Chapter 282: Masamoto Matsumoto’s Public Opinion Guidance

I still want to see the situation before deciding on the matter of Ghost Hand Nobunaga, but Yamata no Orochi can't delay any longer. After receiving the news, I discussed it with Sumei and the others for a short time and came up with a rough result. Although this is not as effective as the previous plan, now that I have temporarily changed my plan, it is considered good to be able to achieve this point.

"Masaki Matsumoto, we already have a solution here." As soon as the plan came out, I immediately contacted Masamoto Matsumoto.

As soon as Matsumoto Masaga received my communication, he immediately asked: "Is there a solution?"

"Yes, the new plan is like this..." After my explanation, Matsumoto Masako quickly understood the content of the plan. The new plan is actually much easier to implement than the original one. After all, this plan was made in a hurry, so there won't be too many links in it. After all, we don't have time to think too much. However, although this plan seems simple, the execution is not as effective as the previous plan. After all, this is a temporary method, so it would be good if it can be used.

"Okay, I understand." After hearing my plan, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately called August Kaoru and the three of them together to issue a summons order to the New Black Dragon Association and their alliance guilds, and then a large number of Japanese Players began to gather at the location designated by Matsumoto Masa.

In fact, this meeting point is near Fulcrum City, and the straight-line distance is not that far anyway. The reason why we chose this place is to wait for everyone to gather together. Once the plan is successful, we can immediately take these people to stop Yamata no Orochi. If we do this in the headquarters city of the New Black Dragon Society, after everyone has finished discussing it, forget it. If Japanese players are willing to stop Yamata no Orochi, it may be too late.

"Okay, how is the situation now?" Half an hour later. At the agreed meeting point, August Xun asked Ying Yu Shen Hina, who was responsible for counting people.

Yingyu Shenchu ​​took out a list and looked at it, and then said: "One hundred and fifty-three of the one hundred and seventy-two guilds notified have already sent people, but the number of people who came is not very large. We are so After hastily urging them to come, the only people who can be mobilized are a few management members in the guild and some people who happen to be in the guild. Most of the staff cannot be gathered together for the time being."

"Then how many people from these guilds have arrived in total?"

"There are probably more than 20,000 people."

"More than 20,000?" Masamoto Matsumoto next to him nodded and said, "Well, that should be enough."

"Then let's start early. I don't know what Yamata no Orochi is waiting for. We are afraid that he will launch a sudden attack and our preparations will be too late."

"That's right." Masamoto Matsumoto confirmed: "Then let's get started."

More than 20,000 people gathered together, and it was not a well-disciplined army, so it was impossible to be silent. And because they didn't know what it was, these people started asking each other after gathering together. The result was that this gathering point was noisier than a duck farm. More than 20,000 people are talking together, and they might have been talking in low voices originally, but with so many people around, you talk and I talk too. When everyone's voices are concentrated, the volume starts to get louder. Some people start to talk louder because they can't hear clearly. When some people talk louder, the noise becomes louder, so gradually everyone starts shouting. The one who yelled was talking.

Twenty thousand people gathered together and shouted at the top of their lungs. It would be weird if their voices could be lowered.

Just when more than 20,000 people were discussing with each other in confusion what Matsumoto Masaru was going to say at this time, they heard a sharp whistle passing above everyone's heads, although the sound was not loud. But it was particularly sharp, so everyone unconsciously stopped talking and noticed the thing that made the sound.

In fact, this sounder is just a sounding arrow with a special whistle. Of course, this thing is driven by magic. Even if a normal bow and arrow makes a sounding arrow, it is impossible to make such a big noise.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when all 20,000 people were quiet, Matsumoto Masaga stood on top of a big rock that had been prepared in front of him and said with a magic loudspeaker: "Please be quiet for a moment and listen to me now. I know." You are all wondering why I suddenly called you all here at this time. This is very abnormal. However, what I want to say is that I have no choice. If it is not really important, I will never let everyone run away like this. One trip.”

"Then what is so important?" Someone shouted from below.

Masamoto Matsumoto immediately said: "This thing is that we got a piece of news before. It's not convenient for me to tell the origin of this news, and don't ask. Anyway, as long as you know that this news is indeed credible. According to this news We can now confirm that our serpent god, Yamata no Orochi, is currently lurking outside Fulcrum City with a group of monsters of unknown origin, and may launch an attack at any time."

As soon as Matsumoto Masaru said these words, there was an immediate buzz, and the originally quiet place turned into a vegetable market in a second.

"Quiet! Quiet!..." Matsumoto Masahiro shouted for a long time before the bottom finally became quiet again. Matsumoto Masahiro waited until all the Japanese players below focused their attention on him before he spoke. : "Before we talk about Yamata no Orochi in detail, we first want to tell you two other things. The first is about the incident that just broke out, that Yamata no Orochi insulted us Japanese players."

Masamoto Matsumoto's words this time caused a commotion again, but it was not bad. The news this time calmed down quickly. After all, this was much less explosive than the previous message.

After everyone became quiet again, Masamoto Matsumoto spoke again: "I know this incident caused a great response, and you must have heard about it. To be honest, I was very excited when I first heard about it. After all, Yamato Orochi's behavior was really chilling. However, after being excited for a while, I suddenly calmed down. If we change our position and put ourselves in the position of Yamato-no-Orochimasa, what Yamato-no-Orochi said at that time In fact, they are just a few angry words. You must have experienced such angry words made out of anger. In fact, we all know that we don’t really think that way, and we will never do that in the future. After all, angry words It was just a language used to vent emotions out of anger, so the tone must be a bit harsh. Of course, Yamata no Orochi must have made a mistake when he said such words, but this mistake is actually very small. At most, the Yamata no Orochi would be punished in public. It's enough for everyone to apologize. I heard that some people said that they wanted to overthrow the bastard god clan Yamata no Orochi, and that they wanted to gather the power of all Japanese players to destroy the Yamata no Orochi. Such words are obviously angry words and extreme behavior. Everyone feels that Does what I say make sense?"

What followed immediately was a jumble of responses, a little messy, but the meaning was basically expressed clearly. Everyone agrees with what Masamoto Matsumoto said on this matter. That is to say, I don't really care about this matter, and if I think about it calmly, I know that this matter is not worth going to war with Yamata no Orochi. After all, the current Yamata no Orochi is also the god of Japanese players. Isn't it child's play to overthrow this kind of existence? Although our Frost Rose Alliance has destroyed several groups of gods, how many guilds are the same as us? Therefore, words like destroying gods are not something that can be said randomly.

After everyone below confirmed that they agreed with Matsumoto Masaga's point of view, Matsumoto Masaga continued: "That's what I thought after I calmed down at first. I want Yamata no Orochi to apologize. Nothing else should be done. As for those rumors, we must put them to rest. I took it as a joke. But..." Masamoto Matsumoto deliberately used a very loud volume when he said this, and paused for a long time before continuing: "But after that, I But I received a message. No, to be precise, the message I received is not true, but it was obtained by August Xun, Ying Yu Shen Hina, and Blazing Dragon Princess." Matsumoto Masaru said that he deliberately retreated. While letting the three people come up.

In the end, August Xun was the only one who stood on the big rock. She also took out a magic loudspeaker, and then said: "As for the source of this news, it is the same as the previous news from Masamoto Matsumoto. I can't say anything more. Everyone knows that it is not news from formal channels. As for the specifics, I can't tell you how it came here, otherwise you won't want any more news in the future. So, now let's talk about the content of this news." After the following got used to the information in her words, August Xun continued: "According to the information we obtained, the video of Yamata no Orochi insulting our Japanese players was actually deliberately made and widely circulated."

As soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a bombshell in a calm pond, and the crowd below was in chaos again. However, after several previous experiences, the people below quickly understood themselves this time. He became quiet and waited for August Xun to continue.

Seeing that the people below were quiet, August Xun continued: "You can imagine it. It is assumed that Yamata no Orochi said that, but under normal circumstances who would record that kind of thing? Even if it was accidentally recorded. It was sent The reason can be explained in anger, but have you ever thought about it? Why did a video spread throughout Japan in less than half a day? Don't you think the news spread too fast? "

No one said it at first, but no one thought about it, but when August Xun brought it up, the people below immediately realized that something was wrong. Ordinarily, such a thing should not be transmitted so quickly. Although there are sometimes things like hot posts on the Internet, even the information that is pinned to the top on the homepage of mainstream media. Is it possible to cover the entire Japan without blind spots in an instant, and to the point where almost everyone knows about it? This speed is too scary even in the Internet era. Other people's hot posts won't get much response for three to five days, but this information has already been made known to the world in less than 24 hours. How fast is this?

After the people below had some clarity in the discussion, August Xun followed up and said: "I was just surprised at first, but after getting the information, I understood the real reason of the matter. It turned out that there was something in this matter. The driving force behind the scenes. It is precisely because some people want to make Yamato no Orochi stink. They hope that players all over Japan will fight against Yamata no Orochi. It is best to completely break with Yamata no Orochi. This would be the best. Therefore, these people not only let this news It spread, and it helped the spread of the news many times, so that the news that originally took three to five days to spread actually spread throughout the country in just half a day. This is the result of manual intervention."

"But who is so capable that he can spread information all over our country?" A Japanese player shouted and asked below.

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded at the person and said, "You've got the point right. The intelligence from August Kaoru and the others shows that the man behind the scenes is actually a Russian."

"Hey, is the news I heard before true?" The player with a loud voice shouted from below: "I seem to have heard before that the video of Yamata no Orochi was actually deliberately released by the Russians to cause discord. The relationship between us and Yamata no Orochi."

There is this person taking the lead. Immediately, many people below said they knew the news, and those who didn't know immediately asked people nearby. In this way, everyone below soon knew the news.

In fact, what the Japanese players below don't know is that the news they heard before was actually the news we asked Matsumoto to spread, just because of the rush of time. Therefore, the spread is not large yet, and not many people know about it. As for the player who asked the question in a loud voice just now... he was actually deliberately arranged by us. With him taking the lead, the rest of the information will be easy to explain.

After the discussion below became a little quieter, August Xun immediately began to continue: "The intelligence we obtained is very comprehensive. Not only did we know that this news was promoted by the Russians, but we also knew two other situations. In addition, we knew that the news was promoted by the Russians. One is that the Russians not only promoted the spread of this news, but also secretly arranged a team of players in Japan."

Masamoto Matsumoto took over what August Xun said and said: "What August Xun said is right. The Russians controlled some players in our country to form a temporary guild and organized these people. The orders these people received It is to attack Yamata no Orochi at a designated time and place, and then use their battle as a fire to lead us to follow. Have you ever thought about it? While everyone was getting excited about Yamata no Orochi's behavior, they suddenly found that someone started to attack Yamata no Orochi. The big snake launched an attack. At this time, I believe that most people will not recklessly follow it, but people are different. Although most people will not do this, there are always impulsive people. So Phew. These people carefully arranged by the Russians will lead a large group of impulsive people to besiege Yamata no Orochi. As these people join the battle, some undecided people will start to join the battle, and then the situation will become more and more serious. More and more people are attracted to this battle. Once the fighting starts, there will be heavy casualties, and as long as someone dies, everyone's emotions will be intensified. After that, the Russians only need to add fuel to the flames, and a battle will be aimed at Yamata no Orochi A full-scale war will inevitably occur. Have you ever thought about the consequences of a full-scale war between us and Yamata no Orochi?"

Following Masamoto Matsumoto's words, the discussion below became loud again. Many people exclaimed that the matter was serious, and some asked why the Russians did this.

Masamoto Matsumoto waited for these people to become quieter before saying: "In addition to the news that the Russians have prepared a trigger for war, we also know the full content of the Russians' plan. Although they conspired to instigate our civil war, in fact, the Russians The target is not us." This statement made the people below confused, but Matsumoto Masagi did not show off. After finishing speaking, he immediately explained: "The Russians' target is actually the Chinese. But they thought of provoking us. The civil war. This matter is actually very simple to say. The Chinese and we have basically become mortal enemies. Before, the entire territory of Japan was almost completely occupied by the Chinese. It was only after everyone's disdainful efforts that we finally managed to take it back. . However, the hatred and conflicts between us have not been resolved, but have intensified. Therefore, we will not let the Chinese go. And the Chinese will not let us go."

When Masamoto Matsumoto said this, many people below actually understood it, but Masamoto Matsumoto continued: "If there is a civil war in our country, it will inevitably be chaos, and the external defense will definitely drop significantly. And here Under such circumstances, our defense is weak, and the Chinese will definitely not miss such a good opportunity. They will definitely take advantage of our civil war to invade our country again in order to occupy our land again. Everyone should know. Once something like war breaks out, it is not so easy to contain it. People are all gambling. Once the Chinese people invest in this war, they will not withdraw easily, and we are defending our homeland, then We must not give in even an inch of ground. When the two sides fight, the Frost Rose Alliance will definitely be at the forefront, and then people from other large Chinese guilds will also run towards us. By then, all the Chinese people’s fighting power will be They have concentrated on our land and are involved in a melee with us. Even if they want to leave, they will not be able to evacuate for a while. At this time, the opportunity for the Russians comes. They have successfully invaded China once before. , and also penetrated into the hinterland of China. Although they were driven out in the end, at least they succeeded once. And last time it was because the Double Rose Alliance was at war with us, so the Russians had no time to care. The Russians easily They drove straight into the hinterland of China. After that, the Russians tried twice, but both failed. So they thought of their only successful experience and planned to artificially create a Sino-Japanese war to drag the Chinese people in. We Japan, so they can invade China."

Matsumoto Masaru finished speaking. The Japanese players below immediately began to scold the players on the Russian side for not being a thing or anything like that. It was chaos anyway.

After deliberately waiting for a while to let the people below vent their emotions, Matsumoto Masaru began to say again: "Okay, let's put this matter to rest for now. We will settle the accounts with the Russians later, let's talk about it now. Let’s talk about domestic affairs. As I said before, we have two pieces of news. One is that Yamata no Orochi insulted us Japanese players. The other thing is that we just went to Ghost Hand Nobunaga. You may know that not long ago, Zi The Japanese raid on Mount Fuji. Let me explain it to you here. In fact, the cause of this incident was that Nobunaga Nobunaga received a guild reward. He was able to let Yamato no Orochi help him transform a group of his own people into gods. .Although this protoss status has no effect on attributes, it can exert ten times the combat effectiveness when fighting other players. In other words, between an ordinary player and a protoss player, all the attributes of the protoss player are only ten times that of the ordinary player. One-tenth, but the combat effectiveness of the two people is actually the same. This is the use of divine power. Think about it, one-tenth of the attribute points can produce ten times the effect, how cost-effective it is?"

When the players below were imagining what it would be like if they got divine power, Matsumoto Masaru suddenly continued: "But. According to our confirmed news, the final plan was not completely completed. Under the guidance of Nobunaga Ghost Hands During the process of people being strengthened by Yamata no Orochi, Ziri took the Essinger Mobile Fortress of the Frost Rose Alliance and the gods of the Chaos and Order Protoss to Mount Fuji. Then they raided the strengthening site, which not only caused the formation of Mount Fuji. The reorganization of the area's terrain even buried all the people under Ghost Hand Nobunaga there. We got the news afterward that although players can also obtain divine power, the effect of this divine power is not lifelong, but like a An irreversible death buff, that is to say. As long as you die once, you will no longer be a god after resurrection. Of course, if conditions permit, you can get the effect of this divine power again, but this opportunity is very rare after all, and it is not easy to get it once. . The second time it would be simply delusional.

The reason why I want to tell you this is to tell you that the relationship between Yamata no Orochi and Ghost Hand Nobunaga is very good. Regarding this, I think it may be related to the decision we made before. In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Yamata no Orochi once hinted to us that he hopes to lead us to counterattack the Chinese mainland, but I rejected the proposal after much hesitation. On the contrary, Nobunaga-kun, the ghost hand, accepted this without hesitation. proposed and showed considerable enthusiasm. "

"Then why don't you agree?" a player asked.

"That's a good question. The reason for my refusal is actually very simple. It's because we can't do this kind of thing."

"What do you mean we can't do it?"

"To be honest, this proposal is very tempting. I refused it without even a word at first, because like everyone else I really want to lead everyone into Chinese territory and let the Chinese people have a taste of the feeling of having their territory occupied. But please Think about it calmly. Even with the cooperation of Yamata no Orochi, can we really occupy the Chinese city?" After a deliberate pause, Matsumoto Masamoto continued: "Everyone knows that once our country If a city within the territory is invaded by foreign players, the country's local gods can provide support to the guild city. You should still remember that Amaterasu also came out to help when the Chinese invaded our country. You You should still have an impression, right? Similarly, if we invade Chinese territory, China's heaven will also join the war.

What you may not know is that I have actually been making preparations for the invasion of China for a long time. It's not that I'm not interested in invading China, it's just that I learned the lessons from before. I hope that I can successfully occupy some Chinese territory, instead of just traveling to Chinese territory. I have been collecting relevant information and thinking about solutions to the problems and situations that may be encountered after the invasion of China. Among them is some information about the Chinese Heavenly Court. According to the information I have collected, China's Tianting may be one of the most powerful local gods in the world. According to my background research on the game "Zero", the most powerful local protoss in the world may be the protoss of the seven ancient civilizations. And China is not only one of them, but also the only ancient civilization that has continued through time. Therefore, you cannot understand the power of China's heaven. I can tell you this. If Yamata no Orochi does not have the support of the core of divine power, he can at most be ranked among the first-class masters in the Chinese Heavenly Court, and there are hundreds of existences of this level in the Chinese Heavenly Court. And even if Yamata no Orochi burned the power of faith in the core of his divine power, he could barely withstand the opponent's attack. To say that we can do anything to the Chinese Heavenly Court...that is simply a fantasy. "

"But if that's the case, why did Ghost-Handed Nobunaga and Yamata no Orochi invade China? Isn't it obvious that they are looking for trouble?"

"No, it's a trouble for us, but not for them." Masamoto Matsumoto said: "Yama no Orochi is not a player. Although there are many legends about him in our country, what you don't know is that I am collecting information about the Heavenly Court of China. When I was there, I accidentally discovered a piece of information about Yamata no Orochi. According to this information, Yamata no Orochi was actually a sacred bird in China. He was expelled from heaven to Japan. This news is a legend in reality. In fact, there are some, but the information is not complete, so not many of you should know about it. The reason I am telling you this news now is to tell you that although Yamata no Orochi's idea of ​​invading China is the same as ours, his purpose is the same as ours. We are completely different. Yamata no Orochi's real purpose is revenge, revenge against the Heavenly Court of China. He no longer cares about how much he invests. How many people die, he doesn't even care about his own life or death. What he wants is to let Heavenly Court not Fortunately, this is the belief of an avenger. Although it is worthy of recognition, it is not our wish! Are you trying your best to invade China just to rush in and be beaten out again? "

There was dead silence below. No one was discussing this time. Everyone was thinking, and Matsumoto Masako didn't speak, just waiting for them to think.

After a while, Masamoto Matsumoto interrupted their thinking. Then he said: "The purposes of Ghost-hand Nobunaga and Yamata no Orochi are not exactly the same. As you all know, my current status was given to me because of your trust in me, Matsumoto Masako. However, in Ghost-hand Nobunaga's view, , this is how I snatched the position of leader of Japanese players from him. Although I was sitting in this position before, and he also snatched it from me, at least now Nobunaga feels that I have snatched it away. This position. He wants to regain this position, and the first step to regain it is to accumulate reputation.

Previously, Nobunaga made a series of wrong decisions that caused great losses to Japan. This hit Nobunaga very hard, especially his reputation. Everyone accepts my leadership and gives up on Nobunaga. Is it not because of the bastard things that Nobunaga did?

Therefore, Nobunaga Ghost Hand hopes to save all this. He felt that since he had suffered a loss from the Chinese, he had to get it back from the Chinese. However, the Chinese have now been driven back to mainland China. Although Fulcrum City is still there, he does not have the ability to completely expel Fulcrum City, but Yamata no Orochi's decision gives him hope. Ghost Hand Nobunaga now feels that as long as he can lead everyone to invade China, no matter what the outcome is, even if everyone comes back, his reputation will definitely increase. In fact, things were pretty much what he thought. If we can really invade Chinese territory, even if we are driven back without even occupying the cone in the end, this matter is still worth being excited about. Therefore, if he really thinks like Ghost Hand Nobunaga, his reputation will definitely increase. However, both Nobunaga and Yamata no Orochi were satisfied with this invasion, but what about us? Invading China and being driven back is a good thing to say, but in terms of actual benefits, we gained nothing at all, and we had to sacrifice a lot of experience points, equipment, consumables, and combat NPCs. These are the strengths of a country, and losing them means a decline in national strength. The invasion of China that I long for is the kind of game where you break in, stand firm, and then push forward step by step, not the game of rushing in and retreating. Although we can get in now. But the price paid is a decline in national strength, and we may not have a second chance to invade. And what will you think at that time? "

Masamoto Matsumoto's words calmed down many people, and they realized the consequences of doing that. Then many people began to sigh. It turns out that the game is not as simple as imagined. There are so many unknown things hidden beneath the surface.

Just when everyone was lamenting this matter, Matsumoto Masamoto continued: "I have said so much to tell you that for the sake of his own reputation, Ghost Hand Nobunaga cannot offend Yamata no Orochi now, so this time I originally I brought someone to find him, hoping to use his relationship with Yamata no Orochi to persuade Yamata no Orochi not to attack Fulcrum City. However, he refused this proposal. Just for his reputation, he actually gambled with the future of our Japan. .”

"That's not right. Even if Yamata no Orochi destroys Fulcrum City, what does that have to do with the future of Japan?"

"I shouldn't have said anything about this originally, but now it seems that I have to say it. If our chance of Japan's rise disappears because of what I said today, I really don't know what to say. So. Even if There is little hope, but I still ask you to never spread a single word of what I said today, or video or audio. This is not for me personally, but for the future of our country as a whole. Get rid of it," Masamoto Matsumoto said. Here a deep bow was made to the crowd.

The crowd below expressed their assurances and expressed their absolute support for Matsumoto Masa. Then the crowd fell silent.

After the crowd calmed down, Masamoto Matsumoto continued: "Now that I have said that, let me tell you why I don't want Yamato no Orochi to attack Fulcrum City, and why I want to call everyone here. Let me tell you why first. I don’t want Yamata no Orochi to attack Fulcrum City. First of all, have you ever thought about it. Are the Frost Rose Alliance kind people? Ziri’s character has always been that if someone ignores him, he will tear off a piece of flesh from others. Yes. For this kind of person, if you offend him even slightly, he will definitely take revenge, and the consequences will be a hundred times more serious than what you inflicted on him. Fulcrum City was attacked, whether it was destroyed or not, do you think Will the Frost Rose Alliance pinch their noses and swallow this breath?"

The people below shook their heads in unison.

"So. The Frost Rose Alliance will not give up. And they have mobile equipment such as Essinger Mobile Fortress. In the previous Mount Fuji incident, it is said that many air battleships equipped with large weapons appeared. Frost with such maneuverability Rose Alliance, if you want to retaliate against us, it will definitely cause heavy damage to us. And I am currently planning a large-scale operation. This operation is a prelude to retaliation against the Russians. It is also one of the preparation steps for the invasion of China. , in order to prevent the other party from knowing the content of the action in advance, please forgive me that I cannot say more. However, no matter how I act, I will definitely need your assistance and your strength. And if the Chinese retaliate against us, it will inevitably affect our Strength will slow down my next action plan.

The Frost Rose Alliance is getting stronger day by day. The later my plan is implemented, the lower our chance of winning. Therefore, I cannot allow anything to delay my plan. Therefore, I don’t want Yamato no Orochi to attack Fulcrum City. I hope that we and the Chinese can maintain this state of no war in a short period of time. "

"Matsumoto-kun, we understand what you mean, but why do you want us to come here together? Even if you want to persuade Yamata no Orochi not to attack, can you just go? Why did you call us? Is it to force him to do it? Is Yamata no Orochi forcing him back? Isn’t this turning into a civil war again?”

"No, no, no, of course I don't want you to fight Yamata no Orochi. The reason why I called you here is because Yamata no Orochi actually attacked Fulcrum City because of you."

"Ah? For us?" A player asked: "We didn't let him attack Fulcrum City. What does it have to do with us if he attacks?"

August Xun suddenly stood up at this time and said: "Have you forgotten the video of Yamata no Orochi humiliating our Japanese players?"

After August Xun reminded the players below, they immediately reacted. Someone asked loudly: "Is Yamata no Orochi's attack on Fulcrum City an act of apology for that incident?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Come to the starting point (read.)
