Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
Each student also has his or her own hilltop.
When Luo Jie, "Akaban Raijin" and "Charlotte" arrived at the school's auditorium, nearly a thousand students in the school had already arrived.
The students gathered in large or small circles depending on the distance of their daily relationships, and intensely discussed this unexpected incident that was beyond everyone's imagination.
Not long after, the college management arrived one after another.
Sitting in the master position is still the majestic-looking principal "Edward Rutherford", but the person in charge of presiding over the meeting is the mature and charming beautiful teacher "Kimberly"...
This red-haired girl with glasses and strong aura has almost become the spokesperson of Walpurgis Wangli Jiji Academy.
"Now the whole of London, and even the whole of Country E, is facing an unprecedented crisis. I believe that everyone has learned from various channels what the enemy we are about to face is. I will not waste time explaining it here."
"You are not soldiers, so no one can force you to participate in this battle... No, to be precise, this is already a war. But I only represent myself, and I hope you can do it for the whole of London. The six million citizens of the city must do their part. If you buy just one more second, it is likely that several or even dozens of people will be rescued due to your efforts."
"I don't know what the future will be like, and I'm not sure whether we will have the chance to return to the hometown we abandoned, and I can't give you any guarantees about honors or rewards... Some things in this world are just like that, even if Even if you do it, you may not get anything, but if you don’t do it, one day you will regret your original choice.”
"The above is what I want to say to you. Now you can make your choice - those students who choose to stay to delay the evacuation of citizens can immediately rush to the Western Front battlefield when they are ready. I can tell you I guarantee that when you complete your mission and return to London Port, there will be a place for heroes like you on the last batch of passenger ships."
"As for the students who choose to escape, I will not discriminate against you. Maybe your initial goal of coming to the college to study was to become a teacher or a scholar. No one has the right to force you to do this just because you have this ability. We are about to embark on the battlefield...but I hope that in the days to come, you can use the dexterity and magic you learned in the academy in the right place, help those who need your help as much as possible, and always keep a The honor of a famous puppeteer.”
This sounds... like a mission...
Sure enough, as soon as this idea came to Luo Jie's mind, the corresponding task prompt appeared from the visual projection.
[Mission: All Quiet on the Western Front]
[Goal: Prevent Kabane creatures from invading the city of London and buy time for citizens to evacuate.]
[Time limit: From now on until Kabane Creatures crosses the London city center line.]
[Tip: This mission is a large-scale group mission. Players can invite other players or NPCs to form a team. There are no kill rewards during the mission. After the mission is over, individual point rewards and group prop rewards will be given based on the total contribution ranking of the player and the team. 】
【Whether to accept?】
"Grass!"
Luo Jie vaguely heard many players whispering curses from the crowd around him.
The founder of the temporary alliance of players, "King Dagen", even looked as blue as pig liver.
No one expected that the breaking point of Kabane would be on their westward route, which made all their previous plans and preparations a joke.
"What should we do now? Going west is definitely impossible. Should we go to London Harbor now?"
Facing the anxious inquiries from other players, King Dagen's brows almost knitted into a ball, and he rubbed his palms on Guang Kejianren's head.
"No, according to my experience, the more the system issues such tasks that seem to be doable or not, the more pitfalls there are... Moreover, the Port of London must have been taken over by the army now, even if we are... In the past, we might not be able to grab the boat, so we might as well accept this mission first. As long as we can hold on until the end of the time limit, we should be able to escape by boat with the senior officials of Walpurgis College."
"You mean we just have to wait and see?"
"I'm afraid not. The mission of this team is to stop Kabane. Gou will definitely not be able to survive. But fortunately, the system obviously leaves a way out for players with low strength..."
"You mean teaming up with NPCs?"
"Yes, even the thirteen people on the first page cannot stop the tide of tens of thousands of Kabane alone. They also need helpers. This is our chance to survive this mission... In addition, in addition to The thirteen people on the first page and the top hundred at the night party are also the ones we want to win over. If necessary, we can use quantity instead of quality."
Not only the temporary player alliance headed by "King Dagen" has thought of this, but other scattered players who have not joined are also actively looking for familiar NPCs to form a team.
Among them, among the thirteen people on the first page, the more popular ones are "Emperor of Three Thousand Worlds", "Golden Olga", "Girl with Silver Spear", "Fire Emperor of Frozen Earth", "Brothers Kazerous", " "The King of the Dead" has gathered a large number of followers under his command.
Naturally, Luo Jie would not fight alone, but he did not intend to recruit too many useless people.
After all, this fantasy is different from the past. Players not only have to face combat pressure, but also logistical supply pressure. Having too many people is not an advantage. The more you go on, the more likely it is that the team will collapse due to the inability to keep up with supplies.
He had made similar mistakes in his previous life, and it was naturally impossible for him to make the same mistakes again in this life.
Luo Jie's social circle in Walpurgis College is not large, and the number of people he can be considered acquainted with is extremely limited, including "Akaban Raijin" and "Charlotte Birao".
Coupled with the "Fiery Cactus" who is currently a cooperative partner, as well as the "Succulent" and "Flei" he sent out to build a ship before, the main framework of his team is set up.
Although the main members of the team are these five people, there are two more non-staff members when they are actually assembled.
One is "Annriette Piraud", the biological sister of "Charlotte Pirao", one of Akabane Raijin's harem in the original work, a weak and beautiful girl with long flaxen hair.
Another uninvited guest is the current eighth member of the night club, "Spinning Flame Sword" Loki.
A cool and beautiful boy with pearl-colored slanted bangs and long hair and red eyes.
Of course, he also has another identity - the biological brother of Frey, the 99th member of the original night club, "Silent Roar".
Luo Jie was not surprised when the cold young man showed up uninvited.
After all, this white-haired guy is a famous sister-control figure in the original work. He seems to always look down on the clumsy Fleur, but in fact he hopes to use this to make his sister who has no fighting ability voluntarily withdraw from the dangerous night party competition.
Nowadays, this Kabane tide is a hundred times more dangerous than a night party duel. Luo Jie would feel strange if this "sister-protecting madman" did not appear.
