Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 109: Heavy Setback
Without time, it is difficult to seize opportunities. Holy Heaven, Olympia, and even Supreme Honor were all defeated by me before, and they know my strengths and weaknesses in battle very well. The three of them joined forces to press forward step by step, encircle and intercept, and attack with all their might, just to limit my performance and put me to death as soon as possible - this is in the "Castle of Mind", the gathering place of the Dark Council, it is not under their jurisdiction, and as foreign invaders, they have no right to capture us alive.
I cast the magic of "sacrifice" to let the bone giant share the damage I suffered. I turned into a bat and flew all over the field to escape the pursuit of the three of them, and tried to find an opportunity to counterattack. Unfortunately, the tall tree attracts the wind. I, who have been the most popular and famous recently, have become the focus of the invading light players. As long as I stop for a moment, I will be attacked by nearby enemies. The treatment I receive is even more grand than that of the three speakers, Long Xing Tianxia and Da Mo Fei Ying. It is obvious that there is a long-term arrangement and a battle strategy. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It is not so easy to be the first bird to stand out.
I had to run for my life without even a moment to breathe. I, who was usually quite polite, couldn't help but curse the "Three Character Classic" in my heart. Three against one became everyone shouting and beating. It was really too bullying. I was fighting for my life, and I was unwilling to accept the fate of being killed by them. However, the three undead subordinates were all closely watched. If I relied on my own strength, even if I found an opportunity to launch a surprise attack, I would not have enough time to pursue and kill the opponent with so many enemies around. I must have the support and cooperation of my companions. I sprayed several groups of blood mist, took the opportunity to transform back to my body, and shouted to Afeng through the combat communication channel, "I'll go find you." With the tacit understanding between the two of us, he should be able to understand the meaning of these four words. With just a little delay, the blood mist was all dispelled, and I was hit by two "Great Saint Spear Stabs". If I was not still under the effect of "sacrifice", my injuries would definitely not be too light.
Unlike me, Afeng, who also came from the Tongxin League, did not perform well in the Dark Council. Although he was able to keep his position as a director for more than two-thirds of the months, he did not show any outstanding personal combat power or strategic planning. Most of the time, he was just elected and was a marginal role in the power structure that did not attract much attention. Therefore, compared with Long Xing Tianxia and Desert Eagle, although Afeng was also besieged by several light players, he was not very powerful. He only defended and did not attack, and he did his best to defend, so he did not fail for a while.
I continued to transform into a bat, flying around the castle, seemingly aimlessly, just trying to save my life, but in fact I circled around Afeng a few more times. Looking at his actions, he was slowly retreating towards the cardinals in white, and he really understood my intention and was ready to cooperate with my actions, trying to kill the two light players and get back some of his capital.
The Bone Giant and Taotao were too obvious targets, and they were the target of public criticism. In order to avoid alerting the Light players, it was inconvenient to mobilize them, so the only one who could be used was Saman. I pretended to be overwhelmed by the frequent attacks, and let it follow me around and spit out blood mist to cover my traces and buy a little breathing space. After such a pretense, when the Light players got used to this situation and their vigilance was slightly reduced, I suddenly spent my mental energy to continuously spit out a large amount of blood mist in multiple directions, confusing their vision for a short time, and took the opportunity to rush to the vicinity of Afeng. Saman used "Blood Evil" twice in succession to trap the two Light Knights who were pestering Afeng. Afeng took the opportunity to escape, urged the velociraptor, and rushed to a white cardinal not far away.
The surprise attack was successful, but the cardinal in white was quite strong and his reaction was also quick. The first round of attack only broke the "holy light barrier" that protected his body. If there was a slight delay, he would get support from his companions nearby, and it would be difficult to kill him. However, I had already flown behind the cardinal in white, changed back to my original form, and stood on the ground. He noticed something was wrong and looked back in amazement. I had already taken out the "shadow dagger" from my arms, rushed forward quickly, performed a "sneak attack", and then stabbed him several times. I was a part-time thief, much more agile than him, and I stuck him in front of me to engage in hand-to-hand combat. If he didn't get rescued by external forces, he would never be able to escape.
Of course, even if the "holy light barrier" was broken, he still had several other auxiliary magics working, and his equipment was not bad. With my physical attack power, I was holding only a small dagger of the heavenly weapon level, so it was unlikely to stab him to death in a short time. A Feng turned around and blocked the light player who was about to come to support, and the real killer was Shaman, who flew over and spurted out another "blood evil" at the staggering and retreating white-robed cardinal, and then turned into a human form, and joined hands with me to chase and kill him, not caring about himself at all, and doing his best to kill him.
The Cardinal in White died, and the Shaman who had completed the task also used up his last breath in the hail of bullets in order to cover my escape. Afeng was also besieged by many people at this time, and there was no chance for him to cooperate with me. I also suffered several injuries in the process of chasing the Cardinal in White. If it weren't for the "sacrifice" magic that shared 80% of the damage, I would have collapsed long ago. There are fewer and fewer dark councilors who are still resisting, and those who survived are just struggling to survive. The end of annihilation is not far away, but I only killed one light player, and it was thanks to Afeng's help. In fact, I can only get half of it. I am not satisfied with this result. I have to kill one more to make it count.
It seems hopeless, but I already have a plan. The reason why I want to summon the tall and clumsy bone giant is not only because it is suitable to be the object of "sacrifice", but also because it also has a killer move that can be used for desperate efforts at the last moment. Unlike the bone dragon, the bone giant can't fly, can't spray dragon flames, and has no other skills. It can only grab the club and make simple swings, but it has a move that can be used for desperate efforts after it is red-eyed. Although it is not a skill and has no effect of increasing the attack power, using it unexpectedly in such an occasion may be able to fulfill my wish.
After receiving the order to launch a counterattack, the bone giant habitually raised his head and roared. Before he could open his mouth, I immediately suppressed him forcefully. He hadn't started to act yet, but he had already roared like this. He didn't have the killing power of a "lion's roar". It was a waste of energy. Wouldn't it be a case of trying to cover up one's own faults and attract more attention? The bone giant was a big, stupid guy. Before I tamed him, I thought this habit was good. But once I used it, it became a bit troublesome. When I arranged for him to be used, I had to remind him.
Without the necromancer by my side, there was no benefit in simply killing the summoned undead. It seemed that the light players were not willing to do this hard work, so they only arranged a few light angels to fly up and down and fight with the bone giant. Because I suppressed my instincts, I was distracted and the light angel hit my head hard. The bone giant couldn't help but stagger, and then began to spin. The body didn't turn very fast, and the steps seemed a little messy, as if it was drunk, and it didn't look like it was going to perform any powerful moves. I was confused by this move at the beginning, and one of my bone dragons almost suffered a big loss.
No matter what the state of the bone giant is, as long as it is not dead, the enemy will not show mercy. Several light angels rushed forward and punched it like rain, continuing to launch a fierce attack to kill it. The bone giant neither dodged nor parried, but just hooked his head and blocked his chest, protecting several vital parts, and spinning on his own, allowing the light angels to beat him for a while. He was already seriously injured and some of him could not hold on. Now it is even worse. He is about to die from serious injuries, but suddenly stopped spinning. According to the target I selected, he rushed over. Along the way, he violently knocked away several light knights and angels who were blocking the way, and finally bumped into a cardinal in white. Not only did he break the "holy light barrier" he used to protect his body, but he also knocked him out. While his figure was still in the air and had not yet gotten far, the bone giant had already roared, raised the club in his hand, and swung it with all his strength, instantly hitting the body of the white-robed cardinal. With a loud bang, the white-robed cardinal suddenly accelerated and flew out, turning around and falling heavily to the ground in the distance.
Because of several interceptions along the way, the force weakened a little when forcibly breaking through, and the bone giant's spinning attack might not be able to kill the White Cardinal in good condition. I was also watched more closely by the Supreme Honor and had no chance to attack again. But there was also the clever Taotao. At the beginning of the battle, while I distracted the attention of the light players, it kept fighting in the corners to preserve its strength and did not suffer fatal injuries, so it could still fight. The bone giant's powerful attack had already planned where to send the White Cardinal to fly. Taotao happened to escape there and immediately rushed forward to ravage him. The seriously injured White Cardinal had no chance to struggle at all, and became a dead soul under the "Dragon Claw Hand".
The Bone Giant had no chance to attack again. After knocking the Cardinal in White away, he was hit several more times. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground and died. After Tao Tao successfully killed the Cardinal in White, he was surrounded and sacrificed by the fists and feet of several Angels of Light. I had already used all my means, and my men were all dead and I was unable to fight back. I insisted on flying for a while, in order to dodge the attacks of other Light players, but Supreme Honor still took advantage of him. He seized the opportunity and activated the "Holy Cross" to successfully kill me.
In my memory, it seemed to be the second time I entered the "Resurrection Corridor". I was in a void and could only wait alone. I was really not used to this feeling of doing nothing. After being angry, I had to start thinking about the series of consequences caused by this. I was afraid that an unprecedented storm was waiting for us. This time, the "Resistance Alliance" was in trouble. There was a traitor in the board of directors. Not only was the management organization wiped out, but even the headquarters "Mind Castle" could not be saved. The actual loss was not great - the death of personnel was just staying in the "Resurrection Corridor" for six hours, and the role of the "Mind Castle" was just a place for meetings and convenient for meetings and contacts between directors. It was not an indispensable place. Losing it would only make it a little troublesome to contact. However, as the nominal headquarters of the "Resistance Alliance" granted by the system, the symbolic significance of the "Mind Castle" is far greater than its actual value. It is equivalent to our face, which has now been stripped by the enemy. The "Resistance Alliance", especially our 29 directors of the responsible area, have lost face, not to mention the responsibility. If things go wrong, they may all be deposed by the system and a new group of people may be selected to replace them.
As the speaker, Long Xing Tian Xia cannot escape the blame for such a big accident. The two vice speakers, Desert Eagle and Light Dance Flying, may have also made mistakes in their oversight, especially Desert Eagle - the traitor Sha Hai was not the first batch of elders who passed the strict review of the "Resistance Alliance". It was Bisat, who was recommended by him, who guaranteed his entry into the alliance more than a year ago. He has to bear part of the joint responsibility, and his fault is probably not much lighter than Long Xing Tian Xia. The two strongest competitors are both hurt this time, and no one can get away with it. Several other powerful players who are capable of forming a cabinet were also implicated this time. In comparison, Qiu Shui Chang Tian may have a little chance, but it's just a little - his kitchen is still not enough to convince the public, and he may not be qualified to lead the "Resistance Alliance". Alas, I don't know what kind of punishment the system will make. The turmoil or even a major change in the top leadership can easily cause a chain reaction and may cause other crises. It's really worrying.
After resurrection, holding a glimmer of hope, I rushed outside the station and tried to summon the "Mind Castle", but there was no response. It must have been destroyed by the light players. After two brilliant victories in a row, the Church of Light naturally would not miss such a good opportunity for publicity. Under their conscious dissemination and transmission, the "World" was already in a state of uproar. First, they won the "Light Holy War" against the Sahara Mercenaries, and then they surrounded and suppressed the Dark Council of the "Resistance Alliance" and destroyed the headquarters "Mind Castle". The light NPCs and players attacked on two fronts and achieved impressive results, sweeping away the previous period of decline, which really boosted their prestige and destroyed our morale. The situation was quite unfavorable for the "Resistance Alliance".
Long Xing Tian Xia has already issued a notice. According to the system's emergency notification, the twenty-nine of us are invited to gather in the City Lord's Mansion in Beijing to discuss and report the details and opinions on the traitor who infiltrated the council and the loss of the "Mind Castle" - the organizers are located in three continents, and players from different continents cannot talk directly to each other, so it is inconvenient to contact each other. We must get together to discuss important matters. Without the "Mind Castle" that can be freely entered and exited at any time and anywhere, we can only be more troublesome and run more errands.
At the appointed time, the twenty-nine directors gathered in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion. Almost all of them were well-known local tyrants and heroes (heroines). They were usually arrogant and proud, but after suffering a setback, their faces were filled with resentment and embarrassment, and also with a heavy look, as if they were worried about the unknown future. Every director who came in was silent, sitting quietly by the side, thinking deeply, and there was no whispering or talking among themselves as was common in previous gatherings.
When all the people arrived, Long Xingtianxia, the speaker, made a speech first. He admitted that there were serious mistakes in his work, and that a traitor had sneaked into the council, which led to this failure. He had an unshirkable responsibility and took the initiative to resign from the position of speaker and find another person to take the position, so as to lead the " Resistance Alliance" to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, get out of the trough, and better fight against the Church of Light. With his statement, the Desert Eagle naturally couldn't sit still. He admitted his responsibility for negligence due to poor supervision and proposed to resign from the position of vice speaker. Then Qingwu Feiyang also resigned. As the person directly responsible, Bisat fabricated many charges for himself, such as not knowing people well, and made a profound review, claiming that he had no face to stay in the council.
They took turns speaking and complementing each other, and initially sorted out the development of Shahai - he was originally just an unknown magic knight in the southern continent. With a little luck, he and a few friends established a small mercenary group of 100 people. Because of the lack of expert players to join and the lack of strong people behind, the early business was quite bleak, and it was slow to develop into a medium-sized mercenary group. Until later, when the "Resistance Alliance" expanded vigorously, Bisat saw that his profession was a magic knight and the leader of a mercenary group, and took the initiative to invite him to join. The two hit it off and climbed up Bisat's way. Under the care of the Desert Eagle, they got the opportunity to develop. During this period, the growth and development of Shahai, including the Sahara Mercenary Group, can be said to be nothing suspicious, and there is absolutely no sign of the intervention of the light forces. Even half a year ago, Sahara successfully became a medium-sized mercenary group, and Shahai's ambitions expanded rapidly, intending to get involved in the position of sorting, acting radically and regardless of the consequences. Everyone thought that he was just eager to succeed, a little impatient for quick success and lacked consideration, but they did not expect that he would be a spy of the Church of Light, harboring evil intentions and causing such a big mess.
After several hours of discussion, we finally drafted a plan to report the incident to the system, detailing the causes and consequences of the incident, as well as the faults and responsibilities of the relevant personnel, and are waiting for the system's approval. As for other related matters, since the current sorting committee may experience major personnel changes or even disintegration, we will not discuss them for the time being, and will discuss and resolve them after the new management agency is determined.
The atmosphere in the conference room was still very depressing. People were either worried or had a hint of expectation. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the result. The system was very efficient. For five-star expedited proposals like this, the approval would usually be given in no more than an hour.
"Repairing one's crime while making amends for one's crime!" The system finally issued its opinion on how to deal with the matter. Knowing that everyone was eager to know the result, Long Xingtian read it out immediately without even having time to read it himself.
