Chapter 59 Vina’s Information
By the time I left the Tower of Babel, it was already completely bright, and many people in the guild had just come online. Eagle and Bailing heard about the fall of Fulcrum City and thought I was joking with them. When they discovered that the transnational teleportation array was on It was only when the mark of Fulcrum City disappeared that I realized it. Hongyue's reaction was not much better, she almost gave up on me.
Hongyue shook me desperately: "How could it be lost? How could the Fulcrum be lost? With so many troops and so many artillery, how could you lose it? How could you?"
I cast a look at Feng Yin Piaomiao asking for help, and Feng Yin Piaomiao immediately came up to help pull Hongyue away. Zi Yue and Lin Yue helped comfort Hong Yue, and Feng Yin Piaomiao came over and explained: "Didn't I tell you before that she and her father had an agreement to occupy the city and defend it for three days?"
"Yes, remember. I promised to help. But isn't that time limit until before the national war starts? There are still more than five months!"
"Hongyue and her father changed their bet to build a city and defend it for 15 days."
I understood now that Hongyue wanted to use Fulcrum City to win the bet, but I didn't expect that Fulcrum City only lasted for a week before collapsing. No wonder she reacted so strongly.
I hurried over to comfort Hongyue: "Don't be excited. If Fulcrum City is lost, it can be rebuilt. This time we underestimated the situation, and it seems that something special has appeared. These are things we didn't know before. As long as we We can rebuild Fulcrum City if we find the key to the problem."
Hongyue suddenly hugged me and started crying. I didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, Rose fell asleep not long ago and will not be online for a short time. Ying suddenly said: "Don't be stunned, go and count the losses. Ziri, please go to Tianmen Island to check the fleet situation, and call King Chuang back by the way. Ziyue, Linyue and your sisters go to United City to appease the Korean players." Tell them that we will rebuild Fulcrum City as soon as possible, and this setback cannot do anything to us. Shura Ziyi, you contact the remaining personnel in Japan as soon as possible and let Ling Yuanfuki investigate what happened in this battle. Also , who in the guild has conducted battlefield video recording, or some other things. We need people who know the situation to gather together, we need battlefield information. Feng Yin Piaomiao. Please take care of the people in the lay guild, we I’m busy now, I’ll return this favor to you later.”
Feng Yin Piaomiao immediately said politely: "After all, this is also my little sister's guild. Do you have any other reason for me to help? You just have to be busy. I will take care of the laymen."
"Thank you then."
Hongyue wiped away her tears and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Ying said: "In that case, you go to Tianmen Island to investigate the situation, and Ziri goes to Wei Na to collect some information. I think a senior NPC should know something about this kind of thing. If you are the one, you should be able to figure it out."
I nodded: "That's it for the time being. Let's all work separately. We will have a meeting in the conference hall in the evening. By the way, Eagle, you are responsible for the statistics of the losses in this battle. Also. Which of you will go to Atlantis? Inform Bingbing and ask the undersea race to produce some more sonic cannons immediately, they are very effective."
Jin Coin said: "I'd better go."
"That's really red, you and Yingquan will send Mr. Polaris back together. It's all thanks to him this time."
"Do not worry."
"Okay, let's get to work."
Everyone completed their tasks separately, and the NPC guards in the city were also being resurrected. In this battle, almost all of our guards were killed, and even most of the totem beasts were killed. Fortunately, these guys can be resurrected, otherwise It's troublesome.
My mission is Vina. When she ran to the temple, she was playing with a crystal ball.
"Want to know why I was beaten?" Wei Na asked me the reason for my visit without looking back.
I walked over and took her crystal ball. "Can you tell me?"
"It's not a secret. Of course I can tell you if you want to stop."
I took a chair and sat across from her: "Okay, let's talk."
"Your failure this time is very normal. If you do it again, you will still fail."
"Why?"
"Because this is a complete blocking plan set by the system. When a country's guild builds a city in another country, the monster siege in this city will be delayed until one week later."
"Are you saying this attack is a monster siege?"
Wei Na nodded: "Exactly right."
It's true if you think about it. This battle took place at night. It was night when we originally built Fulcrum City. If the attack started one week after the city was established according to what Vina said, then it would be exactly this time.
But when I thought about it carefully, it was wrong. "Even if it is a monster siege this time, don't you think this attack is too exaggerated? Yamata no Orochi, super strange bird, Tianzhao God's clone plus tens of millions of level 700 ghost army. The intensity of the monster siege It is determined based on the city area. The area of Fulcrum City is less than one-thirtieth of Essinger. However, the intensity of this attack is more than ten times greater than Essinger's defense battle. Is this ratio too outrageous?"
"That's why I say this is a complete blocking plan set up by the system."
"how to say?"
"Because you are a foreign force. You are not a local guild in Japan. You building cities in Japan and their own guilds building cities are completely different concepts. What they call developing wasteland, is this what you are doing...!"
"I understand, NPCs are refreshed according to the standards of resisting invasion?"
"Correct. For foreign forces, the cities you build are the forward bases of the invaders. Regardless of whether Japanese players will attack you or not, the system forces will definitely fight back. And I can tell you clearly that even if you do not retreat today, you It’s absolutely impossible to hold on to it.”
"Why?"
"Because even if you successfully defend the city today, there will be a second attack in 48 hours, and the intensity will be doubled."
"What? A second time?"
"Not only the second time, but also the third time. The number of troops participating in the third war will be the sum of the first and second times. In other words, if there are 20 million troops participating in the first war, the second time will be 40 million, and the third time becomes 60 million. There will be a 48-hour gap between the first and second time. There will only be a 24-hour gap between the second and third time.”
"What if we can survive three times?"
"Then the attack is over, this city and the guild's sphere of influence formed by the city will be set as Chinese territory, which means that the system recognizes that this land is occupied. The boundary line between your guild and the Japanese guild's sphere of influence is actually It becomes the national boundary. Our country's ordinary teleportation array will directly connect this land, and the system will no longer consider it to be the territory of other countries, so there is no need for a transnational teleportation array."
Oh my God! There is such a terrifying setting. After three defenses, it is completely occupied, which is the real cession of territory. No wonder the counterattack is so fierce!
"But such a powerful attack can't be blocked at all! Isn't the system trying to make things difficult for others?"
Wei Na shook her head and said: "This is the result of you starting the national war early. System balance restrictions limit the pace of your attack. According to the system's regulations, the national war will be opened at midnight on the last day of December. When the national war system is activated . If a guild wants to invade other countries, it can apply for cooperation from local NPC forces in the country. After building a city in other countries, you will still encounter three NPC counterattacks, but the NPCs in your country will provide the same amount of support. Just like this This time, you were attacked by the ghost army. If the national war begins, China's heaven will send out heavenly soldiers equal to the ghost army to assist you, and there will be three powerful leaders appearing by then, targeting Amanuma God and Yamata respectively. The big snake and the ghost bird. And the strength of these three bosses will definitely be basically the same as the three Japanese monsters."
"That means victory depends on who is stronger between our guild and the Japanese players, right?"
"Correct. But now that the national war has not started, the heaven of your country will not send troops to help. You have to figure everything out by yourself."
"It's so difficult to set up the system. It's obvious that we won't be allowed to go to war in advance!"
"No, no, no. It's not that the system won't let you start a national war in advance, it's just that the requirements are higher. If you can block these attacks, the system will not make things difficult for you anymore. By the way, this setting is not just for your first city. .As long as you build a city on the territory of another country, you will be treated the same."
"Wait, that's not right! I have a big city in Europe, so it should be attacked!"
"The predecessor of Tianyu City is a city established by the German guilds, which means that it is not a newly built city. You will not be attacked if you occupy the city, but you also lose the opportunity to turn the surrounding areas of the city into your own country's territory. And Death Canyon is not actually within the territory of any country. Strictly speaking, you have not established cities in those countries, but your cities are just in contact with these countries. If you want to turn the surrounding areas of Tianyu City into Chinese territory. You can Cancel the city and reapply. As long as you act quickly, the city facilities will not be refreshed and you can continue to use them. But you will be attacked by the guardian legions of all nearby countries, and the intensity will not be lower than Japan's this time . But as long as you successfully withstand it, the area around Tianyu City will become Chinese territory from now on."
"Then forget it! If there is nothing in Fulcrum City itself, it will be lost. Tianyu City is my European base. If it is lost, I will be finished!"
Wei Na suddenly said: "Don't you also have a city in the United States? Because it was snatched from others, it will not be attacked. But it also loses the qualification to obtain territory. Are you interested in taking over the city there? Transform it into a new city. Fighting for a piece of American territory should be very fulfilling, right?"
I nodded: "Yes! Being beaten into a pig's head is definitely a sense of accomplishment! Are you the legendary devil's temptation?"
"Hahaha, you actually reacted. It seems that my bewitching technique is completely ineffective on you!"
"I have a magic dragon helmet. The constant clarity and tranquility technique can break all the 'confusion' magic of thoughts."
"Then do you have anything else to ask?"
"Yes, of course." I quickly asked: "According to what you just said, if I let a Japanese guild build a city in Japan, I will use any method to occupy this city after it withstands the siege of monsters. The city won’t be attacked by so many NPCs, right?”
"Yes. But you must understand that when you avoid monster attacks, you also give up your land rights."
"I understand." I nodded: "I know my own strength very well. It is simply impossible to resist so many NPCs at this stage. Unless players from all over China and South Korea come together to help defend the city. But obviously this idea is very unrealistic. . Even if everyone agrees to help, the time is not easy to arrange. At this stage, it is enough to build a city in Japan to make money. Let’s wait until the national war begins to discuss the land issue!"
"You are wise."
"Reckless is not brave. I'm not stupid enough to use a guild against a country. Of course, it's good to occasionally cause trouble and cause damage." I suddenly said seriously: "There is another thing I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Normally, as soon as a city is established, it should be able to hire NPC guards, right?"
"Yes. Every city can hire guards, and the number is determined according to the city area."
"But why is there no place to hire guards in our guild city?" I have been worried about this problem for a long time, and now I just want to ask Wei Na about it. "Our current NPC defense force is completely transformed from the original Essinger Hell Corps, and the newly established cities have no guards. As a result, I had to mobilize troops from Essinger to support the defense of other cities. In the past, it was easy to say, Now that the city is getting bigger and bigger, my guards are becoming increasingly insufficient, what should I do about this?"
Wei Na smiled and said: "Actually, you have yourself to blame for this."
"Why?"
"Have you ever asked other guilds where they hire their guards?"
"They are all loyal to the Temple of Light or the forces of Heaven. The guards are all heavenly soldiers of Heaven or Knights Templar sent by the temple. I used to be a subordinate of the Temple of Darkness...!" I suddenly understood. "You mean my army should go to the Dark Temple to get it?"
Wei Na said: "This is the crux of the problem. You were originally attached to the Dark Temple, so your troops are all undead. According to the regulations, a guild cannot have troops from two forces at the same time. If you want skeletons and Angels appear in an army, unless angels fall into dark angels or skeletons become blessed skeletons. In short, the type of soldiers does not matter, the key is that these soldiers cannot be loyal to two forces. You already have Vader's Dark Legion, and they are loyal to the Dark Temple. So you can no longer accept armies from outside the forces of darkness."
"But I have already fallen out with the Dark Temple!"
"That's why you can't recruit soldiers!"
It turns out the problem is here. "Then what should I do now?"
"There are many ways. For example, you can go back and make peace with Arni, and then ask her for troops."
"Forget it! I blew up the Arni Temple. I heard that she is still living in the temporary headquarters. If she sees me, she will probably test all her attack magic directly on me. Never be reincarnated. Is there anything more realistic?"
"Then you can disband your existing troops and ask for troops from any force, even my temple. In fact, I can support your troops, but because you already have a dark army, I cannot give you military support."
"You still have the nerve to say that you blackmailed the few troops in your temple from me!"
"Do you really think I don't have troops? You underestimate me too much. God's world is not as simple as you think. As long as I want to help you, I can bury your city with troops."
"Do you really have so many soldiers?"
"Of course. God doesn't lie."
"That's not necessarily the case. Ling, Xiaochun, Amynis, Arni, even that Michael, by the way. And that European Titans, none of these gods do not lie."
"I never lie." Wei Na defended excitedly.
"I heard it, that's a lie."
"The army doesn't want it anymore?" Wei Na suddenly changed her tone.
"I want it! Vina is the best. Vina is the greatest god I have ever seen. Your brilliance is like the sun shining on my way forward! Ah..."
"OK OK."
"I'm not done yet!"
"Okay, stop sucking up! I'm serious. Are you going to disband the unit?"
I thought about it for a moment. "I like the current Dark Army very much, and its combat effectiveness is quite good. Is there any way to keep these troops?"
Wei Na immediately said: "Then use the third method."
"what way?"
"Change your mind."
"ah?"
"Let the Dark Legion leave the Dark Force and join my force, so that they will become subordinates of the Temple of Chaos and Order. If I assign troops to you, you don't have to worry about the discord between the forces."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was such a good idea?"
"Who said this method is good? This method requires one thing to complete. It's not that simple."
"What do you want? Isn't it something weird again?"
"Hey, this thing is really weird. We need a fantasy pool."
"Dream Pond? There seems to be one in the Elf City. I heard it can make the entire city shine with magic and produce a certain degree of magic resistance."
"It's that thing, but we need a bigger one. It needs to be big enough to put everything as big as Hong Yan in it."
"Oh my God! The Dream Pool is made entirely of gems! How much does it cost to build one bigger than Hong Yan?"
"Money means nothing to me. That's what you have to worry about. If you want to keep this dark army, you must have a fantasy pool."
"Then tell me what I need. I'll try to collect it."
Vina immediately ran to her small dressing table excitedly and took out a pocket gold tube from the jewelry box. The outside of this golden cylinder is engraved with densely packed magic runes. It looks very beautiful and the workmanship is very fine. Vina handed the golden tube to me: "It's all above."
"Are you trying to take this opportunity to defraud me of money? You even prepared a list!"
"I've done so many things for you, so even if I ask you for something, I should do it. You're stingy. Okay! Return the things to me. If you're afraid of spending money, just don't build it."
"No, no, no! I can't afford to offend a young lady like you! Okay, that's all, right?" I opened the scroll and saw that I almost fainted. "Ten... fifteen tons of red stone? 37 tons of blue crystal? 150 tons of ice jade? 500 tons of steel mother stone! 7,500 glazed flowers! 300 kilograms of red... red-striped magic crystal? Are you mistaken? "
"This is the minimum amount I have carefully calculated."
I continued to look down. "260 tons of fluorite? Oh my god! That thing is more expensive than gold! Where can I get you 260 tons?"
"But this is necessary!"
"Why is there still something down here? Oh my god! Dragon blood crystal soul? This thing has a price but no market. How do you want me to buy it? You actually want one as big as 10 duck eggs? I think it's better to forget it! At worst, it's better not to have an army than to go bankrupt." I dropped the scroll and turned around to leave.
Wei Na quickly ran up to me and grabbed me: "Don't go! Let me see if it can be reduced a little, okay?"
"No, none of these things are ordinary. They sell them by the gram. As long as a ten-gram gem is embedded in the equipment, the value can increase several times. You actually want tons and tons of them. Do you think I'm opening the door? Bank land?"
"Don't you have a mine?"
"But my mines don't produce these things! Let me go quickly and let me leave!"
"Then can I find a way to reduce it?" Wei Na hugged my waist and refused to let go.
I stopped. "Then how much do you want? I'll see if I can do it. If not, I'll leave." This Vina actually wants to blackmail me and treat me like a fool?
Vina picked up the scroll and looked at it and said: "Red stone..." She glanced at me: "Ten...?"
I turned around to leave.
"Eight. Oh no, five, three? Two? 500 kilograms! 0? 0 won't work? Then 100 will do! Or? You don't have to be so cruel, right? 15 kilograms!"
I nodded. "Yes. You should be able to get 15 kilograms of red stone." People who bargain hard always cut it from the middle. I cut it from the middle and then cut it into several sections and then took the smallest section. I was forced to cut the 15 tons into 15 kilograms.
Wei Na looked at the list and said in frustration: "Blue crystal...kg!"
I shook my head: "It's a little difficult! Do you think...?"
"15 kilograms!"
"Well, that's no problem."
"150 kilograms of ice jade."
"It seems to be difficult!"
"100 kilograms!"
"dangerous."
"50 kilograms."
"ok!"
The next items were all slashed by me, but Dragon Blood Crystal Soul Vina still refused to let go, and the ratio just couldn't come down.
Wei Na said aggrievedly: "You can't even get 10?"
"This thing is a rare item among rare items, let alone 10. Even 5 is a problem!"
"Then 5 pieces, the size can be smaller, like quail eggs."
"Didn't I say that even five coins would be a problem?"
"But no matter how little it is, it won't be enough!"
"But I really don't have that much!"
Vina suddenly started crying. "Okay, okay! 4 pieces. I don't want it anymore, I don't want anything else! Wuwuwu..."
No wonder the mummy sorcerer said that Vina has the power of a god but no godhead! I think even as a human being, she is not mentally sound! What a big kid!
I walked behind her and stretched out a hand in front of her, then loosened my fingers, and a dazzling necklace appeared in front of Vina. On the necklace was a dragon's blood crystal as big as an egg.
Vina looked back at me in surprise. Then a happy smile appeared on his face. "Bring it on for me."
"Turn around."
Vina turned around obediently. I helped her put the necklace on. "alright."
Wei Na quickly ran to the mirror and looked at it for a long time. "Because you are so considerate, the city guard will relax the number and level for you when ordering troops. And I allow you to choose your own troops."
Fortunately, this is not a loss compared to trading. That necklace is something that the big bird in Japan released. I've seen it. It's an artifact necklace. It has good properties. But since this necklace can be exchanged for a large number of city guards, it is worth it. After all, the number and level of guards cannot be adjusted even if you have money.
After leaving the temple, I started running around. Although the things Vina asked for have been reduced a lot, these are valuable items, and they are not guaranteed to be sold just because you say you want to buy them. First, I asked acquaintances to inquire, and then I established relationships with NPCs in various cities. Finally, I finally contacted them all. It was really lucky to find so many things in one day. I thought it would take ten days and a half to find them all!
