Chapter 298 New Prey Appears

Turns out it was all because of maintenance costs.

Let’s not talk about the recruitment price.

If it weren't for Xu Ran's only eternal-level talent [Ten Thousand Times Reward], which would bring a huge amount of gold coins.

Recruiting such a large number of epic rarities and an army that has obtained the final professional recognition is definitely an extremely expensive thing.

And just recruiting 10 to 20 million people is just a drop in the bucket for the light camp and the dark camp.

Because the armies needed by these two camps must definitely use hundreds of millions as units.

Xu Ran remembered clearly.

In the previous life, it was probably in the late stages of the game, when the two camps started a full-scale war, that they frantically began to invest resources and recruit a huge number of legions.

At that time, an army comparable to the epic rare-level legion that Xu Ran was recruiting now would truly become the main force of his recruitment, and thus take the center stage of the war.

Now he reckons.

The number of armies of the same type owned by the two camps should be controlled below 50 million.

For example, the main army composed of Level 3 experts should be counted in units of hundreds of millions.

It seems

This amount far exceeded Xu Ran's imagination.

But because the territory of the two camps is really too large, and they are composed of various races and corresponding countries, such as the Frost Empire.

The forces within these camps seem to be extremely united.

But in fact, everyone has competition.

Therefore, it seems that the military strength of the two camps is extremely strong and magnificent.

However, if divided equally, the army that can be recruited in the short term will only be tens of millions.

Therefore, before the crazy recruitment of armies began, the scale of troops that the two camps could dispatch was not that terrifying.

But this does not mean that Xu Ran can take it lightly.

Now he has declared war on the light camp.

so.

This also means that a full-scale war is about to break out.

As expected.

The first round of troop expansion for the two camps should start in the next time.

So Xu Ran should also seize this opportunity.

Because the main city in his territory and the number of players he rules are not too many.

Therefore, his basic recruitment limit is currently around 15 million.

Plus a temporary recruitment cap.

He can recruit a total of about 30 million troops.

It seems.

With this size of force, in the eyes of the two camps, they are simply the younger brother among younger brothers.

But if he recruits an army, all of them are of epic rare quality, and have acquired the kind of terrifying power that the profession ultimately recognizes.

That's different.

Even though he couldn't really kill these two camps, for now he was enough to protect himself.

At least for defense, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But Xu Ran wanted more than that.

He thinks so himself.

I am a greedy person.

Therefore, he not only has to survive safely under the joint encirclement and suppression of the two major camps and other secretly hidden forces.

At the same time, he must tear off a bite of flesh from the opponent's body.

wrong.

It's a few mouthfuls of meat.

While thinking about it, Xu Ran looked at the map.

as far as I can tell.

As [Winter City] joins the embrace of the eternal camp, the territory he actually controls has extended from [Eternal City] all the way to [Winter City] in the north.

Plus the [Ice City] to the northwest.

Xu Ran's current territory roughly looks like an acute triangle.

It was like a sharp knife, fiercely embedded in the territory of the light camp.

However this is not enough.

As the edge of this "sharp knife" or "sharp blade", there are no other main cities in the area where [Winter City] and [Silver Fortress] are located to respond and support them.

So even though this place is like a sharp blade penetrating into the enemy's body.

But it was also surrounded on three sides.

Once a war breaks out.

Maybe it won't be captured by the opponent, but it will definitely be besieged by it.

As a result, the number of troops he needs to support will also increase a lot.

So he set his sights on the [Dead Leaf City] in the south-central part of the Frost Empire under the Light camp.

This main city is similar to [Ice City].

They are all functional main cities.

There are not many resources in it, but its scale and territory are also quite vast.

The most important thing is that it serves as a main city of the Frost Empire.

[Luoye City] is located northwest of [Winter City], right in the middle of the Frost Empire and Xu Ran territory.

If you can get it.

Even though it cannot provide the terrifying massive resources like [Winter City] and [Silver Fortress], it can be used as a buffer zone.

It can also be a springboard.

It can even realize the expectation of him attacking the light camp.

And underneath the map.

At the same time, it is to the south of [Eternal City] and [Ice City], and that side is the territory of the dark camp.

Here, stand two main cities of the dark camp.

One is called [City of Destruction].

One is called [Dark City].

In Xu Ran's eyes, these two main cities even have geographical advantages over [Luoye City].

so.

The [Destroyed City], which contains meteorite ore, and the [Dark City], which is rich in other resources, have become his "prey".

Only in this way.

He can build a relatively complete battle line.

Instead of the current situation where the camp only has two main cities, which is too shabby.

But to achieve all this, you must have enough strength.

Therefore, the buff of NPC equipment is particularly important.

The equipment attributes of NPCs will be increased by 50%.

This degree of increase.

It is even enough to make the equipment achieve a leap in quality!

And this is also complementary to a plan that Xu Ran is going to implement later.

Generally speaking.

Like these recruited legions, they come with standard equipment of corresponding levels at the beginning.

But the quality of these equipment is only red gold quality at the highest.

Even the epic rare quality legions recruited by Xu Ran, the quality of the equipment they wear is only purple gold.

And Xu Ran's plan is to take advantage of this opportunity.

First, let the main cities under his command recruit all the life NPCs such as master-level blacksmiths and tailors, and then start forging directly.

Now he has the corresponding drawings in his hand.

Just spend more military merit points to exchange for other epic blueprints, and you will definitely be able to forge equipment of the corresponding quality.

In that case.

Once these magnificent legions equipped with epic NPC suits appear in front of the main cities of the two camps.

It will definitely scare them.

Maybe, with a very small number of people, we can resist the large-scale invasion of the enemy.

Thinking of this.

Xu Ran has made a decision in his heart.

Now that he has obtained the seedling of the world tree.

Then everything will start to speed up.

The first thing to solve is the [Silver Fortress] in front of him, which is extremely important to him.
