Chapter 33: Purple Sun Run
The gun god is going crazy. Even if his own formation was rushed by the cavalry, the enemies who came to make trouble were still pestering him to fight to the death, and there was no way to assemble his people. In front of the position, the large army of the guild advanced at a neat pace, with a row of heavy shields at the front, and the players of the Holy Lance Alliance who reacted and fired at this side were all discouraged by this row of shields. In fact, these heavy shieldbearers are not human at all, they are all puppets. Raising a shield to move forward is not a complicated job at all, as long as you have strength, it doesn't matter if you have a bright brain or not. If there is any technical content in raising the shield, it is that the pace should be neat, the team should move at the same speed, and there should be no gaps or breaks. But these are small things to the puppet. Have you ever seen a troop of people who walk unneatly? The pace and pace of the puppets of the same model are exactly the same, and the heavy shield positions formed by them are neatly measured with a ruler, and you can only see a black straight line advancing forward at a uniform undulating speed, even if you are temporarily behind due to the terrain or the attack in front of you, you will immediately make up for it.
The puppet shield players are all made up of heavy puppets that weigh five and a half tons, and these puppets are all specially designed to move slightly faster and less agile than the average puppet. They can't even run fast, and their maximum movement speed is about the same as the player's average running speed, thanks to their terrifying height of more than three meters. Big strides are big, and although they seem to be slow, they are not slow. The armor of these specially modified creatures is particularly thickened, and the power output has also been greatly increased, far surpassing their counterparts in terms of strength. They hold heavy shields up to three meters high, and the surface of the shield is carved with the emblem of the guild and a circle of magical symbols. When necessary, the puppet can power up the shield to make the symbols glow and create a magical barrier. Although the price of this kind of fetish all-defense ground shield is not cheap, the effect is definitely the best choice. So far, at least, I've seen no regular troops break through this shield array. Except for oversized Warcraft. These guys are basically not afraid of anything. Even the enemy's heavy cavalry could not touch the wall-like shield.
Behind this indestructible shield array is the Guild's ordinary puppet troops. Although these puppets are just ordinary puppets, they are still puppets after all. Their strong defense makes them a good substitute for heavy infantry units. In the past, when the enemy sneak attacked, the puppet suffered the least damage. These guys don't have the problem that humans will be stunned, their thinking and judgment are very simple, the enemy must be destroyed, and their own people must be protected. Therefore, as soon as the nearby enemies appeared, they were actively attacked. Now, the remaining army of 200,000 puppets is forming the backbone of the guild. The Celestial Army, which consisted of the Celestial Army, the Hook Sickle Army, and the Archer Army, were mixed in a heavy infantry phalanx in a very complex structure. Although this arrangement is more complicated. But after all, it was the military god who calculated the ground formation, which is said to give full play to the strengths of each class and restrain most of the enemy's ground advantages with perfect small corps.
There are almost one million NPC Heavenly Soldiers and puppets left in this guild, and such a large number is definitely amazing. The enemy on the opposite side had finally come to a complete halt, and the cavalry charge had already made them realize that death was near. However, at this time, there is not much difference between being aware of the danger and not being aware of it. The kid of the gun god is enough to be a bachelor, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he simply ran to the side with his own people. He wanted to keep the last of his living strength in case he could deal with us later, but I wouldn't be so stupid as to let him run away.
"Cavalry, follow me. Don't let them run out of the encirclement. ”
"Yes." A large number of cavalry followed me in the direction of the retreat of the spearman.
Four legs must have been faster than two, and our cavalry rushed ahead of them and stopped them all. One of the more horizontal guys actually tried to rush up and knock me down. As a result, Nightshade turned around and kicked him with a **, and then the guy flew directly over everyone's heads and fell into the crowd behind.
"Hahahaha...... Gun God, why did you run away when you saw me? That's rude! ”
"If you get cheap, sell it, you ......!" The guy next to the spearman tried to scold me, but before he could finish his sentence, he was shot through the head by an arrow from the archers behind me.
"Oops. What an accident! Gun God. You wouldn't mind, would you? I know you've always been very magnanimous. ”
The spear god's face was red and his whole body trembled when he was angry, but he didn't dare to move. The tens of thousands of heavy cavalry behind me are not pretty, they are a large number of people. The black pressure stretched out for miles, and if they really had to rush again, they wouldn't be able to do it, and there would be no one.
"Ziri, you don't have to do this to me, do you?"
"What did I do to you? Am I being very polite? ”
"Okay, count you ruthless!" The spearman suddenly lifted the gun in his hand, but I moved faster than he did, and put the sword down his throat first.
"Look how bad this is!" I smiled proudly, and at the same time raised my left hand and waved forward, and the cavalry behind immediately crossed me and killed the enemy's formation. I deliberately pushed the sword in my hand forward: "After fighting for so long, I think you look the most pleasing to the eye now." ”
"I'm the opposite of you."
"I'm guessing that's what you think too."
The spearman took advantage of my smug smile and suddenly stepped back. Then he crouched down and tried to dodge back, but he only made a trend and stood up honestly, because it was only then that he realized that there were two moon blades hanging behind his back, and one of them was against the back of his heart. When he flashed back just now, he had already allowed himself to be stabbed, so he stood back so honestly.
"You see, I've always been very polite, but you're not very cooperative."
"You'd better not fall into my hands next time." After the spear god finished speaking to me, he suddenly reached out and pressed a switch on his waist, and without hesitation, I used my hand to bring a piece of blood from his throat for eternity, and at the same time, two and a half moons passed through his body. Immediately, I sent Nightshade back a long way, reminding the people around me not to approach either. Sure enough, the spear god who had just been wiped off his neck by me exploded with a bang as soon as he fell. This guy is a terrorist. I actually carried so many bombs on my body, thanks to my cleverness, otherwise I would have been on his back!
After the fall of the Spear God, the ground army of the Holy Lance Alliance was completely finished, and there was no establishment and no president. In such a chaotic situation, they will only be slaughtered. The guild's heavy infantry phalanx surrounded these people with a shield wall, and then drove them towards the edge of the magma pool little by little, and as the pressure outside increased, the people closest to the magma pool were squeezed down the magma pool first, followed by more people being pushed down one after another. This oppressive tactic of ours worked very well, almost equal to having two fronts slaughtering the enemy at the same time.
******
After about half an hour all the enemy was wiped out, and our losses were minimal. The regular army marched in a neat formation to attack the chaotic crowd, which of course could only lead to this. Now the remaining task is to clear the enemy on the nearby islands, but this task can be handed over to King Chuang's fleet, anyway, the previous "mole" has almost solved the enemy.
Rose stood beside me and handed over a form: "This is the loss of this battle field, it will be added to us after following the system prompts." I just don't know in what form. There are also guild revisions that have been adjusted after collecting the information of this campaign. ”
"Isn't it? You can dig up so much research in a battle? ”
"I didn't turn it out, this is where the god of war summed it up. Do you think I have the energy to write a report in battle? ”
"That's right."
"By the way, this is for you." Rose suddenly handed over a red pill.
"What is this?"
"See for yourself. I still have something. With that, Rose turned and ran towards the other members of the guild.
I took the red pill in my hand and looked at the attributes. As a result, I almost didn't jump. "Evolution pills?" I never thought that the properties of this thing were so exaggerated, and it could actually promote the evolution of the user. I was about to take a closer look when I heard a system prompt go off.
"Congratulations to the player Ziri for his full experience points, and now he has officially upgraded to the first thousand-level player in this system."
"I'm max out?" I looked at the attributes in surprise, and sure enough, it was at the full level. Since I'm the guild leader, I have extra XP rewards for killing monsters in the guild. Usually guild presidents have a lot of guild affairs to deal with. Therefore, there is not much time to level up, and this method of giving extra rewards to the presidents is to take care of these leaders. But I'm an outlier in it, because the guilds support the professions and think tanks. I almost didn't need to manage the guild myself, so I often ran around doing tasks outside, although I wasn't actively leveling up, but I didn't rise slowly, plus the experience points in the guild subsidized, I naturally rose faster than others. I had taken the experience doubling pill before this big mission, and I was sure that I was close to the full point just now, but someone killed another monster, and I immediately upgraded some of the experience points I shared.
The system prompts don't stop. Instead, he continued: "As the first player to complete the 1,000th level upgrade and the first player to reach the maximum level of XP twice, the system will give a special challenge mission. ”
The so-called two degrees to reach the full level is not accurate, and the correct statement should be three. In fact, I have had experience points close to level 1,000 twice before, but because the level task was not completed at that time, I was bounced back after hitting the grading line, and then I was deducted experience points because of some things, and I kept hovering at level 999 and couldn't move forward. This time it can be said that the public morality is complete, and all the tasks have been completed, and the experience points will naturally rise all at once after completing such a large-scale task.
The system prompt is still saying: "Under the normal standard, the player who completes the special level upgrade requirements first can get the special reward of this system, you have personally won it many times before, and this time is no exception, this system still prepares prizes, but there is also a challenge task to provide options." ”
"Why do you have to do tasks with reward things?" I immediately asked the system. Now this is a personal notification, not a system broadcast, so you can ask questions.
"There is a mistake in your understanding. This challenge task is optional, and you can choose to decline the task. ”
If the average person estimates it, I would just refuse it right now, but I'm not an ordinary person. According to human standards, the IQ of our dragon clan is already close to two hundred and sixteen, and it is impossible not to think of the hidden problems in it. "Can you tell me the difference between accepting a task and rejecting it?"
"If you refuse the task. The system will allow you to choose one of the three rewards given according to the general process; If you accept a quest, you will immediately start a challenge quest, and when you complete the quest, you can choose two of these three choices and receive a mystery gift, and one of the qiē benefits you will receive along the way will be yours personally. But. Once you accept the mission but can't complete it, the system will help you make up for the items and experience points lost in the mission, and all the mission rewards will be canceled, and you will not be able to get any benefits. ”
The system prompt is very clear, and there are only three possibilities for the situation I am encountering now: 1. The worst case, I didn't complete the task and couldn't get anything, but I won't lose anything; 2. In a medium situation, if you don't take the task, you will directly take a reward and leave; 3. In the best case, if you take the task and complete it successfully, you can get two rewards and a special gift, and all the benefits in the process of the task belong to me.
Although there are three cases, the choice is up to me. Not taking on assignments is obviously not quite in line with my personality. I can't tell if I can do this after that. After all, the content of the mission is not yet known. But one thing I know for sure is that in terms of my combat effectiveness, this task will not be too difficult. After all, this is a reward task, which is meant to be the icing on the cake, and it can't be set up like a level task.
Since the task is not difficult. That said, the success rate is high. Although it is not explicitly stated, the reward is also very generous if you listen to the meaning of the system prompt. If you don't try it again in such good conditions. That's damn it.
"Can I ask about the mission first?" Although I have decided to accept the mission, it is not a bad thing to know more things beforehand.
Unfortunately, the main system doesn't seem to be willing to meet my requirements. "Players are not allowed to know anything about the content of the mission or the reward until the mission is confirmed. Please have 30 seconds to decide whether or not to accept this challenge. ”
"Accept."
"Task acceptance." The system prompt paused before continuing: "Player Ziri accepts the challenge task, and now announces the detailed mission information." "A map suddenly appeared in front of me." This mission will be carried out under the regular game map, and there will be no additional mission space. During the game, a qiē recovery item such as a medicine consumed will be automatically restored at the end of the mission, regardless of victory or defeat. Please note, however, that this reply only includes restorative items, with the exception of medications such as body increases or experience increases. Since the player's Purple Sun Ground equipment is an indestructible and non-losing item, it will no longer provide additional protection. The map currently shown is the action map for this mission. to be automatically added to the player's personal atlas. The quest starts with a teleportation to this location. A red dot lit up on the map.
"Isn't this Isengard?"
The system didn't pay attention to me at all, but continued to introduce: "The forward route is the route marked in red on the map, and the end point is this green dot." You have to cover the entire distance in forty-eight hours. The mission is introduced. ”
"Huh? What the? Is that gone? What about the mission? What the hell am I fighting with? ”
"That's what it's all about. The content of the mission is to move within a limited time. ”
"So it's just a time trial, huh? Haha, how can this task take forty-eight hours? Forty minutes to run! ”
"Note that task restrictions have not yet been announced."
"What's the limit?"
"During the mission, only the Demon Pet Nightshade is allowed to be used as a mount, and it can only be used in areas marked in yellow on the map, and other sections need to be walked forward. Any pet can be used to participate in the battle during the mission. However, it is forbidden to use other magic pets other than Night Shadow as mounts. It is forbidden to use the flight function to move around the map during the full mission, but combat with the flight ability is allowed. The use of stamina regeneration drugs is prohibited during the mission, including stamina regeneration spells. ”
"Damn, isn't it?" I used to think that forty-eight hours was too long because it wasn't a long journey, and if I had ridden a bird, it would have taken more than an hour at most, and even if I had ridden the Night Shadow for the whole time, it would only take four or five hours. The problem was that flying was absolutely forbidden, and the use of the Nightshade was less than a third of the way, which meant that I had to run two-thirds of the way. Even though I'm not slow, I'm still too bad compared to Nightshade. The most important problem is that my ground speed is only combat speed, and I am not as good as Nightshade's stamina. He can run more than 1,000 kilometers in one go, and I can run a maximum of 100 kilometers before I have to stop and rest for a long time. Wait until your stamina is fully restored before you can run this long distance again. The damn system also restricts the ability to use stamina to restore potions and magic, so you can only rely on it to automatically recover, which is as slow as you can imagine. Another problem is combat attrition. According to what the system just said, you can use the ability to fly, and the battle will definitely take place in this process. But fighting also consumes stamina. I don't have enough stamina, and if I lose some of it to the battle. Forty-eight hours was not too long but too short, and I doubted that I would be able to complete it in forty-eight hours.
The system didn't care if I could complete the task, and it continued to read out the mission notes. "You can go offline during the mission, and the countdown of the task will also stop at the same time as the offline, and the countdown will resume after going online again, but five minutes of task time will be deducted from each offline regardless of the length of time. During the mission, you must not team up or ask for help from others, and all combat content must be completed independently by minions and yourself. ”
"Understood. Is that going to start right away? ”
"The quest will officially start in ten minutes, and before that, I would like to inform you that this quest will be associated with a large number of player quests. Therefore, the road will be blocked by a large number of people. Killing hostile players in battle does not increase Evil, and grants three times more experience. ”
After listening to it for a long time, I finally have a good word. Triple the experience points, which means that you can earn a lot of experience along the way. It's just that the task has a time limit. There's no way to brush up on the points!
After the announcement ended, the system only gave me a few minutes and Rose to explain to them, and then I was teleported out of the mission in advance. Although the mission of the world's first guild battle for supremacy is not over yet, the gun god has been killed. The enemy also died, and all that was left was finishing work, and even if there was an accident, it would be nothing more than a big loss. Victory is certain. Besides, there are roses and their think tanks, and it's almost the same with or without me.
Ten minutes will be there quickly. I was teleported directly back to Isinger. As soon as I walked out of the teleportation array, I felt a chill rush up from the soles of my feet, and the reason was actually very clear, it was nothing more than the space being empty. Now Isinger is no longer the flat city it used to be. The twin reflections in the sky, the moving fortress above the clouds, and the dark dungeon underneath make up the current four-in-one layout of Issinger, and its actual use area is quite huge. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no problem at all with the current 60 or 70 million people in Esinger. But now most of our people are still in the mission space, and only one-third of the normal number of people have returned. Besides, even if all the members of the guild come back, Isenger is actually still very empty, and usually seems to be more prosperous, just because there are a lot of outsiders playing in the outer city, and when there are those people, free NPCs will also come out to move. It's not over yet. The city of the guild is still under the protection of the system, people from outside can't enter, and the free NPCs are all gone, so it naturally feels terrible to be in the open space. The big one Issinger now looks like a veritable ghost town.
I moved a little to dispel the sensory coldness, and then summoned the Nightshade and ran out of Isengard. According to the mission map, the first part of the city can be used as a substitute for Nightshade, so I have to seize this rare opportunity to try to buy as much time as possible. Only minimizing the amount of time consumed on sections with night shadows can minimize the possibility of mission failure.
It's a pity that people are not as good as the sky, or players are not as good as the system. Damn the task system wasn't intended for me to simply do a track and field sport, or the rewards weren't so easy to get.
I had just run out of the city without a hitch, using Nightshade's extreme speed to rush through the vast forest around Isinger, but I knew I was in trouble when the first city appeared.
"Damn, the system really gave me face, and it actually used a city to block me."
"Who told you to have a big face!" Nightshade looked back at me on his back and said, "I've already saved you a lot of time before, and I can't help you in the following section, so ask for more blessings!" ”
I looked at the city ahead of me with its gates closed, and it was clear that it was ready to stop me. I could have gotten around it in normal times, but the problem was that the mission map clearly indicated that I had to go through the city, so I had to rush!
"Is it President Purple Sun down in the city?" I'm worried. Someone shouted above the city gate.
"It's me."
"Xinghui. I am the lord of this city, and I am in turmoil. President Purple Sun, we know that you are the president of the Great Guild, but we can't help it after taking such an unlucky task, don't blame us! ”
It turns out that these guys are afraid that I will retaliate against them. There are no laws in the game, and the big fist is the boss. A large guild like the Frost Rose is like killing an ant if you want to crush a small guild. If they intercept me now in order to complete the mission, and the mission ends in the future, it is indeed very likely that I will mobilize the guild forces to trouble them if I am a little narrow-minded. Of course, I didn't actually think about it at all. But it indirectly reminded me. The mission doesn't have to be fought all the way, right? Sometimes it's completely possible to outwit it!
"Hey. Wind and rain. What are the penalties for not completing your mission? ”
Maybe I didn't expect me to ask like this, and the other party was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted again. "If you can't complete the task, all players in our guild will be downgraded by one level as a whole."
Damn, this system is really ruthless enough, and you dare to use such a severe punishment.
"And what if you're done?"
"Then we can get a six-hundred-level guild guardian beast, which is equivalent to one more demon pet per person. It doesn't occupy the position of a magic pet yet. ”
As soon as I rolled my eyes, I had a solution. "I'll talk to you about something."
"Please."
"You let me go, and then I will be punished by the system. After the completion of the return task, those of you who meet our standards and are willing to join our guild can join our guild, which is equivalent to having several magic pets at once. The guild's land guardian creatures are so numerous and useful that they're certainly many times higher than your reward. As for those who don't want to join. I'll send someone to take you to the high-level monster area to level up, and bring each of you up to five levels, what do you think? ”
The other party was obviously hesitant. They seem to want to agree, but they can't make up their minds. I decided to give him one more push. "Actually, you also know that I can't beat your entire guild alone. But I'm going to rush over, and you can't stop it. Your role is nothing more than to make me waste more time. But my task is a timed task, and the lack of space is time. That's why I'm negotiating with you. If you insist on fighting, I won't do me any good. But you will also be punished. At least you won't lose money working with me. ”
It may be that the other party also realized that these people alone really couldn't stop me, so he nodded immediately after I finished saying this time. "Oh well! We let you go and give up the task on our own initiative. ”
Hey. This task is indeed a trick. If I really want to fight hard, I will definitely be able to rush to the ground, but judging by the number of opponents, I don't expect to go out from the opposite city gate in an hour or two, and besides, a lot of stamina will definitely be consumed in the battle, even if you rush out, you have to stop and rest if you can't run far, and this time consumption is terrible. But now that it's all settled, and I have convinced the other party, then there is no need to fight. In such a small city, it only took me more than ten minutes to run from one end to the other, which saved a lot of time at once.
Now that the negotiations are over. I'm not going to be polite to that guy anymore. Directly ask them to open the city gates, then transform into werewolf form and start running forward. From here, you have to walk a long way ahead, and turning into a werewolf on foot is naturally the best choice. Not only is the werewolf mode much faster than usual, but it also has a lot more stamina, which can help me run a little longer.
In addition to turning into a werewolf, I actually came up with a good idea, which is that I can switch to the trumpet mode after the stamina of the large ground here is exhausted. Since my size and size are the same, I can do most of the non-specific tasks except for the level level quests. The default state of my small and large trumpet is online at the same time, and when the large trumpet is depleted of attributes, I can switch to the small trumpet. If you are a normal player, when using a small number, the large number is equivalent to being offline, but I am different, my large and small numbers are online at the same time. This means that when I switch to the small trumpet movement after the stamina of the tuba bottoms out, the tuba is actually slowly regaining its stamina, rather than being offline like the average player and not recovering its basic stats. In this way, the two numbers run alternately. Even if Silver Moon is not as fast as Purple Sun in terms of movement speed, it is at least better than sitting there and waiting for the stamina to slowly recover.
After thinking of a way to start implementing it, I ran all the way through this small city to the tuba and endurance bottomed out in one go, and then switched to the silver moon trumpet to continue running. Although I can't use the magic pet to travel in this process, it doesn't mean that the magic pet is completely useless, at least they can help me reduce some unnecessary consumption. For example, Rose Vine and Pioneer can help me fill in the road ahead of me, so that I don't have to consume extra stamina points due to bad road conditions. Ling and Xiaochun, on the other hand, can use magic such as strength and agility to increase my stamina limit and increase my movement speed. Although the system forbids me to use stamina regeneration drugs and magic, it doesn't mean that I can't increase the upper limit of stamina.
In short, there are policies and countermeasures, and the tasks do not have to be done according to the system settings, and it is always beneficial to use your brains.
