Chapter 104 Gambler
"What's going on?" I asked the War God in surprise.
The War God's answer was very quick, but he said it was the same as he didn't. "I don't know. I just detected that unknown energy was gathering rapidly in the space."
"Find out what's going on right away."
"It's already checking."
After explaining to the God of War, I turned to the two goddesses again and said, "You have seen it too. I don't have time to give you a slow weighing of the pros and cons. Whether to join or resist to the end, you can make a decision immediately."
Maybe I really figured it out. The combat goddess said, "We agree to join, but we have one last request."
"explain."
"Don't ask why we can come back from the dead."
"Trade." Although I want to know the answer to the question they mentioned, since they said it so directly and didn't want people to know, I had to endure it. Anyway, I'm just curious about this question, and there is no need to know the reason.
After the two goddesses agreed to join our guild, Hongyue and I were both stunned for a moment. It was not because they were willing to join, but because the expected experience value still did not appear.
"Why still have no experience to share the money?" Hongyue looked at me in surprise and asked.
"There must be enemies hiding in the city." Zhenhong said.
"No, this is unlikely." I rejected Zhenhong's guess and said: "The battle has been fought like this. There are no gods in the city that have not been killed. At least they should have been discovered. This is a large war, not a single-person assassination, and invisibility techniques and other things cannot work. I think the problem is not in the city."
"Not in the city? That's outside?" Hongyue looked at me in confusion and asked, "Didn't the gods outside be included in this battle?"
In this battle, the Russian gods are the offensive side, while our guild belongs to the defensive side. Although the end of the battle is the complete loss of combat power of the battle side, this loss of combat power does not mean death. Such as being captured, fainting, serious injury, defection, etc. can be considered as loss of combat power. However, in contrast, as long as the opponent has the will to fight and has the ability to fight, the battle will not end even if it is not present. This is the system's default battle judgment method. Unless one side clearly proposes to modify the combat ending standard when it clearly grasps the absolute victory conditions, the system will determine whether the battle has ended according to the previous basic combat ending method. Now the one who masters the victory conditions is our guild, but we have not proposed to change the combat ending method, that is, the system is still running the battle supervision system in the default mode. This system must have discovered that there are people who are hostile to us, so the battle has not ended.
"The fact that the battle judgment system has not ended means that there must be people from the Russian gods who are hostile to us. No matter where the other party is, as long as the system judges that he has the ability to intervene in this battle, it is impossible to end the battle before he gives up his sense of resistance or is killed by us. Of course, we can also use the initiative we have now to demand that the system forcefully terminate the battle, but if this is the case, I guess we will lay a hidden enemy for ourselves in the future."
The battle is not over yet, so we at least know that there is an enemy peeking at us and ready to attack us at any time. But if we end the battle, the opponent can hide and cause trouble for us at any time. If an ordinary person causes trouble for us, it would be fine. It would be not a good thing to be targeted by a god clan. In this large-scale battle like this, it is not difficult for us to destroy these god clans in one fell swoop. However, with the combat power of the god clan, once he loses the organization and becomes a lone wolf, it will be a huge trouble. At that time, he can attack wherever he wants to attack us. Our ordinary players cannot catch up and cannot defeat it. Advanced players cannot watch it all the time. Besides, our guild is so powerful that there are almost all the forces of our guilds all over the world. Just relying on the defense of experts, you have to be assigned to it? It is easy to be a thief for thousands of days, but it is difficult to defend against thieves for thousands of days!
Hongyue is not a fool either. She just didn't react before, but now she has reacted after hearing what I said. "Yes! You can't let any individual of the Russian gods escape the net, even one of them can't do it. I'll ask someone to search the nearby areas and find this target no matter what."
Although Hongyue said that she would pull out the last remnants of the Russian gods, it was a lot of effort to execute them. First of all, we are not sure who else has not been discovered. I don’t know if it was a god hiding somewhere or a group of gods scattered in some places. In short, we were blinded and we didn’t know anything. Secondly, the Russian gods are a very large area, and their internal space is no longer much smaller than the main world. Searching for a few gods who missed the net in such a large area is definitely no different from finding a needle in a haystack. Even if there are many people in our guild, they will probably not even see their personal hair when they are spilled into such a large area, let alone a network-style investigation.
Because we couldn't find any clues at all, we had no results from midnight to dawn the next day. On the contrary, there was no good news, but bad news kept appearing. First of all, there was another problem with the battle in Japan. Due to Masaki Matsumoto's strong entry and the rationality of his tactical arrangements, most Japanese guilds, although there was no reason, they finally adopted the slingshot tactic we arranged for Masaki Masaki. Everything was going well, and our guild's large force swept the entire territory of Japan.
In order to give Matsumoto Masaki Masaki the huge slingshot extension, our guild took the initiative to cooperate with us to retreat. In this way, with a fierce attack and an intentional retreat, the combat speed could be said to be a rapid increase. Later, we began to fight against the Russian gods. The reason why we dared to transfer high-level players and powerful NPCs from Japan was that the battle on the Japanese battlefield had come to an end and there was nothing to worry about, so we pulled out the senior personnel. Who knew that the matter was about to be finished, but the Japanese side suddenly had a guild-like appearance.
This newly emerged guild did not consider the strategic policy issued by Matsumoto Masaki, and adopted completely opposite tactics from other Japanese guilds. As long as our guild launched an attack, they would fight to the death. Originally, it was nothing if their guild was disobedient, but the key was that the Russian gods launched the precepts stealing plan in advance, which led to us being forced to remove all the advanced combat forces in Japan in advance. So under the crazy counterattack of that guild, our sweeping troops failed to withstand, but they snatched back two cities.
The gains and losses of two or three cities have no effect on the entire battle situation. As long as the large troops of our guild complete the encirclement, the small guild will still be over. After all, small guilds are small guilds, and we can fill them up, but they don’t have so much manpower or financial resources to resist. Therefore, even if our senior personnel are not present, they should not be able to make any storm. However, after all, we still missed the variable "Ghost Nobunaga".
Originally, due to the previous failure and Matsumoto Masaki Matsumoto's eye-catching performance, Nobunaga Ghostou was gradually squeezed out of the Japanese leadership circle. However, after the new guild counterattack and gained certain benefits, Nobunaga Ghostou popped up and began to shout that Masaki Masaki's policy was problematic, saying that since someone had won, it means that it could start a counterattack now. After that, Nobunaga Ghostou directly led his own loyalists to launch a counterattack. At this time, our guild could only be said to be empty-handed, and no real powerful troops were present. Nobunaga Ghostou led people to fight like this, so how could we block it? As a result, Nobunaga Ghostou won a huge victory, and based on this, the time for counterattack was here to let other Japanese guilds launch a counterattack with him.
Although Masaki Matsumoto is the leader of the Japanese guild, his status has not been very stable after he regained his position. In addition, the bosses of the Japanese guild had experienced anarchy for a period of time before, so they are all very self-aware, and the result is that their centripetal force and execution are far inferior to those in the past. Now seeing that Nobunaga Ghosto has gained actual benefits, many guilds that had already believed in Masaki Masaki's plan have now begun to sway. The powerful guilds have a special staff team and have a long-term vision and are relatively better, but the short-sighted guilds can't sit still and have started to fight back in advance. After listening to their staff team analysis, those guilds believed that Masaki Masaki was right. According to common practice, Masaki Masaki's plan is better, but people's behavior is often not determined entirely by reason. On the contrary, most of the time, people are
In fact, they act according to instinct rather than reason. Those big guilds who were originally sure Matsumoto Masaga was right saw that the small guilds got benefits, began to worry about whether they would suffer if they were too late to take action. Then some big guilds that could not withstand the temptation began to gradually break away from their original plans and joined the counterattack. With the lead, other big guilds no longer care about rationality and irrationality. Although they could fatten the pigs and eat more meat, there are now other wolves gnawing on this pig. If they don’t talk about fat pigs, they may not be able to catch bones. Under this idea, almost all the Japanese guilds violated the previous agreement and entered the counterattack in advance. Then they were surprised to find that the offensive power of our guild was actually very weak, and then naturally, large tracts of territory were taken back, and the entire Japan gradually returned to the hands of Japanese players at a faster speed than before.
The situation in Japan is pretty good. Although the Japanese guild is now collectively counterattacking and our plan is temporarily frustrated, the plan itself is not very problematic. As long as we end the battle here and transfer the elite forces back to hurt the Japanese, the problem here will naturally be solved. What really makes us feel embarrassed is the troubles here.
Because we have drawn a large number of elite troops into the divine realm to wipe out the Russian gods, the result is that the troops on the Russian battlefield are empty. Although we have already shrunk our defense line and want to gather together on a large scale to scare the Russians, this plan has not worked. The Russians are characterized by their preference for recklessness. The more dangerous they are, the more they are rushing up. Anyway, there are many people and they don’t care about casualties at all. If players from other countries find out that our guild has reduced their troops on such a large scale, they will inevitably think that we are planning some major actions. Generally speaking, a large number of scouts should be sent to inquire about it at this time, but the Russian commander ordered the entire Russian invading army to assemble into a force, and then rushed towards our large army directly.
Although the large troops we assembled were quite large, and the masters were a little bit too, the problem was that the Russians had more troops and all senior personnel were present. Once the two sides met, the higher the superiors were immediately judged. Our joint legion was completely defeated without any decent resistance. Without advanced players to suppress the formation, our defensive formation could not be maintained at all. After several raids by the top Russian masters, the defense line completely collapsed. Once the opponent pressed the large army, the entire legion would be completely disbanded.
Now the Russians not only defeated the army group that our guild used to deal with them, but what's worse is that they have invaded China's hinterland, which means that the strategy of changing space and time we used before has been invalid. The rear is our densely populated area, and there is no way to retreat. Moreover, in order to prevent Russian players from damaging like the little Japanese back then, we still have to carry out habits to resist, which makes the already collapsed legion even more loss.
So much unfavorable news broke out overnight, which really made us scratch our heads in a hurry. But at this time, all the elite troops in our guild were dragged into the Russian God Realm. It is of course useful to end the battle and let these senior personnel go back, but once this ends, what should the or group of gods who escape the net do? If you really don’t care, it will be an irregular bomb! Do you know when they will come out to deal with us again?
"I had known this time that I would not have taken on this task!" I sat in the control room next to the God of War and said with a depressed look on my face. There were many scenes floating near us, and those were leaders of the guild who had not entered the God Realm, and even Masaga Matsumoto appeared in the picture.
Hearing my self-blame, Hongyue was the first to comfort her: "You can't blame you for this! Who would have thought that so many things would suddenly happen?"
The War God also said: "That's right. The reaction of the Japanese guild is a simple herd mentality, but the previous reckless guild was strange, and it didn't seem to be spontaneous. And the Russian side, to be honest, I really don't understand which military academy their commander graduated! He actually sent out the entire army in a row if he couldn't even understand such obvious tactical changes!"
It’s okay for Japan to say, after all, it seems that someone is behind the scenes, so no wonder others. But Russia is strange. This time the Russian army took advantage of the other party’s commander. It was entirely because of the blind command of the other party’s commander. It was like Zhuge Liang sang an empty city plan, but he was not a smart and cautious general, but a reckless man who could run a train in his brain nerves. He would be fine if you fight. No matter how good the empty city plan is, even if Zhuge Wuhou was alive, he would probably be angry to death. No wonder even the cold-hearted computer of the Military God is a bit angry.
"You just said that the situation in Japan seems to be manipulated by someone?" Su Mei suddenly asked this question.
"What? Have you found something?" I turned to the picture where Sumi was. Although her intelligence was almost a monster, Sumi was not a fighter after all, so we didn't bring her in this divine battle.
Sumi held her chin with one hand and said while thinking: "If only Japan has an accident this time, I don't think it's a problem, but there are problems on both sides of our battlefields at the same time, I think this is probably not a coincidence."
"you mean……?"
"The Russian gods should have sent people to notify the Russian players, and then the Russian players notified the Japanese again."
"What are you notifying?" Hongyue didn't react yet.
"Fighting power." Rose Bang Sumi explained: "After contacting us, the Russian gods should have found that our combat power was more powerful than imagined. Judging from the cooperation between the Russian gods and those Russian players, the Russian gods should have a good understanding of the combat power of normal players. But this time they suddenly encountered such a strong combat guild for us. What do you think they would think of?"
"I think that we are all masters here?" Hongyue replied tentatively.
"That's right." Rose continued: "The Russian gods must have discovered that we have gathered a large number of masters here, so they thought that we must not have much advanced combat power left in the world. Later, they informed the Russian player guild, so they launched the general attack even though they knew that our troops had gathered into a large force. They were not reckless, but confident. As for the Japanese, it should have been notified by the Russians."
"In this way everything makes sense." Hongyue analyzed: "The Russians and Japanese people both knew that our high-end force was gone, so they launched an attack so bravely. But if they knew the reason, they still couldn't solve the problem!"
"No. It's easier to deal with the problem of the cause," said Rose. "The Russian gods are basically done now, so they don't want to win anyway. So why don't they end the battle yet?"
"In order to hold back the elite power of our guild, our strength in the human world has been severely damaged." Hongyue replied.
"That's right. We are a player guild no matter what, our foundation is not here. The residual power of the Russian gods hopes that our foundation on earth will be destroyed, so we drag our senior personnel to prevent us from leaving. As long as we know this, it will be easy."
"What's easy to deal with?" Hongyue still didn't understand.
I couldn't help but explain to Meigui: "It's very simple. If the other party doesn't want us to leave, then we must ensure the operation of the teleportation array. This is also the reason why the Russian gods are still unwilling to close the magic array after they found that the sealing power was at a disadvantage."
The large magic array of the Russian gods is a compound magic array. The main function of it is teleportation, and the accompanying function is sealing divine power. But there is a problem, that is, the compound magic array usually cannot be switched separately, that is, once this magic array is activated, all functions will take effect. There is no situation where only one function is turned on but not other functions. The Russian gods have not closed the teleportation array after they brought the City of Decrees and us into the Russian God Realm, which means that they are not
I think, but I can't. The ring of precepts itself represents the law, so it cannot actually be teleported. However, the magic circle itself also has a pull limit. Therefore, the Russian gods have maintained their operation after opening the teleportation array, forcing the power of the law to restore the position of the ring of precepts, so that the city of precepts will be stabilized in the Russian god realm. As long as the magic circle is closed, the entire city of precepts and the ring of precepts in it should immediately return to their original position, that is, the top of Mount Everest.
It is precisely because the teleportation magic array has to fight against the automatic restoration ability of the Ring of the Decree that the Russian gods have to keep it open. Even if they find that they cannot resist our attack without divine power, they still maintain their operation. It is not that they don’t want it, but that they cannot. If they close the magic array, the divine power will be restored, and the city of the precepts will be transmitted back to their original place. At that time, the gods of all parties will surge up, and even if they recover their divine power, they will still die. This is why they cannot close the magic array.
After understanding what the Russian gods are worried about, our next thing is actually very simple. Since they don’t want us to restore the city back to its original location, we just need to do the opposite.
"What do you mean is to destroy that super magic array?" Hongyue finally understood part of it.
"That's right, but in fact, this method can not only bring us back to the world, but also help us end the battle."
"Why?"
"Because the last remaining hostile individuals of the Russian gods should be in the core of this teleportation array. They are the last insurance for the Russian gods. If their robbery plan fails, these gods will guarantee to hold us back and destroy our guild."
"Is there any benefit to destroying us?" Hongyue asked with her big eyes open and she asked even more incomprehensible.
"this……"
"Oh, Sister Hongyue, why are you so stupid?" Su Mei couldn't help but shout: "Of course, the Russian gods will not arrange such a plan to die with us. Their purpose is to bury the gods."
"What does it have to do with other gods who have eliminated us?"
"It was nothing to do with us, but the ring of precepts is something to do with us." I explained: "Now the ring of precepts is in our hands. It seems that all the gods can ensure peace and cooperation with each other at a limited time. It can be said that they are happy. But that is just a manifestation. There is never a day when the gods really don't care about each other. Once we are done, and we have thrown such an important ring of precepts in the Russian gods, what do you think those gods will do?"
"It should be a snatch?"
"That's right." I continued, "If the ring of precepts is thrown somewhere in the world, then it's okay. At most, the gods will recover to the time when we were not before, and they will rob them, but they won't really do anything. But once that thing falls into the Russian God Realm, the fun will be great. It's easy for a god to leave his own God Realm, but it's troublesome to enter the God Realm of other gods. The other party invites you over, which is convenient, but if you don't have the permission of the other party, you have to pay a huge price to enter the God Realm, especially after entering, you have to compete for the precepts.
Under the premise of the ring of the ring, the strength of all the gods will be greatly consumed and they will be sluggish, and some gods will even be completely exterminated. At that time, the Russian gods will only have a few descendants left, and they can develop slowly. Because the gods in various places will not care about them at that time. Moreover, the gods who came to participate in the war will definitely leave a large amount of equipment in the Russian gods after their death, which will allow the remnants of the Russian gods to get some bargains to help them develop rapidly. Therefore, the Russian gods' trick is definitely a trick."
"I found that I am the simplest in our guild. You two are as smart as monkeys!" Hongyue sighed.
Su Mei smiled and said, "Sister Hongyue, don't laugh at yourself. It's good if you can think that there is a problem. The real stupid one should be Uncle Eagle. Haven't you seen that people have not dared to open their questions yet?"
"Little girl, have I offended you?" Ying pretended to be angry and made a few threatening moves at Sumei, and then said seriously: "Since you know what to do, hurry up! We can't stand it outside. In the past, we used to bully others with advanced combat power, but now we are all going backwards. Three of our soldiers can't beat two of them, so this battle is a bit awkward!"
"Okay, OK, you try your best to withstand it first. If it really doesn't work, I'll allow you to use secret weapons."
"Secret weapons? Our guild has secret weapons?" Masaga Matsumoto heard that the secret weapons were almost green in his eyes. When he was the leader of Japan, he was the end of his journey by the endless secret weapons of our guild. Now, when he heard that we had secret weapons again, he immediately raised his ears.
"Don't be excited! The so-called secret weapon is actually not a high-end thing, it just enlarges the liquefied magic crystal steam bomb."
"Zoom in? How big is it?"
"I don't remember how old it is. Anyway, it's not a problem to blow up a city at once. It's just that it costs a little too much, otherwise I'd like to send them all back to my hometown as soon as the Russian guys invaded!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Rose cursed, "Do you know how much it costs to have that thing? You still have to count the money to live in the second half of the year. You can throw all ten or eight out. What are you planning to start begging along the street next month?"
"Don't I just talk about it!" I laughed at Rose and congratulated Matsumoto Masato: "You should also hold on and try to gather all the guilds that can be closed back. Once we get our hands on it, we will clean up the Japanese guilds that don't listen to you. At that time, you can be more ruthless. If anyone asks you for protection, you just need to merge them into your guild. You can't discuss any other conditions. I understand now. You can't be too polite to deal with the Japanese!"
"Hey, boss, please take care of me as a Japanese person, okay? Please don't scold all Japanese players next time, okay?"
"Sorry, I'm just making those fence-bearers angry. Okay, what should you do, and I have to destroy that super magic circle as soon as possible."
After leaving the War God, I called a group of advanced players from our guild and powerful NPC to go directly to the core area of the super magic circle. It would be useless to bring too many people like this, so I chose very powerful characters. Although only thirty people added one piece, only thirty people could rush a large army of more than 100,000 players to pieces. Moreover, no one would be injured in this process, at most, it would be just to consume some mana.
Because we came once last time and the magic circle was running, we would have magic power emitted, so we quickly found the location of the core area. However, this core area is buried underground, so we still have to have an entrance if we want to go down. Considering that it is not easy to find a small entrance in that city as a cover, we finally adopted the most direct method and dig a hole directly from the ground and penetrated into the tunnel.
Almost as the hole was penetrated, we suddenly felt the surrounding soil tightening suddenly, and a huge pressure came, and the soil near us was pressing towards us with all the center.
"Spell - Mana Shock Wave." A player following me suddenly recited something, and the surrounding soil suddenly lost its support and took us down from the top of the high cave.
Although we suddenly fell from a high altitude and there was still soil disturbing the movement around us, none of the people present was rookies, and when they finally landed, none of them fell down, and they all stood firmly on the ground. And at the moment after landing, everyone suddenly moved neatly, and they all found a hidden place to hide. The difference between masters and rookies was clear at a glance. If ordinary people were at a loss in this situation, the masters would try their best to find opportunities for themselves. Just like now, because we were all hiding in hidden places, even if the enemy on the opposite side knew that we had come down, they could not directly attack us.
"I really didn't expect you to come." After all of us hid, a sound full of energy appeared in the passage.
"What? Are you surprised by our arrival?" I hid in the dark, releasing the ghost bug to spy on the surrounding situation while talking to the other party.
"No, I don't find it strange at all." The guy opposite said with a little frustration: "After all, we're going first, and it's not your fault that you want to kill them all."
"I didn't mean that I came here, but you Russian gods are so hospitable that you refuse to let us go!"
To be continued...
