Chapter 49: Escalo
Having obtained a piece of the heart of a level 2 city, Yuan Mu no longer wanted to stay in the valley plain, and immediately began to hurry, heading to the Heavenly Fury Canyon.
As for the goblin treasure chest, it was directly put away.
"This is the territory of your original orc lord." Yuan Mu looked at the barbarian creatures around him and asked Tao Snow.
"Yes." Tausno shrugged.
"Why does it look a little lifeless." Yuan Mu found that the morale of the creatures in the orc lord's territory did not seem to be high, especially some troops.
"I guess it was a fiasco from the last war with the human lords. Originally, the orc lord was not popular in the valley plains, and the human mage lord was the mortal enemy of the orc lord, and the human lord next to him was secretly helping the human mage lord. ”
Knight City generally does not directly intervene in the battles between the Great Lords of the Valley Plains, but only mediates appropriately.
"Hey, Tausno, how are you? I thought you were dead. "Not far from the orc lord's main city, Esgalo, a level 3 wolf cavalry elite suddenly discovered Tausno.
Tausno is only a mercenary, and if he escapes after the defeat of the troops, he is not considered a deserter and will not be wanted by the orc lord.
"You're dying so easily, Hansea." Tausno seemed to know him well. When I returned to my hometown, I was also a little emotional.
"I just went out for a few laps and had a couple of adventures along the way. You don't know how wonderful my experience has been during this time, I've seen level 7 and level 8 legendary creatures, and I've fought with their men. ”
"Tao Snow, it seems that you are indeed fine, and you still like to brag so much." Hanseatic knows Tausno very well.
However, this time Tao Snow didn't brag, he did see the level 7 Demon Bird Empress and the level 8 Scoura.
The wolf cavalry Hanseatic also noticed the difference. "Tausno, you've reached level 4."
"Hmm." Tausno wasn't very excited, and after seeing Skulla, he understood that he wasn't strong. Introduced to Hansa, "This is my lord, Yuan Mu. ”
"Hello." Yuan Mu also said hello to Hansa.
"Hello, human. Tausno, you were recruited? Didn't you say you wanted to be a dashing minotaur? Hanseatic was somewhat surprised that Tausno had been recruited by a human hero.
"He's helped me, and he's quite an appetite for me."
"Tao Snow also helped me a lot and solved a lot of troubles for me." Yuan Mu said on the side.
"Well," Hanseatic expressed understanding, "you're welcome back, how long will you stay here?" I can go to the tavern with our old friends for a drink. ”
Tao Snow looked at Yuan Mu.
"Whatever you want, we're not in a hurry at this time." Tao Sino is Yuan Mu's old subordinate, and this bit of face still has to be given.
"Haha, Hansea, I'm going to have a treat for you this time, and I'm going to go to the most expensive 'Boiling Blood' tavern to drink enough."
“…… You're so ruthless. Human heroes, it's best not to cause trouble in Escalo, where many units are hostile to humans. ”
The wolf cavalry elite Hansa and Tausno made an appointment to go to the tavern and left first. Yuan Mu pulled Tao Snow and asked in a low voice: "Tao Snow, can you pull a barbarian army here, I will pay for the recruitment fee, and it will be under your control in the future." ”
Yuan Mu wanted to avoid having to do tasks and spend more money on the trading floor to recruit some subordinates.
Tao Snow's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Yes, people here are panicking now, and with my reputation, it shouldn't be difficult." But you have to get enough gold, and I don't want them to lose morale after recruiting. ”
"No problem, when have I ever treated you badly."
The Orc Lord's city of Escalo is a level 4 city with a very different architectural style from other human cities. Most of the inhabitants of the city are savage creatures, but there are also quite a few humans.
Tao Snow will meet old friends, and Yuan Mu uses the Pretender Mask to change his information and become a level 2/1 hero called the 'Mud Lord'. Check out Esgalo with Flo and Olya, and ask about the player's news by the way.
There is Fu Luo who can't keep a low profile even if she wants to, Yuan Mu is fortunate to have obtained the mask of the Pretender, otherwise he will be discovered at once. If someone guesses that they're coming from the other side of the Skyrim Mountains, there's always going to be some trouble.
Flo noticed this too, and covered it up slightly.
Maybe it's because the player's strength has increased a bit, and there are more players in cities like Esgallo, which are located on the edge of the valley plains. Yuan Mu found a tavern where the task was issued, and there were indeed several players in it.
The players are discussing rumors about the Plains of the Valley.
"Have you heard? The Night of Mourning is on this continent, in the forest of wisdom to the south. ”
"Of course I heard about it, I'm so lucky!"
"I originally wanted to go to the Wisdom Forest, but then there were rumors that few people had seen her, and I don't know if it was true."
"It should be true, it's all over the place."
"Whether it's true or not, I want to stay in the valley plains to develop, this place is more suitable for the human race, and the wisdom forest is a natural creature. Hehe, it's better for you to go, I've got one less competitor here. ”
"Come on, the valleys are the same with us or without us. There are already several people who have developed far beyond the average player like us. ”
"Which ones are there? I've been growing around the neighborhood and I've heard that there are a few great people in Knight City. You're coming from near Knight's City, tell me about it. ”
The player from near Knight's City took a slow sip of his wine, and it seemed that storytellers liked to sell guanzi. Seeing that several other players were seriously waiting for him to speak, he said with satisfaction:
"There is no doubt that there are three people who are the most prominent in the valley plains right now."
"Which three?" Someone next to him answered at the right time.
"The first one is one named Yuan Mu. I don't know where he came from or where he's gone, he only stayed in Knight's City for a short time. When other people's main forces are all level 2 troops, his main forces are all level 3 troops, and there are many level 4 troops. ”
"The first level 4 elite of the Valley Plains, a minotaur, was also recruited by him. Not only that, but he is best known for the fact that he destroyed the Conqueror's Banner Guild by himself, and it was a union! ”
Flo heard them talking about Yuan Mu and looked at him with a grin. Yuan Mu also smiled at Flora, he didn't expect the matter to come out so quickly.
Everyone else couldn't believe that their current main class had just reached level 2.
"You're not joking, there are so many people in the union, so many troops, rushing up together and destroying him."
"Hmph, what am I lying to you for. Moreover, Yuan Muke did not use any other strategy, but led his subordinates to fight the conqueror banner head-on, which was all passed on by the members of the disbanded conqueror banner union. Because of this incident, many players have changed their minds and want to get high-level troops instead of numbers. ”
Several players next to him were digesting the news, and it took a while for someone to ask, "Who is the second person?" ”
"The second is Ember Flash, the creator of Camp Traveler. You may not have heard of him, but he's already known for himself in Knights' City. ”
"I've heard of Voyager Camp, it's an organization that communicates between our players."
"Yes, Ember Flash is the main creator of the Traveler's Camp, and Ember recruited a hero before I came out of Knights' City."
"Wow! Recruiting heroes so quickly, I've just recruited the second elite. ”
"If you want, you can go to the Traveler's Camp, where there's a lot of information about missions, classes, classes, and more. I heard that Ember Flash is preparing to form a union, called Traveler's House. However, he promised that the Traveler Camp would remain open to regular players as before, with no additional restrictions. ”
Yuan Mu guessed at the beginning that there was an ember flash among the three people, after all, he was too famous, and Yuan Mu had a good impression of him, but he couldn't guess who the third person was.
"What about the third?" Someone asked for Yuan Mu.
"The third one seems to be a 'godfather,' and few people have heard of him before. He got a piece of territory! A level 1 village! The Plains of the Valley, no, may be the first territory a player has ever acquired on this continent. ”
--------------------------------------------
Back at the camp with Flooria, Yuan Mu finds the merchant Ed.
Yuan Mu originally thought that with the distribution of power in the valley plains, it would be difficult for players to obtain territories, because these villages were supported by the lord behind them or protected by the knight city.
The player named 'The Godfather' doesn't know how to get a village. Since he can, others naturally have a way, which makes Yuan Mu nervous.
Moreover, Yuan Mu remembered that the 'Godfather' was a member of the 'Plane Legion' trade union, and now it seems that the Plane Legion may not have given up on the Valley Plains. With this old union's style of doing things, maybe they have already arranged in the shadows.
"Ed, do you want to go through the Windfury Canyon to the Ancestral Forest? There aren't so many humans and cities over there. ”
"Listen to your lordship."
"I want you to stay in the Plains of the Valley, right here in Glenn. I'll give you a sum of gold and some guards, and you'll be doing business here to find out the news, especially the news of the Chosen Hero. Be careful not to be found out, though, there are a few people in Knight City who know that you have been recruited by me. I'll be back from the Forest of the Ancestors soon. ”
"Yes, my lord, I'll be ready for your lordship here." Ed still preferred to stay in the valley plains.
The Night Elf Cloak can only take one squadron of troops through the Wind Fury Canyon at a time, and the demon birds in the canyon can't be cleaned up in a short time.
In order to be able to extend his tentacles into the valley plain faster in the future and intervene in the tasks and wars of the valley plain, it is necessary for Yuan Mu to plant nails in the valley plain in advance.
Ed is a good choice, he was originally a small businessman in Glenn City, and Yuan Mu didn't have a better candidate in his hands. This is also one of the advantages of the union, which can have the right person to do something special in the early stage.
Compared with the valley plain, the Ancestral Forest has fewer cities, fewer quests, and a smaller population, which is not conducive to the development of players in the early stage. But after gaining the territory, this is another advantage, and there are few competing forces, which can allow the city to expand rapidly.
Although the 'Godfather' has acquired a village in the valley plains, it is surrounded by other lords, and the village may not be easy to develop. Of course, gaining a territory is a big boost to your own strength.
By the time the player's strength can take on the city and compete with the lords of the valley plains, the valley plains will have an advantage over the ancestral forests.
After a long period of development, the valley plain has built a lot of cities and buildings, with many resources, heroes, and troops. Moreover, the Valley Plain is also the center of the eastern part of the continent, and if you want to continue to dominate the rest of the continent, it is necessary to use the Valley Plain as a springboard.
This is not comparable to the Ancestral Forest, which is separated by the Skyrim Mountains and sits in the eastern corner.
Very late, Tausno returned.
"Have fun?" Yuan Mu was discussing with the others about passing through the Heavenly Fury Canyon and what might happen to him.
"Of course, the Boiling Blood Tavern has been occupied by us, and Taosno's friends can't fit in a tavern." As soon as Tausno came in, he blew the air.
"We'll pass through the Skywrath Canyon tomorrow night, you can go and rest now and get ready to go tomorrow." Yuan Mu felt that Tao Sino was a little unstable.
"It's okay, ha, how can those bunnies drink me, yawn, and finally I drank so much that they promised to give the boss a free order."
Yuan Mu looked at him helplessly, now Tao Sino has no reliable appearance.
"I've got you a troop, yawn, and they're all vying to join me, too." With that, Tausno fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Everyone around him looked at him with a smile, thinking about making fun of him with this in the future. Flo giggled even more recklessly.
Yuan Mu had no choice but to say to Erqiang: "You ask Zack to drag him to the room to have a good rest." ”
Tao Snow is not reliable in speaking, but he is still very reliable in doing things. The next day, when Yuan Mu was about to leave Escalo, Tao Snow came over with a troop.
This unit has more than two squads, and the quality is also very high, and it is a friend of Taosno's former mercenary work. There are quite a few units at level 3, among which there are many elite units, and there is also an elite, who is an old orc.
Name: Red? Stone Knife (Orc)
Template: Elite (White)
Level: Level 3
Class: Orc Warrior
Talents: None
Skills: Adventure Guidance (can teach beginner adventurers some adventure knowledge), Adventure Quest Management (can be published in the quest hall or tavern, accept quests, issue quest rewards, etc.), Brewing (Level 1), 、......。
"Elder Red is a staff member of the Boiling Blood Tavern, and in his youth he was a famous adventurer. The Orc Lord was defeated, and the valley plains were full of humans, so he wanted to move with his family to a safer place. ”
Reed? Behind the stone knife there was also a female orc and two small orcs.
Reed? Shi Dao said: "I heard Tao Snow say that your territory is in a safe place, I believe Tao Snow, I have known him for a long time. Others also believe that Tausno came. ”
This kind of special talent is very useful for the level 3 city that is about to be established. It seems that Tao Snow is indeed famous here.
Yuan Mu nodded and said to him, "Tao Snow is right. Then he said to the others: "If Tausno advances to the rank of hero, you will become his subordinates if you wish." Until then, I won't treat you casually. ”
"Hello, my lord." Red and the other savage creatures accepted Yuan Mu's recruitment.
Yuan Mu left two squads of guards for Ed, both of which were purchased on the trading floor on the road. After leaving Yuan Mu, they have no heroic management and may not listen to Ed's orders.
In order to prevent this, Yuan Mu left some more gold coins for Ed, and distributing gold coins to his subordinates can also boost morale.
The little phoenix wanted to take a flock of small firebirds, so Yuan Mu had to stuff them into a special carriage.
He recalls that he had just arrived in the valley plains, and that he had only taken Tausno, Ursa, Deria, and Urkan with him. There are not many gold coin resources, and they have to be left for the development of silt villages.
Now there are more Blood Moon, Thor, Second Strong, Little Phoenix, Oliya, Red? Elites such as stone knives, shield warriors, and cooks, as well as the hero Flo.
The subordinates are almost full, and there are also powerful troops such as the Holy Hammer Warriors. There are a lot of gold resources on his body, a few more treasures, and more precious architectural drawings and two city hearts.
Yuan Mu was very satisfied with the harvest he had come to the valley plains, and it was time to go back and surprise Amelia.
