Chapter 121 The Battle Begins
The guard standing guard in the hall quickly came over and took the scroll from the corpse's hand. I took the scroll from the guard's hand and opened it to read.
What a terrible military situation! The army that came to join the war was actually not just the Temple of Light's own army. About 100,000 players joined the army of the Temple of Light and declared war on us. This is still a trivial matter. After all, the player levels are not very high now, and NPCs can easily deal with enemies. The real problem lies behind. According to intelligence, the army of the Temple of Light split into two, and one part went towards Miyun City. This Miyun City is a port city, and the only purpose for the army of the Temple of Light to go there is to take a boat. I'm not afraid of a naval battle. Essinger's firepower is absolutely invincible. NPCs can't exert their level advantage at sea, but we take advantage! What I am really worried about is that the Temple of Light uses ships to transport troops. In this case, not only will we not be able to implement the original division and elimination plan, we will even have to go to war with the enemy in advance.
It is now 11 o'clock in the morning). Under normal circumstances, the troops from the Temple of Light will not arrive until noon on the 31st. But if they use ships to transport troops, we may have to deal with enemy attacks on the night of the 30th! I quickly informed General Wu to come down and discuss countermeasures together!
When I was thinking of a solution, Arni came in from outside. "Someone just informed me that the spy I sent out has returned. Where is he?"
I pointed to the table next to me. The spy's body was still lying on it! "This is the information sent back!" I threw the scroll to her.
Arni caught the scroll and looked at it. "Cunning angels!"
Outside, Su Mei, Ying, Rose and others all ran in. Da Guofan shouted from afar: "I heard the guard came back with information. What did you say?"
Arni handed the scroll to the eagle, and the eagle opened the scroll and read it. It just so happened that General Wu also came down to listen to the information together.
As soon as Ying finished reading the general, he continued: "It seems that the situation has become responsible! Let's go up there to look at the map and study it!"
Everyone ran to the top of the tower together, and the Eye of Hell opened the map again. I pointed it out to everyone on the map. "The enemy is here, this is Miyun City, and we are here. The enemy has left the city an hour ago, and the troops are divided into two groups. Half of the troops are heading towards Miyun, and the other half is still taking the route we originally expected. Because on both sides The troops are divided in half, so the numbers are very scary. It is impossible for us to eliminate any one of them, and it is almost impossible to completely block all the troops!"
General Wu suddenly interrupted me and said, "Wait a minute. How long does it take to get here?" He was referring to the enemy's route to Miyun.
“About a day’s journey!”
"How far is this Miyun City from us?"
"It takes more than two days to walk. If you take a boat, you should be able to get there in seven to eight hours!"
"How long does it take for the dragon to fly?"
"Forty to fifty minutes!"
Su Mei suddenly intervened and said, "You don't want the dragon to go over and burn the boat in advance, do you?"
"Why not? Those big lizards are so fast. After burning the ship, they can rush back to blow up the canyon and intercept the enemy forces here. I don't think there is any problem at all! As long as we army troops work hard, there will be no problem at all! And the enemy divides his troops After that, the number of troops here will be much smaller, and we might hope to wipe out half of the enemies before they get close!"
It does make sense when I think about it. At the speed of the dragons, it takes less than two hours to go back and forth, which does not affect our battle plan at all! "Okay then! I'll have the dragons demolish Miyun City right away!"
"Wait!" The general stopped me. "Don't go now. We have spies. Don't the enemies also have them? If we go now, we will only let the enemy change the battle plan back to the original plan. Not only will there be no benefit, but it will also be easy to alert the snake. Anyway, the big lizards are fast, so let them go tonight .The enemy will be halfway on the road by then, and it will waste time no matter which way we go. This will be of great benefit to our plan!"
"That's right! Let's talk about it in the evening! But our army needs to set off immediately, right? We also have a lot of infantry in the team, and they are not very fast!"
"Then let them set off quickly!"
The war is finally about to begin. In the central square of Essinger, hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting in neat lines. Those who can stand here are all mid-level and senior officers of each army. It is impossible for tens of millions of troops to stand here. Essinger does not have such a big square! Dragon King and Al Ni formally handed over the command of the troops to me in front of everyone, so that I can coordinate these troops!
The handover ceremony was simple and ended in ten minutes. I stood on the 'presidential' platform inside the central square and issued a call to arms. The magic weapon spreads my voice to every corner of the city, allowing the troops outside the square to hear my voice. (Let’s see how knowledgeable everyone is. This declaration is from a game. Who knows which game it is? There will be bonus points for correct answers!)
I said in a slow and heavy voice: "Players of the Rose Alliance, warriors of the Dark Temple, innocent souls from hell, and giant dragons flying in the sky, I would like to remind you of the current situation and use this as a summons. The reason for your coming! No one can deny the crisis we are facing at this time. Maybe we were once hostile to each other and attacked each other because of some small things. But now, a more powerful enemy appears in front of us, and this enemy threatens For the good of all of us. It's time for us, as races or camps, to put aside the hatred and conflict between us and work together!
An unwinnable war is imminent, and we cannot lose our cities, our friends, our lands, lest we be divided in an instant and wiped out one by one. Peace is no longer there, the cloud of war hangs over us. Until we defeat our enemies, where will you seek peace?
The huge strength of the Temple of Light is obvious. We have seen our companions annihilated by the angel's magic, and we have seen our land trampled under the iron hoof of the Paladin. No matter how powerful and invincible they are, they still symbolize the obstacles in our way!
Friends who are with me, it's time to establish a new order! Unity is strength. We from different forces have united together. These forces will condense into one force and be led by me. From this center of power, I will be watching you. From now on, we will never be at war with each other, nothing will ever destroy this rare unity, and we will never have the illusion of peace with the Temple of Light. Don't let our enemies stand in our way, and we will eventually achieve great victory - regardless of the price! "
At the end of my declaration, there was no sound at all from below! I looked around guiltily. What I just said couldn't be that bad, could it? Why is there no reaction at all?
Just when I was confused, a voice suddenly came from somewhere: "The forces of darkness will win! Defeat the light and let darkness cover the earth!"
At this time, the people below suddenly burst out. "Must win! Must win! Must win...! Fight to the Temple of Light! Let the light forces get out of China!" After a long time, the people below were so absorbed in listening that they forgot to cheer. Now they reacted and their voices were loud. The entire Essinger is shaking.
I raised my hand to signal the people below to be quiet, and almost instantly the whole city was silent. The discipline of the NPC army is indeed surprisingly good! The military general next to him nodded and said: "If any country's troops can be so unified, then the combat effectiveness of this army will never be low!"
I whispered: "American troops have the worst discipline, and they are still very good at fighting!"
"They were well equipped at that time. Under the same external conditions, the combat effectiveness of American soldiers was not as good as the tribal armed forces in South Africa! The richer a country is, the more afraid of death its soldiers are and the worse their combat effectiveness is. Soldiers with tribal armed forces dare to When making suicide bombs, the American soldiers will call for air support even when they see a bunker, can it be the same!"
I nodded and turned back to the loudspeaker. "Soldiers, I declare that the Battle of Essinger has officially begun. Victory can only belong to those who are both brave and resourceful. We must now use our wisdom to compete with the Temple of Light. Brave soldiers, now come to us Advance to the ambush location!"
"..."
The troops of the Dark Legion actually sang a strange song collectively. I couldn't understand what they were singing at all. They were singing neither Chinese nor English, but it sounded very nice. It felt like some kind of march. And so on, the rhythm is quite exciting!
Except for the Mist Legion who cannot leave the city too far because they are city guards, the Dark Legion all left Isengard. There were millions of regular troops plus tens of millions of skeletons and zombies. Even though the queue was 200 columns wide, it was still very long! There are many carriages on the periphery of the Dark Legion, with various musical instruments on them, accompanying the troops. The Dark Legion obviously used this to coordinate the pace of their troops. Tens of millions of troops walking at the same pace, the sound will definitely make your heart beat faster. The leading troops of the Mist Legion had left for half an hour, and the last troops walked out from the gate of Essinger, and the long queue stretched to the horizon.
The advantage that players have over NPCs is that they can use the teleportation array. They only need to teleport to a city near the destination first, and then reach the destination on foot! This can save a lot of time, so the player team has not left Essinger for the time being. Because the dragons are fast, there is no need to be too anxious. Besides, they have to deal with the battleships of Miyun City first!
I decided to use this short period of time to erect the Tower of Babel first, and while the dragons were all there, I quickly transported the Tower of Babel to the inner city and found a place to place it. In order to improve safety, we also built a ring building to surround the tower.
When the Tower of Babel was erected, I immediately heard the system prompt: "The ruins system is established, and the player city Essinger has obtained the ruins of the Tower of Babel. Do you want to confirm receipt?"
"Confirm!" How can we not want something that we finally got back?
The system prompts again: "The Tower of Babel has a guardian beast system. Receiving the Tower of Babel will also receive a spear and become a guardian beast of the city. Unless the guild is disbanded, it cannot be changed once confirmed. Please confirm whether to accept it?"
I have experienced the combat effectiveness of the spear. It is extraordinary in strength and is definitely qualified to be a guardian beast. Besides, the spear is a flying creature, which has a great advantage. Warrior professions have almost no good way to deal with air targets, and in this game, whether it is players or NPCs, the majority of them are warrior professions! "Confirm receipt!"
The system announcement suddenly became a guild-wide announcement. "The Frost Rose Alliance has successfully taken over the ruined Tower of Babel. The ruins guardian beast has officially been converted into Isinger's city guardian beast. All players in the Frost Rose Alliance can wait for a spear of the same level as themselves. This creature does not occupy the magic pet position. , regardless of experience, can be resurrected like a familiar within a certain period of time after death. Since the Frost Rose Alliance is the first guild in this game to obtain a city guardian beast, a guild totem task will be awarded based on the actual situation of the Frost Rose Alliance."
The guild totem is actually a disguised guardian beast, but it is different from ordinary guardian beasts. The requirement for guardian beasts is that the level cannot exceed level 900, but the requirement for totems is that the level must not be lower than level 900. Once a guild obtains a totem, all cities in the guild except the main city can be protected by 10 totem beasts, and the main city of the guild can receive 100 guardian totems.
Unlike guardian beasts, totems can only be obtained by each player. Totems can only be obtained at the city level, and totems can not only help defense, they can also participate in offense. Totems are not restricted by cities. As long as the guild president gives the order, totem beasts can actively attack other cities. Player guilds can even gather totem beasts from all their own cities to participate in siege battles! Totem beasts are automatically resurrected in their respective cities 3 hours after their death, and like city guards, they do not lose levels.
Although this thing is very tempting, like the guardian beast, no guild in the world has it. Not for anything else, just because his conditions are harsher than those of the guardian beasts. Although the tasks of guardian beasts are difficult to complete, you can find NPCs to take tasks at any time. As long as you have the strength, you can get them. But totem missions are rare. If you can’t complete a mission once in a while, you never know when you’ll get another chance! I really didn’t expect that I would get a totem quest for nothing! Regardless of whether it’s done or not, it’s always good to get it!
I opened the guild task reader, and there were three tasks floating in it. The first one is to build the city, the second one is the battle with the Temple of Light, and the last one is the totem mission. I opened it and saw that the task actually asked me to go to the Dragon Island Kaaba to find the Dragon King, and then help the Dragon King complete a task, and then I could get the dragon to become a guardian totem. Ha ha! The Dragon King is here with me, what tasks are there that are difficult to handle! I quickly went to the Dragon King to ask for a totem!
After hearing my explanation, the Dragon King didn't give me the totem immediately. "What did you just say? Is it a totem?"
"Well! The mission says to ask for it from the Dragon King! Aren't you the Dragon King? I think that mission is exempted! I worked so hard to fight against the Temple of Light for the life and death of the dragon clan. I know you will be embarrassed to let me do the mission again. , just give me the totem!"
"Where did the mission say we were looking for the Dragon King?"
"Dragon Island Kaaba's! What's wrong?"
"There are five branches of the Dragon Clan. My branch belongs to the Asian Dragon Clan. The place we live in is called Emerald Island, not the Kaaba! The Kaaba is in Europe, where the European Dragon Clan lives! Their boss seems to be called Leimen or something. , I can’t remember clearly, it’s not under my control anyway! You have to go to Europe to find him if you want to do a mission!”
"No!" Bai was so happy! "Then do you know the specific location of that island?"
"I know, I still have a map at home. When this battle is over, I will give you a copy!" The Dragon King is so generous! Forget it, after the war, I will still go to Europe to set up the transnational teleportation array in Tianyu City, and complete the Dragon Island mission by the way. By the way, Lin Yue is still on Long Island, so I just happened to pick her up together this time!
Everything in the city is over. After the player team obtained the guardian beast, they immediately set off towards the canyon where they were ambushed. Because I had to follow the dragon to attack the port at night, I didn't go with him for the time being. Anyway, there was a military general commanding at the front line, so it didn't matter whether I was there or not!
I sat on a stool next to the City Tree and asked about the completion of the defense system of Isinger, the City Tree. Vina stood behind me and suddenly patted me and said, "Is there a female crystal magic beetle on your neck?"
"kindness!"
"Have you ever made a blood pool bubble yourself?"
"I'm a player, why are I going down there? Besides, that thing is so black and bubbling, I don't want to go down there!"
"You don't need the help of the blood pool, but the beetles on your body do! These things will definitely be strengthened a lot after being soaked!"
It does make sense when you think about it. The crystal magic beetle is only a level one. A creature of such a low level must be of great use. It really should be soaked in the water! For the sake of strength, I came to the blood pool even though I was reluctant. I stood at the edge of the blood pool and hesitated for a long time. I started to hesitate again after seeing the disgusting blood. Just when I wasn't sure whether I should go down or not, Vina suddenly pushed me hard from behind. I lost my center of gravity and fell forward. Weina, who was snickering at the same time, didn't expect that I lost my balance and turned around quickly to hold her. As a result, the two of them fell down together! There was a splash, blood splashed everywhere, and the two of us rolled into the pool together.
"Pounce!" I stood up from the pool suddenly, spit out the blood in my mouth, and quickly took a breath!
Wei Na also stood up from the blood all wet. "Really! I helped you make up your mind, why did you pull me down too!"
"You are not from the light force, what's the big deal about bubble blood pool!"
"If I had known, I would have kicked him!" Wei Na said angrily.
"Hahahaha! You call this retribution!"
"I'm so disgusted!" The little girl Wei Na splashed me with blood and water in a temper, but when I didn't fight back, she stopped continuing. "How's your beetle doing?"
I quickly opened the properties and saw that there was indeed a change. The level 100 crystal magic beetle actually evolved into a level 100 crystal beetle, and the number of my summons increased from 1 million to 10,000. It seems that Bubble is indeed right. The attributes of the level 100 crystal beetle are not much higher than those of the level 100 crystal magic beetle, but it has one more skill - Devour! The purpose of this skill is to eat. It's not just chewing something, it's chewing it all up quickly. The limitation of this swallow is that it can only eat non-life units, but this is also very good. Even if you can't eat the enemy directly, it's not bad to chew off the opponent's armor and so on! It would be even better if it was at sea. It would be a good helper for killing and stealing goods by chewing the enemy's warships into sieves!
Vina's clothes turned red and had to leave the blood pool to change clothes. My magic dragon suit was made of Teflon material, dripping and not sticky. The blood dried up as soon as I left the blood pool! Seeing that it was getting late, I hurried to find the Dragon King to get ready.
Ten minutes later, more than 20,000 giant dragons took off from Essinger, circled in the air and then flew towards Miyun City. The scene of more than 20,000 giant dragons flying in formation in the sky is so spectacular. If it were daytime, players below would definitely think they had seen it wrong! Giant dragons that are rarely seen in normal times can actually move in groups!
At this time, Miyun City is still peaceful. No one knows that all the wild adult dragons in Asia are heading here, preparing to completely wipe this port city off the map!
