Three days is neither long nor short.
With the game's reminder, the success rate of guarding against snow bandit sneak attacks will undoubtedly increase.
After withdrawing from the Island of Gods, Soma immediately called for Thomas and the five first-generation devout believers.
It is worth mentioning that the belief of the five people has also been improved to a certain extent with the spread of the Stone God.
Huang Xiangyu's faith is now on par with Thomas's, and he has also reached the level of a loyal believer.
The other four people have also reached the peak of fanaticism and are just one step away from joining the ranks of loyal believers.
"Just now, I got a reminder from the Stone God"
Since they were all on their own, Sumo chose to get straight to the point and directly brought to the light the Stone God that everyone was secretly discussing.
Sure enough, not only did Thomas show no reaction, but the other five people also looked as if they were taking it for granted.
What they were worried about before was that after the wild god appeared, the tribe would be punished by the 'god'.
But now, the appearance of the Stone God has not brought any harm. On the contrary, it has made the tribe's faith more cohesive and brought many benefits and changes visible to the naked eye.
If you still choose to be stubborn, you are out of your mind!
"God's reminder. We are all our own people here, so the patriarch might as well tell us directly."
Thomas glanced at the five people and said softly.
With the early foreshadowing, he was now used to Soma receiving frequent blessings from the gods.
"Okay, then I'll tell you straight."
Sumo nodded and lowered his voice, "The Stone God reminded me that in just three days, a group of snow bandits will attack our tribe!"
"Snowband?"
Thomas frowned immediately.
The expressions of the other five people changed drastically, and they inevitably felt a little panic and fear.
"What? The snow bandits are going to attack our Fire Fist tribe?"
"It's the depth of winter now. It's 30 to 40 degrees below zero outside. Are they crazy?"
"We have never offended the snowbands. What do they want to do by attacking us?"
"Could it be that the snow bandits are short of supplies and want to rob us?"
"There is really no other reason to attack us in such cold weather except for supplies!"
The vicious reputation of the snow bandits has already been proven by countless tribes being attacked, plundered, and collapsed.
Even though the strength of the Fire Fist tribe has greatly increased, several people are still feeling a little uneasy.
"What does Priest Thomas think?"
Sumo was not surprised by the reactions of several people. After all, they were ordinary people with limited vision.
When it comes to dealing with the snow bandits, Thomas, a fourth-level priest, must ultimately be the main force.
"If it's just a small wave of snow bandits attacking, it's not a big problem for us now."
"However, when I was still following the old priest Damon, in accordance with the requirements of the Priest Affairs Office, I went to a tribe that was attacked by snow bandits to deal with the aftermath, and learned a lot of information related to the snow bandits"
Thomas thought about it and recounted the information he knew.
Although they are all outdated almanacs, they also have high reference value.
"Are you saying that the Snow Bandits are a centralized organization, not individual members?"
Su Mo was suddenly surprised.
The survival of malignant organizations with a center to this day also illustrates their strength.
"Of course the Snow Bandits are organized, and every crack has their hiding spots. The Snow Bandits can obtain supplies and improve their strength by taking orders from the organization."
Detect, destroy, kill, destroy.
The village that Thomas went to to deal with the aftermath had received the highest level of 'annihilation' order.
"The Haiyun Tribe is a large tribe with a fifth-level priest. It has a population of nearly ten thousand people. Unexpectedly, thousands of snow bandits poured in overnight and killed everywhere. In the end, no one in the village was left alive. Even the five priests were killed. It was precisely because of this that he died on the spot, so the Priest Affairs Office summoned most of the priests from Crack No. 37 to deal with the aftermath!”
"I remember that all the priests were discussing privately that if they were to be killed, they would have no choice but to run away."
Will the Fire Fist Tribe board the elimination order?
The answer is yes.
In the eyes of outsiders, a small tribe with only a second-level priest in charge had no right to be targeted by thousands of snow bandits.
Based on the information provided by Thomas, Sumo estimated that the Fire Fist Tribe had been 'destroyed'.
The snow bandits should have tools to monitor their faith.
Once a certain faith gathers the basic conditions and reaches one hundred fanatical believers, it successfully opens the path to the gods.
They will immediately detect it, issue a mission, and summon the snow bandits to attack.
"This response mode is relatively simple. When designing the world, you only need to design the snow bandits to destroy faith to get rewards. In this way, they will tirelessly attack faith."
Soma continued to spread his thoughts.
In the process of experiencing the gambling battle, he is also learning the other party's various ideas for designing the world.
Right now, the other party has set the snow bandits as the first hurdle to block the development of faith.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's smelly, it's terrible.
The beauty is that it can conduct a preliminary screening of faith, increase the difficulty of establishing faith in the early stage, and block some people who are lucky but not strong enough to prevent the various designed levels from being destroyed in advance.
The stink in this level is actually an AOE attack, which is not only effective on humans, but also on aliens.
Although it is very likely that the aliens have been notified before coming in, do not establish faith in advance to prevent being eliminated by the snow bandits.
But from another perspective, even if they were reminded, the progress of the alien race was still slowed down.
"This may be aimed at me. I am worried that I can find loopholes in this aspect and take advantage of it."
Soma nodded slightly.
This is not because he thinks too highly of himself and is forcing his brains to add to his drama.
If the designer opens a backdoor for a foreign race, then he must be 100% sure that humans cannot detect the backdoor, or even if they know it, they cannot use it.
Is there such a backdoor?
Maybe, but it's definitely not a good thing to complicate a simple level design.
Manpower will eventually be exhausted.
In a complex design, a small point that is not noticed may cause the whole thing to collapse.
If you want to be 100% sure that the plan can be successfully executed, you must continue to simplify one thing until the designer himself cannot find a second way to go.
Only then can all participants be stopped, including Soma, who has repeatedly created miracles.
Wait
"If the Snow Bandit's strength is designed to be able to stop everyone, then the alien race will eventually be shut out and lose the bet. Following this line of thinking, the Snow Bandit's strength must have an upper limit. As long as it exceeds this Upper limit, establish faith and you will not be attacked by them.”
Maybe Mr. Song would not have thought that Sumo would be able to immediately deduce a series of ideas about world design after knowing the simple information about the snow bandit.
Following these lines of thought, Sumo quickly thought of several different ways to deal with it.
But he was not in a hurry to confirm, after all, all fantastic ideas require more information to support.
Furthermore, the first wave of snow bandits' attack should not be very violent.
Based on the outside world's misunderstanding of the Fire Fist tribe, Thomas will most likely give the Snow Band a huge surprise.
"The Stone God will give us more guidance and rewards in the future, but the premise is that we can prevent the snow bandits from attacking in three days!"
Sumo quit his meditation and looked at everyone.
During the moment when he was thinking, Thomas whispered to the five people about his current strength in order to boost his morale.
Third level priest.
Since he didn't get any new magic to improve his combat effectiveness, Thomas was a little humble. But even so, the five people were shocked, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
The third-level priest has entered the ranks of high priest.
If it weren't for the depth of winter now, as long as the Fire Fist Tribe released the news, they would be able to gather 300 people immediately to obtain the qualifications for the divine mine.
"Chief, don't worry, Thomas is ready and vows to live and die with the tribe!"
Thomas raised his right hand with a pious expression on his face.
Upon seeing this, the other five people immediately raised their right hands, indicating that they would fight with the tribe until the end.
It’s really available to people’s hearts!
Sumo was completely relieved, put all worries behind him, and began to make plans to deal with the snow bandits.
In fact, there is no need to prepare too much. The enchantment array used against Shado last time was very easy to use.
If this wave of snow bandits were equally careless and did not conduct an in-depth investigation, they would definitely end up with the same fate as Shado.
"Ahem."
Sitting next to the lit bonfire, Delen looked up at the slightly white sky and couldn't help coughing twice.
Traveling all night in minus 40 degree weather is indeed beyond what ordinary humans can bear.
Even the snow bandits, who have survived in extreme weather all year round, have reached the limits of both physical and mental strength.
However, they dare not rest!
The secret killing team set out a day early. If they couldn't catch up halfway, the consequences would be disastrous.
Once the Fire Fist tribe chooses to fight to the death or escape directly and take away the idol.
The secret killing team can indeed complete the tasks they take on, but their mission as the Red Moon Team will face failure penalties.
At that time, not only will the penalty be paid, but the mission remuneration will also be compensated to the secret killing team.
How is this possible?
Putting aside supplies, the required divine minerals alone can overwhelm the Red Moon Team.
"Let's rest for half an hour and then we'll continue on our way."
It's getting brighter and brighter.
Delen couldn't help but speak anxiously, but the answer he received was a grunt like a dead pig.
The five team members who came out with him had already collapsed from exhaustion. When they had time to rest, they had to sleep hard to replenish their energy?
That is to say, Delenn himself was pretending to be worried and couldn't sleep, otherwise he would have to sleep next to the bonfire now.
no way.
Delen had no choice but to take on the responsibility of sentry.
He thought a lot during this period, and even imagined that when he arrived at the Fire Fist Tribe, it was already in ruins.
It wasn't until the sky became completely bright that he suddenly reacted and woke up the five people.
"Boss, let's sleep a little longer. I'm too tired. I can't walk."
"Yes, boss, the secret killing team can't be on the road all day. We just need to rest less than them, and we will definitely be able to catch up."
"We are rushing over in such a hurry. If the secret killing team is still on the way, it will be in vain."
"Take a rest, I'm so sleepy, I'm so hungry, I'm so cold."
Except for one person who was a little dazed from sleep and had not yet reacted, the other four people could not help but complain.
The reason why everyone was willing to follow Delen out was because Edwin promised that the Red Moon Team's material distribution would be more tilted towards them.
But no matter how much supplies we have, we still need life flowers.
According to Delen's way of rushing, they might die suddenly on the way.
"Get up, get up. You won't be able to hold on for just one night. There are still two days to go."
Delen said hello, but found that the effect was not good, so he had to continue to stimulate, "Don't worry, there is only one daylight distance between us and the secret killing team. As long as we catch them, you can sleep however you want!"
This sentence was of great use, and even the confused team member's eyes became a little angry.
The six people hurriedly extinguished the bonfire, put away the tent, and continued to set off after identifying the direction.
However, what was disappointing was that until night fell again, they still could not find any trace of the secret killing team.
"Aren't we taking the same road?"
According to the map, the road they chose now is the closest route to the Fire Fist Tribe.
Taking other routes means taking a detour. How many people are willing to take a detour in this damn weather?
"Strange."
Delenn was confused.
But at this time, no matter how many ideas he had, everyone's physical and mental strength had reached their limit.
Must rest immediately.
But it's time to rest, Delen thought for a while, looking at the tired people.
"Let's rest for six hours. We'll set off again during the day."
"┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~, long live the captain!"
"I want to sleep now and sleep to death."
"I want to sleep even if the sky falls. I'm too sleepy. I'm so sleepy!"
Camping where they were, the five of them quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Delen originally wanted to search nearby to see if he could find any traces left by the secret killing team.
But at this moment, the warmth of the bonfire came over him, and a heavy feeling of sleepiness surged into his heart.
"It's better to sleep until dawn."
As soon as his eyelids twitched, Delen also lay down in the tent and began to snore.
But what he didn't know was that the secret killing team he longed for was now two kilometers away.
Under the cover of night.
The twelve-man team walked briskly.
They seemed to be pushed by the breeze, and each step left only shallow footprints on the snow, which were soon covered by blown snow particles.
"How far is it?"
The leader of the team stopped and looked behind.
Someone immediately pulled out the map for comparison and quickly gave the answer, "High Priest, according to the coordinates provided by the mission, there are still about two hundred kilometers."
"Well, let's continue on our way and sleep when we have a hundred kilometers left."
Unlike the team led by Delen, they immediately complained when they mentioned continuing on their way.
After the high priest finished speaking, the entire team fell silent, but instead accelerated their pace.
Just a hundred kilometers.
With the blessing of Feng Xing Shu, it only takes ten hours at most to arrive.
By then, they will have a lot of time to rest and make up for the constant rush.
In other words, the biggest test for the "kill" order received by the secret killing team this time was to rush in bad weather.
If the Fire Fist Tribe could be a hundred kilometers closer to Qinggang City, the weather would be warmer.
It's not their turn to take action. Those teams with fourth-level priests will definitely grab this order with a relatively generous reward without hesitation.
