Chapter 63 Kurast

In the background of Diablo 2, Kurast was once a huge sprawling city in the Eastern jungle, the second largest city of the Eastern Kehjistan Kingdom. Since the army of hell invaded the human world, the army of hell has successively captured cities such as Cuifank and Kurast, and the kingdom of Kejistan was forced to stay at the corner of Kurast harbor, lingering on its last breath.

The series of tasks faced by adventurers is actually a process of human beings counterattacking hell and regaining lost ground. During this process, they must continue to attack, expand, kill and expel hell monsters until they encounter enough powerful enemies. Until I can't go any further.

Four hours later, the adventurers walked out of the peeling jungle and came to Kurast City. What lay before their eyes was a majestic ruin of a building.

Completely different from the game, Kurast City is a complete human city. Although it has experienced major damage during the war, this land still retains a large number of urban relics.

This place used to be a bustling human business center, with extraordinarily tall buildings and a bustling market. People used boulders as materials, invented plant ash and other cement-like substances, and built large-scale castle-like buildings tens of meters high. There are as many as seven or eight buildings similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome. There are many temples in the center of the city, with different architectural styles, fully showing the infinite wisdom of human beings.

All the houses are made of stone, durable, and at the same time, the entire city is divided into large chessboards, to a somewhat modern urban architectural pattern.

Due to the war, there are ruins everywhere, and the ground is covered with weeds. This makes it look a bit like Los Angeles in the Terminator world, the same withered, dilapidated, less the breath of modern civilization, more mysterious like the Mayan civilization.

Walking in here is like walking into an ancient city that has been dusty for thousands of years.

The red and black bloodstains on the wall and the bones on the ground seem to be telling people about the tragic battles that took place here.

Even a group of adventurers were stunned - they seemed to see a splendid human civilization, which was being invaded by hell. Human warriors fought bravely, and then fell one by one in a pool of blood.

Cities fell, humans went into exile, the land was barren, the sky was dark...

Now Kurast is completely occupied by hell monsters. Although there is not a single hell monster outside, it is conceivable that a large number of hell soldiers are hiding in a dark corner of the city, waiting for adventurers to enter , and then surrounded them from all directions, annihilating them all in one fell swoop.

"Do you have any opinions?" Ambera asked Shen Yi.

Standing on the hillside outside the ruins, Shen Yi had been observing Kurast for a while, until Ambera couldn't help but ask him.

Shen Yi sighed: "It's street fighting... the city wants us to fight street fighting."

Hearing the word street fighting, everyone's expressions darkened slightly.

Street fighting is the most complicated form of warfare.

It usually only exists in a multi-location, small-scale hand-to-hand combat where the defender loses the outer defense and takes advantage of the city's streets and complex terrain.

Compared with large-scale group battles, the biggest feature of street warfare is that it is composed of countless tactical levels of victory. The role of strategic capabilities in street warfare is infinitely reduced. The fact that he knew very well, and the forces divided by the terrain made it almost impossible for the commander to command any soldiers beyond fifty meters away from him.

Even as superhumans, adventurers can't let their eyesight pass through the obstacles to command battles from all over the place, let alone cooperate in battle.

However, compared to the powerful and brave hell monsters, human beings are creatures that rely most on cooperation. Losing cooperation is equivalent to being cut off an arm.

Shen Yi didn't expect that the situation they were facing this time would be street fighting. At that moment, what Lan Yan said suddenly sounded in his mind: "The city needs soldiers.

Not a businessman. "

Maybe he didn't finish what he said, maybe he should add an addition: What the city needs are fighters, not commanders...

Some adventurers said: "We don't need to separate. In the past, wars were for siege, and the main purpose of the two sides' combat was to seize the field. But our mission is different. We came here not to regain lost land, but to kill Dead enemy. We can continue to fight side by side, sweeping the past street by street."

His words elicited echoes.

However, Shen Yi shook his head and said: "The streets are too narrow, it is not easy to deploy a circular formation. If they are arranged along the streets, a long line will be formed. Once a high-speed troop cuts in from the middle, it will easily tear the line in half. As long as we repeatedly use interspersed tactics, we can easily split us into several pieces that are not connected to each other. In addition, the battle itself has a tendency. The battlefield is always easy to expand toward the sparse surface and extend outward. This is related to our strength. Nothing to do, only related to combat needs and psychology. When we fight, we will try our best to avoid the situation of being flanked, so we have to keep moving to the open. In this case, the separated people will be separated from each other. The distance between them is getting farther and farther, until they completely cut off contact and fight on their own. This is caused by the special terrain of the city, and it does not depend on people's will. Even we must abide by this law."

Someone said: "We can knock down the house and make a whole battlefield."

Zongtang immediately said: "But you can't push down the whole city. The buildings here are all made of stone, tall and strong, and it takes a lot of strength to destroy them. Even if we can create an open space, the consequence is that we have no danger However, those monsters can hide themselves through a large number of buildings, and then suddenly rush to our side to attack."

Street fighting is street fighting. Adventurers may have the ability to forcibly reverse the pattern of street fighting, but they must pay a price for it. Rather than relying on brute force to solve problems, it is better to adapt yourself to street fighting.

Being able to do it and whether it is worth doing are two concepts after all.

"So what are we going to do?" someone asked.

Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "Let's enter together first, try not to separate as much as possible, but at the same time, we must be prepared to be isolated. Each person takes a communicator from my soldier, even if we are separated, at least we can keep in touch. Although they are all obsolete products and cannot be used beyond a certain range, I don’t think we will be separated by such a long distance.”

"What about the income distribution?"

"It will be distributed according to the contribution ratio given by the city, and everyone can compete freely. The reward points can no longer be distributed, but the rewards still have to be distributed."

"I think it's okay." Everyone echoed.

Only then did Shen Yi say: "Frost, tell us what we need to pay attention to in street fighting?"

Frost quickly replied: "Commanding heights, sir. There is nothing more important than commanding heights in street fighting. If you master the commanding heights, you will have enough vision, so that you can get rid of visual obstacles and make the most accurate response in time."

"Very good, what else?"

"Special functional buildings are mainly used for propaganda and control of local residents. But for you, neither of these needs to be considered, and the only residents here are monsters. Other than that are terrain and main roads. Although The officers have the ability to climb freely on buildings, but the significance of the streets should not be underestimated. The streets are the most important foundation for transporting troops. Even if you don’t need it yourself, if you can control it, it’s better to control it as much as possible. Even you I also believe that running on the ground is faster than jumping on top of buildings. When the situation is unfavorable, an unobstructed escape route may be more meaningful than any equipment."

"Well said, it seems that we need to get a topographic map first." Shen Yi said as he released the electronic bees and directed them to fly towards Kurast.

The electronic bees flew very fast, but as they entered Kurast's sphere of influence, all information transmissions suddenly stopped. Shen Yi's handheld computer actually showed a snowflake, and he couldn't see any content.

"Zeus, what's going on?"

Zeus replied: "The electronic signal is interfered. According to my analysis, there is likely to be a huge magnetic field near Kurast that hinders the transmission of electronic signals. You can no longer use devices such as electronic bees."

"Shit!" Shen Yi cursed.

What kind of nonsense magnetic field, this is clearly a means of interference by the bloody city to limit the abilities of adventurers.

Since it is necessary to test the individual combat ability of the adventurers, it is natural that they cannot be given the opportunity to easily join forces. On this special battlefield, every adventurer can only use his own strength to break through the sky.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "This battle is a test of individual combat capabilities. All auxiliary adventurers must be careful. You'd better find yourself an emergency partner immediately. If there is a problem, be gentle, Ivy You are responsible for her safety, you must protect her well. Yi Yu and Luo Hao cooperate with you, King Kong and Luo Sheng, you two are with the Chang family brothers."

"What about me?" Hong Lang asked.

"Forget it, you are good at killing people, and protecting people is not your specialty." Shen Yi laughed. Hong Lang was their main attacker. He typically had more than enough offense but not enough defense. The job of protecting others was really not suitable for him. It was better to let him fight freely and completely liberate his combat power.

"Understood." Everyone in the Broken Blade team nodded in agreement.

Over there, King Kong patted the shoulders of the two brothers of the Chang family: "Now I will leave my safety to you brothers."

Chang Zui, the elder brother of the Chang family brother, said with a smile, "It can be regarded as paying off the debt, who asked us to kill you once."

These two brothers are very powerful in fighting, and their personal strength is second only to Scarface among the scattered adventurers. Since King Kong and them have a good relationship now, it is no problem to let them take care of King Kong.

The combination of two can be said to be the smallest unit. Shen Yi's arrangement means that the worst situation has been taken into consideration, which is also his habit.

While making arrangements on his side, other people are also making arrangements for each other. Both the Fenglin team and the South China Sea team have their own support staff. Like Shen Yi, Zongtang and Ambera also arrange the most suitable manpower for key protection, while the scattered adventurers discuss and cooperate with each other.

Since they couldn't detect the enemy's situation, Shen Yi'an Bella and the others couldn't make any plans to adapt to the enemy's conditions. After discussing the contingency strategies for various situations after entering, everyone agreed that it is necessary to rush in and take a risk for this mission.

Before all the discussions were over and ready to leave, Shen Yi suddenly said:

"Before entering Kurast, I have a few words to say to everyone."

He glanced at everyone, paused for a while and then said slowly:

"First of all, I am very happy to stand here and fight side by side with everyone. No matter how much unhappiness you have had in the past, and how much unhappiness you may have in the future, at least for now, we have a common goal and work hard for it. .”

"We have traveled in different worlds, faced various dangers, fought in the stormy sea, fought in the hail of bullets... Those who have been able to make it to the present are all warriors. What is different from our previous experience is that we are now in the In a dimensional world with a higher degree of difficulty. As for Kurast, this task worth 2,500 points is actually the real beginning of a world with a third difficulty."

"Maybe some people don't care about the difficulty of the extra 500 points, but I want to remind you: human strength has its limit. This is like a weightlifter, when he erupts with all his strength to lift a 200 kg barbell At that time, every extra kilogram of weight could have fatal consequences for him!"

"I don't know if Kurast is our limit, but I know that the increased difficulty of 500 points means that the difficulty of this mission has increased by 20% compared to the difficulty of the mission we challenged last time. It's like a weightlifter who lifts 200kg and then lifts 250kg...a flying jump!"

"Even if we finish the 250kg try, there are 300kg, 360kg trylifts waiting for us behind us. Unlike athletes, they fail, it's just a missed opportunity , if we fail, lives will be lost."

"In this battle against the three difficulty missions, the only thing we can rely on is that there are a total of thirty-seven adventurers standing here."

"The number of people is the biggest key for us to dare to face the three difficulties! Unity is the first element of this key! So no matter where we come from, no matter what kind of past we have with each other, and what kind of future we will have, we Everyone must understand: mutual support is the most important condition for us to go on here. All planning and pursuit of interests are not as important as our going further! If anyone chooses to give up in the battle If he kills his companion, or even murders his companion, then he will give up his own life!"

"The front is Kurast. This is a chessboard-like battlefield, and everyone may be cut apart. The importance of small team operations is highlighted, and the meaning of the commander's existence is reduced. That is to say, once the battle officially begins, It will be difficult for us to carry out overall command. This is why I said the above paragraph. I hope that everyone can play their own subjective initiative and learn from the spirit of never abandoning and never giving up in the soldiers' assault... …Don’t treat other adventurers as enemies or competitors, forget about the damned co-opetition mode, at least in battle, we are united, cooperative, life and death as one!”
