Chapter 473: The Grand Champion of the Illusory Battle
Chapter 473: The Grand Champion of the Illusory Battle
At 7 and 10 o'clock, the two Chinese armies, after a brief pause, moved in unison toward the 2, 1, and 12 o'clock positions, the rear of the three foreign armies. These foreign players, despite hearing Su Yu's secret signal, had no idea what it meant or that the two Chinese armies had "defected."
Meanwhile, in the camp, Su Yu's second [Winter Mage] had just been recruited.
The outcome was inevitable.
Under the three-pronged attack from Su Yu's army, the two Chinese armies, and the two [Winter Mages], the three foreign armies were quickly shattered and destroyed.
The remaining 8 and 9 o'clock armies, realizing the dire situation, abandoned their positions and hurriedly led their troops toward the edge of the vast icy platform, descending to safety.
With the defeat of the three foreign armies, the Chinese players, led by Su Yu, now occupied the entire icy platform.
The bounty for defeating the three teams—6,000 gold coins—was all claimed by Su Yu. He used this to have Morning Star recruit 20 [Tundra Wolf Riders], significantly boosting his army's overall strength.
After routing the enemy, the two Chinese players turned to look at Su Yu.
Seeing that this formidable player was none other than the Grand Champion, they were elated.
One of them shouted from a distance, "Hello, Grand Champion! I'm [Fengling Ferry] from the Mu Yun Guild. I never expected to meet you right at the start of the dungeon!"
"Hello!" Su Yu replied with a smile.
The other player also called out, "Grand Champion, I'm the independent player [Sabine the Black Hen]. You were incredible just now, defeating two equally sized armies with only a dozen casualties. I almost couldn't believe my eyes!"
As they spoke, the two players rode their mounts toward Su Yu.
"It was just a few tricks, and the enemies weren't very strong," Su Yu modestly replied. "But we shouldn't get too complacent. The game has just begun, and we need to work even harder!"
Both Fengling Ferry and Sabine the Black Hen nodded in agreement.
Fengling Ferry added, "Since you have such excellent command skills, why don't you take command of my army too?"
Sabine the Black Hen chimed in, "I agree. I've never commanded an army and have no idea how to do it. Why don't you take the lead, Grand Champion?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and responded, "Alright, I'll command your armies. My command skills are decent, and you can follow and learn. I'll try to strengthen both your armies as well as mine."
"Thank you, Grand Champion!" they both said happily.
Next, the three of them dispatched their armies to occupy the gold mines.
Su Yu claimed three of the five gold mines, while the remaining two were given to Sabine the Black Hen and Fengling Ferry, as a reward for their contributions in the recent battle.
After dividing the gold mines, the three of them rode their mounts to the edge of the platform.
Su Yu's mount, of course, was Dima. Since advancing to the fifth stage, he hadn't ridden this mare, but now, with his strength compressed to the third stage in the dungeon, she was back in service.
Looking down from the edge of the platform, the three of them finally understood where they were.
This large platform was actually the summit of a mountain. To understand the full scope, one needed to consider the entire illusory map.
This map was designed to accommodate 4,110 players and their armies, making it vast and seemingly endless.
In the center of the map, five mountains of equal height stood in a perfect pentagon, a truly magnificent sight.
Among the five towering mountains, the northernmost peak is covered in snow, which is where Su Yu is located. The eastern peak is blanketed in red lava, the western peak is covered in lush green vegetation, and the two southernmost peaks are shrouded in radiant holy light and dark shadows, respectively.
More than 4,000 player armies are scattered across these five mountains, with the majority positioned on the slopes and lower elevations, while a few, like Su Yu, have appeared on the peaks. At the center of the mountains lies a large lake.
This is the specific layout of the illusionary map.
Looking down at the landscape below, Sha Woji couldn't help but swallow hard.
He stared for a moment, then turned to Su Yu, "Boss Ke, what should we do?"
Without hesitation, Su Yu replied, "What should we do? We should use the peak as our base and descend to eliminate players from other countries! We'll follow the agreement: ally with fellow countrymen and eliminate foreigners. We should try to capture gold mines to expand our army. It's actually quite manageable."
"Alright, I'll follow your lead," Sha Woji responded.
True to his word, Su Yu used the snowy peak as his base and launched attacks on the players positioned on the slopes and lower elevations. The advantage of attacking from a higher elevation is significant.
Combined with Su Yu's exceptional leadership, the high mobility of his Tundra Wolf Riders, and the abundance of gold mines, Su Yu's forces swept through the foreign players in the snowy region with ease.
In just 30 minutes, under Su Yu's command, they defeated over a hundred foreign teams and allied with about 50 to 60 fellow countrymen. According to the panel, the total number of players on the map had drastically decreased from "4110/4110" to "1150/4110."
When the number dropped to "975/4110," it stabilized because these 975 players were all from the same country, and the remaining foreigners had been eliminated due to the unified front.
After the victory, the 975 allied players gathered by the lake.
Su Yu observed that more than 200 of these players belonged to the military system, led by Snow Leopard. The military is adept at command and control, so they had the largest contingent.
The second-largest group, also around 200 players, consisted of elites from various guilds. These elites, true to their name, managed to survive even in a command-oriented game.
The rest were mostly members of smaller guilds or independent players.
After the celebration by the lake, the 975 players dispersed across the map to compete for the final championship. However, this final competition was far from fair, as the quality and quantity of the players' armies varied greatly.
For instance, Su Yu had recruited two ultimate units, the Frost Dragons, each costing 20,000 gold. Most players, on the other hand, had to carefully manage their few thousand gold, and their command skills were no match for Su Yu's.
The outcome was predictable.
As time continued, an hour into the illusion, Su Yu's core forces faced off against the military forces led by Snow Leopard in a decisive battle. Despite the roughly equal numbers, Su Yu's superior command skills ultimately led to the defeat of Snow Leopard's forces, making him the ultimate champion of the illusionary showdown!
