Chapter 128: The Upcoming Battle for the Guardian of the Holy City
Two days after the conspiracy in the border village, Bekaz and his army of plague undead still haven't moved, which makes Rococo a little depressed and flustered.
In her opinion, after the failure of the plan to provoke the outbreak of war between the Federation and the Empire, the only option left for Bekaz should be to storm the holy city of Arya Val as soon as possible, after all, if the main reinforcements of the Federation and the Empire arrive, Bekaz who is attacked from three sides will definitely be defeated.
This time, there was no inner director within the Federation to help him make a trap and kill conspiracy like in his previous life, and because the conspiracy in the border villages was exposed before, the Federation and the Empire were also on guard against Bekaz's intention to try to provoke them to war, although they did not like each other, but going to war because of their own will and being used by others are two different things.
Rococo didn't see any benefit to Bekaz if he continued to drag on like this, but the fact was that Bekaz really delayed for two days, considering Bekaz's always habitual nature of conspiracies, Rococo couldn't help but start to be vigilant, she was a little worried about whether Bekaz was brewing some new conspiracy - could it be that the Bekaz accomplice who had not been able to find out before on the federal side wanted to jump out again for Bekaz's plan this time and mix in the federal reinforcements to do something?
Fortunately, the situation did not make Rococo's worries develop out of control, and on the morning of the third day, Rococo, who came to the Sanctuary with his friends as usual to receive the daily faith point quest and inquire about the news by the way, obtained the news that she was "looking forward to" from a high priest who had become "intimate" with them because they had been doing the faith mission recently.
Bekaz's army of plague undead is on the move!
Most of the plague undead scattered throughout the continent's borders had gathered on the outskirts of the Holy City's territory the night before, and this morning began a full-scale invasion of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Holy City.
The good news is that as early as the discovery of Bekaz's intention to attack the Holy City, the Goddess of Creation Sect has been prepared for corresponding defenses, and the residents of the villages and towns in the surrounding territories of the Holy City have been temporarily admitted into the interior of the Holy City, and at the same time, relying on the topography of these towns, the Goddess of Creation Sect has also built a large number of defensive counterattack fortifications such as magic traps or magic enchantments.
But of course, there is also bad news, that is, because the main force stationed in the Holy City, the Knights of the Templars, is too small in number, they do not have the ability to disperse to the outlying villages and towns to rely on the local fortifications to fight the undead army, so although those undominated or manipulated magic traps and magic enchantments will indeed detract from the undead army, it is obvious that their power cannot be maximized in this case, so the blow to the undead army is also very limited, at best it can only delay the footsteps.
In order to resist the invasion of the undead, before reinforcements from both sides of the Federation and the Empire arrived, the Cult of Creators called on adventurers from both sides to join the defense camp in the name of order.
This is actually Rococo's advice to Orlanardo, although players are generally at level 30 now, which is not enough in front of the high-level plague undead classes such as Plague Raiders and Death Knights, but it is more than enough to deal with those low-level plague undead armies who are also only level 30, and even because even if the players die in the city defense battle, it will not waste too much time to run from the resurrection point in the city to the resurrection on the battlefield, so to some extent, compared to those plague undead, players are the real " The undead".
Moreover, Rococo, who is familiar with the temperament of the adventurers, also suggested that Bekaz find a way to temporarily create a special positive energy protection scroll through the unique magic within the Goddess of Creation Sect, after using the scroll, the user will temporarily obtain pure and powerful positive energy attributes, which can cause damage to all negative energy creatures regardless of level difference and defense.
Undoubtedly, this is exactly what Rococo is prepared for ambitious players who are not willing to be used as cannon fodder to deal with local cannon fodder. The Positive Energy Protection Scroll is not easy to manufacture, so it takes a high faith point to be able to exchange one during the city defense war, but a positive Energy Protection Scroll can create a super player who can compete with those high-level undead troops in a short period of time, and the income from killing those high-level undead troops will naturally be several times higher than killing the cannon fodder undead, so that after forming a virtuous circle, this positive energy protection scroll will definitely make the combat power of the player group have a huge increase.
As soon as the recruitment announcement of the Holy City was posted, it immediately detonated the player groups on both sides of the Federation and the Empire, although there was only one reborn in the game, Mu Yun, but no one was a fool, during this period of time, the situation in the border area of the mainland changed, and many people had already guessed that this might be the next main plot high. Tide Flashpoint, sure enough, as soon as the announcement of this "Recruitment Order for the Defense of the Holy City" by players came out, the vast majority of players became excited.
This is the first large-scale siege battle in the game "Redemption", before that, the plot on the Empire side was not related to this kind of large-scale battle at all, and although there was a surprise attack on Lancarus by the undead on the Federation side, it had nothing to do with the players at all, and it happened at night when the players went offline. Therefore, in various senses, although all players in the Battle of the Holy City were divided into one faction and there was a lot less competition between players, it was the first large-scale battle with players as the main body...... Well, the real main course of this battle is the battle for the godhead inside the Holy City and the battle between Bekaz and Rococo and Oranardo, but players don't know that much.
Empire and Federation, players from all walks of life began to flock to the holy city of Arya Val. The identity of the unified order faction within the territory of the Holy City plays its role here, and while the Empire and the Federation have historically been two sides of blood feuds, players on both sides are not allowed to attack each other. Of course, there is the gimmick of the Battle of the Holy City, and players don't care about the fun of random PK between different factions. In preparation for the upcoming battle to defend the city, players used all their enthusiasm, so in many squares or open spaces in the Holy City where a large number of people can be gathered, the great guilds of the Empire and the Federation are in harmony with each other, and so on, there are interesting scenes from time to time.
Rococo and the others naturally want to participate in this siege battle, although Rococo actually wants to go directly to the Sanctuary directly after the war to prepare to meet Bekaz, but helplessly, the friends seem to be very interested in this siege, and she is not easy to spoil everyone's interest.
However, soon Rococo himself figured it out, since this matter involved so many players, with Bekaz's way of doing things in Lancarlos, it is obvious that the other party is unlikely to take the initiative to choose to appear during the day when the players are all present.
Although Bekaz probably looks down on the strength of players who are generally only level 30 or so, after all, for him, these people are from outside the plane of the Emissia continent with strange laws and laws on their bodies, and they are rashly enemies of so many visitors from the other world, Bekaz is not sure if this will have any major negative impact on him.
Therefore, the most likely thing should be that Bekaz sent a large number of undead cannon fodder to attack the city during the day, weakening the defense of the holy city a little bit, and at the same time testing the distribution of the city's own defense forces belonging to the Goddess of Creation Sect in addition to those adventurers. Then at night, Bekaz will dispatch the real elite main force of the undead legion to deliberately contain the defense forces of the various departments of the Holy City, and then he will go straight to the inside of the Holy City to snatch the Godhead.
If so, then she naturally doesn't have to worry about anything, she can participate in the city defense battle as a player and her friends during the day, and maybe she can get some benefits for her player status, and even if Bekaz unexpectedly chooses to attack during the day, then Rococo, who is on the front line of the city defense war, can also find out the abnormality at the first time and then find an opportunity to change his identity to shoot. Anyway, the players can't compare with the real army, almost every time such a big battle starts, it will soon turn into a chaotic battle with no formation at all, and it is not difficult to find an inconspicuous corner to hide in the back row in such chaos, the only headache is probably how to explain to Chu Jiajia that he suddenly "went offline" again.
