Section 173: Starchild

Less than twenty meters after entering the city, everyone came to the first intersection, Jing Liu pointed to the 'giant curved floor-to-ceiling windows' on the top floor of two four-story buildings in the northeast and northwest corners: "Why is the top window of that house so big, and there are no window frames and glass installed. ≤ ≤ ≤ Xiao ≤ said, "

If you are a newcomer player who has just joined the game, you will indeed be confused, in fact, these top floors facing the inner side of the city gate are not inhabited, but are the firing positions where the bed crossbow and magic crystal cannon are placed, and at the same time give ranged units and spellcasters a relatively safe space, so Marceau began to popularize these knowledge: "Jingliu, the road we came here before was all two-story small buildings, right?" ”

"Well, then what. Jing Liu looked at Marceau with a curious expression.

"The location on the fourth floor is the place where the bed crossbow and the magic crystal cannon are placed, and at the same time, the ranged class and the spellcaster will also be placed in that position, where you can condescendingly control the city gate area, if the intruder wants to use the two-story building to cover the advance, you can also use the magic crystal cannon to destroy it if necessary, and the flying rubble and building materials will also cause secondary damage. As soon as Marceau finished speaking, Jing Liu turned his head to look at his third brother Kang, who nodded: "Marceau is right, we players also arranged the defense line in Warhammer Century, a qualified fortress is a diagonal upward building and foundation layout from the outside to the inside, so that if there are intruders, as long as they can't fly or can't control the air, then they are basically in a disadvantageous position to attack on the back, and the defenders can easily kill the invaders." ”

Konstantin was also very good, Marceau could see the fortress in the distance when he poked his head here, it should be the fortress of the Sacalam Warband, the street from where the cat cub was located began to have a slope, and at every intersection, and in the middle of the street, there will be some four-story buildings that at first glance are synonymous with tall and sturdy, if those two-story buildings are mostly brick and wood structures. These four-story buildings are all-stone structures built using arcane art, with no gaps or masonry, as if they had been dug out of a single stone.

Some people may say that fossils can be used as mud to deal with these buildings, but Marceau can only say that it is too simplistic to think about how many such all-stone support points there are in such a giant city, and how many casters on the defending side need to be fought against by the attacking caster. Without an absolute advantage in the number of casters, it would be irresponsible to waste mana and spell slots on fossilized mud.

Therefore, any large city, as long as it has a complete city defense structure and a variety of support points, combined with a large number of ranged classes and spellcasters, as well as the numerous melee squads guarding them, is enough to become a lingering nightmare for the attackers - the later Palo Ernst and Ashbee defense circles have made an exception for New Eden's army of undead who have never failed, and countless undead and player-mixed troops have smashed their heads on the defensive line.

"Sure enough, it's uphill from here. Hopefully, the City Lord's Mansion won't be in the castle that looks big in the distance. Aeryk looked at the fortress in the distance and muttered.

"Probably not, the City Lord's Mansion will be in a flatter location, after all, it is a place to deal with many things, and it will be troublesome to place it in a fortress. Konstantin shook his head and motioned to his younger brother not to think too much: "It's very likely that the city lord's residence is in the fortress, after all, the fortress is safer and more hidden. ”

"Ah, like my mother, I usually work on the Holy Oak. I'll be back on the 'First Admiral' in the evening to reunite with my father, right? When Aeryk heard his third brother's introduction, he immediately responded: "It's really possible." Guys like this don't live in just one location, maybe there will be other hidden houses. ”

"Ah, I see, it's like Dad helping Lena, Mom, and Aunt Ching Hai, Aunt Tranquility, and the houses they bought. Jing Liu's words made the temperature in the carriage drop directly below zero. Marceau held his forehead, thinking to himself that it really didn't matter what he heard today, and that a common cat cub like himself would really not be killed...... Glanced at Konstantin...... Meow a Mikonstantin, you guy is pretending to be asleep! and drooling!!

And Aeryk, who was also holding his forehead, stretched out his free right hand and twisted his brother's ear fiercely: "Brother, if you don't want to be punished by your mothers, please forget what you just said anyway." ”

"Oh. I know. Jing Liu covered his ears and said with a small mouth.

After a long while, Konstantin suddenly raised his head: "Hey, why did I fall asleep." ”

In this regard, the little ones sitting in the carriage unanimously made their middle fingers.

…………

In the end, the two carriages stopped in front of a hotel, everyone got out of the car, and the kittens noticed that the pseudo-Zhengtai Uncle Liu also got off the horse, and was standing beside Yang to say something, and when Marceau and the others approached, Yang pointed to the hotel: "Uncle Liu said that he had booked a hotel for us, and he said that they had something to do today, so let's move by ourselves, and he also prepared a map for us, and he will definitely not let us get lost when we go out." ”

"Thank you so much, Uncle Liu. "Since there is such a good thing of falling asleep and encountering a pillow, Marceau is certainly happy to see it.

"You don't need to thank me for anything, you helped the Sakaram Wargroup recover the lost goods, and also confirmed the death of the two thieves for us. Liu Chunfeng said the news that everyone was a little surprised, because it was Marceau, considering that this was the moment when acting skills were needed, Marceau took over the conversation with some joy: "Hey, are you meeting us in that big fortress?" ”

"No, I'm going to meet you at the City Lord's Mansion, the fortress is a military restricted area, and even the players of our Sakaram Warband can't enter at will. Liu Chunfeng said this, took out a pocket watch from his arms and looked at it: "Ah, I'm leaving, it's not far from the meeting time, tomorrow I will take you to ride the griffin, the griffin knight is the characteristic profession of our Sakaram warband, I told the Grand Master, he agreed to let you ride once, after all, what you did for us made you the most popular group of guests in the eyes of our warband." ”

"It's an honor, Mr. Liu. Konstantin smiled and stroked his chest and saluted: "Then can we feel free to play in the city today?" ”

"That's right, I've prepared a detailed map of the city for Ryu. And there are also several military restricted areas and important facilities marked, except for these locations, you can play around in other neighborhoods at will, but you have to be careful, the thieves' guilds in the city have been a bit too much recently, if you run into them to commit murder. Remember not to hesitate to return the color, but it is best not to use a ranged weapon such as a firearm to avoid accidental injury. When Uncle Liu said this, he also pointed at Marceau: "Marceau, I know your skills, protect the girls, otherwise I will go back and ask you." ”

"Since I can do it, of course I will protect the girls. "There is no need for Uncle Liu to say anything about this, Marceau naturally thinks that this is what a cat cub should do.

"Hey, uncle. Do you have a thieves' guild here? Jing Liu asked a little strangely.

"Where there are people, there will be thieves' guilds, and these guys used to be petty thieves, but lately they have been going crazy and daring to do it during the day, so I want to warn you. Liu Chunfeng stretched out his hand and patted Jing Liu's little head: "Okay, everyone, I'll go first, have a good time." ”

Seeing Liu Chunfeng ride away on his tall horse, everyone entered the hotel. Yang immediately photographed the entire map to the side of the long table, and the crowd gathered around. Immediately frightened by the scale of this map, Jing Liu glanced at it: "1:15000?"

"That's right, on this map, which is at least two meters long and wide, there is a city at a scale of 1:15,000......" Konstantin took a deep breath: "In any case, I have to pay tribute to the guys who built Sakaram, they built a great city that will be passed down to the world." ”

"Look. There is also the inner city wall, which should be the fortress area of the first open era, such a city, even if it gives me an army of one million people, I dare not say that I can take it. Eleuk sighed at the map, "Unless I have an endless army of the undead like the Undead Lord of the First Open Age." First, there is no need to worry about morale, and second, there is no need to worry about logistical drag...... But the city never fell in the first open era, which was a legendary era, and it's no wonder that so many veteran players still miss the first open era to this day. ”

"Uh......h I have a phobia of density......" Jing Liu looked at the map for a while, and looked uncomfortable.

"Okay, now is not the time to be impressed by the size of the city, I'll assign a task. Yang looked at everyone and assigned the task: "The City Lord's Mansion is on the edge of the market area, draw a circle with the City Lord's Mansion as the central axis, and divide it into 12 areas of clocks, I and Marceau's group are responsible for reconnoitering the area from two o'clock to six o'clock, the group of Long and Constantine is responsible for reconnoitering the area from six o'clock to ten o'clock, and Anne, and the group of Aeryuk and Jingliu are responsible for reconnoitering the area from ten o'clock to two o'clock. ”

"No problem. In Marceau's opinion, this is the safest configuration, and the three best players Marceau, Anne and Constantine, are evenly divided among the three squads, which will not waste resources and protect other teammates.

Watching Yang draw three dividing lines on the map with a virtual paintbrush, everyone nodded and snapped the map panorama with a screenshot eyeball.

"At noon we solve each other, remember to go back to the hotel before the evening, if there is a problem to contact the carrier pigeon. ”

"Alright, I'll take Konstantin and set off!" As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged Konstantin out of the hotel in a hurry.

"Then let's go, sister, be careful on the road. Before Anne followed Aleuk and Jingliu away, she said goodbye to her sister and Marceau: "And Marceau, protect your sister." ”

"Well, don't worry. Marceau nodded.

Yang put away the map, then reached out and took Marceau's hand: "Marceau, let's go." ”

"Okay. With a flick of his tail, Marceau followed Yang out of the hotel. (To be continued......)

PS: Hey, do you prefer chopping and chopping? I don't think there's anything wrong with that vote...... Ah, please bear with me, the joke of the four cards is what I thought of from the beginning, so after I finish writing these presets, the relevant battle plot will appear, after all, the current plot is not a good opportunity to do it.
