Chapter 103 For the City
A player from the Women's League is running desperately on the streets of Nilan City. Behind her are several siege players chasing her, and her body is already covered with a lot of scars. War does not distinguish between men and women. , even in games, it is the same. Being female does not allow her to get any preferential treatment on the battlefield!
Suddenly, the female player tripped over something, and she fell forward and fell heavily to the ground. She quickly turned over, only to see several players rushing forward, waving their swords in a menacing manner. Seeing that the sword was about to fall on her head, the female player was ready to close her eyes and wait for death, but the sudden vibration on the ground made her open her eyes to study again. Suddenly, several black shadows roared past her on both sides with strong winds. When she reacted and wanted to seize the opportunity to escape, she realized that the enemies in front of her had turned into headless corpses and were spraying wildly. Blood poured downward. Their arms are still raised in the sky, maintaining the posture of wanting to kill people, but they can no longer wait for the next order from the head, because the head is no longer there!
The same thing was happening everywhere in the city. According to Su Mei's request in advance, the elite members of the Mist Legion were moved to the front. The Mist Legion, led by the Agent Death and the Death Knight, took the cavalry as the forerunner and almost killed all the hostile players who entered the city with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. The training of these cavalry is extremely terrifying. They never carry out unnecessary killings. All cavalry have only one fighting method - to urge the war horse to pass by the enemy, and use the speed of the war horse to directly cut off the enemy's head with the knight's sword. Lose. It is precisely because of this fighting method that the women's league players and the siege players saw the horses flash past, and then the heads disappeared!
Unlike Scott and others who came from the temple, the troops of the Mist Legion only focused on killing the enemy and did not pay attention to other things. No one shouted slogans during the entire legion battle. You can only hear two sounds in the entire army, one is the hoofbeat of the war horse and the other is the rustle of the knight's sword killing the head. A quiet killing machine, this is my summary of the Mist Legion. The troops entering the city only managed to hold out for three minutes before they were forced to crawl out of the city.
People outside the city realized that something was wrong with the battle. The cannons and trebuchets that had ceased fire were about to fire again. Suddenly three huge black figures appeared above them with a dull whine. The wind pressure caused by the dragon's oversized wings has a heart-stopping feeling, and the powerful wind pressure makes people feel that their eardrums are swelling!
Three dragon flames appeared without warning, and more than half of the cannons and all the trebuchets turned into a pile of debris. The iron cannons were okay, they were only temporarily burned red, but the poor trebuchets were all ablaze. Only part of the iron frame was left in the fire, and those wooden parts couldn't withstand the power of the dragon flames! The dragon's defense penetration ability is really great!
As the cannon was destroyed, chaos began to appear in the army outside the city. Xiaofeng's appearance aggravated the situation. The fire all over the sky turned half of the sky red. It was originally a cloudy day here, and the dark clouds in the sky were illuminated red by the flames, as if it was the end of the world!
For this super team, the Dark Patrollers of the Mist Legion jointly launched the natural disaster-level super magic - Tianchu! This magic requires 12,000 level 850 Dark Patrollers to work together, and it only takes one time for these 12,000 troops to use up all their magic power immediately. You can imagine the power of such a large consumption of magic!
The already dense dark clouds in the sky suddenly became thicker, and the entire cloud layer suddenly lit up. A huge golden six-pointed star appeared in the sky, but a strange small triangle flashed in the center of the six-pointed star. The flame created by Xiaofeng on the ground suddenly shot up to more than a foot high, and the color of the flame also changed from light blue to purple. A thunderbolt suddenly struck in the sky, and then streaks of thunder fell like heavy rain. There are actually many giant ball lightnings mixed in among these thunder and lightning. The power of these things is probably not much worse than the dragon's thunder cannon.
The thunder continued, and suddenly there was heavy rain among the dark clouds in the sky. But soon the players below realized something was wrong. This was not rain but blood. What was falling in the sky was blood! What's even worse is that the blood not only burns like strong acid, but also burns. The flames that were more than a foot long suddenly turned into a fire that was more than ten meters high and filled the sky. At this time, all the women's league players in the city had returned to the city wall. The scene in front of them completely conquered everyone's hearts!
The whole magic only lasted for two minutes and then disappeared, but there was no living person in the area covered by the 'touch' method on the ground. There were burnt and smoking corpses everywhere, and there was a strange smell in the air. The smell of blood, I wonder if it is caused by the blood rain!
The female warrior looked at the battlefield with a face full of surprise. The magic just covered a circular area with a radius of about one kilometer, which almost covered all the siege troops. Only a total of no more than 2,000 people were just outside the range. But after surviving, seeing the situation in front of them, they all wisely unfolded the scroll to return to the city, leaving it meaningless!
"Has your guild's combat effectiveness always been like this?" The female warrior no longer knows how to describe us!
"These are city defense NPCs, not from our guild! I'm just taking them back to the city today. It doesn't matter if I kill some enemies on the way. I won't be able to leave the city after I get back! This kind of city defense NPCs cannot leave the city to fight within a certain range. !”
"But they can still participate in the city defense battle, right?"
"Of course! This is their job! Aren't they just for city defense?"
The warrior woman reached out to me. "Formal introduction, my name is Locklear. Now it seems that merging into your guild is not such a bad thing!"
"Hello, my name is Ziri!" I stretched out my hand to shake her hand: "I don't understand what you mean!"
"The original purpose of building the guild was to have a quiet environment, so I hid here. Little did I know that there was a rumor outside that there was a treasure behind our guild. As a result, people kept attacking our guild, making it even more disturbing!"
faint! That's not a rumor, there are real treasures in the Death Mountains behind! "Since you agree to merge, let's start the handover!"
"OK!"
I submitted the annexation application, and it was approved after Locklear confirmed it twice. I suddenly received a notification from the system that our guild has become the first multinational guild! I'm dizzy! I quickly asked Locklear and Rose to take care of the things that needed to be taken away from the city, while I ran to the side to see the system notification!
As soon as the merger was successful, I was bombarded with information from the system, and a lot of stuff was sent to me! After taking a closer look, there are only two important items! The first one is to notify me of the receiving city Niland! Nilan was originally a city belonging to the Women's Alliance, but now that they have merged in, the city will of course be placed under the name of the Frost Rose Alliance! This is troublesome! One Essinger is already too busy, what if we add Nilan? Besides, Nilan is in Germany, how do I control such an enclave? I can't separate the armies and put them on both sides, right?
There are other notifications besides this. The second notification is about rewards. The system said that because our guild is the first guild to own cities in two countries at the same time, it will give our guild some rewards! However, the notice did not say what the reward was. All I had to do was ask the city management NPC in any city!
It’s such a mixed blessing! enclave? What do I do with this enclave? Sell? tear down? Or keep it for yourself? Forget it, let’s take a look at the reward first!
I found Locklear who was counting the damage to materials, asked about the location of the city construction NPC, and then ran directly over. The management NPC of this city is actually a woman! As soon as I passed by, she immediately greeted me enthusiastically. After all, I am the new city lord! (Before the city does not designate a city lord, the default is the president of the guild to which it belongs)
"Our guild has a reward from a multinational guild. Do you know what it is?"
"Yes! I know!" She picked up a document from the table behind her and handed it to me. "I just received the notice too! The system allows our guild to have a transnational transmission platform. This is a construction permit!"
"Transnational transmission platform?"
"It's the teleportation array! Ordinary teleportation arrays can only teleport to each other within the country. The transnational teleportation platform allows two foreign cities that have such teleportation arrays to teleport to each other at the same time!"
"That means that as long as I build a cross-border transmission platform in Essinger and build another one here, I can transmit directly from Essinger to Nilan just like I can teleport between cities in my country?"
"Yes! But one thing to note is that the transnational teleportation platform and the ordinary teleportation array are not interchangeable. If Nilan builds a transnational teleportation platform, you can only teleport to the transnational teleportation platform in another city when you stand on it, but cannot It’s not possible to reach an ordinary teleportation array, even if it’s a domestic teleportation array!”
"learn!"
"By the way, does the president need to change the name of the city?"
"Change the name? Yes! It really needs to be changed! Let's do it! Change Nilan City to Tianyu City, which means a very far away city!" One is in China and the other is in Germany, how can it not be far away!
"Okay, I will go through the name change procedures! In addition, this is the construction drawing of the transnational transmission platform. Where do you want to build it first?"
"Can't we both be together?"
"There is only one drawing, there is no way to build two at the same time!"
I took the drawing and looked at its properties: "Cannot be copied, cannot be traded, and cannot be lost!" Good guy, there are enough restrictions! "Do you know how long it takes to build a platform?" What I mean is that if I can complete two before the Temple of Light attacks, I don't need to run back with the Mist Legion, I can just use the teleportation array!
"A teleportation array takes about 7 days!"
faint! Hope is dashed! It’s all signed today. Even if the construction starts right away, it will be signed when it’s finished. The 31st is the day when the Temple of Light will attack the city. I don’t have time to build another teleportation array in Essinger, and one of these things can’t be used yet. ! It seems that I have no choice but to take the troops back by boat. Fortunately, Noah's big empty shell can be temporarily used as a troop transport. There is plenty of room in that thing!
"Let's do this! I'll take the design drawings to Essinger. I'll finish Essinger's first, and then send them over when we're half-finished!" The only result I considered was that it would save trouble. After Isinger is built first, send the drawings over next time, and then wait here for a few days before you can use the teleportation array to return to Isinger. It is better than building this side first, and then having to take a boat to go back and forth. It will save trouble. !
After a long period of rejoicing, in the end we still had to take a large army on a boat! Not only the Mist Legion, but also these German beauties who joined the Women's Federation must follow me to Isengard. Although Tianyu City is also our city, and will be connected through the teleportation array in the future, I must bring them at the moment. Go to them, because those players may come back for revenge after the battle just now! It's impossible for these girls from the Women's Alliance to defend, and it's impossible for my Mist Army to stay and defend Tianyu! In comparison, Essinger is much more important than Tianyu, that is our base! Even if there is a teleportation formation between the two sides in the future, I will still put these girls in Isengard and transfer some girls from the Sakura Club over. After all, they are better at fighting!
There were too many things in the Women's Federation, and it couldn't be packed away in a while. I asked Rose to make unified arrangements, and I rushed to the headquarters of the Iron Crusaders in advance to find Ashford.
"Sorry to bother you again!"
"How can I help?"
"That's it!" I thought about how to organize the words for a long time. "A German guild has joined my guild!"
"You mean annexation?"
"Yes!" I said with some embarrassment: "But now we are in some trouble!"
"What trouble?"
"This guild that has joined us is the Women's Federation!"
"What?" Ashford was shocked! "How did you do it?"
I roughly explained what happened, and then said: "The problem now is the city of the Women's League! We are going back to China soon, and the players of the Women's League will also go together. Tianyu City... Oh! I forgot to mention it. Nilan changed his name to Tianyu! Once we leave, Tianyu will become an empty city, and those guilds that were driven away by us will definitely not give up. Seeing us leave, they will definitely come back to take advantage of us! "
"Do you want me to send troops to help you defend Tianyu City during your absence?" Ashford's mind was spinning very quickly.
"That's what I mean! Of course I won't let you work in vain! You make a price and we will discuss it slowly!"
Ashford said cheerfully: "Defense is not a problem. After all, we are considered a strategic partnership, but business still needs to be done. You must give some compensation! Let me think about it!" Ashford stood up and said After walking around the room for a few times, he said, "You have an army of high-level NPCs on hand now, right?"
"What do you want to do?" It was obvious that he wanted my soldiers to help fight the war. "Let me explain in advance that this army is a mission I have accepted and cannot be mobilized casually! They have many restrictions! The first is that they cannot use the teleportation array, so don't even think about wanting them to enter the city directly. Also , although it’s my decision which way to go back, but obvious detours are not allowed! So, unless the thing you want me to hit happens to be between Tianyu and Dorut, don’t even think about it!”
"How do you know that the city I want you to hit happens to be on this road?" Ashford smiled so horribly! "Don't worry, I will fight the battle, you only have two jobs!"
"What job?"
"First of all, your mages are very powerful. Can you ask them to help me suppress the opponent's cannons? It would be best to make a gap in the city wall to facilitate the attack!"
"What city is it? How big is it? How many artillery fires are there?"
"An advancing fortress called Poset County has a small magic crystal cannon, 0 front-loaded artillery, 0 rear-loading artillery, and more than 400 ballistae! The city wall is 23 meters high and 9 meters thick. It is made of granite and has no moat! There are 500 NPC guards and 8,000 players in the city."
"Suppressing artillery is not a problem. It should be possible to open a hole in the city wall!"
"That's good! Your second job is to mobilize your elites, preferably those above level 900. After the city is conquered, help me kill all the NPC guards in the city, so that my offensive troops will not be lost. It’s so tragic! We’ve fought in this city many times, but it was all because those level 800 NPC guards blocked the intersections, and the players couldn’t defeat them at all, so we failed every time!”
"As long as these are the case, there should be no problem!"
"Okay! You help me attack Poset County. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will help you defend Tianyu after you leave."
I stood up and said: "Then I'll go back first. Let me know when you want to fight. By the way, you'd better start the war early. My mission has a time limit. If I can't reach China on the night of the 30th, I will be finished!" "
"Since you are in a hurry, I will advance the battle time. Let's do it! The battle will start on Saturday, the 24th! It will start in the morning and end at noon. You can set off in the afternoon. Six days is enough for you to return to China, right? You are here Didn’t it only take less than four days?”
"No. 24? It's still a little tight!"
"Let's do this!" Ashford said: "If you are willing to send more soldiers to help me attack the city and end the battle as soon as possible, I can advance the battle to tomorrow night, which is the night of the 21st. But you must ensure that I 3 End the battle within an hour!”
"OK!" Isn't it just a city? The worst case scenario is that Tianchu will blow down a side of the city wall again, and then bring high-level NPCs in to massacre the city. I don’t believe I can’t defeat it in 3 hours!
After returning to Tianyu City, I went straight to the factory and found Locklear. "Quick, tell me if you have any siege weapons?"
"Siege the city?" Locklear and Rose shouted together. "Who are we going to fight?"
"I negotiated a deal with the Iron Crusaders. After we left, they helped us defend Tianyu, but the condition is that we help them defeat a city called Poset County before leaving!"
"When will the war start?" Rose asked.
"Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock!"
"Time is still tight!" Rose sighed.
Locklear said: "There are siege equipment, but not too many! We are just studying it for fun, and have never actually attacked the city, so we only have one sample of each!"
"No wonder none of the defensive weapons on your city walls are the same! Find out what they are!"
"I'll go find him right away. You guys go to the square and wait for me!"
Rose and I waited in the square for more than half an hour before the things were delivered. The things in front of me are really all kinds of strange things, everything is there! The first thing I noticed was something scary. "Hello? This isn't v1, is it?"
Locklear said: "This thing was originally designed to be v1, but the conditions did not allow it! This is in the game, there is no computer! Although there are magic crystals that can provide power, there is no equipment that can be used for calculation! So we did it right Ground missiles are impossible!”
"Then what is this?"
"This is an aerial bomb! It's like a rocket! Just aim it and fire it, and it will fly straight forward until it hits something and explodes!"
"Isn't this thing powered by magic crystal?"
"Of course! Although there is gunpowder in this game, the power of the gunpowder here is very small. This forces us to make the warhead larger. The rockets have become larger, and the thrusters must also be larger. , but there is no real efficient propulsion fuel here, so we have to use magic crystal!"
"How much does a rocket like this cost?"
Locklear held up three fingers.
"300 crystal coins?"
"No! It's 3,000!"
"Is it too expensive?"
"You don't need it to blow up the city. This thing has only two uses. One is to deal with the opponent's magic crystal cannon, and twenty is used to open holes in the city wall!"
"Got it!" I was looking at a cannon-like thing next to me. "What is this? It feels like a cannon but not quite like it!"
"This is a flying cannon used by the airborne troops! It can drive people directly into the city!"
"Who had this bad idea? If you hit someone with this, you're no longer a trapeze artist!"
"What's that called?"
"Calling useless people! Use cannons to shoot living people, thank you for your imagination!"
Locklear explained, "You misunderstood. This thing is not meant to drive people into the city, but to send people into the sky!" She picked up an object from next to the cannon, and when she unfolded it, it turned out to be a glider! "What we designed is for the player to carry this thing into a special fixed container, and then put the whole person and the container into the cannon. After firing, the player will be 'shot' high into the sky, and when it reaches the highest point, the player can push it away by himself. container, and then unfold the glider and fly into the target city! However, this thing has a flaw, that is, the players inside will suffer blood damage after being launched, but it is generally not very serious, and they must be in the sky after being launched. It will take a while before entering the city, and players can use this time to take 'medicine' to make up for the blood loss!"
"It still doesn't feel good! Don't you have something more formal?"
"Yes!" Locklear led me to a strange carriage. She folded up the carriage shed to reveal its contents. "This is an improved trebuchet. Its biggest advantage is its accuracy. Without considering the influence of wind, the error is generally no more than two meters! And this thing does not need to be disassembled and assembled like ordinary trebuchets. This one can be used directly, and even 'Shoot' on the move!"
"This is good! How many of these do we have?"
"Just this one! We have never attacked other players' cities, so we don't need this thing, so we didn't build it! Although trebuchets can also be used for defense, it is too troublesome to build and is not as good as a large fixed trebuchet.' The shooting range is far, so it is not built!"
"If we start working quickly from now on, how much can we produce before noon tomorrow?"
"Two at most!"
"It's better than just this one! You go and build it right away! Send it to Poset County before 8 o'clock tomorrow night! I will set off first with the attack force!"
"clear!"
Although it is not yet noon, I have already left Tianyu City with the fog army and headed towards Poset County. The Mist Legion cannot use the teleportation arrays of other guilds. We have to walk there, so we must leave early! Fortunately, they are all undead armies and there is no endurance limit! Otherwise, if you take a walk and rest, you won’t be able to arrive the day after tomorrow!
It's not a good idea to show off with hundreds of thousands of troops and two million skeletons in broad daylight, but I really have no choice! We couldn't use the teleportation array because we were in a hurry and couldn't wait until night. The fog army couldn't take a detour yet, so I had to take them on the main road!
Millions of troops lined up for several miles. The cavalry clearing the way had thundering hooves, and the infantry behind them was even more terrifying. Hundreds of thousands of people were running at the same pace. The movement was absolutely rare! All the wild beasts within a few miles were scared away, including many timid players! But not everyone was scared away, on the contrary, some people were attracted!
