How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

The ultimate goal of the expedition is to establish an "East-West Corridor", but it does not say where exactly this corridor should be built. If it is just at the angle of the extended part of the southern defense line of the Kingdom of Levis, then it will undoubtedly be much safer.

However, the choice of route for the incident involves huge interests, one of which is the fortress.

Although the Guild Alliance has not yet gone so far as to attack the orcs' core position in the southernmost part, it has also chosen a route with many abandoned fortresses. According to the plans of both sides, the intersection is already deep into the heart of the tribe.

This is what Xingluo Wanxiang is most worried about.

Seeing that the morale of the team had dropped a little because of her boyfriend's words, Feng Ling'er rolled her eyes at Xingluo Wanxiang and quickly came out to liven up the atmosphere. "The Guild Alliance must be more thoughtful than we thought, and Luo, you also said that there are so many elites here. Why should we worry so much? It's better to just enjoy the scenery~"

"I hope...Okay, everyone should be optimistic. This is just my feeling."

Xing Luo Wan Xiang was about to speak, but he gave up when he saw his girlfriend's glare. With the presence of several girls, the atmosphere in the team soon became lively again. But these words surprised someone.

"My judgment and analytical skills are quite impressive."

I cast my gaze towards Xingluo Wanxiang, and it was nothing that I briefly pointed out the problems in this expedition, but the key was that I actually noticed the clues behind it.

At first I thought he was just a playboy, but now it seems he is a good talent.

In addition, the strength of this team is also very good, so I suddenly had the idea of ​​recruiting them.

Of course, it’s not too late to talk about this after the matter is over.

The expedition team rolled forward towards the southeast. Due to the large number of players, their speed was greatly affected. It took more than six hours for the first group of players to reach the Savage Horn Plain.

This place can be considered the border of the orcs' heartland.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will only take them another four or five hours to rendezvous with the expeditionary force of the Constantina Empire and establish a passage corridor between the two empires on the grassland.

Who knows if things will go so smoothly?

However, due to the lunch break and the large number of players, the huge team inevitably stretched to more than ten kilometers long.

All the orc tribes that appeared along the way, no matter how big or small, were killed by the vicious players, and some even spared no ordinary monsters. There were many players who were eager to fight, so when the news of the vanguard troops arriving at the Savage Horn Plain came, even the air was filled with surging fighting spirit.

"Tell our people to rest here for half an hour, and send the bandits out to investigate the situation ahead. We will probably have a lot of tough battles to fight next."

Wenren Shanshui gave instructions to his confidants.

Although there were many warlike players, there were more players who were exhausted after traveling hundreds of kilometers. In addition, they had already arrived in the heartland of the orcs, and the tribe they were about to encounter was not comparable to the previous one in terms of scale and strength, so it was always right to be careful and prepared.

In fact, Wenren Shanshui also hopes to encounter some powerful orc tribes and add color to this event with exciting battles.

During their previous journey, they had encountered groups of orcs, but those tribes were too small compared to the expedition team. Even the core team of the guild alliance never went out once, and were easily dealt with by peripheral members, mercenaries, and even those scattered players.

A novel without any ups and downs is as hard to swallow as black bread.

Putting aside the question of the benefits of killing orcs, even if the "Grassland Corridor" is established, the players in the two empires will probably not have a very high opinion of this expedition, and it is also not a good thing for the reputation of the Guild Alliance.

From the beginning to the end, we never encountered any strong enemies. This was not an expedition, but a school picnic walk.

"Where are these barbarians hiding?"

Wenren Shanshui squinted his eyes and looked at the distant skyline.

His idea was the same as Xing Luo Wanxiang's. With such a large-scale player expedition, it was impossible for the orcs to be unaware of it, let alone ignore it. Otherwise, the tribe's territory would be greatly reduced by the defense line formed after the fortress was occupied.

But he had never encountered any threatening opposing force along the way, which made Wenren Shanshui feel ominous.

"Forget it. Anyway, I have gained a lot."

They have occupied more than ten abandoned fortresses along the way. They left some people inside to guard them. When the incident is over, these will become the property of the guild alliance. At most, other guilds will buy two or three of them with contributions.

"Let's take a break, Xiaoling, and let Bingdian and the others do the hard work before exploring further."

Xingluo Wanxiang brought everyone to a nearby hill and made arrangements on the channel.

"it is good."

It is now close to four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, and the vast Savage Plains covers the distance like a huge carpet. Looking around, there is no trace of any Orc tribe, only the shadows of some thieves who have left the team to gather intelligence ahead, acting as the "eyes" of the expeditionary force.

I jumped off Xiaobai's body and fed it some food. I also fed Ahri a piece of rainbow crystal. When I was about to take out the dried meat from my backpack, I suddenly noticed something and looked up at the sky.

Some black spots appeared in the sky at some point, and without the skill to increase vision, I could only vaguely see a shadow.

However, with the help of the Eye of Ugar that I had released long ago, I could see the true forms of these shadows more clearly.

Chapter 74: The Invading Orcs

Shiny black feathers are spread on the agile body, and a cluster of white tail feathers is particularly eye-catching. With a flap of its wings, it soars into the sky, and its sharp eyes sweep downwards, like a high lord patrolling his territory.

White-lined Black-feathered Eagle [Elite]: Level 135, HP: 112500/112500

These black hawks were hovering above the expeditionary force and were noticed by some shooters with bonus vision. They launched attacks into the sky, but several were shot down. The rest flew to higher altitudes and were not easily approached.

Those shooters who succeeded thought it was just an ordinary monster and didn't pay much attention to it. After showing off to their companions, they didn't pay much attention to it anymore.

But there was a gleam in my eyes.

Xing Luo Wan Xiang in the team also noticed the movement in the sky. After retracting his gaze, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of my expression. He smiled and asked, "Xiao Tong, did you find anything?"

Although I didn't expect the other party to talk to me, I didn't have any concerns about not being able to speak out.

"These monsters in the sky are probably not ordinary monsters. I think they are most likely related to the orcs. They can't have been silent for so long. I guess these big guys are going to make a real move next. These black eagles are the scouts before the war."

"real or fake?"

A shield warrior named Kuanglang in the team said in surprise, with an exaggerated expression that looked quite funny. He was the character who livened up the atmosphere in the team along the way. Although he was the main shield warrior in the team, I couldn't help but doubt whether he could play this profession that required more calmness.

Several girls also showed surprised expressions, but what made me speechless was that these sisters with overflowing maternal instincts completely treated my words as a joke. To use a more vivid example, they were like primary school students giving speeches on stage.

"Tongtong is amazing, Teacher Xiaoling gives you full marks~"

"Not bad, would you like me to recommend you some easier-to-understand mystery novels?"

"You're so cute when you look serious!"

Then he was treated to another round of patting on the head and rubbing on the face.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, but looking at the various foods thrown in front of me, I decided not to bother with these "owners".

In fact, the other people in the team treated my analysis as a child’s joke and smiled good-naturedly without paying much attention to it. But what’s interesting is that Xingluo Wanxiang didn’t think so.

"Yes, that's pretty much what I thought."

Ignoring the strange looks from his companions, Xing Luo Wan Xiang smiled slightly, "Anyway, everyone should have a good rest. The road ahead won't be so easy, and I think there will be a big battle waiting for us soon."

"I hope so. Do you think it's reasonable to not encounter a few decent battles in a day?"

Kuang Lang sighed beside him, with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"Since you want to fight so much, why not use those random teleportation scrolls of yours and go on a spontaneous trip?" Shengjiang Shaorou said with a smile.

"Forget it then."

The Mad Wolf shrank his head in disappointment. Who knew where the random teleportation scroll would take him? Maybe it would take him to the center of the Orc tribe in the next second. He would cry then.

Kuang Lang's failure made everyone in the team laugh.

Although the other party's words hit the nail on the head, from nine in the morning to now, more than six hours later, the team had encountered only a few battles on the road.

Many times, before the front row could even make a move, the orcs or monsters they encountered were dealt with by mages and archers, or they might even be killed by other teams first. After all, the base number of players was there, and the scattered tribes were like stones under the wheels, with no resistance in front of the expeditionary force.

They were so itchy that they couldn't help it. In one word, that is -

I, Fat Tiger, really want to fight.

But rather than getting excited, they also want to rest and recover their energy.

Although it was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging in the sky, casting its scorching rays unscrupulously. In addition, after more than six hours of continuous travel without the excitement of killing monsters, many people felt exhausted and could not hold on any longer.

So after the guild alliance members stopped to rest, the entire expeditionary force also slowed down its pace. On the small hill where everyone was resting, many teams of players could be seen who had also chosen to rest.

Looking around, there were groups of players resting on the spot, taking out food and drinks to replenish their energy, and feeding their mounts at the same time.

Some team players even simply sat around, took out the barbecue props, and had a small barbecue outdoors. On the beautiful and vast grassland, accompanied by thousands of players moving forward, the strong breeze with the scent of grassland grass and soil blew in their faces, making this barbecue experience particularly unique.

But soon, this happy atmosphere disappeared.

Because the orcs are coming.

"Everyone, pay attention. There are a lot of orcs ahead. I say again, a lot!"

"The Orc army is coming this way! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

A hoarse shout suddenly sounded at the front of the team.

One, two, three, and soon it spread like a plague throughout the expedition. Many players quickly put away their food and prepared for battle, but many more were still confused because they were in the crowd and couldn't see the situation around them. There were people and pets everywhere.

After entering the Savage Horn Plain, the Guild Alliance sent out thieves to take on the task of vigilance and exploration. Many teams followed suit. Thousands of people were spread out like a dense net, and only now have the news been retrieved.

However, it was not good news, as more accurate information was soon transmitted back.

The searching thieves were attacked by a large number of orcs and suffered heavy casualties. And not only in the front, countless orcs were also found attacking in the north and south directions of the expeditionary army, forming a two-wing attack, and there were shadows of many BOSSes among them.

But even such news made a large number of players suddenly excited. After all, they had traveled such a long distance to finally compete with the orcs. Everyone was eager to start fighting immediately. Many players in the middle of the team rushed to both sides, hoping to be the first to join the battle.

The players on the periphery of the expedition had the widest field of vision and soon saw the dust rolling in from the distance, as well as the faint roars and sounds of war drums.

Naturally, we were included in this group, but Xing Luo Wan Xiang's actions were much faster than the surrounding teams. After receiving the hasty message from Bing Dian, he stood up, rushed to the top of the hill, took out a monocular telescope from his backpack, and looked into the distance.

The scene he saw also appeared in the field of vision of the Eye of Ugall, or it could be said that the scene reflected by the Eye of Ugall was more comprehensive and shocking in comparison.

As endless as a mountain range, a black mass of orcs rushed over. Even the originally clear sky in the distance seemed to be caught in it and became dim. The endless roar rolled like thunder, and the earth began to tremble under the orcs' iron hooves.

Chapter 75: Orc Camp

The charging formation of the orcs that appeared from the east side of the expeditionary force was extremely terrifying. There were many high-level orcs such as lions, tigers, cows, leopards, wolves and their subordinates, as well as barbarian warriors, boulder throwers, axe throwers, berserkers, archers, and countless other types of troops.

The attack line was not long, but the smoke and dust rising into the sky and the increasingly loud impact sounds told everyone without a doubt that the orcs were definitely moving in large numbers, and their intention was to directly strike the strongest center of the expeditionary force.

The Orcs are a different race from their brothers in the Orc Empire. Although they both have the blood of Orcs and humans, Orcs are more human-like. Most of the hair on their bodies has receded, and only their ears and tails still retain the characteristics of the corresponding race. At most, their limbs still retain the characteristics of the Orcs.

Orcs are more like upright beasts rather than humans.

The conspicuous beast appearance also makes this orc army clearly different from the human army. It shows violent violence and carries a fierce momentum that seems to be able to destroy everything.

Although they seem brainless, they also possess strong intelligence. This group of orcs can tame various wild beasts to fight for the tribe, thereby unleashing powerful combat capabilities. They can even learn skills from other intelligent species.

This includes military command.

The front row of this army is composed entirely of cavalry, including wolf archers, leopard lancers, and so on.

As we all know, the advantages of cavalry can be fully utilized on flat and vast terrain. In addition, they are the indigenous people of this grassland and are naturally very familiar with cavalry combat methods.

These tens of thousands of cavalrymen were like sharp blades, and they even formed several decent troops under command to launch cutting raids on both sides.

Not to mention the Orc infantry that advanced rapidly after the cavalry. These infantry troops moved in an orderly manner, advancing one phalanx at a time according to their different occupations, forming a highly aggressive triangular formation with the cavalry at the tip.

Among these infantry legions, there were many giant beasts with bared fangs evenly distributed. Even the smaller ones were about eight or nine yards long, like small fortresses, holding extremely thick black clubs upside down, with white hair covering their strong limbs and overlapping muscles on their naked chests and abdomens.

Behemoth [Boss]: Level 140, HP: 1050000/1050000

Alienated Behemoth [Leader]: Level 145, HP: 1580000/1580000

There is even a golden chariot on the back of these behemoths. Fox orcs dressed in colorful and gorgeous costumes stand on the chariot and wave shining scepters in their hands, just like army commanders, leading the team forward.

In the back center of this group of orcs.

A Behemoth that is much larger than its ordinary peers and has fur that glows golden is slowly moving forward under the protection of hundreds of Orc guards. It rolls like a chariot, leaving deep and huge footprints on the grassland.

Golden Behemoth [Leadership]: Level 150, HP: 2500000/2500000

Although it was at the level of a commander, it was obvious that the figure controlling it was the master, or more precisely, the leader of the millions of orcs around it.

"It's just like what that person said."

The shaman elder, Ursak, looked at the huge expeditionary force in the distance, muttering to himself in the barbaric language unique to the orcs, with a sharp look in his eyes. He raised the scepter in his hand and knocked on the back of the giant beast below.

The Golden Behemoth let out an earth-shaking roar, as if issuing some kind of order. The loud horn and the exciting sound of war drums rang out, cheering up all the orcs around and making them more eager to fight.

"Kill these ungrateful humans, and victory will belong to our great king!"

Long before the player team set foot on the Savage Horn Plain, the Orcs' spies had already detected this huge expeditionary force. After all, the number of people was too large to be ignored. It was not difficult to form a counterattack force, but it was difficult to gather a powerful tribe in a short period of time to hinder the player's actions, otherwise this expeditionary force would be as powerful as a rainbow and penetrate directly into the heart of the Orcs.

The players' actions this time really caught the orcs by surprise. If nothing unexpected happens, Yuwen Hao's guild alliance and other players are likely to build a corridor spanning east and west in the heartland of the orcs to help Levis expand his territory.

"But what this world lacks most is surprises."

I could see the movements in the distance clearly, and thought silently in my heart.

Otherwise, the King of the Orcs in southern Levis would not have sent this capable subordinate to lead the army, and at the same time dispatched an orc army of over a million in size.

As for the exact reason, we have to start from two days ago.
