Chapter 92 Rescue Operation and Clues About Zhou Cang!
Under the gaze of Hang Yu.
The rescue operation organized by the players began!
A total of 58 people participated this time, including 7 players at level 8, 13 players at level 7, 16 players at level 6, and 22 players at level 5. Such a lineup is luxurious.
Their goal is to liberate the enslaved indigenous villagers, and then bring these indigenous people back to the territory, so that they can become loyal to the lord like the villagers in Hexi, and thus contribute to the prosperity of the territory.
Because the action is open to the public in the forum.
There are tens of thousands of cloud players paying attention and making suggestions.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the players, including corporate executives, academic masters, masters of psychology, experts in special operations, and masters in various fields.
The Scourge Legion made sufficient preparations for this operation with the intelligence collected by Brother Rui, including not only the assembly of personnel and the arrangement of tactics, but also plans for various possible situations, and even prepared speeches on how to persuade the villagers.
Hang Yu said with satisfaction: "These players are really active!"
Xiao Ba: "The master'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 population recruitment limit of the territory."
Indeed.
For the lord.
Land and population are too important.
Hang Yu nodded slightly: "There are less than ten dragon lizards stationed in this camp. With the strength of this player, it is not a problem to take it down, but it is difficult to bring the people back."
Xiao Ba: "The master's Luoshui base camp is currently protected by the will of the stars and will not be invaded by the abyss or the power of the stars for the time being. The act of transferring refugees does not constitute an invasion, so there is no restriction in this regard, but the enemy lord will not sit idly by."
In other words.
It is not difficult to rescue the enslaved villagers.
The difficulty is how to bring these villagers back safely.
Hang Yu usually does not directly interfere with the spontaneous actions of players, but this action is to add bricks and tiles to the territory after all, so it is necessary to make some deployments, so he summoned several level 10 guards to his front.
[Energy - 20,000! ]
[Your "Abyss Warrior: Zhang San" has been upgraded to level 11! ]
[Energy - 20,000! ]
[Your "Abyss Warrior: Li Si" has been upgraded to level 11! ]
[Energy - 20,000! ]
[Your "Abyss Warlock: Wang Wu" has been upgraded to level 11! ]
[Energy - 20,000! ]
[Your "Abyss Monk: Zhao Liu" has been upgraded to level 11! ]
After thinking about it, Hang Yu still took out 80,000 Abyss Energy to upgrade the four soldiers to level 11. When the bottleneck from level 1 to level 2 was broken, each soldier was reborn and his strength could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
"Zhang San!"
"I'm here!"
"You lead the team to the Abyss Fog Gate to provide support immediately. If all the players are killed or injured, or if the refugees start to suffer heavy casualties, you can intervene according to the situation, of course, the premise is to protect yourself."
"Yes, sir!"
Now I can feel a little relieved.
Of course, the price of training a senior soldier is very expensive, and Hang Yu does not want his personal soldiers to be lost, so if he encounters an enemy that exceeds the personal soldiers' ability to deal with, he will naturally focus on protecting himself.
…………
The Dragon Lizard People's Base Camp.
Lord Chi Lin is still angry.
"It's just a humble human! How dare you take the initiative to attack and kill my soldiers!"
Not long ago, Ye Limeng, Artist Pai Zong and others took advantage of a small group of troops spawning monsters in the Stone Monster Valley and suddenly attacked and caused the loss of five soldiers.
Although for Chi Lin, who has thousands of soldiers, the loss of only five soldiers is nothing, it undoubtedly makes him feel that his dignity has been challenged.
"Why are you angry, Lord?"
At this time, a dragon lizard general holding a black spear comforted him, "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, while the other side has lost several times or even ten times more."
This dragon lizard man is called Black Fang.
He is not a soldier of the Lord's clan.
Like Chi Lin, he is a citizen of the stars.
The reason why Black Fang appeared in Chi Lin's territory is just because Black Fang is a general unit hired by Chi Lin.
The Lord can not only hire production professionals such as equipment refiners and alchemists from the Stars, but also recruit employees with combat functions after building specific buildings, but such employees can usually only be hired from the same clan.
"This human is really ignorant!"
Black Fang sneered, "It is impossible for a human to win. The only correct and smart way is to give up resistance and surrender on the spot. In this way, you may be able to win the Lord's magnanimity. After accepting the territory and the ransom for his life, let him leave a rotten life and roll back to the stars."
Chi Lin didn't have time to speak.
Received another reminder from the will of the stars.
[Your "Abyss Warrior" is dead! ]
[Your "Abyss Mage" is dead! ]
[...]
[Your building "Tower of Slavery" has been destroyed! ]
Chi Lin roared, bursting out with a strong murderous aura, causing the hall to shake slightly. All the tribesmen at the scene, including Black Fang, felt a huge pressure.
"My mining camp was attacked!"
"These lowly humans are courting death!"
Lord Redscale noticed through his perspective 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 reach their destination.
These humans have no wings to 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 obtained 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 bit difficult to handle!"
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 defect to Lord Hang Yu together!"
"..."
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 several elders.
"useless!"
"useless!"
"Old sir, please get up quickly!"
Black Eyed Rui Ge hesitated for a moment before saying: "Although our lord is kind-hearted and will definitely take you in, I am afraid that this journey will be full of twists and turns and very dangerous. I hope you can be prepared for the worst!"
Chen Shi said: "Our village was destroyed by foreigners. Now we have nowhere to go. We must fight for a glimmer of hope!"
Another old villager nodded and said: "You righteous men have no relatives or friends with us, but you saved us from danger regardless of your own safety. Even if we die on the road, we can't blame others. We only hope to repay the great kindness in the next life!"
Seeing this group of villagers who have suffered so much in front of them.
Especially facing the survival instinct bursting out of their eyes.
Every player feels a heavy sense of responsibility.
Even if they like to make fun of people and play with memes, it is difficult to laugh at this moment.
Although reason tells them that this group of people is just a group of data packaged with super-realistic art models, just NPCs in the game, don't take it too seriously, and there is no need to have too much moral burden even if the rescue fails.
But seeing these faces of suffering, through the sincere eyes full of gratitude and hope, it is difficult for players to regard them as game characters, but only feel that they are real people with flesh and blood and soul.
They must be brought back!
This action has nothing to do with the mission.
At this moment, the players don’t care how much reward they get from the mission.
Even if there is no mission as a driving force, even if they lose money, it doesn’t matter as long as they can bring these people back alive. The material rewards are nothing compared to the spiritual sense of achievement.
"There is no time to lose!"
"Let's go quickly!"
"The dragon lizards will come back soon!"
Dozens of players quickly organized the villagers to move towards the abyss fog gate.
Chimei Wangliang came over and said to 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."
Black Eyed Rui asked: "When will Lao Ye and the others arrive?"
Ye Limeng was one of the 15 players who just died. He rushed too hard and accidentally triggered the trap, so he died heroically.
Yijian Xilai said: "After Boss Ye and the others were resurrected, they rushed here as soon as possible. They should be running maps in Woniu Mountain now. It is estimated that they will return to the team soon."
Kuangdao Lao Wang nodded and said: "Okay, there is strength in numbers, and Lao Ye is one of our most important fighting forces!"
Xianyu Tuci asked: "Wangliang, have you obtained any important intelligence clues from these villagers?"
Speaking of this.
Chimei Wangliang suddenly became interested.
She immediately said: "I found that the time in different regions is indeed different. The historical time of Luoshui Execution Ground occurred before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, while the historical time of Woniu Mountain occurred after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In addition, Luoshui Execution Ground has been running for twenty years in the Abyss timeline, and this place has been developing for forty years in the Abyss timeline."
"Forty years? So long!"
"Is it possible that the more serious the pollution, the longer the pollution time."
Chimei Wangliang said: "There are too few samples at present, and it is temporarily impossible to verify whether there is an inevitable connection between the two. We can observe more in the future. It is too early to draw such a conclusion now."
Chenxi said on the side: "Under this world view background setting, I suddenly thought of a lot of interesting developments."
Chimei Wangliang asked: "What?"
Chenxi said: "The longer a region develops in the Abyss timeline, the more likely it is that the local development and history will be affected. The greater the deviation from the 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 compared to the end of the Han Dynasty. "
Chimei Wangliang's eyes lit up: "That's true. From this point of view, the styles of different regions in Weird Three Kingdoms may be very different. According to the environment and character development of different regions, completely different ecosystems will eventually be derived."
"What do you mean?" Xianyu Tuci scratched his head: "Steam Three Kingdoms? Cyber Three Kingdoms?"
"Why not be bolder?"
"Then I can't think of it."
"Haha, you'll see it later!"
Hei Tong Rui Ge asked at this time: "Any other news?"
Chimei Wangliang changed the topic at this time: "Yes, we have a little information about this area, which may be related to Zhou Cang, who is currently the most suspected BOSS."
When Zhou Cang was heard.
Other players were immediately interested.
The speculation about the setting is too far away from the present.
Zhou Cang is the big BOSS that everyone is likely to encounter next!
