128 The So-Called Being Open (2/2)
Allie walked over, her expression still very depressed. ”So what can I do?”
Roland thought for a moment and then said, ”How about you write an official declaration for Gray Eyes denouncing their enemy from the point of view of the victim? I saw your post on the forums, your writing should be pretty good.
”I graduated with a major in literature,” Allie said simply, and then asked, ”A passionate, or indignant tone?”
”Indignant.”
Allie tilted her head aside in thought and said, ”Okay, I'll alter Luo Binwang's declaration against Empress Dowager Wu.”
Roland, a sciences student, was speechless. She sounded so impressive and sophisticated.
At this moment, a grinning male player approached him and said, ”Roland, you're having an official declaration to denounce the enemy written and building a simple catapult. Do you want to attack head-on?”
”Certainly, to vent anger for one of our own, we definitely have to be both open and insolent,” Roland said matter-of-factly.
The grinning male player was instantly struck by the originality of Roland's idea. ”But we have to cover our faces, does that count as open?”
”It's not a contradiction to tell them we're openly hiding our identities.”
”You're awesome!” This player gave him a thumbs-up. ”The netizens in the livestream chat all say that you're not only a cunning bas***d but also b**chy!”
Roland was shocked. ”You're actually streaming this.”
”How fresh.” This player's expression seemed to say, ”You just realized?” ”I was the first to come, and at the request of the vast number of netizens, I've been streaming for four days.”
At this time, Roland also received a system message. He opened it and saw that the rest of the F6 members were @ him.
Li Lin: ”Do your best, show the stylishness of our F6 military strategist.”
Betta: ”Brother Roland's so awesome.”
Schuck: ”I'm watching the livestream. It feels a little strange. This is the Roland that we don't usually see.”
Raffel: ”Unfortunately, I'm too far from Mory, or else I would've taken part.”
This was actually being livestreamed… If he'd known earlier, he wouldn't have stood out so much.
He felt a sense of embarrassment as if he had a break-out of eighth-grader syndrome and was seen by his family.
Having something to do, time would feel as though it passed more quickly. Four days passed in the blink of an eye, the players that could come all arrived, and those who couldn't come, probably returned to their city for free halfway here.
Over the days, they built eight simple catapults from trees and vines.
The clothes and maps were already prepared. Roland looked at the map for a while and drew two lines. Then, he said to the forty-plus people whose faces were covered and who were dressed in black gowns, ”Wait for the second team to infiltrate into the city first, and then we'll appear in front of the gate. Seeing our sinister appearance, the gate will definitely be closed. We'll read what Allie wrote up for denouncing the enemy, and afterward, we'll smash the gates with the catapult.
”At this point, the enemy's attention will surely be drawn. If the mayor leaves his castle with his troops and comes to the wall to provide assistance, then the second team will infiltrate into the castle and stir things up, For example, setting fire to the house, which will make him anxious and confused. If he stays obstinately inside the castle, the second team will storm the walls from behind and help us open the gates. But I don't think the second plan is likely. That young nobleman will probably come to the wall to see what is the matter with us.”
A player asked, ”Didn't you say we were doing things openly? Sending spies inside is too underhanded.”
Confused, Roland threw his hands up in the air and said, ”We are openly sieging the city.”
