Starting From Zero

Chapter 87 Protection and Curse

Although this plan does seem perfect on the surface, there is a hidden problem, and that is the cost burden. A city's daily profits are considerable. If I use my method to end the battle, Samarinda will inevitably have to be delayed for more than a week before it can be put into use. However, our agreement at the beginning of the war did not include this part of the compensation issue, so the guild that bought the city is likely to object. If he disagrees with our opinions and declares that the peace treaty cannot be completed, the system will forcefully punish all parties to the agreement, and the loss will be even more serious.

In order to solve this problem, we mobilized the most powerful diplomatic force in our guild. Rose, Su Mei, and Xiaoyao, the three negotiators, talked with the president of the guild for more than four hours before finally solving the problem. The cost is that each guild still has to bear the cost of 1 million crystal coins. Fortunately, we have many people, so it won’t cost much if we divide it among the guilds.

After the agreement is reached, we will inform each guild of our plan, and then officially enter the reconstruction stage. The urban area has no reconstruction value, and all we need is the city wall. Compared with the city, the battleship is the main maintenance target this time. After all, it is the long-range strike provided by the battleship behind the city that kills the main force.

The day's construction work ended quickly, and the enemy began their final attack the next day. Vina estimated that the total number of enemies should be close to nine million, but in the end the enemies we saw were actually less than eight million. As for why there is such a big gap, we don’t know!

There are a large number of Warcraft among the enemies participating in this battle, but the number of regular troops seems to have not changed much. The difference from last time was that this time the enemy had many commanders, and their tactics were obviously much more normal. At least they didn't rush into our artillery defense line.

The enemy stopped outside the city and began to assemble in formation. After their assembly was completed, the team suddenly began to advance towards the city. However, when our artillery fire blocked the firing, a yellow protective layer appeared. All the cannonballs exploded on this barrier. As a result, none of our shells landed.

"How come the enemy has a protective shield?" I asked Ashford next to me.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

Ying said: "No matter how they got it, the problem now is how to make it ineffective. If this continues, they will all rush in. If eight million people enter the city, there will be no way to defend it!"

"Of course I know this. The problem is that our artillery shells can't penetrate the protective shield!"

"Maybe I can try." A huge voice appeared above our heads, and before I could answer, I saw Hongyan flying over our heads.

Although Hongyan is an undead dragon, at least he was a heroic dragon before, so the protective shield shouldn't be a big problem for him. With a bang, Hongyan suddenly hit the protective shield. What surprised us was that that one actually blocked the dragon. Hong Yan couldn't break through the defensive wall after trying several times.

"Let your tank try it!" Ashford said.

Of course, I immediately asked Tank to test his magic crystal cannon, but the result was still ineffective. The super shield ignored all attacks.

Ashford experimented with their new weapons after our failure, but the result was still the same. The satellite antenna-like weapon was completely unable to have any effect on this thing.

"Isn't it such an exaggeration? Completely ignoring any attacks? Isn't this kind of thing too perverted?" I looked at this thing with complete helplessness.

"How about going underground?" Hongyue suddenly gave me an idea.

"Underground? You can try this."

Let the Blazers test it, and he really got through. But there's no point in getting through, because we can't find the generator of this protective shield. Such a large area of ​​​​super protective shield must not be released by individual mages. It must have been produced by a cluster of mages or a super magical device. In the last battle, the enemy's mage army was under concentrated attack. The two million people who ran away had almost no mages. This time, the eight million people didn't seem to have many mages, and it seemed that they were all idle. This protective shield was absolutely Not supported by them. But except for the mage. There is nothing in this army that looks like a generator. These Indonesian troops do not bring any magic equipment to the battle. They are all biological creatures participating in the battle. The source of that thing cannot be found at all.

"Continuing this way is not an option! The enemy is coming to the edge of the city." Eagle reminded me.

Players from the next few guilds started to get into a fuss. Some guild presidents who participated in the defense began to ask what to do, and the military morale began to waver. Although we had no intention of saving this city from the beginning, the current situation is still a bit too unexpected. If we continue in this way, the enemy is likely to enter the city directly, which means that we may only be able to exchange this city for the loss of two million enemies, and the remaining enemies will still attack other cities. As long as this protective shield is not destroyed, the enemy can attack one city after another, and we will be unable to do anything to them.

I said angrily: "You guys think of a solution here first. I want to enter the enemy's protective shield from underground to find the generator. It's impossible for such a thing to appear out of thin air. There must be a device or some people maintaining it. .”

"It's too dangerous for you to do this."

I shook my head. "Actually, my idea is to use the last resort if I really can't find the generator and I can't stand it anymore."

"The last resort?" Ashford looked at me doubtfully.

Hong Yue explained: "Absolute Order, Zi Ri's last trick, uses it once to drop 100 levels."

"Such a serious side effect must be very powerful, right?"

Hongyue continued: "Everything within a radius of two kilometers will be destroyed. Players affected will immediately lose 10 levels and cannot be stopped at all."

"So powerful?"

I shook my head: "That's what it says in the properties. I don't know the specific situation. I haven't used it until now."

"If you use such a perverted ability a few times, you will become a novice village! How many level 100s do you have that are enough to use it like this?"

"This is all we can do for this defense. Anyway, everyone is trying their best. If it doesn't work, I can't do anything. It is much easier to lose level 100 than to have the enemy take back the city one by one."

"We can only pray for you!"

"There's no need to pray. You'd better be prepared to retreat! If I really blow myself up, this city wall will definitely be covered."

"Understood."

After the explanation, I jumped off the city wall. The pioneers had already opened a hole in the ground waiting for me, and I fell directly into the hole. After Rose Vine caught me, he took me behind the pioneer ground and got behind the enemy's protective shield.

The Blazer quickly passed through the enemy's protective shield and then suddenly jumped out of the ground. The rose vine followed and threw me out. I opened the Space Gate and Phoenix Dragon Space in the air. It was the final battle anyway. If I needed to use Absolute Order, my Demon Pet would also be downgraded. It would be more valuable to fight to death with me. In fact, calling everyone out has another purpose, which is to attract attention. It's easier for me to find the location of the generator after the enemy is in chaos.

My sudden appearance and my summoned creatures really startled the enemies. The number of sub-dragon cavalry and good cooperation are not something that everyone can easily defeat. In addition, those boss-level magic pets can definitely defeat those enemies. Been busy for a while.

The enemy fought with my magic pet, but I took the opportunity to fly up and scan the entire army with my eyes to find that damn generator. Emenes attached an Eye of Truth magic to me. With this thing, I can see through any disguise. As we guessed, there is indeed a generating device. A little to the left of the center of the army, where there was originally a group of soldiers, was actually an oversized transport vehicle. There were more than thirty mages standing on this flatbed trailer pulled by a large number of soldiers. They formed a fist and faced the large machine in the center.

This device made me very curious. Its base is a regular octagonal platform with a side length of ten meters. From the bottom to a vertical height of 1.5 meters, the platform suddenly begins to converge toward the center to form a flat top. No matter how you look at it, this thing looks a bit like an octagonal metal bun. There is a glass tube standing on the small platform at the top of the base. It is said that the glass tube is actually more like a pillar. This cylindrical glass column is about one and a half meters in diameter and more than three meters high. There seems to be some green liquid inside the column. From time to time there are some bubbles rising from the bottom of the column. There are a lot of red tubes on the base of the eight instrument, and some enemies obviously have a lot of crystals. It looks really dreamy, but unfortunately I don't have time to appreciate it now.

"Get that thing away." Almost at the same time I shouted, Plague and Luck had already pounced on the target at a very low altitude.

"Stop him!" The opponent's commander was not a fool either.

Luck and Plague are so fast that the opponent's commander is too slow to shout. Two giant dragons passed over the huge launcher at the same time. Plague hugged the launcher and flapped its wings and flew up, while Lucky stood on the car and sent a circle of dragon flames around.

Seeing that the soldiers could not stop the dragon, the opposing commander rushed forward himself. But as soon as he was halfway through, I stepped on him and knocked him to the ground. After throwing me out, the guy turned over and jumped up. He ignored me and continued to rush towards the plague.

A purple beam of light suddenly crossed in front of him, and the tank's magic crystal cannon successfully blocked his route. When he started to avoid it, the plague had already arrived next to the space door. After sending the thing deep into the space gate, the plague turned around and flew out again. The commander chased it and stopped next to the space gate.

"You despicable guy, give our stuff back."

The enemy's advance had been halted because the protective shield had suddenly disappeared. However, the artillery fire from our side did not start firing. Because we just found that it was ineffective, we asked the fleet not to waste the shells. Now that the protective shield suddenly disappeared, they have not received the order to fire again.

I ran to the space door and stood with my own summoned creature. The teams on both sides gradually separated and faced each other. "Haha, if you can, go in and get it." I made a gesture of invitation towards the space door.

This space door is actually connected to the realm of the Earth Goddess. Players who want to enter must get my permission. Of course, after getting permission, they can only enter. If you want to avoid being retaliated after entering, you need the consent of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. NPCs can enter and exit this space door at will without my consent. As long as the door is open, they can walk in. But under normal circumstances, NPCs will not go in. After all, the aura of the Earth Mother Goddess is too powerful. The average NPC There is no way to fight against this kind of aura. Even if those NPCs do not know the Earth Mother Goddess, the majesty displayed in the Earth Mother Goddess' aura is enough to intimidate these NPCs. Even a being like Vina, who is between high-level gods and low-level gods, dare not act without the permission of the Earth Mother Goddess. enter the space door.

"Don't think that I really don't dare to go in." The conductor started to bluff.

A representative who might be an Indonesian player ran out next to him. "Isn't it just a space door? Why don't you dare to enter?" As he said that, he ran through it like a door. Players cannot feel the aura of power.

I didn't expect him to be so brave. The saying that the ignorant are fearless is true at all. Since he is looking for death, I can't blame him. I came into contact with the space gate's blockade on the player, and the guy entered the space gate without any hindrance. After running a few meters in, the guy looked around and seemed to be fascinated by the beautiful scenery inside. The back garden of the Mother Earth is very beautiful. The guy directed the NPC outside: "Come in and help move this thing out. I can't lift it by myself. What are you afraid of? Do you think I am doing this..."

Before the guy finished speaking, he flew out with a burst of air. Two NPCs tried to catch him but were taken down together. The Earth Mother Goddess appeared almost suddenly at the door of the space gate. "Who is so bold as to enter my garden without permission?"

"Who are you?" The guy who was thrown out just now asked such a stupid question after getting up.

"Bold human being, is this god also something you can question?"

"Don't be too arrogant!"

That guy is still so reckless. But that's what I'd most like to see happen. Now that this guy has already stepped over the cliff with one foot, I might as well give him another push! Adding insult to injury is my favorite thing to do.

"Mother Goddess, this guy is very arrogant. He just said that your space is no big deal and he doesn't care at all. He also wants to call these people to come in together."

The Earth Mother Goddess was already very angry. I pushed like this to add fuel to the fire, and she immediately exploded. My army's entry into this area was recognized by her, and I completed the agreement after discussing with her, so she did not object to my people entering it. Strictly speaking, ancestor gods like her are very tolerant. They never care about anything. Even if I borrowed her garden and made a mess, she was not angry at all, and sometimes she would not refuse if I made some requests as long as they were not excessive. Basically, you can think of a god like them as a nice guy who accepts everything with a smile, but being a nice guy doesn't mean he has no temper. The Earth Mother doesn't mind others using her place, but she can't stand others ignoring her and not taking her seriously.

"You bold human being, since you are so uncivilized, I don't have to be merciful anymore!" As he said this, the Mother Goddess of the Earth didn't do anything, but a strange magic mark suddenly appeared on the guy's forehead.

The NPC leader suddenly said: "God's seal of protection?"

Ling smiled and said: "Idiot. Look more clearly. Is that a protective seal? The protective seal is used to protect and bless the land. He offended the Mother Goddess so much, and the Mother Goddess even gave him a protective seal. That's not a mental problem. ?"

What Ling said was easy to understand. The conductor quickly took a closer look at the guy's forehead, and suddenly he exclaimed: "Oh my God! God's curse seal!"

Generally speaking, God will not curse anyone, but not cursing does not mean that he will not curse. Being cursed by a god is a very troublesome thing. Weena was only cursed by a group of lower gods and was locked in the underground cage of the Duling for n thousand years before I dug her out. You can imagine how unlucky this guy would be if he was cursed by a higher god.

The Earth Mother Goddess is theoretically regarded as the Goddess of Justice. Xiaochun was very enthusiastic towards her. She leaned over and asked, "Mother Goddess. I have never seen this advanced curse seal before. What effect does it have?"

Mother Earth Goddess said: "I just turned part of his status into a negative number."

"Negative number?" We don't know what the effect of turning this into a negative number is.

The guy actually started shouting again. "Stop being alarmist. I don't feel anything, and my attributes haven't changed. Do you just want to scare me by drawing a broken circle on my head? You..." He was about to move forward, but in the end I stumbled over a rock and chewed a mouthful of mud.

Ling said from the side: "It seems that the negative luck value has worked!"

"What kind of bad luck!" The guy spit out the mud in his mouth and stood up and started again: "I just accidentally fell down. This is not at all... ah!"

As he was talking, suddenly a large piece of bird poop flew into his mouth accurately, and he immediately began to vomit there.

I said to Ling next to me: "I thought the infinite luck of good luck and good fortune was already very powerful, but it seems that the negative infinity of luck is also terrifying!"

The guy was vomiting and said: "I'm telling you... I'm just... just... ah!"

The guy suddenly screamed and jumped up in the middle of the sentence. The reason was that there was an arrow in his butt. One of their players from the back immediately ran over and apologized: "I'm sorry, boss. I don't know what happened but my crossbow suddenly misfired. I'm really sorry. Are you okay?"

The guy was kicking his butt and howling and cursing: "Try inserting an arrow in your butt! Oh wow!"

The NPC officer behind suddenly said: "You can't do this. You need to treat him quickly. Witch doctor, treat him."

A guy in strange clothes ran out from behind. The guy looked at it and said, "No, this arrow is poisonous. You need to pull it out first."

"Ah?" The guy's face turned green upon hearing this. "No, I would rather 'commit suicide' than do anything!"

"No, now is the time when you need combat power. Just ask the witch doctor to help you treat it." The commander immediately decided to pull out the arrow.

The NPCs didn't think there was any problem, but that guy was miserable. The head of the crossbow is barbed. When you pull it out, it will naturally get stuck in the guy's rectum. Then the NPCs on both sides are desperately tug-of-war there. You can imagine how the guy's butt in the middle feels. All we heard was that guy's voice didn't sound like a human voice at all. It must have hurt a lot!

Suddenly, the NPCs on both sides separated, the arrows were pulled away, and all the NPCs fell out due to excessive force. The moment the arrow broke away, the guy's scream almost broke the human scream record. The sound could be said to be a demonic sound that pierced the ears. Seeing his appearance, everyone around him moved their waists in unison, as if their buttocks were beginning to hurt. Players from all over the world who saw this scene on the wall behind almost died from laughter. Since then, a video titled "The Most Painful Moment" has been circulated on the Internet. The moment the guy was pulled out of the arrow became a joke among people all over the world. Later, when people on the Internet are joking, they will play this video to each other, and then say to each other: "I will do this to you if we argue again." Then people on both sides laugh together.

The funny witch doctor immediately took a gauze ball as big as an adult's fist after pulling out the arrow, and stuffed it into the guy's butt. As a result, there was another scream like a slaughtering pig, and the person next to him screamed. People almost laughed and passed away.

After the witch doctor finished, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can continue fighting."

The player who accidentally 'shot' the arrow supported the guy and asked, "Boss, are you okay?"

The guy looked at the player with an expression of extreme pain: "You push up first, I'm going to get off first." After saying that, he disappeared.

The unfortunate guy is gone. The wise eyes of the Earth Mother Goddess suddenly glanced at the NPC commander. "What did you say?"

The commander was so frightened that he took a few steps back: "This...?"

"Stop this and that." Mother Earth Goddess said very simply: "Today you dare to offend the divine power. Ordinarily I should make you all disappear, but since you didn't mean it, I won't care so much."

Hearing this, the commander wiped his sweat and said, "Thank you, Mother Earth, for your tolerance."

The Earth Mother Goddess immediately said: "Although I can spare you from going to pieces, I have not said that I will not pursue the case. Since you are trying to enter my garden, then come be my guard."

"Ah?" The guard did not expect this request.

The Earth Mother turned around and waved to me, and I immediately walked over. "What's up?"

"Squat down." Although the Earth Mother Goddess is a superior god, she looks like a 10-year-old girl. If I don't squat down, she will be too tall.

After I squatted down, she asked me to take off my helmet. After I took it off, she slapped me on the forehead and knocked me over. "You committed murder?"

Ling quickly handed me a mirror, and when I saw it, there was a small golden magic seal on my forehead. The Earth Mother Goddess said: "This is an effective protective seal. Within 10 hours, your level will be doubled. It will disappear automatically when the time is over. The individuals among these guys killed by you in this battle will be replaced by their souls." I summoned you in the form of a garden guard. Well, I won’t disturb you anymore in your fight. Goodbye.”

The Earth Mother Goddess suddenly disappeared, and even the space door was closed. "Holy shit! Don't close the door!"

The space door suddenly opened again, and the Earth Mother Goddess stood at the door: "Sorry, I'm used to it. This time it won't count against your three-time limit today. Okay, goodbye." This time she disappeared without closing the door.

After the Earth Mother Goddess disappeared, the other guard and I reacted at the same time. "Kill them," the commander shouted.

"Fleet fire." I shouted and turned around and ran with the summoned creature.

A guy with level 1000 actually hugged me. When I saw the level displayed, I thought I was finished. What is the chance of surviving being hugged by a level 1000 boss at such a close distance? But the misfortune I imagined did not happen. That guy actually just hugged me and it was over.

A cute creature with purple electric light all over its body appeared next to me. From my own status display, I can tell that this is my demon pet dart, but why did the dart become like this? By the way, just now the Earth Mother Goddess said that she could strengthen my level to twice the level? Ordinarily, level 1000 should be the player level, and if doubled, it would be level 00! The ability to evolve passive attributes during the last Essinger Guard War seemed to have allowed me to temporarily surpass level 1000. Could it be said that this doubling has strengthened the levels of me and all my summons to the effect of doubling the levels? That means that the dart has surpassed its own level and become a level 1400 super monster? If that's the case, it's not surprising that the darts beat this 1000-level guy. It's really easy to beat a guy who's 400 levels lower than you.

The same situation as when I was in the demon world happened again around me, and this time it was even more terrible. When we were in the demon world, our enhancement was not for all of us. Xiaochun and the other angels have not been strengthened, but this time, even my little bug was strengthened. Moreover, the intensity of the enhancement in the Demon Realm was obviously not as powerful as this time. Those giant dragons in our area have completely turned into real giant dragons, which are completely like four mountains. The little dragon girl is now coiling her body in the sky, with a length of about ten kilometers and a diameter thicker than an eight-lane mountain tunnel. She has really turned into a dragon god!

I quickly opened the properties and took a look, Oh my God! All of my men have reached twice their level. But all levels have a bracket that says: "There are 598 minutes and 43 seconds left until the seal effect ends." The time displayed is counting down continuously, and it seems that it will disappear as soon as the time is reached.

At present, Xiao Longnu and other level 1000 bosses have all temporarily changed to level 00, so they all exploded.

The tank's level has reached level 1000 after eating Tianzhao's clone. Now it has been strengthened by the effect of the protective seal and turned into a level 00 super monster. Not only does it look like a mobile fortress, the launcher on its back has turned into a three-tube of. The red thorns on the other side turned into three tails. Arcs of electricity flashed across each one.

Everyone was shocked by their own changes. I quickly shouted to them: "Hurry up and kill these guys while the protective seal is still available. This thing has a time limit!"

My demon pets reacted immediately upon hearing this. "Kill!"

The Demon Pets resumed fighting. I quickly used the war channel to notify Ashford and the others in the city. "Now you listen to me, don't speak, wait for me to finish. Those people just provoked the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the Mother Goddess of the Earth added a protective seal to me as a punishment for them. Because of this thing, both me and my magic pet are now It has become twice as high as the grade.”

"What...?" Ashford yelled, but was immediately muffled.

"My current level shows level 00, but there is a countdown behind it. Although we cannot deal with 8 million enemies even if we are strengthened to this level, we can hold them back. I will try to kill them as much as possible before the end of the effective effect. You are optimistic As for the city, just destroy the ones I missed. I think we don’t have to give up Samarinda. I should be able to hold it in my current state."

"I understand, just kill as many as you can! We will take care of those who are missed."

Eagle quickly ended the communication and ordered everyone to be on guard, while I officially led my men to fight with the enemy. Now even my sub-dragon cavalry has become a level 1,000 boss, and since I have become a level 2,000 boss, the number of sub-dragon cavalry has become 20,000. With a legion of 20,000 level 1000 cavalry, plus those super-perverted magic pets, the 8 million enemies passing through our place will be reduced by at least half. I hope that after all of my troops are killed, they can deal with the remaining 4 million.
