Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 168 Artifact Trading (2)
Solving Khufu's evolution crisis, collecting the souls of the six sacred beasts, and completing the task of removing the first seal of the artifact "Death Scepter" were put on the agenda and became a top priority. On the Tongxin League side, Xue Wuxia and Afeng had already arranged the members who would participate in the attack on the sacred beasts and all kinds of props needed. They were basically ready and were just waiting for me to determine the specific time for action.
Among the six sacred beasts that were targeted , two were in the east and four in the south, meaning that the Eastern Continent occupied two - the Golden Dragon of the water system and the Black Tortoise of the earth system, and the Southern Continent included the remaining four - the Great Demon and the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor of the dark system, the Behemoth of the earth system and the Ultimate Hydra of the water system. Fortunately, they were all in the two continents where the dark forces were relatively strong, so there was no need to worry too much about the professional players of light maliciously obstructing and destroying them.
The first target of attack is the earth-based holy beast Behemoth, which has the strongest physical attack power among the sixteen holy beasts. Even the demon knight possessed by the two-winged fallen angel cannot withstand a few scratches from it, but its defense ability is average and its movements are relatively slow, making it the easiest holy beast to be hunted. Of course, the dropped props and equipment will not be too good, let alone artifacts. Even holy artifacts with good properties are rare.
The leading team responsible for reconnaissance and exploration has already selected the target to be attacked, marked the area, and fenced off the area in advance to avoid being disrupted by players from other forces. Unless the other party deliberately wants to make things difficult for our Tongxin Alliance and provoke disputes, they will generally bypass it and look for another target or wait for the next opportunity. Then the large force will go over in batches, ambush according to the planned ambush, set up various props needed, and start the attack.
At this stage, when challenging a much more powerful holy beast, the role of an individual is extremely limited, and one can only rely on the cooperation of the team. The tactics adopted are actually very simple, that is, to exchange casualties for damage, and to attack endlessly. Every sacrifice of a player must strive to bring as much damage as possible to the target and beat it to death. The success or failure depends on the individual strength of the participating players, who must be able to cause damage to the target; on the other hand, the cooperation between the participating players is not simply the more the better. If they fight each other in a mess, it will only bring more unnecessary casualties and be less efficient. It may even be escaped by the seriously injured holy beast, resulting in the failure of the operation. As a large-scale old-fashioned mercenary group of 10,000 people, it is not difficult for the Tongxin League to achieve these two points. Although the holy beast Behemoth constantly roared and tore the bodies of batches of players, it also caused it more and more serious trauma. In the end, it could only fall to the ground with a helpless whine. The soul that had not yet dissipated was also absorbed by me into the "Soul Bead" given by the Abyss Dragon King Robinho.
Because this was a series of actions to kill the six sacred beasts of the three systems, in order to avoid being discovered by hostile forces and disrupted, the order of action was disrupted and an irregular arrangement was implemented. After successfully killing the sacred beast Behemoth of the earth system, the next target selected was the sacred beast of the water system, the Ultimate Nine-Headed Monster. As the name suggests, it has nine heads and nine mouths that can cast water magic at the same time. Four of the heads are dedicated to defense, and the other five heads are responsible for attack. Both offense and defense capabilities are relatively good, but it has no legs. It relies on its huge body to crawl on the ground. It moves extremely slowly. Its movement speed ranks last among the sixteen sacred beasts. It is more like a war fortress.
However, no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as it is capable of causing damage to it, the human wave tactic is the only way to defeat the enemy. The only thing to consider is the cost accounting issue, how to reduce losses as much as possible, to strive for success once, and to win with the least effort. Behemoth died, and the ultimate nine-headed monster also fell under the guns of the people. One third of the mission has been completed, and it has moved one step closer to the goal of removing the first seal of the "Dead Scepter".
At the end of March, news came from the Church of Light that in order to give full play to the subjective initiative of the professional players of Light and to more effectively compete with the "Resistance Alliance", the internal management organization of the Church of Light was adjusted, and twelve Knights of Light and twelve Cardinals of White were selected. A total of twenty-four of the most powerful and influential players formed the Senate, officially taking over the work of some of the NPCs of Light, and more involved in the management of the daily affairs of the Church of Light, and establishing a more flexible and flexible management mechanism. Several top players such as Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, Angels on Earth, and Real Madrid should definitely be selected, and what made Afeng even more depressed was that it was said that in order to take care of those players who changed their jobs, as one of the best, Hua Mantian was also very likely to occupy a seat as a senator, thereby obtaining a higher status, and it would be even more difficult to completely defeat him.
Shortly after this news was disclosed, the undead artifact "Death's Control", which had been silent for a long time, finally showed signs of existence - I received a message from an unknown player, inviting me to bring the light artifact "Eye of Glory" to the "Peace Exchange" in Peace City on the northern continent at noon tomorrow, and enter a private room that has been reserved to discuss the "artifact exchange". Even though this news came too abruptly, it might just be a prank by a "career person", but out of a strong desire to have a pair of artifact gloves, I was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and the location chosen by the other party was the northern continent where both the light and dark forces were relatively weak, and it was the most convenient "exchange" for safe transactions, which seemed to show the sincerity of conducting "artifact exchange".
I arrived at the Peace Exchange at the appointed time and came to the door of the private room that had been . I inserted my "Tianxia Card" to prove my identity, entered the password left for me, and successfully opened the door of the private room. I finally put down my heart that had been hanging in the air, and further confirmed the sincerity of the other party. Maybe he really wanted to exchange artifacts with me. After all, booking such a private room that absolutely guaranteed the safety of the transaction was also a considerable expense. If it was a prank, it should not be unnecessary to spend this unnecessary expense.
I opened the door and saw someone sitting in the room, drinking coffee. When he saw me come in, he immediately stood up and smiled at me. It was a familiar face. "Hello, Ah Dai, I'm glad you can come to the appointment, but I really don't want to see you!"
