Chapter 395: Undead: The Strange Soldier from Heaven (Part 3)
In the past, players had to assign people to guard captured prisoners, but this time it won’t be so troublesome... Prisoners do not have to be handed over to a certain NPC before the reward can be settled. As long as they are thrown to a place where the enemy cannot rescue them and left for more than half an hour, the reward will be automatically settled, and whoever catches the prisoner will get the reward directly.
Although this will result in valuable captives being unable to be auctioned, players do not mind since the battlefield activity will be open for a long enough time and there are enough battlefield maps.
"What do those yellow-named NPCs do?"
Qin Guan, holding the "Book of the Dead", did not participate in the battle. He squatted quietly in the back and paddled. He saw several people dressed like refugee soldiers appearing at the back of the battlefield and asked the person next to him.
"It seems to be an NPC that has been refreshed near the teleportation point. I don't know if it's because I haven't opened the new map reputation, but I can't interact with it." The player who had already tried to flirt with the NPC on the way to the corpse said casually, "Vanilla, you keep counting the leg hairs. I'm going to rush again!"
The player casually said a few perfunctory words to get rid of the leader who couldn't be offended, and then bravely rushed out with the main group...
Qin Guan angrily cursed at the back of the man: "When you want to pull people, you are a vanilla boss, but when the skill of pulling people is on CD, you are just a vanilla, right!"
"Vanilla, come over to the four o'clock direction to discuss something." Miaobishenghua sent a private message.
"Coming, coming." Qin Guan stood up, patted the grass leaves on his butt, and staggered towards the direction where his friend was calling.
At the four o'clock direction determined by the enemy camp, more than a hundred elite players have gathered - all of them have potential values exceeding 300 and are equipped with gorgeous equipment.
A single blood alliance cannot mobilize so many luxurious characters. These more than a hundred skeletons are considered to be the most combat-capable ones among the 30,000 players.
When Qin Guan arrived, he saw his own blood alliance members, including Give Me Medicine, Yang Ying, Entropy Does Not Increase, Nine-Tailed Fox, String Beans, Don't Talk to Me, and Lahongge's blood alliance members, Huanling, Mingfeng Chunpu, Mulberry Leaves Fallen, Pull Out a Leg of Hair, Yanqiu, and the big boss among the casual players, Only Fighting Can Win. All of them were there, and he asked in surprise, "What's going on? Are you planning to do something big?"
"I do have this plan." Ming Feng said with a simple smile.
"Mingfeng just told us their idea. Qingyue and I both think it's feasible." Miaobishenghua said eagerly.
"What do you mean?" Qin Guan also became interested.
Brother Lahong, who had cursed Qin Guan in private, came out with a friendly look on his face and showed the artifact he had taken on the eastern battlefield of Odysseus Territory -
When Qin Guan saw Brother Lahong take out this thing, he exclaimed "Ah" and immediately guessed how they were going to play.
This looted artifact... seized from His Royal Highness Prince Lionel, is the most destructive item among the current players' means of attack:
"Guardian's Weapon: Blessing of the Storm Angel"
"A vessel blessed by a high-level archangel of the Church of Storms."
"When you are attacked fatally, the Storm Guard will be triggered. Several hurricanes will appear around you, destroying any moving targets taller than the tires of a carriage within a radius of 10.5 meters. The duration is three minutes."
"While Storm Ward is in effect, the hurricane will move with the wearer."
"While Storm Guardian lasts, the wearer is immune to all mental attacks."
"After triggering the Storm Guardian, the Guardian Device needs to be filled with magic cores with a diameter of more than 5mm for charging."
The self-propelled super windmill lasts for three minutes and indiscriminately attacks moving targets whose height is higher than that of elementary school students. It can be called a magic weapon for clearing the field.
Although it will only be triggered when the wearer encounters a fatal attack, and a magic core will be consumed for each use - these two usage restrictions are not a problem at all for players!
There is no forced offline penalty upon death, so players dare to commit suicide and return to the city. Encountering a fatal attack is nothing!
For moderate and hardcore players, they would just hang out in the wilds of Tarantan and kill monsters, and fight with monsters and beasts as part of their daily gaming routine. For players, magic cores with a diameter of more than 5 mm are just a more valuable material!
"Protect me and take me to the gate." Brother Lahong, who was holding the magic weapon, said confidently, "As long as I can avoid being killed instantly by the artillery and spearmen and return to the resurrection point, and someone can help me hold back the group of iron bastards (heavy infantry) outside the camp, I will definitely be able to clear a path and take Brother Xiangcao into the camp."
"Then I will use a summoning spell to pull all our people into the enemy's position, and those cannons will not threaten us." Qin Guan continued happily.
The large summoning spell in "Book of the Dead" can only summon all players in the group to the area around Qin Guan, and it cannot "penetrate the model". If summoned under the outer wall, most of the players will appear outside the outer wall, and a small number will appear above the outer wall.
The Kenyan camp was heavily guarded, and they had powerful weapons such as guns and cannons. Without some unconventional means of clearing the area, it would be difficult for Qin Guan, who had a self-propelled teleportation array that could activate the Great Summoning Technique, to get into the camp.
After all, the gains from tying up prisoners and stealing equipment under artillery fire are limited. It is not as satisfying as breaking through from the inside and defeating the enemy and directly seizing the entire camp!
The two big players who usually fight to the death, at this moment when their interests are extremely consistent, firmly hold the bone claws together.
Players have explored this battlefield map before, and have fought against the "monsters" in this map before, so they are familiar with them and are very skilled in fighting them.
Less than two hours into the fight (in-game time), although I failed to break through the heavily guarded gate head-on, I was able to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a wave of melee attacks and defenses at the beginning, and luckily dragged back an officer NPC...
Well, this is also the main reason why the Kenyans became furious and used two types of cannons to bombard these undead souls regardless of the cost.
The most difficult step of this plan was to allow Brother Lahong and Qin Guan to reach the camp gate alive. Needless to say, if Qin Guan died, if Brother Lahong was hit by a cannon or killed by enemy firearms on the way, then the others would have to be teleported directly back to the resurrection point to activate the artifact.
This not only requires the cover of the elite group, but also the cooperation of players across the map to divert as much firepower as possible from the armed soldiers and artillery on the outer wall of the camp.
At the outermost edge of the battlefield, Scarface and other members of the game team probed the edge of the undead army several times to confirm that these undead would not drive them away or show hostility towards them just because they were close to the battlefield. Only then did they cautiously approach the Kenyan captives who were casually placed on the grass.
The approach of the Hayak guerrillas made the Kenyan captives change their faces, and some even shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of the undead - the undead did not kill the captives the last time they came to make trouble, and all those who were captured were rescued after the evacuation; but the undead will show mercy, but these Hayak guerrillas will not!
Seeing the familiar faces among the prisoners, Scarface and others' faces turned dark in an instant... The two sides have been fighting wits and courage in this area for many years, and the hatred is too deep.
When someone couldn't help but draw out a dagger, Captain Scarface suppressed his anger and stopped his teammates: "They are prisoners of the undead. We can't do anything that will cause the undead to misunderstand us."
The guerrilla with red eyes glanced at the undead that were approaching after noticing the movement here, and retreated with hatred.
The undead that came closer turned its head and looked at both sides, gestured to the guerrillas, then shook its head and walked away.
"Damn, I saw NPCs from both sides gathered together and thought there was going to be a plot." The player who walked away said disappointedly.
"Don't even think about it. You won't be able to get any missions without reputation. The boss is calling for a gathering, let's go," said the player's teammate.
In order to prevent his men from getting into trouble impulsively , Captain Scarface led his team members away and kept a distance from those "captives of the undead".
Retreating to where he had just stood, the scar-faced captain felt that something was wrong on the battlefield.
The undead, who were originally scattered and chaotic and fighting each other, seemed to have received some instructions and were all moving towards the Kenya camp.
Although these undead still had no formation to speak of, and the occasional falling shells often broke up the moving undead troops...but these brave undead soldiers were indeed firmly and unhesitatingly converging in the direction of the Kenya camp!
"Are the Undead about to launch a general attack?"
Scarface Captain was alerted. He ran to the edge of the hay field, climbed onto the flatbed truck that was transporting hay, and looked intently towards the Kenyan camp.
Relying on the observation height provided by the flatbed truck, Scarface was shocked to see... in front of the dense army of undead, a group of undead had already rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the camp gate, and were fighting with the heavily armored soldiers guarding the gate.
The Kenyan cavalry not far away tried to return to provide support, but they were trapped by countless undead inside and outside, and could not move.
The artillery and gunners on the outer wall on the side of the main gate kept firing at the vicinity of the Kenyan cavalry's position. White light flashed from time to time in the pile of undead, and a small piece of white land was cleared after the shells and artillery exploded. However, the undead seemed to not care about the threat of artillery fire and guns at all. They still rushed in frantically and trapped the Kenyan cavalry in place with their lives.
On the east side of Kenya's camp, in a direction that you can't see when standing on flat ground, more undead are advancing under dense artillery fire; many undead turn into white light and disappear halfway, and more undead are coming to fill their place...
Captain Scarface looked at this scene in shock.
This was a brutal charge beyond the imagination of normal people, and cruel war losses that no army could endure; but as far as Scarface could see, he did not see any undead retreating in fear of the battle.
In his eyes, the strange, lawless, and disorderly undisciplined army of undead was like thousands of brave and fearless moths, rushing towards the flames that would destroy them without hesitation.
However, after twenty or thirty seconds of fierce fighting, the number of undead that originally almost covered the entire battle area had been reduced by more than half.
The undead army, which had become much sparser, still had no fear of fighting and continued to charge bravely towards the enemy's guns.
The not-so-blind white light emitted by the dead undead almost burned the scar-faced captain's eyes.
Scarface couldn't bear to look at the undead who were attacking the outer wall under the bombardment, so he turned his gaze towards the camp gate.
Thanks to the selfless charge of countless undead, more than a dozen of them finally broke through the defense line of the heavily armored soldiers in front of the camp gate and rushed into the camp.
Scarface didn't know why these undead paid such a huge price to rush into the enemy's position. He just saw that the undead who had just rushed into the camp were quickly overwhelmed by the Kenyan soldiers who rushed over, and he felt his heart tighten -
The next second, a huge column of wind like a tornado suddenly blew up from the place where the undead were submerged.
The scarred man standing on the pallet truck and the big guy Mike who squeezed in to see what was going on, both stretched their necks forward at the same time.
The amazing wind column that blew away dozens of Kenyan soldiers stayed in place for a while and then suddenly moved deeper into the camp.
The speed of movement was very fast... The upper part of the wind column seemed unable to keep up with the speed of the lower part, and it tilted backwards awkwardly.
At a distance of several hundred meters, the Hayak guerrillas could not hear the chaotic screams coming from the Kenyan camp, but they could see people being swept up and thrown out by the wind column from time to time above the outer wall...
The Hayak Kingdom, which has been ravaged by war for many years, has been isolated from information, and the Hayak people, who are worried about the survival of their country, have no time to pay attention to other areas on the continent, but they still know where the magical creature that can create this kind of moving tornado comes from.
"——The Church of the Storm? These undead were sent by the Church of the Storm?!" Scarface seemed to hear the sound of his own worldview being shattered, and his facial features roared ferociously, "How is it possible? Doesn't the Church of the Storm reject all non-human creatures?"
Before Scarface could adjust his cognition, he saw a scene that made him doubt his life——
The more than a thousand undead remaining on the battlefield disappeared like bubbles.
At the moment the undead disappeared, a large area of brilliant white light burst out in the Kenyan camp, almost filling the entire camp.
Scarface stretched his neck forward again: "???"
The white light dissipated.
As far as Scarface could see, the interior of the Kenyan camp, the main gate, and even the outer walls were filled with densely packed undead.
The cannons and artillery mounted on the outer wall, and the soldiers with guns who killed countless undead, were instantly overwhelmed by countless undead.
Scarface: "(゜ロ゜) ???"
