Game of the World Tree - Chapter 223

223. Chapter 223 Who are you?

The Crocodile Mercenary Group was destroyed…

The whole battle process was so smooth that even Eve was surprised.

More than a thousand mercenaries, except for a few lucky ones who ran fast, all died under the players’ butcher knives…

In contrast, the players only paid the price of less than 300 deaths.

Among them, there were more than a dozen player captives who were killed by the mercenaries in anger, and a few unlucky ones who were accidentally stepped to death by the black dragon Myriel when he descended on the ground…

All the crypt spider knights survived, only some of them were injured. It

can be said that this battle loss ratio is quite brilliant.

At this time, Eve suddenly realized why the morale of the army was so important in the Middle Ages of Blue Star.

To be fair, although the number of players is twice that of the Crocodile Mercenary Group, in terms of the strength of both sides, the mercenaries are actually not worse than the players.

On the contrary, in terms of high-end combat power comparison, except for the black dragon, the players are even much weaker than the mercenaries.

Logically speaking, if the Black Dragon didn’t attack and the players lost the ability to run to the resurrection point, the mercenaries should have a higher chance of winning.

However, the fact was that the Black Dragon only made some threats, and the God-favored Ai’er didn’t attack much either. The players broke through the formation of the mercenaries like a dead tree, and chased the mercenaries like cutting melons and vegetables…

Eve even saw some players who were only in the lower rank of Black Iron, howling and chasing the mercenaries who were in the middle or even upper rank of Black Iron.

The latter was obviously stronger, but he dropped his weapon, fled in panic, and was eventually hacked to death by a much weaker enemy…

“In large-scale legion combat, the role of morale and organization is far greater than personal strength…”

“Unless the individual’s strength is really very strong and can cause a qualitative change that reverses the situation on the battlefield, such as… the Black Dragon! Otherwise, when the strength difference is not much, the side with higher morale and better organization must win!”

“Although I have restricted the players’ infinite resurrection, they are still not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of injuries and pain. It can be said that… they are born with stronger will and morale!”

“And the existence of team mode, team voice and small maps also makes them naturally have a relatively high degree of organization.”

“Maybe the discipline is a little worse, but when they are really organized into a legion, quantitative change leads to qualitative change…”

In fact, in the wars in the Middle Ages, once the casualties of the cold weapon army exceeded 10%, there would be a risk of collapse.

If the casualties exceed 30%, even the most elite army will be completely scrapped because of the destruction of the army’s composition and the psychological endurance.

In those examples of annihilation wars, more casualties actually occurred after the army was defeated. Many casualties were even caused by the chaos of the army killing each other or falling and trampling when fleeing.

It is also because of the collapse of morale that the losing side surrenders in an organized and large-scale manner in the war.

Of course, this scenario is limited to intelligent creatures fighting in large armies. If they face low-intelligence monsters, monsters, or even a group of pigs, it will be ineffective.

If there are more than a thousand wild boars, players may not be able to catch them all in a day.

“It’s okay. At least this combat power is enough to fight against the orcs without me taking action. After all the players in the third test are promoted to Black Iron, we can even consider taking the initiative to attack!”

Eve was still very satisfied with the test of the players’ combat power this time.

With this thought, He generously used His divine power and announced the completion of the mission…

[Ding——]

[The Crocodile Mercenary Group was destroyed, and mission objective 1 was completed]

[Players who participated in the mission received 5,000 experience points]

[Ding——]

[27 players were rescued, with a rescue rate of 46.6%, and mission objective 2 was completed]

[Players who participated in the mission received 466 contribution points]

[Ding——]

[Random mission: The Crocodile Mercenary Group was completed]

[Players who participated in the mission received 10 resurrection coins]

…

The players who were cleaning the battlefield were also delighted when they saw the system prompts passing by:

“Haha! The mission is completed!”

“But it feels like the reward is not much…”

“Be content! The real reward is for the mercenaries! Ten thousand experience points per head, and a lot of equipment dropped! Pick it up quickly!”

The players chatted and happily picked up the armor and swords dropped by the mercenaries on the battlefield.

More than a thousand mercenaries, that means more than a thousand sets of equipment!

Although the quality is not as good as the products of the exchange mall, it is better than the equipment of the orcs.

Even if the players who are dispatched this time don’t need them, they can sell them to the third test players with lower levels!

And those equipment damaged by the battle can also be handed over to the equipment forger for repair. If it is seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, it can be directly sacrificed to the goddess in exchange for some contribution points.

For example… Crocodile’s equipment.

Although it was completely scrapped under Myriel’s violent beating, it is still the equipment of the silver boss. Sacrificing it to the goddess can also make a small profit!

For a while, the battlefield was bustling, and all the players were happily picking up the spoils.

However, the place where the most players gathered was still the dozen trucks in the center of the mercenary camp…

“What is this? The goods brought by the mercenaries?”

“Open it and have a look!”

The players hurriedly pried open the boxes on the truck, and what came into their eyes were some daily necessities in the human world, some luxury goods, or some worthless magic props.

Maybe it is used for life, maybe for decoration, but it has no effect on improving strength.

“Tsk, I thought it was something good…”

The players were a little disappointed.

However, they still unloaded the goods and divided them up like a group of bandits plucking feathers from a passing goose.

It’s better to have something than nothing. Even if it’s just a decorative painting, you can take it home and hang it on the wall, right?

While the players were looting, there was another commotion in the nearby dense forest…

Accompanied by screams and pleas for mercy, a dozen terrified humans were pulled out of the bushes by the players…

Unlike mercenaries, they were ragged, pale and thin, and panicked.

“What’s going on?”

“Who are these people?”

“I don’t know. They just hid in the bushes and pretended to be dead, and then were found by the lunch boss.”

“They don’t look like mercenaries… Kill them?”

“Hulu just accidentally killed one, and only got 200 experience points, not as good as a goblin.”

“…”

“Isn’t this too bad? They are just ordinary people?!”

“Huh? Wait… Why do I feel… these people look familiar?”

…

Anders was almost scared.

These days, he felt that he was extremely unlucky.

First, he went to the border town to collect taxes on behalf of the Earl, but he encountered a black dragon attacking the city. Not only was he kidnapped, but he finally escaped and was arrested by a group of rude mercenaries…

And those daring mercenaries actually set their sights on the black dragon and attacked its castle!

As expected, the dragon’s revenge came soon. The terrifying and evil black dragon brought thousands of elves and directly destroyed the entire mercenary group!

Lord of Eternity! That’s thousands of elves!

Anders felt that this world must be crazy. How could the black dragon gather so many elves?

What’s more terrifying is that those elves are like a group of demons who like to kill. They don’t look like elves at all. They killed all the mercenaries without mercy!

Not only that, they didn’t even leave corpses for the mercenaries!

It’s terrible…

It’s really terrible!

That… It’s just a demon in elf skin!

Anders was almost scared. It was only because he was smart that he hid in the bushes during the chaos and barely escaped.

But… those bastards who were traveling with him! They actually hid with him, which exposed them in the end!

And now, they have become captives of those terrifying and weird elves who killed the mercenaries!

Lord of Eternity! Why is his luck so bad?

Could it be…Is he really going to die this time?

At this time, he heard the elves talking again:

“Huh? I recognized them. Isn’t this the human hired by Myriel when he came back?”

“Oh my god! Is it them? They led the mercenaries here?”

Hearing this, Anders was horrified and explained quickly:

“Dear noble elf warriors! It’s not like that! It’s not like that!”

“We are just innocent villagers! We are also victims! It was the mercenaries who kidnapped us. They learned about the black dragon from us, so…they became greedy…It has nothing to do with us! It has nothing to do with us!”

Anders cried bitterly and begged for mercy.

However, the elves’ talk made him tremble with fear:

“After all, it was you who led the mercenaries…”

“Why should we let you go? What’s the benefit?” “

Do you have any information to tell us?”

“Do you know where there are ruins and treasure maps?”

Information? Ruins? Treasure map? What is that?

Anders looked confused, but extremely terrified.

However, as they talked, the elves’ voices gradually disappeared.

Anders looked up fearfully and saw a male elf dressed as a druid, accompanied by a noble unicorn and a ferocious crypt spider, slowly walking towards him.

The other elves gave way to him slightly:

“Brother Mu! You are here!”

“Brother Mu, we have captured more than a dozen ordinary people. You have the most experience in communicating with NPCs. Let’s see how we should deal with them?” Brother

Mu? Is he the leader of the elves?

Anders was stunned for a moment, then he immediately pounced on him and hugged Li Mu’s thighs, crying:

“Lord Brother Mu! Lord Brother Mu! Please let us go!”

Li Mu: …

Player: …

“Who… are you?”

Li Mu looked at Anders’ clothes, which were obviously much more exquisite than those of the humans around him, and asked in a deep voice.

Thanks to Fang Gao, Lao Wan Zhang, and Xue Ye He for their 100-point reward! Thanks to Wu Hui for his 1,099 book coins reward!
