Chapter 296 The Lament of Heroes (2)(1/2)
The unexpected confrontation at the foot of the Hyjal Mountains gave Liu Yifei and Xue Lan a huge surprise!
After Xue Lan returned to the game and continued fighting, the demon side did not launch a fierce and direct attack as the two had previously imagined.
On the contrary, after testing the actual combat power of Xuelan's "mobile force", the other party uncharacteristically began to shrink its defenses...perhaps this can be understood as fear that the two human forces will join forces to lay siege to them.
~
But if there are such concerns, then why don't you retreat? Is it because you think the human race will pursue you, so you don't dare to retreat?
If the anomalies on the devil's side are excusable, the movements of the human "allies" on the other side are simply bizarre!
After the other party's first "goodwill reinforcement" took effect, they did not send any further people who could communicate with each other to find Xuelan for in-depth cooperation...
This is simply unbelievable to Xue Lan!
Could it be said that such an army of forty or fifty thousand people did not have a hero of at least spiritual level to command it?
It’s a joke that even Xue Lan wouldn’t believe~
Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Xue Lan didn't want to waste her time in this boring confrontation, so after waiting for about twenty minutes, she had to take the initiative to try to get closer to the other party...
The next reaction of the human army formation made Xue Lan continue to be shocked~
Faced with Xue Lan's approach, the other party's reaction was actually "wary"!
Swearing to the Lord of Darkness, Xue Lan never expected that the other party would react like this. She almost thought it was a misunderstanding caused by her "dungeon" status.
However, the situation remained unchanged even after dispatching an angel team. This immediately made Xue Lan aware that the situation was unusual.
Then I think back to the strange but tacit understanding of the confrontation between the two camps when I went down the mountain and noticed the other's presence...
Could it be said that the human forces here have reached some kind of secret tacit understanding with the demonic forces?
Xue Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Fortunately, the worst case did not occur. If the enemy's human and demon armies jointly attacked, they would not even have to deal with the garrison on Gesalan Mountain. After all, the two groups of enemies combined would have to number 100,000 people.
The scale of...
After a slight hesitation, Xuelan began to take the initiative to fight.
Liu Yifei's mission this time was actually not a problem in the face of the powerful military force. But as time goes by, the biggest problem now is the time limit of the mission!
There are only two days left for them, but the terrible thing is that they don't even know how big this "just opened copy" is!
I have played two rounds today for a total of three hours. But these are obviously just the prelude...
At such a fateful moment, follow-up reinforcements are about to arrive, and naturally they cannot be wasted in this meaningless confrontation at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, after Xue Lan ordered more fighting griffins and saints to stand on standby,
Leading three hundred angels, he took the initiative to launch a tentative attack on the devil's military formation over there. As for the remaining angels...
We still need to leave some support and manpower in case of unexpected events, right?
Facing the probing attacks of three hundred angels, the demons no longer showed the same excitement as before. They just used their numerical advantage to continuously push back Xue Lan's attempts, which made her quite curious about the purpose of the other party's gathering here.
What exactly is...
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like they plan to go up the mountain to attack them... Could it be that two groups of hostile forces just accidentally met here? But how is that possible?
There are countless roads leading to Mount Hyjal, and you can climb them from any slope that is not too steep. Why bother here?
If it is to block the retreat of Liu Yifei and his army...
Xue Lan seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart, but more questions came to him~
In any case, the purpose of their coming here is to eliminate the source of the undead disaster on Gesalan Mountain. Their intention can be seen from the fact that they did not take the initiative to disturb the other party when they came here.
Since Liu Yifei didn't bother the other party too much when he came here before, and his attitude was very clear, and he was seeking benefits for these local wandering forces, why would they want to cause trouble at this time?
Involuntarily, Xue Lan, who was commanding the battle, became more and more confused...
At the same time, in the strangely quiet human camp on the other side of the battlefield, a tall and strong knight hero stood on his divine horse and silently watched the angel regiment led by Xue Lan flying back and forth.
Direction. He was reciting a holy chapter praising the Lord of the Morning in a low voice. Perhaps, this behavior at the moment violates some of the original principles of the knight...
It's just that no matter whether the three parties in this weird confrontation clearly understand each other's purpose of gathering here, the confrontation situation still continues in such a weird way... Even until Xue Lan had to go offline, such an embarrassing situation could not be solved.
Be broken.
In addition to the almost exhausted mana of the angels and the few corpses of various demons of different strengths and weaknesses left behind by the demon army in the mountains and fields, Xue Lan has been "trying to attack" almost constantly for the past two or three hours, but he has been unable to do so.
Time and time again I was forced back by the opponent.
In the end, Xuelan chose to retreat to Saglan Mountain.
The situation here was so weird. She would never dare to put Liu Yifei's main and key troops here and then go offline.
God knows whether the other two strange parties will suddenly launch a sneak attack on her troops at night. In order to prevent Liu Yifei's remaining army on the mountain from being attacked by the other side due to the lack of mobile troops and saints, Xue Lan finally had to
The mobile unit pulled back again and went offline to discuss with Liu Yifei with strange news...
It seemed that the strange behavior of the demon army before was really worrying about the crash of the human race. When Xue Lan took the troops down the mountain after going online the next day, the demon army was indeed gone, but the human army also disappeared with it. He didn't even give them anything.
This expeditionary force from within the empire has some useful information and intelligence.
It's as if they have never appeared before~
But thankfully, Lei Hanyu and his army finally arrived safely! This may be the best news that Liu Yifei and Xue Lan have heard in the past two days!
An elite army of one hundred thousand mid- to high-grade mercenaries spread out like a tide over the last mountain gorge toward the vast and boundless wilderness!
When he received Lei Hanyu's army, even Xuelan couldn't help but feel angry when he stood on a high place and watched the large number of Human Kingdom troops spread out from the neat national roads into the free and rough forest.
A strange kind of shock~
The reflective wave, which seemed to be composed of armor, swords and guns, carried a sacred and indomitable momentum, attacking all creatures that dared to block it in front of it, whether it was a small number of undead wandering in the woods, or those who were free to survive.
The beasts are still spies arranged here by those barbaric forces whose enemies and friends are still unknown.
In the face of this wave of steel, everything was vulnerable to them. They just washed away like the tide overflowing the beach. There was nothing left except the forest~
This is the power of war, this is the power of destruction, and soon, this power will experience the glory that their "ancestors" once experienced in the mission copy... and the suffocating feeling.
despair......
Considering that Liu Yifei, the "dungeon activator", did not have enough time to go online, Liu Yifei did not go online until a group of people had completely gone up the mountain and completely reunited with Liu Yifei and his vanguard.
After reorganizing the army and bringing all soldiers, including players, back under his leadership, Liu Yifei entered the dungeon again.
Just as he expected!
If you want to enter this dungeon, you must be in the "team" of the player who started the mission~
Yesterday, Liu Yifei and the others only led the vanguard into the dungeon, so the "self-bred troops" of he and Xue Lan were only more than 10,000. Counting the military strength they saved and earned in the two rounds of battles, it was not even enough to add additional troops.
Make a full team.
But today, their "own military strength" has risen to nearly 100,000! It is already far more than the combat strength of an army. Even in the defensive war of 30 years ago, which was a mixture of hope and despair,
Definitely a backbone force powerful enough to turn the tide of the battle!
It's a pity that this is not a "real battle on the world map" after all. In the dungeon, the own dungeon maintains the script operation and the standard for measuring the difficulty of the battle. It does not mean that the influx of 100,000 troops can help Liu Yifei and the others win easily.
The victory of the copy...
However, the influx of a large number of new players quickly caused a fatal problem that no one had thought of before!
That’s the inequality of “copy progress”!
Due to the efforts of Liu Yifei and Xue Lan yesterday, the plot has advanced to the third act after entering the dungeon today. The two of them were promoted to the position of regimental commander due to their large number of points. They can command a maximum of 500 soldiers in the dungeon.
The battle regiment can already be regarded as a respectable combat power in the dungeon.
However, the other players are absolutely "new recruits"!
The dungeon does not exclude the influx of new players, but it will never give them any preferential treatment. How to catch up with other people's dungeon progress when falling behind depends on the deployment of the overall combat power of themselves and the player group~
The running time of the third act is three hours. Theoretically speaking, it is not entirely possible to create a group of captain-level players~
In addition to earning more military merit and increasing the strength of the player's team, when players obtain higher official positions in missions, the greatest value lies in "additional expansion of military power"!
In order to ensure that players can complete the dungeon and enjoy the fun of the game even if their "bringing military power" is slightly insufficient, the system will have a military power compensation link, giving players a certain amount of additional troops based on their military positions in this act.
For example, each player can get a full formation supplement at the beginning. Liu Yifei and Xue Lan's current non-full formation regiment each has a supplement of 300 troops.
It may not sound like much, but if all the players currently participating in the dungeon can be promoted to the rank of captain, it will be equivalent to adding an additional 600,000 troops to this campaign dungeon!!!
This kind of increase in military power can basically make the NPC military power in the original dungeon plot design cool down~ Even if you only rely on players, you can complete all legion battles!
Of course, this is just a theoretical value. It is impossible for the system to release so many tasks so that every player can get a high-level military position in the NPC army. The number of high-level military positions that can potentially be promoted depends on the legion.
The size of the instance and the ratio of the number of players to the number of tasks.
Simply put, the more resources are concentrated, the more senior officers can be promoted!
This way things will be simple~
Anyone who had experience in leading troops in the guild was naturally set as the main force to be promoted first. Even Liu Yifei was not stingy in restoring the number of mid-level angels to 500 and left 100 for these.
people to ensure that they can complete various tasks quickly.
One hundred mid-level angels were divided into twenty teams, with five players in each team, and twenty players expected to be trained as the main force were given to them. They were also given two battle griffins and three self-selected mercenaries.
In addition, there are 80 alternative non-commissioned officers. They are regarded as the core players in the player group. Each person will receive a quota of five battle griffins, two saints, and any mercenaries up to three.
To be continued...
