Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 160: "Crazy" Revenge
A hero cannot stand against a large number of people. Even under the influence of the 40% increase and decrease of the attack and defense agility attributes of the attacking and defending sides in the meeting hall, top masters such as Holy Heaven, Real Madrid, Lost World, Yamato Spirit, etc. behaved more fiercely, but they could not form effective cooperation with each other and were forced to disperse and fight on their own. Facing the siege of several players who were not much weaker than them under normal circumstances, it was impossible to resist for too long. With the death of Hua Mantian, they were defeated . We concentrated our superior forces and adopted the strategy of defeating them one by one, annihilating the remaining enemies in the meeting hall one by one and completely controlling the meeting hall. However, there is still more than an hour left before the twelve-hour team battle limit. In order to end this team battle in advance and gain more benefits, we must ensure that no defending player sets foot in the first floor hall of the conference hall within the next hour. There are still many enemies distributed in other areas of the base, and they are attacking our defense line more and more frantically, making their last struggle. We have assigned many people to participate in the attack on the conference hall, and the companions responsible for defending the outside line have taken on a lot of pressure. Although we have successfully captured the conference hall, we have not won the final victory in the team battle. It is not a time to sit back and relax. We must be vigilant and resolutely resist the enemy's desperate counterattack.
After only a few brief cheers, we began to prepare for the battle without taking a break. We arranged for some players to go up to the second floor to search and find any hidden enemies. Most of the players rushed out of the meeting hall to participate in the fierce battle outside, helping their companions to resist the enemy's crazy counterattack and prevent them from breaking through the defense line and rushing into the meeting hall. I led the five four-armed giant magicians who had not been sent back to the "Dead Soul Space" and the twenty or so surviving white bone dragons and a group of archers and magicians to guard the door of the meeting hall, building a second line of defense to eliminate the small groups of enemy players who occasionally broke through the outer defense, and prevented them from getting close to the meeting hall and destroying the fruits of our victory.
Although the remaining enemies defending Huadu were unwilling to admit defeat and launched more fierce attacks, the Supreme Honor, Hua Mantian and other enemy leaders had already died in the battle. It can be said that there was no leader and lacked a unified and efficient command. Even if the small-scale attacks succeeded for a while, without the support and assistance of more companions, they did not pose much threat to us in the end and died in the square in front of the conference hall. In the next hour, no enemy member was able to enter the conference hall. We finally won the battle of Huadu, annihilated the leaders of the Bright Senate headed by Supreme Honor, and ended the war ahead of schedule within the prescribed time limit. This victory was enough for our resistance alliance to gain more benefits and higher prestige.
The 25,000 players who participated in the defense of Huadu Station were all masters selected from the allies of the Church of Light and Hua Mantian. Their overall strength was actually similar to ours. With , it was impossible for them to fail in the group battle. However, as the attacker, we had the initiative and could choose tactics and breakthrough points at will, while they could only passively defend in various areas of the station. More importantly, the professional characteristics of the necromancer who could summon a large army of undead to assist in the battle in advance made it possible to turn the impossible into possible. I chose to use the most appropriate pseudo-artifact "Yellow Spring Gate" at the most appropriate time and summoned the most suitable undead army, the six-armed giant magician. At the critical moment, I reversed the situation in one fell swoop and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy who wanted to plot against us, and finally turned the possibility into reality. It was really a bit lucky to say that if it weren't for the help of the "Mountain Collapse and Earth Splitting" forbidden spell-level earth magic circle that gathered the enemies together, I'm afraid that the "Yellow Spring Gate" might not have achieved such a brilliant victory. In addition, the fact that Supreme Honor was successfully killed by Long Xingtianxia with the help of the growing pseudo-artifact "Demon God Realm" dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale. Many old friends may have thought that the game was over and chose to retain their strength. Except for a few of Hua Mantian's direct descendants, not many were willing to use pseudo-artifacts to resist stubbornly, which reduced the difficulty of our attack. Otherwise, if everyone risked their lives and went all out, there would probably be many variables. Perhaps we could still win the final victory, but it would definitely not be as easy as it is now.
The destruction of the Huadu Mercenary Group immediately caused a great uproar in Tianxia, triggering a series of turmoil. Although it was not among the "Top Ten", it was also a veteran and powerful mercenary group. It was a strong competitor for the "Top Ten" in several "Tianxia Hero Conferences". As one of the large mercenary groups with only more than 50,000 people in Tianxia so far, its leader Hua Mantian was also the deputy chairman of the Senate of the Bright Council. This battle can be said to have concentrated almost all the elites of the Church of Light, occupying the geographical advantage, and fighting with the resistance alliance with an equal number of participants, but ended up with such a result. It seems obvious that the strength of the Church of Light cannot match the resistance alliance, which is absolutely beyond the expectations of too many players. In the pre-war survey conducted by Tianmei, most of the senior players believed that being able to raze the Huadu garrison to the ground was the best result we could achieve. Almost no one thought that with 25,000 against 25,000, we could destroy Huadu.
Our alliance of resistance forces was naturally well prepared. We immediately published a number of articles written by some reporters headed by Long Piaopiao in "Tian Media", seizing the opportunity to add fuel to the flames, overwhelming the voices defending the Church of Light with indisputable facts, and vigorously criticizing the fallacy of "a bright world" that the Church of Light has been advocating. We preached that the coalition of dark and neutral professions will win and that coexistence is the mainstream. We dominated public opinion and gained recognition from more and more forces and players, causing the reputation of the Church of Light to fall to the bottom again. In the latest opinion poll conducted by "Tian Media", more forces and players said they were no longer optimistic about them.
On the second day after the Battle of Flower City, the chairman of the Joint Conference of the Neutral Alliance, Fearless Warrior, sent a notice to Long Xing Tianxia on behalf of the Neutral Alliance in the name of the Joint Conference, reiterating the Neutral Alliance's position of being impartial, neutral, and never interfering in the dispute between the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance Forces. As for the fact that Lost World, as a councillor, participated in the defense of Flower City this time, it was indeed his private behavior. The Neutral Alliance was not aware of it in advance, and would not support his move. After all, the Neutral Alliance is just an organization with mercenary groups as units and a loose alliance nature. It has just been established, and many rules and regulations are not clear and perfect. The Joint Conference is not as good as the Dark Council and the Light Senate, lacking the authority it should have, and lacking effective constraints on the behavior of individual players. For a while, it is inevitable that there will be some actions that are easy to be misunderstood. Please forgive us. In the future, they will definitely strengthen management, at least to ensure that the councillors of the Joint Conference will not directly participate in the struggle between the two camps, and then strive to pass relevant bills to strengthen the binding effect on all members. No matter what the Neutral Alliance had in mind before, whether it was intended to test us or was truly innocent, after this battle, they should reconsider their plans. Before the situation takes a new turn, they probably won't do anything too outrageous to test our attitude.
The biggest beneficiary of the destruction of Huadu was the resistance alliance, and the happiest person was naturally Afeng, who finally got what he wanted and won a landmark victory over Hua|Hua|Gongzi. Losing the mercenary group that he had been working hard to develop and put almost all his efforts into was definitely a heavy blow to Hua Mantian, a proud and arrogant rich boy. Although he might not be unable to recover from this, he would definitely feel frustrated and defeated, and he would probably not be in such a good mood as before. Without Huadu as a backing, his future development would definitely be affected , and he might even lose his position as the vice president of the Guangming Senate, which would make it easier for Afeng to make him accomplish nothing in "Tianxia".
Although many of the players killed in the attack and defense of the meeting hall were of neutral professions, and there were no additional qualifications and merit rewards, as the only proposer of the proposal to launch the "Dark Crusade" against the Huadu Mercenary Group, this great achievement is definitely beyond the reach of other players. After the war, the merits were rewarded. As far as all the participating members were concerned, I certainly got the biggest reward. I got two pseudo-artifacts at one time - "Gate of the Underworld" and "Soul Collecting Finger", both of which were extremely useful to me. Finally, I didn't work in vain for so long, and all my efforts were compensated. If I hadn't recommended too many players to join the resistance alliance, I wouldn't have received much indirect merit. In this regard, I was far inferior to Long Xing Tian Xia, Desert Eagle and Qing Wu Fei Yang. Generally, I rarely participated in the management of daily affairs, and my comprehensive evaluation was not high enough. Based on my strength and rising reputation, I'm afraid I could at least get a job as a vice speaker.
The fall of Flower City was definitely a heavy blow to the Church of Light, further weakening their influence in the Eastern Continent and causing extremely adverse consequences. Having suffered such a great loss, they naturally refused to give up. On the third day after the end of the Battle of Huadu, when we were using "Tian Media" to criticize and beat them up, the Church of Light issued four announcements in succession, declaring that the Longteng Mercenary Group headed by the Speaker of the Dark Council, Long Xingtianxia, the Jiaoyang Mercenary Group headed by the Deputy Speaker, Mo Feiying, the Xingyue Mercenary Group headed by the Deputy Speaker, Qingwu Feiyang, and the Zhongtian Mercenary Group headed by the senior director, Qiu Shui Changtian, have always been attached to the alliance of resistance forces, and have repeatedly been enemies of the Church of Light, causing immeasurable losses, and there is a trend of becoming more and more rampant, and enough hostility has been accumulated. They are specially required to make rectifications according to the series of requirements put forward within forty-eight hours after the announcement is issued, eliminate the dark corrupt elements headed by Long Xingtianxia, Mo Feiying, Qingwu Feiyang and Qiu Shui Changtian, and find other talents to preside over the development of the mercenary groups, otherwise they will be declared "public enemies of light" and may be punished by the "Holy War of Light" at any time.
Previously, in "Tianxia", there were several forces that were labeled as "public enemies of light" by the Church of Light. In addition to the "Mind Castle" which was destroyed by the Church of Light and was the nominal headquarters, there was also the Resistance Alliance with members spread across the three continents, Beijing City in the Eastern Continent, Prairie City in the Southern Continent, and Peace City in the Northern Continent. However, the only mercenary group that was most suitable for launching the "Holy War of Light" was the Tongxin Alliance. Now there are four more brothers in distress, which shows that the Church of Light or the Light Senate headed by the Supreme Honor is really a little angry about the destruction of Huadu. They want to stir up a bigger storm and retaliate against our Resistance Alliance for destroying Huadu, so as to divert the negative reports and comments from the public opinion and try to restore their damaged reputation.
However, Long Xing Tian Xia, Dame Feiying, Qing Wu Fei Yang, Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others had already been mentally prepared for such a result. After all, as important leaders of the resistance alliance, they all needed the strong support and cooperation of their mercenary groups. No matter how careful they were, unless they did nothing, the hostility would only accumulate, and sooner or later it would reach the standard and they would inevitably become the "public enemy of light." The only unexpected thing was probably that they did not expect the Church of Light to have such a big appetite. The four major mercenary groups won the bid at the same time and faced the threat of the "Holy War of Light" together. They might have to take turns to accept the test of the "Holy War of Light."
It is naturally impossible to reform the mercenary groups and compromise with the Church of Light. Just like what we did before, Longteng, Jiaoyang, Xingyue and Zhongtian also mobilized and announced that once they were identified as "public enemies of light" by the Church of Light, they would join the resistance alliance. Members who did not want to get involved in the struggle between light and darkness could choose to withdraw. At the same time, they actively carried out war preparations, purchased various necessary combat materials, further strengthened the defense construction of the garrison, and made full preparations for the upcoming "holy war of light". The Dark Council also held an emergency meeting and passed the motion. Like the United Alliance, the four major mercenary groups also enjoyed relevant preferential policies and would receive strong support and assistance from the resistance alliance to fight the Church of Light to the end.
Forty-eight hours later, none of the four major mercenary groups, Longteng, Jiaoyang, Xingyue and Zhongtian, responded to the deadline rectification notice of the Church of Light, and were officially declared to be "public enemies of light". At this time, our Dark Council was gathering in the Beijing City Lord's Mansion for a plenary meeting, preparing to make timely resolutions and determine the response strategy based on the specific actions that the Church of Light would take . Just as we were speculating which of them the Church of Light would choose to launch the "Holy War of Light" first, the news announced was enough to surprise almost all the players of "Tianxia" - the first target of attack was actually the Tongxin League. Of course, if that was all, it could only be called a bit unexpected. A tall tree attracts the wind, and perhaps they wanted to vent their anger on us, the most important "public enemy of light". The key is that the Tongxin League is just the beginning, and then they issued a holy war notice against the four new "public enemies of light", Longteng, Jiaoyang, Xingyue and Zhongtian. In other words, the Church of Light plans to launch five "holy wars of light" against the five "public enemies of light" distributed in three continents at the same time.
Besides being shocked, I was extremely puzzled. My first impression was that the Church of Light, or Supreme Honor, Hua Mantian and the others were mad. Why would they do such a crazy thing? Even if they wanted to retaliate against our resistance alliance, they should not launch a "Holy War of Light" against five large mercenary groups of 10,000 people at the same time. According to the content of the announcement, no NPCs of Light were arranged to participate. All of them were to be carried out by players of Light. Each war required 40,000 people. It was impossible for the Church of Light to have 200,000 players of very high levels. If all the elite masters were concentrated, there might be a 50% chance. If the strength was dispersed further, I am afraid there would not even be a hope of success.
However, after careful consideration, perhaps this is the cleverness of the Supreme Honor. Compared with the disguised "Dark Crusade" launched in the form of group battles, the biggest advantage of the "Light Crusade" is low-cost and low-risk operation. There is no need to pay a high group battle deposit. Even if the attack fails, the loss is only the rewards of the participating players and a little reputation of the Church of Light. Choosing to attack five targets at the same time to launch the "Light Crusade" is just a plan. Without the restriction of the group battle deposit, it does not mean that it must be implemented and strive for success. In the current situation where they are surrounded by enemies and their reputation has plummeted, even if they are just bluffing, they can directly give up the attack at that time. It is allowed by the rules and will not cause worse effects. The truth and falsehood make us unclear which one or several mercenary groups are the focus of the Church of Light's attempt to eliminate, which will inevitably disperse the assistance of the resistance alliance and increase the chances of the Church of Light succeeding.
At this point, no matter what the Church of Light is planning, we can only respond proactively. Facing the threat of the "Holy War of Light", we cannot seek external assistance and can only fight with our existing 10,000 official members. Facing an enemy that is four times our number, no one dares to take it lightly. It's a pity that the five major mercenary groups have all become the target of the "Holy War of Light". We can no longer concentrate our best equipment to support one of them and cannot exert our strongest combat power. However, I still received support from several holy equipment that increase spiritual power. Although they are not high-level holy equipment, I was able to summon a level nine upper-level six-armed giant magician and station him in the meeting hall. Anyone who dares to attack us will definitely pay a heavy price.
Seeing that there were only twelve hours left before the start of the "Holy War of Light", our necromancers were about to summon the Undead Legion to fight in advance, but suddenly we received news that surprised us: the Yamato Spirit's British Sun Mercenary Group submitted a request for a group battle to the Blue Falun Mercenary Group through the Mercenary Union.
