Either due to differences in experience or knowledge, or due to mysterious codes rooted deep in genes, the difference in how people respond to others is generally very different, and sometimes it is even greater than the difference between people and animals.
The difference is even greater...
If, like other games, players can use public screen chat, private message chat and other extremely convenient communication methods, the job of "scout" would probably be relatively simple.
Anyway, you just need to send some careful or experienced people to investigate. If you find anything, you will send a message back as soon as possible. Compared with the pursuit of clues, the difficulty of conveying information is simply not worth mentioning...
But that’s just a case of “other games”~
In the campaign mode, most communication methods have returned to the primitive era of "everything depends on shouting". Players don't even have time to appreciate how many problems this will involve. However, now, they will pay the price immediately——
It is true that most of the middle and low-level undead are stupid, and even those at the lowest level can be said to have no brains at all, and even their "instinct" has been suppressed to the extreme. However, in terms of the execution of "orders", these extraordinary magical life forms also have
He has a firmness and persistence that is far more outrageous than ordinary creatures.
Ambushing in the woods in front of me at this moment, in addition to the most basic skeleton soldiers, zombie warriors and the like, there are also powerful units such as undead and black warriors that have broken away from the low-level sequence!
The order they received was simple: if humans didn't find anything strange, let them go into the woods, and then wait for orders from the superiors to launch a fatal sneak attack from behind the enemy, below! But if humans discovered anything, they would immediately launch a sneak attack.
offensive!!
In fact, regardless of whether the player knows the specific orders issued by the undead side to the lower-level soldiers, the basic quality of a "qualified scout" after discovering important information should be to stay as calm as possible, and then complete the task at hand as if nothing happened, and then
Then send back the information without alerting others as much as possible...
Especially the frontline scouts in wartime!
Because many times, the scouts on the front line of fierce battles between the two sides will be watched closely by the other side. Once you make any extraordinary move that attracts the other side's attention... doesn't this mean you are "inviting" them to intercept and kill you?
News like "Invincible Heroes: World of War" has to be sent all the way back. If the scout himself is robbed and killed, is there any point in finding out the clues?
However, perhaps a small number of elite high-level players have basically adapted to the various "unspoken rules" in the campaign mode, but a larger number of ordinary players, for a while, have the feeling of "I am a player" in their minds.
, the thought of "I'm playing a game" still lingers, and it always pops up at inopportune times to show its presence...
"Hey~~There are so many dead insects in the forest!!! There's nothing else!"
Since the people who went out to conduct reconnaissance this time were small teams sent by two families, Liu Yifei was so furious that he didn't even know which family sent the idiot who started yelling as soon as he exited the forest.
Can't tell the difference.
Just watching the few hundred people at the front of the team subconsciously turn around following the opponent's words, "waiting" for the commander at the back to give new instructions, Liu Yifei was ready to strangle the idiot in front.
——This guy is just selling his teammates naked on the battlefield!! Are you afraid that the enemy will not find your commander?!
However, before Liu Yifei could say anything, Lin Zi was already in a state of shock because of the scout's words!
For a moment, mud waves surged on the forest floor, as if there were thousands of small earth dragons struggling to emerge from the soil. Each one was either a white bone or withered, and their rotten arms and claws suddenly popped out of the ground, just like in a nightmare.
The ghostly hand eager to catch the target...
As soon as this noise came out, even the blind scouts knew that they had been ambushed. They yelled and exited the forest area, retreating anxiously while yelling to report the situation ahead.
But why do they still need to report at this time?
Just by looking at the way these people were escaping, Liu Yifei could guess the situation in the forest with his buttocks - in fact, there is nothing unusual about this. Necromancers have always liked to play such tricks. It seems that "let"
They will most likely "bury" ambushes in advance when they come out of favorable terrain...
If he hadn't suffered enough losses before, how could Liu Yifei insist on sending people out for reconnaissance just before the battle?
But as a result, the originally planned location to meet the enemy was no longer suitable for garrisoning, and it was even flanked by the enemy...
"Mission! Pick out the elites from your studio, and hurry up and take a look on our way! Old Tang, your guild will also select fifty people, and we want to be more elite!!"
"Is there... any problem with the back road? We just came all the way, and we also spread out manpower to investigate. There shouldn't be any problems."
Seeing Liu Yifei's expression of surprise and uncertainty, Tang Zhenting, who had entered the plot together, gave the first priority to convey the order, and then asked with some worry.
During the team's actions, it was the people from their Zhenguo Guild who were mainly responsible for the investigation along the way, that is, the core group of "veterans" who had made great contributions in the underground world of Standwick.
These people have all cooperated with Liu Yifei and are very responsible for their tasks. Therefore, even Tang Zhenting did not ask too many questions about the scouts before. However, Liu Yifei's current arrangement clearly shows that he has already understood the previous series of "the road is clear".
, there is no problem.” The result was doubtful.
"Don't worry, Old Tang. I'm just doing a routine inspection. Before the results come out, let's not rush to conclusions...
In this way, mission, you will lead the team in person on this trip. If you find that there are enemies copying the rear... you must have someone come back to deliver the message. Also, if there are enemies... they will probably be very powerful. Don't fight them, just follow them.
Consumption! How come you are so shameless? You can play as dirty as you want. You must buy time for the big team!!"
Although Liu Yifei said "don't worry", his remarks and instructions have already explained too much~
Now, let alone Tang Zhenting, even the face of the mission-defining person also looked bad - Liu Yifei made such an arrangement at the end, no doubt he wanted their elite to die and waste time...
"Mission, I know what you are struggling with. At worst, you can quit today's plot first. Our cooperation is not limited to this day. Why are you so anxious? If you are really dissatisfied... I will make up for you with something better in the future.
It’s just a plot mission~”
Since the penalty for "foreign aid" dying in plot missions is much lower, with such a guarantee, Mission Bida and other elites from Kuanglong Studio didn't say anything, and left the team one after another to start hurriedly exploring the way.
go.
On the other side, Liu Yifei ignored Tang Zhenting's inquiry and instead issued an order for the "entire army" to turn to the west - and that was the direction from which the army in the undead branch base came. At the end of this road
, waiting for everyone is undoubtedly the Nitang Village where the dark canopy has been re-erected~
When they saw that the human army suddenly divided, and one of them actually went back the way they came, within a moment, the undead that originally wanted to ambush the human side spread out like water in the woods, and a small group of the undead even more
Ignoring the sun's rays, I roared and chased after him!
"Stop!! Turn and cover friendly forces!!"
If it is the NPC army he leads, more than a thousand low-level soldiers will definitely make Liu Yifei collapse in a hurry. Because his own quality is too low, if he wants to command the low-level NPC troops like an arm, both players and high-level NPC generals will
A large number of low-level non-commissioned officers need to be coordinated, otherwise even a simple order such as stopping and returning to defense can cause an army formation with weak coordination to fall apart on the spot~
Player groups are much more convenient. After all, organizations such as guilds will have large and small teams, either following the group leader, or following the captain... and everyone's own quality will not be lower than that of the group leader.
It’s the same as the bottom-level blind flow in the game background. As long as it’s not so thrilling that your mind can’t wrap your head around it, most of the commands can still be executed by the player team.
Tang Zhenting was assisting with the command. Several players who were messengers did not even have to run. Players around him who heard the order consciously passed the request to the front. Soon the military formation of a thousand people stopped.
They gathered around the battle formation in a defensive posture, and a group of dozens of players began to nock arrows for the bows, crossbows and the like on hand.
In the entire Karava Castle, hundreds of combat crossbows can still be gathered together, but the problem is that these are all Morgues' only wealth, and they are treasures he dug out from his teeth bit by bit.
Considering how little attention the Greenfield area received in the past, there is no way to explain the low level of armaments here...
Liu Yifei predicted that there would be no return for this operation, so it was impossible to bring out the high-level weapons in the castle. Therefore, the dozens of long-range attack equipment currently were obtained from second-line soldiers or hunters.
"Collected" in hand.
With this, it can be said that the "military potential" of the Green Field area is about to be drained. One can only imagine what the current level of combat effectiveness of Karava is.
Therefore, Liu Yifei could only select dozens of players with the best shooting skills in the player team and entrust them with important tasks to temporarily piece together such a weak "long-range unit"...
However, although the quality of the large items in his hands was not good, the arrows and ammunition used by everyone were potions with weak purification effects prepared by Liu Yifei himself.
These things are simply worthless to Liu Yifei~
When we migrated the people before, we even spread them everywhere in order to create difficulties for the subsequent undead who want to occupy the land and use corruption and push tactics. Even if it only has a little effect, it is still good!
The effect of the potion soaked in arrow ammunition is even better, and the lethality against the undead will be increased accordingly.
"A ball, push it up! Attract the undead's attention!"
Liu Yifei gave an order, and dozens more players rushed out, roaring and killing the undead team charging in the diagonal stab.
But before they could get closer, these yelling guys started digging around on their bodies one by one, and then they turned out pitch black "little baggage" that was half the size of a fist - these were all those purification tools.
The final residue of the potion was soaked in the prepared potion before being brought out.
Although when it is the turn of this "small medicine bag" to soak in water, the potion's medicinal properties are probably attached to other weapons and arrows, but it will always have a "smell" that makes the undead uncomfortable.
The leader gave an order, and hundreds of medicine bags were thrown out in two rounds. Some of them were not even tied tightly. The knots fell apart halfway through the flight, and then there was a "whoosh" of messy residue.
A large piece flew away...
Not to mention, this little move that looks so low but not classy actually has surprisingly good results!
After all, although the undead are third-level creatures, they are more sensitive to light than skeletons and walking corpses because they lack the basic "flesh"~
They were already irritated by the sun, just following the orders of their superiors and forcibly chasing down those "escaping humans"... but suddenly a group of guys came out and scattered some things at them... that would make them feel sad.
!
After being touched by those inexplicable "garbage", the "virtualization" characteristic that the undead were proud of seemed to suddenly malfunction, and those parts contaminated by the things felt a strange "scorching heat"
Feeling! It’s like the living body feels burned by a cigarette butt~
If you are burned by a cigarette butt, you will even jump up uncontrollably. If you are burned all over by someone... don't say anything about your mother, you will probably want to dig up someone's ancestral grave!!
Therefore, a large number of the most seriously injured undead immediately changed their hatred targets. Each one of them was emitting a slight white smoke and roared towards them~
Seeing that they had attracted most of the enemy's attention, these players did not have any awareness of being "chased by ghosts". Instead, they cheered and turned around and ran away...
Players are like this. The same temperament can be good or bad under different circumstances - just like before, it was because they were too casual and did not pretend to be serious, so they became alarmed.
The undead lurking in the forest did not even leave any room for Liu Yifei to use his tactics...
However, they are also careless. At this moment, they are not like ordinary low-level NPCs. Once they are chased by the undead, they will cry for their fathers and mothers, and even their legs will become weak from fear... Instead, each of them seems to be quite...
Are you happy for that?
This state allowed the retreating "target group" to encounter no surprises and easily pulled the enemy into attack range.
next moment……
"put!!"
With a command, dozens of arrows flew into the sky. Although due to lack of uniformity, some were high and some were low, some arrows even missed the target at sight (after all, there is no automatic locking function like other games)... But generally speaking
It is indeed shrouding the opposite position~
That’s it!!
Liu Yifei is well aware of how difficult "shooting skills" are compared to the player group. There is absolutely no "genius" like a cupid among ordinary players. Under normal circumstances, the long-range firepower formed by players can provide stable
Effective coverage attacks are great, but don't even think about accurate locking attacks.
The arrows are covered in rain, and the power of dozens of them is a bit scary!
In particular, these arrows are all "added", and the power after hitting the target is so powerful that the undead themselves may not have expected it~
The arrows that were supposed to "disappear" smoothly hit the incorporeal undead spirits one by one, as if they had eyes, and the strange power emitted from the arrows made the spirit bodies of the undead spirits violent.
fluctuation!
Under normal circumstances, the mid-level undead would not necessarily be fine if shot by two or three arrows from the regular human army, but at this time, they were howling in agony after being hit by the opponent's garbage firepower.
However, look at the weak range...it doesn't look like it should be so powerful. The scene is so weird that Strong frowns...
Yes, it was Liu Yifei's guessed "Living Corpse General Strong" who was climbing to the highest point of the stronghold and looking at the battlefield from a distance!
Hiss needs to stay in Nitang Village to build a larger and more powerful Dark Canopy.
Naturally, Strong, who had gathered his troops, could not just sit back and wait, so he thought he might as well go out and open a base~
When it first learned that there was an "army" of humans coming from afar, Strong was actually a little solemn.
After all, their purpose of "sneaking in" this time was destined to be impossible to achieve. The human side actually almost completely wiped out the previous vanguard force, and even had no choice but to force Hiss to come on stage in advance and expose his trump card.
Although the two of them are one of the most powerful combinations in Diya, they are not afraid of their true identities being exposed... But the originally good enemy's overt and covert status was completely destroyed, which would make anyone else a little annoyed...
At the same time, Strong also had to worry that if the humans knew in advance that they had sent a very powerful lord, would they reinforce the area in front of them?
Now that the humans are taking the initiative to attack, Strong even wonders whether there will be legendary powerhouses coming from Erathia...
It wasn't until it used his poor calligraphy to detect it later that Strong suddenly became less worried - these stupid farmers! Do they think that thousands of people can fight against him if they just gather them together?
Absolutely ridiculous!!
And look at the order of their queues when they were marching... and their reactions that they didn't know anything about being spied on so obviously...
Strong judged that this was simply a mob that came to die!!
Since he had determined in advance that his opponent's level was not that good, Strong naturally only thought about how to "keep" as much of the materials delivered to his door as possible~
After all, for the undead...especially for powerful undead like it and Hiss, an army of more than a thousand farmers is just the best material~
When the time comes, we just need to kill them all, use the weak ones to turn into skeletons, and the stronger ones to leave behind the soul-calling zombies. The terrifying death energy and resentment that erupts when a large number of humans die are perfect materials for summoning the dead souls on the spot!
For a moment, Strong even felt that what was approaching him in the distance was an undead "reinforcement" of nearly a thousand people of the same size...
