Chapter 121: The Birth of Young Phoenix
"This news was first transmitted by the Longxing Tianxia Commander of the Longteng Mercenary Group. His meaning was that if we unite and force were strong, we would be able to join forces and the chance of success would be higher. Moreover, according to him, the two mercenary groups, Sun Buset and Blue Falun and several other forces have begun to mobilize urgently, dispatching people to gather at the place where Chu Feng was born. Even Hua Mantian suspended the ongoing mission to form a mercenary group and cooperated with Yamato Spirit to prepare to attack with all his strength. In the melee, those with great power would not be able to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate dissidents and eliminate future competitors first. Once a single force and lonely force starts to participate in the competition, they may become the target of being exterminated first. So unless everyone decides to give up the task, if they want to go to the scene to see it, it is better to act collectively." Seeing that everyone was hesitant and undecided, Xue Wuxia expressed his opinion first.
In my opinion, the main purpose of her words is to convince the new members of the League. Although they do not have the right to vote and cannot decide the result, the number of people accounts for the majority. After all, the main beneficiaries of collective actions are core members. If people force people to participate, it will affect the unity of the Tongxin Alliance. Although any combination of forces has feelings involved, everyone has selfish intentions. The factors that keep everyone firmly together must be included in the interests, especially for us, a small group that has just established a foundation that is not stable, involving the issue of interest distribution, we should be more cautious to avoid internal conflicts.
"I also think it is better to participate collectively in the name of Tongxin Alliance. First, as the leader said, cooperating with the Longteng Mercenary Group can increase the chance of victory; second, we belong to a whole. Absent such an important occasion where all forces all appear to show their strength, it is inevitable that people will gossip, thinking that we are not strong enough and timid, and at the same time, the Tongxin Alliance lacks cohesion. In fact, I think the purpose of participation is not to obtain the phoenix feather, but to expand the influence and publicity of us. The cause of Tongxin Alliance has just begun. If our development trend is good, and every member works together, I believe that they can get the same opportunity." Maybe it is because Xue Wuxia's words are a little straightforward, and Yun Wuying made timely supplements, giving collective action a deeper meaning.
Xue Wuxia seemed to have realized something, and was stunned. From my perspective, she just caught her in Chong Yun Wuying and passed a look. There seemed to be a different meaning in her eyes. Unfortunately, she didn't wait for me to study in depth and her expression returned to normal. She faced everyone with a calm smile.
After a discussion, everyone's opinions were fully listened to. Finally, the core members unanimously passed the collective action plan. Except for a few life professions, all combat professions participated in the action and acted in concert with the Longteng Mercenary Group. If they were lucky enough to obtain the phoenix feather, the ownership of the spoils will be determined according to the role played by both parties in it, and the other party who received the phoenix feathers will be given appropriate material compensation.
After the meeting, we took a break and went to the place where Phoenix was born to meet with Longxing Tianxia and the others. Let’s first get familiar with the environment there. There are quite a few players who think they are capable and dare to undertake this mission. There are many players everywhere along the way, at least in groups of three or five, or even dozens of people. They are very active alone. The Whispering Plain is unprecedentedly lively. After all, only a very small number of related people can borrow the teleportation arrays of the four major mercenaries to quickly travel to the Whispering Plain. Most players can only venture through the dark forest based on their strength and luck. If it weren’t for the temptation of the “Phoenix Feather” mission, it would be difficult to see such a lively scene.
Long Xingtianxia had already received the news and welcomed the two deputy leaders Bai Yunjian and Jack Gaoge from afar, giving us enough face. Some members of the group who were already somewhat suspicious and worried that Longteng would use their power to suppress others had more confidence in cooperation when they saw this, and their expressions became much cheerful.
After a few greetings, Long Xingtianxia continued to introduce the situation, "The scope given in the mission is relatively vague, with a radius of ten miles, and every place is possible, and it is difficult to predict the exact location. You can only find a place on the periphery first, and then make plans. There are still seven hours before the birth of the Phoenix. Thousands of players have gathered here. Many people start to act immediately as soon as they get the news, and the number of people is still increasing. Most players are affiliated with various forces of all sizes, among which the Sun Buluo Mercenary Group and Hua Mantian have the largest forces, and now the members have reached more than 400. It seems that they are the ones who are in the world.
Their peripheral forces have also been recruited. The Blue Falun mercenary group of the Ganges God of War also gathered more than 200 people, Korean masters, Korean and Korean orthodox and Golden Sunflower, etc. have also appeared. However, their people can only travel through the dark forest to come here. Now there are not many people, only fifty or sixty. Our Longteng has only eighty-nine formal members, and the strength of the peripheral members is a little worse. It is estimated that the holy beast Phoenix is not something we can deal with at this stage using human sea tactics, so there is no need to send them to die. With the more than 50 people from the Tongxin Alliance working together, the chance of success is not smaller than those combinations of mixed quality."
"How do you plan to attack?" As the deputy commander in charge of combat affairs, Afeng is most concerned about tactical issues.
I immediately focused my attention and couldn't help but get back together. I used to be the leader. Since this time it was a joint battle, I was dealing with the powerful holy beast Phoenix. It was not something that weak zombies could resist. I shouldn't be able to charge forward anymore.
"This is the first time that the holy beast Phoenix has appeared in "The World". There is no ready-made experience to learn from. I have referenced the settings about Phoenix in other games. If you fight with it in close combat, you will suffer a lot of losses. Our initial plan is to try to focus on long-range attacks, attack it with bows and arrows and magic. In addition, all the knights are gathered together and follow the Phoenix. Don't easily participate in the attack. Once you find that a feather has fallen, you will immediately start a charge and rob. Other melee professions are responsible for protecting shooters and magicians. The scene will be very mixed at that time. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of the fire to eliminate dissidents. Our enemy is not only the phoenix that was born, but also be careful of other player forces, especially when the phoenix feathers are fallen, and you must beware of the plot from behind you." The heart of defense is indispensable. Long Xingtianxia's words confirm this.
This is similar to the tactics we discussed. At that time, we joined forces and a total of 141 members were dispatched in a unified manner. Among them, there were forty-six knights, two-thirds of which were affiliated with Long Teng, commanded by Long Xing Tianxia and Afeng. Among them, only Long Xing Tianxia was promoted to the advanced magic knight, and the other thirty-six people, including Afeng, were intermediate knights; the twenty-seven archers, most of them were from our Tongxin Alliance, and they were third-level professions, commanded by Yun Wuying and Tianya Prodigal Son; the twenty-four magicians, Long Teng accounted for a small majority, led by Xue Wuxia and Baiyunjian, the only senior magician. Because of my special skills, I do not belong to any group and can act according to the opportunity; the other forty-three professions such as swordsmen, axe warriors, thieves, etc. are led by senior berserkers, and are responsible for protecting and transmitting messages.
Assign their respective responsibilities, leave some people to stay, and then they began to observe the environment everywhere. The knights continued to gallop around and be familiar with the terrain of each place. It seemed that the temptation of growing weapons was too great. Players gathered more and more, and they were very likely to occupy this place completely. Although they could attack first when the Phoenix was born, they would also face the Phoenix's counterattack first. At such a close distance, it would be difficult for players to survive. If it were me, I would never dare to
So close to an unknown bomb. This is also the reason why Long Xingtian dared not station the team. If the Phoenix was born near the Sagittarius and Magician cluster, who knows what would happen? The holy beast should not be insulted. If the young phoenix is so powerful and is attacked by the enemy in close proximity, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even several larger forces such as Sun Bulu and Blue Falun have arranged their main forces in the peripheral areas. It seems that they are all guarding against being raided by the Phoenix and becoming victims of the first wave of attacks.
As time goes by, more and more players gathered here. It is roughly estimated that more than 10,000 people have already been reached. Since they can successfully pass through the dark forests full of crises, they should be masters. Fortunately, they are all divided into different combinations of forces. Even the largest Yamato Spirit and Huamantian Alliance, there are only more than 600 people, and no force can have an absolute advantage.
As the time when the Phoenix was born in the announcement was approaching, the players became more and more nervous. Most of them summoned their pets early, and were ready to attack at any time. I did not summon the undead legion. I did not know where the Phoenix was born. They were slow and it was useless to summon it too early. I did not stay with archer magicians like Xue Wuxia Yun Wuying. Instead, I summoned Taotao and mixed in the team of knights. Although it was more dangerous, there was no way. Afeng was here. I knew that he would definitely fight to death and would stop Hua Mantian from getting the phoenix feathers. I couldn't watch him die alone.
Time finally came, suddenly, a series of thunderous thunders in the air, and the earth swayed slightly. This should be the sign of the birth of the holy beast. There was a sudden commotion among the players, and they stared around with their eyes wide open, looking for the traces of the phoenix.
"Boom", a burst sounded, and a big hole suddenly exploded in a place in the middle of the crowd. Before the dozen players gathered nearby had already been injured by the power of the explosion, turning into white lights and becoming the first group of martyrs. Then, thousands of red lights shot out from the entrance of the cave, rushing straight into the sky, reflecting half of the sky. In a blink of an eye, the red light suddenly subsided and quickly retracted. Then, accompanied by a loud and clear long sound, a red shadow jumped out of the ground.
The holy beast Phoenix is indeed a beautiful creature, surrounded by red light, even if it is a distance, it looks so clear and eye-catching. At first glance, it looks like a huge eagle. Although it is just a newly born young phoenix, it is more than two meters tall and full of red. When you look closely, each feather seems to be colorful, with a faint golden light. There is a colorful crown on the top of your head, which reflects its identity as the king of thousands of birds. It has a pair of emerald green eyes and two long tail feathers, spreading their wings and heads, looking at them proudly, full of the kingly style that looks down on the world.
It can be seen that the newly born Phoenix is excited, but unfortunately this excitement has not lasted for long. The players who have woken up nearby do not have the leisure and elegance to appreciate its beauty, and they all launched attacks with their strongest skills.
The phoenix was angry and raised its head and let out a long sound, opening the prelude to the massacre. Without any signs, fire balls suddenly burst out around its body. All those who were directly hit turned into coke, and those who were affected were burned to pieces. Before they could be glad, their wings spread out and several fire walls swept across, and there was no survivor in the vicinity of ten meters.
Even if the young phoenix showed the power of the holy beast as soon as it came into contact, most of the players present had the awareness of dying. At most, they could face the wall for six hours. What could it be compared to that huge temptation? No one who was willing to retreat, either charged or fought, launched a more violent attack.
"Explosive Fireball" and "Fire Wall" are both advanced fire-type magic, but the phoenix is even more light-weight when used, as if it is throwing a small fireball. In addition, it can spit out "flame rays" from its mouth, sweeping it casually like a fire gun, causing great damage to the player. Moreover, its defense looks very high, and many attacks do not seem to have much effect on it, so it can only further infuriate it and attract more violent counterattacks.
After experiencing the initial chaos, players participating in the attack gradually began to change their strategies and spontaneously cooperated. After seeing the terrifying lethality of Phoenix, the melee profession dared not easily approach to die, but instead used to go to harassment of Phoenix to attract the attention of Phoenix. The shooter and the magician stepped up the attack from a distance, hoping to defeat a half of the feathers. Fortunately, the ability of the young phoenix was limited, and they could only jump around like a pheasant, with no way to fly, and the speed was not fast, and the attack distance of the magic was relatively close. Otherwise, even the shooter and the magician would have to be affected, so there would be no time to attack.
