Chapter 171 The Trouble Caused by the Unexpected Armistice

"We...!" Red Lotus Phoenix wanted to explain something else, but I didn't give her any chance. The surrounding temperature suddenly began to rise sharply, and the Red Lotus Phoenix and several people around it were covered in smoke.

"Since you dare to ignore my words, you must be prepared to pay the price. If you want to withdraw from the car, you should do it as soon as possible. As for now... you can go and die." Following my words, the people around me began to scream, and the temperature suddenly rose. It exceeded the limit of what they could bear, and all the people who rushed up instantly turned into a pile of fly ash and disappeared into the air. After burning all these people, I instantly put away the flames on my body and exited the Suzaku transformation mode. The consumption like this now is too terrifying, and I don't want to waste another divine fruit when I am exhausted.

After glancing at the gunman from a distance, the other party seemed to understand what I meant and immediately turned around and left with the rest of the people. As for me, I stood there and stared at them until they disappeared from sight before finally collapsing. In fact, the consumption just now has reached my limit, but I don't want to eat other magical fruits for the time being, so I refuse to show weakness and hold on until now. Now that everyone has gone away, I don't need to hold on any longer.

"Come out and help me!" I sat on the ground and directed my magic pet to help me pick up things.

"It's so easy to use high-end equipment!" Ling looked at the thing in front of him and sighed: "What is so awesome?"

I complained angrily: "It's not that damn big beetle! It died so violently. Why do you think it had nothing to do with so many equipment? If I hadn't had the magic fruit and the sacred beast transformation to overwhelm the formation. We must have been divided by those wolves just now!"

"But these are all ours now. It's a good thing that we are lucky." Xiaochun said as he grabbed a staff and tried to pick it up, but he pulled himself down when he tried hard. "Huh? Why can't you pick this thing up?"

"Same here!"

My magic pet finally discovered a problem. All the equipment was stuck on the ground and couldn't be pulled out no matter what. Lucky even tried to grab it directly in the form of a dragon, but still couldn't pick it up.

"What's the matter if you can't pick up so many good things?" Yeyue asked while tugging on a long sword.

"You guys keep an eye on me first, I'll find someone to ask." Open the Phoenix Dragon Space and let the Bell Knight directly carry me on a stretcher to the palace of the Mother of the Earth. When she saw me coming in, the Mother of the Earth said nothing. Talked about it.

"You don't have to ask, I know what you want to ask."

"Oh? So you know what's going on?"

"Of course, but you have to pay a price for me to tell you."

"Isn't it?"

"There is no free lunch in the world, and I can't tell you my news in vain. It's good to be able to provide you with answers. Don't go too far. Besides, my request is not too much."

"Okay, first tell me what the price is?"

"Actually, it's not a big price. I just hope that you can help us find out the specific reason why the high-level servant god was summoned as soon as possible. The information given to us last time was too simple. We need detailed methods and processes."

"If you don't tell me this, I will do it as soon as possible!"

"That's good." Mother Earth said and touched her face with one hand. A water mirror suddenly appeared in front of us, and an image was displayed on the mirror. After watching it, I almost screamed with anger. This video is very brief, but it answers my question very clearly. The first scene in the water mirror was the scene of the big explosion after the big beetle was killed. As the scene zoomed out and locked behind a ruins, none of us had noticed that there was another person hiding here - Venus. . Although she is not a top ranked expert, Venus has a very large influence in Europe after all. In addition, she is one of the initiators of the incident, so we also included her in the previous operations to eliminate pests. , but she is mainly responsible for coordinating unified actions among various guilds, and has not been assigned the task of directly fighting pests. Now that she appears here, it seems a bit strange. But what really pissed me off was what happened next. When the beetles exploded, Venus was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed many times in an instant. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly took out a small bottle from her body and drank it in one gulp. The 'liquid' body in it. Her eyes started to sparkle after drinking that stuff. It was a very special light that looked like gold, but also had a bit of red, a bit like the color of oxidized gold plating. After finishing all this, she just stood up and stared at me from a distance for a while, then turned and left, but that was enough, because the equipment that could not be picked up was now flashing with the same eyes as hers. of light. No matter what she used, it was obvious that the reason why the equipment couldn't be picked up was entirely her fault. I can even think of what she needs to do next. All she had to do was wait. After I spent a lot of effort to find that the thing cannot be picked up, I will gradually relax my care of the thing. After all, I can't stay here forever. Masters from other guilds will also come to experiment in the future, but of course everyone Like me, everyone will find it impossible to pick up these things. Finally, when everyone loses interest in this thing, she can come back and pick up the equipment. It couldn't be easier for her.

"It seems I can't help you even if I don't want to!" I sighed helplessly. Venus is probably the most troublesome woman I have ever seen. How long have I been in contact with her? So many things have happened! First, he summoned a high-level servant god, and then he created a super pest that almost wiped out all of us. Now, he still doesn't know how he created a liquid that can block dropped equipment. Black Widow, a woman ranked third in the world in terms of combat power, is not in such trouble!

After reluctantly leaving the Gate of the Earth, I made new arrangements. Defending here is obviously not the answer. Venus must have a way to control the beginning and end of this attribute, so these things must not be taken away before she gives up control of this thing. But it’s definitely impossible not to send someone to guard. Venus may not come back to get it on her own, and just following her can’t ensure the safety of the equipment. Guards are still needed, but they don’t need too many, as long as they can keep the place under control. After thinking about it, I finally kept True Red, and as for myself, I jumped directly back to Essinger through the teleportation array.

As soon as I arrived at Essinger, I immediately summoned all the guild's front-line managers to briefly assign tasks. Due to the pest issue, the battles all over the world have inexplicably stopped. The problem is that now that the agreement has ended, the battle does not know how to start. The previous attacks on our guilds and our alliance guilds that have occurred around the world are completely a typical chessboard strategy, the core of which is to abandon several of your own flags in exchange for distraction. We can win the entire chessboard, but the problem is that the battle suddenly stopped in the middle because of the pests. If we want to continue fighting, suddenly the "sex" no longer exists. Those who attacked us are not fools. We said at the beginning The battle was suspended, but when they went back and weighed it up, they found that a pause was worse than a complete stop. If the fight continued like this, they would obviously only suffer. Because they understood this key issue, all these suspended combat troops began to retreat, and their respective troops returned to their own territory. This frees up the people in our guild, so it's not a big deal if I call them all back.

"Boss, why did you ask us to come back?"

As soon as Big Pot Rice finished asking, he was slapped under the table by an eagle. "The worldwide war has just ended. Why are you calling us back at this time?"

"There's no need to be so anxious about dividing the spoils, right?"

"Get out of here. We won't share the spoils until the battle is over." I scolded everyone, and then said sternly to everyone: "There are several main reasons for calling you back urgently. First, about You all should understand that the situation of this battle is nothing but a big pot of rice. It seems that the subsequent battles will not be fought, so now we are facing a big problem."

"Problem?" Da Guofan got up from under the table and asked in confusion: "Since I can't fight, what's the problem?"

"Are you an idiot?" Da Guofan, who had just gotten up, was kicked down by Shura Ziyi next to him. "For this battle, the boss bought tens of millions of NPC combat troops! As a result, the battle is not over yet. The troops that were originally expected to lose more than half of them now have more than 60 million left. Our guild's normal defense tasks include 1,000. Ten thousand troops is enough. The extra 50 million people will cost more than 5 million crystal coins just for food and grass a day. Do you think you can calculate how much we will spend every month to support these soldiers?"

After Shura Ziyi finished speaking, I continued: "This is the current situation! In the past, the purchased NPC troops did not consume resources, but since the last system adjustment, each NPC combat unit now consumes a certain amount of resources every day. Grain and grass. Although the system has opened up the farming system, allowing guilds to mobilize free NPCs to grow crops, but even if they all use their own grain and grass, the daily consumption of each soldier will not be less than eight silver coins. Can you tell me about this extra What should we do with more than 50 million troops?"

After I finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Obviously, this problem is not that easy to solve. These soldiers were all bought with money, and it was impossible to release or kill them, because the purchase cost was much more valuable than the food and grass they ate, but keeping them like this would indeed consume too much. It's normal to keep those guard troops who are in need. The extra ones are just burning money. Who doesn't feel bad when he sees so much money being spent in vain every day? But how to deal with this?

After being quiet for about a minute, Jin Coin suddenly said, "I think it's better to resell it?"

Rose shook her head before I could say anything. "These soldiers are strategic resources. Selling them to hostile guilds is definitely not possible. The problem is that our alliance guilds may be in a similar situation to us now, but they didn't buy as many soldiers as we did. But even so, they will never buy our soldiers again. This method will not work."

King Chuang suddenly said: "Although I don't know what to do with these soldiers, I thought of a way to temporarily reduce unnecessary losses." Seeing me looking over with questioning eyes, King Chuang continued: "Anyway, fighting NPCs Their quality far exceeds that of ordinary NPCs. Since we can't deal with it for a while, it's better to use these soldiers as laborers first. Didn't our guild start several big projects recently? Anyway, we are short of workers now, so we might as well use soldiers to carry them out first. Before we think of a solution, we can at least allow them to generate some value. Even if it can't equal the money spent on food and grass, it can at least reduce losses, right?"

I nodded: "This method is feasible, so at least let them serve as laborers for the time being before solving the problems of these soldiers!"

Rose looked at me and said: "A laborer consumes about three silver coins per day, and a soldier can work as much as two laborers. In other words, using one soldier can buy two less laborers, which is equivalent to saving six silver coins per day. But a soldier consumes one gold coin every day, so after calculation, he still consumes four more silver coins every day!"

Su Mei, who had been thinking deeply since the question was raised, suddenly said: "Everyone has a lot of soldiers now, and they will definitely not be able to sell them. As long as the NPC soldiers are in their hands, they will have to spend money. This method alone cannot make up for it. The value of soldiers lies in their combat capabilities, so the most fundamental way to solve this problem is to let them fight."

"You mean to start a war as soon as possible?" Rose asked.

"Absolutely!" Su Mei glanced at King Chuang and asked, "How much transportation capacity does our guild's fleet have now?"

"What are you going to do?" King Chuang looked at Su Mei nervously. This girl is not big but has many tricks and tricks. Our senior managers here are afraid of her.

"Use the fleet to bring all the NPC soldiers scattered around to RB. Anyway, RB has a lot of soldiers, so just consume them. Of course, we don't have to consume them for the sake of consumption, which is no different from waste. We need to make a plan A large-scale strategic plan, and then press the soldiers up, using powerful troops to consume the strength of the Japanese people. This is equivalent to turning the soldiers into our interests in the Japanese army in disguise. "

"This plan is really reliable." I nodded and said, "That's it. NPC troops will be transported to rb first, and then put into local construction. The combat department will immediately formulate a detailed combat plan. As soon as the plan comes out, Let's start fighting right away. We can't keep these soldiers in our hands anymore, it's too expensive!"

"Then I'll design a battle plan right away." Su Mei stood up and was about to run.

"Wait a minute, don't rush me now! I still have something to say!"
