Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"The number of strangers is increasing."

"At the old spot, on the tallest building," Qin Shuiyan said with some emotion.

There was no romantic feelings involved; she was simply very grateful to her savior, which naturally made her feel closer to Heloise.

"Indeed, it's about twice as many as the day before."

"I estimate we'll be launching an attack on the Plain Valley base in about two days," Qin Shuiyan said with a sigh, smoothing her hair. "Altina, you came here for the mission, right? So, I think it's best if you don't get involved in the subsequent attacks."

"why?"

"Strangers are not afraid of death, so this battle, win or lose, will be extremely difficult, and the casualty rate will be shockingly high."

“So you don’t want me to join?” Heloise said.

"Yes." Qin Shuiyan nodded. "After all, you are my savior."

"..."

Heloise certainly won't participate in this battle; it's very likely that her mission will end here for now, if the entire advance team dies.

Qin Shuiyan asked, "Do you think strangers are reliable?"

"At least they're more reliable than those sand miners, aren't they?"

Heloise looked up and gazed into the distance.

Idly watching the flowers bloom and fade in the courtyard.

Let the clouds drift and gather in the sky.

An Ran was not in a dangerous place, so what happened next had nothing to do with her.

Chapter 16 Plains Valley Base Campaign

[Gathered, gathered, at the second gate of the settlement.]

What happened?

The Federation has called?

The Bloodstain guild's chat room, which had been completely silent a minute ago, suddenly erupted in a flurry of messages from all members.

These past few days, players from the guild faction have been coming over to harass them from time to time, making their lives miserable.

The Vesa faction players did devise countermeasures, but the Plain Valley base located below the canyon was not so easy to take down.

One side was surrounded by sandworms, making it impossible to break through.

The two sides are rugged and complex valleys. In fact, players in the Plain Valley base only need to defend one side.

The advance team arrived early without bringing any weapons of mass destruction, so there's no way the player could expect to have such a thing.

It was with this in mind that An Ran dared to undertake civil engineering projects at the Pingyuan Valley base.

Anyway, she doesn't lose money. She's gained a group of players, made a profit, and people are even happy to cheer her on and shout "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome"). Why not?

This time it's different, we're going to fight back!

The guild spokesperson sanguis's remarks sent a shiver down their spines and made everyone even more excited.

"Have we been assigned a mission by the Harassment Association?" someone asked.

No, this is a full-scale operation.

[A counterattack?]

That's right!

A group of people gathered in front of the big tree at the entrance of the village.

They are the elite members of the Bloodstain guild, who have followed their guild leader all the way to their third game. Even the newest members have 5 years of online gaming experience, and the guild ranks seventh among the top 50 two-star guilds.

777.

Warhammer Guild is ranked 16th.

The players in the Nagoria border region are mainly Aimeikan, but that doesn't mean there aren't players from other regions.

"Because of our good relationship with the advance team, we received a hidden mission," said the guild leader, Plasma, calmly.

Upon receiving the hidden quest, you're so excited you want to pounce on it?

It is really Tuyang Tusenbo Sam Thomas Neu.

Those of us who have experienced a lot can sum up in one word: stability!

"While the main force attacks the Plain Valley base from three directions, we will join several other squads to sneak past the sandworm nest and launch a surprise attack on the rear of the Plain Valley base."

"Isn't this a bit too risky?"

Pl Asma nodded: "The risks are indeed high, but the rewards are also very high, and the plant-based potions concocted by the Sand Scouts can temporarily block the sandworms' senses. Treat this like a dungeon; if we can 'break into the Plains Valley base' as quickly as possible, it will be very beneficial for us."

"When the dungeon system opens in the next version, we'll be back on our main battlefield. Before that, we can't let our guild's reputation tarnish."

"Ah."

The meeting was brief, but the guild's leadership had already reached a consensus.

The more real problem is that the order to assemble the advance team was given very quickly and abruptly.

There are too many strangers in the settlement of Elland, about four or five thousand people. When there is no management, it is a mess. They have taken over and have suppressed the sand miners to the point that they dare not speak loudly.

Gino was quite certain that there were enemy spies among the strangers, which was why he issued the order so hastily in order to reduce the enemy's reaction time.

The settlement of Edland was shaken as soon as the insect robots leading the way were released into three simple square formations.

"set off!"

This will be a battle involving tens of thousands of players!

With the cameras in place, the two directors directed from behind the scenes, the screenwriters improvised, and the actors rode in dune buggies, kicking up countless plumes of dust as they raced across the vast desert.

Smoke curls in the vast desert.

The last time so many players gathered together for a battle was on Kleber.

[A battle between wolves and the king insect! Is it an awakening of humanity, or driven by self-interest?]

Even now, the video still ranks second in player-made videos in terms of views, and it has the most comments in the history of "Night of the Stars".

The renowned gaming weekly studio "You're Making Game History" has always been at the forefront and has never been surpassed, even when it's copied, it remains unchallenged!

The difference is that last time, players worked together to defeat a non-humanoid boss, while this time, both sides are players.

The forces are currently in a state of equilibrium; if they were to fight on the sand, it would basically be a 50/50 situation.

It all depends on which side adopts the appropriate tactics to break the balance and tip the scales of victory.

Without a doubt, this will be the single faction battle with the most players since the game's launch, and also the faction battle with the highest player participation. Players are the main force!

"Welcome to episode 81 of 'You Are Creating the History of a Night of Stars,' I am your host Zheng Zhengfei."

"OK. Good recording. Start the live stream simultaneously, don't waste time."

"No problem!"

Professional production staff and a professional live streaming team.

Live streaming is a way for "Youyou" studio to attract traffic, while the "Game History" program is their flagship program for building a reputation for high-quality content.

They carefully divided the work, and each person chose a profession not for leveling up, but for the convenience of live streaming.

For example, mechanics study various convenient shooting props.

The moment you open "Niyou's" live stream, you'll see a huge difference between it and other live streams.

While other livestreamers filmed conversations in dune buggies and leaned out of their vehicles to film the desert, the livestreamers from "Youyou" went straight to the sky.

The aircraft you built yourself takes you flying, and the wide-angle lens captures the entire army gradually splitting into three groups.

There were only a few hundred dune buggies, but the dust they kicked up created the effect of a massive army.

[For some reason, it feels like I'm playing Total War 2077.]

[The God-like perspective is incredibly satisfying, and you can switch to a specific person at any time, provided you don't get shot down.]

"Don't panic, everyone. We have several streamers ready to fill in at any time, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about!"

They're here.

Anran, living in the City of Ether, opened the live stream and became one of the millions of viewers.

The information about the player attacking the Plains Valley base doesn't require much time to gather, but the fact that the advance team members are still temporarily staying in the Edland settlement requires Heloise to send back a message.

So, it's time for those who have been hiding to make some moves.

This refers to the members of the pirate guild who migrated to other places and went into hiding.

“The Adran settlement is quite empty right now. I’ll hold off those outsiders at the Plains Valley base. The rest is up to you,” Number 002 said expressionlessly.

Luo Wei said, "This is an excellent opportunity to destroy the enemy's advance force. We must strike decisively and not give them a chance to breathe."

"Leave this to our Boswell Pirate Crew," Boswell said, picking his teeth.

Having had enough of the troubles at Bureau 217, he was determined to take matters into his own hands and get rid of these annoying things.

Luo Wei shook his head: "It's too hasty. To avoid any accidents, it's better to send more people. Right now, the strangers' attention is on the Plain Valley base, which is perfect for our operation. We seem to have been silent for too long."

The final decision of the meeting was to organize a mixed force, led by Boswell.

As one of the founders of the federation, his insistence on personally taking charge left others with little room for objection.

"Although the situation looks great, there's still a sense of unease."

Ronne walked over to Rovey and whispered something.

“The person who came from Night Owl definitely has ulterior motives. But it’s okay, the Star Barrier has already responded to me. At least ANR shouldn’t do anything too outrageous before Vesa leaves.” Luo Wei smiled. “We’ll just quietly watch her performance and see how far she can go.”

"Brother, you are truly wise."

"How's the effort to win over the outsiders going?"

"It went fairly smoothly. I'll definitely give her a big surprise. If she doesn't do anything, that's fine too."
