Chapter 119: 39: Barbarians in chaos
The ranking of the Heavenly List is based on the number of barbarians killed.
Although Yileimiao and Zhuge Wangye are both from the Yin-Yang School of Military Strategies and their individual strengths are not that strong, there are still some differences between them.
Yileimiao is a wealthy woman. When she first entered the game "Baijia Zhudao", she dared to face the barbarians and fight with them.
Afterwards, Yileimiao was awarded the title of the Fishing Nest Immortal. During the fishing activity at that time, Yileimiao successfully fished out red carp with the help of resurrection coins, and realized the magical power of [using oneself as bait] on her own.
Although this magical power attracted a lot of hatred from the enemies, as a player whose consumption of red carp was second only to that of Niu Bu, Yile Miao relied on this ability and still killed many barbarians during several attacks on Iltsk Oasis.
Compared to Yilei Miao, the Dog-Headed Military Zhuge King rarely kills barbarians. The reason why he ranks seventh on the Heavenly Ranking is not because Zhuge King is so strong, but because he is old enough.
Baijiazhudao currently has 265 players, 200 of whom are pure newbies who have just entered the game for two or three days.
Among the remaining 65 players, 50 are fifth-test players. Most of them are in the process of changing their jobs, or have just completed a job change and have not yet mastered the magical powers.
When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. King Zhuge is a similar person. Compared with the big guys like Niu Bu, he cannot be ranked, but when facing newbies, he can still strike hard.
But no one expected that Zhuge Wangye, who was originally ranked seventh, would suddenly jump up in the rankings, jumping directly from the seventh position to the third position, second only to Yileimiao.
What is most incredible is that Zhuge Wangye's kill count is still increasing. Every hour or so, the kill count will increase by 1.
what happened?
Near the new resurrection pool, after hearing Yi Lei Miao's exclamation, everyone's eyes were all on Zhuge Wangye. Zhuge Wangye opened the Heavenly Ranking and looked at his soaring ranking. He even tossed his hair pretentiously and looked at Yi Lei Miao: "Sasgai, wash your asshole and wait for my thousand-year kill!"
"Get out of here. If you continue to disgust me, I will castrate you!"
Yileimiao raised her foot and kicked towards Zhuge Wangye. She looked at him threateningly, with flames sizzling in her hands.
"Stop pretending, damn it, tell me what's going on. Why did the number of kills suddenly increase so dramatically?"
Zheng Sanshui asked doubtfully. As a man of military skill who mastered the magical power of [Shooting the Halberd at the Gate], he was originally ranked higher than Zhuge Wangye.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zhuge Wang's ranking soared.
"Can I tell the truth?"
Zhuge Wang also looked at everyone and spread his hands: "To be honest, I don't know why my ranking has skyrocketed."
"Don't you know?"
"Damn, you're still hiding this from your brothers, right?"
"The Heavenly Ranking is a ranking of kills. King Zhuge has been following us for a while, but we haven't seen him kill anyone!"
"Indeed, he only used his magical power once, unlike Yilei Miao, who used it frequently."
"Magic power? Could it be that the sudden rise in ranking is due to Zhuge Wangye's magical power?"
"How is that possible? King Zhuge also used his magical powers half a month ago."
The players present were discussing the reason for the sudden increase in Zhuge Wangye's kills. It is impossible for the ranking on the Heavenly Ranking to surge without any reason. There must be a reason behind it.
The biggest possibility is Zhuge Wangye's magical power [Burning Corpses and Plague]!
"That shouldn't be the case. My proficiency in the Corpse Burning and Plague Calamity Magical Skill is very low, and it is difficult to cause large-scale casualties."
King Zhuge also thought it was unlikely at first, but he paused, a look of doubt on his face: "That can't be said, unless the barbarians in the copy don't care and let me do whatever I want with my magical powers."
"Is there a possibility?"
He Ao interrupted: "Not only did the other side not care about your magical power, but they even kept trying to deal with us for a while. They were physically exhausted and had no time to rest. Under these multiple influences, your magical power was not able to be used?"
"My suggestion is to continue to charge into the dungeon and find out what's going on. To see if it's really Zhuge Wangye who's exerting his magical powers."
For Niu Bu, he didn't want to think about what had happened. He just wanted to swing his knife and kill, and then rush directly into the copy.
"Ouke, no problem. Anyway, the new resurrection pool is not far from the dungeon. Let's make a few more sneak attacks at night to see what happened inside the dungeon."
"We have to kill him. Damn it. King Zhuge's ranking has also soared. Doesn't that mean he has already accumulated points and has a chance to exchange for a holographic game cabin?"
"Damn it! We haven't made any progress yet. How can we slack off?"
"Sun family's world, Sun family soldiers, follow me to charge!"
Zhuge Wangye's ranking started to soar after the 0.6 version update. He killed the barbarians during the "Glorious Ancestors" event, and these kills were naturally counted towards the points of the "Glorious Ancestors" event.
Activity points can be exchanged for holographic gaming cabins.
The players became motivated at the thought of the holographic game cabin. Under Su Shan's organization, they divided into three waves and rushed towards the Iltsk Oasis from three different directions.
The three groups of players have fairly balanced strengths.
Niu Bu, Zheng Sanshui, Zhang Xiaoti and other players with strong individual combat capabilities formed a group with some players who had not changed their jobs.
Players who have changed their profession to the Ram Faction will group together.
The last group is Zhu Chongsheng, Yi Lei Miao and other miscellaneous players who have changed their professions.
Under the stimulation of the holographic game cabin, three groups of players rushed towards the Iltsk Oasis from different directions. Facing the players who attacked again at night, the leader of the Iltsk Oasis, Wuzhuliuruo, had a face so gloomy that blood could drip out.
"Have you contacted the king?"
"My Lord, the King is on his way back. He wants you to hold on for another half a month and protect your men."
"How can there be another half month? Yancheng's Zhenbei Army has been attacking us for almost a month. Now our men are infected with a serious disease, and we are short of manpower. How can we hold them off for another half month?"
Wuzhuliuruo slammed the table heavily, stood up and paced back and forth in the tent.
Ever since the damn slave rebellion, Yancheng's Zhenbei Army has been harassing their Iltsk Oasis non-stop.
At first Wuzhuliuruo didn't care. The Yancheng Town Beijun that came to harass them was not only very weak but also had very few people. They could be killed by just sending a few people.
But as time went on, the strength of Yancheng Town's Beibei Army grew stronger and stronger, and their numbers increased, and ordinary soldiers were no match for them at all.
Fortunately, the number of soldiers in the Iltsk Oasis was hundreds of times that of the attacking Yancheng Town Beijun. Wuzhuliuruo ordered his soldiers to defend the territory for two kilometers and resolutely refused to go out to fight a field battle with Yancheng Town Beijun.
Although they are better at field battles, they have tens of thousands of tribesmen behind them after all.
Holding on to the territory is an extremely correct tactical strategy. Although the Yancheng Zhenbei Army soldiers attacked them day and night, making it impossible for them to have a good rest, over the past month, only a few Yancheng Zhenbei Army soldiers broke through their defense line and entered the territory, causing some casualties among the tribesmen.
But compared with the casualties of Yancheng’s Zhenbei Army, this amount is minimal.
Over the past month, the Yancheng Town North Army that Iltsk Oasis has killed has reached over 30 people, while the Yancheng Town North Army has killed only a few hundred of their soldiers, with a casualty ratio of 1:.
With the sacrifice of a hundred people, they annihilated three thousand enemies. This was a great victory for the Xianyun, who were not particularly good at fighting.
But Wuzhuliuruo was not happy at all. Although only a few hundred of his soldiers were killed or injured, everyone was exhausted mentally and physically, especially now that the tribesmen in the camp were suddenly infected with a serious disease. The morale of these soldiers was low and their spirits were extremely tense. What made the soldiers of Iltsk Oasis desperate and terrified was that the Yancheng Zhenbei Army seemed endless. They attacked day and night, and every soldier was extremely calm when facing death, without any fear or terror in their eyes.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the will and tenacity of Yancheng Town's Beibei Army. There are not many invading soldiers in each of Yancheng Town's Beibei Army, but each soldier is like a madman when fighting, and they are still waving their swords and refusing to retreat until the last one.
Death warrior!
No, it's more terrifying than the dead soldiers.
The Zhenbei Army of Yancheng does not know what fear is, nor does it know what death is.
Although Yancheng's Zhenbei Army is not strong and has few troops.
But the morale of the army did not collapse despite the 100% death rate, and the remaining soldiers continued to attack and kill them, which really frightened Wuzhuliuruo and the Xianyun in the Iltsk Oasis.
What kind of army is this that, with a mortality rate of up to 100%, not only did they not collapse, but they still attacked them with full fighting spirit.
What kind of commander could lead such a terrifying army?
Wuzhuliuruo was scared. He was afraid of the Yancheng Zhenbei Army, which was only at the student level, and he was afraid of less than a few hundred cannon fodder.
He told the departing king the news of what happened in the Iltsk Oasis. The king was on his way back with his cavalry. Due to the long journey, it would take the king another half month to get back.
Half a month.
Wuzhuliuruo walked out of the tent and looked at the soldiers who were already exhausted to the extreme. He really didn't know if he could hold on for another half a month.
There were not many soldiers from the attacking Yancheng Town Beijun Army, but the Iltsk Oasis was too large and the city walls were made of wooden fences with little defensive power. He had to send a large number of soldiers to guard all the city walls to ensure that there were no blind spots and that no Yancheng Town Beijun Army could enter the camp.
If we were a little careless, we would miss a soldier from Yancheng Town’s Northern Army entering the camp.
The burned granaries and the massacre of tribesmen by the Yancheng Town Beijun soldiers are examples.
It is said that it is easy to defend a city but difficult to attack it. Wuzhuliuruo felt that it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to defend the Iltsk Oasis, which had almost no city walls and was flat land on all sides.
He could only try his best to send soldiers to defend the city.
"Report, report!"
"Sir, we have spotted three waves of enemies, attacking us from three directions, with about 20 people in each direction!"
"Here it comes again, why is it here again?"
"It's only been a stick of incense since the last attack on the city, and the Yancheng Zhenbei Army is attacking again?"
When Wuzhuliuruo heard his subordinates report that another enemy attack was coming, his face looked extremely ugly. He looked at the soldiers who reported and immediately dispatched troops.
"Send out five groups of white wolves and five groups of snow foxes. For the remaining wave of enemies, send out five hundred soldiers to ensure the safety of our men."
Wuzhuliuruo sent out five groups of white wolves and snow foxes. Just when his soldiers were ordered to stop the enemy, several flames suddenly shot up into the sky from the camp.
Wuzhuliuruo looked at the flames rising into the sky, his heart skipped a beat, and he mounted his horse and led the few cavalrymen straight to the place where the flames were rising into the sky.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"God, please punish me, don't punish Ada. I made the mistake, not Ada."
"God, please forgive me for burning Ah Da's body. I beg you to forgive me!"
On the haystack, four corpses were burning in the flames, and a group of Xianyun were kneeling around them. They kept kneeling and confessing their mistakes to the corpses, hoping that the gods would forgive their mistakes.
Wuzhuliuruo, who came riding a horse, was so angry when he saw this scene. He saw flames rising into the sky in the camp and thought that the soldiers from Yancheng had sneaked in quietly and set fire to the granary. He didn't expect that it was his own people who were burning the corpses.
"What are you doing?"
"You actually burned the corpse and blasphemed the gods!"
"Are you worthy of your Ah Da? Do you want your Ah Da to be thrown into the frying pan?"
Wuzhuliuruo fiercely rebuked his tribesmen who were kneeling on the ground, saying that the Xianyun believed in the gods of heaven and the white wolf, and that after death they could only be buried in the sky; burial in the ground and even less cremation were not allowed.
Cremation is disrespectful to the gods and a threat to the White Wolf. Any Xianyun who dares to cremate will be severely punished.
What Wuzhuliuruo did not expect was that when the northern army soldiers of Yancheng Town continued to invade, his people were actually performing cremation.
"Chief, calm down, Chief, calm down!"
Seeing Wuzhuliuruo getting angry, the priest came out and explained: "Chief, there are frequent diseases in the camp now. Many tribesmen have been infected with diseases. These tribesmen who were cremated died of diseases. They carried a lot of diseases. If they were sky buried, the diseases would be spread to all the tribesmen!"
"Only by cremating their bodies with fire can the evil disease be eliminated!"
"fart!"
"Whatever evil disease is, it must be eliminated by fire."
"I think you are a spy from Yancheng, deliberately coming here to seduce my people and anger the gods!"
"Someone, catch him for me!"
Wuzhuliuruo glared at the priest fiercely, his face looked ferocious, and with a wave of his hand he ordered his men to capture the priest.
The Xianyun soldiers immediately tied up the priest. Seeing that the priest wanted to say something, Wuzhuliuruo raised his hand and knocked him unconscious, then looked coldly at the tribesmen kneeling on the ground.
"Since ancient times, we Xianyun have been worshipping the gods with sky burials. How dare you insult Ada and the gods with cremation? You deserve to die."
"Tie them up and lock them up. Tell all the tribesmen that the Xianyun do not allow cremation, only sky burial is allowed!"
As Wuzhuliuruo's order was issued, the kneeling Xianyun suddenly became chaotic and cried out.
Looking at the tribesmen who were taken away and imprisoned, Wuzhuliuruo snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the tent.
Under normal circumstances, if there was a serious illness in the camp and the tribesmen were cremated, Wuzhuliuruo would not say anything.
But he couldn't do that now. The flames rising into the sky caused by the cremation would affect his judgment. If everyone in the camp was cremated, then were the flames rising into the sky the cremation of the tribesmen, or was it the burning of the camp's granary?
The granary in the Iltsk Oasis had been burned down twice. If it burned down again, none of them would survive the winter.
Compared with starving to death due to lack of food, serious illness is nothing.
