Catherine stared into space.
She has maintained this posture for more than ten minutes.
For Catherine, now should be a time to race against time.
It is really a waste of precious time to be in a daze.
The steep wind blew the burnt gray-black leaves slowly into the air.
The drifting gray leaves were torn into pieces by the wind, turned into powder, and slowly disappeared into the air.
The scarlet sky seemed to be burning with fire, hot and dead silent.
Take a deep breath and calm your mind a little.
Catherine lowered her head and looked carefully at the letter in her hand again.
This is the reply letter from Qi Ge that Gru brought.
A letter that categorically, completely, and without leaving any room for doubt about the entire plan that he had come up with after racking his brains.
[Dear Queen
It’s been a while since we last met. How have you been?
I have received your letter.
I hope you can give careful consideration to the plan you proposed in your letter.
I can understand the fact that the entire country of Erathia has been under tremendous pressure since the beginning of the jihad.
I also understand your urgent determination to put the final nail in the coffin and deal a heavy blow to Hell as quickly as possible.
But, in my opinion, your plan is not worth implementing.
It is not a question of whether the plan can be successfully executed.
But even if your plan succeeds, it will be meaningless.
The core of your plan is to capture the [Fortress of Sin].
In your opinion, you must capture the [Fortress of Sin] in order to threaten the capital of hell [Heart of the Abyss].
But in my opinion, this is the wrong path that has been taken repeatedly by human leaders throughout the ages.
Please think carefully, is [Sin Castle] really important?
Even, is [Heart of the Abyss] really important?
…
…
From a macro perspective, we have now captured more than 12 main cities of Hell, and both fronts have achieved substantial results.
In your opinion, we are moving steadily towards victory step by step, and it is understandable that you would have further ideas.
But you have never discovered the most critical issue in the holy war - the particularity of the forces of hell, that is, the particularity of the abyss.
A local victory is not a global victory.
You and past human leaders have limited your focus on local victories, while ignoring the overall environment and the world situation, and therefore always formulate wrong global strategies.
Your Majesty, I am sure you are aware of the current situation in the Yasha world.
This is a world facing a doomsday crisis, a world struggling to survive in a quicksand trap.
The forces of hell are different from other forces.
Behind the forces of hell stands the abyss.
The entire Hell force is a complete small world embedded in the Yasa world.
The abyss does not belong to the Yasa world, it is just a parasite of the Yasa world.
What connects the abyss and the world of Yasha is the Tears of Yasha bestowed by the Mother Goddess.
When the situation is unfavorable enough for the forces of Hell, the Will of the Abyss has the ability to abandon the Tears of Yasha and forcibly sever the Abyss from the Yasha world.
When this happens, as the forces of Hell withdraw, the world of Yasa will become extremely unstable.
The more unstable the world is, the faster and more intense the chaos will erupt.
At that time, Erathia, which is adjacent to hell, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
I can assert that.
Erathia is not ready to face a high-intensity chaos outbreak right now, and neither is the Yasa world.
If this happens, the sacrifices will be hundreds or thousands of times that of a jihad.
Therefore, no matter how many local victories we achieve, we cannot attack the Heart of the Abyss. We cannot force the Abyss into a corner with no way to retreat.
Ofer can capture the capital of Erathia, [Holy Sky City], and can remove the Tears of Yasha from Erathia.
But not Erathia.
We are kidnapped by the abyss.
Although it is very unpleasant and extremely unfair to Erathia, this is the cruel truth facing Erathia.
Human beings always like justice and fairness.
But this world is neither just nor fair.
If we only consider local victories, the most we can do is to cripple Hell - killing Selron once is probably the limit.
After Selron's death, Hell will be peaceful for a long time without its demigods.
However, the people of the abyss are not law-abiding characters.
Once they recover some strength, they will surely [come back].
The particularity of the abyss is the core issue between humans and hell.
It can be expected that as long as this problem is not solved, the jihad will continue endlessly.
The conclusion is obvious. If you want to achieve overall victory and solve the abyss, you must first solve the chaos.
Only when the Yasa world completely defeated chaos did the will of the abyss lose its trump card of fighting to the death.
Only then will mankind have the opportunity to completely destroy the abyss.
But destroying chaos is much more difficult than destroying the abyss.
As enemies, the Abyss and Chaos are not on the same level.
Before we can completely eliminate Chaos, we need to find a way to make up for our disadvantages.
When dealing with a large wound, in addition to finding ways to heal the wound, it is also very important to stop the bleeding and bandage it.
Sorry, Your Majesty.
You will come up with the wrong plan, and it's my fault.
For some reason, I haven't been honest with you about the big picture.
But now, it's time.
My plan is to..."
The rest of the letter is written in a special language.
"Wonderful."
Catherine put down the letter from Seven Doves.
Even though she had seen it several times, she still felt a shudder all over her body.
Qi Ge's whimsical, ambitious and unimaginable plan made her hair stand on end and her heart beat fast.
“What an incredible plan.
Compared with Qi Ge's plan , my brilliant plan, which I thought was risking everything to survive, was just a child's play."
Catherine put the letter down and sighed softly.
“That’s the talent gap…
No wonder my father said I could be a good leader but not a good general.
Although I am reluctant to admit it, I have no choice but to admit that everything I did before was in vain.
It’s been a long time since I felt this kind of frustration.”
“My father once said, let people who are good at something do what they are good at.
Reasonable allocation of talents and maximization of human resources are the abilities that a king should have.
Since Qi Ge's strategic vision is far better than mine, I should just accept my fate and become a chess piece in his hands."
Catherine quickly adjusted her mentality. She picked up Qi Ge's letter again and read it carefully.
She had made up her mind to memorize the Seven Pigeons' plan word for word as a legacy course in the Erathian royal family's strategic class.
Above Catherine's head, Gru poked his head out of the red cloud that seemed to be on fire, frowned and muttered:
"Look again! Look again!
The 7th time.
What did Qi Ge write for her? Is it so good?
Could it really be a love letter?
Tsk. I should have seen through it when I got the letter.
Big mistake. "
…
…
The grade of [Endless Abyss] is not very high among all the Chaos Treasure Houses. It is probably at the same level as [Griffin Treasure House] and [Dragonfly Treasure House].
But its disgustingness is definitely the best among all the Chaos Treasure Houses.
[Endless Abyss] has no restrictions on the player's treasures and magic, but can only carry 7 teams of heroic soldiers at most, cannot carry any NPC soldiers, and cannot use war machines.
After entering the [Endless Abyss], players first need to defeat 7 teams of [monsters].
Then, you have to choose one team from the seven teams you bring to sacrifice.
If you want a perfect strategy, you must defeat 7 waves of enemies in the order of Jump, Magog, three-headed hound, long-horned demon, evil king, fire spirit, and big devil.
In other words, the player needs to sacrifice 6 teammates.
The sacrificed troops are equivalent to complete death, and will join the Great Demon's attack forces in the final wave.
The most difficult part of the [Endless Abyss] Treasure House is the sacrifice system.
The stronger the troops a player carries, the stronger the player's enemies will be.
In the end, the player needs to use 1 team of troops to deal with 13 teams of enemies, including 7 teams of big demons.
But if the player wants to bring cannon fodder to occupy the grid to make up the number, he must ensure that none of the cannon fodder in the team can die.
Otherwise, even the big devil won’t be seen , and the player will fail directly because all the troops are forced to be sacrificed.
To defeat the [Endless Abyss], two conditions must be met.
First: You must have a strong enough means to win.
With only 1 troop slot, you can defeat a total of 210 big demons and the soldiers sacrificed by the player.
Second: There must be an absolutely brilliant command strategy to ensure that no team of soldiers will be completely killed during the entire process.
The seven pigeons just happen to have both of these conditions.
Relying on the powerful [True Ten Thousand Sword Dancers], Qi Ge is confident that he can compete with the final big devil with hard power.
However, there are still risks - the Great Demon type of soldiers also has the [Death Game] skill.
[Death Game: When you are attacked or attack yourself, you will use dice rolling to determine the damage of the creature. The damage ratio of each point is completely different.
1 point: 25%.
2 points: 50%.
3 points: 100%.
4 points: 150%.
5 points: 200%
6 o'clock: 300%.
The number of points on the dice is determined by the difference in luck between the two parties. 】
If it weren't in the Chaos Treasure House, Qi Ge dared to assert that this stunt would pose no threat to him.
After all, with the wife watching over him, he would never suffer any loss.
But it’s different in the Chaos Treasure House.
Even though his luck is very high, it cannot offset Qi Ge's psychological trauma from his unlucky physique in his previous life.
Besides, attacking the Chaos Treasure House in such a conventional way was not in line with Qi Ge's habits.
Qi Ge prefers something a little more fancy.
[System prompt: You have discovered the Chaos Treasure House: Endless Abyss]
[System prompt: The road ahead is extremely dangerous. We strongly recommend that you return to seek help from NPC.
Do you want to visit? 】
"Access confirmed!"
[System prompt: The endless abyss of Chaos Treasure House is open]
Flames rose, the earth collapsed, and a bottomless hole was revealed.
“Swish!”
A pitch-black chain suddenly emerged from the big hole, and continued to wind its way up like a giant python, and finally stabbed fiercely under Qi Ge's feet.
A raging flame was generated in the darkness and burned along the chain to the feet of the seven pigeons.
The flames danced continuously like a burning soul, emitting all kinds of wails and cries.
A series of strange and disgusting voices overlapped and came out from the flames.
"Welcome to this game of the abyss!
Ignorant, drain your intelligence and strength to please us!! "
"Ha, you're pretending pretty well."
Qi Ge smiled disdainfully.
"Who can be scared by this little special effect? ​​At least make it look like the sky is falling and the earth is cracking, right?
Tsk, the Abyss is just shameless. It is still shameless even after being swallowed by Chaos."
"Your words make me feel a little complicated.
After all, I am also a descendant of the abyss."
Ruoqier pouted one lip and looked at Qi Ge angrily.
Qi Ge smiled and tilted his head:
"Then am I saying something bad about my mother-in-law?"
Ruoqier couldn't help laughing:
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. We have severed our mother-daughter relationship.
When you build the Peerless Heaven, my sister, I, and the Succubus will be able to truly escape the control of the Abyss."
“…Please stay tuned?”
"Don't make me wait too long."
Ruoqier touched her belly, and her words were like honey, exuding a heart-stirring charm and allure:
“The closer you get to the door of your dream, the more crazy you will become.
Especially, it is only one step away from the dream.
No matter what the cost, I will open that door.
If you can't push it open, smash it. If you can't smash it open, blow it up.
If you make me wait too long, I might do all kinds of bad things to you."
Qi Ge looked at Ruoqier's charming eyes and slightly swaying tail, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
He really didn't dare to imagine what kind of bad thing it would be.
Mythological buildings cannot be built just like that.
300 level 4 resources, a total of 150 items, and I haven’t collected them all yet.
"Hey. Ruoqi'er, don't worry, I will definitely remember it.
I'll go take down the Chaos Treasure House first, and we'll talk when I come back."
Qi Ge stepped on the chain and slid down along it.
On the chains, from the countless flames came the sounds of roaring, mocking, scolding, cursing, seducing..., stimulating Qi Ge's eardrums.
Qi Ge's eyes were calm and he was not moved at all.
This is the first test of the endless abyss.
If the player is shaken by the sound of the chain, he will immediately enter the battle.
Although the players are only fighting against about 600 [Hell Imps], the difficulty is not high.
However, the location of the [Hell Imp] when it appears is random, and it must act one round first. If you are unlucky, you will lose troops.
The most important thing is that the battle with the [Hell Imp] will not be counted into the progress of the [Endless Abyss] strategy.
This battle will continue until the player slides to the bottom. Every time the player wavers, the battle will begin immediately.
Endless and without end.
This is also the origin of the word "endless".
The first batch of players who explored the Endless Abyss suffered a lot in this stage.
For the local heroes of the Yasha world, this test is very difficult.
[Endless Abyss] will seem to be able to see through people's hearts and constantly provoke the attacker's emotions, causing them to waver if they are not careful.
But for players, this is not a problem at all.
