with the highest number of points will receive a special reward and a large amount of military merit. The top three and top 10 in points will also have their own rewards. At the same time, these rewards vary according to the level of points, and the higher a player's points, the higher the base of his rewards.
However, in this kind of siege mission, once the player dies and no one revives him, he must wait 30 minutes before he can be resurrected in the designated place. If you want to go faster, you can only leave the battlefield first and choose to resurrect directly, but then all the previous points will be canceled.
When all the preparations were made, Mina and the other players waited for the order to attack on the city. In this kind of siege mission, the player involved must follow the orders of the commander, otherwise they will be treated as traitors.
The first two hours of a siege mission are the player's time, during which the NPCs will not move, and don't expect them to save people. To put it nicely, it is a tentative part of a regular war, and to put it mildly, it is a war of attrition as cannon fodder.
With the order of Lieutenant General Ryfy, the garrison officer of Riffy City, all the players involved received a notification from the system, and then a countdown appeared in front of their eyes.
Mina was the fastest, after all, he had an instantaneous flying technique, and he flew directly into the air, flying in the direction of the Black Shine Fortress.
Black Shine Fortress is the nearest fortress to Ryffy City, and this fortress and Riffey City are closely related, so it naturally has to be the first target to recover.
And the moment Leffy City launched an attack, Mina first saw a strange fluctuation in the sky above the Black Shine Fortress, and at the same time, the entire city wall emitted a burst of earthy yellow light.
"Stronghold Guardian mode has been activated, any good suggestions." Mina asked, he didn't know anything about the fortress.
"You mainly remember that it's a no-fly zone, don't fly up there, or I'll fall to your death." The thief didn't know how to run there, but listening to his gloating tone, it was obvious that he had seen Mina's flying skills.
"By the way, you can't use the Earth Escape Technique or anything like that, don't waste your magic power." The thief also added at this time.
"So, your shadow crossing won't work either."
"That's right, this is a real offensive and defensive battle, you don't want to be killed!"
"The same goes for you!"
In order to maximize the benefits of the two, they did not choose to attack the same side, after all, with their strength, if they can't beat these players alone, then it is naturally not much possible for the two of them to be together. In addition, this task is also points-counting, and the higher the points, the more advantageous it will naturally be.
Mina's speed is obviously the fastest, after all, the speed of flying in the sky is much faster than running on the ground.
Despite its proximity, the Black Fortress is still nearly 10 kilometers away, and even the fastest thieves have to run for 3 minutes. As for Mina, it only took 2 minutes to arrive, but he soon found that as soon as he approached the 300-meter range around the fortress, his flying skills became very difficult, and the consumption increased a lot.
It seems that he has entered the no-fly zone of the fortress.
At a distance of 300 meters, even Mina's magic would not be able to hit the enemy on this fortress. Unless it's a direct spell or a magic that has a long range but doesn't have much power.
However, the forbidden spell cannot be used, after all, once the forbidden spell is used, God knows if this fortress can be used again! You know, the biggest goal of this siege mission now is to recover, not destroy.
As for that kind of chicken-ribbed magic, even if it can hit enemies in the middle and distance, it doesn't make any sense, and the healing power of the Holy Empire is even stronger than that of the old Church.
Since the Horiki of the Holy Empire, coupled with the effect of miracles again and again, the power of the old church has become weaker and weaker. After all, what is the point of a church that has been abandoned by the gods?
If it weren't for the fact that the Old Holy Court was supported by the Human Empire, coupled with the Howard Rebellion in the front, and the passive response to the invasion of the Undead Empire in the back, it would have chilled many sober people. Otherwise, the Holy Empire will grow even more violently, and it will not have only one city now.
However, the NPCs who believe in gods in this world often have a great deal of blindness, and they will only follow in the footsteps of the god they believe in, even if the god has led them to the endless abyss.
And this is the horror of the Holy See, no one will know what these believers will do to come out, they can give up everything for the sake of the so-called faith. Such people are the most terrible enemies on the battlefield.
However, fortunately, the Human Empire has a good control over this aspect, and has not allowed the news of the Holy Empire to spread widely, and only some extremely blind people in the old Church have voluntarily taken refuge.
However, it has to be said that this new Holy See has stronger healing capabilities, as well as attack power. In addition to the Angel Armament, most of the players in the Holy Empire now have stronger skills, stronger equipment, and some even stronger classes.
And just as Mina canceled his flying spell and was about to activate the Phantom Sneak, a green arrow shot from the parapet wall in the distance was heading for Mina's façade.
Sensing the danger, Mina gave up stealth almost instantly, bowing his head and letting go of the arrow that was enough to kill him in an instant.
"Be careful, they have elven archers." Mina said on the regional channel, and then disappeared into the mist.
"No, even this one came out." The thief is also obviously frightened.
Holy Light Warriors with extremely strong defensive capabilities, and now with Elven Archers with extremely strong attack power, plus this city wall mode, I'm afraid this time it's a bit troublesome.
The siege battles that the thieves have participated in before are all related to the undead empire, and because the undead empire is not good at defense, basically every battle is face-to-face with the undead creatures.
However, the Holy Empire's defense is extremely good, but in terms of attack, it has no advantage at all, but now with the addition of a part of the elven archers, it can make up for its shortcomings.
Mina, who had already come to the Black Shine Fortress, looked at the crowd above a little helplessly.
The fortress was so full of people that it would be impossible not to alarm others to go up. Although no one can find out where he is now, he can't go up either.
As far as Mina can see, there are already thousands of people on this parapet, and with the rotation of players, there are probably at least 2,000 people on this side alone.
You know, even if these 2,000 people throw a stone each, they can stone Mina to death.
"Lao Fan, can you go up?" At this time, the thief also obviously went under the other side of the parapet, but he was also a little helpless.
"I can't get on, there are too many people, and I can't find a gap."
"Me too, I knew it was like this, so we went together. With your magic cannon to open the way, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"But the problem is, my magic cannon can't touch these parapets, and it's the same as the dwarven camp I encountered before, and it can protect against magic cannons." Mina looked at the flickering magic array on the parapet, a bit similar to the dwarven camp they had encountered earlier.
Moreover, he didn't think that he could dodge the arrow of the elven archer just now with the magic cannon, and the speed of the arrow was even stronger than Xiaoyue's.
"So what now?" The thief also glanced at the parapet, but only saw the heads of the people, but saw nothing else usable.
Even if the thief really forcibly went up, I am afraid that he will be defeated quickly.
"I can use water mist magic, you should be able to use props like smoke bombs!"
"Damn, that's all you thought about." As soon as the thief heard Mina's words, his eyes almost lit up.
Since there is no chance to go up, you can only create opportunities by yourself.
So, soon, on the different parapets on both sides, there was soon a cloud of mist and smoke.
Mina's water mist technique is much more useful than the smoke bombs of the thief and the way, and the water mist can be dotted in the space at will, but the thief also has the way but cannot.
However, the Smoke Grenade has a blinding effect, and can affect enemies without the corresponding antidote or magic.
"Oops, attack the mist (smoke), so people attack the mist (smoke) and must break them up." At this time, such an order sounded on the parapet walls on both sides.
However, neither Liu Shui Mist nor Smoke is so easy to remove, especially in such a country where there is a serious imbalance in the profession.
Soon, the parapet on the side of Mina was already filled with mist, and a large area of the parapet wall was swallowed up by the mist, and although the people inside did not have the effect of blinding like the thief and the road, they also had a poor vision.
While their magic and skills can dispel these abominable mist, they can't ensure that no suspicious people pass by.
"Youdao, I got in, what about you?" Using water mist and spider crawling, Mina easily got past the parapet.
"It's the same, I didn't expect it to be so easy!" The thief also said happily.
He originally thought that he had to rely on the hard attacks of those melee players behind him to have a chance to get in, but Na Zhishui Na came up with such a good plan.
To be honest, if you want to attack this fortress, it's very difficult, not to mention the strength of the thousands of players above, when it comes to breaking the durability of the city gate, it's a physical job, and it basically can't be opened for a while, and in the process, the people above are not the kind of passers-by who play soy sauce.
"By the way, you're going to do it there." Mina asked.
"I can only find some lonely guys inside, by the way, Lao Fan, do you think that the people in this fortress seem to be from the same guild." At this moment, the thief suddenly added.
"Well, at least 8 adults are members of the Temple Guild, but it doesn't matter, the goal is the same anyway." Mina had already discovered this, although this fortress only had two monotonous professions, the white priest and the silver Holy Light Warrior, and he would feel dazzled if he saw too much, but for the two guys, Mina and the thief, it was impossible to hide that they were from the temple.
There is a big difference between the same guild guarding the city and dozens of guilds guarding the city, the former can be ordered and prohibited, and act in a completely unified manner, without unnecessary and unnecessary actions. The latter is the complete opposite, although the latter may have stronger combat effectiveness, but if they are not united with each other, nothing is fake.
"That's right, okay, I'm going to close the team now, we only have two hours, we have to hurry." After the thief finished speaking, he first cut off contact.
"yes, it's only been 2 hours." Mina muttered under her breath and blended in with the priests on the parapet.
Although Mina came to kill people, he naturally wouldn't do it if he didn't understand it.
He is different from the thief, and now his speed can no longer give him much advantage, so he can only use his own methods to carry out this siege mission.
Now Mina is wearing a suit similar to that of a priest, which is not equipment, but it is very similar to the priest's robe. Coupled with the whiteboard light wand dedicated to the priest in Shuina's hand and the holy light magic in his hand, even the priest next to him couldn't tell that he was an elemental mage.
This is Mina's greatest strength, and it is also the greatest guarantee for the execution of his plan.
The mist on the parapet wall grows stronger, and there are only corpses left next to Mina, all of which have been killed with knives.
With the mage killer in one hand and the elemental wand in the other, no one could watch out for Mina's black knife at close range.
After killing the surrounding priests, Mina immediately launched a magical attack, and ice spear birds emerged from the mist.
Although Mina couldn't see the situation outside the water mist, he knew that there were enemies all around, and even if he attacked randomly, he could hit a few people, not to mention that Mina still concentrated on using magic.
Soon, several players fell due to Mina's concentrated firepower.
However, just as Mina was using magic to kill people, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the air flow around him.
As soon as she sensed this, Mina immediately put away her elemental wand and mage killer, and lay down on the ground and pretended to be a corpse. However, the moment he fell, he grabbed a purple wand of light on the ground.
As soon as Mina fell, he basically looked like the corpses of the players around him, and if you didn't look closely at the blood stains on his body, I'm afraid no one would be able to find out if he was alive or dead.
Soon, several paladins in silver armor passed by Mina, but they ignored the corpses on the ground.
For them, as long as the mage does not die for a day, then it is impossible for these people to be resurrected, after all, resurrection is only to die again.
"That mage isn't here, maybe down there." Several paladins quickly walked around the parapet, but did not find any suspicious targets.
Although their vision was a little blurry due to the effects of the mist, they were sure that no one in the mist was using stealth skills.
All paladins in the Holy Empire can possess a powerful anti-stealth skill, which can be learned as long as they can pass the assessment of that mission.
However, it was their confidence in their skills that made them lose their tracks.
As soon as the paladins left, Mina jumped to her feet, and the magic raged again.
