Chapter 475: Sit Back and Wait.
I don’t care about the situation on Ghost Hand Nobunaga’s side. Although a group of us here are in a very embarrassed state, they are all in a good mood. After everyone boarded the Frost Rose, the captain ordered to return at full speed, and we arrived at Essinger in about twenty minutes. Originally, it would have been much faster to use the teleportation array on the ship to travel across the country between Fulcrum City and Essinger, but almost everyone on our side was injured, and everyone was dissatisfied with their attributes, so we happened to be on the ship. It's time to take a rest. By the time we get to Essinger, everyone has just entered the best state.
After getting off the boat, our group didn't even say hello. We just dispersed and went about our own tasks. We were not just sitting around for the past 20 minutes on the boat. Everyone had already planned what to do after returning home in advance.
According to what was previously agreed on the ship, Christina and Jin Coin all dispersed and rushed to the border area to stare at the Russian large force. Because we had always thought that this large force was probably not a simple feint attack force, so we could not Take it lightly.
Apart from this group of people, the only two people left are me and Hongyue. Hongyue's mission is to go to a city called Tianze Shuifu to join the elite force of our guild. Currently, this elite force is robbing the Russian player's surprise team. This thousand-man team composed entirely of masters was targeted by the elite troops of our guild after their previous whereabouts were exposed. Relying on the advantage of mobility, our guild's troops have fought three times with this thousand-man team. Each time, the opponent used some strange skills or some hidden secret passages to magically escape. I feel that they There should be lurking people inside our country, because it is obviously impossible for them to encounter these secret passages. Besides, it is okay to encounter them once or twice, but three times in a row is too strange. Therefore, the other party must have lurking intelligence personnel, who not only found out all kinds of road information for them, but even left many secret passages for escape.
Relying on these secret passages and the unique skills of some people in the opposing team, this thousand-man team has repeatedly escaped our encirclement and suppression. It's still moving around now. Of course, our encirclement and suppression was not without success. At least the number of the other party's personnel had dropped sharply from more than a thousand to less than three hundred. The loss reached more than 70%.
Despite the heavy casualties, the difference between elite troops composed of high-level players and ordinary troops is that elite troops pay more attention to individual combat effectiveness, so there is no problem that the reduction of personnel will affect the performance of combat effectiveness. However, after all, it is a loss of troops and generals, and the opponent's overall combat effectiveness will obviously drop significantly. It's just that under the current circumstances, this force still has considerable deterrence. After all, if nearly three hundred high-level players suddenly appear at a certain strategic hub. The damage caused was still very serious.
Hong Yue’s current task is to coordinate and assist those elite players to deal with the last three hundred Russian elite players. In order to ensure the smooth execution of this mission, Hong Yue also brought all the dragons used by our guild to defend the city. It's over. Although you can only get about a hundred giant dragons after all your efforts, a giant dragon is a giant dragon after all, and even the ordinary version of the giant dragon is a very terrifying existence. This time, more than a hundred dragons were dispatched at one go to hunt down the less than 300 Russian players. I believe that even if this force cannot be completely annihilated, it will definitely not be a problem to disperse them.
As Hongyue led the team away, I was the only one who came back together. However, my mission is not to go out and do anything. Instead, stay in Essinger.
Although it seems like nothing happens when I stay in Essinger, in fact, I have a lot of tasks. First of all, as the president, my stay in Essinger can stabilize the morale of the military, and I can command the entire battlefield. After all, the God of War is only a tactical commander. He is actually not very good at strategic things. At most, he can reach the level of an ordinary military academy student. Not to mention how awesome it is. Therefore, if I can stay with the God of War at all times, I can guide the entire campaign at a strategic level. In this way, cooperating with the God of War’s tactical command will definitely maximize the combat effectiveness of all members of our guild.
In addition, in addition to stabilizing the morale of the army and the ability to command battles, my stay in Essinger also has several functions.
First. By staying in Essinger, I can serve as a reserve team to support any place at any time. Essinger has always been the central city operated by our guild. All areas of our guild's influence can be directly connected to Essinger through ordinary teleportation arrays or transnational teleportation arrays. In other words, Essinger is equivalent to a transportation hub. You can reach our guild or even any city in the world. Therefore, by staying in Essinger, I have convenient transportation and can reach any battlefield that needs me at any time.
Second, my stay in Essinger actually serves as an insurance policy.
Previously the Russians were divided into two groups. We analyzed it when it attacked our country overtly and covertly. At that time, everyone reached a consensus that Russian players might have more than two invasion forces. According to speculation at the time, the main force of what appeared to be a feint attack force in the border area was probably not a feint attack force, but a real attack force, and it was just deliberately acting like a feint attack force to confuse the public. As for the thousand-man team that Hongyue went to intercept, we generally believed at the time that this team seemed to be the main force of Chen Cang, but in fact it was the real feint attack force. And the opponent should have a more elite super elite team composed of a few super players or super NPCs. The number of people in this team should not be too large, with no more than two digits at most, and maybe even only a dozen people. Of course, although this unit is small in number, its combat effectiveness should be very high. After all, games like "Zero" pay more attention to personal combat effectiveness, so a few advanced players can definitely beat hundreds of ordinary players.
At present, the intelligence systems of our guild, or all the guilds in China that accept the leadership of our guild, have not discovered this speculated third force. Although some clues were found, no one was actually seen, let alone fighting. Therefore, this ghost army has now become our biggest worry. If this unit suddenly goes to Essinger or other particularly important cities to cause trouble while we are all fighting on the front line, it will cause us huge losses, and may even affect the front line battle situation and cause the entire defense system to collapse. . It is estimated that the Russian players originally arranged such a force because of this possibility. If this assumption is correct, then the feint attack force on the border is probably indeed the main attack force, and their current behavior It looks like they are feigning an attack, but in fact they are probably waiting for the ghost troops here to create an opportunity for them.
Because of the above reasons, we now need to keep an eye on various defense zones in the country and be careful of this third force suddenly jumping out to cause trouble. On the front line is Christina and they are scattered among the defense lines. If the third unit appeared directly in the defense area, it would not cause any trouble. What I'm afraid of is that their target is not in the frontline defense area, but in the cities behind them. Once a large domestic city is destroyed, the consequences will be very serious.
Based on concerns about the possible existence of this super force, I was unanimously asked by others to stay in Essinger and take charge. If those people really come, I will definitely make them happy with me here.
After watching everyone leave, I activated the communicator directly. Then I got through to the God of War and told him that I was now taking over the strategic decision-making. If he had anything he was unsure about, he could ask me directly. Of course, I am just making decisions and will not actually go to the command center. After all, strategic decisions do not happen all the time. Even if I want to sit in Essinger, it does not mean that I must sit in the command center.
After confirming the reply message from the God of War, I started to find things that interested me and got busy. Anyway, as long as I don't leave Isengard, I can do anything here.
Based on the principle of proximity, I first arranged for a group of people to come over to repair the Frost Rose. This time, that bastard, the God of War, shot a hole, and the loss was really not small. The Frost Rose is very exaggerated in terms of materials and production technology, so its maintenance costs will obviously not be too low. Application for such large repair costs. It would be difficult for ordinary members to apply for it, so I simply approved it directly. Then they would not have to wait for funds to make repairs. As for the question of such an expensive spaceship being unable to block a shot from the Gunslinger... Actually, I think this is a very simple matter.
The Gunslinger's attack power is indeed very strong, but normally he shouldn't be able to sink the Frost Rose. After all, the value of the Frost Rose is there, and the price of items in the game is basically equal to its quality. Therefore, the Frost Rose's defense is absolutely no problem. As for the reason why the Gunslinger was able to make the Frost Rose fall to the ground with one shot, I think a more reasonable explanation is that the Gunslinger must have used limited edition special bullets.
The profession of Musketeer is similar to that of Archer. But there is still a difference. In a similar way, their attack equipment is divided into two parts: weapons and ammunition. The archer's bow and the musketeer's gun are both weapons, while the archer's arrows and the musketeer's bullets are ammunition.
In terms of weapons, there is not much difference from other professions. Weapons and equipment are also divided into different levels. For example, the gun of the Gunslinger is an artifact, and it is also a high-end artifact. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is a super artifact. Of course, the same goes for archers. Their bows are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Good bows can often add a lot of attributes to increase the archers' combat effectiveness in all aspects.
In addition to weapons, the biggest difference between archers and musketeers and ordinary players is that they also consume ammunition when fighting. The ammunition used by archers is arrows, and the ammunition used by musketeers is naturally bullets. Under normal circumstances, the ammunition used by both is actually the standard version.
There are many different types and specifications of archers' arrows, and the base version is also divided into many different types. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they do not have any attributes except basic attack power, which is what everyone often calls blank equipment. Although the attack power of these whiteboard arrows without attributes is different, they can all be regarded as baseline ammunition because they have no additional attributes. The difference in attack power is only used by archers of different levels. After all, you can't let an archer of more than a thousand levels and an archer of more than a hundred levels use the same arrow, right?
Of course, if there is a standard version, there must be a special version. There are actually many special arrows for archers. The characteristic of these arrows is that they have their own properties. They usually add additional attack power or additional magic damage. There are even arrows that have their own guiding arrows or even the ability to teleport through space. Although even a blank arrow will be attached to the bow and the player's own magic attributes after being fired by the archer's bow, the additional attributes will greatly increase the lethality. Moreover, the general special edition arrows usually do not just add a few extra attributes. As long as they are not whiteboard arrows, they usually have a lot of attributes, or the added single attribute value is particularly large. Anyway, the difference from the whiteboard arrow is very obvious.
However, here we have to talk about the differences between archers and musketeers.
Archers and musketeers will theoretically consume ammunition in battle, but the problem is that bows and arrows can be recycled. Whether it’s a standard version of the whiteboard arrow or a special version with attributes. As long as you can find the arrow you shot after the battle and pull it out, you can still use it. Of course, arrows as equipment also have durability, and whiteboard arrows cannot be repaired. They will break when their durability is exhausted. However, even the whiteboard arrows can be reused at least twenty times before breaking, and the special version of the arrows can be repaired. There are even many special edition arrows with better attributes that have automatic return attributes. This kind of arrow with automatic return basically means that it will never be damaged or lost, but it will take time to return. Therefore, there must be a time interval if there are continuous transmissions.
Compared with archers, musketeers are not so lucky. Regardless of whether it is a high-level bullet or a low-level bullet, as long as it is a bullet, it is disposable. For example, if an archer gets an artifact-level arrow, all he has to do is try to pick it up after firing it, so that it can be used repeatedly. Moreover, almost all artifact-level arrows have automatic return properties, so if an archer gets an artifact-level arrow, he can use it frequently without any scruples. Anyway, if you shoot it out, it will come back, and it will neither be lost nor destroyed by the opponent. As long as the arrow is not destroyed during flight, it will be protected by the automatic return attribute after hitting the target, making it indestructible.
However, the Musketeers are different. Compared with the excitement of the archers when they got the artifact-level arrows, the musketeers were as excited as if they got the artifact bullets, and their expressions were absolutely tangled. No reason. Just because this artifact bullet is disposable.
Archers spend hundreds of thousands of crystal coins to buy artifact-level arrows that can last a lifetime. But it's the musketeer's turn. It's easy to get artifact bullets and they're done with one shot. Although the power of the musketeer's artifact-level bullets is generally shocking, no matter how powerful it is, one bullet can cost tens of thousands of crystal coins. Who is willing to use it?
Because of the one-time use limit of musketeers' bullets, even though the probability of high-level musket bullets appearing in the game is much higher than that of high-level arrows, you can hardly see musketeers using special bullets. It's not that they don't have them, but No one is willing to use it. It’s not that there is any real hatred. Generally speaking, when players PK, they are not willing to waste special bullets. When doing missions to farm high-level monsters, you must first calculate the gains and losses. If the target is not valuable enough, people would rather die than use special ammunition. Otherwise, the boss will die after one bullet is fired. What you get in exchange is not as expensive as the bullets. What do you think? What’s the point of pushing the boss?
Based on the above circumstances, it can be simply inferred that the beam that the Gunslinger shot down the Frost Rose was most likely shot with special ammunition, and Nobunaga must have given extra money to buy this beam. Fire bullets, even this bullet was bought by Ghost Hand Nobunaga in advance for the gun god to use in this battle. Only in this way can we explain why the light beam is so powerful. That is definitely not a simple high-level skill, because no matter how powerful the skill is, it will not be so powerful.
I can say that I don’t care at all about the damage caused by the special ammunition used by the gun god. Because these ammunitions are non-replicable, their production is small, and they are highly random. It is almost impossible for two identical ammunitions to appear. Therefore, even if the gunman breaks out once in a while, it will not pose any real threat to us. Even nuclear weapons, if there is only one, will not have much of a deterrent effect. At least a country that is big enough can really dare to take one if it is ruthless. After all, wouldn’t Japan survive well after being hit by two atomic bombs? Therefore, special ammunition like the Gunslinger's can only be used once, no matter how powerful it is, there is nothing to worry about.
Although the attack from the Gunslinger's side is not a concern, the repair work of the Frost Rose is still quite troublesome. Repairing a spaceship is not just about spending money. It requires a lot of special materials and so on. Fortunately, our guild's warehouse can get them all, so we don't have to look for them anymore. However, the engineering personnel are slightly insufficient. Recently, our guild's fleet is undergoing a large-scale replacement of solar furnaces, so the number of crew members is a bit insufficient. Even if the Frost Rose has a higher priority, allocating manpower is still a troublesome matter.
Fortunately, our guild has a military god. In addition to managing battlefield command, the God of War also works part-time in the guild's internal affairs. He checks the information of all workers to know who is doing what work, and allocates those whose tasks are not particularly urgent among them, and then centralizes them together. You can start repairing the Frost Rose first.
After arranging the repair work of the Frost Rose, I ran to Noreen and Jiaha again. Originally, I wanted to come over and ask about the giant soldier who could turn into a robot dog, but before I could even ask about the giant soldier who could turn into a robot dog, I suddenly heard the voice of the God of War. shouted in the communicator: "There was an explosion in the central square of area C on the first floor of Essinger Ground City. The number of invaders was confirmed to be seven, and we requested reinforcements. President, you'd better go there immediately. The enemy's combat effectiveness is very high. I suspect it is the one we mentioned before." The third army." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
