The system notification made Yang Rui stop fighting in the various cities of the Mexican NPCs.
As far as Yang Rui was concerned, there was not much time left for him to complete the Interstellar Youth Tournament and the quest to locate the Sacred Artifact. He was already faced with a choice. However, the appearance of the system notification had given him an opportunity.
Players had the right to choose the time of the NPC's final counterattack, which meant that the moment the system notification appeared, players could activate the final defense quest at any time.
Yang Rui browsed for a while and found the option to activate the final counterattack of the NPC in the Outlander Tournament's quest tab. However, perhaps because Yang Rui was not in a certain city, the color of the option was gray.
When Yang Rui arrived at Agua La Paz, the option button was activated as Yang Rui had expected.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, do you wish to activate the final counterattack of the Outlander Tournament?
If the player withstands the final counterattack of the NPC in the city, the player will obtain the final ownership of the relevant city and will be exempted from battle for three months. During this time, the city can be teleported in any direction.
If the player is unable to withstand the final counterattack of the NPC in the city, the player will lose the relevant city and have 50% of the quest points deducted. At the same time, the player's journey in the Outlander Tournament will end and they will be teleported back to the normal game interface.
Criteria: If the player is able to defend one or more cities, the quest will be considered a success. Otherwise, the quest will be considered a failure. "
After Yang Rui clicked on the option button, another system notification appeared. It explained the final counterattack in detail, especially the criteria for success and failure, as well as the rewards and punishments. Of course, Yang Rui also understood at a glance.
"Activate!"
Without much thought, Yang Rui chose to activate the final counterattack of the NPC.
For Yang Rui, if he failed this quest, not only would he lose not only a few cities, but he would also lose several cities. At the same time, Yang Rui's Outlander Tournament quest points would be deducted by 50%. That would be a huge loss.
With Yang Rui's 560 million quest points, losing half of his quest points would be close to 300 million points. Even if Yang Rui could still remain at the top of the leaderboard, he would lose a lot of opportunities to exchange. The loss would be shocking.
However, Yang Rui chose to activate the quest without hesitation. First of all, he had enough confidence in the strength of his troops. Second, after a few months of fighting, Yang Rui also had a good understanding of the Mexican NPCs' fighting style.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy!
However, when the final counterattack quest actually began. It was only then that Yang Rui truly understood the enormous difficulty involved.
The moment the final counterattack quest was activated, Yang Rui sent out more than 5,000 soldiers with flying pets. They focused on scouting in the semi-arc area far away from the Boundary Mountain Range. The side of the Boundary Mountain Range where the four cities, including Aguarabas City, were not that dangerous.
Half a day later, the results of the scouting were sent back. The actual situation was far beyond Yang Rui's expectations.
Originally, Yang Rui had already reduced the NPC forces in the area around Aguarabas City and the other four cities. However, according to the results of the scouting from the flying pets, the four-hour flight distance within the radiation area was fine, and there were not many abnormal situations. However, in areas further away, a large number of Mexican NPCs had appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
There were no teleportation portals in the Outlander Space cities. Therefore, these Mexican NPCs had appeared so quickly near Aguarabas City and the other four cities. It was obvious that they had been refreshed during the quest.
These Mexican NPC soldiers could be said to have covered the mountains and plains. Although it was difficult to estimate the exact number of soldiers, it was not easy to estimate. It was definitely many times more than the soldiers led by Yang Rui!
In this mission to search for the Saint weapon, the number of soldiers that Yang Rui had brought with him was in the hundreds of thousands. Although the majority of them were ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, but there were also hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the [Capture Barracks], the Yellow Turban soldiers, the archers and the scaled soldiers.
The Mexican Civilization had even more NPC soldiers participating in the final counterattack! At least ten times more than Yang Rui's troops!
At this time, Yang Rui's troops were still scattered in the four cities, including Aguarabas. Their strength was even more dispersed. Yang Rui's original plan to defend the four cities at the same time was obviously not feasible.
As soon as Yang Rui received the feedback, he maneuvered the Sky Castle to leave the city of Aguarabas. While personally investigating the situation of the enemy, he also pulled the guards in the other three cities back into the Sky Castle. So that he could place them in Aguarabas City to deal with the final counterattack of the Mexican NPCs.
Another four to six hours passed. Yang Rui had already encountered the front of the Mexican Civilization's NPC army that was charging at him.
The real situation was just as the Flying Department had discovered. A dozen enemy forces were swarming in from all directions in the Mexican NPCs' gathering area. They were pointing at Aguarabas City, where Yang Rui had activated the 'final counterattack' quest.
Moreover, Yang Rui noticed that almost all of these Mexican soldiers participating in the counterattack were elites. They were much stronger than the opponents Yang Rui had faced in the past. Most of them were Sixth Grade soldiers. In fact, it was very rare to see a Fifth Grade soldier.
That was not all. Moreover, every Mexican NPCs participating in the counterattack seemed to have a powerful commander. According to Yang Rui's rough observation and experience, the strength of these commanders was at least on par with famous historical figures!
What was coming next was a fierce battle!
Yang Rui quickly came to a conclusion. He suddenly felt like he had poked a hornet's nest.
The system obviously did not want the players participating in the Foreignland Tournament to gain too much. The current situation was on Yang Rui's shoulders. Yang Rui felt very troubled. He did not know how the other player organizations occupying the cities would deal with the final counterattack. He believed that almost none of them would be able to survive!
Yang Rui had miscalculated on this point. The strength of the NPCs in the 'final counterattack' quest was actually set according to the performance of the players in the Foreignland Tournament. The main reference criteria included the number of cities occupied by the players, and so on. (To be continued)
