Chapter 40: Through the Enemy Camp
For the next day, Shen Yi was preparing to deal with the Lich King Arceth. Buying those honor props before, Shen Yi spent almost all of his honor points, but the task of clearing the fishmen made him earn another 400 points.
Shen Yi spent all of these camp honors unambiguously, but this time, he no longer used them to buy those treasures, but all of them were used to buy mana recovery potions. A medium bottle of mana recovery potion can restore 50 points of spirit, and it requires forty points of camp honor, even if all of them are exhausted, Shen Yi will only buy eleven bottles.
For this reason, Shen Yi felt a headache, but he was helpless.
Early the next morning, Shen Yi brought Gentle, Hong Lang, Fatty, Pandora, and the Wild Bull Team to the predetermined assembly place, the Dragon Tooth Team and the Eternal Night, as well as King Kong Zhou Yiyu, were already waiting here.
The four teams gathered together, including six from Broken Blade, six from Brute, seven from Dragon's Tooth, nine from Eternal Night, plus Pandora, for a total of twenty-nine people, which can be regarded as unprecedented in strength and at the peak of the lineup.
A lineup like this is more than enough to wipe out a small country on Earth.
Of course, after all, they had to deal with the Lich King Arceus, who was already at the level of a demon god, and it was impossible to overdo it.
You must know that this time is not like the original fight Diablo, at that time Diablo was an incomplete body, there was no resurrection ability, and there was no girl in white to help them cheat this time.
Of course, now they are no longer at the level of the dark world, and both sides have made a great leap in strength, whether they are friends or enemies.
Because of this, the focus of this fight is completely different from the last time Diablo was played.
In the original battle with Diablo, Shen Yi and the others only wanted to kill Diablo, it can be said that they did everything, and all kinds of means emerged one after another, and all the capital at the bottom of the box was taken out. As a result, for the sake of a Diablo, he suffered heavy casualties, the sacred shelter, several bottles of high-grade blood were all consumed, and even the divine soul was used, this kind of payment was absolutely unacceptable to adventurers.
In a sense, Shen Yi didn't make as much money as he lost.
Everyone fights bosses to make money, and forcing them like this, even if it is successful, it doesn't make much sense, and it's not worth emulating in essence.
In fact, although the demon god is powerful, in the vast majority of battles with the demon god in the city, the adventurer wins, and the death price usually does not exceed ten percent of the number of participants, which is already the upper limit of the risk that the adventurer can accept.
Further up, no one can be sure whether it is themselves who died.
Therefore, this time the battle must return to the right path, on the premise of reducing casualties and reducing consumption.
Shen Yi had seen the battle between Zhou Hao and the Demon God of the Yunhai Team in the fourth difficulty, and that time the two of them, with the combined efforts of fourteen people, eliminated a Demon God, and they were not damaged.
Shen Yi and they are three difficulties, and they can't be compared in quality, so they can only make up for it in quantity.
At this moment, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "Since they have all arrived, then I won't talk nonsense, what we have to deal with this time is a demon god-level existence, even if it is just a new demon god, it is not easy to deal with, are you all ready?"
"Of course, as long as your information is correct. Lao Meng still has that sinister tone, listening to him, it seems that there is a nine-day cold wind blowing around him, I don't know what hostility this kid has towards Shen Yi, in fact, this is what he says.
"Just because the sources of information are absolutely reliable, that doesn't mean we can be negligent. Although Arceth is a new Demon God, he also has four Divine Souls, which means that we will have to destroy him at least five times......"
The most troublesome thing about the battle with the demon god is that they can be resurrected non-stop, and they are almost unkillable. Don't think you can kill twice if you can kill once, some things are really not that simple.
If it weren't for the communication with Zhou Hao of the Yunhai team, Shen Yi would not have thought that the battle with the demon god could be so cruel and torturous.
For adventurers of the fourth difficulty, it is never difficult to kill the demon god for the first time, everyone has all kinds of unique skills, and they take turns to bombard, even if it has 100,000 lives, it is also bombarded.
The problem is that with the endless resurrection of the demon gods, some of the demon gods have even become stronger, but the spiritual power of the adventurers has begun to dry up.
That's right, mental power, which was once not too much trouble for adventurers, has become their biggest bottleneck in the battle against the demon gods.
In the past, a battle could often be resolved in just ten minutes, and mental power was never the factor that constrained everyone. But to deal with the demon god, even if you kill it once, it will take at least ten to twenty minutes.
With the resurrection of the demon god again and again, it is simply too normal for a battle to last for hours. The adventurer's physical strength may still be able to support such a high-intensity consumption, but the mental power is unbearable, and the result is that in the middle and late stages, everyone often does not have enough energy to release skills, so they can only fight hard with the boss with one punch and one kick, and drink the hard top of the medicine, and the result can be imagined.
Many adventurers who failed in the Battle of the Demon God were defeated by the lack of follow-up power.
Shen Yi roughly made an estimate that if all the adventurers present used up all their spiritual power, it would be almost enough to kill a demon god with a life of about 30,000.
But then, with the target's first resurrection, thirty adventurers fall into a state where no skills are available.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Yi prepared a large number of potions to restore mental power, and also asked Wei Na and Lao Meng to prepare. Even so, these mental power recovery potions were not enough to sustain a large-scale battle that would take a long time.
“…… So, in the battle with Arces, we must not exhaust our spirits at the beginning, we must combine effectively and prolong the fight as long as possible, and my plan is to spend three hours solving this battle. ”
The will reaches a hundred, and the mental power recovers a little bit every minute.
In three hours, an adventurer with a high will, who is basically high enough, recovers two rounds of spirit in battle, which is extremely important for later battles.
Wei Na immediately said: "But in this way, Arces will have more room to play." The more time passes, the more damage he does to our attacks, and the more heal we need. ”
The reason why the mental power is not enough is not only because it is used to kill and injure the enemy, but more importantly, to heal oneself. Based on the calculation of 70 points of spirit for each adventurer and 300 damage for every 10 points of spirit, thirty adventurers can reasonably cause damage equivalent to 60,000 points, and the reason why it is said that it is just able to kill a demon god with about 30,000 vitality is because there are a considerable number of skills to be used for support, defense and healing.
But with the extension of time, the number of attacks of Arceth will inevitably increase, so that everyone's mental power will have time to recover, but the auxiliary consumption will also increase significantly.
Shen Yi replied: "So we need a lot of cannon fodder that can help us absorb damage." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lao Meng and then at Pandora.
Lao Meng smiled: "Eight hundred undead warriors who are more elite than last time, as long as you can get me the Frost Sorrow, you can use them however you want." ”
Pandora's face changed slightly.
She finally understood why Shen Yi had brought her over.
In fact, when she learned that they were going to kill the Lich King, she was really shocked. It stands to reason that this kind of high-stakes action would not allow her to participate in an untrusted outsider, but as Shen Yi explained the tactics, Pandora finally realized her role.
Her Demon Gate summons a steady stream of demonic assistants, which is the best skill to use as cannon fodder to attract damage.
In Shen Yi's plan, Lao Meng's undead warriors, Pandora's demon gates, the beast herd summoning of the Eternal Night, his own T850 Terminator, and even airborne troops and Transformers if necessary, all of them will be used as cannon fodder to attract firepower.
This plan is basically the safest plan that Shen Yi can think of. Unlike the last time, when he had to kill Diablo at all costs, this time all his ideas were based on reducing casualties.
There is no way, the people who participated in the operation this time are their own people, and since they can't find a substitute for the dead ghost, they can only use summoning life instead.
"Basically, the plan is this, twenty-nine people are divided into three groups, and they take turns with cannon fodder, and all of them must maintain a state of at least one-third of their mental power remaining. Adventurers with medical support abilities are not allowed to use any skills against Arceth and concentrate on protecting their own people. All items that can restore mental power are used by support adventurers. We try our best to deal with it in a normal way of attack, not to kill the enemy, but to protect ourselves first, even if it is grinding, we must grind Arceus to death...... Oh yes, try not to use the group damage skill, not only is it a waste, but it may also hurt your own people by mistake. ”
Since this mission is a four-zone battle mode, adventurers in other areas are automatically judged to be hostile forces by the city. Shen Yi and the others can be complicit in private, but they don't admit it in the rules, resulting in once they use the group damage skill, they will inevitably injure others by mistake, even if they are in the same team as King Kong.
"Got it, is there anything else you want to remind?" Wei Na looked at Shen Yi and asked, a pair of bright big eyes flashed with a strange light, making Wen Rou look extremely uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi replied: "...... Actually, against Arceth, I have a new killer weapon, but this killer weapon is very costly, and I am easily reluctant to use it. If I do have to use it, I hope to be compensated. ”
As he spoke, Shen Yi nodded to Hong Lang, and Hong Lang took out the paralysis ring.
When they saw the ring, everyone's eyes lit up at the same time.
No one expected that the Broken Blade Team would already have pseudo-artifact-level props at this time, and they all became excited.
Shen Yi had already said lightly: "Everyone has seen that this thing only has a total of five chances to use, and each time it is used is a huge loss, so I have the right to ask that when the war is unfavorable and I am forced to use it, then my Broken Blade team has the right to get an additional option for a reward." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Wei Na together.
Since Lao Meng and the Brute Bull team already had a designated target, the extra selection opportunities did not affect them much, but Wei Na came with the Eternal Night with the purpose of sharing the remaining rewards - anyway, as long as the rewards from the Demon God were all good things, and she was not picky eaters.
Shen Yi's choice of an extra reward will undoubtedly be a loss for her.
Speaking of consumables, in fact, everyone has them and will use them, so it stands to reason that they should not be calculated additionally, but consumables like the paralysis ring are of great significance after all, and Shen Yi has to take them out alone.
Wei Na thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but it must be used after I agree...... Hopefully I won't need it. ”
Shen Yi smiled: "Of course, I just hope everyone understands, after all, this is also what I paid a lot of money for." ”
Hong Lang muttered on the side: "Massive garbage." ”
Shen Yi quietly took half a step back and stepped on Hong Lang's feet, so Hong Lang's whole face was painfully deformed.
Next, after everyone has discussed the specific tactical plan, they will march towards the Frozen Throne together.
Because of the Wild Bull Team and the Dragon's Tooth, they actually met each other for the first time on the Eternal Night, and along the way, the three teams got closer, talking and laughing with each other, mainly to enhance understanding and establish friendships. The most taboo thing about multi-team cooperation is to have their own thoughts. The stakes are high in this attack on the Lich King, and no one wants to get involved, so it's always good to know more.
The Frozen Throne is not far from Ashendale, and to get there is to travel through Ashenvale, the stronghold of the undead. This was originally an obstacle that had to be passed through before dealing with the Lich King, just like the boss is not easy for anyone to see.
But with Lao Meng's internal response, this problem can be easily solved. Lao Meng exchanged a batch of undead cloaks from the base, as long as he draped this cloak on his body, he could cover the aura of life on his body, and he was mistaken for a soldier of the undead camp.
However, this thing can only deceive ordinary undead soldiers with low intelligence, and it is not very useful for soldiers at the captain level with high intelligence. Fortunately, Lao Meng himself did not intend to deceive them, all he had to do was to lead everyone from a small path in the base through the Ash Valley to the Frozen Throne.
With the help of the Cloak of the Undead, Shen Yi and the others successfully passed through the periphery of the base and entered the interior. When they got here, everyone's mood became nervous, and they were careful not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, once discovered, everyone will be under siege.
To be honest, if Lao Meng has bad intentions, this is an opportunity to kill everyone.
Entering the base, Lao Meng pointed to a small road not far away: "Let's go from there, there is no captain-level person there, with our speed, it only takes ten minutes to cross the entire gray valley and reach the foot of the frozen throne." ”
"Let's go, I honestly don't want to stay in this place for a minute. Chu Sheng urged: "I really don't know how you stay in this ghost place." ”
The entire undead base looks like a huge cemetery, full of desolation, countless ghosts and undead travel here, ghostly, and from time to time there are all kinds of desolate and desolate sounds, being in this place, it is like being in the world of a horror movie, not only the scene is scary, but there is also a soundtrack.
Chu Sheng's words resonated with everyone, glad that he didn't choose the undead camp in the North District, otherwise he would have to live in this kind of ghost place for fifteen days, mixing with the dead corpses every day, and he really didn't need to be killed, and he would die of disgust.
On the contrary, Lao Meng laughed a few times, maybe only he can enjoy this. As for the other members of the Dragon Tooth Team next to them, they all showed helplessness on their faces.
Huang Tianyang sighed: "After staying for a long time, you will get used to it." ”
No matter how you listen to his tone, it doesn't look like you're used to it.
I walked along the path of the base, and I saw that I was about to leave the Ash Valley.
Suddenly, Lao Meng raised his hand and asked everyone to stop: "Wait, the scout I arranged told me that there is a captain in front." ”
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the captain on this road had been transferred?" asked Hongyin.
Luo Sheng shrugged: "I am responsible for this matter, and it has indeed been transferred, and now I don't know what's going on." ”
"Let me see. Shen Yi said.
He took out the crystal ball and wiped it casually, and the scene ahead of him appeared in the crystal ball. Unlike in the game, the Crystal Ball's peep ability looks more like how it is used in the Lord of the Rings.
Two hundred meters ahead, a group of undead warriors were gathering, and these warriors were riding undead bone horses one by one, which was a class that had never been seen in Warcraft games.
And in front of the group of undead cavalry, there was a knight with a particularly tall figure, his whole body shrouded in black iron armor, and some black netherworld aura seeped out from the crack in the iron armor from time to time. Under his crotch he rode a bone horse covered in barbs and a halo of fire under his feet, and in his hand he held a knight's spear of great length, looking majestic and unbeatable.
As soon as Lao Meng saw the picture, he blurted out: "Hell, it's Berks!"
"Who is Burks?" Shen Yi looked at Lao Meng.
Lao Meng pointed to the dark knight on the screen: "That's this guy, he is the cavalry leader of the undead camp, the nightmare knight, responsible for leading a team of dark cavalry, Tavius's deputy, and the most powerful of the ten commanders, one-on-one, I am afraid that the only one among us who can beat him is Hong Lang." ”
As soon as he said this, many people snorted unconvinced at the same time, especially Chu Sheng, Dean and others of the Brute Bull Team, these guys are all used to fighting tough battles, if they are arrogant, they may not be much lower than Chen Yuntao, but they are not so arrogant.
However, Lao Meng's next sentence made everyone shut up, he said: "I'm talking about the flood with the paralysis ring." ”
"Why is this guy here?" asked Shen Yi.
"I don't know, but it looks like they're rallying...... Hell, what are the undead knights doing when they assemble?"
"What should I do now?" Chu Sheng asked Shen Yi.
"No, I can't. Shen Yi immediately shook his head. It's easy to punch hard, but it's troublesome later. Once Tavius knew that a group of men had forced their way through the Ashen Valley to the Frozen Throne, he would know who they were going for if he thought with his rotten toes.
If he didn't immediately mobilize a large army to return to the rescue of the Frozen Throne, then he, the leader of the undead, would not have to do it again.
It's one thing to deal with one Lich King, it's another thing to deal with one Lich King and the entire Undead faction.
"We can't stop here forever, the more we drag it on, the more dangerous it becomes. Maybe these guys are coming for us!" said Vina. When she said this, she had already begun to look at Lao Meng with suspicious eyes.
Lao Meng snorted coldly, but he didn't explain, but it was the Chang family brothers and others who glared angrily at Wei Na, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Wei Na's suspicions.
"Don't worry. Shen Yi was still staring at the picture. On the screen, a large number of undead cavalry are still gathering, and the nightmare knight Berks, led by him, has two blue rays flickering slightly in his empty eye sockets.
Behind him, there were several more people standing. Due to the black gas, these people were a little blurry and couldn't see clearly, but Shen Yi finally found something.
"It's an adventurer!" he whispered.
"Adventurer?" Lao Meng was also taken aback. He followed Shen Yi's fingers, carefully identified them for a long time, and finally saw the clue with his dry eyes: "It's Brammer them." ”
Shen Yi asked, "Do you know their situation?"
"A team in the North District, because it is not a district, is a little bit of a problem. How could they get mixed up with Burks?"
Shen Yi said: "Maybe there is something to be carried out." Judging by the way they are assembling now, they should be leaving, and they may be leaving immediately. ”
"That's for the best. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lao Meng's body suddenly trembled: "Oh no, there is also a captain coming from behind, we are surrounded!"
"Damn, I knew this was a game!" Chu Sheng Honglang shouted at the same time, and several rough men from the Wild Bull Team even took out their weapons and aimed them at Lao Meng, so anxious that Lao Meng shouted: "It has nothing to do with me!"
Shen Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Stop it all, do you really want to lure all the undead over?"
"But they're already here!"
"Then you have to be steady!" Shen Yi said angrily, staring at the crystal ball.
"If we don't rush now, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to rush out. Jack Sandro of the Eternal Night also said urgently.
"I believe in Lao Meng, he will not harm us. Shen Yi said calmly.
Hearing this, Lao Meng glanced at Shen Yi gratefully.
The undead knights in front are still gathering one after another, but the undead team behind them is getting closer and closer. Everyone began to get nervous, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent and solemn.
"Steady, steady!" Shen Yi kept saying, not allowing anyone to make a move, and nervous sweat flowed from everyone's foreheads.
Just as the undead team in the rear was getting closer and closer to them, almost close at hand, Berks on the crystal ball suddenly raised his spear, and all the dark knights rushed out of the base at the same time.
"They're leaving!" Meng shouted in surprise.
"Let's go!" Shen Yi immediately shouted.
Everyone rushed out together.
