Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 229 Ambush and Killing
The words of the cardinal confirmed my guess. It turned out that they were targeting me specifically and wanted to stop my "Thousand Miles Alone" action in the Western Continent. I didn't expect that after being promoted to the ninth level of the profession, I would be qualified to provoke such a strong lineup - two level ten NPCs and eight level nine NPCs. They think too highly of me. I guess the Church of Light has long hated me and must get rid of me as soon as possible. According to what Sampras meant, I'm afraid that they were specially assigned to deal with me. With the "fixed-point teleporter", a light artifact, once they determine my specific location, they can teleport to my vicinity in the shortest time, leaving me with few opportunities to "do evil". It seems that it will definitely not be so easy to come to the Western Continent to make "extra money" in the future. I'm afraid that I will not be able to kill people, but in the end I will be reduced to being hunted down. If I had known that I would enjoy such high-level treatment, I should have taken advantage of the fact that I had not yet been promoted to break into the Western Continent and rampage a few more times, leaving a deeper lesson for those light players. Thinking back, I was too kind and did not take advantage of the opportunity when I was in a good position and had fewer restrictions to earn more merits.
Sampras issued a "killing ultimatum" to me. Except for Hanover, the Knight of Light who was also a level 10 professional standing next to him, who stared at me coldly and did not move, the four Paladins of Light in front, the four Cardinals in the back, and the eight Level 9 NPC personal guards behaved very diligently and started to act as soon as they appeared. First, the four Cardinals activated the "Holy Light Barrier" together to protect the ten of them, and then quickly summoned their respective pets - the four Paladins of Light were all Level 9 high-priced Unicorns of Light, and the four Cardinals were all Level 9 high-level Streamer Dragons, which were the standard equipment of the elite Level 9 NPCs of Light, second only to the strongest elite level. They were scattered and guarded around, and the two Paladins of Light rode on Unicorns of Light and flew into the air to protect the upper part, which could effectively resist attacks from any direction. The reaction was very fast, and the defense was also very good, basically leaving no chance for the opponent to attack. Trying their best to ensure the safety of the Level 10 NPCs was the most important responsibility of these NPC personal guards.
After Sampras announced the "Banned Ultimatum", before I could respond, he and Hanover beside him began to make the "Pet Summoning" gesture, summoning their two pets - both level 10 holy magic pets, the cardinal's is a white tiger, and the Knight of Light is a holy dragon of light, and entered the combat state. It seems that they are not going to talk to me any more, and they are going to kill directly. The four Holy Knights of Light and the four cardinals also summoned the angels of possession or advent, all of which are six-winged angels of light. According to the standard configuration of the elite level 9 NPC, they should reach the upper level of level 9. Each level 9 NPC can at least resist three black bone dragons. The overall strength of the eight level 9 followers alone is higher than the twenty-one black bone dragons I have now - not to mention that several of them were injured in the previous battle.
The two level 10 NPCs also summoned their own angels, both of which were eight-winged holy angels. The current red cardinals and holy knights of light are all quotas, only twelve, and naturally they are the strongest top existences. I have already been promoted to the ninth level profession, and their strength does not need to be restricted anymore. Basically, they have been released. The level of the holy angel must be the upper level of level 10, and the white tiger and the holy dragon of light are probably about the same level. Moreover, every level 10 NPC has at least one artifact. The red cardinal Sampras has an auxiliary "fixed-point teleporter", and I don't know what Hanover's is. But the artifacts of the knight profession are generally directly helpful in combat, and they are definitely more difficult to deal with. I am just one person, who has just been promoted to the ninth level profession. I haven't been able to gather a set of high-level holy equipment, and I don't have enough time to prepare in advance. How can I be such a fierce opponent? Their strength is far above mine. If we go to war head-on, it's almost like sending ourselves to death. Not only will we not be able to take advantage of anything, but we will also let the other party earn a lot of merit points for nothing.
I held on to the end, watching the ten NPCs of light prepare for battle and not fleeing in advance. I had no intention of challenging them, but just wanted to see with my own eyes what specific changes their standard configurations had after I was promoted to the ninth-level profession, and what level of strength they had reached. I had been trying my best to activate the "Touch of Death" to replenish my mental power, not to summon more undead minions to fight the opponent, but to prepare for the subsequent escape. Although I seemed calm on the surface, I had actually made a preliminary plan for my escape, and would never give the NPCs of light a chance to kill me.
The NPCs of light began to attack, rushing over from land and air. The Knight of Light Hanover took the lead, flying in the air with a Paladin of Light and an Angel of Light, and aggressively attacked in a straight line. The other three Paladins of Light each arranged an Angel of Light to accompany them, and they double-teamed me from the side. On the ground, Cardinal Sampras led four Cardinals to advance steadily, and with the eight-winged Holy Angel, the Holy Magic Pet White Tiger, and four Streamer Dragons guarding around, they were not afraid of my splitting up to attack and harass. Seeing that the enemy had already rushed over, I dared not stay any longer. I took back the "Touch of Death" and rode Tao Tao on the ground at full speed. At the same time, I arranged more than ten black bone dragons to disperse and guard the rear. I did not seek to intercept them head-on, but tried to find opportunities to harass them, slow down the opponent's pursuit speed, and buy me more time to escape.
I dare not harass Hanover. A ninth-level upper-level black bone dragon will The main thing is to contain the three Paladins of Light who are coming around. They are riding the Light Unicorns and their flying speed is faster than Tao Tao. I don't want to be surrounded by them too early, forcing me to use the last means of escape. At the same time, pay attention to wandering around Sampras and others a few times, so that they have to be vigilant, which will also slow down their progress. According to the "Banned Ultimatum", the Church of Light can only hunt me down in the Western Continent and cannot cross the border. As long as I escape from the Western Continent, I will basically be safe. Alas, I originally wanted to go deep into the enemy territory and have the opportunity to kill a few more Light players, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I would provoke the pursuit of the tenth-level Light NPC. It is also so laborious to escape. It will take at least a few hours to reach the "Gate of Time and Space". Unfortunately, "Tianxia" does not allow players to commit suicide, and subordinates who have signed a contract cannot kill their masters. I am in the Western Continent, and I can't find anyone to help me get rid of it. Moreover, according to the new rules, I cannot log off normally when there are pets or other summons. I have summoned so many black bone dragons, and there is definitely no time to send them back to the "Dead Space" one by one. If I don't want to die at the hands of the Church of Light, I can only escape desperately.
Taotao couldn't outrun the Holy Dragon of Light and the Unicorn of Light, and was killed. I could only transform into a bat and try my best to escape. Relying on the "external incarnation", I managed to survive for a while, but I saw that my health was running low and I couldn't stand the consumption anymore. So I summoned Xiaobai to possess me and used "instant teleportation" continuously to escape the pursuit of the NPC of Light and rushed to the area where the "Gate of Space and Time" was located. This is quite physically demanding. If I use it too early, I will definitely not be able to escape from the Western Continent with my physical strength. Hanover also used his artifact, the real "Cupid's Arrow", which caused me a lot of trouble along the way, so that Taotao and the "Blood Bat Transformation" could not last longer, and I had to use the "Demon Possession" earlier than expected.
Fortunately, I have been to the Western Continent many times, and I am familiar with the basic escape route. I can judge the situation more accurately, and I choose the correct teleportation point every time. I can escape the attack of the Light NPC and get close to the "Gate of Time and Space" without wasting any physical strength. In addition, my second profession is a thief, and my physical strength is slightly higher than that of other magicians. With the help of drugs that speed up the recovery of physical strength, I finally mustered up the remaining strength and barely rushed into the "Gate of Time and Space". Fortunately, the area near the "Gate of Time and Space" on each continent is a "safe zone", where no fighting can take place, and you cannot stay for too long, lest some forces block the "Gate of Time and Space", causing inconvenience to other players' free activities, otherwise I may not be able to return to the Eastern Continent alive.
It was so embarrassing. Taotao, Shaman, Rossberg and twenty-one black bone dragons were all killed. I was almost unable to resist with my limited strength, and was forced to flee. Those light players who usually wanted to log off and escape when they saw me actually took advantage of my misfortune. When they saw two level 10 NPCs with eight level 9 NPCs chasing me, they also had the courage to make trouble for me, or intercept or chase me, which made my situation even worse. Finally, they found an opportunity to ridicule me. They cursed all the way and fully vented their suppressed resentment. If I hadn't used "instant teleportation" to escape quickly, I would have been able to gather a large group of onlookers. It was precisely because of their existence that I was more determined to try my best to escape from the Western Continent and find an opportunity to log off in the Western Continent to get rid of the pursuit. People have to fight for their dignity, and they must fight for a little face.
I walked slowly, taking the opportunity to recover some of my physical strength. I couldn't stay in the "safe zone" for too long, but I didn't want to log off to escape. In order to avoid the pursuit of the light players, I found a monster and died as soon as I left the "safe zone". Lying in the "dead space", I didn't want to do anything for a while. It was shameful. Maybe I was too powerful before, used to the feeling of going smoothly, and suddenly suffered such a heavy blow. I was chased by those light NPCs and players like a stray dog. My heart was immediately filled with embarrassment and resentment. Carrying the title of "the best player in the world", I am no longer the rookie who was used to swallowing my anger and letting others manipulate me when I first started playing "Tianxia". I can't just let it go after suffering such a big loss, otherwise how can I raise my head in "Tianxia"? Not only me, but also the reputation of the resistance alliance will be affected to a certain extent, which can only show the powerful strength of the Church of Light and weaken our morale. Humph, it’s not that easy to completely ban me and cut off my hope of causing destruction in the Western Continent.
In the next two days, I repeatedly invaded the Western Continent to test the reaction of the Church of Light. For the sake of safety, I did not go too deep, and generally stayed in the area near the "Gate of Time and Space". However, the Church of Light seemed to be determined to completely ban me. As long as I was discovered by the Light players and reported my specific location, the Light NPCs chasing me would appear near me in a moment. They were still led by Cardinal Sampras and Light Knight Hanover, each leading four elite level nine NPCs, who entangled me like wronged ghosts and would not stop until they killed me or drove me out of the Western Continent. Those Light players were also notified. The first thing they did after discovering my whereabouts was to report the news to the headquarters, leaving me with little time to chase those Light players. It was basically difficult to achieve much success. Not long after, I had to face the ten Light NPCs that were teleported over. I was still powerless to resist and could only escape quickly. It seems that the "Thousand Miles Alone" operation has come to an end and can no longer continue. Facing the timely pursuit launched by Sampras and others, it is just a meaningless waste of time and it is impossible to gain much benefit.
After many attempts, almost all of them ended in vain. I have to admit that the glory days are gone. The level 10 NPC of light, who has almost fully exerted his strength and possessed a divine weapon, is too powerful. I am not capable of competing with him now. Although the Church of Light dispatched two level 10 NPCs to achieve the effect of blocking me, giving the resistance alliance a reason to fight back and not being too passive, I am unwilling to end up in such a dismal and humiliating way. Summarizing the experience of being hunted down and fleeing many times in the past two days, I gradually came up with a plan, which may be able to take the opportunity to strike a blow to the arrogance of the Church of Light, so that they dare not treat me as nothing and hunt me down so recklessly every time.
Every time I was teleported to chase and kill me, there were always two level 10 NPCs and eight level 9 NPCs. I was naturally powerless to fight them alone, but if I found more helpers and gathered the top masters of the resistance alliance such as Long Xing Tian Xia, Desert Eagle, and A Feng to siege them, I'm afraid they would be unable to resist. As long as the design is clever and the activation of Sampras's artifact "Fixed Point Teleporter" is limited as much as possible, even if the two level 10 NPCs may not be put to death, at least a few elite level 9 NPCs should be able to be killed. For Long Xing Tian Xia, who is still level 8, it is definitely a big gain, and this is an ambush, I can move and lure the target over at any time, it won't take much time.
After discussing with Afeng and Xue Wuxia, I first told Long Xing Tianxia about this idea. "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" has become an effective means for the resistance alliance to attack the Church of Light. Every time it is mentioned, the light players will lose face and feel embarrassed. He was reluctant to give up. Not only can he help me, but he also has a chance to kill the level 9 light NPC. He also thought the plan was feasible. Then, a meeting of all dark directors was held in the "Mind Castle" to discuss this plan. On the premise that I promised to try my best to contain the level 10 NPC and facilitate their actions to kill the level 9 NPC, they unanimously passed the proposal to sneak into the Western Continent to ambush and kill the light NPC who was chasing me. However, in order to increase the chances of success of the ambush, I still need to continue to invade the Western Continent, expose my tracks in different places, and observe the NPC's habits of chasing me to help formulate a more reasonable action plan. Moreover, I need to return to the "Hell Volcano" on February 15th to join forces with Had to carry out the "Underworld Dragon Challenge". This is also a tough battle. I must make necessary arrangements before that and have a good rest to maintain sufficient physical strength. Therefore, the implementation of the ambush was postponed for a few days. The specific personnel involved in the action were determined first, and they were prepared and ready to attack at any time.
Wuji and another level 9 upper-level Undead Ghost Phoenix, who were seriously injured and demoted several levels in the battle to kill Pirlo, have recovered their original levels after a dozen days of recuperation. Other capable subordinates such as Letediwa, Wu Ma, and Hufu are also in good condition. Unfortunately, there are still too few level 10 lower-level undead spirits that I have subdued, otherwise the strength that can be exerted should be stronger. I continue to try to invade the Western Continent, and every time I am discovered, I will be hunted down by ten bright NPCs led by Sampras and Hanover. I estimate that if the situation is stable, there should be no other changes.
After returning to the "Hell Volcano", I made arrangements in advance. On February 15, I teamed up with Hades to launch the "Underworld Dragon Challenge". The one who fought was still a lower-level tenth-level Hell Underworld Dragon. As an eighth-level fire giant mage, Hades moved slowly. Before, my own attack ability was too weak, and I could only use the "sacrifice" magic to let other undead subordinates share 80% of the damage it suffered. It was basically impossible to survive six hours under the attack of the tenth-level lower-level Hell Underworld Dragon. However, now I have mastered the "puppetry" magic. Although it is only elementary and the proficiency has only reached one star, it can play the greatest effect on undead creatures. Even if the Hell Underworld Dragon that fought belongs to the bone dragon family and has a strong mental resistance, after all, it is an ordinary member and has no owner, so it will probably have a certain effect. We have been unable to find a level 10 undead to test the effectiveness of "puppetry", so this time we will just treat it as a real combat exercise. Anyway, we can't kill the Hell Feast Dragon, and Had's life should not be in danger. For the sake of its future, we should be brave enough to take the necessary risks.
