"What should we do? Do we want to postpone the action?" Lin Xue asked.
The Wizards Association's move was a covert move, which directly disrupted all their subsequent plans. If you know it is a trap, you must not act according to the original plan. Otherwise, it will be like hitting cotton with a fully charged punch. The impact on the strength and morale of the player group will be unimaginable.
"It's too late." Mu You sighed and shook his head. The time was too short.
If only the Dragon Group and the Abnormal Bureau were involved in this operation, it would be okay and it could be terminated at any time. But the problem is that the scope of this operation is too wide. The news of the operation at 11:30 on the evening of the 8th has been passed on to too many people. .
Even if he could urgently stop the actions of the Dragon Group and the Extraordinary Bureau, it was impossible to notify everyone instantly during this imminent time. If they don't take action, someone will eventually take action, and there will be no less things that should be exposed.
Moreover, there is a more important point, that is, the floating door has probably been opened at this time. After all, the movement of the floating stone needs to be controlled by people. It may have been roughly moved in the direction of the imperial capital before, but to reach the precise location at the precise time, people must control it personally, so the door must be opened in advance.
But when the door is opened, the action is given up. The next time the door is opened will be ten days later, by which time all missions in the server will be over.
In other words, the cancellation of the operation this time is equivalent to the complete failure of the "airborne troops plan". In the next few days, they had to face the vigilant Wizards Association. At the same time, they lost the moving door as a weapon, and the possibility of breaking the tower was almost zero!
So in general, the arrow is on the string now and has to be fired.
Mu You raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was 11:26, and there were only the last four minutes left before the scheduled action time.
"I'll go back and be right back!" The first website address is p://m.biquke.
Mu You said something to Lin Xue, and then put down a teleportation array on the spot.
The teleportation array will be detected by the Wizard Tower, which may alert others and alert the Wizards Association. But at this time, I couldn't care about that much. It was better to alert the snake than to let the large troops fall directly into the snake's nest and die.
After passing through the teleportation array, Mu You returned directly to the door of Xueyuan.
Xiaoya was sitting in front of the door guarding the door, and on the snowy field in front of her, an elf priest was leading a group of summoned beasts to patrol.
Xiaoya's game characters and summoned beasts have been transferred here before. Now she is sitting behind the door, playing the game and watching the actions of her characters. It feels quite novel.
As she was immersed in the game, she saw a person suddenly appear in front of the door, startling her, and then she saw that it was Mu You.
"Huh? Boss, why are you back? Aren't you about to demolish the tower?"
"Something happened..."
Mu You didn't have time to elaborate. After entering the door, he immediately took out his mobile phone from the lock cylinder space, waited for a few seconds, and after the signal was restored, he took out a business card from his body and dialed the number on it.
Under normal circumstances, if he wants to get in touch with the national department, he needs to contact Zhang Yang first. But now it's too late to contact Zhang Yang. There will always be a process for disseminating news from bottom to top, and now, when we are racing against time, we don't have time to go through these processes.
So Mu You directly contacted a person with more say - the Blood Emperor!
What he was holding in his hand at this moment was the business card that the Blood Emperor had given him when he rescued the little boy. It had the Blood Emperor's personal phone number on it.
Now he only hoped that the action team over there had not entered yet, and that the Blood Emperor had brought the phone with him.
Fortunately, after a brief busy signal, the call was quickly connected.
"who?"
The Blood Emperor's somewhat wary voice came from the other end. When a major operation is about to begin, anyone will be alert when they suddenly see an unknown number calling their personal phone number.
"It's me, Mu You."
"Oh?" The Blood Emperor was startled. He had indeed given Mu You his personal number, but the other party had never contacted him before. He did not expect that he would suddenly call at this juncture.
"how?"
"Stop the operation immediately. The arcane tower in the military camp is a trap!" Mu You got straight to the point and directly summarized the situation.
"Um?"
The Blood Emperor frowned when he heard this, and immediately stretched out his hand and gestured to everyone in the hall: "Wait a minute!"
At this moment, in a certain hall in the capital, nearly a hundred fully armed senior players have been fully equipped and ready to go. In addition, there are a large number of armed personnel and liaison clerks responsible for handling various emergencies.
The little boy that Mu You rescued before was now huddled in the corner of the room. Next to the boy, an arched door opened a few centimeters. Inside the door was a dark night, with clouds looming.
In order to prevent the light from behind the door from leaking out, a black cloth curtain was specially added to the door.
When the Blood Emperor answered the phone, Gao Wan's team was actually ready to set off, but they didn't expect the Blood Emperor to suddenly stop them and all looked at him strangely.
After the Blood Emperor stopped the others' actions, he returned to the phone: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
Mu You tried his best to describe the situation he just encountered as accurately as possible.
"You mean, you were near the Arcane Tower just now and noticed something unusual about the Arcane Tower?"
"Yes."
"How did you identify them?" the Blood Emperor asked.
"This is a long story, but there is a high probability that the current Arcane Tower is a deception. The real Arcane Tower may be inside the Wizard Tower."
"Maybe? In other words, you are not completely sure?" The Blood Emperor noticed the careful wording in Mu You's words.
"Yes." Mu You admitted directly. No one has ever seen the real Arcane Tower, and even Vivian is only suspicious. Before actually coming into contact with the tower, she still cannot completely conclude that it is fake.
His task is not to forcefully give a definite answer, but to accurately convey the situation he has grasped.
"How sure are you?"
"Seventy percent!"
Mu You estimated this number, and then added: "As for the real Arcane Tower being inside the Wizard Tower, there is no evidence for this. It is just pure speculation. Maybe the Wizard Association used other means to hide it."
"Okay, I understand."
Time was running out, and after understanding the whole story, the Blood Emperor hung up the phone.
Others gathered around immediately.
As the person in charge of this operation, Jiuyou was the first to ask: "What's going on?"
The Blood Emperor briefly and concisely explained what happened on the phone just now.
"Is the Arcane Tower fake?"
Everyone else was shocked when they heard the news, and at the same time they were secretly glad that the call came just in time. They were almost about to take action just now...
But not everyone believed the news.
After a brief moment of surprise, doubts followed.
"Who is the caller? What level? What is his identity? How did he know?" The first person to question was Yakov, the president of Russia's Desert Light. He was level 20 and one of the strongest men in Russia.
Desert Light is China's ally in Russia. Yakov led a total of thirteen high-level players in Russia to support this operation.
The reason why Yakov was the first to stand up and question was because the intelligence work on the Arcane Tower was handled by Desert Light.
Not long ago, his close intelligence officers had just used special means to find out the exact situation of the Arcane Tower, and they were 100% sure that it was the real Arcane Tower.
Of course Yakov trusted his men, so he vowed to convey the news to the allies of the Celestial Empire.
Unexpectedly, when the action was about to take place, someone here raised doubts and suspected that the Arcane Tower was fake. This was equivalent to completely denying the intelligence they had worked so hard to obtain. Yakov's face certainly didn't look good when they were slapped in the face.
"The caller's name is Mu You, level 12, a special agent from a branch of the Abnormality Bureau. As for the method of knowing... According to him, he used some method to detect the abnormality of the Arcane Tower, and there was a higher The arcane tower below is probably fake." The Blood Emperor did not add any exaggeration and explained the situation truthfully.
"Are you kidding? How reliable can the information sent back by a level 12 ordinary player be?" Yakov immediately scoffed after hearing this.
I thought I had some clear conclusion, but in the end, the other party only had vague suspicions.
The person in charge of the investigation on his side is a level 17 confidant, and he also has a hidden relic that specializes in intelligence. The two sides are incomparable in terms of trustworthiness and ability. Of course, he is more willing to believe the conclusions of his own personnel.
"It's not that simple. Based on my understanding of this player, he is a very low-key and cautious person, and he will not make random mistakes. He said he was 70% sure. I'm afraid he was speaking cautiously. The actual probability will only be higher. This information is very likely to be true." The Blood Emperor said.
After the Blood Emperor finished speaking, Bluebeard, the president of the Ice Emperor next to him, couldn't help but question: "I've heard about this Mu You. It is said that he has been outstanding recently... but it seems that he joined the Abnormality Bureau not long ago, right? Blood Emperor, you Are you familiar with him?"
"I'm not very familiar with him. I've known him for less than a month. I've only met him twice so far..." the Blood Emperor said.
"How do you believe a man you have only met twice?" Bluebeard said strangely.
"I believe it." The Blood Emperor said.
"Ah..." Blue Beard didn't know what to say. The Blood Emperor's trust in this man made him feel a little baffled.
At this time, Canghai, the vice-president of the Business Alliance, stood up to smooth things over: "President Yakov, don't worry, there is an old saying in our country, 'It is better to believe something is than to believe something is not', regardless of whether this matter is true or not." , now that someone has raised this possibility, we should all be concerned.”
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to give up action just because someone else said something that cannot be verified?" Yakov was very unhappy. He thought that such indecision before the war was a taboo. Unfortunately, this is not his room now. This action was ultimately led by the players on the Chinese side.
The others looked at each other, a little unsure of what to pay attention to, and finally turned their attention to a person in the hall.
Jiuyou, the talker of the Dragon Group, was one of the only players on the scene who drank 25 bottles of evolution potion and advanced to the epic level. The other one was Ice Emperor's Bluebeard.
As the overall person in charge of this operation, Jiuyou was the only one who could make the final decision when encountering such major disagreements.
"Jiu Shen, look, do you want to postpone the action and investigate the situation clearly first?" Cang Hai looked at Jiu You and suggested.
"no."
Hearing this, Jiuyou shook his head directly: "There is no way to secretly investigate this kind of thing. The only way to confirm is to directly attack the Arcane Tower to see the feedback, and such a move will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Wizards Association. Moreover, now the mobilization work It has been completed, a large number of tasks for middle-level players have been assigned, the door has been opened, and the arrow is already on the string, and it is impossible not to fight."
Of course, everyone else understood what he meant. They worked hard, then failed again, and finally exhausted. This time, everyone's morale was at its highest and they stopped when they were most prepared. It would only be more difficult to organize an effective attack in the future. Disaster.
"If you ask me, just go with the original plan! If the tower is fake, then we are in trouble. Let's withdraw and think about it in the long term!" Yakov said.
"Withdraw? It's not that easy!"
"If the Arcane Tower is fake, then if we jump down, it will be equivalent to falling directly into the enemy's army! Moreover, if the Wizards Association is willing to spend a lot of money to build a high tower, won't they prepare some other towers? Trap?"
"Then we need to transfer directly to the Wizard Tower? But you know, there is a magic crystal cannon on the Wizard Tower! If the Arcane Tower is really built inside the Wizard Tower, our airborne plan will be impossible to complete. During the landing process If you hit it, it will be locked by the magic crystal cannon, and even the 'door' may even be knocked down..."
"I think it's better to land in an empty space where there's no one there, and determine where the real tower is first. If you're not even sure of the target, how are you going to fight this battle..."
…
Everyone was talking about it.
At this time, all the pressure came to Jiuyou.
If there was a chance, he would like to talk to the boss on the ghost ship at this time. He felt that the boss's words might be able to give a more precise conclusion and tell them which side was true and which side was false.
Unfortunately, after getting off the ship just now, we have lost the channel to contact the other party.
What's more, now he doesn't have time to worry.
It was now 11:33, three minutes past the scheduled action time. No matter what they chose, they had to make a decision immediately.
"Map!" Jiuyou suddenly said.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and someone immediately sent a topographic map of the imperial capital.
Jiuyou spread the map on the table, quickly scanned the map, and quickly selected a location.
In fact, they have held special meetings to study this map many times recently, and most of the places are already familiar by heart. At this time, they just wanted to determine a specific location.
"Change the landing point and land here!"
Everyone looked at the location pointed by Jiuyou.
It was a mountain forest not far from the Guards Camp, and it was an uninhabited area.
"After landing, send people into the military camp first, get close to the Arcane Tower to find out the reality. If it is true, attack it from the outside in, and then follow the previous tower-breaking tactics." Jiuyou announced his decision.
"Guild Master Jiuyou, I must remind you, this is very likely to miss the opportunity to break the tower!" Yakov frowned, this action is safe, but it will increase the difficulty of breaking the tower out of thin air, and penetrate from the outside in. And directly breaking the tower from close range are two completely different levels of difficulty.
If the original plan had a 90% chance of successfully breaking down the tower, after doing this, it only had less than 20% chance!
"If the Arcane Tower is real and the promotion fails, I am fully responsible." Jiuyou looked at everyone and said calmly.
"Alas..." After hearing Jiuyou's statement, Yakov sighed and said nothing more.
The others had no objections and immediately started taking action.
"The fog of war!"
Jiuyou shouted, and everyone quickly gathered in the center of the hall. One of them used a consumable item in his hand, and everyone was suddenly covered with a layer of gray mist.
"Set off!"
The next moment, everyone rushed to the arched door, rushed out of the door one after another, stepped on the floating rocks hidden among the clouds in the other world outside the door, and then jumped thousands of meters into the air.
Except for two people who were left on the floating rocks as support, the other ninety-eight people all went for a high-altitude bungee jump.
Landing from an altitude of 10,000 meters requires more than three minutes due to resistance, so there is enough time to adjust the landing point.
They descended all the way, and when they were about to land, everyone showed off their magical powers, including slow falling, floating, flying... various spells, and finally they all landed safely and accurately in the predetermined mountain forest.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the location they chose now coincides with the hiding spot Mu You chose just now. Of course, Mu You has already left the scene and has not been able to meet the large army.
After landing, everyone looked at the military camp and tower in the distance.
"Morning Star, use your relic to mark Xi Feng and ask Xi Feng to go over and explore the situation." Jiuyou arranged the task.
Morning Star and West Wind are both members of the Dragon Group. Morning Star's relic is called the 'Locator'. When used on a nearby target, no matter what state the target is in, how far away it is, whether alive or dead, the target will be forced to return to the target after ten seconds. position when marked.
West Wind is the member with the highest agility and fastest speed in the dragon group. He also has a 'Great Transfer' magic that can be transferred to any location within one to five kilometers ahead.
The combined abilities of the two of them can instantly detect the situation of the arcane tower in the distance while ensuring safety.
"good."
The two people named had no objections and immediately started taking action.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chenxing took out a compass and used it on West Wind. At the same time, West Wind faced the direction of the Arcane Tower, estimated the distance in his mind, and then waved his wand, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.
Ten seconds flew by.
Ten seconds later, Chenxing's figure appeared out of thin air again. Everyone was surprised to find that his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and there were bursts of green mist all over his body. It was obvious that he was poisoned and his life was... The halo has turned black, and is still losing vitality under the influence of toxins.
"Quick, treat!"
The healers in the team took action immediately, adding medical and dispersal spells to West Wind, quickly bringing his health back.
"Holy shit, it's really a trap!" Xifeng couldn't wait to announce the news while receiving treatment.
"You mean the Arcane Tower is fake?" Jiuyou hurriedly confirmed.
"Yeah, it's definitely fake. I slashed it with my knife, and the tower was like paper. I cut a big gap directly. The real arcane tower can't be so fragile! And the surface of the tower seems to be blessed by something. There was a curse, and when I struck with the sword, I received ten times the damage in return, and was also hit with a row of negative statuses!"
There was still a trace of fear on Xifeng's face: "This includes the teleportation seal. If it weren't for Chenxing's locator, I might not be able to come back!"
Others were surprised when they heard this, but also felt quite lucky: Fortunately, they didn't go in directly, otherwise, they might have replicated the tragedy that happened to the North American players some time ago.
It is said that during that action by the North American players, 40% of them stayed on the opposite side forever, and the others who came back were also seriously injured, with countless items and experience lost.
Yakov, who had previously advocated the original plan of action, was completely confused by this time.
Until Xifeng came back just now, he still firmly believed that the Arcane Tower was real, and still regretted that this action would be ruined by Jiuyou's indecision.
Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard in the face in the end!
Looking at the miserable situation when Xifeng first came back, he could already imagine what a tragic situation it would be now if everyone really continued to act according to his ideas.
By then, not to mention that the task of breaking the tower cannot be completed, I am afraid that most of them will have to answer here. By then, he will really become the sinner of both countries.
"how so?"
What was even more confused than Yakov was his subordinate who provided the intelligence. He still can't believe that the results he repeatedly confirmed after using hidden relics to conduct multiple investigations were actually fake? Is the level of forgery of wizards in the astral world already as high as this?
"Okay, this matter has been revealed. Everyone concentrates and starts the next phase of action now!"
Jiuyou did not pursue this matter too much to avoid affecting morale.
At this moment of race against time, others will naturally not hold on to it. In the previous investigation, the news that the fake arcane tower was attacked must have been passed on, and the Wizards Association may respond at any time.
Under the leadership of Jiuyou, a group of people braved the fog of war and rushed towards the wizard tower.
At the same time, Jiuyou also used a kind of magic to speak, and immediately passed the news to the personnel on the floating stone above. The response staff immediately sent the news back to the earth.
A minute later, all the elite players on the planet who participated in this operation accurately received a message on their mobile phones, explaining the situation of the real Arcane Tower inside the Wizard Tower and the change of the operation mission.
Not only that, just five minutes later, all domestic TV programs, as well as live broadcast rooms, news channels, etc. on major online platforms, all urgently inserted a banner news.
The title is a conspicuous eight characters: tower breaking mission, nationwide mobilization!
