Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 79: Holy War of Light (1)
In the eyes of the outside world, this "Holy War of Light" is just a dispute between the NPCs under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light and our Tongxin League players. It is somewhat similar to the nature of "monster siege", but in fact it is a contest between the Light Senate, where Supreme Honor serves as the Senate President, and the Dark Council, where Long Xing Tianxia serves as the Senate President. It tests the leadership ability of the decision-makers of both the dark and light players, the protagonists of the future struggle. Supreme Honor took the lead and chose me and Tongxin League as the breakthrough point. It made reasonable use of system rules and clever design, accumulated enough hostility, and launched a "Holy War of Light" against Tongxin League, intending to suppress the growing momentum of the "Resistance Alliance". However, Long Xing Tianxia saw through the Supreme Honor's plot in time, convened the Council to make a resolution to fully assist Tongxin League, and determined the strategy of defense instead of attack to respond to the provocation of Supreme Honor. The two largest player alliances in "Tianxia" were hidden behind the scenes, and both put their chips on us, the "No. 1 Mercenary Group in the World", and launched the first round of confrontation.
Long Xing Tian Xia's conditions can be said to be extremely generous. After a brief discussion, we unanimously passed a resolution - once the Church of Light declares us "public enemies of light", all members of the Tong Xin Alliance will join the "Resistance Alliance" and officially become a major affiliated force. As early as the beginning of the news, all members had received a notice and rushed back to the base to assemble. Then a general meeting of all members was held, and Xue Wuxia announced the decision to never compromise, persist in the struggle, and all members will join the "Resistance Alliance". If there are members who want to remain neutral and do not want to get involved in the struggle between darkness and light, they can withdraw freely. According to their previous contributions, they will be given a certain amount of "severance pay". Everything is based on the personal wishes of the players and will never be forced. Fortunately, due to my existence, the United Alliance has always shown a trend of moving closer to the "Resistance Alliance". In addition to the propaganda influence of Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying, all the members who joined have already decided to stand on the opposite side of the Church of Light. Not only did no one voluntarily withdraw, showing a strong cohesion, but also the public sentiment was agitated, clamoring to teach the Church of Light a hard lesson, showing high morale. This is also a major advantage of our United Alliance - the first priority in selecting members is the quality of character, and the strength of individual strength is not the first priority. Therefore, although the overall strength of the mercenary group is not as good as Longteng, Glory, or even Fearless and Sun Never Sets, the degree of unity is definitely better than them.
There were still more than 40 hours before the start of the "Holy War of Light". Most of the other members were assigned tasks, such as accepting aid arrows and other war supplies, or transporting raw materials, speeding up the construction of new defenses such as arrow towers and magic towers, and resting in batches to ensure that they had sufficient energy to persist in the 12-hour high-intensity fierce battle. Moonlight Treasure Box, Guo Po Shan He and I, as well as more than 30 other undead wizards affiliated with the Tongxin League, were responsible for more important tasks. We were collectively "driven" offline, rested well, and then went online in advance. We needed to "work" continuously and summon a large number of undead to help in the battle.
Probably having anticipated the tactics of the Undead Wizards, the Church of Light refused to give me more time to prepare for the "Holy War of Light" simply by choosing the right time to launch it. They issued a notice at midnight, so I could only use the sixteen hours of online time the day before to perform the " Summon the Undead". Fortunately, the "Resistance Alliance" provided a large number of magicians, especially water magicians, who could continuously replenish our spiritual power. With sixteen hours of preparation time, it was enough to summon a large army of undead.
After I rested and came online again, the base of the Tongxin League was no longer as quiet as before. It had turned into a noisy construction site with people coming and going. Architects were working on the construction, and many "laborers" were helping. They were surrounding the meeting hall in the center of the base, or building new types of fortifications in the "cracks", or reinforcing and expanding the original scale, all of which were to further enhance the defense capabilities of the base, so that the invading Light NPCs would have to pay a certain price for every step forward.
I found Long Xingtianxia, who was directing and coordinating all the work in the meeting hall. Looking at the high-level holy equipment that other necromancers had lent me, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - in terms of personal strength, no necromancer could match me, but the top-level equipment they had made me envious. Alas, if I want to collect such a set of top-quality equipment, I don't know how many dark holy beasts I have to kill to achieve my wish.
Apart from the two artifacts on my hands, the only equipment that originally belonged to me was the "Dragon Bone Holy Crown" which increased my mental power by 60%. The other major equipment were gloriously "laid off" and replaced by more advanced "similar equipment". The wizard robe was borrowed from Qiu Shui Chang Tian's "Dark Holy Robe", which increased my mental power by 100%. I wore a pair of "Blood Shadow Magic Boots" that increased my mental power by 40%. The pair of rings were from the other two undead wizards in the council, the True Son of Heaven and the "Ghost Ghost Rings" of Fa Ruxue, which increased their mental power by 20% each. What surprised me the most was the "Soul Summoning Staff" in my hand. It was the weapon of another new director, Ye You. I didn't think much of its other functions, but its unique "Soul Summoning" ability was exactly what I needed most at the moment - when performing "Summoning the Undead", it could instantly increase my basic mental power by 15%, and could summon more powerful undead creatures. Although this 15% basic mental power cannot be further increased by other equipment and converted into a higher mental value, it is already quite rare and can help the necromancer break through the limitation of basic mental power and maximize the power of "Summoning the Dead". In addition, the "Soul Summoning Bone Chain" of Tianxing hanging around the neck, in addition to increasing the mental power limit by 25%, also has the ability of "Summoning the Dead", which can increase the basic mental power by 8% while performing "Summoning the Dead". Maybe it can really break through the bottleneck and summon the ninth-level lower-level, most powerful Pharaoh Khufu.
In addition to these seven high-level holy artifacts, there is also a cloak and two bracelets made by player craftsmen, all of which have the attribute of increasing the upper limit of mental power, the cloak is 20%, and the bracelets are 10%, a total increase of 305% of the upper limit of mental power, almost three times what I had before, and it also comes with two "summoning spirits" abilities, which increases the basic mental power by 23%, which means that seven lower-level eighth-level Horror Dragon Knights can be summoned at a time. Unfortunately, the Horror Dragon Knights are distributed rather scattered, and cannot be concentrated and subdued quickly. They are also distracted by the "Hell Volcano" and have not invested too much time. Now I only have 137 of them. Otherwise, if I could summon three to five thousand to fill the council hall, even if there are two thousand eighth-level light NPCs, I can guarantee that they will never return.
