14: I want Lin Ye to die!
Ito Hidekazu cleared his throat and said directly, "Everyone, don't be intimidated by the size of the map or the difficulty of the dungeon given by the Sky Curtain. This dungeon is officially opening for the first time, and many of the Sky Curtain's data might not be entirely accurate."
"No matter how big the map is, if the mission arrangement is flawed, it's just a paper tiger."
"I believe Lin Ye's dungeon is actually a mirage created by a vast map, without actual technological and military support!"
Ito Hidekazu's comments hit the nail on the head, and the Challengers in the barracks looked at each other, starting to discuss.
The first half of Ito Hidekazu's statement made sense; the Sky Curtain's difficulty assessment could indeed be wrong, and such situations had occurred before.
However, directly stating that Lin Ye's dungeon was a paper tiger in the latter part was somewhat unconvincing.
Just then, a figure slowly appeared before everyone.
This person was tall, with a thick red cloth tightly wrapped around his head, and wore a snow-white suit, impeccably tailored with flowing lines, exuding an air of extraordinary elegance.
Most striking were the many dazzling golden embellishments on his body. These glittering ornaments, like countless stars, were embedded in his clothes, shining with brilliant light. Every detail exuded luxury and nobility.
As he walked closer step by step, a strong smell of curry wafted through the air.
Everyone saw that this person actually had an LV3 identifier on his head.
No one had noticed until now that there was an LV3 big shot in this dungeon!
At the LV3 level, one was absolutely rich or noble, and certainly a prominent figure within his clan.
"Mr. Ito, I am Singh, a prince of the Jaipur royal family, a branch of the Asan Clan's Brahmin caste. I have some objections to what you just said."
"In this prince's opinion, the mission in this dungeon is very clever, and it's divided into two branches: a war route and an economic route."
The man gently stroked his beard and said slowly, "This is rare in Azure Star dungeons."
Hearing Prince Singh's introduction, Ito Hidekazu's pupils constricted, and a wave of secret delight surged in his heart!
This person in front of him was actually royalty from the Asan Clan!
On Azure Star, the Asan Clan could be said to be the most complex and feudal clan. This clan had a strict hierarchy and numerous branches, largely continuing some customs from the feudal era.
The lower-class people of the Asan Clan would voluntarily contribute their points to the upper-class people.
And Singh, as a member of the royal family, regardless of which branch's prince he was, could enjoy the most noble treatment of a people.
Another crucial point was that the Asan Clan was rich in resources. They exchanged resources for points, and then used those points to acquire dungeon technology from other clans.
Looking across the myriad clans of Azure Star, the Asan Clan could definitely rank among the top.
In terms of financial resources, technology, and weapons carried, this prince was absolutely superior to him!
With such a person in the dungeon, the probability of clearing it could be said to increase sharply.
"So it's Prince Singh of the Asan Clan, a pleasure to meet you."
"Allow me to explain the shortcomings of this dungeon to the Prince."
Ito Hidekazu said in a friendly tone, "What the Prince just said is very true: this dungeon has two routes, one being the war route to attack the naval military base, and the other an economic route for economic surpassing."
"But I don't think anyone would choose this economic surpassing mission."
After Ito Hidekazu finished speaking, everyone in the barracks nodded.
This point was basically a consensus.
Because in all previous dungeons, the main theme was military warfare; a route simulating economics had never been seen before.
And in real life, all humans were uniformly controlled by the Sky Curtain.
The people of Azure Star simply did not possess the ability to independently develop their economy.
What couldn't be done in reality certainly couldn't be done in a dungeon.
Moreover, even if it could be done, no one would dare to do it.
Because the Sky Curtain's introduction just mentioned that the Eagle Country's territory and population were dozens of times larger than those of the Eastern Island!
With such a disparity in size, how could economic surpassing be achieved?
If this mission branch were chosen, failure would deduct one hundred points, an absurdly high risk.
Therefore, the Challengers actually only had one mission to choose: conquer the Pearl Harbor Military Base.
"Prince Singh, please look closely at the mission description. The objective of Mission One is only to attack the Pearl Harbor Military Base; there is no mention of the Eagle Country's mainland at all."
"Look at the location of Pearl Harbor; it's far from the Eagle Country's mainland and can actually be regarded as an isolated island."
"The combat power of the Pearl Harbor Military Base is merely 30 naval units, with a population of only 30,000..."
"This combat power is not weak, but does the Prince truly believe it's unconquerable?"
After hearing Ito Hidekazu's words, Singh suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Although the map of this dungeon was very large and the forces set up were very grand, the mission objective was not unconquerable.
The Eagle Country was vast, but their target was only a Pearl Harbor Military Base.
If one were to disregard the map, this dungeon actually didn't differ much from previous difficult-level dungeons!
"As expected of Mr. Ito, the Great Harmony Clan's genius Designer." Singh smiled contentedly. "Truly, he is exceptionally clever."
"To be frank with you, this prince personally has 20 warships, all of which are top-tier cruisers on Azure Star! Among them are also 5 battlecruisers! Equipped with heavy artillery systems."
"Additionally, there are 10 torpedo gunboats!"
"Just this prince's naval units alone are more than 30."
Ito Hidekazu also started to laugh, his laughter tinged with a hint of disdain.
"I also brought 10 warships into the dungeon, along with many of my Dahe Clan's cutting-edge naval weapons."
"Furthermore, there are also many LV2 teammates in this dungeon, all with their own naval combat weapons. Overall, our naval power is greater than the enemy's."
"The only disadvantage is that our current numbers are less than 7,000, while the enemy has 30,000, but Prince Singh should also know that in modern warfare, weapons are key."
While speaking, Ito Hidekazu, holding a megaphone, slowly walked from the command center back to the open area where the Challengers were gathered.
He began to boost the morale of all the Challengers.
"Everyone, think about it: why can Lin Ye design such a large map, yet only set the mission objective as a small military base?"
"I'll tell everyone!"
"That's because he simply doesn't possess such vast technological support; the combat power he actually controls is just one military base."
"All other packaging is an illusion."
The more Ito Hidekazu spoke, the more excited he became, a highly playful smile appearing on his face.
"In my opinion, Lin Ye has some talent, but he's too arrogant."
"His dungeon production is more about bluffing, just putting on a brave face."
In truth, deep down, Ito Hidekazu still felt that Lin Ye had some capability.
No matter what was said, being able to create such a complex illusion in his first dungeon certainly qualified him as talented.
But unfortunately, this was a cruel world.
Even a genius, if he took the wrong path, would only be annihilated.
Moreover, Lin Ye had previously ruined his dungeon, Battle of the Imperial Sea; now, for him to ruin Lin Ye's dungeon in the same way was also reasonable and logical.
Such a Huaxia Clan talent, if left alive, would only be a disaster.
He wanted Lin Ye to die!
