How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Xingluo Wanxiang sighed and closed the window of the event.

"Yeah, it's over."

I smiled, held Ahri in my arms, looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, and said silently in my heart.

"It has ended."

When the situation in the Constantana Empire was reported here, this was the only thought left in the minds of the people in the Guild Alliance.

After arriving at the Savage Horn Plains, they were only a few hundred miles away from the expeditionary force of the neighboring country. Once Constantine's expeditionary force was defeated, another army of orcs would soon attack them from the west and complete the merger.

If it was before, there was still a way to retreat from the east side.

Now the expeditionary force is like a piece of cheese that is about to be sandwiched in the middle. There is no way to retreat. The sudden defeat of the Constantana expeditionary force makes this breakout operation end up like a joke.

Especially when they saw the summoned lord-level ancient beast spirit, they knew that this was a battle that could not be won, even though the latter stated that it would only last for ten minutes.

Wenren Shanshui already understood why the morale of the group of orcs was so high; it was because of the elegy played for them.

But he did not give up or choose to evacuate.

"Notify everyone and fight to the death."

"Prepare for battle. Don't let these beasts underestimate us."

"Deploy the formation immediately!"

The presidents of several major guilds, including Chen Luo and An Danxin, immediately understood Wenren Shanshui's meaning and issued the same orders.

"Boss, it's clear that they are doomed to fail, so why don't they choose to retain as many top-level combat forces as possible?"

Chongkai asked.

Zun Wang Rangyi stretched his muscles and looked at the Orc army in the distance. His eyes were calm but revealed the determination of a stone. "We have done what we should do. And because we are bound to lose, we must die standing. Let everyone in the empire know that the people of the Guild Alliance will not retreat even if they die."

"Notify all brothers and prepare for a fight to the death."

"Yes."

Chongkai did not hesitate. His previous inquiries were just out of curiosity. When the battle really came, he would naturally not back down, or rather, no one in the Black Hand Studio would.

Chapter 91: One wave but three twists and turns

The remaining 400,000 people were basically all members of the Guild Alliance, and their internal discipline was clear. After Wenren Shanshui and others issued the order, even if there were a few different voices, they were completely suppressed by the unified execution.

Everyone who was watching the expedition, whether they were there or watching the live broadcast, saw a heroic battle.

There was no way out. In a desperate battle, the members of the Guild Alliance launched a self-destructive attack on the Orc army with the determination to die.

The front row launched a death charge in large groups. Even though they were facing enemies that were several times their number, and even though there were nearly invincible lord-level ancient beast spirits on the opposite side, they still did not choose to take a single step back. When the people in front fell, the people behind immediately took over their positions and stood in the front line.

The priests in the rear, regardless of being trapped in the enemy's long-range attack range, will still provide treatment or blessings to the warriors and paladins who are fighting bloody battles, just like the military doctors in ancient times who bravely rushed to the battlefield despite knowing the danger. They will even take the initiative to step forward and serve in the front row when there is a gap in the front line of defense, just to create an output environment for others.

Mages and warlocks raised their hands over and over again, without holding back their most powerful attacks or curses. When their magic power was insufficient, they drank magic recovery potions while releasing various small skills, even saving the magic power of spell shields and using it all for attacks on the enemy.

The archers faced the frontal attack, sniping as many elite as possible in the Orc army to relieve the pressure on the team. Like hungry wolves, they would bite off a piece of flesh and blood from the distant enemies even if they were low on health.

Regardless of their own sacrifice, many thieves rushed into the enemy's formation from the flank with their agility and talent for stealth, attacking the shamans, witch doctors and archers behind the Orc team. When they were surrounded, they decisively took out many scrolls and bombs from their backpacks and threw them around, like the bravest suicide squad.

It was obvious that the outcome was inevitable defeat, but it not only did not shake their faith in the slightest, but instead made their fighting spirit even stronger.

These are the players, a strange group.

Sometimes they are mean and afraid of death, and sometimes they have the spirit to fight to the death.

With such a huge gap in power, even though the number of casualties on the expeditionary side increased dramatically, the Orc tribe also suffered heavy casualties.

Even I couldn't help but sigh that it was worth it for Yuwen Hao to spend a lot of money to cultivate it. The strength and discipline of the Guild Alliance cannot be formed by a few guilds at will.

"As expected of the Guild Alliance. Even though the expedition failed, their determination to fight to the death is admirable."

Xing Luo Wan Xiang looked at the heroic scene in the distance, sighed softly, and at the same time reminded everyone in the team, "It's time for us to leave."

As early as more than ten minutes ago, the number of surviving players participating in the incident fell to less than one-tenth of the original number.

The notification of the end of the event is transmitted to the interface of each player who participated in the event. Regardless of whether the latter survives or is killed and returns to the town, it means that the expedition has been completely declared a failure.

Although this battle had nothing to do with them earlier, it was obvious that after the orcs cleaned up the remaining members of the guild alliance, they would attack them, the players who were watching the show from the rear.

The best option is to retreat now before the war fully spreads to this side.

"Oh, we only killed a few orcs."

Feng Ling'er said with some regret. Just as she was about to pack up her equipment and follow the team to retreat, she caught a glimpse of a petite figure standing still in the corner of her eye. "Tongtong, aren't you going with us?"

"Wait a little longer, I don't think it will end that easily."

"It's not that simple, Xiaotong, what are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Xingluo Wanxiang couldn't help but pause and gave a puzzled look.

"Have you noticed that after so much time, the other orc army hasn't sent any reinforcements?"

I shook my head and fed Ahri a piece of rainbow crystal, and the latter snored happily on my shoulder.

Everyone in the team was stunned, and suddenly reacted.

Especially Xingluo Wanxiang, who seemed to realize something and looked behind him.

And just at this moment, a piece of news came explosively from the rear of the expeditionary force.

"These damn humans."

Ursak cursed in a low voice, but it sounded a little weak. It was obvious that they were doomed to fail, but this group of adventurers burst out with strong faith, causing tragic casualties to his army.

If it weren't for the ancient beast spirit that was summoned at the end, Ursak doubted that these people could destroy their entire army.

Fortunately, at the cost of more than 400,000 subordinates, the expeditionary force was defeated and only 30,000 to 40,000 people were left.

It was just that there were only the aftermath left to deal with, and no matter how they looked, they had won the war. However, Ursak had a bad feeling in his heart, and suddenly he thought of something.

"By the way, why haven't Imshi and the others arrived yet?"

No one could give him an answer to this question. Only the sudden and loud explosion of war roars from a distance responded to him, one after another, intensifying like a tsunami.

Ursak raised his head and looked into the distance, his pupils filled with shock.

To the west of the Barbarian Horn Plain, a huge kingdom army was overwhelming this side, first as numerous small black dots, and then like a surging tide.

"All troops advance, drive out these beasts, and use their blood to honor the honor of Levis!"

A majestic voice rang out in the army. The speaker was none other than Ron, the governor-general of the Kingdom of Levis. He drew the greatsword at his waist and pointed it at the orc army in the distance.

The shouts of the many Levis soldiers behind him shook the sky and echoed throughout the field.

"For Your Majesty!"

"For Levis!"

"charge!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers launched a massive charge, and at the same time, a rain of arrows and magic fell on the orc army, causing casualties in droves.

Only then did Ursak finally react, and a terrible thought came to his mind.

The tribe was deceived, that guy didn't come to discuss cooperation at all!

Although he didn't know why demons and humans, two apparently incompatible groups, would have a connection, now was clearly not the time to consider such issues.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Ursak shouted loudly and hit the Golden Behemoth's back hard with the scepter in his hand. The Golden Behemoth felt the pain and used all four legs to escape to the back with Ursak.

If it were normal times, he would not be afraid at all. However, they had just had a fierce battle with human adventurers, and the remaining troops were definitely not strong enough to fight Levis head-on.

Originally, after the great battle, the Orc army had no intention of fighting with Levis' army. After the shaman elder abandoned his army and fled, they immediately retreated to the east in a disorderly manner, like monkeys scattering when a tree falls.

Naturally, Ron would not miss such an opportunity, and took Levis's army to pursue.

The players who survived behind the expeditionary force were stunned when they saw this scene in the distance. From the defeat of the Constantina expeditionary force to the support of the Levis army, the twists and turns of the plot made them unable to react at all.

……

……

Happy Children's Day~big babies.

Chapter 92: Follow-up

The same applies to everything in the universe.

He had not expected such an ending, and soon he suddenly thought of something and subconsciously looked to the side, only to find that the petite figure had disappeared on the spot.

He disappeared from the team list as well, as if he had quietly left at some point.

Feng Ling'er, who was standing next to her, also discovered the situation when she saw her boyfriend's actions.

"Ah, when did Tongtong leave?"

When everyone was reminded of the empty spot on the list, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Although they had only been together for a few hours, they loved this cute and well-behaved child very much, especially the girls in the team, who sighed like old mothers.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Woo, I forgot to ask for friends..."

"Be content, she is a rich girl, if you want to hug her thighs, you have to line up."

Sheng Jiang Shao Rou listened to the discussion, chuckled and shook his head, and suddenly noticed that Xing Luo Wan Xiang next to him looked a little strange, and asked curiously, "A Luo, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xing Luo Wan Xiang raised his head and said to everyone in the team, "Let's go to Fan Si."

"Fiennes?"

Although everyone was ready to return, they were stunned when they heard the location from Xing Luo Wan Xiang. If they were going back to Dorothy Town, why would they go back to Fawns?

"A guild has sent us an invitation to join."

After hearing Xing Luo Wan Xiang's explanation, everyone immediately became interested.

"What guild is this?"

"Are there many girls?"

"Get out of here, it's not your turn anyway."

Xing Luo Wan Xiang smiled and told him the name of the guild that had left the secret message.

"Alice."

……

The news of the expedition's failure quickly swept the entire forum. Not only the war zone page, but even the general page of the two empires was flooded with various comments.

The players who had died in the initial battle with the Orc army did not say anything after returning to the town. Perhaps they were still discussing the intense situation with others, or perhaps some were complaining about the difficulty of this expedition, but these voices were only a minority.

It was not until the group of players who were scrambling for equipment were brought back that public opinion became heated. Later, when all the expeditionary forces were killed and returned to the town, they discovered many remarks that slandered the guild alliance, and immediately started to curse at each other along with the scattered players.

After a day of fermentation, the forum has become like a big pot of boiling red oil, so hot that people can't help but become impetuous as soon as they enter it.

Various arguments surrounding the expedition have also emerged.

Among them, the voice of the Guild Alliance was particularly noticeable. The management even contacted the forum administrator to pin the post and questioned the officials of Era.

One is whether the difficulty of this expedition was set too high, and the other is why Lewis's army only showed up to provide support after the expedition failed, and whether there was any official manipulation involved.

The second point in particular has caused some suspicion among many players other than those from the guild alliance.

After all, the timing of the appearance of Levis' army was too coincidental. They appeared when the expeditionary army was defeated and only the remnants of the tribe were left, and they easily cleaned up the mess.

Not only did they drive the orcs' influence to the remote southern border, but because of the failure of the expedition, they also naturally took over the captured fortress strongholds. Now when players go there, they can see many fortifications being built.

It is said that Levis sent more than 300,000 troops this time.

After the Constantana Empire expeditionary force was defeated, the reason why another army of orcs did not come to support was because they were blocked by the army sent by Levis. Coupled with the subsequent rapid actions, it did not seem like there was no organized plan at all.

The Guild Alliance suffered heavy losses in this expedition, so it is no wonder that such questions are raised.

The official Epoch Times responded quickly.

First of all, Epoch is now mainly managed by the AI. They can only handle some activities carried out in the game, and they also handle them when handing over to the AI. They have no right to operate events that will affect the progress of the Epoch game. At the same time, they posted the AI ​​Management Law and some government agreements to show that they are not involved. This matter can only be interpreted as a spontaneous act of the Kingdom of Levis.

Secondly, corresponding terms were set at the beginning of the launch of the era, and a statement would be made for each event. Players would be responsible for any consequences of participating in the event. If players choose to participate in the event, they would be subject to this condition by default.

Furthermore, the strength of the tribe is not completely invincible. It is mainly due to the players' underestimation of the enemy and insufficient information about the tribe. In the end, the official also released the entire live broadcast video as evidence.
