Numerous torches were lit in the darkness, and the scattered area of a group of thousands of people was relatively large. After the torches were lit up, the large open space in front of the gate of the tower of darkness was dotted like stars.
With more and more torches, more players and NPC soldiers began to gather in this open space. Although everyone can be regarded as a member of the Holy Light Council, they are also working towards the same goal. Essentially, the empire and the alliance belong to two different organizations, and it is impossible to truly achieve integration so quickly, and after yesterday’s battle, let everyone understand that in such a large battle group, there is actually no formation and formation. According to the general command, every point on the battlefield is a small battlefield. Only when every small team wins can the battle be won as a whole. Therefore, compared to yesterday, everyone has a clearer division, not just The empire and the alliance have separate teams. The empire and the alliance are also divided into small teams with guilds or organizations as the unit. Everyone tries to get close to avoiding orders, while several other scattered forces stand together.
As the heroes and temporary commanders of this battle, Yi Xuan and Edward stood at the forefront of the team. Behind them were Edward’s Green Watchers team and the Holy Light Knights led by Yi Xuan, and Yang Kai explained that it was He came to support Yi Xuan, so he didn’t pay attention to any status or status in this battle. A dignified barbarian warchief followed Yi Xuan’s Holy Light Knights. He was incorporated into Yi Xuan's guard.
Yi Xuan drew his saber and waved at the gate of the Dark Tower, and he was about to announce his advance. At this time, Edward's dwarf hero who led the Alliance reinforcements last night quit.
"I'm sorry, sir, I think Elder Edward should be the first to enter the Dark Tower, only then my unruly subordinates will be convinced." Although the tone was polite, the content sounded uncomfortable.
Yi Xuan frowned. His main goal was to save Zhao Beifeng. Regarding the question of who is the first and who is the next, he thinks that there is really no need to entangle him. He glanced at Edward, who was looking idly toward the side, not knowing what to look at. , Apparently also supporting the dwarf.
"Okay." Yi Xuan did not want to waste time on this question, and nodded happily.
"Wait." Sir Rexxar next to Yi Xuan hurriedly stopped, "Elder Yi, I don't think this is so good. After all, the soldiers of the empire occupy an important position in the coalition army, and the top of the empire is very supportive. For your actions, you see, this honor of entering the Tower of Darkness cannot be handed over so easily." Rexxar's face smiled and didn't smile. Although the elder opened his mouth and shut his mouth, it was in his tone. But it is the determination that I never want to let go.
"This..." Yi Xuan did not expect to have a problem with such a problem that is not a problem. It is no wonder that human nature is the key to determining the outcome of everything. This is not a classic. You have not made any money yet. Let's fight for the money. Well, if you are defeated this time, wouldn't whoever gets in the door first gets the insult? But at the moment of the enemy, Yi Xuan certainly can't say such frustrating words, and he has to rely on the forces of the alliance and the empire, and it is not easy to be too stiff, so Yi Xuan said this word, not knowing what is next. How to pick it up.
"Sir Rexxar, I have heard of you, why? I heard that you joined in early, are you eager to go in and die?" Speaking to the imperial commander, the smell of gunpowder in the dwarf's mouth was obviously strong. many.
"You may not know this. It is an honor to die in our empire. Unlike your alliance, you may feel that it is more important to come and clean up the battlefield." Rexxar was still a gentleman, and cursing around the corner.
The dwarf hero didn't turn a bit at first, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "What do you mean? You mean I am greedy for life and fear of death, so I came here late on purpose?" The dwarf hero finished the battle yesterday. He brought people here. When he came, the people of the empire had already arrived, so he might think that only his team was the last to come, so listening to Rexxar's words was particularly harsh.
Rexxar took advantage of his mouth and looked smug, "You said this yourself, but I didn't expect that it was because of this that I came late." This sentence further confirmed the dwarf's reputation for being greedy for life and fear of death.
"You..." As a militant nation of dwarves, it is estimated that there is nothing more insulting than this. The dwarf is about to draw out his warhammer almost immediately.
At this moment, Yi Xuan felt a sudden vibration under his feet. This vibration became more and more obvious. Even the tower of darkness began to shake. But soon, Yi Xuan realized that it was the tower of darkness that was shaking. The earth was It shook under his lead.
Everyone looked up to the top of the tower in disbelief, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were circling constantly, like a whirlpool, and the core of the rotation was on the top of the tower. I don’t know where there is anything. The dark energy was being stirred, and a pattern was quickly formed. Yi Xuan stared at the dark clouds for a long time. He felt that the dark energy was not only rotating, but also being absorbed by something.
"What's the matter? Earthquake?"
"It's not like, I think it's like this tower is going to fall." There were whispers among the players, but in such a violent shaking and booming sound, this kind of discussion gradually turned into a shout.
"We won't be killed by the tower directly?"
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you!"
This rumbling sound became louder and louder, and in the end it seemed as if someone was beating a drum in the ear. It was in this drum sound that Yi Xuan clearly heard the sound of the system prompt.
System reminder: The Great Dark Sage Zhao Beifeng is undergoing a ritual to resurrect the Shadow God. When this ritual is completed, the Shadow God will descend into this world. As the Shadow God is about to be resurrected, the dark energy controls the entire dark tower. The Great Dark Sage Zhao Beifeng has obtained full control of the Dark Tower. He is currently on the 99th floor to perform the resurrection ceremony of the Shadow God. In order to prevent the resurrection of the Shadow God, Zhao Beifeng must be killed before dawn tomorrow.
After the system prompt, the rumbling gradually lowered, and finally turned into the kind of buzzing vibration at the beginning. It seems that it was the movement of the ceremony just now. No matter what, since it can make such a big movement, look. The power of coming to this ceremony is definitely not small.
Now there is a time limit. Before dawn, it is a long way to hit the 99th floor. At this time, Yi Xuan can't manage that much. There is no such thing as the American time arguing about the first work. He shouted at the crowd with his saber: "Follow me." Immediately after Yi Xuan's crotch, the silver horse raised his front hooves, screamed faintly, and rushed in toward the gate with his four hooves behind him. A hundred knights and the barbarians mixed in it followed.
Edward saw that he couldn't let him shoot the limelight all by himself, and hurriedly shouted: "For the honor of the Holy Light." He also chased in.
In this way, the Empire and the Alliance will no longer have any prioritized disputes, and everyone is rushing inside. When I arrived at the gate of the Tower of Darkness, I felt the gloomy, chilly wind blowing out constantly, as if it were a huge cave inside. Although those ten thousand years lanterns were still lit inside, the darkness of today The gloom outside the tower.
Yi Xuan rushed into the hall on the first floor and looked up. The whole hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of inexplicable dark fog, which made people deeply disturbed. This is still Yi Xuan's feeling, the template is slightly Lower heroes or lower-level players feel absolutely terrifying at this time. In fact, this hall is still that hall, and the layout is still those layouts, but it just makes the people in it uncomfortable.
If those NPCs can be understood as expressions brought about by system control, then the player's feeling is a real and personal existence.
The number of coalition forces this time is really too much, and this hall is usually prepared for players who play dungeons, so at the same time, the more it can accommodate 300 to 500 people, most of the people who enter the hall at this time are still NPCs, but Whether it was entering the hall or outside the hall, the second system prompt sounded in the ear at this time.
System reminder: The Expeditionary Army officially invades the Tower of Darkness, and the plot mission "Light and Darkness" is officially launched. It is reminded that the plot characters who died in this plot mission will die permanently, and all the things that happened during this period will be remembered in the history of the game.
Hearing this prompt, the players outside the tower cheered. They don’t have to be afraid of death like NPCs, but they can also get their own glory and experience in this action, so this reminder is for them. It must be good news.
But for NPCs, they are not so optimistic, especially for people like Yi Xuan who have real emotions, this mission also means life and death for them.
All NPC faces flashed solemn expressions, but only flashed. Everyone knew that this was their own choice, either for honor, or lofty for the creatures of the world, or just for friends. A promise, they all must complete this plot task today, and only succeed, not fail.
"Okay, everyone heard it just now. Our goal is the 99th floor of the tower. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. We must work together." Yi Xuan turned around and shouted loudly to everyone behind him. "Because our coalition has too many people, it is not easy to exert its strength in such a narrow terrain, so I decided to split the team into action. Our main line is to divide the troops into two ways: the first way is to attack from the stairs to the top of the tower. It is designed to consume the number of enemy monsters and contain the enemy's strength. The second route is the portal operation, which is led by me. Our main goal is to attack the top of the tower and organize the resurrection of the shadow god. Next read. The person in charge of the name leads the team up the stairs to fight the monsters, the dwarf Kaldir..." Yi Xuan assigns the tasks of everyone, deliberately assigning all the people who are not in the same system to those who are far away, so that he can ensure that he is the first. The top of the tower that enters the dark tower, the 99th floor, when will it be attacked? They still have nearly 24 hours, even if they walk through the portal plus the time to fight monsters, it is estimated that it will be enough.
When the dwarf hero heard that he was assigned to the staircase group, he was obviously unconvinced, but Edward knew Yi Xuan's final plan. These people were just delaying time. He would not ruin himself and Yi Xuan because of their dissatisfaction. Edward said to him seriously: "In this battle, only the division of labor is different, and the honor is the same. You are also fighting to stop the conspiracy of the Shadow Cult." After that, it was not enough. Added a sentence: "As a soldier, you must obey orders, and you must obey the orders of the Light Council when you join the Light Council.” The dwarf hero boss was reluctant, but there was no way.
"Okay, act now." Yi Xuan saw that the stingest person had been persuaded, and immediately said to everyone. While talking, he rushed up to the teleportation platform on the second floor, where he could find the way to 99. It was a short-cut to teleport on the first floor, but only when he stepped up the stairs leading to the second floor, a large swath of monsters flashed upstairs, and the battle was even started.
These monsters seemed to have come out of the darkness by themselves. They immediately filled the gaps around them. They fought with players and NPCs. Yi Xuan didn’t have the time to waste time with these garbage monsters. He turned to Yang Kai. Winking a wink, yelling "for justice." He rushed to the second floor, Yang Kai followed closely, and those monsters dodged as soon as they could dodge. After fighting for a few times, they followed. The dwarven hero who was dissatisfied just now drew out his warhammer, and roared at a half-beetle monster on the side. The dwarven tribe’s life is brave and cruel. Once they fight, they don’t care about anything. I am dissatisfied with the assigned tasks.
Swarms of monsters flooded up along the way, densely packed like a tide, but at this time Yi Xuan has long been different from what it used to be, not only has the attribute bonus provided by the sixth-level template, but also the original Nephalem bloodline. The powerful increase in his strength, coupled with the top-of-the-line luxury equipment, the combat effectiveness is almost exploding. At this time, he feels the energy of the Holy Light in the body as if it is real. All abilities have also reached the peak stage of the past.
A holy light flashed, his figure disappeared in place, and while his body was teleporting, it brought out a golden phantom, straight through the monster pile, when he appeared again, wherever he passed The monsters were all turned to ashes in the shining light.
"Damn, what's the situation?" Yang Kai who followed Yi Xuan was obviously taken aback when he saw Yi Xuan's vigor, and followed the road opened by Yi Xuan. "Old Yi, you are too fierce, right? The blood volume of these monsters is not low, why didn't you get rid of them?"
Yi Xuan looked at his whole body. At this moment, his whole body was enveloped by the holy light, and his whole person was like a golden god of war, dazzling exceptionally among the dark monsters.
"I don't know, is it because my holy light has a restraining effect on monsters?" Yi Xuan said hesitantly. At this moment, I remembered that when he was fighting with one of the eight knights of Shadow, the other party summoned it. There was a shadow spirit, but this shadow spirit was very afraid of the light when Mary appeared. Now it seems that this is definitely not accidental. The energy of my own light seems to be the nemesis of the shadow energy. As long as the energy is large enough, It can completely achieve the effect of a spike.
"But you weren't as powerful as the Holy Light yesterday." Yang Kai is still a little puzzled. Although it is a good thing for his brother to show his might, if he doesn't figure it out, there is always no bottom in his heart.
"Yesterday? Oh, I understand." Yi Xuan's heart was bright. It seems that this is because he strengthened the relationship of Nephalem's blood. I didn't expect that besides the improvement of physical fitness, even the energy of the Holy Light also increased a lot. , But it was too late to say so much at this time. Yi Xuan saw that a monster had rushed up, and a saber chopped it down and said to Yang Kai: "I'll talk to you when I go back, and rush now."
At this time, the monsters on the stairs have fully started the battle with the dwarves and the NPCs of the alliance. The players who followed, including alliances and empires, saw the strange mountains and seas, and they were so happy that they rushed up with a knife and axe. Chop, as the battle line gets deeper and deeper, there are more and more contact points like this, the battle is in full swing, and the first floor of the tower of darkness screams for a time.
Just as Yi Xuan led the heroes and players of the Holy Light Council towards the top of the Tower of Darkness, the ceremonies on the top of the Tower of Darkness were also proceeding intensely. At this moment, this has never looked like this. The top of the tower opened by the player ushered in his first batch of visitors, but the appearance of these visitors is not so comfortable.
In the middle of the top of the tower is a huge platform. The platform is already full of lines at this time. A pentagram is painted with many strange and distorted symbols on the outside. These symbols and lines are connected to form a A huge magic circle. Around the magic circle, 12 shadow priests in long robes are surrounded by a wave of shadow energy. They stand on 12 points of the magic circle at equal distances, and put the magic The array formed a circle, and at the center of the pentagram, which is the middle of the magic array, a man in a black robe was standing there. He kept twisting his body, as if he wanted to break free. What kind of restraint, but there is nothing in him except the shadow energy.
The shadow priests were muttering words. The pronunciation of these words was weird and short. They sounded like they were singing, but they couldn't even make a tune.
As their bodies were chanting the spells, they kept changing their gestures. Suddenly the 12 priests all turned around, facing the person in the circle, crawling, and raised their hands high above their heads.
They bowed their heads religiously, looked at the ground, and the sound of spells in their mouths kept on. They raised their hands high, stood up, and then repeatedly kneeled down, between kneeling and standing, one The weird atmosphere slowly condensed, but the person who was bowed by them seemed to not appreciate at all. He kept twisting this body, and the blue veins on his face were violent. When he found that these efforts were futile, he was lagging behind, and he was anxious and frustrated. Suddenly shouted at the priests: "Damn, you bastards, let me out quickly." It's not Zhao Beifeng or which.
"Why? Don't you like the performance I arranged for you?" His face suddenly changed his expression, and said in a different tone, "Zhao Beifeng, my most loyal servant, soon," Then you can completely plunge into my arms."
"No!" Zhao Beifeng shouted loudly. His body was firmly bound by the magic circle, completely unable to move. The dark shadow energy was spinning around him, coiling around, pinpointing his fragile place, and rushing in. , Immediately a chill came from that position, and as he continued to intrude into his body, he felt that his body was being deprived little by little.
At this time, Zhao Beifeng and the one Yi Xuan saw outside the tower are different. Now he still seems to have his own consciousness. At least he knows that the ceremony in front of him is not a good thing for him, but he obviously didn't do it. Know exactly why I am where I am today.
He angrily shouted at the shadow priests: "You bastards, I am your master, and I am your boss, let me go quickly." There was a rage in his heart, to know these shadows. The priests are all assigned to his subordinates by the system. In the past, they were completely obedient under his orders. Why did they look different at this time
The prayers of the priests continued, and the voice in Zhao Beifeng’s ears rang again: "Your subordinates? Do you call them subordinates? It's very interesting." Then something seemed to have been thought of, and he said with a smile: "But you It is also my subordinate, I ordered you to stand here, why do you want to resist?" The voice of the Shadow God was full of ridicule.
"No, this is different from what we said before." Zhao Beifeng shouted loudly. "what the hell do you want?"
"Oh? Isn't it the same? What did we say before? Isn't it that I am willing to give you the power to prevent you from being killed by those players? I have done it, haven't I? Now it's your turn to take on you Obligation.|"
"But I never promised you to let you occupy me."
"Hahahahahahaha." The voice made a violent laugh, as if he had heard the most innocent and funny words at this time. After a while, he finally stopped the laughter and said coldly: "Then you think I want What are you going to do when you enter your body?"
His words made Beifeng Zhao speechless. Once upon a time, how could he not understand what this meant, but at that time he thought that things were under his control and that he was relying on his own intelligence and mind. Being able to get rid of such a fate, he even thought he could defeat this so-called god in the end, but... Why did things happen like this
Zhao Beifeng thought silently in his heart, but for the Shadow God who had shared a body with him, this kind of silent thinking seemed to be the same as saying it out loud.
"How do you think things should be? What do you think you are? Do you really think you are a great character? No, no, no, you are just a puppet to me, a pawn at my disposal , Open your arms to welcome your own upcoming destiny."
"No, never." The words of the Shadow God seemed to pierce Zhao Beifeng's nerves, causing him to shout loudly, he wants to live, he wants to pass the final trial, he wants to return to the real world, dignified Zhao Beifeng , How can you die in such a ghost place!
Another shadow force rushed in, causing his soul to tremble again. But this time he didn't try to seize control of the body anymore. He stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and stood quietly. He wanted to use all his energy to keep himself awake. This belief echoed in his brain: "Yi Xuan will come to rescue me. He will come to rescue me."
"Haha, ridiculous." Although Zhao Beifeng is only talking to himself, he is now completely transparent to the Shadow God, and the Shadow God's tone is sneered: "Do you think a mortal can defeat the God?"
"Huh." Zhao Beifeng finally calmed down and sneered: "Don't worry, he will prevent your resurrection, have you forgotten? The real core of this game is the player. If you are really resurrected, the players will not be able to Confrontation, how could the system give you such an opportunity."
"Player?" The Shadow God laughed "hehe". "Then we will wait and see."
