03 The Boot Begins (1)
Imer donned the light armor provided by the Black Tulip Brigade, which was a very novel experience, and the soldiers who had only been seen on TV in the past had finally used the real thing.
Two weapons were taken, one was a short sword, pinned to the waist, in the narrow area inside the castle, this was a must-have weapon. The other is Claymore, which generally translates to great sword or chopping sword.
The huge size of a horse slasher often plays a huge role in the face of multiple targets. Of course, compared to the size of the sword, the average user is also a tall player, and the members of the Black Tulip team almost popped out when they saw that Yimo could swing it easily.
"I know you're powerful, but I didn't expect you to choose this weapon." Curien watched a little speechlessly as Yimer used the sword in a completely different way from the Europeans, and the normal sword user relied on his height to control the 1.5-meter murder weapon, and used himself as a support to swing widely. And Yimer is less than 1.8 meters tall, he wields this long weapon that almost reaches his shoulder, using centrifugal force to move and jump skillfully, flexible like a monkey, constantly slashing up and down and cutting horizontally, his sword seems to swing faster than ordinary people's long swords.
"I don't want to get near those walking corpses and skeletons anymore, the longer the weapon, the better." Imer was happy with his weapon, and if he had such a weapon before, he wouldn't have to be trapped in that endless encirclement.
"When you're ready, let's go!" Curien said that in fact, the Black Tulip Brigade had been preparing to attack the castle for a long time, and they were all waiting for the unexpected factor of Emer.
With an order, the players set off towards the castle.
"Today's goal is to clean up the town and cemetery, reduce the range of movement of the monsters, and ensure the safety of the retreat!" Deputy Commander Eude was conveying today's plan of action to the marching regiments, and the regiments responded with a bang, divided into battle groups, and scattered into the town.
In the game "Phantom Arm", monsters will not stand in place stupidly, they will always attack you from unexpected places and opportunities, so if you want to attack a monster's lair, you can only honestly fight head-on and clean them up, otherwise even if you complete the battle goal, the final result will be beaten to death by monsters.
The first rule of the "IAO Wilderness Survival Rules" is: ensure the safety of the back road at all times, and do not fall into the siege without knowing it!
Stepping into the town again, Imer felt a difference. Night is the time when the walking corpses are active, and all the walking corpses will crawl out of the ground like mad dogs and bite people. During the day, the walking corpses bury themselves in the ground, and there is no trace of them. The task of the members of the group is to find the traces of the walking corpse, and then dig it up so that the walking corpse can die again.
Although he knew that the walking corpses could not help him, Imer still felt a creep. On the side of the road or under the mounds of dirt in the ruins, there are moving corpses, and now they have to be dug up one by one, and the cold ones are about to be bitten. Imer, who was not accustomed to such fierce battles, refused to participate in this kind of activity, and he had recently been frightened by various ghosts and had a nervous breakdown.
However, these ordinary walking corpses don't need Yimer's help. With his sword behind his back and his hands on his chest, he walked slowly after Curien and Mint.
"Actually, now that I think about it, we misassessed the difficulty of commissioning." Curien continued to tell the inside story of the mission, "Viscount Elrios didn't mention Marquis Sayer's hostility towards him at all. β
"However, the Marquis of Saya obviously likes Viscount Elrios, doesn't he? I heard that he even wants to marry his daughter to Viscount Elrios, otherwise Viscount Elrios would not live in Cologne Castle permanently! Mint wondered.
"Who knows about these big nobles, but it is true that Marquis Saya besieged and killed the mercenary group assembled by Elios." Curien sneered, "Although we have been entrusted in secret, maybe Marquis Sayer already knows about it, and is even waiting for us on the way back." β
"Wait, the more I listen, the more confused I become......" Imer felt more and more that the game was completely different from his usual impression, "You just said not the background of the mission, but the ...... The real thing? Viscount Elrios was jealous of Marquis Saya, but Marquis Saya, while acting close, killed Viscount Elrios's mercenary group? Or even that they ambush the player? Kill us? β
Curien smiled and nodded, "It's true. I can understand your doubts, in fact, many players are the same, seeing some introductions in the novice period is simply as a game background, only players who go deep into the wild will find that these game backgrounds are real, and will continue to change, some of the surface of the background and the actual truth are very different. If you just use NPCs as a designed backdrop, they will definitely get your panties off. β
"This ...... It's really beyond my imagination, I thought it was just that the AI was relatively high, but I didn't expect the NPC to even form a real society. Emer smacked his lips in surprise, thoughtful.
"Even though we call them NPCs, they actually feel like real people, and I suspect they can pass the Turing test!" Curien spread his hands.
The Turing Test is a test to detect whether an AI has human intelligence, and if the NPCs of the Chosen One have reached the point of passing the Turing Test, then the water of the company is probably really deep.
"Maybe this game is a real world!" Mint blinked, turned his back and said to Immer, "I'm ......"
"Hey! MentheοΌ Be careful! Suddenly, Lucas's anxious shout rang out, "Monster Raid!" β
I saw an extremely fast monster being chased to a stone wall on the side of the road, and I just saw Mint with his back on his back, and the monster fiercely bared its fangs and bit Mint's neck like a thunderbolt!
"Ding!" Just when everyone thought that Mint had been successfully attacked, a giant sword blocked the monster, and the violent impact even caused the monster to knock out a fang!
