Chapter 54: Dog-help Xu Ercong
"If we want to seize the main city, there are three main issues we need to consider."
The three project teams quickly finalized their ideas, and the person in charge looked at the three club bosses and explained in detail.
"First, the specific battle plan before seizing the main city. After discussion, we believe that we should not adopt a brute force strategy to attack the city."
"ah?"
Long Aotian's face was full of disappointment: "If we don't force the attack, then what's the point?"
When playing games like siege or something, if you don't use force to attack, there will be no passion at all and it's just a shitty game.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to him."
Xu Ercong glared at Long Aotian, and Long Aotian quickly lowered his head: "Brother is right, I was wrong."
Everyone was quite surprised. They didn't expect that Long Aotian would be so humble one day. It seemed that Xu Ercong had the means to suppress Long Aotian.
"Because from the intelligence we have so far, the continent of Esk has been influenced by the temple for many years, and the NPCs have a natural aversion to the undead."
"They don't care whether the undead are good or bad, or whether they can think or not. As long as they encounter undead, they will regard them as evil beings and call for their destruction!"
"This can be seen from the screenshots of some of the expansion book contents brought back by Mr. Berserker, and some of the official statements can also be used to support this."
"In summary, we cannot forcefully attack the main city, because we will not only face attacks from the Temple Knights, but we may also encounter joint resistance from the NPCs of the entire city."
The project team's analysis makes sense. After all, the NPCs in Death Note think like real people. When an enemy that everyone hates appears, won't everyone unite to fight against it?
This is obvious. The undead do not have any advantages on the continent of Esk. It can even be said that they have natural disadvantages and are hated by everyone.
"so what!"
Long Aotian shouted, "We will still attack! Whoever dares to resist will be killed! If all the NPCs in the city dare to unite, we will massacre them after we break into the city!"
“That makes sense.”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded: "Although what Brother Long said is vulgar, but I changed my mind and thought that the difficulty of attacking the city is just a little bit greater, but as long as the city is captured, the life points gained from the massacre should be very considerable."
The words of these two people made the members of the Operations Department's eyes light up.
yes!
Killing NPCs will give you life points, which are much more than low-level monsters!
"No, no, no, that's why we can't storm the city because we can't kill all the NPCs in the city."
The project leader said seriously: "This is the second point. We cannot arouse public anger. After we capture the main city, we must manage it better to avoid attracting more hatred from NPC forces."
"The current Esk Continent expansion pack is clearly a huge open-world game dungeon. Although it is mainly populated by humans, it is filled with multiple forces."
"I think everyone has played a strategy game before, right? You should all know that if a new force rashly joins the fight between game forces and kills a large number of ordinary people, it will definitely cause a joint encirclement and suppression by NPC forces across the map, right?"
The project leader smiled and said, "We absolutely do not have the strength to resist the encirclement and suppression of the NPC forces in the entire map, at least not at the moment, so we must not massacre the city and become a villain despised by everyone."
The project leader's words made everyone nod in agreement.
Everyone here is an expert in the gaming circle and has naturally dabbled in more than one type of games. Everyone knows what the consequences will be if they rashly offend the NPC forces of the entire map.
As an alien, if you massacre the human NPC main city, won't they come to kill you like crazy?
Xu Xiaofan, who had been eavesdropping secretly, suddenly felt that the players were the strangest group of people.
It is obviously not certain that we can capture their main city, but now that the mission plan has just been formulated, we have already taken into account what will happen after capturing the human main city.
What they are most worried about is not how to attack the human main city, but how to operate after taking the human main city and how to gain the greatest benefits in the cracks.
But think about it from another perspective. Xu Xiaofan himself had the same attitude when he played war strategy games before. He never considered what to do if he couldn't win the battle. He only considered what to do after he won the battle.
"fart!"
Long Aotian stood up again and said loudly: "Do you think I have never played a battle game? I played the real virtual Three Kingdoms 299th generation, and you know the Wuwei start! I kept sending out soldiers and cavalry, and beat the thief Dong so hard that he couldn't take care of himself! I seized Chang'an and killed the emperor. Liu Da'er and a group of NPC forces besieged me, but I still defeated them all!"
"Would you please shut up!"
Xu Ercong growled: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
"Okay, big brother, I'll shut up."
Long Aotian sat down obediently and muttered, "Why are you so cowardly? It's just a fight. You're not a man if you're so cowardly even when playing a game."
"I have heard of the Three Kingdoms 299 that Brother Long mentioned, but that game has programmed NPCs, which are definitely not as smart and anthropomorphic as the Death God Scourge NPCs. Moreover, the scale and complexity of the map of Three Kingdoms 299 cannot be compared with that of Death God Scourge."
"We cannot accurately judge the next actions and moves of the Death God Scourge NPC forces. We can only make simulated judgments and guesses based on the thinking of real wars."
"This is also the most attractive part of Death Scourge. Of course, Brother Long is right about one thing. Our Northern Forest starts similarly to Wuwei. As long as we take down the nearest human main city, it will be like having a natural forest barrier. We only need to take care of the defense in one or two directions."
The project leader paused and continued, "In addition to the above two points, there is one last problem ."
"Third, the problem with the hidden mission Alia."
The project team said hesitantly: "Our project team is considering whether to contact Alia in advance and let her join our camp before the main city war begins."
"If we succeed, we will not only be undead, but at least there will be humans from the School of Magic involved. This is equivalent to directly solving the second most difficult problem."
"Aliya?"
Bai Xiaosheng lowered his head to think, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I looked at Lao Kuang's mission map. Alia is too far away from here. If we want to find her, we must pass through the human main city."
A member of the Operations Department proposed a new idea: "Should we wait until Arya gets closer to the North, conquer her, and then attack the city?"
"no."
Xu Ercong shook his head: "We must act in the next few days. The assassin team has sent a message. The temple forces in the main city have probably guessed that we killed the previous team of knights. This group of people can't help it for too long. They have been very active recently."
"I'm worried that even if we want to wait, these Temple Knights won't be able to wait."
"What are you afraid of?"
Long Aotian couldn't help it again. He held his big bone knife and cursed: "I say, whether it's troublesome or not, just go and fight first! There are so many problems before the battle. Let's take down the main city first!"
Just when Xu Ercong was about to scold Long Aotian, a notification from the divine system suddenly appeared.
[Dear players, due to the successful advancement of the world line plot of the world-class mission, the products in the points mall are now officially updated. Please pay attention to check the newly listed points products. 】
"Huh?"
Xu Ercong was stunned. Why were new points products suddenly put on the shelves at this time? What was the planner's intention?
Or did they accidentally stumble upon a new world-class mission plot?
Everyone in the conference room fell silent and opened the items in the points mall at the same time to check out the newly listed points items.
The points mall was originally a logistical ammunition depot provided by Xu Xiaofan to the players, so that players could obtain more means from it, fully improve their own strength, and better fight against the believers of the God of Light.
If you want cows to work, you have to let them eat grass.
For the sake of his believers, Xu Xiaofan also took great pains to add many new points products to the points mall.
Although all the points-earning goods were made with great effort using divine power, including magic items and magic props, etc., which consumed a lot of Xu Xiaofan's energy, Xu Xiaofan did not suffer any loss.
The production of each point product requires divine power converted from life span, which means that the cost of the point product is a certain amount of life span energy.
However, the prices of the point-based merchandise that Xu Xiaofan puts on the shelves have all been strictly calculated by the Godhead. If players want to use points to purchase point-based merchandise, they must kill NPCs from the temple forces in order to get points.
However, every time players kill a temple NPC, Xu Xiaofan will gain new life energy.
In this way, it is equivalent to players using life energy to purchase point goods. As long as Xu Xiaofan slightly increases the price ratio of items in the point mall, he will actually make a profit.
Not only the players in the conference room, but also the players who were killing monsters in the Kingdom of Death and the forest, opened the points mall to check.
"A one-time scroll of invisibility for all! And a human skin decoration!"
"Undead breath blocker! And a range-blocking magic device!"
"Fighting spirit shielding device! And a large scroll to confuse people!"
"What the hell, what are these? They are so expensive. They are obviously top-grade props!"
Players are very curious as to why the new items introduced in the points mall this time are all these powerful and mostly disposable items.
It looks like it was specially prepared for players to play in groups.
In the conference room.
Bai Xiaosheng and Long Aotian stared at Xu Ercong. They circled around Xu Ercong and looked him up and down.
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Ercong was a little scared when he was stared at: "You have never seen a man before!"
"Yeah, I've never seen a man as handsome as you."
Long Aotian sighed a little, and Bai Xiaosheng followed up: "Brother Cong, tell me the truth, are you planning to have an illegitimate child?"
"how you said that?"
"How come we just discussed three problems with sieges, and the planner immediately updated the points mall. The new things in it just perfectly solve our three problems!"
Bai Xiaosheng's expression was very serious: "Isn't this evidence?"
"You must have bought the shares without telling us! Now it's confirmed!"
Long Aotian was heartbroken: "You bastard, you want to play games even after you have invested in the company, do you think you are interesting?"
"shameless."
Bai Xiaosheng was also disgusted, but then he smiled and said, "Brother Cong, how much does it cost to invest? I also want to invest in this game."
"I don't want to bother with you guys."
Xu Ercong rolled his eyes, then waved his hand: "Come on, the three major clubs should get together, exchange the new items in the points, and prepare to start the siege!"
"So soon? Can't we wait a few more days?"
"Wait a minute, today!"
Xu Ercong was particularly domineering: "Our planner dad is supporting us so much, how can we not give him some support? Let's take down the human main city today!"
"Brother Cong, I love you!"
Long Aotian shouted excitedly: "Take me to kill people! Take me to attack the city!"
…
The sun is about to set.
Moriah stood beside the battlements of the city wall, looking towards the North Forest.
"No news yet from Eric's team?"
"Yes, your Excellency."
A temple knight stood behind Moria and said respectfully: "It has been seven days. The lucky eagles sent to look for them have not found anything. Everyone in Eric's team is missing, including the lucky eagles in the team."
"Even the body has not been found, and even Fu Ying can't come back."
Moria sighed deeply: "What about the patrol team? Have they found anything yet?"
"We found nothing outside the forest, and I didn't ask them to search deep inside the forest."
"You did a great job. If we let the patrol go deep into the forest, I'm afraid they would disappear mysteriously just like Eric did."
Moriah took a deep look at the outline of the forest in the distance and said, "The whole city is under martial law! I will go back and write a petition and ask the Lord of the Temple to send a high priest over. This forest is not simple."
