Chapter 33: Run Purple Sun

The Gunslinger was going crazy. Even if his own formation was thrown into chaos by the cavalry, the enemies who came to cause trouble were still pestering him and beating him to death, making it impossible for his men to assemble. In front of the position, the guild's large forces advanced at an orderly pace, with a row of heavy shield bearers at the front. Players from the Holy Spear Alliance who reacted to shoot here were all frustrated by this row of shields. . In fact, these heavy shield bearers are not humans at all, they are all golems. Moving forward with a shield is not a complicated task at all, as long as you have the strength, it doesn't matter if you are smart or not. If we have to talk about the technical content of raising the shield, it is that the steps must be neat, the team must advance at the same speed, and there must be no gaps or breaks. But these are nothing to the devil. Have you ever seen an army of robots walking untidyly? The pace frequency and speed of golems of the same model are exactly the same. The heavy shield formation composed of them is neatly measured as if measured with a ruler. You can only see a black straight line moving forward at a uniform undulating speed. Even if you fall behind temporarily due to terrain or attacks from the front, you will make up for it immediately.

The golem shield bearers are all heavy-duty golems with a weight of five and a half tons. These golems are all specially designed, and their movement speed and agility are slightly lower than ordinary golems. They can't even run fast, and their maximum movement speed is equivalent to the average running speed of players, thanks to their terrifying height of more than three meters. If you are big, your steps will be big. Although it looks like you are moving slowly, you are actually not running slowly. The armor of these specially modified guys is particularly thickened, and the output power has also been greatly improved, far exceeding their similar strength in terms of strength. The heavy shield they lift is three meters high. The surface of the shield is engraved with the guild's emblem and a circle of magic symbols. When necessary, the devils can output their own power to the shield to make these magic symbols shine and create A magical barrier. Although this kind of shield that protects against all things and monsters is not cheap, the effect is definitely the best. At least so far I haven't seen any regular troops break through this shield formation. Except for super large monsters. These guys are basically not afraid of anything. Even the enemy's heavy cavalry cannot hit this city wall-like shield.

Behind this indestructible shield formation are the guild's ordinary golem troops. Although these golems are just ordinary golems, they are still golems after all. Their strong defensive power makes them suitable for replacing heavy infantry units. The losses of the demon dolls were minimal when they were attacked by enemies before. These guys don't have the problem that humans would be in a daze. Their thinking and judgment are very simple. The enemy must be destroyed and one's own people must be protected. Therefore, nearby enemies just As soon as they appeared, they were actively attacked. Now, the remaining 200,000 demon puppets are forming the backbone of the guild. The sky troops, hook-and-scythe gun troops and archer troops were mixed in the heavy infantry phalanx in a very complex structure. Although this arrangement is relatively complicated, it is after all a formation calculated by the God of War. It is said that it can give full play to the strengths of each unit and use the perfect small-unit cooperation to overcome the advantages of most enemies.

There are almost one million NPC heavenly soldiers and demons remaining in our guild. Such a large number is absolutely amazing. The enemy on the opposite side finally stopped completely. The cavalry charge just now made them aware of the approaching death. However, at this time, there is no big difference between being aware of the danger and not being aware of the danger. The Gunslinger was quite a bachelor, so when he saw that there was nothing he could do, he simply led his men and ran sideways. He hopes to retain his last remaining strength in order to deal with us later, but I won't be so stupid as to let him run away.

"Cavalry, charge with me, don't let them escape the encirclement."

"As ordered." A large number of cavalry followed me and ran towards the direction where the gun god retreated.

Four legs are definitely faster than two legs. Our cavalry rushed in front of the gunners and stopped them all. There was a rather aggressive guy who actually wanted to rush up and knock me down. As a result, Ye Ying turned around and kicked him with her butt, and then the guy flew directly over everyone's heads and fell into the crowd behind.

"Hahahaha... Gunslinger, why do you run away when you see me? That's not polite!"

"Be good when you get an advantage, you bastard...!" The guy next to the gunman wanted to scold me, but before he could finish his words, he was shot through the head by an arrow from the cavalry behind me.

"Oh, this is an accident! Gunslinger, you won't mind, right? I know you are always very tolerant."

The gunman's face turned red and his whole body was shaking because of my anger, but he didn't dare to move. The tens of thousands of heavy cavalry behind me are not a place to look at. They are a large group of people, and the dark line stretches out for several miles. If I really want to charge them again, there may be no one left.

"Ziri, you don't have to do this to me, right?"

"What did I do to you? Aren't I very polite?"

"Okay, be cruel!" The gunman suddenly raised the gun in his hand, but I moved faster than him. He held the sword to his throat first.

"Look how bad this is!" I smiled proudly, and at the same time I raised my left hand and waved forward. The cavalry behind me immediately passed me and rushed into the enemy's formation. The opponent's team had no formation at all, and in an instant Those killed by the cavalry fell on their backs. I deliberately pushed my sword forward: "After fighting for so long, I feel that you look the most pleasing to the eye now."

"I'm the exact opposite of you."

"I guess you think so too."

The gunman took advantage of my proud smile and suddenly stepped back, then crouched down and tried to dodge back, but he only made a move and stood up again, because he didn't realize it until this moment. There are two moon blades hanging behind him. And one of them was pressed against his back. He had already gotten himself stabbed when he stepped back just now. That's why I stood back so honestly.

"You see, I've always been very polite. It's just that you're not very cooperative."

"Next time you'd better not fall into my hands." After the gunman said to me, he suddenly reached out and pressed a switch on his waist. Without hesitation, I used the eternity in my hand to bring up a piece of blood from his throat. , and at the same time, two half-moons also passed through his body. After I finished, I immediately asked Ye Ying to retreat far away, and at the same time reminded everyone around him not to get close. Sure enough, the gunman whose neck I had just wiped exploded as soon as he fell down. This guy is simply a terrorist. He actually carries so many bombs with him. Thanks to my cleverness. Otherwise, he will be his backer!

After the fall of the Spear God, the military mentality of the Holy Spear Alliance was completely ruined. There was no organization and no president. In such a chaotic situation, they could only be massacred. The guild's heavy infantry phalanx simply used shield walls to surround these people, and then drove them little by little toward the edge of the magma pool. As the pressure outside increased, the people closest to the magma pool were the first to be attacked. After squeezing out of the magma pool, more people were pushed down one after another. Our oppressive tactics are very effective, almost equivalent to having two fronts massacring the enemy at the same time.

After about half an hour all the enemies were wiped out. Our losses were minimal. Of course, the regular army can only have this result if they line up in a neat formation to attack the chaotic crowd. The remaining task now is to clear out the enemies on the nearby islands, but this task can be left to King Chuang's fleet. Anyway, the previous "Mole" has almost eliminated all the enemies.

Rose stood next to me and handed over a form: "This is the loss situation of this battle. It will be supplemented to us according to the system prompts, but I don't know in what form. There is also the adjustment after collecting the data of this battle. The guild will revise its opinion.”

"Isn't it right? You can dig out so much research information in a fight?"

"I didn't dig it out, it was summed up by the God of War. Do you think I have the energy to write a report in battle?"

"That's right."

"By the way, this is for you." Rose suddenly handed over a red pill.

"What's this?"

"See for yourself. I have something else to do." After Rose said this, she turned around and ran towards the other members of the guild.

I took the red pill in my hand and looked at its properties, and I almost jumped up. "Evolution pill?" I never expected that the properties of this thing would be so exaggerated. It can actually promote the evolution of those who take it. I was about to take a closer look when I suddenly heard a system prompt.

"Congratulations to player Ziri who has reached full experience points and is now officially upgraded to the first thousand-level player in this system."

"Am I at the max level?" I looked at my subordinate Xing in surprise, and it turned out that he was at the max level. Because I am the president of the guild, I get extra experience points as rewards for killing monsters in the guild. Generally, guild leaders have a lot of guild affairs to deal with, so they don't have much time for leveling up. This method of giving extra rewards to the presidents is to take care of these presidents. However, I am an outlier among them. Because of the existence of auxiliary professionals and think tanks in the guild, I hardly need to manage the guild personally, so I often run around outside doing tasks. Although he is not actively leveling, he is not leveling up slowly. Coupled with the experience value subsidy in the guild, he will naturally level up faster than others. Before this big mission, I took the pill that doubled my experience. I must have been close to the full point just now. As a result, someone killed another monster, and I got a share of the experience points and was immediately upgraded.

The system prompt did not stop, but continued: "As the first player to complete a thousand-level upgrade and the first player to reach the full level of experience twice, the system will give a special challenge task."

The so-called reaching the full level twice is actually not accurate. The correct statement should be three times. In fact, I had experience points that were close to level 1,000 twice before. It was just because I had not completed the level tasks at that time, so I was bounced back after hitting the grading line. Later, some experience points were deducted due to some things. I have been hovering at level 999 and cannot move forward. This time it can be said that the moral integrity is perfect, and all the tasks are finally completed, just in time to complete such a large task. The experience value naturally increased immediately.

The system prompt is still saying: "The player who first completes the special level upgrade requirements under normal standards can obtain the special rewards of this system. You have personally won it many times before, and this time is no exception. This system still prepares prizes, but There is also a challenge mission that provides options.”

"Why do I need to do tasks to reward things?" I immediately asked the system. Now this is a personal notification, not a system broadcast, so you can ask questions.

"Your understanding is wrong. The challenge task set this time is optional, and you can choose to refuse the task."

An ordinary person would probably reject it outright right now, but I am not an ordinary person. According to human standards, the IQ of our dragon family is close to 260, so it is impossible not to think of the hidden problems. "Can you tell me the difference between accepting a task and rejecting a task?"

"If you refuse the task, this system will follow the general process and allow you to choose one of the three rewards given; if you accept the task, you will immediately start a challenge task. When the task is completed, you can choose between these three choices. Choose any two and get a mysterious gift, and all the benefits gained during the mission belong to you personally. However, once you accept the mission but cannot complete it, the system will help you make up for the items and experience points lost during the mission. , all mission rewards will be cancelled, and you will not be able to obtain any benefits."

The system prompts are very clear. There are only three possibilities for the situation I am encountering now: 1. The worst case scenario, if you accept the task but do not complete it, you will get nothing, but you will lose nothing; 2. The medium situation, if you do not accept the task, you will directly get a 3. In the best case scenario, if you accept the task and successfully complete it, you can get two rewards and a special gift, and all the benefits during the task will belong to me.

Although there are three situations. But the choice is mine. Not accepting the task is obviously not in line with my personality. I can't tell whether I can complete it after accepting it. After all, I don't know the content of the mission yet. But one thing I can be sure of is that judging from my combat effectiveness, this task will not be too difficult. After all, this is a reward mission, and it is meant to be the icing on the cake. It's impossible to escape a narrow escape like a level mission.

Since the task is not difficult, that means the success rate is very high. Although it is not stated explicitly, if you listen to the system prompts, the rewards will be generous. If you don't try again under such good conditions. That would be damned.

"Can I ask about the content of the mission first?" Although I have decided to accept the mission, it is not a bad thing to know more things beforehand.

Unfortunately, the main system seems reluctant to comply with my request. "Players are not allowed to know any information about the task content and rewards before the task is confirmed. Please decide within thirty seconds whether to accept this challenge task."

"accept."

"Mission accepted." The system prompt paused for a moment before continuing: "Player Ziri accepted the challenge mission, and now the detailed mission information will be announced." A map suddenly appeared in front of me. "This mission will be carried out under the regular game map, and no additional mission space will be set up. All the medicines and other recovery props consumed during the game will be automatically restored at the end of the mission regardless of victory or defeat, but please note This reply only includes the recovery of 'sexual' items. 'Medicine' items such as increased physical strength or increased experience are not included in this list. Since the equipment of the player Ziri is an indestructible and non-losable item, no additional protection will be provided. The map currently displayed is: The action map of this mission will be automatically added to the player's personal map collection. The player will be teleported to this location when this mission starts." A red light on the map lit up.

"Isn't this Essinger?"

The system ignored me at all and continued to introduce: "The forward route is the red marked route on the map, and the end point is this green dot. You must complete the entire distance within forty-eight hours. The mission introduction is completed."

"Ah? What? That's it? What's the content of the mission? What on earth am I fighting?"

"That's what it's all about. The mission is to move within a limited time."

"So it's just a time trial? Haha, how could this mission take forty-eight hours? It was completed in forty minutes!"

"Note that mission restrictions have not yet been announced."

"What are the restrictions?"

"During the mission, only the familiar Night Shadow is allowed to be used as a mount, and it can only be used in the areas marked with yellow marks on the map. Other sections need to be advanced on foot. During the mission, any familiar can be used to participate in the battle. However, it is prohibited to use it as a mount. Magic pets other than Night Shadow act as mounts. It is prohibited to use the flying function to move around the map during the entire mission. However, combat is allowed with the flying ability. During the mission, the use of stamina recovery medicines is prohibited, including stamina recovery spells. It’s also prohibited.”

"Damn. Isn't it?" I thought forty-eight hours was too long before because the journey was actually not that long. If I rode Asuka, it would only take more than an hour to get there, even if I rode Yeying the whole way. It only takes four or five hours to run. But the problem is that flying is absolutely prohibited, and the road section where Night Shadow can be used is less than one-third of the total distance, which means that two-thirds of the distance needs to be run by myself. Although my movement speed is not slow, it is still far behind Ye Ying. The most important problem is that my speed is only combat speed, and I am not as good as Yeying's endurance. He can run more than a thousand kilometers at a stretch, and I can only run a hundred kilometers at most before I have to stop and rest for a long time. You can only run such a long distance after your stamina is fully restored. The damn system also limits the medicines and magic that cannot be restored with stamina, so you can only rely on it to recover automatically. You can imagine how slow this speed is. Another problem is combat consumption. According to what the system just said about using flying ability to fight, there will definitely be fighting during this process, but fighting will also consume stamina. I don't have enough endurance. If some of it is consumed by fighting, the forty-eight hours will not be too long but too short. I doubt whether I can complete the whole distance in forty-eight hours.

The system didn't care at all whether I could complete the task or not. It still continued to read out the mission notes. "You can go offline during the mission. The mission countdown will also stop when you go offline and resume the countdown after you go online again. However, five minutes of mission time will be deducted each time you go offline regardless of the length of time. Teams are not allowed during the mission, and no Ask others for help, and all combat content must be completed independently by summoning creatures and yourself."

"I understand, do you want to start the mission right away?"

"The mission will officially start in ten minutes. Please inform me before that. This mission will be associated with a large number of player tasks, so there will be a large number of people blocking the road. Killing enemy players during the battle will not increase the evil level, and can Earn triple experience points."

After listening to it for so long, I finally got something nice to say. Three times the experience value, which means you can get a lot of experience along the way. It’s just that the task has a time limit, so there’s no way to earn points by the way!

After the announcement, the system only gave me a few minutes to explain to Rose and the others, and then I was sent out of the mission in advance. Although the world's No. 1 Guild's quest for hegemony is not over yet, the Gunslinger has already been killed. The enemy is also dead, and the rest is just the finishing work. Even if there is an accident, it will only be a big loss, and victory is certain. Besides, with the think tanks like Rose and the others, it’s almost the same without me.

Ten minutes came quickly and I was teleported directly back to Essinger. As soon as I stepped out of the teleportation array, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet, and I knew the reason for it. It's just too empty. Now Isinger is no longer the flat city it once was. The twin reflections of the sky and the ground, the mobile fortress above the clouds, and the dark underground palace form the current four-in-one layout of Isinger. Its actual usable area is quite large. So huge. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no problem in Essinger's current population of 60 to 70 million people. But now most of our people are still in the mission space, and only one-third of the normal number of people have returned. Besides, even if all the members of the guild come back, Essinger is still very empty. It usually seems more prosperous just because there are many outsiders visiting the city, and free NPCs will come out to do activities when those people are there. The mission is not over yet. The cities in our guild are still under system protection. People from outside can't come in, and all free NPCs have disappeared. Naturally, it feels terrifyingly empty. The huge Essinger now looks like a veritable ghost town.

I moved a little to get rid of the coldness caused by my senses, and then summoned the night shadow and ran out of Essinger. According to the mission map, you can rely on Ye Ying to travel on the road just out of the city, so I have to seize this rare opportunity to gain as much time as possible. Only by spending as little time as possible on road sections with night shadows can we minimize the possibility of mission failure. It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, or that the players' calculations are not as good as the system's calculations. The damn mission system has no intention of letting me simply do a track and field exercise, or the rewards from the system are not that easy to get.

When I first ran out of the city, it went smoothly. I rushed out of the huge forest around Essinger at the ultimate speed of Night Shadow. But when the first city appeared, I knew I was in big trouble.

"The system really gave me face, and actually used a city to block me."

"Who told you to be so proud!" Ye Ying looked back at me and said, "I have saved you a lot of time in the past, but I can't help you on the following journey. Just ask for your blessings. !”

I looked at the closed city in front of me, and it was obvious that they had been ready to intercept me. Normally I could go around it completely, but the problem is that the mission map clearly indicates that I have to go through the city, so I still have to rush!

"Is that President Ziri down below the city?" I was feeling worried when someone shouted from above the city gate.

"it's me."

"Xinghui. I am the lord of this city, Feng Yupiaoyan. President Ziri, we know that you are the president of the big guild. But there is nothing we can do about taking on such an unlucky mission. Don't blame us!"

It turns out that these guys are afraid that I will retaliate against them. There are no laws in the game. The boss is the one with the biggest fist. If a large guild like the Frost Rose Alliance wants to squeeze out a small guild, it is like killing an ant. If they intercept me now to complete the mission, and the mission ends in the future, if I am narrow-minded and mobilize the guild's strength to find It is indeed possible that they will be in trouble. Of course, in fact, I didn't think about it at all, but it indirectly reminded me. The mission doesn’t have to be fought all the way through, right? Is it possible to outsmart sometimes!

"Hey. Wind and rain. What's the punishment for not completing your mission?"

Maybe he didn't expect me to ask this question. The other person was stunned for a moment, but he immediately responded. "All players in our guild who fail to complete the task will be demoted one level as a whole."

This system is so cruel, even such severe punishments are dared to be used.

"What if you complete the mission?"

"Then we can get a 600-level guild guardian beast. This is equivalent to having one more magic pet for each person, and it does not occupy the position of the magic pet."

As soon as I rolled my eyes, I had a solution. "Let me discuss something with you."

"Please say."

"You let me go and accept the punishment from the system. After the return mission is completed, those of you who meet our standards and are willing to join our guild can join our guild, which means you have several kinds of magic pets at once. The guardian creatures in our guild are numerous and practical, and they must be many times higher than your reward. As for those who are unwilling to join, I will send someone to take you to the advanced monster area to level up. Bring each of you up to five levels , what do you think?"

The other party was obviously hesitant. They seemed to want to agree, but they couldn't make up their mind. I decided to give him another push. "Actually, you also know. Although I can't defeat your entire guild by myself, you will never be able to stop me if I rush over. Your role is nothing more than to let me waste more time, but my task is a timed task. What is lacking is time, so I negotiate with you. If you insist on fighting, I will gain nothing, but you will also have to accept the punishment. At least you will not lose money by cooperating with me. "

Maybe the other party realized that these people alone couldn't stop me, so he nodded immediately after I finished speaking. "Okay then! We'll let you go. Give up the mission voluntarily."

Hehe, this task can indeed be tricky. If you really want to fight hard, I will definitely be able to rush over, but judging from the number of people on the other side, I can't expect to get out from the opposite city gate in less than an hour or two. Besides, a lot of stamina will be consumed in the battle. Even if I rush When you go out, you have to stop and rest when you can't run very far, which consumes a lot of time. But now everything is settled, I convinced the other party. Then there is no need to fight. It only takes me ten minutes to run from one end of the city to the other in such a small city. Save a lot of time at once.

Now that the negotiation is over, I won't be polite to that guy anymore. Just ask them to open the city gate. Then he transformed into a werewolf and started running forward. From here, you have to walk a long way ahead, and transforming into a werewolf while walking is naturally the best choice. Werewolf mode is not only much faster than usual, but also has a much higher endurance, which can help me run a little longer.

In addition to transforming into a werewolf, I actually thought of a good way, that is, I can switch to the small mode after the large one here runs out of endurance. Since my big and small numbers are the same, I can use two numbers to do most of the non-specified 'sexual' tasks except level tasks. By default, my small account and large account are online at the same time. When the attributes of the large account are exhausted, I can switch to the small account. If you are an ordinary player, the large account is equivalent to being offline when using the small account, but it is different for me. My large and small accounts are online at the same time. That is to say, when I switch to the small account after the large account's endurance value bottoms out, the large account is actually slowly recovering its endurance, instead of being offline without restoring its basic attributes like ordinary players. According to this method, the two numbers alternate. Even if Silver Moon is not as fast as Purple Sun in terms of movement speed, it is at least better than sitting there waiting for endurance to slowly recover.

After thinking about the method, I started to implement it. After rushing all the way through this small city, I ran to the bottom of the large size in one breath, and then switched to the small size of Silver Moon to continue running. Although magic pets cannot be used in this process, it does not mean that magic pets are completely useless. At least they can help me reduce unnecessary consumption. For example, Rose Vine and Trailblazer can help me fill in the road ahead, preventing me from consuming extra stamina points due to poor road conditions. Ling and Xiaochun can use magic such as strength and agility to increase my endurance limit and speed up my movement. Although the system prohibits me from using stamina to restore medicine and magic, it doesn't say that I can't increase the upper limit of stamina.

In short, there are policies and countermeasures, and tasks do not necessarily have to be done according to the system settings. It is always beneficial to use your brain.
