Chapter 2315 The beginning is the end
More than two thousand years ago, there was a young man named Jude Kazmore. In order to repay the kindness of Marquis Finn, he joined the guards under his command. In the team, although his talent was relatively mediocre, he rose to the position of squad leader within half a year with his stubbornness and enthusiasm, as if he had reached the upper limit of what his talent could achieve.
Not only that, because he has an easy-going personality and is fair in dealing with things, he is very popular among the guards. In addition, even the Marquis himself has an impression of the dirty little pickpocket back then. He was occasionally taken care of in every aspect, and many people jokingly said that little Jude reached the pinnacle of his life at such a young age, and that his life was worth it.
Although he himself did not agree with this statement in his early years, after he rescued a certain rabbit half-orc girl during a patrol and developed a relationship with her to discuss marriage, Jude himself I also feel...that my life seems to be worth it.
Not only that, but maybe it wasn’t because he lost his virginity when he fell in love. Jude, who was originally stuck at the peak of the intermediate level for three years, unexpectedly advanced to the next level in a daze and came to his senses. Later, he became a master of swordsmanship with high-level strength, and he could even vaguely feel that high-level might not be his limit!
Let me tell you something, even if placed in most bard stories, this guy's situation would make him worthy of being a protagonist. After all, he was stuck at the peak of the intermediate level for three years, and after falling in love, he was directly promoted to the high level. Things are already exaggerated enough. If you add the fact that you can see the epic threshold as soon as you enter the high level...Tsk, let's put it this way, no matter how pure the love is, if you add a little polish to the story, it will be enough. He had to be adapted into ten or eight confidantes, such as the Saint of Fertility, the Night Witch, the clever fox girl, the dragon girl in disguise, etc., and then she was forced to wander around the world because the family she was loyal to was exterminated. By chance, he discovers a shocking conspiracy, and finally goes through many hardships and kills the villain whose true identity is the father of a smart fox girl——
Hey! A cheap story worth at least three copper coins!
Unfortunately, the good talk in the story only belongs to the story after all, and in reality Jude did not live a life like a bardic story. The only intersection between his life and the above-mentioned nonsense , it’s this kind of thing where ‘the loyal family was wiped out’.
Not only that, even the matter of annihilation is just a self-directed and self-acted play.
However, this so-called 'drama' is real throughout. Whether it is provoking the royal authority, rebelling, or attacking the important city in the southern part of the empire, it is all real.
And the final annihilation of the door is also annihilation in a literal sense, from top to bottom, annihilation without leaving any chickens or dogs behind.
Of course, what happened next has nothing to do with Jude, because he died on the banks of the Samler River outside [Black Onyx City] long before the [Nightless King] was defeated.
That’s right, because he belongs to the Guards of Marquis Fenn who are extremely loyal to the Violet family, even though he is not the most powerful Tiger Fang Army among his colleagues, Jude was still forcibly sent to [Unknown] after receiving the military order. Under Ye Hou, he only had ten minutes to say goodbye to his wife before leaving.
Although he was only a small captain, and although he did not understand the games between the big shots, Jude, who was good at observing words and emotions, saw the expression of the captain and realized that this trip was probably destined to end in death. There is no return.
He was not a saint, so he didn’t bother with the drama of pretending to break off all ties with his wife before leaving, but in fact he just wanted to save his lover. He just picked up the delicate rabbit girl and turned her around as he usually did when traveling. He promised to bring her more northern specialties when he comes back.
Then, Jude set off with the large army and arrived at the border town where the Nightless King was located. After a brief reorganization, he went all the way north and reached the outskirts of the Black Onyx City.
Of course, it is said that they are going to kill, but before the siege begins, Jude, like most of his colleagues, acts as a 'spectator', usually whenever they arrive at the so-called war zone. , those enemies have been crushed by the elites at the front.
At that time, Jude and a few close friends secretly discussed whether the rhythm would be the same all the way. In the end, second-rate soldiers like us would go back to our homes without fighting. By the way, because I came out, I took a trip to get promoted or something.
Of course, Hu Kan belongs to Hu Kan. They are big soldiers and not big fools. Naturally, they can’t not see that this is a team with no life until this moment. In fact, the one with Jude The army pharmacist who was talking nonsense in the middle of the night took advantage of the darkness of the night to become a deserter and ran away without a trace while taking a piss.
Not only that, the bitch even carefully collected some specific information on the [Nightless King] army before leaving, including but not limited to the number, types of troops, and supplies, intending to sell it to the seller for glory, and use this I thought I had very important information and went to [Black Onyx City] to get the job of Smoke Shooting General (the Cangyue Empire has given gold-plated sinecures to aristocratic children since ancient times. It is responsible for beating drums to burn smoke and boost morale before war. It is also often used as a reward for those who are very powerful. Those who have made contributions but have no ability are good for nothing except their reputation to bluff others.)
In the end, this guy didn't even see the city lord, but was beheaded by two guards at the city gate who heard the whole story. There are two reasons. On the one hand, normal soldiers generally despise such traitorous deserters. Look at that military doctor. The villain was even more angry. On the other hand, the scout troops of [Black Onyx City] were trained extremely well by a certain ancestor. The information that such low-level soldiers can steal has no value at all. .
As a result, this shameless deserter was killed on the spot, but his story spread. To this day, in the folk proverbs of the Violet Empire, there is "When the enemy comes, I will be the first one." "Being a general" is a ridicule full of irony and contempt for such despicable actions as desertion.
However, putting aside the despicable military doctor, most of the soldiers who fled on the way [Nightless King] went north simply did not want to die, because everyone knew that in the open, When they rebel against the royal family and only two marquis families respond, the ultimate fate of both the Nightless King and his warriors can only be death.
After all, not to mention the increasingly violent royal family in recent hundreds of years, even a few hundred years ago, this kind of blatant rebellion would have killed everyone, at most, only a few relatives would be killed. .
But Jude, a high-level powerhouse who might not be caught even if he ran away, did not choose to leave. Perhaps he really felt that his life was worth his time. Although he did not treat Finn He was so loyal that he was insanely loyal, and he didn't consider himself a dead soldier, but he still followed the army to [Black Onyx City] in the end.
Then, Jude's story ends.
War is so cruel. On the night after the army arrived, [Nightless King] issued an order to attack the city. But this time, whether it was the cavalry of the Culles family or the tiger fangs of the Fenn family, Neither the army nor the Black Crow Guard under [Nightless King] appeared on the main battlefield. Instead, they were arranged to raid the formation in the rear, recharging their energy and looking down with a cold eye.
Jude, as the main force in the second round of siege, died in silence at the top of the [Black Onyx City] after the sun set the next day.
It was just an ordinary attempt, and Jude's death was just the cheapest and most insignificant price among the many costs for both parties.
After showing high-level strength and killing several defenders head-on, he was targeted by the elite scouts of [Black Onyx City] and was surrounded and killed by three people.
It's still hot-blooded, but not spectacular.
The person who killed him was unknown, and the name Jude Kazmore became history at that moment.
This is the second day of the Frost Moon, 7215 in the Holy Calendar. This kind of history did happen.
However——
At the same moment on the same day, under the [Black Onyx City] in the mirror space S7215-3690, Jude Kazmore did not sink into the cold Instead of descending from Samler, he climbed up the towering southern city wall and became the first soldier to reach the top of the city.
Behind and beside him, there were countless people in military uniforms, loyal to the Nightless King, charging forward one after another, attacking the city wall that had never experienced such a test in hundreds of years.
Only because of a simple, direct, and easy-to-understand order from the person who replaced [Nightless King]:
Put in the reserve team and press forward with the main force.
In simple translation, it is - general attack!
No need to test.
No need to pull.
No need to confuse the enemy.
No need to hesitate. Press on and kill.
Kill him until his blood flows like a river, kill him until he leaves no trace of his armor, kill him until the sky is dark and the sun and the moon lose light.
There are no subtle and mysterious strategies and tactics, no pleasing transitions, no interlocking series of clever plans, there is only killing.
What kind of hundred-step deduction, what kind of bad word formation, what kind of central flowering, what kind of lion-tiger competition, what kind of wolves chewing bones, what kind of Miller blitz method, what kind of horizontal bear defense system, what kind of zipper breakthrough, these The messy and gaudy things were thrown into the bottom of the Samler River long after Mo Tan figured out where he was.
None of the above can be part of the winning formula for Haunted Church in this game.
As someone outside the field said, this game was very 'suffering' for Mo Tan. To put it more clearly, the system gave the [Haunted Church] team the 'war' The background activated the point of 'Black Brahma'. However, due to the extreme nature and particularity of this war, Mo Tan, who had long been found to have good commanding skills, actually found no room to display at all!
There is no player herald who can control the overall situation at all times and act like a finger.
He didn't have any understanding of the soldiers, so that even if he wanted to know the composition and quantity ratio of his troops, he had to look at the [Nightless King]'s tactical map.
This has never been a game that is beneficial to the [Haunted Church], or to Mo Tan, but a scalp-numbing and extremely vicious test.
In this case...
[Evil people need to be punished by evil people. 】
Behind the long table next to the king's tent, Mo Tan was holding his chin, tapping his forehead with his index finger, his eyes were solemn and cold.
Compared to ten minutes ago, when everyone left the king's tent surrounded by a large number of shikigami and undead, Mo Tan was the only one left with Yuchen. Apart from that, there were only a few background panels left in the shot. The same logistics staff were busy nearby, and even the dwarf lieutenant didn't know where he had gone.
There is no other reason. In Mo Tan's own words - everything that needs to be done has been done.
“This is a competition, not a war.”
This is what Mo Tan said to Yu Chen personally two minutes ago.
As for more, Her Royal Highness the Saint did not ask any more questions, and Pastor Hei Fan did not explain much.
Lamorlock, who was watching the game, shared his views with Gawen with a smile -
...
"Rhythm."
A bloody battle. The chief of staff of the Dreamland Theocracy, who owns a large area of land in the north of Riffen, raised his lips slightly and said with a very happy expression: "He really did not disappoint me, and he immediately seized the attacker's biggest advantage in this game. "
Jiawen Liu frowned slightly and repeated: "Rhythm? "
"That's right, only 'tempo' is something that the attacker can control. What Hei Fan does is to directly use his highest authority to maximize the rhythm, skipping all the things that may extend the battle by even an extra minute. section, fast forward directly to the final battle."
Lamorlock clapped his hands and said with a very excited expression: "Exchange blood for blood. , exchanging injuries for injuries, directly quantifying all units on both sides into numbers to compare their sizes, discarding all factors that complicate the battle, and using the most unreasonable way to advance the direction of the game. He was not fooled, but tried his best to be beaten there. Compressed into a ridiculous performance space and struggling with high intensity, trying to simplify everything, haha... As a scheming chess player, he did not hesitate. Yu Di's determination to reduce the dimensionality of the game is really mind-numbing."
Jia Wen pondered for a moment, and after a few seconds, he looked at the image that occupied the center of the screen. A long shot of the entire southern wall of [Black Onyx City], asking: "So you mean, Black Van has regained the upper hand?"
"No, my It means that Hei Fan was not destroyed by the disadvantage, and even chose one of my favorite play styles to tear up the situation with a battle loss ratio that is unacceptable to ordinary people."
Lamorlock looked on with a smile. Watching countless soldiers falling from the city wall like dumplings, he said happily: "As for the advantage, it depends on whether the other cards he prepared can be used."
"Other cards?"
"Ms. Gawen, do you know the biggest benefit of the player team reducing the dimensionality and simplifying the battlefield?"
"I don't know."
“Want to know?”
“If you don’t want to say it, I don’t have to know it.”
"That is to allow those non-command players who would have been overwhelmed by NPCs to regain their sense of presence and then play a targeted role."
"Oh?"
" In other words, it is the difference between 'one hundred and one 1' and 'three 33, two 1'.
"So, what's the use? ”
“From a macro perspective, it is to allow teammates to play their role. ”
"What about the details?"
"That's a little secret that only the authorities know~"
