Chapter 453: Free-riding tactics, killing the general
Chapter 453: Free-riding tactics, killing the general
Just as troops from all directions were rapidly gathering towards Xiaofeng City.
Several real people held a meeting with three governors, three state generals and others to discuss the success and failure of the recent battle.
The governor of Fengyin Prefecture said: "It seems that although the new imperial army is huge, its composition is complex and its organization is chaotic. It relies entirely on the leader's personal force to command the entire army. Once the leader is killed, the morale will collapse instantly. In this way, it will not be difficult to defeat these three armies."
True Man Qingfeng nodded slightly, "That's right. Although this Giant King is powerful, it seems that he is not invincible. It won't be difficult to kill him if the four of us attack together. In the next battle, if the four of us attack at the same time without leaving any strength, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, which should save us a lot of trouble."
Taoist Long Hua frowned and said, "However, the leader of the legion is often accompanied by a strong deputy general to assist him, which is a problem. The group of giant archers caused me a lot of trouble before. If the situation is disrupted when the four of us work together to defeat the enemy, we must always take precautions."
The governor of Longhua Prefecture suggested, "Perhaps we can select brave and diligent warriors from those who returned to fight with us. I just watched the battle and the Great Xia ruler who 'Conquered People with Virtue' was quite brave and powerful. The Longxiang Kingdom's 'Hidden Moon Following the Wind' was also quite capable.
Now that all the heroes of Kyushu have gathered here, there must be quite a few such extraordinary people. If we can recruit more talented people and cooperate with the four of you, we will surely win the battle and kill the enemy leader."
The governor of Liuhuo Prefecture said, "That's great. As long as the leader is killed, the enemy's morale will drop greatly. If our troops from the three prefectures can attack on all fronts, we should be able to win quickly. In this case, we will inform the entire army and select brave warriors."
The NPCs here discussed how to win quickly, and decided on the tactic of beheading first and then ambushing, and also decided on arrangements to summon experts from the players to join the battle. The players over there were also discussing the spoils of war.
Needless to say, the people of the Aoao Empire are awesome.
The Longxiang Kingdom surrounded Xiao Jie, asking him about some details of the battle just now, and even flattered him.
"Brother Suifeng, aren't you a swordsman? How come your transformation spell is so powerful?"
"Yeah, yeah, it can not only fly but also discharge electricity, awesome!"
"I think the First Dynasty has no future. Next we will have to compete with the Aoao Niubi Empire for supremacy. I think it would be better for Vice President Suifeng to take on the leadership responsibility in the next war. We are all waiting for you to come back and join us."
Xiao Jie listened to everyone's flattery, but he did not get carried away.
"These things are for the future, so let's talk about them later."
Long Xingtianxia saw that Xiao Jie was distracted, so he interrupted and said, "Brothers, stop talking nonsense, we still have two battles to fight.
Brother Suifeng, what happened to the Giant King?"
Xiao Jie was thinking about how to answer.
Suddenly, Long Xing Tian Xia received a private message.
Dragon Travels the World: Did the Giant King drop any ascension items just now?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: This is hard to say. There is no clear label on the ascension props. It is just an opportunity to become an immortal or a god. So it is not certain which one is the ascension prop... Xiao Jie repeated Wen Tian Wuji's words.
Finally, he added, "But among the items dropped by the Giant King, there are several that have the potential to be Ascension items. It's just a matter of probability."
Long Xing Tian Xia: So that’s how it is. I understand. It’s better not to tell them about this, otherwise they may be blinded by greed and may do something unbelievable.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I understand.
Xiao Jie then introduced several items dropped by the Giant King.
The Giant King actually produced six orange items at once! Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
That is a legendary item. Whoever can get one of these will immediately increase his strength, and an ordinary master can directly become a top-tier master.
Especially those that can be brought into reality, they are priceless.
Yulong Zai Tian couldn't help but say: "President, why don't we also attack the next BOSS!"
Zilong Wushuang also said: "Yes, yes! If we just get a few orange equipment, the strength of our guild will be greatly improved."
Long Xingtianxia shook his head and said, "Why rush? No matter how good something is, you have to be alive to enjoy it. Don't you see how many people died in the First Dynasty?
The next two world bosses we got were only level 40, and they probably wouldn't give us any good stuff. We only have one life, so we should use it wisely. So we should continue to conserve our strength.
Besides, killing small monsters can bring a lot of rewards. The bosses we just killed also dropped several purple items."
As soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down immediately. Losing hundreds of people in one battle was a bit tragic, and this was even with the help of NPCs.
More than a hundred lives were exchanged for two orange drops, what a huge loss.
In comparison, Xiao Jie got an orange drop with his own efforts, which was a much better deal.
Although they got a few pieces of purple equipment by killing monsters and small bosses, there were hundreds of people in a guild, so there were not enough to go around.
Xiao Long Xia: "Brother Sui Feng, do you have any experience to share with me in this battle? We brothers also want to get some equipment. If we don't have orange equipment, purple equipment will be fine."
Xiao Jie thought about it and didn't hide it.
“The strength of the World Boss lies in its ability to kill people in seconds. Even a high-end player at level 30 or so, with over a thousand HP, can be killed in one move. This is very scary.
Ordinary mid-level players will basically get nothing if they go up there.
Moreover, the world boss seems to have a dominant body, and his control skills are greatly reduced. He basically cannot be controlled for a few seconds. Only the magical skills used by those real people are effective.
Moreover, the attack frequency of the World BOSS is frighteningly fierce. There is absolutely no gap between the attacks of the Giant King, leaving no one a breather. The attack range is large and the attack power is strong. No matter whether it is a power tank or an agile front row, they will hardly be able to stand up to it.
That’s why the First Dynasty suffered such heavy casualties.
When dealing with this kind of BOSS, the advantage of numbers is not obvious, and relying on a group of people is the worst option.
The most economical and practical tactic is to rely on a small number of experts to attack safely from a very long safe distance, allowing the NPC to bear the majority of the damage.
Moreover, it is not enough to just be far away, you also have to be able to fly. You have to know that the Giant King is extremely fast, as fast as a galloping horse. If you stand on the ground and output too much damage, you will easily be targeted by the Giant King, and once targeted, it is easy to lose your life.
But if it could fly, it would be much safer. The world boss also has to obey the laws of physics and it is impossible for it to just fly into the sky to claim you.
I think the next two world bosses should be in a similar situation."
After Xiao Jie finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
There are very few players who can fly, and those who can perform ultra-long-range attacks while flying are even rarer.
Xiao Jie also deeply realized this point. The Storm Thunder Eagle's ability to transform was really a big advantage.
Scorpio is unique.
It can fly, output damage from a long distance, and also deal spell damage. It is simply an excellent ability to get kills and deal damage.
It is worthy of being the incarnation of a top-level demon beast.
"President, I think I can give it a try." Xiaobailong suddenly said.
"you?"
"That's right, but you have to lend me your dragon blood horse."
Xiao Bailong is a mounted archery general who specializes in bows and arrows, a master of kites, and has high long-range damage output. The Dragon Blood Divine Horse has the skill of walking in the air, and theoretically can achieve the effect of flying a kite in the sky as Xiao Jie said.
"As long as you can get into the top six in terms of damage, you can get orange equipment. As long as you can get into the top 12, you can get purple equipment. President, I think it's worth a try."
Long Xing Tianxia pondered for a moment, "Okay, it's settled. I will arrange for people to scout your formation. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately and don't be stubborn."
Here, Long Xingtianxia arranged tactics and prepared to get something for free.
Xiao Jie's private message popped up again.
Bai Ze: Brother Feng, I want to try it too.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Are you sure?
Bai Ze: I can now fly with a sword, and I can attack from a distance while flying, but I can't do it for long.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Okay, if you really want to go, go ahead, but be careful and cooperate with me. I just finished communicating with my teammates.
The person who convinced others with virtue sent a private message.
Conquer people with virtue: Brother Suifeng, can you please let me have a word with you?
Xiao Jie greeted Long Xingtianxia and walked forward.
The First Dynasty's lineup was originally quite strong, and could barely be considered to have divided the world into one third. However, after the battle just now, more than half of their people were missing. Some died, and some were directly retreated.
At this moment, there were only a few dozen people standing sparsely around Yide Fu Ren, which looked quite shabby.
"I'm planning to disband the guild." Yide Furen said with emotion.
"Once I open the seal and get the things inside, I won't be playing around anymore, regardless of whether there's an opportunity to ascend or not." He told Xiao Jie the truth as soon as they met.
Originally, the profession of Qi Zong was already the pinnacle of Qigong masters, and he now had almost no room for advancement. That was why he chose to give it a try and try for the opportunity to ascend.
Now that he had the item in his hands, no matter whether it was real or fake, he wasn't going to gamble again.
"You just saved my life. I don't like to owe favors to others. Take this."
As he said this, he directly traded something with others.
When Xiao Jie saw it, he was immediately shocked—Dragon Bone Hammer·Star Crushing!
Damn, this is an orange weapon.
Xiao Jie did not click on the transaction directly, but asked: "Are you sure? This is an orange weapon."
"Humph, it's just a piece of equipment. Take it. Don't be polite to me. I won't be able to use it in the future anyway."
"What about your brothers? Won't they say anything?" Xiao Jie asked again.
It's not that he is a talkative person, but having worked in a studio and run a gold group, Xiao Jie knows very well how much trouble players can cause for the equipment in the game.
Not to mention this game.
So many people died to exchange for two pieces, and now they have to be given away. If the boss does this, wouldn’t his brothers be disheartened?
Although the item is good, it is not worth it if you cause a lot of hatred for a piece of equipment.
Yide Furen explained: "What can they say? I gave them 10 million each. Besides, this hammer can't be divided, so I might as well give it to you.
But since you said so, I'm shamelessly asking you to do me another favor. Please help me find the location of this seal. I know that you Longxiang intelligence is very powerful, but I don't have any clues about where this Zhenyue Stone Seal is used. "
"No problem." Xiao Jie responded happily.
After completing the transaction and looking at the extra orange equipment in his backpack, Xiao Jie felt it was a bit unreal. His luck today was too good.
I got two legendary items from one BOSS. It would be awesome if I can be so lucky with the next two BOSSes.
Being so generous in winning people over with virtue, Xiao Jie actually started to care whether the ascension item in his hand would be useful.
Before the army started to teleport, Xiao Jie approached the altar.
"Brother Chen, do you think there will be an ascension item among the items dropped by the Giant King? Is there really only one ascension item in each expansion pack?"
Chen Tianwen seemed to know what he was asking when he asked this question, and said calmly: "Not necessarily. After all, this kind of expansion pack event is the first time. These game mechanics are what I heard from them when I was in the Pantheon. They may not be completely correct. Who knows?"
Although he said so, Xiao Jie could tell that Chen Tianwen was not optimistic that one could ascend to heaven by winning people over with virtue.
“But there is one thing I can be sure of, the Nameless Taoist Scripture must be a tool for ascension, and this is proven by the immortal’s inscription. Now that we have a definite goal, why should we care about other things?
Let's go, there are still two battles to fight. Brother Xiao's transformation spell is very powerful. If it is operated properly, there is a good chance that he can get two more items dropped by the World BOSS. But Brother Xiao also needs to be careful. The battle just now was watched by everyone. I'm afraid many people have already seen the key skills to get the items dropped by the World BOSS.
Next time you join the battle, I'm afraid you won't be the only one."
Soon, tens of thousands of troops gathered on the Qiankun formation, and the formation was arranged in an orderly manner. Wentian Wuji ascended the altar and activated the Qiankun movement formation again.
Wentian Wuji waved his command flag, and the 108 flags around the magic circle floated into the air at the same time, dancing in the air.
The seven Taoist priests from Xuanxu Palace who came to help injected their magic power into the magic circle at the same time, and the huge magic circle around the altar immediately lit up.
The flags disappeared into the air one by one, and in their place appeared mountains, rivers, high mountains and valleys, plains and mountain ranges out of thin air... as if all the nine provinces were included in this magic formation.
The scenery changed, the perspective quickly pulled up to the sky, and then quickly moved. In an instant, a scene thousands of miles away appeared above the magic circle...
This time, what appeared before everyone's eyes was the vast scene outside Longhua City.
The scene was half real and half unreal at first, but soon it gradually became real. When the 108 battle flags reappeared, the surrounding city and wilderness all became real scenes.
Are we there already? Xiao Jie stood in the Longxiang Nation's square formation, looking at the unfamiliar scenery around him. He never thought that teleporting tens of thousands of troops at once would be so convenient and fast.
Just as they were preparing to go to the battlefield, they saw several messengers riding towards them, holding command flags and shouting.
"Heroes from all sides, the governor has ordered that we have found a way to win this battle. We should use the force of thunder and lightning to take the enemy's leader. However, the enemy leader is brave and has fierce warriors guarding him. Therefore, we will recruit warriors and heroes to join us in this great cause. Together with the four real people, we will kill the enemy chief.
Anyone who is willing to sign up to participate in the war can report to the four real people.
If there is any success, there will be a reward. "
Wherever the messenger's shout went, a system task popped up on the screens of all players.
System prompt: The mission [Action of Killing the General] has been triggered. The four real men are ready to join forces to kill the enemy general in front of the battle formation in order to quickly defeat the enemy. To this end, they are recruiting heroes and warriors to join the battle. Now the order to recruit talents has appeared in front of you. It's time to seize the opportunity and show your bravery and courage.
Mission objective: Participate in the [Operation Killing Generals] led by four real people, and complete at least one of the following three achievements in the operation to obtain basic rewards.
1. Armor Breaking and Edge Destroying: Causes damage of more than 1% of the target BOSS's health.
2. Lock the enemy: Cause hard control of the target for at least 1 second, or soft control for more than 10 seconds.
3. Kill the guards and seize the flag: Eliminate at least one guard member of the target.
Mission Rewards——
Basic rewards: Liuhuozhou, Longhuazhou, Fengyinzhou reputation +1000, 100 taels of silver.
Advanced rewards: ????
Hey, a task has been issued, and it’s an open task. Anyone can sign up.
However, it is obvious that this mission is not prepared for ordinary people. Not to mention anything else, just following four real people deep into the enemy camp is something that ordinary people cannot do at all.
That means you have to take the enemy general's head among thousands of troops, and there are also KPI indicators.
But Xiao Jie naturally had to sign up.
He went straight to the Four Immortals and signed up for the war. The Four Immortals were quite polite to Xiao Jie's joining. After all, he had already proved his strength before.
Then more and more people came to report.
As expected on Long Xiang's side, Xiaobailong and Bai Ze signed up one after another, and then An Ran also signed up.
There were also a few people who signed up from the Aoao Niubi Empire, and judging from their equipment, they were obviously well prepared.
What surprised Xiao Jie was that there were actually several individual players who signed up.
What surprised Xiao Jie even more was that he actually saw an acquaintance.
"Hey, fondant steamed cake? Why are you here?" Xiao Jie asked in surprise, looking at the fondant steamed cake he hadn't seen for a long time.
