Starting From Zero

Chapter 17: Resisting Japan and Aiding Korea

We left Isengard together just after the distribution of roses. We all went to take care of the areas we were responsible for, which was very efficient. That night we all returned to Essinger for a meeting, and everyone was shaking there holding the orders in their hands.

I looked around and placed my order first: "Okay, everyone seems to be very excited. Let's calm down and talk about our results."

Hongyue was the first to say: "I'd better do it first. After all, I'll definitely give you the lowest price. The price I give my brother is based on the convention of normal goods, that is, the cost plus 30%, so It’s not as huge a profit as you. The Hot Blood Alliance has also been engaged in a big operation recently and has no money for the time being. In the end, we only ordered an army of 50 million crystal coins. This is because I said that this price is a rare opportunity."

I nodded: "The Hot Blood Alliance itself is a fraternal guild. You don't need to blackmail their money. You have done a good job."

Rose immediately asked me: "How are you doing in Germany?"

I smiled mysteriously, and then pulled out three documents from my pile. "These are three orders from the three major guilds in Germany, the Iron Crusaders, the Jiao Eagle Alliance, and the National Guard. The Iron Crusaders' order is as high as 150 million crystal coins, the Jiao Eagle Alliance's order is 120 million crystal coins, and the last one The National Guard actually placed an order for 180 million crystal coins. In addition, I also received orders from some small German guilds worth a total of 200 million crystal coins."

Hong Yue said in surprise: "Then you got 650 million crystal coins in one breath?"

I smiled and said to Ying and Ziyue, "How are you two doing there?"

Ziyue pushed all the orders to me. Others' orders were just a small pile, but the two of them had a huge pile. Ziyue explained: "Our targets are all small and medium-sized guilds, which lack purchasing power and win purely based on quantity. There are a total of 1,342 orders here, with a total value of 700 million crystal coins."

"700 million? You are so ruthless." Hongyue sighed: "The total number of guilds in Germany is only 650 million. It's amazing that your customers still get so much even after eliminating the largest guilds in China."

Ying shook his head and said: "Don't you think about how many people there are in China? These 700 million are purely based on quantity. There are more than a thousand orders! My hands are weak after signing."

Su Mei immediately shouted: "Brother Ying, please stop complaining? Do you know how Brother Chuang Wang and I got along? Today we went to the occupied territory in Indonesia to hold an investment meeting. Scores were given to dozens of countries. Everyone in each city sent a live video, but in the afternoon, the door of the signing venue in our guild was crowded. The two of us had cramps in our hands when we signed. Fortunately, Xiaoyao and Sister Bailing came to help later, otherwise I’m still being surrounded over there to sign a contract.”

"What about your order? Why is it just a piece of paper?"

Su Mei stood up the piece of paper and showed it to us: "Because there are too many orders, it is inconvenient to take them all out, so we put all the numbers on this list."

"How many are there in total?" I asked nervously.

Su Mei turned it over and looked at it before saying: "1.31 billion crystal coins."

"You guys are probably the toughest group today."

Shura Ziyi held a small stack of orders and said: "The biggest one is here. I have only signed a total of thirty orders in the United States, and the prices of all military units are 15% higher than the domestic prices, but as Rose said Same. Americans only care about the quality of their soldiers and never consider price."

Su Mei looked at Shura Ziyi in surprise: "More than us? How many did Sister Shura sign?"

Rose grabbed the total price list of Shura Ziyi and looked at it: "Oh my God! 3.7 billion? Are the Americans crazy? No matter how good the quality of the soldiers is, you can't buy them like this!"

Shura Ziyi said: "This is actually not entirely due to the quality of our soldiers."

"Then why?"

"A nationwide guild war just broke out in the United States a few days ago. More than 90% of the guilds are still in empty cities without a single guard."

Ying said: "When there is a famine when selling grain, no wonder the Americans go crazy and buy so much. If the war is really so bad, this purchase amount is still conservative."

Shura Ziyi also nodded: "Actually, I think Rose should come to the United States. I don't talk about business very much, otherwise this number will increase by at least another %."

Rose shook her head: "Although they should be sold in the United States, selling too much will not be good for us in the future. That's fine. But you will never imagine how much Koreans bought."

I couldn't help but ask: "How much? Isn't it as crazy as the Americans?"

"Although the quantity is not as large as that in the United States, the level of craziness is definitely much higher than that of the Americans." Rose took the order and said: "Here is an order with a total price of 3.57 billion. The Korean guild has almost poured out all its money."

"Are they all crazy?"

Although Americans order more than Koreans, considering the strength of both parties, Koreans are actually more crazy. This is like for someone with a monthly salary of 5,000. Buying a piece of clothing worth 2,000 yuan is a luxury, but it is not crazy. If someone with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan buys a piece of clothing worth 2,000 yuan, he is completely crazy. Americans are rich, and 3.7 billion is nothing. But South Korea doesn't have that kind of financial resources, and 3.57 billion is a proportion that will ruin everything.

Rose said calmly: "If you add a message and listen to it together, you won't think Koreans are crazy."

"What news is so shocking?"

"The Japanese have landed in Korea itself."

"What?" we all shouted. "When did this happen?"

"Just yesterday evening, South Korea fought a defensive battle all night but failed to drive the Japanese into the sea. Today, the various guilds in South Korea stopped fighting all morning. In the afternoon, they almost went crazy and bought so many soldiers, and they wanted to We deliver the goods early, and they plan to use these heavenly soldiers to attack them and drive the Japanese into the sea in one fell swoop."

"Where is the Korean fleet? Just let the Japanese dock?"

"The South Korean fleet was severely damaged by Japan's new torpedo ships when it went out to patrol the enemy last night. Now it has basically lost its combat effectiveness. The Japanese plan is not that simple. Obviously they have been planning for a long time."

I knocked on the table to silence everyone. Then look at the rose. "How is Park Yin doing?"

Rose said: "The Tianji League did not participate in the war at the beginning, and did not attack until late at night. However, the general attack in the early morning was launched by the Tianji League, and the losses were heavy. When I came back, Pu Yin said that she had lost 85% of the NPC army. , and the siege weapons also suffered heavy losses. In addition to these soldiers this time, Park Yin also purchased 50 city-breaking cannons from us as the main attack force."

"Fifty doors?" Hongyue was startled: "Our guild only has 15 doors, how can we get 50 doors for her?"

Rose said: "Don't get excited. Of course I know we don't have that much. I only agreed to sell 5 doors to her. In addition, I promised the Tianji League that our guild would send troops as soon as possible to help them coordinate their operations."

I nodded: "Sending troops is inevitable. South Korea can be an advanced base or a springboard for the Japanese. We cannot leave it alone."

Ying immediately stood up and said, "I'll call Woma and the others back to discuss it."

After a while, several main members of the guild were called over. I first asked Rose to introduce the situation to everyone, and then I asked Woma: "If we set out the day after tomorrow, can the war fortress in the guild be mobilized?" How many are there?"

Woma thought for a moment and said: "The six military ant fortress, giant butterfly city, snot castle, dragonfly castle, wasp fortress, and spider fortress should be able to participate in the battle. There is also a giant mosquito outpost of the mosquito tribe. I don't know if it can be dispatched." You can make it. If you postpone your departure until the night after tomorrow, the Giant Mosquito Outpost should be able to leave with you."

I thought about it and said, "If I send you more people to wash hands, can we finish it in the morning?"

"Maybe, that's possible."

"Then immediately send all the maintenance workers from various cities to Steel City to speed up the work."

Rose also asked: "Woma, is there any other equipment our guild can carry?"

"In addition to the usual heavy artillery company, we also have a total of 1,000 magic puppets. The red-striped magic crystals brought back by Ziri last time have been used on these. Also, the golem troops in the guild have also It’s already quite big.”

"Golem?" I looked at Woma in surprise: "Does our guild have a golem? When did you invent it?"

Woma was more surprised than me: "Huh? Didn't you bring back the method of making the golem?"

"Ah? Did I get it back? When?"

Rose smiled and explained to the two of us: "Don't be weird, I'll explain. Ziri, didn't you find a place like Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum in Qiankun Gourd last time? You later looted the place and took the things They all moved back to Essinger. When we were sorting through those things, we found that there were several copper plates with words engraved on them. At first, we thought these looked like Chinese characters, but no one recognized them. Then we suddenly discovered that the words were all written in alphabetical letters. The fonts were engraved on the board, and then we printed them on paper and made them all right. Those words are the method of making the golem." After Rose explained, she said to Woma: "Don't be surprised, Ziri is a The big lazy guy never checks what messy things he brings with him. Although he got those technologies back, he doesn't know it himself."

"Oh!" Woma and I nodded in understanding.

On time, Big Pot Rice asked from the side: "What exactly is the golem that you have been talking about for a long time? Doesn't our guild have a golem?"

Woma immediately said: "Golems and golems are not the same thing, but they both use magic to enable inanimate materials to participate in battles with autonomous consciousness. Our previous golems were all mechanical structures. Only magic arrays produce wisdom. , and uses red-striped magic crystals to provide energy. In fact, the concept is similar to that of a robot, except that the source of power and operating system is magic technology rather than electronic technology. As for the golem, it is more exaggerated. In fact, there are thirteen Zerg War fortresses can also be counted as a type of golem. Their common feature is that they rely entirely on magic to fight. There is no concept of joints in the body, and there is no need for things like transmission technology. You only need to carve a rough structure and add magic The core is complete. In fact, most of the golems are solid, and their joints cannot move at all without magic."

"Which one of these two is more powerful?"

Woma shook his head: "Each one has its own strengths. The golems have relatively high intelligence and are very flexible in their movements. They are basically close to humans. Some golems even have complete consciousness of their own. They can lead small-scale wars and make their own decisions. Many things. But the structure inside the golem is relatively complex. It is easy to damage, and repair and manufacturing are very expensive. The golem is simple to make, low cost, and can be manufactured in large quantities. Usually, in order to increase the combat effectiveness, the golem can be made larger. This way the attack power will be stronger. Because golems are completely solid, their defense power is generally very high, especially metal golems. Think about it. How much destructive power does it take to break a solid statue of pure steel? A giant dragon Probably not at this level. But there are many problems with the golem. The first one is slow movement. The normal speed of the golem is like that of a person who has been affected by the slow spell. The word "flexible" has nothing to do with him. And the golem has no The brain must be controlled one-on-one. Although high-level golems can have low-level intelligence, they still need to be equipped with commanders, and the commanders cannot be too few, otherwise some golems are prone to doing stupid things. There is another fatal flaw, that It’s just that the energy consumption of the golem is much greater than that of the golem. The continuous working time of the golem supported by the magic circle usually does not exceed 10 minutes. It is a decisive weapon."

"The golem has so many shortcomings!"

Woma nodded: "In normal battles, golems are almost worthless. They are usually used as battering rams and shield vehicles when attacking city walls. They can also be made into sculptures and placed outside the city to injure people. "

I asked Woma: "How many golems are there in our guild now?"

"Only sixteen were made for experimentation, just enough for a small team."

"Then take it with you too. Anyway, everyone has the space of a phoenix and a dragon. No matter how much stuff you have, you can fit it in."

Rose asked me: "How many people should we send there?"

"There are almost 30,000 players. I think it is best to control the NPC army within 00,000. We also need to keep some guards here!"

"Okay then." Rose nodded and said: "If it is confirmed, we will send troops there now, otherwise we may be delayed for a long time on the way."

I shook my head: "Use the space of Mother Earth to transport you. As long as I teleport there alone, everyone will be there together, otherwise the teleportation fee will cost people's lives."

"This is a good idea."

I nodded to Ying and Hongyue: "Now that the matter has been decided, let's make arrangements. We will set off the day after tomorrow, and we will fight the Japanese at noon the day after tomorrow. Help the Koreans drive the Japanese into the sea, and we can get emotional points. Yes. By the way, King Chuang. You will take all the warships of our guild out to patrol the sea tomorrow. The Japanese do not have transnational teleportation arrays like us, and their supply of soldiers depends on sea transportation. You can correctly take out all the Japanese supply ships. It’s best to sink it.”

Rose added: "Don't be impulsive if you find the opponent's battleship group. Your mission is to cut off the supply line. It is not a patrol battle. You can use the speed advantage to divide the battleships into small groups. When you see the supply ship, attack it, and when you see the large fleet, attack it. Run away, the main thing is harassment anyway."

"I understand this. Project Sea Wolf, right? It's guaranteed to make the Japanese regret that they can't fly."

"That's it, let's break up now."

The guild suddenly became busy and chaotic. Hongyue was responsible for the overall coordination of the guild, while Ying went to assemble the troops and go to sea. Rose ran to Steel City with a large group of people to speed up the construction of the war fortress. Compared to them. The busiest one is me. The orders from Heaven are in a mess, due to my own shortcomings. I can only split it into several runs. I first use my own money to buy some soldiers, and then deliver these soldiers to the owner. Only then will the system contract be completed and I can get the payment from the other party. With the first payment, I was able to complete a larger order the second time. After several rounds of back and forth, I was finally able to buy all the soldiers at once.

In order to collect it quickly, I simply used the transnational teleportation array to send them express delivery for the parts ordered by foreign guilds. Anyway, the original asking price was enough that I didn't care about the transmission fee. Because I kept running back and forth to heaven, Erlang Shen was so impatient with me. It would be annoying to run so many times every time, but what can I do, other than keep apologizing, I can only continue to do this.

After calculating the accounts of other guilds, our guild's sales plan has netted us a net profit of 6.735 billion crystal coins, which is the real income after tax. The money is much more than we expected, so it is impossible to use all of it to purchase heavenly weapons.

Considering that World War I in Korea required a large number of soldiers. It was impossible for us to wait until the Heavenly Court's 40% discount to purchase, so Erlangshen and I talked about it for a long time. Erlangshen finally took me to meet the Jade Emperor again. First, he changed his body to the state of Silver Moon, and then used Silver Moon's monster-level charm index to talk to this old guy for three hours, and finally got the conditions for a 40% discount in advance. This is all thanks to the fact that we sold so many soldiers before that the relationship value between Heavenly Court and us has been increased by 12 percentage points. Do we have to give some preferential conditions if we buy so many?

The three arms we ordered this time are not cheap. According to everyone's opinion, it is more appropriate to keep the cost this time around 100 million, so I don't dare to spend money randomly. The actual purchase price of Long Knife Hand after 40% off is 00 crystal coins. I ordered 20,000 people at one time and killed 40 million in one go. The price of archers is the same as that of swordsmen, but they are the main battle unit and their quantity must be sufficient, so I ordered 10,000 at a time and burned my 400 million. My hands were shaking with distress. I plan to use the last unit, the hook-scythe gunner, as the main force, and the number cannot be small. I am so cruel that I want a scale of 1 million people at a time. The unit price of this unit in Mommy is only 4,000 crystal coins, and it costs 1,600 crystal coins at a 40% discount. An army of 1 million people killed me for 1.6 billion crystal coins, and I felt like I was being stabbed with needles. But when I saw those teams coming out in force, my heart immediately returned to normal. It was fun to burn money. Burning out 1 million elite air cavalry in one go is a luxury.

Our guild has more than three million Pegasus, which is more than enough to turn these teams into cavalry. Although the soldiers of heaven are expensive, the later investment is very small. Other forces do not bring equipment when buying troops. For example, for Templars, armor is sold individually. Heaven only needs to buy soldiers, and the equipment will be sent together. As for the later life of soldiers, Tianbing has expertise in this aspect. All Heavenly Soldiers know the grain avoidance technique. Although they do not stop eating at all, their consumption is not large. Their armor is also self-restoring, requiring no repairs, and the soldiers are not easily injured. It costs almost no maintenance fee and is as easy to maintain as the undead army.

It took a whole day to buy the army back and forth. If I didn't need to sleep, I really wouldn't be able to get these things done before departure. We plan to take all the heavenly soldiers out to fight. On the one hand, we will show Korean players how great our friendship is, and on the other hand, we will test the effect of large army operations. Although the individual combat effectiveness of Tianbing is outstanding, the effectiveness of team battles is not necessarily directly proportional to the level of individual combat. In addition to the heavenly soldiers, we also brought some other military services, mainly to participate in the war as auxiliary forces.

In the early morning, the seventh war fortress, the Giant Mosquito Outpost, was finally completed. These big guys are really huge. The door to my space is absolutely inaccessible. When I used the space door to get the Tower of Babel back from Germany, it was almost stuck in the door. The war fortresses this time are all as big as small fortresses. It is impossible to get through this size no matter what. As for Fenglong Space, don’t even count on it. Not to mention that the entrance to Fenglong Space is not large enough, even the internal volume is a problem.

Fortunately, four of the seven war fortresses this time can fly, especially the giant city. This guy is simply a super transport aircraft. After the completion of the giant butterfly city, it is no longer possible to tell what the original materials are. Magic has changed the structure of these materials. The current Giant Butterfly Fortress looks like a giant colorful butterfly, but the texture on the surface is relatively hard.

The Army Ant Fortress and Spider Fortress were hung one by one under the body by the Giant Butterfly City. The Giant Butterfly City flapped its huge ridiculous wings and actually took the two castles off the ground. You know what a terrifying figure the combined weight of these three guys is. No one would believe that they can fly. The Giant Butterfly City actually carries more than two castles. We have arranged 500,000 NPC troops inside her body, and there are 100,000 troops each in the suspended Army Ant Fortress and Spider Fortress. These armies are fully loaded, and their weight is not much lighter than the weight of the castle itself. One can imagine how terrifying the take-off weight of the giant butterfly city is.

In fact, we have confirmed after the Giant Butterfly City took off that the Giant Butterfly City does not rely on wind power at all. Although the pair of huge wings were also flapping up and down, at this speed it was impossible to provide enough lift to lift the weight of the three castles and these soldiers into the sky.

The last remaining flightless castle is the Leech Clan's Snot Castle, which was given to the Dragonfly Castle for transportation. Although the size of Dragonfly Castle is not much smaller than that of Giant Butterfly City, its load-carrying capacity is really different. The Dragonfly Castle that hung the Snot Castle was originally equipped with 100,000 troops, but she couldn't fly. Finally, she reduced the army to 10,000 people and finally managed to fly. Considering that we had to fly across the strait on the way, we finally withdrew even these ten thousand people. I don’t want Dragonfly Castle to fall into the sea along with Snot Castle and 10,000 Heavenly Soldiers. Although the Giant Butterfly City brought two castles and an army of 700,000 people, it didn't seem to care about the weight at all, as it flew with ease. If the internal volume had not been insufficient, the Butterfly Clan Totem would have required an additional 300,000 troops.

However, this cannot be blamed on Dragonfly Castle. The Dragonfly Clan Totem has long said that Dragonfly Castle values ​​speed rather than carrying capacity. This guy's flying speed can reach more than ten times that of Giant Butterfly City, but his carrying capacity is less than one-third.

Both Wasp Fortress and Giant Mosquito Outpost can fly by themselves, so you don’t have to worry about this. However, the army seems to have some trouble making arrangements. The Giant Mosquito Outpost is an ultra-light fortress that has no room for 50,000 people. The Wasp Fortress is indeed big enough, but it is nothing more than an aircraft carrier. We didn't know it at first, but after the manufacturing drawings of the Wasp Fortress came out, everyone discovered that there was almost no free space inside this guy, and his interior was occupied by a huge hangar. In accordance with the requirements of the bee clan totem, eight thousand wasp sculptures were placed in this hangar. Each of these sculptures is more than six meters long and is about the same size as a bus. The wasp sculptures are engraved with special magic circles, and are also equipped with fire gems and wind spirit crystals. After the fort was completed, these wasp sculptures actually moved with the fort. During the battle, Wasp Fortress can turn these 8,000 sculptures into combat aircraft and send them out to participate in the battle. Moreover, these aircraft are all controlled independently by the fortress. They are simply a swarm of fighter jets.

Because the Wasp Fortress cannot load people, I plan to use the space door to load people as originally planned. But one member came up with an idea. The Hornet combat aircraft of Wasp Fortress can also fly by themselves. Just let them come out and fly by themselves. The same goes for using the hangar to hold people. Not to mention, this trick is really effective. The carrying capacity of the Wasp Fortress was not limited, and 300,000 people were actually crammed into it. There was no place to put the remaining nearly 200,000 troops, and someone came up with the idea to let them fly behind the fortress on Pegasus. Although the Pegasus cannot fly as far as South Korea in one go, the fortress is right next to it. When you get tired of flying, you can enter the fortress and replace a group of Pegasus. In this way, everyone can take turns to run to South Korea.
