Chapter 6: Rental House Dreams (Part II)

This is? Overlord Disc! Masei looked in shock at the approaching insect swarm in the distance. One of the elite troops of the Alien Race, the Overlord Disk. Its attack method is to flapp its wings and emit dust with psychedelic substances to make the opponent insane, and it is a biochemical psychic attack creature. These guys have a strong regenerative ability and are very difficult to kill unless they can destroy the core above their heads. And they are flying high in the sky, and it is difficult to attack the orange core block directly above their heads. This is a very tricky enemy for Shinkomi, who does not have air forces.

Hurry up and get all the catapults in place, the only weapon that can deal effective damage to the Overlord Disk. Originally, if the Alien Zerg came to the ground troops, Makoto could still use Force 3 to fight with the Alien Zerg a few more times. But for the arrival of the Overlord Disc, Zhencheng can be said to be helpless. The traps and defenses on the ground are all scrap for the Overlord Disc in the air, and when the Overlord Disc flies above them, Unit 3 is not far from being wiped out. Sure enough, the master made a move, and the move was deadly. Maseung was forced to get nervous again.

The well-reloaded catapult once again threw the flaming fireball into the distance. Seeing this, the Overlord Disc group began to increase their flight altitude, and several fireballs slid down from their bodies, and the first round of throwing attacks all missed. Zhen Cheng frowned and looked at the dozens of overlord discs that were gradually approaching. The cost of the Overlord Disc is very expensive, and it is generally 3~5 mixed with other troops to attack. And this time, the opponent actually created at least 20 in such a short period of time, and this attack only sent the Overlord Disc troops. This is a clear-thinking and decisive act, as it doesn't make much sense to send the rest of the troops, as the traps and defenses around the oasis can hold out most of the Zerg's ground forces.

Is it just watching Force 3 being destroyed by the Overlord Disc? So, Shinsho left 15 swordsmen and 10 archers to continue to use catapults to throw attacks. The remaining forces were reorganized into force 4 and slowly withdrew from the area in the rear. 36 is the best strategy, Masei left this oasis that was about to fall without looking back, and the next task of troop 4 was to join troop 1, and then enter the pyramid together. When he settled Unit 4 and shook the mouse to turn his vision to the oasis again, the 25 members of the palace left behind by Force 3 were already in a state of insanity under the attack of the Overlord Disc and were killing each other. Among the countless beautiful snowflakes of dust that the Overlord Disc flapped its wings, the soldiers fell one by one, and then they were covered in dust, and Makoto also lost his vision of this oasis.

At present, Makoto has no chance to find an oasis to redevelop. He could only pin all his hopes on the north of the map, the pyramid group that had not yet been touched by the Zergs. Shinsei first ordered Force 4 to set off in a northeasterly direction, and then dragged the camera to look in the direction of Unit 1.

The 30 fighters of Unit 1 have been waiting at the foot of the pyramid for a long time. Masei opened the conscription interface and summoned 5 thieves (5 crystals per thief) and 2 clerics (10 crystals per cleric) with 45 crystals. In places like the Labyrinth of Ruins, which are dangerous and accompanied by cursed traps, thieves are agile and observant enough to warn of some traps in advance, while clerics are masters at removing witchcraft curses. Both class summons are expensive to cost, but they're worth it.

When the troops were ready, Masei commanded the main control unit to lead the 37 soldiers towards the interior of the pyramid. First 10 swordsmen and 5 thieves are at the front, followed by 5 spearmen and the main control unit, followed by 15 archers and 2 clerics.

As he progressed deeper, he felt that the labyrinth of ruins was not as sinister as the labyrinths he had seen before. Shinjo rarely explores the labyrinth of ruins, as he is rarely cornered. In the maze that is occasionally explored, there is usually a curse or trap at the beginning, and then there is a maze that almost feels like it is impossible to walk. And he felt that this pyramid maze this time did not follow the routine of other mazes. After walking for a while, a golden corridor with an ascending slope appeared in front of the large army. The corridor sparkles from a distance and is very dazzling and alluring, but Shinsho knows that the more dazzling and beautiful things are in the labyrinth, the more dangerous they are. To be on the safe side, Shinsei sends a thief to find the way. As he got closer, he noticed that there were several expensive treasures displayed around the corridor, and the dazzling golden light was emitted by these treasures. If there were a map with merchants at this time, these treasures could be sold to buy a fairly powerful mercenary force. But it's a pity that this is a desert map, and these treasures are equivalent to waste for Makoto. Majo manipulated the thieves to walk further and wider, discovering that the corridor was just a temple for displaying items, and that there were no hidden trigger traps or trigger curses. But to be on the safe side, Shinjo first asked the cleric to impose a layer of 'protection' on everyone (one of the cleric's skills, which can resist low-level curses). Then the army also stepped into this golden corridor.

The troops walked in the middle of the corridor in unison, and Masamu observed the surroundings from time to time, and on both sides of the corridor were dazzling various ancient Egyptian ornaments, and the production was very fine. Zhencheng was not only amazed, but he didn't expect the game's makers to be so attentive, and even these small details were portrayed perfectly. At the same time, his vision began to focus on the murals on the walls of the corridor. The murals on the promenade are continuous, like a comic book, and Masumi walked and looked at it, and got a general idea of the stories painted on the walls. This is the story of an Egyptian power struggle, an Egyptian king who was once the overlord of the land, and he trimmed countless statues for himself in order to show his rights, but just when he thought he would be able to hold the throne for a long time, one of his sorcerers secretly colluded with his concubine to plot a rebellion. Unbeknownst to him, he drank the poisoned wine that his concubine had poisoned at his 50th birthday party, and he bled to death. In an instant, the land became leaderless, and a civil war broke out. His eldest daughter, 19 years old, learned the true cause of her father's death during the war, and in order to avenge her father's death, she sold her soul to the ancient gods of Egypt in exchange for a staff of power that could summon the Anubi army. She reunited the land with the help of the power of the scepter. After her death, she brought the scepter into the pyramid where she was buried.

In this way, in appreciation, Unit 1 gradually crossed this priceless golden corridor. As the light at the end of the corridor drew nearer, they stepped out of the corridor to the second level of the pyramid. This floor is visually wider than the first, with no roads or corridors, only an empty hall with four stout stone pillars in the middle. The perimeter of these pillars is inlaid with spiral staircases that spiral upwards leading to the top. It seems that this is a multiple-choice question, and Makomi thought about it for a moment. He ordered his troops to stand by at the base of the pillars, and then sent four thieves to each of them to climb the four giant stone pillars. Just as Maseung was still thinking about how to break through the labyrinth and take down the legendary treasure of the pyramid that he had heard about for a long time, an attack report appeared prominently on the map.

This is the 4 troops heading to the rush! Masei quickly switched his field of vision and entered the position where Unit 4 was. I saw flying sand and rocks all over the sky, and the sky was covered by yellow sand. Unit 4 encountered a common disaster in the desert, sandstorms.

Unit 4 marched hard in the sandstorm, and gradually lost its marching direction, deviated from the original planned marching track, and began to wander in the desert in an S shape. Soon, the soldiers in the sandstorm were stacked with all kinds of negative states and became exhausted. At this moment, a scream suddenly rang out from the ranks. I saw a giant earthy brown scorpion burst out of the sand and attacked one of the swordsmen in the team with a poisonous needle in its back. Under the influence of the toxin, the soldier's face gradually turned purple and he lost consciousness. Sand Scorpion!! Makomi looked at the giant scorpion that had attacked his own troops, this was an alien unit that specialized in fighting in the sand, and was called the strongest assassin in the desert. The near-desert colors and sharp attacks, as well as the ability to escape underground at any time, make them tricky. It's hard enough to encounter these guys in a normal state, let alone in a sandstorm.

Makomi felt some pressure. The opponent is really strong, the shot is sharp, the attack is decisive and fast, and he has been pressed and beaten from the beginning. Although he also used a slight trick to disrupt the opponent's attack on the way, the opponent quickly came up with a countermeasure. Masei put down the mouse in his hand and leaned back on the seat with a depressed expression. I closed my eyes and recuperated. From playing this game until now, it is the first time that Makomi has encountered such a strong opponent. And for the first time, I had the idea that I might lose.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and more raindrops were hitting the glass of the rental window. Lightning bolts were reflected on the computer screen along with thunder. Suddenly, Maseung opened his eyes, his eyes began to become calm and unflustered, and his dry lips rose slightly to reveal a smile. Maybe I'll lose this game, but not now!!

Shinjo is back in the game again, and now Unit 4 is very loose in the sandstorm by the sand scorpions, and many soldiers are isolated and killed alone. Zhencheng quickly gathered the remaining troops to re-array, and tried to get closer to the friendly forces within the field of vision. Soon troop 4 became a dozen or so small groups of about 5 people and continued to assemble. After the troops were united, the success rate of the Sand Scorpion's attack decreased a lot. A number of sand scorpions once again burst out of the ground to attack the remaining soldiers of Force 4, but this time it was not the wails of humans that awaited them, but the warriors who had regrouped and fought bloodily.

The swordsmen were responsible for the defense, the spearmen and archers were responsible for the attack, and the soldiers' momentum continued to rise. However, after a while, someone had already successfully killed the sand scorpion. This increased the confidence of the fighters to fight back. As time passed, more sand scorpions died one by one under the warriors' weapons. Sand scorpions are good at sneak attacks, and although they have a high attack, their armor is fragile and unsuitable for frontal steel. Faced with this situation, the opponent gradually gave up his intention to continue attacking them, and the sand scorpion retreated into the sand.

When the sand scorpion retreated, all that was left was the roaring wind, the yellow sand, and the tired soldiers. The remaining soldiers of Troop 4 under the control of Masei gathered together with the last of their strength, using solid shields to build a temporary shelter to resist the sandstorm. After a long wait, the roar of the wind gradually subsided, and the flying sand and rocks in the sky lost their strength and scattered. Then the vision began to brighten, and the sandstorm ended. Unit 4 stubbornly defeated the strong enemy and saw the light of day again. But just when Zhen Chenggang wanted to taste this hard-won victory, the joy he felt in the last second had already solidified on his face. He was shocked by the scene before him. Around Unit 4, as the sand gradually landed, the vision gradually became clearer, but there was not much yellow sand in sight. Because on the sand around them, countless alien insects of different styles and colors were overwhelmingly covered on it, extending to places that could not be seen in the field of vision.

How many Aliens are there! Thousands? Tens of thousands? Makoto was completely shocked. What kind of opponent can create such a large army on a desert map?! This number is no longer accurate to measure, at least more than 20,000! And half of them are elite troops! Troop 4 was wrapped in the innermost part by these guys, like ants stuck in a black quagmire, so lonely and small. Zhencheng sighed, he knew that Force 4 was already a dead chess.

The trumpet of the command sounded again, and the tired soldiers rose from the mound of sand, with spearmen in front, swordsmen on the sides, and archers in the middle. Under the command of Makoto, they let out a final battle cry. In response to their roar, the Alien Zerg army poured out like a flood and tsunami, instantly submerging Force 4 in it. Maseung also lost his vision here at this moment.

At this moment, the troops in the pyramid became the only hope for Zhencheng. In fact, from the very beginning, this was also within the estimation of the true inheritance. Makomi switches his vision back to Unit 1. All four thieves have already climbed the stone pillar and successfully reached the top. Kindness? Isn't there a trap after climbing two floors in a row? Shinsei couldn't believe it.

It seems that God still left him with the possibility of turning the tables. So Masamu decisively ordered Troop 1 to start climbing the stone pillar. The troops who climbed the pillars also divided into four teams and began to climb the four pillars separately. He had to hurry up, because at this moment, the power of the Alien Zerg was also spreading to this side. In the face of such a huge Alien army, if you want to fight against it, you can only use the treasure 'Pharaoh's Scepter' in the pyramid to summon the Anubi army to have the power to fight.

At this moment, these seemingly thick and sturdy stone pillars made a cracking sound, and at the same time, two of the four stone pillars shattered like fragile thin ice. The collapse of the pillar was accompanied by countless pieces of rubble that buried the soldiers who were climbing on it. Zhencheng frowned, it seems that there are still traps. The trigger condition is when multiple people climb the pillar. Thankfully, the main control unit wasn't on the collapsed pillar, otherwise the game would have been over. Maseung rejoiced, and then led the rest of the men to continue climbing the stone pillar.

However, just as they were about to reach the top, a dull cracking sound came from the remaining stone pillars again. What!! Come back!! Zhencheng ordered the troops to speed up the climb. In particular, on the stone pillar where the main control unit is located, he has the main control unit walk at the front of the team and quickly climb the stone pillar. Eventually, the remaining two pillars were overwhelmed, like shattered ice, and several cracks swirled and cracked on the pillars, and then the two pillars disintegrated. The soldier who was still on the stone pillar also fell to the ground along with the falling stone. Looking at the corpses on the ground on the second floor, Zhencheng gasped, and finally the main control unit climbed up. However, this climb also caused Masumi to suffer heavy losses, and the remaining troops were two swordsmen, a spearman, three thieves, and a priest.

Maseung looked at the empty hall on the second floor, and the four stone pillars that connected the second and third floors had collapsed. He has no way back but to move forward. However, the collapse of the stone pillar was also a good thing for Shinjo, as it also prevented the Zerg army from entering the third level of the pyramid where he was. Zhencheng didn't have time to take care of it anymore, and continued to march towards the interior of the third layer with the rest of the troops.

This level is already the top of this pyramid, unlike ordinary pyramids, the top floor of this pyramid is not sealed, there are several hinged top windows that shine inside, and the light is refracted through the hinges and condenses to the front. Masei looked at the focus of the light, and in the center of the light converged was a throne in a body of water. Above are glittering golden seats, luxurious carpets, sparkling clear waters, and the upper echelons in between. Just by looking at it like this, you can imagine how much the person sitting on it can look at no one and despise all beings!

At this moment, the item that made him look forward to appeared in Makoto's field of vision. "Pharaoh's Scepter!" Makoto couldn't help but speak. A staff inlaid with purple crystal was inserted vertically in the center of the throne, and the light from the hinged window was converging on the dimly glowing amethyst.

Wait, the more this time is, the more you can't be in a hurry. Holding back the excitement in his heart, he sent a thief to inquire about the situation. Sure enough, danger was always with this noble throne, and the moment the thieves entered the water, the pharaoh's scepter emitted a burst of dark purple light, which shone into the water, instantly petrifying the thieves who entered the water.

Looking at the petrified thief who was still in the water, Makoto pursed his lips and began to think about countermeasures. To get the staff, you have to reach the throne, and to reach the throne, you have to cross the waters that surround the throne. But how do you cross this water?

Just as Zhencheng was pondering, a golden light flashed, and a beautiful Egyptian woman appeared on the high throne. She was dressed in close-fitting gold silk underwear, and her hands, feet, and neck were covered with expensive jewelry. She walked slowly down the steps of the throne with noble and graceful steps. "Do you want the scepter on the throne?" The Egyptian woman asked Shinsei, her voice magnetic and majestic. It gives people the feeling that they can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

When she finishes speaking, three options appear on Mako's computer screen, option one: want, option two: don't want, option three: ignore her. Maseung looked at the topic, thought for a moment, and made a choice. Obviously, this is a trap question, and the answer he chooses will affect the probability of his reward. Shinseung chose to ignore her. Masei then proceeded to send thieves to try to find a way.

Suddenly, the entire pyramid shook violently. Immediately afterward, countless piercing attack alarms sounded around the True Inheritance Map. It seems that his opponents have also discovered this. On the periphery of the pyramid, tens of thousands of Alien Zerg have surrounded it, and they take advantage of the Alien Zerg's ability to climb walls from the periphery of the pyramid. In just a few minutes, half the way has been climbed. And the Shinjo inside the Golden Tower also felt this, and he knew that his time was already running out.

However, Zhencheng didn't show any panic. He's already figured out a solution. He quickly opened the recruitment screen, and then found the last page, where there was a consumable item that he had been keeping that he had not been willing to use, and this item would bring him a special unit, the Shift Division, which would merge all characters together and transfer to any character. Buying this character will consume all the crystals in his hand, but this time the character will be worth the price. Zhencheng clicked the mouse and pressed the conscription, and then the transfer division appeared in Zhencheng's team.

The True Commander merged all the remaining soldiers in his team into the main control unit, and in an instant the main control unit became a super soldier with four classes, and then True Cheng opened the job transfer page and converted the main control unit into a Frost Warrior. An icy chill emanated from the main control unit, and then he turned a frosty blue color throughout. Masei manipulated the Frost Warrior to freeze the entire circular water into ice, and easily crossed the past. He walked past the haughty and beautiful Egyptian woman and walked straight towards the throne.

"You won't get the staff by doing this," the Egyptian woman's voice came from behind the Frost Warrior, but the Frost Warrior ignored her and continued on her way. "If you want to get the staff, you'll have to kill me first!" The Egyptian woman continued, with a hint of exertion in her voice. When she finishes speaking, a dialog box appears on Mako's computer screen, which asks the player to write down what they want to say to the NPC. I'm going, so smart? Maseung became a little interested in this hidden plot moment.

Maseung taps on the keyboard and starts talking. "Is killing you the only way to get the staff?" Shinjo asked, manipulating the Frost Warrior.

Hearing this, the Egyptian woman fell silent.

Seeing this reaction, Maseung smiled slightly. He then went on to write: "Since you don't speak, there are other ways. Then why do you want me to kill you?! ”

After asking this question, the Egyptian woman's expression revealed a trace of sadness. "For I have been asleep with this staff for so long that I have forgotten the time, the lover, and all that I can forget. I've had enough! ”

"Oh, I see, it seems that you are the Egyptian princess who avenged her father as depicted in the mural in the hall on the first floor. Just then, I want to ask you how to use this pharaoh's scepter. Maseung continued to communicate with her.

"Don't you understand, I just want to die, I won't tell you how to use the staff unless you promise to kill me" The Egyptian woman stood up proudly with her breasts, as if showing her determination.

"I'm sorry, but that reason wasn't enough for me to end your life." "I'm not one to kill innocents indiscriminately, unless there's a good reason or value for me to kill someone. ”

Hearing this, the Egyptian woman's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of expression appeared in her empty eyes. "Your words remind me of someone I've forgotten for a long time," she said. He said the same thing. ”

Zhen Cheng just wanted to reply, but his opponent no longer gave him extra leisure, and with a loud bang, a large hole was carved into the top of the pyramid by the Alien army. Several four-legged insects poured into the pyramid like a fountain. Shinsei manipulated the Frost Warrior to use the Rogue's skills, and countless throwing knives shot at the four-legged shell worm that had just crawled in, and these flying knives were all infused with ice magic, releasing cold power the moment they pierced into the four-legged shell worm's body, freezing them into ice sculptures.

"You don't have much time left, and even then, aren't you going to kill me?" The Egyptian woman still stood dignified on the steps, as if all the fighting had nothing to do with it.

"If it was at the last minute, I would. But not now! "Masei controls the Frost Warrior with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, bravely facing the four-legged shell worm that is rushing in his face. I have to say that the super soldiers after merging and transferring classes are very powerful, and they still do not fall behind in the face of a large number of alien races.

Just as the Frost Warrior's eyes were red, behind him, the Egyptian woman stood on her bare feet and flew into the air. "The man who wields the scepter, I hope he is a man of love and compassion. You have passed my test, warrior. I hope you don't follow in my footsteps when using your staff. With that, the Egyptian woman turned into a golden light and attached to the staff in the center of the throne. In an instant, a powerful force erupted from inside the staff. A ghostly purple light turned countless insects to ashes. The hall that had been crowded just now was now only the Frost Warrior Ren standing.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rest of the Alien Zerg had not yet broken into here, Zhencheng manipulated the Frost Warrior to ascend to that noble throne. The Frost Warrior held the staff in both hands, feeling the power of the staff. Then he swung his staff violently, and in an instant the heavens and the earth fissioned, and the sand and rocks flew outside the pyramid, and the wind roared. The sand within kilometers of the road jumped as if it had come to life. Immediately after that, these beating grains of sand floated and condensed together, forming countless soldiers with dog-headed human shapes.

This is the Anubi Army! Zhencheng looked at the number outside the pyramid in shock, and the army in a neat queue sighed. With a wave of the Frost Warrior's scepter, the Anubi army let out a roar and flocked to the Alien Clan. Not to be outdone, the Alien Zerg lined up in formation and prepared to fight. Two very large armies collided and gradually merged into a chaotic battlefield.

Although at the beginning of the Alien Zerg period, they were not inferior to the Anubi army in terms of number and combat power. However, in the face of the Anubi undead army, which has a bonus in the desert and will be resurrected immediately after death, soon, the Alien Zerg began to have a disadvantage and fell into disadvantage. A large number of alien insects were pierced with sharp blades by Anubi's warriors, and countless green blood slurries were sprinkled all over every corner of the battlefield.

After a long fight, the whole battle finally came to an end, and a blue mark of victory appeared on the computer screen of Zhencheng. Shinseung's opponent surrendered, and he won the entire match. He beat the guy with a 100% win rate!!

Masei sighed lightly and leaned back on the computer chair tiredly. He licked his parched lips and smiled contentedly.

Rumble!!! At this moment, a thunderclap accompanied by lightning suddenly struck the sky, and it was so frightened that Zhen Cheng was clever. I was so obsessed with playing the game just now that I forgot that it was raining outside the window. And the moment the thunder sounded, Zhencheng's computer also went black. He was just about to sit up from his chair to check on the computer when a violent dizziness struck. "How so?!" Maseung clutched his head in pain, he was familiar with the feeling of vertigo, which he experienced every time he went out. But now he's at home. Has it worsened? Zhencheng thought with a distorted expression, anyway, he has no relatives and no reason, and no one will care if he dies. And just now I returned a wish, and I can be regarded as dying without regrets. In the midst of pain, Masato comforted himself. He stared at the computer screen, now glancing at the old man who had been with him for a long time before he died. At this time, the computer that had been turned off started on its own, and then a text appeared on the computer screen.

'I admire you, I hope you can lead the Terrans to a better future' Looking at the dark green text displayed on the computer screen, Makomi closed his eyes and lost the last of his consciousness.

The next moment, Masei opened his eyes suddenly, white sheets, beige quilts, and the beast-eared girl lying beside him sleeping in a bewitching position. He scrambled out of bed and looked out the window at the medieval-style wooden houses and towers. There was a pain in his right hand, a constant reminder of the battle that had taken place yesterday. Masei sat back on the bed weakly. That's right, I'm still in another world.
