"Magic is great because of you" - Slogan for the open beta of Dark Eldar

Level 2 map Kevin Garni, Wetland Park (59549). Within the defeated Dark Legion, the "Critical Strike Group" is being recruited again. The new leader is Ludar (level 70), who possesses the initial talent "Military".

During his free time while playing with a team, Ludar deliberately leveled up significantly. For a "skilled" solo hero like him, forgetting to level up is a common occurrence. (Note: In the enclosed environment of the second-tier map, there is a "lag" between levels and the main map. Once the 30th version of the Otherworld is stable, the shop will indirectly sell excess "experience orbs" and "unlock keys" from the Otherworld to clear inventory. Purchasing is not mandatory in the second-tier map, but when other players around you are spending money, the difference in level, combat power, and the difference between heroes who haven't spent money and those who haven't is quite significant... This generally doesn't occur in the main map because only IDs with spending power are logged in there. The lag in the second-tier or third-tier maps has a reason. Otherwise, the maps wouldn't have such hierarchical "labels." Special note: This isn't to emphasize how superior the main map is; it's simply a matter of corresponding consumption. Otherwise, offline "inflation" would make it impossible for wealthy people to afford exorbitant prices? Bitcoin? Money? Would become less valuable than virtual gold coins, and then there would truly be "chaos"...)

The meticulous and calculating Ludall carefully counted the number of people. He had mixed feelings at that moment. He hadn't seen Lord Dac for several days.

"Without Lord Dark's approval, things are really not looking good," Ludar muttered to himself deliberately on the training ground. (DJ music turned off)

Unfortunately, the elemental villain commander "Dark" refused to show himself. He deliberately remained highly concealed, unwilling to dwell on failure or witness the process. Dark spent his days alone running various dungeons in the Wetland Park. Slaying monsters? Dark wasn't interested; he didn't even pick up the loot, silver coins, or copper coins. With his proud nature, he wouldn't easily stoop to such things.

Dark is aloof and arrogant. Although his race is elemental, Dark possesses exceptional talent; he was once an "envoy" of the Dark Legion from another world. His growth and the speed at which he acquired various military ranks have garnered him a large following (FANS). Perhaps "Order" is trying to make Dark even stronger? Or perhaps it's to make way for the "Dark Elf Race" at levels 29 and 30? In short, if the Dark Elf Race doesn't come, given Dark's talent and good fortune, it's highly probable that he will become a major rebel and a general of the Dark Legion. (Note: "Optimization" is always random; "Order" cannot arbitrarily change the "plot," especially the main storyline. If it were changed arbitrarily, the online "experience" would decline, and the game's popularity would drop. The AI ​​would never choose a "loss-making" approach. They seem to understand "maintaining the status quo" better than humans...)

The name "Critical Strike Squad" sounds impressive. Fortunately, the lineup was optimized; some heroes that normally seem powerful were omitted by Ludar. His selection was based entirely on "overall attributes." He avoided overly tanky Orc heroes. To better complete the high-level quest (difficulty: five stars; quest name: "A Battle for Life and Death!"), Ludar disregarded "face" in forming this "Critical Strike Squad." He only selected a few truly capable and hardworking heroes (Kent City natives) for the Werewolf faction. As for the Orcs, Ludar didn't particularly like them, so he didn't send them any invitations. (This includes personal feelings; in terms of combat power, Orcs are capable. Perhaps the level 2 map allows for "flaws," making it seem more "realistic"?)

After days of rehearsals, this 40-man elite squad—would you expect them to serve as high-level commanders and strategists for a small group like Ludar's? Their formation and tactics wouldn't require much "adjustment." However, Ludar himself placed particular emphasis on this campaign! He recruited almost entirely his trusted confidants. Among them were several eloquent "wise men," such as the vice-commander—"Markars"! (A tenacious human spiritual leader; a professional mage; level 51)

War is imminent! Besides frantically training everyone, Ludar has also done a lot of "preparatory work" (optional). He's basically using individual conversations to assess their strengths... He knows that to achieve better teamwork and quickly defeat the Demon King "Rhodes," the obstacle to the Oni race, they must find his weaknesses! And before finding weaknesses, Ludar is first looking for his own "strengths"?

Ludall once considered using a combination of "excitement" background music and "drug use," activating Ctrl+A for a forced attack. However, due to the high casualties associated with this tactic, the "merciful" Ludall refrained from using it. Perhaps he was saving it for a truly critical moment of "crisis"? Or perhaps he never would.

Within the new "Critical Hit Squad," during the reconnaissance process, did the Enchantress somewhat understand Ludar's predicament? The ancient slang term "big boobs, no brains" might be used to describe a succubus like the Enchantress. She completely failed to grasp the current crisis situation of her new team, naively thinking that she could just play around, gain experience, and then return to the "Princess Girl Group"?

Ludar was prepared for the seductive woman's presence. He didn't have high hopes for her, but considering her consistently high level of loyalty, he still brought her into the picture.

"Let him just muddle along! As long as he doesn't cause trouble," Ludar thought.

The deputy leader, the human spiritual leader "Markus," understood perfectly. That night, he prepared to "put it on"!

Markarth (level 51), wielding the "Scout's Staff" (blue), ventures alone into Boroldo (59443) late at night. (Mount: Wildebeest, white, non-rare, available in shops; 1G)

This terrified the raid leader, Ludar, who waited anxiously at the edge of the wetland park, fearing that the agitated old mage Markars might be killed. However...

In the smoky, fiery environment, Markarus unexpectedly encountered the Oni Destroyer "Rhodes" (BOSS), and he was seen sitting around a fireplace with several of their elite commanders, chatting, drinking, smoking, and mingling together?

The next day, at the border, shrouded in mist, the hero Markarus returned to the city.

"It was a false alarm!"

Ludar personally greeted Markus and hosted a welcome banquet for him! As for what he and the Oni Rhodes discussed? Ludar guessed it might have been something like "casual conversation" or "discussing life"? As for the rest, even Ludar could only speculate...
