Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 286 Flower-folding Method
Without understanding the mystery of the "Soul-burning Wand", lacking similar powerful attack skills, and without the help and guidance of a wise necromancer player like me, no matter how hard the opponent struggled, it would only prolong the time of defeat. As the Great Pharaoh, who ranked only third in strength among Jefferson's dependents, it did not have the ability to turn the tide of the battle, and it was difficult to completely avoid Khufu's "Soul-burning Wand" by dodging alone. Regardless of being hit in the body or using weapons to block and parry, as long as there was substantial contact with Khufu's Fire Bone Wand, it would transmit an energy that destroyed its soul, which was impossible to prevent and resist. Such an attack method could be said to be extremely vicious, and it was not something that the opponent's strength as a dependent could contend with. It still could not escape Khufu's tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries. After a fierce battle, the opponent tried his best to dodge, which actually lasted for nearly thirty hours, and almost exhausted my energy. Only then did Khufu completely destroy the opponent, scatter its soul, and win the final victory. Fortunately, the "Burning Soul Wand" is a skill that hurts others while hurting oneself - only when hitting the opponent will it transmit a poisonous energy generated by burning one's own soul. It will not continuously consume one's own soul energy once it is used. Otherwise, under the opponent's desperate dodge, it would be difficult to hold on for too long and would have been dragged down by the opponent. The "Burning Soul Wand" is indeed a special skill that only outstanding pharaohs are qualified and capable of comprehending. It ignores the opponent's defense ability and directly hurts their souls. With the high defense effect given to them by the pharaoh's special equipment "Pyramid", it can completely challenge stronger opponents of higher levels. It has a very strong practicality and is similar to the "Undead Disintegration Method" that Tanbiqi once used.
I won the challenge of the Great Pharaoh again and gained one more follower. Together with the Great Pharaoh Etori who was directly conquered by me, Khufu now has four followers, becoming the most powerful Great , and taking another step forward on the road to becoming the Pharaoh. Jefferson, who was originally in great glory, had seven Great Pharaoh followers and was the most likely to be crowned as the Pharaoh. First, Khufu replaced Osafinla, then Etori usurped the throne of Geruda, and then Tuhara and other three Great Pharaohs were forcibly subdued by Khufu through force through the challenge, and had to submit and rely on him. Now there are only two poor Great Pharaoh followers following him, and his power is no longer as strong as before. He is about to fall into the same precarious position as the other two Great Pharaoh followers, Kurt Harper and Villeneuve, who only have one Great Pharaoh follower. Moreover, as the object I have been committed to suppressing, it is the first to bear the brunt of its situation, which is even more dangerous, and it is already in a precarious situation. As the new pattern of the Great Pharaoh with Khufu as the core gradually takes shape, the most powerful force in the old pattern is likely to become the first target of destruction. The situation has taken such a sharp turn for the worse that Jefferson, the once invincible giant closest to the Pharaoh, has been forced to the point of being almost at the end of his rope and having little way out. I'm afraid he could never have imagined it before.
However, with the rapid rise of Khufu, he has become the strongest force, posing an increasing threat to other great pharaohs. Perhaps it is more likely to force Jefferson, Kurt Harper, and Villeneuve to put aside their past grudges, cooperate, and truly join hands to fight the enemy. After all, they originally had a deep prejudice against Khufu, the fire-attributed great pharaoh, and the new great pharaoh who was backed by me, the undead wizard, and were extremely vigilant. They even decided to restrict Khufu's freedom from the beginning, trying to suppress its growth and kill the threat it might pose. If there were no irreconcilable contradictions between the three giants, the difference in strength was quite large, and the suspicion was very strong, no one would be willing to bite the hard bone of Khufu first, worried that it would be easy to indigest and cause trouble to themselves, and there would be no way to cooperate sincerely. I believe that Khufu would never get such a good development opportunity. He should have been solved as early as that challenge and subdued the great pharaoh Tuhara - based on the strength of Khufu and me at that time. If I faced the three giants like Jefferson who had comprehended the "Burning Soul Wand", it would be difficult to escape the conspiracy that eroded my soul without knowing the details, and I would most likely be defeated. Fortunately, I acted cautiously and did not underestimate my opponent. I lowered my posture and chose to endure temporarily. Otherwise, I would have continued to take aggressive offensives and further stimulated Jefferson. At that time, Khufu had not comprehended the skill of "Burning Soul Wand" and lacked effective deterrent means. I am afraid that it would not be too cautious and hesitant, and might have lost the challenge and become a dependent of Jefferson, with no chance to compete for the position of Pharaoh. It really makes me feel scared just thinking about it.
Now Kurt Harper and Villeneuve should also be worried and timid about Khufu, who has become the biggest threat. Once Jefferson is defeated, they will lack security and will have to face Khufu's challenge. Unless they are willing to give up the plot to compete for the throne of Pharaoh and are willing to submit to Khufu, it seems that their only choice is to join hands with Jefferson to get rid of Khufu. Will they reach a cooperation agreement soon and let Jefferson take the initiative to challenge Khufu, or will they have a fluke mentality and not want to lose both sides and want to wait for a while to see what Khufu will do next? I can't make an accurate prediction, but if I don't wait for destruction in silence, I can only choose to explode in silence. I believe that the storm will always come, even if it's not this time, it should be the next time at the latest. What I can do is to try to be more fully prepared, meet its challenge without fear and full of confidence, and defeat every enemy who dares to obstruct and resist - I will never give them the opportunity to defeat Khufu easily with the "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal". I am waiting, waiting for the arduous challenge that may come at any time and determine my future and destiny.
Although I defeated my opponent and won the final victory, the strength of the challenge target, the Great Pharaoh, was a little stronger this time. Khufu's body inevitably suffered more wounds from the stick, and the "Soul Burning Wand" also hit it more times. The consumption of its own soul energy increased further, and its injuries were more serious than the last time. Unless I am willing to use the "Soul of the Dead" to treat it for a longer time, or simply let it swallow the next "Millennium Fire Lotus". Otherwise, it will take more time to recover and participate in the challenge. Whether it is to take the initiative to challenge again or accept Jefferson's initiative, it will probably take about 20 days. In order to achieve the goal of helping Khufu become the Pharaoh before the new "World Heroes Conference" is held on August 1st. I can't let it delay so much time because of the healing. I have to guard it for three more days, and continuously use the "Soul of the Dead" to treat it, speed up the recovery of the injury, especially the damaged soul energy, hoping to take the next Great Pharaoh challenge earlier.
I was busy in the "Dead Space". When Xiaoyue and I, who lived next to each other, had dinner together, Afeng and Xue Wuxia proposed a new action plan and asked for my opinion. "Adai, Feifei and I have discussed it repeatedly. We want to propose a proposal to the Dark Council to organize forces to attack Hua Mantian's Huadu Mercenary Group and try to destroy it in one fell swoop. What do you think?"
I was online for too long and was already very hungry. I was chewing my favorite chicken wings with gusto. I heard him and said casually, "Attack Huadu, no problem. I will definitely support it. Hua Mantian should have been destroyed long ago. Let's see how arrogant he will be in the future." After saying this, I was stunned for a moment before I understood what Afeng meant. I turned my eyes away from the chicken wings and looked at him and Xue Wuxia. "Are you going to propose that the resistance alliance attack Hua Mantian's Huadu at this time?"
A Feng nodded, "Why, do you have a different opinion?"
I swallowed the remaining chicken wing meat in my mouth. "Of course, I fully support the plan of dealing with Hua Mantian. I will not have any objection. But don't you think the timing is wrong now? The Dark Council has approved the "Northern Strategy" proposed by Long Xingtianxia, and it has been launched in full swing. We must concentrate all our efforts to completely eliminate the influence of the Church of Light in the northern continent. This is also something we all agree with. Now we have to convince those guys in the Dark Council to agree to support the attack on the Huadu Mercenary Group in the Eastern Continent at this time. This is probably a bit unrealistic, right? You know, the Church of Light is wreaking havoc in the southern continent. Desert Eagle and his group of local dark forces in the southern continent are also trying to stop the attack. The representatives of the forces are still full of grievances and complaints. They are not willing to give up the Southern Continent temporarily and not confront the Church of Light. The Eastern Continent is now peaceful and there are no major disputes. It does not pose much threat to our resistance alliance. Whether it is Long Xing Tian Xia, Desert Eagle, or Qing Wu Fei Yang, they will not choose to rekindle the war in the Eastern Continent, consume our strength, and affect the "Northern Strategy" operation. If this issue is raised now, I am afraid that only the three representatives of the Tongxin Alliance will agree to it in the huge Dark Council. No one, including the three chairmen, will support it. "
"Feifei and I have considered all that you said. We also know that choosing to make this proposal to the Dark Council at this time will certainly encounter difficulties and resistance. However, it is also at this time that it is the most favorable time to attack Huadu and give Hua Mantian a fatal blow. From a personal point of view, after Huadu was destroyed by us once, it quickly developed again by obtaining the quota and base of the Blue Falun Mercenary Group of the Ganges War God that was seized by the Church of Light. Under the leadership of Hua Mantian, the Sun Never Sets Mercenary Group with the spirit of the Church of Light and Yamato With the strong support of these reliable allies, the original foundation of a large mercenary group of 10,000 people is still there, and the power has been rapidly expanded. Now it has become a medium-sized mercenary group of 1,000 people. There is also accurate news that Huadu has already made progress in upgrading to a large mercenary group of 10,000 people, and it is being implemented intensively. Perhaps it will be able to restore its original size soon. If we want to defeat Hua Mantian and destroy Huadu at that time, it will probably be more difficult and costly. Compared with now, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the result. "
"We are playing the game Tianxia, forming the Tongxin League, and then joining the resistance alliance, trying our best to occupy the position of the dark director. In addition to seeking corresponding benefits, one of the most important goals should be to try to hit Hua Mantian to the greatest extent possible, to deprive him of the opportunity to develop in Tianxia step by step, and to make him completely lose power. Now that he has seen the hope of rising again, he must be full of confidence. If we hit him head-on at this critical juncture and shatter his hopes in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a heavy blow to him. I dare not assert that he will never recover from this, but the most direct consequence is that It would shake his position in the Light Senate. After all, the power of the Peace Guard, the player who changed his job to Light in the southern continent, is also not weak. He is competing fiercely with him for the position of Vice President of the Light Senate. The destruction of Huadu has already frustrated Hua Mantian a lot. The reason why he can still occupy the position of Vice President of the Senate is mainly because he started a little earlier and his influence among the players who changed their jobs to Light is slightly greater than that of the Peace Guard. In addition, he has a new artifact and his personal strength is slightly superior. The previous dispute within the Church of Light about the focus of development in the three continents of East, South and North ended with the victory of the Peace Guard. A paragraph. It has already indicated that Hua Mantian, whose development focus is on the Eastern Continent, will gradually lose influence in the Church of Light. At least he will fall behind the Peacekeepers, whose sphere of influence is the Southern Continent. As the situation develops, his position as Vice President of the Senate has already been somewhat shaken. If he suffers another heavy blow at this critical juncture and loses the Huadu Mercenary Group, which is the foundation of his power, he will be even less able to compete with the Peacekeepers. I believe he will soon lose his position as Vice President of the Senate and can only be an ordinary senator at best. This is very difficult for the arrogant and arrogant Playboy, who is used to being in a strong position. For him, it is absolutely the greatest humiliation ever and will be the biggest blow to him. Feifei and I have reconciled and have received her forgiveness. We have let go of many things that happened in the past and do not want to continue to fight with the playboy. We want to start our new life again. However, the mistakes he made and the pain he brought us over the years must be punished accordingly. He must also truly taste the pain of being completely defeated, losing the most precious things, and becoming a pitiful loser. Otherwise, it will be difficult to dispel the anger and resentment that has been accumulated in our hearts. "
"As for the alliance of resistance forces. Although our plan to attack the Huadu Mercenary Group has some meaning of 'using public power for personal gain', it is actually a good opportunity to weaken the forces of light. Hua Mantian is currently the vice-chairman of the Light Senate of the Church of Light. He is the chief representative of the local forces of light in the Eastern Continent and has considerable influence in the Eastern Continent. The Huadu Mercenary Group under his leadership is a loyal force of light. Because it was destroyed by us once before, it had to start developing again, resulting in its momentum being lost and declining. Now is the critical time for it to vigorously seek development and growth. Once we fail to curb it and miss this opportunity, Huadu will expand again into a large mercenary group of 10,000 people, which will inevitably make the forces of light in the Eastern Continent grow further, and it is likely to pose a greater obstacle to our future actions to eliminate the forces of light in the Eastern Continent. It is best to take advantage of it before it develops. When they come, we will strangle them in one fell swoop to avoid raising a tiger to cause trouble. Moreover, the development center of the Church of Light has now shifted to the Southern Continent. In addition to the local light forces in the Northern Continent who have mostly stayed behind to participate in prevention because of our "Northern Strategy" operation, most of the light forces in the Eastern Continent, including Hua Mantian himself, have been transferred to the Southern Continent to help. If Huadu is attacked and personnel are dispatched back to participate in the defense, it will inevitably affect the action arrangements of the Southern Continent. As long as we design it cleverly and try to avoid being seen by them as the full-scale attack of our resistance alliance, it will show more personal grievances and disputes. I believe that the Peacekeepers will not cooperate too much with Hua Mantian's plan. The Light Senate may not agree to concentrate all its efforts to protect Huadu. As long as we can avoid a decisive battle with the main force of the Church of Light, we will have a great chance of winning this group battle."
"Although the main task of the resistance alliance is to fully implement the 'Northern Strategy' plan and destroy the Cathedrals of Light in all the main cities of the northern continent as soon as possible, we are facing a global task. We still have to go back to expand our influence in the eastern continent. We also have to destroy the Cathedrals of Light in the main cities of the eastern continent. We can't be too rigid and really only focus on one place and completely ignore the others. If there is a better opportunity to attack the Church of Light, we should not miss the opportunity and let it go easily. We must take action when it is time to take action and strive to achieve greater results. Moreover, the series of actions taken by our resistance alliance in the northern continent can also provide better cover for the attack on the Flower City Mercenary Group. The real and fake will make the Church of Light unable to determine whether we really want to concentrate all our efforts on attacking Flower City, or just a feint to delay time and disrupt their action plan. If we can destroy Flower City in one fell swoop As the Vice President of the Senate of Light, Hua Mantian's influence is even greater than destroying a Cathedral of Light. It will play a more positive and important role in further enhancing the reputation of our resistance alliance and weakening the local forces of the Eastern Continent. As for the objections that the representatives of the dark forces of the Southern Continent, such as the Desert Eagle, may raise, as long as Long Xingtianxia can be persuaded to stand on our side, it will be equally easy to resolve. As long as they can find a medium-sized mercenary group like Hua Mantian's Huadu, which is not large in scale - only a thousand people, but has a high influence in the light forces, especially for the light forces of one continent, it can be said that it has a pivotal position, and can achieve multiple goals in one battle. We will also agree to their feasible offensive plan with a relatively high success rate, and I think they will not have too many reasons and excuses to oppose our proposal."
Afeng's great principles were so many that I felt dizzy. It seemed that Fengxue agreed and was going to seize the opportunity to teach Hua Mantian a profound lesson. Finally, the explanation was over. I waved my hands quickly, "You don't have to convince me. It's not that I disagree. I'm just worried that this proposal will not be accepted by Long Xingtianxia and the Dark Council at this time. As long as it is to deal with Hua Mantian, no matter how it is done, I will definitely support it unconditionally and will not have any objections. What are you going to do next? Do you want to drag me along to convince Long Xingtianxia?"
The quota of the Dark Council is 30 people, and our Tongxin League occupies three seats. Moreover, in terms of their own strength, they are all top masters in "Tianxia" - I am the "World's No. 1 Undead Wizard", of course, and no one has been able to shake it so far. Afeng, who holds the "Blood-sucking Spear", has also subdued the 10th-level upper-level holy magic pet Fire Phoenix, and is also a hot favorite to defend the title of "World's No. 1 Knight". Xue Wuxia's original performance was not too outstanding. At least under Baiyunjian, but after successively subduing the 10th-level upper-level holy magic pet Peacock King, and holding the artifact "Thunder God Chisel", his personal strength has been subtly improved to a higher level, and he has become a hot candidate for the competition of "World's No. 1 Thunder Magician". If nothing unexpected happens, the three of us will definitely be selected to participate in the final light and dark 25-person showdown. Our reputation within the resistance alliance and even the Dark Council is growing. We have gradually become independent from Long Xing Tian Xia and have an increasingly stronger voice in the Dark Council. No matter which side we are on, no one is willing to openly offend our United Alliance. The opinions we raise also have a considerable influence on Long Xing Tian Xia, the speaker of the council, and he cannot ignore them.
A Feng curled his lips and made an expression of contempt for me, "Don't be so self-indulgent there. Am I so bored that I need to spend this energy to persuade you? In order to make the proposal of attacking Hua Mantian's Flower City as much as possible to be discussed and passed by the Dark Council, in addition to Long Xingtianxia, the attitudes of Qingwu Feiyang and Romantic Sakura, the representatives of the Northern Continent, are also very important. If you can get their consent in advance, the chances will be greater. Therefore, you still need to exert your influence as the "World's No. 1 Undead Wizard". Go to Qingwu Feiyang privately for necessary communication and talk to her carefully about the relevant principles. With the relationship between the two of you, it is easier to communicate and talk things out. Don't be obsessed with the immediate interests, and look at the long-term. If she agrees to help, we will naturally have other rewards in the future. You are going to be a lobbyist. If I don't explain the reasons to you clearly first, how can you convince Qingwu Feiyang?"
The difficulties are indeed not small. The resistance alliance is concentrating its strength and implementing the "Northern Strategy" plan step by step. Long Xingtian is naturally unwilling to divert the target and attack Hua Mantian's Huadu Mercenary Group in the Eastern Continent. Not only is it easy to destroy the existing pattern, it will give rise to unpredictable and uncontrollable variables, leading to further complication of the situation, which may result in unfavorable results for us. Moreover, the "Northern Strategy" plan was promoted by Long Xingtian. Now it is preparing to launch an attack in the Eastern Continent, which is likely to cause the dark forces in the Southern Continent, who are being pressured by the "Southern Expedition" of the Church of Light, to further produce dissatisfaction and intensify the internal contradictions of the alliance. In addition, this will inevitably directly affect the ongoing "Northern Strategy" operation, and it is also easy to cause dissatisfaction among the dark forces in the Northern Continent. It can be said that there are many disadvantages. In this eventful time, it is really not easy to create more complications and distract the attack on the Huadu Mercenary Group of Hua Mantian, the Vice Senate President of Light, which involves too many and too sensitive forces.
The work of persuading Long Xing Tian Xia was naturally mainly done by A Feng and Xue Wu Xia. I only helped out occasionally, and with a tough attitude, we showed our determination to promote the attack on the Huadu Mercenary Group. We were determined not to give in or compromise, which gradually softened Long Xing Tian Xia's attitude. His tone became much looser, and he changed from being opposed to negotiating. We specifically discussed the feasibility of attacking Huadu under the current situation, weighed the pros and cons, and saw whether it would have a more serious impact on the "Northern Raiders" plan and whether it would have a stronger practical significance. After all, our Tongxin Alliance would provide him with strong help in many aspects to consolidate his position as Speaker. He was unwilling to fall out with us unless he had no choice.
Afterwards, I made an appointment with Qing Wu Fei Yang to have a private talk, and asked for her opinion on the attack on Huadu. At the beginning, her attitude was naturally the same as Long Xing Tian Xia. She was unwilling to cause trouble and insisted on opposing it. She was also worried that it would affect the implementation of the "Northern Strategy" plan. If she rashly provoked the vice-chairman of the Senate of Light, it would easily give rise to unpredictable variables, causing the full intervention of the Church of Light, which might damage the interests of the dark forces in the northern continent. However, after my patient persuasion, her attitude finally loosened up, and I asked A Feng and Xue Wu Xia to come forward to have a secret talk with her and Romantic Sakura. Finally, we reached a consensus on the relevant situation and interests, and preliminarily agreed to our plan to attack the Huadu Mercenary Group. With Qing Wu Fei Yang's agreement to cooperate with us, Long Xing Tian Xia, who was originally a little hesitant and wanted to wait for a while to destroy a few more Cathedrals of Light and stabilize the situation in the northern continent before attacking Huadu, finally made up his mind and agreed to support our proposal to hold an emergency meeting of the Dark Council to discuss this motion.
