My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1287 1285. Others are afraid of me, so go all in, do it!
"Master Qin! Urgent news, the player casualties are soaring! According to the news they shared on the world channel, they encountered a very dangerous deep-sea monster at the bottom of the sea."

In the "Iron Heart Exterminator" airship which served as the second command center, Lao Qin, who seemed a little silent because of many farewells in reality, sat by the window with a pipe in his mouth. He had just come online and was about to light tobacco for himself when he saw the domestic 003 pushing the door in anxiously to report a bad news.

This made Master Qin raise his eyebrows, put away the regret in his heart, switch to work mode in a second, and ask in a serious tone:
"Were they attacked by the same monster? Or were they attacked in different locations? Apart from the team that was wiped out, is there any other news?"

"It all started when Mr. Niu's guild was suddenly attacked while searching for fleeing murlocs in the territory of the second murloc clan that had just been defeated. Almost at the same time, other newbies who had been dispersed also encountered similar incidents. I summarized the information sent back by the staff of each battle group and found that in the past four hours, the number of elite monsters and bosses in this abyssal battlefield has been abnormally increasing!
The teams that were wiped out in the attack were all composed of newbies with very poor combat effectiveness, but there were also veteran players who managed to counterattack when they were attacked.

In the messages from the teams that killed the monsters, I found that they had basically seized a special item called the 'Filthy Symbiote Crystal' from the monsters. More than seven players were forced to log off because they were contaminated by touching the corrupted thing casually. Now all the seized Symbiote Crystals have been collected by us. "

003 took out his computing orb and displayed the location of the attack and battle in front of Mr. Qin. Old Qin leaned over to take a look and immediately frowned. He said:
"So many attack locations? Why do these elite monsters appear in such a large number at once? Is it possible that the anniversary celebration has entered the second stage? Any other news?"

"In addition to the old players who are tired of fishing and are preparing to form a group to hunt these elite monsters that come to their doorstep, Brother Wu Miao also posted a paid post on the forum. I went in and took a look. He said that Dagon Symbiote Crystal can be exchanged for very high-level equipment rewards from Lord Murphy. He also mysteriously hinted that these things are related to the 'new gameplay' that will be launched in the next version.

I suspect that guy may have first-hand information, but he is obviously hiding it and unwilling to share it. "

003 replied:
"After tracking the Big Bird Group's actions, we discovered that Brother Wu Miao and his team had been actively hunting those monsters that suddenly appeared in the past two hours. Obviously, they were sure that they could get a huge profit from this challenging and difficult hunting.

It was also under their leadership that the Silver Moon Group and the Student Party have begun similar actions.

We did not stop them from leaving the front battlefield. After discussion, the staff members thought that for these T0 players, it would be a waste of combat power to let them attack ordinary murlocs. Instead, clearing out the powerful monsters that appeared everywhere on the battlefield would effectively reduce the interference that ordinary player teams would suffer during their actions. "

Mr. Qin nodded and approved the decision of the staff.

He carefully looked at the map of the attack location that 003 had taken out. From the densely packed red dots on the map, he could tell that the attack by this group of elite monsters was completely illogical. The farthest point where the players had been attacked was even close to the Evil Beast Castle.

With the current progress of the battle, it has become a real "rear area".

These ferocious creatures seem to appear suddenly without any warning. If other factors are not taken into consideration, this is very similar to the "monster refresh" situation in the game.

However, Mr. Qin guessed that these things must have some special "mechanism".

After the mermaid sentinels delayed military operations, the mermaids had already sent out elite veterans to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, but these monsters were still able to bypass the mermaid priests' monitoring of the sea area. This only showed that these guys had come with ill intentions and were definitely assisted by the Abyss Walkers of the Dagon Cult, who had always been against the mermaids.

This special situation itself represents that the hidden thread of the anniversary celebration is gradually emerging.

After a moment, Lao Qin lit his dwarf pipe, blew out a smoke ring, and asked:

"How strong are these elite monsters that suddenly appeared?"

"Well, that depends on what kind of players you can encounter in the place where they 'refresh'."

003 said helplessly:

"When we encounter T0 players like the Big Bird Group or the Brotherhood of Wamu, we basically give them a 'snack'. When we encounter the Zodiac Team, we can deal with these tough guys with relatively little casualties. Even if it's a strong newbie like Mr. Niu, as long as we are not wiped out in an instant, we can barely fight to the death with the opponent.

But non-combat professionals and newbies are absolutely unable to deal with these evil creatures.

According to the information we have collected, these monsters, regardless of their size and species, all carry the mental shock unique to chaotic creatures and chaos damage that ignores defense. The fragile minds of the newbies cannot resist the mental pollution, and their accumulated equipment makes it difficult to cause effective damage to these guys.

Perhaps because they are protected by the power of evil gods, these monsters generally have a blood recovery mechanism. In short, they are quite tricky.

At present, our player teams have been scattered on the battlefield. If no further measures are taken, each of their independent teams may be attacked by these evil creatures at any time.

In addition, the mermaids also suffered similar attacks, and their casualties were much greater than ours. These Dagon demons seem to have a unique malice towards the mermaids. They will first attack the mermaid warriors and priests. This is also one of the information summarized by the players in the past few hours. "

"I see."

Master Qin nodded, thought for a moment, and said:
"Gather the war groups composed of ordinary players, issue them orders to pursue the remnants of the Murlocs and prepare for the third Murloc War. Then, gather the top 500 players on the player power list, group them into groups of ten as special warfare units, separate them from the ordinary warfare sequence and hand them over to the five pairs of wheels to command personally.

They also don't need to participate in the subsequent attack on the Murloc clan, and can focus on clearing out these constantly refreshing dangerous monsters.

Then send out the Twelve Zodiac Regiment under Chen Long, and mix our elite core players with the mermaid warriors to reduce their casualties when fighting against the attacks of the demons. I need to discuss this issue with the mermaid commander.

They also need to send out elite hunters to work with the players. Their understanding of this sea area can greatly help the players complete the hunt faster."

"Ah."

003 saluted and went to convey the order. Lao Qin also left the airship, put on his exoskeleton and entered the deep-sea battlefield. As a result, just after jumping down and before hitting the bottom of the sea, he encountered a shameless sneak attack by a giant cutlassfish monster.

The guy was hiding in a dark sand pit in the deep sea. He pounced towards Lao Qin and scared the old man.

However, commanders like him are always accompanied by guards, and although Lao Qin's combat power is average, he will never be scared by elite monsters.

The three Mo Yu brothers immediately drew their swords and went forward to fight with the giant cutlassfish. Lao Qin also drew out his Hades sword and plasma pistol to join in the fun and help out while stretching his muscles. A moment later, another power armor knight was airdropped and it took a few minutes to kill the ferocious monster.

Now Lao Qin finally felt the strength of these suddenly refreshed Dagon demons. No wonder ordinary players would suffer heavy losses from the sneak attacks of these things. The strength of this thing can be used as the opening BOSS in a five-person version.

“Is the development team crazy?”

The paid slacker guarding Lao Qin complained in a low voice:

"We sent hundreds of these small bosses into the battlefield at once. Do you think our anniversary war went too smoothly?"

"no!"

The guy next to him who was eating fish with salary shook his head and said:

"I read Wu Miao's paid post. That stingy bastard guessed that this was because the anniversary celebration plot was about to push into the hidden main plot, which was the battle between the evil god Dagon and the human body of the Abyss Heavenly Lord. These bosses were just messengers sent by Dagon to attack the servants of the Abyss Heavenly Lord.

The real grand scene will have to wait until the mermaids' Sea Abyss celebration begins and when the Sea Abyss Lord appears.

In other words, this is just a warm-up.

I guess when the plot reaches its climax, the entire battlefield will be filled with BOSS monsters of this size. By then, hehe, it’s exciting just to think about it.”

"Don't excite me. If it really was like what you said, the players would probably cry. It's okay if the whole battlefield is full of small bosses! The most important thing is that this thing didn't drop!"

The youngest of the three brothers who were slacking off complained bitterly:
"After all the effort to kill it, I was given a strange crystal. The skeleton of this thing has been corroded. There is no way to collect manufacturing materials. The profit is really low."

"The development team won't do such a thing." Looking at the filthy crystal being sealed in a box by Master Qin, he whispered:

"If you ask me, this crystal must be very valuable. Didn't Meow Meow also say that? This thing can be exchanged for rewards and reputation from Master Murphy. Master Murphy is a main NPC. Do you think he would find something common if he wants it?"

"Yeah, that's true."

The other two brothers were persuaded by their eldest brother, but Lao Qin was now focusing on another issue.

He quickened his pace towards the merman's headquarters, but just as he arrived near the Beast Castle, he saw a wounded Son of Tristana "landing" nearby in an emergency. Then a large group of merman girls were carried down on stretchers by the noisy players.

The players who mastered the healing skills were still frantically healing the seriously injured mermaid girls. Xiao Ashina, who was wearing a "Red Cross" armband, stood on the turtle's war platform, waving a small flag and shouting:
“Don’t be anxious! Don’t be anxious! Don’t panic, send the most seriously injured fishtail sister down first, and let those who can still hold on cry for a while! Ah, don’t be lazy, Brother Huozi! Hurry up and cast the healing spell, don’t you see that the fishtail sister next to you is rolling her eyes!”

"Fuck! This is such a big scene."

The paid slacker behind Master Qin complained harshly, but when they saw the wounded being continuously sent into the battlefield by the players, the expressions of the three soldiers all became serious.

There were more than 200 mermaids rescued, and they couldn’t imagine how many there were that had not been rescued.

The scene before him must have been that these mermaid warriors had encountered a terrible attack and were rescued by a kind-hearted player passing by. Qin Ye frowned even deeper. He walked to the nearest stretcher, squatted down and looked at the mermaid warriors lying on it.

The latter's eyes were blank and seemed to have lost focus, and he was still muttering "the abyss is approaching" to himself.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Mental trauma, mental withering. If there is no adventure, this kind of injury appears on the NPC and there is basically no cure."

Lao Qin, who had dealt with chaotic creatures many times, sighed, shook his head and said:

"Although the counterattack of the fishmen was beyond our expectations, I knew that the plot of this anniversary celebration would not end so smoothly. It seems that the war situation has been severely intensified. What on earth did you encounter over there?"

Lao Qin called out to Yuan, who was carrying a merman with a broken tail on his back and running to the treatment area. The blood-covered hunter turned around and shouted:
“A super-giant fallen whale shark appeared in the trench over there!
We happened to pass by and saw the mermaid vanguards being defeated and tortured by that bastard. Now Lady Water and the others are still fighting monsters over there, but from the information I have seen, the stats of that whale shark are already comparable to those of a raid boss.

No one knows how many similar things there are in this increasingly dangerous trench, but what is certain is that the days of comfortably brushing military merits are likely to be over. "

Old Qin looked back at the widespread grief behind him, thinking about what to do next, and then walked quickly into the mermaid headquarters with his three guards. It was very busy here. Ms. Dena, Commander Nikita and even Governor Hood, who happened to be inspecting here, were all acting as doctors to treat their poor sisters.

Not far away, Ms. Bijuka, who was intimidating without even getting angry, was calling on the power of Haiyuan Tianzun to form a mind-repairing barrier to heal the mentally traumatized warriors.

"The situation on the battlefield has changed. It seems that your army can no longer attack at will. I propose that all reconnaissance missions be completed by our warriors, and all of you participate in the assault on the Murloc Clan.

In addition, I also need a group of giant priests who can provide spell support and tide hunters who are familiar with the terrain. They need to cooperate with our elite warriors to hunt these demons. We must clear these dangerous creatures as much as possible before the next war against the murlocs begins. To this end, we will send powerful power armor knights to participate in the hunt."

At this critical moment, Lao Qin made his own suggestions to the commanders in front of him. The mermaids did not object, but Ms. Bijuka, who was maintaining the healing barrier not far away, had her own opinion on this. She explained:

"These demon descendants are just the abyss announcement of Dagon's coming. General of the land people, the current situation reminds me of the war that took place in Penglai Province hundreds of years ago.

According to my experience back then, their numbers will continue to increase rapidly until the moment when Dagon's abyssal shadow shines into the material world from the warp space and reaches its peak. Perhaps the tragic war in the Moon City Province will be repeated in the Great Reef Province.

If we can't resist and are defeated, then the second Moon Kingdom will be born here. Are you sure your warriors can really take on the responsibility of dealing with the Abyss Demons?"

This high-ranking merman took a look at Master Qin's expression. In order to avoid misunderstandings from the mainlanders, she further explained:

"It's not that I don't trust your courage. The wars of the past few days have confirmed to me that you are definitely the best mercenaries in the world. However, the gathering of Dagon's descendants is another concept. These things are an extreme threat to any orderly life!
So I have another suggestion.

In this situation, the best option is not to continue advancing, but to adopt the tactics we used in the past. We should suspend the advance, hold here and wait for the human body of Haiyuan Tianzun to arrive before launching a resolute counterattack.

Tianzun will arrive at the battlefield in a few days, and we can use this time to treat and rest the soldiers.

Of course, you can also choose to move forward bravely and face Dagon's endless demon descendants alone without the help of the gods, but this action is extremely dangerous and I do not agree with it."

"You can continue to stay here and wait for the arrival of the Lord, Ms. Bijuka."

Lao Qin obviously did not comment on this proposal. He waved his hand and said bluntly:
“Even without your participation, we will not swallow our anger under the provocation of the abyss monsters. To be frank, even without the participation of even one mermaid, we Transians can still defeat powerful enemies and demonstrate the majesty of order in this sea abyss. However, this is the territory of the mermaids!
If you can tolerate the absence of mermaids in a war that will determine the future of the Great Reef Province and even the entire ocean, I don't mind.

Your strategy is quite safe and conservative. I know that you used this method to drive out the evil god and its servants hundreds of years ago. However, it is not as good as before now, Lady Bijuka. On the land outside the ocean, we have had several battles with the increasingly arrogant Chaos Vanguards.

My experience tells me that when faced with the provocation of chaos, you have no choice but to retreat!

Putting all hopes on the power of gods as we do now can only prove the weakness of mortals. Unfortunately, that is definitely not the choice of the Transians.

We can win without gods!
That's all for this.

We will set out tomorrow and launch an attack on the third murloc clan according to the original battle plan. I hope to see you on the battlefield then.

In addition, please immediately withdraw those warriors who are unable to protect themselves when facing the descendants of Dagon. The lives of the warriors should be used correctly on the right battlefield, rather than letting the cornerstone of victory be used to fight against the dark edge of the abyss.

Everyone has a place in this war.

And the hardest work that must be done in achieving victory will be done by us, the foreigners!"

After saying that, Master Qin saluted and strode away, leaving a group of mermaid commanders staring at each other. The land people's general and the mermaid's religious leader proposed two different plans. Now they must make a decision before the land people launch the third offensive.

Ms. Bijuka was not angry because of Mr. Qin's toughness. She was just impressed by the bravery and courage of the Transians. She did not forcefully demand that the mermaid leaders of the Great Reef Province obey her will. She was very clear about her position.

She was just a guest.

The person who can truly decide the attitude, actions and future of the local mermaids is Governor Hood. After all, this war was unilaterally initiated by her.

Under the gaze of all the mermaids, Governor Hood hesitated for a few minutes, then bit her lip and said to Nikita and Ms. Dena:

"I may have been infected by the courage of the people on land, but I do feel that we cannot passively wait for the gods to bestow grace and help us solve everything. I heard Governor Murphy say that in the war between order and chaos, gods have their own enemies, and humans have their own battlefields.

In that case, let us follow our brave Transian allies and move forward!

It would be best if we could gain a victory worthy of recognition before the arrival of the God of Heaven, so as to show our God of Vengeance that the mermaids, who have been blessed by him for nearly a thousand years, are by no means weak.

So, we continue to fight!"
