Chapter 803: The Enemy of All People
Kai Xin turned around and asked Yin Hu to gather everyone together.
After a rough count, there were already over twenty top experts from the Mu family who had arrived—masters like Bao Long, Dao Zi, Lei Zhan, Mo Mo, Feng Zhi, and Xiao Bei, all with exceptional skills. There were also over five hundred skilled fighters equipped with full sets of Grade 4, Tier 1 gear. Using so many people just to accumulate points seemed extravagant and wasteful even to Kai Xin himself.
Immediately, Kai Xin ordered a dozen of his men to go to different camps to collect all mission information, which they would then hand over to Feng Wu Cai Yi and Nuomi for consolidation.
The various mission details included:
– Missions of different types and in different regions, sorted and categorized;
– The level of danger associated with each mission.
– The highest points available for large-scale missions and the most suitable troop arrangements;
– As well as the requirements for merit, troop types, quantities, and total points needed for major mission triggers on the main front.
They were busy for nearly half an hour before finally gathering complete information from all eight camps…
The Mu family’s troops set up a temporary camp less than a kilometer outside the main camp, maintaining strict vigilance and preventing anyone from approaching. After collecting the intelligence, Kai Xin, Lei Zhan, Yin Hu, Feng Wu Cai Yi, Bao Long, Mo Mo, and the others sat in a circle to review and process the gathered information.
On the grassland, under the blue sky and white clouds, hundreds of soldiers stood at full alert. As this group sat together for a meeting—more precisely, a military strategy session—they heard the occasional thundering of hooves and the sound of horns in the distance. Their spirits were high, evoking a sense of warfare, which made them even more engaged:
“The period with the highest point rewards in this border battle will surely be the last few days of the confrontation between the two armies… A million-strong army battling each other could yield tens of millions in points…”
Feng Wu Cai Yi, now in the Western Regions, had fully embraced a heroic demeanor—her every glance and gesture was decisive and bold. Her speech was concise yet compelling, blending the spirit of a martial artist with precision:
“The final missions will undoubtedly be fierce, with countless competitors. Whether we can profit from them depends both on strength and luck. We won’t worry about that for now!”
After a pause, she listed, “Apart from the final day’s decisive battles, the missions with the highest points are assassinations and protection missions, along with covert operations on the flanks and raids behind enemy lines.”
“To carry out assassination and protection missions, one needs to be at least at the level of a battalion commander, that is, a commander of a thousand men, requiring around 120,000 points in total.”
“120,000? Damn it, does that mean we have to kill over 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to get a chance at such a secret mission?” Xiao Bei exclaimed, clearly restless.
“Mm!”
Feng Wu Cai Yi glanced at him and nodded in response, “A assassination mission is called ‘Enemy of Ten Thousand!’ Only those who have achieved great fame in the army will gain the commander-in-chief’s approval to venture behind enemy lines and carry out such a dangerous mission.”
“Enemy of Ten Thousand…”
Not only Xiao Bei but many others felt a chill. Killing 10,000 people wasn’t like killing 10,000 chicks—it would likely leave one’s hands numb from the act of killing.
“It’s impossible to undertake a ‘Enemy of Ten Thousand’ mission in the early stages, nor is it possible for anyone to quickly reach the rank of battalion commander. Our first goal is to have a few people from the Mu family become company commanders.”
“The requirements for company commander aren’t too high—just 11,120 merit points are needed to obtain that rank!” Feng Wu Cai Yi explained. “A company commander can lead 125 men. If we gather all the cavalry, just three such teams will be enough to meet the minimum requirements for triggering a flanking harassment mission…”
Hearing this, Kai Xin, who had remained silent until then, couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. “Weren’t we supposed to need a cavalry battalion to trigger the mission?”
“A cavalry battalion is for a single flanking harassment mission, but if three players with company commander ranks form a team, they can also trigger such a mission, and other players are allowed to join during it… Other players can earn kill points in the mission but won’t get the reward points after completing it.”
…
While the Mu family was holding an emergency meeting, Xifeng Tower and Xiayi Gate also noticed this.
“11,120 points to get a company commander position, and additional points are needed to recruit troops—over 7,000 points just for all the cavalry… In other words, it takes about 20,000 points to form a cavalry company…”
“Three companies mean nearly 60,000 points!”
“But the requirements for a cavalry battalion are too high… Just the position requires 111,200 points, and another 30,000+ points to recruit a full cavalry unit… At least 15,000 Mongolian cavalry need to be killed. It’s hard for one person to achieve this in such a short time.”
“Three people would be perfect—Lin Xiao on one side, me on another, and Hong Chen on the third. The other brothers should create an environment for us three to earn points in the next few days.”
Xiayi Gate quickly decided on the candidates for the three company commander positions and began selecting missions!
“At present, among the tasks that can be taken on, those that offer the fastest and highest points should be these…”
The reputation of the Xifeng Tower was growing steadily, and they had set up a temporary camp outside the encampment, not far from the Mu Family and the Xiyi Gate—just a stone’s throw away.
Meiying looked serious as she pointed at various locations on a map with Wu Kuo and the others; many red circles marked the areas they needed to focus on:
“Carrying out large-scale flanking attacks with cavalry—this battle will be extraordinary. However, the several battle sites aren’t too far from our main force, so it’s likely that many lone experts will show up. Although the points are substantial, the competition will be fierce, and the chances of gaining many points are slim.”
Though the Xifeng Tower was gradually establishing its dominance along the eastern coast, Meiying was well aware that there were countless strong experts in the Central Plains, and they weren’t yet capable of controlling the situation in such chaos to reap points extensively—amassing points required Meiying to personally kill every enemy, which was no easy task…
“We can abandon these areas, but those too far away pose too great a risk. If there are skilled enemies in their ranks, it’s possible for our entire force to be wiped out, so they’re not suitable as targets for this mission either.”
“Reconning the supply routes behind enemy lines—scouting missions—can yield a valuable map of the enemy’s rear area. Moreover, we might encounter many enemy scouts and patrols, offering great opportunities to kill enemies. This is also the most dangerous reconnaissance task, with high point rewards… But currently, the risk is even higher because it’s too close to the enemy’s main base. If we run into enemy players, escape would be impossible…”
After ruling out several tasks, Meiying changed her tone:
“Points are directly proportional to danger. Many tasks are beyond our current capabilities… But fortunately, there are several frequent tasks involving gathering medicinal materials. They’re not very difficult but occur often, so we can make use of them… It shouldn’t be hard to gather three team leaders within three days.”
