Starting From Zero

Chapter 104 Gambler

Chapter 104 Gambler

"What's going on?" I asked the military god in surprise.

The military god's answer was very quick, but it was as if he had not said it. "I don't know. I just detected the rapid accumulation of unknown energy in the space."

"Find out immediately what's going on."

"Already checking."

After explaining the military god, I turned to the two goddesses again and said: "You two have also seen it. I don't have time to weigh the pros and cons for you now. Whether to join or to resist to the end, you should make a decision immediately."

Probably really figured it out. The battle goddess said: "We agree to join, but we have one last request."

"explain."

"Don't ask why we can rise from the dead."

"Deal." Although I also wanted to know the answer to the question they asked, since they said it so directly and didn't want others to know, I had no choice but to endure it. Anyway, I am just curious about this issue, and there is no need to know the reason.

After the two goddesses agreed to join our guild, Hongyue and I were stunned for a moment. It's not because the two of them are willing to join, but because the expected experience points still haven't appeared.

"Why is there still no experience sharing?" Hongyue looked at me in surprise and asked.

"There must be enemies hidden in the city." Zhenhong said.

"No, this possibility is not high." I rejected Zhenhong's guess and said: "The battle has been fought like this. There cannot be any protoss in the city that has not been killed. At least they should have been discovered. This is a large-scale war, not a single-person assassination, and invisibility techniques will not work. I think the problem is not in the city."

"Not in the city? That's outside?" Hongyue looked at me in confusion and asked, "Aren't the gods outside not included in this battle?"

In this battle, the Russian Protoss is the offensive side, while our guild is the defensive side. Although the end of a battle is marked by the complete loss of one side's combat effectiveness, this loss of combat effectiveness does not equal death. Situations such as capture, fainting, serious injury, defection, etc. can be considered as loss of combat effectiveness. But on the other hand, as long as the opponent still has the will to fight and has the ability to fight, even if the opponent does not arrive, the battle will still not end. This is the system's default battle determination method. Unless one party proposes to modify the battle ending criteria when it is clear that it has absolute victory conditions, the system will determine whether the battle has ended based on the previous basic battle ending method. It is our guild that controls the victory conditions now, and we have not proposed changing the way the battle ends, which means that the system is still running the battle monitoring system in the default way. This system must have discovered that there are people who are hostile to us, so it did not end the campaign.

"The fact that the battle determination system has not ended means that there must be someone from the Russian Protoss who is hostile to us. No matter where the other party is, as long as the system determines that he has the ability to intervene in this battle, it will not be possible until he gives up his sense of resistance or is killed by us. The campaign is over. Of course, we can also use the initiative we have now to ask the system to forcibly terminate the campaign, but if this is the case, I estimate that we will bury an enemy hiding in the dark for ourselves in the future."

The battle is not over yet, so at least we still know that an enemy is watching us and is ready to attack us at any time. But if we end the battle, the other party can hide and cause trouble for us at any time. It would be fine if an ordinary person caused trouble for us. It would not be a good thing to be targeted by a protoss. In a large-scale battle like this, it is not difficult for us to use our numerical superiority to eliminate these protoss in one fell swoop. However, with the protoss's combat power, once they lose their organization and become a lone wolf, it will be really big trouble. At that time, he can attack wherever he wants to attack us, and our ordinary players will not be able to catch up or defeat him. It's impossible for advanced players to watch all the time. Besides, our guild is so powerful. Our guild's forces exist almost all over the world. If we only rely on expert defense, we have to allocate it, right? It is easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it is difficult to guard against a thief for a thousand days!

Hongyue is not a fool. She just didn't react before, but now she reacts after hearing what I said. "Yes! We cannot let any individual of the Russian Protoss escape, not even one. I will have people search the nearby area and find this target no matter what."

Although Hong Yue said that he would uproot the last remaining forces of the Russian Protoss, it took a lot of effort to implement it. First of all, we are not sure who is still undiscovered. We don’t know whether it is a protoss hiding somewhere or a group of protoss scattered in some places. In short, we are blind and don’t know anything. Secondly, the Russian Protoss is a very large area, and its internal space is not much smaller than the main world. Searching for a few missed protoss in such a large area is absolutely no different from finding a needle in a haystack. No matter how many people we have in our guild, we probably won’t even be able to see individual hairs spread over such a large area, let alone conduct a pull-type investigation.

Because we couldn't find any clues at all, our people searched from midnight until dawn the next day, but with no results. On the contrary, there is no good news, but bad news keeps appearing. The first is that something went wrong again in the battle on the Japanese side. Previously, due to Matsumoto Masaga's strong entry and the rationality of his tactical arrangements, most Japanese guilds, although not for some reason, eventually adopted the strategy we arranged for Matsumoto Masaka to retreat while advancing. slingshot tactics. Originally, everything was going well. Our guild's large forces swept across Japan. Those Japanese guilds also actively cooperated with us in retreat in order to sustain the power of the huge slingshot Matsumoto Masaru mentioned. In this way, under the circumstances of a fierce attack and a deliberate retreat, the combat speed can be said to increase by leaps and bounds. We later started fighting against the Russian Protoss. The reason why we dared to transfer senior players and powerful NPCs from Japan was because the battle on the Japanese battlefield was coming to an end and there was nothing to worry about, so we removed the senior personnel. Who would have thought that this was about to end, but a fool-type guild suddenly appeared in Japan.

This newly emerged guild completely ignored the strategic guidelines issued by Masamoto Matsumoto, and adopted completely opposite tactics from other Japanese guilds. As long as the people in our guild launched an attack, they would fight to the death. Originally, it was okay for their guild to be disobedient, but the key point is that the Russian Protoss launched the Ring of Commandments to steal the plan in advance, which resulted in us being forced to withdraw all the high-level combat forces stationed in Japan in advance, so that in that guild Under the crazy counterattack, our mopping up troops actually failed to withstand it, and instead they took back two cities.

The gains and losses of two or three cities would have little impact on the overall battle situation. As long as our guild's large forces complete the encirclement, this small guild will still be finished in the end. After all, small guilds are small guilds. We can fill them up with cannon fodder, but they don't have so much manpower and financial resources to resist. Therefore, even if our senior personnel are not here, they should not be able to cause any trouble. However, after countless calculations, we finally missed the variable of Nobunaga's ghost hand.

Originally, due to previous defeats and Matsumoto Masa's eye-catching performance, Nobunaga had been gradually excluded from Japan's leadership circle. However, after the new guild counterattacked strongly and gained certain benefits, Nobunaga Ghost Hands jumped out again and started shouting that there was something wrong with Matsumoto Masa's policy, saying that since someone had already won, it meant that it was now possible Started to fight back. Afterwards, Nobunaga Ghost Hands directly led his group of diehards to launch a counterattack. Our guild can be said to be empty-framed in Japan at this time. There are no truly powerful troops. If Nobunaga and his men lead an attack like this, how can we possibly stop it? The result was naturally that Ghost Hand Nobunaga won a huge victory, and based on this, he announced that the time for counterattack had come, allowing other Japanese guilds to follow him in launching a counterattack.

Although Masamoto Matsumoto is now the leader of the Japanese guilds, his position has not been very stable since he returned to the throne. In addition, the bosses of the Japanese guilds have experienced a period of anarchy before, so now one by one The sense of autonomy is very high, and the result is that the centripetal force and execution ability are far less than before. Now seeing that Nobunaga has gained actual benefits, many guilds that had originally believed in Matsumoto Masaru's plan are now beginning to waver. The powerful big guilds have a special staff group and have a longer-term vision, so they are relatively better off, but the other short-sighted small guilds cannot sit still and have begun to launch counterattacks in advance. Those major guilds originally believed that Matsumoto Masaka was right after listening to the analysis of their own staff groups. As a rule, Matsumoto Masaka's plan was better, but human behavior is often not determined entirely by reason. On the contrary, most of the time people actually act based on instinct rather than reason. Those large guilds that were originally sure that Matsumoto Masaga was right saw that the small guilds had benefited, and began to worry about whether they would suffer losses if they started late. Then some large guilds that could not withstand the temptation began to gradually leave. The original plan was incorporated into this counterattack. With the leader in charge, other big guilds will no longer care about what is irrational and irrational. Although fattening the pig will allow you to eat more meat, there are already other wolves gnawing on the pig. If you don't eat it, let alone the fat pig, you may not be able to get the bones. With this idea, almost all Japanese guilds broke their previous agreements and entered the counterattack in advance. Then they were surprised to find that our guild's offensive power was actually very weak, and then naturally large tracts of territory were taken back. , the whole of Japan gradually returned to the hands of Japanese players faster than before.

I have to say that the situation in Japan is pretty good. Although the Japanese guilds are now collectively counterattacking, which has temporarily frustrated our plan, there is not much problem with the plan itself. As long as we end the battle here and transfer our elite forces back to beat the pain out of the Japanese, then the problem here will naturally be solved. What really embarrasses us is the trouble on Russia's side.

Because we dispatched a large number of elites into the God Realm to annihilate the Russian protoss, the result was a void of troops on the battlefield against Russia. Although we had tightened our defenses in an attempt to frighten the Russians with a massive tactical buildup, the plan failed to work. The characteristic of the Russians is that they like to be reckless. The more dangerous they are, the more they rush forward. Anyway, they have many people and don't care about casualties at all. Originally, if players from other countries discovered that our guild had shrunk its troops on such a large scale, they would definitely think that we were planning some big action. Generally speaking, a large number of scouts should be sent out to explore around at this time, but the Russian commander gave an order to assemble the entire Russian invasion army into a force, and then rushed directly towards our large army.

Although we have assembled a large number of troops, and there are still some experts, the problem is that the Russians have more troops, and all senior personnel are present. When the two sides meet, they will make a decision. The United Legion on our side was completely defeated with almost no decent resistance. Without senior players holding down the formation, our defensive formation simply cannot remain complete. After several raids by Russia's top masters, the defense line completely collapsed. If the opponent used a large force to suppress it, the entire legion would completely fall apart.

Now the Russians have not only defeated the army group used by our guild to deal with them, but what is worse is that they have invaded the hinterland of China, which means that the space-for-time strategy we used before is no longer effective. Behind us is our densely populated area, and there is no way to retreat. And in order to prevent Russian players from wreaking havoc like little Japan did back then, we have to carry out regular resistance, which makes the already collapsed legion suffer even greater losses.

So much bad news broke out overnight, which really made us scratch our heads. But it happened that at this time all the elites of our guild were dragged into the Russian God Realm. It would be useful to end the battle and let these senior personnel go back, but once it ends here, what will happen to that or that missing group of protoss? If you really leave it alone, it will be a time bomb! Who knows when they will come out to mess with us again?

"If I had known it would turn out like this this time, I shouldn't have taken this mission!" I said with a depressed expression in the control room sitting next to the God of War. There are many pictures floating near us. They are all members of the leadership of our guild who have not entered the divine world. Even Masamoto Matsumoto appears in the picture.

Hearing my words of self-blame, Hongyue was the first to comfort me: "I can't blame you for this! Who would have thought that so many things would suddenly happen?"

Military God also said: "That's right. The reaction of the Japanese guilds is a simple herd mentality, but the aggressive guild before was strange and did not seem to be formed spontaneously. And the Russian side, to be honest, I really don’t understand which military academy their commander graduated from! He didn’t even understand such an obvious change in tactics and just sent out all the troops!”

It's okay for the Japanese side. After all, it looks like it was caused by someone behind the scenes. No one else is to blame. But things are strange here in Russia. This time, the Russian army took advantage of them entirely because of the blind command of the other party's commander. It was as if Zhuge Liang had planned an empty city plan, but instead of meeting a shrewd and prudent general, he encountered a reckless man with a brain that could run a train. I don't care if you beat him or not. No matter how good the empty city plan is, if you encounter such a fool, even if Zhuge Wuhou is alive, he will probably be angry to death. No wonder even the cold-blooded computer, the God of War, has some signs of getting angry.

"You just said that the situation in Japan seems to be manipulated by someone, right?" Su Mei suddenly asked.

"What? Did you find anything?" I turned to the screen where Su Mei was and asked. Although her intelligence is close to that of a monster, Sumei is not a combatant after all, so we did not bring her in this divine battle.

Sumei held her chin with one hand while thinking and said: "I don't think it would be a coincidence if only Japan had an accident this time, but problems occurred on both sides of the battlefield at the same time. I think this is probably not a coincidence."

"you mean……?"

"The Russian Protoss should have sent someone to notify the Russian players, and then the Russian players notified the Japanese."

"What's the notice?" Hongyue hasn't reacted yet.

"Combat power." Rose Bang Sumei explained: "The Russian Protoss should have discovered that our combat power was beyond imagination after contacting us. Judging from the cooperation between the Russian Protoss and Russian players, the Russian Protoss should They know the fighting power of normal players quite well. But this time they suddenly encountered a fighting guild as strong as ours, what do you think they would have thought?"

"Think we are all masters here?" Hong Yue replied tentatively.

"That's right." Rose continued: "The Russian Protoss must have discovered that we have a large number of masters here, so they thought that we must not have much high-level combat power left in the world. Afterwards, they informed the Russians of this news. Those players are in the guild, so they brazenly launched a general attack even though they knew that our troops had gathered into a large force. They were not reckless, but confident. As for the Japanese, it was probably the Russians who notified them of."

"This makes everything make sense." Hongyue analyzed: "The Russians and Japanese are so brave to launch attacks because they know that our high-end force is no longer available. But now that we know the reason, we can still solve it. No problem!"

"No. The problem will be easier to solve if you know the cause." Rose said: "The Russian Protoss is basically finished now, so they can't even think about winning no matter what. So why don't they end the battle?"

"In order to hold back the elite power of our guild, our strength in the human world was severely damaged." Hongyue replied.

"That's right. We are still a player guild anyway, and our foundation is not here. The remaining power of the Russian Protoss wants our foundation in the world to be destroyed, so they are dragging our senior staff to prevent us from leaving. And As long as you know this, it will be easy to handle.”

"What's easy to do?" Hongyue still didn't understand.

I couldn't help but explain to Rose: "It's very simple. If the other party doesn't want us to leave, then we must ensure the operation of the teleportation circle. This is why the Russian protoss is still unwilling to close the magic circle after discovering that it is at a disadvantage to seal the divine power. s reason."

The large magic array of the Russian Protoss is a composite magic array, the main function of which is teleportation, and the side function is to seal divine power. But there is a problem, that is, the compound magic circle usually cannot be turned on and off independently. That is to say, once the magic circle is activated, all functions in it will take effect. There is no situation where only one function can be turned on and other functions cannot be turned on. The Russian Protoss has not closed the teleportation circle since they brought the City of Commandments and us into the Russian God Realm. This shows that it is not that they don't want to, but that they cannot. The Ring of Commandment itself represents the law, so it cannot actually be teleported. However, the magic circle itself also has a pulling limit, so the Russian Gods have maintained its operation after opening the teleportation magic circle, forcing the power of law to be unable to restore the position of the Ring of Commandments, so that the City of Commandments has been stabilized in the Russian God Realm. . And as soon as the magic circle is closed, the entire City of Commandments and the Ring of Commandments within it should immediately return to their original position, which is the top of Mount Everest.

It is precisely because the teleportation circle has to resist the automatic restoration ability of the Ring of Commandments that the Russian Protoss has to keep it open. Even if they find that they have no divine power and cannot resist our attacks, they still maintain their operation. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't. If they close the magic circle, their divine power will be restored, but the City of Commandment will be transferred back to its original place. When the gods from all sides surge forward, they will still be dead even if they recover their magic power. This is why they cannot close the magic circle. .

After understanding what the Russian protoss is worried about, what we do next is actually very simple. Since they don't want us to restore the city to its original location, we just have to do the opposite.

"You mean to destroy that super magic circle?" Hong Yue finally understood part of it.

"Yes, but actually this method can not only bring us back to the human world, but also help us end the battle."

"Why?"

"Because the last remaining hostile individuals of the Russian Protoss should be in the core of this teleportation array. They are the last insurance for the Russian Protoss. If their robbery plan fails, these Protoss will guarantee to hold us back. Let’s go back and destroy our guild.”

"What's the benefit of annihilating us?" Hongyue asked with her big eyes even more incomprehensible.

"this……"

"Oh, Sister Hongyue, why are you so stupid!" Su Mei couldn't help shouting: "Of course the Russian protoss will not arrange such a plan just to die with us. Their purpose is to drag the other protoss to be buried with them."

"What does it have to do with other gods to eliminate us?"

"Originally, it was none of our business, but the Ring of Commandments is in our hands." I explained: "Now that the Ring of Commandments is in our hands, it seems that all the gods can guarantee that everything will be fine, and occasionally... We can cooperate with each other to a certain extent, and it can be said to be a joy. But that is just an appearance. There is never a day when the gods really don't care about each other. Once our guild is finished, and we have lost such an important ring of commandments. Russian God Realm, what do you think those gods will do?”

"You should be able to rob it, right?"

"That's right." I continued: "If the Ring of Discipline is lost somewhere in the human world, then it's okay to say that the various gods can at most return to the time before we didn't exist, grabbing each other, but they won't really cause any trouble. What's going on? But once that thing falls into the Russian God Realm, the fun will be great. It's easy for a God to leave his own God Realm, but it's troublesome to enter the God Realm of other Gods. The other party invites It's convenient for you to go there, but if you don't have the other party's permission, you have to pay a huge price if you want to enter the other party's god realm, especially if you have to compete for the ring of commandments after entering. By then, the gods of all parties will be greatly consumed. The strength of the Russian Protoss will make them all languish, and some of the Protoss will even be completely exterminated. By then, as long as there are even a few descendants of the Russian Protoss left, they can slowly develop. Because the Protoss forces everywhere will not be able to take care of them at that time. They. And those protoss who came to participate in the war will definitely leave a lot of equipment in the Russian god world after their death. This just allows the remaining forces of the Russian protoss to take advantage and help them develop rapidly. Therefore, this move of the Russian protoss is definitely a dead end. count."

"I found that I am the purest thinker in our guild, and both of you are as smart as monkeys!" Hongyue sighed.

Su Mei smiled and said: "Sister Hongyue, don't laugh at yourself. It's good if you can think of questions. The really stupid one is probably Uncle Ying. Haven't you seen that people haven't dared to ask questions until now?"

"Little girl, have I offended you?" Ying pretended to be angry and made a few threatening gestures at Sumei, and then said sternly: "Now that you know what to do, hurry up! We are really here outside I can’t stand it any longer. In the past, we used our advanced combat power to bully others, but now it’s all reversed. Three of my own soldiers can’t defeat two of their own, and this battle is really frustrating!”

"Okay, okay, you try your best to withstand it first. If it doesn't work, I allow you to use secret weapons."

"Secret weapon? Our guild still has a secret weapon?" Masamoto Matsumoto's eyes almost glowed green when he heard the secret weapon. When he was the head of Japan, he was brought to a dead end by the endless secret weapons of our guild. Now that he heard that we had another secret weapon, he immediately pricked up his ears.

"Don't get excited! The so-called secret weapon is actually not a high-end thing, it's just an amplified liquefied magic crystal steam bomb."

"Zoom in? How big?"

"I don't remember the exact age. Anyway, it's not a problem to bomb a city at once. It's just that the money is a bit too much. Otherwise, when the Russian guys first invaded, I would have people throw them ten or eight and send them all back to their hometowns. Got it!"

As soon as I finished talking about roses, I cursed: "Do you know how much one of those things costs? Ten or eight of them? If you throw away one, we will have to count our money in the second half of the year. If you throw away all ten or eight, what are you going to do?" What’s the point of starting begging on the streets next month?”

"Why don't I just tell you!" I smiled apologetically at Rose and congratulated Matsumoto: "You should also tighten your grip over there and try to gather back all the guilds that can be gathered together. We have a hand here. We will clean up those Japanese guilds that don't listen to you. When the time comes, you can be more ruthless. If anyone comes to you again for asylum, you just need to ask them to merge into your guild. No other conditions will be discussed. . Now I understand that you can’t be too polite when dealing with the Japanese!”

"Hey, boss, can you please take care of me as a Japanese? Can you please don't scold all the players in Japan next time?"

"I'm sorry, I just made those idiots angry. Okay, let's go ahead and do whatever we need to do. I also have to destroy that super magic circle as soon as possible."

After leaving the God of War, I called a group of senior players from my guild and powerful NPCs to go directly to the core area of ​​the super magic circle. It's useless to bring more people to do this kind of thing, so I chose very powerful and powerful characters. Although there are only about thirty people if we add them all together, the thirty or so of us can bring them together. A large force composed of hundreds of thousands of players rushed to pieces, and no one of us was injured in the process. At most, it only consumed some mana.

Because we had been here last time, and the magic circle was running, it would emit magic power, so we quickly found the location of the core area. However, this core area is buried underground, so there must be an entrance if you want to go down. Considering that it was not easy to find a small entrance in the city that was used as a cover, we finally adopted the most direct method and dug a hole directly into the tunnel from the ground.

Almost at the same time that the hole was penetrated, we suddenly felt that the surrounding soil tightened violently, followed by a huge pressure. All the soil near us actually pressed towards us with us as the center.

"Spell - Mana Shock Wave." A player following me suddenly recited something, and the surrounding soil suddenly lost its support, and we fell from the high cave roof together.

Although we suddenly fell from a high altitude and there was mud around us, no one was a rookie. When we finally landed, no one fell down. They all stood firmly on the ground. And the moment after landing, as if they had received an order, everyone suddenly started moving in order, and in a flash, they all found a hiding place to hide. The difference between a master and a rookie is clear at a glance. The average person would definitely be at a loss in this situation, but the masters will try their best to find opportunities for themselves. Just like now, because we are all hiding in hiding places, even if the enemy on the opposite side knows that we are coming down, they can't attack us directly.

"I didn't expect you guys to come anyway." After all of us hid, a strong voice appeared in the passage.

"What? Are you surprised by our arrival?" I hid in the dark and talked to the other party while releasing the ghost bug to spy on the nearby situation.

"No, I don't find it strange at all." The guy opposite said with some frustration: "In the end, we were the ones who made the first move, so I don't blame you for wanting to kill them all."

"I didn't mean it originally, but you Russian protoss are too hospitable and won't let us go!"

After hearing my words, the other person paused obviously, so he asked tentatively: "Don't you know that the Ring of Discipline is about to return automatically?"

"What are you talking about? Please be more direct."

"That's it! Hahahaha, God's will!" The Russian protoss muttered to himself for a while like a lunatic, and then explained: "Did you notice that the City of Commandments shook violently a few times? And the shaking became more and more intense. More often?"

I didn't expect that the other party would ask this suddenly. The City of Commandments did shake a few times before, which made us think that the Russian Protoss was trying to play some tricks, but the people sent by the God of War and the Red Moon did not find any useful information. Unexpectedly, this guy actually knew the reason.

"So what?"

"This means that the City of Commandment is about to leave here and return to your original space."

I originally wanted to ask why, but just as I was about to pretend, I suddenly stopped because I had already thought of the possible reasons. The ring of commandments is a collection of laws, which itself represents the power of the laws. Although the Russian protoss used a super magic circle to forcibly pull it to the Russian divine world, the ring of commandments is a collection of laws. Its properties determine that it can only exist in the main world of the human world and cannot appear in other worlds. . This makes it instinctively resist teleportation. Therefore, the large teleportation array of the Russian Protoss did not completely pull the City of Commandments into the Russian God Realm. Our City of Commandments only entered the Russian God Realm for the most part. It is actually still caught in the space gap. After understanding this, it is a good explanation for why we always felt that the Russian Protoss was particularly weak when we fought against the Russian Protoss before. In fact, the reason is not only because the Russian gods have lost their divine power, but more importantly, because we are not in the Russian god world, but in half space. On the surface, it looks like we are already in the Russian God Realm, but in fact we have not come at all. What appears here is just our projection. According to the laws of space, half space has natural repulsion, while complete space has natural attraction. In other words, it is easy to think of things in half space, but it is difficult for things in normal space to enter half space. Based on this space law, the attacks we launch when we are in half space are actually strengthened. However, the attacks launched by the gods against us in the positive space must first pass through the space barrier before they can hit us. This means that each of us has a natural layer of protection. The final result is like one person standing on the roof of a building and another person standing on the ground, and then throwing rocks at each other. Regardless of accuracy, the person on the roof must have taken advantage. That's why we feel that the Russian Protoss is so invincible and that our defense seems to have become higher. In fact, the Russian protoss is still very capable of fighting, and our defense has not become higher, just because the law of space has helped us.

After understanding the problem of space laws, it is not difficult to guess why the City of Commandments shook. Although the magic circle created by the Russian protoss resisted the power of the Ring of Commandments and pulled it very close to the Russian God Realm, no matter how powerful the magic circle was, it only borrowed the power of the law. No matter how you put it, No matter how huge or perfect it is, it cannot compete with the law itself. Therefore, although the Ring of Discipline has been pulled over, it has been consuming the power of the magic circle. The few vibrations we felt before are probably due to the fact that the magic array is about to be unable to withstand it. As soon as the magic array collapses, the City of Commandment will immediately be restored to its original position by the power of the law.

"Your magic circle is about to collapse, right?" Knowing the reason, the questions I asked were naturally different. Although the people around me were confused as to why I asked this, they didn't say anything and continued to be cautious about the surrounding situation. Masters are different from novices. An important reason why they are difficult to kill is that they are often more cautious than novices.

When the protoss opposite heard my question, he knew that I had guessed the reason. He said helplessly: "To be honest, I really want to destroy your guild. But I can't bear to leave my lovely students, so I don't want to fight with you anymore. If you can understand what I mean, then Just invite you in."

"What? You want to surrender?"

"No, it's not that I want to surrender." The protoss said: "I will let my apprentices join your guild, but I will not join. When you send them away, I will fight you openly. Until you die here."

faint! Met a madman! But fortunately, this madman is still somewhat good to us. Although it's a bit dangerous for me to go in alone, I'm a player anyway, so if I die just once, it's not a big deal. If the other party tells the truth, then we will get a big deal.

I told those who followed me to be careful, and then I walked out of the hiding place alone. I saw that the guy who spoke before turned out to be an old man, wearing a suit of tattered armor, which really gave people the feeling that he was not as famous as he was when he met him. When I heard the voice, I thought he was a very powerful guy, but I didn't expect him to be a dirty old man!

"Come, come in with me." When he saw me walking out, the other party didn't say much and directly asked me to follow him.

Behind the old man is the end of the passage, and in front is a huge underground structure. But unlike the node I discovered last time, this core area is n times larger than the previous one. It felt like the difference between the living room at home and the National Stadium. It was so big that it was boundless.

There is a circle of passage entrances neatly distributed around this core area. Each entrance is connected by a huge magic wire, and finally gathered into a huge altar in the center of the core area, and floating above the huge altar. There is a ray of light with a diameter of more than one meter. Speaking of which, this size is not very small, but compared with this huge altar, this ball of light seems a little smaller.

Perhaps noticing my gaze, the old man suddenly explained: "This source of faith was originally very large, but because the Ring of Discipline has been resisting violently, the power of faith is consumed very quickly, and now there is only this little left. ”

"Oh." I nodded first, and then suddenly reacted violently. I opened my mouth wide enough to swallow an egg, stared at the thing suspended above the altar with eyes like a bull's eyes, and screamed. "Xi... Xixi... the source of faith? You said that thing is the core of God of the Russian Protoss?"

"That's right." The old man said very dejectedly: "Those guys were blinded by profit, and they actually wanted to bet their future destiny with the source of their faith. Although if we win, we will be able to reach the sky in one step, but unfortunately, we failed It’s a complete failure!”

I looked at the old man in surprise, and then moved my gaze back to the core of divine power that was still spinning. Now I finally understand why the Russian protoss sealed their divine power. Before, they planned to seal off the divine power of the various protoss guards, which was true, but later they discovered that we were the ones defending, so they should have thought that sealing the divine power would only cause inconvenience to themselves. It would be okay if they did not dare to close the magic circle after it was activated in order to resist the pull of the ring of commandments, but what about before it was activated? Didn't they start their plan in advance just because they found out that I discovered their plan? Now that you've discovered it, why not make preparations? I initially attributed this to the Russian protoss not having time to change the structure of the magic circle, but now it seems that it may not be entirely due to that reason. There is another reason here.

The Russian protoss uses their own divine core as the power source of the magic circle, which means that they are gradually losing their divine power. In other words, even if their magic circle only unilaterally seals the enemy's divine power, it is still the same for the Russian protoss, because the core of their divine power is being used as energy, and they still cannot use their divine power even if they are not within the sealing range. It would be better to simply block all the divine power and be done with it.

"Your leader is really ruthless, he actually dares to use this thing to block it. Without the core of divine power, what is the difference between the gods and ordinary people?"

"That's why I entrust my disciples to you." The old man said: "The core is almost extinguished. By then, they will all become ordinary people. Although they are still more powerful than ordinary people in the world, they are not gods anymore. , if they don’t find a strong backer, I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to survive!”

"It's really unlucky for the Gods to get involved with you. But..." I paused deliberately at this point. It wasn't until the old man showed a worried look that he continued: "But I already have a lot of ordinary warriors." It’s useless to ask for it.” The old man’s heart immediately lifted after hearing my words, because my words clearly meant that I didn’t intend to take prisoners. However, just when he was about to argue, I suddenly continued: "But it would be different if it was a group of gods."

"Huh, after all, you still have to kill them all! Okay! Then let me and my disciples fight to death here together." Following the old man's words, a dozen or so protoss who had been hiding in another passage came together. He rushed out and protected the old man in the middle. It looked like he was going to fight me desperately. It's just that without the support of the core of divine power, I'm really not afraid of these half-hearted protoss.

"Don't worry! I didn't say I didn't want it, it's just that I don't want ordinary people."

"Hmph, the core of divine power is about to be extinguished, and we will soon be ordinary people. What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?"

"Of course it's different, because I have a way to keep that thing." I said and pointed towards the rolling core of divine power.
