Chapter 1060 Naming the Four Symbols
When the four nodes were born, Speaker Hu Jing named them in turn.
The four nodes are located in the east, south, west and north.
Therefore, the Speaker named them respectively - Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.
The east belongs to Azure Dragon, the west belongs to White Tiger, the north belongs to Vermillion Bird and the south belongs to Black Tortoise.
However, as soon as the name came out, it immediately received unanimous negative reviews from everyone.
When Su Yu heard these four names, his first reaction was: "Well... the names are good, but are they a bit common?"
Prime Minister Cao commented: "The four elephants in the Four Elephants Formation have nothing to do with the four sacred beasts. It feels a bit irrelevant."
Zhong Feng commented: "The four sacred beasts have a good meaning, but these names are used too many times in low-quality Chinese style online games. Almost every game has them. They are a bit too common."
The opinions of other bigwigs are similar, and no one approves of these names.
But in the end, Speaker Hu Jing still overruled the public and decided to use these four names.
His explanation was: "Although these four names are widely used, their advantage is that they are easy to remember. Every Chinese knows them, and foreign strongmen also know them to a greater or lesser extent.
If you use those uncommon names, such as Suanni, Yazi, and Pixiu among the nine sons of the dragon... the style is improved, but it is easy to confuse people.
The war is about to begin, and we cannot add burden to the soldiers in this regard, so it is better to use such common names."
Everyone thought about it and it was right. It was indeed not appropriate to use fancy names at this time. The most important thing was to make it easy for everyone to remember, so they accepted it.
After more than half a month of running-in, everyone gradually got used to these four names.
In order to better fit the theme of the four sacred beasts, Prime Minister Cao and other eighth-level bosses also took the initiative to transform the appearance of the first line of defense.
At the Qinglong node in the east direction, Prime Minister Cao changed the paint of the buildings, walls, defense weapons, etc. to green and blue, and also arranged a circle of green and blue light columns around the node. People can tell at a glance that this is the Azure Dragon node;
Su Yu and other high-level players are not idle either.
The Azure Dragon node in the east uses turquoise, and the White Tiger node in the west uses blue and white for decoration. Whether it is the building, wall, or even the floating chariot and mecha, they all use this paint;
The Vermillion Bird node in the north is transformed with orange and red;
The Black Tortoise node in the south is transformed with gold and yellow;
After the transformation, the four nodes have different colors, which are highly recognizable and look very similar!
After that, no one said that the four sacred beasts were not up to standard, but began to like these four different styles.
…
In addition to the four different color styles, the four nodes also need the top strongmen to garrison.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that the Azure Dragon node in the east would be garrisoned by the First Emperor and Zhong Feng; the White Tiger node in the west would be garrisoned by Prime Minister Cao and Lao Meng.
The remaining two nodes, the Vermillion Bird node in the north and the Black Tortoise node in the south are relatively more important.
According to estimates, these two nodes should become the main attack direction of the Skrulls, so more forces need to be deployed.
The Xuanwu node in the south is guarded by Su Yu, Cat Morning Star and Xu Xiaotian;
The Suzaku node in the north is guarded by Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Taizong and Senior Yang Jian.
The strength of Emperor Liu Che and his three companions is only at the early stage of Mahayana. In theory, the combined strength of the three of them is not as good as Su Yu alone.
But don't forget that Su Yu's clone and the magic army under his clone are also in the north.
The comprehensive strength of the magic army is almost equivalent to four eighth-level existences. With Emperor Liu Che and his three companions, the comprehensive strength will not be inferior to that of the south.
In this way, the garrison duties of the four nodes were determined.
But duties are not completely fixed.
When it really comes to a critical moment, for example, the Skrulls go all out to attack one direction, then all the high-level forces of Blue Star will definitely gather together to fight together, and will not defend the node to death.
Moreover, the first line of defense is very short, and it will not take too much time to support.
A rank 6 cultivator can fly a circle in 10 minutes over a short distance of 214 kilometers. It only takes a dozen seconds for a peak Mahayana cultivator like Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor to rush from one end to the other, so the defense system is very flexible and everyone is not under great pressure.
…
At this time, the Xuanwu node in the south direction.
Looking at the countdown with only half an hour left, Su Yu, Xu Xiaotian and the node soldiers all looked very serious.
The soldiers were conducting the last round of debugging on the defensive weapons deployed in the node. At this critical moment when the war was about to begin, they must not let down the chain.
Xu Xiaotian was slightly nervous holding the short bow in her hand, and her tiny fingers pinched out 5 small marks on the soft bow.
The bow in her hand was a top-level magic bow obtained from the highest-level dungeon in the game - [Ao Tong].
[Ao Tong] is not of high rank, it is a magic bow of rank 7 legendary quality.
At the stage from rank 7 to rank 8, there are many attributes that differ by one rank.
Although this is a seventh-level legendary magic bow, in terms of actual attributes, it is actually similar to the eighth-level green equipment (excellent quality).
The reason why Xu Xiaotian took this bow is not that she is unable to obtain higher-level weapons.
She can get eighth-level equipment with higher attributes. After all, she has Su Yu's help. The golden legend may be a little difficult, but it is not a big problem to get an eighth-level golden epic.
But in the end, Xiaotian did not go for the eighth-level weapon, but chose the seventh-level [Ao Lai].
The main reason for this is that the attributes of Xiaotian and [Ao Lai] are quite consistent.
Xiaotian once used the inheritance stone obtained from the Skrull Star to successfully switch to a special profession - [Arcane Marksman]. [Arcana] is currently the weapon that increases her arcane archery the most in the game.
Therefore, she has carried this bow with her until now.
And she also has a secret weapon, which is the [Dragon Soul Bow] made of Dragon Soul Wood.
The [Dragon Soul Bow] was also obtained by her from the treasure map. Its characteristic is that it can accumulate massive amounts of energy.
She has not used this bow for almost 4 months, and she has accumulated a lot of energy in it. It depends on which "lucky person" can force her to use the power in the bow again.
Looking at the countdown with only half an hour left, Xiaotian was really nervous.
She reached out and pulled Su Yu's sleeve and said nervously: "Nemesis, are you really sure about this battle?"
"Of course." Su Yu nodded calmly.
In fact, Su Yu is also very nervous now. At this moment, even Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor, who have lived for thousands of years, have serious expressions. Although he has lived a new life, nervousness is definitely unavoidable.
But no matter how nervous he was, he couldn't show it in front of Xiaotian and the soldiers.
If he, the coach, is panicking, what will the soldiers below do?
So no matter what, Su Yu had to pretend to be calm.
