It was obvious that this ball of light had put in a lot of effort when it said the word 'die'. Li Huailin trembled uncontrollably, as if he would really be killed if he failed the mission. However, when he came back to his senses, he just smiled. How could that be possible? Of course, no matter what, it was impossible for Li Huailin to lose.
At this point, the rules seemed to have been explained, and the ball of light didn't seem to have the intention to repeat it. It was obvious that the place where the two of them would be fighting would not be here. Li Huailin felt that they should be teleported there directly, but they hadn't done so yet. Looking at the map in front of him, Li Huailin reckoned that it was to give them some time to memorize the map.
"Hey, you look like you don't have much confidence." Li Huailin said to Hoppes, "An Undead Emperor who doesn't have any undead soldiers … Interesting. Have you thought of how to explain this to those people you've killed?"
"Same to you …" Hoppes looked at Li Huailin and said with a smile, "I heard that you have an elegant nickname called the Million Duke, and you like to slaughter commoners … I wonder how you are going to explain this to them. Also, do those commoners really have any battle prowess?"
"How could commoners have any battle prowess?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "But I have a way to make them have battle prowess."
"Oh?" Hoppes smiled.
"Of course. I'm someone who possesses a divine sword." Li Huailin spread his hands. "Oh, right. You seem to be a former wielder of Dim Light, so you should know its attributes. It's true that commoners don't have much battle prowess, but after turning them into Undead Soldiers, they will have battle prowess. After all, Dim Light's halo can increase all attributes by 45%, and it can also recover health … With this enhancement, even a commoner can reach the same level as an ordinary Warrior …"
Hoppes was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. "Are you joking? Or are you really stupid? Just now, this guy said that we can't kill people. If we kill someone, we'll be judged to have lost. Under such circumstances, you want to turn your subordinates into Undead Soldiers … "
"We can't kill people, but we didn't say our subordinates can't kill people." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "The Undead Army's skill will work as long as there are corpses. It doesn't say that you have to kill someone with your own hands to become an undead. So, can't you just let your subordinates do it?"
"Hmm?" Hoppes was stunned, as if he had just thought of this question.
"So, what awaits you will soon be a huge army of undead. Do you miss your divine sword? Unfortunately, it is now mine. You will definitely lose this time," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"You look really confident. But what's the outcome?" Hoppes didn't reveal any expression that could be read as he replied calmly.
"Haha …" Li Huailin smiled slightly. It was obvious that Hoppes had seen through his deliberate provocation. However, he had already dug a trap for Hoppes. It was just a matter of whether Hoppes would jump into it or not. Yes, what Li Huailin had said to Hoppes was a trap. He had long known that Hoppes might have the ability of the divine sword. He had pretended not to know and reminded Hoppes as if he was talking about his battle strategy. However, it was actually a huge trap.
After entering, he would first convince a group of people and then get them to help him make a move on the other commoners, turning them into Undead Soldiers. It sounded like a very reliable battle strategy, but in reality? What he had to remember was that these people were people who had been killed by him previously. It was already a very difficult thing to convince them to join him. Yet, he was still instructing them to make a move on the other commoners. This was practically courting death. Li Huailin really wished that Hoppes would do this. If that were the case, Hoppes might already be in a state of chaos before Li Huailin even made a move.
As for the enhancement of the divine sword's power, that was even more of a trap. Yes, it was possible to use one's own halo to enhance the attributes of one's own soldiers. Although the rules of the mission stated that they couldn't directly participate in the battle, adding buffs and the like was not a problem. However, the problem was … the Undead Halo could not only be used to buff one's own soldiers, but it could also be used to burn the enemies. According to the rules, if a person were to be burned to death, would he dare to activate it on the battlefield?
Therefore, it was very obvious that even if Hoppes really had the ability of the halo, he wouldn't dare to activate it. Li Huailin couldn't wait for Hoppes to be stupid enough to activate the halo, so that he could send someone up to be burned to death. If the other party still had some brains, then this halo wouldn't be of much use. After all, it couldn't be activated. Since the halo couldn't be activated, even if ordinary commoners were to be revived, they would just turn from commoners of other races to commoners of the Undead Race. Would there be any increase in their battle prowess?
In summary, everything that Li Huailin had said earlier was all bullsh * t. His motive was to see the other party's reaction, as well as to see if he could slightly mislead him. It was because Li Huailin knew that time was a very important issue in this trial. Even if the other party would understand later on, as long as he interfered with the other party for a little while, it would still be beneficial for him.
However, Hoppes wasn't such a shallow person. At the very least, Li Huailin wasn't able to glean any information from Hoppes' reply and expression. Of course, this was within his expectations. The other party's talent ranking should be about the same as his, so he should be more confident in his own commander-in-chief, charm, and intellect. If this was all, Li Huailin wouldn't find it fun either.
With a 'ding' sound, just as the conversation between the two of them ended, the white ball suddenly erupted with a stream of white light. At the next second, Li Huailin felt that he had been teleported. With a flash of white light, Li Huailin soon discovered that he had been born in a foreign city.
After taking a closer look, he realized that this city couldn't really be considered a city. Although there were many things inside, they were basically for military purposes. Therefore, seriously speaking, it should be a military fortress. There weren't any civilian buildings, such as residences or the like. The reason why Li Huailin thought that this was a city at first glance was because it was surrounded by very tall and thick city walls. These city walls were already as tall as the city walls of the main cities and looked very majestic.
Of course, Li Huailin knew where he was very quickly. Previously, when the map was introduced, there were two regions on the left and right sides of this island that were similar to headquarters. Right from the start, the other 30 regions belonged to their original camp, while the other 30 regions were currently unoccupied and waiting for them to conquer.
Judging from the situation of this headquarters, this place was really very difficult to conquer. Just by looking at the city walls, one could tell that it was impossible to break in with ordinary means. In fact, Li Huailin had also observed before. The closer the points on the map were to the headquarters on both sides, the better the defense of the core strongholds. Of course, it was also more difficult to conquer. For example, the core strongholds in the regions closest to the headquarters, although they didn't have the abnormal 30-meter high city walls of the headquarters, they still had huge castles and walls that were also difficult to conquer. However, when it came to the center of the map, the defense of those strongholds was relatively weak. The core strongholds were only a few outposts and the like, so it was relatively easy to conquer them.
Therefore, according to the system, the territories in the rear were basically used as a last resort. The real competition should be in the middle of the map. After all, those areas were slightly easier to conquer. Li Huailin also observed that there were a total of eight pieces of land in the middle of the map. In theory, these eight pieces of land would become the focus of the competition.
As for the terrain, to put it simply, the surrounding areas were more dangerous, while the area in the middle was more flat. Yes, for example, the terrain of the headquarters that Li Huailin was currently in was very good. It was surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side. If one wanted to conquer such a city, it was almost impossible to succeed. Attacking such a city was really courting death. Fortunately, the system didn't require one to conquer the enemy's headquarters to be considered a victory. The requirement was to occupy more than half of the territory and maintain it for an hour. Although the headquarters was strong, it was only a piece of territory. In terms of strategic importance, it wasn't even as important as those broken outposts in the middle.
Yes, the map in the middle was obviously the battle location that the system prepared for you. The large plains were very suitable for arranging troops. There were also no natural strongholds in between the areas. There were only a few outposts on the plains. Therefore, if you won in one wave, it was possible to directly occupy a large piece of territory. If you maintained it for an hour, you would directly obtain victory. It seemed that this was the flow of the mission.
Of course, as for how to arrange the specific strategy, Li Huailin hadn't thought about it yet. After all, he still didn't have any subordinates. Li Huailin also stood in the headquarters and looked around. He found that he was the only one in the entire military fortress. Where were the subordinates that were supposed to be resurrected?
Just as Li Huailin was wondering what was going on, a white light suddenly began to flash around him. Then, Li Huailin saw a large number of figures appear along with the flashing white light. Soon, the number of figures around Li Huailin increased, and then more and more, and more and more …
"Hold on! Isn't this a little too much?" Soon, Li Huailin realized that something was wrong. There were too many people around him. The area of this military fortress was very large, almost comparable to the Human Main City. Moreover, there weren't so many buildings inside. In theory, it could accommodate a large number of people, but the problem was that the white light kept spawning people. As the white light kept spawning, the number of people had reached the point where such a large base couldn't accommodate them all.
