[ Mules and Horses Drive the Sun ]: "So you just died like that?"
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ]: "What else? Try getting hit by a grape while you're flying at low altitude. Don't even mention me, I don't believe anyone can withstand it."
"This must be something symbiotic plants do, right? Did you make sure you could tell what type of plant it is?"
"I didn't expect it at the time, but after searching after death, I found that what corresponds to the real world is probably... balsam flowers. Damn it, these things are clearly cute, how did they become grape cannons in this World of Disorder?"
"No one can say for sure in this world, but this is still valuable information. At least it will increase the production of Ironwood Shields in Valhalla, which I believe will be needed soon."
"That makes sense, buddy. But my body's been rebuilt, so I'm logging on now. See you in Black Locust Town sometime."
OK.
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] closed the chat interface with her friend, looked at the body in front of her whose rebirth progress had reached 100%, and clicked on consciousness transfer.
As light entered his eyes, the loyal Soul Returner of the World of Disorder finally returned to Black Locust Town.
The ace pilot, who was intercepted by anti-aircraft guns, was not blinded by hatred. Instead, he rationally listed what he should do.
He first went to the Adventurers' Guild in Black Locust Town and was granted the privilege of a private meeting with a Pure Ones One squad leader.
In a small room for a one-on-one meeting, [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] recounted in detail the intelligence she had gathered at great personal risk to the squad leader in front of her.
The Pure Ones meticulously recorded everything he said and even questioned him about several unclear points.
With the final stroke, the squad leader flicked the paper in his hand and summarized:
"A reinforcement force is arriving in the southern part of Fir City. They are expected to enter the Fir City within a day, numbering over a thousand, all of them fully armed Holy Crusaders... Is that alright?"
"No problem."
"Alright, esteemed Soul Returner, the information you provided is far more important than we imagined. Please leave your name here, and we will distribute the corresponding reward after confirming the value of the information."
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] was very satisfied with the attitude of this Holy Crusaders Pure Ones. He signed his game ID at the bottom of the record sheet and then left the Adventurers' Guild to start choosing his equipment again. The squad leader quickly reported the news to his superior, Nuolun, and the Son of God Child.
Valhalla, the ancient castle.
Upon hearing this news, Ed subconsciously raised an eyebrow. Antiya Lisi actually had reinforcements?
Although this information was somewhat unexpected, it is quite reasonable according to normal logical thinking.
Antiya Lisi is the highest-ranking member of the Stained Ones faction of the Tree Worship Church in the Aduolin Province. As long as he lives, the Aduolin Province will remain under the control of the Stained Ones in terms of power.
Although this is only the poorest province in the northern part of the Tree Worship Church, it is not something that can be given away casually.
It seems the battle I anticipated is about to escalate to an even higher level...
Thinking of this, Ed recalled the three expectations he had made for the next stage some time ago: to find out as much as possible about the situation in all areas of Fir City, to get as many citizens out of the city as possible, and to find out the combat strength and combat characteristics of the Fir City leadership.
The first rule has been largely completed under the guidance of several aviation enthusiasts, led by [Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows], but the second and third rules remain unfulfilled.
The second tunnel, which is tied to the " New Wine in Old Bottles " plan, has not made significant progress recently. Winter has brought solid permafrost to the entire Aduolin Province, and the tunnel digging speed of [ Zhong Lele ] and others is not fast.
The third point saw almost no progress, because the high-ranking officials of the Aduolin Province, namely the Grand Knights of the Holy Crusaders Knight Order and Antiya Lisi, were not figures that the players could easily withstand.
To understand an opponent's preferred attack style, you need to exchange a few blows with them. What happens if you get instantly defeated right away?
With things having come to this point, Ed had no choice but to take a two-pronged approach: he planned to work on the prisoners on Motley's side, extracting relevant information from their confessions to prevent the Soul Returner from wandering around aimlessly like headless flies during the final battle.
After figuring things out, Ed began editing the new update announcement, and a few minutes later, a new flashing red dot appeared at the edge of the players' field of vision:
[ World of Disorder Update Announcement:]
Dear Soul Returner, the first phase of the large-scale long-running quest " The Great Adventurer," titled " Fir City Operation," has been open for some time now. We've felt the enthusiasm of our Soul Returner for participating in the event and understand your love for this high-risk, high-reward gameplay mode. Based on Soul Returner performance and feedback, and to provide you with an even better gaming experience, the development team has updated the following content:
1. Map experience optimization:
As waves of brave and fearless Soul Returner continue to explore Fir City, the aerial map of Fir City has now been fully unlocked. After this update, except for some core areas of Fir City, players can actively view the map of most areas in the game system when they are active.
For certain complex core buildings, the Adventurers' Guild will increase the acquisition price for information on their internal structure, welcoming brave Soul Returner to continue exploring more unknown corners of Fir City.
Note: Some core areas of Fir City refer to: the Twin Towers Cathedral in the center of Fir City, the Single Bell Tower Chapel in the south district, the North Military Camp, the West Military Camp, and the Southeast Military Camp. There is usually at least one BOSS-level unit in the Soul Returner areas, so please be careful when exploring.
2. Optimized entry and evacuation methods:
A single game mode is not something we'd like to see. In the past period, in addition to the official entry and evacuation methods, we've also been happy to see players develop other ways to enter and evacuate the city. This information will be available in the " World of Disorder " official website's encyclopedia section on the first phase of the third large-scale long-term quest. This encyclopedia will be updated periodically, so players are welcome to check it out at any time.
The current entry and exit methods are as follows:
Soldier Bee and withdraw – Position: Enter at random location, withdraw at any location; Note: The signal baton must be broken at least 15 minutes in advance for withdrawal, otherwise there may be a delay in the rendezvous.
River diving entry and evacuation -- Location: River entrance near the city wall in the northern part of Fir City; Note: When using this location for evacuation, consider your physical condition and load capacity, as the evacuation is against the current, and there is a possibility of failure.
Underground passage for entry and exit -- Location: Western part of Fir City, near the city wall, in a residential area with red walls and gray roofs (inside); Note: This location is currently under construction, and the opening time is yet to be determined.
