Immediately afterwards, several new lines of system prompts appeared in Zhao Haiping's field of vision.
[Evaluation of clearance: Those who achieve great things will always have the Three Treasures. The first is to persevere despite all setbacks, the second is to be wealthy and honorable, and the third is to remain true to one's original intention. If you have one, you can cultivate your character and manage your family; if you have two, you can stabilize the country; if you have three, you can leave a name in history. One person, Sheng Taizu, had both, so he could reshape the sun and the moon, rebuild rivers and mountains, and become an emperor for the ages! 】
Chu Ge, Lu Heng and Huo Yunying also saw the clearance evaluation.
"It's amazing. Each identity has a different evaluation."
"This evaluation seems to be a general evaluation."
"It seems that the official also thinks that the status of 'Commander' is the most difficult part? Is it the status that best represents Sheng Taizu? Or is it that no matter which status is passed in the end, this general evaluation will be given?"
"Quick, Chu Ge, it's time for you to perform, representative of the Chinese class!"
Under the urging of everyone, Chu Ge had no choice but to stand up in front of others and explain it.
He pondered for a moment and explained:
"There is no doubt that this is a general comment on Sheng Taizu.
"This trial illusion splits Sheng Taizu's identity into four types: 'beggar', 'rebel', 'commander' and 'emperor', allowing players to form teams to pass the level. It can be said to be quite humane.
“Looking back and thinking about it now, if I had to clear the level alone, I’m afraid the time it would take to complete the level would definitely not be extended by just four times.
“It can only be said that the achievements achieved by Sheng Taizu alone have exceeded the limits of the players, so the officials had to split the challenges.
"As for this evaluation, I think it is just right when it comes to Sheng Taizu.
"Those who achieve great things will always have the Three Treasures. This seems to be a quote from the Tao Te Ching, but the content has completely changed.
"Perseverance in one day refers to the entire process of Sheng Taizu from beggar to rebel, conquering the world.
"He was born at the bottom of society in troubled times and has seen too many hardships, but he never complained about others or gave up on himself, but persevered bit by bit.
"For ordinary people, it is not easy to rise to a higher level after working hard. But he was able to go from the bottom to the top, and even did something that no emperor could do in the previous hundreds of years. The thing, I have to say, is indeed a miracle.
"Secondly, wealth and honor are not obscene. Of course, this refers to the period of his life from the middle and late stages of the rebellion until he became emperor.
"Too many peasant rebel armies expanded like fire in the early stages, but soon fell into chaos. They were either divided internally, indulged in enjoyment, or did not want to make progress, and eventually they all fell into ruin.
"Even those former emperors who had a lot of resources often settled in a corner and did not want to make progress.
"But Sheng Taizu has never been like this. Although he was born in the rebel army, he knew exactly what he wanted to do every step he took. Therefore, wealth could not change his mind, and temporary success did not stop him.
“Like a warrior, he kept opening up territories for Dasheng Dynasty until his life reached its limit.
“As for the third point, not forgetting the original intention is different from being wealthy and not being promiscuous.
"Even when he has reached the pinnacle of his achievements, he has not forgotten his former identity as a farmer. He does not call himself 'I' all the time, but often calls himself 'we' like farmers, and he does not care about his origins. And cover it up. He acted more simply than other emperors, and even specially formulated laws so that oppressed peasants could go to Beijing to complain...
“Although many of his attempts were unsuccessful, and ultimately lost to people’s hearts and the law of historical cycles, just by not forgetting his original intention, he is worthy of being a true warrior!
"So, as long as you can do one of these three points, you can cultivate yourself, run your family, and be an upright person; and if you can do two of them, you can stabilize the country and make a career; if you can do all three, it is true. Rare in the ages!"
After saying these words, Chu Ge couldn't help but look in the direction of Taizu Sheng.
At this time, Zhao Haiping has left the possessed Sheng Taizu, and the players have entered the perspective of God, suspended in mid-air.
At this time, the entire scene has been frozen.
Taizu Sheng stabbed Mahali to death on the hillside, while the high-spirited Sheng army was chasing the fleeing Northern Barbarian cavalry.
And under the setting sun, the back of Sheng Taizu is very fascinating.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone.
The setting sun on the horizon was originally a brilliant golden color with its afterglow, but at this time, it seemed to be shrouded in black mist and turned into a black sun.
Boundless black mist spread from afar, shrouding the entire land in shadow.
And in the distant void, there seems to be huge space-time turbulence.
Those frozen Northern Barbarian cavalry were all like dust in a slice of history, shattered, collapsed, and blown away by the wind.
As for the officers and soldiers of the Sheng Army, their bodies began to glow with a pale golden glow and gradually disappeared.
The area around Sheng Taizu seemed to be illuminated by a golden spotlight on the stage, and an extremely powerful, golden-colored aura of righteousness soared into the sky, straight into the sky.
This majestic righteousness even broke through the dark clouds in the sky and merged with a huge slice of history in the void in the distance!
Just like a key inserted into a lock cylinder and turned gently, a mysterious connection is established instantly!
Zhao Haiping and everyone were a little confused.
"What's happening here?"
"Isn't it different from the previous process of clearing the Trial Illusion?"
"It was mentioned in the official update announcement of "Dark Sand" that the new copy does not have the final trial link. As long as you clear the trial illusion, it will be the 'Order Expedition' directly. Could it be said..."
"Want to start a national war directly??"
The four people had this speculation, but they had no idea how the national war would start, and they were not mentally prepared.
When the last dungeon passed the final trial, the Fortress of the Orderer came directly from the sky and naturally integrated with the entire historical slice.
But this time, there was no sign of the Fortress of the Orderer at all.
Instead, it was like being surrounded by powerful demons in this slice of history.
Although they know that this is just a game and they will most likely be able to pass it in the end, they still feel uneasy.
…
They didn't know that system prompts had already appeared in other players' vision at this time.
[A team of players has successfully passed the level! 】
[The Orderer Expedition gameplay has been started. Do you want to accept the call immediately and enter the historical slice to fight side by side with other Orderers to fight against the monsters? 】
When Li Hongyun saw this line of prompts, he immediately stamped his feet in anger.
When his soul was watching the battle, this action seemed even more comical.
“Damn! I’ve cleared the level in less than three days! It’s cheating, right?
"Damn it, it's still a bit worse after all..."
Of course, Li Hongyun was upset for a reason.
After forming a team, he volunteered to play the role of the "beggar" who was least popular among players. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise that the process of clearing the level was incredibly simple.
In fact, he did nothing, just worked as a tenant farmer to herd cattle for the landlord, and then inexplicably joined the rebel army in the middle, and passed the test as a "beggar".
Afterwards, Li Hongyun was overjoyed and confident, and immediately went to see other teammates.
It's just that things didn't go so well for his teammates.
Under Li Hongyun's command, other people's clearance progress was somewhat disrupted.
After all, Ou Huang can play by himself, but once he orders others, something will go wrong.
The European Emperor's method of customs clearance is generally not applicable to other people.
Therefore, in this kind of team play, he still lost to Chu Ge.
But it’s a game after all, and teammates can’t blame each other. Now that the first pass has been released, let’s go and see how the Orderer expedition went.
Soon, other players agreed, and their bodies turned into flowing light and were transported to this unknown battlefield.
…
In the chaotic flow of time and space, Meng Yuan and Shenshang watched streams of light flash past in front of them, falling towards the huge slice of history that was chosen as the target.
After the quotas for the last closed beta continued to be distributed, the number of players who can participate in the Orderer Expedition gameplay has also greatly increased, reaching nearly 60,000!
And now, he smashed all 60,000 people into that historical slice.
However, the Fortress of the Orderer cannot be blocked.
There was a slightly worried expression on the merchant's face: "This strategy is still a bit risky.
"Although conventional cracking methods take a long time, they are relatively more reliable. The current method is faster, but the risk of failure is also greatly increased."
Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "As I said before, I believe in the players.
“You know, among the 60,000 people, nearly 10,000 have passed the cavalry trial so far.
“So I think the time has come for a decisive battle with this historical monster.
"If it continues to be delayed, it might take another week or two, or even longer. Soldiers need to be very quick.
"After all... the simulation trial can split the identity, but if you want to really crack this historical slice, you have to play the role of Taizu Sheng to solve all the problems, and you must be 100% pain-free to fail...
“This is too difficult.
"In this case, it's better to just bypass this rule and find another way."
The consultant nodded and said nothing more.
She also had to admit that although Meng Yuan's style of play was risky, the benefits after success were indeed very high.
This historical slice locks the history of the entire Dasheng Dynasty in all stages.
Breaking through this historical slice means that the sequencer can directly and significantly advance the progress of the entire historical slice, skipping the stage of Shenzhou's land sinking, and directly come to the more distant Qi Dynasty; it also means that in the history of the Dasheng Dynasty, , all the big demons in the historical slices have been eliminated, and the ordinary demons entrenched in other historical slices will be easily solved.
In other words, the slice where Sheng Taizu is located is like a military center or critical checkpoint in a certain area.
After defeating it, it will be easy to move forward or clean up the mess around it. The initiative can be in your own hands.
According to the original route, the players should have been selected through a simulated trial first, then allowed to enter this historical slice to play and correct, and finally carry out the Orderer expedition.
But this historical slice is different from other historical slices.
Because of the existence of Sheng Taizu.
Sheng Taizu is different from ordinary heroes, and he can also be regarded as an anchor.
Some positive figures who have left their names in history, such as General Deng Yuanjing, have their own awe-inspiring righteousness, so it is difficult for demons to tamper with them.
What Sheng Taizu brought with him was not ordinary Haoran righteousness, but a limited and enhanced version of it, similar to kingly qi or dynasty luck.
More difficult to tamper with than ordinary historical figures.
Therefore, the demon can only tamper with the environment around Sheng Taizu and create some confusion.
In addition, this kind of royal aura also has a special effect, that is, the luck of the entire dynasty will naturally condense around him.
Taking advantage of this, Meng Yuan could use Sheng Taizu's Wang Qi as the anchor point to directly throw in the players who were allocated the power of the Orderer without breaking open the defense of the entire historical slice!
Of course, the Fortress of the Orderer will not work.
Because the Fortress of the Orderer is currently on a separate historical slice, and because the barriers of this historical slice have not been completely breached, the two historical slices cannot be connected.
We can only rely on the players' own combat power to eliminate the monsters in this slice of history.
This itself has certain risks. If it fails, although all efforts will not be wasted and there will be a chance to start over again, the waste and consumption of the power of the orderer will be unbearable.
But if it works...
It can make the progress of the orderers in the river of history a lot further forward!
…
Rays of light fell to the ground.
The players looked at each other, and they were all very unfamiliar with the scene in front of them.
Because at present, most teams have not reached this point yet.
Players who play other roles have never been to Mobei, and even players who play the role of "Commander" have not reached here yet due to the high difficulty of personally conquering the city.
Some are still stuck in the battle before exiting the border, while others are eating sand on the road and haven't found Mahali's hiding place at all.
But now, they are standing in the Woodlands Tulash Mountain, on the land where Taizu Sheng defeated the Northern Barbarians Mahali.
"Is this going to start the Orderer expedition directly? It's too fast, I'm not even ready yet!"
"Yes, although I had known that the final trial would be cancelled, it was too soon..."
"Hurry up! Stop engaging in those petty fights and go straight to the group fight with the monsters!"
"Wait, where is the Fortress of the Orderer? It doesn't seem like it's here?"
"There is absolutely no danger to defend here? There is no city wall?"
"Look over there...how many Northern Barbarian cavalry are there..."
The players who had just been summoned were quite relaxed at first, thinking that this was just like the previous expedition of the Orderers, just a simple formality. However, after taking a closer look at the surrounding situation, they realized that they had thought too simplistically. .
The situation this time is completely different from the previous expedition of the Orderers!
During the last Orderer expedition, players had already experienced the terror of the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
If the players had not been blocked by the dangerous terrain of the Fortress of the Order, if they had put the players on the plains to confront the Northern Barbarian cavalry, they would probably have been killed in just a few encounters, causing them to flee and be completely defeated.
But now, players don't have the dangerous terrain of the Orderer's Fortress, there isn't even a section of the city wall!
There was only windy sand and long, yellow grass.
This is Beiman’s home field!
Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping, who had been serving as commanders, looked at each other, both a little panicked.
Because under the dark sky in the distance, the Northern Barbarian cavalry had already appeared.
The mountains and plains are endless.
The elite armored cavalry led by Mahali previously numbered 30,000, with a total strength of around 100,000. They had already caused great trouble to the players and Sheng Taizu, and the outcome was only a matter of millimeters.
Now, although the Northern Barbarian cavalry controlled by the demon are smaller, their combat effectiveness is not necessarily weak!
Because the cavalry controlled by the demon itself has a strong fighting spirit and anti-strike ability. Compared with the real Northern Barbarian cavalry in history, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is unknown. How much stronger is the individual combat capability.
As for our own strength, there are only nearly 60,000 players instead of the 100,000 elite troops brought out by Sheng Taizu at that time.
Even taking into account the one chance of resurrection that each person has, the strength of both sides is only balanced.
The players had already experienced the terror of the Northern Barbarian heavy cavalry before, and now they were naturally full of anxiety about how to fight this battle.
Chu Ge hurriedly shouted: "How many players have passed the cavalry trial? Mount your horse!"
After giving the order, many players took out the riding whip props they had obtained and mounted their horses.
Of the nearly 60,000 players, about 10,000 are in their early teens.
The war horses under their crotches appear out of thin air, as long as there are no other players or obstructive objects in the vicinity.
The coat colors of these war horses vary, depending on the player's preference, and the appearance can be changed by themselves.
The men and horses were all wearing battle armor, and the necessary equipment such as high bridge saddles and stirrups were also available.
The other players looked at these people with envy in their eyes.
I have a horse!
Many players even went over and carefully touched the horses, feeling the tough muscles and fine hair on the horses' necks, which they found very interesting.
Others lamented that the cavalry trial was really interesting. After clearing the dungeon, not only was the horse given, but the horse was also given a full set of equipment. He became more determined to pass the cavalry trial in the future.
Seeing this ratio, Chu Ge felt a little more at ease.
Higher than he imagined!
It turns out that about one-sixth of the players have cleared the Cavalry Trial in eight or nine days, which is indeed good news.
Zhao Haiping was the first to pass the customs, which took more than seven days. But in the previous seven days, other players were also busy, and they were all obsessed with this trial copy, so after the clearance video was released, these people quickly made breakthroughs.
Facing the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the wilderness, if they can't even get together 10,000 heavy cavalry, then I'm afraid they really have to send it.
But now, with these 10,000 heavy cavalry, we can still fight.
Of course, it is still very difficult.
Both Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping felt a lot of pressure.
But at this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd.
"Where is this place? Who are you?...Where have my army gone?"
Players turned around one after another and discovered that Sheng Taizu, who had been in a frozen state before and seemed to be a statue with a highlight effect in a historical slice, started to move.
He was still riding a war horse, wearing golden armor and holding a spear. He glanced at the players with a confused expression in his eyes.
Sheng Taizu's body still has the "highlighting" effect brought by the king's energy, which is gradually spreading and diluting, and finally naturally dispersed to every player.
Obviously, Taizu Sheng was confused at this time.
Appearing in Mobei inexplicably, all the soldiers around him disappeared. Instead, there were many people chirping and behaving strangely. What was even more terrible was that the northern barbarian cavalry in the distance was gathering like black clouds over the city.
As for the players, they were also a little confused.
"...Is there an NPC to help this time?"
"I remember that the heroic spirit summoning function was turned on before?"
"But we didn't unlock General Deng Yuanjing until the end before? Can we release General Deng Yuanjing now to help?"
Chu Ge and Zhao Haiping looked at each other and made guesses at the same time.
"Could it be that... we don't need to command this expedition of the Orderers?
"Isn't that...
"marvelous!"
