My guess was absolutely correct. In this situation, players are used as cannon fodder by NPCs, so I have already thought about the first wave of cannon fodder.
After receiving the order, a command interface immediately appeared in front of me. All players who entered the Ice Ridge Valley were displayed on my command interface. The total number of participants in the battle has reached 200,000, and it is estimated that almost the entire Chaoyang All players with a city level of 45 or above are here.
I quickly found the location of the War Emperor Palace and the Tyrant Dragon Guild from the command interface, and randomly marked two areas on the map with my finger. The system immediately counted the total number of players in the selected area. There were more than 31,000 people in total, and The player I selected automatically received a blue arrow mark on his head.
It should be enough to send out about 30,000 people for the first wave of assault.
So I immediately edited a system call message and published it.
"Ding~,"
System announcement: Player Long Hu is shouting, brothers and sisters in Chaoyang City, I am the temporary war commander Long Hu. The time to attack has come. Now please select the player to be the main force of the first wave of attacks to attack the target. Let us attack the valley ahead in one go. In this fortress, you can spend your blood and earn war points to your heart's content.
In the command state, I can publish system announcements at will without paying even 1 gold coin to the system.
After the order was issued, there was not much movement below. There were only two to three thousand sparse single players rushing into the Ice Ridge Valley with shouts, because most of the people I selected were the two guilds of War Emperor Palace and Tyrannosaurus, as well as those with them. Players who are closer.
In less than a minute, Wang Xuan and Aolong Batian came to me angrily. As soon as they met, they asked with all their faces: "Why are we responsible for the first wave of attack missions?"
I am actually not surprised at all by their reaction. If they could obediently lead all the brothers in their guild and rush forward without hesitation, it would be strange. If these two people are not pig-headed, how could they not know how to be the first wave of attack? They are all cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
I spread my hands and said, "Someone has to be the main force in the first wave of attacks. It's normal for me to choose whoever I don't choose."
"Then why don't you let your team go first," Aolong Batian continued to question.
I smiled and said: "Boss, if I had a team, I would have been chased like a dog by your Tyrannosaurus in Leiyin Mountain before."
Now Aolong Batian had nothing to say, and was about to leave angrily, but Wang Xuan immediately pulled him back, stared into my eyes and asked: "Everyone knows that you and Xiaolong are so good at wearing a pair of pants, why don't you Tell them to be the first wave,"
I laughed and said, "Are you an idiot or something? Since I wear the same pants as the Xiaolong people, how can I ask them to rush in and die right now?"
The two of them were furious: "You all know that if you rush forward now, you will die. You are avenging a private vendetta, and we will not listen to you."
I sneered and said, "It's okay if you don't listen. Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. You have to get war rewards from me."
Wang Xuan also sneered: "It's true that the rewards are from you, but if I guess correctly, you are just an NPC introduced to make soy sauce. How many rewards should be given depends on war points. You personally have no right to decide who to give them to. No matter how much you send, don’t send it to anyone,”
I nodded: "You are absolutely right,"
"Then why the hell should we listen to your command? I can tell you right now, I will not accept your mission," Wang Xuan said and threw the weapon to the ground to show resistance.
Of course, the next second he quickly picked up his axe, joking, as the boss of the War Emperor Palace, how could he just throw the axe, which was at least a gold weapon, around casually.
I patted his shoulder: "Brother, don't say it so perfectly. I don't have the power to decide the amount of rewards. Otherwise, I will give myself a set of artifact rewards when the time comes. But although I don't have the power to decide the amount of rewards, , but I can deliberately hide to prevent you from finding me to claim the prize. Don’t forget that I am not a real NPC. The system cannot restrict me to stay in a certain place and wait for players to come and claim the prize.”
The two of them frowned, obviously wondering how much truth there was in what I just said.
I continued to put psychological pressure on them: "And as a commander, if you refuse to cooperate, I can complain to the coach and request that all your rewards be cancelled."
Now the two of them were finally a little scared. This kind of large-scale war organized by NPCs is simply a mass distribution of benefits to the majority of players. It is a bit like a holiday distribution. If certain benefits cannot be obtained from it, then the equipment level of the entire guild will be reduced. Other competitors fell behind instantly.
"What to do," Aolong Batian looked at Wang Xuan, he had completely lost his idea.
"But it won't do us any good if we rush directly to die like this," Wang Xuan said weakly.
I struck while the iron was hot and said: "Don't forget that although I am the commander, everyone's eyes are watching, so I can't do it too obviously. Otherwise, other players will complain even if you don't complain. You just need to attack with all your strength." 20 minutes, I will change people as soon as the time is up, and I promise with my personality that I will never deliberately embarrass any of you during the award ceremony."
At this time, the first few thousand single players who rushed in had been killed by the enemy forces in the fortress, with the loss of more than 2,000 people.
I pointed at the players who fled the canyon in a panic and said: "If you don't go up, I will blame those people's failures on you. If you are willing to bear the result, I personally don't care,"
In front of almost all high-level players in Chaoyang City, if you are dismissed as a coward, you can imagine the treatment of the next two guilds. I believe that any player with normal thinking will not be able to accept their recruitment in the future. People then have no choice but to wait to die.
The psychological defenses of the two finally collapsed.
"Mader, let's go. If you don't replace us after 20 minutes of continuous attack, I will be the first to call the game company and complain about you," Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and said a harsh word before turning around and leaving.
"Please remind brothers to protect themselves during the attack," I said loudly to the backs of the two of them.
Of course, any fool can tell that I definitely don’t mean what I said.
After a few minutes of delay, under my coercion and inducement, War Emperor Palace and Tyrannosaurus finally obediently acted as the main force of the first wave of attacks, bringing members of their respective guilds and those who were unfortunate enough to be caught in my trap. The single ghost players formed a battle formation and marched into the Ice Ridge Valley.
The monsters in the valley have been wiped out by the thousands of players before, and a mighty team of more than 20,000 people arrived at the Ice Ridge Fortress.
As a commander, I have a unique perspective and can see everything on the front line. I saw that the gate of Ice Ridge Fortress was tightly closed. Even the few Ice Wolf Knights at the door did not know whether they were killed by the thousands of players before or retreated. After all, there was no one left. The fallen orcs in Iceridge Fortress had no intention of leaving the city for a decisive battle.
"The knights hold up shields and escort the swordsmen and mage archers up. The swordsmen are responsible for rushing to the city and knocking on the door. The mage archers provide long-range attack cover. We must suppress the long-range attacks from the city wall," my order was passed through a special channel. If this message is passed on, every player participating in the first wave of attacks will be able to receive it.
Wang Xuan held a battle ax and shouted loudly: "Brothers, for the common dream of all players in Chaoyang City, and for the glory of the War Emperor Palace, everyone rushes to me and fights to the death."
As the boss of the trade union, Wang Xuan is very smart. This kind of slogan can not only boost morale but also enhance the image of the trade union.
"For the common dream, for the glory of the War Emperor Palace, fight to the death," all the players in the War Emperor Palace shouted in unison with their eyes closed.
Aolong Batian also wanted to shout something exciting, but he probably didn't learn Chinese well since he was a child. After holding it in for a long time, he finally copied the slogan of Zhanhuang Palace and just changed the name of the union to Balong. As a result, this shout had no effect. Naturally, it's a big discount.
There is nothing that can be done about it. If the copied books sell better than the original books, it would be unreasonable.
The knights of the two major unions raised their shields above their heads and charged towards the fortress with roars. The loud shouts of death shook the old snow on both sides of the valley to fall, adding a bleak flavor to the war.
The lizardman archers on the fortress wall appeared one after another, and then with the sound of bowstrings, countless arrows poured down like locusts. The knights rushing in the first row were all shot into hedgehogs in an instant, and they all He fell to the ground and died.
The arrows were so dense that the priest's healing technique could not control the health of the knights in the front row.
The knights in the first row fell, but the team did not stop moving forward. Once the charge horn sounded, it was not easy to stop. The knights in the second row stepped on the corpses of their companions in front and continued to charge, and then in the second row, they continued to charge. Then he fell down amid the hail of arrows.
Then came the third row, the fourth row...
After paying a heavy price, they finally successfully covered the archers behind and entered an effective attack area.
The next moment, countless archers and mages in the player camp threw arrows and magic at the city wall.
Amidst the intensive arrows and magic attacks, white lights lit up one after another on the city wall, and countless lizardman archers fell down from the top of the city.
Then more lizardman archers appeared on the city wall, raising their longbows and raining arrows at the player's remote camp.
The defense and vitality of the mage archers were not as good as those of the knights, so they almost fell down in pieces under the baptism of arrows. The situation was so miserable that even I couldn't bear to look at it.
However, the sacrifices of a large number of mage archers finally showed their value. The knight swordsmen and fighting dwarves who finally took a breath were finally able to take the opportunity to rush to the city wall, waving their weapons and slamming the fortress gate.
