Volume 1, In the Human World, Chapter 83, Battle of the Stronghold

Every Friday at half past eight o'clock in the evening, all districts of Taxian including the two domains of gods and demons will conduct an hour-long stronghold city battle. The two realms of gods and demons are not mentioned for the time being, but only the four regions of the human world.

The Immortal Realm Continent is divided into Kyushu. If Zhongzhou is taken as the starting point, there are Qianzhou in the southwest foothills, and Yunzhou adjacent to the East China Sea, these three states are inhabited by mortals; Yanxi Prefecture in the northwest, Rin Beizhou in the north, Canglan Prefecture in the south, and these three states are criss-crossed.

As for the three states on the sea where the legendary immortals lived: Yingzhou, Penglai, and Abbot, they are three isolated pure lands. Although it is not really inhabited by immortals, only immortal cultivators with advanced Dao methods can explore it.

In order to resist the invasion of demons, in addition to relying on the protection of the major immortal gates, mortals also formed many immortal cultivation forces, and they cooperated with each other to lay a total of three enchantments, which shrouded Zhongzhou, Yunzhou and Qianzhou respectively.

And these so-called "forces" are, of course, the gangs formed by the players themselves.

The location of the ten strongholds of the Immortals is actually the location of the three enchantments in the three states of Zhongyun and Guizhou.

Ten cities with different styles are suspended in the sky, becoming the closest existence to the divine realm in the human world, and also symbolizing the powerful power that people look up to, awe and rely on!

It's just that time has passed, and in addition to their own functions as protective barriers for the three states, the three major enchantments have given birth to a more complex meaning.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. They compete with each other, confront each other, contain each other, and depend on each other, and the major forces in the immortal cultivation world are no exception.

According to the geographical area of the three states, there are four strongholds in Zhongzhou, three each in Yunzhou and Qianzhou, forming a three-legged situation, which players are used to calling "camps".

Of course, the gameplay of the faction is also rich, but the premise of all this is the formation of the faction, that is, the occupation of the ten strongholds. As for the method and channel of occupation, there is no doubt that it is the battle of the stronghold that begins at half past eight every Friday night.

In the first Stronghold City Battle, the system will randomly assign the top 10 Gangs on the Gang Leaderboard to occupy a Stronghold each. In other words, these ten gangs, as the defenders of the stronghold city battle, will face the competition for the ownership of the stronghold from other gangs!

After the city battles, the stronghold gangs in each state form a "faction" and compete with the other factions for the rest of the week.

Gangs that do not occupy a stronghold can also choose a faction to join, and participate in weekly faction competitions under the leadership of the stronghold gang, and finally obtain the corresponding system rewards.

In order to correspond to the existence of the camp, the gang rankings of the major regional servers of Taxian will also be refined into three sub-categories on the original basis, which are the gang rankings belonging to the three camps of Zhongzhou, Yunzhou and Qianzhou.

Unfortunately, in the clouds, Zhongyue and Dao Chaotian were not randomly assigned to the same camp by the system, but occupied Yuejiao City in the east of Yunzhou and Drag Wind City in the southwest of Zhongzhou, respectively.

The two places are far apart, and to be honest, unless they spend a lot of money to open a teleportation array, it will not be easy for each other to rush to each other's aid. If you are a little careless, I am afraid that the support will not be able to be completed, and you will be drawn from the bottom of the kettle!

At 8:20 in the evening, why bother thinking about the old man and the killing of the stop killing had already taken the gang group to their respective stronghold cities to step on the spot. As the leader of the gang, Yun Shanchao naturally cannot be absent.

Zhang Huanyu saw that Ling Luye was alone, and immediately pulled up the potato seeds and willow lotus smoke and rain without seeing it, and ran to the evil mirror platform to team up with Ling Luye to brush the mini-boss.

The three of them have not been idle in the past two days, and Zhang Huanyu's 10,000 miles of cold light has quickly risen to level twenty-six. Potato seeds and willow lotus smoke and rain are slightly faster than Ling Luye's progress, and they are already more than halfway through level twenty-nine.

Upgrading was important, and since the copy record of the twenty-fifth level five-person book had not been surpassed since it was refreshed by Ling Hao's four-person team, he didn't plan to run to re-brush it in this hurry, but only to be lazy occasionally.

Ling Luye stabbed with a gun, and before Huo Wu could accept it, the small boss in front of him had turned into a cloud of green smoke in front of the four of them. The warrior's body flowed with golden light, and he finally rose from level twenty-eight to twenty-nine.

Ling Hao shook his head with a little distress: "It took nearly two hours to upgrade, and it can't be done properly before ten o'clock." I'm afraid that Hu Lai will curse people on the world channel again. ”

Zhang Huanyu was immediately indignant: "Be content, Brother Ling!" I didn't rise as fast as you from twenty-five to twenty-six! ”

"Then how can your spawning speed compare to mine?" Ling Hao smiled as a matter of course, and said, "Come on, dear, you still have a competition this Sunday, if you can't rise to level 30, then you can be cool directly!" ”

"Please don't remind me of this sad truth!" Zhang Huanyu had nothing to love, and took advantage of the fact that the new monster had not yet been refreshed, pouting and lying directly on the keyboard.

The preliminary competition schedule for newcomers in the fourth district is all scheduled for this Sunday and beyond, and IGAME has fully considered the leveling progress of newcomers in the new district.

But obviously, this still does not include Zhang Huanyu, who was repeatedly tortured by Xie Xinge's devil training method.

Ling Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the new ghost returning, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately raised the barrel of his gun and rushed towards the boss.

Tudouzi and the others tacitly stayed where they were, just waiting for Ling Luye to pull the ghost over to surround and kill.

This location was discovered by Ling Hao and Yun Shanchao by chance, the middle of the terrain is low and the surrounding is high, and after the boss is pitted, you can press your head to control and kill, and it is also very convenient to dodge AOE skills.

Although this is only better than nothing for players of the level of Ling Hao and Yun Shanchao, Tudouzi and the others can save a lot of energy, and the speed of killing monsters will naturally increase slightly.

Soon it was time for the stronghold city battle, and the entire world of stepping immortals could hear nine distant bells, and they didn't know where they came from and where they would eventually end up.

Ling Hao rarely lifted the block of various chat channels temporarily, and in addition to the output of the T monster, he had to take time to take a look at the gang channel from time to time, and secretly hoped that there would be no chaos in this hour.

Although he had also told the old man to be careful and the road to the sky, after all, this was the first stronghold city battle in the fourth district, so why bother to have no command experience with the stop killing, and a drink and the heavenly chant may not be able to be at ease.

Although the system randomly assigns stronghold cities, it will actually control the balance of each faction to a certain extent, at least the top three gangs are absolutely impossible to be assigned to the same state.

In Yunzhou, Zhongyue is in Yunzhou, Fanyin War Pavilion is in Qianzhou, Yixiao is in Zhongzhou, and the other seven gangs are really randomly assigned.

Although the Great Dao Chaotian and the stronghold city of Yixiao are in Zhongzhou, in terms of geographical location, the location of the Fanyin War Pavilion is closer.

This is also one of the problems that Ling Hao is worried about.

The major gangs in the fourth district have no experience in urban warfare, and they obviously can't play any tricks in a head-on confrontation. If there's a gang that really stands out, it's probably going to be a different way.

And according to the old man who said it, drinking a glass is not good at strategy, and Tiansong Sanskrit is scheming, and the latter is obviously more difficult to deal with than the former.

Stronghold city warfare, the defending gang has three barriers.

The first is the great array of city protection. The attacker will need to work together to break it down, and the defender can also use the various events of the week to boost their defense and health.

However, since this week's fourth district is still the first city battle, all the city's protective arrays are basic values, and as long as there are guilds to attack, it is only a matter of time before they are broken.

Moreover, since Dao Chaotian ranked ninth among the top ten gangs, based on this ranking alone, he also knew that if other gangs wanted to compete for a stronghold, it was very likely that they would choose Dao Chaotian's current location in Drag Wind City.

The second is the guard NPCs distributed in the city. When the moat is broken, the NPCs in the city will attack all non-defending gang players who step within the radius of the stronghold.

Defeating the Guardian Array and killing the Guardian NPCs can both obtain War Exploits, commonly known as "Battle Exploits", which are numerical items used to exchange various rewards in the PVP gameplay system.

The former is similar to the world boss, and the combat merit is calculated according to the output or healing amount; The latter is similar to the wild map boss, which is divided into team hatreds.

This means that players do not have to successfully seize the ownership of the city to obtain combat merits, nor do they have to participate in stronghold city battles as a gang.

In fact, it's an event that everyone can participate in.

However, there is no doubt that the real heart of Stronghold City Warfare is not here, but the third protective barrier of the defenders, which is the player himself.

The Defending Gang must defend the city's banner and two towers, which symbolize ownership!

Once the tower is captured, the defense of the allied player is reduced; Once the flag has been captured for more than 10 minutes, the ownership of the city changes hands.

Preemption can be repeated during the event time.

In general, both the flag and the tower need to be guarded by a specific player, commonly known as "Banner" and "Tota". The death of the flag-bearer or tota symbolizes the seizure of the tower and the flag.

The basic rules are as simple as that, but for more detailed ones, for example, for the defenders, if the NPCs in the Protectorate are not killed, or if the Protectorate is not broken at all, there will be additional rewards.

But based on Ling Hao's experience in the game over the years, there are not a few gangs that can successfully defend towers and flags, and there are not a few gangs that can save core NPCs. But if you want the city protection array to be impregnable, such a gang has only a handful of districts, and even Yichuan Fengyue is difficult to do!

Of course, this does not rule out the reason why Ichikawa Fengyue is too famous.

Although a single gang can't take the city of Sichuan Fengyue, it can't stand the people of the entire God Domain, and they like to gather together to fight his family's big array!

After all, the power of the people is very strong, no matter how much early blessing it is, it will not be used! This is also another kind of helplessness and annoyance.

Ling Hao let out a low smile and sighed, as if many memories of the city war had slipped through his mind. He suppressed the corners of his mouth that couldn't stop turning up, and finally couldn't settle down, and sent a message to He Bi.

[Secret Chat] [Ling Luye]: How's it going?

The other party has not heard back for a long time, and the gang channel has not seen any valuable information, only the kill announcements set by the players themselves keep swiping the screen.

However, Ling Hao's heart couldn't help but hang.
