"Then there's no need to worship some damn witch god. Let everyone take a break and we'll prepare to enter the tower." Yuki expressed his attitude towards the witch god for the first time, and he saw a flash of surprise in Peggy's eyes.

Rebel, no wonder you've been testing me all the way.

Yuki recalled his observations along the way, such as the expectant looks in the eyes of the king and nobles when they sent invitations, and the mercenaries who were constantly being purified along the way.

These are all conspiracies, but unfortunately these conspiracies are too childish and too obvious to the old villain. Peggy still needs to practice more.

"Are you sure you want to get on their boat?" Philen was also observing. Peggy didn't hide it very well, but Yuki seemed to be going with the flow.

The rebels were courting death if they wanted to stop Tanta openly. They were standing against all the people of the Red Earth and did not seem to have the strength to confront the Alliance or the nobles head-on.

"If we really want to deal with the explorers, we have to go inside the tower. There's no point in engaging the army outside." Yuki began to empathize and speculate, "Only players can lead them into the tower. And we're the only ones who don't care about beliefs in witch gods."

"But players are also tower explorers, so in a sense they are also their enemies."

"Hmm, so I wanted to see what these rebels were planning to do. Do you remember the myth that Hiyori found?"

Philen was stunned for a moment, remembering the contradictory myth, and almost understood Yuki's choice.

He doesn't care about the clash of various indigenous forces at all. Yuki only cares about the witch god in the background. The rebels must have deep reasons for preventing people from exploring the tower.

"Are you saying they are the enemies of the Witch God? That's why they were hunted down by various forces?"

"Other than that, I can't find any reason to stop it. This grand ceremony of exploring the tower is beneficial to all classes. In any case, we should make contact first. It will be too late to make plans in the next stage."

Yuki was preparing for a rainy day. He didn't know the purpose of the tower's existence, nor was he sure whether the witch god was dead or alive, or what his attitude was towards the players. According to past experience, everything related to "god" was an enemy.

The matter was decided. If the alliance was not so mysterious, Yuki would even send Philen to contact them, and then make the nobles, rebels, and alliance all "his own people."

The mercenaries set up camp and began final preparations before entering the tower. Yuki noticed that a few more people had secretly joined the team, and he kept hearing prying glances at them, but he pretended not to see anything.

On the way, a messenger from the Noble Alliance came to find Yuki and said that the prince wanted to talk to him. Similarly, he refused without hesitation. One of the messengers said something harsh, so Yuki cut off one of his hands and sent it back to the prince.

The two camps were a thousand meters apart, and hostility spread. The army began to form a battle line, but there was no intention of attacking.

This proves that the restrictions that Peggy mentioned are effective. They are not allowed to fight each other before entering the tower for the first time. This vigilance is more of a defensive measure.

The players are going to leave anyway, so they don’t care about the quota. If real action comes, they won’t even be able to cry.

The subsequent situation of the mercenary group made the speculation more and more real. It was obvious that they had broken off relations with the nobles, but there were still more than 30 people who did not withdraw. The real mercenaries had already protected themselves and made a living.

"You guys are too lazy to even pretend?" Yuki was holding a teacup while Philen was making a fire to boil water beside him, glancing at the mercenary captain who looked well-behaved.

"We only have a dozen hours. We don't have time to slowly explore." Peggy said with a sincere and helpless tone, scratching her head. "But you are smarter and more straightforward than I thought."

The players just arrived at the town yesterday and indeed did not have time to carefully select. Similarly, the players knew nothing about the distribution of forces in the Red Earth Continent.

If Yuki is too stupid, they will quietly replace him with someone else and take a ride.

"Actually, you acted well. The probability of something going wrong is relatively small anyway. We were there for too short a time, and we also didn't have time to join forces with the nobles to set a trap." Yuki nodded approvingly. He also didn't like complicated interpersonal relationships. It would be better if everyone was straightforward.

"Tower explorers can't hide at all. We were targeted before we even entered the town. If I had agreed to the nobles' invitation, you would have abandoned me. It's precisely because I don't care about those princes and nobles, and I'm not as difficult to approach as some of my kind, that you keep increasing your bets. At the very least, you can get a free ride."

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, similar tactics have been used many times before. The reason they're so familiar to you is because they're the product of your predecessors' life experience."

Peggy smiled bitterly at first, then became serious, and finally the corners of her mouth began to twitch.

This Mr. Li is not only smart, he has planned everything out. He seems indifferent, but in fact he knows everything clearly. He said all their ideas, making his prepared speech completely useless.

That's right, this is the experience passed down by the predecessors. Any explorer in the tower is a trap. The only ones who can provide help are those chosen explorers who are indifferent to the witch god and act without scruples.

However, any chosen tower explorer who had any contact with the nobles could not be trusted. He was lucky enough to meet Yuki who had just entered the town, so at least he could ensure his neutrality.

"Since you know everything, why don't you ask?"

"Is there any need to ask? You just ran away on your own." Yuki sipped his tea, his casual demeanor carrying a heavy sense of oppression. "Everyone is a transaction, and transactions are based on profit, including now. You should know who the Chosen Tower Explorer is."

Players have no stance and only care about who has more chips and who can provide more benefits.

"By the way, you're lucky. If you had come to me any later, I would have killed all of you and taken your heads to the nobles to claim the reward."

In a flat tone, he said the cruelest words. Yuuki didn't like being treated as a fool unless they were important enough.

Peggy glanced at the two swords on Yuki's waist, and had no doubt that the other party could do it, so she knelt on the spot.

"Sir, we are extremely sorry. We have no choice but to resort to such a trick. If the scouts discover us, the mission will fail."

"You only found me as your target?"

"Well, there are other targets, but definitely not many."

Yuki nodded. A normal player would also choose the nobles who offered more benefits. If his seniors had not already taken this path, he would have killed these sneaky people to gain reputation.

"Tell me what benefits you can provide. Think carefully. If I'm not satisfied, I will really kill people."

"You don't have to threaten a mere minion like me."

"Little minion? Do you mean you have no power to make decisions at all? Or are you planning to talk to me about some nonsense like a pledge of allegiance?"

Isn't that right? You've been so direct, how dare I reveal core secrets?

Peggy was so stunned that she just kept silent.

According to the organization's plan, the first contact should be made after Yuki kills the other explorers. Once the deal is concluded, Yuki will leave the tower and use the remaining quota to bring the real core members into the tower.

"Oh, so you sensed the danger and were afraid that you wouldn't even be able to get a ride, so you sent someone to contact me in advance. Don't look at me like that, I can't read minds." Yuki slowly put down his teacup, his eyes indifferent and dangerous.

"An hour ago, five disguised mercenaries joined the team. Fifteen minutes ago, two of them sneaked away. Do you think they can escape from the forest if a fight breaks out?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The mercenary captain, who was always fawning, became determined and stared at Yuki like a death warrior, as if asking him to give it a try.

The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds. The mercenaries scattered around quietly picked up their weapons, and Philen also put down his kettle and took out his staff.

Unexpectedly, Yuki waved his hand and ended the eye contact.

He sat sideways, looking at the blood stains on the mercenary's armor, looking into his tired yet determined eyes. That stubbornness was unreasonable, but it was the reason why he tolerated the little action.

Those who dare to go against the trend and disregard life and death are generally doing great things, things that transcend greed and the instinct of survival.

"Tell me why you want to make the world your enemy. What good will it bring? If I'm satisfied, I can at least give you a ride."

Peggy held his breath, his eyes fixed on the hilt of the knife. The intense pressure made him breathless.

Any hope of luck is suicide. Mr. Li knew everything, but was willing to give them a chance. This has never appeared in the notes of the predecessors.

Cruel and murderous, selfish and profit-seeking.

This is the label given to the chosen tower explorers by the notes passed down from generation to generation. The little tricks they had to do today would be extremely dangerous if discovered, so the key people were asked to retreat quickly. This is the first time they were willing to give them a chance after being discovered.

"Because exploring the tower means destruction, no one can come back alive."

"Including us?" Yuki sipped his tea with interest.

"Uh, I don't know about that. After all, you come and go without a trace." Peggy didn't dare lie. She glanced at the distant army formation, her face full of sneer. "According to the description in mythology, the witch god actually has two faces..."

"One is the Creator, the other is the Destroyer. I already know that. To make a long story short."

The mercenary opened his mouth, and he felt more and more that Yuki had the ability to read minds. How could he know this? This taboo was little known among the nobles.

"Well, most people see Him as the creator god, the mother of all things, who protected the development of civilization with his flesh and blood. We, on the other hand, believe He is a destroyer. The witch god simply died in the world and used His flesh and blood to corrupt humanity in a vain attempt to resurrect."

"So our mission is to prevent him from resurrecting and wreaking havoc on the world!"

Yuki listened quietly and compared his words with the information Hiyori found in the library. These records were all banned books, and only the library of the Grand Duke had a few words about them.

"It's believable and in line with the style of reincarnation games. If I'm not mistaken, the second stage will give players the choice of resurrecting the witch god or holding down the coffin lid."

Being experienced enough, Yuuki can even guess the clues, which can be considered a kind of growth.

"How to stop it?"

"Just don't activate any of the towers."

"You mean to kill the tower explorers so that no one will activate the tower?"

"Uh, that won't work. Every tower has a witch spirit, and the tower will automatically activate when the time comes."

Yuuki confirmed the hint and looked at the other person with an expression of concern for the mentally retarded.

If you don't activate the tower, you have to kill the explorer, deal with the witch spirit, completely control the tower, and deal with the attack from the alliance.

Only one tower remained unactivated. It was obvious the Alliance wouldn't sit idly by. The key was that the rebels couldn't even enter the tower, and if they couldn't activate it, what about the main quest?

Clang——

The phantom long knife was pushed away by the thumb, and the murderous intent made Peggy jump up instantly and wave her hands repeatedly.

"I'm talking about an ideal situation. No one expects to do this, and no one can do it."

"Then how do we solve the normal situation?" Yuki's tone was a little impatient.

"We still need to activate all the towers and open the Tower of the Sorcerer God. We can face the Sorcerer God directly. We have a way to deal with him, but I don't know how."

That's more or less.

Yuki retracted his knife and thought about it. These rebels did not conflict with the player's main quest. They were options specially left by the game. As for whether they could be useful, he would cooperate with them first.

Because the rebels have no choice, it is too easy for them to cooperate. They just need to enter the tower and take the heads of the noble tower explorers as a token of their loyalty. Moreover, the bigger the commotion they make, the more opportunities they will provide to the seniors.

In addition, there is an option to "cooperate" with the witch spirit in the daily analysis. Can killing the tower explorers increase the reputation?

After thinking about it, he turned on the spiritual communication.

"Hiyori, have you entered the tower?"

"We're getting ready to enter, Mr. Yuki. We're getting along well with the Grand Duke's men, but that alliance is completely ignoring us." Shiina Hiyori was also preparing and searching for clues. "We have a group of players here who have also chosen to cooperate with the nobles."

"What camp?"

"Uh, war orphans. The leader is a very beautiful blonde girl. When I have time, I will draw her and share it with you for your reading."

War orphans, oh, it's them.

Yuki has had contact with this camp at the border. Could the blonde girl be Tanya? She has nothing to do with being beautiful.

"Go into the tower first. I'll give you a mission. There's a chance you'll be involved with the Alliance. Then you do this..."

The man held the teacup and closed his eyes in deep thought, but he was actually explaining a complicated plan. The mercenary didn't even dare to breathe, and had no idea what this man was thinking.

After a while, he saw the pair of red eyes open and leaned forward involuntarily.

"Bring your people and follow me."

Yuuki was concise and to the point.

Chapter 6 Breakthrough on the First Level (K)

After 24 hours of entering the dungeon, Yuki already had an idea.

He didn't know whether the rebels were trustworthy or whether the Witch God was the final boss, but he could take advantage of the contradictions in the copy and bet on both sides.

I am responsible for helping the rebels, and the seniors are on the side of the alliance. The truth will definitely be revealed when the two collide.

Apart from his cross-camp team, no one else dared to play like this, because the prompt clearly stated that a camp could only choose one tower, and there was no possibility of dividing the troops.

Another advantage of teaming up with rebels is that they have notes from their predecessors and have some experience in strategy.

Just after noon, the area around the tower became bustling. The explorers who had rested began to carry out their real mission and headed towards the tower from two directions.

The nobles' army remained motionless, their hostility obvious. They knew the rules and were prepared to wait outside for an opportunity.

The team formed by the One Hundred Demons Night Parade has not appeared yet, and no one knows what they are planning.

Yuki didn't bother to think too much, so he led his men directly to the tower. Looking up, he couldn't see the top of the tower. The shapes of the seven towers were almost the same.

"It's like Optimus Prime. It can't even be called a 'tower'."

Two teams approached the tower, one team had only thirty or forty people, dressed in rags, and the other team had more than three hundred people. The three groups of explorers were firmly protected in the middle, and the guards were also dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The difference between the common people and the nobles attracted hostility and contempt.

Yuki glanced at the princes and princesses with disdain.

"Follow me closely. According to previous experience, the witch beasts in the Shura Tower are mainly individual in strength, and most of them fight in close combat."

"it is good."

Yuki liked Philen's serious character. He looked at the dark red and smooth outer wall, then took a deep breath and put his hand on it.

There was a soft touch and a suction in his palm. Yuki chose not to resist and was pulled in as if falling into a quagmire. He felt that he had crossed a barrier, and his vision went dark as he buried himself in the tower wall.

Kind of like space movement?

The player was too familiar with the trance feeling at that moment. The red eyes slowly opened and the eyebrows slowly raised.

Is this inside the tower?
