How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Various projected maps are displayed on the surrounding walls, depicting complex information with dots and lines. Looking up, one seems to have a general grasp of the current situation.

Along the way, we can see many civil servants and military officers walking in a hurry. There are even more people coming and going in this command center, including many senior military officers.

In addition to the Antia officials, many forces within the country also sent their representatives to discuss the matter. Naturally, they were all well-known ones, such as major professional associations, sub-professional associations, and famous chambers of commerce.

Everyone here has a high status and identity in Antia, but compared with the figure standing proudly in the center of the hall, they are much weaker.

Antia's governor, Agatha, has developed Antia step by step into a hub city in Karen, southwest of the Orwyn Empire, during her five years in office. It serves as an important fulcrum to guard peace on the border.

Not only does he have extremely high prestige in Antia, he also has considerable say in the entire empire.

It can be said that her abilities and methods are particularly outstanding. However, even so, facing this huge and oppressive tide of beasts, she looked exhausted.

“Station a few more troops on the west side of Oran and let Vikas be in charge of personnel transfer.”

"The new fortifications are being dispersed and transported to the towns on the front lines around Green City."

After issuing several orders and asking the recorder next to her to help pass them on, Agatha looked at the map projected on the table in front of her. The densely packed red dots that looked like a tide made her frown deeply.

Or rather, her frown has never relaxed since she learned about the beast tide coming yesterday.

Just then, an officer came up to her and stated the visitor's news in a low voice.

"Holy Light Monastery?"

Chapter 143 Special Operations Commander

"Invite them in."

Agatha pondered for a moment before giving instructions.

Soon, under the guidance of the officer, I met the leader with the highest status and position in Antia. However, I did not expect that there was a familiar figure standing next to him.

Anriel, the high priest of the Holy Temple.

However, the effect of magic disguise is extremely powerful. Even if one has had contact with the other party before and his appearance has changed a lot, the mold is still there.

But the look that Anriel cast at him subconsciously was just full of curiosity, and it was obvious that she didn't recognize him.

Kai, who was standing next to him, didn't know that someone was secretly relieved. He took the lead and stepped forward, performing a simple knight's salute. "Hello, respected Archon. I am Kai, a member of the elite team of the Holy Light Monastery."

"This is Miss An from the Lancelot family. She is a cousin of Master Claire."

After Kai finished the introduction, I bowed to Agatha like a lady. Although Lancelot is an ancient knight family, proper training in aristocratic etiquette is still essential. I don't want to be exposed in such details.

Although after Kai handed over Claire's token, the other party didn't care too much about this aspect.

After carefully checking the authenticity of the token, Agatha's remaining doubts were completely dispelled. She briefly introduced herself and also introduced Anriel next to her to us.

He was very polite and did not look down on me because of my young age. After all, the Lancelot family had a great reputation.

"I am honored to have Miss An and the others here. It's a pity that Anriel and I have something important to do right now. Otherwise, we would definitely introduce you to some scenic spots around Antia."

"It's not related. Lady Agatha should focus on the beast tide right now. What's the current situation?"

"Not optimistic."

Agatha shook her head and pointed at the projected map, briefly describing the current situation. "Monster groups have been affected in the Zeyue Mountains, the Serra Desert, and the Elhouse Plains, with the largest number of monsters in the Zeyue Mountains."

"Although all the troops and support personnel in Karen have been deployed to the front line by my arrangement, they are still insufficient compared to the monster groups that can be monitored."

"We sent a request for help to the Imperial Council yesterday, but it seems that due to the power of the Lord-level Holy Night Moon Fox, the transmission outside the country was blocked, and the troops from other regions could not enter Antia through the transmission array. The only good news is that the transmission within the country is still available."

"And if we march to Antia, it will take at least ten days."

The last sentence also explains why the incident lasted for ten days.

Based on Agatha's description, even though I didn't know much about military affairs, I knew the situation wasn't very clear. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, but of course I didn't show anything unusual on my face.

He even looked like he was worried, and after thinking for a moment, he told her the purpose of his visit.

"To be honest, I came here for this beast tide, and I want to provide Antia with some help within my ability."

This seemed to be within Agatha's expectations. She didn't say anything extra polite and directly pointed out the key point, "Thank you Miss An for having such an idea. I wonder how many people Miss An has under her?"

I briefly introduced the monastery team under my command and the elite knights I led.

Upon hearing this, Anriel's soft face showed a look of surprise. Even Agatha, who was in a high position and never showed her emotions, had her dark eyes slightly lit up.

Although hundreds of people are like sand and gravel that cannot cause any waves on the huge battlefield in Karen, if there is an elite in front of these people, then the significance will be completely different.

The elites are selected from thousands or even tens of thousands. Even with the huge population in Karen, there are only about a thousand elites, and they directly obey the Antia military, so there are only five or six hundred of them who are easy to command.

What's more, the levels and strengths of these elites I brought with me are of a relatively high level, which can be said to have largely filled the gap in high-end combat power.

"Miss An, your arrival is really timely." Agatha was just thinking about this matter. "If possible, I hope Miss An will lead people to Riedenburg to assist the army there in defending."

Riedenburg is one of the main attack cities of the beast tide around Antia, and together with the other three cities, it serves as the front line of Antia.

However, compared to other cities, Agatha can only mobilize a few high-end combat forces to garrison. Now with my assistance, the situation is completely different. She can even transfer some personnel to support other cities.

Naturally, I agreed without hesitation, but I winked secretly to the side.

Kai raised a point without leaving any trace, "Lady Agatha, Miss An is still young and doesn't understand some things."

"We at the Holy Light Monastery have a special way of fighting. If we were to disperse the army, our combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. However, if we were to move in under the name of the monastery, I'm afraid there would be many restrictions."

Agatha had been in a high position for a long time, so she understood Kai's meaning after a little thought. The other party wanted an official name to facilitate their subsequent specific and unified actions in Riedenburg.

Anriel next to him suggested, "Lady Agatha, why don't we adopt the same arrangement as the Holy Temple?"

"Then I hereby grant Miss An the title of Special Operations Commander. The specific details of the powers can be discussed with Corps Commander Ryan when Miss An goes to Riedenburg."

Agatha nodded, gave a few instructions to the secretary general next to her, and took a military badge.

"This is a token. Please keep it, Miss An. I have already conveyed the instructions to the governor of Riedenburg and the commanders of the major legions through the liaison officer."

"Okay, please, Lady Agatha."

I reached out and carefully took the military badge handed to me by the other party, and I realized that the purpose of my trip had been achieved.

He reached a cooperative relationship with the Holy Night Moon Fox as a member of the Dark Camp, and gained the trust of Antia's governor by using his identity in the Light Camp, thus obtaining certain rights.

The next question is how to utilize these two identities to gain further benefits for oneself.

Although all this still needs to wait until the beast tide actually begins.

But it was already very fast.

Just when Agatha was about to tell her some more details, she suddenly noticed that on the map in front of her, countless red dots began to surge like a tide.

The surrounding civil servants and military officers were startled by the noise and looked up, seeing the changes in the map projected on the wall.

"coming!"

……

……

Although I came in second, it was still a perfect ending!

Chinese team yyds!

Chapter 144 Event Begins

"coming!"

No one knew whose voice was uttered first, but the players in the front-line towns near the Zeyue Mountains all subconsciously cast their eyes outside the city.

Even though they were several kilometers away, they could see many black spots gradually appearing on the endless mountains. These black spots were scattered at first, but soon gathered together like water droplets, and finally formed a surging tide.

The same situation also occurs in the Sierra Desert and the Alhaus Plain.

As a system message popped up on the screens of all players in Karen:

Area announcement: The countdown ends, and the event [Beast Tide Siege on Holy Night] begins.

The tides were like a flood, sweeping towards the towns and cities in Karen.

The earth trembled and a tide of beasts arrived.

Brilliant rays of light shot up into the air from the center of the town, then exploded, forming an elliptical light shield that enveloped the towns.

Hundreds of garrison troops, under the leadership of their commanders, were on guard with the help of the fortifications that had already been established.

Magic crystal cannons and heavy crossbows were pushed onto the city wall, the mage tower lit up, and war puppets were transported out of the city gate.

The melee troops set up their swords and shields, making powerful clanging sounds. The cavalry then prepared to break up the beast tide.

Behind the fortifications, the wizard chanted magic, and bursts of light appeared. The archer pulled the bowstring, and the sharp arrow was ready to be shot.

The agile rangers are responsible for delivering orders or intelligence from various war zones.

Not only the natives, but the players also took action and went to various towns to assist.

From this moment on, all the people in the entire territory of Karen were united into a community, working together to fight against the oncoming surging tide of beasts.

"finally come."

Watching the red dot approaching on the map, Agatha was in a trance for a moment, but only for a moment. The brilliance in her eyes sank, and she regained the efficiency that an Antia governor should have, issuing orders to the people around her with unquestionable momentum.

"As expected, you are the one who developed Antia into the hub of the southwest. If the opponent is such an existence, I don't know if I can successfully conquer Antia."

Looking at the powerful figure behind me, I thought to myself, but I didn't worry too much. Even if I couldn't capture Antia, I could still borrow the cores of the surrounding secondary cities.

But no matter how you think about it, you should still try your best to get the best, right?

After leaving Antia's military and political hall, he, together with other members of the monastery team and the waiting elite knights, took the teleportation array to Riedenburg on the southeast front.

The atmosphere here is just as lively as in Antia, with soldiers and players rushing back and forth.

Although on the front line, Riedenburg's side is not yet on the first line.

Faced with such a huge tide of beasts, the Antia officials naturally made sufficient considerations.

Those small villages and towns near the Zeyue Mountains were unable to take on the responsibility of defense and were abandoned after the residents were organized to evacuate. Now, under the iron hoof of the beast tide, the houses and buildings in these villages and towns were all turned into ruins.

The larger towns that were focused on by the army naturally became the primary line of defense, and then they were defended layer by layer like thick-cut butter. It was here that the beast tide's offensive stalled.

The players were rushing to the towns that were first hit by the beast tide.

Help the army over there to destroy the approaching group of monsters.

Or use the teleportation array in the town to teleport to the hidden teleportation array on the other side that has not been destroyed by the beast tide.

In critical situations where you may be discovered and surrounded by the surrounding beast tide at any time, you must complete difficult wartime tasks such as rescue, supply transportation, killing key monsters, etc.

If the indigenous forces are the frontal force against the beast tide, then the player group is like a fearless knife, stabbing fiercely into the belly of the beast tide from the side.

After arriving at the center of Riedenburg, he met with the governor and the commander-in-chief Ryan. After giving Agatha's token to the two of them for inspection, his identity as the special operations commander was officially established.

What I didn't expect was that this commander had such great power.

I learned from Ryan that my status is now almost equal to that of the two, and Kai and others are directly under me, the special operations commander. This means that Ryan and others cannot be transferred directly and need my permission.

In addition, he can also recruit troops, issue military orders, and mobilize supplies like the two of them.

It was just similar to Nalton's previous situation. With the identity of the Holy Light Monastery, although his actions were much more convenient, there were also many restrictions. If he made some unreasonable actions, the monastery behind him might also be implicated.

Therefore, when it comes to the army, supplies, and other aspects that are closely related to the official affairs of Riedenburg, I must consider carefully before proceeding.

However, just because it is difficult to take action against the indigenous people does not mean that it is difficult to take action in other areas.

Besides, another purpose of mine is to gain energy from the event.

"Mr. Ryan, I don't have enough manpower, and I don't know much about military management. Some things are difficult to handle. Can I issue wartime missions to adventurers through the Military Reception Office and ask them to help carry them out?"

I asked Ryan.

Wartime missions are coordinated by the Military Affairs Department. Tactical personnel and officers analyze the situation, and other civilian staff formulate and supplement details based on the framework, which are finally released to adventurers through the Military Affairs Reception Office.

The head of the Military Affairs Department is a subordinate of the Archon, and his status is also lower than Ryan's. In other words, since his status is equal to that of the two, it stands to reason that he is not overstepping his authority.

"Of course, the manpower brought by Miss An has greatly filled the gap in the elite combat power of Riedenburg. Moreover, as the special operations commander granted by Lady Agatha, I can still have this right."

Ryan nodded and answered my question calmly.

"It's just that regarding the supplies, Lady Agatha had already arranged everything for Riedenburg before the war, and if you want to make changes later, you can only collect part of it. So Miss An has a certain amount of supplies that can be mobilized every day. I'm sorry about that."

What the other party calls material mobilization, in game terms, is the reward given to players after completing wartime tasks.

After all, wartime missions cannot be issued arbitrarily no matter how you think about it, otherwise there would not be a need for so many analysts to analyze the situation and allocate resources reasonably.

But this was within my expectations, so I didn't mind it too much.
