Chapter 60 The Winner of Both Sides
The battle at the training ground ended quickly.
The remaining several hundred Knights Templar were quickly surrounded and wiped out after Xu Ercong led the players' support forces to join the battlefield.
All the Knights Templar were killed, and the remaining ordinary soldiers no longer had the strength or the will to resist.
Although they are numerous, their strength is far inferior to that of the players, and they do not have the players' determination and courage to face death, so naturally they do not want to fight.
"Your Bishop is also dead!"
Xu Ercong yelled loudly, and with the help of the loudspeaker props of the Points Mall, his voice was heard directly by people all over the city.
"Soldiers present, my only enemies are the Knights Templar. I don't want to kill innocent people!"
"Put down your weapons, squat down and hold your head, surrender quickly, and you won't be killed if you surrender!"
Xu Ercong was very smart. He knew that the two major NPC forces, the Magician's Guild and the Adventurer's Tavern, did not join the battle. This was the most important reason why the player forces were able to capture the main city.
Although Xu Ercong, like most players, also wants to kill more NPCs to earn life points.
However, if we were to kill innocent people indiscriminately in the city even though we had achieved a decisive victory in the war, it would most likely arouse the dissatisfaction of these two major forces.
If these two major forces suddenly join the battle and resist the player forces, it will definitely cause unnecessary losses and increase the difficulty of capturing the NPC main city.
This is a scene that Xu Ercong and the three major clubs do not want to see.
After all, even if you start a war in a game, it needs to be driven by interests as a prerequisite. Who would fight for no reason in a war that has no interests or causes too much loss of interests?
Hearing Xu Ercong's call, the players all started to shout along.
"Squat down and hold your head. Surrender and you won't be killed!"
"Squat down and hold your head. Surrender and you won't be killed!"
"Squat down and hold your head. Surrender and you won't be killed!"
"You are surrounded!"
Long Aotian shouted excitedly: "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
For this group of soldiers, Xu Ercong's deterrent power was far less than Long Aotian's, because the man who had been fighting with them was the man holding the big blue bone knife.
So after Long Aotian's threat, most of the soldiers laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.
It was not until this moment that the siege was completely over.
The live broadcast room of the game forum was bustling with noise. Every deceased player and new player who was watching the live broadcast was very excited. As players, they felt proud.
"Fuck! We finally conquered it!"
"This battle was so exciting. They killed so happily. It's a pity that my level is too low and I can't join the battle."
"You're fine. You're already level 9. I just entered the game and created an account today."
"Why didn't I discover this game earlier? If I had discovered it earlier, I might have been able to join the team fight today!"
"It's really interesting that players attack NPC cities! What on earth are the game planners thinking that they allow such operations by default!"
"As far as I know, in the current gaming community, only Death God and Scourge can do this."
…
"A bunch of weak bones."
Long Aotian spitted, then said with a smile: "I think these NPCs are quite smart. They are actually afraid of death."
"It proves that the planning of Death God Scourge is very attentive and they have spent a lot of effort on ordinary NPCs."
Xu Ercong chuckled, then arranged for the players to clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies, confiscate the equipment, and then settle the prisoners.
Long Aotian is not particularly good at these management matters, or it can be said that he is too lazy to get involved. Naturally, the relevant person in charge of the Aotian Club will assist Xu Ercong in handling the aftermath.
As for Long Aotian himself...
"Hey, hey, hey, boss, where are you? Do you have any barley beer left?"
"Brother Aotian, I'm here!"
"Oh, I finally found you. Come on, have a drink."
"Let's go to the tavern. I have many friends who want to meet the great magician."
"Ahaha, you flatterer, let's go! Let's go to the pub and drink! But... I have no money."
"It's okay, it's my treat!"
Long Aotian chatted and laughed with the adventurers in the tavern, then left the battlefield and went straight to the Adventurer's Tavern.
Xu Ercong originally planned to call Long Aotian back via private message, but was stopped by the philosopher.
"Brother Cong, let him go. Brother Long can actually get along well with this bunch of ruffians."
The philosopher smiled and said, "Now that the main city has been taken, someone must be contacted by the Adventurer's Tavern and the Magician's Guild to settle these two NPC forces."
"Since Brother Long can get along well with this group of NPCs, it must be good for our player camp."
“That’s true.”
Xu Ercong nodded. When it comes to bragging, drinking, and socializing, no one can match Long Aotian.
Xu Ercong had experienced this a long time ago.
So Xu Ercong simply didn't bother to care about Long Aotian and focused on arranging the aftermath.
"Retrieve all the equipment! Have the NPC soldiers stay in the training ground, and leave a team of philosophers to guard it!"
"Other players, divide into teams and conduct a city sweep to eliminate all forces and personnel related to the temple!"
"Before dawn, I want to completely control this city!"
Following Xu Ercong's order, the players began to act in groups.
The players who had died previously also began to revive in the second half of the night , and then quickly rushed to the main city to provide support.
There were even some new players who secretly formed teams and left the forest to start visiting this city that belonged to the players in advance.
…
While Xu Ercong was busy, Xu Xiaofan was not idle either.
He was in the Hall of Death, counting the spoils of the night's war.
There were a total of about 5,000 temple knights and a bishop-level clergyman in the main city of the North. All of them had been killed, and more than half of their life points belonged to Xu Xiaofan.
In addition to the life energy contributed by this group of clergy members, many ordinary soldiers also died in this battle and contributed a lot of life energy.
There were also some stubborn adventurers who secretly joined the battle, wanting to test the fighting power of the undead , but were also killed by mistake. Some ordinary people in the city who were disturbed and ran around and actively attacked the undead were also killed.
If it were only these, it would be fine, but the key is that in order to win this war, the players prepared a large number of points and life points in advance and used them as costs to invest in the war.
Whether it is paying for Long Aotian's accelerated resurrection of the entire field, or paying for the life energy consumed by Xu Ercong's team players releasing skills, the accumulated amount is another considerable amount of life energy earned.
After all, all 35,000 of them basically died once, and some even died several times. In addition, the life energy consumed by this group of players releasing skills all night long has reached a terrifying number.
Every time players release undead skills, they need to consume life energy and provide it to the godhead system. The godhead system will then convert this life energy into undead aura or corresponding divine power to release skills.
The transformation process is very short and rapid, so players cannot detect it. Most of them think that they can directly release skills after consuming their life energy.
However, Xu Xiaofan had already made some adjustments during the transformation process.
For example, the Skeleton Berserker's "Undead Slash" skill requires players to consume 0.5 days of life energy, but the actual life energy required to release the skill is only 0.3 days, and the remaining 0.2 days of life energy goes directly into Xu Xiaofan's pocket.
The skills of each different undead profession require different amounts of life energy to be consumed, depending on the strength of the skill and the skill itself .
But no matter what skill it is, Xu Xiaofan has increased its actual consumption ratio, so that players have to pay themselves a "skill tax" every time they release a skill.
It can be said that in this war.
Xu Xiaofan is the winner who wins both ways.
He consumes the life energy of the players and the life energy of the temple clergy.
After a whole night, the life energy that Xu Xiaofan harvested accumulated into an extremely terrifying number!
"Let me see how much life energy I have now."
Xu Xiaofan opened the data board of the divine system, took a look, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and gasp.
"hiss!"
"Fuck! So many!"
Xu Xiaofan was shocked by the numbers above.
