Chapter 182 Prelude to War
Chapter 182 Prelude to War
At the same time, the storyteller naturally posted all the relevant information on the forum.
When a group of players saw the content of this information, they were naturally curious and happy.
"Burning War, does it mean the war between gods? Hmm... could this be the reason why the Spirit Candle World has become such a mess now?"
"I feel so. The war that broke out in the Burning Land must be hiding a huge secret. When can we go to the Burning Land dungeon to see what happened?"
"We are only level 40 at most now, and we are still in the early to middle stages. It looks like we will have to wait until the late stages..."
"..."
The discussion about the world background in the Lingzhu forum has always been a hot topic. Some players were introduced to the game through the storyteller's video and have many ideas of their own.
As of now, the background of the Lingzhu world has only just begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg, and there are more secrets and stories waiting for them to discover.
In addition to the discussion about the world background, the intelligence brought back by the storyteller also includes basic information about various forces, which players are also very interested in.
"Snowville Masked People... So this is the real name of these clay pot people."
"No, buddy, you don't understand. This is just the name given to the Fire Stealers by the Shadow of Fool, just like we call them Clay Pots. How did it become their real name?"
"Brothers, this Wandering Fire, if I'm not mistaken, should refer to NPCs like Master Burton, right?"
"That makes sense. This type of NPC should be the same as individual players... but we don't seem to have encountered one yet."
"Tsk tsk, judging from the background story, these independent players seem to be even more miserable. Without a background like the Firewood Gatherer and the Shadow of Fool, won't they just be left in those dungeons?"
"When you say that, it's true."
Players have not yet encountered the so-called "wandering fire".
They are quite curious about these so-called individual NPCs.
Apart from the more serious discussions among these players, most of the rest are less serious discussions and remarks made by people just for fun.
The reason is simple: the intelligence description of the Shadow of Deception is really too ridiculous.
"Poor firewood collector, played at the mercy of Leti."
"It can be seen that Leti truly loves the firewood gatherer."
"Damn, what a group of elusive, heroic guys, they play everything in their hands~ (阴阴怪气.jpg)"
"Oh my god, listen to this awful boasting, like an ignorant countryman promoting his potatoes, I swear, if you ever let me be mentally polluted like this again, I will use the big wooden stick I gave you as a gift to shove hard into your ass and spin it around, I promise!"
"I am dying of laughter. This information must have been written by Leti. How shameless."
"I don't know how much money the storyteller spent to buy this information. I really want to know how the Candle Keeper felt when he saw this information."
"Fuck, brothers, there is even intelligence about us!"
"Wow, that bastard Leti has actually been spying on us since the coastal town... Did he follow the firewood collector?"
"How dare you! Why are you doing this for the Horde and Demacia? Where are the warriors of Noxus?"
"Cunning villain!"
"Damn it, are there so few people in the village now?"
"Hey, you know what, the details of Lingzhu's game are really amazing. They even included their evaluation of us. Although this feeling is weird, it's really immersive!"
"..."
The information about the Shadow of Deception was naturally collected by countless Leti, and inevitably included some personal "subjective emotions"...
However, jokes aside, looking at these evaluations from the subjective perspective of the Shadow of Fool can actually help us figure out their first impressions and evaluations of each force.
The salary snatcher is difficult to communicate with and dangerous.
The firewood gatherer is naive, stupid and gullible.
The candle spirit behaves strangely and is hard to understand.
However, most players did not focus on this. Although many people noticed it, many people just thought it was novel. They did not expect that they would also be included in the intelligence as a group...
Besides these fun things.
Many people are also paying attention to a very important issue, which is the upcoming large-scale regional team war, and discussions on this issue have never stopped.
Creepy: "How should we fight this group battle? We don't even know the battlefield yet."
Storyteller: "I asked the candle keeper, and he revealed the battlefield area... There are islands and shallow seas in that place, so the land battle and the sea battle should each account for half."
Baga Cat: "? You can even ask that? That's ridiculous..."
Venerable Liqun: "In fact, you can ask the Candle Keeper many questions, and he may tell you, but I advise everyone... don't ask questions like whether Lingzhu's fish has ever been to college..."
I did push-ups with the Bull: "Half and half each... That's good, my tactics should work, hehe."
My Little Pony: "Hey, here it comes!"
Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "Brothers, I suggest that we make the division and preparation in advance."
Gray Sky: "That makes sense. Although the NPCs in this game are quite smart, we should still make some preparations. It would be bad if the system doesn't make arrangements in this regard."
Time to eat mushrooms: "You're right, NPCs know nothing about fighting."
My son failed the exam, so I went ashore: "Should we appoint a commander-in-chief of the three armies, the kind that commands all the players?"
Miao Ge did not fail the exam: "Oh? Then who do you think is the most suitable candidate?"
My son failed the exam, so I got ashore: "What do you think? Hehe, by the way, I have led many large-scale battles, all of which ended in victory. I remember all kinds of tactics such as filling the line, breaking through, and encirclement..."
The man sitting there said, "? Report! We found a Class A war criminal, please cover with artillery fire!"
Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "You'd better not embarrass yourself. In my opinion, the boss from far away is the most suitable @诗和远方."
My son failed the exam and I got a job: "..."
As for other people, they could still try to get ashore, but once this name came out, he really had no confidence.
Li Miao's proposal also attracted the approval of many people. The players were all very clear about Yuanfang's strength. Even if they had no experience in this area, they still believed in Yuanfang very much.
The distant place, which was called by a group of players, also responded at this time.
Unexpectedly, he was neither humble nor talkative, and his reply was just a simple one-word reply.
Poetry and Distance: "Okay."
……
Time passes gradually.
Although it is still daytime, many players are already on high alert, leveling up while looking forward to the possible war.
Some players who have reached a similar level have begun to search for salary collectors in Sea Area No. 1 to accumulate war contributions.
Overall, players' mood towards this war is "expectation".
As players, they don’t know that this war will greatly affect the future direction of Zhuxin Island. They are just looking forward to new content like they are looking forward to the game’s DLC.
Therefore, the only one who truly knew the importance of this war was Rogge.
"call……"
Roger let out a breath.
But the pressure in my heart did not dissipate.
Looking at the dark border that seemed to be ready to move, his face was calm, but the air around him seemed extremely heavy.
The firewood snatchers have probably been eyeing Zhuxin Island for a long time.
Even though he had burned one of the Fire Stealers before, Rogge didn't know the real purpose of this group of guys.
These salary stealers only gave Rogge a feeling of... tools!
That’s right, these wage-stealers are like robots with set programs and tasks, like ruthless tools, everything they do is to achieve their goals, their thoughts are empty and cold, and they don’t seem like living people at all.
The only thing Roger could be sure of was that they were enemies, not friends.
"Seizing wages" is their purpose!
Nonia stood quietly behind Roger, looking at his back, pursed her lips, wondering what she was thinking.
Master Burton was still reading the information, as if trying to find some clues.
Everything seems peaceful.
But at this moment, an accident happened suddenly.
Buzz——
A huge shock suddenly swept across the entire Zhuxin Island and the surrounding anchored islands, as if the earth was shaking and the space began to become unstable.
The space is shaking!
The source of this huge vibration came from the distant Sea Area No. 1 and the outer battlefield that Rogge had prepared in advance!
Here they come! Rogge turned his gaze towards the battlefield almost instantly.
Nonia looked worried, and Master Burton put down the scroll in his hand and stood up.
Rogge looked at the two people behind him.
"Nonia, Master Burton, Candlewood Island and Sea Area No. 1... are now in your hands!"
"Nonia will be with you, Mr. Roger." Nonia touched her chest and saluted, looking extremely serious.
"May the light of fire bless you."
Master Burton also bowed solemnly.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Rogge nodded slightly, and the heavy stone pressing on his heart seemed to be lighter.
He turned around, his body began to burn, and the next moment, a flash of blue flame appeared.
……
【Attention all players! 】
[This regional war has officially begun, and hostile forces are about to arrive on the battlefield! ]
[Do you want to participate in this war? ]
【Attention all players! 】
【…】
At this moment, no matter where the players are, this extremely eye-catching prompt appears in front of them.
Many players suddenly became excited!
"Fuck! It's finally here! Let's start fighting!"
"Fight! It's great!!!"
"Go to the forums and chat groups and notify everyone! Let's get started!"
"Kill the clay pot!"
"No, why did the war start so suddenly? Why didn't they wait until night?"
"Nei Tian, you are the only one waiting for the war to start. Where is the war waiting for you?"
"This is a game, at least wait until night time. My friend is still working on it! There's no need to rush to pursue reality, right?"
"Never mind. I think it's a good idea. If we know exactly when the war will start, wouldn't it really be like '321 start'?"
"It makes sense..."
"Stop talking nonsense, brothers, hurry up and get them. I'll go first!"
"Don't be in a hurry! Let's get ready first! Let's do as we agreed in the group. Where is our self-destruct team? Let's give these clay pot heads a big one!"
"..."
It is still afternoon, and there is still some time before most people go off work and take a break. Those who are still here during this period are either idle people or hardworking people.
As the war begins, players also perform their duties, calling for players, filling in the lines...
……
Buzz-buzz-
Niu Niu, who was eating chicken feet in slippers, was frightened when he saw his cell phone vibrating and messages popping up, and then he started complaining.
"What's that thing that's suddenly buzzing? Could it be that Mushroom is having a seizure again?"
Niu Niu took the phone while complaining.
When he saw the message on his mobile phone, he took off without saying a word and put on his helmet.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Niu Niu smiled excitedly and evilly, then closed his eyes.
Explosive Niuzi Commander! Officially launched!
……
"Alas, alas!"
"My fish!"
Near the Jinghai Islands, Brother Yu looked at the fish that had slipped away again, holding his chest with his hands, heartbroken.
Old Yan put away his fishing rod neatly and took out his magic wand excitedly.
"Old Fish, don't worry about the fish for now. The guild... no, this team war has started. Let's go!"
Old Yan seemed very happy.
The game Lingzhu seemed to bring him back to his youth when he was an internet-addicted teenager.
Hearing this, Brother Yu had no choice but to put away his fishing rod.
"...let's go."
Before leaving, he also sent a message in the fishing group.
……
In the Gales Hollow, at the altar vine lizard milestone candle.
Li Miao, who was sitting cross-legged to recover his strength, also saw this prompt at this time, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
However, he did not teleport there immediately. Instead, he went straight back to Zhuxin Island, opened the chat box, and notified his friends one by one.
Poetry and the Distance: “We’ve arrived.”
My son failed the exam, so I got ashore: "Damn, I've been here a long time ago, stop nagging me!"
I used the bull push-up: “My buddy is already here, come on!”
My hamster is called Gua Gua: "Right away, right away, I'm removing my makeup..."
"..."
There is a reason why Li Miao is called "Spirit Candle Succubus" by most players.
The chat box that ordinary players can't even fill up is not enough for him.
After notifying his friends, he twisted his neck, and his body became taller and more muscular as the thought began to grow.
"Huh... come on."
The next moment, the pitch-black helmet of the Law Knight slowly covered his cheek. The cold and heavy visor changed Li Miao's entire aura.
The next moment, the hard gauntlet touched the flame, and the tall and burly knight instantly merged into it, leaving only a few blue flames that gradually dissipated.
……
Battlefield area.
Rogge stood quietly in front of the huge milestone spirit candle, staring at the dark border that was surging and rolling in the distance.
There is no doubt that the wage-grabbers are coming.
This war can be said to have come suddenly.
If it weren't for Xiao Luo's help, he would most likely have discovered the abnormality only when the dark border moved unusually.
There is no doubt that the situation would not be as well prepared as it is now, but would be an unprepared war.
A hasty response and a war that is fully prepared in advance are completely different concepts.
So, this was an attack by the salary grabbers without warning!
They came here with the goal of destroying Zhuxin Island!
Just like a poisonous snake that has been lurking for a long time, it found the right opportunity and bared its fangs without hesitation!
The risks involved can be imagined!
However, even with preparations now, the Wage Taker still won't arrive at the time most players expect.
Therefore, until now, there are still many players who have not come online.
But, things have come to this point and the war has begun.
Then there is no retreat!
