Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The demons transformed into Dongyi bandits, formed a military formation, and surrounded the small county town from several directions.
As the demon army continues to approach, the players can also clearly see its specific composition.
Dongyi generals, rogues, shadow attendants, elite soldiers armed with barbarian knives, ordinary soldiers with simple spears, and even Dongyi bandits who look like ordinary civilians with pitchforks and hatchets.
Players have already fought against most of these enemies in the Trial Illusion.
But their state at this time is different from that in the trial illusion.
All the thieves are exuding black energy and their eyes are glowing black, which means that they are all possessed by demons!
Although the combat power of a single bandit soldier is definitely far less than that of the Dongyi general who invaded the historical slice before, it will still be quite troublesome.
Because after being possessed by demons, these bandits will increase in strength and speed. More importantly, they are not afraid of pain, will not flee, and have a strong will to fight!
Chu Ge couldn't help but frown slightly: "The gameplay of the Orderer's Expedition is more difficult than imagined!"
The official announcement has already previewed the mechanism of "The Orderer's Expedition". Players all know that this will be some kind of gameplay similar to large-scale team copies and national wars.
Before, everyone didn't pay much attention. All their attention was focused on the ultimate trial of 100% pain, and they were all trying their best to clear the rankings.
As for the gameplay of the Orderer Expedition, most players think that it is just a national war. They have seen it in other games. Multiplayer gameplay like this should be simpler.
After all, regular trial dungeons are all completed by a single player, so there is no way to mess around; but for the national war, because there are so many people, you should be able to clear the level smoothly just by messing around.
But now that they see this formation, the players realize that what they thought before is simple.
what game is this?
It's very difficult from beginning to end!
I have never heard of any game mode in "Dark Sand" that can be completed by just mixing.
Obviously the gameplay of large-scale national wars like the Orderer Expedition is the same!
Judging from the strength of the monsters we have seen so far, if the players are scattered and fighting on their own, they may not be able to defend it.
There are more and more players in the county, but most players are still in the stage of being curious about watching the show.
Some players climbed onto the city wall and looked curiously at the army of demons in the distance; some players wandered around the county, as if they wanted to see how various areas in the county had changed from before; some players finally saw other people in the dungeon.
I am a player and want to try it to see if I can do PK or something like that.
It's like a group of monkeys integrating into human society for the first time.
This is understandable. After all, only a few players participated in the offline "Monster Invasion" MR event. Most of them saw other players like themselves in this game for the first time. Didn't everything feel fresh?
?
But seeing an army of demons pressing down on the territory, such a mess is not enough.
What if the demon shows strength far beyond the players' expectations and collapses at the first touch?
Thinking of this, Chu Ge immediately climbed up to a high place and shouted loudly with great righteousness: "All players, please be quiet and listen to me!"
Other scribe players were also helping to maintain order, and soon the players became quiet.
New players will be summoned one after another, but the number of players has been roughly determined.
Chu Ge glanced around from a high place. At this time, the city walls, the roofs of the houses below, and the streets were all filled with players. It was so dark that they roughly estimated that there were more than 10,000 people.
Currently, the game "Dark Sand" has a total of 20,000 closed beta players, but not everyone can successfully clear the four novice trials, and not everyone can clear the original basic trial copy.
These more than 10,000 people should all be elite players who have cleared the basic dungeon of "The Decision Has to Be Closed".
As for the number of the demon army, it is roughly estimated that there are about 20,000 people. Although there are a large number of ordinary thieves holding simple spears and weak civilians holding pitchforks and hatchets to make up the number, in terms of quantity, it is obviously at the
The situation of being outnumbered and outnumbered.
If the players do not cooperate properly, there is still a high chance that the Orderer expedition will be lost!
The players all recognized Chu Ge, and they were all convinced by this big-shot player who had been exploring the game mechanics since the launch of "Dark Sand" and was the first to clear the challenge dungeon.
So he quickly became quiet and wanted to hear what Chu Ge had to say.
Chu Ge thought about his words for a moment, and then said: "Time is tight, so I will keep it short.
"According to the game settings, the few of us finally fulfilled our mission and successfully corrected this historical slice and broke through the demon's barrier. But next, the demon will launch a massive attack to take back this historical slice.
"Everyone must not take it lightly, because judging from the current situation, the power of the demon is stronger than us!
"The game "Dark Sand" is very difficult in any mode, and it is impossible to fool it. If we relax our vigilance, it is very likely that this city defense battle will fail!
"If this slice of history is recaptured, all our previous efforts will be in vain!
"The enemy is about to approach the city, and we don't have much time. If you can trust me, then I will temporarily take over the command and arrange the layout for this city defense battle!"
Valley
The players nodded one after another: "Agree! You take charge!"
They are all well-trained players, and naturally they all know the importance of having a good command in this kind of team battle activity.
At present, Chu Ge is indeed the best candidate to serve as conductor.
After Chu Ge thought for a while, he immediately put together the arrangements he had thought of before.
"First of all, everyone is asked to form a formation spontaneously. Every five people form a small team, every forty people form a team, and every twenty-five teams form a thousand-man team.
"Time is tight and we don't have time to divide them carefully, so we organize them based on the principle of proximity. We can probably form ten teams of a thousand people.
“When organizing teams, pay as much attention as possible to the professional mix, ensuring that each team has at least one scribe and one assassin.
"In addition, I need one thousand-man team composed purely of ranger and assassin players.
"Four thousand-man teams guard the four directions of the city wall respectively. Two thousand-man teams serve as reserves in the city for timely support. The assassin's thousand-man team is looking for favorable terrain in the city to prepare for street battles and sneak attacks. The ranger's thousand-man team can try
After going out of the city to attack the enemy's flanks and rear, the remaining two thousand-man troops were responsible for guarding important areas in the county, namely the theater market and the area near the county government.
"Everyone, please gather at the designated location. Players who rank higher on the list and are confident in their commanding abilities can nominate themselves as team captains or captains!
"Everyone should remember that city defense map and don't let any gaps appear in their respective defense lines!
"It's a pity. It would be great if there was a team UI or a mini-map in this game..."
Meng Yuan, standing next to Chu Ge, nodded silently: "Well, that makes sense..."
As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, he found that an aerial view of the county town actually appeared in his field of vision!
There are densely packed light spots on the map, which represent each player. Players with different professional status have different colors of light spots.
Under Chu Ge's command, these players began to spontaneously gather in different areas. On the four city walls, markets, theaters, county offices and other key locations, teams of a thousand people were quickly formed.
Assassin and ranger players also spontaneously formed two thousand-man teams according to the situation, while other assassins and rangers were organized into regular queues.
The players on the list are highlighted directly on the small map in the field of vision. There are a total of fifty players on the list. Even if you exclude those players who don't like to command, it is enough to select ten captains.
As for the team leader and team leader, it all depends on self-awareness.
After all, these players are all high-quality players. They were quickly organized under Chu Ge's command, and they were able to spontaneously optimize the team configuration.
"We are short of scribes here! Are there any extra scribe players? Please come over here, a dozen will be enough!"
"The east wall is short of soldiers! At least thirty more!"
"Everyone from the Thousand Assassins Team is coming with me! Let's check out a suitable location for an ambush!"
"Is there any team without a scribe?"
"Scribe players, please don't waste Haoran's righteous energy. Let's get buffs together later when the fight starts!"
It was chaotic at first, but as each formation settled down, the players began to become more orderly.
Chu Ge was a little surprised: "This game can actually activate hidden mechanisms?
"Not only is the map activated and the player's position on the map is displayed, but now the chat channels of the squad, team and thousand-man team are automatically activated?"
He found that the squad, team and thousand-man team he belonged to were all marked with special icons on the map, making them clear at a glance.
Not only that, he can also freely switch between teams, teams and thousands-man teams through his thoughts. If he says a word casually, people in the team can hear it clearly, but other teams will not be affected.
It simply comes with its own voice channel.
“This game has quite a lot of mechanics, right?
"If it were pure simulation, it would really not be very friendly to players. Just organizing these people into formations would be troublesome, and it is completely beyond the capabilities of the players' commanders. But now, there are formations similar to those in games.
Players can quickly adapt to the mechanism.
"The design of this game is pretty good."
At this time, Meng Yuan, who was standing next to Chu Ge, silently complained: "Well, the mechanism can be added at any time, can it not be enriched..."
After the barrier of this historical slice has been broken down, the power of the Orderer can be unimpeded, whether it is teleporting players on a large scale or empowering players, it has become possible.
With the help of the Orderer's power, the players' pain sensation was finally suppressed to 20% again.
It would be even easier to add a map and a team chat channel in their field of vision.
Meng Yuan knew it well, and he still counted on the players to repel the demon's attack. Of course, he had to provide logistical support as much as possible so that the players could fight in the way they were most familiar with and accustomed to.
Soon, under the command of Chu Ge, the players each came to the area they wanted to guard. The county town, which was a mess just now, was now in order and armed to the teeth!
And the bandit army, which was pressing down on the city like a dark cloud, finally came to the city.
