Starting From Zero

Chapter 137 Reinforcements

Shura Ziyi's voice was a little nervous: "Another ghost bird just arrived!"

"Is he the messenger from the Dark Temple? What happened to the temple?"

"The Dark Temple has fallen! The Lost Lock troops dispatched from the Lost City have already turned against the troops that escaped from Essinger. They are organizing an attack to try to take the Dark Temple back!"

The thing I least wanted to hear happened. "Why did the Dark Temple fall so quickly? Didn't there still be a million garrison troops in Dark Canyon? What were they doing? Couldn't they stop 10 million enemy troops? Didn't the Mystery Lock troops also join the battle? Are you there? There are quite a few of them! There is no reason for them to be captured! And Arni, didn’t she go back to the temple? Could it be that she, a main god, can’t even deal with this enemy?”

"Al Ni is captured!" Shura Ziyi's words almost made me stumble!

"What did you just say? Arni was captured? Who told you?"

"News about the ghost bird that just arrived. The person who sent the letter is the Lord of the Lost City. I asked Vader to read the magic seal on the letter, and I have confirmed that it is indeed a letter from the Lost City and is not a forgery. of!"

I was so shocked! Al Ni was captured? Can she be captured? To be honest, I would rather believe that the Temple of Light is preparing to merge with the Temple of Darkness than that Al Ni will be captured! "What did the letter say? Is there any more detailed information?"

"The letter only said that we should provide support quickly, and that you should go to the Lost City to discuss with him as soon as possible!"

"I got it! I'll take care of it!"

"What about Essinger? How should I deal with it?"

"You tell Vader that the Dark Temple is under attack and ask him to defend Isengard. It is possible that the Dark Temple will move its capital!"

"Ah?" Shura Ziyi was startled. "She wants to live with us?"

"I hope I won't need it, but it's really hard to say. You tell Vader this first and ask him to strengthen the security. Essinger is now entering the second level of combat readiness. All working urban weapons are on standby for me. The way this Temple of Light uses troops is so weird!"

"OK!"

After cutting off the private chat, I immediately turned around and asked the ghost knight behind me. "Do you know where Domingue is?"

"The deputy commander is outside the city. He said it's too 'chaotic' inside. It would be easier for him to command outside!"

"Got it!" I explained a few words to Scott, "You are responsible for supervising and urging all these things to be evacuated as soon as possible. When it is completed, you all go into the dimensions, and let the big guys in the sky go in, too. Then you use telepathic contact to inform me and I will close the space door!"

"clear!"

After the explanation, I directly let the phantom teleport out with me. After two moves, I reached the outside of the city. I found Domingue's position and flew over. By the way, I summoned several protagonist leaders in the guild. "Tell you a very serious problem!"

"What happened?" Domingue looked at me in confusion!

"Isengard has just received urgent military information from the Lost City! The remaining 10 million troops of the Light Legion attacked the Dark Canyon and occupied a Dark Temple!"

"What?" Everyone shouted together. "This is impossible!"

"I know you all have doubts, but this is a fact. Vader has verified it and the letter is authentic. The Lord of the Lost City cannot make such a joke with me. The information is absolutely reliable!"

"But……!"

I raised my hand to stop Domingue from continuing. "There is also a more difficult problem! Our goddess who has been missing for a long time has also been captured and is now controlled by the light army in the dark temple! Fortunately, the 'mystical' force and the garrison of the dark temple have secured the entrance to the dark canyon. It’s blocked, the Army of Light is now trapped in the valley and can’t get out!”

"How could the Queen of the Temple of Goddess be captured?" Domingo still couldn't accept it for a while!

"I don't know the specific situation now, but one thing is for sure, that is, we must reinforce Dark Canyon immediately!"

"But there is no time! Even if our Dark Army does not need to rest and march all night, it will still take four or five days to return to the Dark Canyon! Not to mention that we have such heavy equipment, this action is really..."

I stopped Domingue again. "Push all the heavy equipment into the city. My space gate is in the temple. You go to Scott and push all the equipment into the space gate. I will be responsible for the transportation! Leave all the infantry to garrison Yunxiao City and repair the city facilities. Just Let's go to the cavalry and air force. With the undead warhorse's height, long legs, and relatively light weight, with an average speed of more than 140 kilometers, a 15-hour rapid attack should be enough time. It's only 2:43 in the afternoon, and we can reach darkness before the sun appears tomorrow morning We should be able to reach the canyon in time. Players can teleport directly there, don’t worry about it!”

"Okay then! We'll leave right now!"

The specific mobilization of the Dark Legion ultimately depends on Domingue for coordination. There is no use for me to stay. I have to leave first with the players from the guild! According to my instructions, Domingo reorganized the Dark Army. To be honest, most of the Dark Army were infantry composed of low-level skeletons and zombies, and there were very few cavalry and flying troops. Among the troops that actually set out in the end, there were only more than two million cavalry. The air force is not as good as the cavalry, only about 1.5 million, and there are many low-level monsters among them. The truly powerful big demon level boss does not exceed 5,000!

I quickly teleported to the Lost City with the players in the guild, and asked Ying to lead the team to gather outside the city. I took a few leaders and flew to find the city lord first!

The Lost Lock troops were almost deployed in full force, and there were not even two hairs left on the streets of the Lost City. After flying all the way to the entrance of the dark canyon, I discovered the Mystery Lock troops. A large group of dark troops occupied the entrance to the entire canyon. It seemed that the number of people should be no less than 100,000. It was really strange. How could there be so many people?

From afar, I saw the command post with the handsome flag, landing directly next to the tent with only a roof and no walls. Almost all the Mystic Lock troops knew me, and no one wanted to stop me when they saw me landing. The city lord, who was still wearing red armor, noticed me immediately and walked over immediately. Behind him was a female priest, the wife of the city lord I saw that day, but she was now wearing a black robe and had obviously changed her profession to a dark priest!

"You're finally here!" The city lord patted me on the shoulder.

"What's the situation like? You sent me a battle report to urge me here. What's the situation like? Also, why are there so many people here?"

The city lord walked back to the tent and sat down. "I also know that it didn't last long. At first, a group of about 500,000 troops attacked the Dark Temple. I didn't take it seriously at first! There are 9 million troops outside the Dark Temple. Dealing with 500,000 troops is no small matter."

"I received a battle report earlier. It was sent when 500,000 troops invaded, right?"

"It should be! But that letter was not sent by me, it was sent directly from the temple. I think it was just for safety reasons!" The city lord continued: "But soon after the first batch of troops attacked, I found that something was wrong. Those 500,000 are almost all the elite among the elite, and almost all the remaining high-level troops from the Temple of Light are here."

"Does that mean this is a trap?"

"I think so, but I don't understand why this happens at all!"

Su Mei suddenly interjected: "I think I can understand!"

The city lord and I immediately looked at Su Mei. "What do you think!"

Su Mei said seriously: "Our initial thoughts may have been a bit simplistic! The head coach of the Temple of Light had no intention of trading Yunxiao City for the Temple of Darkness from the beginning!"

"What should I say?" I think it's interesting!

"The Temple of Light is so arrogant. In their eyes, the Temple of Darkness is not as valuable as Yunxiao City! Do you have any doubt about this?" Seeing us all nodding, she continued: "Since the value of the Temple of Darkness is much lower than that of Yunxiao City in the eyes of the Temple of Light, , then this commander has absolutely no reason to change cities with us. He is just using a trick to surround Wei and rescue Zhao! Even if the 500,000 elite troops attack the Dark Temple, they will not be able to defeat it. However, the canyon is very narrow and the large corps cannot be deployed. 500,000 The troops are just enough to ensure the strength of the frontal attack. Their purpose is to 'force' the Dark Temple to send a signal for help so that we give up the siege!"

I objected: "Isn't it possible? That commander is too smart to use such old-fashioned tactics, and it's impossible for us to give up attacking Yunxiao City for reinforcements!"

Su Mei immediately took over the conversation. "So they set up double insurance!"

"Ah? What double insurance?"

"Al Ni got your scroll and hurriedly returned to the Dark Temple. If my guess is correct, that scroll is the traitor's message, right?"

I nodded: "Clever! That's the information sent by the traitor!"

"Actually, that's not the traitor's information at all! It's the double insurance for this war. I don't know why the other side's general arranged this plan, but I know one thing. That letter shouldn't have been given to you in the first place. The other party must have planned to let the scouts of the Dark Temple get that thing at the right time, but I don’t know why it got to you by accident. But it’s a pity that you didn’t find the problem and gave the scroll to Arni. In the end, although there were some mistakes in the plan of the Temple of Light, it still went according to the planned plan! The result was that Al Ni left Isinger and returned directly to the Temple of Darkness! Knowing this information, the other party can definitely deceive Al Ni out!"

"Why did they trick Arni into coming back? Now that she's back, won't the battle in the Temple of Light become more difficult?"

"This is the cleverness of the opponent! They only used 500,000 elites to attack the canyon. As a result, more than 9 million troops were left to guard the only way to the dark canyon. When Al Ni passed by here, he was immediately Caught! With the help of the sealing array and other things arranged in advance by the mages of the Temple of Light, and relying on the combined magic of hundreds of thousands of high-level mages, it is still possible to suppress a main god! So Al Ni was caught with almost no reaction. Got it!"

The city lord also nodded after hearing this: "Then can you guess what they did after that?"

Su Mei said: "If you guessed correctly, they should have brought the goddess to threaten the dark army to abandon the temple's defense. There were traitors in the temple, and now that the goddess is being held hostage, the consequences can be imagined! You have so many people here probably because the dark army in the valley was driven out and mixed with your troops, so there are so many people!"

Bang bang bang bang! The city lord applauded. "Genius! What a genius! It happened just as you guessed! The Dark Legion was afraid of hurting the Goddess Temple, so they were driven outside. There was no large-scale contact between the two sides, so almost all the 9 million troops guarding the canyon withdrew outside. Together with my 3 million Mystic troops, 100,000 troops have gathered here."

Su Mei nodded: "That's right! The other party wants to use Al Ni to attract attention! The Dark Legion can temporarily abandon the Dark Canyon. Anyway, after capturing Yunxiao City, they can go back and take the Canyon back, but the Dark Legion cannot take it. The life of the goddess is a joke. If Arni is captured, the Dark Legion must immediately give up the siege and return to the canyon! But they also made a miscalculation!"

"They can also miscalculate?" I was surprised that this magical commander of light also made mistakes sometimes!

"His mistake was to include the players! Humans are the most complex animals, and reasoning that takes humans for granted is the stupidest behavior!" Su Mei looked at me. "Brother Ziri, you suppressed a battle report, right? The other party is counting you as a good person! They think you will immediately bring the troops back to rescue Al Ni. It's a pity that you are a big bad guy, risking Al Ni's safety, suppressing We won't tell you the battle report until we capture all the cities! In addition, the other party's commander lacks understanding of our players' guild. It is impossible to sneak into the players with PC news. Besides, the organization of our guild is also a little strange. It's a bit strange, ordinary people can't get in at all, so the confidentiality work is very good! For these reasons, the other party does not know the existence of city-breaking cannons and sniper cannons. Although they know that the Dark Legion has tens of millions of troops, Yunxiao City It was so big that tens of millions of people couldn't rush in together. They thought the city wall could withstand it for two or three days. But they didn't expect that the city-breaking cannon took 3 minutes to clear the city wall, and Yunxiao City was captured in one morning! This is all caused by unstable factors caused by players!”

"Okay, the formal analysis is over! What should we do next?" I asked Su Mei: "The battle will end at 9 o'clock tomorrow night. At that time, the system will force each unit to maintain the current situation, which means that before 9 o'clock tomorrow night If we can’t get the temple back, the temple will no longer belong to the dark side! And the final game score will probably be based on this. If we lose the dark temple to the Army of Light, we will have points deducted!”

"The method is very simple, just ask Grandpa Wu and you will know!" The big brand of Sumei clothing actually didn't tell me directly!

General Wu said: "What Xiao Sumei said makes sense, and I really feel inferior. But I really know this solution! The method is very simple, and it has been used many times!"

"Can you tell me quickly? I really don't know!"

Su Mei said: "It's very simple! No matter how you think about it, we are strong, and much stronger. We will win the war! But why are we so passive? Because the enemy has an advantage, and that is Al Ni! Now Understand?"

I understood immediately! "As long as we send people to rescue Al Ni, the enemy will have no advantage and we will not suffer any losses in the war!"

"Children can be taught!" Su Mei said, shaking her head. "Oh!"

I put a small chestnut on Su Mei's head, and I didn't hesitate to knock it lightly. "Stop being an old man!"

Su Mei immediately looked at Rose with tears in her eyes. "Sister! Brother, he bullied me! He thought I was smarter than him and wanted to beat me stupid!"

"Hahahaha!" Su Mei's timely mischief immediately dispersed the heavy atmosphere.

I looked at the city lord and said, "I think the rescue plan will be launched immediately!" I turned around and asked General Wu, "With our current strength, how long do we need to allow for an attack to take back the temple?"

"If that temple doesn't have many defensive facilities, we can start attacking before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. We should be able to capture the temple before the end of time! But I heard you say that the defensive weapons of the Dark Temple are very powerful, because I don't know the specific power. Can’t accurately judge the situation!”

The city lord walked over with a black gem in his hand, "Hey! The Dark Army is not a fool! They brought out the control core when they came out. Now none of the temple's defense weapons can work. of."

I looked at the core and said, "That means that as long as we can rescue Arni before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, victory will be ours?" General Wu and the city lord nodded together. I continued: "But the commander of the Light Legion must have thought of the problems we can think of! They will definitely send many experts to guard them, so the people we send must have strong strength, and there must also be a leader who can We have to make some decisions on the spot. Who do you think is better to let go?" I looked around and found that everyone was looking at me. "What do you think I'm doing?...I can't do it! There must be a lot of experts in that kind of place. Even if 100 people like me go in, it won't be useful! We'd better pick some experts from the Mysterious Lock Army!"

Everyone is still staring at me. Su Mei said: "Who will go if you don't go? NPCs can't command such complex tasks. Although you are not as smart as me, you should have learned some of my true heritage after following me for so long!"

General Wu also said: "I think you are the better fighter in the guild, so you are the right one!"

The city lord also nodded and said: "You have a relatively high status, and Her Majesty the Goddess knows you. It will be easier to cooperate after meeting you. If I send others, it is possible that Her Majesty the Goddess will regard you as an enemy!"

Rose also came up and said, "Just go! I will take care of you here!" Dizzy! What are you talking about? It's like I'm going to the execution ground!

"Okay! I'll go, I'll go! But I can't just go in alone, right?"

The city lord said generously: "I will dispatch 3 level 1000 void guards from the Mystic Force to you!"

I raised my hand to interrupt him and said, "I'm not talking about the guards! The important thing this time is to infiltrate secretly. If we really fight, it won't matter how many people I bring. I should take the three void guards, but I still need other personnel." "

"Who do you need?"

I said: "As for NPCs, in addition to the three void guards, you can find me 50 more white souls!"

The city lord asked in surprise: "What do you want the white soul for? That thing is only level one, and the sword wind will blow it away if it gets stronger. What do you want it for?"

"Don't worry about it, just bring it!"

"Okay!" The city lord immediately went to give instructions. I said to the crowd following me again: "Gold coins! Come with me!"

"Ah? What should I do?"

I said angrily: "I'm not giving you the national weapon for decoration! I've seen a few problems recently! It seems that the light forces' ability to protect Chinese Taoism is quite bad, and ordinary Taoism is very lethal to them, so I guess it’s because Taoist magic restrains light magic. You are our national Taoist priest. Who else can I take with you?”

"Okay!" Jin Coin reluctantly agreed!

I said again: "There are two more people. I think they are very capable, but I didn't know that they were not willing to help!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"You don't know each other, but we just met! These two girls are very powerful in fighting and cooperation. Together they can tie me. I'll contact you myself. If I can recruit them, I should be able to help a lot! "

"Okay, let's go help you prepare things, and you can contact someone!" Rose said.

What I'm talking about is actually True Red and Shadow Spring last time. Although the two players are slightly inferior to NPCs in terms of strength, they have advantages that NPCs cannot match. To put it bluntly, NPC is artificial intelligence. The biggest disadvantage of artificial intelligence is that it has no creativity! In official Go games, no human player can beat artificial intelligence, but some players can win by making random moves. This is a manifestation of human creativity! Zhenhong and Yingquan are such people. Their attack methods are very strange and not at all regular. What NPCs fear most is that their opponents will make random moves. The more eccentric their swordsmanship is, the more suitable they are for dealing with NPCs!

I quickly opened a private chat to contact Hongchen Qiufeng. Fortunately, he was online! "Autumn wind! I am Ziri!"

"Boss! How can I help?"

"The Zhenhong and Yingquan you found last time, do you have their private chat passwords?" Players can set passwords for their private chats. Unless they are set as friends or are players in a guild, there is no password. If you use the password, you cannot connect to the other party’s private chat! Zhenhong and Yingquan just have this kind of private chat with a password, and I can't get in at all!

"I have it, please wait!" Hongchen Qiufeng quickly reported the password to me.

Use the connection password to finally access the private chat. "Zhen Hong? I am Ziri, the one who dueled with you a few days ago. Do you remember?"

"You finally took the initiative to contact us! That's great!" Zhenhong was surprisingly enthusiastic. "Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, a conference mode connection prompt popped up here. I confirmed that the private chat turned into a three-party conference, and Yingquan also joined in, and even the video was automatically enabled!

"Hello!" Yingquan is still so cold! "What do you want from us?"

"Are you two professional killers?"

"Yes!" Yingquan nodded in approval.

I continued: "As long as I pay for it, are you willing to do anything?"

"We don't sell our bodies!" Yingquan's words immediately made me notice my speech problem.

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing! What I meant is, besides assassination, can you also accept other tasks?"

Zhenhong said: "Basically, we accept them all. We are not picky about the work! But... our price is not low!"

Yingquan said: "Do you want to hire me?"

I nodded: "I'll hire you! You two decide on a place, and I'll teleport there to meet you."

Zhenhong said: "No, you just need to tell us the city near the location, and we will teleport there ourselves! Just come to the city to pick us up!"

"My situation here is a bit special. Just tell me where to meet you!" The teleportation array in the Lost City is only open to people with serious reputations. Others must have special access to the Lost City. They can only come here with a teleportation scroll. Zhenhong and the others are not like our guild, which has several teleportation scrolls from the Lost City. It is impossible for them to come directly. Only I can bring the scroll to them!

"Does Qilin Immortal Mountain know?" Yingquan asked.

"Is it a city? As long as there is a teleportation array!"

"It's a city, but it doesn't have a teleportation array! And the transportation is inconvenient. Can you come?" Yingquan said this, obviously mocking me for rushing to the big head even though I couldn't make it!

snort! You actually underestimated me! "Tell me the coordinates and I'll be there in 5 seconds!"

Yingquan held out the coordinates with disdain. "I want to see how on earth you stayed in 5 seconds..." She couldn't say the next words because I had already appeared in front of her! Depend on! When I sent the ring, it was fake!
