The five elite players quickly set up traps.
Spike Trap, priced at 200 reward points.
Poison Blast Landmine, priced at 350 reward points.
Flame Trigger, priced at 300 reward points.
...
Seven trap items, a total of 1500 reward points.
If all were triggered instantly, even a Spectre General would struggle.
After all, being deep within the Ghost Soldiers army, they had no room for error; it had to be an instant kill, or they would be overwhelmed by the tide of Ghost Soldiers.
The entire spacious hall was completely covered by trap items; as long as one trap was triggered, the remaining traps would detonate in a chain reaction.
Ordinary Ghost Soldiers have 300 health points.
The killed Ghost Captain had 700 health points.
The total damage caused when all traps detonated was a terrifying four thousand points.
Even if the Spectre General was powerful, he couldn't withstand the full trap explosion.
Of course, this was the most perfect scenario.
The Spectre General was not a muddle-headed ordinary ghost; he possessed intelligence, and whether defending or evading, much of the trap damage would be wasted.
Mei Terumi's expectation was merely to injure the Spectre General.
The subsequent beheading operation would be completed by her.
Silent waiting.
All players in the beheading squad held their breath, hiding in the dark corners of the castle hall, poised to strike.

Mysterious Merchant: Detailed intelligence revealed: the Spectre General commands the external defensive forces of the ruined castle. Defeating him will clear all surrounding Ghost Soldiers, preventing them from respawning.
Spectre General guaranteed drops: ghost flag (can summon Ghost Soldiers by consuming chakra), Ghost Captain's Malicious Longsword (melee strength-based weapon), Ghost Captain's Obsession (consumable to increase strength attribute), Spectre General's Blade Skill Insights (can learn passive skill [Blade Skill Mastery] upon use)...
Weakness Revealed: The Spectre General possesses extremely keen perception. Non-assassin class players will need to purchase stealth items to approach him.
"No wonder, we haven't broken through the outer defenses of the ruined castle for two whole days. So, if the Spectre General doesn't die, the Ghost Soldiers can continuously respawn."
"The Mysterious Merchant only revealed shallow intelligence about the Spectre General before. Why is he even revealing his weakness this time? Could it be that someone is about to break through the outer defenses?"
All players saw the announcement from the Mysterious Merchant, each with their own thoughts.
Whether it was the Vampire Baron or the Spectre General, the Mysterious Merchant only revealed intelligence after a player accidentally encountered a Pollution Monster.
Now, suddenly revealing the Spectre General's intelligence, it was highly probable that a player had already encountered the Spectre General.
Outside the ruined castle, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.
Although the players fought fearlessly, the Ghost Soldiers were densely packed, making it impossible to break through in a short time, let alone reach the Spectre General.
"There's a player who raided the inside of the castle. This method, it must be a ninja player!"
As expected of one of the few strategists from the combat-oriented Cloud Hidden Village, Mabui quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
Her brows furrowed.
She didn't care about the generous rewards dropped after hunting the Spectre General.
Most importantly, the plan to establish the Cloud Hidden Alliance, centered around Cloud Hidden ninjas and recruiting scattered players, had just begun. Although many players had already joined, this state was extremely unstable.
Once another ninja squad obtained the first kill on the Spectre General and shared the same idea of forming an alliance, the newly joined scattered players would definitely switch allegiance instantly.
What she worried about most was Mei Terumi's team from the Hidden Mist Village.
Behind the screen, the White-haired Loli asked curiously, "Master, if you don't reveal the intelligence, wouldn't the Spectre General's strength allow the beheading squad players to consume more reward points?"
She didn't quite understand her master's actions.
"This is called casting a long line to catch a big fish."
Fang Yi smiled, "After revealing the intelligence, the smart players will all react, especially since I specifically revealed the matter of stealth items. They will actively purchase expensive stealth items, then bypass the Ghost Soldiers' defenses and directly enter the castle's interior."
"The wealthy beheading squad will also realize this, and soon other players will adopt similar methods to break into the castle.
"For hunting the Spectre General, setting aside other things, just the reward points consumed for purchasing group teleportation scrolls and trap items is a large sum. They definitely wouldn't want the Spectre General to be snatched by other players, so they must kill the Spectre General in an extremely short amount of time."
Pausing, Fang Yi looked at the White-haired Loli and asked, "The Spectre General, a Level 10 Ghost Warrior, with the attribute bonuses of a full Level 10 green set, and all his skills at Level 5. Even if the beheading squad has the Level 9 Flame Mage Mei Terumi, it's impossible to take him down quickly. If it were you, what would you do?"
The White-haired Loli hesitated, "Buy items?"
"Smart!"
Fang Yi rubbed her little head and chuckled, "After the game update, the drop rate for various equipment and materials has significantly increased. Many players are already consciously saving reward points, only buying some recovery potions in the Store, and relying on luck for other equipment and items."
"After all, ordinary players in reality have no factional constraints and ample time, so they feel no urgency whatsoever. As long as they can persevere, they will eventually grind out a full set of equipment."
"Therefore, the largest source of purchases for items in the Store comes from these major Ninja World forces that want to extend their reach into the Reincarnation Game."
"To secure a place in the Reincarnation Game, they must possess greater strength than ordinary players, which means they can only grit their teeth and purchase various powerful items from the Store, even knowing it's not cost-effective."
"Unless they are willing to watch other Ninja Villages dominate the Newbie Village!"
This was an open scheme; even if a strategist player could see through it, they could only swallow their bitterness.
However, Konoha Hidden Village was different.
Fang Yi's gaze fell on the Konoha Squad, who had also purchased stealth items and intended to organize a sneak attack.
Despite being the strongest Ninja Village in reality, possessing countless talented ninjas and the largest population resources, their performance in the game was disappointing.
Although Asuma worked tirelessly, and even someone as thick-headed as Naruto Uzumaki had vaguely sensed the massive changes the Reincarnation Game would bring.
Yet, precisely because of this, the Hokage and Danzo in reality, as well as the elders in the political department, were particularly resistant to the Reincarnation Game.
They still clung to the beautiful dream of being the strongest Ninja Village, a heavenly dynasty, unwilling to awaken.
The Sannin, Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha, Hyuga, Minato Namikaze...
The cradle that nurtured countless geniuses, it definitely once had the opportunity to end the Ninja Village system and unify the Ninja World.
But for various reasons, it became a large piece of fatty meat in the eyes of neighboring countries.
Ultimately, the Fire Will had problems.
Where the leaves dance, the Fire Will burn...
Fang Yi did not want to judge the good or bad of a will and belief.
However, whether governing a Ninja Village or an empire, what is needed are concrete laws and systems. Relying solely on the Fire Will as a belief and personal preferences to govern a huge force, the outcome is obvious.
If they still don't react, perhaps Konoha Hidden Village will truly face the worst outcome.
