In a battle, other than the cooperation between the players, the Commander's ability to predict the development of the battle was even more important. This was especially true in a battle like this, where many players were not familiar with each other and had zero cooperation. In such a situation, the Commander's ability to command was the most important factor.
It didn't matter if it was the estimation of the battle situation, the most effective combination of the Players on one's side, or the degree of prediction of the local commander's movements, any one of these factors would determine the final outcome of this impromptu battle.
Of course, there was also the possibility of a special, heaven-defying situation occurring during the battle that could turn the tide of the battle. However, this kind of situation was really too rare. Basically, it rarely happened, so it was not considered as a factor in the success or failure of the battle.
The fact that the Northern Continent's players were able to organize the battle so quickly meant that there was an excellent Commander in the Northern Continent. This Commander must be more experienced and calm than Purity Essence. In other words, it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a veteran Commander.
It seemed that Purity Essence's Commander had potential, but he was still lacking in terms of experience. He would need to be nurtured properly in order for him to become a great Commander.
Ye Ci had not only confirmed that there was an extremely domineering Commander in the Northern Continent, but also discovered something that surprised her. In this battle, there were two Clerics in the Northern Continent who knew the Resurrection skill! It was because of these two Clerics' powerful Resurrection skill that the Northern Continent's players were able to organize the battle in the shortest amount of time.
The Resurrection skill book was not easy to obtain. Although Ye Ci did not know how many Resurrection skill books had been dropped since the start of the game, she knew that there were no more than three Resurrection skill books in the Eastern Continent. Jelly had one, Sir Ditty's personal Cleric had one, and Four Seas in Blank Space had one. However, she did not expect the Northern Continent's players to have two Resurrection skill books in the Swamp of Sorrows. Could it be that the Northern Continent's Resurrection skill books were already quite common?
At the thought of this, Ye Ci felt a headache coming on.
Facing an enemy continent with many priests who could resurrect, that would be a headache. If a war broke out, they would represent a perpetual source of power that could always be resurrected. This would be a fatal blow to the other continents, which had relatively few resurrection skills.
However, this wasn't something Ye Ci needed to worry about for the time being. After all, they had just fought against the Western Continent, and the Northern Continent wouldn't be able to send troops to the Eastern Continent or the Southern Continent so soon. Hence, she decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
Of course, there was no way Ye Ci would let the two Clerics who were capable of resurrection live. She immediately sent them back to life with two arrows. This way, the Northern Continent players would not be able to keep up, and it would give the Eastern Continent players a chance to catch their breath.
The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.
Ye Ci realized that the originally brightly lit Swamp of Sorrows had become even darker. Not only that, in the distant horizon, there were still muffled rumbles of thunder, and faint flashes of lightning appeared above the clouds.
Changes in the weather were extremely common in Fate. Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were very common in the real world. Even geological disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods could be encountered at times. Therefore, the change in weather in the Swamp of Sorrows did not attract the attention of the players. They only thought that another storm was coming, so no one took it seriously.
Except for Ye Ci.
If Ye Ci was also a player who had just started playing Fate, she would not have paid much attention to this matter. But she was not. When the sky began to darken, Ye Ci thought that it was going to rain. But when the rumbling of thunder could be heard, she knew that she was wrong. This was not a sign of rain.
This was a sign that the Dragon race was about to appear.
The Dragon race was an extremely ancient race in Fate. They were proud, intelligent, and extremely cruel. Although they had pledged allegiance to the Naga Demon King, they were still restless. As the Dragon race was too powerful, even the Naga Demon King was unable to completely subdue them. Hence, the Dragon race had always been a very unique existence in the history of Fate.
They were the most advanced animals, above all other animals. They had their own civilization, and were divided into two factions due to their allegiance to the Naga Demon King. However, the Dragon race had always been an extremely secretive existence. In Fate's lvl 120 dungeons, the Dragon race would appear as the final BOSS, but that was something that would happen in the distant future.
In Ye Ci's previous life, the lowest level Dragon that appeared in Fate was around lvl 100, and the highest level Dragon was a question mark. Hence, the Dragon race was the symbol of power, and the symbol of unconquerable.
The Dragon race had a problem. They believed that they were the most advanced species in the world. Hence, when they appeared, they would not allow any other species to appear with them. When the Dragon race appeared, they would often spit out Dragon's Breath, causing the death of all living creatures within their sight.
In Shi Feng's previous life, when players encountered such a situation, they would either go into hiding, go offline, or find a place where they could not be seen. In any case, they could not expose themselves to the Dragon race. Otherwise, they would die in vain.
The Desolate Mountains behind the Swamp of Sorrows used to be a Dragon's lair, so it was not strange for the Dragon race to fly past the Swamp of Sorrows from time to time. However, that seemed to only happen after the release of the expansion pack. Ye Ci had never heard of the Dragon race appearing in maps when the average player was around lvl 30. It seemed that after her reincarnation, she would still encounter more or less unexplainable situations.
After all, Fate was too big. Even if she was the Master of Fate in her previous life, it was impossible for her to remember everything clearly like a computer.
"Inform everyone to hide, or return to Dark Clay City." Ye Ci wanted to hide from the battle, but she decided to send a message to Purity Essence when she saw how many players were still fighting for their lives. She knew that she had something to do with what happened today, so she decided to take the initiative to send a message to Purity Essence.
"Hm? Are you saying that we should retreat? " The situation was in the Eastern Continent's favor, so Purity Essence was very confused by Ye Ci's words, "At this rate, we'll be able to achieve total victory in half an hour."
Ye Ci was too lazy to explain, and it was not easy to do so anyway. She calmly said, "Something's wrong with the weather. It's not a rainy day. I'm afraid that something bad is about to happen."
After hearing Ye Ci's words, Purity Essence looked up at the sky. He listened to the rumbling of thunder and asked Cactus, "Do you think it's going to rain?"
Cactus also looked at the weather and nodded, "Of course!"
However, Purity Essence was still doubtful. He lowered his head and muttered to himself. Then, he noticed that the mounts of the players and the Hunters who had summoned their pets were all listless. Some of them were curled up on the ground, and some of them were retreating anxiously. What's going on?
Is there really something wrong with the situation?
The rumbling of thunder grew louder and louder. Red lightning flashed in the sky, as if it was going to burn the clouds into a red hue. When he listened carefully, he realized that the rumbling did not sound like thunder, but the roar of an animal. Purity Essence frowned. The roar sounded very similar to the roar of a creature he had heard before. Suddenly, he remembered that the roar was very similar to the roar of Gongzi You's pet!
Maybe it's not going to rain! But he could not tell what exactly it was.
Purity Essence gritted his teeth and shouted into the command channel, "Everyone, give up on attacking! Find a place to hide, or return to Dark Clay City! Those who are already dead, don't run back to your corpses to revive. It's best if you stay in your soul form for a little longer!"
His order caused an uproar in the entire command channel. As the players could no longer speak in the command channel, the map channel was flooded with messages asking for the reason behind Purity Essence's order. Some of the more extreme players even suspected that Purity Essence was not from the Eastern Continent, and that he was a spy from the Northern Continent.
"I know that you don't understand, but look at the weather. It doesn't look like it's going to rain. There are many unexpected events in Fate that we can't deal with. We have to be on our guard. If something bad happens, wouldn't it be bad if we die and lose levels? We still have a chance to fight against the Northern Continent players in the future. There's no need for us to die because of unexpected events, right? "
Although Purity Essence's words had caused some players to realize that something was wrong with the weather, there were still more players who continued to curse Purity Essence in the map channel. Purity Essence was saddened by the situation.
Fortunately, he received a private message from Gongzi You, "We've only met by chance. There's no need to be sad over people who don't listen to your advice. They're just trying to make fun of you. You've done your duty. Log off or hide."
Purity Essence felt a warmth in his heart when he heard Ye Ci's advice, but he still shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm the commander. I won't leave as long as there's one more person on the battlefield. You should leave now. You're at a high level. It'll be a loss if you die. "
Ye Ci did not say anything, but she had a whole new level of respect for Purity Essence.
It was a pity that this person did not become a commander in her past life. (To be continued.) If you like this series, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
