Chapter 57 Countermeasures

When I first found the group of Arhats, they were in a temple looking for someone to cooperate. Then I found a few guys wearing uniforms who were going to talk to those Arhats. At that time, I judged where these people probably got the news. I came to cooperate, so I wanted to go up and block these people. Who knew that I was discovered just as I was about to take action. An Arhat suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards me, then raised his hand and shot out a golden light. However, I was not slow in my movements. I dodged to the side and threw a row of flying knives. The Indian players on the opposite side who came to cooperate were walking towards the Arhats. Suddenly I noticed the Arhats' attacking behavior and immediately realized that I was behind them. Someone made a sneak attack, but when they turned around, the flying knife was already in front of them. Except for the strongest guy among them, who avoided the vital point, the remaining few people were all spared, and all of them were pierced through the throats by the flying knife.

"Ah!" The strongest man covered the wound on his shoulder and was carried by the inertia of the flying knife for more than a meter before landing. At this time, I had jumped behind a rockery in the temple. An Arhat quickly ran over and helped the injured guy.

"Are you OK?"

The guy covered the wound and said, "It's okay for the time being, but the serrations on the knife are stuck on the bone. Be careful when taking it out!"

The Arhat who raised his hand to 'shoot' the golden light said: "I never expected that Zi Ri's strength is so terrifying. The flying knife thrown by me when I was the first to attack was so accurate!"

Another Arhat asked: "Did you hit it?"

The Arhat shook his head. "At most, it only scratched a little bit. With his equipment, it probably didn't cause much damage!"

After hearing this, several other Arhats immediately formed a fan-shaped formation and surrounded the rockery. However, when they carefully moved near the rockery and prepared to suddenly rush behind the rockery and attack me, they heard a sudden bang from behind. All the Arhats who had gathered around looked back at the place where they had come before, and saw that a big hole had exploded on the ground over there, and the soil and the tiles on the ground had flown into the air and were falling in all directions.

As the soil exploded, a black shadow jumped out from under the ground. It wasn't until the black shadow landed behind the injured player that the Arhats recognized it was me. In fact, I had already run away from the ground when I hid behind the rockery. There are two masters of drilling holes, Rose Vine and Pioneer. This is simply trivial. After falling behind the player, I put my hands on the guy's chin and forehead respectively, then suddenly exerted force, and broke the guy's neck before he could react. The Arhat standing in front of him didn't go to the rockery because he had to take care of the wounded man, but even though he was close, his reaction was half a beat too slow. It wasn't until I broke the guy's neck that he reacted and swung. The fist came down with a punch. Suddenly there was a flash of black light around me, the whole person suddenly disappeared, and a huge black shadow instantly appeared to take my place. Only then did the Arhat who attacked me see that the new creature was a big beetle, but this guy was as big as a hill, and it was really scary. The guy hit the air with one punch. The big hammer of the tank will not hit the air. Taking advantage of the guy's excessive force and losing his balance, he hit him head-on. With a bang, the guy flew out like a cannonball. After passing through the courtyard wall, I don’t know where I flew to.

The Arhats who ran to the rockery on the other side turned around and wanted to come back for support. However, as soon as they turned around, they suddenly felt something moving behind them. When they turned around, they saw a big snake with a shiny black body standing behind them. Less than a meter away. The head of this snake is slightly larger than a medium-sized winter melon, and the neck is almost as thick as a human waist. The part standing upright on the ground is more than two meters long, and the rear part is hidden behind the rockery, but just looking at this thickness , the length will never be less than twenty meters.

"Hell King Snake?" There were some knowledgeable Arhats who recognized the black snake's identity at a glance. Although the name written in the properties of Black Flame is Crystal King Snake, because it comes from the Sea of ​​Silence, it is not wrong to call it Hell King Snake.

Although he recognized Hei Yan's identity, it was actually better not to know him because the name Hell King Snake was really scary. Several Arhats all ducked back nervously, while Black Flame stared closely at the Arhat who called out his name and suddenly pounced on him. When the Arhat saw the black snake charging toward him, he immediately jumped up and dodged back. An Arhat next to him took the opportunity to step forward and punch the snake on the head. With a bang, Hei Yan's whole head was slammed from mid-air to the ground, sinking into the ground and even the floor tiles were crushed. But the Arhat didn't take advantage either. He hit the snake's head with one punch, but was knocked out by the snake's tail. He spun in the air and flew towards the sky until he could no longer be seen.

After beating away the guy who sneaked up on him, Hei Yan raised his head again, shook it slightly and then immediately jumped towards a nearby bush. This place was originally just a small temple, and these Arhats used it as a liaison office, so naturally there are still original Buddhist disciples here. There was a monk hiding behind the bushes where the black flames jumped. Originally, he wanted to learn the fighting skills of the Arhats, but who knew that the black snake suddenly rushed towards him, scaring him and running away. However, although snakes have no legs, their speed is not much slower than those with legs. He hadn't even taken two steps before Hei Yan caught up with him. After Hei Yan chased him, he dexterously circled his body and reached half of his body in front of him. The guy immediately stopped and tried to swallow it into his mouth. Then the snake straightened its head and pointed towards the sky and lifted the guy upside down. stand up. As the snake's mouth opened and closed, the guy quickly slid down and disappeared completely into Hei Yan's mouth within a few seconds.

"You evil beast, you dare to eat people? Wait until we take you in!" The three Arhats suddenly formed a strange formation. The two behind them met with one palm, and the other free hand was attached to the back of the person in front. , the Arhat in front put his palms together in front of his chest and slowly opened them. As his palms opened, a golden little sun suddenly appeared between his palms.

"Don't even think about it." A loud shout suddenly came from mid-air. Ling Qi swooped down on the back of the flying bird. With a finger, a small black ball shot into the golden ball of light like lightning. Then, just like pouring cold water into boiling oil, the golden ball of light suddenly exploded with a bang. The Arhat at the front spit out blood and flew out seven or eight feet away, before it collapsed. The rockery where they were hiding was buried by rocks. The remaining two people flew three or four feet away, one on the left and the other on the right, before being blocked by the courtyard wall.

"Want to run?" An Arhat who did not participate in the three-man formation saw Ling running away after attacking and immediately raised his hand to shoot out a yellow light. However, the flying bird's reaction was not slow either. It flicked its wings fiercely and flashed with a beautiful roll. Past that beam of light. You must know that the body structure of flying birds is different from that of humans. Their heads grow at the back of their bodies. He wasn't afraid at all of being attacked from behind.

Seeing that something was wrong, the remaining Arhats immediately formed a circular formation, and instantly a huge light curtain enveloped all the remaining Arhats. Hei Yan rushed to the edge of the light curtain and slammed into it twice, but there was no reaction at all. When the Arhat inside saw that the Black Snake couldn't rush in, he let go of his hands and feet and launched long-range attacks to continuously attack the Black Snake outside. However, Hei Yan reacted very quickly and was dodged by him several times. Suddenly a big hole appeared on the ground. A huge head popped out of the hole and then shrank back. Hei Yan turned around and followed suit. Only then did the Arhats in the light curtain realize that we were about to run away. They removed the light curtain and chased us out. Unfortunately, there was no one around anymore.

After discovering that I had run away, one of the leading Arhats walked to the corpses on the ground and sighed: "I had already found a guild that was willing to cooperate, but I didn't expect that the damn Ziri would mess it up!"

"Don't worry, we have offered such good conditions this time, so we are not afraid that no one will help."

"Is this where Buddhism recruits cooperative guilds?" Several players outside the door raised their heads and asked cautiously.

"Look, isn't this coming?" The Arhat who said there was no need to worry hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, this is it. Do you want to apply to cooperate with our Buddhist sect?"

"Yes." As soon as the visitor was confirmed, he walked in quickly, and then took out the guild badge from his body to confirm it. "I saw in the mission briefing that any guild is fine, as long as it's an Indian guild. Is that true? Let's talk about it first. There are only a dozen people in our guild. We are all friends. We are just having fun forming a guild. Yes, if the task is too complicated, we can’t help. What exactly do you want us to do when you recruit partners?”

After hearing the player's question, the remaining Arhats quickly gathered around and explained to them. After more than ten minutes of explanation, those who came to apply for cooperation finally nodded to indicate that they understood the goals of cooperation. The leader among the Arhats said: "That's the thing. In fact, you just provide a guild membership, and you don't have to do anything yourself. Also, you must have a start-up capital of one thousand crystal coins. But don’t worry, this is just for turnover. After all, there must be a title to transfer so many of our magic soldiers to you. Even if the price is one copper plate per person, it will cost one thousand crystal coins for nearly one million people to transfer together. Of course. , I won’t let you spend this money in vain. As long as you sign a cooperation agreement with us, you can immediately go to our equipment library to select a set of full-body artifact equipment for each person. As long as you have enough equipment space, you can equip them all. Go up. In addition, Buddhism will give each of you two sacred beasts of level 1,000 or above as magic pets. Also, you can go to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion to learn three skills at will. How about it? A thousand crystal coins can be exchanged for so many things. Is it good enough?"

"That's enough. That's enough." The player hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Um...when will we sign the agreement?"

"Of course the sooner the better."

Under the instigation of the Arhats, the player signed the relevant agreement with the Arhats on the spot. Because the agreement contained not much content, it only took more than ten minutes to get it done. The group of Arhats rushed out excitedly as soon as they got the agreement, leaving only a young novice behind to handle the handover of the prizes.

The player saw that all the Arhats had run away, so he turned around and asked the little novice monk. "What do I do next?"

The little novice monk said: "First of all, you have to prepare a thousand crystal coins, and then come to me with the money. I will notify the Great Leiyin Temple to send someone to pick you up. When you arrive at the Great Leiyin Temple, you can meet with the Buddhist monks. The senior management has gone through the procedures for buying and selling personnel, and once the procedures are completed, you can take your people to receive the prizes. Oh, by the way, let me remind you, when you bring the money, you must find all the people in your guild before you come back. When the equipment is distributed, they need to choose it themselves.”

"I understand, then I'll go find everyone right away." The player turned around and ran out excitedly. The little novice shook his head and walked back. But as soon as the player left the temple gate, his expression immediately turned cold. After hurriedly turning two blocks, he walked directly into a store selling equipment, but he did not buy anything. He skipped the store counter and walked into the yard behind the store through the side door. The NPC in the store was selling The staff showed no reaction as if they hadn't seen him. After arriving in the backyard, the player immediately walked into an inconspicuous small room on the side of the yard. He closed the door and knocked on the wall a few times with a special pattern. The center of the wooden spliced ​​floor suddenly opened without warning. A hole, the player immediately jumped into it, and the hole closed again after he entered. Since the wooden floor itself has a large number of joints, it is impossible to tell that this is a secret door. The player went down to the floor and walked down a long flight of stairs and then into a tunnel. After walking in twists and turns, an upward staircase appeared in front of him. After walking up the steps, there was another hole covered by the same floor. He pressed a special position on the side wall, and the floor immediately opened a door. After he walked up, the floor closed again. After he went up, he immediately took off his equipment and put it away, took out a set of clothes belonging to a shop assistant from the cabinet in the room, put them on, and then ran out of the room. After passing through a small courtyard, he entered a huge kitchen, where many NPC chefs were busy. As soon as he walked in, a steward in the kitchen handed a tray filled with dishes into his hands.

"This belongs to the distinguished guest in Room 302. Send it over immediately."

"Yes." The player quickly ran out of the kitchen and into the lobby with the tray, then turned up the stairs to the door of Room 302 and knocked on the door. "Dear guest, your order has arrived."

"Come in." The door opened in response, and the player dressed as a waiter immediately got in and closed the door behind his back. "How is the situation?" The player dressed as a waiter said while putting food on the table: "The agreement has been signed. It is exactly as you said. Buddhism restricts many things. We cannot 'manipulate' the Buddhism we bought. middle man

, but the battlefield radar can still be used, at least it can determine their personnel composition and specific location. There are also many benefits from Buddhism. This is an agreement. Take a look. "

I took the agreement and flipped through it. The content was very simple, but the prizes were quite rich. I nodded and said, "Do you have enough people here?"

"enough."

"This will happen in a while. You guys bring the crystal communication machine, and I will go back to the guild meeting to check the guild contribution and select some people who are at the top of the list. Isn't there a chance to choose a full-body artifact among the prizes? You participate in the mission Each person in the guild can choose one thing for themselves. For the rest, I will ask the people with high contribution in the guild to tell you what they need in order of ranking. You can help each of them choose one thing according to their requirements and it will be regarded as a prize. The pet egg has the same arrangement. As for those three skills... those things can't be taken outside, they all belong to you."

"Thank you, President."

I nodded and said, "Go and do your work, remember to turn on the crystal communicator."

"Understood." The player put down all the food and returned to the kitchen with the empty tray. Then he went to the backyard to change his equipment and returned to the equipment store the way he came. After the player left, I immediately threw all the food on the table into the training space. Anyway, all my magic pets were in there. There was only enough food, so I didn't have to worry about no one asking for it. After finishing the meal, I quickly checked out and left the hotel, then teleported back to Contract City and told Rose and the others about this. Rose immediately tallied up all the equipment needed by people with high contribution in the guild, and then the God of War forwarded it to the spies' communication machines through the crystal communication machine. After a while, when they arrive at Fomen's equipment warehouse, they can select some of the best equipment as required.

After they found everyone and arrived at the small temple, Buddhism immediately sent several sacred beasts to pick them up, while a large group of people from our guild gathered in front of the crystal communication machine to watch the live broadcast. The dozen or so spies were immediately received by Tathagata in person after they were sent to Daleiyin Temple, and the personnel purchase and sale procedures were completed in less than two minutes. Hongyue held a pen beside her and recorded the number and types of personnel sent by the Buddha. After the spies left Daleiyin Temple, they could report the specific attributes of these people to us. Although Buddhism has signed many restrictive agreements with them to prevent them from interfering with Buddhism's operations, these people in Buddhism must be in the name of this guild after all. The spies who are the main members of the guild can naturally check the information they bought. There is no need to notify Buddhism about the attributes of NPC troops. As long as we can master the detailed attributes of these Buddhist troops, we can save a lot of trouble when we actually fight them. At the very least, after knowing their characteristics, you can take targeted preventive measures, which is better than taking a blind eye.

After completing the personnel trading operation with Fomen, our spies were taken to Fomen's equipment warehouse to start selecting equipment. Of course, we recorded the routes and various mechanisms along the way. After the Contract City is established in a few days, our guild will definitely participate when Heavenly Court attacks Buddhism. We should record the locations of important equipment and skill libraries in advance so that we can start directly. Anyway, every time we cooperate with Tianting to attack foreign countries, whoever grabs the things gets it. Even if we empty out the Buddhist equipment warehouse, Tianting will have nothing to say.

After those spies entered the Buddhist equipment library, I didn't care about the rest. Anyway, I just needed to choose the equipment according to the requirements of those members with high contribution values. I left the War God's control center in advance to review the troops selected by Hongyue to take the Dragon Essence Tiger Soul Pill. Now that Buddhism has completed the first part of the plan, I believe we will be able to see Buddhism's offensive troops soon. The most urgent thing now is Buddhism. Our city has already spent a day and a half, and it will enter the defense period in one and a half days. After the two days of defense period, the city will officially take effect, and then Heaven will be able to launch A frontal attack was launched, and at that time Buddhism had nothing to resist. Therefore, if Buddhism wants to avoid a head-on decisive battle with Heaven, it can only defeat us in the last three and a half days, otherwise they will be defeated by Heaven.

Not all the interception troops summoned by Red Moon are players. There are very few pure player troops in the battle sequence of our guild. Generally, NPCs or golems serve as the main attacking force, and players only play a role in coordination and command. The only combat teams in our guild that are purely composed of players are various leveling combat teams, such as elite teams and hunter teams. These teams that perform special tasks are generally pure player teams, and generally have very strong combat effectiveness. One-seventh of the new team compiled by Hongyue is players, and the rest are all various NPCs and puppets. This is already a relatively high number of players among the general teams in our guild.

"Why are they standing like this?" I asked Hongyue next to me as I looked at the team that had finished lining up. The troops in front of them were not arranged in a neat line formation. No matter how the general army was arranged, it should basically be horizontal and vertical, but the troops in front of them were arranged in a honeycomb formation. If you take this formation apart, you will find that its basic unit is a seven-man squad. Each team is composed of three mechanical angels, a high-level chaos archon, a high-level order knight, a god general and a player. Mechanical Angel is a mixture of undead creatures, golems and golems produced by our guild. The soul of the undead knight is used to replace the thinking system, the magic crystal power system is used as the power drive device, and the crystal golem is used as the main body to form a semi-mechanical life form that looks like a heavily armored knight, but has wings on its back. In addition to having low attack power against incorporeal creatures, this kind of mechanical angel can almost stand up to ordinary soldiers of the gods without falling behind. Of course, strong strength corresponds to astronomical research and development costs and ultra-low output, but we can still afford to equip an elite force. The senior Chaos Archon in the team comes from the temple of our guild, which is the Temple of Chaos and Order in Vina. The predecessor of the Chaos Archon was the Chaos Mage. He was mainly known for his auxiliary spells and had a small number of attack spells, but they were all very practical. The Knights of Order are also products of the Temple of Chaos and Order. Their characteristics are similar to the Paladins of the Temple of Light. In addition to super high attack and defense, they can also heal their companions and themselves. If they cannot be defeated in a short period of time, their survivability will be as strong as a weak one. It will definitely drive their enemies crazy. Divine Generals are a type of NPC combatants sold to our guild by Heaven. The biggest difference from Heavenly Soldiers is that these guys have divine power and can suppress the enemy's attributes on the battlefield, especially when there are gods in the opponent's army. The effect is most obvious when present. In addition, the fighting methods of divine generals are also different from those of heavenly soldiers. They can actually be regarded as warriors with both magic and martial arts. Although they mainly rely on physical attacks, their spells are not much worse than those of real mages. As for the last player, their main job is to coordinate the six combatants around them, and since they will be assigned a Dragon Essence Tiger Soul Pill, their own strength will also be greatly improved, at least they will not be defeated by Buddhist soldiers. Slaughter them like melons and vegetables. The six outer members of this seven-person team stand exactly in a regular hexagon, and the player in charge will stand in the center of the hexagon. In this way, seven people together form a hexagon, and what these hexagonal teams put together is the large square array in front of me. However, this cannot be called a square formation. Although it generally looks square, the edges are actually not neat. After all, it is a formation made of many small hexagonal teams, and they cannot be arranged straight anyway.

Hongyue immediately explained after hearing my question: "This formation was requested by the God of War. He said that this formation is more effective in combat."

"Why?"

"You should ask him yourself about this! That guy's words are too profound and I can't understand them, but I have to admit that the battles he directs are simply art."

I nodded but didn't say anything. The God of War itself is a battlefield command computer, designed to coordinate the unified dispatch and command of a large-scale war. Fighting at the level of our guild is just a warm-up, and of course there is no challenge at all. But you can't say this to anyone. Except for me and Rose, everyone in our guild thinks that the God of War is really a genius player. After all, in civilian technology, smart computers are not yet advanced enough to confuse the real with the fake. .

After reviewing the troops and instructing them to conduct more cooperative training, I ran directly back to the command center of Isinger War God. As soon as I walked in, the God of War didn't even look back and said directly: "You want to ask me why I arranged the defense troops in that strange formation, right?"

"How did you know I was going to ask this?"

"The base just updated the system for me recently. I just tested the behavior prediction system on you, and the results proved that the accuracy is quite high."

"Have you updated the system?" As soon as I heard that the God of War had been upgraded, I immediately ran to him and asked excitedly.

"Yes."

"What have been updated? Are there any new features?"

The God of War said while operating the console: "Most of the updates just modify some inaccurate parameters. The surface update is mainly about this behavioral prediction system."

"What can this system do? Analyze human behavior?"

"Yes. As long as you know a person's daily behavior, you can summarize his behavioral characteristics, and then create a virtual mental model of his to predict in advance how he will react when he encounters various things. The more detailed the information about this person, the better the judgment The more accurate it will be. For example, I know you very well, so the accuracy of judging your behavior will be extremely high."

"I see. By the way, what happened to that army? You haven't explained it to me yet?"

"This is an arrangement I made based on the configuration of the Buddhist troops and the tactical characteristics of Buddhism reported back by our spies." The God of War said, playing more than a dozen scenes being played on the big screen in a split-screen manner. On the side of the screen are rows of data. "Based on the scenes we have seen now, we can see that the way Buddhism fights is not like an army. We have fought against the Temple of Light and even the Temple of Darkness before, and we have also participated in battles in Heaven. Judging from their performance, Whether it is the Temple of Light, the Temple of Darkness, or the Heavenly Court, their low-level personnel basically have obvious military characteristics, and Heavenly Court is the best among them. The entire Heavenly Court is basically a complete political system. Not only does it have an army system, There is also the civil service system, which is difficult to find in the configuration of the Light Temple and the Dark Temple, so the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Court is much stronger than that of the Light Temple and the Dark Temple."

"What does this have to do with Buddhism?"

"What Buddhism lacks is precisely the strengths of the above three schools. Buddhism lacks a complete command system. Compared with the complete military and political system of Heaven, the structure of Buddhism is more like a huge gang of bandits. The Great Sun Tathagata is quite powerful in Buddhism. Therefore, basically, as long as there is no obvious problem of direction, his words will be directly implemented. In the Heavenly Court, although the Jade Emperor and the three saints above have the highest decision-making power, the three saints are actually more like A small council of elders, while the Jade Emperor and the officials below are a large parliament. Although decisions are not entirely based on majority vote, the Jade Emperor rarely opposes proposals supported by the majority, and the Jade Emperor himself is also very good at listening to other people's opinions. , Therefore, although there is concentration of power in this system, it actually shows a certain degree of democracy, and at least it can pool the wisdom of everyone on non-emergency matters, which is much better than Buddhism."

"But what does the superiority of the superstructure have to do with our battle?"

"Of course it has a lot to do with it. Haven't you ever heard of the saying that a raging army can lead to a den of raging animals? It's because the superstructure of Buddhism is similar to a gang of bandits, so their lower-level combatants have no sense of the army at all, but are very Like a group of bandits. Of course, this does not mean that they behave like bandits, but that they fight like bandits. First send the vanguard generals to fight one on one. No matter whether the vanguard generals lose or win, they will definitely be the big ones. The troops surge forward. The only difference is that morale will be higher if the vanguard wins. If the large troops rushing forward overtake the enemy in battle, it will definitely turn into a thousand-mile pursuit, because Buddhists don’t know what it means. Don't chase after the enemy. Once the impact tactics fail and the losses are too high, the Buddhist troops that surge up will disperse faster than before. However, the Buddhists are gods after all, and it is not that easy to defeat them. Yes, at least in terms of their will to resist, there is no comparison between them and the bandits. What makes Buddhism like the bandits is just the composition of the army. This has nothing to do with personal quality and fighting will."

"Is it because the fighting status of Buddhism is similar to that of bandits, so you arranged our troops in this strange formation?"

"Yes." Military God explained: "Because Buddhism does not adopt an army's combat mode, we cannot use tactics against the army. The main characteristics of Buddhism are chaotic formations and strong individual combat effectiveness. So we Use the hunting team tactics to deal with Warcraft. Seven people are just a hunting team. Their cooperation can completely suppress enemies that are much stronger than themselves. Once a single Buddhist soldier is trapped by such a seven-man team, , the possibility of being eliminated without external support is as high as 80%. And the squads are completely independent from each other, so when the Buddhist skirmishers rushed over, they were not included by the seven-man squad. Members of the Buddhist sect can pass through the gaps between squads. This can form a composite combat system while ensuring the maximum contact area. Judging from the cooperation of our guild combat team, except for a few masters in the sect, It’s almost impossible to get out of a battle like this.”

"I see, this formation is pretty good."

"Not bad? This is the best tactic I formulated based on the tactical characteristics of Buddhism. It can increase combat effectiveness by 30% compared to ordinary military formation tactics, and can reduce casualties by 70%. Is it more than good?"

"Okay, okay, your formation is the best."

Arguing with the God of War is the most meaningless behavior, especially after he installed a behavior prediction system. That is definitely seeking death. After leaving Essinger, I went to Heaven again. It is impossible not to have close contact with Heaven during this period. Of course, it is also necessary to visit those clones in Buddhism. If we establish good relations now, we may be able to do so in the future.

That's when it comes in handy.

After staying in Heaven for three hours, I rushed back to Contract City. As soon as I left the teleportation array, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. I immediately flew into the air to confirm the situation. Fortunately, we did not see the Buddhist invasion force. Obviously the battle has not happened yet, but the defense force of our guild has been transferred to the newly completed city wall, and the atmosphere seems extremely depressed.

"What's going on? Why are the troops marching up the city wall?" I asked loudly as soon as I entered the city hall of Contract City.

Rose pointed at the map and said to me: "The news from thirty minutes ago is that the Buddhist vanguard force of 10,000 people has arrived here."

I looked at the map and saw that it was still a few hundred kilometers away from Contract City. "Buddhism moves very quickly!"

"This is already thanks to the location of the headquarters our spies applied for, which delayed Fomen. Otherwise, they might have already been attacking the city by now."

Although the spies we sent took over the cooperation mission of Buddhism, their main task is still to cause trouble for Buddhism. Due to the agreement, they cannot 'interfere' with Buddhism's actions, but they can interfere with Buddhism elsewhere. For example, this guild residence. Any guild must have a garrison. Your garrison can be a shabby house or a city, but no matter what, you must have a garrison. The temporary guild our spy applied for is located on the edge of the Indian Ocean, the southernmost part of India. The Arhats sent by Buddhism were eager to find collaborators. Once they heard that someone was willing to cooperate, they forgot everything and had no time to look at the location of their guild. It wasn't until they were about to send out troops that they discovered that after being purchased by the guild, the NPC troops must be brought to the station before they can be sent to various places to perform tasks. This is a rigid rule and there is nothing to discuss. Therefore, if Buddhism wants to attack our contract city, it must first send its troops to southern India and then run back. Even if the divine members of the Buddhist forces are much faster than ordinary people, this trip has also delayed a lot of time, so that it is almost dusk now and their team has not yet reached the outside of the city.

"Looks like we're getting ready for a night battle!" I said, looking at the sky outside that was starting to turn a little hazy.

"Not only is it a night battle, it's also a rain battle." Hongyue said: "The latest weather forecast shows that there will be heavy rain in the area after dark at night. We will probably have to fight the Buddhists in the thunderstorm!"

"Don't make a mistake. Raining at night should be beneficial to us." Eagle said: "We are on the defensive side. The speed of the Buddhists running over in the rain will definitely decrease, and attacking the city in the mud will definitely make it more difficult. On the contrary. For our defense, the rain has almost no impact other than affecting the line of sight.”

"I hope it's like what you said!" I sighed.

In fact, rain does have a greater impact on Buddhism's attack, but for us, rain is not a good thing, because rain will affect the shooting of the twelve aerial forts we built. Because Tianting promised to help us reimburse most of the expenses for this contract city construction, when we first started construction, everything was designed according to the policy of focusing on quality without considering price. The twelve floating forts distributed along the city wall were obviously designed under this guiding ideology. In order to increase the power, we abandoned the cheaper and less powerful gunpowder cannons without considering the price. Instead, they all used magic crystal cannons. But the problem is that the magic crystal cannon fires compressed magic energy, and the magic energy group is not a cannonball made of steel. It has no shell. If it flies in the rain for too long, it can easily be detonated in advance by dense raindrops. This But it's a big problem.

Although I am worried about whether the strength on hand can block the Buddhist attack, things have come to this point, and there is no point in worrying. What should come will always come.
