How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

After clearing out most of the monsters around, Lucina seemed to be vaguely aware of the current problems and difficulties. She let the army rest for a while, and then discussed with the elite clergy of the church and several captains, but no results were reached for a while.

Just when Lucina was feeling a little distressed, a sweet voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Sister Lucina seems to be in distress. Is it because of the military?" I walked over with Kai and Shim and stood in front of each other.

Lucina nodded, not intending to hide anything from me, "Yes, Your Highness Sophielina, although the army can still deal with these monsters, it is clear that a problem has been exposed."

"That's because they are too bulky. In this dimly visible environment, coupled with the characteristics of these monsters, they often fall into chaos even with command."

At this point, Lucina paused, and put her thumb on her lips as if she was hesitating. "My idea is to divide the army into small teams to fight. This way, we can effectively avoid this terrible situation."

I was a little surprised. As expected, someone who was appointed by Isabella as the temporary commander of the battle must be very capable. He came up with the best solution so quickly. "In that case, what are you still worried about, Sister Lucina?"

Lucina shook her head. "But there are still big problems with doing this. If we encounter a sudden accident, the team that cannot be assembled in a short time will suffer heavy losses, especially when we don't know the movements of the evil spirit corpse princess. This situation is very risky."

I couldn't help but feel ashamed that she had even considered such an aspect. However, what she couldn't have guessed was that the evil corpse princess she was talking about was actually right in front of her.

"Well, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's feasible." I thought about it and said aloud.

Lucina was obviously curious, "Your Highness, please speak."

"My idea is similar to that of Lucina-sister. We both divide the army into small teams to disperse them for easier operations. With the ability of a commander, we can also conduct simple command."

"And we have a scout group. It is best for each team to have at least one scout to help detect the surroundings. This way, we can avoid the unexpected situations that Sister Lucina mentioned as much as possible. With scouts to help exchange intelligence, we don't have to worry about the Evil Corpse Princess ambushing most of the troops."

This concise analysis made Lucina nod her head, but she seemed a little hesitant. "Your Highness's suggestion is feasible, but we have to fight against more than just the evil spirit corpse princess. If we disperse our forces like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with the unknown threats ahead."

"Why don't we let others take the risk for us?" I smiled slightly and winked at the other party meaningfully.

"Your Highness, are you referring to... those adventurers?" Lucina was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"If there is enough reward, those adventurers can do anything~"

Lucina suddenly felt that the lovely person in front of her seemed to be a little more sinister than she had thought.

However, this proposal was in line with Lucina's idea. After hesitating for a moment, she summoned several captains and divided the army into more than 60 teams.

The number of people in each team is basically around twenty-five, which ensures that there is at least one scout in the team who can be responsible for gathering surrounding intelligence.

After making such arrangements, she also issued tasks to the large group of players that had been following behind.

System: Do you accept the mission [Detection within the ruins]?

Mission: Detection within the ruins (special mission)

Mission Description: Temporary commander Lucina is worried about unexpected situations and hopes that adventurers can help the army detect whether there are dangers ahead in the swamp and eliminate monsters as much as possible.

Mission objectives: Clear the monsters in front of the army and detect intelligence

Mission Reward: Increases the contribution gained when a monster is killed. Every time the army learns the intelligence, all players gain a certain contribution.

Special mechanism: A teleportation array is added at the entrance of the ruins. After the player dies, he can be randomly teleported to any military squad through the teleportation array.

All the players following the army received such a prompt. After reading the content of the task, most of them became excited. After all, their main purpose of following the army was to pick up some bargains.

This mission directly increased the benefits of killing monsters, so why not do it? What's more, the special mechanism greatly facilitated their actions. So, under the leadership of their respective guild leaders, they directly passed the army and went to explore forward.

"Qingqiu, what do you think?" Aurora and Paradise Lost naturally also received such a task. Qingyu asked the pretty girl next to him.

"This is a blatant attempt to use us as cannon fodder~" Yili Qingqiu looked at the description of the mission with a light tone.

"Then we can't just sit there and watch, right?"

"Of course not." Yili Qingqiu shook his head, smiled slightly, and told about his own arrangements.

……

……

Send it to the group and pineapple circles at around 1 o'clock.

Chapter 70: Boss Monster

Yili Qingqiu's layout is not complicated, but it is just right.

She also divided the twenty or so regiments brought by Paradise Lost and Aurora, nearly 1,200 people, into more than 160 teams just like the military. Each team had about eight people, and did not force a normal professional configuration.

A thief can be registered in any team and is guaranteed to make contributions, but he does not need to participate in battles. He is responsible for acting as a spy and roaming around in various areas to communicate with other thieves to obtain the team's location, or the coordinates of the player who is teleported back after death.

Players who are teleported back after death can use this information to quickly catch up with the nearest team, or form a new team with nearby players who teleported back at about the same time.

This will not only improve efficiency, but also ensure the safety of its members in the swamp to a certain extent.

"The logistics department and the intelligence department have been resting for a long time, and it's time for them to move around. Sister Qingyu, please help contact your people and then set up an online group to summarize the intelligence."

Yili Qingqiu stretched lazily, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest. Although in the dim environment, not many people could see such a beautiful view.

But she seemed to suddenly think of something and added a sentence.

"By the way, each person only has five chances per day. Remember to avoid fighting on the fifth time. Don't blindly become a scapegoat for the army. There may be a big drama later~"

Aurora and Paradise Lost immediately started operating under Yili Qingqiu's orders. Although other guilds might not be as organized as Yili Qingqiu, they also had their own arrangements.

The atmosphere in the entire swamp suddenly became extremely heated after Lucina's mission was released, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of these players to actively participate.

Regardless of the situation on the players' side for now, the army did find it easier to cope after they were divided into small teams.

It's like a serious tumor is differentiated into itchy lumps, which are numerous but not fatal. After all, small-scale confrontations are suitable for battles in such complex environments.

What's more, the army led by Lucina is strong in itself, and with the commander's ability, Lucina's command can be generally transmitted to each team leader. Although there is no need for command, each team leader can deal with their own situation by relying on their own responses.

It took only a few hours to advance to the middle of the swamp.

The advantages of this form of warfare can be seen from the fact that even when advancing to the middle section of the swamp where elite monsters exist, the army as a whole has no difficulty dealing with them. As a core figure in it, I naturally formed a team with Kaishim, Lucina, and the elite clergy sent by the church, and enjoyed the highest level of protection.

At noon, when the surrounding teams were taking a break to eat dry food, he also used the excuse of meditation training to log off for lunch and then hurriedly log on to continue advancing with the army.

"Your Highness's suggestion is indeed extraordinary."

After swinging her sword to chop off the Elite Giant Shield Bug's solid shell and taking away all of its remaining health, Lucina wiped the sweat from her forehead, stepped back a little from the front line, turned around and smiled at me.

"I just helped to add some details. Even without me, Sister Lucina would have thought of it." I waved my staff and bestowed some blessing effects on the other party. Although the effect was weak, it was better than nothing.

"No matter what, Your Highness has been of great help..."

Lucina wanted to say something, but she noticed my nervous expression and blurted out "Be careful behind you". She subconsciously looked behind her and happened to see a vine that suddenly swept over.

Although it was not fatal, the result after being hit was equally embarrassing. Lucina wanted to dodge but it was too late. Fortunately, at this moment a figure suddenly rushed over and put up a huge shield. He used the domineering effect brought by the instant blocking to block this attack, which was obviously a counterattack from a certain explosive mother tree or its sapling before its death.

"Ms. Lucina, you'd better be as careful as possible on the battlefield." Kai, who arrived in time, reminded.

"Sorry." Lucina coughed, her face slightly red. At this moment, she looked a bit like an ordinary girl of her age, but as if to hide her embarrassment, she quickly focused her attention on the battle on the other side.

He is a qualified commander in combat, but he seems a bit reckless and effeminate in normal times. It's quite a contrast.

I secretly complained, thinking that if this kind of character was given to two sisters to publish, it would definitely sell for a very good price. As for what type of publication it is, you don't need to know.

Shim next to me seemed to want to say something and was about to come over, but I noticed it in time and warned him with my eyes.

Only then did Shim notice his own condition and couldn't help sticking out his tongue in embarrassment. He quickly used Purification to clear the fire effect on his body. Then he came closer and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, isn't this too convenient for them?"

You used to complain that the monsters I designed were disgusting, and now that I’ve given you the “strategy” you complain that it’s too easy. Don’t you deserve a beating?

I rolled my eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, they haven't encountered the mechanism I really designed for them yet. Now these are just child's play, just appetizers."

Yes, until now the situations encountered by the army are just the mechanisms that I designed before. The situations that I arranged for the army yesterday have not yet been displayed. I believe that I will be able to give the other party a complete surprise at that time.

Or rather, it’s almost like that now.

As soon as I finished speaking, a scout came hurriedly from the front of the swamp, came to Lucina's side and reported all the intelligence detected by the players.

Lucina's expression changed from surprise at first to excitement later. She waved to let the other party continue to check the information, and immediately walked towards me. "Your Highness, there are several boss-level monsters ahead. What do you think?"

I didn't expect to meet you so soon, hehe~

That's right, these monsters were created by himself through advancement, and were deployed here to block the army.

I suppressed the smile on my lips and tilted my head, "Sister Lucina looks like she really wants to deal with these monsters?"

"Because as long as we get rid of these boss-level monsters, we can pave the way for the subsequent offensive, and this operation can be considered an achievement." Lucina said excitedly with her fists clenched.

After all, the monsters they had killed along the way will soon reappear, but boss-level monsters are different. Although they are powerful, their numbers are scarce. Killing one means one less, which can be considered a full gain.

But is it really that easy to achieve?

Moreover, the boss monster in the cemetery of the Demon King's City will be resurrected every three days or so. You solved it this time, but it will be resurrected again during the second attack next week.

"Well, I agree with Sister Lucina." So faced with such a request, I naturally had no reason to refuse.

……

……

Kuang Dai has uploaded it to the group and Pineapple Circle. If you think it’s okay, please give it a thumbs up and vote for it (????)?

Chapter 71: Please don't set a flag before the war begins

Although it was just a symbolic inquiry, Lucina seemed very happy after receiving my approval.

After a brief discussion with several captains nearby, he used his ability as a commander to order all the scattered teams to gather in the middle and roughly assemble the team.

Soon, the shadows of many teams began to appear around, with each team about ten yards apart.

After receiving the information that the farthest team was only two hundred yards away from the team in the middle, Lucina finally ordered to advance as fast as possible.

As the surrounding monsters were quickly cleared out with a spearhead-like advance, in less than half an hour, the army arrived at the area where the boss-level monster mentioned in the intelligence obtained by the players appeared.

Under the light of the fluorite lanterns provided by the team of players in front, dozens of huge figures stood in the open swamp like hills. Against the backdrop of the dark environment, they looked like guardians of the dark world.

Even without looking at the picture, just the string of names alone has a strong pressure -

Demonization - Mutated Explosive Rock Tree [Boss]: Level 20, HP: 29287/30000

Demonization - Giant Shield King Bug [Boss]: Level 20, HP: 34797/35000

Demonization - Corrupted Wood Spirit Elder [Boss]: Level 20, HP: 27439/28000

Mutated Explosive Tree [Boss]: Level 20, HP: 14788/15000

Screaming Gargoyle [Boss]: Level 20, HP: 12946/13500

……

According to the information obtained from the players, there are a total of seventy-four bosses, including nine monsters with special suffixes called demonization. Just from their unique appearance and twice the amount of blood, one can almost tell how powerful these demonized monsters are.

After all, these monsters were upgraded using materials that he had accumulated for more than a month. Of course, even with the materials that he had accumulated for more than a month, he had only upgraded more than 40 bosses.

The remaining points were used up from the points originally intended for the second floor, and combined with the use of the mechanism of the Mihri ruins, this is how we were able to create such a group of bosses mixed with demonic monsters. The difficulty involved is naturally self-evident.

But it is obvious that the effect shown is very good, which can be clearly seen from the group of players being ravaged in the front.

Even though the players have an absolute advantage in numbers, with the advantage of terrain and the cooperation with the surrounding monsters, each of these boss-level BOSSes can deal with more than a hundred players at the same time.

The demonized leaders among them were even more powerful. Even when facing the elite groups with the most powerful equipment and technology in the top-ranked guilds of the Constantana Empire, they were not inferior at all, and were even stronger.

The seventy-four boss-level monsters were like a huge threshold, blocking more than 20,000 players from entering the ruins, although these players more or less stayed voluntarily.

Seeing this scene, Lucina looked very surprised. However, she was not only surprised at the number and strength of these bosses, but also a little surprised at the cooperation of these players. "Are these adventurers willing to help us?"

puff--

Is this kid so naive? I almost laughed out loud and helped explain, "They just want to get the spoils after the bosses die. Adventurers have always been like this."

Yes, so many boss-level monsters would be nothing short of a disaster in the eyes of the natives, but in the eyes of players of similar levels, they are simply walking vaults. They will always be killed under their endless attacks and drop gold or even dark gold equipment.

They may temporarily avoid elite-level monsters that they cannot handle, but they need to rely on ranking damage or the final blow to get a chance to compete for the spoils of these boss-level monsters.

Now there is a mission issued by Lucina, which is why players are so crazy.

Lucina seemed to finally understand after hearing this explanation, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She smiled and pounded her fists, "They need the spoils to strengthen their strength, and we also need their assistance. It's a win-win cooperation."

After that, he divided the army into more than ten groups of hundreds of people and attacked the BOSSes. Each group had several captains as commanders and adjutants, and each was responsible for the monsters in an area.

However, although it is a group of 100 people, in fact, the combat is mainly carried out by small teams. After all, the environment here is still complex and there are a large number of monsters. This form of dispersed combat can better bring out the full strength of the army.

But in fact, this method also slows down the battle speed to a certain extent, which is more conducive to the realization of one's own plan.

Seeing the army begin to march as a whole, I concealed the slight curve of my mouth, asked Kai and Shim to secretly take out the gray alkali potion and mix it with other potions to drink, and I drank it together.

Lucina next to me didn't notice anything at all. Instead, she was alerted by my action and told the soldiers in the army whose potion's duration was about to expire to take new potions to prolong the effect.

But does this really work?

In an unknown team in front of the swamp, a battlefield mage followed the knight in front and was about to attack the BOSS of an area they were responsible for, but suddenly paused.
