"Welcome!"

At the flight point, Hu Siming and the four of them were greeted by a middle-aged man with a resolute appearance and a solemn expression. He is an authentic half-breed, although his pupils are black, he has a high nose bridge of Europeans and Americans, and even his hair is dark blonde. Wearing a standard jewelry suit issued by the academy, the aura that is not deliberately restrained is long and powerful.

Hu Siming subconsciously probed and threw it over, and found that the other party's level was as high as elite LV15.

There is no doubt that this is a school staff who gave up the possibility of becoming heroes and was assigned by the academy to work in the new world.

After shaking hands with Hu Siming and them one by one, the man introduced himself while leading them down from the floating island where the flight point was located: "I joined the academy six years ago and have been working in New World for two years. This time, I was sent out by the academy and arranged here to be in charge of commanding the garrison of the Sandhammer camp, you can call me Adam. ”

Although the voice is a bit special, with the help of the academy, it is not difficult to understand.

Hu Siming and the others quickly figured out the identity of the person in front of them, he was the only person representing the academy official in the Sandhammer Camp, and would be responsible for coordinating and directing the Dire Dark Tide Defense Battle. When he climbed down the vines on the floating island, he had already included Hu Siming's team in the team's communication channel and set up Hu Siming's speaking privileges.

"Follow me first. ”

Adam greeted the four of them and strode to the center of the mallet camp.

It is said to be the center, but in fact, it is just a 100-square-meter house, which is also one of the few buildings in the sand mallet camp. Here, Hu Siming and the others saw a total of nineteen students divided into five teams. Counting Hu Siming and them, the total number has reached twenty-three.

Xu Guang and Yan Shaoou silently looked at these five distinct squads and found that most of them were above the elite level. There are only four or five ordinary level students, and they have at least an average LV8 grade. In general, such a force is very strong. It shouldn't be a big problem to hold a small camp that is only 100 paces wide and has fairly complete defenses.

"All four are elites?"

"Libra people!"

When Hu Siming's team members looked at them, most of these people also used probes. Knowing the strength of the four of them, someone immediately threw a friendly smile at this side, obviously thinking of cooperation and taking care of each other.

In this regard, Hu Siming also smiled and nodded one by one.

There is not much intrigue in this mission, it is to work together to guard the tide of beasts, so the students are more amiable.

"Please wait a moment, there is another group of students who will be here soon. ”

Adam, an elite LV15, spoke slowly, reassuring a few of the students who had arrived first, telling them to calm down before leaving again. About five or six minutes later, Adam arrived with the last of the five-man squad to garrison the Sandhammer camp. The room was already small, and after squeezing twenty-eight people, it was already full. Fortunately, the students knew that this was not the time to be picky, so they patiently stood aside and waited for Adam to speak.

"Everyone!"

Under the gaze of everyone present, he slapped his face and stood in the middle of the room: "From now until the morning after tomorrow, I will fight with you as the commander of the sand mallet camp. For anyone who does not obey the command, I have the right to report to the academy afterwards and give corresponding punishment. There is no doubt that the Academy's punishment is definitely harsher than imagined - and that failure to hold the camp will only harm each of you. ”

His expression and tone were extremely stern, and he first said ugly things in front, obviously to deter these students from all over the world.

No one jumped out as a thorn in the head at this time.

Although Adam used to be a cadet, he now works for the academy, and there is a kind of program that can represent the will of the school. With this layer of official status, no one will be uninteresting.

Seeing that everyone was quietly listening to him, Adam nodded, and his tone softened: "I've been in the New World for more than two years, and believe me, the Dire Tide is definitely more terrifying than you think. Even if this place is located in the hinterland of the academy, there can still be no carelessness and slackness, let alone luck. Otherwise, it will be a harm to the camp and to all of you. ”

At this point, he paused, as if to observe the students' reactions: "Then, give each of you a chance to ask questions." Time waits for no one, you only have five minutes. After asking, I will arrange the defense and specific tasks. If you have any more opinions at that time, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

Adam's voice fell, and there was a brief silence in the room, but soon someone asked questions.

This opening asked the question that the students were most concerned about.

"Why isn't there a teleportation array here?What should you do if the Nightmare Darktide is bigger than you think?Will there be any additional reinforcements from the Academy?"

This problem has been noticed by the cadets since they got off the goblin airship, and even in the towns of the upper level. It is a matter of their own safety and retreat, and no one dares not to care.

Adam had long expected to be asked this question, and when he heard this, he said, "With so many outposts in the academy, it is impossible to arrange teleportation arrays one by one, and the cost is too great. If it doesn't here, it proves that it doesn't have value worth investing in. In a sense, this is actually a good thing, meaning that the previous Dire Tide was not so violent, and it could be held without reinforcements. ”

Since the previous students can keep it, then of course this one can.

This statement is still quite convincing, and nearly thirty students calmed down at once, and no one would think that they were worse than their previous seniors.

Seeing this, Adam continued: "Of course, it is not without exceptions, such as when the beast tide suddenly becomes violent one year. But what I want to tell you is that the task has been arranged, and it is useless for you to regret it, so it is better to focus more on how to deal with it. If the beast tide is really beyond imagination, then everyone will fight to the death, and it is a big deal to risk ten years of life-the academy will give you some compensation afterwards according to the difficulty. ”

These words dispelled the worries of the students.

Except for a few students who had a small number of longevity and had worries on their faces, most of the others were relieved.

After a while, someone asked, "How should I divide the spoils of war in battle?"

When asked such questions, Adam did not open his mouth to answer them one by one, but directly used the command authority assigned by the academy to send three regional prompts in a row.

"During the Dire Tide, it is absolutely forbidden for students to attack each other (including any suspected framing). ”

"The true duration of the Dire Dark Tide is, customarily, the entire night of November 15, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning. During this period, all students must stay in the arranged guarded area, otherwise they will be severely punished. If there is still a monster attacking after the time has passed, it is allowed to give up according to the situation, and there will be no punishment at this time. ”

"During the 12-hour defensive battle, all loot will be handed over to the public space. After the Dire Darktide ends, you can exchange your Battlefield Contribution for Huàn, and the student with the highest contribution will get priority to redeem Huàn. Contributions' output, kills, healing, and other behaviors can be obtained. ”

The three regional tips perfectly solved the doubts of the students.

Hu Siming and Xu Guang had seen a similar system as early as the rookie confrontation, and they understood the situation at a glance.

Seeing that no one asked any more questions, Adam nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a virtual stereo projection. On top of this projection, the entire sandhammer camp, and even the nearby terrain, are all visible, and even some of the terrain details are vivid.

"Look, everyone, this is the overview of our sand mallet camp. ”

"Not far to the east is the Chime River, which is a natural barrier to ensure that no monsters will attack from this side. To the north is a deep sand plain, and there are some monsters, but they are relatively ordinary in terms of strength and size, and they are a secondary defensive direction. The main and most formidable defense areas were to the west and south of the camp. ”

With this introduction, Adam unfolded the projection map, revealing a wider area.

"To the west, corresponds to the Nest of Corruption. There are a large number of scavenging demonic beasts here, and their strength is between ordinary level LV8 and LV12 on average. To the south, corresponds to the ruins of the southern moon. There used to be remnants of the Arcane Empire's era, but it was explored by the Academy seven or eight years ago. However, the unique topography of the ruins of the South Moon still produces some monsters such as rock golems. Many of them have siege attacks, which are a great threat to the camp!"

With such a detailed map, coupled with Adam's explanation, Hu Siming and the others quickly understood the situation of the camp. The Corrupted Lair monsters on the west side have the largest number of monsters, and the South Moon Ruins on the south side have monsters that attack the city, so they must be focused on defense.

"Well, look at the defensive forces of the camp again. ”

Adam pulled the map back and enlarged the sandhammer camp: "Because there are no monsters in the east, there is no exit to the camp in the east, there are only two defense towers, so you can basically leave it alone." There is an exit to the north, west, and south, and in these three directions, there are a total of eighteen arrow towers, catapults, and frozen towers. In addition, on the stone walls of each camp, the Academy has deployed twenty Treant Warriors/Druid Mages spawned from True Red Crystals—you can use them as meat shields and cannon fodder if necessary. ”

There are eighteen arrow towers, which are divided equally into one wall, which is six.

In one direction, six defense towers, twenty Treant warriors (ordinary LV15), plus the strength of the cadets, should be as solid as a mountain no matter how you look at it. But the more this happened, the more frightened the students became, and the calmness and composure on their faces had long since disappeared.

The academy has always arranged tasks in order to squeeze every ounce of combat power of the students, since there are so many defensive forces, and Adam still has a bitter face, it can only prove that the offensive power of Dire Darktide is far beyond imagination!

"Finally, there's this, Floating Island!"

Adam pointed to the small island floating in the southwest corner of the camp, nearly thirty meters above the ground, which was originally the camp's lookout post and flying point, used to dock the goblin airship. But there is no doubt that it can also be used as a floating fortress in times of war.

Having a team of druid mages on it can undoubtedly make a huge difference.
