Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 468: 467, [Illusion Duel] (10): Goblin radar tracking device_1
 

The NPC elder was right. Perhaps because of their “cold resistance,” all the mercenaries for sale at the Icy Camp were tough and hardy.

The most basic type of troops available for recruitment was the [Frost Troll Warrior]. It was a third-tier combat unit that could be recruited for a price of 100 gold.

The strength of all 3,250 soldiers provided by the system was at the second tier, which was quite a step down from the Troll Warrior.

Besides the Troll Warrior, the camp also offered more advanced types of troops:

[Frost Troll Spearman] (third-tier, long-range physical combat) – 150 gold;

[Ice Wing Bat] (third-tier, close-range aerial combat) – 200 gold;

[Polar Shaman] (third-tier, long-range magic) – 250 gold;

[Tundra Wolf Rider] (third-tier, close combat) – 300 gold;

[Winter Mage] (fourth-tier, long-range magic) – 2000 gold;

[Frost Dragon] (fifth-tier, medium-long range aerial unit) – 20000 gold;

…

Each type of troop had a very high health value, and their attacks carried additional frost damage, slowing down or even freezing enemies.

Besides troop exchanges, the camp also offered a wide variety of consumables with different functions, such as the [God Travel Charm] which significantly enhanced troop movement speed, and the [Frozen Potion] which caused frost damage over a large area and froze targets within it, and so on.

As Su Yu looked from top to bottom, one item caught his attention.

This item was the [Goblin Radar Tracking Device]. Its function was: after activation, the location information of a specified player is obtained and can be publicly revealed. Its price was 200 gold.

This was a useful item that could greatly aid him at his present stage.

However, Su Yu did not immediately purchase it. Instead, he patiently waited for the right moment while keeping an eye on the public channel.

Three minutes later, the time was ripe.

At this point, Su Yu’s account had a balance of 5225 gold.

Su Yu spent 4800 gold to buy 16 [Tundra Wolf Riders] straight away. With the remaining 400 plus gold, he purchased two Goblin radar tracking devices and activated them.

“Ding, you have successfully used the [Goblin Radar Tracking Device] x2. You have obtained the location information of [Jam Candy] and [Charlie]. Do you want to make this information public?”

Seeing these two location messages, an almost undetectable smirk spread across Su Yu’s face: “Make it public.”

The system message in the public chat channel read: “Player [Nemesis] used the [Goblin Radar Tracking Device] and revealed the coordinates of player [Jam Candy] to be [324, 223] and [Charlie’s] to be [236, 757].”

Upon receiving this message, the other players in the field were taken aback.

This was a medium-sized map of 1000X1000. [Jam Candy]’s coordinates [324, 223] were in the southwest of the map, while [Charlie] was obviously in the northwest. The two of them were actually half a map apart!

Three minutes ago, the Lord and his trusted minister had converged in the southwest of the map while the rebels gathered in the northeast. They all agreed to first kick Su Yu, who was in the northwest, out of the game.

So, all four factions began marching towards the northwest.

However, [Jam Candy] did not go north with the main forces, but instead stayed in the southwest. It was clear to anyone with eyes that he must have been consolidating his base in the rear and claiming gold mines instead of standing with [Charlie].

…

Chungseong! Sung! and Alex were moving to the northwest, where Su Yu was.

Seeing the system message, Chungseong! Sung!’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to a blonde woman next to him and said in a broken English, “Alex, this is a great opportunity! The Lord and his loyal minister are separated. We just need to push south and kill Jam Candy, and we will win!”

Alex was a very attractive blonde. She frowned as she thought about it.

After about a dozen seconds, she became determined, “Alright, we’re heading south!”

She and Chungseong! Sung! hadn’t claimed many gold mines along the way, only the two in their homeland.

[Jam Candy] didn’t go north with the main troops to combat. He must have occupied many gold mines in the southwest.

If they were to follow their original plan and wipe out Su Yu, they would fall behind in gold production compared to the opponent.

But now [Jam Candy] and [Charlie] were apart, which was an opportunity that doesn’t come often!

Their best option to win this game at the moment was — to move south!

So without any hesitation, two rebel armies turned around and sped up towards due south.

…

Charlie, who is at the other side of the map, was also making his move.

Charlie was not a fool (how can anyone stand out from among 200,000 players be a fool?), he knew his coordinates were revealed and he had to go back and provide support the moment his position was exposed.

If he sticks to the original plan, he would be going head-to-head with Boss Ke, while the two rebel armies would go south and rob his base. If this happens, wouldn’t he end up being a laughing stock?

So no matter what, he had to go back first.

With just two radar devices, Su Yu effortlessly broke away from the encirclement.

…

However, Su Yu was also acutely aware that it was not the time to relax.

After using the radar devices, he quickly roamed five gold mines using the [Teleportation Portal] spell. With a small number of soldiers left to guard, he commanded all his troops to march south.

He guessed that the two rebel forces would definitely seize this opportunity to blockade the King. Now’s the time for him to fish in troubled waters.

3100 soldiers along with 16 hired wolf cavalrymen formed a grandiose main force marching towards south.

…

As soon as Jam Candy saw the system message, he knew that things were about to get bad — the rebels were likely on their way!

But he didn’t dare to run around and move his position rashly because there was a good chance he wouldn’t be able to meet up with Charlie if he did, which would be even more dangerous.

Therefore, all he could do was stay put and wait anxiously.

However, in the process of waiting, he used the 1800 gold he had earned from mining and bought 12 [Flaming Skeleton Archers] (third-tier, long-range physical combatant) at the Fire Faction Camp to bolster his forces.

…

Another three minutes passed and Charlie rushed back with his main force.

Seeing that the enemy wasn’t the first to arrive, Jam Candy visibly let out a sigh of relief: “Thank god you’re here first. I wouldn’t know what to do if it were the rebels.”

Charlie didn’t waste time on pleasantries. He urgently asked, “What should we do? A few of my cavalrymen that I sent ahead for scouting reported that the two rebel armies are marching towards us!”

“It’s okay, we can ambush them…” Looking at the 24 [Flaming Skeleton Archers] gathered behind him, Jam Candy laid out the counter strategy that he had just thought of.

His strategy was simple: it involved having Charlie lead the main force while he and the 24 [Flaming Skeleton Archers] hid in a side valley.

Once the enemy attacked, Charlie was to lead an attack on their flanks.

The key to this battle was to create the right conditions for the 24 [Flaming Skeleton Archers] so they had a chance to concentrate their fire on Alex and Chungseong! Sung!.

The [Flaming Skeleton Archers] had an exceptional ability to concentrate their fire on single targets. As long as they were given the right conditions, they had a chance to kill off the enemy leaders and secure victory for the game.

Charlie was in full agreement with this plan.

He hastily led his troops to engage in a hidden ambush at the side of the valley, leaving behind a total of 2,000 infantrymen, priests, and archers with Jam Candy and quietly awaiting the start of the big battle.
