The Truth of Magic



591 Chaos and preparation, the beginning of death

that’s why the militia reserve is on emergency standby. The other reserve personnel should quickly arrange for the elderly and children to go to the central area’s defense area.

On the stage, soldier Lu tie immediately shouted. With his strong voice, everyone below the stage could hear him clearly.

Even Arthur’s region, which had been cultivated by civilized races for many years, couldn’t guarantee the safety of the wilderness in that area.

Even in a place like Mystra, where legends were as common as dogs, there were still countless dark and underground forces hidden in the surroundings.

The danger in the Wildlands was even more obvious.

in the early days, countless transmigrators who wanted to explore the outside world on their feet encountered difficulties and returned home as soon as they left the gathering area. how could they survive?

As for those who were well-prepared and headed for a target that was far away, if there were no camps to rely on along the way, they were basically dead.

There was a limit to the number of people in the wild, but there was no limit to the number of monsters. This was the cruelest truth of the Wildlands.

even zhao xu and the others only dared to set off in his previous life after they had made a large migration and accumulated enough power as a group of transmigrators from earth.

Without the protection of players, the Wildlands was basically a dead end.

Fortunately, in the first two weeks of the camp’s construction, they had been harassed by monsters from the outside world. Similar ” emergency drills ” were performed with real guns and bullets. The children were not too flustered and only followed the nearby instructors to split up.

The rest of the adults who had returned from their break also ran to the nearby Armory to find the one-handed close-combat weapon ” short Spears ” that had been made by cutting down trees and grinding stones and ironware.

The spear itself was the simplest weapon, and the short spear was a simplified version.

Even in the city, its price was not more than one gold coin, and it was widely loved by the common militia. At the same time, short Spears could also be arranged into a spear formation to defend against a charge, so it had become the standard weapon of countless camps.

After Zhao Xu saw what was going on in the arena, he felt a bit more at ease.

in the past two weeks, the camp had undergone many combat exercises, and the entire escape plan could be carried out in an orderly manner.

However, the people at the back were able to escape in peace because there was someone in front of them who was holding firewood and starting a fire for them.

The young people who were on duty every day had a trace of panic on their faces, and many parents even cried out with tears in their eyes, as if they were going to say goodbye to each other in life and death.

This was also the most realistic portrayal of the Wildlands at this moment. The temporary wooden fences around the camp could only stop ordinary wild beasts, but could not stop the advance of the undead tide.

All the battalions could only withdraw from their formations and abandon most of the buildings. They could only huddle together to protect their people and then set up spear formations in all directions to counterattack.

The players and the elite militia were patrolling the battlefield to launch fixed attacks.

On the first night in Yanan city, Zhao Xu had already given out this plan to defend against the undead horde, so he wasn’t worried at all that Yanan would run into the undead horde that would erupt regularly in the Wildlands.

On the contrary, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to observe the undead tide’s form of effect at a close distance, to see if he could find any places that he had not noticed when he was a warrior in his previous life.

In other words, he had to find out the reason why the undead tide had formed.

He believed that in his previous life, Wang Ningwei and the others must have found the cause and eliminated it. However, he was in a low position back then and had no way to know such a high-level secret.

The ‘undead tide’ was a phenomenon that would occur regularly in the Wildlands.

In general, the most common undead creatures in the dead land were ghouls, skeletons, and zombie teams.

The other undead sequence-Ghoul (1) demonic ghost (3) vengeful spirit (3) mummy (3) shadow (3) corpse demon (3) blood sucking derivative (4) bone claw (5) kus “heir (5)-spirit bind (5) spirit (7)-boda corpse (8) devil soul corpse (8), skeleton Naga (11), crimson mist demon, soul caging demon (11), Lich (13), tomb worm (16), resentful spirit (16), Banshee (17), Slayer demon (17), burning Body Spirit (17), mind stealing Lich (18), corpse grave demon (19), hungry spirit (19), violent wind (19), flying Night Shadow (14), lurking Night Shadow (16), giant worm Night Shadow (18), and so on. Most of the time, it was based on luck.

however, when the ” tide of death ” erupted, it was as if the negative energy core in the depths of the ley lines would burst out energy that could excite the undead creatures.

At this time, apart from ghouls, skeletons, and zombies, the undead creatures that were rarely seen would surge out like a tide, just like what he had encountered in the tunnel of the death God’s demiplane.

Sometimes, a few powerful undead creatures could easily destroy a camp with tens of thousands of people.

this was especially true when they had the ability to ” infect ”

Hence, the survival of a Battalion depended more on ‘luck’.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu and the others had decided to leave the Wildlands and join another faction after much consideration in his previous life.

Slowly, noises came from the distance, accompanied by cries and screams. The orderly retreat team began to become chaotic.

run! The monster is here. It’s too scary.

“It’s so fast that it’s scary this time.”

“Those aren’t ordinary skeletons and zombies!”

Zhao Xu’s listen skill allowed him to hear the commotion ahead of him faster than anyone else. It was obvious that the outermost line of defense couldn’t even hold on for a moment before it collapsed.

“What’s the number of soldiers patrolling the perimeter?” Zhao Xu immediately asked Lu tie, who was directing the crowd on stage.

As for the young Windchaser, he was about to curse out loud when he was interrupted in such an emergency.

But when he saw Zhao Xu showing off the power of a level 30 or above sword, he knew that Zhao Xu was like a sword God. So, he controlled his temper and explained patiently, ” there are at least 500 patrolling militia on the outer layer, and many of them have begun to advance to Level 1 mercenaries. There are also at least dozens of Warriors on guard outside.

At this time, the most important thing in all the camps in the Wildlands was the same as in ancient times,”plowing” and “fighting.”

Even the famous singers before transmigration had started to take the ” Bard ” route.

the more advanced talents would be assigned to management and professional training, the rest would be assigned to the garrison department, and the rest would be assigned to production to produce daily necessities in the camp. when the time came, they would be distributed according to ” tickets “.

As for the last, and also the largest number of people, who did not have any skills at the moment, they were assigned to open up new lands and farm.

So Zhao Xu wasn’t surprised that there were hundreds of people guarding the gate of a large camp. It was just that they had been defeated too quickly.

Lu tie instantly understood what Zhao Xu meant, and his expression immediately changed. He realized that this ” attack ” wasn’t on the same scale as the previous ones.

He immediately shouted, ” level one alert! Level one alert! Retreat quickly! No matter the cost! Give up on recovering the resources!

Hearing this, a few of the more fragile militiamen almost cried out, but when everyone clenched their weapons and was ready to step forward, they could only swallow their tears.

Zhao Xu immediately checked the Buffs and spells he had on him.

The battle was about to begin, and he had to see what he needed to replenish to deal with the tide of undead.

After obtaining his potential points, he started to burn spells that he didn’t think were important.

For example, he had cast the relic Explorer’s wealth spell four times in a row. The three major immunity, fortitude, reflex, and will, had increased his luck, which was equivalent to charm adjustment, and his HP had also increased.

At the same time, there were several famous spell combinations in Arthur’s spell system. If one had more than one combined spell at the same time, they could produce a ” common effect, ” such as the ” unicorn combination ” and the ” original combination.

After a final inspection, he waved his hand at Lu tie and said, ” withdraw the defense line. The attack this time is far beyond your imagination.

The unluckiest thing was that this camp was unlucky enough to encounter a ” powerful ” level ” undead calamity “.

Fortunately, he was here to participate in the negotiation.

—————–

I’m sorry, but we can’t accept your conditions. Although we all admire Mr. Zhongxia and believe that Yanan will grow into a towering tree in the future, at this moment, we believe in our own hands even more. We can create a beautiful future for ourselves.

On the long table, a poet player said. Before this, he had already started an endless debate.

What he had just said was his final conclusion.

although your Yanan is large now, our camp has also formed a scale, and the number of players is also not small. After we merge with your nominal Federation, we don’t even have much autonomy. Another middle-aged man in charge of the production organization said. In his previous life, he had been the Vice President of a top 500 company. Although he did not have a professional level, he had quickly obtained a key position in the new organization with his ability.

This change from business to politics also allowed him to step into a door that was previously difficult to reach.

Thus, even if the conditions were tough, he had been struggling day and night during this period of time. If he rashly joined them now, he would definitely not be able to maintain his original position.

Even if he didn’t face it directly, he was very alert to Yanan’s ” management ladder ” that had formed a system at the moment.

yeah, in the past two weeks, we’ve worked hard to stabilize the current situation in the camp from nothing. In the end, we’ve only just settled it, and you Yanan came to pick the peach? ” Another warrior player in charge of training the militia opposed.

At this moment, the upper echelons of the camp in the room, players and non-players, had increased from the initial 50 – 50 chance to 70 – 30 chance, and this gap would only get bigger and bigger.

Especially for players with high intelligence and charm, it was easy for them to find that they were more suitable for ” Management ” work and could do it well.

However, the atmosphere in the room was very intense, as if no one was in favor of joining.

The negotiators from Yanan’s side, who were sitting below, had ugly expressions on their faces, especially the person in charge.

He knew that at this moment, Yanan had sent no less than 20 negotiation teams to the various camps.

Just the choice of the camp had caused a huge debate within Yanan. The higher-ups all wanted to include their own hometown in the negotiation. The initial target of the twenty camp areas was also discussed for more than half a day before it was decided by Wang Ningwei.

How could they have thought that ” taking in “, a move that they, Yanan, felt was a favor, would be rejected one day?

However, he also understood that the smaller the scale of the camp, the more difficult it was to sustain itself. A small disturbance could destroy the small camp, so naturally, he was eager to join.

However, the camp in front of them seemed to be able to sustain itself for a while without Yanan. This was also the reason why the other party was so confident.

But wasn’t this a little too strange?

since when did their yanan have no face?

Their final boss, zhongxia, was now known as the savior of the Earth.

After thinking about it in surprise, the person in charge of the negotiation also reacted and couldn’t help but smile.

The room was too stuffy, and he was a little slow due to the lack of oxygen.

With ya Nan’s reputation, the camp’s higher-ups at the opposite table would not resist this negotiation. Otherwise, they would not even be able to rush to the door.

Furthermore, how could the higher-ups of the organization be so United that there was no independent voice at all?

The other party’s agreement was actually because they had discussed it beforehand.

Now that they were arguing with each other, it was even more like asking for a sky-high price to return the money on the spot.

Since this was the case, it was easy to handle. Yanan’s negotiator thought about the measures on the ” list ” and prepared to let one out for discussion.

“BOOM!”

Suddenly, a large amount of noise could be heard.

“What’s wrong? An attack?” Immediately, the leader of the camp stood up and asked.

At this moment, a panting militiaman ran in. it’s not good. There are so many undead creatures. They’ve rushed into the camp, and hundreds of people have died in the periphery.

Immediately, the expressions of the higher-ups, who had been deducing the camp’s defenses every night, changed. They knew far better than the people outside what this meant.

This was so short that a normal signal didn’t even have time to send-message. It could only mean one thing-

The enemy this time could destroy the entire camp.

The person in charge of the negotiations on Yanan’s side smiled and closed his mouth. It seemed that the conditions of autonomy prepared by the higher-ups need not be said.
