Starting From Zero

Chapter 51 Enemies and Old Friends

I interrupted Sun Yan. "Don't, don't do this, you've gone too far."

"Ah?" Sun Yan and Lin Yue looked at me at the same time.

Rose explained: "Enemies may not be eternal, and friends may not be eternal."

Lin Yue blinked her cute big eyes and asked, "The more I listen, the more confused I become! Can you put it simply?"

"To put it simply, it is profit. There are not many factors to interfere here, and everyone's performance is relatively... relatively...!"

"Real!" I added for Rose.

"Yes, it's true. But it will be different when you leave here. There will be conflicts among the Chinese people. We all agree on external issues, but not necessarily when it comes to our own interests. So we must try our best to bring out beneficial people."

"For example?" Sun Yan seemed to be more straightforward, but he was not stupid and he understood everything at once.

"Are there some in your group who are usually inactive in fighting, or who always like to cause trouble? We cannot accept either extreme."

Sun Yan immediately pointed at Lin Yue: "She is the one who loves to cause trouble most, and everyone else is led by her. However, there are many people who are not active in doing things."

"Yes. These are the people who must not be taken out. If they are taken out, they will become traitors in the future, or simply spies."

"What about the enemy you are talking about?" Sun Yan continued to ask.

"There are also enemies who can be used. Think carefully about whether there are people who like to break up fights, or people who speak fairly and unbiasedly. These can all be used."

After Rose finished speaking, I added: "Be careful, it's best to only look for French and Americans. Such people are more valuable."

"I generally understand. Then I will go and meet a few of those people individually." Sun Yan said and ran out.

Lin Yue said to us: "What should we do with these people?"

"Pick out the more reliable ones among them, but don't distinguish between camps, just pick out their character." Rose said.

"Choose character?" Lin Yue couldn't understand what Rose meant at all.

I added: "Don't ask, just pick them quickly. There is no need to limit the number. It is not a problem to take them all away, but the ones with problems must be eliminated."

"Okay!" Lin Yue went to select personnel with questions.

The scene suddenly became a bit chaotic, and everyone wanted to leave, but Lin Yue suddenly said that he would only take some people away, and everyone immediately objected. It seems that Lin Yue's power is not enough to suppress the public anger, and a riot is about to happen. At this time, I have to suppress it.

"Everyone, please be quiet." My voice was very effective. After all, I was here to pick people up. No matter how you offended me, you would definitely be out of luck. Seeing that the scene became quiet, I began to speak slowly: "I can understand everyone's desire to leave here. I was once trapped in a mission for two months, and I couldn't see anyone during that time. , it feels really bad, so I can understand everyone’s mood.”

My words relieved everyone's mood a lot. It seems that my ability is not only effective on NPCs.

"Ordinarily, I should take everyone away. It's just a convenience anyway." Fenglong's special office space can accommodate players, of course, provided that the other party agrees to be installed. Normally I can take everyone away, but I can't take everyone away now, so I can't tell the truth to them. No one will know the actual situation anyway.

"But...!" This but made everyone prick up their ears.

"I originally planned to pick up Lin Yue this time, but I didn't expect that there would be so many of you. When we came, we used a small boat that could not hold so many people. Therefore, we had to select some people to come out. Others can only wait until which guild organizes manpower to rescue them next time."

"This isn't fair!" someone shouted from below.

"We are players. We are here to pick up Lin Yue this time. Isn't it fair or unfair? Another thing to note is that even if you are lucky enough to be selected, it does not mean that we will take you away for free. We are not volunteers. , I am also obliged to take anyone away every day, so those who want to leave have to pay. Considering your situation, I don’t have to be picky about the form of remuneration, whether it is cash or treasure, or joining my guild to work. In short, as long as I If you think it is valuable, you can use it as reward, even if it is a practical skill that can be widely learned. Okay, now everyone keeps quiet. From Lin Yuelai, those who are selected please wait over there, and those who are not selected will be Leave on your own!" I nodded to Lin Yue, and she began to select people.

There were a few "sexual" people in the venue who stood up and left before Lin Yuexuan could wait. One of them, a cool guy with blond hair, said provocatively when he passed by me: "Besides you, there is no way we can leave." , I don’t have to choose like an animal for you!”

The few people who came behind also snorted at me and left. Of course I was indifferent. How could I get so angry over such a small situation? Except for those few people, most of the people in the venue stayed and waited for selection. After all, no one was willing to give up the opportunity to leave. I took Rose and stood in a corner of the small square waiting for the results.

Lin Yue quickly completed the selection work. Those who were chosen were naturally overjoyed, while those who were not chosen were in a variety of ways. Some people left peacefully, some left cursing, some made a fuss, and some wanted to argue with us. There are all kinds of things in the world! But in the end, those people left, and Sun Yan came back with a large group of people.

Lin Yue's standards seemed to be quite high. Only sixty-two were selected from more than a thousand people, and half of them were Chinese. Sun Yan brought back a total of 8 people, which was not too many. I gathered everyone in the middle of the venue and said, "Okay, here are all the people who want to leave together."

Lin Yue interrupted: "Wait, he hasn't chosen yet."

Sun Yan looked at Lin Yue pointing at him in surprise but quickly smiled and said: "Xiaoyue, stop making trouble."

Seeing that Lin Yue was still arguing, I said directly: "Stop being naughty, you two have been flirting for so long and I don't know what your relationship is?"

Lin Yue immediately blushed and said, "It's not what you think!"

"Okay, okay, if you don't want me to talk, don't interrupt." After suppressing Lin Yue, I continued to say to everyone: "Now let me introduce you formally, my name is Ziri, I am from China, and the ship coming this time It is indeed a bit small, but since I can pick you out, I can definitely take you with me. Now let’s talk about the remuneration issue. If any of you want to join our guild, you can take him away for free, but I have a word first, don’t think about anything. Now I promise to withdraw from the meeting later. The Chinese describe the dangerous place as Longtanhu's lair. This is Dragon Island, which can also be regarded as Longtanhu's lair. The degree of danger is definitely not low. Since I have come in, you should Understand my strength. If anyone attempts to defraud and get away with it, I guarantee that I will kill him until his account is automatically deleted." I lit up the star pupil and opened the properties of the star pupil to display as shared. "Have you seen the properties of this ring? No matter where you go, I can know your precise coordinates at any time, so hiding is useless. If you want to join now, just sign up, I will collect them, if you don't want to join Don’t force it, otherwise it will be even worse.”

In the end, just 50 people signed up, 26 of whom were Chinese. Counting Lin Yue and Sun Yan, our guild suddenly had 52 more dragons. What a bargain! Among the remaining 12 people, there are two Chinese people who want to pay crystal coins. My offer is 1,000 crystal coins per person. Both of them seemed to be very wealthy, so they agreed happily. The rest of the people paid in various ways, especially a German girl. She actually gave me a piece of red-striped magic crystal. It was said that it came from an old man from the Dragon Clan. She really dared to do it.

After everyone was selected, I briefly told them that I needed to get the other two first. They were very eager to finish it quickly, so I had to take them out of the dragon gathering area. The great elder was already outside. Waiting for us. When he saw us coming out, he immediately came to greet us. "You are finally out." He took out a big key from his body, which seemed to be the Dragon Island key I took when I came here. "This is the key you got when you came here. If you want to leave here, you must take this with you. You can use it as a reference to avoid stealing it by mistake."

"Don't worry." I took the key and put it away.

Ziyue was pardoned by the Dragon King and released from the mission in advance. When she appeared there, Sun Yan behind him was immediately dumbfounded. "Are you triplets?"

"Ah? What triplets?" Ziyue didn't know what Lin Yue was joking at the beginning, so she didn't understand what was going on.

Rose smiled and explained to Sun Yan: "They are twins. Ziri and them are not related. You have been fooled by the little girl."

Everyone was chatting and laughing when they arrived at the dragon clan's barrier seal. All the dragon people were very excited. It was the first time since entering the game that their main player left the center area, and it was impossible not to be excited. After everyone stood in the startup area, I inserted the key into the golden door. There was nothing fancy this time. A golden magic circle flashed on the ground and we were already outside the door.

"Finally out!"

"Free!"

"Liberated!"

The first thing everyone said when they came out was the same, always thanking God for leaving that prison-like place. After they all calmed down, I said: "Okay, okay, let's leave here quickly after sighing. We only need to get two keys to go back and do business, and then we can leave Dragon Island."

As soon as we heard that we were leaving Dragon Island, everyone immediately became serious. I first took everyone to East Guard City. Wentian seemed very excited when he saw me. I briefly told him the general situation and introduced these dragons to him. We all got to know each other for a while and discussed how to steal the key. Our decision was to divide our forces.

The mission is to steal keys, not to destroy the army. In this regard, the fewer people we have, the better we can do things, so we can improve efficiency by being separated. The specific battle plan is that the dragons will be responsible for the orcs. The dragons cooperated with Wentian's troops to attack the orcs, and sisters Ziyue and Linyue took the opportunity to steal the key. I am solely responsible for the undead side, while Rose remains as the liaison officer responsible for coordinating tasks.

The task was carried out much faster. I was sent to the Western Acropolis by Wentian, where all the undead army was. The guild leader of the Western Acropolis is a Frenchman, who is relatively easy to talk to. Anyway, he doesn't need his cooperation, it's just a way to borrow a way. After Wentian sent me out of the city gate, he turned around and went back. I infiltrated the undead army alone.

Although there are many troops on the undead side, most of them are zombies and skeletons, and unlike Essinger's skeletons with independent souls, the undead creatures here are basically the walking dead commanded by the necromancer, and they have no intelligence at all. I put down the visor of my helmet, folded my wings, unfolded my cloak, and used my dark aura to move through the army. No undead noticed me. It seems that evil attributes are not a bad thing. At least I can walk through the undead army without being actively attacked. The undead around me basically regarded me as one of them.

I didn't dare to be so blatant when I passed through the army in front and reached the rear. Although the aura of death can 'confuse' the undead, the undead creatures behind the formation are all undead creatures with advanced intelligence. They are not easy to fool. But I have a phantom cloak, so no one notices me after becoming invisible.

Finally, I reached the rear of the army. There was a large stretch of tents here. I moved directly towards the largest one. That key is so important, it must be in the hands of the leader, and the big tent is the place where the leader is most likely to appear.

After carefully approaching the tent, I looked inside from the door. A large group of necromancers and several high-level dark creatures gathered there and seemed to be studying something. Those necromancers are real necromancers, not the kind of necromancers among humans. Some human mages are called necromancers because they can manipulate low-level undead such as skeletons and zombies. In fact, they are not very powerful. But these are the real necromancers in front of me, they are the mages among the undead. He is an undead himself and has powerful magical power. His combat power is definitely not comparable to those of fake necromancers. Apart from the Necromancers, the most numerous people here are the Undead Knights, and the central creature who commands them seems to be a big demon.

"Who is it?" The sudden voice startled me, and I thought I had been discovered.

As a result, a necromancer stumbled past me. "It's me! It's me."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The big devil came out from behind the table. "Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the Dragon Clan's gate? Why did you come back?"

"I'm just here to report this matter. Our eyes and ears discovered that an unidentified person had just brought a group of dragon members to the outside through the Dragon Sealing Mark."

"How is that possible? Members of the Dragon Clan cannot cross the seal without the help of the key. The key of the Dragon Clan is to maintain the balance of the barrier and will not be used to send people out. Did someone send the second key in?" The big devil thought. one time. "Are you lazy? You don't even know someone has entered?"

"No!" This necromancer's words obviously lacked confidence, and he was lying at first glance.

"Don't explain, things are already like this, and we can't turn back time. The top priority now is to determine how many dragons there are and what they want to do."

"There are no more than 80 of them. We don't know exactly what they are going to do." The Necromancer replied.

"Okay, you go back and guard the exit! If there are any dragons coming in or out again, please notify me immediately."

"Yes." The Necromancer saluted quickly and then turned around and ran away.

After the necromancer left, the remaining necromancers looked at each other, and then began to talk among themselves. The big devil waved his hand and said: "Everyone be quiet. No matter where the dragons get help from or what they want to do, we just need to complete our mission."

An undead knight said: "But the four checkpoint cities are unbreakable. We have been attacking continuously for half a year, and we still have no results. Continuing the attack like this is not an option!"

"yes!"

"grown ups……"

"This won't work!"

The scene became chaotic again.

The big devil stopped him again: "Quiet. I know that everyone is unhappy that the war has reached a stalemate, am I just happy?"

"Then what do we do?"

"Use strategies." The big demon is a high-level creature with high intelligence. "Can you think of any other loopholes or conditional technologies that can be exploited?"

"I think it would be better for us to join forces with the orcs to attack an acropolis and concentrate our superior strength in one go. What do you think of this approach?"

As soon as the necromancer finished speaking, he was rejected by the necromancer next to him. "If you had proposed it a few months ago, it would have been fine. Now the opponent already has a teleportation array and has signed some kind of defensive alliance agreement. If any city is attacked, reinforcements will be sent to the other three cities immediately. We can mobilize troops faster. Them?"

"Then you can't just do nothing?"

"How about we ask for instructions from the higher ups and see if we can mobilize some high-level troops to help?"

"It's not easy at the top either. Last time, that nine-tailed fox chewed up the God War information. Sir, he was worried for a long time. Thanks to that guy named Ziri, he got the copy back later. But now our temple and the Temple of Light are evenly matched. , there is no one above who can be transferred.”

The big devil's words made me confused, and I felt as if something about me was mentioned. They also talk about the nine-tailed fox that chews books, doesn’t that mean Yue Ran? They call the Dark Temple "Shanghai", and they themselves are undead. So these are all subordinates of the European Dark Temple? I'm afraid it might not work if I build relationships with them. The European Dark Temple is not as easy to fool as the Asian Dark Temple. They are deeply rooted and powerful and difficult to win over. I'm afraid it won't work if I want to build relationships with them.

"How about we try to teleport the key there, and then let the observation posts sent there in advance use the key to strengthen the seal and completely eliminate the dragon clan?"

"No." The big devil refused.

The necromancer who made the suggestion was knocked hard by the companion next to him. "Don't come up with bad ideas. It will take 24 hours to strengthen the seal. You can't be disturbed during this period. Then you can't hold on for 24 minutes, right?"

"Aren't I trying to find a way?"

"Okay, okay." The big devil finally said: "I have an idea, but it's just a little troublesome. Let's come up with a feint attack plan to lure the enemy. We also want to join forces with the orcs to attack as he said, but only mobilize low-level soldiers to The high-level troops are gathered together as actual troops. Once the opponent is assembled, we will start the real attack. These elites should be able to break in quickly. As long as the teleportation array is destroyed, the opponent cannot gather quickly. It should be possible for the elite troops in the past to carry keys to strengthen the seal."

"The method is good." An undead knight nodded. "And the chances of success are great, but is it too risky?"

A necromancer next to him also said: "Yes! Lord Commander! Is this a last-ditch battle? If we fail, we will never have a chance again. Even if the key is not snatched away by them, our elite troops have suffered too much loss and will not be able to fight again." Let’s fight!”

"It's neither this nor that. What are you going to do?" The big devil slapped the table: "Forget it, let's ask for support from above!" The big devil left the tent angrily, and when he passed by me, he said: He also muttered: "This bastard commander is really depressed! If you don't give me reinforcements this time, I will resign!" As he said this, he took out a big key from his body. "It's all caused by this piece of shit like you. I really want to smash you!"

My eyes lit up. Isn't that the key to Dragon Island in his hand? I quickly followed him, this was a God-given opportunity! Now that he was the only demon, it was a good opportunity to strike. But I don't know how to deal with a boss of this level. If I can't kill him, I'll call him. I won't tell you whether you can get the key or not, so don't let me in.

After thinking about it, I decided to follow him for a while. It seemed that he was walking towards the back of the military camp. There were fewer people there, so it was safer for me to start. The most annoying thing is that the Ring Knight cannot be summoned temporarily. Otherwise, if we pull them up, there should be no problem with 21 people dealing with one, right? I look at the time. Huh? Has it been so long? So I can summon the Ring Knight. I didn’t expect that it would take so long to recruit people, but this has provided me with convenience now.

As expected, the big devil was leaving the military camp. I first summoned Emenes to create an illusion, and then summoned the Ring Knight to become invisible together. Now I could move with confidence. 21 Ring Knights, plus Amynis and I, followed him and left the military camp until the camp was no longer visible in the back mountain. I was finally sure that I could take action.

Waving forward, Scott immediately rushed forward with the Ring Knight.
