Starting From Zero

Volume 19 Chapter 29 Strategic Movement

The military god didn't mind Matsumoto Masamoto's concerns at all, and said directly: "Is there very little remaining 10,000 combat power?"

"Less?" Masamoto Matsumoto said with some exaggeration: "It's not a question of less, but it's just like an empty city. Tokyo is our capital of Japan after all, okay? You can arrange it for me in such a big city. Are you just pretending to have 30,000 to 50,000 people? What's going on with these 10,000 people? I know you must have installed surveillance cameras in the city. Look at what the Japanese players are doing now. Are they fighting or playing catch?' Hidden?"

"You are just talking about your feelings. The facts are not as exaggerated as you think." Military God explained: "Tokyo is indeed a very large city, but according to the system settings, the city's minimum combat quota in wartime emergencies is actually There are only 50,000 people.”

"Fifty thousand is fine. What do these ten thousand count?"

"Fifty thousand is the figure before death." Military God asked: "Remember what we said to the outside world?"

Masamoto Matsumoto immediately replied: "Remember. The city is empty and you have transferred all the troops."

"That's it." Military God said: "The ones that can be transferred are all field troops, and naturally the only ones left in the city are the City Guards. Remember those missiles I asked you to release? Their landing point is the City Guards barracks, so before you entered the city, more than 40,000 people on our side were 'killed'. So..."

"Is this how He Zhe's 10,000 troops were calculated?"

"Okay, don't worry. According to our plan, you accidentally 'killed' 80% of the troops in the early stage of the attack, and the remaining troops are enough for your people. Fang Zheng, one-eighth of your Ghost Dragon Club They are all our people. As long as they don't come into contact with the troops we left behind, your remaining 10,000 troops should still be able to kill to your heart's content." At this point, the military god added: "This is just an act anyway. , it makes no sense to invest so many troops, do we also need to save costs?"

“That’s not how you save money, right?”

"Okay, okay, you'd better give good command. Remember to ask the people we arrange for you to lie more about their records, so that those people won't find it strange."

"Well, anyway, I'm not the only one who is unlucky if something goes wrong." Masamoto Matsumoto reluctantly cut off contact and rushed into the city with his subordinates, and began to pretend to fight non-existent enemies in the city. , but because Masamoto Matsumoto is surrounded by people we arranged for him, it is not easy to get involved in this kind of performance.

Since there were really not many people left in the city, even though Matsumoto Masaka and the others worked hard, the battle ended in less than an hour. This was because Matsumoto Masaka and the others used several underground buildings to deliberately fight. It took a few small attacks to waste so much time, otherwise the whole battle could be finished in less than half an hour. To be honest, this scene is really overdone. After all, the area of ​​​​Tokyo City is there. If this is normal, let alone a big battle, even if a player rushes from one end of the city to the other, it will take about half an hour. As a result, a siege ended in one hour.

When the system announced that Tokyo City was occupied, many Japanese players who participated in the attack couldn't accept it for a while. "Is it now occupied? Is it too easy?" Many players have this idea, but in any case, the successful occupation is a good thing, so most people have not delved into why the battle is so simple. As for those who like to use their imaginations People, led by most people and covered up by various favorable circumstances, just thought that they were overthinking, and no one really found out what the problem was. After all, this battle was won too easily. I really can't find any flaws.

"Long live! Victory!" Although they hesitated for a while, the Japanese players quickly reacted and started shouting excitedly.

Masamoto Matsumoto found a taller building and stood on it, then activated the city's amplification magic array. "Attention everyone, I am Masamoto Matsumoto, the president of the Ghost Dragon Club, and I am now issuing a new combat order. All Ghost Dragon Club combatants and guild members who follow us must gather at the east gate of Tokyo City. We will immediately attack the next building. Cities. I know everyone wants to enjoy the feeling of newly occupied cities, but we don’t have much time. We cannot stop in any city before the Chinese react. This will slow down the pace of our attack, and once we Slow down, then we will never have the chance to capture more cities. So, now I announce that everyone must gather at the east gate of Tokyo City and we are going to set off."

Although it was like what Matsumoto Masaga said, it was like feeling the regained city, but this time the people who followed Matsumoto Masaga out of Fulcrum City were either members of the Ghost Dragon Society or fanatics who admired Matsumoto Masaga very much. These guys were like Japanese young military officers during World War II were all guys whose body reactions were faster than their brains. As soon as they heard Matsumoto Masaru congratulating him about a continuous attack, these fanatics immediately gave up their plan to enjoy the newly occupied city and rushed to the east gate of the city.

Because they had just won the battle, the current Japanese players were extremely excited. The entire assembly process was completed in less than twenty minutes in this abnormally excited state, and when the large troops left Tokyo and rushed to their When we reach our next goal, the time has just reached seven in the morning.

Masamoto Matsumoto's next target was Chiba, which was very close to Tokyo. Similar to Tokyo before, this battle was also completed at a lightning speed. The crystal tower of Chiba City was blown away by missiles before the protective cover of Chiba City was raised. Then a row of missiles blasted open the city wall. Finally, dozens of missiles blew up important buildings in the city. Waiting for the players led by Masamoto Matsumoto When we arrived in the city, we basically did some cleaning work. The whole battle didn't even last until the battle in Tokyo. After all, Tokyo is the capital, and its defense must be stronger than Chiba.

After occupying Chiba, the Japanese players automatically gathered in the square area in the center of the city without Matsumoto Masaga's instructions. Then, following Matsumoto Masaga's order, they all poured into the port of Chiba City, grabbed some small wooden boats, and went crazy. We crossed Tokyo Bay and arrived at Yokohama on the other side of the strait. Since the attack was launched from the sea this time, the attack was not as smooth as expected. After all, there were many forts on the coast. Even if all the guards in Yokohama are evacuated, the port fort cannot be moved, so the fort soldiers must stay, so we can't pretend in this regard and can only let Matsumoto Masa and his men charge into the fort's attack. However, due to the existence of those mysterious missiles, the fort group did not have much effect. Although many small boats were sunk, because the boats were small, there were not many people on each boat, so the casualties would not be large. In the end, when Matsumoto Masaru congratulated them on their complete occupation of Yokohama and counted the casualties, the number was still small and negligible.

After defeating Yokohama, the battle still could not stop. Masamoto Matsumoto led his people to rush all the way to Urawa and directly launched an attack on Urawa without any preparation. However, what surprised the group of real Japanese players from the Ghost Dragon Club and the guild members who followed Masamoto Matsumoto was that Urawa Castle turned out to be an empty city. Unlike Tokyo, which has an empty defense force, this empty city in Urawa is a real empty city. It is so empty that there is no defense force at all. Apart from some NPC patrols to maintain order in the city, there are almost no combatants to be found. The city is full of people. Free NPCs have no defense troops.

Masamoto Matsumoto had known about Urawa's empty city for a long time, and it was also part of the plan. However, although he knew it, he could not tell it. He could only find NPCs in the city to ask about the situation in front of the Japanese players. After some explanations from the NPCs that had been arranged long ago, the Japanese players finally learned that Urawa was originally guarded, but just after Tokyo was captured, all the Chinese guards were transferred.

Unlike Tokyo, Urawa had a small-scale battle some time ago, and the city defense NPCs suffered heavy damage. Later, a field force was stationed in Urawa instead of a city garrison. The biggest difference between these field forces and the garrison is that the garrison cannot Leaving a certain range of the city, the field troops can run around.

After learning that the field troops stationed in Urawa had evacuated, the Japanese players and Matsumoto Masaga and others got together to analyze the reasons for our evacuation. Then we arranged for Matsumoto Masaga's people to guide them, and soon those The Japanese players concluded that we were going to shrink our defenses and concentrate our forces to defend key cities. This inference is very reasonable. After all, if those troops are dispersed in so many cities, they will only be defeated one by one. If you shrink the defense, at least a few cities can be saved. Comparing the two methods, everyone knows shrinking the defense. This is a good idea, so the Japanese players believed in our arrangement without any doubt.

So, what is the reality?

The fact is of course impossible that we really want to shrink our defenses, at least that is not the purpose. We have indeed withdrawn and concentrated our troops, but it is not to shrink the defense, but to gather these teams and follow the elite troops to find trouble with the people in Fulcrum City.

Masa Matsumoto is our agent in Japan. Anyone who doesn’t listen to Masa Matsumoto doesn’t listen to us. There are only two ways to deal with such a person, one is to beat him until he is obedient, and the other is to completely eliminate him. Now we just have to concentrate our efforts to give these people a hard slap and let them know that if they don't cooperate with Matsumoto Masa, they will have to confront us head-on. Those worms dared to snatch the fruit from Matsumoto Masaga, but they absolutely did not dare to confront us head-on. So in the end, all they could do was to humbly follow Matsumoto Masaga, because as long as they have a little bit of care, we will beat them until they dare not stop. Move your mind.

According to the consistent style of our guild, there is usually not only one purpose for doing something, and this troop deployment is actually the same. In addition to the purpose of beating those moths mentioned before, we of course also have a second purpose in deploying troops to concentrate on attacking Fulcrum City, and this purpose is to speed up Matsumoto Masaru's attack speed and combat efficiency.

It is actually very uneconomical to leave troops behind in the city. On the one hand, these guard troops slowed down Matsumoto Masa and their occupation speed, and on the other hand, they consumed a lot of funds from our guild. After all, these troops are not in vain, they are all money. However, it would be inappropriate not to arrange troops to defend the city, otherwise it would be bad if the Japanese players discovered the problem. Moreover, the guard troops should not be too small. Just like the previous Tokyo City, with more than 10,000 guards, Masamoto Matsumoto said it was too few. Even if a guard only costs fifty crystal coins, more than ten thousand is still more than half a million! Do you think it’s a loss to spend our guild’s money on this kind of thing? So we thought of this method, deploying all the troops to attack Fulcrum City. Even if all these troops are killed outside Fulcrum City, at least they will be fully used, which is much more cost-effective than fighting with Matsumoto Masa's people. You must know that Matsumoto Masa's people and those NPCs are all our people. The two sides fight each other and consume each other as if their left and right hands are pinching each other. If either side is hurt, it is us who hurts. How uneconomical?

Since Urawa was empty, the occupation was surprisingly fast. However, Matsumoto Masamoto did not let these people leave immediately to attack the next city. Instead, he began to reorganize the troops and made some supplies.

The reason why the four cities of Tokyo, Urawa, Yokohama and Chiba must be captured quickly is that these four cities are connected to form the Tokyo Circle, which is a defense system centered on Tokyo. In this system, Tokyo exists in the form of a rear base. Yes, Urawa, Yokohama and Chiba on the periphery are three tentacles extending out. As long as they have enough troops, they can intercept enemies approaching Tokyo in any direction. If the enemy attacks Tokyo, any two of these three cities can send troops to cut off the opponent's retreat at any time. And if the opponent attacks one of them first, then Tokyo and the other two cities can provide support for the attacked city. Support, the cross-defense formed in this way is almost an unbreakable endless loop as long as there are no problems with the troops. No matter which side is attacked first, one must be prepared to pay a lot of losses. Masamoto Matsumoto's rapid occupation of these four cities was to use the excuse that our troops are now empty to take down this defensive circle first, so as not to have trouble finding excuses to attack in the future. We don't want to pay such a high price when transferring it to the city.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the team, Masamoto Matsumoto sent his personnel out to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding cities. Those who were not assigned to the reconnaissance mission were asked to take time to rest. After all, this period of time required a long period of time. Fighting, so you must seize every moment to rest, otherwise the player may be kicked out of the game inexplicably due to the player's mental condition.

It was almost noon when we occupied the Tokyo area. After most of the people in the guild took a break, Matsumoto Masamoto gathered the people in the guild who were supported by us and then asked these people to go out and capture Tokyo. Some scattered small cities in the circle were also occupied. Of course, this process does not require a war. Anyway, the people participating in the war are spies from our guild, and they all know the inside story. Just make sure that no Japanese players are nearby to see it.

There were not many guards in these small cities within the Tokyo circle, so we issued another order. After Masamoto Matsumoto's people arrived, our NPC guards immediately surrendered to complete the handover, and then the city was considered "occupied". By two o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese players who had been asked to take a rest and did not know the inside story came back online, the entire Tokyo circle, including the small cities within it, had been completely controlled by the Ghost Dragon Club, and at noon At that time, there were suddenly many NPC troops in these cities.

"Holy shit, what's going on?" The Japanese players' eyes almost went straight when they saw so many troops present. Before the lunch break, their team was similar to the guerrillas. Unexpectedly, when they woke up, the guerrillas turned into an armored army group. This contrast was unacceptable to anyone.

"Eh? Why did you get up so early? Didn't I let you sleep until three o'clock?" Masamoto Matsumoto, the guild president, deliberately pretended to be surprised when he saw the group of guild presidents following him. Of course, in fact, he knew that these people would not be able to wait until three o'clock, so he specially allowed an hour of safety time.

Upon hearing Masamoto Matsumoto's inquiry, the presidents immediately said: "How could we sleep at such a critical moment? We were able to sleep for two hours thanks to this sleep assistance system, which is similar to hypnosis. Otherwise, we would have estimated that one minute I can't sleep either." At this point, one of the presidents suddenly asked: "By the way, what's going on with these troops?"

"Oh, I just bought this." Masamoto Matsumoto said casually, as if he didn't buy so many troops, but a AA battery. Of course, in fact, he did not spend any money, because the money was all paid by us. Moreover, not all of these troops were just purchased. There are indeed many newly purchased troops here, but most of them are our troops that have 'surrendered' within the past two hours. Because people who didn't know the inside story were forced to sleep by Matsumoto Masaka in the form of orders, Matsumoto Masaka and the others were in a complete surveillance vacuum period during these two hours. During this time period, we secretly did a lot of tricks. In addition to giving the entire Tokyo area a "peaceful transition" to Masamoto Matsumoto, he also gave him a large number of NPC guards. Of course, this cannot be said. It is publicized that Matsumoto Masaru bought it.

"Just bought it?" The presidents asked in surprise: "Where did you get so much money?"

Masamoto Matsumoto smiled and said nothing when he heard what the man said, with an expression like if you ask me, I will tell you, which made all the presidents of the gang try their best to guess what was going on. Judging from Masamoto Matsumoto's expression, this money seems to come from a strange source, because it is a source of windfall, otherwise Masamoto Matsumoto would not be smiling so weirdly. Thinking this way, all the Japanese presidents suddenly reacted. "Could it be that you found cash that the Chinese didn't transport away?"

Since the beginning of the National War, the system has canceled the virtual currency system. In the past, players' money was displayed digitally, and most players themselves could not see the actual currency. But it’s different now. Now all the currencies on players’ bodies have been changed to physical currencies. Unless you have space equipment, you have to hang a money bag on your body to carry money with you. Players' personal funds are better than guilds, especially super rich guilds like ours. The funds of a guild like ours are in the hundreds of millions, and these cannot all be calculated in terms of crystal coins. There must be a large number of gold, silver, and copper coins, so the volume of currency is quite amazing.

Because of this change in the system, each guild has built its own treasury, or used existing system banks to store currency. Of course, system banks have to pay custody fees, so except for small guilds, large guilds usually open their own banks to deposit money. The banks opened by these guilds themselves must have a facade like the system banks, and they all have physical existence. The only difference is that no one dares to touch the system bank, because it is usually protected by god-level NPC guards. Except for people with superior strength like me, ordinary people cannot attack it at all. Besides, even if you can grab the money in the system's bank, the system will default to rejecting you as a current account. This is a very serious problem, especially for guild organizations. Therefore, almost no one dares to think about system banking. As for the guild's own bank, whether anyone dares to touch it depends on the guild's own capabilities.

Seeing that the presidents seemed to have guessed it, Matsumoto Masaga simply followed their words and confirmed: "That's right. Although the Frost Rose Alliance has built many banks in our country, there are only two with large treasury. , one is Fulcrum City, and the other is Tokyo."

When the guild presidents heard this, they suddenly realized and shouted: "No wonder you rushed all the way to Tokyo non-stop as soon as you left Fulcrum City. We thought you were interested in Tokyo's defense circle system!"

"Haha, that's just one of the reasons." At this point, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "Hey, since you are following me, I won't hide it from you. In fact, when we left, the treasury of Fulcrum City It was also evacuated by us.”

"What?"

"Shh... shh shh..." Masamoto Matsumoto waved his hands desperately to make these people lower their voices. "Don't make any noise. You are the only ones who have this matter besides us from the Ghost Dragon Society. Please don't tell anyone. Hehe, although those moths know how to find the treasury, they don't have the intelligence support like me to find it as soon as they go. We found the location of the treasury. The troops you see now were purchased with money from Fulcrum City’s treasury and Tokyo’s treasury.”

"How many troops are there?" None of the guilds following Masamoto Matsumoto are large guilds, so there are not many people. I heard that all the money from the treasury of the two cities bought NPC troops, so I guessed how much money it would cost. How many people can I buy?

Masamoto Matsumoto deliberately looked very proud and said: "It's not too much, just over 10 million in total."

"How much...how much?"

"More than 10 million." After Matsumoto Masaru finished speaking, he deliberately pretended to understand the wrong meaning and explained: "Don't look at the small number of people here, I have divided the troops. There are only 200,000 troops in Urawa, and there are only 200,000 troops in Yokohama and I also left 200,000 each in Chiba, and 400,000 in Tokyo. The four cities have a total of 1 million, which is enough to stop them for a while based on city defense."

"Where are the more than nine million troops?" someone asked.

Matsumoto Masahiro immediately said: "Didn't I tell you? Now is not the time to rest. Even if we need to strengthen the defense, we will wait until later. Now we must attack and attack again. We must take advantage of this time to grab the territory quickly and occupy it. How much is what you have. Although these cities now have to invest money in development and buy soldiers, in the future these cities will be gold mines! I advise you to invest quickly and buy some soldiers if you have money. When the time comes, I will divide the results according to the system. Success will be divided by recorded combat contributions. If you invest more troops, you might be able to divide an extra city."

Hearing what Masamoto Matsumoto said, the thoughts of the presidents immediately came to life. I left Fulcrum City with Masamoto Matsumoto just because these people have a strong sense of justice. It doesn't mean that they don't love money. Now there is such an opportunity to grab money in an upright way. You can not only get practical benefits, but also gain a great reputation. , no fool would not take such a good opportunity.

After a brief discussion, the presidents resigned one after another and went to the members to tell them the words of Matsumoto Masaru's congratulations, and then they began to encourage everyone to raise funds. Although they are a small guild, if every member throws money in, they can still buy a lot of soldiers together. Although it is a bit risky, after all, the current situation is very good. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will pass. There is no such store in this village.

After some ideological struggle, most of the members of those guilds finally decided to invest their capital. Then they went offline to raise money at an incredible speed, and then quickly exchanged the money into the game. Finally, they all concentrated on the president. Register there. These presidents came to Matsumoto Masa with their money, and then handed their money to Matsumoto Masa, who was responsible for buying soldiers for them.

The reason why these presidents don't buy their own troops is that Matsumoto Masaru will definitely get discounts if he buys large quantities. Secondly, the troops bought will have to follow Matsumoto Masaru to fight. If they buy it, they will be needed to command the troops. Transfer, which will affect the combat effect. It is better to buy them all for Masamoto Matsumoto, and they can also conduct unified command. Anyway, they are not afraid that Masamoto Matsumoto will not admit his debt.

After Matsumoto Masamoto collected the money to buy new troops and assembled the troops, it was already past four in the afternoon. At this time, Matsumoto Masamoto congratulated the air cavalry scouts sent out at noon and returned to Urawa City, and they also brought back A surprising news.

"What? All empty cities?" A guild leader grabbed the scout's shoulder and almost dislocated his arm.

The player quickly explained: "I saw it all with my own eyes. I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I even recorded the video with a recording crystal. The cities in the area north of the line from Fukui to Nagoya are almost empty."

"Map, hurry up." Following the shouts of several presidents, a huge strategic map was spread out. After a quick search on the map, the presidents quickly discovered the problem.

One president asked, “What’s going on south of this line?”

"Part of our reconnaissance team arrived at Changbin and saw a large number of Chinese troops."

"What is massive?"

"There are too many of them and they are in motion. There is no way to collect specific data. Anyway, what we see is that they are everywhere in the mountains and plains. It is estimated that the total number will not be less than 20 million people."

"What? How come there are so many?" The presidents almost collapsed when they heard this number.

Without waiting for the air cavalryman to answer, Matsumoto Masaga said, "No need to guess, they must have mobilized all the troops north of the line from Nagoya to Fukui to form such a mixed army."

As soon as Masamoto Matsumoto finished speaking, one of the members we arranged for him who was following him followed up and said: "No. Looking at the posture of the Chinese, it is clear that they want to concentrate their efforts on capturing the Fulcrum City. If they take the area north of the line from Nagoya to Fukui All the garrison troops have been mobilized, so they must have also mobilized the troops south of Fulcrum City. Therefore, the final number of troops arriving outside Fulcrum City will be more than 20 million. The actual number is definitely more than this value. I estimate it may be There are about 30 million.”

"But if the Chinese mobilized all their guard troops to attack Fulcrum City, wouldn't all other cities become empty cities?" A president asked incomprehensively: "Aren't they afraid that scattered troops like us will occupy these cities? City?"

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said, "Yes, they are just not afraid."

"Why?"

The same member explained: "It takes a while for a city to be fully controlled from occupation, which means that the newly occupied city does not have much defense. The Chinese concentrated their efforts on attacking Fulcrum City because Fulcrum City had just been occupied. , during this period of time, Fulcrum City will not have too high a defensive power. As long as they work together inside and outside, it is entirely possible to re-capture Fulcrum City. As for other cities in Japan, what if they are occupied? The new city has no defense power, and they occupy Fulcrum City. The transnational teleportation array can be rebuilt immediately, and coupled with the port of Fulcrum City, Japanese territory will soon be filled with Chinese troops. By then, they can take back the cities we picked up for free one by one. With their military strength, this is not difficult at all.”

"Then we are not bound to lose this battle?" The president who asked the question asked nervously.

Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case." After that, he walked to the map and knocked on the location of Fulcrum City and said: "This is the key. Just like when we occupied Fulcrum City to leverage the entire Japanese war situation, China People want to use the same method to tip the balance back to its original position. Fulcrum City, Fulcrum City. This name is really appropriate. With this support point, everything is possible."

"Based on this analysis, does it matter that we just don't let the Chinese get the Fulcrum City?" asked one of the presidents.

Matsumoto Masa congratulated: "It's more complicated than this." Seeing that the presidents didn't seem to understand, he had to continue to explain: "You may not understand it clearly, but as a former leader of Japanese players, I have the reconnaissance ability of the Frost Rose Alliance. But I was deeply impressed. The Frost Rose Alliance must have known about our separation from Fulcrum City and independent occupation of the Tokyo Defense Circle."

"So they won't let us ruin their plans?"

"That's right." Masamoto Matsumoto congratulated: "They will definitely send people to attack the Tokyo defense circle in order to hold us back and prevent us from supporting Fulcrum City."

"Then shall we give up here?"

"Give up?" Masamoto Matsumoto sneered: "Give up here to win the defense battle of Fulcrum City and then hand over Fulcrum City to those gang of moths? No, no, no, I am not that generous. Moreover, with the greed of those guys, Character, I estimate that after we throw all the troops we just bought into the big pit of the guard battle, they will take the remaining troops to rob all the cities we occupied, and then squat like beggars when they see them When we pass by the roadside, we will be spat on or stepped on. I have already tried that kind of day once, and I don’t want to do it again.”

Not many people know what happened during the period after Matsumoto Masaka stepped down, but everyone knows that Matsumoto Masaka suffered a lot of humiliation during that period, so no one dared to speak against him when Matsumoto Masaka said this. what. However, after all, this is related to the entire Japanese war situation, so some people still asked tactfully: "But if we leave it alone and wait for the Chinese to occupy the fulcrum city and then free up our hands to fight back, won't we also be left empty-handed?"

Matsumoto Masaru shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Without the support of a large army, it is certain that our own city must be given top priority. As for Fulcrum City, although it is definitely impossible to defend it with those moths, since we have helped They have intercepted that part of the enemy at sea, so they should be able to persist for a while. We can take this time to continue to expand the scope of the occupied city and continue to seize territory. As for the help of those moths, we can use our own city to also suffer We can use it as an excuse to attack, and we can also openly say that we are recovering lost territory in a big way, so that we occupy the moral high ground. As for Fulcrum City, just as I told you before, we want them to fight with us In exchange, after we help defend Fulcrum City, the city must be handed over to us unconditionally, and we can also use the city we captured during this period in exchange. Their 'character' will definitely agree."

When the presidents heard this, they also remembered that Masamoto Matsumoto had indeed described this plan to them when they left Fulcrum City yesterday. Now it seems that this plan is indeed very feasible, and it seems that the possibility of success is very high.

A president of the association said while analyzing: "If we follow this plan, not only will Fulcrum City be in our possession, but we will also gain a lot of urban resources north of the entire Nagoya-Fukui line. This benefit It’s just too big.”

"Wrong." Before the gang leader could celebrate, Masamoto Matsumoto interrupted them and said: "Those cities are not yet in our possession, but we have the opportunity to turn them into ours. , so now is not the time to delay, let us rush to seize the city!"

"Yes, hurry up and grab it. Now the entire north of the line from Nagoya to Fukui is a vacuum zone. Just send ten or twenty thousand people to grab a city. Then as long as a thousand people are left to guard, others can continue to move forward and grab other cities. , I missed such a good opportunity, but it will never come again. Everyone, hurry up and organize your troops to rush!"

After figuring out the whole story, the presidents no longer doubted this or that. They threw all their coffins at Matsumoto Masaru and once again bought a large number of NPC troops and ran out to rob the city.

Since these cities are all unguarded, it does not take many people to capture them. Those guild leaders simply stopped following Masamoto Matsumoto. They separated their teams and brought some NPCs with them to start working alone. After all, it was a waste of time for everyone to gather together and fight city by city. It was not possible to spread out and fully blossom. Anyway, the strategic intentions of the Chinese are already obvious. No matter how loose their divisions are, the Chinese will not come to trouble them. There is no need to worry at all.

This kind of fighting method that is close to robbing money made all the members of the Ghost Dragon Club and the guilds that followed them go crazy. Throughout the night, these guys were running around on Honshu Island in Japan as if they were beaten to death. , overnight, almost all the area north of the line from Nagoya to Fukui on Honshu Island was captured by Masamoto Matsumoto and the others. Of course, this kind of occupation actually has no practical significance other than a nominal occupation. What's the use of a thousand people defending a city? No one is attacking them now. If someone were to attack them, they would not be able to defend any city. Unless the city is full of masters like me and Masamoto Matsumoto, what use can a thousand people do in an urban battle?

By dawn of the next day, the proud members of the Ghost Dragon Club and the players from several guilds who followed them all entered a period of fatigue. Looking at the Hokkaido Island north of the Tsugaru Strait, these people were completely satisfied. But the strength is insufficient. However, they are not worried about Hokkaido, because now both the moths and the Chinese who are competing for their territory are in the area south of the line from Nagoya to Fukui, and their control of the northern part of Honshu means that if they do not go by sea If these two forces have to pass through their territory to reach Hokkaido, what else do they have to worry about with this kind of land blocked by their own territory? The Japanese players following Masamoto Matsumoto are convinced that it is only a matter of time before Hokkaido becomes their territory.

After struggling all night, everyone was forced to go offline under the forced order of Matsumoto Masaka to solve physical problems such as eating, drinking, and diarrhea. Then they were gathered together for assisted deep sleep. As for Matsumoto Masaka himself, of course he also rested together. . Although he deliberately saved his physical strength, as the commander-in-chief, Masamoto Matsumoto had a lot to do after all, and it would definitely not be possible without rest. Fortunately, we originally arranged for Matsumoto Masaka to have a lot of spies who knew the inside story as his subordinates. These people can completely replace him for a while when Matsumoto Masaka is away, and they will never have time when these people are taking turns to rest. A blank appears.

While Matsumoto was congratulating them that they were extremely busy, the guys in our guild and Fulcrum City were not idle either. The job of our guild is more obvious, which is to gather troops scattered across Japan and unify them into one force. Although these tens of millions of people are spread out a little sparsely over the entire territory of Japan, the concentration is still considerable. At least the Japanese in Fulcrum City have to deal with it carefully. After all, their total military strength is now only 40 to 50 million. This number was only reached by purchasing many new troops after the First World War in Fulcrum City. , if we rely solely on the remaining troops after the war, the total strength may not be much. Of course, they are the defenders in Fulcrum City, and we are the attackers. According to the general practice of siege warfare, the siege side usually needs several times the strength of the opponent to win, but this is calculated based on general conditions. Firstly, "Zero" is a diversified fantasy game, and there are many powerful things that can destroy the advantage of the city wall. Secondly, our guild's troops have always had two to three times more combat power than other guilds' troops. Therefore, this numerical advantage and city defense advantage are really nothing. According to the words of those onlookers on other countries' forums, that is-the outcome remains to be seen.

Just because they are not sure whether they can hold it or not, the guys in Fulcrum City can only prepare as hard as they can. If they still can't hold it, then there is nothing they can do.

"Damn it, we are already in danger at this time, and that guy Masamoto Matsumoto is still occupying territory everywhere. This guy who doesn't care about the interests of the country and the nation really should die!"

One of the heads of several major guilds in the conference hall of Fulcrum City couldn't help but cursed loudly. There were many presidents of various guilds sitting around them, although they all knew in their hearts that Matsumoto Masaru was angry with them. , but when it comes to their own interests, their ideas are different. No matter what, Fulcrum City is now Japanese territory, and they all think that it would be wrong for Matsumoto Masaka not to come back to rescue him. Of course, if their positions were reversed with Matsumoto Masaka's, they would definitely not be more generous than Matsumoto Masaka. But that's just a but, they are not in Masamoto Matsumoto's position now, so they can continue to scold Masamoto Matsumoto for being shameless while thinking about their own interests.

"You're scolding him now and he can't hear you. I think it's better if we send a notice asking Masamoto Matsumoto to come for reinforcements?" Another guy who was even more shameless than the guy just now stood up and said.

A guy with a bit of normal thinking said: "We treated him like that before and made him run away in anger. Now that we are in the war, we think of him. Will he come back again?"

"Hmph, Fulcrum City is the strategic center. If he doesn't help defend the city, he is a collaborator. Let's announce the current situation. If you don't believe it, he won't come back." Anyone who dares to say this must have become more shameless than a nuclear base. The protective layer is even thicker, and most people have a limit to their shamelessness. If you don't have such a thick skin, you will never say such a thing.

The person who had scolded Masamoto Matsumoto the most before heard this and immediately stood up and said: "This is a good idea. Doesn't Masa Matsumoto want to have an image? Let him come. If he comes, he will be a national hero. If he doesn't come, he will be a national hero." He is a *** thief."

"Sneeze..." Masamoto Matsumoto, who was far away in Tokyo at this time, suddenly sneezed. "Damn, it must be those guys in Fulcrum City who are thinking about me!"
