Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 113 Smuggling
Some are happy, some are sad. The Church of Light is not a pushover. We can manipulate them. Some succeed, but there will be losers who fail to seize the opportunity. Nine of the fourteen churches attacked were destroyed. In addition to the three marginal directors who were originally used to lure the enemy to sacrifice, two battlefields and five directors also suffered setbacks and failed to successfully conquer the target, losing the opportunity to "redeem meritorious service". However, several backbones such as Desert Eagle, Light Dance and Qiu Shui Chang Tian successfully completed their tasks. The three chairmen all stayed in office, and the seventeen directors also withstood the test of this level and were able to continue to stay in office. Finally, we saved a little face and did not let the Church of Light destroy the management organization of the "Resistance Alliance".
However, due to the fact that the NPCs in the Church of Light were on guard in advance, the battle was difficult and the "holy disk" could not be destroyed in time. Some dark professional players unfortunately died under the cover of holy light, which more or less damaged their basic mental strength. Besides regret, they could not help but feel a little scared. Attacking the church is still a high-risk action for most players, and it should not be attempted lightly.
On the same day, war broke out in all four continents. Fourteen churches and the NPC garrison at the entrance of the "Death Canyon" were attacked, a military camp and nine churches were completely destroyed, and the full-scale counterattack of the "Resistance Alliance" also gave the Church of Light a heavy slap in the face. The strongest point has the weakest point. The existence of many NPCs can be said to be an important guarantee for the Church of Light to maintain its strong position, but their distribution is too loose, and they stick to the rules and cannot adjust the layout in time according to the changes in the situation, which also gives us many opportunities to attack. In fact, this is also a branch task related to the ultimate showdown between the two camps of light and darkness. Only when there is no Cathedral of Light in the other three continents except the Western Continent, can it be considered a condition for starting the ultimate showdown.
Of course, the series of achievements we have made in succession to recover the impact of losing the "Castle of Mind" is only the first step of "making meritorious contributions while atoning for our crimes", which gives us, the current directors, a step to avoid being dismissed immediately. It is now late October, and there are only a few days left in our term. If we want to completely offset the negative evaluations, win the competition with those opposition members, and strive to continue to retain the qualifications of directors next month, we need to seize the remaining days to earn as many merits as possible.
Suffering such heavy losses, the Church of Light had to launch the "Emergency Response Act". A large amount of military funds were allocated, and a large number of NPCs were sent to temporarily garrison the cathedrals, strengthening the defense there to prevent us from continuing to pursue the victory and looking for opportunities to destroy the remaining churches. The enemy was too strong and there was no way to launch attacks on the churches. In order to earn more merits and survive this crisis of trust, the 20 temporary directors had to adopt the most bloody and brutal, but also the simplest and most direct method - wantonly killing players from the opposing camp. In the face of interests, no human feelings or morality were taken into consideration. They either gathered to beat up or attacked secretly. As long as there was a chance, they would never let it go easily. Wherever each director went, the light players in that place were immediately in danger and became prey. Except for those who were more clever and quick to dodge, as long as they reacted a little slower, they would probably become ghosts under the knife, which made our merits.
In the violent conflict between the light and dark camps, as long as no innocent third parties are involved, the neutral NPCs will not intervene. The Qinglong City massacre, the Flowing Cloud City roundup, the Waterfall City massacres... Hundreds of light players active in the three continents encountered the first professional purge organized by players in "Tianxia" so far.
Originally, only a few directors initiated the movement. As it was effective, no one wanted to lag behind. As a result, it was quickly adopted by more directors, and even extended to members of the opposition alliance who were interested in running for directors. The momentum was getting bigger and bigger. In order to protect my future in the Dark Council, I, a notorious devil, could no longer remain indifferent. I had to stay in the human world for a while, wielding the butcher knife and embarking on the road of killing. I didn't have to worry too much about being surrounded when I lay in ambush, and even sneaked into the Western Continent several times to kill those light players. In order to weaken their resistance consciousness, I successfully established the invincible image of "invincible devil", which was convenient for me to act. In the battle, I fully exerted the deterrent effect of "swallowing whole" of the ground-walking night shadow, which made many light players, especially female players, "change color when talking about idiots", and even fled at the news, which further contributed to my bad reputation.
At this point, the struggle that was originally mainly between the light NPCs and the "resistance alliance" players officially expanded to the players of the two camps, and they established direct hatred for each other, pure killing, unwilling revenge, killing, or being killed, because of oneself, or because of friends, the cycle is endless and entangled. There is no peace that does not concern oneself, and there is only naked hatred and disputes. The stage of direct confrontation between the two camps of light and darkness has officially begun.
Finally, I survived the last few days of October. After a lot of killing, while earning merits, all the dark councilors have at least dozens of lives that can be traced, and all of them have become wanted criminals of the Church of Light. And my wanted period has been extended to more than seven months, and there is a trend of becoming a "lifelong wanted criminal". There is no way, who made me too famous, and my glorious image is familiar to many light players. Most of the cases have conclusive evidence and cannot be denied. I committed many crimes, added crimes, and was punished for several crimes. From a brutal thug, I became a "black man" at the level of a murderer. With such a brilliant record, the evaluation given by the system will naturally not be too low. In addition to our twenty "criminal meritorious" councilors who were all able to succeed, even the remaining ten new councilors were elected with high scores, setting the best record for members of the Dark Council in history. It even makes me wonder if the system set up the "Mind Castle" in this way just to wait for it to be destroyed by light players, so as to fulfill their purpose and further promote the actions of our players?
However, it is precisely because of this change that the Light Council under the leadership of the Supreme Honor has begun to play a more important role and stepped onto the forefront of the struggle stage. Through the analysis of the relevant notices of the Church of Light and the intelligence sent back by the insider, it is inferred that the increasingly rigid command structure of the Light NPC will gradually retreat to the second line. In addition to major matters related to the overall situation that must be submitted to the Pope for review and approval, most of the daily affairs will be managed by the Light Council. Its function has transitioned from a deliberative body to a decision-making body with real power, and it has officially confronted our Dark Council. The abilities shown by players who serve as dark councilors and light senators will directly determine the trend of the two major camps of light and dark, which may make the future struggle situation more complicated. After all, the thinking of players is like a wild imagination, with no rules to follow, and is far more difficult to grasp than NPCs.
After finishing these things and securing the position of director, I returned to the "Dead Soul Space" and concentrated on improving my strength to cope with the increasingly fierce struggle. I, a devil, have become the number one public enemy of the light profession, and the people are extremely angry. According to my numerous crimes, the Church of Light has increased the bounty. Every player who successfully kills me can get more than five times, up to ten times the qualification value and merit rewards, depending on the circumstances. Players who have accumulated many kills may even get additional rewards. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. The light players have formed many "hunting teams" to covet and always want to take advantage of me. If I don't want to use my own blood to achieve the reputation of the enemy, I must not relax my own development.
At the same time, I also found Qingwu Feiyang and formally asked her to help me spread the word and act as a middleman to help defeat those undead who were ready to be conquered but difficult to deal with, or to protect the undead wizards to safely cross the Dragon Bone Mountain and reach the Lost Continent for development, and even transfer two "blood changes" as a price in exchange for high-level equipment that increases the upper limit of mental power. In addition to hunting for treasures by yourself and spending money to buy, bartering is also a relatively common form of transaction. This is also a disguised way of doing it. After all, with my abilities, it is much more certain to develop in the "Dead Space" than to spend time fighting for equipment in the human world. And as a reward, every time a deal is negotiated, I will let her enjoy certain benefits for free.
After the attack by Ibola, there were only less than 100 free giants left, except for the 40 or so I had subdued. Perhaps because I had finally found a group of lower-level ninth-level undead that could feed them and were easy to kill, Ibola was too ruthless. In just over a day, he devoured at least 50 of them. No wonder he was given the title of "Public Enemy of the Undead". If there were more of these guys in the "Dead Space", many undead races might lose their living space. The sin of killing is too heavy and will be punished by heaven!
Fortunately, I successfully sealed Ibora, saving the Bone Giants from extermination. After a few days of buffering, the Knights of Destruction did not come to harass them, and their nervous emotions gradually calmed down. The entire population returned to normal, which was convenient for me to subdue them. It took a few more days, using the previous method, to subdue these Bone Giants one by one. The only trouble was the Bone Giant leader, who was initially estimated to have at least the strength of the ninth-level middle level, and there were eight Bone Giant guards guarding him. There was no way to defeat them one by one. Although the ordinary Bone Giants were subdued by me, they still did not dare to attack their leaders, and could only mobilize the Bone Dragon to launch a strong attack. With the help of my continuous "mental attacks", I finally subdued the Bone World leader without harming his life.
This bone giant leader is not from the royal family, but is equivalent to a local lord, and his level is the middle level of level nine. However, as a special undead, his actual level is half a level higher, so it is still a bit difficult to sign a "soul contract". But if you use "blood transformation", it is not impossible to subdue it. I have considered the difficulty of subduing it in advance, and chose the time to enter the halberd near the end of the day, spanning two days, and was able to perform "blood transformation" four times. It took nearly an hour and fifty minutes in total to successfully subdue it, officially annex this bone giant's territory, and own the first base in the Lost Continent.
I have seen how powerful Ibola is. He is at the same level as the Black Bone Dragon, but he was able to resist the siege of one Black Bone Dragon and two White Bone Dragons and still had the upper hand. He had to rely on me to continuously perform "mental attacks" to secretly attack him. He was defeated and I took advantage of the opportunity to subdue him. I couldn't help but be more excited about Wu Ma, who is still just a junior Scorpio Destruction Knight - adding a new attribute through "superpower transformation" and completing the evolution again, but I don't know how powerful he will be.
Staying in the old territory does not have much future. In order to gain better development opportunities, Wu Ma must cross the Dragon Bone Mountain and enter the Lost Continent where food is everywhere to further enhance his strength. However, as a "public enemy of the undead", he cannot reveal his identity in front of other undead. Moreover, Wu Ma is only at the intermediate level of level 8. As long as he approaches a certain range, it is easy for a higher-level bone dragon to sense his presence . He cannot cross the Dragon Bone Mountain like Khufu and his friends, who only need to be careful and have a certain strength to protect themselves from harassment. As long as he is discovered by a bone dragon, he will most likely be besieged and hunted by a group of bone dragons, and he will definitely die without a burial place.
If the "Soul Sealing Card" can seal the subordinates who have been subdued, I will definitely consider sealing Wu Ma inside - with my basic mental strength at this time, it should be a sure thing to deal with an intermediate level 8 target without any mistakes. This is the most convenient way for Wu Ma to cross Dragon Bone Mountain, but it's a pity that the "Soul Sealing Card" is ineffective against the undead who have been subdued, so I can only think of another way.
To ensure Wu Ma's safety, the most important thing is to hide its breath so that it cannot be sensed by higher-level undead creatures. After much deliberation, he also conducted several experiments with dozens of subdued green bone dragons and bone dragons, repeatedly tested the actual effect, and finally determined the only applicable method at the moment - using the "Touch of Death" to wrap Wu Ma up, forming a layer of protective shield, which can greatly reduce its overflowing breath. According to the results of the experiment, as long as it is not witnessed with one's own eyes, the performance of the green bone dragon is basically normal, and the bone dragon at most feels a little abnormal, but it cannot determine the specific reason, and cannot directly sense the existence .
Of course, these are only the two lower-level bone dragons in Dragon Bone Mountain. Above them are the mid-level white bone dragons and the upper-level black bone dragons, which have stronger sensing abilities and may be able to detect the existence of Wu Ma. However, this is the only way I can think of at the moment. Wu Ma has been in a state of malnutrition since he evolved into a primary destruction knight. It has been delayed for several months. I can't delay any longer and can only take the risk of crossing Dragon Bone Mountain. At most, I can put more effort on the crossing route and try to stay away from the white bone dragons, especially the black bone dragons. At the same time, I also brought a shaman, which will spit out a layer of blood mist on the outer layer of the "Touch of Death" protective shield along the way to further hide or confuse the overflowing breath of Wu Ma. Through experiments, this can also play a role. At least it eliminates the anxiety of the bone dragon, and it can no longer detect the abnormal breath of Wu Ma like the green bone dragon. When necessary, you can also spit out "blood evil", and you must not let Wu Ma be discovered by the bone dragons during the crossing.
After a few days of experimenting together, these dozens of bone dragons have adapted to Wu Ma's identity as the "undead public enemy" and are used to getting along with him normally. With everything ready, I finally took the risk of stealing the flow. If it fails, Shaman and I may be able to turn into bats and escape, but Wu Ma will definitely die.
Dozens of bone dragons were arranged to be on guard around to prevent those wandering bone dragons from approaching Wu Ma. They were unpredictable and the most likely to cause unexpected events. When necessary, they could be attacked to attract them. They were also responsible for clearing out other undead animals along the way. No other beings could be allowed to notice Wu Ma. If they found out, Wu Ma would die.
I activated the "Touch of Death" to wrap Wu Ma tightly, and used my best ability to strengthen the protective shield and minimize the breath of Wu Ma. The crossing route I chose was carefully selected by me these days. I kept as far away from the peaks in Longgu Mountain as possible to avoid being noticed by the bone dragons who occupied the mountain. Of course, I didn't dare to fly in the air, so I walked on the ground honestly, relying on the shelter of the rocks and terrain, which would be safer.
The outer area was not difficult, as the nearby undead animals were killed or driven away by several bone dragons, so it was impossible to see Wu Ma. Approaching the central area where bone dragons frequently appeared, the real test was faced. Shaman began to spit blood mist continuously, adding a layer of protection to Wu Ma, hoping to successfully hide the sensing of the white bone dragon and the black bone dragon.
Trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, this is a true portrayal of my current nervous mood. As long as any bone dragon flies low and discovers Wu Ma's existence, a casual shout will probably bring disaster to Wu Ma. I urged the "Touch of Death" to strengthen Wu Ma's protection as much as possible, not daring to relax at all, while using the "Control of Death" to accurately grasp the movements of the bone dragons scattered around. What abnormalities were observed, how to move, whether to kill or expel the undead animals found, whether to lure away a certain approaching bone dragon, all these situations must issue instructions in time and take corresponding actions to ensure the smooth flow of the forward route. As long as he can successfully pass this level, there will be a promising future waiting for Wu Ma!
