Chapter 1 Prelude to War

This leveling method is definitely a very classic and easy-to-use method, but it also has many limiting factors. The first player to take action must be a low-level player, so that he can get the reward of killing monsters by leapfrogging the level. The second is that this player must be able to cover a large area with killing magic, and the attack power must be very high. Third, the low-level players who take action must ensure that they can survive until everyone gathers the monsters. Fourth, the player responsible for containment must have the ability to determine the remaining health of the monster. There are too many remaining health points, and it is possible that he is pretending to be dead. Then it will be troublesome to suddenly kill the player who took action. If the remaining health points are too small and are killed before being driven to the designated area, then the work will be in vain.

Don't underestimate these four restrictions. It is these four restrictions that make it almost impossible for anyone to level up like our guild. The restriction requires a low-level player, which is easy to find, but the second requirement requires that the player be able to cover the 'sex' magic with great power. There were actually quite a few players who could use powerful magic to cover sex, but that was in the future. Before level 600, few people had attack magic that could cover an area of ​​more than five square meters, and it was usually not very powerful. There are no monsters with a combat level of over 800 that cannot resist with magic. To deal with them, even when the opponent is in a dying state, it is not something that a newcomer can do. The first and second items are almost completely contradictory. High-power magic means high-level personnel, but the first item requires low-level personnel. This is the biggest limitation. In comparison, the latter two are a little easier, but not everyone can do it. The third one should be possible as long as the protection is tighter. As for the fourth one, I relied on Xing Tong to complete it. Others may not be so simple. Therefore, although this method of leveling up is easy to think of, no one can really learn from us and try it.

We finished the game five times in total this night. It wasn't because we didn't have enough time, or because there were no more monsters. But it has no value anymore. As my level increases, the accumulated experience for leveling up becomes lower and lower. It is almost the same as leveling up. There is no need to spend such a big deal on leveling up.

After five attempts, I reached level 703 on my alt account Silver Moon, breaking everyone’s upgrade speed record. I reached hundreds of levels in just a few hours. The large purple sun is extremely difficult to upgrade, and it can only be upgraded to level 847. Other members have also leveled up a lot, and now there is no one below level 350 in the entire guild. There are also several masters who have reached level 795. The elixir given by Heaven last time can be used just right, and soon our guild will be able to produce several top masters with more than 800 levels.

Among all these masters, the two strongest are Zhenhong and Yingquan. It was a wise move to recruit the two of them into the guild. Now that they have reached level 795 together, I gave each of them an elixir. The two of them were immediately promoted to level 800. As long as they complete the level tasks, they can use the remaining elixir. 'Li continues to jump up the levels, and he is definitely a master among masters.

After everyone returned to Essinger, they were ordered to rest, and most players chose to sleep online to replenish their physical strength. I gathered the main members of the guild together. Discussing the redevelopment of Fulcrum City that I have been planning. Because everyone has known about my plan for a long time, they are all ready this time.

I first explained that the purpose of the meeting was to inform everyone to prepare the Pivot City reconstruction plan, but as soon as I mentioned that we wanted to build an inland city, everyone opposed it. King Chuang is the naval commander of our guild. If we build an inland city, he will have nothing to do. So as soon as I said I wanted to build inland cities, he immediately jumped out and expressed opposition. "Xiaoyue, I'm not talking about you, why did you...!"

I interrupted him before he could finish. "What Xiaoyue?"

Only then did King Chuang realize that he had spoken smoothly. Since I had to stay in the small Silver Moon state for a long time because the evil value of the large size was too high, he, Da Guofan and other troublemakers gave me a "nickname" called Xiaoyue. Needless to say, everyone has guessed the crooked idea in it, so I make fun of the name every time. But today was a formal meeting, and King Chuang actually brought it out casually. "Sorry, sorry, I accidentally said it!"

"Don't give me random nicknames from now on."

"I know." King Chuang quickly continued: "Yinyue, shall I call you Yinyue Xing from now on?"

"Whatever you want, just don't give me the nickname 'Lan'."

"Okay. Then let me continue. If you want to build an inland city, aren't you tying up your own strengths? Our guild's fleet has obvious advantages over the rb fleet. Isn't it too wasteful to not use it? This is not a mage Throw away the magic you are good at. Do you have to fight with others?"

Rose and I had the same thought, and immediately said: "Of course Ziri and I are aware of this problem, but we also have our own considerations. Our battleships often cost millions of crystal coins, and it would be hard to sink even one. The previous few times The consumption is too exaggerated, our energy has not been restored, and it is really difficult to continue to work hard. What's more important is that the city will not be permanently safe after seven days. The system's limit of seven days of defending the city only means that the guards in the rb area will not be allowed to intervene after seven days. It’s not that rb players can’t continue to attack us. If the city is close to the sea, it means that the city needs to maintain a huge coastal fleet at any time to maintain the security behind it. This investment is astronomical. "

"Isn't the money earned just spent?" King Chuang shouted: "We consume battleships, doesn't the little rb lose more? They don't have unlimited money. At most, they can be stronger at the beginning, but they will become weaker and weaker later."

"You don't make money by co-writing." I stared at Chuang Wang and said: "Our guild's funds don't fall from the sky, and it is very tight to maintain operation for a long time."

Su Mei said: "Actually, what Brother Ziri and Brother Chuang Wang said are reasonable, but they come from different angles. But in my opinion, it is best to build a city near the sea."

"Why?" Rose and I asked together.

"Because we can absorb funds from Country H. We had planned it when we built Fulcrum City. The job of Fulcrum City for a period of time is to continuously let players from Country H come to us to compete with RB players. While maintaining this balance, we will use Lingyuan My sister and the other lurking guilds will absorb funds from both directions. Since there is such a land combat plan, I think it can be expanded a little bit. It’s not like the warships of country h players and the warships of rb players have never fought before, but the fleet of country h has to travel a long distance. Compared with the rb fleet, which has a geographical advantage, it is obviously at a disadvantage. This time we simply built a large port to provide supplies and maintenance services for those H country warships. It is more cost-effective than them running back to H country for repairs and supplies. Moreover, it is not safe for their warships to return without ammunition or if they are injured. With our supply point, it is different. The combat efficiency of the H fleet will be greatly improved. We can get some ammunition and repairs from it. Isn’t the fee a small problem? We can even do a better job. Let Sister Lingyuan lead people to open a large number of shipyards in rb to help rb players build ships. After all, they spend money to buy them. We collect money from both sides, and we can definitely build our own warships. The losses can be recouped, and at the same time, the strength of the rb navy can be weakened."

"Wow, you are so vicious!" King Chuang looked at Su Mei exaggeratedly.

Rose joked: "Aren't you scolding me? Su Mei's plan is exactly the amphibious and enhanced version of my plan. The original is still mine."

King Chuang also smiled and said: "This plan of yours is quite vicious to begin with. It's so merciless for both sides to take advantage of it together!"

"Nonsense, I also have a target." Rose explained: "The profit we sell to players in Country H is only equivalent to 30% of the cost, but the price I asked Lingyuan to set is 180%."

"You are dark enough anyway."

I interrupted the two of them and said: "Since we are going to build a seaside city, what about the location? The name of the new Fulcrum City can remain unchanged. Once it is established, it will still be named Fulcrum City. But the location must not be the original Fulcrum City. Part 1 Before we were forced to abandon Fulcrum City, we used the teleportation array to send tens of thousands of tons of explosives to carry out the aftermath work. Now that place has become a small harbor, you don't want to build a new city in the water, do you?"

Hongyue immediately put on an expression that said she knew you were going to say this. "You have been clamoring all day long to counterattack RB and rebuild Fulcrum City, so a week ago I asked someone to study the landing site. The day before yesterday, they gave me three backup positions." Hongyue said and walked to the floor of the conference room. at the corresponding location on the map. "That's where I stand, and there's that side. There, there are three in total." Hongyue pointed to the other two locations, and then came back and sent each of us an enlarged detailed map.

The map we got only had an area near the target area because it represented a small area. So very detailed. We were about to ask some specific questions when Hongyue pressed the holographic map in the center of our huge long conference table. This is a new gadget of the Selatis tribe. It is much clearer than the original magic projection, and it can change its shape at any time. Hongyue displays all three areas on a holographic map. This three-dimensional map can not only represent the geographical location, but also visually display the undulations of terrain such as hillsides and valleys.

"Which one do you think is more suitable?"

"Here." Everyone pointed to their favorite location. Most people were focused on the map in the middle like me. Only Ah Wei's perspective was different from everyone else's. He is the only one who is different, so there is nothing to argue about. That's where we pointed.

Everyone should be familiar with the location of New Town. That place has a resounding name - Nagasaki. Yes, it is the place where the Americans dropped the atomic bomb. But of course we don’t want to build the city on the original site of Nagasaki, because Nagasaki is an existing city. If we want to build a city here, we must first knock down Nagasaki. This workload is a bit heavy and is not suitable for our actions. . Our correct target is actually the blank area northwest of Nagasaki, which was originally a peninsula where mountain peaks were formed. There are many reefs nearby. We plan to learn from the rb people's methods. Just blow up the mountains on the peninsula, and then the earth and rocks will fall into the reefs to fill up the reefs that are not deep. First, widening the land provides enough space for urban construction. Secondly, it would be easier if there is no reef port.

To the west of Nagasaki are the Goto Islands, which are also a large group of islands. Our plan is to first establish a fulcrum city northwest of Nagasaki, and use the advantage of warships to control maritime traffic in the nearby area and turn the Goto Islands into an actual control area. However, in the first plan, we do not plan to build anything on these islands. We just destroy the cities and ports built by the Japanese and then leave them empty. In the first part, we need to complete the construction of the fulcrum city. After holding it for seven days, we can establish a naval base on the Five Islands to supply and repair the warships of Country H and China, and at the same time establish a city group to consolidate the control area. Once this line is completed, the rb people will basically have no hope of driving us away again.

The construction location discussed by everyone is definitely a reasonable place. When the time comes, we will build the Fulcrum City first. Then we quickly captured Nagasaki, and then Ling Yuanfuki's spy troops "counterattacked" us and took Nagasaki back. This means that the two cities in direct contact are under our control, and the future battles will purely be based on the black people's money.

After everyone decided on the location, Hongyue said: "This time we must sum up the lessons learned last time, and we can't be beaten back again. It's really ugly in terms of face. This time when we go to country H, they are not enthusiastic about us because The Fulcrum City was in ruins last time.”

Rose also added: "The loss of image is only one of them, and the economic loss is also huge. Last time Fulcrum City was built in a surprise attack. We poured in more than 600 million crystal coins in total. Later, players from Country H finally made some money by joining the war, but the time was too short. , we don’t pay at all, and our direct losses are more than 300 million. This action is so big, the investment is even more huge. The initial budget has reached 800 million crystal coins, and we don’t know how much more will be needed in the future.”

Ying Dao: "Last time, we miscalculated the situation. First, we didn't expect the rb players to react so strongly. Second, we didn't expect they would launch a surprise attack. Third, our own management was chaotic and there was a management vacuum. Also, the assault route of the RBs was a bit strange. They did not attack the front as we thought, but rushed down from the mountains on both sides. In the later period, our troops actually ran outside the city. This was also a mistake."

"It won't happen this time." Su Mei said: "The location of New Fulcrum City is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The powerful fleet can cut off all external enemies. The only side will not allow us to be attacked from multiple sides again. In addition, this time we The number of players has increased, and the new system has allowed NPC legions to be mobilized in large numbers. We don’t have to worry too much about insufficient strength. The newly purchased heavenly soldiers are also powerful units, and our overall strength has increased a lot."

Woma suddenly said: "Do you want to bring something from our technical department?"

"You mean those thirteen fortresses, right?" I nodded: "Of course I have to bring them, that's a trump card."

Rose shook her head: "You are mistaken. They are just pioneers, not trump cards. Our trump card should be the one above." After Rose said this, she thought about it and pointed to her feet. "Wrong, it should be in this direction." Our conference room is in Essinger Sky City, and the Sky City is upside down, so the Mobile Fortress should be in the direction of our current ground. rather than the ground orientation of the Earth.

The Rose Point is actually the Essinger Mobile Fortress, that mobile city armed to the teeth. Essinger, which is divided into three parts, just represents offense, defense and movement. It can really help a lot if you really want to drive the mobile city there. I believe that the Japanese do not have any weapons that can pose a fatal threat to such a large target. When I originally designed the mobility plan for Essinger, I hoped that one day I could use it to complete raid missions. Now is the time.

Woma was very excited when he heard that Essinger was dispatched. After all, this is the crystallization of the technical power of our guild. "That's great. I'll have the technicians check everything out."

Ying said: "Isengard can move, but that guy is not very fast! If you really plan to join the war, you need to start moving now, otherwise you will not be able to arrive before the weekend."

"I know this." I nodded and turned to Woma: "In addition to Isinger, the Black Kirin will also be dispatched. It cost us so much money. It's time to show our strength."

"Don't worry." Woma said confidently: "Noah, oh no. It's time to call it the Black Kirin. Her performance is beyond doubt. We recently got another Seratis. Technical support has completely transformed the Black Kirin into a perfect maritime city."

"I believe in your strength."

Rose smiled and said: "Everyone has thrown away hundreds of millions. It's okay if you don't believe it!"

Hong Yue said: "By the way, Woma, the thirteen totem castles should just go with Essinger Mobile Fortress and take a ride by the way."

"knew."

After I discussed the specific arrangements with them, the meeting adjourned and everyone went to work on their own. The first thing is to prepare the troops. Except for the part that stayed to defend the city, the assembled team all entered Essinger Mobile Fortress and prepared to leave together. But even though Eagle said we need to do it as soon as possible, I can't let Essinger Mobile Fortress leave immediately, because we need a lot of supplies, and the collection and shipment of these things cannot be completed in a short time.

Almost everyone in our guild spent the next few days busy. The confidentiality of this operation is very high. We will not let any unnecessary people know any unnecessary information except those who must know. Even the members of our guild only know that our guild will have a large-scale operation in the near future and require everyone to spare time on weekends in advance to prepare for participating in the operation. Nothing else is said.

Non-guild players who travel to and from the surface city of Essinger only know that Essinger's material mobilization has been relatively frequent recently, and you can often see large groups of soldiers running around, but they don't know exactly what we are going to do. Some guilds that have a good relationship with us have also discovered some signs, but they are also unclear about our actions. Some guilds have found that there are fewer and fewer strategic materials available on the market, and it is obvious that some people are hoarding these items. Based on the abnormal situation of our guild, knowledgeable people can roughly judge who we intend to fight, but none of them can figure out who we intend to fight. However, many people have guessed that it may be RB, because our guild does not need to gather troops on such a large scale to attack any guild in our country. The movement is obviously a bit louder.

Because it took time to stockpile supplies, we had to postpone the war for a week, but the result was that it was still very tight. As the guild grows bigger, the most direct phenomenon is that the mobilization slows down. A guild of dozens of people can just call the president and everyone will set off, but hundreds of thousands of people is another matter. There are all kinds of things that you can't think of, and you may stumble on it later.

We expect to enter rb after dark this Friday and start forcibly constructing the Fulcrum City. At Essinger's moving speed, it will take about forty hours to reach rb. In order to prevent any accidents on the road, we must reserve a little buffer time, so we will set off on Wednesday afternoon at the latest.

By Tuesday, most of the guilds had discovered the changes in our guild, and even the guilds in Country H began to contact us to ask if there was any action. This little girl Park Yin rushed into Essinger early on Tuesday morning to find me and asked me if I was doing something big, which made me confused.

"Who did you listen to that told me to take action?"

Park Yin said directly: "Do you still think you are a small guild back then? You are a giant guild. A guild with more than 100,000 people has no secrets. Something went wrong with your guild last week. , being able to hide it until today shows that your confidentiality is astonishingly high. But don’t treat us all as fools. During this period, your guild has been constantly transferring personnel from the troops stationed in Country H back to Essinger. I found something was wrong. The intelligence my people collected according to my request showed that your guild is withdrawing troops from its garrison points around the world. All external activities have stopped, and all personnel have begun to retreat for defense. Some cities that are not frequently used Even the main city gate is closed, which is completely a sign of entering a state of war. Last night, our personnel stationed in China reported that all strategic materials in the Chinese market had been purchased. I thought of you first. Now that I am here, I am more This judgment is confirmed. Look at your city. There are five posts and one sentry at ten steps. Even a fool can see that something is wrong."

I said with a smile: "Very good, have you finally discovered that I am gathering troops? I thought you could never see it!"

"Did you do it on purpose?" Pu Yin looked at me in surprise.
