Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 105: Unicorn's Counterattack
Storm VII's gaze turned to the little white dragon who was nestling beside Xiaoyue. He looked at him carefully. Perhaps out of his instinctive fear of those in higher positions, the little white dragon unconsciously lowered his head deeply, bent his limbs slightly, and assumed a posture of respect and submission.
"Well, this white dragon horse has grown quite well and has indeed reached the requirements to evolve into a unicorn. But I wonder if you intend to follow the normal procedures and complete the trial tasks step by step, or if you intend to use a quick method and take greater risks to get it through the trial and evolve into a unicorn as soon as possible?"
Hearing what Baofeng VII said, Xiaoyue's face immediately showed a surprised expression. She has always liked to take risks and act unconventionally. She is particularly interested in those difficult and challenging tasks. As long as there is a possibility of participating, she will never let it go easily. Originally, according to the regulations of the trial task, it is likely that it will take some time for Xiaobailong to successfully evolve into a ninth-level upper-level unicorn. Now that there is a chance to complete it quickly, it is definitely what she wants. After all, in order for Xiaobailong to evolve into a unicorn, she has never given up for nearly two years. She is already a seventh-level sky knight, but she doesn't ride a fifth-level pet. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can do this. Today, her strength has fallen behind a lot, and she can't even reach the average strength. It's really hard for her patience and perseverance.
"Respected Storm Seven, before we make a choice, can you explain to us the difference between the so-called normal procedure and the quick method, and what are the specific conditions and requirements?" A Feng acted very calmly, and patted Xiao Yue who was a little eager to try. Don't rush to make a decision, figure out the details before making plans.
"Generally, the evolution trial of the White Dragon Horse requires two tasks to be completed. But you just happened to help me repel the attack of the Light Unicorn, and there were dark professional players participating in it, which met the conditions and activated the hidden evolution trial task, and got a chance to evolve into a unicorn once. Of course, the difficulty of the task is also very great and not easy to complete. Due to regulations, I cannot disclose the specific content of the trial task to you before you make a choice. But you can rest assured that even if the task fails, it will only delay a little time at most, and there will be no substantial loss. As long as you find the teleportation scroll of the 'Tianhe Secret Land', you can continue to come to carry out the White Dragon Horse Trial Task."
It's like this again. It seems to have become a common trick of the system when setting tasks. You have to make a choice first before you can know the specific content of the task, which is equivalent to adding a layer of difficulty from the beginning. Risks and opportunities coexist, and it depends on the courage of the person involved. However, this time the Wind Unicorn King finally showed some kindness and told us the consequences of failure in advance. At least we don't have to worry about causing more serious consequences.
The three of us had a brief discussion. Since this matter concerned Xiaoyue's vital interests, her attitude was naturally the main basis for the choice. Her reason for insisting on choosing the quick method was simple and direct. She said that she had confidence in the strength of Afeng and me, and she simply rejected my and Afeng's advice to think carefully again. We quickly reached a consensus and made a decision.
"Very good, the three of you are indeed true warriors, messengers sent by the heavens to help our wind unicorn clan escape the crisis." Hearing our reply that we were willing to accept the test of the hidden trial mission, Storm VII nodded with satisfaction. However, his tone became heavier and heavier, "The unicorn clan is divided into two major branches, the wind unicorns and the light unicorns. The 'Sky River Secret Land' is the holy land of our unicorn clan. The 'Sky River' located in the center of the secret land is the 'mother river' that gave birth to us. It has always been occupied by our wind unicorns and light unicorns, each half, and the overall number and strength are balanced. No one can suppress the other and gain the upper hand. Not long after you entered the 'Sky River Secret Land', you witnessed and participated in a fierce war. You may think that this is a place of frequent wars. In fact, a few years ago, the 'Sky River Secret Land' was still a peaceful and tranquil paradise. Although the relationship between our wind unicorns and light unicorns cannot be called friendly, we can also coexist peacefully and non-aggression. It is not the hostile relationship like it is now."
"The culprit that brought disaster to our peaceful life is an organization called the 'Church of Light'. Their ninth-level professional Paladins of Light all use Unicorns of Light as mounts. The reason for invading the 'Secret Land of the Sky River' is that with the development of the profession, the size of the Paladin Corps of Light will continue to expand, and the demand for Unicorns of Light will become greater and greater. In order to avoid insufficient use in the future, the population of Unicorns of Light must be increased, which requires the Unicorns of Light to occupy and control a larger sphere of influence, and also to gain the dominance of 'Sky River'. Naturally, we, the Wind Unicorns, are unwilling to give up our inherent interests. Therefore, they sent people to lobby and stir up the ambition of the contemporary light unicorn king William IV, supporting the light unicorns to launch a war with us. Although according to the rules, the Church of Light, as an external force, cannot directly intervene in the civil war between our two unicorns, they rely on the power of the gods in the divine world "Heaven" as a backing, and under the pretext of protecting the light unicorns that are directly related to their interests from being harmed and maintaining the normal development of the entire population, they pray for the help of the angels, sacrificed a lot of light unicorns, gathered their soul energy, forcibly broke through the space barrier, and set up a "Tianhe Secret Land" that is connected to the human world. Then they mobilized people to invade here, secretly built camps, and took a small but geographically important territory under their direct control, not allowing us wind unicorns to get involved, indirectly helping the light unicorns expand their sphere of influence. At the same time, they continued to create trouble, tied down our manpower, and created more opportunities for the light unicorns to attack, weakening or even defeating us wind unicorns. Due to the rules, we could not directly launch a counterattack against the Church of Light. With their cooperation, we were caught off guard and suffered several heavy losses in succession. And when the light unicorns were trapped When things are not going well for them, they can flee to the camp of the Church of Light to avoid our pursuit, making it impossible for us to win a decisive victory in the battle. Gradually, they were forced to fall behind, allowing the Light Unicorn Tribe to seize a lot of territory, and even the control of half of the 'Sky River' was impacted. The development of the entire Wind Unicorn Tribe has shown a trend of decline. The battle you witnessed before was because of the indirect containment of the Church of Light, so we had to fight with a small number of people, and even the reinforcements could not arrive in time. If you had not helped me in time to resist the attack of William IV, the consequences would be disastrous. "
I never thought that the trial task of the wind-type white dragon horse evolving into a unicorn could actually be related to the Church of Light. It seems that we are asked to help the weak wind-type unicorns to resist the shameless aggression of the Church of Light. However, according to Baofeng VII, since the Church of Light has built a camp in the "Tianhe Secret Land", it is estimated that there will not be 30 to 50 NPCs stationed there, and they cannot be too weak to deal with the upper-level unicorns of level 9. If we are expected to deal with the forces of the Church of Light, such a high-difficulty trial task will be impossible to complete.
"So what you mean is that you want us to fight against or even eliminate the forces of the Church of Light that have invaded the 'Tianhe Secret Land'? If it were in the human world, we could call on more friends to help, and perhaps it would be possible to do it. However, according to the regulations of the trial mission, there are only three of us here. Unless we are allowed to find reinforcements, we may not have enough ability to deal with the Church of Light." This time, Xiaoyue couldn't hold back. It seemed that she was also aware of the power comparison between the enemy and us, and she was a little anxious.
Storm VII shook his head. "Don't worry too much. There are at least hundreds of people from the Church of Light stationed in the 'Sky River Secret Land', most of whom are silver-robed bishops and light phantom knights. There are only three of you. If you confront them head-on, you will definitely not stand a chance of winning. They would not set up such a trial task that is impossible to complete . I just ask you to find a way to cover the White Dragon Horse to destroy the teleportation array set up by the Church of Light to connect to the human world and cut off their connection with the 'Sky River Secret Land'. Without the restraint of the Church of Light, the Unicorns of Light alone will definitely not be able to defend the extra territory they have occupied. We can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and recapture the occupied territory. Even if the Church of Light makes a comeback in the future, we will have to sacrifice another batch of Unicorns of Light. Moreover, after this lesson, we are prepared and have formulated corresponding countermeasures in advance. If they want to suppress us again, it will not be so easy to succeed."
The three of us looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Although we were not required to confront the invading forces of the Church of Light head-on, the teleportation array has always been a key area that needs to be heavily guarded. To reach there, we must break through the enemy's layers of blockade. According to Storm VII's description, there are more than a hundred NPCs of light, most of whom are silver-robed bishops and light phantom knights, which means that there may be ninth-level professionals. Even if I just want to get through, it will probably take some trouble and may not be possible. The little white dragon is just a weak fifth-level magic pet. It is so difficult to cover it and safely reach the teleportation array that I can't imagine it.
"In order to help you complete the task better and also let the White Dragon Horse acquire the ability to destroy the teleportation array, I can arrange for the White Dragon Horse to bathe in the 'Sky River' in advance, to initially transform its physique and temporarily upgrade its strength to the seventh-level upper stage. At the same time, I will use the secret method passed down by successive generations of wind-type unicorn kings to trigger the original power of the 'Sky River', giving it a special ability of 'self-destruction', and then let it swallow a sacred object of our wind-type unicorn tribe, the 'Holy Pearl of Wind', which can increase the power of the self-destruction by more than a hundred times. As long as you stand on the teleportation array and launch the 'self-destruction', it is guaranteed to destroy the teleportation array in one fell swoop. If you successfully destroy the teleportation array and complete the trial task, the White Dragon Horse will be resurrected in the 'Sky River', and after seven days of bathing and tempering, it will be able to be reborn and evolve into a If you fail, you will still be restored to the original level 5 strength, and can only wait for the next time to start the trial again. In addition, I would like to remind you that once you swallow the "Sacred Pearl of Wind", you will only have twelve hours at most. At that time, no matter where you are, it will explode by itself and blow the White Dragon Horse to pieces. Therefore, you must hurry up and do everything you can to create opportunities for the White Dragon Horse to break in, so as to avoid encountering accidents on the road and losing the opportunity too early. Of course, in order to facilitate your actions, I will lead my men to take the initiative to attack the Light Unicorn to attract the attention of the Light Forces, so that they can't concentrate all their efforts to deal with you. Within the scope allowed by the rules, this is the only action I can do to cooperate with you."
"When will the White Dragon Horse enter the 'Milky Way' to bathe?" After learning some more details, Afeng finally asked about the time when the action would begin.
"Let's start now. It will take six hours to transform your physique, during which you can do whatever you want. We will meet here, and then you will officially start the twelve-hour 'self-destruct counterattack plan'." Storm VII nodded at the Little White Dragon, who looked at Xiaoyue first, probably after getting permission, and followed Storm VII away, starting the most critical challenge in its growth process.
Taking advantage of this time, I summoned Feiying and a group of ghost kings according to the coordinates of the Church of Light camp given by Baofeng VII, and sneaked over to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. The Church of Light has set up a total of eleven camps in the "Tianhe Secret Land", which are widely distributed. In addition to the main camp with a teleportation array, the other ten camps are set up to effectively intercept and contain the actions of wind unicorns. Wind unicorns are strictly prohibited from entering the sphere of influence. The NPC of Light has set up many boundary markers at the border of the camp, and has continuously expanded the scope according to the situation, and arranged a protective barrier to trap those wind unicorns that accidentally invaded, so as to buy time for the actions of the unicorns of light. However, as long as the teleportation array is destroyed, all the NPCs of Light will lose their foothold in the "Tianhe Secret Land" and will forcibly withdraw from here with the disappearance of the teleportation array, and will no longer be able to intervene in the dispute between the wind and light unicorns.
Probably because there is no need to worry about being attacked by wind unicorns, there are not too many NPCs of light stationed in the "Sky River Secret Land". More than 100 people are stationed in 11 camps, and their main responsibilities are to move boundary markers and expand the protective barrier. It is far less heavily guarded than the cathedral in the human world. However, each camp is guarded by at least one cardinal and a paladin of light, commanding about ten level 8 NPCs. In particular, the main camp that controls the teleportation array has more than 30 NPCs stationed. With the existence of the protective barrier, it is impossible to sneak in secretly, and you can only force your way in. If an accident occurs, the camps should be able to support each other. With the strength of the three of us and only a dozen hours, we can only outsmart them and absolutely cannot defeat them.
While scouting the enemy, I naturally need to constantly activate the "Touch of Death" to absorb spiritual power and summon more undead minions to help. If the health is not enough, I will transform into a bat and use the "Bloodsucking" skill on Afeng and Xiaoyue to supplement it. The main purpose is to harass and contain the enemy, not to confront them head-on, so the main force is still the Abyss Undead. The surprise attacks of the Ground Night Shadow and the Climbing Night Shadow, and the minefields laid by the jellyfish can all cause them some trouble. No matter how much it costs, as long as we can create an opportunity for the little white dragon horse to break into the teleportation array area alive, it will be our victory.
Six hours later, Storm VII returned the little white dragon to us as promised, and the trial mission officially began. Its appearance had not changed much, but it was one size bigger, stronger, and ran faster. It had also swallowed a "Holy Wind Pearl" in its stomach, like a powerful bomb, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the teleportation array.
The wind unicorns had already assembled, and under the leadership of Storm VII, they launched a counterattack against the light unicorns. The NPCs in the several light church camps close to the war zone quickly assembled, paying attention to the development of the war, and ready to help the light unicorns escape into the camps for refuge.
We also took the opportunity to attack, but in order to paralyze the enemy, we did not attack the main camp at the beginning, but chose a branch camp, assembled a part of the ground night shadows, and repeatedly attacked the protective barrier. When the light NPCs came to counterattack, we quickly dived underground and changed to other directions to continue to attack. The light NPCs suffered from their small numbers. They had to chase the ground night shadows and run around, but they could not accurately judge and grasp the attack position of the ground night shadows. Their counterattack or defense was not very effective.
Under the continuous attack, the camp's protective barrier could not withstand it, and was constantly broken by the ground-walking night shadows. Then another group of ground-walking night shadows and crouching night shadows immediately sneaked into the camp, harassing the light NPCs while destroying the buildings in the camp. Of course, these are all harassment actions, and the purpose is not to kill the enemy. The NPCs stationed in the "Tianhe Secret Land" by the Church of Light are all elite NPCs, and there are two level 9 NPCs in charge. I may be able to kill a few of them, but I will definitely suffer a lot of losses. The focus of this operation is the main camp guarded by four level 9 and thirty or forty level 8 NPCs. Only then will we need to make a full effort to strive for Xiaobailongma to succeed.
While directing my hands to harass the enemy, I was still seizing the opportunity to summon more undead. The previous designs were just to try to contain the troops of the sub-camps and conceal our true intentions. To cover the little white dragon's entry into the main camp and safely reach the teleportation array, we still have to rely on our strength to force our way in. It can neither burrow underground nor fly into the sky, nor can it be invisible and sneak. The target is too obvious. The difficulty of completing the task is probably greater than destroying the teleportation array myself.
