Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 93: Raid on the East (1)
The attack on the Church of Light had been done before when it was still a fifth-level profession. Invading the enemy's home field, with a high-level NPC of the Light profession in charge, even with the elite of the dark profession in the Eastern Continent at that time, the process was quite difficult and did not achieve a very ideal result. Although it has been promoted to the sixth-level profession now, with more powerful sixth-level or even seventh-level monsters as pets, the strength of the NPC of the Light profession has also risen, far from what it used to be.
After the appearance of the level 6 professional players, the Cathedral of Light in the major cities was re-set and the personnel configuration was adjusted to strengthen the security of the church. Each church has an eight-level professional Light Phantom Knight and a silver-robed bishop presiding over it, with twelve level 7 professional Light Knights and six white-robed bishops under its jurisdiction, as well as one hundred and eight level 6 professional Light Knights and sixty-four archbishops. Moreover, it is not just a simple increase in the level of NPCs and the increase in the number of people. More importantly, their individual strength has also been significantly enhanced. The most obvious manifestation is pets. Even the Light Horses ridden by ordinary Light Knights and the Light Tigers summoned by the Archbishops have the average strength of level 6 monsters. The pets summoned by NPCs of higher levels such as level 7 and level 8 are even more powerful, and they may even have special powerful pets. In addition, the "unbanning" of some powerful skills has long exceeded my previous cognition. There is no need to expect to repeat the classic record of annihilating two level 8 professional and twelve level 5 professional Light NPCs by myself when I completed the level 6 professional promotion task.
Another change is the "mutual assistance" setting between the twelve Cathedrals of Light on the same continent. Once in danger, NPCs of the Light profession can quickly reinforce the interior through the small teleportation arrays set up between the churches, further increasing the difficulty of attacking the churches. However, the small teleportation array only allows one NPC to pass through at a time. Opening and maintaining its operation requires the energy of the twelve-winged golden angel statue, which is the core of the Cathedral of Light. If the energy index is less than 50%, it will automatically shut down. In addition, unless special permission is obtained, only level 6 or 7 professional NPCs can be sent for support. The reinforcement behavior is subject to a certain degree of restriction.
Of course, our "Resistance Alliance" is no longer what it used to be. With the joining of many excellent neutral professional players, our strength has been further enhanced. Although the NPCs of the Light profession are of a higher level, their equipment may not be as good as our players. As long as they are deployed properly, even if they are divided into three places, they may still be able to conquer the Cathedral of Light. As for the difficulties that may be encountered in the operation, in addition to the power of the Cathedral itself, the main ones are the players of the Light profession from the Western Continent. If they gather together to participate in the battle of any continent, it is enough to change the balance of power there, and may even reverse the situation. The reason why Long Xing Tianxia plans to launch the "Tiger's Mouth Extraction" operation in three continents at the same time is that he is worried that the players of the Light profession in the Western Continent, such as Supreme Honor, will see through the truth and ruin the good thing. And those players from this continent who choose to switch to the Light profession are more outstanding, but they have only reached the fifth level of the profession. At present, they do not pose much threat to us, so there is no need to worry.
The plan was decided, and everyone went their separate ways. The three giants each took charge of one side, and Long Xing Tianxia was naturally responsible for the Eastern Continent. The target chosen was the Eastern Cathedral in Beijing City, which had been attacked before. The "Resistance Alliance" has always been committed to developing its power and expanding its influence in Beijing City. It has a good "mass base". As long as the Eastern Cathedral is completely destroyed and the influence of the Church of Light in Beijing City is disintegrated, there may be hope to establish the first "base" of the "Resistance Alliance" in Tianxia here. Another candidate with the same influence is the Sun Cathedral in Tokyo City, which is the power center of the Church of Light in the Eastern Continent, and it is also the place where the activities of the Light Forces are most rampant and the Light Professional players are most concentrated. In addition, high-level NPCs sent from the Temple of Light come in and out from time to time, making it relatively difficult to attack. Considering that this is the first time that the Light NPCs have publicly engaged in a large-scale conflict with them since their strength has been improved, it is of great significance and cannot be lost. Therefore, it is easier to find a weaker target first to test the enemy's strength.
To attack the church, we must first deal with two targets. One is the silver "holy disk" hanging on the top of the hall. Once activated, it will kill people under the golden light with the effect . It can completely destroy the soul of the dark professional player or reduce the upper limit of the mental power by 3-5%, which is the greatest threat. The other is the twelve-winged golden angel statue placed in the center of the deep hall. It is a symbol of the existence of the Cathedral of Light and a source of energy. It can be borrowed by the NPC of the light profession to enhance the power of skills. More importantly, it maintains the operation of the small teleportation array and is the channel for reinforcements to rush over. We must concentrate our efforts to consume its energy index to below 50% as soon as possible to block the reinforcements from other churches. As long as the "holy disk" and the small teleportation array are still in effect, we will not have a chance of winning.
The church's internal area is limited, and it is impossible to accommodate too many people to participate in the battle. Moreover, if the battle is delayed for too long, once the Temple of Light receives the message and passes the necessary approval procedures, the eighth-level professional NPCs in charge of other churches can lead their men to come to support through the teleportation array between cities, and at the same time mobilize and dispatch other reinforcements, and the situation will become increasingly unfavorable. The best way is to concentrate elite troops to launch a surprise attack, catch the enemy off guard, strive for a quick victory, and end the battle in the shortest possible time.
Dragon Walks the World has assembled the best 100 players from the Eastern Continent of the "Resistance Alliance", including the professional necromancers I, Qiu Shui Chang Tian, and Ghost Husband, and the professional magic knights Long Kong, Border Town Wanderer, Blood Battle Eight Directions, and River Island, as well as the berserker Ganges War God, the thunder magician Bai Yunjian, and the knight A Feng, ten members of the Alliance Council, all of whom have level 7 or powerful level 6 magic pets, responsible for the main attack on the Eastern Cathedral. In addition, more than 5,000 alliance members were mobilized to form hundreds of small teams and dispersed to various cities. On the one hand, they can confuse the enemy and make them unclear about our true intentions. On the other hand, when the battle starts, they can also launch feints against the churches in the city, create riots, and contain the reinforcements of the NPCs and players of the light profession.
In order to avoid the news leaking out, after a day of emergency preparation, at 3 a.m. on November 27, the "Pulling Teeth from the Tiger's Mouth" operation was launched simultaneously on three continents. Our one hundred players dispersed to the vicinity of the Oriental Cathedral, and then assembled according to the ten pre-organized combat teams. When the time came, we immediately launched a raid.
