Chapter 467: [Illusory Battlefield] (Part 10): Gnome Radar Tracking Device
The old NPC wasn't wrong. Perhaps it was due to the "Cold Resistance" effect, but the mercenaries sold at the Snowy Camp were all tough and hardy.
The lowest-tier mercenary available for recruitment is the [Frost Troll Warrior], a third-tier unit, costing 100 gold.
The 3,250 soldiers provided by the system are all second-tier units, which makes them significantly weaker compared to the Troll Warriors.
In addition to the Troll Warriors, the camp offers a variety of higher-tier mercenaries:
- [Frost Troll Spearman] (Third-tier, Ranged Physical) 150 gold;
- [Ice Wing Bat] (Third-tier, Melee Flying) 200 gold;
- [Arctic Shaman] (Third-tier, Ranged Magical) 250 gold;
- [Tundra Wolf Rider] (Third-tier, Melee Physical) 300 gold;
- [Winter Mage] (Fourth-tier, Ranged Magical) 2,000 gold;
- [Frost Dragon] (Fifth-tier, Mid-Range Flying Unit) 20,000 gold;
Each of these units has robust health and deals frost damage, which can slow or even freeze enemies.
Aside from mercenaries, the camp also offers a wide variety of consumables with different functions, such as the [Speed Boost Scroll], which significantly increases the movement speed of your troops, and the [Freezing Potion], which causes frost damage over a large area and freezes all targets within the affected zone.
As Su Yu scanned through the available items, one particular item caught his attention.
The item in question is the [Gnome Radar Tracking Device], which provides the location of a specified player and allows you to share that information. It costs 200 gold.
This is a valuable item that could greatly assist him at this stage.
However, Su Yu didn't immediately purchase it. Instead, he patiently waited for the right moment, keeping an eye on the public chat channel.
Three minutes later, the time seemed ripe.
Su Yu now had 5,225 gold to his name.
He spent 4,800 gold to purchase 16 [Tundra Wolf Riders] and used the remaining 400 gold to buy two [Gnome Radar Tracking Devices].
"Ding, successfully used [Gnome Radar Tracking Device] x2. You have obtained the location information of [Candy Bar] and [No Clothes]. Do you want to make this information public?"
Seeing the two location updates, a faint smile crept onto Su Yu's lips. "Make it public."
The public chat channel then displayed: "Player [Nemesis] used [Gnome Radar Tracking Device]. The coordinates of player [Candy Bar] are [324, 223], and [No Clothes] are at [236, 757]."
Upon receiving this notification, the other players present were momentarily stunned.
The map is a 1,000x1,000 square grid. Candy Bar's coordinates [324, 223] are in the southwest, while No Clothes is clearly in the northwest, with nearly half the map separating them.
Three minutes ago, the Lord and his loyalists had met in the southwest, while the rebels had gathered in the northeast. They had agreed to first kick Su Yu, who was in the northwest, out of the game.
Thus, the four armies began marching toward the northwest.
However, Candy Bar hadn't followed the main force to the northwest. Instead, he stayed in the southwest, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that he was securing the base and occupying the gold mines, not joining No Clothes.
!! and Alex, on the other hand, were moving together and had already reached the northwest area where Su Yu was located.
Upon seeing this information, !!'s eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the blonde woman beside him in broken English, "Alex, this is a great opportunity! The Lord and his loyalists have split up. If we move south and take out Candy Bar, we win!"
Alex, a very beautiful blonde, furrowed her brow in thought.
She deliberated for about ten seconds before making her decision. "Alright, we'll march south!"
She and her allies hadn't seized any gold mines on their journey, only the two back at their base.
Jiaxin Tang hadn't joined the main force in their northern campaign. He must have secured a significant number of gold mines in the southwest.
If they continued with the original plan to eliminate Su Yu, they would be at a disadvantage due to their lower gold production.
But now, with Jiaxin Tang and Qi Yue Wuyi split up, this was a golden opportunity! The best option for them to win the game was to head south. Without hesitation, the two rebel armies turned around and accelerated toward the south.
Qi Yue Wuyi, who was also heading south, was no fool—he had risen to prominence from a pool of 200,000 players. The moment his and Jiaxin Tang's positions were exposed, he knew he had to return to support his forces.
If he continued with the original plan, he would face the enemy's main force while the two rebel armies raided his base from the south, making him look like a fool. So, no matter what, he had to return first.
Su Yu had easily broken the siege with just two radar devices. However, he knew this wasn't the time to relax.
After using the radar devices, he used the Portal spell to quickly visit the five gold mines. He left a small number of troops to guard each mine and gathered the rest of his forces to march south.
He suspected that the two rebel armies would take this opportunity to surround the lord, and this was the perfect chance for him to create chaos and gain an advantage.
With 3,100 troops and 16 mercenary wolf riders, the large force set off toward the south.
Jiaxin Tang, upon receiving the system alert, realized the situation was dire. The rebel armies might be on their way!
But he didn't dare move his position, as doing so might prevent him from reuniting with Qi Yue Wuyi, making the situation even more dangerous.
So he stayed put, anxiously waiting. During this time, he used the 1,800 gold he had earned from mining to purchase 12 Flame Skeleton Archers (third-tier, ranged physical) from the Fire Camp, enhancing his army's strength.
...
Three minutes later, Qi Yue Wuyi hurriedly returned with his forces.
Seeing that it wasn't the enemy who had arrived, Jiaxin Tang visibly relaxed. "Thank goodness it's you. If it were the rebel armies, I wouldn't have known what to do."
Qi Yue Wuyi didn't waste time on pleasantries. He rushed to ask, "What do we do? On my way back, I sent a few cavalry to scout and confirmed that the two rebel armies are heading this way!"
"Don't worry, we can set an ambush," Jiaxin Tang said, looking at the 24 Flame Skeleton Archers he had accumulated. He then laid out his plan in full.
The plan was simple: Qi Yue Wuyi would lead the main force and the 24 Flame Skeleton Archers to hide in a nearby mountain pass. Once the enemy attacked, Qi Yue Wuyi would lead a flank attack.
The key to this battle was to create favorable conditions for the 24 Flame Skeleton Archers to focus their fire on Alex and his allies.
Flame Skeleton Archers were the most effective units for single-target focused attacks. If given the right conditions, they had a good chance of taking out the enemy's key commanders, securing victory in the match.
Qi Yue Wuyi agreed with the plan.
He quickly led his forces to the mountain pass to set up the ambush, leaving Jiaxin Tang with 2,000 infantry, priests, and archers to await the battle.
