Chapter 82: The Storm is Coming
As soon as this system announcement came out, everyone felt that the system was too capable of making trouble, and according to general inertial thinking, people would think that clearing the third-level cottage was a large-scale but normal task or activity, and they only needed to participate in it. Who knew that the player could also join the Rogue side to fight against the imperial court, and in order to make up for the gap between the two sides, the Rogue even increased his strength a lot, making things more and more interesting.
Not long after the system announcement of the Liukou was broadcast, just like the Hailing County Order issued a task in response to the imperial court's cleanup of the Liukou, the Liukou in Hailing County also spoke out collectively, hoping that more players could join them.
It has to be said that on the bright side, there is indeed a big advantage to joining the Rogue side, and anyone who kills the Imperial Court forces during this mission will gain three times more experience, and any items dropped will belong to the individual. Fortunately, players don't enjoy the bonus of strength after joining the third-level cottage, otherwise the player's minimum strength is a fifth-order soldier, which is a huge challenge for the siege party.
But the bad news is that the loyalty of the residents in the third-level cottage is 90 points, and above 90, the effect of hatred and hatred will be triggered, and the defenders will take the initiative to help defend the city. After reaching 100 loyalty, it is not as simple as hatred, and the inhabitants of the territory will fight against any foreign invasion or sudden disaster, etc. So now if you want to take down a third-level cottage, in addition to considering the defenders of a higher rank and the participation of players, you must also consider the help of some residents to the defenders.
As soon as a few announcements came out, a large number of players poured into the forum, all discussing the intentions of the system. Players can choose to join either side's faction, or stay neutral, and generally won't trouble the neutral camp, but once they choose their identity, they can't change it until the end of this story mission - being so manipulated by the system, no one knows when it will end.
In general, players can hug their thighs when they join the imperial court camp, after all, there is a county order to lead the army to attack the cottage in person, as well as merits and points, but the mortality rate is much higher than that of the rogue invitation. If you join the Rogue faction, you should gain experience quickly, especially when defending the city, it is easy to kill the siege soldiers. If you can last a little longer, it won't be a problem to even upgrade a few levels during the mission, but I'm afraid that if you die continuously before the mission ends, you will trigger an increased death penalty and drop several levels in a row.
Although there are many players who feel that it will be more stable to join the court camp, there are still many players who choose to join the rogue camp, and this part of the players is mainly scattered players, and lord players dare not try. You're a scattered player who is alone, and if you die, you're dead, but if I, a lord-type player, joins the Rogue Bandit, the entire territory belongs to the Rogue camp, and then I'm not going to be beaten by other forces? And more importantly, the player's village and township cannot enjoy that strength bonus, and it will be very dangerous without the protection of the city wall, so almost all lord players have chosen the imperial court camp, and Lu Shuang is no exception.
Smiling Lingyun They also sent a voice message just now to ask him what he thought, and Lu Shuang could only say that this system activity was exactly what he wanted. He asked Smile and the others to assist in the siege or clean up some lone players, while he himself went to eat a big meal and attacked a cottage alone.
Smile was shocked when he heard this, Lu Shuang actually wanted to attack a cottage without cooperating with anyone during this period, and all the defenders he had to face were above the fifth order. Although I know that your power is strong, but this is too strong, and there is no guild that dares to say that you can eat a third-level cottage alone.
Lu Shuang naturally wouldn't tell them his details, this was the best time to get merit, and he didn't want to share such a piece of cake with the people of the entire county. Since the Hailing County Order said that a pair of Black Tiger Cottages will use troops in July, then they will attack other cottages, and I believe that the players who join the Liukou side will go to assist the Black Tiger Cottage to defend the city, and the other cottages are not patronized, and they are idle when they go.
For a while, the entire territory began to operate, a large amount of grain was transported from various settlements to King Kong Town, and ten stone carts were also urgently transferred back from Tiefan Town, looking ready to attack. And the armies of Feitian Town and Fog Shadow City also began to move, in addition to the defenders who cleaned up the rebel camp and various small and medium-sized monster camps on a daily basis, a total of 20,000 soldiers were transferred to King Kong Town, which was almost the entire force that could be mobilized. But no one would underestimate the strength of the 20,000 army, even Lu Shuang's Danyang Qing soldiers sent a part of it to the field, even if this lineup faced an army of 100,000, it would be a matter of minutes to destroy it.
At the same time, in view of the enhancement of the force value of the combat professions above the king level, Lu Shuang brought Wang Yue and Cheng Hui with him for the sake of insurance, which shows the importance he attaches to this operation. The announcement refers to all combat classes, and it is possible that the Ranger will also play. Ranger, general, martial artist, soldier, etc. are all combat professions, but the ranger is the main force and vice intelligence points, will not add politics and commanders, and can be equal to the generals in terms of force value, but the skills of the ranger are added to the intelligence value, and the fighting ability alone is that the ranger is slightly better than the general.
There is a newly refreshed third-level cottage less than fifty miles away from King Kong Town, and if you don't get rid of him in time, you may always be a threat to King Kong Town. At the same time, because of the proximity, although the use of troops is fast, sometimes some arrangements are easy to find.
In order to occupy the cottage with minimal casualties like the one in Fog Shadow City, Lu Shuang had to plan this operation repeatedly, and there could be no mistakes, otherwise there would be a lot of casualties among the seventh- and eighth-order soldiers he brought. If one NPC soldier dies, there will be one less, and Lu Shuang doesn't want his precious soldiers to die too much.
In fact, Lu Shuang not only valued the city, merit and points, but also mentioned obtaining official positions in the announcement, and the announcement of Hailing County also mentioned the recognition of the top ten player forces. If you can eat one or two cottages by yourself, then the points must be the highest for you, and it is also good to mix one official and two positions, at least the favorability will be higher in the face of NPCs.
Now players across China are gearing up to get a piece of the pie in this event and even get the top 10 in points. The big guild is desperately collecting in-game currency and equipment before the action starts, which is an opportunity and a risk, and the strength is not enough to be easily overtaken by other small guilds that have joined forces.
Scattered players don't have so many scruples, they join different forces according to their own preferences or strength, even if they join the rogue camp, they can choose to return to the identity of the court camp after the plot is over, so many players have no fear, and they are not afraid that they will be retaliated against or wanted later.
After the end of choosing a faction, about thirty percent of the players chose to become a rogue Kou, which added a lot of difficulty to the players who chose the court camp to attack the cottage, and players on both sides inevitably went to the forum to launch a war of words.
