Chapter 92 The rescue operation and Zhou Cang’s clues!
Under Hang Yu's gaze.
The rescue operation organized by players has begun!
A total of fifty-eight people participated this time, including seven level 8 players, thirteen level 7 players, sixteen level 6 players, and twenty-two level 5 players. This lineup is truly luxurious.
Their goal is to liberate the enslaved indigenous people and then bring these indigenous people back to the territory so that they can become subjects loyal to the lord like the villagers in Hexi, thus contributing to the prosperity of the territory.
Because the actions are fully disclosed in the forum.
Tens of thousands of cloud players are paying attention and making suggestions.
There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the players, including corporate executives and academic masters, psychology masters, special operations experts, and masters in various fields.
Relying on the intelligence collected by Brother Rui, the Scourge Legion made sufficient preparations for this operation, including not only the gathering of personnel and the arrangement of tactics, but also plans for various possible situations, and even a speech on how to persuade the villagers. All ready.
Hang Yu said with satisfaction: "These players are really active!"
Xiaoba: "The owner's territory is in urgent need of labor. If these local refugees can be moved to Shangyang Township or Heting Township to rebuild the town, this can also increase the territory's population recruitment limit."
really.
To the lord.
Territory and population are too important.
Hang Yu nodded slightly: "There are less than ten dragon lizards stationed in this camp. It is not a big problem to capture them with the strength of this player. It is just that it is not easy to bring the people back."
Xiaoba: "The master's Luoshui base camp is currently protected by the will of the stars. It will not be invaded by the abyss or the power of the stars for the time being. The act of transferring the refugees is not an invasion, so there are no restrictions in this regard, but the enemy lords will not sit idly by. ”
In other words.
It is not difficult to free the enslaved villagers.
The difficulty is how to bring these villagers back safely.
Hang Yu generally would not directly interfere with the players' spontaneous actions, but this action was to contribute to the territory after all, so it was necessary to make some arrangements, so he summoned several level 10 personal guards in front of him.
【Essence-20000! 】
[Your "Abyss Warrior: Zhang San" has reached level 11! 】
【Essence-20000! 】
[Your "Abyss Warrior: Li Si" has reached level 11! 】
【Essence-20000!】
[Your "Abyss Warlock: King Five" has been raised to level 11! 】
【Essence-20000!】
[Your "Abyss Monk: Zhao Liu" has reached level 11! 】
After thinking about it, Hang Yu used 80,000 abyss essence to upgrade four soldiers to level 11. When the bottleneck from level one to level two was broken through, each soldier was transformed and his strength could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
"Zhang San!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Immediately lead your team to respond near the fog gate of the abyss. If all the players are killed or injured, or the refugees begin to suffer a large number of casualties, you can intervene according to the situation. Of course, the premise is to protect yourself."
"As you command!"
Now you can feel a little more at ease.
Of course, it is very expensive to train a high-level soldier, and Hang Yu does not want his soldiers to be damaged, so if he encounters an enemy that exceeds his soldiers' ability to cope, he will naturally focus on protecting himself.
…………
The dragon lizard people's base camp.
Lord Red Scale is still angry.
"They are just despicable humans! How dare you take the initiative to attack and kill my soldiers!"
Not long ago, Ye Limeng, Artist President Pai and others took advantage of a small army to spawn monsters in the Stone Monster Valley and suddenly attacked, causing the loss of five soldiers.
Although for Chilin, who had thousands of soldiers, the loss of only five soldiers was nothing, but it undoubtedly made him feel that his dignity had been challenged.
"Why do you need to be angry, Lord?"
At this time, a dragon lizard general holding a big black gun comforted and said: "It is very difficult for humans to train a high-level soldier. Although the lord has lost a few soldiers, it is basically insignificant to you, but the opponent's losses are several times or even ten times." times."
This dragon lizard is called Black Fang.
Soldiers who are not the lord's dependents.
Like Red Scale, he is a citizen of the stars.
The reason why Black Fang appears in Red Scale's territory is simply because Black Fang is a general unit hired by Red Scale.
Not only can the lord hire production professionals such as weapon refiners and alchemists from the Land of Stars, but after building specific buildings, they can also recruit employees with combat functions, but such employees can usually only hire members of the same race.
"This human being really has no self-awareness!"
Black Teeth sneered and said: "It is impossible for a human to win. The only correct and smart way is to put down the resistance and surrender. In this way, you may be able to win the magnanimity of the adults and let him stay after accepting the territory and paying the ransom for his life." Go back to the stars with your life."
Red Scale didn't have time to speak.
I received another reminder from the Will of the Stars.
【Your "Warrior of the Abyss" is dead! 】
[Your "Abyss Mage" is dead! 】
【……】
[Your building "Tower of Slavery" has been destroyed! 】
Chi Lin roared and burst out with strong murderous intent, causing the hall to shake slightly. Everyone present, including Hei Ya, felt the tremendous pressure.
"My mining camp is under attack!"
"These despicable humans are seeking death!"
Through the Lord's perspective, Lord Redscale noticed that a slave camp in the southernmost part of Woniu Mountain had been attacked. The seven soldiers deployed there were outnumbered and were being wiped out by humans.
The lord was angry.
He also felt a little puzzled.
What serious illness does this human lord have? Why would he waste his troops on such a resource camp that has no strategic value? This behavior will not play any role in territorial competition except annoying himself.
Chi Lin estimated that this human lord was a novice with no strategic vision. He might have used some method to forcefully develop the army in the initial map for several years, so he managed to build a reasonably sized army.
But no matter how clumsy and developed the initial map is, there is a limit.
Soldiers will be exhausted very quickly if you play this way.
How stupid.
"Black Fang!" Chilin said in a cold tone: "You can take a walk."
Black Tooth immediately accepted the order and said: "Yes, Lord, please rest assured, none of them can escape in my hands!"
After accepting the order, the dragon lizard general immediately led his troops through the core of the territory and teleported to the blessing teleportation point closest to Woniu Mountain, and then quickly entered the Woniu Mountain area.
Lord Dragon Lizard has been operating and developing in the Woniu Mountain area for almost a year or two. There are activated blessing points in all directions of Woniu Mountain. It won't take long for Hei Ya and others to arrive near their destination.
These humans can hardly fly!
…………
at the same time.
In the slave camp.
Players get together for a meeting.
Behind them is the burning Tower of Slavery.
This star building is not strong. When more than a dozen mages take turns to fire arrows, it will be burned into a torch, thereby losing the ability to forcibly restrain the indigenous villagers in the camp.
All seven garrisoned dragon lizard soldiers were killed.
The player received a total of 210 magic crystals in one go, plus more than 35,000 essences, and thirty or forty pieces of dragon lizard equipment. In addition, there were additional contribution point rewards. With such gains alone, this trip was not in vain.
Of course.
The casualties were not light either.
Players suffered fifteen casualties.
They were seizing the time to rush to meet up. "We made it!"
"Hurry up and take a photo! Hurry up and take a photo!"
"Hahaha, this mission seems not as difficult as imagined."
"..."
This battle is a very novel experience for most players, and its significance is not just to defeat monsters and upgrade, but to save the fellow villagers living in this land from the demon lord.
Compared with ordinary monster hunting.
Can the sense of achievement be the same?
Brother Heitong Rui said with a serious expression: "Don't take it lightly, everyone. This task is not so easy to complete. The challenges we need to face have just begun now!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Midnight Pig Killer Man: "I just realized why the prompt to complete the task never appears?"
Brother Heitong Rui said: "Because this mission is divided into two stages. The first stage is to successfully rescue the indigenous villagers, and the second stage is to persuade and help these villagers return to the territory."
Niu Shisan said: "Shenshi, Chenxi, and Xiaolingdang have already gone to communicate with the villagers. We are all human beings, and these villagers are desperate. I don't think it will be difficult to convince them."
Brother Rui nodded: "So the key to the mission is how to bring them back!"
Xianyu Tuji's expression was solemn: "This place is more than ten miles away from the Luoshui base camp. This distance is not a big deal for us, but if we have to carry seven or eight hundred civilians, it may not be easy."
"That's the problem!"
Brother Rui said: "The assessment criteria for this mission are mostly based on the survival rate of the villagers. The more villagers we can bring back, the higher the evaluation we will receive. On the contrary, the greater the number of casualties, the higher the evaluation we will receive." The lower it is, the mission may even fail!”
"It's a little difficult!"
Brother Ma: "The Three Kingdoms of the Abyss are full of monsters and dangerous traps. Even if we players are walking in the wild, we cannot guarantee 100% survival, not to mention having to carry hundreds of people with us."
Artist Mr. Pai: "Actually, it would be easier to handle if it was just a wild monster or natural threat!"
Brother Heirong Rui: "Yes, I'm afraid that the dragon lizard lord will send troops to chase us. If this is the case, it will be very dangerous. After all, with our current strength, there is no advantage in a head-on conflict, let alone protecting so many civilians."
"Can't waste any more time!"
"Time is life now!"
"We must race against time and leave quickly!"
"..."
At this time, the eight female players responsible for communication, including Demon Demon, Chen Xi, Xiao Ling Dang, and Tsing Yi Fox, came back. They were accompanied by four elders and one young man who should be the representatives of this group of villagers.
Among them, this young man with a strong build and a simple face is quite good.
[Chen Shi], a level 5 elite unit... Introduction: The son of the village chief of Xiaochen Village and the captain of the militia.
"All righteous heroes come to the rescue!"
"A great kindness!"
"No repayment!"
"We've understood it and discussed it."
"We are willing to follow you all and join Mr. Hang Yu!"
"..."
While several village representatives were speaking.
Hundreds of other people knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
This scene shocked the players, and they quickly stepped forward to help a few elders.
"useless!"
"useless!"
"Old sir, please get up quickly!"
Brother Heitong Rui hesitated for a moment before saying: "Although our lord is kind-hearted and will definitely take you in, this trip is likely to have many twists and turns and is very dangerous. I hope you can be mentally prepared for the worst!"
Chen Shi said: "Our village was destroyed by aliens. Now we have nowhere to go. We have to fight for any chance of survival!"
Another fellow villager nodded and said: "You righteous men have no connection with us, but you saved us from fire and water regardless of your own safety. Even if we die on the road, we can't blame others. We only hope to hold grass and tie a ring in the next life to repay our great kindness." !”
Seeing these suffering villagers in front of me.
Especially when faced with the survival instinct bursting out in their eyes.
Every player feels a heavy sense of responsibility.
Even if I usually like to be funny and playful, it's hard to laugh at this moment.
Although reason tells them that these people are just a bunch of data packaged in ultra-realistic art modeling, they are just NPCs in the game. Don't take them too seriously. Even if the rescue fails, there is no need to incur too much moral burden.
But seeing these suffering faces, through pairs of eyes full of sincere gratitude and hope, it is difficult for players to regard them as game characters. They only feel that they are real people with flesh and blood and soul.
Be sure to take them back!
This operation has nothing to do with the mission.
Players don't care at all at the moment how many rewards they get from the mission.
Even if there is no mission as a driving force, it doesn't matter even if they pay the loss. As long as they can bring these people back alive, it is worth it. The mere material reward is nothing compared to the spiritual sense of accomplishment.
"Without further ado!"
"Let's go quickly!"
"The dragon lizard pursuers will come back soon!"
Dozens of players quickly organized the villagers and began to move towards the fog gate of the abyss.
The monster came over and said to the other players: "There are a total of 785 villagers. Fortunately, most of them are young and strong. If everything goes well, we can return to the base camp in three hours."
Brother Heitongrui asked: "When will Lao Ye and the others arrive?"
Ye Limeng was one of the fifteen players who had just died. He accidentally triggered a trap because he rushed too hard, so he died heroically.
Yi Jian came to the west and said: "Boss Ye and the others rushed here as soon as possible after they were resurrected. They should be running maps in Woniu Mountain now, and they will probably return to the team soon."
Crazy Sword Old King nodded and said: "Okay, there is strength in numbers, not to mention Old Ye is one of our most important combat forces!"
Xianyu suddenly asked: "Sprite, have you obtained any important intelligence clues from these villagers?"
Speaking of which.
The monster suddenly became interested.
She immediately said: "I found that the time in different areas is really different. The historical time of Luoshui execution ground happened before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the historical time of Woniu Mountain happened after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In addition, the historical time of Luoshui execution ground happened after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It has been running in the abyss timeline for twenty years, and this place has been developing in abyss time for forty years.”
"Forty years? So long!"
"Is it possible that the more serious the contamination, the longer the contamination lasts."
"There are currently too few samples to verify whether there is an inevitable connection between the two. We can make more observations in the future, but it is too early to draw such a conclusion now," said Xiao Mei.
Chen Xi said on the side: "With this world view background, I suddenly thought of many interesting developments."
The demon asked: "What?"
Chen Xi said: "The longer a region develops in the abyss timeline, the greater the deviation of local development from the historical origin. If the abyss pollution in some places has reached hundreds or thousands of years, then theoretically speaking, the local Technology, culture, and folk customs must have undergone earth-shaking changes since the end of the Han Dynasty.”
The demon's eyes lit up: "This is indeed true. From this point of view, the painting styles in different regions of the Three Kingdoms may be very different. Depending on the environment and character development in different regions, completely different ecologies will eventually be derived."
"What do you mean?" Xianyu scratched his head: "Steam Three Kingdoms? Cyber Three Kingdoms?"
"You might as well be a little more bold."
"I can't think of that."
"Haha, I'll see you later!"
Brother Heitongrui asked at this time: "Is there any other news?"
The demon demon changed the topic at this time: "Yes, we have spied a little bit of information about this area. This may be related to Zhou Cang, who is currently the most suspected BOSS."
As soon as I heard Zhou Cang.
Other players were immediately interested.
Speculations about setting are too far away from the present.
Zhou Cang is the big BOSS that everyone is likely to encounter next!
