Chapter 269 Lin Xuns back-up plan to disarm the castle tower
Lin Xun entered the Easter egg chapter alone.
[The powerful wandering soul awakens next to the demon-suppressing monument...]
【Do you want to recruit six star kings? 】
Although the other star kings can be summoned at this time, they cannot immediately carry out the last three waves of defense. There is still one day before the next demon invasion.
[You are the only one in the huge demon-suppressing altar. The traces of the battle between the altar and the Cloud Bridge have disappeared without a trace. Even the damaged portal of Tianshu Immortal Palace has been completely repaired. 】
[The seven fairy palaces are blooming in the clouds and mist, and there is no trace of the brutal fighting that they experienced an hour ago...]
The rule to resist the invasion of heavenly demons is to protect the heavenly gate of the fairy palace. The fall of more than half of the fairy palaces means the resistance fails.
Lin Xun's plan was to voluntarily give up the defense of the three immortal palaces.
Except for him who still guards Tianshu Palace, the other apostles work in pairs to guard the three immortal palaces.
Although this will not objectively change the number of demons, the number of demons that can pass through Yunqiao at the same time is limited. The number of demons faced at the same time by one-person defense and joint defense by two people is the same.
With two Star Lord apostles guarding a fairy palace together, the difficulty of the chapter dropped by more than half!
However, this tactic also has major drawbacks. First, there is no room for maneuver in the defense. If the Star Lord's apostles do not cooperate well and any one of the four immortal palaces falls, it will be directly judged as a failure of resistance.
Second, voluntarily giving up the defense of the three fairy palaces will lower the clearance evaluation.
Not only will the overall evaluation be lowered, but the personal evaluation of the Star Lord apostles who guard the three fallen palaces will also fall to the bottom.
As a result, the reward increase brought by increasing the difficulty of the chapter is almost nonexistent, and the reward you get in the end may not be as good as the original...
Lin Xun proposed such a plan, which was seen by several apostles as a helpless move and a compromise on the difficulty of the underworld game.
Although this can indeed greatly increase the probability of passing the level, the previous operation of increasing the difficulty is undoubtedly a failure and is a useless effort.
As a group of Lin Xun's relatives and friends, Li Xingyue, Wang Zong, and Lu Caiyi took the initiative to lower their personal evaluation, that is, they voluntarily gave up their fairy palace.
As supporters of increasing the difficulty, Shangguan Yu and Yin Linlin also proposed lowering their personal evaluations.
Several people couldn't argue about this, and they debated in the conference room for a long time before finalizing the candidate.
No one blamed Lin Xun for raising the difficulty level. Everyone was already an official apostle and one of our own. There was still the possibility of forming a group in the future. There was no need to create an embarrassing situation just because of the failure of an Easter egg chapter.
Lin Xun didn't say a word the whole time.
After returning home and entering the Easter Egg Chapter again, he secretly implemented his plan.
In fact, after giving up the three immortal palaces, he still had a back-up plan, but he was not sure about the success rate of the back-up plan.
Moreover, the back-end plan is so bold that if it is told, the other Star Lord apostles will probably be stunned and say, "Impossible, absolutely impossible," and thus oppose the implementation of the back-end plan.
The specific content of the back-up plan is very simple and crude, that is, Lin Xun alone... guards the four fairy palaces!
Except for the Tianshu Palace that he was originally guarding, he alone guarded the remaining three immortal palaces that he was about to give up!
Lin Xun began to prepare for the plan...
After working hard in the afternoon, until the sun was setting, and then the moon was at the top of the sky until late at night, I finally completed the preparations for the Easter Egg chapter.
Finally, he went to the library and spent a lot of money to buy a skill book before announcing that everything was ready, just waiting for the invasion of the demons to begin tomorrow.
After all preparations were completed, Lin Xun returned to the orthodox chapter and began tonight's trip to the castle tower...
[You remain invisible and move along the mountain road...]
[The mountain road is silent under the moonlight. You can only see the light of torches in the distance, which is an inspection checkpoint composed of a group of elite warriors. 】
[There are more than ten checkpoints on the road from the foot of the mountain to the castle tower on the top of the mountain. Each checkpoint is very tightly defended, with fully armed warriors, well-trained wolf dogs, and warning barriers. 】
[If someone needs to visit the lord of the city, he will not only need documents to go up and down the mountain, but also have to remove his armor and sword and walk up the mountain.]
[At night, compared to when you enter the castle tower openly during the day, there are more than twice as many samurai on duty at the checkpoint. 】
[It must be your assassination during the day that caused the castle lord Daimyo to send more samurai to guard the road up the mountain. 】
[You did not rely on escape skills to forcefully break through the levels, but chose a safer approach...]
[You throw the 'Ninja Hook Rope' high, there is a crisp clang sound, the sharp claws pierce one side of the mountain wall, and you climb up the nearly vertical mountain wall along the rope. 】
[After climbing to the end of the rope, he pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and inserted it into the mountain, fixed his body, and threw the 'ninja hook' upward again...]
[By repeating this, you will bypass many checkpoints and get closer and closer to the castle tower on the top of the mountain...]
【……】
[You finally reach the top of the mountain, not far away are the tall city walls and gates. 】
[The number of warriors on duty at the city gate is even greater. On the city wall, every five steps there are elite warriors holding torches and carrying powerful crossbows...]
[Bold Apostle, what is your next move?]
[1. With your extraordinary escape skills, you can break into the city gate directly. Perhaps the warning barrier cannot penetrate your enhanced ‘Tianyin Escape Skill’. 】
[2. Continue to use the ‘ninja hook’ to climb over the city wall. Maybe the many warriors on the city wall will not notice the use of the hook. 】
[3. Hibernate here, quietly waiting for a better opportunity to sneak in...]
Tonight's action must only succeed and not fail!
Even though the chance of being discovered by the ninja master was very low, Lin Xun still chose a safer approach.
The assassination operation during the day has doubled the defense strength of the castle tower. If the assassination fails again, the castle tower may never be conquered again.
[You escape into the shadows, hide your figure, and quietly wait for a better opportunity to sneak in...]
【……】
[You look at the towering castle tower inside the city wall. The top floor of the castle tower is brightly lit, and dozens of craftsmen are setting up ladders to repair the damaged roof. 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [During the fierce battle during the day, the roof of the castle tower was severely damaged, and the dragon's fall also caused the guard tower near the castle tower to suffer varying degrees of damage.
Recruiting a group of craftsmen to repair all night long...]
[The tips of your ears twitched and you heard some movement coming from the mountain road behind you.]
[When I turned around, I saw a group of warriors on horseback escorting dozens of people up the mountain. 】
[As they get closer, you can clearly see the clothes of the dozen or so people. They seem to be craftsmen who come to repair the roof of the pavilion.]
Lin Xun's eyes lit up.
Don't hesitate to seize this excellent opportunity.
[You turned around, opened a pair of dark eyes, and disappeared without a trace...]
【……】
[The warrior who led the team came to the city gate and ordered the craftsmen to be interrogated again... After the craftsmen took off their clothes for inspection, the warrior who led the team breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the leader's position to the warrior leader at the city gate. ]
[After the assassination during the day, the samurai did not dare to take it lightly. If it were not for the instructions of the retainers, distinguished guests would come to the door in two days, and the craftsmen were urgently needed to repair the castle tower. The samurai did not dare to let the craftsmen go up the mountain to repair it at this time of turmoil.
】
[The family members of these craftsmen have been secretly controlled. They were also checked at all levels when they went up the mountain. Apart from the clothes on their bodies, they were not allowed to bring anything else with them. 】
[While the craftsmen are repairing the roof of the pavilion, there will be samurai guards and surveillance throughout the process. If anyone dares to make any overstep, not only will he be killed on the spot, but the craftsman's family will also die. 】
【……】
[You are at the end of the team, controlling the body of a strange craftsman, lowering your head and following the team into the city gate smoothly...]
[You look up and see that the castle tower is still magnificent and tall under the protection of the giant barrier.]
[The defense at the top of the four nearby watchtowers has become even tighter. Not only has the number of warriors on duty increased significantly, but the number of ballistas ready to go has also increased from more than ten to more than twenty. ]
[Under the coverage of the powerful arrows of numerous ballistae, there are no fire blind spots around the castle tower. 】
[You just looked up and watched for a while, and the samurai whipped you, scolding you to follow the team and keep moving forward.]
[As the second batch of craftsmen, you need to repair a few low guard buildings in the distance.]
[Although the dragon did not directly hit the guard tower when it fell, the huge impact of the fall caused several guard towers to suffer varying degrees of damage.]
【Are you going to explode on the spot, or continue to lurk? 】
"The threats from the four watchtowers must be eliminated..."
There are five or six large ballistas on each watchtower. It is really difficult to destroy many ballistas silently without causing alarm.
Lin Xun chose to continue to lurk, and then many craftsmen entered different guard buildings in batches to carry out repair work.
He and five craftsmen were assigned to the same guard building. There were a total of six craftsmen, but there were twelve warriors supervising the work.
【……】
[You are in the dormitory on the ground floor of the guard building, which is a resting place for warriors. However, there are only two craftsmen and four warriors in the dormitory at this time, and the rest are working in other dormitories. ]
[You are sawing wood and preparing to repair the windows under the watchful eyes of two warriors.]
【Under repair...】
【……】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and was ready to take action immediately.
As long as he quickly kills the four samurai and another craftsman without making too much noise, he can use the possessed samurai's body to carry out his next plan.
Taking a deep breath, I was about to switch bodies, but I saw the game text suddenly jump.
[The sound of footsteps was heard outside the dormitory, and then an old man in rich clothes pushed the door open and entered.]
[When the four warriors saw this, they quickly bowed and saluted with humble expressions.]
[‘The fire worshipper of the Ogiwara family’ glances around the dormitory, then comes to you and asks you about the progress of the repairs. 】
[When you look at this person, you know that he has a high position and power. For you who have a low status, such a person is someone you need to look up to. 】
[The ‘Ogihara family elder’ asked carefully, then turned around and left, inspecting the next dormitory...]
[The samurai sighed in a low voice. The boss of the family really fulfilled his duties. He was in charge of the fortifications of the castle tower and even came to inspect the craftsmen in person...]
Lin Xun's eyes lit up.
The Ouchi Chief Superintendent in charge of fortifications?
Originally, he had a headache on how to get rid of the threat from the four watchtowers. Now if he could get this body, wouldn't the subsequent assassination operations be like searching for something?
"The decision is yours!"
Lin Xun acted decisively.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Heartless Ninja Master’! 】
[The four warriors were shocked. Just as they were about to draw their swords and shout, they saw a sharp sword light flash by! 】
[The four warriors and the craftsmen beside you clutched their throats and collapsed on the ground, dying quietly and silently...]
Lin Xun possessed several corpses in the dormitory one by one, then stripped off the equipment and discarded the bodies, leaving only a warrior body for possession.
The operation of discarding the body will make the corpse disappear, which is equivalent to the best way to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces.
[You left the dormitory and came to the corridor, and happened to meet the ‘Ogihara family elder’ coming out after inspecting the next dormitory.]
[The shoji door of the dormitory has not yet been closed, and there are several samurai and craftsmen inside.]
[The ‘Ogihara family elder’ frowned when he saw you leaving your post without permission, and he was about to reprimand you loudly...]
【How should you answer?】
[1. My dear sir, I need to go to the toilet urgently. If you don’t mind, why don’t you go with us? 】
[2. My lord, the identity of the craftsman just now seems a bit suspicious, please go and question him again. 】
[3. Sir, please take a look at this newly purchased sword. Can you please put a head on your neck to test the sharpness of the sword? 】
Lin Xungang was about to press the third option as usual, but suddenly woke up.
He quickly removed his finger and pressed the second option, secretly saying that it was dangerous.
"I almost got tricked by the underworld game again."
[You quickly interrupted the elder’s scolding, and said solemnly that the craftsman you were monitoring was very suspicious. He secretly communicated with another craftsman, maybe he was planning something...]
[You don’t dare to kill him privately, lest there is a shocking conspiracy hidden behind him, so please ask the boss to interrogate him in person! 】
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [The ‘Ogiwara family elder’ was shocked when he heard this and quickly returned to your dormitory with you. 】
[The person who assassinated the castle lord's name during the day was the famous ninja master in Sakura Fall. Even though the castle tower was heavily defended, it was useless in front of the ninja master. The head of the family did not blame it for this, but the old man still felt guilty. 】
[Now that it hears about the craftsman’s secret plot to assassinate him, how can it still hold back the anger in its heart?]
[It drew out the sword from its waist, opened the shoji door, and strode in...]
[There is no one in the dormitory, and three warriors and two craftsmen have disappeared.]
[The ‘Ogiwara Family Patriarch’ was shocked and was about to turn around to question you, but he saw that the shoji door behind him had been silently closed at some point, and your figure had disappeared! 】
[The bright sword flashes!]
[It only felt severe pain in its chest. When it lowered its head, it saw a sharp blade coming out of its back. 】
[The ‘Ogiwara family elder’ wanted to open his mouth and scream in pain, but an old palm covered his mouth and nose, making him unable to speak...]
[An old face appeared in front of it, it was the ‘Ninja Master’ who looked like a ghost Shura! 】
[Until his death, the ‘Ogiwara family elder’ could not make any sound. 】
[You defeated the ‘Fire-Worshipping Ogiwara Family Patriarch’, and your experience points increased slightly. 】
[You have obtained the ‘Boundary Token of the Castle Tower’ (key)]
[You look at the dead old man in gorgeous clothes in front of you...]
['Fire worshipper of the Ogiwara family': One of the family elders of the Ogiwara family. As the most trusted elder of the daimyo castle, he is in charge of many defenses in the castle tower. It ranges from arranging patrols of samurai on duty to the maintenance of a large number of ordnance.
, including the close bodyguards of the Lord of Daimyo were also chosen by it. It died from a fatal blow that penetrated the heart. Resistance: 120% (55%)]
【Do you want to possess this body? 】
Lin Xun smiled slightly and pressed the possession option.
The elder's attributes were higher than those of ordinary samurai, but he couldn't resist the ninja master's stealth backstab.
It has the invisibility 1.5 times critical hit effect of the 'Diablo Mask', plus the high bonus of 'Weakness Insight' to see the flaws, and the damage of the epic assassination skill 'Tsukiten Izayoi', and finally uploading is required.
Talk about the power of the level weapon 'Ryuken Masamune'.
The only monster that can withstand the backstab of the 'Ninja Master' is the BOSS.
He left the guard tower carrying the body of the 'Ogiwara family elder'. The samurai on duty along the way all bowed and saluted when they saw him.
Lin Xun came to the castle tower again. This time he did not enter the castle tower directly, but went to the watchtower on the side first.
【……】
[The warriors stationed at the bottom of the tower salute you and do not dare to stop you from climbing to the top to inspect.]
[The tower is a hollow-style building with no stairs for climbing to the top, only a rope lift that relies on human power.]
[You board the lift in the center of the tower. Amidst the shouts of the warriors on the top floor, the lift slowly rises...]
【Not long after, you arrived at the top of the tower. 】
[The cold wind howls at night. In order to facilitate the shooting of the ballistae, there is no fence on the top of the tower. The torches in the hands of dozens of warriors illuminate six giant ballistae. 】
[The crossbow is equipped with crossbow arrows as thick as tree trunks, and the arrows are sharp and ferocious. Just one crossbow arrow requires the combined efforts of three warriors to pick it up and load it.]
[Before the crossbow bolt is launched, a group of warriors will also inject their own ‘disaster karma fire’ into the crossbow bolt, greatly increasing its power. 】
[This is an out-and-out weapon for defending the city. It is targeted by more than ten ballistae at the same time. Even the legendary monsters can only avoid its sharp edge. 】
[You look around and order the warriors to unload the crossbow bolts and transport them to the armory along with the dozens of thick crossbow bolts piled aside. 】
[As soon as this order came out, all the warriors looked at each other.]
[At a time when the situation is turbulent, it is a bit contrary to common sense for the family boss in charge of defenses to issue such an order. 】
[You see that all the warriors are reluctant to take action, their eyes are wide-eyed, and they are scolding, this is the order of the family master, who dares to disobey?!]
[The head of the family felt that the crossbow bolts were not powerful enough, so he ordered the crossbow bolts to be transported to the armory and coated with poison to increase their power... As a retainer warrior, just obey the order! 】
[Although the samurai still have doubts, this is an order from the family elder and the Lord of the City, so they have no choice but to obey it. 】
[Soon, your order was conveyed to the remaining three watchtowers. 】
[For a time, the lifting platform went up and down, back and forth, and many warriors were sweating profusely from exhaustion. They carried the thick crossbow arrows and transported them to the armory of the guard building...]
[You overlook the busy scene below. With a few orders, you have successfully eliminated the most deadly threat of the ballista in the castle tower. 】
"The next step is to kill the city lord's name!"
Lin Xun left the watchtower and came to the castle tower.
