Sheyan had just received a lot of information from the Blu-ray Party, so he was thinking and analysing it over and over again.
For example, the information that killing an ordinary enemy infantryman would give him 1 contribution point.
It sounded like a casual statement, but if one thought deeper, one could deduce a lot of things from the exchange ratio.
One had to kill five ordinary enemy infantrymen in order to exchange for an Orc. What was an Orc? It was nothing more than cannon fodder. No matter how many Orc corpses there were, it was impossible to fill up the seven walls of Minas Tirith! They were the cheapest type of soldier.
But this was a city attack and defence battle!
Even for someone as strong as Sheyan, it would not be easy to kill five ordinary human infantrymen protected by the city walls, let alone other contestants! Was it so difficult to exchange for an Orc, a cannon fodder? Was this battle a war between long-range contestants? Of course not!
Therefore, from these details, Sheyan could infer that the people inside Minas Tirith would not only defend to the death! There would probably be a very fierce hand-to-hand battle, which would be the main theme of the war.
The best defence was an offence. The best way to defend Minas Tirith was not to build as many catapults as possible, but to directly rush out and destroy all the enemy's siege weapons! In this way, the two sides would naturally have the opportunity to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
From a small exchange ratio, one could deduce the specific tactics to be adopted by the enemy's commander ….
Therefore, if one observed carefully, it was not too difficult to tell the difference between a single leaf and a fall.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, Sheyan had to carefully study every piece of information and analyze the pros and cons of each piece of information.
And now, all this information that suddenly appeared poured into his mind. It was really like force-feeding a duck, making Sheyan feel like his head was about to burst.
He shook his head with a wry smile, closed his eyes, and poured himself a mouthful of vodka. He forced his mind to blank out and savoured the spicy taste in his mouth. His thoughts slowly calmed down. His mind also began to return to a clear and peaceful state.
All of a sudden, his nose sniffed an indescribable odor. That odor was a mixture of sweat, body odor and a rotting odor. In an instant, it violently assaulted his nostrils.
Even with Sheyan's usual calm demeanor, he couldn't help but release a gurgling sound from his throat. His hands flailed wildly in the air as he scrambled a few metres away. Only then did he realize there was an uruk-hai at his previous position.
This uruk-hai was extremely ferocious and tall, wearing a heavy and intricate armour. Its nostrils flared incessantly, as it stared at Sheyan's wine flask with a greedy gaze, obviously harboring evil intentions.
But when it saw Sheyan's face, it immediately became dejected. Obviously, this guy was planning to snatch it by force. However, after seeing Sheyan's terrifying + 3 legend level, he gave up on this idea.
Sheyan glared hatefully at Ronnie. Why didn't Ronnie warn him? Why did he let the poisonous gas hit him for nothing?
Ronnie could only shrug his shoulders and display a helpless expression. After all, this was the territory of the orcs, and this guy looked like an elite orc. What could he do if he wanted to maintain order?
Sheyan took a few deep breaths, then carried the 'Endless Spirited Vodka' and walked over to chat with this elite uruk-hai. However, he didn't obtain any useful information. The only thing he knew was that this uruk-hai was a creature much stronger than the elite uruk-hai. It was known as the 'Uruk-hai Roarer', and possessed astonishing strength. Of course, in Sheyan's mind, he couldn't estimate how frightening this uruk-hai's strength was without any actual combat data.
A person at the side observed Sheyan's actions, and couldn't help but ridicule him.
"Trying to buy information with a few bottles of wine? Are you kidding me? "
Ronnie instantly jumped up when he heard this, glaring fiercely at him. It was as though a subordinate would die if the master was humiliated.
Sheyan didn't feel any ridicule when he heard this guy's words. Instead, he felt that there was more to it than meets the eye. He directly traded 1 contribution point and asked with interest.
"What, has someone already tried?"
That person was stumped. After all, one wouldn't slap a smiling face. On account of the contribution point, he patiently replied.
"Our boss had already researched the habits and recipes of the orcs and uruk-hais before entering this realm. He had exchanged a total of hundreds of items from the realm. Furthermore, our boss's charm is already over a hundred. Even so, he only obtained 7 useful information. You want to use a mere bottle of 'Endless Spirited Vodka' to obtain information? That's too rash."
Sheyan's heart stirred. He knew that this realm was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Breaking past a hundred in charm was relatively difficult, because there weren't many charm enhancing equipments. Based on this, their boss's charm should be at least 40 points before he became a Growth-hunter!
At this moment, Sanzi also rushed over. Sheyan could see that Sanzi was a little nervous, so he couldn't help but ask him to sit down and have a good talk. Sanzi walked over and sat beside Sheyan, whispering.
"Bro Yan, I might have discovered a huge secret of the realm!"
Without batting an eyelid, Sheyan spoke into the party channel.
"Okay, I got it. Tell me slowly. Don't leave anything out."
Sanzi replied.
"I've just received a related mission. It's a special mission for the Chosen. The mission is very demanding. According to the mission, when the Nazgûl rides a Serpent-Necked Wyvern into battle, Gandalf will summon the Giant Vultures that live on the snowy peaks near Isengard to fight. Three of the Giant Vultures are pregnant and about to lay eggs. My mission is to obtain the eggs in the Giant Vultures' bellies and tame them as mounts. "
"Only in a Bloody Battlefield created by the joint efforts of multiple Realms, when this kind of Giant Vulture grows to a high level, it may have an innate ability. It can form a self-sufficient shield on the surface of its body and fly for 30 seconds in any environment. In that case, when our Noah Realm C gets injured while traversing through the space-time turbulence, I can use the Giant Vultures to transport some supplies to repair the realm. "
Sheyan listened attentively, and then suddenly said, "That's right.
He suddenly said, "This mission is very important! If possible, we must do our best to help you complete this goal. The more you help the realm, the more reluctant it will be to let you die, and the more it will help you within its authority! There's a lot to be done here! Even if it's within the realm's authority, it's still good news for us. “
Sanzi nodded, then said seriously, "Yes.
He then said seriously, "The mystery I found is at the beginning of the mission. The mission begins with a top-secret document: 'The Age of the Fiery Age (Noah 139 calendar ~ Noah 142 calendar)' Chosen One 6513A."
As Sheyan listened to Sanzi's series of information, an outline of the mission gradually formed in his mind. His original doubts were also explained.
Sheyan had been wondering if Noah Realm C only had the contestants who were currently participating in the battle against the One Ring. Why didn't the stronger contestants come to help?
It was difficult to explain it with just a rank barrier. It was difficult to explain it with just the saying, "why would outstanding people be restrained?"
"The name 'The Age of the Blaze' is worth investigating," said Sheyan after thinking for a while.
Sheyan thought for a moment and said, "The meaning of the word 'Fiery' is usually difficult to combine with the word 'Age'. However, when China built large granaries in ancient times, they used the words' Heaven ',' Earth ',' Black ',' Yellow ',' Universe ',' Desolate 'to organize the granaries. For example,' Sky 'represented Granary No. 1, and' Desolate 'represented Granary No. 8."
At this time, Zi also came over and asked in surprise.
"So you mean 'Fiery' is actually a number, and the description at the back refers to the specific duration of the 'Age of the Fiery Age'?"
Aldaris suddenly said,
"In my real world, there's a very famous basketball player called Kobe Bryant. He joined the NBA through a draft in 1996 AD. Among the basketball players in the same year, there were many famous superstars. Later, people called the basketball players of that year the 'Golden Generation' (1996). This should be similar to the 'Age of the Fiery Age'. "
Sanzi smiled bitterly.
"When I heard this, what I thought of was when we were still in school. For example, when I graduated from junior high school, I was in the class of 2000. There's a description (1997 ~ 2000) at the back. "
"That's right," said Sheyan seriously.
"At this point, we can almost judge the principle of how the Realm distributes the contestants. Most of the contestants we'll be fighting against will be contestants from the 'Age of the Fiery Age'! Next, we'll consider the barrier of strength. It's like forming a national football team. First, we'll consider the age group of 20 to 35 years old. Then, we'll consider whether to choose from the Chinese Super League or the Chinese Super League. This way, we can ensure that the contestants from the same age group won't be too far behind. "
"Then, at least at our current stage, the contestants from different eras shouldn't be mixed up. The Cardinal who forced us into a corner should be one of the first batch of contestants to enter the 'Age of the Fiery Age', while we should have entered at the end of the 'Age of the Fiery Age'."
Zi suddenly asked,
"So, what will happen when we reach the peak of the 'Age of the Fiery Age'?"
Said Sheyan with a smile.
"We'll graduate and enter a higher school, of course. After we finish junior high school, we'll have to go to high school and enter the 'Age of the Fiery Age'. But I think we'll definitely get extra preferential treatment, just like how a newly promoted team from the Chinese Super League will be taken care of."
Next, the contestants discussed the mission related to Sanzi. At this time, they were all strong and well-trained. They felt that the mission might be difficult, but it was absolutely impossible to say that they had no chance at all.
While they were discussing, the contestants also received a related mission.
[Contestant No. 1018, you and your party have received an upgradable mission: 'Destroy the Kingdom'.]
[Mission Description: Destroy the symbol of Minas Tirith, the White Tower!]
[Mission Hint: The city of Minas Tirith was built in a unique way. The city is divided into seven floors, each with independent walls and entrances, but these entrances are not in a straight line. Part of this unique landscape is the natural topography of the mountains, while the other part is the work of ancient craftsmen.
The contestants must break through the seven terrifying walls and gates to reach the Council Hall and the Garden of the Holy Springs in front of the White Tower. The simple White Tower soared 150 feet into the sky. The Regent's banner hung at the top of the tower, overlooking the great plain a thousand feet below. Destroying the White Tower is the symbol of the fall of Minas Tirith!
[Description: This is an upgradable mission. After you complete the upgrade mission, you will not be able to return to the nightmare realm even if you enter the Source of Darkness hall. However, this mission will be upgraded to a Golden Main Mission without any increase in difficulty!]
[Warning: You must make your choice within 24 hours of entering this world. Otherwise, the option of the upgrade mission will disappear.]
[Warning: If the Source of Darkness hall is captured, all the contestants on your side who are still in this world will die.]
***
[Hint: You can obtain the following milestones in this world (including this world and other extended worlds).]
[Nemesis of Legends: You participated in the battle to kill any two of Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, or Legolas.]
[Title Reward: Legend Level + 1]
[Enemy of the Gates LVL 1: You have destroyed at least one of the gates of Minas Tirith. This milestone can be upgraded. Every additional gate destroyed will increase the title reward. Theoretically, you can destroy a maximum of seven gates.]
[Title Reward: Damage to buildings increased by 100% – 700% (upgraded to the highest level).]
[Hedgehog: You have been shot by storyline characters 5,000 times (arrows must hit and take HP). Current rating: 05000.]
[Title Reward: You will be immune to 90% of the damage from storyline characters' long-range attacks.]
[Chef LVL 1: Due to the construction of siege weapons, the Orcs are having a major problem with their diet. They cannot find enough dry wood to cook food, so please help at least five Orcs on the stoves cook food. You have already helped (0/5).] This milestone refreshes every 12 hours and can be completed up to 3 times.
[Title Reward: Fire damage increased by 5%.] [Chef LVL 3: Magic damage increased by 15%.]
[Labourer Lvl 1: It's impossible to capture Minas Tirith with stones and blood alone, so transportation has become a big problem. Assist the Orcs in transporting ten portions of wood and stones from the camp at the Anduin River. This milestone will refresh every 12 hours, and can be completed up to 3 times.] [Note: Labourer Lvl 1: Labourer
[Title Reward: Movement speed increased by 1%.] [Labourer LVL 3: Movement speed increased by 4%.]
[Filthy Rich: You have exchanged more than 10,000 contribution points in total.]
[Title Reward: You have the privilege to exchange for any creature item or equipment worth less than 1,000 contribution points for free in this world. You will always receive a 15% discount when trading.]
***
Looking at this series of milestones, the first one Sheyan set his eyes on was "Hedgehog"! The attribute of being immune to 90% of the damage from storyline characters' long-range attacks was indeed a great temptation for an MT! In particular, with the support of Sheyan's innate ability, it was very likely that those arrows would only inflict 1 point of damage on him and would not be able to break through his defence.
For all mage-type contestants, the title of 'Chef' was a must-have, and the title of 'Labourer' was a good thing for both young and old. No one would complain about being able to run faster when fleeing or pursuing an enemy.
The Source of Darkness hall finally became a lot emptier. Sheyan had already obtained the method to check his contribution points, so he had deliberately waited until now. He walked straight to the Eye of Sauron in the middle of the hall. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he asked the party members to surround him and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
A sharp and evil voice suddenly rang out in Sheyan's mind.
"My powerful warrior, my dark equipment, the powerful secret potions I've accumulated for thousands of years, I can't just give them to a piece of trash, so you must pass my test … Ah!!! What a powerful soul! I like powerful warriors like you, eh? And with such an extraordinary legendary experience … Well, very good, you've gained my approval. I can now give you the full quota of contribution points. "
Sheyan immediately understood Sauron's intention. He reckoned that he would get a lot of contribution points, but the contribution points he had right now were not earned through the war. These contribution points could be used to exchange for Sauron's warriors and treasures, so Sauron wanted to personally test him, lest his efforts were wasted.
It was like a young man in his twenties suddenly being promoted to a high position at the level of a bureau chief (there were many protagonists in novels about officialdom). Naturally, the immediate leader would feel uneasy, so he would have to go through an interview before he dared to delegate his power.
[Contestant No. 1018, due to the current faction, I must regretfully inform you that your servant, Melody Sunstrider, and her associated forces cannot be summoned into this world by you. Therefore, based on your various special experiences in the previous Lord of the Rings world, you will be rewarded with an initial 871 contribution points.]
[You have passed the baptism of the Eye of Sauron. 871 contribution points will be awarded in full!]
"871 contribution points!!" Sheyan's heart skipped a beat. A Troll that required the members of the Fellowship of the Ring to deal with only cost 380 contribution points. In other words, this was almost equivalent to him owning two Trolls right off the bat!
Although the two Trolls did not seem to be of much help in the siege battle, Sheyan deduced that they would definitely be useful in hand-to-hand combat. Such preferential treatment was almost the same as having a powerful AMP Land Mech in Pandora at the beginning of the war.
But at that moment, a violent explosion suddenly rang out from outside!!!
By the time Party Ace rushed out, they saw seven or eight craters two or three meters in diameter around the camp. The craters were very shallow, but they were the kind of incendiary bombs that sputtered when they hit the ground. The area within a radius of several hundred meters had turned into a sea of fire. Many Orc huts were set ablaze, giving off thick black smoke. There was no lack of Orcs on fire too.
But even under such circumstances, the several Orc sub-camps that were attacked were still in good order. The Orcs on fire fled in panic and screamed, but they were soon knocked down by the other Orcs and splashed with water. As for the flames that started burning, they were caused by a few Orc wizards who caught a few toads and used them as spellcasting mediums. Soon, a large amount of sticky, stinky white foam appeared and extinguished the flames ….
More importantly, after realising that the enemy had such a long-range ability, Gothmog gave an order. The camp, which was not too crowded to begin with, expanded again and became even more sparse!
The contestants who took part in the battle were all experts in disguise. Someone soon concluded that the incendiary rocket attack this time was launched by a self-propelled rocket launcher. The cost of firing the launcher was estimated to be at least 2,000 utility points, but it only managed to kill six or seven Orcs at the point of impact. If it was used during a siege, the yield would be at least ten times higher. No matter how you looked at it, it was still a huge loss!
This kind of probing attack quickly stopped, but it definitely didn't mean that peace had temporarily arrived.
***
Red clouds piled up in the sky. It was only about four o 'clock in the afternoon when the sky quickly darkened.
The wind was blowing wildly on the plain, but Sheyan wiped his sweat away in the wind. He kicked a mountain of items on the wheeled cart next to him and shouted to the Uruk-hai officer in charge of the inspection, Hisgor Dog Ears.
"Hey, idiot! You idiot, you'd better count clearly. There are three portions of stone and two portions of wood! Twenty-five contribution points. I'll skin you alive if you're even one less! "
The Uruk-hai, who was usually arrogant, was uncharacteristically timid when he heard Sheyan's rude threat.
"Yes, sir."
The most important thing on the eve of a battle was logistics. Whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, there was no such thing as too much wood and stone. Therefore, a portion of stone and firewood could be exchanged for five contribution points.
However, the Gondorian defenders were no fools. All the wood and stone in the vicinity of Minas Tirith, and even the entire plain, had long been cleared away. They had to travel at least seven or eight kilometres to reach the place where the stones and wood were produced.
Perhaps the Gondorians, who felt that they were short of manpower, could only sit back and watch the Orcs replenish their strategic resources, but the enemy contestants, who had the advantage in numbers, definitely did not think so. Therefore, before the main storyline forces on both sides took the initiative to attack, a fierce small-scale battle had already broken out in the distant Lossarnach Valley!
"We should be able to make a few more trips here. The party's contribution points will soon exceed 1,200 points," said Sheyan.
Reef excitedly.
With a nod of his head, 25 contribution points once again flowed into the party's account. Compared to the 800 contribution points Sheyan received in one go, the contribution points the rest of the party received were much less. They only received about 1,100 contribution points in total.
But although they could not go on the battlefield to kill, it was still a good idea for the whole party to work together.
However, Aldaris couldn't help but say,
"There are a total of ten or so teams that went to harvest wood and stones, and eight of them have already been ambushed. Even the Beast team that set off after us was attacked once. I just can't stand how excited those guys are … Why are we the only ones who can't get anything?"
Sheyan smiled warmly and said, "That's right.
"The Beast Party may have just won a complete victory, but they also lost two members. Of course, that's not a big deal for a 20-man party. Maybe the ones who died were just peripheral characters, but this is only the beginning of the battle …. More importantly, one of the eight parties that were attacked was wiped out! The other party has several times more contestants than us, so we have to set our sights on the long term. Don't worry about not having enough people to kill, I'm just worried that the enemy won't be able to kill all of us in the end. That's the most troublesome thing. "
Aldaris seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Zi looking at him coldly, he immediately shut his mouth.
Speaking of which, there weren't many party leaders who could make good use of someone as arrogant and capable as Aldaris, but in Party Ace, there were two people who could keep him in check. And yet, he was willing to stay and not leave ….
Sheyan gestured for the four Orc labourers to drag the giant wooden wheelbarrow that had once again become empty, then continued towards Lossarnach Valley.
On the way through the camp, Sheyan saw the Orcs in the shacks lighting fires to cook. The so-called cooking was to throw everything that the Orcs thought was edible, such as bran, bread, fur, meat, wild vegetables, leaves, rotten internal organs, filthy blood and so on, into a big pot, then make a pot of delicacies that looked, smelled and tasted good. Each Orc then held his own bowl and gulped it down.
Seeing this scene, Sheyan suddenly asked, "What's the matter?
"Zi, Aldaris, have you guys completed the chef milestone?"
Zi and Aldaris nodded in agreement. Previously, the party had specially given them two hours to split up and complete these milestones, which were obviously given to them for free. The group chatted as they continued walking towards the valley. They all looked very relaxed.
However, just five minutes later, Fang Qiu was stunned.
On the way, they could see the black smoke coming out of the Orc camp when they turned around!
Only four or five kilometers away from the Orc camp,
The entire Party Ace was suddenly ambushed!!
An extremely fierce ambush!!
The last time Party Ace was ambushed was in the 2012 apocalypse world. That battle was extremely tragic, and Mogensha died! Reef, Zi and Sanzi were almost all beaten to the point of near death. If it weren't for luck, it was normal for the party to be wiped out!
This time, they were once again faced with a premeditated ambush. What kind of response would they make?? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
