Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 256: The Beginning of Counterattack
As soon as the joint opinion of more than 20 undead wizards was announced, it immediately set off an uproar. Most of the remaining undead wizards have already invested a lot of money and are committed to cultivating fully mature ghost demon kings and striving to successfully transform into "demon spirits" . Once they lose the qualification to enter the "Yinfeng Valley", they will no longer be able to help their ghost demon kings defeat and devour other ghost royal families, and it will be impossible for them to grow further, which is equivalent to ruining their future in this regard. For a while, the crowd was surging, and they protested one after another, refusing to give up the opportunity to obtain the "teleportation" ability. They thought that our behavior was only concerned about their own interests and not willing to consider theirs at all. Most of them expressed strong dissatisfaction. In particular, Tianxing, who sold out the interests of the "Yinfeng Valley" wantonly, probably had promised after-sales service guarantees at the time of the transaction, and was criticized the most - without the supply of "raw materials", the efforts of other undead wizards before were basically wasted, and they couldn't help but be angry. As a result, Qiu Shui Chang Tian, who was standing on the same front with him, was also very passive. He was also implicated by the criticism and had to come forward to "clean up" for his partners, trying his best to defend and try to eliminate the dissatisfaction of those people. The situation of Qing Wu Fei Yang and Ye You was only slightly better. Facing those dependents whose interests were damaged, whose hopes of possessing the ability of "teleportation" were shattered, and whose emotions were extremely excited, they also suffered a lot of pressure. They had to be kind and patient to explain to everyone, which was really difficult for them. Fortunately, I was alone and had no connection with these undead wizards. Their losses could not be blamed on me. Except for some familiar undead wizards from Tong Xin Meng, Long Teng, etc. who came forward to complain, I did not suffer much direct blame. I quietly stepped back a few steps, gave up the "advantageous position", and hid in an inconspicuous place to watch the fun.
Justice always stands on the side of the strong. Without the support of our main fighting force, the "war faction" has no strength to challenge Yebulato. It will only bring disaster to themselves. They may quarrel a lot verbally, but it is impossible to put it into action. After the initial venting of anger, each of them seemed to lack confidence and their momentum was much weaker. Qiu Shui Changtian and others who had been patiently persuading them gradually took the initiative. First, we fully explained the reasons for making such a helpless choice, expressed our apology, appeased the dissatisfaction of these undead wizards, emphasized the "interest compensation" plan, and promised to make up for their losses in other aspects. Seeing that the overall situation has been determined, it is difficult for us to change our choice. More and more undead wizards with different opinions have changed their positions and have to adapt to the situation and accept our resolution. The rest is to strike while the iron is hot and bargain with Qiu Shui Changtian and other leaders of various forces on the time and specific content of the interest compensation in order to obtain better treatment arrangements. After another round of noise and argument, we finally reached a consensus and agreed to pass our proposal. We decided to accept the second plan proposed by Yebulado - at the cost of prohibiting us, the undead wizards, from setting foot in the "Valley of the Shadows" in the future, in order to protect the rights of our "demon spirits" and the ghost demon king to survive and develop normally.
At the agreed time to respond five days later, we gathered at the entrance of the "Yinfeng Valley" again, and Yebulato appeared in front of us in the same way. More than a dozen of our strongest undead wizards stood up together, and Tianxing, who had betrayed the "Yinfeng Valley" the most and was responsible for the interference of the deputy chief judge, took the lead and spoke on our behalf to make a choice, temporarily eliminating the disaster. For the undead wizards who invade the "Yinfeng Valley" in the future, it is a private act and will not be related to other undead wizards who have conquered "ghost spirits", ghost demon kings and ghost royal families. Only these violators will be punished. Yebulato still behaved very cunningly, talking about business, and on the pretext that it was inconvenient to talk about gossip during work, he did not give us the opportunity to change the topic. Once the problem was solved, he immediately slipped away and refused to stay for a moment, so that we could not take the opportunity to find out what specific abilities it had, and we could not estimate how strong it would take to defeat it.
After resolving the trouble of "The Valley of the Wind", the "Dead Space" temporarily returned to peace. This incident actually sounded a warning to us undead wizards - development must be orderly, and exhausting all resources is likely to bring disaster. At the same time, the crisis from another major undead race has become more and more prominent, and it also contains huge interests. There are also many top undead wizards who have or intend to get involved, which has posed a serious threat to the survival and development of their entire race, especially the royal family. Perhaps it may trigger a potential crisis at any time, provoking the intervention of the "law enforcers".
Blood Clan, a race of undead that brings more temptation to undead wizards than the Devouring Ghost Clan, in addition to the system giving their royal family special equipment, such as "Blood Emperor Robe" and "Blood Emperor Robe", etc., as long as they are replaced, they can be equipped on the undead wizards themselves, increasing the upper limit of mental power several times in the "Dead Space". The emperor of the Blood Bat Clan can also give the undead wizards the ability of "Blood Bat Transformation" through "First Embrace". The "Blood Transformation" ability given by the Blood Lich also makes those undead wizards who know only a little and are not completely familiar with the inside story very covetous of the emperor of the Blood Witch Clan. They belong to a special group of middle-level undead races that can bring great benefits to undead wizards. As the strength of undead wizards increases, it is naturally easier to deal with blood clans. There is no need to gather too many undead wizards, and there is no need for the top undead wizards such as Qiu Shui Chang Tian to come forward to preside over the overall situation. The top undead wizards of the general level can break through and destroy the territory of an ordinary blood clan. Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing, Qing Wu Fei Yang and other leaders who have benefited from the blood clan cannot stop it openly, and gradually lose the effective restraint on the dependents in this regard. As long as the blood clan territory is discovered, it will attract the attention of countless greedy eyes. Once enough strength is gathered through negotiation and the relevant profit distribution plan is agreed upon, they will take offensive actions to completely capture the blood clan territory and divide up all the benefits. Those blood clan royals are either directly replaced by a certain undead wizard and obtain its special royal equipment, or replaced by the subordinates of the same clan who have been conquered, using its attached "first embrace" ability , which brings more and more threats to the blood clan, and it is very likely that they are getting closer and closer to the bottom line of "law enforcers" intervening.
So far, in Tianxia, besides me, the "Blood Emperor", Qingwu Feiyang, Qiushui Changtian, Tianxing, Yeyou and Zhenming Tianzi also have the blood royal equipment that increases the upper limit of spiritual power. At the same time, three blood bat royals have been replaced and become the subordinates of the undead wizards. They are squeezed to constantly perform "first embrace" for the undead wizards and give them the ability of "blood bat transformation". In addition, the blood lich Temur, who has fallen into my control and has almost no freedom, is also controlled by me. The holy land of the blood witch clan, "Blood Pool", is also controlled by me. Even the bat demon Dika is restrained by me to a certain extent and has the ability to affect the holy land of the blood bat clan, "Blood Pool". The entire blood clan has been torn apart by the massive invasion of our undead wizards, and I am afraid that it has seriously threatened their survival and development environment. Especially after the deputy chief judge Yebuladuo intervened in the affairs of the "Valley of the Wind", and finally forced all of our undead wizards to withdraw and not set foot in the valley again, which damaged the interests of many undead wizards, many undead wizards learned from this experience and believed that the quicker the hand, the better, and that they would strike first. Hearing that the development of the blood clan would also likely lead to the interference of the "law enforcers", they not only did not restrain themselves, but instead intensified their aggression against the blood clan. Several blood clan territories that had been discovered but had not yet taken any attack actions because the main "shareholders" had not properly discussed the issue of interest distribution were immediately They all solved the issue of interest distribution as quickly as possible and began to mobilize the undead army to prepare for the attack. They intended to seize the relevant interests before the blood clan's "law enforcers" intervened, creating a fait accompli, so as to avoid any unfavorable resolutions being made at that time, which would make their hopes come to nothing. They only cared about their own interests and thought that everyone would shoulder the burden together, without considering the possible consequences. This further deteriorated the already critical situation of the vampires, and increased the possibility of the vampire "law enforcers" coming forward to carry out "heavenly punishment". Unfortunately, greed played a role. Faced with the huge temptation of benefits, few people could stay awake enough to worry about the potential disasters that had not yet occurred. I was also powerless and could only let them do whatever they wanted. I hoped that I could have more time to strengthen my strength as much as possible and try to accumulate more capital to deal with the crisis that could occur at any time.
With the gradual end of a series of activities such as the fourth anniversary celebration of Tianxia, which was postponed to January 1, the players in the human world have returned to peace. Those who need to upgrade are trying their best to earn qualification points, and those who don’t have pets are trying to capture a suitable level 10 pet as soon as possible, and start normal development. As the most important main task throughout Tianxia and representing the end of a stage, the long-dormant battle between the two camps of darkness and light cannot just rest like this. As the top players of both sides have successively advanced to the ninth level of their professions and captured suitable level 10 pets, their strength has been further enhanced. A new round of confrontation plans has been put on the agenda, and they are ready to start planning and organizing a massive action again to launch a larger-scale attack on the enemy. Especially now that we have entered the late stage of the game, players have been promoted to the ninth level of the profession. Only more than 200 of the strongest players in the 19 professions have the opportunity to be promoted to the top tenth level profession. All other players can only learn some powerful professional skills or improve some basic attribute values by completing some specific professional tasks. There is not much room for further development and they can devote more energy to fighting against the enemy camp. Moreover, according to the rules, once a sufficient number of players in the two major camps of light and darkness have been promoted to the tenth level of the profession, the countdown to the ultimate battle between light and darkness will begin. Within the specified time limit, we, the resistance alliance representing the dark camp, must meet the relevant decisive battle conditions and have the qualifications to challenge the Church of Light, otherwise we will be judged as a failure, and there is not much time for us to delay indefinitely. Therefore, as the resistance alliance on the disadvantaged side, we must start organizing large-scale resistance actions in advance to gradually weaken the influence of the Church of Light until we finally overthrow their dominance in the east, south and north continents, and meet the most important condition for the ultimate battle between light and darkness.
At the suggestion of the speaker, Long Xingtianxia, a plenary meeting of the Dark Council was held in the "Mind Castle". The main topic was to discuss and decide the direction of the next phase of the development of the resistance alliance. It was no longer intended to be a small fight like before, to find a suitable opportunity to attack and take a small advantage of the Church of Light, but to carry out a systematic task, to launch a series of attacks on the Church of Light, and gradually start and strengthen direct confrontation, in order to further strike the power of the Church of Light, expand the influence of the resistance alliance, and strive to achieve the relevant conditions stipulated by the system for the ultimate battle between light and darkness.
The primary task facing our resistance alliance is to completely destroy the Cathedral of Light in the 36 main cities in the east, south and north continents. Previously, through the "peaceful seizure of power" operation, we have completely controlled five main cities and cleared the light forces in the cities. There are still 31 targets left to attack and destroy. As players advance to the ninth level of the profession, the defense force inside the Cathedral of Light has been greatly enhanced. In addition, the monitoring and rapid reinforcement capabilities have been strengthened. Even if the top players of the resistance alliance who have advanced to the ninth level of the profession and have tenth-level magic pets are besieged, it is not easy to forcibly capture and destroy the Cathedral of Light.
The NPCs of Light are still responsible for guarding the Cathedral of Light. The tenth-level professional cardinals and knights of light are respected, and there are only twelve of them, so they will not be dispersed in these halls of light. The nine-level professional elite-level cardinals and paladins of light preside over the Cathedral of Light. Except that their basic personal abilities are not as good as those of the tenth-level NPCs, and they do not have a divine weapon given by the system, they are not inferior in other aspects - the same standard equipment, the same professional skills, and they have pets of mid-level or even high-level tenth-level, and can summon eight-winged holy angels of mid-level or even high-level tenth-level. In addition, there are elite-level cardinals and paladins of light. Their basic abilities are similar to those of the elite level, but the pets they have are only low-level tenth-level, and the strongest they can summon is only a low-level tenth-level eight-winged holy angel. Elite-level and elite-level NPCs of light are the main fighting force stationed in the cathedral. There are also some ordinary cardinals and paladins of light who are responsible for the most basic defensive . Their personal abilities are even weaker. They have upper-level ninth-level magical pets, and they can only summon upper-level ninth-level six-winged Seraphim, which does not pose much threat to us top masters.
Each Cathedral of Light houses twelve elite-level, sixty elite-level, and thirty-six ordinary-level cardinals and paladins of light, a total of one hundred and eight. Although the number of NPCs of light stationed there has decreased slightly compared to before, the construction of infrastructure has been strengthened, and their auxiliary defense capabilities have been enhanced. For example, the "holy disk" hanging high on the top of the Cathedral of Light is only vulnerable to attack and damage because it can reduce the upper limit of the mental power of dark professional players by death. It has been added with the ability to continuously emit the "light of life" and speed up the recovery of the health, physical and mental power of the NPCs of light and players. It requires more attackers to completely destroy it. The twelve-winged golden angel statue, which is the core of the Cathedral of Light, can release a hazy white light after being activated, covering the entire cathedral, increasing the attack power, defense and agility of the NPCs of light and players, as well as the effect of the light skills they use. At the same time, each church is equipped with a small internal one-way teleportation array. The three continents have chosen a cathedral of light in a main city as the location of the continental branch. The number of NPCs stationed there has doubled, so that when a church under their jurisdiction is attacked, they can rush over through the one-way teleportation array for emergency and rapid support. However, they can only be teleported by the branch, and they can only walk to return, and the transmission speed is not fast. Due to the limitations of time and quantity, it is impossible for too many reinforcements of light to emerge at once. In addition, the Church of Light is allowed to hire a certain number of neutral NPCs in cities with cathedrals of light to serve as peripheral defense tasks. Once the church is attacked, they will be dispatched urgently to attack the enemies outside , and they can even be hired urgently after the battle breaks out - of course, they need to pay a higher price than usual to counter the human wave tactics that the resistance alliance may adopt, and indirectly compete with us for the financial resources they control. A series of measures have further increased the difficulty of capturing the Cathedral of Light. Up to now, the Church of Light is no longer subject to any restrictions, and it has tried its best to maintain its dominance within the scope allowed by the rules.
Another uncertain factor is the Neutral Alliance. They also took control of the seven main cities of the three continents through "peaceful seizure of power". However, they signed an agreement with the Church of Light, and the Church of Light gave up the attempt to control these main cities. The Neutral Alliance also allowed the Cathedral of Light in the city to operate normally, without affecting their rights and interests. The two sides did not interfere with each other and coexisted peacefully. According to the requirements of the mission, our resistance alliance must completely destroy all the Cathedrals of Light in the three continents. We have to face the Neutral Alliance that controls the sovereignty of the city first. Their attitude will have a direct and significant impact on the development of the situation.
