How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Perhaps it was for the generous rewards, or perhaps it was also out of curiosity about the Dark Expeditionary Force, but no matter what, the players' support successfully assisted the troops on the front line.

The military and political hall in the center of the town.

The executive officer of Rock Point, the commander of the Rock Point garrison, and the commander of the Fourth Legion of Riedenburg who came to support were commanding the actions on the front line.

After I arrived, I used the token of Antia Governor Agatha to state my identity and purpose.

The stern expressions on the three people's faces all relaxed.

"Miss An, your arrival is really timely."

"What's the situation ahead now?"

I inquired.

"Not very optimistic." The commander of the Fourth Legion shook his head.

Through his description, I understood clearly that what he said about being pessimistic was really not optimistic.

The front of Rock Corner was divided into two lines, and the western side was still barely resisting.

The situation on the east side is even more serious.

Before Damietta, which was originally on the front line, was captured by a demon expeditionary force, the commander inside issued an order in time to let the army retreat to the rear.

Together with the troops sent from Cape Rock, they formed the front line on the east side of Cape Rock, just beside Mosley Lake Bay on the east side of Cape Rock.

However, even if the two armies joined forces, they were unable to stop the Demon Expeditionary Force, and their front line seemed to be shattered under the enemy's repeated attacks.

Not only that, this front is also facing the danger of being surrounded.

"If the army inside is surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable. We at Rock Point will lose nearly half of our troops and will be unable to resist the attacks of those demons."

However, what others would find worrying may cause someone to think differently.

As expected of the Blood Eagle Lord Guinness, he destroyed several key passes on Antia's first line in just one day, and even attracted a large number of Antia's elite manpower and firepower.

It is obvious that Berghead's military strength can be seen from this.

If he were to send his Demon King Castle to attack Berghead, the chances of winning would be less than 30%.

At this rate of progress, the Demon Expeditionary Force would be able to advance straight into the city before the Empire's support could arrive, posing a fatal threat to the core city of Antia.

But I don't want Guinness to achieve his invasion goal so easily.

After all, his target is not just Antia, but also the entire Berghead.

Just like a war game, as a hidden third party, you must balance the strength of both sides in order to get the greatest benefit.

However, in the meantime, some small tricks can still be used to gain some benefits from a certain group first.

And there just happened to be a beast base nearby that they had set up themselves.

"I roughly understand the situation, so the immediate task now is to rescue the troops inside the front line, am I right?"

"Yes, Miss An is very smart. We have organized our people and made a rough plan in advance, but we don't have any means to deal with the elites among these demons. We are worried about accidents, so we have not taken action yet."

"Now that Miss An has arrived, it can be said that we have solved the problem we were worried about. I hope that Miss An can cooperate with the people we have organized to resist the demon army and win the retreat for the army on the front line..."

But before Tal, the garrison officer of Rock Point, could finish his words, I interrupted him and said, "But this may result in a lot of casualties. I have another plan that can save the army and deal a certain blow to the demon army at the same time."

I took out the Glorious Chapter from my backpack and described it as a holy relic that could predict the future.

There are many holy objects in the light camp that have been lost in the dust of history. Although the Glorious Chapter is very famous, Executive Officer Locke and others have never seen it. They can only feel the majestic power of light hidden in it.

Naturally, I believed my description.

"It predicted that the commander of the demon army ahead had secretly organized a group of elites to attack the army in Mosley Bay from the rear, so they are now concentrating their firepower in front of the front and desperately launching an attack."

"We can take this opportunity to launch an attack in advance and clear the way for the army. At that time, we only need you to bring people to help create noise in front of the front line to attract the enemy's attention."

"But if the prophecy fails, then the result will be..."

Placing hope on an object, even if it was a holy object, the executive officers and others at Rockhorn were still somewhat hesitant.

"It doesn't matter. I don't need to arrange any more personnel except for the monastery's elite group. If the prophecy doesn't match, I will rush over to meet you and implement the first plan."

"Will this be dangerous for Miss An?"

"To be precise, we don't need military manpower, but we hope that Rock Point can provide material assistance."

I shook my head and smiled slightly, and my pretty face looked particularly bright and lovely.

"Just allow me to gather some adventurers to help me."

Chapter 182 Special Operations

On the streets of Rock Point town.

A warrior wrapped in heavy armor, like a steel behemoth, attracted the attention of many passing players.

Not only because of the full set of [Leading the Sun] equipment parts, which can only be collected by clearing [Sunfire Station], which is currently the most difficult high-level copy in the empire, it can be said to be a warrior dark gold set that is hard to come by at a high price.

His attention was also attracted by the glowing blade in the opponent's hand.

"This brilliant color, could it be a legendary weapon?"

"It's a bit similar. I've seen the legendary equipment that was the finale of the previous auction. They were all this color."

"Legendary is fine, but this Lieyang Leader's leggings can be sold for a high price of one or two thousand gold coins in the market, and our guild leader couldn't buy it even if he offered."

"Who on earth is this? Isn't the equipment on him too luxurious?"

"Wait, isn't this the Black King Caesar who ranks first on the Warrior List?"

"Black King Caesar!? You mean the president of Storm?"

Even though Black King Caesar hid his name in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, his identity was still discovered by the sharp-eyed players around him, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

However, Black King Caesar did not care too much about this. After all, as a well-known figure who has fought in many online games, even though the phenomenal online game Anno is different, he has become accustomed to the admiring gazes of ordinary people.

But now, he still has work to do.

"Lan Hai, are your people ready?"

"Everything is almost ready. Ao Shi, Gui Long, and You Hun are still distributing supplies. It should be done soon. Everyone else has gathered at Rock Corner."

"Let me know when they're ready."

"Okay, boss."

The names that appeared in the communication were all well-known figures on the Empire Rankings, and they were also the elites that were being trained with emphasis within Storm.

The reason why they gathered at Rock Corner with Black King Caesar was because Black King Caesar had his eyes on several super-large wartime missions related to fighting against the Demon Expeditionary Force and planned to lead a team to conquer them.

Apart from the generous rewards, it can also increase the guild's honor in the event, thus further consolidating its ranking as the top guild in the event rankings.

Therefore, in addition to several elite groups, they also brought many high-powered members of the branch, with a total size of more than 1,300 people. This lineup can be said to be very luxurious.

Following the Black King Caesar to Rock Corner with the same idea came the forces of several large guilds, including Ares, Eternal Spire, Valhalla, and other small guilds.

Preparations are also being made in full swing.

However, just as they were preparing to gather their members, a town announcement sounded without warning.

[Rock Corner] Town Announcement: Special wartime mission "Recruitment of Special Operations Commanders" has been issued. Interested adventurers are requested to go to the Military Affairs Office for confirmation.

The town announcement that sounded three times in a row not only attracted the attention of players in and around the town, but also attracted the attention of guild members including Baofeng.

"A special wartime mission? It seems quite interesting to mobilize such a large number of troops?"

When the Black King Caesar saw the announcement, he stroked his slightly bearded chin with his eyes flickering.

Soon he learned the specific content of this special wartime mission from the person he arranged to go to the Military Affairs Department.

The purpose is simple and clear. They will follow the special operations commander who came to Rock Corner out of the city to support the front line and cover the retreat of the troops inside. They may fight with the elites of the Demon Expeditionary Force on the way.

The basic reward can reach the level of B-level single-player tasks, which can be said to be very generous.

The final reward will be increased based on the performance score during the mission. The so-called performance score is nothing more than a series of evaluations such as damage or treatment to monsters, which are given by the system according to a special mechanism during the battle.

In addition, this performance score will also be ranked, and the top players will receive additional rewards. There are not only single player rankings, but also guild rankings that include the overall performance of guild members.

In other words, this so-called special wartime mission is equivalent to a small incident among events.

Black King Caesar made a rough analysis and found that if it could be completed, even the basic reward would only be slightly lower than completing those super-large wartime tasks, not to mention that there were combat evaluations to increase the level of the reward.

"Lan Hai, notify the brothers to take over this mission."

It was not only Black King Caesar who changed his mind temporarily. Ares, Eternal Spire, Valhalla and other guilds of all sizes were also attracted by such generous rewards.

In fact, almost all players around Rock Corner were tempted by this mission.

But they were stopped by a threshold.

"Pfft, Qingqiu, I just found out that this mission has restrictions. Those who don't meet the combat power requirements he set will not be accepted. When I first went to accept the mission, I saw a lot of people complaining over there."

Yili Qingqiu also became curious after hearing what he said. After listening to Qingyu's description of the restrictions on each profession, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "This condition is probably enough to eliminate most of the current players. It should be because this task is quite difficult."

However, this standard can stop a large number of ordinary players, but it is not a problem at all for members of large guilds, especially when they are accompanied by the elites of Aurora and Lost Paradise.

"Beibei, notify everyone to gather at the mission location."

"Ah."

Aurora and Paradise Lost moved quickly. After arriving at the open space south of Rock Point City, they discovered that they were still the first group of players to arrive. As time went by, many teams arrived one after another.

By the end, there were huge crowds of people everywhere, at least eight or nine thousand people.

Or to be more precise, there are more than 9,200 people, and all of them are players with upper-middle level strength.

If so many people were killed by his men, the energy gain would definitely not be low...

Looking at the huge crowds of people below, it was as if I saw a pile of golden treasures, until Kai and the others coughed to remind me.

Only then did I notice the military officer calling me.

"Miss An?"

"Hey, hey, I'm listening!"

He responded hastily, just like a primary school student who was caught distracted in class.

Looking at the cute little girl in front of him who was acting obediently, Darent sighed silently. Although it was hard to believe that the little lady in front of him was the special operations commander appointed by Lady Agatha, he still followed his mission.

"Commander, the time has come. Are you ready to set off?"

Although there was no need to arrange manpower, Executive Officer Rockhorn still equipped himself with an army of 500 people and several officers to assist in the mobilization and command, in addition to the 400 soldiers and the monastery assigned to him by Riddenburg.

He also has an army of thousands of people under his command.

It sounds like it has begun to take shape, but compared with the other two armies with a total of more than 15,000 people, they are not of the same size at all.

However, although there are not many official troops, we still have so many players on our side, right?

I smiled and waved my hand, "Of course, let's go."

Chapter 183 Shadow Tree Spirit

Following the military officer's order, the surrounding troops gathered and began to march towards the southeast.

According to the plan framework I gave out clearly.

The plan was to bypass the Demon Expeditionary Force's eyes and quickly cross the hilly canyons in the southeast. When the Demon Expeditionary Force sent its elites to attack the rear of the Mosley Bay front, they would intercept them first and then clear the rear for the troops within the front.

The key is to use the information gap to catch the Demon Expeditionary Force off guard.

But the actual situation may not go according to plan.

After the army took the first action, the players naturally followed suit.

However, when they followed the army, they discovered that this army consisted of only about a thousand people, which was very different from the size they had imagined.

"Why does it feel like we're back to the attack and defense of the ruins two months ago? Are we going to be used as cannon fodder again?" Qingyu couldn't help but complain as he looked at the army marching not far away.

Beibei next to him nodded in agreement.

"Are you so worried?"

Yili Qingqiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but she also knew the shadow of the incident on the two men, so she consoled them, "They are going to rescue the troops on the front line this time, so they should be acting according to a plan."

Qingyu wanted to say something, but suddenly heard the order that the army was about to enter the forest and should act carefully.

I couldn't help but be very curious, "Isn't it just entering a forest? Why are you so nervous?"
