Chapter 413: Coco's Squad's Participation Plan
After welcoming back the return of the captain Rococo and the news of Chu Jiajia's condition improving, the clouds that have been hanging over the team since the opening of the 80-level main plot have finally disappeared, and the ease and laughter have returned to everyone's faces, and the attention of the team has finally returned to the game itself, and to the main plot of the 80-level order counteroffensive that is now in full swing in the game.
Although during this period of time at the beginning of the plot, because of Chu Jiajia's matter, the team did not participate in any level 80 main story activities at all, but because of the battle plot of the Elven Advance Army that they participated in before and the experience of staying in the Northern Continent for a period of time to level up and farm monsters, everyone in the team recorded and accumulated a lot of combat merit points on the Chaos Battlefield on the side of the Elf Advance Army in advance.
Compared to those players who have been actively involved in the story from the beginning of the main story of level 80, although their squad has wasted a few days, in fact, it is only some public story progress that everyone must take over and experience, and the battle merit points squad is not lacking, and may even be more than most players; Geographically, they also happen to be near Geraldburg, one of the three main battlefields, and they can join the battlefield at any time as long as they want; As for the most important battlefield information, they have been operating with the elven advance army and established a good relationship with it before the counteroffensive plot begins, and they are not lacking at all, and they can directly ask a lot of confidential military information from the middle and high-level officers of the elf advance army, which even some large player guilds may not be able to obtain.
After synthesizing the information at hand and the current plot situation in this way, everyone who regained their momentum was a little surprised to find that the first few days had been delayed, but it didn't seem to affect them to catch up later, and catch up again in this grand order counteroffensive plot, becoming one of the top players who can intervene in the core plot of the main line and share the plot dividends of the big head, even considering that they have such a magical captain as Rococo in their team, Maybe it's possible for them to get the super-core main story quest that can dominate the direction of the plot again, just like they did during the turmoil in the Storm Inland Sea.
However, to the surprise of the friends, Rococo, as the captain, after leading everyone to sort out the current situation, did not finally say that he would lead everyone to the battlefield of Geraldelburg immediately, but put forward a proposal that made them a little unexpected - to give up participating in the three main battlefields including the nearby Geraldelburg, and instead go to the Storm Inland Sea to participate in the battle of the Sea Beast Clan against the chaos of the Northern Inland Sea.
Although the content of the level 80 main plot is that the order counterattack and seizure battle in three places, Hailazhe City, Geral Castle, and Jinyang Mountain City, in fact, in addition to these three main battlefields, there is also a secondary side battlefield that is closely related to the main plot but is not the main line or the main attack direction of the Order Alliance, that is, the battle between the sea beast clan that takes place on the storm inland sea and the chaotic forces that occupy the northern part of the inland sea.
In addition to Jinyang Mountain City, which is located on the east side of the North Continent and can be reached through the desperate desert even if the sea route is impassable, the Order Alliance faction and players want to reach the two main battlefields of Hailaze City and Geradel Castle, and the inland sea area is the location of the navigation route that most players and the Order Alliance NPC army must pass through. In the game of this world, thanks to the help of Rococo, the Sea Beast Clan has not been completely eroded by Chaos, and has firmly guarded the southern part of the Inland Sea to ensure the smooth flow of the Inland Sea today, but even so, the chaotic forces entrenched in the northern part of the Inland Sea are still a mortal threat to the side of the Order Alliance.
Even if the final plot battle is won, both Hayradel City and Geradel Fort will be recaptured by the Order side and built into a counteroffensive stronghold on the Northern Continent, as long as the Chaos side sends troops from the northern part of the Inland Sea, strongly suppresses the Sea Beast Clan in the south, and even directly captures the entire Inland Sea, then Hayrager City and Geradel Fort will become isolated and helpless cities on the Chaos North Continent at that time.
Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, with the full assistance of the Order Alliance's side, it is difficult for the Sea Beast Clan to so completely abandon the southern part of the Inland Sea where they now live, but Rao is so, the northern part of the Inland Sea that exists as an excellent springboard for the Chaos Side's surprise attack has always given the Order Alliance side a feeling of being stuck in the throat. Because of this, after the outbreak of the three order counteroffensive battles, the Sea Beast Clan, who was responsible for ensuring the sea communication in wartime, did not choose to completely and completely passively retreat under the decision of the Sea Beast King Jeshia, but took the initiative to launch a tentative counterattack against the northern side of the Inland Sea in the local sea area on the premise of ensuring the comfort of the situation in all parts of the defense line.
Of course, due to the existence of the three main battlefields, the counterattack on the side of the Sea Beast Clan is destined to not be supported by the main forces of the Order Alliance, and the scale of the battle is not large, and it can only be regarded as a secondary battlefield at best, so it is naturally unable to attract the attention of players. But in fact, in this inconspicuous secondary battlefield, there are also a lot of campaign mission resources and opportunities to earn combat exploits.
The reason why Rococo was reluctant to abandon the battlefield of Geraldburg and wanted to lead the army to the Inland Sea was mainly due to two considerations. First of all, because of the intelligence game battle before the plot began, the battlefield of Geraldelburg has now become the home of players on the imperial side because of the existence of the Shepherd World Guild. Although in the context of the Order Alliance, the players on the Imperial side and the players on the Federation side are no longer hostile in the system judgment, and the players on the Federation side can also act freely on the battlefield of Geraldle Fort and rely on their strength to obtain combat merits, but it is a little difficult to snatch the core mission plot resources from the elite players on the Imperial side represented by the elite group of the Shepherd World Guild here.
Although it is really a robbery, Rococo, who has a lot of information about his previous life, may not be able to grab this group of friends with strong equipment with rare inheritance, but it is bound to be entangled with the Shepherd World Guild. Let's not talk about whether the reborn Mu Yun will give face to Rococo, who has had a few encounters with him, and Rococo himself definitely doesn't want to have too much contact with Mu Yun if he can. The Reborn is an outlier in the game, and if the other party is curious about any trouble or knows a secret that he shouldn't know, it can be even more troublesome than dealing with Conte.
In addition to not wanting to get close to Mu Yun and his Mu Tianxia, another reason for choosing the plot of the Storm Inland Sea side story is the small speedboat with luxurious attributes owned by the Rococo.
In such a grand main story, although there are also some small people and small teams that determine the direction of big events, but in general, in terms of plot occupancy, big guild player groups like Mu Tianxia and Xingyao Hall still have a full advantage over small teams like Rococo and them. At sea, however, this advantage can be reduced to a certain extent.
The reason is very simple, in the sea battle in the game, because it must rely on ship vehicles and vehicle armament, in many cases, the numerical advantage of the grand guild does not really have room to play, but more depends on the attribute ability of the ship it has.
Relying on the small clipper that can definitely rank in the top five or even the top three in the game with the dual cultivation of Rococo's rare mission reward and bubble's kryptonite bonus, the Rococo and their small team are completely able to easily complete some tasks that even the big guilds can't complete because they don't have the right boat.
From this point of view, although the Inland Sea is a secondary side battlefield, considering that the opportunity and difficulty of participating in the core story there are far smaller for the Rococo than on the side of the three main battlefields, the final benefits may not be worse than their insistence on staying in Geraldelburg, and may even be better.
In addition to these two reasons, Rococo is so relieved to let go of the battle situation on the side of Geraldelburg because the game plot in this world is indeed going very well. Conte is dead, the black hand behind Conte has not shown any signs of action, and the three main battlefields include the Hall of Stars and the Shepherd World, and the city of Helage and Geraldburg, which are active in it, should definitely be able to be conquered by the order camp at the end of the plot and become the initial stronghold city of the Northern Continent for the subsequent counterattack. As for Jinyang Mountain City, which is a little suspended due to the lack of player strength, Rococo has decided to exchange it with Coco's sister, and then personally go there as an NPC primordial goblin to help in the battle.
All in all, there is no need for her to intervene as a player in the main battlefield, and she is happy to relax, so she takes her friends to the storm inner sea to have a good time.
Don't look at it as a secondary battlefield now, after the end of this round of the main plot, the recovery of the northern region of the Storm Inland Sea will sooner or later become an important transitional plot between the eighty and ninety levels, and by that time, they who have already prepared for the preliminary plot in the Storm Inland Sea will be able to be active again.
After listening to Rococo's statement of the stakes, the friends were quickly persuaded by her and decided to go to the Storm Inland Sea to play together, and before leaving, Rococo also exchanged bodies with Coco's sister who had been secretly protecting the team nearby during this time, and then set off alone towards Jinyang Mountain City on the east side of the North Continent.
For Jiajia's sake, she will definitely not leave the slightest chance for the chaos forces to turn the tables.
