Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 233 PLAN B
Since most of the disciples of the Ziwei Sect are at the Golden Core stage, the casualty ratio between the two sides is extremely high when facing a group of players at the Foundation Establishment stage. Often, seven or eight players die before one Ziwei Sect disciple can be wounded.

As for death, there wasn't a single one! Even the Thunder Bullet Rifle, which in theory could wreak havoc, had its "thunder bullets" blocked by the various magical artifacts and spirit weapons of the NPCs.

The disciples of the Ziwei Sect breathed a sigh of relief at the situation. After all, they had never seen a sect dare to attack them before. Although they didn't say it, they were still a little worried, fearing that the other side might really crush them with its strength.

However, what puzzled them was that the disciples of the Taiyin Sect, despite their repeated defeats, remained cheerful and showed no signs of frustration or dejection from being overwhelmed.

Just as the players of Chang'an Sheyi had lost more than half of their strength, Wang Ergou commanded in the group voice chat: "We can't kill them! These NPCs are too high level! Let's change our strategy! Let's go for PLAN B!"

"I've reorganized the teams! You guys go in groups, one group targeting one person, just grab them! Grab as many as you can! They only have a limited number of people anyway! If we grab enough, we'll win!"

This was a plan that had been discussed in the group long ago. Wang Ergou originally wanted to do it this way. After all, this was a real world, and even though most players didn't know that, he felt a little guilty about making them actually kill this and that.

But these "war criminals" actually thought that Wang Ergou's "kindness" was just womanly compassion, or that he was a coward! They even said that if he couldn't command, he should get down and let someone who could command take over! How could he tolerate that!? In order to prove that he wasn't a coward... no, in order to prove that he had superb and irreplaceable command skills, he could only let the players charge recklessly for a while.

Unexpectedly, these players were such noobs, so many of them rushed in, but they couldn't even kill a single enemy. Isn't that ridiculous?

As soon as Wang Ergou announced his strategic shift, the players started making sarcastic remarks.

"Alright! Dog Bro said it! Plan B!"

"Watch out! Although we didn't kill a single BOSS, we've really built up our momentum! The enemy is terrified and scared out of their wits! Let's do a few more waves! We'll definitely scare them to death!"

"Damn, that's terrifying! This self-manipulation ability is incredible!"

"Think of it this way: we're fighting a war of attrition. We're using our cheap lives to buy our brothers a precious opportunity to advance further! Ah! How great we are!"

"Sister, stop acting! I heard there are war correspondents recording it live. You'll be kicking yourself if you get on TV!"

Players accustomed to the mechanic of regular enemies not completely running away in other games couldn't help but complain: "Honestly, how can these bosses be so ridiculous? I even broke their barrier, and they still ran away! Can you believe they ran away?! How could they run away?!"

"Why can't they run away? Even wild boars in the Hundred Thousand Mountains know to run away if they can't beat them. It's perfectly normal for a cultivator to be unable to win!"

"That's such a waste of my mana! I've already used up all my mana!"

"Then lend me your Gatling gun, I still have plenty of mana, hehehe..."

"Get out of here! Go redeem it yourself!"

"Tch! Stingy!"

...Amidst a flurry of banter, and after Wang Ergou announced a strategic shift, a dramatic scene unfolded.

The Taiyin Sect disciples, who had been gathered together, scattered and huddled together, then formed groups of three or five, seven or eight, rushing towards the nearest Ziwei Sect disciple who had been targeted.

A disciple of the Ziwei Sect, who was gritting his teeth and rummaging through his Qiankun bag for pills, was targeted, and the players who were targeting him had very good reasons for it—

In the squad, the captain muttered into the squad mic, "I saw this kid take out pills several times and give them to other people, he must be a healer! To catch the thief, catch the leader first, and on the battlefield, take down the healer first! Everyone grab your weapons and charge! Let's tie this kid up!"

His teammates, their faces lighting up with excitement, took off running, shouting, "Charge! Charge! We'll definitely bring this male mother back to the Taiyin Sect!"

"I'm a body cultivator, I can take a beating. I'll draw your fire, you guys hide behind me, and when you get close, just tie me up! Understand?"

"Understood, understood! Sisters, we'll mourn for you! Go, Pikachu!"

Then, a female player with very well-developed muscles and arms thicker than a normal player's calves charged forward with a strange scream. She was hit by several spirit talismans in a row and was also slashed by a flying sword from some unknown sword cultivator. Her hand was almost severed at the root, with only a little skin and bone connecting it, which looked very frightening.

However, this physical cultivation player had clearly reduced all five senses to 0. Even when she was beaten down to a sliver of health, it didn't affect her ability to use her broad body to block damage for her teammates.

Only when she was left with a sliver of health, revealing a ferocious and perverse smile to the Danxiu Ziwei Sect disciple who was almost face to face with her, did the other players in her team rush out from behind the physical cultivator. Under the Danxiu's terrified gaze, they swarmed her, covering her mouth and tugging at her crotch. They even used various famous moves such as "hugging a girl to kill" and "strongman locking a man." After paying the price of three team members' deaths, they successfully tied the Danxiu back to the main group.

Subsequently, several players, together with the casual players who came to provide support, escorted the poor Danxiu back to the flying boat in Chang'an Sheyi.

With the success of the first one, more and more people followed suit. Although due to the caution of the Ziwei Sect disciples, players had to suffer more than a dozen casualties to capture an NPC, and sometimes the NPC would inexplicably turn the tables and escape, making all their efforts futile, the plan was still considered a success and gave the players hope.

Compared to the previous method of fighting hard for half a day without getting a single kill, capturing NPCs can actually earn more battlefield points. When the battle ends, the converted sect contribution points and sect prestige points will probably be even greater!

Before long, several NPCs were brought back one after another from the flying boat in Chang'an Sheyi. Most of them looked angry and terrified, and some even curled up into a ball, as if they had been injured in some unspeakable places...

With so many prisoners, managing them became difficult, and the players didn't want to spend all their time on the airship watching over them. Therefore, the auxiliary plan, PLAN B, which had been discussed in the group chat, was implemented.

"Hmph... Give me some!"

A player, carrying a bowl of bubbling, grayish-purple liquid, chuckled as he slowly approached an NPC prisoner who was being held captive by several players, his hands bound behind his back, forced to kneel, and his mouth stretched open, almost exposing his throat.

The NPC prisoner's face was filled with terror, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. After the large bowl of unknown liquid was poured into his stomach, the players seemed unconcerned that he had escaped. They simply threw him to the ground and turned to walk over to the next NPC prisoner.

One particularly dramatic player even twisted his wrist and laughed in a voice as eerie as that of Lady Shiji—
