Chapter 104: The Gambler
Chapter 104 The Gambler
"What's going on?" I asked the god of war in surprise.
The god of war's answer was very quick, but it was the same as not saying it. "I don't know. I just detected an unidentified energy gathering rapidly in space. β
"Find out what's going on right away."
"It's already being checked."
After explaining to the god of war, I turned to the two goddesses again and said, "You two have also seen it, I don't have time for you to slowly weigh the pros and cons now, whether to join or resist to the end, you should make a decision immediately." β
I guess I really figured it out. The battle goddess said, "We agreed to join, but we have one last request. β
"Say."
"Don't ask why we can come back from the dead."
"Deal." Although I also want to know the answer to the question they said, since they all said it so directly and didn't want people to know, then I had to put up with it. Anyway, I'm just curious about this question, and I don't need to know why.
After the two goddesses agreed to join our guild, Red Moon and I were stunned for a moment. Not because the two of them were willing to join, but because the expected experience points still didn't show up.
"Why is there still no experience sharing?" Red Moon looked at me in surprise and asked.
"There must be enemies hiding in the city." True Red said.
"No, it's probably - not very sexually." I dismissed True Red's speculation and said, "The battle is like this, there can't be any gods in the city who haven't been killed, at least they should be discovered." This is a large-scale war, not a single assassination, stealth or something will not work. I don't think the problem is in the city. β
"Not in town? That's the outside? Red Moon looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Aren't the Protoss outside not counted in this battle?" β
In this battle, the Russian Protoss is the attacker, and our guild is on the defensive side. Although the end of the battle is marked by the total loss of combat effectiveness of one side of the campaign, this loss of combat effectiveness is not equal to death, such as capture, fainting, serious injury, defection and other situations can be regarded as loss of combat effectiveness. But on the other hand, as long as the opponent still has the will to fight and has the ability to fight, even if they are not present, the battle will still not end, which is the default battle judgment method of the system. Unless one of the parties proposes to modify the battle end criteria when it is clear that they have the absolute victory condition, the system will determine whether the battle has ended according to the previous basic battle end method. It's our guilds that have the conditions for victory right now, and we haven't proposed to change the way battles end, which means that the system is still running the campaign monitoring system the way it defaults. This system must have discovered people who were hostile to us, so it didn't end the campaign.
"If the battle judgment system is not over, it means that there must be people from the Russian Protoss who are hostile to us, no matter where the other party is, as long as the system judges that he has the ability to intervene in this battle, then it is impossible to end the battle until he gives up his sense of resistance or is killed by us. Of course, we can also use the initiative we have now to ask the system to forcibly terminate the campaign, but if that happens, I guess we will bury ourselves with an enemy hiding in the shadows in the future. β
The campaign isn't over yet, so we at least know that there's an enemy watching us, ready to strike at us. But if we end the campaign, then the other side can hide and trouble us at any time. If an ordinary person is making trouble for us, it's not a good thing to be targeted by a Protoss. In a large-scale battle like this one, it would not be difficult for us to use the superiority in numbers to eliminate these Protoss in one fell swoop, but with the combat strength of the Protoss, once he lost his organization and completely became a lone wolf, it would be really a big trouble. When the time comes, he can attack us wherever he wants, and our ordinary players can't catch up and can't beat us. It's impossible for high-level players to watch all the time, and besides, our guild is so powerful, and almost all over the world have the power of our guild. It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's hard to prevent thieves for a thousand days!
Red Moon is not a fool, she just didn't react before, but now she reacts when she hears me say this. "Yes! No individual of the Russian Protoss should be allowed to slip through the net, not even one. I'm going to have people search the area, and I'm going to find out about it anyway. β
Although Red Moon said that he would uproot the last remnants of the Russian Protoss, it took a lot of effort to implement it. First of all, we don't know for sure who else hasn't been discovered, whether it's a Protoss hiding somewhere or a group of Protoss scattered somewhere. In short, we are blinded and we don't know anything. Secondly, the Russian Protoss is a very large area, and its internal space is not much smaller than that of the Overworld. Searching for a few Gods who have slipped through the net in such a large area is definitely no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if there are many people in our guild, it is estimated that we will not even be able to see a person-hair-hair-in such a large area, let alone a dragnet investigation.
Since we couldn't find any clues at all, our people searched for it from midnight to dawn the next day, but nothing came of it. On the contrary, there is no good news, but bad news keeps coming. The first is that the battle on the Japanese side has gone wrong again. Forced by Matsumoto Masaga's strong dominance, coupled with the rationality of his tactical arrangement, most of the Japanese guilds, although not for much reason, finally adopted the slingshot tactic that we arranged for Matsumoto Masaga. Originally, everything was carried out well, and the large forces of our guild swept the entire territory of Japan, and those Japanese guilds also took the initiative to cooperate with us in retreating in order to continue the huge slingshot that Matsumoto Masaga said. In this way, in the case of a fierce attack and a deliberate retreat, the combat speed can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. Later, we started to fight against the Russian Protoss, and the reason why we dared to transfer high-level players and powerful NPCs from Japan was because the battle on the Japanese battlefield had come to an end, and there was nothing to worry about, so we took out high-level personnel. Who knew that this was about to be over, but a stunned guild suddenly appeared on the Japanese side.
This newly emerged guild completely ignored Matsumoto Masaga's strategic guidelines, and adopted a diametrically opposed tactic to the other Japanese guilds, and whenever our guild men attacked, they would desperately resist. Originally, it was said that it was nothing if their guild was disobedient, but the key was that the Russian Protoss launched the Ring of Discipline stealing plan in advance, and we were forced to withdraw all the high-level combat power stationed in Japan in advance, so that under the crazy counterattack of that guild, our sweep-sweep-troops actually did not resist, but were snatched back by them.
The gains and losses of two or three cities would have had no impact on the entire battle situation, as long as the large forces of our guild completed the siege, this small guild would still be finished in the end. After all, small guilds are small guilds, we can fill them up with cannon fodder, but they don't have so much manpower and financial resources to resist, so even if our senior personnel are not there, they shouldn't be able to make any waves. However, in the end, we still missed the variable of Onite Nobunaga.
Originally, because of the previous defeat and Matsumoto Masaga's eye-catching appearance, Onite Nobunaga has gradually been squeezed out of Japan's leadership circle. However, after the new guild fought back strongly and received some benefits, Onite Nobunaga jumped out again and began to shout that Matsumoto Masaka's policy was problematic, saying that since someone had already won the victory, it meant that it was now possible to start fighting back. After that, Onite Nobunaga directly led his gang of diehards to launch a counterattack. Our guild can be said to be an empty shelf in Japan at this time, none of the real powerful troops are there, and Ghost Nobunaga leads people to fight like this, how can we stop it? As a result, Onite Nobunaga won a great victory, and the time came to promote a counterattack on the basis of this, so that other Japanese guilds would follow him in launching a counterattack.
Although Matsumoto Masaga is now the head of the Japanese guild, after all, his position has not been very stable since he re-ascended the throne, and the bosses of those Japanese guilds have experienced a period of no-government before, so now they all have a high sense of autonomy, and the result is that the centripetal force and execution are far less than before. Now that he saw that Onite Nobunaga had reaped the actual benefits, many guilds who had already believed in Matsumoto Masaka's plan were now starting to waver. The powerful big guilds have a long-term vision because they have a special staff group, and they are relatively better, but the other short-sighted small guilds can't sit still and have begun to launch counterattacks in advance. Those big guilds originally believed that Matsumoto Masaka was right after listening to the analysis of their own staff, and Matsumoto Masaka's plan was better according to the norm, but people's behavior is often not determined by reason. On the contrary, most of the time people act on instinct rather than reason. Those big guilds who were originally sure that Matsumoto Masaga was right saw that the small guilds had benefited, so they began to worry about whether they would suffer if they started late, and then some of the big guilds that couldn't withstand the temptation began to gradually break away from the original plan and join this counterattack. With the lead, the other big guilds will no longer care about what is rational or irrational, although the pig can eat more meat if it is fattened, but now there are other wolves gnawing on this pig, and if you don't talk about fat pigs, you may not be able to catch the bones. Under this thought, almost all of the guilds in Japan violated the previous agreement and entered the counteroffensive in advance, and then they were surprised to find that the offensive power of our guild was actually very weak, and then naturally a large area of territory was recovered, and the whole of Japan gradually returned to the hands of Japanese players at a faster speed than before.
The situation in Japan is not bad. Although the Japanese guild is now collectively counterattacking and our plan has been frustrated for a while, there is not much problem with the plan itself. As long as we end the battle on this side and transfer the elite forces back to beat those Japanese pain, then the problems on this side will naturally be solved. What really bothers us is the trouble on Russia's side.
Because we sent a large number of elites into the divine realm to exterminate the Russian gods, the result was an emptiness of troops on the battlefield against Russia. Although we have narrowed our lines in an attempt to frighten the Russians with a massive tactical build-up, this plan has not worked. The characteristic of the Russians is that they like to be brute, and the more dangerous they are, the more they rush up, anyway, there are many of them, and they don't care about casualties at all. Originally, if players from other countries found out that our guild would shrink its forces on such a large scale, they would inevitably think that we were planning some big operation. Normally, a large number of scouts should have been sent around at this time, but the Russian commander ordered the entire Russian invasion corps to be assembled into a single force, and then rushed directly towards our large force.
Although we have assembled a large number of troops, and there are still some masters, the problem is that the Russians have more troops, and all the senior personnel are present. The Combined Legion on our side was completely routed with little decent resistance. Without the high-level players pressing the formation, our defensive formation simply cannot be kept complete. Under the several surprise attacks of Russia's top masters, the defense line completely collapsed, and the opponent pressed a large force, and the entire legion completely fell apart.
Now that the Russians have not only routed the army group that our guild is using against them, but even worse, they have invaded the heart of China, which means that the space-for-time strategy we used before is no longer effective. The rear is our densely populated area, and there is simply no way to retreat. And in order to prevent the Russian players from wreaking havoc like Little Japan did back then, we also had to put up a habit of resistance, which made the already collapsed legion suffer even more losses.
So much unfavorable news broke out overnight, which really made us scratch our ears and cheeks in a hurry. But at this time, all the elites of our guild were dragged in the Russian God Realm. It is certainly useful to end the campaign and let these high-ranking personnel go back, but once this side is over, what will happen to that or that group of Protoss who have slipped through the net? If you really leave it alone, it's a time bomb! Who knows when they're going to come out and us again?
"If I knew it would be like this this time, I shouldn't have taken this task!" I sat in the control room next to the god of the army and said with a depressed face. There are many images suspended near us, and those are the leaders of the Guild who have not entered the divine realm, and even Matsumoto Masaga has appeared in the picture.
Hearing my words of self-reproach, Hongyue was the first to comfort: "I can't blame you for this!" Who would have thought that so many things would pop up all of a sudden? β
The god of war also said: "That's right. The reaction of the Japanese guild is a simple herd mentality, but the previous presumptuous guild is strange and does not seem to be spontaneous. And the Russian side, seriously, I really don't understand which military school their commander graduated from! I didn't even understand such an obvious change in tactics, so I directly sent out all the troops! β
It's okay to say on the Japanese side, after all, it looks like someone is behind the scenes, and it's no one else's fault. But it's strange on the Russian side. This time, it was taken advantage of by the Russian army, all because of the blind command of the opposing commander. It's as if Zhuge Liang sang an empty city plan, but instead of the kind of shrewd and cautious general, he met a reckless man who can run a train in his brain. No matter how good the empty city plan is, if you encounter such a stunned person, even if Zhuge Wuhou is alive, it is estimated that he will be angry to death again, no wonder even the cold-hearted computer of the military god has some signs of anger.
"You just said that the situation in Japan is like someone's--indulgent, right?" Su Mei suddenly asked.
"What? Did you find anything? I asked, turning to the screen where Sumi was. Although her intelligence is almost youkai, Sumi is not a combatant after all, so we didn't bring her in this time in the god war.
Su Mei held her chin with one hand and said while thinking: "If there is only an accident on the Japanese side this time, I don't think it is a coincidence, but there are problems on both sides of our battlefield at the same time, I think this is probably not a coincidence." β
"You mean ......?"
"The Russian Protoss should have sent someone to notify the Russian players, and then the Russian players notified the Japanese."
"Notify what?" Red Moon hadn't reacted yet.
"Combat power." Rose Gang Su Mei explained: "After the Russian Protoss came into contact with us, they should have found that our combat power was beyond imagination. Judging from the cooperation between the Russian Protoss and those players in Russia, the Russian Protoss should be quite aware of the combat effectiveness of normal players. And this time they suddenly ran into such a strong battle guild as ours, what do you think they will think? β
"Expect that we're all experts here?" Red Moon replied tentativelyβsexually.
"That's right." Rose continued: "The Russian Protoss must have discovered that we have a large number of masters gathered here, so they would think that we must not have much high-level combat power left in the human world. They then informed the Russian guild of players about the news, which is why they launched a general assault knowing that our forces had gathered into one large force. They are not reckless, but confident. As for the Japanese side, it should have been notified by the Russians as well. β
"In this way, it all makes sense." Hongyue analyzed: "The Russians and the Japanese are so brave to attack because they know that our high-end force is gone. But knowing the reason, it still can't solve the problem! β
"Nope. It's easy to know the cause. Rose said: "The Russian Protoss is basically finished now, so their side should not want to win no matter what." So why haven't they ended the fight yet? β
"In order to hold back the elite power of our guild, our strength in the human realm has been severely damaged." Red Moon replied.
"That's right. We're a player's guild anyway, and our roots aren't here. The remnants of the Russian Protoss want our foundation in the human world to be destroyed, so they drag our senior personnel to prevent us from leaving. And as long as you know that, it's easy to do. β
"What's so easy?" Red Moon still didn't get it.
I couldn't help but help Rose explain, "It's easy. The other party doesn't want us to go, so we must ensure that the teleportation circle is working. This is also the reason why the Russian Protoss is still reluctant to close the magic array after discovering that the sealing divine power has suffered a lot. β
The large magic array of the Russian Protoss is a composite magic array, the main function of which is teleportation, and the incidental function is to seal divine power. But there is a problem, that is, the compound magic array usually cannot be switched on and off separately, that is to say, once the magic array is activated, all the functions in it will take effect, and there is no situation where zΓ i says that only one function is turned on and no other functions are opened. The fact that the Russian Protoss have not closed the teleportation circle since they brought the City of Discipline and us into the Russian Divine Realm shows that they don't want to, but they can't. The Ring of Discipline represents the law itself, so it can't actually be teleported. However, the magic circle itself also has a pull limit, so the Russian Protoss has been maintaining its operation since opening the teleportation circle, forcing the power of the law to be unable to restore the position of the ring of precepts, so that the city of precepts has been stabilized in the Russian god realm. As soon as the magic circle is closed, the entire City of Discipline and the ring of discipline within it should immediately return to its original position, which is the peak of Mount Everest.
It was precisely because the teleportation circle had to fight against the automatic restoration ability of the ring of precepts that the Russian Protoss had to keep it open. Even if they find themselves unable to resist our attacks without divine power, they keep it running. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't. If they close the magic circle, the divine power will be restored, but the city of precepts will be transmitted back to its original place, and when the time comes, the gods of all sides will rush up, and even if they recover their divine power, they will still die, which is why they can't close the magic circle.
Knowing what the Russian Protoss was worried about, what we were going to do next was actually very simple. Since they don't want us to return the city to its original location, we just have to do the opposite.
"You mean to destroy that Super Magic Circle?" Red Moon finally understood part of it.
"Yes, but it's actually a way to not only get us back to earth, but also help us end the battle."
"Why?"
"Because the last remaining hostile individuals of the Russian Protoss should be in the core of this teleportation array. They are the last line of insurance for the Russian Protoss, and if their looting plan fails, they will guarantee to drag us back and not let us go back, thus destroying our guild. β
"Is there any benefit in destroying us?" Hongyue asked with a pair of big eyes and even more incomprehension.
"This ......"
"Oh, Sister Hongyue, why are you so stupid!" Su Mei couldn't help but exclaim: "Of course, the Russian Protoss will not arrange such a plan in order to die with us, their purpose is to bring the Protoss to accompany the burial. β
"What does it matter to destroy us and the other Protoss?"
"Originally, it wasn't our business, but the Ring of Discipline has something to do with us." I explained, "Now that the ring of discipline is in our hands, it seems that the gods can guarantee that they are safe and sound, and they can occasionally cooperate with each other to a limited extent, which can be described as a happy one. But that's just the appearance. There has never been a day when the Protoss really didn't care about each other. Once our guild is finished, and we have lost such an important ring of precepts in the Russian God Realm, what do you think those Protoss will do? β
"I think I'm going to grab it, right?"
"That's right." I continued: "If the Ring of Discipline is lost somewhere in the world, then it is better to say that the gods will at most recover until there is no us before, and they will rob it, but they will not really do anything. But once that thing falls in the Russian god realm, it's a lot of fun. It is easy for a Protoss to leave his own Divine Realm, but it is troublesome to enter the Divine Realm of another Protoss. The other party invites you to come over, which is convenient, but if you don't have the permission of the other party, you have to pay a huge price if you want to enter the other party's god realm, especially if you have to compete for the ring of precepts after entering. At that time, it will inevitably greatly consume the strength of the Protoss of all parties and make them all languid, and even some Protoss will be completely wiped out. At that time, as long as there are even a few descendants left, the Russian Protoss can slowly develop. Because the forces of the Protoss everywhere will not be able to take care of them at that time. Moreover, those Protoss who came to participate in the war would definitely leave a large amount of equipment in the Russian Protoss after they died, which was just enough to allow the remnants of the Russian Protoss to pick up some cheap and help them develop rapidly. Therefore, this trick of the Russian Protoss is definitely a desperate plan. β
"I found that I am the most pure-minded in our guild, and both of you are as good as monkeys!" Red Moon sighed.
Su Mei smiled: "Sister Hongyue, don't laugh at yourself, it's good if you think of a problem, it's really stupid Uncle Ying." Don't you see that people haven't dared to open their minds to ask questions until now? β
"Little girl, have I offended you?" The eagle pretended to be angry and made a few threatening gestures towards Sumei, and then said solemnly: "Now that you know what to do, hurry up!" We can't stand it anymore over here. In the past, we used to bully others with high-level combat power, but this will all be reversed. His three soldiers can't beat two soldiers, and this battle is a little aggrieved! β
"Okay, okay, you try to resist it first, if it doesn't work, I'll allow you to use a secret weapon."
"Secret weapon? Our guild still has a secret weapon? When Matsumoto Masaga heard the secret weapon, both of his eyes were about to glow green. When he was the head of Japan, he was at the end of his rope by the endless secret weapons of our guild, and now when he heard that we had secret weapons again, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Don't get excited! The so-called secret weapon is actually not a high-end thing, it is just an amplification of the -liquefied-magic crystal steam bomb. β
"Zoom in? How big is it? β
"I don't remember exactly how big, but it's not a problem to bomb down a city at a time anyway. It's just a bit of a lot of money, otherwise I'll have people throw ten or eight of them and send them all back to their hometowns when the Russian guys invade! β
As soon as I finished speaking, Rose scolded, "Do you know how much that thing costs?" Or ten eight? Throw one of us and we'll have to count the money to live in the second half of the year, and all ten or eight will be thrown out, what are you going to do next month to start begging on the streets? β
"Won't I just talk about it!" I smiled at Rose and said to Matsumoto Masaka, "You should also hold on to it, and try to bring back all the guilds that can be contained." We will carry out a sweep of those Japanese guilds that do not listen to you, and when the time comes, you can be ruthless, and whoever asks you for asylum again, you just have to ask him to merge into your guild, and other conditions are not to be discussed. I understand now that I can't be too polite when dealing with the Japanese! β
"Hey, boss, take care of me, a Japanese citizen, okay? Please don't scold all the players in Japan next time, okay? β
"I'm sorry, I'm making those walls sloppy. Okay, what should you do, I have to do my best to destroy that super magic array. β
After leaving the God of War, I called a group of high-level players from the guild and went directly to the core area of the super magic array with powerful NPCs. It's useless to do this kind of thing with a lot of people, so I chose a very powerful corner-color-, although all of them are only about 30 people, but just 30 of us can rush a large army of more than 100,000 players, and we won't get hurt in the process, at most it will consume some mana.
Because we were here last time, and the magic array was running, there would be magic emitted itself, so we quickly found the location of that core area. However, this core area is buried underground, and there must be an entrance to it. Considering that it would not be easy to find a small entrance to the city as a cover, we ended up using the most straightforward method, digging a hole directly into the ground and entering the tunnel.
Almost at the same time as the hole was pierced, we suddenly felt the earth around us tighten violently, followed by a huge pressure, and the dirt near us actually pressed towards us in the center of us.
"Spell mana shockwave." One of the players behind me suddenly recited something, and the dirt around him suddenly lost its support, and we fell off the top of the cave with us.
Although we suddenly fell from a high altitude, and there was mud around us to interfere with the movement, none of the people present were rookies, and when we finally landed, none of them fell, and all of them stood firmly on the ground. And the moment they landed, as if they had received an order, everyone suddenly moved neatly, and all of them found a hidden place to hide. The difference between a master and a rookie is clear at a glance, if the average person is at a loss in this situation, but the masters will try their best to find opportunities for themselves. Just like now, because we are all hiding in hiding, even if the enemy on the other side knows that we are coming down, they will not be able to attack us directly.
"I didn't expect you guys to come." After all of us hid, a neutral voice appeared in the passage.
"What? Was it a surprise for us? I hid in the shadows, and I accosted the other party while releasing ghost bugs to spy on the surrounding situation.
"No, I don't think it's strange at all." The guy on the other side said with a little frustration: "In the end, it's still our first move, and it's no wonder that you want to kill them all." β
"I didn't mean to come here, it's just that you Russian Protoss are so hospitable that you won't let us go!"
Hearing my words, there was a noticeable pause on the other side, so he asked tentatively, "Don't you know that the Ring of Discipline is about to return automatically?" β
"What are you talking about? Please be direct. β
"I see! Hahahaha, providence! The Russian Protoss muttered to himself like a psychotic for a while before explaining, "Have you noticed how many times the City of Discipline has vibrated violently? And the vibrations are getting more and more frequent? β
I didn't expect the other person to ask this out of the blue. The City of Discipline was indeed shaken a few times before, and we thought that the Russian Protoss wanted to play some tricks, but the people sent out by the Military God and the Red Moon didn't find any useful information. I didn't expect this guy to know the reason.
"So what?"
"Yes, it means that the City of Discipline is about to leave here and return to your original dimension."
I was about to ask why, but I was about to pretend to stop because I had already thought of a possible reason. The Ring of Precepts is a collection of laws, which itself represents the power of the laws. Although the Russian Protoss used the Super Magic Array to forcibly pull it to the Russian God Realm, the Ring of Discipline is a collection of laws, and its genus-nature determines that it can only exist in the main world of the human realm, and cannot appear in other worlds. This keeps it instinctively resisting teleportation. Therefore, the large teleportation array of the Russian Protoss actually did not completely pull the City of Discipline into the Russian God Realm at all, and our City of Discipline only entered the Russian God Realm for the most part, and it was actually still in the gap between the space. Thinking about this, it is a good explanation why we always felt that the Russian Protoss was particularly weak when we fought with the Russian Protoss before. In fact, the reason for that is not only because the Russian Protoss has lost its divine power, but more importantly, because we are not in the Russian God Realm, but in half space. On the surface, it seems that we are already in the Russian divine realm, but in reality we have not come here at all, and what appears here is only a projection of us. According to the law of space, half space has natural repulsion, while full space has natural suction. That is, it is easy to think of things in half space, but it is difficult for things in normal space to get into half space. Based on this law of space, the external attacks we launch when we are in half space are actually equivalent to being strengthened. However, the attack launched by the Protoss in the positive space must first pass through the spatial barrier before it can hit us, which means that each of us has a natural layer of protection. In the end, it is as if one person is standing on the top of a building, and one person is standing on the ground, and then throwing stones at each other. Without thinking about the accuracy, it must be the person on the roof who took advantage. That's why we feel that the Russian Protoss is so unbeatable, and that our defense seems to have become higher. In fact, the Russian Protoss is still very capable of fighting, and our defense has not become higher, just because the laws of space have helped us.
After figuring out the problem of the laws of space, it is not difficult to guess why the City of Discipline is shaking. Although this magic array created by the Russian Protoss resisted the power of the Ring of Discipline and pulled it extremely close to the Russian God Realm, no matter how strong the magic array was, it was just borrowing the power of the law, no matter how huge and perfect you made it, it could not compete with the law itself. Therefore, although the ring of precepts has been pulled over, it has been consuming the power of the circle. The few vibrations we felt before, it is estimated that the magic array is about to be unable to withstand it, as soon as the magic array collapses, the city of discipline will immediately be restored to its original position by the power of the law.
"Your magic array is about to collapse, isn't it?" Knowing the reason, the questions I asked were naturally different. The people who followed me were suspicious of what I was asking this about, but they didn't say anything, and continued to be careful about what was going on around them. Unlike novices, a big reason why they are so difficult to take out is that they tend to be more cautious than rookies.
The Protoss on the other side heard my question and knew I had guessed the reason. He said helplessly, "Seriously, I really want to destroy your guild. But I can't bear my cute students, so I don't want to fight you guys anymore. If you understand what I mean, then please come in. β
"What? You're going to surrender? β
"No, it's not that I'm going to surrender." The Protoss said, "I will let my disciples join your guild, but I will not join. When you send them away, I will fight you with dignity until you die here. β
Dizzy! Meet a madman! Luckily, this madman has done us a little good. Although it's a bit dangerous for me to go in alone, I'm a player anyway, and it's not a big deal to die once. If the other party is serious, then we will pick up a big bargain.
Tell the people who came with me to be careful, and then I walked out of the hiding place by myself. I saw that the guy who spoke before turned out to be an old man-like guy, wearing a tattered armor, which really gave people a feeling that it was better to be famous than to meet. I thought this was a pretty powerful guy when I heard the voice, but I didn't expect it to be a dirty old man!
"Come, come in with me." Seeing me walk out, the other party didn't say much, and directly beckoned me to follow.
Behind the old man is the end of the passage, and in front of him is a huge earth-cave-structure. However, unlike the node I found last time, this core area is n times larger than the previous one. It felt like the difference between the living room at home and the National Gymnasium.
Around this core area is a circle of passage entrances, each of which is connected by a huge magic wire, and finally converges into a huge altar in the center of the core area, and above that huge altar floats a light body with a diameter of more than a meter. It's not a very small thing, but compared to this huge altar, this ball of light is a little miniaturized.
Probably noticing my gaze, the old man suddenly explained: "This source of faith was originally very large, but because the ring of precepts has been resisting violently, the power of faith has been consumed very quickly, and now there is only so much left. β
"Oh." I nodded, then suddenly reacted, my mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg, and I screamed as I stared at the thing levitating above the altar as if it were bull's eyes. "West...... Sissy ...... The source of faith? You say that thing is the core of the gods of the Russian Protoss? β
"That's right." The old man said very dejectedly: "Those guys are blinded by interests, and they actually want to gamble their future fate with the source of faith. Although if we win, we will be able to climb to the sky, but unfortunately, we will fail, and we will lose completely! β
I looked at the old man in surprise, then looked back at the still whirling core. Now I finally understand why the Russian Protoss wants to seal the divine power. Before, they planned to seal the divine power of the guards of the various gods, which was true, but later it turned out that we were defending, so they should have thought that sealing the divine power would only cause inconvenience to themselves. If it was after the magic array was activated, they didn't dare to close the magic array in order to resist the pull of the ring of precepts, but what about before it was activated? Didn't they start the plan early because they found out I found out about their plan? Why don't you prepare if you find out? I initially blamed this on the fact that the Russian Protoss didn't have time to change the structure of the magic array, but now it seems that it may not be entirely due to that reason. Here's another reason.
The Russian Protoss uses their own divine power core as the power source of the magic array, which means that they are gradually losing their divine power. In other words, even if their magic array is only unilaterally sealing the enemy's divine power, it is still the same for the Russian Protoss, because their divine power core is being used as energy, even if they are not in the sealing range, they still can't use their divine power, it is better to simply seal all the divine power in one go.
"Your leader is really ruthless enough to dare to take this thing out and block it. Without the Divine Power Core, what is the difference between the Protoss and ordinary people? β
"That's why I'm entrusting my apprentices to you." The old man said: "The core is about to be extinguished, and they will all become ordinary people at that time, although they are still more powerful than ordinary people in the world, but they are not gods after all, if they don't find a strong backer, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive!" β
"The Protoss is indeed bad enough to get mixed with you. But ......" I paused deliberately at this point, until the old man showed a worried look before continuing: "But I already have a lot of ordinary soldiers, and it's useless to ask for them. When the old man heard my words, his heart immediately lifted, for I clearly meant that I did not intend to take prisoners. However, just as he was about to argue, I suddenly continued, "But if it's a group of gods, it's different. β
"Hmph, you still have to kill them all! All right! Then let me die here with my apprentices. "With the old man's words, more than a dozen gods who had been hiding in another passage rushed out together to protect the old man in the middle, seeing that the posture was going to fight with me. It's just that without the support of the Divine Power Core, I'm really not afraid of their half-baked Divine Clan.
"Don't worry! I didn't say no, I just didn't want ordinary people. β
"Hmph, the core of divine power is about to be extinguished, and we will soon be ordinary people, what is the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?"
"Of course it's different, because I have a way to keep it." As I spoke, I pointed to the tumbling core of divine power.
