Chapter 137: Preparing for War

"Got it, I'll do what you say." Erhei said, "But recently, Dream City has been secretly mobilizing troops, and there are currently two or three hundred thousand, and I don't know how many can really be dispatched in the end." ”

"It's hard to say this at the moment, so let's make arrangements according to the specific situation." Lao Jiu thought for a while and said, "In the past few days, we must pay special attention to the abnormal situation in the Xiaoyao Basin, mainly because of the movements of the major forces. ”

"This is all under our surveillance, and at present, the major forces are already operating secretly, and many players have been notified that there is a mission recently, but the specific mission has not been explained." The stone looked at Lao Jiu and said,

"Did you find anything unusual over there at Longkou Fortress?" Lao Jiu asked Guan Ping'an again.

"The only anomaly is that the number of people entering the Xiaoyao Basin has increased significantly, and there are very few casual players out of the basin recently, almost all of them are some merchant groups, according to the statistics of Longkou Fortress, the number of casual players who have recently entered the basin has exceeded one million, and it is still increasing every day." Guan Ping'an thought for a while and said.

"What are these players doing?" Lao Jiu asked again.

"Basically, they are all in their respective stations or factory activities, and there is no major movement, and there has been no assembly." Guan Ping'an said.

"There are millions of people, and it seems that they really want to play big." Lao Jiu knocked on the table with one hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Pass my order, transfer the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army to return to defense, and you must guard the Longkou Fortress for me!" ”

"Yes!" Guan Ping'an saluted and replied.

"Stone, the area from the Imperial City to the Ascending Heaven Peak, have you carefully checked it?" Lao Jiu suddenly frowned and asked.

"That area is vast and sparsely populated, except for some factories near Xiaoyao City, and our own factories, there are very few players, because for players, there is almost no room for development there, and there are more people to run over there, so there are almost no people on the east side of the basin." Stone thought for a moment and said.

"Our granary is just below the Ascending Peak, such a big loophole, I don't believe they can't catch it, you send me people from the Night Legion to conduct a carpet search from the east of the imperial city, and if you find anything, report to me immediately." Lao Jiu looked at the stone and said dissatisfiedly.

"This is my carelessness, I will pay attention to it in the future, I will arrange people to conduct a secret search." Stone said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, you better arrange your own tasks as soon as possible, it's time for me to move, there are still a lot of equipment waiting for me to deliver, remember if you find anything, you must notify me as soon as possible." Lao Jiu instructed again, and then dispersed.

As soon as the three of them were sent away, Lao Jiu contacted Mi Baoer, who has been reusing the storage space in the past few days to transport the equipment to the city and the imperial city, and Lao Jiu must understand the equipment allocation everywhere.

"What's wrong? Didn't you upgrade today? As soon as the video was connected, Mi Baoer asked.

"No time, are you in the underground arsenal? I'll come to you. Lao Jiu looked at the background, and then said to Mi Bao'er.

"Yes, just now Yuanlu City applied for war preparation materials, and I am counting them." Mibel said.

"You count first, and I'll be there shortly." Lao Jiu replied, then hung up the video and went directly to the underground military factory.

"What kind of equipment have you applied for in Yuanlu City?" It didn't take ten minutes for Lao Jiu to arrive at Mi Bao'er's side, and then looked at Mi Bao'er who was counting the arrows and asked.

"What else could there be, bed crossbows, crossbow arrows, strong bows, and arrows." Mi Bao'er glanced back at Lao Jiu, and then said, "According to the length of the city wall of Yuanlu City, a thousand bed crossbows are needed, and 500,000 crossbow arrows are needed. ”

"The strong bow needs 5,000, which is equipped for the players under the 40 thieves, and the arrows need 2 million, and the 40 thieves have also applied for 5,000 sets of standard equipment, ready to equip the players under them during the war, I want to ask for your opinion."

"How many sets of our Mingguang armor have been produced so far?" Lao Jiu asked with a frown.

"Since the production of the Mingguang armor, the total number has approached 800,000." Mi Bao'er looked at Lao Jiu and said, "The Imperial City Praetorian Guard, the Qilin Legion, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu, the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Gluttony, and the Golden Crow are the eight legions that are preferentially equipped. ”

"The five major legions of the Northeast, Northwest, Bloodthirsty, Killing, and Demon are all complete, this is 610,000 sets, and the two major legions of God of War and Iron Blood have also been put into storage, but in order to keep a low profile, the two legions are not wearing them."

"The Night Legion has reserved 50,000 sets, which will be equipped for special missions, and there are still more than 30,000 sets in stock, and the Mingguang armor produced in the future will be stored as strategic materials for emergencies."

"Then equip the forty thieves with 5,000 sets, but these equipment must be registered with their real names, and they are not allowed to wear them privately, only during the war, or when patrolling the city, although the equipment is distributed, but this is not a personal item after all." Lao Jiu emphasized.

"I'll warn the Forty Thieves, and when I sign an agreement with them, I will also let them sign an agreement with their players." Mibel said.

"What's going on in the Imperial City?" Lao Jiu asked again.

"In three days, it will be able to 'close the dragon's mouth', and then it will be fully completed, which can be regarded as a real miracle in the game, the side length of the city wall alone has reached fifteen kilometers, and this city can really be called the first city in the game." Speaking of the Imperial City, Mi Baoer also had to sigh.

"Is the Imperial City's current city defenses complete?" Lao Jiu asked.

"The city defense layout is basically complete, but the city wall is really too big, it takes sixty kilometers a week, and 50,000 Imperial City Guards are a bit insufficient." "There are 2,000 ordinary bed crossbows and 400 special bed crossbows alone. ”

"To make these bed crossbows operate normally, there will be more than 50,000 operators alone, not counting the staff and operators inside the city wall, the current personnel inside the city wall are all legions that were established before, and the remaining soldiers are more than 100,000 in total."

"But even so, when war breaks out, it will take at least 100,000 people to make the entire city wall work, otherwise it will be a waste for the designed city wall."

"I also thought about this problem at the time, I will solve the problem of manpower, you are now responsible for distributing equipment, I will personally send it everywhere, it will be a lot faster, and I will also do a field trip by the way." Lao Jiu said to Mi Bao'er.

"Okay then, let's solve the problem of Yuanlu City first." Mi Baoer said, and began to explain the assigned equipment to Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu put it into the storage space.

In addition to the consumables of the war, Lao Jiu also delivered a month's worth of grain and grass to Yuanlu City. Due to the limited materials, Mi Baoer's improved bed crossbows were only 500 in total, and 400 were used for each enemy platform in the imperial city, so only 20 were allocated to the city.

Because Nantianmen and other border fortresses are also needed, and as key defense objects, Qiangcheng, Nantianmen, and Longkou Fortress are all divided into twenty. And Qilin Pass, Teng Snake Valley, and Grand Canyon, each pass fortress is only divided into ten.

These big killers are mainly used to threaten level 70 players, so that individual level 70 players can be restricted and prevented from doing whatever they want. If there is less threat to level 70 players, then the city defense is a little funny.

The total area of the city was only twenty-five square kilometers, and what they had to defend was only an attack from the west. In addition to the forty thieves and their 5,000 troops, the Xuanwu Legion was also stationed in the city.

With 50,000 troops garrisoned, the city should be unbreakable, but in order to be on the safe side, Lao Jiu still mobilized the three major legions of bloodthirsty, killing, and demons to secretly go to support. Because Yuanlu City is a battleground for soldiers after all, for the sake of insurance, Lao Jiu still didn't dare to gamble.

After arranging the defense of the Siege City, Lao Jiu began to set up a game in the Imperial City in person. The first is the city wall. The design concept of the imperial city's city walls is different from other city walls, and the only way to go up the city wall is the inner staircase, which is divided into three floors.

The bottom layer is the rest area for changing defenses, plus the living area, and the upper two floors have secret openings, which belong to the offensive area, and the entire city wall is like an independent world, and the entire city wall, both inside and outside, can be attacked.

And the passages to enter the inside of the city wall are all secret, and the only thing that is open is the teleportation array inside the city wall. Due to the serious shortage of personnel, Lao Jiu had no choice but to transfer 150,000 recruits from the White Tiger Plain as logistics troops inside the city wall.

The former veterans were recruited by Lao Jiu for 50,000 yuan and joined the Imperial City Guard, which was regarded as a reward for the meritorious men who built the Imperial City, and the remaining veterans took the new soldiers to learn the operation inside the city wall and control the bed crossbow.

At the same time, Lao Jiu specially sent people to transport all the grain from the granary of Xiaoyao Lake to the imperial city, and the news spread that when the imperial city wall "Helongkou" was in the city, it was necessary to feast in the city, and all those who were present would eat and drink for free that day.

This is also announcing the completion of the Imperial City, and at the same time there will be important news to be announced. And on the same day, the real estate in the Imperial City will be sold, and players are also welcome to stay in the Imperial City.

As time goes by, the whole imperial city seems to be more and more festive, and a large number of players pour into the imperial city every day, and Lao Jiu is also rare and generous, as long as it is a player, as long as it is a player, you only need to register with your real name, you can stay for free, until the city wall is completely completed.

In this way, it has invisibly attracted a large number of players to come, and the major forces, on the surface, are also full of blessings, and there seems to be nothing unusual, but the people under their respective subordinates are also pouring into the imperial city in an endless stream.
