Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 1: Grab Six
The destruction of the deserted Angyang Mercenary Group in the middle of the night is actually a milestone in the War of Light and Darkness, making the "Resistance Alliance" officially known and accepted by the majority of players. Although we are temporarily at a disadvantage overall and cannot openly confront the Church of Light in a short period of time, we have demonstrated our strong strength in local conflicts and have become an organization qualified to "challenge" the Church of Light.
In the alliance, especially for those of us who support Long Xing Tian Xia, we all gained something from this battle, and it can be said that everyone is happy. Long Xing Tian Xia planned such a large-scale operation and achieved unprecedented success, establishing prestige in front of all alliance members, and also defeated the "world's best master" that the Church of Light has always advocated - the highest honor of the Elite Knight of Light, which greatly boosted the morale of the dark professional players and initially consolidated his position as the chairman of the board of directors. And Afeng was also very happy to "ravage" Hua Mantian, who had just been transferred to the apprentice knight of light, and for a moment he was unable to live or die. This was originally Hua Mantian's most common way to deal with weak enemies (excerpted from Hua|Hua|Gong|Zi's Quotations - "The weak should have the awareness of being weak, and should not overestimate their own strength to be enemies with the strong, and use eggs to hit stones, and be bullied in vain." This was the "parting words" that Afeng heard after being beaten up and spitting out saliva when he went to him to argue about his girlfriend's affairs. Now Afeng used the same method to return the favor , and finally relieved his "ex-girlfriend". It is said that this Hua|Hua|Gong|Zi was so angry that he stretched his neck and howled, staring at Afeng with eyes that were almost spitting fire, but he was not as skilled as others, so he could only suffer with Ye Han Wu Ren - this big traitor died even more miserably, almost being executed by slow slicing, and there were many onlookers around him who cursed him, which was really embarrassing. We can only blame them for joining in the fun even though they are clearly not strong enough. They are too confident in the so-called Iron Triangle Alliance and underestimate the determination and strength of our "Resistance Alliance."
Others such as Bai Yunjian, Long Kong and Yue Linglong also performed well in the battle. After joining the "Resistance Alliance", neutral professional players are equivalent to dark professions. Killing light professional players will also receive additional qualification points, and everyone has a share of the credit. As for me, I naturally gained a lot. First of all, I showed my super strength in front of the elite members of the "Resistance Alliance". Red Star, Blood Bat and Horror Giant Bear Knight are temporarily unmatched. Other undead wizards summoned dark knights, which further consolidated my position as the "No. 1 Wizard in the World". I believe that there should be no problem in holding the position of director. In addition, the accumulated merits have enabled me to obtain additional rewards from the dark camp and get a "Spirit Sealing Card", an item similar to the size of a playing card, with a color and texture like black jade, and it is temporarily empty without any patterns or patterns. This is a good thing. You don't need to use the "Soul Contract" to subdue the undead creatures. You can seal any dying undead creature in the "Dead Space" inside. Any undead creatures as strong as a bone dragon or as weak as a skeleton can be sealed. When needed, you only need to consume 10% of your mental power to release the undead creatures sealed in the "Soul Sealing Card" to help in the battle.
However, each "Soul Sealing Card" can only be used once, and the sealing process is also quite cumbersome. Once started, it cannot be stopped midway. If it is interrupted by interruption, the "Soul Sealing Card" will lose its effectiveness and become a waste. In addition, the undead creatures released to help in the battle have a certain time limit. The stronger the strength, the less time they can be controlled. If they exceed the specified time, they will break away from the control of the caster and move on their own. If they are in the human world, they will automatically return to the "Dead Soul Space". If they are originally in the "Dead Soul Space", they may backfire on their owner. With the "Soul Sealing Card", to a large extent, it is equivalent to having an extra red star, or even a higher-level undead that is more powerful than the red star. I believe it will definitely bring me surprises at critical moments. Of course, it is just an empty card now, and I don't want to use it casually. I will never use it easily unless I encounter "goods" that are tempting enough to attract me.
What makes me most happy is the growth of my seniority value. Because of Red Star's outstanding performance, I killed dozens of players from the enemy camp. These were guys with seniority values almost the same as mine. Everyone got extra rewards, which was an absolute "big supplement". My seniority value, which had been stagnant and growing slowly, took a big step forward and is already close to the top. If I work hard to kill Terror Knights for a few more days, I should be able to be promoted to the sixth-level professional Undead Mage.
This is what I am most eagerly looking forward to. Although I have been persevering with perseverance and finally broke through the bottleneck, I can only barely subdue the lowest-level Horror Giant Bear Knight, and it takes nearly six hours. The efficiency is too low. I may not be able to deal with the Horror Tiger Knight with a slightly higher level. My strength has improved to a certain extent, but it has not helped much in the growth of my qualifications and mental power. If I want to make substantial progress, I still have to strive to be promoted to the sixth-level profession. You know, when using the "Soul Contract" to subdue the undead, especially the high-level undead, the level of basic mental power (minus the effects of various equipment props) plays an increasingly important and even decisive role. The effects of my "Supreme Corpse Crown" and "Dark Demon Robe" and other equipment are not very helpful for subduing the undead of the Horror Knight and above. It depends more on the basic mental power increased by professional promotion. Although there is no clear explanation in the "Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures" and other related documents, when I was distressed by my repeated failures in subduing the Horror Giant Bear Knight, I made a special trip to the Undead Forest and got the answer from Old Mason.
And there is another consideration for the promotion. All along, except for me who became the first job changer in Tianxia by luck, the first promotion from the second level to the fifth level of the current profession is the supreme honor of being a Knight of Light. This is definitely something that can only be done by relying on strength. Every time it is publicized in the form of system announcements throughout Tianxia, it is widely known and becomes the best way of publicity. It also indirectly contributes to the momentum of the light profession, and is also an important factor in the supreme honor becoming the "world's best master" in the minds of most players. If we want to completely break the "myth" carefully concocted by the Church of Light and break the rumors of "the superiority of light", we must find a way to pull the supreme honor down from this "honor". He will definitely not give up easily. We can only work hard to strive for the first step of promotion and be replaced by our "Resistance Alliance", preferably the dark professional players.
This is the next goal of the "Resistance Alliance" proposed by Long Xing Tian Xia after the "Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkey" plan. After the discussion and approval by the Council, the candidates with hope will be selected from the entire alliance. Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle, who were originally close to the Supreme Honor in terms of seniority, have been busy planning and developing the "Resistance Alliance" and "Class Struggle" and other matters recently. Their leveling progress has been affected to a certain extent, and the possibility of surpassing has been reduced a lot. When I was promoted to the fifth level of the profession, I was about half a month behind the Supreme Honor, and I was far behind Long Xing Tian Xia. I was delayed several times because of some things in the middle. I never thought about competing for the first promotion to the sixth level of the profession. However, relying on the large number of NPCs and players who killed the bright profession in several previous actions, including many high-level NPCs above the fifth level, the seniority value has increased a lot. Compared with each other, I have become the most likely candidate to be promoted first among the known people, and I have undertaken this "glorious mission" with several other candidates. Therefore, this promotion to level six is not only related to my personal future, but also involves the honor of the entire "Resistance Alliance". For this reason, the Council has specially applied to establish the "First Promotion Award" to reward the "Resistance Alliance" member who is honored as "the first person to be promoted in "Tianxia"". I can't help but try my best.
It took nearly two and a half months to upgrade from the fourth-level profession to the fifth-level profession. Now, nearly three months have passed since he was promoted to the fifth-level profession. He also won the 6% of the qualification points for winning the first place in the individual and team competitions of the Hero Conference on February 1st. He also has the qualification points bonus effect of killing the enemy camp players. He has carried out missions several times and his hands are stained with the blood of many dark camp players. It is estimated that he should be promoted soon. This is also thanks to the fact that there are no ordinary NPCs in the dark camp for him to kill, and generally they do not directly participate in the action. Moreover, our "Resistance Alliance" will not easily confront the Church of Light head-on, and there are not many opportunities for him to get extra qualification points. They are in the light, and we are in the dark. In comparison, at least from the current situation, he can't get much from us. Otherwise, if I calculate according to my progress, he should have been promoted long ago.
Advancing to the sixth-level profession is originally a very normal thing for an individual, but it was suddenly given such a "glorious and significant" meaning, which suddenly added more pressure to me. In fact, I have worked hard enough when I was concentrating on leveling up before, and now I am required to work "even harder". I can't help but have a feeling of not knowing where to start. What exactly is considered "working harder" to achieve the goal? It really gives me a headache.
Now, players who are about to advance to the sixth level of the profession have entered a "bottleneck period". Killing monsters of the same strength as themselves can no longer gain much seniority points. It is said that other players who have also undertaken this "glorious mission" mostly choose to team up with friends to attack NPCs or players of the light profession, and speed up the progress of leveling by obtaining additional seniority points. However, according to the external situation and my actual situation, Long Xing Tianxia, Bai Yunjian, and A Feng, after careful analysis, think that it would be better for me to stay in the "Dead Soul Space" to level up. Killing NPCs and players of the light profession seems to be a quick profit, but it requires accurate intelligence support and the cooperation of companions. I can't act blindly, which may delay a lot of time. Moreover, the Church of Light has just suffered a big loss, and will definitely step up its defenses and seek opportunities for revenge. The risk of action is relatively high, and it is easy to be ambushed by the other party, which is a bargain for the enemy. Moreover, if the operation fails, I will definitely become a "wanted criminal" due to my popularity, which will be very disadvantageous for my future promotion path - we dark professions, the Undead Wizards and Magic Knights, all need to go to the Western Continent for promotion. Roaming around in the sphere of influence of the Church of Light with a red glow on our heads is very eye-catching and we may be attacked at any time.
Following their advice, I chose a more prudent approach. In the "Dead Soul Space", I am the absolute "boss" among all the undead wizards. I wear the "Supreme Corpse Crown" and the "Dark Demon Robe". I have elite soldiers and generals under my command, and I can use them at will. It will not be too difficult to kill the Terror Knight. Although I have less experience points than the players of the Light profession, it should be easier to find targets to attack. Those players of the Light profession are not stupid. If they see that the situation is not good, they will definitely run faster than rabbits. I used to worry that being too cowardly will affect my evaluation. However, according to the insider report of Long Xingtianxia, the Church of Light issued an "internal document" after the annihilation of more than a thousand players, requiring players of the Light profession to be more vigilant. If the situation is extremely unfavorable and irreversible in the battle with the "Resistance Alliance", they should act decisively and escape if they can. If necessary, they can even choose to "die at the hands of their companions" to avoid letting the opponent gain more experience points. As for the NPCs of the Church of Light, they usually act in groups and are rarely alone. If you don't use enough strength, you can't eat them. In comparison, the Terror Knights are easier to deal with. At least they are not so cunning, and I can only calculate them. They don't appear in groups. At most, when you are unlucky, you may encounter some guys who like to defend the weak and meddle in other people's business.
I try hard, and I try harder. Of the sixteen hours online every day, I spend at least fifteen and a half hours in the "Dead Soul Space" - the other half hour is the time to "send death" after resurrection. The only task is to command a group of subordinates to surround and kill the Terror Knights everywhere, and not to subdue them, and not even give them a chance to sign a "soul contract". Those who defeat them will be killed without mercy. According to Long Xing Tianxia, since subduing will increase the upper limit of mental power a little and reduce the growth of seniority value accordingly, don't waste it. Time is running out. Everything should be based on "surpassing the Supreme Honor" as the highest goal, and strive to replace the Supreme Honor and become the first person in "Tianxia" to advance to the sixth level. This is Long Xing Tianxia's clear understanding of my strength and grasp of my huge potential in many cooperative battles. He wants to give full play to my advantages and strive to shape me into a "representative figure" of the dark profession, an "invincible war fortress" role, and become the "spiritual pillar" of the "Resistance Alliance". With my outstanding performance and excellent results, I inspire everyone to persist in fighting with the powerful Church of Light to the end and win the final victory!
