Starting From Zero

Chapter 67 Debt Collector

Watching us shaking hands with Aisha, the elite knights of our guild were all whispering behind us.

Knight A sighed: "Oh...why are the president and his wife so 'cheating'? They said they were giving 7 million to buy technology, but in the end they only gave some horses, and they didn't pay a penny anyway!"

Knight B asked in confusion: "But didn't we return the Pegasus?"

"What do you know? Do you know what's popular recently?"

"What's popular?"

"Popular stallions. You have never been responsible for raising horses, so you don't know. Pegasus is simply the god of stallions, and its fertility is absolutely terrifying. Seven million can only buy 7,000 Pegasus. According to the fertility of Pegasus and our guild As long as their reproduction is not controlled, two days will be enough!"

"Then the president, aren't they very dark?"

"Are you new here? It's already known to everyone that the president and his wife are demons!"

"Sneeze." Rose and I suddenly sneezed at the same time. "Strange, why did we catch a cold together? Is someone talking bad about us?" Rose and I turned our heads and looked back at the same time. The knights behind us shuddered when they saw the cold light in the corner of our eyes, and they were still muttering in their hearts: " Sure enough, they are the legendary devil couple, what a terrifying intuition!"

"Then give us back our ore first?"

"OK."

After the agreement was reached, our affairs went very smoothly. Aisha probably also considered that Bai Ye would be easily offended by both sides in our guild in the future, so she deliberately cooperated with us to prevent Bai Ye from being a bad person. We didn't intend to bully anyone, and the two sides became very harmonious after deliberately relaxing. After just completing various transaction provisions, Rose actually recommended that our guild's urban construction team should undertake the urban reconstruction work of the ISA League. We are probably the first company to demolish someone else's city like this and then ask others to spend money to hire their own construction team to rebuild the city. Anyway, I find it weird, but Rose is very adaptable and still has it. I got a pretty good contracting price. I really admire her business skills!

Let’s settle the follow-up questions while Rose is here. I directly chose to pass it back to Essinger, and then went offline directly. Jian Fan and the three of them should have almost adapted to their new bodies.

"Boss, are you back?" Wen Rui shouted as soon as she saw me.

"Boss? Who told you to call me that?"

"That's what I usually call you at the club!"

"But this is not a game. It's better not to call us boss here, otherwise people who don't know will think we are members of the underworld!"

Cao En smiled and said: "How can the underworld be as powerful as us?"

"That's right." Jian Fan lifted it casually, and a dumbbell floated on its own. "This kind of superpower-like technology is really amazing."

I frowned and looked at the three of them for a while, then waved them all to sit on the chairs in the rest area. Finally, I stood in front of them and said seriously: "Maybe it's because I left in the middle. But you The performance did disappoint me a bit.”

Listening to my tone that seemed to be criticizing, Jian Fan and the others' smiles faded.

"Do you know your abilities?"

Cao En originally wanted to say he understood, but when he saw my expression, he quickly changed it to not understanding.

"Just listen to me if you don't understand. Your ability looks like a superpower, and according to the general definition, it can indeed be regarded as a superpower, but the root of this superpower is magnetic control. You know how to use this ability How much energy does it take to lift an object?”

The three of them shook their heads together.

"Thirteen point six times. This is the exact value we calculated. In other words, for the same dumbbell, if you lift it with your own hands and hold it with a magnetic field, the difference in energy consumed in this process is as high as ten Three point six times. The body temperature of our dragons is inherently higher than that of humans. Although you are now using third-generation bodies, so the overheating problem has been solved, the energy consumption is still very high. Under normal circumstances, we are higher than humans It takes twice as much energy to maintain normal life characteristics, and in combat we may consume the energy a human uses in a week every minute. By comparing the two, you can understand how huge our energy consumption is. You guys You may already know this. Dragons eat a lot, which is also a side effect of insufficient metabolic skills, but you should at least know the importance of economy."

Wen Rui asked in a low voice: "You mean we'd better not use super powers at ordinary times?"

I nodded. "If you can complete it with your own hands, never use special abilities, because that will increase your energy consumption by more than ten times. Although our blood contains more energy substances than human blood. But our average energy replenishment interval is only one month, which means if you don't replenish energy for more than a month, you will starve to death." I took out a bottle of energy replenishment liquid and showed it to them. "This is the emergency energy 'fluid' we use. It can take effect within three minutes through intravenous injection. Each tube can support high-intensity combat for half an hour, or normal life for a month. But we usually If you don’t like using these things, you should still focus on eating, after all, you can also enjoy delicious food by the way.”

Wen Rui said with a smile: "Hehe, eating without gaining weight is the dream of most girls."

I continued: "You have nothing to do in the base now. But you will be sent on expeditions in the future, so energy replenishment is a problem. What if there is no suitable energy replenishment in any situation? So you must start from now Develop habits that save physical energy consumption, so that you can survive longer in dangerous and complex environments."

Jian Fan nodded: "I understand what you mean, but do we still need to exercise these special abilities now?"

"I didn't say that you are not allowed to train. It's just that it's best not to use it if you can. Don't use electromagnetic control to even serve tea and pour water. That would be troublesome!" Seeing that all three of them accepted my suggestion, I didn’t continue to talk about them. "Okay, now let's see the success of your training."

"What do you want to see first?" Jian Fan asked excitedly. It seemed that he had long wanted to show off his achievements. I have experienced this feeling before. It's like a child who suddenly gets a favorite toy and is eager to show it off to his friends.

I thought for a moment and said: "Although our bodies are thousands of times larger than those of humans. But I don't recommend blindly pursuing physical combat, so the most important thing is still the use of weapons. Let me see your 'shooting' first It’s about the ability to hit.”

"OK."

We found a shooting area in the training area and started checking their shooting abilities. The results are quite satisfying. The shooting speed of the three Chinese Ruidi is the slowest, but the hit rate of the three is almost the same. The fixed target error within the effective shooting range of the gun is within one millimeter, which means that the gun has ten rings. After activating the cross wind and thermal convection systems in the shooting experimental site, the hit accuracy is still as high as over 999.9 parts per thousand, which can be considered to be an error-free shooting. The hit rate of shooting at moving targets in complex conditions is slightly lower, but still more than 999 per thousand, and dynamic target capture can be carried out in two-way motion. Among them, Jian Fan can even hit two with one shot. The target was flying irregularly, which was a bit beyond my expectations.

"It seems that your shooting ability is very good. Then let me see your fighting ability." I took them to the special training room, then pointed at a pile of steel bars and asked them: "Can you break it with a kick?" ?”

"Huh? So thin?" Jian Fan looked at the steel bars and hesitated.

I walked to the pile of steel bars, picked them up and handed them to the three of them, then turned around and put a few meters away from them. "One by one."

The three people looked at each other, then simultaneously raised a steel bar and threw it over. The moment the steel bar flew in front of me, I suddenly jumped up and kicked in the air. I heard a loud sound as the steel bar as thick as my thumb broke into two pieces in the middle. After the broken steel bar popped out, it was deeply inserted into the ground. Jian Fan immediately ran up and looked at my legs in surprise. "Don't you feel any pain?"

"I knew you were worried about this." I rolled up my trouser legs and showed them, but there were no traces left at all. "Although you have obtained the body of a dragon, your thoughts are still at the human stage. You are afraid of injury and pain, and you dare not try the limits that you could not reach before. Little do you know that that is no longer your limit."

"What do you mean, but this can't be overcome in a while?"

"That's why I need you to practice. For humans, kicking a steel bar can only result in breaking one's own leg. But your bones are made of heavy alloy, and the difference between steel bars and your bones is like the difference between sandwood and ironwood. What's more, this layer of bones is wrapped in a biochemical body that is comparable to steel. Even with muscle strength alone, the steel bar can be easily bent. Kicking it off only requires speed control. But precision is nothing to us dragons. Troublesome, as long as you think about it, the specific operations can be completely handed over to the electronic chip in your head. The extremely precise electronic chip is responsible for precise control, and the biological computer that is good at logical operations is responsible for macro thinking, plus You inherit the autonomic nervous system called morality from human beings individually. This is the control center of the dragon trinity. This is how the dragon family was originally designed, so problems that are very complicated for humans are not problems at all in front of you. "

"Really? Why don't we feel it?" Cao En asked.

"Because the fusion is still in progress. It won't be completely penetrated within three to five months, but you can already use it. If you don't believe it, take a look at this." I wrote three ten-digit numbers on the ground with a steel bar. Yes, he turned around and asked them: "You should be able to know the answer after seeing the calculation. I think you must not have such calculation ability before, right?"

Cao En said in surprise: "Yes! I used to be very slow in arithmetic, but I didn't expect that I can know the answer at a glance now."

Wen Rui said smartly: "If the electronic chip in our head can really think in sync with us, I think we can calculate the result mentally even if an astronomical calculation problem arises."

I nodded: "You can indeed do a small amount of astronomical calculations easily, but your electronic chips still can't handle the real astronomical calculations. I'm just telling you that your body is different from before. Okay. Now try Try kicking a steel bar."

When Jian Fan and the others heard my words, they started to throw a steel bar and try to kick it themselves, but the result was that they all kicked the steel bar away. Not to mention broken, not even bent.

"You are still worried about getting hurt. This is an instinct of self-protection. It may take some time to overcome it. I suggest you consider imagining that the stick in front of you is a newspaper roll. Just try more. What you want to break through is nothing more than As long as you break through the psychological barriers, you can greatly improve your combat effectiveness."

"Okay, we get it."

Under my guidance, the three of them began to intensify their training on how to break through their own psychological bottom line. Among them, Cao En, the stupidest one, became the fastest. People say that fools are heartless, but at this time, such people are more open-minded. People who don't know the rules are not easily restricted by the rules. Smart people know that people are constantly kicking the steel bars, so the psychological obstacles are much more serious than those of stupid people.

It would take a while to watch them train, so I simply let them practice by themselves first. Then it came online again. Rose's side is very efficient. The affairs of the Aisha League have basically been dealt with, and all the magic crystals have been shipped back. When I went online, I happened to see Eagle running towards the conference room, and I quickly followed him.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?"

"Zi Ri? It just so happens that I plan to have someone call you."

"What's going on?"

"Isn't it possible that the emperor's tombstone you brought back will show what is most important to us?"

"That's right. Does it show something else?"

"Of course. Speaking of which, the thing you brought back is really useful. All threatening things can be notified to us in advance, so that many threats are not considered threats, and even if there are some inevitable threats, at least we can have more It takes a lot of time to prepare.”

"You still haven't told me what happened this time?"

"It's not a new problem. It's still the joint attack planned by the ghost-handed Nobunaga and his friends last time."

"Has there been any change?" I asked in surprise.

"It's not so much a change, but it's quite annoying."

"Hate?"

"Well, those damn bastards contacted the people in Indonesia and planned to launch a desperate counterattack to take back the land we occupied in Indonesia."

"Indonesia?" I couldn't help laughing. "Did Nobunaga's head get caught in the door? Indonesia? Hahahaha...!"

"Why are you laughing so hard?"

"Huh? You don't understand?" I looked at the eagle in surprise.

Eagle scratched his head helplessly. "I'm not a bad guy like you, tell me what's going on here?"

"You don't understand this?" I explained: "Indonesia was indeed destroyed by us. But the land was later sold, which means that this place is now owned by the United Nations. Everyone, you take a piece and I will take a piece, which just happens to be the teleportation array. Everything has been built here. Then it became a transportation hub between countries. What do you think? How much profit can the world's material transfer station make? Who will do it if these countries with vested interests spit out such a large piece of cake? Don't talk about Japanese people inciting Indonesians, even if the United States and China incite them together, I guarantee that this place will definitely be monolithic."

"But the problem is that there's already movement over there."

"Huh? Cough cough cough cough..." I choked on my own words and coughed. "What did you say?"

"I said there is action in Indonesia. Each country seems to have its own plan. Anyway, they are constantly increasing their troops there. It seems that all the guilds in the world are planning to have a decisive battle there."

"How could this happen? It shouldn't be!"

"We don't know why, but this is what is displayed on the emperor's tombstone. I asked you to come because I hope you can go in and see what happened."

"It's nothing. Then you go and discuss the countermeasures first. Let Rose tell me the results. I'll go to Indonesia first to take a look."

"Okay, go ahead."

As soon as I touched the teleportation ring, I appeared directly in Garland City. Although our guild occupied a large area of ​​land in Indonesia, most of it was sold later. Now, only Garan (formerly Tanjong Garan in Indonesia), Surprise City (formerly Pekanbaru in Indonesia), and Master City (formerly Pekanbaru, Indonesia) are left. Indonesia's original Tranepura), Lingzhi City (Indonesia's original Palembang), Pure City (Indonesia's original Padang), Sentinel City (Indonesia's original Matalan), Bangka City (Indonesia's original Bangka Island expansion) Although the number of these seven cities is not large, they are all located at strategic points. Just enough to firmly hold the main outlet to the sea. It is a very classic defensive arrangement.

Almost as soon as I walked out of the teleportation array, I saw a large number of foreign players running around like ants. The excitement was definitely scarier than the Beijing Railway Station during the Spring Festival travel rush.

"Dizzy. What's going on?" I looked at the scene in front of me and really didn't know what to say.

"Hey. Are you going in or out? Don't stand blocking the way!" A player shouted as he pushed me away, but his voice became quieter and softer because he had already recognized me.

When I saw his expression, I knew he knew me, so I immediately lifted him up, and then jumped onto a nearby sculpture. "Do you know me?"

"Hey, you're kidding, how can someone in our industry not recognize you?"

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"Me? I work in transportation."

"transportation?"

The other party noticed that I was sizing him up and quickly explained: "I have space equipment. Even if you are the boss of Frost, you don't know the business opportunities in Indonesia. Those of us with space equipment are just like those who have the ability to move quickly. Partner up to engage in transportation. The flow of materials between countries is measured in thousands of tons per minute. Currently, no country has the means to handle this throughput independently. At present, the fastest transportation between countries is your guild The transnational teleportation array, but the charge for that thing is too high, and there are restrictions on material types. Besides, there are some things that people don’t dare to let you see! The second fastest way is to pass here. These cities in Indonesia are controlled by various countries. After buying it, it will count as their territory, and their domestic teleportation array can be built directly here. In this way, they only need to spend the money of domestic teleportation to transfer materials here and then transport them to nearby cities. They will be considered as going abroad. They can only use the other country again. The teleportation array is transmitted back to the other country's interior, so that the transportation process is completed. Although it takes two teleportation arrays in the middle, the advantage is that the throughput is large enough and the price is cheap. Of course. It is not impossible to transport directly by land or sea. , but no one can wait in a hurry at that time."

"Do you understand the fundamentals of this?" I joked with him with a smile.

"We are just the boss of a car, and we use this person's space equipment to do some private work. I said boss, why did you arrest me? I still have the goods. If it is slow, you will be deducted!"

I threw a crystal coin to him casually. "I want to ask you something. It won't take long."

"You tell me." This guy is really money-savvy, and the way he talks seems to be a China expert. This is the first time I have seen a foreigner with such a rustic flavor.

"I would like to ask why there are so many people here? Shouldn't the normal transportation volume be so large?"

"Hehe, you really know how to ask questions." The guy put away the crystal coins and explained: "I am only the owner of a car, so I don't know many secrets, but according to you Chinese people, they call snakes. There is a Rat Way, and I do know something.”

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

"Eh. That's it. The recent news from RB is that RB plans to launch military operations in Indonesia, so the traffic here may be delayed for a while, but this supply and marketing relationship has not disappeared, but Once this trade route is blocked, no matter when it is reopened, it will definitely affect the business system that makes a living on it. In order to deal with this problem, all capable bosses are currently stocking up crazily, hoping to stop the trade route. Stock up on some things before throwing them away. In this way, if the closure is short, you might be able to survive with warehousing supplies."

"It's a good idea. Then let me ask you. Do you know that a large number of troops have appeared in other cities?"

"Oh, you said that all countries are increasing their troops, right? Isn't this difficult to understand?"

"Huh?" I was suddenly asked by a vendor, which stunned me. But my intelligence is not low, and I understood it after thinking about it. "Understood, you can go." I said and threw him down.

In fact, the so-called car boss was right. I should have thought that the problem was not as complicated as I thought. I was too worried, so I made things complicated. In fact, the increase in troops from other countries is not necessarily to participate in the war, but to put existential pressure on us and the Japanese people. In fact, it is easier to understand just by changing the positions of the two sides. If France and Germany want to go to war next to our border, can we not put more troops to guard it? Even if people say they are trying to pinch each other, don't worry! No one would be sure if we didn't send some troops. Besides, what if the other party is cheating? It's an open fight, but it's actually an opportunity to increase troops to invade. Wouldn't you put more troops in the way just to block it and buy time to send backup?

Although the above understanding is relatively simple, I am not a small businessman after all. Our overall view is much further than theirs. The increase of troops can be seen as an attitude of self-defense, but if one side is too excited to fight, the wolves will suddenly rush out and take a bite, so you must be careful about the addition of a third party during the battle, and there are Which of these countries that have increased their troops are for self-protection, and which are in collusion with the Japanese, must be clarified, otherwise it will be bad if they are stabbed in the back.

I found a random place and switched to the Silver Moon state. I summoned Xiaoxue, and then I wandered all the way to the nearby city and started to inquire about them one by one. Spent the whole night checking out most of the nearby cities. The situation is pretty good. Most countries are just worried about their cities being affected. This means that my guess is correct. The Indonesian region is still the main interest area of ​​all countries, so no one is willing to let the balance here been destroyed. But I have to say that there are still people who are crazy this year, because I quickly found one.

"Is it wrong that such a country actually wants to participate in a battle of this level?" When they heard the news I sent back through Rose's Ring of Love, they didn't know whether to cry or laugh, because I found out The country that wants to cooperate internally and externally with RB is actually Nicaragua. To be honest, I didn't even know they bought land here before. But speaking of it, I don’t know and that’s right, because what they bought was not a city, but a village. How much money do you think a guild in such a small country can have? I’m already surprised to be able to buy a village.

"Are you sure it's Nicaragua?" Hongyue's voice also came out.

I leaned behind a sculpture and whispered: "Please think about how to deal with the problem here, okay? I haven't found out. Is it possible to tell you?"

"What else do we need from a country like that? You can just kill it." Hongyue's answer was really simple.

"You're talking lightly, do you know where the village you bought in Nicaragua is?"

"where?"

"Next to Fiat Castle!"

"What? You mean the fortified city that the French built after they bought the land?"

"Of course. Apart from it, what other city can make me dare not even move? You said these two places are so close. What if the French think I want to attack them after I start a fight?"

"Just let me know first." Da Guofan spoke without thinking.

In the image displayed by the Ring of Love, Su Mei knocked on the big pot: "You are such a big man and you don't even think about it. We just attacked the ISA League in France. Although the reason is on our side, the French are on the side. From a standpoint, they are at a disadvantage. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad. The French naturally don't like us now. Besides, in this chaotic situation, we are originally afraid that the French will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If they don't notify them, they will If you don't understand the situation, you don't dare to move randomly. Once you really say hello in advance, I guarantee that they will arrive immediately as soon as Brother Ziri takes action."

"Do they still dare to confront us?" Daguofan said again.

"Of course I don't dare to do it openly. It's definitely okay to do it secretly. Maybe after you finish the fight, they will bring a group of people to occupy the fruits of your labor in the name of helping you defend. It's not like they have never done this before. And even if they are occupied We can't really fall out with them, after all, we don't plan to go to full-scale war with France."

“Politics is so troublesome!”

Su Mei said: "Politics is about the exchange of interests and the control of human nature. Now it seems that the overall attitude in France towards our guild is neutral to hostile, so in order to ensure that you can normally enter and leave France in the future, it is best not to create any more Disputes are better.”

Rose suddenly asked: "What if I could find you a powerful helper?"

"Help? You don't want to send her here, do you?" Rose and I have always had a high tacit understanding, and I knew who she was talking about as soon as she opened her mouth. At present, there are many guests in our guild, but there are only two people who can really be sent to help me fight, and one of them is not very cooperative. So exclude it directly. The remaining one will definitely not run away.

After Rose heard what I guessed, she immediately asked: "Do you want it? She is Nuwa's maid after all, and the upper gods have no regional restrictions. It's no problem to go abroad to fight. With my eloquence, it should be no problem to persuade her to help. , what do you think? Do you want me to send her there? "

I pondered for a moment and said, "I'm worried that if she comes here, she will accidentally perform a land-sinking trick and send the entire Indonesian peninsula to the bottom of the sea!"

"She's just a maid after all. She's not that strong, right?" Rose's tone of voice was not very strong, and it was obvious that she had no foundation.

"Then why don't you first ask her what kind of combat effectiveness she can achieve, and then we can understand it clearly. I'll go to the French first, maybe I can find something."

"Okay, I'll contact you in twenty minutes."

After cutting off the communication I quickly left the village that the Nicaraguans had bought and went directly to the Fiat Castle. It's really hard to understand the French people's thinking. You said that Indonesia is humid and rainy. The ground is as rotten as a swamp, and large weapons cannot be used at all. They actually built a city like a fortress. It is really incomprehensible.

While Rose was going to learn about Moling's situation, I first walked around the entire castle. The castles built by Europeans are not as big as those built in our country, and they were completed in a short time. The overall feeling is that Fiat Castle looks more like a military fortress than a commercial stronghold. Generally speaking, Indonesia is not a strategic location. The reason why it is important now is entirely because the commercial and transportation hubs of various countries are here, so it has become so important. But once someone uses force to break this pattern, they will grab all the land. Then this land will be worthless, so generally speaking, no one will care about it. But now my reconnaissance results show that the French do not seem to intend to only do business here, because according to the current development pattern of the city, it has far exceeded the requirements for defense.

Just as I finished checking the situation here, I contacted Rose and arrived. "Husband, how is the situation over there?"

"I can't explain a word or two here. Please tell me first what Mo Ling said."

"She agreed to help. But she is not in our city now. It takes some time to get from Nuwa's residence in the God Realm to the lower world, so you have to wait another three hours. As for the attack power, you can rest assured. Once she comes, she will not be released. She can produce that level of magic. Secondly, she will also try to restrain herself from using power. Okay, now let’s talk about the situation on your side.”

"What I have here is that the French have a problem with their Fiat castle."

"Problem? What problem?"

"You know that the road framework here in Indonesia can no longer be described as rotten, but they have built a super fortress in this almost swamp-like place. What do you think they are doing?"

"It's not performance art anyway."

"So I infer that the French are doing something secretly that we don't know about, but I can't figure out what they are going to do at the moment. But I have the worst inference here."

"You don't need to say anything, I've already thought of it." Rose seemed to understand what I was worried about. "In that case, how about we play a trick to scare the snake away?"

"What do you mean...? Hey, you are indeed my wife, and I want to be together."

"Then let's get started."

"ok."

I quickly left the Fiat Castle. Then I ran outside the small village bought by the Nicaraguans, and then called Ling out and asked her to control my summoned creatures. I myself only took Emmenis and the darts and ran back to the Fiat Castle. After I issued the order through telepathic contact, Ling began to mobilize my summoned creatures to quietly surround the small village bought by the Nicaraguans.

In fact, this village can't be considered a village at all. This place should be called a field supply point. The entire village is shaped into an irregular, approximately square shape, with a side length of less than thirty meters. The buildings in the village are all grass and wood structures. Except for the stone floors, there are almost no bricks or stones. There is a small square in the center of the village, and in the middle of the square is the teleportation array. But this teleportation array is very small. Even if you stand close to the point, you can teleport up to three to five people at a time. There is a circle of houses outside the square, including the necessary grocery store and blacksmith shop in the leveling area. But grocery stores only buy small medicines, and it is almost impossible to find special medicines. Apart from blood replenishing medicines and magic rejuvenation medicines, they are all in small bottles. The blacksmith shop is even better. It can only repair equipment but not sell anything. Moreover, because the blacksmith level is too low, it can only repair equipment up to the elite equipment level. Holy Spirit equipment and artifacts cannot be repaired. The remaining few houses include a small restaurant, a village chief's house, and four villagers' houses. Then there are two warehouses, which are all the buildings in the village. Surrounding this circle of houses is a wooden fence, only 1.9 meters high, and made entirely of sparse twigs. It basically has no effect except to ward off wild beasts. Not to mention siege weapons, just a mage. It won't take long to knock down the fence without using magic or a staff.

The village is a little run down, but considering the number of Nicaraguan citizens and their wealth. It is not easy to buy such a village.

Ling Qi sat on Ye Ying's back and carefully observed the situation in the village through the eagle eye technique, then slowly raised his right hand and waved forward vigorously. Scott saw Lingdi's gesture and immediately shouted: "Dow the bow."

With a clatter, all the Qilin warriors took off their riding bows from their mounts and mounted an arrow. Their neat movements brought a neat sound. The people in the village had actually discovered that they were surrounded outside, but there were too few of them and they didn't know what to do.

Scott didn't care that much. Seeing that the Qilin Warrior was ready, he immediately continued to give the order: "Lift."

Wow, more than 10,000 longbows were opened at the same time and aimed at the village.

"Starting from the first echelon, there are ten seconds between each echelon. Throw it in an arc. Release."

With a clatter, the first row of unicorn warriors in the first echelon simultaneously released their right hands holding the bowstring, and their arrows immediately flew out. Just a little slower than them, just when the arrows of the first row of Qilin warriors left the bow arm less than one meter away, the second row of Qilin warriors also loosened their bowstrings, followed closely by the third row, fourth row and one row. The platoon's arrows were fired, but as a result, all the arrows reaching the first row had fallen into the village. There were still many people in the first echelon who had not let go yet.

This kind of echelon shooting is mainly to widen the time difference. Let the arrow rain maintain an appropriate density. After all, there are more than 10,000 people here, and the village is only so big. If so many arrows are thrown together, most of them will definitely collide with each other and fall down. It is better to maintain a rough spatial density and a longer period of time in this way, which can not only achieve a better killing effect, but also completely destroy the enemy's confidence.

After the rain of arrows, the Nicaraguans in the village and the foreigners passing by were all so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They all huddled in the house and made no move. Ling winked at Scott, who immediately ordered again: "Change the grappling hook."

"Yes." More than a thousand Kirin warriors suddenly rushed out of the cavalry, but they had already hung their bows back on the shoulders of the Kirin beasts, and were waving long grappling hooks in their hands.

The people in the village watched the cavalry rushing towards them but did not dare to come out to defend themselves. The nearly 10,000 bows outside were not a good look. The first batch of Qilin warriors rushed to the fence outside the village and immediately threw out their hooks. The twig fence was full of holes. It's just too easy for the grappling hook to catch. Two grapple hooks accurately hung on the two corners of the fence, and more grapple hooks flew up, covering the entire fence with grapple hooks.

A Qilin warrior leading the team immediately shouted: "Pull" after seeing that the grappling hooks were all in place. All the Qilin warriors immediately turned around and started to pull back. They heard a bang and the fence, which was not very strong, was pulled instantly. The earth was torn apart.

Scott waved forward again, and another thousand-man team rushed out. After passing by the previous thousand-man team, this thousand-man team rushed directly into the village. Countless hooks flew to the roof, and with a bang, the roof of the entire house was dragged down. The Qilin warriors behind immediately Throw the grappling hook up and hook it to the top edge of the wall, then pull it back sharply. The four walls of the house fell down one after another amid the continuous rumblings. It only takes a few minutes. Most of the buildings in this small village had been demolished by the Qilin Warriors, and the people inside knew by this time that there was no way to survive. So everyone began to prepare for a counterattack, but who knew that the Qilin Warrior suddenly grabbed him and ran away.

Just as the villagers looked puzzled, the thousand-man team had returned to their main formation, but a passage suddenly jumped out of the way. The villagers didn't even see what was at the end of the passage. Anyway, they only saw it. A colorful light belt flew into the village, and then they all went to the Resurrection Hall for a party.

The fact is just like what is happening, in view of the unknown behavior of the French, I changed the occupation mission of the village to complete destruction. Even if the French come to cause trouble halfway, it is impossible to save the village. However, the French behaved quite strangely. After the Nicaraguan village was attacked, the French army suddenly began to gather. Then just when I thought they were going to 'step in', the team suddenly opened out from the city gate in the opposite direction.

I quickly activated the ring of love. "Honey, there's something going on here."

"What's the matter?"

"The French troops came out of the city from the opposite side."

"The other side?" Rose quickly waved to the NPC next to her in Essinger's conference room to help her unfold the map. Then I started looking for it on the map. "On the other hand, the nearest city is where the British are. The French wouldn't be such idiots to attack the British, right?"

"Obviously impossible, but what if they colluded?"

"Collusion? I never thought of this, but I really don't know what they can do if they collude together. Maybe the British and French are just planning to make strategic adjustments? But this doesn't seem to make sense."

Suddenly a lightbulb flashed in my mind. "Do you think they might want to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"

"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Rose paused for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "I understand. Do you still remember what was shown on the tombstone of the Empress and the Queen?"

"Remember."

"Ghost-hand Nobunaga said at that time that if we attack the enemy, we must save it, but we never knew where they were going to attack and let us save it. Now that you remind me, I have figured it out. It is not us who the Japanese people want to attack. Guild, but Ashford’s Iron Crusaders.”

"Then where do you think their attack target will be? Ashford is considered the most powerful person in Germany. If they launch a full-scale attack, there is no need to expect any results within a few months."

"Iron Cross City." Rose said with certainty.

"The newly built guild headquarters city of the Iron Crusaders? Hey, that place is modeled after our Essinger. It would be a miracle if it could be dug underground!"

"But you have to understand that although Iron Cross City is built after Essinger's structure, its area is much smaller after all. Besides, they don't have as much defense power as we do."

"So you think Iron Cross City may fall?"

"Unlikely." Rose replied: "The strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is called besieging Wei, not destroying Wei. Its main goal is to attack the places where the enemy must protect so as to attract enemies from other places and annihilate them during the transfer. In this strategy, Wei is not the focus of the attack. As long as the opponent maintains a state of strategic suppression, even if the mission is accomplished, it doesn't matter whether they can win the battle, because our Zhao is their real target."

After listening to Rose's words, I nodded solemnly. "It's true from what you said. We knew in advance from the tombstone of the Empress that the Ghost Hands Nobunaga was encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, but we still found it a bit tricky. If we didn't know in advance, then they would really attack Iron Cross. We will definitely send a large number of troops to rescue the city. After that, as long as they continue to increase the pressure, all our troops will be attracted. At this time, they will use another ambush to attack Essinger and other big cities. Even if they cannot capture them all It is absolutely no problem to occupy one or two places. And once all the troops of our guild are attracted to Europe, it will be difficult for the Chinese guilds on the mainland of Japan to independently resist the Japanese attack. The territory will be taken back again."

"You are right, but fortunately we know the enemy's plan. The problem now is how to arrange defense."

I thought for a moment and said, "This matter is very serious. I think it would be best for me to go back and discuss it with everyone."

"Then I summon you back."

"Wait a minute, my team is still outside the village. You can summon them after I get them back. Use this time to gather them together first."

Rose and I both moved very quickly, and half an hour later we were already discussing in the conference room. Rose explained the outline of the matter and our inferences, and everyone felt suddenly enlightened upon hearing it. The information we got from the Emperor Tianhou's tombstone was just a piece of information. With my discovery today and Rose's inference, it's easy for everyone to connect everything together.

"The question now is how we should respond to this strategy." Rose said: "Before, because we could not figure out the enemy's plan, we could only continue to increase our troops in various cities. Now that we have clearly understood the enemy's plan, we What to do?”

Su Mei leaned on her seat and held her chin with one hand and said like a little adult: "I was wondering if I could consider taking action before the enemy?"

Rose shook her head: "I don't agree. Generally speaking, the enemy must have a normal defense strategy to deal with general attacks before taking action, so the effect of a surprise attack is not good, and the sudden effect of knowing the news cannot be fully utilized. So I think it is not Suitable for attacking before the enemy."

"Then the most appropriate time should be after the enemy's attack is launched?" Da Guofan asked.

I clapped my hands to signal everyone to pay attention to me. "I think you have misunderstood the focus of the discussion. Now it is not about studying when we will take action. It is about formulating effective countermeasures against the enemy's actions. And what should we do with the Iron Crusaders?"

Su Mei spread her hands and said: "The Iron Crusaders have an easy solution. There are only two methods, one is to save and the other is not to save. Which one do you think is better?"

Rose said: "If we save it, it will definitely affect our overall strategy, so it is not cost-effective. But if we don't save it, it will definitely affect our relationship with the Iron Crusaders. This is really...!"

Hongyue tapped the table with her fingers and said: "Ghost-hand Nobunaga said before that he must save the enemy if he attacks him. Now it seems that his calculation is very good. Even if we know it is a trap, we still have to jump in."

Rose followed: "Well, since you have decided to jump, there are only two ways to avoid getting hurt."

"What can I do?" Shura Ziyi asked.

"There are two ways." Sumei said: "The first is to narrow the target so that the trap cannot catch you. In response to this incident, it is said that we send fewer people to rescue, so that we can send troops to help the Iron Crusaders without affecting Our overall strategy, but one problem now is that this speed is very difficult to control. Besides, if we only send a few people to the Iron Crusaders for help, it obviously doesn’t look good, and it won’t be good for our reputation in the future.”

"What about the second one?" Shura Ziyi asked.

"That would be even simpler. Just use overwhelming power that exceeds the upper limit of the trap's capacity to cross the trap at once. This is like the opponent digging a trap to catch a tiger, but even if a dinosaur walks over, Don’t worry if you step on a trap, you can just step out of it in one step.”

"I think this second method is better." Shura Ziyi said.

"But the problem is that the soldiers have been sent out, what should we do here?"

Rose slapped the table and said: "Why don't we come up with a plan to draw out the firepower, and we don't care about both sides. How about just raiding the other side's hometown?"

The God of War, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "If this is the plan, I can devise a very good tactic."

The God of War is a battlefield management computer, but he is a computer after all, and his creative thinking is a little bit poor, so he can't think of a solution before the plan comes out. But once he decides on a plan, he can maximize the effectiveness of the soldiers within the scope of the plan. This is the characteristic of battlefield management computers.

Now that the God of War has spoken, we don't have to choose another plan. We just need to listen to the God of War. Dealing with details is his specialty.

"Tell me about your arrangements." I said to the God of War.

"Since we have to drain the firepower, let's do it more thoroughly." The God of War suddenly walked to the wall and began to explain to the world map hanging on the wall: "Since Nobunaga with ghost hands likes to play the trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, then we should also confront him. Just for fun, let’s see who outplays whom. Look. Their current plan is to unify the forces of some guilds in Britain and France to attack the Iron Cross City, the headquarters of the Iron Crusaders, and then take advantage of the empty troops when we go to rescue by rb, The guilds of the United States and Country H jointly attacked our homeland and took the opportunity to regain the occupied areas of rb. What we have to do is neither to care about the homeland nor to save Iron Cross City. We directly attack the headquarters of the British and French guilds participating in the war and those It is the headquarters of the American, Korean and Japanese guilds. The Iron Cross City of the Iron Crusaders is a majestic city. Even if we don't save it, we will definitely be able to survive for three to five days. It is even less necessary for the cities of our guild. Having said that, based on Zi Ri’s tortoise character, all the cities in our guild are built like bunkers. Even if he faces ten times the enemy, it will be absolutely no problem to block him for ten days and a half. So at least within three days Neither we nor Ashford will have any big losses in any city. As for some small cities, I think they can be given up completely. They are of little value anyway."

Rose added: "Since we have to abandon small cities, it is better to do it more thoroughly and concentrate our forces to defend large cities. Then evacuate the small cities, plant explosive devices in the cities, and leave some death squads to fight with the enemy. Finally, wait for the enemy Once everyone enters the city, we will...boom...world peace."

The eagle's face looked strange and asked: "Is this move too harsh?"

The God of War said categorically: "No, this plan is very good. It is a very cost-effective deal to sacrifice some sacrificial parts in exchange for a greater victory. Then, the rest is to see how many cities we can knock down in three days. .”

Ziyue suddenly asked: "What should we do about the distribution of troops? How many people should be left for defense?"

"This requires intelligence support, so we won't consider it for now. Now you all go and collect as much intelligence as you can."

"learn."

"Ah, that's right." I said to Hongyue: "Please go to the Iron Crusaders and tell them to recruit troops quickly to prepare for the battle. But don't reveal that we already know that the enemy is going to attack. The only way is not to let them Only when Nobunaga and the others know the news can we achieve the greatest results."

Rose stood up with a smile and said: "Then I will contact the buyer first. After this time, we may have to hold another city auction."

The eagle asked me: "Then what are you doing?"

"Of course I'm going to do public relations. We're doing business in Heaven, but there are also dividends. I can't let everything go to me. They just get the benefits, right?"

"That makes sense, come back with more scrapes." Big Pot Rice said goodbye to me with the expression of a great harvest.

I nodded seriously. "Don't worry, no matter what happens this time, I have to let the Jade Emperor peel off some skin for me."

"Sneeze." The Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace sneezed for no reason. "Strange. Why do I feel like my spinal cord is numb? I always feel like I have a bad premonition!"

"Report..." An immortal official ran to the Jade Emperor and knelt down in front of him.

"What's up?"

"That purple sun is here again."

"Is the Purple Sun here?" The Queen Mother sitting nearby heard the report and immediately said to the Jade Emperor: "Now I know why you have a bad premonition!"

"I know it too." The Jade Emperor hurriedly said to the immortal official who passed the message: "You will call him in later. Someone. Go and find some tattered clothes for me. Also, remove all the immortal fruits here, that Someone, please move the tables and chairs here, and go to the immortals’ mansions to see if there are any broken tables, benches, etc. and bring some. And over there..."

Half an hour later I finally saw the Jade Emperor, but the scene in front of me made me a little stunned. The beautiful Yaochi Wonderland has completely changed. The colorful lotus flowers in the water are blooming beautifully, but the people on the shore look like a bunch of beggars. If it weren't for the clouds under my feet. I thought I had gone the wrong way and arrived at the Beggar Clan’s chief helm! As for the objects around these people... the chair the Jade Emperor sits on is obviously antique, and I feel like I have seen it somewhere before. The table next to it was actually missing a leg, and there was a pile of bricks propped up underneath it, which looked dangerous. There was a wine jug and four cups on the table. I remember they were arranged like this last time, but I remember that the jug was clearly a jade jug. How come it turned into pottery in the blink of an eye? And there's actually a crack on it. What's even more exaggerated are the four cups. When I came here last time, I clearly remembered that they were four blood jade cups. It is said that the cup can be used as a blood bottle to drink from if you use it to fill water. It is called an artifact. However, what I see now are four white pottery cups, especially the one used by the Jade Emperor. There is even a mouth missing, and he is not afraid of opening his mouth. Cut it! Looking further to the side, similar things abound. The golden lamps became a floor of rotten wood, and the white jade screen became a screen of rotten wood. There was a big piece broken in the middle. The fairies on both sides are dressed like village girls, the kind of girls from poor families. Those generals wore cloth clothes with patches on top of each other. If you didn't tell them, they thought they were some masters of the Beggar Clan.

I stared at the scene in front of me for a while before I came to my senses. "Wow! Has heaven been robbed?"

"Thieves?" The Jade Emperor pretended to smile bitterly: "How can there be any thieves here who are willing to come here? Look at how dilapidated this place is? The thieves are afraid that the things they steal will not be enough for travel expenses!"

"Isn't it? Jade Emperor, you can't do this even if you cry about poverty? Am I that terrible? Do you regard me as a class enemy?"

"Crying poor? Do I need to cry? I am so poor!" The Jade Emperor complained to me with tears and snot in his nose: "You think that our heaven is called a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, so we have to spend money to support it, right? You still have to spend money to support me?" Those mythical beasts are indispensable wherever they are enshrined, aren't they? Heaven doesn't have as many industries as you do in the lower world. It's not easy for us to support ourselves until now with only incense money! But don't worry Ziri, I know you are here for sure. If you need help, just ask, if you need anything, Heaven will tighten its belt and support you."

Dizzy, I was completely dizzy. It seems like I didn’t scratch them much the last time I came here? Could someone pretend to be me and come to heaven? Why are the people in Heaven more afraid of me than debt collectors? "That... Jade Emperor! Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

"No!" The Jade Emperor replied excitedly: "Who said we had a misunderstanding? That's trying to sow discord between us. Didn't I say that? If you have any requests, just ask."

"You're all like this, can't I borrow a dog-beating stick from you?"

"What? Dog-beating stick? What is that? Wait..." The Jade Emperor took two steps back and stared at me in horror: "You don't want to beat the dragon whip, do you? That is my horse-driving whip, you can You can’t be so greedy!”

"Well, please wait a moment." I felt more and more that the Jade Emperor's reaction was abnormal, so I quickly turned around and backed away for a while, and then activated the ring of love to contact Rose. "Honey, who in our guild has been to heaven recently?"

"Heaven? I've just been there."

"What?" Well, now I understood everything. People say that I am like a wild goose and have a lot of hair, no matter where I go, I have to shave three feet. That is actually because I often run outside, so I have more opportunities to do this kind of thing. I really want to say that this aspect is amazing. She is the real expert, but fortunately she usually doesn't come out, otherwise no one would dare to deal with our guild. "Hey, let me ask you, what did you and the Jade Emperor get here?"

"What's wrong? Are they making things difficult for you?"

"It can't be said that it's an embarrassment. The Jade Emperor has now arranged the Heavenly Court like a beggar's den. He cried out when he saw me. I originally planned to buy some soldiers from him, but I didn't expect that he is now full of bubbles. I don't even know how to follow him. What did he say?"

Rose said aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything to him! Isn't it just a settlement?"

"Settling accounts? What accounts are you settling?"

"It's how much benefit our guild has helped Heavenly Court, and how much support Heavenly Court has given us. Finally, I digitized all these things and calculated them for the Jade Emperor. I asked him to nod for every small item and detail, but in the end Once the details were added up, he stopped working."

"What calculation did you make to scare people like this?"
