Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 26: Violent Resistance to the Law
Seeing that his other half was subdued by me, the male blood bat suddenly became extremely depressed. After my unremitting efforts, he finally surrendered to the "Soul Contract" and successfully achieved the predetermined goal. I named them "Bat Man" and "Bat Woman" respectively. Looking back, the willpower of the high-level undead at the level of the Terror Knight is indeed firm. If I had not just caught their spiritual weaknesses, it would probably be a "protracted war" of patience to forcefully subdue them with my current strength. Moreover, according to theoretical inference, it is possible that they will not surrender even after ten days or half a month. I am afraid that no one can really persist for so long.
The experience after returning to the high-level undead creature area also confirmed this point. Even the weakest Horror Giant Bear Knight was quite unruly. I tried my best to find them alone to ambush. With the help of Red Star and Bat Man and Bat Lady, it was easier to capture them alive, but they were all stubborn and refused to surrender. They were not rare species. I really didn't have the patience to waste time with them. The longest time was that I tried my best to "instruct" a Horror Giant Bear Knight for three hours, but I couldn't "enlighten" it. I was so angry that I just killed it. After several consecutive failures, I couldn't help but resign myself to my fate. Now I have only been promoted to the fifth-level profession. I don't need to force myself if my strength is not enough. I will continue to think about the Dark Knight.
The human world has been very lively these days, with constant news. Even "Tian Media" has used a lot of space to focus on the report, attracting a lot of players' attention. First, the Oriental Cathedral in Beijing was attacked by 19 dark professionals, including the famous magic knight Long Xingtianxia and the undead wizard Ah Dai, two artifact owners. However, the sneak attack failed and was ambushed instead, and almost all of the troops were wiped out. It is said that there was also a player who "abandoned the dark and joined the light" and turned his back on the battlefield, indicating that the dark camp had already wavered and split in the face of the powerful power of the Church of Light. But then the dark forces immediately fought back. Led by Long Xingtianxia and Ah Dai, and all with the identity of "wanted criminals", only seven people broke into the Oriental Cathedral that had made them experience failure and shame again. They climbed up from where they fell, killed the traitors surrounded by more than a hundred light NPCs, and then calmly retreated, proving the confidence and strength of the dark profession to persist in the struggle in front of all players. The two major forces attacked and defended each other, and initially opened the prelude to the war between light and darkness in the Eastern Continent.
The northern and southern continents also caused disputes of varying degrees. The male players in the northern continent were all dwarves, not very suitable for being knights or magicians. Only a small number of female players liked to compete. The power of the dark profession was not great, and the Church of Light did not have much development prospects. The few disputes that occurred were minor and did not have much impact. However, the situation in the southern continent was more tense than our eastern continent. They seemed to be more united and organized than us. Some undead wizards and magic knights usually maintained close contact. They actually summoned sixty or seventy level four and level five dark professionals to forcibly attack a cathedral. Although it was said that they paid a considerable price, they eventually destroyed the angel statue inside, doing what we did not do. It is said that the leaders were the magic knight Desert Eagle, the undead wizard Night Bonfire and the Star, who represented the southern continent in the "Four Continents Elite Challenge". The dark professionals in the southern continent gained unprecedented prestige, and there was a tendency to surpass our eastern continent. However, this also attracted more attention from the Church of Light. Not only did they mobilize the elite troops of the Knights of Light and the Priests of Light to hunt down the "wanted criminals" of the dark profession, but a large number of players of the light profession in the Western Continent also entered the Southern Continent, roaming around in groups, attacking players of the dark profession when they saw them, and there were NPCs of the light system "patrolling" near them, so that they would have an excuse to intervene once a conflict broke out. A bloody storm was set off in the entire Southern Continent, forcing the dark profession players to no longer appear in public, and they could only hide in the "Dead Soul Space" or "Devil Prison" all day to avoid the limelight. This is also the reason why our Eastern Continent has not suffered any retaliatory actions even though it has caused such a big mess. Even our "wanted criminals" can swagger around the city "shopping" without the intervention of the NPCs or players of the light system. The power of the Church of Light is a little too weak.
The most unlucky person in the Eastern Continent right now should be the traitor Yeban Wu Ren. He was killed while praying in the church. He did not join a mercenary group, so he could only be resurrected in the village. The "Eradication Team" of the Dark Camp was staring at him covetously. As soon as they found him resurrected in the human world, they immediately rushed over to kill him. Under the siege, he had no chance to escape to the church in the city to seek shelter, and could only be sent back to the "Resurrection Corridor". Because he had not yet gone through the prayer ceremony, the NPCs of the Church of Light could not directly come forward to protect him. At the same time, they were busy dealing with the destruction of the church in the Southern Continent and trying their best to restore their falling reputation. Although some light players were dispatched from the Western Continent to support him, the number was not too large. To a large extent, it should be just a gesture to give him psychological comfort - such a few players could not cover him to escape from the hands of the "Eradication Team". It is said that he was killed again in the human world after the previous resurrection for less than half an hour.
According to the regulations, the "Eradication Team"'s pursuit would last for a whole month, which was calculated based on his online time. Even if he died, he had to stay in the "Resurrection Corridor" honestly. He could not escape punishment by being offline for a long time, unless he gave up the game. Even if he survived, with this month's delay, it would be extremely difficult for him to stand out in the Church of Light, which was full of talents. Yeban Wuren naturally did not want to delay in vain. He gave up the good results he had achieved in the dark profession and turned to the Church of Light. It was obvious that he was seeking better development and would never tolerate long-term "imprisonment" punishment. The players of the Light Department could not be counted on, so they actually planned to adopt "violent resistance to the law" and intervene in the fight with the "Eradication Team" with players of other professions. They gathered a group of friends, all over the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the White Tiger City where they were registered, ready to pick him up at any time. The members of the "Eradication Team" would be besieged as soon as they showed up. A hero could not stand up to the crowd. Last time, he almost escaped successfully, and lost several elites of the "Eradication Team". It is said that the Church of Light has also issued instructions for those players who have signed up or intend to join the Church of Light to participate in the rescue of Night Half No One, to jointly defend the dignity and honor of the Church of Light. Therefore, the number of players who pick up Night Half No One is constantly increasing, and the balance of power is drastically unbalanced. The next time he is resurrected, he may be able to successfully escape into the church. Having learned a lesson once, and with the "Holy Plate" to contain him, it will definitely not be so easy to rush into the heavily guarded cathedral to kill him again.
Under such circumstances, all the dark professional players in the Eastern Continent received orders to start an "emergency general mobilization", because this was a "spontaneous" reinforcement behavior between players, and the NPCs of the "Eradication Team" could not be adjusted and strengthened in a targeted manner, but everyone had the responsibility to hunt down the traitors, and it was time for us players to make contributions, and other professional players who were inclined to darkness and intended to join the "Resistance Alliance" could also participate. Those who dared to actively attack the "Eradication Team" NPCs were already regarded as "unfriendly elements" and became "gray characters" who were neither black nor white. Their bodies would appear light white for a period of time. Although they would not be publicly wanted during this period, they would no longer enjoy the system's protection for neutral players, and could launch attacks at will at any location. Killing them was guiltless and would not be punished by the mercenary guild's wanted list. Of course, other professional players who actively attacked the light NPCs would be treated equally and "enjoyed" the same treatment, except that their bodies would appear light gray for a certain period of time.
As a large number of players joined the battle of light and darkness that almost affected the entire Eastern Continent, the forces hidden behind Yeban Wu Ren also revealed their clues. No wonder he, who was inconspicuous at the beginning, had such a big hand. He knew that Tongxin League and Long Xing Tian Xia's Longteng Mercenary Group were partners, but he dared to attack us. In the end, a strange army with unknown origins suddenly appeared and almost succeeded. He showed a very strong strength. It turned out that Hua Mantian and Yamato Spirit were secretly supporting him. In addition to the little forces of Yeban Wu Ren himself, the main force that came to rescue was Hua Mantian's Huadu Mercenary Group and Yamato Spirit's Sun Never Sets Mercenary Group. They almost came out in full force and mobilized the peripheral forces attached to them. The entire Baihu City area was unprecedentedly lively, and groups of players could be seen cruising around in every village and town.
I had long guessed that Ye Ban Wu Ren's "challenge" was not that simple, but even though we and A Feng were aware of the situation, we only had some doubts in private and were not sure that this matter was related to Hua Hua Gong Zi. Now that they have made such a fuss, it is obvious that they have confessed without being asked. Without a deep relationship, who would be willing to make such a big effort to rescue them? Ye Ban Wu Ren was just a cover hanging in front. Hua Man Tian and Yamato Spirit should be the mastermind and behind-the-scenes manipulator of the "challenge" incident. They have suffered such a big loss at the hands of us and Long Xing Tian Xia. Given their character, it would be unreasonable for them not to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
Now that he knew that Hua Mantian was also involved in the struggle between our dark profession and Ye Ban Wu Ren, and that he had a reasonable "excuse" to challenge Hua Mantian, A Feng would naturally not miss such a good opportunity. Even if he could not kill Hua Mantian personally, as long as he destroyed his plan to rescue Ye Ban Wu Ren, he would have achieved his goal - the enemy's pain is our joy, and the enemy's failure means our victory.
When I resurrected from the "Dead Soul Space" and saw the announcement, Afeng also left me a message, briefly explaining the news to me. He couldn't wait to rush over first, and Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying, Diewu and others were also traveling with him. They didn't put in too many people. It seemed that they were participating in their personal capacity and didn't want to have a full-scale conflict with the two major mercenary groups, Huadu and Ri Bulu. I contacted Long Xing Tianxia, and he also received the notice and rushed to Baihu City. Bai Yunjian, Bajiugaoge and other top masters of Longteng also decided to get involved. Putting aside the fact that Hua Mantian and Yamato spirits obstructed the dark NPC from punishing Ye Ban Wu Ren, the big traitor, the fact that they had colluded with each other to "darkly " deal a "black hand" to us was enough to teach them a lesson.
There are more than a hundred towns and villages in the Baihu City area. Because no one knows in which town Ye Ban Wu Ren will be resurrected, no matter what purpose the players have, they cannot gather together to act. They randomly disperse to various towns and villages to see who can be lucky enough to find Ye Ban Wu Ren first after his resurrection. Therefore, I did not meet up with A Feng, Long Xing Tian Xia and others. I just found a larger town to wait for the opportunity. However, most of the players who dare to openly move in the towns and villages are neutral professions. Because the targets of the light and our dark players are obvious, they are afraid of being persecuted by hostile forces, so they can only hide in the periphery of a certain town and wait. The war is about to start. Because both the light and dark sides have no unified deployment arrangements, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. Therefore, most of the players around are unknown and have unknown intentions. Everyone is holding weapons and alert, and it is impossible to hide their professions at all - once you show your weapons, your professional badge will be displayed. Although we necromancers have a second profession, this is already known to everyone, and the level of the second profession is generally not high, just like I am just an intermediate thief. Today, when level 5 professions are no longer new, it cannot be said that there are no players who have only been promoted to level 3 professions. However, if a level 3 professional dares to wander around in such a dangerous place, he is either an idiot or a necromancer. It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. He may be killed first by those hot-headed and extremely nervous allies in the middle of the night. Skynet, who received the notice and rushed over, contacted me specifically to warn me not to enter the village. He rashly broke in under the banner of an intermediate fire magician, pretending to be a rookie, and was chased by a group of players. If it were not for a few high-level friends from other professions who knew several masters of the other side and came forward to help smooth things over, he would have almost died.
In fact, even without his warning, I would not dare to openly break into villages and towns during such a sensitive period. I still have a red light on my body and am a "wanted criminal" of the Church of Light. Moreover, because I broke into the Eastern Cathedral again and killed the traitor in the middle of the night when no one was around, I committed a new "crime", and ten days were added to my sentence. The red light is even more "dazzling". I guess those players who want to make meritorious deeds and show that they are inclined towards the Church of Light will be happy to make trouble for me, especially when they are obviously outnumbered.
I found a remote place and waited under a tree. The time when no one resurrected in the middle of the night was approaching. The place where he appeared would definitely cause an unusual sensation. As a traitor being hunted, he would enjoy the highest standard of "treatment". Once he left the protection of the church, his body would appear thick black, and he would have nowhere to hide like us "wanted criminals". Even if he didn't resurrect in this town, we had people everywhere, and I could quickly get the news and rush over.
