Volume 19, Chapter 52: Scheme Against Each Other
After having the experience of successfully annihilating the first Russian hunting team, things will become much simpler after that. Referring to this combat model, the mixed formations of Aurora Beasts and Undead began to spread out to look for the Russian hunting teams. The Russian teams began to disappear one by one without the knowledge of the Russians. At first, after several teams disappeared in succession, the Russians thought they had encountered an accident. The information reported by the dead players was also attacked by Warcraft, so they did not pay attention to it. However, as more and more teams were losing like this at any time, the Russians finally began to realize that the problem was not as simple as they thought.
"You idiots, this is not a Warcraft attack at all." In the center of the Cursed Forest, the Frozen Banshee was angrily scolding a group of shrinking Russian senior players.
"But those who attacked us were all local monsters. We couldn't imagine what problems these monsters would have at the moment!" A taller guy among the scolded players argued.
The Frozen Banshee angrily scolded: "If you are ordinary players, I don't blame you for not being able to discover the traps in this, but are you ordinary people? When you first came here, both of you beat your chests so loudly, If I am not a master, then there is no master. Let me ask you. Is this what you call the strength of a master?"
"us……"
The guy before was about to defend when he was grabbed by someone next to him. "Forget it, don't talk to her anymore at this time, just a few words, otherwise you will be scolded even worse."
"Hmph!" The guy who was pulled was obviously not convinced, but he also knew in his heart that he would only suffer if the argument continued. The Frozen Banshee's curse skills are as powerful as her fighting skills. These big and round men are no match for her.
The Frozen Banshee also knew that just scolding them was useless, so she simply said to those guys: "Okay, now is not the time to hold people accountable. You should find out what happened as soon as possible."
As soon as the Frozen Banshee started talking about business, several Russian players nearby immediately said: "We have also investigated before, and the creatures that attacked us are basically two races of creatures. One is the Aurora Beast we are capturing, and the other is One is the undead army from the Cursed Forest. Ordinarily, they have a reason to attack us, but this kind of organized cooperation does not seem to be normal."
"It's not abnormal, but very abnormal." The Frozen Banshee said: "Why did we seize this cursed forest in the first place? Isn't it to suppress the light attribute of the Aurora Beast? Those undead creatures They are the purest dark creatures, the Aurora Beast and the undead cooperate to fight against us. You actually treat this kind of thing as a normal phenomenon. I really don’t know how you grew your brains!"
"Master Frozen Banshee, in fact, we think it is not impossible for undead creatures to cooperate with Aurora Beasts." The player who was quibbling before pretended to be modest and said: "If it is an ordinary creature with its own hostile attributes, It is naturally incomprehensible for species to cooperate, but this Aurora Beast is obviously different from the previous intelligence. These guys are not only superior in intelligence, but also very good at finding the enemy's weaknesses and taking advantage of the surrounding environment to fight against the enemy. Before, our capture team had so many This has been fully proven. In this incident of the cooperation between the undead and the Aurora Beast, the Aurora Beast probably took advantage of the undead's desire to fight against us and treated it as a natural attribute, so …”
"So you are an idiot." The Frozen Banshee interrupted the guy before he finished speaking and cursed directly: "Only you can think of this nonsense theory. Even if the Aurora Beast has the characteristic of using form to fight the enemy , but how to explain the undead creatures? Those guys hate all living things! Even if the Aurora Beast wants to use the undead to take revenge on us, the undead will not accept this. Based on the racial characteristics of the undead, most of them are in As soon as I discovered the light creature, I pounced on it."
"Actually, there is another possibility." A handsome blond guy who looked quite sunny suddenly interjected: "What if an alien creature intervenes?"
"Foreign creature?" The Frozen Banshee looked at the handsome boy in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Actually, what I mean is very simple. What if there is a species that is liked by the light-type Aurora Beast and is also accepted by the undead?" The handsome guy said, "For example, a player with high affinity."
After hearing this, the Frozen Banshee lowered her head and thought for a while. After more than ten seconds, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who contacted those guys who died just now?"
"It's me," one player shouted, raising his hand.
The Frozen Banshee immediately shouted: "Immediately change your account to contact those people and ask them if they have noticed any strange creatures appearing in the place where they were attacked."
The player nodded and said: "No problem, but are there any specific characteristics? Just a strange creature, this range is too big, right?"
The Frozen Banshee thought for a moment and said: "Insects. Translucent bugs, or crystal-like bugs. They may be flying bugs, or they may be fixed in a certain place. Or there are some large bee-like monsters."
"Okay, I'll ask right now." After hearing the request, the player immediately went offline and changed his account to ask about the situation. However, the rest of the people in the room looked quite surprised.
"Have you thought of him too?" The handsome guy who had previously raised the possibility asked the Frozen Banshee.
"Weren't you already suspicious?" the Frozen Banshee asked.
The handsome guy said: "I was just a little skeptical, but you just confirmed it!"
The Frozen Banshee also said helplessly: "The situation I am most worried about now is the situation you guessed. However, speaking of it, that person does fully meet this requirement, so even if I don't know what he is, Whoever is leading this matter, I must at least eliminate him first before I can feel at ease."
"But what if it can't be ruled out?"
"Then be prepared for your plan to fail!"
Regarding the conversation between the Frozen Banshee and the sunny guy, the people present didn't ask a word. It wasn't that they didn't care, but that they all knew who they were talking about.
Sure enough, a player waited for them to finish before asking: "If it is really Ziri, what should we do? Should we just give up the mission?"
The Frozen Banshee shook her head and said: "It is naturally impossible to give up the mission, but our chances of winning are definitely not good. Judging from the current situation, if the Purple Sun really intervenes, then many Aurora Beasts and undead creatures have already Under his command. So far, our people have not found any reports of Zi Ri attacking them. Most likely, Zi Ri doesn't want us to find out in advance that he has arrived. If he is really causing trouble this time, then we Once we officially counterattack, Zi Ri will definitely join the battle immediately. With the cooperation of so many aurora beasts and high-level undead, it will be extremely difficult for us to win. Moreover, even if we win, our final capture plan may not be possible. Gotta take a bath.”
"It's not good, Commander-in-Chief!" The player who had gone offline to inquire about the situation suddenly appeared in front of everyone again, and then shouted anxiously.
"What's going on?" The Frozen Banshee was already nervous enough, but now she became even more nervous after being called out by this guy. And because she was nervous, her attitude was naturally very bad, but then The player obviously didn't notice the change in the Frozen Banshee's expression.
After hearing the question from the Frozen Banshee, the Ming player immediately said: "As soon as I passed by, I was surrounded by those who were hanging back. They said that someone just said that they saw someone hanging on a nearby tree when they died. A very beautiful colorful crystal beetle. He regretted not bringing the beetle back. Later, when he heard the man talk about it, many people said they had seen it too, but they didn't take it seriously. Later, someone analyzed , that beetle should not be colorful. What they saw were the colors of the rainbow produced by the refraction of light. It should actually be a transparent crystal beetle. Later someone said that they seemed to remember where they saw it. I have seen records of this kind of beetle, and then those people started to go to the forum to read the information out of boredom. It doesn't matter if they don't read it, but it will scare people to death. The forum said that this kind of thing is called a ghost bug, which is a parasitic beetle. But so far, I have only heard of three people in the entire server, and the most famous one is Ziri."
Hearing my name, the Frozen Banshee and the sunny handsome boy looked at each other helplessly. They both knew that this plan was probably going to be cancelled. Not to mention that those aurora beasts themselves are not easy to catch. Now that there is a huge obstacle like me, it is even more impossible. Therefore, the problem facing the Russians now is not how to continue to capture the Aurora Beast, but how to escape intact.
"What should we do now?" When the group of players following the Frozen Banshee heard that it was me, they all nervously gathered around the Frozen Banshee and asked, "Should we immediately gather everyone outside?" Call me back? That guy Ziri's surprise attack ability is too strong. If we don't gather together, we will definitely be defeated individually, right?"
"Shut up, do you think it's useful to gather together?" The Frozen Banshee angrily said: "It's useless to deal with an existence like Zi Ri with a large number of people. We gather together just to make it easier for him to kill them all. "
"Then we can't sit still and wait for death, right?"
"Who says we have to sit back and wait for death?"
"Then what do you mean...?"
"What I mean is very simple. Now that Zuri has arrived, it means that our plan is useless, so we might as well change our plan."
"Change the plan?" Those players asked in confusion: "Do we have any backup plans?"
"Actually, we have a backup plan for a long time. We just didn't plan to use it here. But now it looks like it won't be necessary." The Frozen Banshee suddenly said to the player who had gone offline to ask about the situation: "You should change immediately. The trumpet goes back and informs us at the Banshee House."
"What do I want to say?" the player asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Just tell them that the 'shooting' operation has begun and let them come here."
"clear."
After hearing the order, the player immediately logged off and changed to a small account to convey the order. The Frozen Banshee immediately turned around and said to the people around her: "Immediately notify the outgoing search team to gather here, and the speed must be fast."
"clear."
When the Frozen Banshee finished her mission and began to command the Russians to change their plans, our joint forces had already killed nearly three hundred members of the Russian hunting team. Compared with the number of Russians coming this time, this number is obviously more than one-tenth. The enemy's strength was reduced by one-tenth before the battle officially started, especially since our own side was almost unscathed. Such a victory was really too easy.
In fact, to be fair, the strength of these Russian hunting teams is not bad. The reason why they lost so miserably was entirely because of our mental calculations and unintentional calculations. Think about it, how can a hunter who goes hunting in the mountains think that there are a group of wolves and a group of tigers in the forest setting traps to catch a hunter to improve their food? Moreover, with the strength of the Aurora Beast and the group of undead, it cannot be regarded as a joint battle between wolves and tigers. It should be that a group of aliens and a group of terminators suddenly appeared in the forest to jointly deal with the hunters. How can the hunters be immortal under such circumstances?
"Huh?" I suddenly discovered that the Russian hunting team in the psychic network suddenly changed their direction and moved toward the center of the forest. I almost immediately realized that those guys realized that something was wrong.
"President Ziri, is there any problem?" The skeleton lord asked carefully when he noticed that my expression was wrong. After what happened just now, he was completely convinced of my plan. Think about how powerful the group of Russians who killed their original lord were, but now they are killed without the ability to fight back. What is this? This is the power of wisdom. Although the Skeleton Lord has a problem with his brain, one thing about him is very smart, that is, although he has a problem with his brain, he is very able to accept other people's suggestions, and he also has special admiration for people who have a brain that works well. Speaking of which, what this skeleton lord admires the most is my counterattack plan. At this rate, they will soon be able to retake the cursed forest that originally belonged to them, and they will do it with almost zero casualties.
Hearing the Skeleton Lord's words, I turned around and explained: "It seems that our relaxing time is over."
"Ah? Why?" The Skeleton Lord cannot share the psychic network, so he does not know the Russians' movements.
The Aurora Beast Queen knew that he could not see the information in the psychic network, so she explained to him: "We have detected that the Russians nearby are concentrating on the center of the Cursed Forest."
"Have they discovered our plan?" Lord Skeleton asked immediately.
"Whether they know our specific plan is uncertain, but it is certain that they already know that the previous attack was not a simple accident."
————————————————————————————
After hearing my words, the Skeleton Lord said instead: "Actually, I already knew that our plan would be discovered soon. It's okay to say that one or two teams disappeared, but there were so many people suddenly missing in such a short period of time. It's a fool's errand." We know this is not a normal situation. Besides, we don't even use concealment methods. Every attack is a mixture of undead and aurora beasts. Seeing us gathering together like this, they naturally know that there must be a third party leading us. "
I was quite surprised when I heard the Skeleton Lord's words. He turned around and took another look at the lord in front of him, who didn't look very smart, with surprised eyes. "Didn't you think you were also stupid?"
The Skeleton Lord explained: "Although I can't be said to be smart, I am a Lord after all. If my brain is really stupid, this position cannot be mine. However, I still can't figure out your previous plan. Letting us and Aurora Beast jointly attack is obviously not to increase combat effectiveness. Even a dumb person like me knows that if the two races are allowed to act alone, the enemy will find us much later, but why do you want us to come together? What about action?”
"Have you discovered all this?" I looked at the Skeleton Lord in surprise and said, "You guessed it right, the reason why you can act together is to expose the fact that you have joined forces."
"But doesn't this make it impossible to kill enemies so easily?"
"No, the purpose of this is not only to kill the enemy easily, but also to kill the enemy more perfectly in the future." I induced: "What do you think the enemy will do when they find out that you have joined forces?"
The Skeleton Lord thought for a moment and said: "Shrink the troops first, and then send people out to investigate the situation."
"Then what if the person who came out to investigate the situation also died?"
"Then I will definitely gather the troops together and stay where they are."
"But what if the enemy doesn't show up after you gather your troops to defend for a long time?"
"Then we can only transfer." At this point, the Skeleton Lord suddenly stopped, and then said with sudden realization: "So you want to ambush them during their transfer?"
"That's right. This will not only kill these guys as quickly as possible, but also ensure that there are no missing members to the greatest extent. If we spread out to track their teams and defeat them individually, then it is indeed possible to kill many of them, but we can't Make sure there are no casualties in our team, and after the opponent's team is attacked, they will eventually find the problem, and if they find that the remaining number of their own personnel is too few, they will no longer defend, but Maybe we just dispersed and broke through. I didn't want to let any enemy go, so I deliberately let them discover our 'conspiracy' and then let them gather the troops into a group."
"Your plan is very good, but I don't know. If the other party moves a large group of troops, how can we eliminate them without causing casualties to our own personnel?"
"This depends on the things those guys brought themselves."
"What did they bring?" The Skeleton Lord didn't know that these Russians brought a lot of equipment in order to capture the super-fast Aurora Beast. Those things were prepared for the Aurora Beasts, so the undead didn't see them, but the Aurora Beasts all knew it. After all, they have psychic networks. As long as one Aurora Beast has seen it, all the other Aurora Beasts know it.
Seeing that the Skeleton Lord was confused, the Aurora Beast Queen explained the functions of the Russian props. Then the Skeleton Lord waved his hand, and many small skeletons spread into the forest to help dig out the trapped ones. .
In "Zero", the undead and insect types are probably the species with the highest population density on land. Although the population density of the undead is usually not as high as that of insects, the Sea of the Undead is a well-known thing after all, so the undead never worry about having too many opponents. Because there were more people, they never lost.
The Russians are now worried about our sneak attacks, so they have hurriedly gathered their troops together. As for those traps... How can they have time to care about those things now?
Because all the Russian traps were lost in the Cursed Forest, it was too easy for us to collect them. My ghost beetle has already recorded the locations of all the traps in the Cursed Forest. Through me, I mark all the traps discovered by the ghost beetle on the map of the psychic network, and then send some aurora beasts that can receive information from the psychic network to take the undead with them. Let's dig a trap. With the joint efforts of the three parties, we soon dug out all the traps.
Just digging out these traps was not enough. We also found some locations on various roads in the forest where the Russians might pass by and buried these traps. If nothing else happened, when the Russians retreated, there was a high chance that they would The enemy will pass through one of these roads, and by then the trap we have laid will allow the Russians to taste the power of the trap they invented.
While we were laying traps on our side, the Russians were not idle either. The group of Russian elite players who were summoned to the center of the Cursed Forest built a temporary defense line in the center of the forest. Although it cannot be compared with a regular city, it is at least much better than nothing.
In addition to the temporarily built defense line, the special team of the Banshee House also entered the forest area with a bunch of special equipment. Accompanying them were the Russian players who had died and returned to the city. These people come with the girls from the Banshee House. On the one hand, they can play the role of Asian Games and escorts. On the other hand, they can also supplement the strength of the Frozen Banshee's defense line. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. However... this group of people obviously didn't know that they were about to suffer a disaster on behalf of the Frozen Banshee and the others.
Originally, we re-buried so many traps, mainly to prepare them for use when the Russians' main force transfers. Although these traps are not very lethal, they are very suitable for slowing down their movement. It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. After we laid the trap, before the main force of the Russians moved, we first waited for the group of Russian elite players and the gang of girls from the Banshee House who came for reinforcements.
"I heard that you brought equipment specifically designed to deal with the purple sun this time. What kind of equipment is it like?" In the Russian reinforcement team, a male player was working hard with a player from the Banshee House. mm struck up a conversation, but unfortunately, the other party obviously didn't want to dump him.
Seeing that he had been talking for a long time, but the other party didn't respond at all. The player felt bored, so he had to put up his speed and put some distance between himself and the mm.
This man is actually the leader of the reinforcements, and the woman in front is the leader of the Banshee House. It can be said that the two of them are the two top leaders of the team, so their positions are actually At the front of the line. However, because the male player was left out and no longer wanted to be side by side with the other player, now only the female player was left at the front.
The male player here had just retreated to the back for a while when he suddenly heard a click. The girl in front stepped on the air and half of his legs sank into the ground. However, just after the mm's feet sank in, the ground on both sides suddenly bounced up. With a bang, two huge clamps suddenly closed on the upper part of the mm's calves, and then the mm He fell directly to the side.
Of course, what this mm stepped on was the kind of rice cooker-like clamp prepared for Aurora Beast, but Aurora Beast is already a medium-to-large creature, and their defense power is not low, so the clamps are designed to be very large, and their bite force is also quite amazing. . However, the one who stepped on the trap now was not the Aurora Beast, but a little girl from the human race. How can human legs compare to the huge claws of Aurora Beast? To the Aurora Beast, the clamp could only draw out some blood, but to a human, it was like a guillotine, cutting off the whole little girl's calf in an instant.
"Ah..." It wasn't until the person fell to the ground that the girl realized what she was doing and cried loudly, but everyone around her suddenly recovered. The nearest girls who were also members of the Banshee House rushed over to help with the treatment, but they were stopped by someone within two steps of running out.
"Don't move." Although they didn't know why, the girls stopped immediately, and then all of them looked at the shouting player and waited for the other party's explanation. "Don't move. These are the clamps we use to deal with Aurora Beasts. They usually come in groups of more than three hundred and will not be buried alone. They must be full of these things around here!"
"What?" Once they heard that these things were all around them, those girls no longer dared to move. It can bite off a person's leg in one go. The power of this thing is really terrifying.
In fact, the original clamp is not so powerful. The reason why it has become so powerful here is, on the one hand, because human legs are not as strong as the Aurora Beast's legs, and on the other hand, it is also because of the processing we have done. The original clips are all padded, probably to ensure that the Aurora Beast is not seriously injured. After all, they want to capture rather than kill, so they use a relatively gentle clip. But we were not trying to capture Russian players, so there was no need to use cushions. As a result, we removed the cushions from all the clips and turned them into terrifying weapons like guillotines.
"You idiots, don't you mark the clips you buried?" A girl looked at her injured and wailing companions and shouted angrily at the group of boys.
The group of male players were also terribly depressed, but it was hard for them to explain. There is more than one team burying clips. Although these people have never buried clips here, it does not mean that others have not buried clips. What makes them wonder is why there is no agreed mark nearby?
