Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 163 Escape Operation
Since we have become the "public enemy of light", there is no need to hide it anymore. Like the Tongxin League, all the four major mercenary groups, Longteng, Jiaoyang, Xingyue and Zhongtian, have joined the resistance alliance, and several more top masters of neutral professions have joined, further strengthening the strength of the dark camp. In particular, Xingyue's leader Romantic Sakura and Longteng's deputy leader Drinking and Singing, both of whom are outstanding in terms of status and personal ability, are definitely strong competitors for the position of dark councilor. As long as they perform well during the first few months of the probation period, with the strong support of Longxing Tianxia, Qingwu Feiyang and me, as well as the strong backing of the two major mercenary groups, they should be able to be successfully selected into the dark council, and it would be best to squeeze out the directors of the two departments of Desert Eagle and Qiushui Changtian, so that we can control the situation as soon as possible.
The resistance alliance was unable to continue to launch large-scale wars due to internal disagreements and funding constraints; the Church of Light identified four new "public enemies of light" at once, and launched five "holy wars of light" and a group battle involving more than 300,000 players. The relevant expenses such as the remuneration of the participants and war compensation should be quite a lot, and all the targets that met the conditions had been attacked, and it was probably impossible to find new suitable targets for a while. Therefore, after these fierce battles, they all fell silent at the same time. Small-scale conflicts and fights continued, but no major actions were planned. They were accumulating strength and waiting for the next outbreak.
Of course, the annual Tianxia Anniversary Celebration, the "Tianxia Heroes Conference", which will be held on August 1st, more than a month later, is also a major factor in our two camps' temporary decision to stop fighting. This event has attracted the interest of almost all Tianxia players, and the level of attention it has received is far greater than that of a few local wars. The battles for the "Top Ten Masters in the World" in the individual competition and the "Top Ten Mercenary Groups in the World" in the team competition, how the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance will perform against each other, and which of them will be able to occupy several places, to a large extent, illustrate the true strength of the two major camps of darkness and light. There is no need to explain and publicize it deliberately, and it can achieve the best publicity effect, which is far more convincing than razing or completely destroying one or two mercenary groups that are considered to be attached to the enemy. If you want to make a difference in the competition, you must save the pseudo-artifacts you have already obtained, and at the same time find ways to earn more professional merits in exchange for new pseudo-artifacts, strive to have more pseudo-artifacts available in the competition, and increase the chances of winning. You also need to try your best to obtain higher-level props and equipment, which all require time to carefully plan and cannot be solved by large-scale player melees.
With my strength, I don't need too many pseudo-artifacts, and I don't even dare to hope to get another artifact. As long as I can add one or two holy equipment that can increase the upper limit of my mental power, so that I can summon the ninth-level upper-level Destruction Knight Ibola and the six-armed giant magician, I will have enough confidence to compete with any top players such as the Fearless Warrior and the Supreme Honor, and win the honor of "the world's best master". In view of the fact that I have always been hardworking and have made unparalleled contributions to the Tongxin Alliance, as well as the importance of my strength to the survival and development of the Tongxin Alliance, and especially for the "Prince Order" which, according to rumors, may be the reward for the "World's No. 1 Mercenary Group", Xue Wuxia proposed it, and all the core members expressed their support, and obtained the unanimous approval of the Tongxin Alliance Members' Representative Conference, and decided to make an exception and allocate a huge sum of money from the Tongxin Alliance's funds. No matter whether it is dropped by killing the Dark Holy Beast or purchased at a high price at an auction, we must strive to purchase a high-level holy equipment that increases the upper limit of my mental power for me before the "World Heroes Conference" is held, so as to further enhance my strength, help me achieve better results in the individual competition, and help the Tongxin Alliance successfully defend the title and gain greater glory.
There is no need to worry about the delay of equipment, and there is nothing important to take care of in the human world for the time being. I can continue to focus on the affairs in the "Dead Space". None of my subordinates has a great chance of success in the Nether Dragon Challenge on June 15th, so there is no need to bother with it. I can just send another subordinate who is qualified for immersion to deal with it. Fortunately, due to my unremitting efforts, my subordinates did not disappoint me and finally found a "Ten Thousand Year Fire Crystal" on the "Hell Volcano". Considering that Taotao, as a pet, has the dual attributes of darkness and fire, it is easier for him to accumulate energy. Khufu has been promoted to the ninth-level upper-level Great Pharaoh, and the effect of the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" will not have much effect on it. It also has a special equipment "Pyramid", which can absorb fire energy more efficiently. Compared with Guben and Had, who have just evolved, and the lower-level Silando, the oldest flame bone demon Kekexili should be the one with the greatest hope of evolving as soon as possible, so he gave it the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" to eat, to see how powerful and tyrannical the ultimate flame demon form will be.
Ibola continued to team up with Wuji and was committed to finding other traces of the Undead Ghost Phoenix. Although this matter was urgent, I could not help, and it was up to Ibola's luck. The primary problem that needed to be solved urgently was still Khufu's escape. Only by abolishing the ban on leaving the Lost Continent jointly announced by eleven great pharaohs including Jefferson and Vilenzov, and returning to the "Hell Volcano" as soon as possible, and using the "Pyramid" to absorb more magma energy, could we speed up our growth, and soon have the strength to challenge Vilenzov, Jefferson and other great pharaohs, and strive to become the legendary pharaoh.
According to the intelligence obtained by Khufu, I started to target those pharaohs with stronger strength, and subdue them to challenge the great pharaoh. As long as one great pharaoh opposed, the ban would be invalid, and Khufu could be freed. Pharaohs all live in groups of mummies, and are protected by a large number of small and large mummies of level 7 or 8. If you want to sign a "soul contract" with them, the most direct and effective way is to invade the territory of mummies and start a "war of the dead". Fortunately, mummies can't fly and are melee professions. The main combat arms under my command are air combat type bone dragons, which have an innate advantage. I also have the ability to fly. There is no need to break through from the ground layer by layer and cause too much riots. Just concentrate the tyrannical bone dragons to launch air strikes, focus on the area where the target pharaoh is located, and seize the time to defeat them and subdue them.
The war went smoothly. After discussing with Khufu, we designed a more convenient action plan that fully utilized the authority of the Great Pharaoh. First, we arranged for Khufu to conduct a field survey and take a walk around the selected mummies that were about to be attacked. The Great Pharaoh, who was high above and rarely seen on weekdays, came to visit. Naturally, all the pharaohs in the territory had to go out to greet him. Finally, they had to respectfully leave Khufu. Then, before they had time to disperse, I mobilized more than 200 white-bone dragons and rushed in in a swarm, specifically looking for those pharaohs to attack. There was no need to fight too much . They could almost catch them all in one fell swoop, and it didn't take too much time, reducing the loss of white-bone dragons. It was much more effective than my initial idea. In this way, it would not take many "Undead Wars" to conquer enough pharaohs to launch continuous promotion challenges to kill the Great Pharaoh.
I have already chosen the target to challenge. It is a great pharaoh named Geruda who supports Jefferson. According to the information provided by Osasura and my and Khufu's observations, Geruda is the weakest among the eleven great pharaohs. He won the qualification of great pharaoh about a hundred years earlier than Osasura. It should be the easiest to defeat him and replace him. Once some pharaohs are conquered, they can be arranged to compete for the qualification to advance to the great pharaoh. They will compete with those pharaohs who are instructed by other great pharaohs to challenge Khufu. Khufu can free up a lot of time and no longer be frequently harassed by those pharaohs. At the same time, he immediately applied to challenge Geruda for advancement. Of course, after obtaining Geruda's permission, he will inevitably be challenged by the pharaohs under his control. However, with my help, he can easily get rid of those guys who are in the way and obtain the qualification to advance to the final challenge.
As a senior pharaoh, although it is of dark attribute, in terms of strength, there are still some of the strongest individuals who are stronger than Khufu, who has just evolved into a pharaoh. It's just that ordinary pharaohs don't have names, which means that they don't have very high wisdom, and they can't compare with Khufu in practical experience and coping skills. In the real battle, they will still fail. They have just been conquered, and their cooperation with me is not very tacit, and there is no more time and patience to conduct actual combat drills with them. Therefore, facing the great pharaoh Geruda, whose strength is still higher than Osasura, even with my full cooperation, there is no chance of winning. I can only use the wheel tactics, challenge Geruda one after another, and don't give Geruda a chance to breathe, so that it can't get enough time to recover, so that there is hope to win the final victory.
With the experience of a promotion challenge, I understand the relevant procedures. I use the authority enjoyed by the challenger to try my best to shorten the interval between two challenges to save time more effectively and avoid being delayed by Geruda for too long. The pharaohs in the previous challenges must be sacrificed. The key is to seize the opportunity to cause more serious damage to Geruda as much as possible, especially to try to damage its body and hurt its vitality, so that even with the help of the "pyramid", it is impossible to recover quickly in too short a time. At the same time, I selected three pharaohs with the strongest strength, focused on training them, cooperated with each other for training, and improved their practical experience and tacit understanding with me, as the final candidate to replace Geruda.
With my help, he easily passed five levels and defeated six generals, defeated several competitors, and obtained the right to challenge Geruda in the shortest time. According to the agreed time and place, after going through the same process, I and the pharaoh who initiated the challenge were covered in Geruda's "pyramid". In order to eliminate the effect of the cursed light, the "death field" still needs to be released, but the purpose of the challenge is not to defeat and kill the opponent, but to consume Geruda's strength as much as possible. The tactics used are naturally different . He specifically attacked Geruda's left arm, risking his life, and trying to break and remove its left arm, turning it into a one-armed pharaoh, damaging its vitality, and then wanting to grow it again and restore its original ability, it would not be possible in a short time, creating better opportunities for the next challenger.
Without caring about himself, he fought to the death. With my help, the challenging Pharaoh eventually lost died, but he finally removed Geruda's left arm as he wished, and achieved my goal. With the death of the Pharaoh, the battle ended with the failure of the challenger, and I was expelled from the "Pyramid" immediately. Unfortunately, Jefferson and others were hiding around to supervise, and we couldn't really damage the "Pyramid", so it was not convenient to launch a siege. Otherwise, if I dispatched hundreds of bone dragons, and mobilized Ebola, Wuji and dozens of giant magicians, and rushed over, not to mention the Great Pharaoh, I could even completely demolish the "Pyramid".
The first one had just failed, and without giving Geruda more time, the second pharaoh immediately applied for promotion. According to the procedure, he still had to face several pharaohs pushed out by Geruda to compete for the challenge qualification. When the pharaoh and I joined forces to defeat those competitors as quickly as possible and continued to challenge Geruda, its left arm that was broken last time had grown back, which made me worried. I don’t know if I underestimated the function of the "pyramid" or it was restored to its original state. However, when the real duel began, I still found that its movements were a little clumsy. Probably because I needed to distract myself from the challenge, and I was in a hurry, I didn’t get enough time to recuperate and recover. I finally breathed a sigh of relief, proving the correctness of the predetermined tactics. The natural thing now is to press on and continue to attack its left arm, breaking it again, and then use the remaining strength to attack one of its legs. When one day I can break both its arms and legs in one blow and it has no time to fully recover, it will be the turn of my main forces to fight and try to take down Geruda's position as the Great Pharaoh in one fell swoop.
The newly formed Neutral Alliance, under the leadership of the Fearless Warriors, seemed unwilling to play a supporting role in balancing the struggle between the two camps of light and darkness, but wanted to become the third largest force that could truly compete with the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance Forces. Soon, after careful planning, they applied for the "peaceful seizure of power" plan in Storm City in the southern continent and Qingshan City in the northern continent. With the support of many neutral mercenary groups, the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance Forces were unwilling interfere and make enemies with them, allowing them to successfully gain control of Storm City and Qingshan City. Because of the neutral nature of the Neutral Alliance, the Church of Light specifically instructed that they be allowed to gain control of the two cities. In return, the Cathedral of Light in the two cities can still continue to exist, forming a situation of peaceful coexistence. This will undoubtedly add some trouble to our Alliance of Resistance Forces' future actions to destroy all the Cathedrals of Light in the three continents. If we want to attack the Cathedrals of Light in the cities controlled by the Neutral Alliance, we must first communicate and negotiate with the Neutral Alliance and obtain their permission, which may give rise to more variables.
In order to celebrate the success of the "peaceful seizure of power" plan, and to increase its visibility and attract more players and forces to enter Storm City and Qingshan City under their control, the Neutral Alliance held a three-day grand celebration in Qingshan City. At the same time, an unprecedented auction will be held, and it will even be promoted through "Tian Media". The announcement turned out to be that two artifacts of neutral professions will be involved in the auction, and there will be many high-level holy artifacts including those of the dark and light professions. It immediately caused an unprecedented sensation in "Tianxia". Almost all powerful mercenary groups have expressed their support, which has brought the reputation of the Neutral Alliance to an unprecedented height.
One artifact is called "Magic Forbidden Bow", which is a weapon used by the archer and magic archer professions. It is said to have the attribute of "magic forbidden". If you are hit by an arrow shot by this bow, you will be unable to use skills for a short period of time according to the opponent's immunity to abnormal status. Another artifact is "Heaven Shaking Sword", which is a weapon used by the swordsman and angry swordsman professions. It is said to have the skill of "Divine Sword Shaking the Sky", which is very powerful. Both artifacts are offensive weapons and should be more popular with players. The Fearless Warriors are really capable. They can actually get two artifacts for auction. The Neutral Alliance acts so high-profile and rises rapidly, but I don't know which side will be more advantageous to the Church of Light and our resistance alliance, or it will be a big trouble for both of us.
Because I was dragged down by the Pharaoh's challenge to Geruda, I was unable to personally attend this unprecedented auction. According to Afeng, who was invited to attend the auction, Qingshan City was crowded with people that day. The huge city was almost packed with people, and the two artifacts triggered unprecedented enthusiasm, especially before the "World Heroes Conference". Many players with financial resources and suitable professions were determined to participate in the competition. If you don't have a little power, it's hard to get even an invitation to the auction. Through fierce bidding, the "Forbidden Magic Bow" became the fifteenth artifact in "Tianxia" and was won by the archer Wangyue Canglang, while the "Heaven-shaking Sword", which is the sixteenth artifact in "Tianxia", unfortunately fell into the hands of our mortal enemy, the angry swordsman Yamato Spirit.
