Chapter 531: The War Begins
The crackling flames rose into the sky, illuminating half the sky red.
Billowing black smoke kept rising, filling the air with a choking smell.
Eve glanced at the orc tribe, which was gradually enveloped in fire under the ravages of the players, and shook her head slightly as she listened to the whistles and laughter coming from all around.
"Let's go."
She said.
"Hmm."
Xiao Xianmeow nodded.
She took a deep breath and shouted in her guild legion's battlefield subchannel:
"Comrades, it's almost time, it's time to retreat!"
The crisp and loud voice spread throughout the battlefield channel......
With Xiao Xianmeow's order, players everywhere suddenly took action.
Armed with lucrative booty and orc captives, they began to laugh and curse as they moved towards the northern part of the tribe.
There, there is a direct passage to the player's camp opened by the Crypt Spiders, which is also the entrance to their invasion of the Orc tribe.
Players crowded into the entrance of the crypt like ants moving, and lined up to go underground one by one......
After the last player leaves, the Crypt Spiders swarm in.
At the same time, they also buried the exit of the passage again.
Another round of raids against the orc tribe has come to a successful conclusion.
The underground passages opened by the crypt spiders are long and narrow.
Players use illumination, ride crypt spiders, or use galloping magic to speed through the ground.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that they finally returned to the ground, in the camp.
Compared to a few days ago, the player's camp has changed a lot.
A ring of earthen walls eight meters high and four meters wide has been erected around the perimeter of the camp.
It was built by the players with the help of magic, using local sand and obsidian, and was designed by the Gollum Bird.
The earthen wall encloses the entire camp, and when viewed down from the sky, it looks like a huge magic array.
On top of the earthen wall, there are simple battlement walls, and ballistas that have been placed, and every other section of the earthen wall, there will be an earthen platform about 11 or 2 meters high, on which a demon-modified trebuchet is placed.
At the same time, you can see flags fluttering in the cold wind on the earthen wall, and there are at least hundreds of them as far as the eye can see.
The banners have different patterns and beautiful designs, which belong to each player's guild.
Inside the camp, the tents where the players were stationed were also reorganized, divided into several large districts by guild, and smooth roads were built between different large tent settlements.
The road radiates into the center of the camp, an open square.
In the center of the square is a high platform on which the idol of the god Eve is enshrined.
Beneath the high platform, there is also an altar, on which is placed a square module depicted with intricate magical patterns and shimmering with brilliance.
This is the core of the city's defenses that can build a divine defense barrier.
The core was not captured, nor was it made by the players temporarily, but Xiao Xianmeow persuaded the black dragon Merrell to be lazy to remove it from the black dragon castle.
It's all about saving time......
And with the city defense core and the statue of the true god, it means that the magic defense power can be released.
Once the war begins, players can activate the power in the idols and activate the magical defensive barriers, which may not be as powerful as Sandstorm City, but will strengthen the earthen walls they have built.
At this point, the defensive force of the player's camp has been formed.
From a distance, it no longer looks like a makeshift camp, but rather a rudimentary fortress.
Seeing the changes in the camp, Eve was very satisfied.
All this work, the players before and after the time of less than seven days, it can be said that the construction speed is quite heavenly.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the rich construction experience accumulated by the players.
With the construction of the Chosen City in front and the transformation of several elven cities in front, building a city is no longer a problem for players.
The return of the Meng Meng Committee Legion did not cause much of a stir in the camp.
In addition to those players who want to buy specialties, many more players have long been accustomed to the actions of several major guilds, and just take a few more glances before continuing to go about their business.
The whole camp is very noisy and lively, like a market.
However, the most crowded place is the square in the middle of the camp.
Due to the distance, it is inconvenient for players to return to the Elven Forest, and as a place to worship the statue of the goddess, it has gradually become a center of activity for players in a sense.
Exchange equipment, exchange skills, apply for job transfers, bind equipment......
All of this is going to be done here.
At the same time, there are many players hanging up in the square, and some people are holding bonfires, laughter and music are continuous.
In addition, because almost all the players on the server have gathered in the camp, some business-minded players have even set up shops around the square, and there is a lot of shouting and buying.
It's not like a camp, it's like a small town that's on the rise.
It's very prosperous.
Standing here, even Eve suddenly had the illusion of returning to the central square of the Chosen City.
This made her sigh that the players' adaptability and creativity are really strong.
She originally thought that the players would feel uncomfortable with the convenience of the Chosen City because they were familiar with it, but she didn't expect that even a camp could be transformed by them into a small sparrow with all kinds of organs......
Eve had no doubt that if they were given a few more months, this would no longer be a camp, but a city!
The golden-red sun continued to sink in the west, plating the desert with an intoxicating orange coat.
The wrinkles of sand and gravel are like solidified waves, stretching into the distant horizon......
Eve stood on the earthen wall of the camp and looked into the distance.
Her gaze gradually lingered on the sandstorm city hidden in the darkness in the south.
"It's about to begin."
She muttered.
As if in response to Eve's self-talk, after a while, there was a commotion in the originally lively camp......
Immediately afterward, Eve noticed that Li Mu hurriedly came to the earthen wall, looking left and right.
When he saw Eve, his eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a look of surprise:
"Master Zero, we have information that the orcs will attack tomorrow morning!"
"However, it is not clear exactly how many troops they will send."
Connecting to the underworld is both an advantage and a weakness of Sandstorm City.
For black marketeers in the underworld, there is nothing that money can't buy.
Players will be able to get the idol of Holdall with the Black Market Merchant, as well as get information about the inside of Sandstorm City.
And if it weren't for the orcs at least knowing the identity of the people who entered the country, otherwise, there would have been a bold player pretending to be a black marketeer to infiltrate Sandstorm City to cause trouble......
Listening to Li Mu's words, Eve nodded lightly:
"I see."
"Then be prepared for the fight, consider the worst-case scenario, they are likely to come out of the nest."
"Before the mythical power comes into play, it's up to you how much damage you can inflict on the orcs."
Li Mu nodded heavily, looking excited:
"Yes!"
……
News of the orcs about to attack quickly spread throughout the camp.
The camp, which was originally relaxed and lively, soon turned into a wartime state.
The bonfire is over, the buying and selling is over, and the hang-up is over......
The players were excited, and their eyes were full of anticipation of the war.
This plan of action is no secret in the whole server.
And the orcs decided to go out, which meant that they took the bait.
The real decisive battle is likely to come.
It is likely that this battle will directly affect the course of the entire war!
The higher-ups of the various guilds began to take action, summoning guild members and actively preparing for war.
Players who are online are also calling out their friends and contacting their offline friends to remind them that they are ready to go live.
The entire player camp is like a huge weapon of war, slowly moving.
The mobilization for war lasted nearly three hours before it slowly ended.
The bustling camp gradually fell silent.
Only the flickering lights, and a few figures still flickering in the darkness.
Most of the players are offline.
They are going to recharge their batteries and prepare for the next day's battle
One Night...... Soon passed.
……
The morning glow is overwhelming, and the red sun on the desert is like a huge hot red agate, which is brilliant and charming.
The light shone on the yellow-brown earthen walls, and the whistling morning breeze rustled the flags.
Early morning came.
Players gear up and step out of their tents.
They greeted each other and yawned lazily.
At the same time, you can also hear their complaints from time to time:
"Really...... I feel like a few more times like this, and I really can't tell the difference between reality and game time. ”
"I can now confirm that the story of this game was definitely not designed in advance! Otherwise, the time of the Great War would never be so perverted......"
"I think it's a matter of planning......"
"Harm, thinking is speeding up! It's good to get used to it, and after a few seconds of adapting to the game, you won't be sleepy. And we're playing here, and we're still making up for sleep on the other side of reality, aren't we? ”
"Okay......"
It's hard for them, too.
Unlike the world of Saigs, which is already early in the morning, the current Blue Star time is still three o'clock in the night, and many players set an alarm clock and get up directly from the bed in order to participate in the battle as soon as possible.
Although after entering the game, their bodies on the blue star can still enter a state of sleep and rest, but when they come out like this in the middle of the night, anyone can't help but feel sleepy.
Not only that, but because they were too excited to sleep, there were many people who were in a poor mental state when they went online.
Of course, they only moved for a while, and they quickly became energetic.
Players descend to the world of Seggs only with consciousness.
When their consciousness is separated from their bodies, the negative state of their bodies naturally does not affect them.
And for part of the Liver Emperor of "Elven Country".
As long as the stealth module's body monitoring system doesn't alarm them, they can even stay in the game until they are "old......
Back to the present.
As time went on, more and more players came online.
The number of people online on the battlefield channel is also gradually approaching 100,000.
Unlike the previous division of troops, this time it was a real battle of 100,000 troops.
Even if they complain again, the players are rubbing shoulders one by one and looking forward to it.
The quiet camp is gradually becoming lively again.
"Are trebuchets and ballistae checked? And magic stone dynamite! ”
"Alright, alright! It's all set! ”
"How's the Divine Defense Barrier? Is it working? ”
"No problem!"
"Are there any people who haven't been on the battlefield channel? Hurry up! The public screen has been urged! ”
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
"Do you have any ones there that aren't online? Call them now! ”
"Rub, you won't be scolded if you call in the middle of the night, right? This Nima is only half past three......"
"If you didn't say it in advance, you won't fight! Wake up those who said they were going online but didn't come! Eighty percent of them set the alarm clock and turned off and fell asleep! ”
"It's too real......"
The rhythmic BGM sounded again on the battlefield channel, stimulating everyone's nerves.
The players took their positions, and soon the earthen walls were filled with heavily armed elves.
By the time they were fully prepared, the sky had lit up.
Sandstorm City, which had been hidden in darkness due to the shelter of the mountains and its own color, also reappeared in the sunlight......
And when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone on the top of the 100-meter spire, all the players heard a loud horn:
"Whew-"
The horn is deep, vicissitudes, and profound.
And hearing the sound of this horn, players who had participated in the battle of the Black Dragon Castle were dazzled:
"It's the horn of the orcs! It's their offensive number! ”
"They...... It's really going to attack! ”
Listening to the popular science of the old-timers, the new players were shocked.
They craned their necks, either by magic, or with wide eyes, looking in the direction of Sandstorm City......
At a distance of twenty kilometers, coupled with various terrain blocks, they did not really see it.
Just faintly, I noticed that there seemed to be sand and dust churning at the horizon.
However, Eve, who was standing on the earthen wall tower, saw the movement of Sandstorm City clearly.
The orcs acted.
The 200,000 orcs stationed in four directions outside the city left the station, and they formed four large military formations and began to move slowly in the direction of the players.
At the same time, the gates of Sandstorm City slowly opened, and heavily armed orc warriors continued to pour in from the city to join the army outside the city.
On the ground, dust was flying and covered with rolled yellow sand.
Countless flags were erected by the orcs, tribal symbols large and small in the Desert of Death.
A gigantic Beamon beast appeared in the orc formation, roaring, roaring, and flapping their hairy chests as they marched forward in the midst of the horde.
As far as the eye can see, the black is overwhelming.
Gradually, a deafening sound began to be heard.
It was the footsteps of the orc army as it marched.
The war began......
