Chapter 183: Patrol Mission
It's seven o'clock in the evening on Friday, Beijing time, and the system prompts that a total of 8457 generals will participate in the C version of the plot, including 2O33 who is still in the mercenary state, 377O who is O-level strategy, and 2654 who are level 1.
In addition to Liu Ren, Xingyue had seven of the enemy commanders in the eight national battles who were recognized as generals, Wu Mu ate three, and Mei Jing had two small bells. Little Bell's Brown was killed by Liu Ren in the first mission of the star, so he was demoted to the 2nd level of the mercenary "trainee beast trainer" by the system, which can be said to be more than half of the waste, but the other star was upgraded to level 3 and can participate in version B. Mei Jing is probably reluctant to socialize with people, so the two generals have a level 1 and an O-level.
The country of stars and moon can have four generals to participate in version C, which is relatively strong in terms of the whole world, but these four generals want to meet and cooperate in the plot, and the chances are too small.
Before entering the plot, the system first announces the rules: the troops carried by the general star or the general star himself, if they die in the plot, they will exit the plot and there will be no real loss; The resources, treasures, mercenaries, and strategic experience obtained by the star in the plot are only used in the plot, and cannot be taken away at the end of the plot. The generals of this faction cannot attack each other, and players can report those who maliciously obstruct the troops of this faction; Players who violate the instructions of the NPC's boss will be discredited from command; If the player is disconnected, the computer will take over the operation until the player is back online; You can't communicate with players outside in the story, and talking to the opposing faction will show garbled characters, etc.
The mission officially begins, and after a series of exciting computer animations, the system begins to display the plot in the alphabet of various countries.
Erathia's First Total War was caused by the undead joining forces with the Hell camp to attack humanity under the leadership of the necromancer Sandru and the archdemon Shellon. And turning many human soldiers and civilians into skeletons, Catherine, the queen of Erathia, called on everyone to rise up and resist, but the war was already unfavorable.
Humans asked the tower camp for help, because most of the alchemists in the tower are also humans, but these guys who are obsessed with alchemy don't like to participate in secular battles, but the elf camp saw the brutality of the evil forces, so under the leadership of the great hero Gru, they walked out of the forest and formed an alliance with humans.
Due to the confrontation between the dark elves of the underground camp and the elven camp on the ground, and the abyssal demons of the hell camp are also inextricably linked with the underground camp. So Queen Isa of the Night Elves and Queen Moriel of the Abyssal Demon Queen Nammis Beat Underground Camp are involved in the battle against humanity.
At the same time, the barbarian camp, which has always lived in remote mountains and the Gobi, has always coveted the forests owned by the elves, and this time they saw the emptiness behind the elves, so they invaded the elven kingdom in a big way. The elven camp is weak, but the druids have enlisted many tribes from the swamp camp to help fight the invaders. As a result, the barbarians suffered.
Humans and elves struggled to hold on, and despite the friendly elemental creatures brought in from the elven camp, the war was still very difficult.
The most dramatic scene came when the tower's camp, especially its leader, Deken, was very keen to slay dragons and obtain the alchemy materials on dragons. These alchemists rounded up the black dragon again and again. Finally provoked the wrath of the underground camp, and the tower became the last camp to be drawn into the war.
Rena, under the command of Liu Ren, was assigned to Chaotic Cloud City, a small border city in the human camp, with four NPC leaders and 113 generals in the city.
Liu Ren looked around, in addition to seeing other people's general stars, he could also see the players who operated this general star themselves, among them, there were more than a dozen people Liu Ren had dealt with. Of course, Liu Ren remembered that the faces of those foreigners were for business needs, and others didn't necessarily remember him, but now it seems that no one here recognizes Liu Ren.
Before the mission started, the players gathered in groups to communicate, a few of them really knew each other, but the vast majority of them wanted to make a few friends temporarily, and then it would be easier to cooperate.
As before, Liu Ren would also take the initiative to socialize with others, but today he really couldn't raise any spirits, Liu Ren listened to the discussion of others, and silently opened the attribute window of Reina.
Reina's talent is a griffin class specialty, and her ability is a primary leadership technique and a primary offensive technique, leading 8 juvenile griffins, O rank, it should be said, a very strong general star.
At this time, the four NPC generals in the city began to speak before the battle: "We just got the news that a force from the undead camp is preparing to bypass Turbulent Cloud Mountain to cut off the rear path of our friendly forces, and we must stop them, so General Levin and General Riddle will bring 25 and 28 teams of righteous soldiers to ambush respectively, and those who are willing to go can sign up with them!" In addition, we need to send a unit to patrol the front line to see if the enemy has any signs of attacking Turbulent Cloud City, and if you are willing to join the patrol, please find General Harpote, who will take 26 teams of righteous soldiers to go. For the rest, find me Hei Deming to sign up for the city defense team, a total of 34 teams! ”
The so-called "righteous soldiers", of course, are these generals, although they will be famous heroes in the future, but their current strength is not yet in the stream, and they can only be regarded as militiamen in the countryside.
Some players are quick to discuss, while others can't wait to rush to the hero they think is the most agreeable.
Liu Ren looked at all this lazily, he was not in a hurry, all the people who were not in a hurry were masters who had participated in the main plot in the open beta, they knew the rules, NPCs did not select people in the order of registration, if the number of applicants came out, the general would automatically kick out the weakest players.
Those who can get the stars are basically high-end players in the game industry, and they all have their own judgments, but the distribution of the final number of applicants is very even.
Now there is no information to analyze, no one knows the follow-up plot, so follow every npnetbsp; In fact, defending the city is the safest, but it may also be the least meritorious in this area mission.
Reina's strength is obviously stronger than most generals, so Liu Ren chose the highest-risk front-line patrol.
Liu Ren's calculation was that General Harpote, who accepted the patrol mission, should at least have reconnaissance ability, so the chance of being attacked was not great, but it was very likely to sneak attack others.
Juvenile griffins are among the O tier human troops, and are the most likely to make a mark when they sneak attack. Even if it is attacked by the enemy, it is the ranged troops that will be attacked first, and the griffin still has a chance to kill the enemy.
The registration can't be changed, and then Liu Ren was very depressed to see that there was not a single long-range soldier in the Harbot array!
They are all smart people, and now that they have it, Rena's unit is the fastest, but it has become the target of the enemy when they are sneak attacked.
The real masters must wait for others to sign up first and then see the situation, but it is precisely because everyone is so abrasive that Liu Ren, who is in an irritable mood, loses patience, so he signed up a few seconds in advance before he suffered this loss.
The patrol team came out, and what made Liu Ren angry was that Harbot didn't have the ability to investigate, only a team of first-order scouts.
Now all the existences that automatically demote the star to the team leader, their own abilities are only limited to their own team, even if any of the generals have skills such as reconnaissance or pathfinding, they can't wave it, and Liu Ren can only consider himself unlucky.
The formation of the march, although it was adjusted very neatly by Harbot when it came out, but it was impossible to keep the formation intact when walking between the mountain roads, and all the players in the formation tried their best to retract their troops to the core area within the scope permitted by the rules, so as not to be the brunt of the sneak attack, and the formation had become miserable.
Rena's baby griffons were the only flying troops in the group, so they didn't have to huddle with others, and if Liu Ren wanted to, the griffons could stay in the middle of the group.
However, Liu Ren was really not in the mood to play so obscenely, he felt that he was very impatient today, he didn't want to think, he just wanted to fight quickly.
The eight griffons were split into eight directions and flew to the limits of the troop allowed by Harpote. A European player below smiled and said, "Brother, do you think that this can help Boss Ha investigate?" It's a pity that your griffon's sight is definitely shorter than that of a scout, so it's pointless. I have to admit that the game is not reasonably designed at this point, how can a griffin fly in the sky and not be as sighted as a human, haha, but that's the rule! ”
Liu Ren said coldly: "Let me teach you a trick, I arrange it this way, no matter which direction the enemy appears from, at least half of my troops will be the latest to join the battle because they are far away, this is the safest formation for me!" ”
"Huh?" The players were all affected by Liu Ren's words, and began to think, and then felt that it made sense, and some players with a lot of troops also learned from Liu Ren and spread the troops as far as possible, so that the central area was no longer so crowded.
Compared with the war on the strategic map, the star mission is more realistic, each mercenary in the mission can be commanded separately, and of course, the damage received is also calculated separately, Liu Ren's method, although it puts a certain two or three mercenaries in danger, but it is more conducive to saving the remaining troops.
Once the NPC general gives the command to attack or counterattack, it is impossible for the player to make the mercenary turn and escape, and if the command is "charge", then all the mercenaries must attack with the highest agility, and the player can only fine-tune the mercenary's charging angle. So under this kind of rule, Liu Ren's arrangement does make sense.
But those players didn't think of Liu Ren's true purpose, his purpose was just to make the formation as scattered as possible, so that it would be easier for the enemy troops to appear......
