Chapter 229: A Spark Can Fire a Prairie Fire
"Now for an urgent message: the full-server mission 'Destroy the Arcane Tower' in the game "The Fool" is underway, and the main tower-breaking team organized by the state has now entered the city. Players who are currently within the Imperial Capital, or near the Imperial Capital, are requested to launch the game immediately, and on the premise of protecting themselves, launch an attack in the direction of the Wizard Tower, and try to create opportunities for the main force. Warning: Don't harass civilians! Don't attack ordinary wizards! Do not create unnecessary enemies for us......"
Conspicuous and bright news banners were constantly broadcast on major television stations, and major online platforms and channels such as reality broadcasting also began to spread the news in unison, and the power of the state apparatus was fully utilized at this moment.
Under this powerful propaganda, the key words of 'national mobilization' instantly spread to the whole country, and even burned to the Internet, causing a huge sensation around the world.
At this moment, people who didn't sleep immediately took out their mobile phones and logged in to the game, and those who fell asleep were already called up by relatives and friends, and then they were bombarded by various news in the circle of friends, as if they had missed some major event of the century, and they were busy launching the game.
And at this moment, in the Fool's Forum, all kinds of posts are bursting at a rate of tens of thousands of messages per second.
But no matter how fast it is refreshed, there is a highlight hot post, which is constantly manually topped, and always remains at the top of the forum, which is the mobilization post released by the official in the forum at the same time.
“??? It's finally getting started! ”
"Brothers, put the post up so that more people can see it!"
"Has it really started? Why didn't you say it earlier, so suddenly, I'm not ready to ......"
"Nonsense, you must not say it earlier, you should have said that you were ready, and the wizards on the other side should also be ready."
"It's too far away from the imperial capital, so I can only be responsible for waving the flag and shouting! Go bigwigs! Come on, friends over there in the imperial capital! ”
"Players who are not in the imperial capital can also help, there are wizard towers in every city in the Star Spirit Realm, everyone hurry to the nearest city to attack their wizard towers!"
"That's right, you don't have to help on the frontal battlefield, attack the wizard towers in various places, and make them overwhelmed, as long as they cut off the channel for them to transmit assistance to each other, it can be regarded as a favor for the imperial capital!"
"What if you can't beat the knights of the guards at the city gate?"
"Let's go up together, can the Guards Knights stop one or two, and can they stop all of us?"
"Although I'm not in the imperial capital, and there is no city nearby, I also go online to go around the intersection of the village, and it is also ......profitable to attract the attention of an imperial guard knight."
……
The wisdom of the masses of the people is unlimited, and in the midst of heated discussions, more and more ideas are being put forward.
In this battle, in fact, even the forecasting experts of the state department did not expect players in other regions to be able to help, so in the mobilization notice, only players near the imperial capital were mentioned.
But at this moment, players scattered all over the country still chose to respond to the call, logging in to the game one after another, and trying to do some inconspicuous little things that they can do at hand.
This kind of scattered harassment does not help much on the frontal battlefield thousands of miles away, but it has one of the greatest significance, which is to make the Lanel Empire on the opposite side of the game chaotic!
No matter how inconspicuous the spark is, once multiplied by 100 million units, it can easily develop into a prairie fire.
As one of the replies to the post put it: cut off the support channels between the various cities, and make the imperial capital an isolated city.
At this time, the most lively city in the country is definitely City E.
City E, located in the middle, can only be regarded as a third-tier small city in the country, with a mediocre economy and population, but a small part of this place in the corresponding position of the Star Spirit Realm is directly bordered by the imperial capital, and the rest of the area is also close to the wilderness outside the imperial capital.
During the previous public beta, the residents of this city were the saddest, because the landing position was next to the enemy's base camp, and basically the line was about to be chased and killed, and the difficulty of survival was several times or even more than ten times higher than that of other places.
Until this moment, E City finally turned over as a salted fish, and at this moment of national mobilization, it instantly became the brightest city in the country.
At this moment, there is also a heated discussion going on on the local forum in City E.
"Mom, are we players who were born in enemy dens finally going to become heroes?"
"Let's take action, family, don't let other cities see the jokes!"
"Chong Chong, I've been bullied for so long, it's time to fight back, I've seen these imperial knights unhappy for a long time......"
"Urgent notice, the city gate in the south of the city is the weakest defense, and now there are military troops organizing a manpower charge, everyone follow quickly!"
"Whether it can be done or not, just look at a wave......"
"If you fail to break the tower tonight, we won't want to play the game in the future, so let's pay if you have the ability, now is the most critical moment!"
"They all rushed into the city, making him turn the world upside down, it's a big deal to die a few times, lose three or four years of life, I'm afraid of an egg!"
"That's right, you may not be able to do the thing of throwing your head and spilling blood on the real battlefield, but you can still afford to live for a few years......"
"Although, calm down, everyone, focus on harassment, don't send you to death meaninglessly......"
"Good news! The gates south of the city have been occupied by our people! All go south of the city into the city, and follow the main force of the army to move together! ”
"Attention, attention! Don't attack civilians, don't provoke ordinary wizards, and identify the people of the Wizards' Guild and the Imperial Guard to fight ......"
……
The effect of the national mobilization has been much better than expected.
In the peaceful environment for many years, the long-hidden sense of national honor and cohesion has been fully mobilized at this moment.
For the Lanel Empire, this was originally a quiet night, because of the sudden influx of hundreds of millions of fools, the whole of the empire instantly became chaotic.
And the imperial capital, which had the most fierce conflict, was beaten by countless players who had been beaten with chicken blood in the blink of an eye, and a large number of players poured into the city like underworld forces, instantly turning the city into a chaotic scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
War alarms sounded over the entire imperial capital, and the residents and shops of the imperial capital were all urgently closed and retreated to their respective homes.
Fortunately, it is emphasized very clearly in the mobilization news, do not attack civilians, and do not take the opportunity to smash and burn, most players also consciously abide by this order, so as not to cause public anger among the residents of the other world, their enemies are always only the Wizarding Association and the Guard, and it is stupid to go around making enemies at this time.
A large number of Guards Knights in the barracks have also dispersed throughout the city as soon as possible and began to hunt down players who are scurrying all over the ground.
Ordinary players naturally can't beat these high-level knights, but players also have a very bad trick, that is, to escape offline, after all, it is not their real person in the other world, but just a doppelganger, even if they are caught up, they will be killed at most once, feel one-tenth of the pain, and lose a year of life, but they can waste a lot of time of these knights in the process.
No matter how many troops there are in the imperial capital, it is not an order of magnitude compared to the residents of the entire E city, and the current situation is that there are many ants biting elephants, and as more and more residents pour into the imperial capital, only close to the guards will soon be unable to defend, and they will be slipped all over the city, so they have to shrink their defenses and constantly abandon their peripheral positions.
The player's footsteps also continued to advance, and soon approached the vicinity of the Wizard's Tower.
And this rapid progress has also stunned many foreign forces.
No one expected in advance that a national mobilization of the Celestial Empire would have such a good effect!
At the same time, the high-level leaders of various countries also immediately felt that this was a good opportunity: taking advantage of the Celestial Empire's side to attract a large amount of combat power of the Wizarding Association, now the strength of the Wizarding Associations in other regions must be empty, and now is the best time for them to act!
For a while, various countries began to secretly issue various orders, preparing to imitate the mobilization tactics of the Celestial Empire, and simultaneously carry out their own full-server missions.
Naturally, there will be no opinion on this side of the Celestial Empire, and now the players in the world are already in the same spirit, and the simultaneous attack of other regions can also share the pressure they are facing.
In fact, long before the Celestial Empire's side of the operation, it had already organized a meeting with several large foreign players, so the other countries were not completely unprepared tonight, but everyone was cautiously watching. It was only now, after confirming that the Celestial Empire had taken the lead and that the action had achieved excellent results, that they had put into practical action.
At the same time, within the imperial capital.
"It seems that the national mobilization has been launched......
Mu You and Lin Xue rode landing birds and shuttled through the city. Looking at the chaotic scenes of countless players and guards chasing and fighting around him, he knew that it must be the state that had made a move.
After returning to the top of the mountain outside the barracks through the snowfield teleportation array just now, Mu You immediately erased the teleportation array on the ground, left the mountain forest, and rushed to the direction of the wizard tower on a chocobo.
Originally, he needed to be careful and low-key in his actions, but at the moment, this chaotic city provided him with considerable convenience.
Chocobo roamed the crowd, deftly passing through the colorful magic cannons and stray bullets, and all the knights of the Guards they met along the way ignored them. Sure enough, in the ocean of the people, no matter how powerful the masters are, they are only a very small part, and no one pays special attention to them at this time.
Mu You easily walked through the downtown area, stopped in the south of the city near the wizard tower, turned his head and rushed into a mountain forest near the wizard tower, found an open and unmanned place to stop at the height of the mountainside, and then took out the two ice coffins.
"To get started?" Lin Xue asked.
"That's it, let's get started." Mu You turned his head and glanced around, this should be the area with the lowest density of people in the vicinity, the people on both sides of the city below are fighting hotly, and no one should approach here in a short time.
Lin Xue nodded, and the two stepped forward to open the lid of the ice coffin, revealing the two bodies stored in it.
Lin Xue's wand rotated in her hand for a week, and after two turns, the wand had changed back to the shape of the Death Scythe.
Immediately, Lin Xue swung the sickle and swept past Mu You's body, bringing out an illusory soul, and under the guidance of the sickle, poured into Vivien's body.
With a twist of the knife, it slashed over herself, and the same soul was thrown into another ice coffin.
In the next second, the bodies in the two ice coffins opened their eyes at the same time and slowly stood up.
Mu You moved his fingers and looked at his body not far ahead through Vivien's perspective.
At this moment, his perspective has been divided into two parts, one part is still in his body, but only about a tenth of his soul remains, and the rest is all in Vivien's body.
Lin Xue next to her was the same, manipulating her grandmother's old body to get up.
Since the energy has not been transmitted through the Death Covenant Circle at this moment, the two corpses are still simply resurrected, and the body energy is still at a very low level.
Immediately, Mu You immediately manipulated his body to lay a death contract on the ground, stood on the magic circle with Lin Xue, and transmitted energy to the two corpses in front of him.
At this time, the crystals in Mu You's body were not only his own, but also the crystallization energy from the other nine mystical masters.
Under the abundant natural energy, the appearance of the two corpses suddenly began to change.
Grandma Lin Xue's old face regained her youthfulness, wrinkles disappeared, her skin became white, her body was straight, and Vivian's originally skinny figure quickly regained her fullness, and her complexion and body shape quickly returned to the appearance of ordinary people.
At the same time, from Mu You's perspective, the level of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue's feedback from the omniscient crystal is also rapidly improving, starting from level 15 and climbing all the way to level 20, and it continues to rise.
It wasn't until half a minute later that the energy in the two of them stabilized.
In the end, the level of the two was fixed at level 25 and level 23!
Level 25......
Although Mu You had already been mentally prepared, with the full support of the twelve mystical masters, the level of the two corpses would definitely be much higher than the level 16 of Grandma Lin Xue's resurrection last time.
But I didn't expect that I actually rushed directly to level 25, which is only one step away from the legendary level!
And he knew it wasn't the end! Because at this moment, of the twelve mysticists, only eleven have actually invested in support, and there is still the largest energy, the golden bull, that is, the woman who claims to be the lord of the abyss, and the support has not yet arrived.
The last time Taurus contracted the energy transmission was twenty-four or five minutes ago, when Mu You happened to return to Earth, so he didn't receive it, and according to the agreement with her at the meeting at that time, the next transmission would be a few minutes later.
At that time, the level of the two of them can be increased by a wave, and there may be a chance to break through level 25 at the same time, and both of them will enter the legendary level!
Mu You moved his fingers, felt the energy and powerful attributes in his body, and manipulated a body that was close to the legendary level, giving him a feeling of being close to invincibility.
Looking at the familiar appearance of the two young witches in front of him, the crow on Mu You's shoulder sighed and flew to Vivian's shoulder: "Let's act." ”
Mu You nodded, and exchanged some of the equipment he had pre-ordered, mainly the Phantom Scepter and the Battle Axe.
And Lin Xue, on her side, also handed over the Death Scythe and Scarlet Cloak to her grandmother.
Then the two of them watched the figures of the two witches who had once made the Wizarding Guild tremble, ran into the mountains and forests, and disappeared.
……
At the same time, it is located in a cemetery garden in the southwest of the imperial capital.
The airborne troops led by Jiuyou shuttled between the lanes, avoiding pedestrians as much as possible along the way to avoid the failure of the fog of war.
The players running all over the ground also facilitated their transfer, and in less than a quarter of an hour, everyone had successfully moved to the vicinity of the wizard tower.
However, as he approached the Wizard's Tower, a huge dragon roar suddenly sounded overhead, accompanied by a dark green acid dragon flame, which covered the sky and rained from above.
"Spread out!"
Jiuyou hurriedly shouted, and everyone jumped to the sides separately.
In the next second, the dragon's breath exploded on the cemetery, surging green flames, and everywhere it passed, the tombstones were all softened into pus by the temperature and acidic corrosion of the dragon flame.
Although everyone dodged this blow, the fog of war on everyone's body was also broken because of this sneak attack.
The figures of ninety-eight people were completely exposed on the streets of the imperial capital at this moment.
But everyone didn't have time to pay attention to this, but they all looked up at the huge monster in the sky.
It was a two-headed wyvern, with two lion-like heads under its huge purple and cyan wings, with demon-like horns on the top of its head, and a slender snake tail behind it, with a wingspan of thirty or forty meters.
"It's the Chimera!"
Someone immediately recognized the monster's name.
Chimera, a kind of wurm born from the cross between a blue dragon and a lion-like monster, a lion-headed sheep with a snake tail, although not as precious as a real dragon, is also a rather rare wurm species. Each of the two skulls of the Chimera can spit out different dragon breaths, one is ordinary magic dragon breath, and the other is acid dragon breath that can quickly decay buildings.
This Chimera is a magical beast that has just reached level 20, and it is actually not much of a threat to everyone.
The real threat came from the two figures standing on the back of the Chimera.
"Roar!"
With a dragon's roar, the Chimera slowly landed, its wings flapping, setting off waves of air around it.
Everyone hurriedly retreated, and the team quickly gathered in one place, and everyone's eyes were always focused on the two figures behind the Chimera.
One of the two is a black-robed man wearing a mysterious robe, level 20, obviously from the Ten Commandments.
The other is a wizard elder wearing a white wizard robe and a long white beard, with a ...... rank Level 28!
Legendary Tier!
Quite a few people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The most feared thing still appeared, and before they could reach the wizard tower, they were intercepted by a legendary-level master first.
Jiuyou stared at the white-haired old man with a solemn face.
With ample extra lifespan, the rate of aging of the human appearance will be greatly slowed down, but it will not stop completely, unless there is a special rejuvenation method.
And being able to make a wizard with an inexhaustible lifespan look like he is aging like an older and older person in front of him, which means that this old wizard has survived for at least a thousand years!
An old antique that has lived for more than a thousand years is almost as old as the history of the Wizarding Association, coupled with his terrifying rank and this white robe, this person's identity is about to be revealed: one of the ten elders of the Wizarding Association, and one of the original founders of the Wizarding Association, Herman the White.
According to the information they learned, the Wizards Association was founded by six young wizards nine hundred and eighty years ago, and these six people named themselves respectively: the white-clothed one, the gray-clothed one, the black-clothed one, the red-clothed one, the yellow-clothed one, and the blue-clothed one.
Later, with the development of the Wizards Association, the 'green, purple, orange and green' four clothes were added one after another.
Ten of them, as 'elders', together serve as the supreme leaders of the Wizarding Association.
The ten elders are all Legendary, and in order to maintain their authority, the Wizards Association directly blocked the recipe of the Evolution Potion, and also blocked the way to advance to the Legendary Rank.
Therefore, even in the Wizarding Association, there are only ten legendary levels, and the others can only be stuck at the bottleneck of level 25 at the most.
Only when one of the ten of them dies in an accident and the position becomes vacant, will an heir who is qualified in heart and loyalty be selected from among the juniors, and he will be allowed to advance to the legend and inherit the position of the Elder of Death.
And if a force outside the Wizarding Association appears to be a Legendary Rank, it will be hunted down by ten people and the Wizards Association until the other party is killed at the Legendary Level.
