Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 85: Using Earth Escape to Counter Earth Escape (1)
We finally held on to the end, saved the United Alliance, and did not let the Supreme Honor and the Church of Light succeed. But when the few survivors walked out of the meeting hall and looked around, except for the four damaged "Watcher" magic pillars standing alone, the huge base that we spent more than a year of hard work and built with our own hands had become a ruin, with no buildings standing tall. When we looked at each other, we all showed a general sadness on our faces, and did not feel the slightest joy of victory.
"These NPCs of the Light are so vicious that they have almost completely destroyed our Tongxin Alliance. Even if we save the Council Hall, facing such a result, can we say that we have won?" Die Wu looked up at the huge "banner" of "The World's No. 1 Mercenary Group" that was still shining brightly in the sky above the base, with a bitter smile on her face.
We were all speechless. Although we had experienced several group battles, been attacked, and even attacked others, we could never imagine such a "tragic" ending. Those NPCs of the Light were simply a bunch of lunatics. They treated all buildings as enemies, and even those that had nothing to do with the battle and were only used for decoration. They implemented the most thorough "scorched earth policy" and did not consider the relevant interests at all.
After a long while, Yun Wuying sighed quietly, "Perhaps, this is also one of the purposes of the 'Holy War of Light'. It is not only aimed at the Tongxin Alliance itself, but also to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to deter those third-party forces that are inclined to the 'Resistance Alliance' like us. What could be more directly deterrent than turning a prosperous large mercenary group into ruins? Even if the 'Resistance Alliance' promises to 'pay' for all the losses, all the efforts that have been made will be wasted. No one would like to see such a result, and everything has to be rebuilt from scratch. If you want to restore the old state, it will definitely take a lot of time, which will inevitably affect its own development. Under such a terrorist threat, it should be more difficult for the 'Resistance Alliance' to win over neutral forces."
Xiao Niaoyi stuck out her tongue and acted as if she was scared. "Fortunately, we have saved the United Alliance and won the three-month 'recovery period' given by the 'Holy War of Light'. Other mercenary groups cannot take advantage of us and launch group wars against us during this period. Otherwise, I am afraid that other mercenary groups will take advantage of us before the next 'Holy War of Light'. Fortunately, the 'Resistance Alliance' promised to compensate for all our losses and promised to help us rebuild the United Alliance with all its strength. Otherwise, with our base destroyed like this, we would have to go bankrupt and would not have the ability to rebuild it within three months."
With the end of the "Holy War of Light", the "leaders" of the "Resistance Alliance" such as Long Xing Tian Xia, Da Mo Fei Ying, Qing Wu Fei Yang, etc. rushed over to congratulate our Tong Xin Alliance on its victory. However, in the face of such a bleak scene, they mostly expressed their condolences to us, and immediately began to negotiate with us about the reconstruction of Tong Xin Alliance, promising to return us a veritable "World's No. 1 Mercenary Group" within three months.
After the battle, I had to unload the high-level equipment I borrowed one by one and reluctantly returned it to Long Xing Tianxia, the "guarantor". I was immediately beaten back to my original form, from a "super-rich man" covered with "jewels and gems" to a shabby "downtrodden man". It was a pity. With the high-level holy equipment I had at that time, even if the three holders of the three bright artifacts of Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven and Olympia came together, I had the confidence to fight them alone. But it was not easy to get these equipment. Even the undead wizard players who were elected as directors of the Dark Council only had one each. The others were at most medium and low-level holy artifacts, and those with the "resurrection" attribute were extremely rare, almost comparable to artifacts. If you want to obtain it by constantly challenging the holy beast, you will inevitably encounter repeated drops. You need to challenge dozens or even hundreds of times in a row, which is not something that players at this stage can do. Even the bracelets and cloaks made by player alchemists and fashion designers are not so easy to obtain. From the production process of the "Phoenix Feather Cloak", it can be seen that many conditions need to be met to make a holy weapon-level equipment. The success rate is not high, and the accompanying attributes are not fixed. For the necromancer, an "artificial" holy weapon that can increase the upper limit of mental power is not much easier than getting a high-level holy weapon.
I paid the price of the death of more than 8,000 corpse wizards, more than 100 corpse wizard kings, and more than 50 terrifying flying dragon knights. Fortunately, there was no accident with the well-known subordinates. For me, this loss was not too big, but the results were not as fruitful as I imagined. The main reason was that these light NPCs were too cunning. The ones who rushed to the front to die were often pets and angels who descended or possessed. Killing them did not get double the qualification value reward or add much merit. Only by directly killing the light NPC was the most "beneficial". However, the opponent was outnumbered, echoing each other, and cooperating very tacitly. It was difficult to seize the opportunity to give them a fatal blow. In addition, with the presence of other companions, it was inevitable that they would "pick up the bargain" in the melee. Therefore, the thousands of corpse wizards scattered throughout the station and the hard battle in the meeting hall, although not without gains, did not make the qualification value rise sharply as I wished, or even directly rise to the full, reaching the requirements for promotion to the eighth level profession.
As the first player in Tianxia to advance to the seventh level of the profession, and also to receive the seniority reward, I should have had a certain advantage in the process of advancing to the eighth level of the profession. Unfortunately, I am a necromancer. While enjoying many special "privileges" such as "no six-hour death penalty", I am also subject to many restrictions. In terms of earning seniority, I am not more efficient than other professions. Most of the time, necromancers need to spend alone in the "dead space". Their main mission is not to kill, but to conquer. However, the seniority that can be obtained by signing a "soul contract" is actually quite limited, far less effective than killing them. Although several large-scale "undead wars" have been launched against corpse wizards and devouring ghosts, their levels are too low. Even if you kill more, the seniority that can be obtained is still limited. This is probably a limitation of the system on the role of necromancers and "undead wars". Moreover, the evolution of my pets and my subordinates’ undead, the promotion of the thief profession, the battle of “Hell Volcano”, the capture of a large number of corpse wizards and other things also delayed me a lot of time, which made my progress in the qualification value lag behind, and even fell behind Long Xing Tian Xia, Da Mo Fei Ying and others. At one point, I almost withdrew from the competition for “the first person to be promoted to the eighth level profession”. Fortunately, I got a lot of compensation through this “Holy War of Light”. Although it did not meet my expectations, it was enough to make me the strongest contender for “the first person to be promoted to the eighth level profession” again.
