Volume 7: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered) Chapter 33: The Parade of the Dead in Lasgard (3)
Sa Anlot's Undead Empire, in the province of Jetira, twenty kilometers beyond the border.
Just twenty kilometers of distance is enough to make the earth show different colors. The dark and decaying earth is gradually coming back to life, and while green plants are still rare, the most tenacious moss has begun to appear near the rocks and ruins along the roadside.
The poisonous bee was quietly waiting here with her hunting regiment. The fully equipped and heavily armed chasseurs were in a column of twenty people, a full twenty-five columns, adding a touch of slaughter to this land. Hunters are the name given to these mercenary group members by ordinary players, compared to those skilled masters, the individual strength of the hunters is not very good, they are better at cooperating with the battle, and destroy the enemy in the form of a complete small team and legion.
Standing beside the bee is her lieutenant, the deputy head of the regiment, the scorpion, a vampire thief who likes to hide himself under the hood of his cape. Because he has been insecure since he was a child, the poisonous scorpion will hardly take off the cloak and hood on his body, so no one knows the true face of the deputy head of the hunting regiment except for the poisonous bee.
Good training kept the hunters in tight formation, and everyone was as silent as an army. This makes ordinary players who pass by from time to time can't help but look sideways, but after seeing the poisonous bee fluttering on the chests of these hunters, players passing by will immediately take their eyes off them and speed away from these guys.
"Don't be aside, let's go! Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you left your life here! An orc player strode forward without looking back, pulling his companion's head.
His companion was dragged away, and he kept looking back at the silent group of hunters: "Who are those guys?" It looks amazing! ”
If it weren't for the fact that the guy next to him was a little boy who had played since he was a child, the orc player really wanted to give him a few slaps like this: "Don't talk nonsense!" That's a hunting regiment! You're tired of life, and I want to keep this little bit of soul to dig the ground for an extra hour! ”
"What are you afraid of, everyone has a neck and a head, is it possible that those guys can still rush over and slaughter me?" The word silly and bold is used to describe this player, who, like any rookie, has a mind full of fantasies and self-righteous naivety that will get rich overnight.
The orc players were about to tell this guy about the various rumors about the Poisonous Bee Hunter Corps, but suddenly saw those hunters who were originally in a solemn formation quickly form a group of five, like a swarm of bees leaving the nest, and rushed towards the surrounding players without hesitation, of course, these players included the two of them.
The orc player had a dejected expression on his face, and he wanted to pull out his knife and stab the crow next to him to death, but the desire to survive made him make another choice. Letting go of the hand holding his companion, the orc player did not hesitate to pour himself a bottle of acceleration potion, and then spread his legs and ran forward.
Within a few seconds, the screams from behind him let him know that his innocent hair had returned to the cemetery to report, and as for whether he could escape, it depended on whether the bottle of acceleration potion he had just poured down could really give him a wind-like feeling as those goblin merchants said.
He didn't even have time to look back. One second, two seconds, time passed so slowly that orc players had the illusion that time had stood still.
Until an arrow penetrated the leather armor on his body and gave him a heart-piercing cold!
Putting away the bow and arrow in his hand, the silent hunter walked quickly to the orc player, drew his one-handed sword from his waist, and thrust it into the heart of the corpse several times to make sure that the orc was completely dead, and then raised his hand to make a target death gesture at the squad leader in the distance.
"It's been cleaned up!" Seeing that all five captains made a gesture to complete the task, the poisonous scorpion reported to the poisonous bee in a deep voice, "According to the agreed division of labor, we will be responsible for the surrounding area with a radius of five kilometers. ”
"Set a trap at a seven-kilometer border, let our people summon all the blood slaves, set up a cordon at certain intervals at a certain distance at the six-kilometer border, and the warlock must ensure that the entire area is within the detection range of the Eye of Kilrog, and don't let any rats slip in!" The poisonous bee said coldly, "This is the first operation of the poisonous bee hunting regiment after completing the combat rearmament, don't let that adult down, poisonous scorpion!" You should know what the consequences of failure are! ”
"Of course!" There was a faint cold light flashing in the hands hidden in the sleeves of the poisonous scorpion, "We were originally a group of scum waiting to die in the slums, even the government was unwilling to come to ask us whether we lived or died, relying on the generosity of that adult to live the life we have now, if anyone is bad, I know what to do!" ”
Poison Bee nodded, she was originally a poor woman who had to live in a slum because her son was seriously ill, it was Yu Bin who paid for her son to be admitted to the hospital, and then let her come forward to pull up a group of people who were also helpless at the bottom of society. The poisonous bee cherishes her current life, and in order to keep it, the poisonous bee does not mind doing anything, as well as the poisonous scorpions around her, as well as the group of desperate residues under her hands.
In this world, there are too many people who are desperate and desperate for various reasons. It just so happens that Yu Bin has a lot of money in his hand, and for Yu Bin, this money will become a pile of waste paper in a few years, so the problems that can be solved with money now are not a problem!
"It's coming!" When the scorpion saw the gestures made by the scouts who were used to convey the message, he knew that the Lord was coming.
"Watch your words and deeds, scorpions! Don't let the adults down! The poisonous bee tidied up the leather armor on his body, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and the poisonous scorpion beside him did the same.
Soon, smoke and dust appeared on the horizon in the distance, apparently an army was marching here.
The bone-stompers, then the marching bone-bone gladiators, then the vast and boundless army of the undead, the silent soldiers marched across the land, the blades of the cold gathered into a sea of death, and as far as the eye could see, a dark blue soul fire.
The poisonous bees and scorpions buried their heads even lower, and they knew very well what kind of terrifying power the army of the undead represented in front of them, long since they were out of the rookie stage.
A ghostly armored tiger ran in front of the two of them.
"You're the head of the Poison Bee Hunting Regiment?" A voice came from the back of the ghost armored tiger.
"Yes, I'm a poisonous bee. Lord Keldilla! "Keldila Weaver is the only player to possess the Ghost Armored Tiger mount to date, and as the right-hand man of the Death Knight Ice Whisper Dry Bone, the Death Priest is no small feat in his name.
"You're doing a great job! Once the army has passed, your Hunters will be in charge of patrolling the northeastern sector of Lasgard along with the Hungry Wolf Hunts, and players with less than 10 players will be left alone, but if they exceed 10, they will have to be reported. Your superior is Victor, the Executor-Candidate stationed in the ruins of Legler, who will be responsible for solving problems that you can't handle! ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
Keldila nodded, drove the Ghost Armored Tiger back into the queue, and continued with the army.
The Lasgard region is not part of the territory of the undead, and although it was a turning point in the last faction war, the undead had no idea of taking control of this region in the cold north.
And because of the battle that happened here thousands of years ago, many players who want to try their luck will come here to be scavengers, whether it is a player in the orderly camp or a player in the chaos camp, as long as they are lucky enough to dig out a piece of equipment that is still complete from the ground, they can at least make a profit ranging from a few to dozens of gold coins, after all, equipment that can be kept intact for thousands of years is at least Blue Refinement.
As a result, this area, which is only half the size of a province, has been roughly divided by the players according to the ruins that can be identified, and more than a dozen ruins and some empty areas of various sizes make up this land where countless treasures are buried.
At the same time as the Poison Bee Hunting Regiment started, according to Yu Bin's order, the entire Lasgard area was temporarily isolated, and the entire seventy-four Chasseur Corps carried out a thorough cleanup in the entire Lasgard area, killing all ordinary players and completing the information blockade of the Lasgard area.
It takes time for players to deduce what is happening in the Lasgard area from scattered information, especially when there is no instant remote communication between players, and it is this brief fog of information that Yu Bin wants.
Once those big guilds find out that Yu Bin entered Lasgard with a huge army of undead, as long as those presidents are not pig brains, there is no need to guess that there must be treasures in this ancient battlefield that this death knight will get his hands on at any cost, and those who can sit in the position of president are all human spirits, and it is better to expect them to turn a blind eye to Bin's actions, it is better to expect a gold brick to fall from the sky and kill them.
"Are all the people in place?" Yu Bin rode on the Demon Bone Dragon Horse and followed La Suvios forward, since he handed over the power of the commander-in-chief to the future chief instructor of the Black Blade Knights, Yu Bin would not dictate La Suvios's orders.
For the army of the undead commanded by La Suvios, Yu Bin had only one request, that is, to establish a solid camp between the ruins of Valzi and the ruins of Bursburg, and use this as a center to complete the challenge of a total of seven secret realms around it while digging the nearby ruins of Valzi, Bursburg, and Flana.
These ruins are the first areas where the player excavated the core of the town in the previous life, and there are a total of six town ruins buried under the ruins of Guangvarzi, including a small city, and there have been four town cores and two war fortress cores before and after (not that a war fortress core can meet the construction requirements of a war town, the more town cores, the stronger the city's defense power, therefore, NPCs tend to use multiple town cores in a city at the same time, and players for cost-effective considerations, Nature is to choose to use only one core per city).
The larger ruins of Fort Briss have unearthed more than a dozen town cores and five war fort cores, after all, the ruins are the remains of the fortress of Boers Castle.
"The scouts have confirmed that a total of seventy-four hunting regiments are all in place, twenty of which are responsible for patrolling between various areas, trying to prevent those players with small numbers from entering Lasgard, and once signs of large-scale entry are detected, forty hunting regiments stationed in the inner area will be responsible for the battle, the executors Harlock and Ripfan, and six executor candidates will be responsible for leading the team." Alan replied, "The rest of the hunting regiments will join the excavation. ”
Yu Bin nodded.
"However, I am afraid that this alone will not be long in coming, and that 30,000 people is still too small to monitor the whole of Lasgard. I think three days is the longest we've been able to keep a secret. Alan said worriedly.
"I didn't want to hide it for long!" The three ruins that Yu Bin values the most are relatively easy to excavate, and there is no need to use heavy excavation equipment, as long as there are enough people, two days is enough to complete all the excavation and cleanup operations, "Three days is enough time for us to complete the main purpose, and after that, even if other guilds want to participate, I welcome it!" ”
Alan shook his head: "You don't want to come to a center to bloom, do you?" While I admit that this army of the undead is indeed powerful, it is probably only a drop in the ocean compared to the number of players who may flood Lasgard by then. ”
"Don't think of those guys as noble! Even those hunting regiments in our hands can't really be able to give their lives without fear, let alone those guilds that chase profits, look at it, when the time comes, they will only flee wherever my soldiers go! Yu Bin said in a disdainful tone.
"Of course, I don't doubt this, and like you said, the more ruthlessly we kill those big guilds this time, the stronger their desire for territory will be, and the better the goods in our hands will be sold at that time!" Ailan knew what Yu Bin wanted to achieve, which was why they had to bring the army of the undead here, otherwise, just relying on a few of them to dig up treasures would just take a little more time, so why bother to send an army at the expense of the people. "My only concern is whether it will trigger a large-scale player PK!"
Yu Bin smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly what I was looking forward to?" To be honest, if I can cause a large-scale war between the players between the two factions to break out because of this, and force those NPCs to start the war early, I can't ask for it! Unfortunately, that is not possible! ”
Spontaneous PK between players is common, but it is almost impossible to cause a PK on the scale of a war as Yu Bin expects, partly because the big guilds will consider the gains and losses, and on the other hand, because Raphael's territory auction is in full swing, and no one wants to waste gold on pensions at such a time.
