Chapter 54: The God of War Arrives

This battle will be difficult, but the benefits of victory are also conceivable. Speaking of which, the person who helped me the most this time was this hateful Ditans. This guy said he just came to me and made a deal with me, but this deal actually benefited me more.

The Temple of Light wants to deal with Marilyn, but now Marilyn is under my protection. If you want to get Marilyn, you have to attack Tianyu City. However, Tianyu City is at the junction of many countries. Except for a few people in our guild, most people don’t know that Tianyu City actually has an exit in France. Everyone thinks that our only entrance is in Germany, so the Temple of Light wants to To defeat Tianyu City, they must leave their control area and enter German territory. But Germany is the territory of the Dark Temple, and if you want to take action here, you have to negotiate a good price with the Dark Temple. This is why Ditans came to make a deal with me.

After the Light Temple's army enters Germany, once the Dark Temple blocks the only passage for me, the Light Temple's logistics supplies will be completely blocked, and the combat effectiveness of such a team will be reduced a lot. In addition, it is impossible for the Temple of Light not to collect intelligence before going to war. After knowing the strength of our guild, it is impossible for the Temple of Light to send only part of its troops to encircle and suppress us. They will definitely come out in full force. After the army enters Germany, the Dark Temple only needs to help me nail the mountain pass. They will not be able to return to France before they capture Tianyu City. This means that the Light Temple in France is completely undefended at this time. What would happen if Marilyn suddenly appeared in the Temple of Light with people loyal to her at this time?

As long as this plan is completed, no matter whether Tianyu City can block the army of the Temple of Light, when they return to the Temple of Light seven days later, it will be too late. It is impossible for the old guys from the Presbyterian Academy to follow the army to fight, and even if they do, they will not mobilize in full force. , at most one or two representatives. Taking advantage of the fact that the army of the Temple of Light cannot return to France in these seven days, Marilyn can completely suppress the Council of Elders and all the forces that oppose her. To put it bluntly, politics is about who has the most powerful army. All the people controlled by the Elders have been sent out. Marilyn can sweep across the entire temple with only 50,000 of her own. No matter how powerful you are, after you turn into a corpse, you have to lie down for me. Your rights are What a living person robs has nothing to do with the dead.

There is basically no need to worry about things in France. As long as the Temple Legion dares to enter Germany, Marilyn will be the goddess of light. There is no suspense about this. The question now is what should our city do? After the Temple Legion entered Germany, they found that their back road was blocked and they had two options. They could either continue to attack Tianyu City and then pass through Tianyu City and return directly to France, or they could turn around and break through the defenses of the Dark Temple and return to France immediately. Comparing the two sides, the Dark Temple is definitely more difficult to deal with than us. Of course, Persimmon is weak. It is unlikely that the Light Legion will go to war with the Dark Temple. Besides, if they return directly to France, the battle will be a failure anyway. So Tianyu City is their only choice.

The temple has been gathering troops in the past two days. The intelligence sent back by the local players hired by our guild shows that the total strength of the temple army may exceed 25 million. My heart is pounding when I hear it, 2500 Five people can probably fill the large plain in front of Tianyu City. How can I defeat such a huge army? Besides, in order to help Marilyn ascend to power. It’s hard to say whether it’s worth spending such a big price.

Ashford's Iron Crusaders have promised to provide us with intelligence and material support, and they will find ways to 'mess' the market so that the Temple of Light will not be able to get much local supplies within these seven days. As for directly sending troops, it is probably It's impossible. The Iron Crusaders had too much real estate in Germany. If the temple discovered that they were directly participating in the war and launched an attack on them, his cities would not be able to stop the temple army.

Feng Yin Piaomiao agreed to directly participate in the war. After all, they were a Chinese guild, and the European Temple of Light could not do anything to him.

The Northern Alliance agreed to give me financial support, but not in vain. They gave me the money first, but after that I would help them buy one or two cities in France. His money was considered as an advance payment for the purchase. But considering the money they paid and the size of the city they required. The Northern Alliance is still very generous, because according to the market price, a city of this size does not need to pay so much. Besides, it is very rare for such a large transaction to be paid in advance. They have already given us a lot of support. We must be content with this aspect, and others do not You owe us nothing, it would be nice to be able to do this.

Everyone is preparing for battle and has no time to care about other things. Careful people quickly discovered these problems. There was actually a reporter who had been following our guild and published a special report called "The Calm Before the Storm."

In China, various strategic materials are being mobilized urgently. Entire regiments of NPC legions numbering in the tens of thousands are mobilized every day, and the roads are almost entirely filled with troops. It's similar in France, except that the troops are all from the Temple of Light. Although Germany is the main battlefield, it is better because neither side of the battle is a German force.

November 12th, eighteen days before the National War. At exactly ten o'clock at noon that day, Beijing time, French hired players sent news that a temple legion, mainly composed of the Holy Knights, had left the temple with one million people. At three o'clock that afternoon, another army of one million people marched out of the temple. At eleven o'clock that night, an army of five million people left the temple. At 12:30 noon on the 13th, the city to which the Temple of Light belongs launched a reorganized army of 15 million people, including baggage supplies and a series of heavy siege weapons. Although this army set off at half past twelve, due to the large number of people, it did not completely leave the city until after ten o'clock in the evening.

At three o'clock in the morning on November 14th, Beijing time, a pure supply force of three million people left the city. Since then, the entire army of 25 million people in the Temple of Light has been dispatched, and this does not include the griffins and other mythical beasts. . Except for the last three million baggage troops who will not take the initiative to participate in the war, the 22 million forward troops are definitely a terrifying number. The Temple of Light is not just a mob. The average level of their 25 million NPC army is around level 550, and they are well-equipped and well-trained. The legion is equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, including more than 1,100 magic crystal cannons, enough to blast the walls of Tianyu City to the ground within an hour.

As for our guild, we have assembled a total of nine million NPC legions. This is already the limit of the number of people I can mobilize. Although less is a bit less. But our quality is relatively high. These 13 million troops are not guard troops drawn from the cities affiliated to the guild, but high-level heavenly soldiers purchased from Heaven. Their individual combat effectiveness exceeds that of the Temple Legion by more than 20%. In terms of players, our guild can only dispatch about 7,000 people. After all, our guild only has more than 10,000 players in total, and most of them are non-combat professions, so there are not many people who can go to the battlefield. Feng Yin Piaomiao's Blood Alliance dispatched 30,000 to support us, and in addition. Many of the NPC legions were funded by him, which can be considered a help to us. I have calculated over and over again, and the total strength of our guild is less than 10 million, which is really pitiful.

In terms of weapons, we are much stronger than the Temple of Light. The Essinger Mobile Fortress will definitely go into battle, and the Seven Spirit Dust Bells and the super-destroying cannon underneath it should have no problem killing one or two million people. The thirteen Zerg fortresses can also play a certain role. Of course, it is absolutely hopeless to expect them to block tens of millions of people in such a battle. At most, they will just harass the opponent's front and disrupt the charge formation. As for weapons in the city. This is not said. Tianyu City is now a big hedgehog. Fifty thousand artillery pieces of various types have taken up all the places in the city where cannons can be placed. Whoever dares to charge forward can blow up half of them first.

In addition, the Bank will provide several strong assistance. One is Vina. After all, she is also our main god. The guild city is under attack, so stepping in to defend it does not violate system restrictions. The second is Hong Yan, this dragon is a heroic dragon. The frontal battlefield may not be of much use, but attacking the baggage train is perfect. The third one is good luck and good luck. We will have the invincible lucky twin stars. With their help in defending the city, the Guangming Temple will definitely have negative luck scores for everyone. Maybe one or two hundred people will choke to death if they stop to drink water. The fourth is Guanyin, she is now the good wife of Vader, and Vader is the guild's NPC military marshal. Mu Guiying could join the army on her father's behalf, so of course she could join the army on her husband's behalf. The combination of these four special NPCs can definitely play a very important role. In terms of special warfare, this industry will be invincible.

At the Temple of Darkness, Ditans has assembled an army of 10 million to block the mountain pass. If the Temple of Light does not give face, Ditans can double or triple this number at any time. Anyway, this is the headquarters of the Dark Temple. There’s no reason why we can’t defeat the Light Temple on our own territory, right? Besides, even if the Temple of Light immediately turns around and rushes towards the entrance, will we just watch? He must seize the opportunity to encircle the Dark Temple and eat up the last strength of the Light Temple.

In addition to these three forces, there is also a fourth party. That is the idle player force. It is certain that a big tree attracts the wind. Our guild has offended many people in Europe, and some guild names secretly want to take revenge on us. This time it was just the right time. The result is that the Temple of Light has 10,000 more mercenaries, but the combat effectiveness of these players is not guaranteed.

According to the marching speed of the Temple of Light, they will be able to reach the outside of Tianyu City on the night of the 17th German time, and at most they will start a full-scale attack on the 19th. It doesn't matter on our side, we are already fully prepared anyway, and there is nothing we can do if we can't stop them. The worst thing is that Tianyu City is gone. Marilyn is determined to be the true goddess of the Temple of Light anyway. If we ask her to help us rebuild Tianyu City later, can she still say that she won't help me build it?

In the early morning of the 14th, Beijing time, less than an hour after the last supply troops of Guangming Temple set off, I was called offline. Call me a researcher from the underground base, and my demon pets and Rose are also offline at the same time.

"What happened to call us offline?" Rose asked the researcher responsible for calling us.

The researcher shook his head: "I don't know. You'd better ask the eldest sister! I only got a notice to ask you to go offline and pick up the plane at the airport in the back mountain."

"Pick up the plane?" Wei Na asked: "Who is coming? Want us to pick up the plane?"

"I really don't know. Just ask yourselves!"

Helpless, this researcher seemed to really not know, so we had to walk to the Houshan Base Airport in confusion. It was only half past four in the morning and it was still dark, but the airport was brightly lit. Rose's sharp eyes noticed that all the large lasers around the airport were turned on. She pulled me to point out the anti-satellite lasers. "It seems that someone very important is coming."

These lasers are not attack weapons. Their only function is to illuminate the satellites with strong lasers when other countries' satellites pass by, so that the optical and thermal energy detectors on the satellites can only take pictures of white, and no useful information can be obtained. . The base usually does not use this thing. Unless special items or characters arrive at the airport, there is no need for it. The last time Lucky came out to the field, the base also turned on this equipment, just because we were afraid that the Americans or other countries would notice that we had large biological weapons.

Soldiers were already standing around the airport. But they all turned their backs to the airport, which was required by the confidentiality rules. They were responsible for guarding, but they were not allowed to see what things or people were being transported. I noticed that Dad was standing with a group of researchers, and there was a small flying saucer suspended among them. This small flying saucer is a mobile probe of the base's main computer Nuwa, equipped with color vision and hearing systems. It looks like a discus with a fan in the middle, which relies on wind power to levitate. Since it is not heavy, the fan power is not very powerful and it makes no sound when flying.

Seeing us approaching, the small flying saucer immediately flew over from the crowd. "You are finally here."

"What big shot is coming? He actually called us out to pick him up at the airport!"

"Hey, it's my son who's coming." Nuwa's voice came out from the flying saucer.

"Your son?" I looked at the little flying saucer in surprise. "You mean another biological computer?"

"Almost." Nuwa's voice sounded very excited. "This time it is a calculation program that I independently researched and designed, and a small piece of the main part was extracted from me. It is considered my first child."

"No wonder you were so excited that you called us all to pick up the plane."

"Well, you are not here because I am too excited, but because my son is going to help you win the war between you and the Temple of Light. So you must cooperate."

"What?" This time it was Rose who called. "You said he wants to help us fight the war? How can a computer help us fight the war? Even if he starts leveling now, it's too late!"

"What's the use of leveling up?" Nuwa said solemnly: "The decisive factor in war is not just the comparison of military strength, command is also very important."

Both Rose and I immediately understood what Nuwa meant. "Are you saying that the computer that's about to arrive is a dedicated command computer?"

"That's right." It was not Nuwa who answered, but my father. We have reached them. Dad said to us: "The computer we are about to arrive in a moment is codenamed 'Military God'. It is the latest generation of computer command system developed by Long Yuan for the army. It is completely different from the previous generation in that it does not require human control. This is a fully automatic war machine. As long as it is connected to the military network, it can immediately replace the military staff and become the command system of the entire army."

An old researcher continued: "No matter how brave generals are, they are still human beings with limited energy, but the 'God of War' is different. He does not need to rest, and can handle multiple orders at the same time. Generals often only plan strategic steps, and the specific command is on the front line. It is the task of low-level officers on the ground, and this computer can accurately command everyone, and directly issue orders to each soldier and each piece of equipment individually. In addition, its unique prediction function of enemy and friend behavior can roughly predict the opponent's behavior. Respond in advance, even if it is not used to directly command the troops. Even if it is just to replace the staff group, the reaction speed of the army will increase countless times."

Dad took over the topic again and said: "Imagine a super general who is tireless, not afraid of taking responsibility, not afraid of offending people, not careless, and makes perfect calculations. What kind of capabilities will he bring to the army? It just so happened that last time countries gathered together Meeting: Didn’t you buy a national system strategic command system from Agia of the French-Italian Joint Equipment Group? (See Chapter 56 of Volume 7 without remembering) That system is perfect for our military god. Automated command systems don’t require generals, just weapons. If biological weapons and automatic combat machinery technology can be popularized in the future, we won’t even have to send a single person to fight a war. We can just rely on the automation of these things. We support Just have a few more people sit next to the computer and supervise it.”

Rose interrupted her father, who was obviously in an extremely excited state, and said, "But what does this have to do with our fight?"

Dad said: "Because the Military Commission still has some doubts about the reliability of this thing. And we happen to know that you are about to fight. So just let this computer enter the game as a player, and then he will become your local A battlefield commander. This will test his battlefield commanding ability."

"Asking him to direct our war? Is that correct? We have magic everywhere, we fight with swords, and modern weapons are very rare."

Dad said proudly: "Being able to command rationally according to the characteristics of the enemy's and our own troops is exactly the biggest characteristic of the God of War. If you have time to ask the God of War to memorize the detailed data of each of your men, he can even detail them according to their personal abilities. Transform battlefield command to ensure everyone can achieve their maximum effectiveness.”

"Does he have such great commanding ability?"

The researcher next to me said: "I'm doing the experiment just because I don't know much about it!"

"What if the experiment fails?" I asked: "My armies need money to buy land, as well as the trust of the players and the interests of our guild. I know these are insignificant compared to the national weapons experiment, but At least you can’t just ignore it, right?”

Dad smiled and said: "Don't you know there is something called experimental funds? If your guild suffers losses, just repair it again and I will reimburse it for you."

"Experiment as you like. No matter how big the loss is, I'm not afraid. I just want to replace it with a new one." I answered ruthlessly.

While they were talking and laughing, several red dots suddenly appeared in the sky. "coming."

"Where is it?" Dad and the researchers kept looking around.

Nuwa's remote sensing flying saucer flashed a red light and said: "What are you guys looking at with your necks stretched out? People's eyes have 500 times zoom and infrared imaging. Do you think you are clairvoyants?"

Dad and the researchers then remembered that my eyesight was much better than theirs. I said I was coming, but in fact the plane was still far away. However, the speed of the plane was relatively fast, and it entered the sky above the airport in a few minutes.

There was actually more than one plane. Seventeen giant panda super transport planes flew over in a herringbone formation, which looked really spectacular. The Giant Panda transport aircraft is currently the largest transport aircraft in the world. It is also the largest man-made aircraft in the world. The nose of this kind of transport aircraft is round and specially painted to look like a panda head, which is very cute. Although seventeen transport planes came, they could only land one by one. The airport affiliated with the base can only be considered a medium-sized airport and cannot accommodate so many big guys. No more than two can get off at a time, otherwise there will be no space to take off.

Sixteen Giant Pandas began to circle, and only the front one landed first. It ran along the landing runway and turned a 180-degree turn to the take-off runway. Then the front and rear hatches were opened and unloading began, while the second Panda began to land.

Everything in the plane is packed in containers. We have already prepared unloading equipment here. It is very fast and can unload an aircraft in fifteen minutes. The two planes unloaded their cargo at the same time, and the second plane was ready to land sixteen minutes later. The empty plane that took off stopped waiting for its companions and left first, while the plane behind it continued to wait for landing. Fortunately, the Giant Panda is an ultra-long-range aircraft. No matter how long it hovered, if it were a small plane, the last few would probably have run out of fuel.

All seventeen planes left after unloading, and the warehouse next to the airport was already piled outside. The loading capacity of one giant panda can catch up with a small cargo ship, and the seventeen giant pandas filled the warehouse parking area. Engineering and technical personnel began to transport these containers to the lifting platform according to their numbers, and then sent them to the underground space that had been prepared in advance.

My dad and I came here ahead of time to wait. After a large number of containers were delivered here, special personnel opened them and took out the contents. Empty containers will be sent up another elevator and then to the ground. There's not much room for that much stuff here.

The contents of the containers were all identical. They were some black brick-like things. There is only one of these "bricks" in each container, so they are actually very large. These "bricks" are carefully stacked together. Moreover, the order of arrangement has been stipulated, and there is a special person holding some drawings and directing those who operate the mechanical crane to splice these things.

Because the amount of work was too large to be completed immediately, I had to go to have lunch with everyone first. By the time my dad and I came back from lunch, we already had a finished product. This thing stands on the ground like a tombstone. It roughly looks like a rectangular parallelepiped, but in fact its shape is not a rectangular parallelepiped. Its base is an octagon that looks like a rectangle. The four hypotenuses at the four corners are all 0.3 meters. The two long sides of the rectangle are both three meters and two, and the two short sides are one meter. six. Its height is seven meters and two, matching the shape of the base. It does look like a stone tablet. And its shell also has the texture of stone, but the color is pure black, and it feels like a semiconductor silicon block. It is not only completely black, but also almost non-reflective.

There is a circle of circular sockets with a diameter of ten centimeters at its bottom close to the ground, and they are quite dense. Since the data is calculated with the help of my eyes and electronic brain, the error should be within one millimeter. With so many sockets, the cables connected to them will probably be messier than a spider.

Except for the hole in the bottom. The only thing that is more noticeable on the top and bottom of this thing is the number on the front and back of it. On these two sides, five meters above the ground, there are three Arabic numerals, which look like numbers made of glass. The number on the currently completed black "stone tablet" is 000, while the numbers on the other "stone tablets" are all different. It is obvious that this is a single number. As the composition progressed, more black "stone tablets" were completed, and the numbers on them actually ranked after number one hundred.

After dinner these things were all assembled. In this space, black "stone tablets" stand neatly like a giant cemetery. The huge formation of stone tablets exudes an evil and powerful smell. People who are not strong-minded will probably have nightmares for several days in a row when they see this scene. I looked at the numbers specifically and found that the "stone tablets" here were arranged in order, and the number of the "stone tablet" at the end was actually 999. But I suddenly realized something was wrong. The entire "stone tablet" array had thirteen columns of seventy-seven in each row. There should be a thousand and one in total. Why is there one number missing? After searching carefully, I discovered that there was an oversized component in the center of the stone tablet array. This thing was much taller than the other "stone tablets" and its shape was also different. This component numbered one thousand is located in the center of the monument array. Its base is a regular octagon, each side is five meters long, and its height reaches thirteen meters. The number 1001 is marked on its eight sides, and there is a black sphere with a diameter of more than three meters on top.

The engineers brought a large number of connecting wires and opened the floor near the "stone monuments". It turned out that there was a dense network of wires under the metal floor. The staff connected the hole on the base of the black "stone monument" to the underground data lines. Although there were many lines, they were all connected to the ground. It looks very neat from above.

When all the work was completed, it was already past 11 o'clock at night, and my father asked me to complete the launching ceremony. When the air switch was pushed up, there was a slight buzzing sound in the whole room. A male electronic speaker sounded. "The Military God system starts self-test."

Wow, with an electronic sound, the first zero on the "stone tablet" No. 000 lit up. It turned out that there was a backlight behind those glass numbers. The green backlight that lights up the number zero makes this number appear quite conspicuous on the black panel. After the first beep, less than a second passed, the second beep sounded again, and the second zero lit up. After the third beep, all three and zero turned into green backlight. But the fourth sound suddenly turned into a high-pitched "beep". The three zeros jumped into red at the same time. Suddenly there was a click. Three covers popped open on the top of "Stone Tablet" No. 000, revealing three fans hidden inside. I could hear the fan starting up from this distance.

As the first "stone tablet" is started, the following "stone tablets" are started in the same way. As the self-examination process progressed, a layer of white mist began to fill the ground of this room. Judging from the infrared radiation, this is low-temperature cold air. It is being sucked into the body by these "stone monuments" and then discharged from the three fans on the top. It should play a role in cooling and dissipating heat. Fortunately, we were standing on the escalator halfway up the room, otherwise those air-conditioned clouds would have been very exciting.

It took more than an hour to complete the self-test of all those things. Rose couldn't help but said: "This is the slowest computer I have ever seen to start up."

After finally waiting for the central host to start up, the electronic sound sounded again. "Self-test completed. Time synchronization completed. Basic information reading completed. Status: Standby. Requesting further commands."

Nuwa said excitedly: "Haha, it seems that the situation is good. Now we just need to connect him to the game and start performing command tasks as a player."

Rose and I said in unison: "I'll go pick him up in the game right away."

"Stop." Nuwa stopped the two of us. "You don't know which novice area he will appear in, how are you going to pick him up? Also, this is a strategic command computer, not a combat robot. He can't level up. You have to find a way to find someone to help him level up, at least Just take him out of Novice Village."

"Understood." We ran away again.

"Come back." Nuwa's remote sensing flying saucer projected a photo in front of us. "This is his image in the game. Remember it clearly for me. Otherwise, no one will recognize who you want to pick up. I have already sent the picture to your game account. You can use this picture to find someone to take him to Novice Village. Just level up, okay, let’s go.”

Damn, the super war computer is my commander. It seems that the chances of winning this battle are much better!
