Game of the World Tree - Chapter 542
542. Chapter 540 The decisive battle begins
Early in the morning.
The azure sky was as clear and deep as if it had been washed.
The sun gradually rose, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the white clouds and shone on the yellow sand desert of death.
In the north of Sandstorm City, outside the camp fortress built by the players.
Rows of player troops were fully armed and slowly assembled.
From the sky, the huge camp was like a giant beast that was constantly swallowing and spitting out troops, operating rapidly.
The sandstorm was over, and Eve also confirmed the attack plans of the top leaders of several major guilds from the official in the form of a hidden plot.
As usual, the appearance of the “hidden mission” once again mobilized the enthusiasm of the players and triggered a wave of participation in the war.
The loss of players stopped.
And those players who returned to the Elf Forest because of exhaustion of enthusiasm also stepped back on the teleportation array and hurried back…to
the outside of the player’s camp.
After several months of games, the players became more and more proficient in the assembly of such a large army.
Soon, a huge army formation formed outside the camp.
This time, the players mobilized 100,000 troops.
This is almost the limit of this operation.
Unlike before, the current Blue Star time is a working day, 6:30 pm.
At this time, although many people have gone off work, there are still many people who are working overtime.
And they can only use envy and jealous eyes, while taking advantage of the time when they are slacking off at work to go online and watch the live broadcasts of the players that can’t be called live broadcasts at all…
Except for those players who can’t go online due to practical reasons, except for those players who can’t return to the Death Desert for the time being, except for the salted fish players of the major guilds who are responsible for staying in the camp and taking care of the bodies of the players who are not online, all other players… are here.
100,000 troops…
Maybe this number is much less than the number of people who participated in the war at the beginning, but after so many days of fighting, the players are no longer the same as before.
Not only have their overall strength improved a step further, but through various battles, they have summarized various skills specifically for the orcs on the official website.
Don’t underestimate this skill.
On the battlefield of Blue Star, the reason why veterans have higher survival and kill rates than new soldiers is that veterans have accumulated rich combat experience through repeated battles.
The skills summarized by players are their combat experience.
The Internet has brought people closer together, and it allows players to communicate and make progress together.
This is something that the orcs cannot match.
Among the 100,000 troops assembled, nearly one-third of the players chose to ride on Warcraft to participate in the battle.
They are the players’ 30,000 cavalry troops.
Among them, more than half are archer players, and the rest are mostly heavily armored tank warrior players.
There is a reason for this.
In the Death Desert, players can be resurrected after death, but their equipment cannot be recovered, and Warcraft has always been dead, and players treasure it tightly.
Therefore, only long-range players who can avoid close combat as much as possible will choose to become highly mobile horse archers in the war.
Tank warrior players are specially promoted by major guilds to serve as heavy armored cavalry.
Not only were they wearing heavy armor, but the monsters under them were also wearing heavy armor that had been modified by the forger players. The monsters they rode were none other than the numerous crypt spiders that would not be so painful to die.
After being promoted to Legend, the number of crypt spiders owned by Spider Queen Rose soared further, supporting the players’ consumption.
Anyway, they were all sub-individuals without independent consciousness, and if they died, they died.
Although these big guys had poor combat effectiveness during the day, their load-bearing and speed were still good, at least much stronger than the horses and camels captured by the players…
There were 10,000 heavy cavalry players.
In the players’ plan, the heavy cavalry players would be the vanguard, the infantry players would be the main force, and the horse archer players would be the roaming support and pursuit control to attack the orc army stationed outside the Sandstorm City.
This plan was also summarized by the players after one battle after another, and with reference to the war experience of the cold weapon era on Blue Star.
Outside the camp.
Eve, wearing the God-favored Zero vest and a black combat skirt armor, stood on a barren hill and looked in the direction of Sandstorm City.
The entire city of Sandstorm City is made of solid obsidian and leans against a mountain. The terrain is slightly higher and glows faintly under the sunlight.
Eve looked at this city that the orcs are proud of and the movements of the orcs on and off the city walls with an inexplicable expression.
At this moment, a respectful voice sounded behind her:
“Lord Zero, we can assemble in at most ten minutes, but the total number of troops dispatched this time may not be as many as before, only 100,000.”
It was Li Mu.
After hearing his words, Eve nodded gently:
“It doesn’t matter, it’s not bad.”
Up to now, the number of players who have accepted the Death Desert War mission is more than 150,000. Although the number of players participating in the war this time is one-third less, the volume is still large enough.
In fact, this is also good.
At this point today, there is actually no qualitative difference between 100,000 and 150,000.
Because the key to this war is the confrontation of the true gods.
If the players were really wiped out by accident, leaving tens of thousands of people would reduce the loss.
Seeing Eve staring at the distance, Li Mu couldn’t help asking:
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m watching the movements of the orcs.”
Eve replied.
Watching the movements of the orcs?
Li Mu was stunned.
He followed her gaze and found that he could only vaguely see the pointed sandstorm tower, but nothing else was clear.
Even if he used the skill [Eagle Eyes], he could barely make out the blurred city walls.
This made Li Mu sigh, the big sister is the big sister, her eyesight is too good.
But soon, he slapped his forehead again.
I have been playing games for too long… and I am thinking about things in “Elf Kingdom” with realistic thinking.
This game is too magical. If you play it for a long time, you will really think it is a different world!
Eve didn’t care about Li Mu’s little action, but just looked in the direction of Sandstorm City.
It was 20 kilometers away from where the players were stationed, and there were almost no barriers along the way.
Therefore… Eve, as a true god, could clearly see the activities of the orcs on the city wall, especially on the tall sandstorm tower.
Of course, this also means that the other party can clearly see the movements of the players.
Under the premise of no obstacles, the visual range limit of 100 meters is about 35 kilometers. Although the vision of the orcs is definitely not as good as that of the true gods, it is still possible to see the general dynamics of the player camp from the sandstorm tower
. So… the orcs must have noticed the gathering of the elves.
However, what’s interesting is that Eve found that after noticing the player’s actions, the orcs in Sandstorm City panicked for a while, but soon calmed down.
You know, when the player just appeared 20 kilometers away, Sandstorm City was in chaos, and there was even more chaos on the city wall. It took a long time to calm down…
It was also because the players’ previous attack was too fierce.
Whether it was the ruthless killing and plundering, or the forced abandonment of faith, all of these had left a deep psychological shadow on the orcs in the Death Desert.
They would never have thought that one day these harmless elves, like little white rabbits, would become the existence they feared…
Under such circumstances, the large-scale actions of the players this time did not cause chaos in the Sandstorm City, which was somewhat beyond Eve’s expectations.
They had just suffered a defeat two days ago, and their morale was officially low!
This was not normal.
“Interesting…”
Eve said to herself.
She had some guesses in her mind…
20 kilometers, not far, not close.
But for the true gods, it was just a matter of seconds.
At this distance, the true gods could even sense the relatively large energy fluctuations nearby!
Ever since the players approached Sandstorm City, Eve had been paying attention to the energy fluctuations in the direction of Sandstorm City, and obtained information about the city through various channels of the players…
The activities involving the true gods were generally not small.
Even if Uller tried his best to cover it up, there would be clues left.
Eve’s goal was to find such traces and use them to spy on Uller’s actions.
However, in addition to sensing a weak divine power fluctuation these days, Eve did not sense any other energy changes…
And the only divine power fluctuation, based on her own experience, Eve guessed that it should be Uller’s oracle.
Coupled with the previous defeat of the orcs…
This shows that the orcs should not have a stronger existence descending on Sandstorm City.
In fact, it is true. The world of Segos has not been fully opened yet. At this time, the incarnation and the demigod apostles need to continuously consume divine power to resist the world’s exclusion.
This consumption is not small. It’s
okay for a short time, but if the power is descended too early, Uller will definitely not be able to bear it…
After all… He is only a true god with weak divine power, and he also seals the nearby time and space. The consumption itself is already terrible.
Therefore, Eve’s judgment is that it should be after the players formally attack that the prayer summons of the orcs will be attracted.
But now seeing the changes in the orcs, her mind has changed.
She did not sense a big energy change before.
But yesterday was an exception.
The Death Desert has been polluted by magic. Under extreme weather, the magic of the entire desert will be disordered.
For example, sandstorms.
And this is not Eve’s control area. As long as the magic is disordered, Uller can cover up the energy changes to a certain extent.
Magic disorder will affect the summoning, and it is likely to cause the ritual to fail, but there is one exception.
That is the temple.
It just so happens that… Sandstorm City has the largest temple in the Death Desert.
All these factors combined made Eve have some guesses:
the orcs…maybe they took advantage of yesterday’s sandstorm to make the final summon!
Perhaps, there is already a demigod-level power in Sandstorm City.
And as if to verify Eve’s guess, the next moment, she found that the orcs moved.
The orc camp under Sandstorm City actually began to gather!
However, it was not for defense.
Because Eve saw that the orcs in Sandstorm City actually gathered their troops and marched out of the city.
This made Eve’s heart move.
It takes time to gather troops.
The orcs acted like this not just because of the dynamic changes of the players, but because they originally planned to gather their troops today.
At this point, there is no suspense.
Because only with the help of powerful reinforcements, the orcs may have the courage to gather their troops and attack again!
At this point, Eve sighed softly:
“The decisive battle… is about to begin.”
Then, she turned around and said to Li Mu:
“Notify the other Chosen Ones to prepare for battle. The orcs have also begun to gather their troops. Perhaps… we will have a battle with them in the desert.”
“They should have received support from the true gods.”
Support from the true gods…
Li Mu’s expression became serious.
He thought for a while, and then asked respectfully:
“Then… do we need to retreat to the camp and play defense?”
Eve just asked back:
“What do you think?”
Li Mu paused slightly.
But soon, he smiled:
“Then… of course we will fight in the wild!”
Just kidding, everyone was unhappy with the previous defensive battle. Since the orcs have come out in full force this time, isn’t it a better time? !
Maybe the casualties will be lower if we fight a defensive battle, but the players are now looking forward to a hearty battle that everyone can participate in!
Not to mention, they are also confident in their own strength!
As for the support of the true gods…
don’t they also have the power of the goddess?
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn’t help but look at Eve, and Eve seemed to have guessed his thoughts. She drew a symbol of the life scepter on her chest, and then said piously:
“The goddess will bless everyone.”
Li Mu nodded.
He saluted Eve again, then left.
Twenty minutes passed quickly.
The 100,000 troops were completely assembled.
The battlefield channel was also opened again.
The familiar BGM sounded, and the players were either solemn or excited.
The information obtained from the communication with the God-favored Zero had been announced by Li Mu in the battlefield channel.
There was no oath-taking ceremony, nor was there a speech before the battle.
All players realized that the decisive battle of the main plot of the Death Desert was about to begin.
“Let’s go, target – the army of the orcs!”
After Li Mu’s order resounded throughout the battlefield channel, the 100,000 troops formed a barely neat square formation and rushed towards the direction of Sandstorm City…
The BGM suddenly changed.
The passionate marching music sounded in the ears of the players, inspiring the morale of every participant.
At the same time, in the direction of Sandstorm City,
the Orc army, which had obviously been prepared, also formed a battle formation and assembled.
With the sound of the horn, more than 200,000 Orcs, surrounded by more than 60 Behemoths, also began to march towards the north…
As if they had made an appointment, the two sides, like two ferocious war beasts, slowly approached each other.
20 kilometers, walking towards each other, the terrain is flat…
the decisive battle is about to begin.
