Chapter 14: Disintegration

Ashford is also a master of strategy, and his sense of large-scale strategic deployment and control is also very accurate. But we are not worried about his problem. Rose explained calmly: "Actually, we are not worried about attacks by NPC forces at all. In the UK and France, it would be very troublesome to deal with NPC forces, but in the United States, this is nothing."

"Don't you think that the United States has a short history and there are no legends to use to write NPC forces?" Ashford said with some worry: "Then you are wrong. Not only are there many NPC forces in the United States, but they are also very powerful. .”

"I didn't say that American NPCs are not strong, I just said that they are easy to deal with." Rose said with a smile: "Strong combat effectiveness and whether they are easy to deal with are completely different things."

"I do not understand."

Rose explained: "This is actually very simple. Maybe it's because you have less contact with NPC forces. In fact, there is no obvious concept of country in NPC. The country is actually a human thing, but the in-game settings The NPC forces are actually the gods everywhere. Do you think the gods will do anything for the sovereignty of the human country? Do you think everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country? What does the rise and fall of the human country have to do with the gods? There are only two words that really concern these gods - -Interests. You all know that this time we went to war, China's Heavenly Court gave us a lot of support, but Heavenly Court actually doesn't care how big China's territory is. What they really want is the support of faith, but there is a difference between the number of believers and the land area. There is a certain relationship, so Heavenly Court is so active and wants to support our expansion. By analogy, in fact, the gods only care about the number of beliefs and do not care about national sovereignty."

"Even so, after all, the land area and the number of believers are linked, the American gods will still fight back!" Ashford said worriedly.

"So I say that the NPC forces in the United States are not difficult to deal with." Rose analyzed: "In ordinary countries, the divine forces are a unified group. Even if they are divided, they only consist of three or five. The only exception is the United States. The citizens of the United States are People from all over the world put it together, and so do their gods. Most of these gods are foreign gods who can't live in their own country. They don't have a unified organization here, they can only live together in peace and harmony. , this situation determines that they have no unity at all, and it is too easy to divide and disintegrate such a community."

"Are you trying to bribe all those gods?"

"That's not necessary, just bribe some of them." Rose said: "Let's use an analogy. Suppose there are a hundred gods in the United States. We bribe ten, help them kill the other ten gods, and then take the territories of those ten gods. Divide it among these ten gods, thus doubling the territory of these ten gods, but the Americans suddenly lose one-fifth of their NPC strength. Do you think it is worth fighting like this?"

Ashford thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a possibility, but how do we contact these gods?"

"That's what I have to worry about, not you." Wei Na suddenly appeared at the door of the conference hall.

"Your Majesty the Goddess Temple?"

Wei Na walked into the hall and sat down on the seat next to me. "No matter how strong you are, you are still ordinary creatures. Negotiating with the Gods is already at a lower level. It is okay to say that it is a national force or a neutral force. You cannot enter into formal negotiations with these Gods who are still in a hostile state for the time being. But I It’s different. I am a god myself, and I am a high-level god with attributes of gods. Most of the gods here in the United States are low-level gods. It would not be too abrupt to contact them with my identity. Besides, I can also borrow the name of Heaven. . With the name of the Temple of Chaos and Order plus the name of Heaven. It should be no problem to suppress some of the gods. If it doesn't work, we still have a higher god that we can use."

"Higher God?"

Rose explained to Ashford: "The Temples of Light and Darkness and the Heavenly Court of China that we usually come into contact with are all lower-level gods. They have some specific powers and can participate in various things in the world. But there is also a group of masters. They are high-level gods with the power of rules. They almost never appear in front of us, and their power is so powerful that it cannot be increased. Ziri has known the Mother of the Earth a long time ago. She is the real high-level god, like light and She can make the Dark Temple's level of power disappear in the blink of an eye. This is the difference in power between them. If you use the name of a higher god, I think most of the gods will consider it very carefully."

This time, not only Ashford, but also Feng Yinpiaomiao asked excitedly: "Is the Mother of the Earth willing to help us?"

As soon as I heard this, I sprayed the drink in my mouth all over the table. "Damn, you really dare to think! If she is willing to help, why should I bother with this? A Lu Chenshu has disappeared across the American continent. Do you want me to recruit a general attack group?"

"Lu Lulu... Lu Chenshu?" Yanyu's hands trembled as she spoke. "Is there this level of magic in "Zero"?"

It was Veena who answered him. "I don't know if Mother Earth has this ability, but it is said that the Chinese goddess of life, Nuwa, has a magic called life reduction, which can directly restore any species on the entire planet to a lifeless molecular state. I want to come to Mother Earth. The mother should also have similar sexual magic of mass destruction."

I concluded: "No matter how terrifying their power is, you remember that the upper gods will never participate in the war. They exist as the basic rules of this game. To put it bluntly, they are a way to balance the power of the game instead of the main system." The crisis countermeasure mechanism is not part of the game itself at all. It is something independent of the game. It ensures that players will not be too overwhelmed and the game will not run anymore. So, don’t count on their power. But. They don’t help, they don’t It means that I can't rely on their power. The name is also a kind of power, and it is a very big power. I can open the connection channel to the Earth Mother Goddess space. We can't feel it, but the gods can feel the huge and terrifying power. Pressure, so as long as you show off a little and then ask for peace talks in the name of Mother Earth, most of the gods will not have objections."

"Then...won't that Mother Earth come out to settle a score with you?"

"I have already said that they are rules and managers. They are not part of the game. They are actually the most classic NPCs in general online games. No matter what the circumstances, they will never directly affect the changes in the game. At most, they will Fafa Equipment hosts some tasks and serves as characters for background introduction. To them, we are ants. When two ant countries are fighting, do you think a human would have the heart to help which side participates in the war? Of course, except for children under six years old!"

"That's easy." Feng Yin Piaomiao said: "Goddess Vina can persuade those gods. As long as we reduce the power by one-third, we can save a lot of things."

"One third is impossible, and one quarter should be no problem." Weina said: "But don't worry too much, even if the divine forces participate in the war, they will not be dispatched in full force. What will you do when the rb guild attacks Chinese territory? When did you see the entire army of heaven dispatched? We fought so many rb cities. Rb’s Tianzhao didn’t participate in the war with all his strength, right?"

Rose nodded and said: "According to our analysis, the counterattack intensity of a country's NPCs is based on the proportion of the country being attacked. If you only attack one city in the country, the resistance will be very slight. Like what we are doing in rb now In the battle, among the four big islands, Kyushu and Shikoku have been completely occupied by us. In this way, the npc power of rb is far from the point where the entire army is dispatched. I estimate that the percentage of the country's territory captured is the percentage of npc troops dispatched. When a country only Only when there is the last city left, all the NPCs in this country will really be dispatched. We have only put down one rock city in the United States now, which accounts for such a small proportion of the U.S. territory. It would be good to have two to three hundred thousand NPCs. Being beaten by Wei Na According to persuasion, there may not be more than 150,000 people who can actually go to the battlefield."

"In that case, don't be afraid. Let's prepare for battle immediately after the celebration banquet." I made a concluding speech, and then everyone started to joke about it while eating.

Because of the thunderous methods of our guild and the remote mobilization at the expense of the starting point city. He just pushed the American players' blocking force thousands of miles away. It is really not something that can be done in an hour or two to mobilize such a large-scale army outside our Rock City in a hurry. The main characteristic of the Americans in this regard is that they are willing to spend money. The materials were all teleported to nearby cities using the teleportation array and then gathered out.

Americans are different from our guild. The teleportation arrays of our guild are relatively large. Moreover, the equipment is advanced and the energy consumption is not large. Moreover, we produce the ore ourselves, so the cost is not high. Even so, we can easily do without the teleportation array for normal events, and we usually only teleport players. Most of the NPCs and materials are handled through normal transportation. But the Americans actually dared to teleport the entire army, including NPCs and supplies. The amount of money invested was really considerable. But Americans have money. They don't care and neither do we.

However, although the troops used teleportation arrays, they could not join the battle immediately if they gathered so many troops in a hurry. It still took a lot of time to organize the troops, and many important siege equipment had not yet arrived. Gunslinger and Yusina personally took a look outside the Rock City and made a wise decision to wait until the people and materials were gathered before starting to attack the city. Essinger and the others have both entered, and it is no secret that Rock City is a complete copy of Essinger. After the reward was released, many players knew about it, but they did not expect that we would use it as a reward. Used as an advance base to break into the United States. It is impossible for such a majestic city to be captured without fully prepared troops. Even the gun god doubted that even if he was ready, he might not be able to attack. but. No matter what, this time he had to fight, and the gunman knew that he had no way out. It can also be said that the defense of Rock City, which was born out of Essinger, is too exaggerated. Retreating without a fight cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

Yusina is different from the Gunslinger. The Gunslinger was angry, but she felt regretful first and then angry. When I talked about cooperation with her, it was not that she had never thought about the possibility of cooperation, but out of face considerations, she felt that it would be embarrassing for an American guild to leave us alone, so she resolutely informed the Gunslinger of the news, and Joined the attack on us as a national hero. But the huge contrast after that made her realize that she had oversimplified things.

Yusina is not a national lunatic. She is an elite trained by a high-class family and knows very well the transactions that pursue profit. However, this time she felt she had miscalculated. If she cooperated with us, she would definitely get a lot of benefits. However, her decision not only gave up these benefits, but also lost the headquarters of the Rainbow Alliance. What's worse is that she has to bite the bullet and go to war. Even if she won, it would still be a battle that would break her muscles and bones. She could already roughly estimate the losses.

In any case, Yusina regrets not cooperating with us in the first place, but now that the mistake has been made, it is impossible to correct it. She can only go all the way to the dark side, and there is no other way. In this state, Yusina thought of the navy. War preparations on land cannot be launched immediately, but it is different at sea. Yusina remembered Essinger, which she had learned about before. It was a city with a seaport, and the current Rock City was a replica of Essinger, so it also had a seaport. If you can attack from both sides, you will definitely get good results. After the guide said this, she immediately told the Gunslinger her thoughts. The Gunslinger had already thought of the same idea, but he was beaten by the nose and knocked unconscious. Now that Yusina mentioned it, of course he immediately This opinion was accepted.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the second day after the establishment of Rock City, US time, a task force cobbled together by multiple guilds appeared on the Pacific Ocean beyond the coastline. They planned to go around to the distant sea first, and then open up the line to approach Panshi City. This way, they could use all their firepower at the beginning of the battle without having to enter the battle one by one, ensuring sufficient firepower density. However, the plan could never keep up with the changes. This huge fleet was suddenly hit by an unknown source just after it was launched.

"Where did the shells come from?" Jim, the commander-in-chief of the All-American Combined Task Force, asked loudly.
