Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 295: Alternative Methods
"Oh, Long Xing, you look so confident. Could it be that you have thought of some good way to ensure that we can successfully rescue the two level nine NPCs holding divine artifacts?" The question was asked by Desert Eagle. Although he, as the deputy speaker, also strongly advocated taking rescue actions, he was unable to come up with a more reasonable and feasible plan, and the success rate of the action was not high.
"It's just my personal idea. There may be many omissions and biases. There is no guarantee that it will succeed. I'm just trying my best and hope to get a better result." Long Xingtian smiled calmly. Although he spoke very modestly, he was still calm and confident, as if he had really come up with a feasible plan. The other directors were also affected by this. They couldn't help but be refreshed and looked at him expectantly. They stopped whispering in private for a while. The conference room became quite quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of everyone's breathing, whether fast or slow.
"There are too many variables in the rescue operation. Not only does it depend on the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements sent by our resistance alliance, but more importantly, it depends on the arrangements of the Church of Light. Since they dared to set such a trap, they must have a detailed plan. They ambushed heavily in the Undead Forest and Dark Forest, and they will not let us protect the two trapped level nine NPCs to successfully break out easily. Once we set foot on the southern continent and fight the Church of Light, many things will be beyond our control. The situation may evolve in a direction we can't expect. The situation may be very unfavorable to us. No one can guarantee that the rescue operation will be successful. The strength of the Church of Light is not weaker than that of our resistance alliance. They have already seized the initiative with their intentions. It is too difficult for us to make up for the disadvantage. Including me, I have never been able to come up with a feasible plan that can have a relatively high degree of confidence in successfully protecting the two level nine NPCs from danger under the heavy siege of the light players."
Long Xingtianxia's words made us all stunned. He looked so confident, but in the end he said that he had no solution. What was he doing? Was he making fun of us? Was he using the same old trick again? He thought the atmosphere in the venue was too dull, so he deliberately made a joke to relieve everyone's pressure like he did before? However, choosing to do so at such a critical moment was a bit too frivolous. But it was a bit inappropriate. Wouldn't it make the glimmer of hope that had just been aroused in us sink into the sea of disappointment again and make us feel even more disappointed?
"In fact, this is reasonable. If the trap set by the Church of Light with such great effort is really broken by our resistance alliance, then they have no strength to compete with us, and it is impossible for them to maintain their dominance. The risk of the rescue operation is too great, and time is limited. We cannot afford to think too much or make more thorough preparations. It is indeed difficult to come up with a feasible method with a relatively high success rate." Qingwu Feiyang expressed his opinion at the right time. On the surface, he did not say it explicitly, but he had the intention of exonerating Long Xingtianxia and paving the way for him to make it easier for him to turn around.
He first glanced at the many directors who were surprised, disappointed, hesitant, or even a little angry, and then turned to Qingwu Feiyang who tried to help him out, smiling and nodding to thank him. Long Xingtianxia still looked very calm. Although he was smiling, his expression was very serious, and there was no hint of joking with us. It seemed that he had something to say later, which made the uproar that had just been set off quickly subside, and everyone turned their eyes to him again, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Our rescue operation is to try to create possibilities under almost impossible circumstances. Normal plans will definitely not work and there will not be much confidence. If we want the operation to be successful, we must achieve victory by surprise. If necessary, we must resolutely abandon those irrelevant and minor details that have little impact on the overall situation. Only by grasping the most critical and important point and concentrating all our efforts can we have greater hope. Think about it, everyone, what is the most critical and important link in our rescue operation this time, and we must not let it go?" Long Xingtianxia did not tell his plan all at once, but kept it in suspense in the middle.
"Aren't they just the two trapped level nine NPCs? They are our rescue targets. If they die, our rescue operation will be a failure. We must protect their safety." The answer to this question was too simple. I'm sure everyone present had guessed it. For a moment, no one answered. After a brief silence, a director of the Dragon Department spoke up to avoid a dull silence and embarrassment for Long Xingtianxia.
Long Xingtianxia remained silent and continued looking at everyone, probably waiting for other directors to continue answering. It seemed that this was not the answer he wanted. The question became interesting at this point. Many directors began to frown and think hard, trying to find the correct answer.
"It's the artifacts. The most critical and important ones should be the two dark artifacts held by the two trapped level nine NPCs. Only if they are lost and seized by the Church of Light and sealed or destroyed, will it have the most serious impact on our resistance alliance, especially the dark professional players. They are the ones that we need to focus on protecting. The two level nine NPCs are just the carriers of the two dark artifacts. Because of the artifacts, we have to do our best to rescue and protect them." Qiu Shui Changtian was the first to express a different opinion.
"Qiu Shui is right, it's the two dark artifacts." Long Xingtian nodded, "The two dark level nine NPCs who are responsible for the promotion of low-level professions are not of much value. We have killed many level nine NPCs of the Church of Light, including many of the top elites. They can't do anything big with this achievement alone, and there is nothing to brag about. The reason why they are willing to invade the Undead Forest and the Dark Demon Forest is that the main target is the two dark artifacts and the reinforcements that our resistance alliance may send. For our resistance alliance, the destruction of the Undead Forest and the Dark Demon Forest and the killing of the two level nine NPCs responsible for the promotion of low-level professions will certainly bring some negative effects. It requires the loss of the Death God and Lucy. If we cannot use the power of the two big bosses, our Dark Council will definitely bear some responsibility, but the consequences will not be too serious. We can make up for it by taking other measures, and it will not damage our interests too much. However, the two dark artifacts are the top priority. What the Church of Light really wants is them, and they are used as bait to lure our army to rescue. For our resistance alliance, especially the dark professional players, they have great significance and long-term effects. They are directly related to the final battle between light and darkness. It can be said that they must not be easily damaged. Therefore, I think one thing that needs to be made clear before determining the rescue action plan is that these two dark artifacts are the real goals of our rescue, and protecting them is our most important task. "
Although Long Xing Tianxia did not say it explicitly, the implicit meaning in his words was already quite obvious. The directors present were not stupid and should have guessed the rescue plan that Long Xing Tianxia had come up with. They looked at each other in bewilderment, apparently shocked by this seemingly radical plan, which could almost be described as using any means to achieve the goal.
"Then according to your opinion, Long Xing, can we give up protecting the two level nine NPCs when necessary and just take back the two dark artifacts?" After a moment of silence, a director finally asked.
"What do NPCs do? Regardless of their level, status, or position, their essence is to help us players play the game better and provide necessary assistance when needed, rather than causing us more trouble for the greater or long-term interests of the dark camp. We should be able to abandon them when it is time to do so. There is no need to put more pressure on ourselves and take too much risk for them. Although we are to blame for the killing of two level 9 NPCs who were responsible for the promotion of low-level dark players, we will not bear too much responsibility. The key is the two dark artifacts. They are too useful, and we must try our best to get them back. We cannot let them fall into the hands of the Church of Light. The two level 9 NPCs are the carriers of the two artifacts. The artifacts are in Once they are killed, the artifact will fall out and be taken by the players of the Church of Light. This is the most unstable factor and the biggest hidden danger of our entire rescue operation. Even if we successfully break through the siege and meet up with the two level nine NPCs, we are not sure that we can safely protect them and then break through the siege. If there is a slight mistake in the process, it may fail. It is easy to kill the level nine NPC and the artifact will fall into the hands of the Church of Light. The safest way is to transfer the artifact to our players. As long as we put it in our "storage belt", it will not fall out easily even if we are killed. In this way, no matter what the result is, whether we successfully break through or are killed, it is equivalent to completing the main purpose of the rescue operation we launched, so that the Church of Light will not gain too much advantage. "
"Then how do we transfer the artifact to our players? Should we apply to the Dark Elders in the name of our Dark Council and have them issue an order for the two level nine NPCs to hand over the artifact to us?"
Long Xing Tianxia glanced at the director who raised the question and shook his head calmly. "That would be too troublesome. NPCs are similar to players. They regard the artifacts they hold as their second lives and will never give them up easily. Even if the situation is extremely urgent and the Dark Elders are asked to review it, it is a serious matter and they cannot make a decision in a short time. We cannot afford to delay and cannot wait. For the sake of the overall situation, the two NPCs will not be able to make the decision at that time. As long as we can successfully break through the siege and join them, they will have to hand it over whether they want to or not. The war is urgent and we don't have the patience and time to deal with them any more."
"Do you want us to deal with it ourselves...?"
"For the sake of the overall interests and the great cause of the dark camp against the light camp, necessary sacrifices are inevitable in the long and difficult struggle. The Church of Light has already lost so many NPCs in the battle, and it is no big deal if a few of our dark professional NPCs are killed or injured. We can't just let our players fight to the death on the stage and let those dark NPCs enjoy a leisurely life. Not only do they not contribute anything, but they also cause us extra trouble. Rather than failing to protect them and letting the two level nine NPCs die at the hands of the light players and risking the loss of the artifacts, it is better for us to do it ourselves and save the light players from getting a bargain. Anyway, there is no evidence, and the two of them can't complain to us again. As long as everyone present does not fight among themselves and presents strong evidence to actively report to the Dark Elders, there will be no future troubles. Only in this way can we have a relatively high success rate and be able to preserve the two dark artifacts as much as possible so that they will not fall into the hands of the Church of Light."
It is true that a man without venom is not a hero. Long Xing Tian Xia's plan is vicious enough that he even wants to kill his own NPCs. However, it is undeniable that this is indeed much safer. As long as we can successfully meet up with the two level nine NPCs, we can effectively prevent the danger of losing the artifact. The sacrifice of the reinforcements is worthwhile and not in vain. The plan of the Church of Light to surround and attack the reinforcements and kill two birds with one stone has to be declared aborted, which increases the chance of the success of the rescue operation. Of course, if the Dark Elders find out that we killed our own NPCs, they will definitely impose severe punishment on the relevant responsible persons. The crime is definitely not light, but the two dark level nine NPCs who were killed are not able to appeal. The light players are enemies, and even if they see it, they have no right to provide evidence and tell. The rest are the members of the Dark Council who attended the meeting. After the high-level and powerful factions such as Desert Eagle, Light Dance, Qiu Shui Chang Tian and our three giants of Tongxin League successively expressed their support for Long Xing Tian Xia's proposal, they had to raise their hands and agree. Everyone also signed a secret agreement, and everyone shared the responsibility. No one can escape, and if the operation is successful, the credit belongs to everyone. Long Xingtianxia, who proposed this method, generously suggested that all directors should be the proposers of the rescue operation together, and voluntarily give up the merits he enjoyed as the speaker, and divide them equally among everyone. Everyone can get a richer reward than usual, and there is no need to worry too much about some of them who are insiders turning on their own accords and making trouble. In addition, the specific action of killing the two level nine NPCs will definitely be handed over to reliable people to carry out, and outsiders who are not closely related will not be allowed to watch and witness. Without solid evidence, even if someone wants to sell this matter for their own benefit, it will be difficult to succeed. Choose the lesser of two evils. It seems that Long Xingtianxia is also desperate. In order to keep the two dark artifacts as much as possible, and at the same time not to incur greater losses due to the rescue operation and endanger his position as speaker, he even calculated the dark NPC.
Without further ado, we decided on a feasible rescue plan, discussed the specific steps, formed a resolution, and started the intense rescue operation. All the combat teams affiliated with the resistance alliance had already assembled according to the order, and most of the personnel were ready. As long as the high-level command system composed mainly of members of the Dark Council was formally established and a specific action plan was formulated, we could quickly mobilize personnel to launch the rescue operation. Although we have determined that we will kill the two dark level nine NPCs and ensure the safety of the two dark artifacts as much as possible, the biggest difficulty we face is that we must successfully meet with them before the two level nine NPCs are killed, so that we can bring the two dark artifacts under our control. Otherwise, everything will be over, and the rescue operation will be a complete failure. Therefore, other means must be used to paralyze the Church of Light, so that they must strengthen their vigilance and set up ambushes in order to swallow the big fish of our resistance alliance reinforcements, so as not to concentrate all their efforts on besieging and hunting the trapped two level nine NPCs, so as to buy us more time and retain the opportunity to win the rescue operation.
The first to take action were the dark forces in the southern continent. As the landlords, they naturally moved faster. Under the leadership of the directors such as Desert Eagle and Tianxing, they rushed to the Undead Forest and Dark Demon Forest. However, their strength was too weak, and they were not eager to confront the Church of Light head-on, so as not to suffer heavy losses. The main thing was to do a good job of reconnaissance before the war, and try to grasp the specific arrangements and real and fake situations of the attack of the Church of Light in detail, so as to facilitate our further specific actions. The Church of Light has spread its net, and its appetite is definitely not too small. It should not take the initiative to attack, and be satisfied with only eliminating the small number of players in the alliance of the resistance forces in the southern continent. Instead, they will strengthen their determination to besiege and attack the reinforcements, waiting for a more favorable opportunity to catch a bigger fish. For the time being, they should not be eager to eliminate the two level 9 NPCs that were besieged, so that we lose the target of rescue, and choose to retreat, making their plot fail.
Players from the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent must also gather quickly. Heading to the Southern Continent, rushing to the Undead Forest and Dark Magic Forest to meet up with the local dark players from the Southern Continent to prepare for a rescue operation, but these are all cover and containment measures. The real rescue plan is an elite commando team composed of hundreds of the strongest top players in the anti-disturbance alliance, including Long Xing Tianxia, me, and A Feng. We must sneak to the vicinity before the large forces arrive at the Undead Forest and Dark Magic Forest to start the rescue operation, and use the mobilization of large forces to attract the attention of the Church of Light, so as to win more opportunities for our commando team, find an area with relatively weak defenses to break through the siege, and find the two trapped level 9 NPCs to meet up with them. This is also a key step. After all, the Light Senate will not be stupid. Once the army of our resistance alliance is assembled and ready to take rescue actions, they should intensify the siege of the two level 9 NPCs and strive to grab the two dark artifacts as soon as possible. In order to free up their hands to fully besiege our support troops and avoid leaving us too many opportunities for successful rescue. The grasp of timing is particularly important. Once the war starts, both sides are racing against time. Whichever side can control the two trapped level nine NPCs first will have more hope of achieving their goals.
Organize and mobilize a large number of people as soon as possible. They went to the southern continent continuously. Each combat team received the order to prepare for a decisive battle with the Church of Light to rescue the two trapped level 9 NPCs holding artifacts. They put on a posture of not hesitating to fight the Church of Light head-on to the death, so as to attract the attention of the Church of Light and cover our 100-man commando team composed of top elites to sneak into the area near the Undead Forest and the Dark Demon Forest. The Desert Eagle, with the local dark forces of the southern continent, has taken a series of reconnaissance and probing actions in advance according to the requirements, and has a basic understanding of the layout of the Church of Light. In particular, he personally organized a group of players to forcibly assault and rushed into the closed space set up by the four twelve-winged golden angel statues. Using his special means of communication as the deputy speaker, he contacted the two trapped level 9 NPCs, proving that they still survived the siege of the light players and were worth our sacrifice to rush in and rescue them. However, under the relentless pressure of the light players. The space they could move in had been greatly compressed, and most of the undead creatures and dark beasts that could be mobilized to fight against the light players had been killed or injured. They could not hold on for much longer. If the light players had not slowed down their offensive a little later, their situation would have been even worse. The assault only bought them such a short time, and they could only learn this much. The Church of Light's defenses were very strict, with layers of defenses and ambushes, making it difficult to force their way in. The reason why the Desert Eagle was able to break into the enclosed space in one fell swoop was that the Church of Light deliberately let them know the situation of the two dark NPCs to strengthen their determination to rush to the rescue. As soon as they got in touch with the two NPCs, the Church of Light's offensive became more and more fierce, and the pressure doubled, causing them heavy casualties. They had no time to talk, and had to withdraw hastily with the support of the follow-up troops. If they were a little later, they would probably be in danger of being eaten in one fell swoop.
Time is running out. After gathering the commandos, the vanguards of the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent have arrived at the designated area to meet up with the players of the Southern Continent. They are then arranged to launch larger-scale harassing attacks in batches from multiple directions, pretending to continue further exploration operations to prepare for the next general attack, so as to cover the real rescue operation launched by our assault team. This will not stimulate the Church of Light and force them to attack the two trapped level 9 NPCs with all their strength. At the same time, they will not pay too much attention to the various combat teams that are attacking separately, and will send out the main force to encircle and suppress them. They should continue to ambush and wait for our general attack force. This will allow our commando team to fish in troubled waters, buy more time to penetrate the enemy camp, and try to get close to the two level 9 NPCs, and try to meet them before the Church of Light realizes our true intentions and kills them.
More and more combat teams were sent out, but they encountered fierce resistance from the Church of Light, and suffered heavy casualties . After further understanding the defense situation outside the Church of Light, they gathered more people and launched a larger-scale exploratory attack. Our commandos also joined in the attack, trying to take advantage of their cover to break through deeper. At the same time, the follow-up attack troops were also arranged. Once our commandos were killed by the enemy, they would spare no effort to attack the location of one of the twelve-winged golden angel statues - this was also a weak spot of the Church of Light. If one of them was damaged, it would also bring a lot of trouble to the Light Senate, so they had no choice but to deploy heavy troops for protection. Such an important object was hidden quite secretly by the Church of Light and would not be easily discovered. We were able to learn the specific location of one of the twelve-winged golden angel statues in time before the war through the intelligence transmitted back by an insider at the risk of exposing our identity, so that we could launch targeted attacks and pin down their troop movements, so that they could not concentrate too many manpower to hunt down our commando team and the two trapped NPCs, which bought us more time.
A combat squad was sent out in front of our commando team to lead the charge. At their expense, we defeated the interception outside the Church of Light and successfully broke into the enclosed space. This is the real battlefield, where the Church of Light is heavily ambushed. We must fight to fight our way forward. Long Xing Tianxia has contacted the two trapped dark NPCs and learned their current coordinates. Unfortunately, their main energy must be used to resist the increasingly fierce attacks and struggle to survive. They don't have much spare time to contact Long Xing Tianxia. It seems that with the arrival of our reinforcements, the Church of Light has begun to shrink the siege and strengthen the offensive to prevent accidents and avoid us from taking advantage of the opportunity to successfully rescue the two dark NPCs. Fortunately, our method is much simpler. We only need to approach the two living dark NPCs to complete the rescue mission. There is no need to launch a breakout operation and get too entangled with the Church of Light. Of course, perhaps the Light Council will also consider this and take precautions, but in order to catch the big fish of our reinforcements, they also have to take corresponding risks and must ensure the safety of the two trapped dark NPCs for a period of time to lure us to rescue them. We take advantage of this time difference and must forcefully break through the interception as soon as possible, and strive to rush to meet them before the two dark NPCs are killed by the light players. We will kill them and take over the custody of the two dark artifacts on their behalf, so as to more effectively ensure the safety of the artifacts and prevent them from being seized by the Church of Light.
