The Players And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me – Volume 1, Chapter 77
Chapter 77: Under Siege
The reason why Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other chose the mage Class is because he has always played as a mage in similar games before.
In Cain Continent, every level up gives you a Skills point, but the stronger the Skills, the more Skills points you need.
Now he’s a little worried about how to allocate his 15 Skills points, so he had to consult the current strongest mage big shot, Scheming Frog.
“In this game, the mage elemental system can be chosen by oneself, and once chosen, it cannot be changed. Currently, there are fire, water, earth, and thunder elements. Whether there will be others in the future is still unknown. Have you chosen your elemental system?”
“Fire element, I chose the fire element.”
The fire and thunder elements are extreme destruction. Compared to the purely damaging thunder element, he prefers the continuous burning effect of the fire element.
“Then let me tell you about the differentiation of mages next. In this game, mages are currently divided into Legion Mages and Battle Mages, and the choice of Skills varies according to the direction you take.”
“The so-called Battle Mage, Skills are for self-service, suitable for solo combat. The characteristics are fast release, low power, low consumption, and strong flexibility. For example, Fireball and Pyroblast are typical combat Skills.”
“Legion Mages, on the other hand, serve the team with their Skills, suitable for legion battles. The characteristics are long casting time, immense power, high consumption, and basically can only stand and output. For example, Flame Wall and Rain of Fire are typical legion Skills.”
“Can I pursue both directions?”
[Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other] asked with somewhat uncertainty.
“Skills points are not enough, [Greed for too much leads to mediocrity].”
[Scheming Frog] shrugged. Many Players wanted to pursue dual paths, but the end result was usually unsatisfactory.
He had said what needed to be said, and whether this eager newcomer listened or not was his own business.
“[Greedy for too much leads to mediocrity], thank you.”
[Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other] pondered [Scheming Frog]’s words repeatedly, then his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to allocate all his Skills points to Pyroblast.
Originally, he could have five Skills, but now there is only one Pyroblast III lying lonely in the Skills column.
And he needs a whopping 8 Skills points to upgrade to Pyroblast IV next time. (2-4-6)
“Explosion is art, within range, truth is everywhere.”
“Condense a point, reach the peak.”
He understood.
At this moment, a peculiar mage who only knows Pyroblast is born in Cain Continent.
Seeing Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other’s expression of sudden enlightenment, Scheming Frog nodded with satisfaction. He thought Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other had already taken his advice to heart and chose to specialize in one path.
Being both a liver and willing to listen to the experience of predecessors, this is a promising talent.
So he kindly reminded Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other again:
“Oh yes, since you have chosen a fire mage focusing on attack, let me tell you about how mages should behave in battle.”
“Warriors currently also have two paths, but they are created by Players themselves, called the Sacrifice Flow and the Protection Flow.”
“Let’s talk about the Protection Flow first, which mainly focuses on protecting mage Players and archer Players, with basic Skills points in defense and shields.”
“Next is the Sacrifice Flow. Warrior Players in the Sacrifice Flow allocate all their points to attack and control, such as sliding tackles and leg-slicing blades.”
“Why is it called the Sacrifice Flow? Because their main purpose in combat is to desperately inflict damage on the enemy. These Warrior Players also create opportunities for us mages with higher burst damage.”
“If they can’t beat the enemy, they will rush up in groups of two or three to hold the enemy, then give us mage Players an attack command.”
“When they initiate a desperate Charge, they will shout ‘For glory!’ loudly. At this point, we mages need to pay attention. After they shout commands like ‘Fire at me!’ or ‘Hit me, my teammates,’ you should not hesitate to cast your spells on them.”
Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other: “…”
Winterfell.
After Sivey and Lori’s diligent efforts before bedtime, another hundred Crusaders were added to the city wall.
The city wall of Winterfell is very long. If Players choose a multi-line attack, it is very easy to encounter problems.
So, besides the 1,100 Crusaders and 500 sharpshooters, there are also more than a thousand veterans who participated in the iron mine battle, as well as three hundred sword and shield soldiers on the city wall.
In order to preserve these veterans to the greatest extent possible, Sivey almost used up all his remaining armor to outfit them.
As for Crusaders, it doesn’t matter if they die for now, after all, they can be resurrected. But these militia with families to support would be truly gone once they die.
Who will farm for him, Sivey? Who will engage in production? These are all strong and able-bodied men from nearby villages, the system’s soldiers can’t farm or raise pigs.
In the future, when there are enough system soldiers, Sivey will definitely replace all the militia and let the system soldiers take the battlefield, while these militia will mainly serve as city defense and patrol teams.
Just as Sivey was dressing in armor and having breakfast under Lori’s care, a castle guard came to him anxiously, kneeling on one knee and saluting:
“My lord, the foreign army you mentioned has appeared. They are currently less than a kilometer away from Winterfell.”
Oh, the Players have arrived quite quickly.
Sivey was also taken aback by the news. He originally thought this group of Players wouldn’t arrive until noon.
They really can’t wait to destroy him.
Is it still possible to send Saintess over to explain to the Players now?
But whether Saintess can successfully get through is still a question.
Sivey took another look at Zoe in the morning and found that her expression had softened a lot, but there was still no sign of her waking up.
If she doesn’t wake up soon, even if Sivey and Lori extend her life, her body won’t last long. After all, life energy cannot replace the nutrients from food.
“Lori, let’s go to the city wall together.”
Sivey said as he pulled the obedient little maid and followed the guard who was leading the way in front.
Approaching a battle involving tens of thousands of people like this, Sivey also didn’t dare to be reckless. Although he, as a Sky Knight Player, couldn’t break the defense, a qualitative change could be brought about by a quantitative change. If thousands of Fireballs were cast on him, it would quickly deplete his Qi protection.
Knights are never invincible. Once their Qi is depleted, they are flesh and blood just like anyone else.
In this wave of city defense battles, Sivey definitely had to reap some benefits from the Players. After all, there are system Quests there, but he couldn’t rush into the midst of the Players blindly.
On the city wall, the militia and sword and shield soldiers seemed a little nervous. The dark mass of the foreign army, like a floating dark cloud on the ground, was still quite intimidating to them.
They haven’t seen much of the world, and this level of battle is the first time for them.
In contrast, the Crusaders and sharpshooters produced by the system were indifferent and unresponsive, silently standing on the edge of the city wall, motionless, as if the Players outside Winterfell were all radishes and cabbages waiting to be harvested.
From a distance, with the inhuman hearing enhanced by the Qi, Sivey could already hear some of the Players’ shouts:
“Damn it, who dug such a nasty trap, not only is the pit so deep, there are also a dozen venomous snakes inside!”
“Stop talking… gurgle… vomit! In my pit, it’s… it’s a cesspool, gurgle gurgle…”.
