Chapter 87
Xi Zheng didn't know how he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes the next morning, he saw Ling En lying beside him, looking at him intently.
After a moment of silence, Ling En spoke first: "Did you sleep well?"
Hearing this greeting, Xi Zheng didn't know why he suddenly felt in a good mood.
He squinted his eyes and yawned sleepily, then slowly got up and said, "Very, very good."
Time seems to go back many years ago, when he and Ling En depended on each other for life.
Just as he was thinking this, Ling En also got up, and leaned forward, kissing Xi Zheng's lips without any defense.
Xi Zheng: "..."
Many years ago, they didn't have such a ritual when they got up every day.
Xi Zheng was thinking in a daze, but Ling En said confidently: "I heard that in this world, other couples do this kind of thing every morning. The last time I came here, I watched it on that thing called TV." Arrived."
Xi Zheng was angry and funny: "Don't try to lie to me, there is no such thing! Besides, who is married to you!"
Ling En actually responded to him with a seemingly innocent expression.
Xi Zheng felt as if his fist had been punched into the cotton.
It is obviously useless to entangle this kind of thing any more. Although many things have happened from last night to now, Xi Zheng has not forgotten that what they are about to face next is the most critical battle.
Xi Zheng got up quickly and tidied himself up, and then looked at Ling En over there, but he was already ready and waiting for Xi Zheng.
Seeing Xi Zheng approaching, Ling En even took the initiative to hand over a coat to Xi Zheng.
It was the same again.
Some habits seem to have been integrated into the bone marrow no matter how long they have been apart, as long as they meet again, they will return to the original way of getting along.
Xi Zheng had to admit that he himself was quite used to Ling En's company, and when he first left Ideen Continent and returned to the real world, during the difficult reconstruction period, he would often habitually shout Name Ling En.
It wasn't until he realized that there was no one around him that he realized that the person was no longer by his side.
Xi Zheng took the clothes that Ling En handed over, and laughed: "Although I'm going to enter the game cabin soon, I don't need these clothes."
As he said this, his eyes met with Ling En's, and the two finally returned to the game world in their own ways.
When he went online again, Xi Zheng was still in his president's office, and Ling En appeared beside him.
The two looked at each other tacitly, then pushed the door together and walked out.
In the guild hall, quite a lot of people had gathered now, Xi Zheng told Fen Bai who was on standby about his plan, and Fen Bai immediately went to contact the rest of the people.
Of course, the time for the expedition is actually set in advance, so the so-called contact is only a symbolic guild announcement, and everyone has already been waiting in the square outside.
After Xi Zheng walked out of the guild gate, what he saw was a mighty sea of people.
The people gathered this time include the army of the Kingdom Paladins, members of the Twilight Guild, and other players in the game. The number is so large that they have almost gathered more than half of the daily active players in the game.
This is of course due to the efforts of Zhou Heng and others. Because of Xi Zheng's request, Zhou Heng and the others posted the game announcement almost overnight, and regarded this expedition as the largest event in the current version of the game, attracting everyone who can attracted players.
Of course, the four heavenly kings of the Demon King City have also arrived, but according to what they said, most of the demon soldiers did not gather here, because the residents of the kingdom have a deep fear of the demons, in order not to scare the citizens, so The magic soldiers are all on standby outside the royal city.
All the fighting forces are concentrated here, this is a battle that can only be won but not defeated.
Facing so many fighting forces assembled in the square, the backbones of the Twilight Guild followed Xi Zheng, and all looked at their president when they saw this.
Both Fenbai and Xiongji brothers were full of anticipation, but Meteor Tiger, who followed Xi Zheng at first, was the most relaxed. He poked Xi Zheng's arm and said with a smile, "President, don't you want to say something?"
Meteor Tiger usually refers to Xi Zheng as his master, but now he probably changed his name to the president in order to cope with this kind of formal occasion.
Xi Zheng originally had the same meaning, he nodded and took two steps forward.
He first spoke to the soldiers of the kingdom.
When he was the deputy head of the Holy Knights, Xi Zheng was already familiar with this process. Before the soldiers of the kingdom went out, most of them would have such a ceremony. One was to improve morale, and the other was to be more clear. Target.
Xi Zheng often said such beautiful words before, but this was the first time, he felt that what he said was not just simple beautiful words.
He sincerely hopes that everyone can return safely after this battle.
After such a long time, he can finally admit with confidence the truest thoughts in his heart, without deceiving others or himself.
This expedition ceremony was not long, but it instantly mobilized everyone's emotions.
After that, Sean and Hurley led the knights out of the city to the pre-arranged location.
After the knights left, Xi Zheng looked at the players in front of him again.
He still has a lot to say to this group of players.
"Maybe you find it very interesting, maybe you are very excited, of course, maybe you just want to find something to kill time in your spare time." Xi Zheng said this, he glanced at Ling En behind him, and then swept his eyes again All the players in front of them solemnly lowered their heads and bowed: "But no matter what the reason is, I still want to thank you, maybe this is just an interesting adventure for you, but for the people of this world, it is an adventure." It's a life-and-death battle, and your help is protecting their lives."
Some people may think that it is insignificant, after all, it is just a paper man in the virtual world, but Xi Zheng is very clear that each of these lives is a real life.
After bowing, Xi Zheng raised his head and took a deep breath.
Then he raised a smile on his face: "So I don't have anything else to say, it's enough for everyone to have fun, enjoy this banquet, and look forward to the rich event rewards after this."
"Oh oh oh!"
"Great!"
I don't know who cheered, and then everyone's emotions were ignited. After a moment of solemnity, the scene returned to its noisy state.
As usual, the players started busy preparing for the team fight. They divided themselves into small groups, and each group leader divided them into combat occupations and logistics occupations, and medical auxiliary tanks output their respective formations.
"Everyone hasten to board the battle channel that comes with the game! Follow the instructions! Advance to the big channel, and then enter the frequency division of their respective teams! Those who rub equipment and spells, and those who hang up life skills, stop first, Everyone find a good team! Be careful not to get separated from your own team!"
"What are you doing, that guy? What are you doing in the medical team with a big shield? Don't keep thinking about going to places where there are many girls!"
"We're about to go on an expedition, why are you still in this PK, listen to the command!"
The scene was noisy, but at the same time it looked quite chaotic.
But thanks to Meteor Tiger and Brother Rooster's mobility, they did have quite a lot of experience in this kind of game, and it didn't take long to integrate everyone, and the team suddenly became disciplined.
Finally, it was time for the expedition, and the players' teams also headed towards the Netherworld.
However, unlike the Holy Knights, the players' system has a built-in teleportation function, and they flew to the resurrection point outside the Netherworld in an instant.
This is also the original plan of Xi Zheng and others, to let players who are not affected by the Nightmare Lord first go to the depths of the Netherworld.
According to Xi Zheng's observation, no matter how powerful the Lord of Nightmares is, it is impossible to control the will of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at the same time. He must have some kind of device in the depths of the nether world that can help him invade people's minds. Thoughts, change their will.
The task of this group of players is to break into the deepest part of the Netherworld and destroy the control device of the Nightmare Lord.
At that time, the army of the Demon King City and the Holy Knights will be able to attack the Netherworld without any worries.
This is what Xi Zheng can think of, the fighting method with the least sacrifice, of course it just needs to work hard for all players.
Because at the beginning of the battle, they don't have any reinforcements, they can only advance with the player's own strength, and they will probably die many times, losing quite a lot of levels and attributes.
After all, the player has no way to harm the NPC in the game. Even if it is an enemy army, as long as it is an NPC, it cannot be killed. At most, it can only make the opponent lose its combat effectiveness.
This is also the key to Xi Zheng's use of the player's army, so that even the army controlled by the Nightmare Lord will not suffer any casualties. When the device is destroyed, these people can also be freed from being controlled.
Of course, as compensation, he will reward the players well, whether it is in the Ideon Continent or in the real world.
The moment Xi Zheng and Ling En led the player army into the Netherworld, the battle officially began.
Sure enough, a large number of troops had already been assembled in the Nether Realm, and the players had just entered it when they bumped into the enemy team head-on.
However, after preparing in advance, their confrontation was not considered hasty, and it could be said that the players easily took advantage.
The deployment is in charge of Ling En. For Ling En, who is the son of glory and received elite education in the kingdom since he was a child, the things on the battlefield are not difficult, whether it is the layout or the battle.
But this is just the beginning. Considering the troops blocked at the beginning, the real fierce battle may still be behind.
Xi Zheng and the others did not relax. They quickly eliminated the initial wave of troops. The enemy had no fighting power, and they finally formally stepped into the Netherworld.
They have been to Nether Realm before, but the last time they came here, there were only Xi Zhenglingen and a few people from the Twilight Guild.
If the Nether World was just a small dungeon last time, this time it has completely become a nightmare level map.
Not only are the troops on the road countless times more than before, but their strength is also far stronger than last time.
For the human enemies encountered on the road, the players will work together to make them lose their fighting power, and then move on. However, the monster-type enemies are relatively more difficult to deal with. Usually, they need a large group of people to crusade together to barely defeat them. It's ground down.
Of course, there were also times when Ling En and the Four Heavenly Kings of Demon King City made moves, but in order to preserve their strength, they didn't lose too much magic power on the way.
The deeper they went into the Netherworld, the more powerful the monsters they encountered became. After walking for half a day, they finally arrived at the place where Xi Zheng and others rescued Ayla last time.
In the center of the trunk of the giant tree in front, there is a huge stone gate, but from their perspective, they can only see a patch of stars, but they can't see what it looks like.
Everyone stopped in front of the door and did not enter rashly.
But what is certain is that after entering from here, they should go to the second stage of the battlefield, and the enemy's strength will probably rise to a higher level.
Xi Zheng called Aila over at this time. After all, this person had been imprisoned here for a long time, so he probably knew about it.
But unfortunately, Aila's memory of himself here is quite vague, and he can't tell the specific situation. All he can think of is reminding Xi Zheng and others to be careful of the singing behind the door.
Xi Zheng frowned when he heard the words. Although he didn't understand the specific meaning, he also knew that it was probably a mental attack.
However, Xi Zheng couldn't help but also think that, from this point of view, this situation really looks like the scene in the game. After a maze map, there is a new maze that has never been seen before.
Of course, no matter how worried they are, they still have to move forward.
The best way now is to let players who don't have to worry about being threatened with their lives go and have a look.
Xi Zheng walked forward: "I'll go and have a look."
Ling En grabbed Xi Zheng almost immediately, and said with dark eyes, "Don't forget what you promised me before you came."
Xi Zheng felt helpless and funny: "Did you forget that I can be resurrected even if I die?"
Although he said so, it's a pity that Ling En still didn't let go of his hand: "Don't forget what happened in the Gala Temple last time."
Xi Zheng: "..."
This person refers to the fact that he was restricted from going offline by the Lord of Ice and Snow and was killed hundreds of times.
But how can he explain to Ling En that that is the ability of the ice and snow lord's demon god, only his domain can do this kind of thing, the nightmare lord does not have this ability.
Before Xi Zhengxun could explain it, the Meteor Tiger at the other end had half stepped into the door.
People looked at him as if half of his body disappeared in front of him, half of his whole body was here, and half of him disappeared.
After waiting for a while, Meteor Tiger turned around again, shook his head towards everyone and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is no problem over there for the time being, and there are no obvious traps."
Only then did Xi Zheng say to Ling En, "Let's go."
Since he wasn't allowed to explore the way, it's okay if someone explored the way.
The team passed through the gate in an orderly manner and came to the new maze.
It looks more like the interior of a castle, surrounded by an illusory starry sky, and in this starry sky, the staircase corridor spirals upwards, and above the head is an endless piece of light.
Just looking at this long road, people can't help but let out a sound of wonder.
I didn't expect such a place to exist in the Netherworld.
But before they could sigh any longer, a leisurely singing sound suddenly came from the void.
"Be careful!" Ella was the one who reacted the most. He stood up almost immediately, frowning and stopped in front of Xi Zheng and the others, as if staring nervously at something in the void.
And Xi Zheng's reaction was not slow, and he also became alert.
The enemy on the bright side will never be the scariest, the scariest one is the one who doesn't know what tricks they will use.
