Chapter 76: Cheating?

Time passed by, and the last moment finally arrived. I was not online when the counterattack broke out in Fulcrum City last time, so I didn’t know what the specific situation was. This time I stood on the city wall to see what the counterattack was like.

When the final time arrived, no expected prompt appeared. I originally thought there would be a system warning or something like that, but nothing happened. The eyeliner I placed outside is now paying attention to reporting the situation to me.

"This is a cavalry patrol. We are 15 kilometers outside the city. We have found no abnormalities so far."

"This is the underground team. The Steel Claw troops are monitoring the ground vibrations. There is no situation at the moment."

"This is a low-altitude reconnaissance team. The Fenglong troops have not found any targets."

"This is the medium-altitude reconnaissance team. The spear unit has not found the target."

"This is a high-altitude reconnaissance team. The dragon troops have not found the target."

"This is the sea front guide ship detachment. There is nothing abnormal at the moment."

"This is the Steel Claws. No abnormalities have been found in the deep waters."

"This is a sound detection ship. There is no abnormal response from the sonar."

"Chili reports to its owner that there are no abnormal brain wave responses within a radius of thirty kilometers."

"Emenis reports to the master that there is no phantom reaction within a radius of thirty kilometers."

"Here is the bird reporting to its owner that there are no abnormalities in the ultrasound and microcurrent."

"This is Ling reporting to the master. There is no abnormality in the magic detection."

The reports kept repeating, but we became more and more nervous. According to the time calculation, it should be time, but why is there no response? The enemy didn't come? Or are they already approaching us in ways we cannot detect?

"Purple Sun?" Ashford's voice appeared in the private chat channel.

"What's going on over there?"

"All reconnaissance forces have not found any enemies. Are you sure the retaliatory strike started seven days after the city was occupied?"

"I'm sure." Wei Na can't lie to me, there shouldn't be any unplanned situations!

"Why are there no enemies?" Feng Yin's vague voice appeared on the war channel. "Ziri, is your information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. Otherwise, do you think I'm crazy and bought so many cannons for free to the Americans?" There are two hundred cannons in this city donated by our guild. We didn't know the American guild that owns this city before. . How could I give away so many big cannons for no reason!

Suddenly a strange voice appeared on the war channel. "The enemy is waiting, they want to lower our morale."

"You're right, don't be 'chaotic'. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Anyway, the counterattack has a time limit. Even if they don't attack after the time, it will be considered our victory."

The public channel of the war channel can be heard by all our combatants. Our voices immediately cheered up those players, and everyone was full of energy waiting for the enemy to appear. but……

10 hours passed. We wait from dawn to dusk. Until the sun completely disappears on the horizon, Samarinda is still peaceful. The enemy we were defending together did not start attacking after we relaxed as expected. They had no reaction at all. Waiting like this is not an option. We discussed it and started letting everyone rest in shifts. As long as we ensure our local advantage, we still have enough power to defeat the enemy.

After arranging the rotation, the command of the battle was temporarily handed over to an American guild, and I quickly rushed back to Essinger. After leaving the teleportation array, I went straight to the temple. When the guard at the gate saw me, he quickly saluted. I just waved my hand casually and was swept into the temple like a whirlwind.

"Vina! Vina! Where are you?" I shouted while running, but no one responded to me.

Suddenly, a red bright spot appeared in front of him, and then the light spot quickly expanded into a dazzling light ball with a diameter of two meters. When the brightness of the light ball gradually disappeared, Vina appeared in front of me. Her staff floated in the air. And Vina is sitting sideways on the staff in a lazy posture.

"Are you calling me?"

I didn't care about teasing her anymore, I rushed up, picked her up and rushed into her room. After entering the room, he quickly put her on her oversized sofa, then sat down next to her and pressed her shoulders with his hands. "Are there multiple versions of the revenge strike you mentioned last time?"

"You said you asked me last time about the local counterattack after the foreign invasion?"

"Yes. You said at the time that the enemy would counterattack seven days after the city was established, and confirm the city's ownership after three consecutive times, right?"

"Yeah. That's what I said."

"But something went wrong this time." I shook her and said excitedly: "They didn't show up."

"Didn't show up?" Wei Na pulled my hand away: "Stop shaking, your eyes are dazzled. Tell me what happened."

"Aren't we attacking Indonesia during this time?"

Wei Na nodded: "I know this."

"Now the city has been completely occupied. According to the 7-day counterattack strategy you mentioned, the first city should have been counterattacked at noon today. But we have gathered nearly a million players from eight countries and are waiting in the city. It's been a day. It's getting dark now, but the enemy still hasn't appeared. Is the time you mentioned accurate or approximate? Also, I want to know, we have occupied so many cities. The enemy's counterattack troops will not always There are so many of them in every city, right?"

Wei Na thought for a moment and then said: "Don't get excited first, I understand what you are talking about."

"Oh? Then tell me quickly!"

"Don't worry. Today is only Saturday. I estimate that nothing will happen before noon next Thursday. You can feel free to prepare for battle."

"Why?"

"This! It's a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you slowly." As she said that, Vina went to get me a glass of red wine. "Come, drink and listen."

Since it will take so many days for the battle to break out, there is no need to worry. I also relaxed and stopped to explain.

Vina also got herself a glass of wine. After taking a sip, he began: "The first thing to explain is that the regional defense force has a total number. It is not an unlimited refresh. In other words, your enemies are actually fixed."

I immediately asked: "But you told me last time that the number of enemies is determined based on the city's defense scale. If the total number of enemies is fixed, how can the number be changed based on the defense level?"

"Can't you figure this out?" Wei Na explained: "It's very simple! Take China as an example. The guards responsible for this area are forces from heaven. If the Japanese build a city in China, then after seven days, heaven will Expulsion will be carried out on the ground of resisting foreign forces. As far as I know, the number of soldiers in China's heaven is over one billion. I am unwilling to send more than one billion heavenly soldiers and generals to join the war just for the sake of a small city defended by a few thousand people. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will Not only the city, it is estimated that even the area will disappear together. Therefore, Heaven will consider the city level and then appropriately arrange some troops to attack. This is the essence of the quantity change."

"Understood."

Vina continued: "Actually, the total number of regional guards in each region is different. The total number of guards is affected by many factors. First of all, we must look at the history of this area. Super ancient civilizations like China and Egypt will have quite a large number of guards. China has more than a billion heavenly soldiers. The Anubis Army in Egypt also has more than 300 million. The second factor is area. A country with a large area will have relatively more troops. After all, a small country like East Timor can really run away. If there are one billion guards, there will probably be no place to stay. The third factor is social development. The more developed countries are, the more guards there are. These three factors are mutually reinforcing, and no one shall prevail. China It is the country with the most regional defenses in the world, because we have sufficient supply of all three elements. China ranks first in ancient civilization in the world. Although it is not the first in terms of area, it ranks high, and the level of social development goes without saying. So the number is astonishing."

"I know there are many guards in China, but does this have anything to do with Indonesia's counterattack?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, you idiot." Wei Na pulled my collar and almost put her face on mine. "Indonesia's ancient civilization is basically blank. The area is just on the average of all countries in the world. The society can simply give up. More unrest means that the society is very bad. Because they don't have any of the three elements, so..."

I would be a fool if I didn't understand now, so I quickly shouted: "I understand. There are very few guards in Indonesia."

"Yeah! I'm not completely stupid after all." Wei Na finally let me go. "You have assembled an eight-nation coalition this time, and they are basically all developed countries. Both the quantity and quality can definitely be described as terrifying. Therefore, the Indonesian guards are convinced that the first attack will not be able to complete the mission."

"So they called off the fight?" I asked.

Wei Na shook her head: "It's not cancellation, it's merger."

"merge?"

"It is impossible to cancel defensive operations, but you can arrange strategies at will. If Indonesia has as many regional defense forces as China, they can launch attacks on multiple cities at the same time. It is not a problem to give each city 30 to 50 million people. . But they don’t have so many people, so they can’t divide their troops to attack so many cities at the same time. In addition, the counterattack will be three times. The strength of the last time will be the sum of the strength of the first two battles. In other words, if Indonesia has 30 million troops. Then they can only send out 10 million for the first time. However, area guards are not like city defense NPCs. Their resurrection takes a long time. If a large number of defense troops are damaged in the first battle, then there will be insufficient troops in the subsequent counterattack. Case."

I immediately said: "That's why they gave up the attack for the first time, so that they wouldn't suffer any losses, and kept prolonging the outbreak of the third battle, and then rushed out in full force."

"That's right."

Now I understand everything. It's not that Indonesia's defense forces don't fight back, but they want to concentrate their efforts to determine victory or defeat at once. No wonder they would give up the attack now. It turns out they were planning this tactic.

"Vina, will they abandon our heavily guarded city and attack other cities?"

"I can't say for sure." Weina said: "These guards are also intelligent. Under normal circumstances, considering that this city has been specially strengthened, they should give up the offensive. At least if it is my command, they will do so. Give up. A city can quickly attack those empty cities, so that it may be possible to regain a lot of cities. But these guards also have self-respect, and the loss of the area is an insult to the area guards. In order to concentrate on fighting, they have completely given up. The time for the first and second counterattacks is limited. In fact, their counterattack only lasts 24 hours. If you abandon the first city that you heavily guarded, they will not have enough time to take it again, which means that this city It will become the territory of other countries. I think these guards may give up their roundabout tactics and fight you directly for the sake of dignity. But I am just guessing, and I cannot guarantee what they will do specifically."

"Thank you, that's enough. I'll discuss it with everyone when I get back. Thank you for your help."

"It doesn't matter, just ask me if you have anything. After all, I'm also your main god! Isn't it right to come to a few Gods from time to time?"

"Then I will arrange the defense work first."

After leaving the temple, I rushed to Samarinda again to convey to everyone what Vina told me. We quickly discussed a solution. Although Vina estimates that the enemy will concentrate their efforts until the last possible solution, if we do not defend, the enemy is likely to make a surprise attack midway. For the sake of safety, we decided to leave some people to defend, but the number does not need to be too large, as long as we can ensure that reinforcements arrive It's enough that the opponent can't capture the city wall before that time.
