Chapter 40: Restoring the City

The last thirteen hours should have been very chaotic, but now it has adhered to the consistent style of this battle and unexpectedly there has been no battle of more than a hundred people. Masamoto Matsumoto suffered a major blow and retreated to the Tokyo area. A large number of RB players and groups of NPCs who were beaten to the point of defeat were all hiding in the suburbs of Tokyo.

A large number of RB players are gathering at Tenjin Plaza in the center of Tokyo. Most of them are presidents of various guilds or some relatively powerful players. Masamoto Matsumoto and Shota Tanaka and a large group of people were in the Tenjin Shrine next to the square, and the players outside were shouting loudly to regain the lost ground.

Tanaka Masato closed the window vigorously, turned around and walked back to his seat from the window. "Recover the lost ground, recover the lost ground, these idiots just know how to shout. Don't we want to recover? We just use this amount of people and artillery, and there are only the last few hours left. What are we going to use to fight back? Recovering the lost ground is easier said than done! "

Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head: "Everyone's mood is understandable, but there is really nothing we can do!"

Unlike the sighs in the room, the RB players outside were very excited. The radical RB people all wanted to regain their lost ground, but Matsumoto Masaru kept holding back, which put their emotions on the verge of losing control. Emotions are contagious, and there's no telling what can be accomplished with so many excited people together.

Different from the situation here, Essinger is much quieter. Although the members of various guilds participating in this battle have all gathered in Fulcrum City, the protagonist this time, our guild, has not been able to go. The reason is that we have just made contact with Ling Yuanbuki and the others who have lost contact for a long time.

A cute face with a dusty face suddenly popped up on the screen. "President, I have finally contacted you!"

"What happened? Why didn't you contact us for so long?" I asked.

The mm took out the remains of a crystal that had been turned into several pieces from below. "The core component of this damn crystal communication machine is actually broken. Fortunately, we still have one piece in the spare parts, but because we don't know how to repair it, it took a long time to put it back together!"

"Where's Ling Yuanchui?"

"She is attending a rally of rb players in Tokyo. Is the president looking for her to implement the final plan?"

"Yes, inform Ling Yuanchui quickly and the final plan will be implemented."

"clear."

The little girl in charge of communication quickly sent the message to the player who delivered the message. The player used a small flying monster to send the message to Tokyo. The receptionist here immediately ran up to the tower of the building after receiving the news. There was a window facing Tenjin Square. The player took off his mage equipment, found a set of samurai armor and put it on before walking to the window.

Among the boiling crowd in the square, there was a fiery red figure who was shouting angrily to regain the lost ground like the players around her. The difference was that her eyes would glance at the tower here from time to time. Ling Yuanfuki suddenly noticed a player wearing samurai armor appearing in the empty window. This was a preset signal. Samurai armor represents action, and ninja clothing represents abandonment of action.

After receiving the signal, Ling Yuanbuki immediately jumped onto the statue in the fountain next to him, threw out a loudspeaker scroll and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet."

This loud reminder focused everyone's attention, and everyone looked at her wondering what she was going to do. Ling Yuanchui saw that everyone's attention had been concentrated before he said: "The Chinese have occupied our land. As members of a large Japanese nation, we should take the land back."

"Of course." The supportive voice came to mind below.

"But we have to face reality. Reckless self-deception can only benefit the Chinese." Ling Yuanchui said in a deep voice: "Think about it, everyone. The Chinese's new city is protected by the flying fortress, and they have been It has not been damaged since then, and the entire city is brand new. The defense must be very strong, and our bodies are already exhausted and we don’t even have the equipment. Besides, there are only a few hours left until the time limit set by the game. It’s so short. We all know that it is impossible to capture a city within a short period of time. Therefore, there is no hope in dreaming of regaining lost territory."

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that there was going to be an explosion, but Ling Yuanchui immediately said: "But we are the pride of the great rb nation, and we cannot be discouraged. Although it is impossible to completely recover the lost land, we can recover more than half of the land. "

Ling Yuan's words suddenly aroused the emotions of the rb players below. Recovering lost ground is now the biggest concern of the RB people. As long as they can regain lost ground, they are willing to do anything.

"It seems like you have a way, right? Tell us how we are going to recover?"

Ling Yuanbuki immediately said: "The regaining of lost territory I am talking about is actually different from the recovering lost territory you are talking about, but the regaining lost territory I am talking about is feasible. Do you still remember the division setting of city territory in the game? ? If you don’t remember, let me remind you. The setting in the game is based on the middle line between the walls of the two cities as the basis for dividing the territory. In other words, the land between the two cities is half occupied by each city. The city built by the Chinese after they occupied our land is in the Nagasaki area. The closest city to it should have been Isahaya Castle in Incheon. The distance between the two cities is not more than thirty kilometers, which means that the Chinese robbed The territory to go to should be their city and the land within a fifteen-kilometer extension outside the city wall.”

"Of course we know this." The player below said impatiently.

Ling Yuanbuki said immediately: "But you haven't noticed the current situation. Many of you here are from Kyushu, right? Where is your city? Is it still there?"

When Ling Yuan asked this question, there was an immediate commotion. Many guild presidents from Kyushu said that their cities had been pushed away.

Ling Yuanchui saw that they had reached the end of their discussion before continuing: "The Chinese are not fighting alone this time, they have formed a coalition. I can tell you clearly that there is no city in Kyushu that flies our national flag. . The entire island is in ruins except for their city, and our city has been destroyed. Think about it. There are no cities in the Kyushu region now, so the city in our country closest to their city has become the Honshu region. Fangfu City is at least more than 200 kilometers away from their city. If the territory is divided according to the city center line, then the actual control area of ​​​​the Chinese city is the city limits and the 100-kilometer extension line beyond the city wall. This range is equivalent to putting more than half of the Kyushu region into the hands of the Chinese. Have you ever thought about this result?"

"That's right! If you calculate it this way, doesn't it mean that they only built one city and occupied most of Kyushu?" All the players below woke up. At first they were too focused on fighting for the city. They didn't think about it in any other direction at all. Now Ling Yuan reminded them that they finally understood. After this battle, their losses were far more than just one city. Most of Kyushu was gone!

"Then what are we going to do?" a relatively idiotic RB player asked.

Ling Yuanbuki said immediately: "Actually, the thing is very simple. We just need to build a city. This city should be as close as possible to the Chinese city. The closer the distance, the smaller their occupied area will be."

"It makes sense, but how are we going to build it? The Chinese are not idiots. They won't just watch us build cities. Moreover, establishing a city requires reporting to the NPC. It will take at least two hours to complete the procedures, and they may not come by then. Is it in time? What should we do if we still have materials? Where can we find materials at this time? "

Ling Yuan boasted: "I have long thought of the idea of ​​preventing the Chinese from occupying Kyushu, so I have already declared the city permission, and I will get the authorization in a few minutes. My guild itself is engaged in building materials. I will use all my belongings to build this city. If there is not enough, I can cut down the wood from the surrounding mountains, and blast the rocks directly from the nearby mountains. If not, I can move them from the ruins of the destroyed city."

"Our guild still has some wood on hand, and we sponsored it for free." A RB player shouted out.

"Our guild has eight thousand NPC workers. All of them are given to you to help build the city."

"us……"

The people below are all very generous now, and every rich person contributes money and efforts. I wonder how they would feel if they knew that the city Ling Yuanchui built was used to defraud them of their money. But they won't know this now. At this time, they are taking the initiative to spend money and efforts to build this vampire that will drain their blood.

A more rational player asked: "We are building cities with such great fanfare, what will happen if the Chinese counterattack?"

Ling Yuan boasted: "The Chinese mobile fortress has been beaten and scarred. It just left our territory and entered the sea an hour ago. It is impossible to turn around and come back to join the war now. As for personnel! We have lost money these days. Disastrous, the Chinese are actually not much better. They should not have many soldiers anymore. Moreover, we are building a land city, and their battleship advantages cannot be used at all. The most important thing is that there are still a few hours of Chinese city time The restriction has arrived. At that time, the system will confirm the territorial change. During this period, the system will forcibly establish this area as a no-arms zone. Although the purpose of this no-force zone is to protect the Chinese side, we can just take advantage of the opportunity. Repair our city. So we only need to withstand the first few hours. I believe that the elites of the great rb nation will not have confidence in this, right?"

When Ling Yuan said this, everyone in RB screamed with excitement. Matsumoto Masahiro and the others in the main hall were still sighing and had no idea that things were going upside down outside. Ling Yuanchui jumped off the sculpture and led the crowd towards the predetermined location. A large number of Japanese people rushed towards the narrow area in front of Fulcrum City with expressions of joy in regaining their lost ground.

The final city construction site chosen by Ling Yuanfuki was at the ruins of Isahaya Castle. There is already a ready-made foundation here, so it is easier to build. Moreover, it is impossible for a city to be destroyed without leaving anything behind. Those broken bricks and tiles are actually one of the building materials. The enthusiasm of rb players is very high. According to the system regulations, who declares the city. Once the city is built, it belongs to whoever it is, but at this time, RB players don't mind at all that they are helping others build the city, as if they are working hard to build the city for themselves.

Although the city Ling Yuanchui is building will be the main tool to cooperate with Fulcrum City to defraud money in the future, we can't be too fake, right? When Ling Yuanchui started building the city with a large number of people and materials, we reacted immediately. The first one to dispatch was Feng Yin Piaomiao's troops, but Feng Yin Piaomiao knew more about the plan than other guild presidents. , so he also knows that this city cannot really be removed, it must be kept. Therefore, the battle in the Hot-Blood Alliance was not fierce, and they only took a few symbolic blows before withdrawing.

Seeing that the Hot Blood Alliance was playing so weakly, the rb people thought that we had no backup force. They were so excited that they were temporarily carried away by the victory. They actually organized their manpower to start a counterattack on Fulcrum City, but they were blown back by a dense barrage of artillery fire. Taking advantage of this victorious trend, players from country H also rushed out of the pivot city and began to stop the rb people from building the city. However, although the rb people could not remove the pivot city, defense was still not a problem. People from the H country are also asking us to help, but I know that Ling Yuanchui is under great pressure and dare not send anyone to help. So they excused themselves by saying there were no more soldiers.

Similar to our guild, Feng Yin Piaomiao is also unwilling to support the battle. He just gave a symbolic hit, which just happened to be an excuse for the troops to be reorganized and unable to go into battle. Ashford's side was even simpler. The place where the Germans entered the battle was the fleet. They didn't bring much of the army at all. They had lost most of them in the raids on Kyushu Island in the past few days. Now there are really no troops available. Although there were still many people in Yanyu's Northern Alliance, they didn't say a word when they saw Feng Yin Piaomiao and me. This slippery man also had a crooked mind. Although Yanyu doesn't know why we are unwilling to help the H countrymen to destroy the rb city in front, he knows that we must have a reason. Since we, the ones with the largest shares, didn’t come forward, why should he come forward? Therefore, the Northern Alliance naturally chose not to send troops.

Players from Country H have also suffered very heavy losses in the past few days. In addition, the players from Country B themselves are not low in combat effectiveness, so the fight between the two sides is quite hard. In order to protect the city construction, a large number of Japanese people blocked the cities on both sides and fought with H country players. The already narrow frontal battlefield was completely stained red with blood. Behind them, a large number of local laborers were speeding up the repairs on the city wall.

A few hours passed quickly. Due to lack of assistance, the H people were unable to do anything to the RB people in the end. On the contrary, Ling Yuan blew that their city had almost built up the outer walls. The system recognizes a city as long as the location is declared and soil is moved, the city is considered to exist. It doesn't matter whether you built it or not, so this new city is naturally recognized as a complete city. When the system divides the territory, the center line of the two cities is still used as the boundary to divide the territory.

Ling Yuanchui named the new city Guangfu City. The meaning was very straightforward, and RB players were also very satisfied with the name. As the guard time of Fulcrum City reached the standard, the system upgrade sounded accurately. "Attention all participating players, this battle is officially over. The Frost Rose Alliance established new cities, Sunset City and Fulcrum City, and confirmed them as legal cities and added them to Chinese territory. The system will reset the national boundaries within ten hours. During this period, the forces on both sides are not allowed to Engagement. End of announcement."

Maybe it's because the national war hasn't officially started yet. Our battle did not have any system rewards, but the national boundaries were completely determined. There is a row of boundary markers on the land between Fulcrum City and Guangfu City.

The significance of building Fulcrum City to us is not just to build a city. Although the Guangfu City built by Ling Yuanchui under our instruction caused us to lose a certain area of ​​territory, the real purpose of this battle is to make money. This is a small point. We don't care about our interests at all. What's more important is that we have actually gained a large area of ​​territory, but this is maritime territory. The direct result of this is that the storm belt between China and Japan will disappear. Even in the future, Small boats can also travel between the two countries at will.

After arranging some players to set up the defense of Fulcrum City, Rose and I returned to the Essinger Communication Center. Ling Yuanchui had already been waiting at the other end of the crystal communication machine.

"President." Ling Yuanchui looked very happy to see us appear on the screen.

Rose smiled and said: "Your efficiency is really good. I have been worried about whether you can organize rb players to build this city in such a short time. I didn't expect it to be done so quickly."

"Of course." Ling Yuan said with a smile: "When the Fulcrum City was destroyed for the first time, we should have completed this plan. As a result, the Fulcrum City was not defended and it was delayed for so long. We The preparation time has been extended several times at once. If you are not ready yet, you would really be derelict in your duty!"

Rose smiled and nodded: "Your city is called Guangfu, right? It's a really good name. It will definitely attract a large number of RB players to come here to fight with us. By the way, do you need any more for your construction? We need financial support. Just say it.”

Ling Yuanchui said immediately: "No, no, no, no, no. RB players are in a very high mood now. They are basically doing the city construction here. We only have the supplies we provided at the beginning, and everything else is donated by them." . A guild just donated more than ten fortress cannons, which is really a big deal."

"Hey, let them go ahead and save us some money." I would never let go of any opportunity to take advantage.

Rose asked: "How are the supporting industries I asked you to arrange?"

Ling Yuan boasted: "We have many blacksmiths and pharmacists. As long as the city is completed and the two sides start fighting, we will just wait and count the money."

"Haha, I must give it a try this time."

"It's hard to make money with such a big pomp." Rose said to me: "Although we sold some shares of Fulcrum City, we actually have much more than those shareholders, because there is no harmony at all. Let’s share the money to restore the city.”

In order to win over as many allies as possible, we exchanged the future profits of Fulcrum City into shares and sold them to various participating guilds, but no one knew that Guangfu City in RB was also manipulated by us behind the scenes, so this part No one shares the funds with us. According to the principle of balance, the income of Fulcrum City and Guangfu City should be about the same. How other guilds divide it is to dig some of the 50%, but we only share the money after we monopolize 50%. There is no reason to make money.

I suddenly thought that Matsumoto Masaga's side might be difficult to deal with, so I asked Ling Yuan Chudao: "How did Matsumoto Masaga's side react after you established the city?"

"This is rather strange." Ling Yuan said: "Masaki Matsumoto has not issued any formal orders since yesterday's defeat. He hangs out with Shota Tanaka and his gang all day long and doesn't know what they are doing. But I don't think you have. The appearance is too worried about Masamoto Matsumoto. It can be said that Masamoto Matsumoto was being played from the beginning to the end of this liberation campaign. His reputation in RB has plummeted. Even if he finds something, he will not be too cautious if he wants to mobilize personnel. quick."

"That's good." Rose said: "You must be very busy now, so we won't disturb you. Come on, come on and earn foreign exchange for our guild!"

After turning off the crystal communicator, I looked at Rose: "I'm finally free. Are you ready?"
