Volume 13: The Lights in the Sky Are All Enemies Chapter 12: Hall of the Undead (Part 1)
"The Fourth Division of the Space Expeditionary Force...?"
"Yes, you don't think that we are the only high-end combat force in the entire Holy Light? The others are all in different war zones and expeditionary forces."
As if he noticed Li Lin's puzzlement, Angolo looked proud and said:
"Currently, there are six major expeditionary forces, attacking Hell, Universe, Subspace, Nightmare, Void, and Abyss. An expeditionary force is responsible for hundreds of war zones, or as few as dozens. We have been assigned to the fourth division of the Universe Expeditionary Force, and there are currently 153 god-level or Privy Council-level figures available for dispatch."
"This combat power coefficient is expanding a bit too fast..."
“Is this big?”
"But look, there are 150 of these gods in just one battle zone. Now you say there are at most 100 and at least dozens. That means there are more than 100,000 gods..."
"Ah, that's not the case. The main reason is that the war zone we are currently in charge of is not on the Pale Road's route. It is a newly developed route, so we naturally need a little more manpower. The total number of people who can reach the god level participating in the Pale Expedition is probably only a few thousand or ten thousand."
"What do you mean by only a few thousand to ten thousand people..."
That's a god, isn't it? Is it really okay for his fighting power to collapse so quickly?
Thinking about the meaning of this number, Li Lin felt that his current worldview was probably collapsing in pieces.
The legendary god who is so rare that you can't see his head and tail, there are tens of thousands of them casually. Isn't this fighting power so inflated that it must be bursting? Do you still have any self-esteem in the game? Is it really okay to fight a cosmic boss with tens of thousands of people at the same time? Although it is a cosmic background, this is too ridiculous, isn't it?
That's a god, a ruthless person who can distort the rules around him. There are tens of thousands of people coming up. You can tie them up and use them as a military. Is this really appropriate? Although the background is the universe, and although this is the Pale Expedition, no matter from which angle, this is just like the protagonist of a novel who finally reaches the Nascent Soul stage, and then the immortals in the sky can't wait to start the Doomsday War. What's the difference? I'm still young, can you let me go for a while? I think I can survive.
"Well... Generally speaking, you may have some misunderstandings about the combat power of gods or god-like beings. Or you may not be clear about the strength of both sides."
The Insect Swarm did its best to act as a commentator and answered Li Lin's questions.
"On a battlefield of this magnitude, gods are indispensable as frontline commanders, and there are also a large number of gods sitting in the rear as guards to prevent other organizations from carrying out decapitation activities. In fact, when the forces are close to each other, the war itself is a long and boring thing."
"We can indeed mobilize tens of thousands of gods, which seems very powerful, but the demons also have the same number of gods, or even more, waiting for us. There are even gods from the Free Alliance taking action. If the commander is not a god, the decapitation tactic is likely to cause confusion at the grassroots level. Therefore, only gods can stabilize the rules and keep communications and minds open. Rather than saying that gods come to fight, it is better to say that gods are here to maintain the battlefield."
"The rules suppress each other, and what they bring is neither amplification nor destruction, but mutual cancellation. Gods are difficult to kill, and their domains are extremely effective for a long time. Compared with the previous Pale Road, which had major amplification, our Fourth War Zone is the main attacker. There is no auxiliary effect brought by the Pale Road in the past and the mutual cancellation of other gods' marks. In short, the role of us gods now is not to really fight on the battlefield, but to cancel out the enemy's rules, gradually purify the planet and the universe, and let them adapt to normal logic and worldview again. We are responsible for maintaining the basic guarantee that we can still maintain our combat effectiveness when fighting away from home. The real battle still depends on the middle and lower-level officers."
"Ah, I see."
Li Lin clapped his hands and immediately understood how these divine commanders operated.
"To put it simply, the places where the demons and enemies stay are their lairs that they have been operating for countless years. Your role is to render all their arrangements ineffective, forcing them to fight on equal terms with the other side, and then the remaining troops will attack. Am I right?"
"Well, it is a bit similar. It's just that we can rush in with great force because of our strength and numbers . You know, when it comes to the god level, the corrosiveness of the holy light alone is difficult to play a role. Although it can still burn to death, they have generally mastered operations similar to the multiple filtering of the isolation network. These are all things done by those so-called free alliances. If those people didn't secretly support us, our progress would be much faster."
However, precisely because we have to guard against those people's dirty tricks, we have no choice but to exchange the pieces this way.
Rather than guarding against demons, it would be more accurate to say that we are guarding against the people from the Freedom Alliance.
The Hive Mind sighed after finishing his words. There were demons grinning in front of them, and the Free Alliance was stabbing them from behind. The Pale Crusade was unsustainable, and the cause of justice was full of twists and turns. It was as if the current Pale Crusade was not using one ten-thousandth of the universe's population to defeat the remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
"…The above are all the commanders of the dispatched troops. When the time comes, please follow the guidance of the intellect to the Primordial Light to receive the command mark."
While Li Lin was chatting happily with the Hive Will, the serious man on the stage had finished talking about their respective positions, then turned to the next page, pushed up his glasses, and said loudly to the many intellectual beings - because many of them really couldn't be sure of their gender, or even whether they were alive:
"Now announcing the new sequence composition. In view of the emergence of the cosmic wonder 'players', the probability of these undead joining various organizations is very high. The cost and time of clearing them out are too high, so we decided to list a separate one for rescuing or intercepting. The new department, the Undead Hall, has 14 commandos under it, all of whom are composed of undead. They are used to fight against enemy undead members on various battlefields, or to conduct battlefield assaults."
"The main person in charge is the Pure Life, the First Pioneer, the player Li Lin. Mr. Li Lin, if you have any other opinions, please feel free to raise them. We will consider them as appropriate. Although the Undead are not a particularly outstanding group of people at present, their growth potential is obvious to all. In this regard, we will consider your suggestions."
“……???”
What the hell does this have to do with me? I'm just a temporary worker.
It's fine to suddenly convert a temporary worker into a regular employee, but you also promote him to the position of department head. Do you want me to take the blame?
Faced with the encouraging voice of the serious-looking man, Li Lin could only reveal a puzzled expression, expressing his ignorance and confusion.
