Volume VIII: War and Peace Chapter 25: Purpose
Don't look at Yu Bin who went to the Silver Pine Forest for a while to do sabotage, and went to Heishi Mountain to dig a pit for a while, either taking the opportunity to do things or borrowing a knife to kill people, relying on his prophetic ability, reaching out everywhere like a lonely hero, and constantly improving his personal strength, but saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, the proceeds of all these adventures will eventually be invested by Yu Bin in the territory!
Because war is the main theme of this world! There is no future for individual heroism! At this point, Yu Bin already had a deep understanding of the bone marrow in his previous life! A lich like Kel'thugad, who has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, has to rely on the Psychic Academy to ensure his status and power!
The continent of Entagre is not the real Earth! There is no warmth here! There are no diplomatic negotiations! There is no non-governmental communication! The only idea between the different races is to knock out each other's brains! Since the creation of this world by the creator God, this way of behavior has been ingrained in the minds of every living being, and it cannot be changed even if it dies!
And the habits developed over tens of thousands of years have also made people in this world subconsciously choose to use force to solve problems when they are faced with them! If you can't solve it by yourself, it's up to the state to solve it! What the state can't solve, it's up to race to solve it! The race still can't be solved, so two camps were born, and they began to rely on faction wars to solve the problem! On top of that, hostile factions must guard against the invasion of the Abyss and the Void at the same time!
Therefore, with the continuous collision of each other through force, often the old problems have not been solved, and new problems have appeared, hatred, interests, resources, population, land, beliefs, etc., etc. In the face of this situation, let alone Yu Bin alone, even if the entire human race of nearly 10 billion people poured into the world of Ntagre, there was no way to change all this, and in the end it could only become a new source of war like in the previous life, and all kinds of new problems broke out, between players and players, between players and NPCs!
When the player's strength is insufficient, the outbreak of these problems can be barely suppressed, everyone supports each other for a common goal, teams up to level up, form a union, build a territory, and compete for power from NPCs, and when the player's strength grows to a certain level, these accumulated problems will explode in a short period of time.
When the experience gained from killing monsters is not enough to support their rapid leveling, they will naturally set their sights on players in the opposing faction!
When their territory needs more resources and more feats to continue to develop, they will naturally set their sights on other players' territories to plunder, kill, and conquer!
Yu Bin can't change these, and he doesn't want to change them. It is precisely because of what players have gone through that when the continent of Entagre merges with the real world, humanity can re-emerge in just a few years, instead of disappearing into the long river of time like an unknown race that has disappeared in the history of the world of Entagre.
But behind all this, there is the price paid by countless losers. The victor steps on the corpse of the loser, absorbs nutrients from their flesh and blood, and then continues to climb up, the lucky one can continue to be the winner, and the unlucky one will become the next loser!
And everything Yu Bin did was to make himself a winner, not the corpse that was trampled under the feet of others!
Just as he made his vow after being born again, he wanted to live! I just want to live! But in this world, the wish of "living" is easy to say, but it is difficult to achieve!
However, now Yu Bin has enough confidence to say that he has survived! So until now, he has maintained the posture of a winner!
"You look absent-minded!" Maltan closed the booklet in his hand, and the booklet bound with elaborate magic paper recorded everything about Naxxramas in detail, whether it was the army, materials, population, architecture, technology, magic, etc., although the situation of the entire territory could be roughly understood through the town core, but to be so detailed, it still required a lot of time and manpower to make statistics, and only Maltan had the time and patience to do this.
"Don't care, it's just something that comes to mind!" Yu Bin waved his hand, "I have a general understanding of the situation in the territory, in addition to what you told me, I also want to know, what is the situation of those guys I asked you to pay special attention to now?" ”
Yu Bin refers to Gather Death Phalanx and Giovanni Entebury and others, as future potential stocks, Yu Bin has invested a lot of expectations in these people, if Rasousvios and others are the pillars that Yu Bin is now using to pick up the beams, then Gather They are the jacks of the future, whether Naxxramas can be proud of the entire player group in the future depends largely on how far these people grow!
Thinking that these future hero-level and even legendary-level combat forces are now his subordinates, Yu Bin has to treat these people carefully!
"Very good!"
"Nice?" For Maltan's understated answer, Yu Bin's face instantly turned bad, "Don't you have anything else to say?" ”
Maltan looked at Yu Bin with empty eyes: "What do you expect me to say?" Have you forgotten that before I inherited the legacy of the Grand Sorcerer Griman, I was nothing more than a lost dog hiding in a dark corner! ”
Yu Bin choked on Maltan's words, showing a look of shame, he forgot that this lich was not Kel'thugad or Navik Frost, and those who relied on long time and profound knowledge and strong strength to promote themselves to the existence of the lich, Maltan is like a noble bastard who was recognized because of the loss of his heir in reality, and he has a huge property without knowing anything, as a former tax officer, it is okay to let Martan, a miser, simply manage the territory, It would be so difficult for him to learn how to distinguish between a person's aptitude and potential.
It's still a lack of accumulation of talents! Yu Bin himself doesn't know how to manage the territory very well, in his previous life, he was a lone wolf, the kind where one person fed the whole family and was not hungry, in terms of the player's personal strength, Yu Bin, who was a high-level player in his previous life, was technically quite good, but in terms of similar territory construction or talent management, it was really a bride on a sedan chair - the first time! So at the beginning, Naxxramas was handed over by Yu Bin to Vidala to manage, as Elvia's adopted daughter, Vidara was able to manage Kodila in an orderly manner, which shows that she is still capable, but unfortunately this dark elf is a loyal believer of Rose, always thinking about betrayal, and finally playing with herself to death. Then Yu Bin chose from his own subordinates, and finally had to pinch his nose and hand over Naxxramas to Martan to manage.
But as long as Yu Bin has a trustworthy talent under his hands, he can't choose this Erwuzai to be the housekeeper, and the grievances between the two can't be said for three days and three nights, God knows if this lich who has lost his power will set him up! This is also Yu Bin's biggest headache now.
"Well, my bad!" Yu Bin didn't want to quarrel with Maltan on this matter, "According to the current situation, the camp war is likely to break out in full force in the near future, I just want to know if Gasher can come in handy in this war!" You know, there's no way to run my army with those who are in charge. ”
The nature of the players determines that they always put their own interests first, if possible, Yu Bin does not want to hand over the family wealth he has saved up with great difficulty to those guys to command, God knows how many soldiers will be lost in a battle.
"It depends on how far you are prepared to go in this war." "If you're just looking to pick up scraps after the army of the undead, find a few blind guys to shake their might, and take some supplies and merit from the small towns of the Order Camp, then I think they're more than capable of the tasks you've given them, and there aren't many small towns that can stand up to your elite troops!" ”
Yu Bin sighed and said, "Are you kidding, Maltan?" If it's just for this benefit, why should I waste my time and energy! Not to mention small cities, even if I build a medium-sized city, I can find the supplies I can loot from it in the warehouses of Naxxramas, and there are more and better! As for the land, do you think I'm going to be stupid enough to go to the Arnas Empire and claim a territory and be a human nobleman? ”
"Then with all due respect, if you want to get more involved in this camp war, I advise you to dispel this idea!" Maltan shook his head, "Ambition with enough strength to support is the real ambition, if not, it is just delusion!" ”
"Is this your experience?"
"You can take this as a lesson learned by a pioneer himself!" Maltan said angrily that he himself had gone to the kingdom of Virgil to take revenge because he had gained the inheritance of the Great Sorcerer, and he had gone to the kingdom of Virgil to take revenge.
Looking at the example in front of him of himself playing to death, Yu Bin's slightly hot head finally calmed down.
"Well, you're right." Yu Bin nodded, "With my current strength, it is indeed not suitable to intervene too deeply in this war." ”
Sensing that Yu Bin seemed to want to give up, Maltan shook his head again: "I think you misunderstood what I meant. I'm not asking you to give up on this faction war completely! ”
"Speak human words!"
"I confess that you have put a great deal of effort into Naxxramas, and this territory is the most promising territory I have ever seen, and I believe that even the high Emperor has a great interest in this God-given land." "But your time is still too short, and you must know that the undead are the least time-sensitive race, and at the same time the most time-dependent race. If the current pace of development continues, in a few decades, I can guarantee that the city will become a major force on the entire continent, but Naxxramas is not right now. Although your army is very elite, it only has a fourth-order soldier at the highest, and there are not many of them, not to mention that such an army is not comparable to the regular legion of the Dia Empire, and even the reserve legion of the Felta Empire, which has the shortest history! Not only is the number too small, but the proportion of low-level soldiers is too large, and there are no high-level soldiers at all, and more seriously, there is a lack of long-range strike force! Especially the two most important pillars of the undead army, the Corpse Witch and the Black Knight, you don't have either! ”
"I know, but it's because there is not enough time for development, and everything in the world has pros and cons."
Maltan nodded: "You're right, these problems I just said, if you look at it from another aspect, can also be considered your advantage!" ”
"Say specifically!" Yu Bin was disgusted by Maltan's pretentious approach, and it seemed that this lich had a rare upper hand in front of him, so he wanted to enjoy this feeling.
"The faction war is not a game, it is the most fierce and cruel collision between the two camps!" Maltan stretched out his finger bones and drew some symbols in mid-air, "No one is stupid enough to throw all their strength into it in such a brutal war, and those who dare to do so will either die long ago or are on the way to death!" Therefore, in the early days of the war, the two camps will often launch large battles on multiple battlefields, but the army invested will not be the main army! ”
Yu Bin was not a fool, and quickly understood what Maltan meant: "You mean that at the beginning of the war, the two sides will use cannon fodder on multiple battlefields?" ”
"Compared to those elite legions, the first batch to go into battle can indeed be regarded as cannon fodder! Of course, even cannon fodder is not comparable to those little miscellaneous fish troops of yours! Maltan said coldly, "Through these preliminary tests, the two sides will confirm the direction of their attack and the ultimate goal of the war, otherwise, do you think that the camp war is just for the two camps to find a place and set up a position to fight?" ”
Yu Bin scratched his head, not to mention, he did think so at first, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, the camp war in his previous life was that the two camps didn't know what to do, and then halfway through the fight, those mongrels who found the bottomless abyss also came to join in the fun, so the two camps immediately put down their weapons and worked together to beat the uninvited abyss demons first.
Seeing Yu Bin's appearance, Maltan was also speechless for his lord: "Your only and best opportunity in this war is to take advantage of the time of temptation between the two sides to pick a suitable battlefield, find a suitable target, and then use the fastest way to show your value, as long as someone thinks that you are worth cultivating and can bring him enough benefits, you and your territory can achieve further development!" Isn't that the purpose of everything you've done up to now? ”
"Well, Maltan, I admit you convinced me!" Yu Bin rubbed his chin, "It looks like I have to find a suitable sacrifice first!" ”
