Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 92 Kobold Camp (First Update!)

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the first rays of dawn were appearing.

Like diluted ink, it silently permeated the night sky of the small town.

The central square was rather empty in the early morning—of course, on Earth, they are generally called "threshing grounds"...

Here, however, it has a more practical use.

At this moment, a whole team of players from various regions arrived one after another.

Bloodstains, which had not yet been washed away, remained on the stone ground.

The villagers who did this job didn't have the patience to be picky—they just rinsed it with a few buckets of muddy water and that was it…

Most of the surrounding stalls were empty.

They may have noticed the large number of strangers gathering there.

Not many vendors are willing to take the risk.

The guards watched the group of strangers with a hint of wariness.

Despite everyone's efforts, the team's town reputation has reached Friendly.

Even in the peaceful servers of Earth Online:

The inexplicable gathering of a group of burly men is always a chilling thing for local authorities...

Moreover, even in the extraordinary dimensions.

These strangers are not just ordinary "strong men" in the material world...

The slightly tense atmosphere continued until Ian Perra and the mayor walked over together.

Despite numerous unexpected issues, the progress has been much faster than originally planned.

Now, it's time to tackle the tough challenges...

"Look over there..."

The mayor, who looked a little old but was still in good health, pointed in a certain direction.

Following his direction:
All Ian-Perra could see was a jumbled mess of farmhouses.

"It lingered there, like a festering sore on the spine of the wilderness."

"It's been too long..."

The mayor gripped his longsword.

In this desolate town teeming with monsters—the power of the mortal world is inevitably overridden by the power of the supernatural.

The edge of a sword brings loyalty, fame, and obedience...

“You have proven your resolve and courage to me—to this small town…”

"Just as I said."

He glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar faces before settling on the men summoned by the bell:
"Now, the time has come for us to be willing to pay the price in blood once again..."

"Chong"

The longsword was suddenly drawn.

In this desolate town, the mornings are often chilly.

The sword blade had been carefully rubbed again and again, so much so that it still retained a little warmth.

A thin layer of mist quickly enveloped it:

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The guards responded with their own raised swords...

"Network Team Notification: The Crimson Challenge event - Sarastrella's Kobold Minions has been activated..."

…………

…………

"Your Excellency, Knight."

A young soldier called out to Yi Qingfeng, who was walking at the front of the column, with a hint of awe.

They are currently en route to the kobold camp.

That area is also the outer perimeter of the dragon's lair.

The team was then divided into 5 smaller teams.

In fact, there were originally only 4 teams:
But the regimental commander assigned him to lead a squad of soldiers alone:
Currently, he is the only one who has satisfied the prestige required to lead soldiers.

Considering that this can increase the final settlement benefits for both the team and Yi Qingfeng personally, and the strength that Yi Qingfeng has demonstrated so far.

The group leader simply waved his hand and made the arrangements.

Of the remaining four teams, one consisted of logistics and support personnel who assisted from the perimeter.

The other three teams each had a melee-focused cross-server player.

Even with the addition of soldiers and other friendly units, it's still just a battle involving hundreds of combat units.

But simply rushing in and attacking indiscriminately is clearly not a good strategy, especially since there's no ally damage shielding.

The scene of the battle was undoubtedly too chaotic.

Although, to be honest—Yi Qingfeng thought it was pretty cool...

It's said that the guild leader is already researching how to implement ally damage shielding.

With this effect, chopping will undoubtedly be much more efficient...

Yi Qingfeng has no idea whether or not to join the fray.

However, if you join a group...

Yi Qingfeng felt that being in this kind of group was quite worry-free.

Of course, it would be even more awesome if you could just enter and kill the leader right away...

"Ok?"

Yi Qingfeng stopped and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

The other person didn't look like a veteran.

Despite being covered in a suit of armor that fit perfectly.

However, his skin, which was distinctly different from that of the surrounding soldiers, proved that he was not from a farming family.

These foreign humans, appearing before him in vibrant form.

At this moment, Yi Qingfeng still felt a bit of curiosity.

Of course, he is not good at negotiation.

Moreover, these soldiers seemed to harbor some fear of him...

"Lord Antovenport sent me with his greetings and the arrangements for the battle."

Antovenport—the town's garrison commander.

He is also the strongest warrior besides the town mayor.

Yi Qingfeng had never met him.

But as he advanced, he overheard the soldiers behind him chatting and mentioning:
The other person was a tough guy with such good teeth that he could eat hardened black bread raw...

"He will launch the first attack from the northwest."

"If you have no objections: after he launches his attack, he hopes that you can lead your soldiers to launch a surprise attack from the flank."

Facing Yi Qingfeng's gaze, which was tinged with a crimson hue under the light, the young soldier nervously finished recounting the intelligence.

Yi Qingfeng nodded.

He doesn't know anything about tactics...

In terms of strategy, we can perhaps still offer some theoretical advice.

As for the specific battle arrangements?
Maintaining a safe distance between himself and the soldiers behind him was the only thing Yi Qingfeng could think of at the moment.

After all, even in the video game Earth Online, he wasn't good at controlling multiple units in combat.

Moreover, the physical world doesn't offer the convenience of controlling combat units in real time with a click of a mouse...

Of course, it's hard to say:

It's possible that there exist crossover players with corresponding traits and extraordinary professions who have biased command abilities.

Upon hearing this, the young soldier left with a sense of relief.

He was the team's communications officer.

They are able to collect and transmit information through a domesticated bird similar to a pigeon.

In contrast:
Ian Perra would be much more convenient.

He issues commands to the team from time to time.

The general direction is basically fine.

As stated in the preface:

In most cases, no one can completely control an individual's will, let alone these highly individualistic online gamers...

There are some minor discrepancies, but we can just turn a blind eye to them...

Yi Qingfeng felt a little regretful that he wasn't on another team.

I didn't see that lively scene...

However, these trivial thoughts soon dissipated as the kobold tribe drew near.

An invisible fighting spirit seemed to permeate the air.

Yi Qingfeng smelled the scent of blood and fire...

It's time to end this—that's what Yi Qingfeng thought.

It was at this time that:
Accompanied by a distant roar:
The battle is about to break out!
