Walking side by side with Zhou Hao on the way to the Temple of Gods and Demons, Shen Yi asked, "Boss Zhou, can you tell me about the Ash Chariot?" ”

Although Cliff would give Shen Yi information after the Dane family officially sent people to hunt down Shen Yi, Shen Yi didn't mind learning about this ash chariot in advance.

Hearing Shen Yi say this, Zhou Hao chuckled: "The ash chariot may be regarded as the strongest team in the apartment area, but this is not the most terrifying thing for them, to be exact, it is not the ash chariot that is really terrifying, but this Dane family and the sect created by this family." ”

"The Sect of Purgatory?"

"Well, this is a sect of crazy people through and through, and there are all kinds of people in it, all kinds of areas and all kinds of difficulty. Zhou Hao replied: "In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of this sect that the power of the Dane family can reach the sky with hands and eyes, covering all areas of the five difficulties. That's where their horror lies...... If you offend this family, you will be unable to move an inch. ”

Shen Yi understood.

Just like if the Evil Emperor wants to kill Shen Yi now, he is either in the wilderness, but the wilderness is randomly teleported, and it is too difficult to find, or in the task world, then he has to wait, or he has to find someone to shoot, but the person he is looking for may not be reliable, and he has to give benefits.

The Dain family doesn't have this trouble, the sect represents the faith, the family represents the bloodline, both of which can exist across regions, so their strength is everywhere, and if there is a problem anywhere, the Daine family can immediately pull out a team of people to kill it violently.

Unlike mercenaries, this is a lineage!

If that's all there is, it's fine.

The crux of the matter is that lineage can be cultivated.

Someone once asked, why don't people in high-difficulty areas train some of their own people from low-difficulty areas?

The answer is: trust is not enough, investment is risky, not you give money, the other party can come back alive, not you give money, others are willing to work for you.

But the Cult of Purgatory, at least solves the problem of trust—fanatical religious beliefs, so that newcomers will not be easily betrayed, and thus have the value of being cultivated.

Therefore, the Purgatory Sect is rare and dares to invest in urban newcomers.

For a fourth-difficulty adventurer, twenty or thirty thousand gore points are nothing, but for a newcomer to the first-difficulty level, it is a huge amount of money. As long as they are willing to join the sect, accept brainwashing, and dedicate their loyalty, they can be favored by the sect.

In addition, low difficulty is limited by level, and it is not possible to skip the level to purchase advanced skills and items. The average high-level adventurer can also sell to low-level adventurers, but there is often a profit attached, which makes it unaffordable for low-level adventurers.

Denomination members, on the other hand, can enjoy direct discounts, not only will they not be marked, but some of the outstanding performers will even receive discounts.

That's why Christine has a powerful skill like Nine Dragons Blaster in difficulty 3 - of course, his gains have nothing to do with performance.

Of course, some of these people will die, and some of their investments will be wasted, but those who survive are often the elite.

And these sect elites will eventually have a group of people sucked into the Dane family and become family members.

This is how Cliff got into the Dane family, for example.

It's a pity that although he is talented, because there are still two roadblocks in front of him, the position of the third heir is almost destined to be his end. If he can't become the first in line before he enters the fifth difficulty, then it will be difficult to get another chance in the future. The Dane family would never choose an heir from five difficulties - no one would choose an old man who was about to retire.

It is precisely because of this that he turned to the outside and colluded with Shen Yixin.

Therefore, the Purgatory Sect can also be said to be an outward extension of the Dane family's power, and it is an important external environment for them to absorb family members.

However, the Purgatory Sect does not only belong to the Dane family, but there are also some other forces that "share" in it, but the Dane family, as the founder, is the core force among them.

In this respect, there is still a difference between the Dane family and the Purgatory Sect.

The Ash Chariot is such a team of adventurers armed with the full support of the Purgatory Sect, and it is also the enforcer team of the Purgatory Sect.

Every member of the Ash Chariot is a fanatical member of the Purgatory Sect, they are the sharpest knife of the sect in the city, and they will kill wherever the sect's hand is pointed.

Because of their religious beliefs, these guys believe that they can be redeemed after death and enter heaven, so they are not afraid of death, and some of them even learn the skill of self-detonation, ready to die with the enemy at any time. In the sect, there are a large number of fanatical believers waiting to be candidates for the ashes chariot, and for every death of a person, the sect will arrange for one person to enter, so that its overall number is always about ten, including seven full members and three reserve members. And the reserve members are the self-detonating trucks that are permanently charging ahead, and if necessary, they will explode immediately.

In addition, the Ember Chariot is a multi-regional team, with members of the Infernal Sect of Ashes Chariot in each difficulty area, and although the city system does not allow duplicate names, the solution to the problem is simple - just add a number or symbol to the end of the team name.

For example, add a 0 after fate.

Currently active in the three-difficulty area is the Alpha Team of the Ember Chariot, but they don't like to be called Alpha, and instead demand that others be named after the Ember Chariot.

If anyone disobeys, he will be an enemy.

This shows the domineering and ferocity of the ash chariot.

And as the most important external force of the sect, they have also received a lot of resources from the sect, and some of them have the bloodline of the demon god!

Interestingly, the first heir to the Dane family is the captain of the Ember Chariot Alpha team.

This can be understood why Cliff asked Shen Yi to be careful of the ash chariot.

Even if the sect doesn't plan to send the chariot of ashes, I'm afraid that Cliff will do his best to incite it.

"If you kill Christine, old Cato won't give up. Although the Dane family has some other teams besides the Ash Chariot, these teams are all average. If the Ash Chariot is the reserve of the future elite of the Dane family, then the other teams can only be considered the reserve of the Ember Chariot. The reputation of the Broken Blade team is not small now, and as long as the Dane family does not make a mistake in their brains, they will basically not send them to the main game, but at the same time as sending the ash chariot to hunt you down, it is very likely that one or two more auxiliary teams will come by the way. The way of the king is to outnumber the many, so this is destined to be an asymmetrical war. Zhou Hao reminded Shen Yi.

"Old Gato?" Shen Yizhi didn't care about Zhou Hao's warning, but asked about the name mentioned by Zhou Hao.

"Well, Christine's father, whose original name was Stien Cato, joined the Dane family after entering the city and changed his surname. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is called deception and extermination of ancestors, but these guys have no ancestors at all, as long as they can live, their relatives and mothers are sold, and changing their surnames is nothing. Zhou Hao's tone was full of disdain: "But although he changed his surname, everyone is still used to calling him Cato, and now he is the old Cato...... This guy is now a fifth-difficulty general, so he's about to complete the mock exam and become a City Guardian. You kill his son, and he will never let you go. And I'm ......"

Zhou Hao sighed: "I'm also about to enter the fifth difficulty, and I will probably fight side by side with Old Cato at that time." This old thing is now in a very high position, and if he knew that I could help you, he would never let me go. ”

What he meant was that he didn't dare to help Shen Yi come out.

Shen Yizhi didn't mind, but was even more curious by what Zhou Hao said: "City Guardian, it should be that after completing five difficult tasks, you should officially become a member of the city, right?"

Zhou Hao smiled: "You really already know the meaning of the existence of the city." ”

Shen Yi shrugged: "It's not unusual, the city itself may also release rumors intentionally or unintentionally, so that everyone can be mentally prepared." But it's very strange that I've arrived, since I came to the city, it seems that I haven't seen the generals of the fifth difficulty, these guys live on Independence Island, and they can walk the wilderness at will, and it's not like it's fun to kill an adventurer and get some rewards, why can't you see people?"

"Because I don't have the time and energy, of course. Zhou Hao sneered: "The five difficulties are different from the first four difficulties, it has only one task world." All of our promotions are actually carried out in this mission world, and the mission is always maintained, never the same. ”

Shen Yi's heart moved: "There is only one mission world?"

"That's right!" Zhou Hao replied, "It's the mission world of StarCraft!"

And sure enough, it was!

Shen Yi secretly squeezed his fists: "In other words, starting from the fifth difficulty, we are going to officially start a war with the Zerg, right?"

"Nope. Zhou Hao shook his head: "To be exact, it is a world that simulates a battlefield outside the city, and the Zerg inside is still made by the city, not the real Zerg, but all the strength of the opponent and the environment in which they are located are exactly the same as the outside world." ”

"In other words, after the generals enter that world, they will first simulate fighting with the Zerg, in order to leave the city in the future and prepare for real combat?"

"Yes, exactly. So at that time, the adventurers of the four regions will be together, and when the time comes, everyone will be under the same roof, in the same virtual universe, and start a war with the same kind of enemy. And some adventurers can rely on their own strength to obtain a very high status in that mission world. Cato Sr. is one of the bastards with a very high position in the camp, and if I get to the fifth difficulty, I will have to look at his face when the time comes. So I'm not afraid of the Evil Emperor, but I will never dare to provoke the Dane family...... Even if old Cato leaves the Five Difficulties one day, he can explain to the rest of the Dane family to deal with me, and their power will be passed down from generation to generation!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Hao gritted his teeth, looking quite helpless.

"So that's ......" Shen Yi nodded: "But it's okay, you can tell me this, I'm already grateful." But in that case, can Boss Zhou tell me more about the five difficulties?"

"No problem. Zhou Hao saw that Shen Yi could understand himself, and his heart was slightly relieved: "After the adventurer enters the mission world, he must start fighting against the Zerg. Since the time flow of the StarCraft world is exactly the same as that of the city, although everyone can freely enter and leave the mission world, it is very likely that if you return to the city for a day, and then return to the mission world, you will find that the base you have worked so hard to build has been destroyed by the Zerg, so no one dares to leave easily. These Zerg are not the Zerg in the game, in fact, they entered the urban world before us, strengthened by the Quarez people, in a sense, they are our predecessors. They have powerful bodies, their own biological warships, and a strong ability to reproduce. Since the existence of this quest world, no one has ever completed the task of exterminating the Zerg. ”

"Because if we can wipe out the virtual Zerg in the mission world, we can use the same method to destroy the real Zerg outside, right?"

"Yes!" Zhou Hao nodded with great appreciation: "The city has built a war world that completely simulates the Zerg in this space, and its purpose is to find ways to defeat the Zerg, develop various tactics, and find the enemy's weaknesses. Over the years, the city has been able to withstand the attacks of the Zerg again and again, and this simulated world has contributed a lot. It's a pity that they only block the attack, but no one can destroy them...... This is still the evil of the Quarez people themselves, when they studied the Zerg and tried to use the Zerg as their spiritual carrier, they gave the Zerg the ability to evolve infinitely with the environment and the enemy's attacks, so that even if these guys left the city, they could still evolve themselves. And now, they want to fight back, in order to regain this space that belongs to God's dreams come true! And we are fighting to the death with our predecessors!"

"I see. Shen Yi took a deep breath: "But I remember that there is a saying in the city, that is, as long as adventurers complete the five difficulty tasks, they can enter the Tower of Babel and realize one of their wishes......"

Zhou Hao laughed: "So now you understand, no one has ever been able to complete this task." There are only two ways to get out of the city. One is this impossible task, complete it, destroy the Zerg in the virtual world, enter the Tower of Babel, and face the master. The second is to fight a small battle, eliminate a certain number of Zerg, establish enough merits, prove that you have enough ability to fight against the Zerg, and then get out of the five difficulties, become the City Guardian, and officially become a member of the City to resist the invasion of the Zerg. ”

"So, the reason why the rumor is not true is not because it is a lie, but because it is too difficult to implement?"

"As I said, it's an impossible task. Do you know who the Lord of Hell is on the thirty-sixth level of Hell?"

Shen Yi said: "It won't be ......"

"Zerg brood!" Zhou Hao replied: "In this world, the zerg is the most terrifying life that has been killed from the bottom of hell, and their brood is the god of the demon god that is so powerful that you can't imagine it at all, a super terrifying existence that you can't fight against at all!"
