Chapter 1 Evidence of the Holy Alliance

At this time, there was still a steady stream of cavalry rushing out of the huge grassland where no one could be found, and the broadcasts from the sky did not stop. There were several huge balloons suspended in front of us, with banners hanging underneath them. I looked at it and it said something indicating the path. The banner in the middle said: "Air Cavalry, please turn back." The banner on the left said: "Personnel above level 800, turn left." The banner on the right said: "Personnel below level 800, please turn left." Turn right."

According to the written instructions, the new cavalry immediately began to separate on three sides. But the strange thing is that there are still some people walking forward, and they don't seem to care about the words above their heads. After taking a closer look, I realized that the people moving forward were all teams composed of players from my own guild. I immediately took Ashford and the others into the crowd of my guild. After we advanced for a while, we found a large gathering point. There were at least a million people gathering here. The team was so huge that we couldn't even see the edge. After careful confirmation, this million-cavalry phalanx is a super team composed entirely of NPCs and guild players, and it seems to be growing continuously.

There are eight cavalry formations on the left and right sides of the guild's cavalry square formation, almost all of which are about the same size. In other words, there are almost tens of millions of cavalry gathered here. What on earth are such a terrifying number going to do?

"Huh? President? Are you back?" A member suddenly grabbed me.

"What happened? What are you doing?"

"What a big deal!" The player pointed to the front and said, "I still have a mission, and I can't explain it now. You'd better go to the front and ask Vice President Hongyue!"

"Oh, then get busy first!"

After the member left, he immediately shouted for the cavalry to quickly form a team. Behind him, there were a large number of players leading teams of cavalry to gather crazily towards the team. Ashford pulled me and said, "Let's go to the front quickly?"

"Oh well."

Ashford dispersed all the cavalry he led and asked them to join the cavalry team as instructed. He himself followed me to the senior officer area in front. The backbone of Hongyue and our guild are all here, and there are quite a lot of people. But what surprised me the most was that it wasn’t just the players in my guild. I actually saw Vina and Vida, and even Noreen appeared here.

"What happened?" I nervously walked into the crowd and asked.

Ziyue jumped on me. "elder brother."

"Ouch! Come down here. What happened?"

"Don't be nervous, it's a great event." Ying said calmly, "Our guild has won the lottery."

"Won a prize?"

Hongyue smiled and said: "It's a super grand prize."

"What's going on? You guys should tell me quickly! You want to scare me to death, don't you?"

Ziyue hung on my back with a smile and said: "Just after you left the floating island this morning, a communication suddenly sounded in the sky above Isengard. Currently, there are ten guilds in the world whose killing value has reached 100,000 points. So the system started a super race.”

"Super competition? A competition to see who has more cavalry?"

"Oh, of course not! Didn't you see that the new land we bought is full of high-level cavalry? If there were more people than there, wouldn't we buy the cheaper low-level cavalry?"

"Can you explain it to me clearly?"

"Let me do the talking!" Rose suddenly appeared behind me.

"You're back? How's it going?" Eagle asked Rose.

Rose smiled and nodded: "Is there anything I can't handle if I take action?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Rose said: "Let me tell you! We received this competition mission after you left this morning, and there were nine other guilds that also received the mission like us. The missions of these ten guilds were determined by drawing lots. As for the mission The rewards are all the same. They are all determined by drawing lots. So I asked Jixiang Ruyi to draw lots, and I got the special prize."

"Is this mission the special prize?"

"No, tasks and rewards are bundled. Tasks with high rewards are difficult. Currently, the land we draw is the most difficult task, which is the attacker."

"Attack? Who are you attacking? Those nine guilds?"

"No." Rose explained: "The task was drawn by Jixiang. As a result, he drew an offensive and defensive final task, which is a competition between ten guilds in pairs. This is probably the most beneficial way of competition for us. Because Our guild is the strongest, so the difficulty of the tasks in the competition will be reduced. And we are lucky enough to have picked the worst one among the ten guilds as our opponent. Do you think it is a grand prize?"

"What a blessing!"

Ziyue smiled and said: "Of course. Good luck and good fortune are infinite. No matter how many times you draw, you will always get the special prize."

"So what is the specific content of the mission? Is it a decisive battle on the plains?"

"Not exactly. The mission content is in stages." Rose explained in detail: "The first part of the mission is the pursuit. Our target will set off an hour earlier than us, but we cannot assemble the troops within this hour. Because once the teleportation array at the back officially starts, you can only leave but not enter. The speed of gathering troops is one of the strengths of a guild, so this mission also takes this into consideration. Everyone is notified at the same time. Yes. No one takes advantage. If we have to say we are lucky, Europeans are luckier. Their time period happens to be when there are more people online, but today is a holiday, so it is not a disadvantage to other countries."

"What do you do after you assemble the troops?"

"The other party will get a mission item. But because the mission hasn't started yet, we don't know exactly what we want to grab for the time being. Anyway, there is such a target that needs to be grabbed. The other party's task is to safely escort the target to the destination. Once the other party enters City, the nature of the mission will immediately change, and we will transform from a pursuit war to a city siege war. But taking down the city is not the final mission, the fundamental mission is still to seize that target."

"Then we are sure to win? If you bring in so many cavalry, the opponent will probably be defeated halfway. How can they still use it in the second stage?"

"Theoretically, this is the case. This is why I spent so much money on so many cavalry. It is to resolve the battle in the first phase and avoid entering the second phase of the battle. But it is hard to say. What if the size of the thing that needs to be escorted is too large. It's very small, and the other side happens to have some very fast flying creatures that escort things directly into the city, so we definitely won't be able to catch up. After all, they set off an hour earlier than us. Maybe their vanguard will be there before we move. We’ve reached our destination.”

I thought for a while and said: "If we enter a siege battle, it's not impossible to win if we fight hard. It's just that using cavalry to attack the city is a bit wasteful, but victory shouldn't be a problem."

Rose said: "What I said before is that the target enters the city. It does not mean that the opponent's soldiers enter the city. The rules of the game say that once the opponent enters the city, they will receive five to one troops. That is, every time they have five people enter the city, the system will We will add an NPC to them. Therefore, we must consume the opponent's number in advance and try not to let their people enter the city. Also, the entire game has a time limit, and the time does not start from the beginning of the game, but starts from The count starts when the thing escorted by the other party enters the city. Once that thing enters the city, the countdown starts. And the time is only three hours."

"Are you saying that as long as three hours after the target item enters the city, if we haven't snatched it back, the game will be considered a failure?"

"Correct." Rose said: "But this situation should not happen. This time I require all participants to have high-speed mounts, so even if we can't catch up with the opponent's items into the city, at least we can take their large troops Stop it. As long as there are no guards in the city, what's there to be afraid of in an empty city?"

"Is the mission that simple?"

"Yes. But this is only the knockout round of the top ten, and the subsequent projects will have to be drawn again. Moreover, this confrontation is only between us and the guild that we have drawn. The remaining eight guilds may have different tasks. It’s not the same, they will be sent to different regions to compete.”

"Where are we now?" I asked.

"This is a game-specific map. It is not connected to the regular world!"

"So what's the mission reward?"

"Specify the target to copy once."

"Huh?" I didn't understand what Rose meant.

Ziyue, who was still hanging on my back, said: "I will give you another copy of the thing you want. Then Ruyi pointed at Isengard with her fat paw, and the task reward became Isengard. Singer is copied once. If the mission is successful, we will be able to place a complete replica of Isengard at the mission designated location on the official map. Except for the personnel inside and some special items that are not allowed to appear a second time, there will be no copies. The materials in the warehouse will appear exactly the same again."

"I like this reward."

Rose smiled and said: "I took advantage of the opportunity. Because the game has not officially started, Isinger's current status has not been recorded yet. I am asking everyone to move various supplies to Isinger. Anyway, put more now. Go in, and when you turn back, you will be in two parts. If you don't let it go, it will be in vain."

Ashford interjected: "No wonder you borrowed all the magic crystals from our guild and copied them after working on them for a long time. Let's agree first, I want the interest!"

"Didn't I already agree with you to give you 10% interest?"

Ashford said: "If I had known I would have given 50%! What a miscalculation!"

"Hahaha! Who told you not to investigate clearly first." I said proudly: "By the way, just let the fleet return to the port and bring back those Zerg castles by the way, and we can make a copy together. "

"You don't have to say that. We have recalled everything that can be rushed back."

I asked, "How long until it starts?"

Rose checked the time. "Thirty minutes."

I nodded. "That's right. You initially promised to give these people ten crystal coins as long as they arrived at the scene. Ten crystal coins are probably not enough to fight, right? There are tens of millions of mercenaries here. How can we afford that much money? Huh? By then, all the money from the salary will be enough for us to build another Isengard!"

"Are you still worried about losing money while I'm here?" Rose said proudly: "Then! Listen up. The current Essinger is actually composed of Essinger's phantom twin cities on the ground and Essinger located deep in the earth's crust. It consists of three parts: the Earth Center City and the Essinger Mobile Fortress located in the clouds. The Phantom Twin Cities can actually be regarded as two cities. In this way, one copy is four copies. We have four more cities for nothing. . Its value is about 6 billion crystal coins. Do you think this is not enough for wages? In addition. In addition to the city, the materials we temporarily moved in can almost replicate the value of 300 million more crystal coins. Also. I just went out Just contact the news unit. EU United News bought the full video copyright of our guild in this competition for 700 million crystal coins. This is enough to pay wages."

Eagle stood beside him and counted his fingers: "Seven hundred million? God! You really know how to make money!"

"It's not a big deal." Rose said: "As long as we don't lose, we can make a lot of money. Even if we fail, we won't lose money. Anyway, the news copyright is enough to pay for the expedition. Of course, it's better to win." Wonderful. Moreover, there may be rewards in the subsequent Five Powers Competition."

"Yes, we must fight this battle well. The ten guilds selected by the system are probably the ten strongest guilds in the world. If we can get the first place, then at least we will have a shock With a super reputation, no matter who you fight with in the future, you will be able to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum. This is something more important than money."

Hongyue said: "My opinion is that the purple rb people should chase the target. Your bird is the fastest flying creature in this guild, and the spear cannot catch up with his speed. If you are alone . It may be possible to intercept the target before the other party arrives. Moreover, your magic pets are very scary. If the other party really only sends a few personnel to escort them, they might be able to let you grab the things directly. Then we can It saves trouble and wins directly!”

"It's unlikely that you're that lucky, is it?" Ying asked with some disbelief.

Rose said: "Don't tell me, maybe it's really possible!"

"I will pursue you as soon as the time comes." I thought for a while and said, "That's right. You have transferred all the people here. What will happen to our city? What if someone else takes this time to attack our city?"

"Don't worry. The system has given a super suppression function. During the battle, the city's defense will be invincible. Moreover, the attack power of all our own personnel and defense equipment in the city will be strengthened a hundred times. It can be said that during this period, you can instantly hit anyone you see. Dropped. But it is only within the scope of our guild's influence, so we cannot use this loophole to attack other people's cities."

"I can rest assured that."

After everyone discussed it, we started to use this time to organize the troops and put the players from our guild into the recruited players and NPC teams as commanders. This grassland is full of cavalry, and we divided them into multiple echelons according to their speed characteristics. Put the fastest ones in front to ensure that you can catch up with the enemy as soon as possible. It's easy to just drag them outside the city.

We finally finished the team a few minutes before the game started. As I rode Ye Ying floating in the air, I felt like there were people all down below. This cavalry formation is invisible to the front, rear, left and right. After asking the person in charge of counting, they found out that there were more than 17 million players arriving this time, and the number of NPCs was as high as 60 million. A super cavalry force composed of nearly 80 million cavalrymen. No wonder you can't see the edge from all sides, thanks to this being a virtual prairie. If so many cavalrymen really gathered on the earth, by the time they ran over, the grassland would probably be out of grass, and it would be turned into mud by them!

After completing the team mission, Rose paid some employment fees to those players through overall transactions. As for the rest, they only paid a deposit first, and then set up a trading contract in the system. Once the mission is completed, they will naturally get the remaining portion. We don’t need to pay money one by one.

The time for the competition came soon, and a system prompt suddenly sounded above our heads. "The bounty mission for the Holy Alliance Certificate has been launched. Attention, all players in the Frost Rose Alliance, in order to prove your strength, you must grab the Holy Alliance Certificate. What you see now is the Holy Alliance Certificate."

A translucent phantom suddenly appeared in the sky in front of us. Because it was placed very large, everyone could see it. But when I noticed the lower part of the thing, I realized that the illusion was not much magnified, because the thing was actually a sculpture, and underneath it was a large carriage. And now the horse next to the carriage is only four or five times the size of a normal horse. In other words, this thing is only magnified four or five times. Convert it according to this ratio. The actual height of the sculpture in the illusion should be almost forty meters high. Definitely a big guy.

Rose said next to me: "Now you don't have to worry about them bringing this thing into the city first!"

"I think so!" This thing is so big. Even if it is made of wood, it must weigh more than twenty tons. If it is made of stone, it must weigh at least one hundred tons. It’s strange that the opponent can run so fast with such a big guy!

The shape of the sculpture shown in the illusion is very strange. In addition to a square base, there is a group of winding lines on top, as if it is an abstract flame sculpture. I can't see what it means anyway. But no matter what, the value of this thing is definitely not less than a city, and it is also bundled with our other rewards. If you don’t get it, you won’t want anything else, so I can’t give up no matter what. .

The system prompts continue. "This Holy Alliance Certificate is one of the three-piece set. Its function is to suppress the effects of all auxiliary idols. Its scope of effect is unlimited. Please work hard to prove that you are worthy of him!"

As the last sound ended, the translucent light curtain that had been floating in front of us suddenly disappeared. It seems the game has officially begun. But we can't move yet, because the light curtain has disappeared. But there was a similar light curtain blocking the back. When the light curtain disappears after an hour, it will be time for us to attack.

We were standing behind the light curtain and looking ahead. Suddenly a big hole appeared in the sky, and then a white light flashed. A large group of people appeared on the other side of the light curtain in front of us, but what caught my attention was the one among them. An abstract sculpture. That's the Evidence of the Holy Alliance we just looked at. Then the identity of this group of people is also obvious, they are our opponents. But it was a little surprising that the other party was actually a guild from an African country, and almost all of the team members were black.

The other party may not know in advance that they will be teleported collectively. They were also stunned for a moment after coming out. When they noticed the cavalry standing behind them as far as the eye could see, they were dumbfounded on the spot. It took a few minutes for someone to react, and with a burst of shouting, the other party's people began to quickly form a team. In fact, they have a lot of people, and they probably hired a lot of helpers. Their total strength is not much less than ours, but they just don't have many cavalry.

Although their team quickly began to move forward, a young black man who looked to be in his teens rode a black lion and walked to the light curtain. There are two people following this guy. It seems that this little guy is still a leader. He glanced at the situation here. Then he locked his eyes on me. The cavalry formation on our side is very neatly arranged. I am standing in front with a group of people, and there is no one around me. It is obvious that I am the leader.

The young man drove his mount to the opposite side of me. He pulled out his long knife through the light curtain, and then flicked it. Then he raised his head, rubbed his neck with his thumb, and then pointed at me. The meaning is obvious. He was challenging me.

I said nothing. He just raised his right hand and pointed at his left wrist, meaning to ask him to pay attention to the time. He immediately looked unconvinced. But the person next to him said something in his ear, and he glared at that person angrily, and then said something to me. It wasn't until this moment that I discovered that the light curtain was actually soundproof, and I couldn't hear what he said at all. He may have noticed it, but he did not continue to draw, but turned and left.

Without cavalry, and with such a big thing, the opponent's speed is really slow. The worst thing is that when the sculpture came to them, it only came with a few horses and a special large carriage. The number of horses was obviously not enough, and they couldn't pull the cart at all. They also had to use some large monsters. But despite this, they could only move forward slowly, and they couldn't move fast at all with this thing. If our guild acted as the defender, Rose would probably bring Dragonfly Castle over. Although that guy is not big among the Zerg fortresses, it is still no problem to lift three to four hundred tons.

Seeing each other go away, we can only watch from here. Seeing that the time was almost up, Rose used amplification magic to say to the back: "You are all temporary recruits. There may be big problems in cooperation. Simply don't accommodate each other. After a while, the barrier is removed and run away. The faster ones run first, and the slower ones follow behind. Once you meet the enemy, just line up and charge directly towards them."

"I understand" "I know"... There was a lot of 'messy' answers from behind. If you are not a member of the guild, you definitely can't do it!

There was only one minute left when the rose reminded me that it was time to start. I let the night shadow float into the air, and then pointed to the sky again for eternity. I raised my sword with one hand and slowly drew a circle toward the sky, until the barrier in front suddenly disappeared, and I swung forward fiercely at the same time. Just listen to the neighing of the cavalry below, all the cavalry started at the same time, and the ground began to shake violently in an instant.

Putting away the night shadow, I summoned a flying bird and jumped up. Pat the bird's armor. "Come on!"

Four flames suddenly spurted out from behind the flying bird. I felt a huge pressure and my body jumped forward. Asuka actually used supersonic assault directly from a stationary state. The people below only saw me disappear in a flash above my head.

The speed of the guys in front was only about the same as that of infantry, and they didn't get very far in an hour. Asuka's supersonic assault was so fast that it almost reached behind them in no time. I rode the flying bird directly over their heads to a distance in front of the team, and then jumped off the flying bird. Put the space door on the ground, and then open the Fenglong space. "It's up to you."

Scott took his sword and drew a line under his feet: "Don't worry! We will never let that thing jump over here."

As soon as the tank crawled out of Fenglong Space, he immediately unfolded it and said, "Let me blow away the carriage first. I'll see how they carry that thing."

"Stop." I quickly shouted to the tank. "When you shoot down, the carriage will be scattered and the sculptures will be scattered. Don't make trouble for me. Use half power to blow up the vanguard in front of them and knock out all the riding beasts."

"clear."

Taking advantage of the suppressed tank fire, Scott quickly summoned all the Ring Knight and Evil Spirit Knight. Anyway, I have nearly 10,000 people here. Although it can be said to be less than one-thousandth of the troops on the opposite side, I don't want to fight them decisively. I just need to block them for a few minutes. The cavalry were very fast and could catch up in ten minutes. Now I think it is really important to have a good think tank. If Rose hadn't thought of concentrating a large number of cavalry units, such a battle would have been really difficult!

I formed a formation here, and the people on the opposite side set up a charging formation, obviously trying their best. The outcome of this battle depends on whether I can block it or not!
