Chapter 395: Friends who are not willing to be lonely
At the entrance plain of the dungeon, under the planning and direction of Rococo, the elven advance army broke the ambush on the chaotic side and began to counterattack with the help of the order garden environment created by Rococo, while inside the dungeon below, the elven advance army's original downward offensive had been suspended.
After all, it is a lone army of order operating independently on the Chaos North Continent, and the strength of the elven advance army has always been a weakness. In fact, if it weren't for Rococo's ability to use the power of the law of life around the entrance of the dungeon to instantly create an order garden of this scale, the elven advance army's action this time would have been canceled at all...... Because even if they saw through the ambush plot of the other side in advance and attacked the other side first, because of the difference in the number of people between the two sides, the advance army might only win a disastrous victory in the end, and it would be no different from defeat for the advance army that has almost no support at the moment.
And even with the help of the order garden terrain, if you want to deal with the chaos on the ground, the elf advance army must go all out, in this case, although the strategy in the underground palace has not been completely completed, the advance army still chose to temporarily abandon the underground palace, and quickly gathered the troops to the upper level and continuously filled the ground battlefield.
In the team that withdrew upward, the Coco team, which had been staying with the forward troops of the Elven Advance Army since the beginning of the operation because of the mission, was naturally among them. However, since they had always been at the forefront of the Korver squadron at the beginning of the battle, they were relatively behind in the entire advance army column, and could even be said to be one of the troops that the entire team used to break off when they withdrew.
Because when Conte and the others besieged it, the lowest level of the underground palace had not yet been conquered by the advance army, so there were still a lot of chaos monsters hoarded there. If the two sides are fighting here on the surface, and these monsters at the bottom who haven't had time to wipe out clean rush up from below to attack the back of the advance army, it will be really a problem to get as much as possible. From this point of view, although the Korver squadron was not able to participate in the ground combat and make a visible contribution, their work was equally important in terms of duty.
But having said that, this can't hide the boredom of the work after the break, especially when there is no enemy attacking behind or for the time being, ordinary NPCs are nothing, not to mention that they don't have their own thoughts now, even if they have, they must first consider the collective interests and follow the command as professional soldiers of the advance army. However, for players who come to "help" as supernumeraries, it is obviously not easy to accept that the front is in the big battle and their team has been staying behind.
"It's boring......"
Walking in the middle of the NPC queue, Flash Bubbles pouted and spoke the hearts of most of the team.
Before Conte's ambush began, the Coco squad had to say that they really played quite well in the coordinated operation with the Korver squadron. At first, they were just at the end of the team to help the squadron deal with the monsters that poured out of some secret doors to sneak attack, but I don't know if it was the plot mission arrangement they received or the combat efficiency they showed was really impressive, and soon, the task of their team changed from covering at the end of the team to standing at the front of the team as a leading soldier.
I have to say that although they are indeed inferior to the level strength of the Coco Squad, whether it is the rich skill slots they have as elite players with high-quality inheritance, or the experience of exploratory combat as adventurers who are more suitable for exploratory combat in this situation than professional armies, their small group of players are indeed much more efficient than these high-level NPC armies when exploring the dungeon passages, especially some passages with narrow terrain. Standing in the position of the entire squadron exploring and rushing forward with the sharp knives, the performance of Coco Team caused the Korver squadron to advance more than twice as fast as before. Even in the later battle in the central corridor area of the underground palace, the route that the Korver squadron was responsible for was the first detachment of the advance army to thoroughly clean up the route from the surface to the central corridor area.
In the later battle in the Central Corridor area, the team had little room to play, after all, a single squad player like this kind of large-scale battle recklessly participated in it, and this battle was strictly a performance stage for the leader of the advance army, Commander Sival, and their participation or not was indeed almost meaningless for the victory or defeat of the whole battle.
Because of this, when the battle in the central corridor area ended, and the advance army entered the lower layer of the underground palace and began to carry out decentralized exploration and advancement like the upper layer, the team members who had been holding back for a while originally mustered up their strength to continue the performance just now, and as the top soldiers in the squadron, they took the Korver squadron to compete for the first place in the army to the bottom of the underground palace, but they didn't expect that the bottom raiders had just begun, and the plot had such a big reversal.
As a result, it was good, because the active Korver squadron of their squad was originally at the forefront, but now because they rushed too far ahead, the Korver squadron became the last in the order of the rear troops in the retreat process. In other words, it means that it will be the last time for the Korver squadron to return to the surface to participate in the battle, or considering the need for a team to stay in the entrance corridor of the dungeon to prevent the enemy in the dungeon, the Korver squadron that walks last may not return to the surface to participate in the battle at all.
The chaos side took the opportunity of the advance army to attack the dungeon to set up an ambush, but the high-level leaders of the advance army had already noticed that something was wrong and successfully fought back, how to see that in this dungeon battle, the later ambush and anti-ambush game battle was the main course, but they couldn't participate, everyone who realized this couldn't help but be a little depressed, and what made them even more unacceptable was that they didn't know anything about it in advance.
Although as a supernumerary, it is indeed not necessary for the senior management of the advance team to know about such a core matter, but after all, as a player, it has become a habit to become the protagonist or key player in the plot of the events they have experienced - at least to be an insider, and now this kind of development makes everyone in the team feel like they worked so hard with the Korver squadron in the dungeon before, and in the end they were just used as bait to attract Chaos to come to ambush. This made the team, which had almost never been absent from the plot because of the Rococo relationship, taste for the first time the bewilderment of ordinary players who don't have many sources of information when various divine turns in the plot occur.
Looking at the disappointed and bored expressions of her friends, Sister Coco felt guilty, but she still didn't say anything. In fact, she can't tell her friends in advance, but because the opponent this time is Conte, although they have more or less the lead because they have seen through Conte's tricks, but after all, as the owner of Godhead fragments, Conte's strength and tricks must not be underestimated, and the strength comparison between the advance army and the chaotic ambush army is not an absolute advantage as said before, in this case, it is still more risky to let the friends enter the battlefield, in the eyes of Coco Sister, Especially at the moment, once the dead are resurrected, they may directly return to the Southern Continent.
However, although Coco Sister thinks that she thinks this way is very reasonable, in fact, she still underestimates the gap in thinking between herself and real Earth players. Because of knowing the truth of the world, even if Sister Coco understands that Mira's game system rules will definitely protect the lives of these players, she will subconsciously not want to see the people close to her experience the "death" in the game, but for players who really consider this to be a game from beginning to end, they have little sense of rejection of the "death" in the game, because of this, the friends actually think about the idea much more "radically" than their captain many times.
"Sister Coco, why don't we go directly to the surface and join the battle?"
As soon as Bubbles' proposal was spoken, it was approved by the team's Steelland Thorn Star Fruit Ice Shooter and others, and even Gao Nut had anticipation in his eyes.
"I think it's okay, although we are now part of the Korver squadron, but anyway, now that the dungeon raider battle has been terminated, and there has been no new mission on the system side, we might as well go to it."
Compared to the bubbles who wanted to go purely because there was a battle on it, the reason that the ice shooter said was more sufficient and more difficult to veto, but the coco sister hesitated for a moment, thinking that if the monsters in the dungeon below really attacked, it would not necessarily be safer than above, and finally nodded and agreed.
"Well, then let's go out, but everyone pay attention, the battlefield above is different from the dungeon, it is a truly open and chaotic battlefield, everyone must pay more attention to safety."
"Don't worry, Coco, we'll all listen to you."
