Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 331: I Belong to the Hero
The resistance of Glory was very tenacious, and they still had considerable strength, able to confront our United Alliance head-on and avoid being defeated by our massive counterattack. However, when I sacrificed my upper-level undead subordinates at level ten and ordered them to attack with all their might even at the cost of their lives, they were inevitably forced into a disadvantage as they were trapped in the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Formation". Not only did the "Angel Light" formation suffer a fierce attack, but the four cardinals who formed a battle formation had to disperse and strengthen their own defenses to protect themselves, thus lifting the incomplete war angel and cherubim states imposed on the eight-winged holy angels summoned by the Glory people, and Khufu, Heinrich, Haishar, and Wu Ma broke through the defenses of several cardinals and successfully killed them, giving our United Alliance a greater advantage in the number of casualties, and we can do more Rely on the "Iron Bucket Formation" for defense without worry. Now it's Glory's turn to be anxious. The defensive counterattack and passive resistance tactics implemented by our United Alliance can no longer allow them to score enough to turn the situation around. Only by breaking our "Iron Bucket Formation" can we win the final victory in this mercenary group war. In the future, they must launch a stronger attack and destroy our formation and kill people. On the surface, it seems to be no different from the initial battle, but in fact the initiative has been transferred to our United Alliance. As long as we can keep the "Iron Bucket Formation", no matter whether we can completely defeat Glory within the one and a half hour game time limit, it will be our United Alliance that wins the final.
As several cardinals were killed one after another under the desperate attacks of the undead I summoned, I also discovered an interesting phenomenon. The five cardinals who assisted Holy Heaven in using the combination props to summon Michael each death of one of them. The most obvious manifestation was naturally his speed, which slowed down a little. Ibola, who had been trying hard to entangle and restrain him, was the first to sensitively notice it. According to the order issued by me as the master to control the battle situation, Ibola promptly notified me of the changes in the status of Michael's God's clone, allowing me to pay some attention to the situation of Michael's God's clone. At first, I suspected that the Holy Heaven had consumed too much energy to summon Michael's clone, and it was running out of energy and could no longer sustain it. However, seeing that the Holy Heaven was still using the two great artifacts, "Angel Robe" and "Holy Flame Badge of Light", it was very vigorous in the battle, and there was no sign of exhaustion. The problem should not be with him. Moreover, the Holy Heaven did not show any concern about Michael's clone, but was just trying its best to protect other companions who were attacked, and did not intend to change tactics. It was not like the summoning time limit of the clone had been reached, and the state was gradually weakening and ready to leave. For a while, I could not figure out why Michael's clone's strength suddenly decreased. Later, when the second of the five cardinals was killed, Michael's clone's strength was further weakened, and I was able to connect them. It was not until the third cardinal was killed that Michael's clone's strength became weaker, and I was sure of this. Unfortunately, Holy Heaven and several other Paladins of Light further strengthened the protection of the remaining two cardinals, and there was not much time left for the "Gate of the Underworld", so it was impossible to continue to expand the results of the battle. However, I still seized the opportunity to kill a cardinal who participated in the "Angel of Light" formation. The possibility of them forming the "Angel of Light" again was completely eliminated. This round of counterattack played a significant role in weakening the combat effectiveness of Glory, making them no longer as strong as before. Moreover, we killed four cardinals and four Paladins of Light one after another, while our Tongxin League only lost Qingqing Liushui, Nan Feiyan and Xiaoniao Yiren. We have taken a considerable initiative and forced Glory to the point where we can only give it a try. Although the status of the twelve heavily-armored warriors who formed the "Iron Bucket Formation" of our Tongxin League has also declined significantly, the injuries are too serious, and it is not something that Yinzhuang Suku can remedy alone, and they are no longer as brave as they were at the beginning. But their tenacious performance until now has bought me enough time. Taking advantage of the raging of the "Gate of Yellow Springs", I summoned three more batches of undead subordinates. With the cooperation and assistance of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array", they have been able to launch a counterattack, threatening the safety of all the Glory people, especially forcing them to strengthen the protection of several cardinals such as Saint Heaven, effectively restraining their attacking power. Without the "Realm of God" to limit the performance of Afeng and Xue Wuxia, they may not be able to completely defeat Glory, but they still have the strength to defend themselves.
The fifteen-minute time limit of "Yellow Spring Gate" was up, and more than a dozen upper-level level ten undead minions immediately disappeared from the field, withdrew from the battle and returned to the "Dead Space". In addition to directly killing four cardinals, they also caused several cardinals and their pets to suffer varying degrees of injuries, and their combat effectiveness must have been reduced to a certain extent. In order to protect the cardinals, several paladins of light used their bodies to block the "Torch Bomb" attack of the eight-armed giant magician, which also consumed a lot of energy. With the current incomplete lineup of six paladins of light and six cardinals, it can be said that there is not much possibility for them to defeat our United Alliance unless they can kill me as soon as possible. The situation of our Tongxin Alliance is very good. The "Iron Bucket Formation" formed by twelve heavily armored warriors is still in operation and playing a defensive role, effectively protecting the four magicians and archers, me, Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying and Yin Zhuangsugu, who are staying in the center of the formation. This allows me to activate the "Touch of Death" to replenish my mental strength without hindrance, and constantly summon more undead minions to help. At the same time, Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying can fully exert their long-range attack capabilities. In addition, Afeng on the periphery relies on the "Iron Bucket Formation" to carry out guerrilla warfare and harass the few Paladins of Light, further restraining their attacks on the "Iron Bucket Formation" and alleviating the pressure on the seriously injured King Chu and others. At the same time, a second firepower point was opened up for attack. Khufu joined forces with eleven great pharaohs, and with the full support of Heinrich, Heshar, Wu Ma and other undead men, the target was directly aimed at the cardinals of Holy Heaven and other places behind Glory, forcing them to spend most of their energy to strengthen their own defense, unable to provide strong support to the Supreme Honor and other Paladins of Light in front, making it difficult for Glory to take care of both ends. The rear was in urgent need of help from time to time, but the front was unable to make any progress after a long attack, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.
We, the United Alliance, fought very patiently. We were not in a hurry to launch a full-scale counterattack to fight with Glory. We just tried our best to maintain our advantage. On the surface, we pretended to fight with Glory to the end and rely on the higher points gained by having the upper hand to win the final victory. We did not intend to completely defeat them. But in fact, we were constantly accumulating strength, waiting to launch the final battle against Glory, striving to completely defeat them, leaving a perfect ending for the final decisive battle of the last "World Heroes Conference", and also avenging the defeat to Glory in the last team competition. Now we have the strength and confidence to do this. We put out the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Formation" and used the "Gate of the Underworld". It can be said that we have played all our cards. If we cannot achieve a relatively satisfactory result, it will not only show that our United Alliance is not enterprising, but also too conservative and even incompetent. Even I will definitely not be willing to do so. After paying a heavy price, we must leave an unforgettable and profound lesson to Glory, our old enemy, and we cannot let them easily "end peacefully".
The Supreme Honor was still brave, and Michael's God's clone was still quite powerful. However, when the Cardinal was restrained and the defensive pressure increased, they could not devote all their efforts to the attack and could not play a big role to help Glory get rid of the disadvantage. As more and more level 10 upper-level undead subordinates I summoned, the pressure on the Cardinal became greater and greater. Glory had to withdraw most of its power to help the Cardinal defend, and could no longer pose much threat to the "Iron Bucket Formation". At this point in the battle, Glory basically had no ability to reverse the situation. Being able to maintain the status quo and end this final with no wins or losses can be said to be the best result. Judging from their tactics, it seems that they have clearly realized the unfavorable situation they are facing. They do not intend to fight to the death with us, and continue to attack with all their strength. They gradually shrink their defense. They should be ready to accept the helpless ending of stalemate with us beyond the game time limit and the referee to decide the final victory or defeat. It's a pity that this is just Glory's wishful thinking, and it is destined to disappoint Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven. We, the United Alliance, are not willing to have a "peaceful end" with Glory while maintaining such a big advantage. If it were other matches or a different opponent, we might not go too far and save some face for the opponent. However, this is the last game of this "World Heroes Conference", and the opponent is our old enemy, the Glory Mercenary Group, which defeated our United Alliance in the last team finals and took away the honor of "the world's number one mercenary group". It also involves the struggle between the resistance alliance represented by our United Alliance and the Church of Light represented by Glory. Naturally, we cannot show mercy and can devote all our strength to give it a try and strive for the best result.
Seeing that the Glory had been effectively restrained by the undead men I summoned, it was difficult to invest more power in the attack. It was meaningless to continue to maintain the operation of the "Iron Bucket Formation" and use most of the manpower for defense. If we want to completely defeat Glory, we must mobilize more forces to actively attack and bring them greater pressure, so that there is a greater chance of causing their defense to collapse. In addition to Xue Wuxia and A Fengsu, the two main combat forces holding artifacts, the most important force is naturally the twelve heavy-armored warriors who formed the "Iron Bucket Formation". The "Iron Bucket Formation" is difficult to transfer, and basically it is defending in place, which is good for defense but not for attack. However, this is only the characteristic of the "Iron Bucket Formation" as a whole. Even if the twelve heavy-armored warriors are scattered, they are still a strong combat force. In a one-on-one close combat, it is difficult for any opponent to defeat them quickly. At present, Rongyao has lost its strength in counterattack and can no longer pose much threat to us. After simply seeking the opinions of Afeng and me, and confirming that Rongyao's performance was not their strategy of "showing weakness to the enemy", Xue Wuxia resolutely decided to remove the "iron bucket formation" and concentrate all personnel into the attack, trying their best to defeat Rongyao completely, wash away the previous shame, and not leave them even a "fig leaf".
The "iron barrel formation" that Glory had been trying to break through finally broke apart, but it was not the result of their efforts and the way they had expected. It was not the change they were willing to see at this moment. This sudden change not only caused the audience to exclaim, but also made most of the members of Glory change color. When our Tongxin Alliance had already gained the upper hand and was almost certain to win the final of the mercenary group war, they did not rest on their laurels and wait for the end of the game. Instead, they launched a full-scale counterattack and wanted to fight Glory in close combat, forcing them to fight us to the death. This approach was indeed a bit risky, and it was really not like the style of the Tongxin Alliance, which had always been accustomed to acting cautiously. It was beyond the expectations of most players. However, our Tongxin Alliance certainly longed to achieve a victory, and also wanted to harvest a relatively satisfactory process. There are only a few chances in life to fight. It is estimated that this should be the last time that the Tongxin Alliance will appear in public on the field. Let us leave a glorious victory as an unforgettable commemoration.
The twelve heavily-armored warriors dispersed, leaving four to closely protect me, Xue Wuxia, Yin Zhuangsugu and Yun Wuying, and to advance with us. The remaining eight, led by the King of Chu, quickly rushed towards the cardinals in the distance together with Afeng, and most of them also used pseudo-artifacts - they were restricted from using other auxiliary props when forming the "iron bucket formation", and now was the time to use them. Even though their own strength was relatively weak, and they would not be the opponents of the Glory's Paladins and cardinals in a one-on-one fight, they had an advantage in total numbers. Coupled with the group of undead subordinates I summoned to fight together, they immediately gained an overwhelming advantage and forced Glory into a dangerous situation where they were about to be defeated.
The Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven were unwilling to lose, and quickly made adjustments, defending with all their strength to resist our all-out attack. At the same time, they also tried to contain our actions by using tactics such as dividing troops to harass, concentrating superior forces to defeat each one, and even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. For this purpose, they also used several pseudo-artifacts and put on a posture of fighting us to the death. However, we had already made a plan and ignored the various harassment and containment actions of Glory. We launched a fierce attack on those cardinals, besieged them with many people, and fought to kill them. Even if Glory found a little opportunity to exchange one with us, as long as I was safe, Glory would not take advantage of me to reverse the situation, and the result would still be in favor of our United Alliance.
Under the strong siege of our United Alliance, several cardinals died in succession, and the combat effectiveness of Glory was further weakened. Even Michael's incarnation was only maintained by Saint Heaven alone. Its strength was greatly reduced, and it could no longer transcend the constraints of the "no-fly" function of the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Lock Array". It could only move at a low altitude close to the ground and was unable to launch a counterattack. Together with the Supreme Honor Transcription, it barely saved the life of Saint Heaven and did not fall under the attack of opponents that were several times their number. Although several Paladins of Light relied on their speed advantage to avoid the attacks of the heavy-armored warriors, they could not escape the pursuit and interception of my undead men. Afeng, Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying formed an assault team, which launched an all-out attack on a single Paladin of Light. Relying on their overall strength that far exceeded their opponents, they killed them one by one, causing fewer and fewer members of Glory who were able to continue to resist. Only Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven were left to support the overall situation. They wanted to kill the enemy, but were ultimately powerless to do so. Complete defeat was basically an inevitable outcome.
Although they fought hard and tried to delay the game until the one and a half hour time limit was exceeded to save some face, under the strong performance of our United Alliance, they were besieged and killed by us in advance and completely defeated. Our United Alliance won the final of the mercenary group battle and defeated the defending champion Glory Mercenary Group, regaining the honor of "the world's number one mercenary group". This greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the United Alliance and the resistance alliance, and caused the reputation of the Glory and Light Church to suffer a heavy blow, and the morale was greatly reduced. In particular, many unrelated neutral professional players who were optimistic about them beforehand and bought lottery tickets to bet on their victory in individual competitions and mercenary group battles suffered a great defeat and suffered losses in interests. They also took their anger out on the Glory and Light Church, which affected their perception of them. More people began to change their impressions and believed that our resistance alliance should be stronger. Even if they did not support our actions, they did not intend to be hostile to us. More importantly, the outstanding performance of the resistance alliance has shaken the neutral forces in the southern continent. The situation in the southern continent, which had just been stabilized by the Church of Light, has shown some signs of instability again. They have to continue to spend a certain amount of effort to take measures to remedy and prevent it. This has given the local dark forces more breathing space and alleviated the crisis that the Church of Light may take action against them. I believe that this will be of certain help to our resistance alliance's future actions in the eastern and southern continents.
I was naturally the most popular player and the biggest beneficiary of this last "World Heroes Conference", and I was awarded the three honors of "World's No. 1 Undead Wizard", "World's No. 1 Expert", and "World's No. 1 Mercenary Group". I was the first person in the history of "World". These honors were represented by three "gold medals" of great weight, made by famous masters, and well-made. They recorded a series of brilliant achievements of Ah Dai, a necromancer, in "World". They were also printed with my real fingerprints, which could serve as proof that the "gold medals" really belonged to me. The "gold medals" with a purity of 99.99% were of great value, and the meaning they represented was enough for me to collect them as precious souvenirs. At the same time, because I successfully achieved the "Triple Crown" of the last "World Heroes Conference", I also won the "Golden Hero Trophy". Such achievements can be said to be unmatched. I have become a legendary figure in Tianxia today, and am talked about by many players. Even Tianmei has opened a special column for the first time, and has made a long serial report on my deeds, with the title "From a 'Rookie' to a Legendary Hero". It describes my main growth experience in detail, and even some major events that happened in the "Dead Space" were exclusively disclosed, establishing me as a typical player, making my name and image (in the virtual world) widely known, and my reputation has reached an unprecedented height, attracting the envy of countless players.
The last "Heroes Conference" that was once so noisy has finally ended, but my journey in "Tianxia" has not come to an end. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard and continue to move towards the ultimate goal and ideal to strive for the final victory. The brilliant achievements I have made before have become the past, and they are a testament to my past self, but they cannot determine my future. The road ahead still requires me to try my best to go on. I must continue to strengthen my strength and strive to advance to the tenth level of the Undead Holy Spirit Mage profession as soon as possible, help the resistance alliance defeat the Church of Light, win the final battle between light and darkness, and put a perfect end to my performance in "Tianxia".
The fundamental way to improve the strength of our undead wizards is in the "Dead Space". There are still too many things that need me to work hard. With the help of the "Blood Pool" of the Blood Bat Clan and the "Blood Pool" of the Blood Witch Clan, the cultivation of "Blood Bodhi" with the help of Bat Demon Dika and Blood Lich Temur is going very smoothly. Everything is just as I and the Dragon Horse Spirit expected. It has been successfully condensed into twelve "Blood Bodhi". As long as there is an abundant supply of blood essence, in time, all these twelve "Blood Bodhi" can be cultivated to maturity. According to the agreement, one-third, that is, four pieces, will be given to the Dragon Horse Spirit, and I can get eight pieces. At that time, I can greatly enhance the strength of Shaman, so that it can challenge the strongest first blood-sucking fang prince Sabrotu as soon as possible. Instead, there should be a chance to subdue the other three blood-sucking fang princes and make them my subordinates, giving full play to the tactics of the four blood-sucking fang princes joining forces to attack, and the effect may be no less than the joint efforts of the true and false ghost knight kings. However, before that, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient supply of blood essence, and meet with the dragon and horse spirits again, and supervise each other's supply of undead subordinates, so that their soul energy can keep up with the consumption of blood in the "blood pool" and "blood pool", and ensure the smooth growth of the "blood bodhi".
My outstanding performance at the "World Heroes Conference" was naturally a great stimulus to other necromancers. Some envied me, and some were jealous of the large number of special undead and level 10 upper-level undead under my command. The eight level 10 upper-level eight-armed giant mages summoned through the "Yellow Elephant Gate" must have attracted the attention of many people. They were quite optimistic about their powerful ultra-long-range attack capabilities. It was a pity that the area around "Karamayi", the holy land of the giant mages, had been included in my sphere of influence, and other necromancers could not openly get involved in robbing. Therefore, after the "World Heroes Conference" ended, the trend of "poaching" rose again. It was said that some necromancers offered a high price to seek to subdue the level 10, especially the level 10 upper-level eight-armed giant mages, which further stimulated and encouraged "poaching". This behavior directly led to the participation of some expert undead wizards among the participants of the "poaching", and they were more organized, using all kinds of means such as luring the tiger away from the mountain and quick raids, and their actions were more destructive. As long as the trace of the giant magician population was found, in order to quickly succeed before I discovered and mobilized troops to launch an operation, the "poaching team" usually only focused on capturing those level ten eight-armed giant magicians, while those level nine six-armed and four-armed giant magicians were usually killed without mercy, in order to end the battle as soon as possible and evacuate in time, so as to avoid direct conflict with me and being attacked and hunted down. Such behavior is even more abominable, causing further waste of limited giant magician resources. For this reason, I had to strengthen the inspection of the area around the holy land "Karamayi" and had to dispatch the black bone dragon army from the expedition to the Ghost Knight Kingdom. As long as I found that there were undead wizards crossing the border, I could launch an attack without notifying me, or at least drive them away, using a tough attitude to reduce the loss of giant magicians. For the undead wizards who dared to "poach", I carried out a bloody and cruel suppression. As long as they fell into my hands, I would kill them without mercy to warn and deter those "poaching teams" who were lucky. In addition, Qiu Shui Changtian and others were unwilling to openly confront me, and Qing Wu Feiyang represented the Northeast Dead Alliance to openly support me, which barely calmed the situation and prevented it from further deteriorating, leading to an out-of-control situation.
