The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The first to initiate the action was the Goblin King, Emperor Jian. Raj. Cider, who jumped down from the stands with his elite troops, raising a cloud of dust.
The army's drill came to an abrupt halt, and they stood at attention, forming a battle array under the command of the Goblin King.
The Goblin King's name is full of meaning.
First of all, Ci De is the surname of the ancient Goblin King. As it claims to be the descendant of the Goblin King, it must inherit this surname. Secondly, Raji is the name of the first human it hunted, which is of great commemorative significance. And the word Jian has a profound meaning.
As the saying goes, the simplest way is the best. Using strategies just shows that one's own abilities are insufficient. If one has power comparable to that of gods, then there is no need for strategies. Everything will be simplified. This is exactly the ultimate goal pursued by the Goblin King, Emperor Jian. Raj. Cider.
Originally, there would be no problem writing this name according to the language of this world, but because Yang Yu's system translates people's names, meaningful names will be translated, such as Bai Jin, Tie Bi, etc., while meaningless names or names in ancient languages are usually directly transliterated, such as Sekamens, Andeno, etc.
Therefore, the name of the Goblin King that Yang Yu saw - "the one who eats garbage" - was the result of hardcore machine translation.
Fortunately, when Yang Yu saw the name for the first time, he held back his laughter. Otherwise, the Goblin King would not have deployed his troops in this way. He picked up a long stick and rushed straight to the enemy camp to provoke Yang Yu, asking him what he was laughing at.
Somehow, Yang Yu bought more time and assigned numbers, organized the team, and formed a defensive formation.
Perhaps it would be hopeless for one person to fight against an overwhelming army with a group of NPCs who had no idea what amazing actions they would take.
But it is much easier for one person to control nearly a hundred people and turn the war into a strategy game with tower defense characteristics, just like playing Super Mario as a pure parkour game. You don't have to worry about picking mushrooms or stepping on monsters.
What's there to worry about
That is, all commands must be given verbally; combat is a real-time battle, and it is necessary to predict the opponent's actions and give instructions in advance; every point cannot be fully controllable, and once multiple points collapse uncontrollably, it is very likely that the whole thing will be lost.
Other than that there really isn't a big problem.
"Androno, the battle is about to begin. You are responsible for delaying the Goblin King. The longer we delay, the greater the advantage we can gain."
"Don't worry, I will hold it back even if it costs me my life."
Androno showed off his luxurious muscles and was full of confidence.
"One more thing. I want to learn [Shield Counter]. Can I get an advance on the reward?"
"If this is helpful in battle, it's not impossible to teach you in advance, it just takes time."
"Don't worry about the time. I can learn it quickly."
This game has a very high degree of freedom. Originally, Yang Yu just wanted to try whether he could get an advance payment, but he didn't expect that he would actually succeed.
At this moment the tasks on the system have also changed.
[Emergency mission: rapid rescue.]
No one knows what happened in the depths of the forest. The whereabouts of several adventure teams are unknown, which makes the Adventurer's Guild feel uneasy. Out of humanitarianism and to prevent the situation from further deteriorating and some unexpected and terrible things from happening, the Adventurer's Guild is preparing to organize an adventure group to go deep into the jungle to find out what happened and rescue the trapped people.
Mission requirements: Join the adventure group and, under the leadership of Androno, help rescue more than 10 adventurers whose whereabouts are unknown.
Reward: Skill [Shield Counter] (selected), 8,000 experience points, three draws.
Reward advance penalty: Experience gained -50% (until the end of this mission, if you abandon the mission, it will be changed to lifelong)
Failure or giving up penalty: All attributes decrease by 10%.]
Although it is possible to advance the reward, the system seems to hate this kind of speculative behavior and the punishment is too severe.
This is probably also to prevent players from accepting tasks but not completing them.
Yang Yu handed the shield to Androno, who instantly put the shield on his forearm. A spike-like red light covered the entire shield and lasted for nearly five seconds.
"Can you really learn it if you show it like this?"
"Of course." Yang Yu took back the shield and put it back into his left hand, then he also used a [Shield Counter].
Anderno grinned and patted Yang Yu on the back. "You are incredible. Many people say that this move is difficult to learn and often give up halfway. I didn't expect you to be able to learn it right away. Haha."
Does it seem so strange to the NPC if I just casually learn a difficult skill
After coming to this world, Yang Yu gradually became curious about what kind of existence a player like himself is in the eyes of NPCs.
Understanding the world in the game from all directions, staying rational while also investing some emotion into it, perhaps this is the key to playing a game well.
There were too many difficult games to play with strategy guides, and he had somewhat lost his original intention, but this game helped him find his original intention a little bit again.
If we classify game players into four types, namely, killing type, exploring type, achieving type and social type, he now prefers the achieving type.
Therefore, if an NPC really invests emotions in him, he will also respond to the NPC's expectations to a certain extent.
“Maybe some of them seem to be learned quickly, but in fact, I spent a lot of time and energy (earning skill points), and not all skills can be learned in one go.”
"I made a slip of the tongue. We still have some time to prepare. I haven't felt this nervous for a long time. I need to relax completely before I can give it my all."
Androno was doing exercises on the spot to relax his muscles. At this moment, a black shadow passed through the forest.
"careful."
Unfolding the illusory shield, Yang Yu stood in front of Androno and intercepted the dart.
While Yang Yu was learning skills, the Goblin Elite Assassination Team began to go around and surrounded them from all angles.
This battle, which had no sign of starting, finally began.
"Soldier No. 1 and Soldier No. 3, watch out to the right front. Be careful of the Goblin elite assassination team! Everyone else, be alert too."
In an instant, a tense atmosphere spread within the adventure group.
The Goblin King raised his mouth corners defiantly and swung his long stick. The battle was about to break out. The goblin army let out a deafening roar and charged towards Yang Yu and his men in an orderly manner.
"Priest No. 4, Priest No. 5, get ready. Follow my command and buff Androno. Priest No. 4, [Power Word. Shield], Priest No. 5, [Blessing of Krass], Priest No. 4, [Physical Strength Enhancement]."
"clear!"
Yang Yu immediately took command of the entire team. His speech was fast but clear and he accurately conveyed the instructions to every member of the adventure group, asking them to wait on the spot for the goblin's attack and be prepared for defense.
Soon, the two teams came into close combat.
The Goblin King swung his staff, and a flame ignited from the top of the stick, enveloping the Goblin King's fist and the entire staff.
That was not real fire, but magic that strengthened its own attack.
With 400 intelligence and 300 strength, plus a strange buff, Yang Yu knew that the Goblin King was a melee mage with mixed damage.
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Yang Yu doesn't know how long Androno can delay. He just wants the team to gain the advantage while Androno delays the Goblin King.
"Pastor number four, number five. Go!"
