Time passed quietly in such silence, and before you knew it, the last halo of light disappeared from the top of the mountain~ From then on, time entered the dark night, covering the earth, and at the same time, fear was rooted deep in the hearts of all living things.
...
Demons are naturally not afraid of darkness, or at least ordinary darkness~
A large number of demonic creatures can play two-hand fire tricks, or they have naturally mutated demonic fire on their bodies, such as the hair of Gog's advanced Magog, the tail of a high-level hell hound, or the top-level one-horned demon.
Horns... In short, demons are not afraid of the dark, because most of them have ways to dispel darkness~
It's just that tonight, to this demon patrol guard standing on the edge of proficiency, the darkness that spreads quietly seems unusually...creepy?
The roar of the Crypt Lord, which suddenly rang out in the woods before disappearing, was like a sharp sword hanging in their hearts, constantly radiating a chilling light, but it stimulated their hairs to stand on end and there was nothing more.
The "movement"...
Wow!
There was a sudden noise in the grass, and all the demons were startled!
Several lemurs screamed and dispersed, seemingly trying to escape. However, they may have suddenly remembered their responsibilities midway...or were they the tragic consequences of becoming deserters? In short, they ran away.
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped running, but he didn't dare to come back. He could only stand stupidly in the middle of the road, not knowing what to do.
The Goges have already made fireballs, as if the flames leaping on their palms can give them safety and warmth. Other melee units such as Hell Hounds or One-Horned Demons are also on alert. The Hell Hounds
He leaned forward, with his front paws sticking out and his butt raised high, and the muscles on his hind legs tightened to an exaggerated degree! The one-horned devil's horns were slightly slanted, and his hind hooves paved the ground uneasily, and he also made gestures at any time.
The momentum of planning a charge.
And just then...
Crash...plop~
In the darkness, a black figure seemed to jump out of the woods, but before taking two steps, it suddenly fell to the edge of the woods, shocking all the patrolling demons to jump subconsciously!
This...evil god sacrificer???
The fallen "Crypt Lord" had "horn"-shaped flames on his head that looked like active flames, but in fact it was a sign that a large amount of demonic power had gathered on the horn, making it rich in fire elements.
However, any crypt lord with this characteristic indicates that he has reached an advanced level... He is at least a figure in the demon army, and it is not a big deal to easily command a regiment.
The promotion of Crypt Lords of the Evil God system is more inclined to the Summoning system, which not only obtains more power of the Evil God through power exchange, but also is a unit with important strategic significance in the demon army like the priest of the Divine Grace system... because
Their "reincarnation" abilities are stronger than other Crypt Lords!
Even if you take one step further, such an "Evil God Sacrifice" can become an "Evil God Chosen One" and become the top existence in the Crypt Lord system!
But now...such a very important "big shot" actually fainted on the side of the road...
The other middle and low-level demons felt confused, but they didn't dare to do anything unusual. However, one of the six-armed mages seemed to be a bit smarter and knew how to throw a fireball to see the effect.
The strong flaming ball exploded on a nearby tree, almost blowing up the unfortunate tree body, and exuded a charcoal smell of burnt wood, but the evil god sacrificer remained indifferent.
As if...as if he were dead?
At this time, the other demons seemed to have gained some courage, and moved forward step by step with the rhythm of the flames, until the first hell hound approached the evil god's sacrificer...
.Sniff?
The sound of twitching the nose came clearly. It turned out to be the hell hound sniffing something on the crypt lord... But after a while, the hell hound didn't seem to smell anything, so it could only look at the rest of the people behind it.
The devil howled, which meant "safety".
Just when that low howl came out, even before it came back, a giant hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and pinched the neck of the unlucky hound!!!
Enemy attack???
The other demon patrols subconsciously wanted to issue a warning, but when they took a closer look, they discovered that the giant hand actually belonged to the evil god's sacrificer who fell on the ground!
However, the evil god sacrificer seemed to have no intention of taking action, and was just subconsciously defending himself. When he reacted, he naturally grabbed the neck of a hell hound and did not continue to kill him. Instead, he slowly let go and let the other person leave.
By this time, the Devil Patrol probably had some idea in mind. From the looks of it, it seems that he is indeed not an "enemy"...
"Number...password..."
At this time, a horned demon warlord who looked like a high-level horned demon with the highest status came up to him and shouted out two words with difficulty... He actually asked for the number of the opponent's unit and the password to clear the level!
Hey?
After working on it for a long time, it turns out that there are still such conversations between NPCs?
At this moment, Lei Hanxin, who was lying quietly not far away and peeping at the movement here, was slightly shocked. He couldn't help but feel that the world was actually far deeper than what they had seen~
But if you want to talk about the number and password, that’s pure nonsense~
Let alone Lei Hanxin and the others, even if they knew, how could they still send a message from thousands of miles away to tell the evil god's sacrificer?
Therefore, the evil god sacrificer still just followed the original settings and continued to pretend:
As he said that, the evil god sacrificer pretended to be seriously injured and actually lay on the ground and coughed violently.
But when things got here, it was a bit beyond the intelligence of the horned demon warlord.
He first noticed the other party's identity - he was a demon, so it seemed like he was a friendly army?
But when I asked for the password again, the other party couldn't answer it... and he didn't even answer with his own number!
This seems a bit... a bit difficult to handle...
And just when the horned demon warlord was in shock and doubt, on the other side, the evil god sacrificer who fell on the ground began to struggle to get up again:
"Military order...secretly...report to superiors..."
It said with difficulty, but from the perspective of a middle- and low-level mercenary, this answer was already complete. It said that it had important confidential military orders on its body, and it had to report them directly to its superiors...
This time the problem becomes even more serious!
Because if the matter is delayed, it means that the horned demon governor ruined the evil god's sacrifice, and if it is a big deal, then I am afraid that no one-horned demon can bear such a big crime.
The dearest one is afraid that he will be sentenced to be quartered by five horses by his own lord!
But if you want to let him go immediately... it doesn't seem to be appropriate. After all, the other party didn't give the signal. If you just let him go and cause some trouble later... then it's even more inappropriate.
He is a mere little horned demon warlord who can afford it!
Therefore, when he realized that the situation was troublesome, the Horned Demon Warlord already took a step forward and said:
"Sir... go to see him at the camp... I... will accompany you..."
Yes, accompanying the evil god sacrificer to meet their lord is already the most effective and complete method that the Horned Demon Governor can think of!
If the opponent has evil intentions, he can at least subdue the opponent immediately... After all, the Horned Demon Warlord is a melee type who focuses on attacking and charging, while the Crypt Lord is a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts but is not proficient in either.
Way, at least in front of the Horned Demon Overseer, they can't pull any tricks~
As soon as this idea came up, even the Horned Demon Warlord couldn't help but feel a little complacent, feeling extremely happy that he could come up with such a perfect plan!
He said that he felt as if he suddenly had an enlightenment recently, and could think of any conspiracy immediately. If so... would he be favored by the goddess of the world and become a higher-ranking person in a while?
What about the demons that exist? The thought of that scenario coming true is...
Unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, the face of the Horned Demon Warlord became more and more ferocious and twisted. Lei Hanxin, who was standing high in the distance, was startled when he saw it. He thought the other party had seen something, noticed something fishy, and was about to attack him.
,I didn’t expect...
After a while, the horned demon warlord and the evil god sacrificer left together. However, about a few miles after walking out, a strange scene happened on the edge of the woods... It turned out that there were suddenly many horned demons.
Demons emerged from those woods somehow!
Because there is no local guard captain, the other stupid middle and low-level demons don't know what passwords to check. They just realize that they are "one of their own" and simply ignore them and let them enter.
And those one-horned demons quickly gathered around the local demon troops stationed there. Then, as if they had collectively received some kind of order, suddenly there were three one-horned demons, and they launched a sneak attack on the demon patrols around them like lightning.
!!!
The attack was so fast, and it happened so close to us, that even the hellhound, who had the fastest reaction speed in the team, had no time to react. He was attacked by those "compatriots" without even making a sound.
Torn to pieces!
The one-horned demon is definitely a rare "special case" in the generally weak demon army. When compared horizontally, its basic attributes, strength, and physique are even better than most alien fourth-level creatures, and its spirit is not weak.
, only slightly lower in agility, it is a rare mid-range and powerful combat unit in the demon army.
Now there is another sneak attack in groups of three and three. There are dozens of demon patrols in the field, but none of them can make a sound. They are wiped out by those horned demons in an instant...
...
And just after they were dealt with here, the other side of the Evil God Sacrifice was also cleaned up... Because there were always two marquis-level vampires following them nearby, and they only waited for them to enter a relatively suitable environment before launching a sneak attack.
Together with the evil god sacrificer who acted as an internal agent, there was no chance for the mere fourth-level and sixth-level horned demon warlord~
After so quietly killing a demon patrol, Lei Hanxin and James roughly figured out the reaction mechanism of these demon troops without heroic units and boss units, and simply followed the law.
In less than two hours, a large number of wandering demon patrols around the mountain were cleared away~
Although the process seemed to have alerted the upper echelons of the devil's patrol team, who sent out mobile sentries several times to carry out large-scale patrols... But the problem is that Lei Hanxin and the others became bolder at this time!
They actually directly used the soul judge's "soul-stealing" special effect to control two enemy patrols, and then used it as a barrier to coordinate the actions of the entire corps, making the entire corps on their side feel like they were in uninhabited territory in the northwest of the mining area.
They can come and go freely, making it difficult for the demon clan to guard against them~
An ordinary patrol team has about fifty demons, while a wandering sentinel team has anywhere from one hundred to five hundred people.
Overnight, Lei Hanxin and James actually took out more than 40 fixed-point sentries and seven mobile sentries of their opponents, and almost wiped out the enemy's entire peripheral guard force west of the mining area!
Just here, more than 3,500 demons died. Although the record is not very impressive, the key is that the opponent is an army of super demons with a total strength of perhaps 1.5 million!
The key to being able to devour an entire opponent's army under such a huge disparity in strength is to not alarm the opponent at all, which is commendable~
However, by the next morning, the inexplicable disappearance of a large number of sentinels in the western part of the mining area had alarmed the higher-ups on the Devil's side.
For safety reasons, they directly sent an entire army group to sweep the entire western part of the mining area this time. The weird thing is... they found nothing!
Not only that, but in the afternoon, news of the appearance of human cavalry came from the south and north of the mining area. But it is not a big deal. Since the demon army surrounded the most important city of faith in the area, those scattered
When did the scattered human troops think that they could take back this place?
But I don’t know how many reconnaissance troops were sent, but in the end they were still unable to defeat their demonic army. What did they have to be afraid of?
In addition to appropriately strengthening the guards, with more than one million demon troops stationed locally, they have no fear that human troops capable of destroying them will quietly approach them...unless the human troops on the opposite side send out
A team of legendary level experts is coming!
But how is that possible?
If the manpower on the opposite side is really so rich, then the people who will really be hit by them will definitely not be on the second-line battlefield like this...
So after a busy day, the demons began to relax again. At night, they continued to implement the previous sentry system, except that they sent a few more inspection troops composed of high-level personal guard demons...
But on the morning of the third day, something even more terrifying happened!
Not only did all the fixed sentry posts in the west of the mining area collectively "disappear" inexplicably, but a similar situation also occurred in the north of the mining area!
And what's even weirder is...even the two high-level demon guards followed them to death without seeing corpses...
"What??? Gone??? What do you mean missing!!!"
There was a loud bang, but it was the big demon lord who took action with hatred and punched the Fire Sultan's subordinate who had just come forward to report. The opponent hit a rock outside the big tent, and then a fierce and fiery explosion occurred.
explode.
"General...the general...just...is missing...
We can't find them, and we can't find out why they disappeared. Even...even the hellhound can't smell the smell of any suspicious objects, so..."
"Damn it! How is this possible!!! That's an army of 10,000 people! In two days, an army of 10,000 people disappeared inexplicably... Damn it! Are you guys just eating shit?
Are you grown up?
The maggots in the River Styx are more useful than you!
You idiots are worse than volcanic ash!!!
And my personal guard regiment! Actually...just disappeared like this! You stupid idiots! I am really angry to death!!!"
Just when the great demon lord was furious, on the other side, Lei Hanxin and the others, who had probably guessed their opponent's reaction, were so happy that they almost rolled to the ground~
After being beaten to disgrace by these bastards in the City of Faith, how could a group of elite knights from the City of Faith not gnash their teeth at these demons that invaded their land?
However, the building will be overwhelmed by one tree. At present, with the strength of their City of Faith family, they are simply unable to cope with the tens of millions of enemy troops pouring into the Province of Faith. It would be great if they can manage to support it~
And here, they were able to discredit more than 10,000 of their soldiers and smuggled them under the eyes of the other party... Although it took a little too much time to do the work, it was still fun to waste more time.
!
Especially when I think about the disappearance of more than 10,000 soldiers, this matter must not be hidden from the demon lords, and they are so angry that they are helpless and gnashing their teeth... Just thinking about it makes people feel stomachache!
The funniest thing is that the two outpost troops encountered at the end actually asked the demon troops on James' side to report to them... So what else is there to report? Just introduce them to those idiots.
He entered the ambush circle and ate up all 600 high-level demon troops in one bite! It felt so good to eat~
Among these six hundred high-level demons, there were a total of about 550 sixth-level flame elves and about fifty big demons. In the end, they only defeated more than a hundred useless horned demons... You do the math.
What's the loss? He just turned around and used their corpses to reincarnate. It's a pure profit!
James and Lei Hanxin were enjoying themselves, but they didn't know that the demon lord on the other side was about to be blown away. He only wanted to catch these little bastards and peel them off...
On the third night, the enemy's defenses became even tighter. They even placed high-level demon units in the normal sentinel team, and they were generally big demons with the ability to teleport and escape. It seemed that they were just to find out what was going on.
What is the reason why our troops keep disappearing without any reason?
At the same time, there are more than twenty outpost troops wandering in the warning zone outside the entire mining area, and three of them are led by spirit-level demon heroes. It seems that the demons have made great efforts to remove those hidden in the mine tonight.
Find out the despicable guy in the dark!
but......
Are Lei Hanxin and the others stupid? Knowing that their opponents are well prepared, they still confront them head-on?
So they simply changed their approach this time, letting the Death God who was good at stealth investigation clear the way, and cooperated with the most mobile sixth-grade Marquis-level vampire troops to avoid the enemy's sentinel team little by little, and quietly sneaked into the opponent's main camp east of the mining area.
Camp area......
Sure enough!
Because there are too many demon armies stationed here, and most of the demons are selfish and aggressive. The powerful generally like to occupy a larger territory and drive the rest of the cannon fodder into small corners.
Therefore, the temporary base they originally set up based on a captured mining town was simply not enough, and a large number of demon barracks were laid out all the way outside the camp.
And the even more amazing thing is...the demons seem to be focused on dealing with the "mysterious enemy outside", so they have transferred their main defense forces to the outside. On the contrary, the area near the door of their house is very empty, and even the least patrolling people are there.
No!
Or maybe there are some, but they just saw that the main forces in the camp were stationed outside, so they got comfortable and deserted... Who knows~
In short, after the Death Gods carefully conducted a round of investigation, they did not find any suspicious targets in the outer barracks. Instead, they unexpectedly discovered a lot of sick and wounded...or those who had just been withdrawn from the front lines of the City of Faith.
No. 1, all of them were lying in a centralized place moaning and groaning, but no one was there to care about it~
As for the fate of these unlucky guys... Haha~ Or we can only lament their bad luck...
Furious! It’s absolutely furious!
When it was revealed on the morning of the fourth day that the outer perimeter of the demon camp was attacked by unknown mysterious enemies, causing tens of thousands of casualties to mid- to low-level demons, the demon lords in the demon camp were going absolutely crazy!
Once upon a time, the devil's lair where millions of devils were stationed became a tavern where people could come and leave at will?
Is this still a fucking battlefield???
Is this still an army of demons that makes countless enemies fearful???
Where is the dignity of the demon clan??? Where is the power of the demon clan???
The demon lords who were so angry were unreasonable at all. Anyway, they first grabbed a few of the regiment leaders who were in charge of standing guard outside the camp last night and asked them about the situation... When asked, they didn't even know what the enemy was.
I don’t know when I came in, what I looked like, and when I left...
"Stupid pigs!!! What's the use of keeping such stupid pigs? Drag them out and chop them all!!! Chop them into fertilizer!!! Use them to feed those damn pigs tonight!!!!!!"
"
The demon camp erupted into a sky-high roar, and all the birds in the forest a few miles away were frightened away. This shows how intimidating the momentum of the rampaging demon lord is...
But in fact, the losses of the demon army were even more shocking than the anger shown by the demon lord!
Last night, James indeed took a risk and sent out his elite main force, and they were really lucky to seize the enemy's opening.
But the key question is...
This is a demon camp after all! And it is also a super camp with more than one million terrifying demon troops stationed there!
If this makes any noise...
The consequences can only be described as "unthinkable"~
Therefore, in order to be sure, those Death Gods and Marquis-level vampires that sneak in in the end can only choose those units that are sure to kill instantly, such as the little lemures that are as brittle as paper... For example, if there is a demon army,
The famous crispy Goge...
Apart from these two low-level cannon fodders, the worst others are the third-level Hellhounds. Although they are not very powerful guys, the key is that these guys have very sharp noses. Even they are the most erratic and secretive reapers in the army.
I don’t dare to approach them easily. If this arouses alertness, God knows what will happen~
As for the next horned demons and crypt lords, because their HP is too thick, it is difficult to achieve collective instant kills in one barracks, so in the end they have no choice but to give up...
It can be said that the main gain for James and the others last night was the astonishing amount of low-level demon cannon fodder outside the demon camp.
These guys are weak in strength. Naturally, they will not enjoy good treatment in a cruel army like the Demon Army, which ranks high and low based on strength. They can only retreat collectively to a remote small place that is not allowed to build a shack to rest. In this way, everything will be cheap in the end.
James... In total, he killed more than 70,000 demon cannon fodder, and there really was no movement at all!
The next harvest...can only be said to be good luck~
There is only one war zone around here, and that is the City of Faith War Zone. However, three large demon camps have appeared around this war zone.
Since there is a battle, it is inevitable that there will be wounded~
Those whose limbs are intact and only suffer some skin trauma will be able to fully recover after a period of rest. At this point, demonic creatures also have a stronger recovery advantage than ordinary creatures, allowing them to spend more time fighting and recuperating.
short.
However, the cruel fate of war always happens again and again. Some people die, and some people survive, but even if they survive, it does not mean that they are the lucky ones... because they are likely to be disabled.
~
Either the hand is missing, or the hand is lost, or half of the body is missing~
These guys generally don't have any good results, because the demon clan has never had the habit of sympathizing with the weak...even if the weakness is caused by "serving the country."
As long as they are no longer useful, they will be reduced to rubbish and ruthlessly thrown into the coolie camps to work until they die of exhaustion.
And if you are not even qualified to be thrown into a coolie camp... then you are more likely to become the prey of other demons on the spot... This kind of bloody and cruel thing will never happen in the demon clan.
It’s not a rare thing, it happens every moment~
However, no matter what, these are the tragic futures that the disabled will face after being sent back to the rear. But as long as they stay on the battlefield for a moment, they will always be counted as a member of the army, and it matters more.
The dignity and prestige of the demon army!
And the reason why the demon lords are so angry this time is because a group of sick and wounded patients who just came off the front line two days ago are in their camp... They should have been sent away two days ago, but because of the
After such a mess, no one paid attention to these injured and injured patients for a while. They wouldn't run around if they were left there anyway, so they simply left them alone for two days.
Who would have known that just last night, those mysterious enemies who sneaked into the demon camp would actually...
There were more than 30,000 injured demons, including many high-level wounded who could have been rescued... But just last night, not a single one was left, and all were killed by the enemy!
!!How can these demon lords not be angry???
Obviously such a shocking thing happened, but they couldn't tell the outside world yet, and had to strictly block the news... because if the news got out, it would be a slap in their own faces!
The enemy actually broke into the camp overnight and killed nearly 100,000 low-level cannon fodder and more than 30,000 mid-level and high-level disabled demons, and he didn't even see what the enemy looked like...
If this matter spreads, all the demon lords in the camp will have to apologize to the highest commander in the war zone!
For such a fatal matter, they naturally had no choice but to press hard, while trying their best to find those bastards out! Otherwise, how could they swallow the pent-up anger in their hearts?
Helpless, the top commander of the theater could only "apply for support" from his superiors... It was not military support, but a request to transfer a group of "adventurers".
Yes, in the face of those pervasive and mysterious "invaders", the solution the demon lords thought of was to call in "adventurers" who were also extremely uncontrollable to investigate the matter.
As for how to mobilize adventurers...what's the trouble? Those stupid and greedy guys have always been the cheapest labor force. As long as a mere 1,800 gold coins are enough to drive those fools as busy as dogs,
Why not use such a useful subordinate?
Therefore, while Lei Hanxin and the others were still celebrating their amazing victory last night, on the other side, players from the demon side who had participated in this all-out war between the demon race and the human race were beginning to move toward the local area.
Transfer over...
The war between demons and humans is not just a "trivial matter" that occurs in the province of faith.
As of today, this is already an all-out war that is divided into three groups, affecting three human kingdoms including Dickwell and the Eagle Heart Empire respectively!
Even the wars that occurred within the Eagle Heart Empire were by no means limited to the Faith Province, a newly emerging province to the north of the kingdom.
After quickly pulling out the province that was still under construction, the demon army immediately sent its troops south. Now it has captured half of the "Nordville" province south of the Faith Province in one fell swoop. It is now pushing back again and again.
The Kingdom Guards drove south, apparently intending to take advantage of the situation and occupy the entire Nordville Province.
Such a large-scale racial war is even worse than the all-out war between the underground city and the Tower Clan.
The Demon Tribe has naturally mobilized internal player troops, but just like the players' desire for profit, they are only interested in the frontline theaters where military merit is easiest to earn, or else they are interested in the benefits of various transportation and logistics supplies.
Interesting in pretty good stable tasks.
As for siege warfare... tasks such as defense of mining areas that are either extremely dangerous or boring to death, there are really only a few players who can do it, even around the City of Faith, because everyone knows that this is a difficult place.
I have a strong backbone, so no one will come~
However, as soon as the demon camp applies for reinforcements, it means that the demon clan will send some special rare tasks. Anyway, as long as the task rewards are increased, there will always be people who take these seemingly troublesome tasks, and NPCs will not do it at all.
Worry about shortage of manpower.
really!
The application for additional members was sent out in the morning, but everyone arrived in the afternoon. Seeing small groups of adventurers appearing in the camp in twos and threes, the demon lords who still did not show up easily felt somewhat relieved...
If these guys are here, it means there are countless pairs of smart eyes!
Although these guys are extremely weak, they are indeed much smarter than the demon lords' subordinates. With their help and night duty, there really won't be much of a problem...
It was night, and the "mysterious disappearance of the army at night" that had troubled the demon lords for several days was finally put on hold... Although it was far from being able to find out the other party, it really prevented similar things from happening again.
.
After the serious mistake of being touched at the gate of the camp the night before yesterday, if the demon lords can no longer effectively prevent similar incidents from happening, I am afraid that the morale of the entire demon army stationed here will inevitably decline.
situation, and if the situation worsens...
At that time, I am afraid only God knows what will happen next...
While the demon lord felt slightly relieved, Lei Hanxin and the others were extremely helpless.
In fact, many times many things are unilaterally concealed.
For example, any plans of the top management of the NPC forces must be kept strictly confidential, and the players may not even get to know them at all.
Similarly, the circulation of information between players is very high, but these "news" cannot flow to NPCs without reasonable plot arrangements. In the end, it will only cause an information gap between the two parties, and even learn some inside information.
Players who know the news will only avoid dangerous places earlier.
For example, this time James and Lei Hanxin jointly launched a sweep operation, because the process involved the transfer of nearly 20,000 players, so a lot of information could not be hidden from anyone at all~
When the demonic NPCs here were being tricked, relevant news had actually spread on the forum~
And this time Lei Hanxin and the others made a massive attack with great fanfare. The demon players are not stupid. They go to the battlefield to make money and gain military merit, and they are not here to get into trouble with irrelevant player opponents...
What's more, it also involves the two world giant holy city territories of the City of Faith and the City of Plague. Who can provoke such a thorn in the side?
Therefore, after receiving the news, other players nearby had already disappeared in a hurry, and it was only because of this lunatic that he felt uncomfortable coming to this place.
However, as the demon tribe continues to increase mission rewards, naturally some players are still tempted to take the plunge... The key is that when some outstanding players appear, others will also take notice, and when there are more people, there will be many
At that time, everyone’s courage will be particularly strong.
What's more, everyone already knows the opponent's identity and general methods. All that is needed is how to discover them, survive, and then return to the devil's camp to report.
Compared to being suddenly attacked by completely ignorant enemies in the dark, such a first move is enough for players to make a lot of preparations. It can be said that as long as they meet the opponent, they will have great confidence in passing the information back...
