Since it is a semi-open city, it is impossible for the guild headquarters of the Beast Alliance to be too hidden, and there is still a very wide road to the outside of the city, but because of the terrain, this road is quite complicated. The road starts out between two hills, and it feels like it's built along an abandoned river. After walking a short distance, there was a sudden sharp turn and began to climb upward, and then there was a left turn and a right turn on the winding road, which was really complicated enough. After finally reaching the top of the mountain, we were all stupid.

"Damn, I said, why does Ashford have to help us attack the city?"

Christina looked left and right as she said, "Except for our guild, there are probably few guilds that have the ability to launch an attack on such a city. ”

Lasana nodded in agreement. "But I think it's a good place. President, how about we build a base here ourselves when we take this place? ”

"That depends on the situation, and the specific decision depends on Ashford's appearance. If he likes the place too, we can trade it for something more valuable. After all, this is Germany, and it is not worth us to build too many bases here, as long as we ensure that one base is stored. ”

To be honest, I really liked the environment of this place, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that anyone would build a city in such a place. The city is located in what resembles a giant volcanic crater. There are mountains in the circle, and in the middle is a huge basin. But there's a very peculiar terrain here. That is, in the center of this crater-like basin, there is actually a towering platform, and the headquarters of the beast alliance is built on this platform.

The rocky platform where the Beast Alliance's headquarters was located was at the same level as where we were standing now, it was not higher than the surrounding peaks, but it was in the center of a large basin, which formed a huge canyon between it and the surrounding mountains. It was this natural barrier that guided Ashford, and although he was confident that his guild would be stronger than the Beast Alliance, he still didn't dare to attack it. Once the Beast Alliance finds that they can't defend it, as long as they blow up the kilometer-long chain bridge in front of us, no one can attack each other from such a distance except for the artillery on both sides, and even if there is an artillery battle, they will win, and the reason is very simple. The other party is a city, and there will definitely be no shortage of artillery. But the attacker is in trouble, and there is definitely no way to amplify the cannon in the outer canyon. The outside of the crater is blocked by mountains and forests, and there is no suitable angle for firing at all, but the top of the mountain is so wide that there is no place to put a few cannons. The enemy has been living here for a long time, and the artillery can set all the coordinates of the position that could allow the enemy to enlarge the cannon in advance, but the attacker has no place for the artillery to deploy. There is also a lack of understanding of the wind direction and other conditions here, and once the artillery battle begins, the number and accuracy are inferior to the other side, and unless a miracle occurs, it is impossible to attack it anyway.

Although the special geographical environment of this city has created such a superior condition that is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack, for Isenger their advantage is completely equivalent to not existing. In terms of artillery fire, Isenger himself is a forward fortress-type city. In the case of artillery battles, you will definitely not lose to this fortress that can only be regarded as a medium and large city. In terms of troops, most of Issinger's troops were air cavalry. The moat in the eyes of others can be completely ignored by us, or we can simply parachute directly, with the carrying capacity of Isenger, as long as there are enough troops, even tens of millions of troops are not impossible to parachute at a time.

I looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "It seems that only our guild is suitable for dealing with the headquarters of this beast alliance, and I won't help if Ashuford doesn't let some blood this time." ”

Christina looked at me strangely, "Didn't you already promise Ashford?" ”

"When did I say yes?"

"Then you're still taking us out and hanging around?"

Lasana is much calmer than Christina. She grabbed Christina and said, "You listen to the president first, don't be so anxious, okay?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's better for Lasana to be sensible." Christina, you need to learn more. This time, I didn't decide how to help Ashuford, so I had to check it out first. The purpose of this inspection was twofold, the first of which was my main purpose, and that was to assess the defensive character of the place, and to see how Ashford relied on us. If this is just an ordinary city, and Ashford is only asking us to help for the purpose of reducing losses, then we can't ask too much. But now it seems that the situation is obviously not like that, this is not a matter of Ashford for cost savings, this place is simply not accessible to anyone except us, so we can completely open the price a little higher. ”

Christina nodded and said, "No wonder Walmart has always said that you are a profiteer, and I now understand why!" ”

Lasana was holding back a smile next to me, and I could only shake my head helplessly. "Okay, now go into the city and take a look at the situation, I really want to know what defenses there are in this place, it's best for me to see the nineteen demonic beasts, there is an intuitive number, and the battle will be relatively easy."

"yes, let's go in and investigate."

The only entrance to the city was the chain bridge that connected the mountain road, and the one-kilometre-long chain bridge was blessed with permanent flotation, otherwise the bridge would have broken if it could not withstand the tension. Another reason is that the wind here is very strong, and if you don't use the levitation technique, the bridge will definitely be like a swing, and you won't be able to walk at all. However, the levitation technique only relieves the effect of the wind, not completely eliminates it, and it still feels like walking on it.

There were quite a few people on the wide bridge deck, most of them from the guild, all wearing their guild's beast head badges. All three of us used special costumes to cover the badges, so we didn't have to worry about others finding out that we were from the Frost Rose Alliance. However, the badge is blocked, but our faces cannot be covered, and the result is that we are noticed by pedestrians all the way. Needless to say, Christina and Lasana are also very beautiful, and the three of them naturally have a high return rate when they walk together, although I feel very awkward, but I still have to endure it, it's all the damn Ashford's fault, and I want to blame him for this when I go back.

Across the suspension bridge is the city gate, a place designed with a lot of ideas. The gate of the city is the mouth of a wild beast with its mouth open and roaring, and the drawbridge is directly connected to the mouth of the stone beast, so we can enter the city directly through the throat of the giant beast.

The city is very ordinary. However, there are a lot of sculptures of Warcraft, and they are almost everywhere. The people of the city are bustling and seem to be bustling, but these people all seem to be running towards the city center, and seeing them burning their eyebrows one by one, there must be something very important happening in front of them.

Lasana also noticed the situation of passers-by. "President, something seems to be happening ahead!"

"I see."

Christina said, "Then do you see that all the people running over there are laymen?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Look at the badge! None of the people in the Beast Alliance seemed to react, but all the people who rushed there were people from the Laymen's Guild. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I think I probably know what's going on." ”

"What's the matter?" Christina looked at me curiously.

"It must be the sale of Warcraft, maybe it's an exhibition, maybe it's an auction."

"How do you know?"

"It's easy!" I explained: "The fact that the people of this guild do not participate in the explanation is not an internal activity, but the external activities of a guild other than war can I think of commercial activities, the beast alliance made a fortune with Warcraft, what does it sell if it doesn't sell Warcraft?" ”

"That's a possibility, but ah......!" Christina was in the middle of her sentence when she was knocked down.

The guy who hit someone hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry." ”

"Be careful when you walk!" Christina glared at the man angrily.

The guy who hit Christina was a young knight, but to my surprise it was black. It's normal to see blacks in the United States, but it's rarer in Germany. This guy rubbed his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry to participate in the strongest Warcraft auction, I'm really sorry." ”

Seeing that the guy was in a hurry to run, I immediately said to him: "It just so happens that we are also going, and we don't know the way, as an apology, it's okay for you to help us lead the way, right?" ”

"Of course." The black knight immediately nodded and led us forward, but the guy looked really anxious. It's almost a stretch of walking and running along the way. I guess if he hadn't thought we were weak girls, we would have run as we did when we bumped into Christina.

There was a person who knew the way to lead the way, and we soon arrived at the place where everyone gathered, which was a small square, small in area, but crowded with people. In the center of this square is a high rock platform like a flower bed, and a space door stands on the platform. A large crowd of players is pouring into the gate, and at the west entrance there are four guard-like men who charge a special sign for those who enter. Because the star pupil can be used as a telescope, I can see that the people handed over a sign with a special pattern, which looked like an admission permit or something like that. I observed it myself and found that it didn't seem to be needed by everyone, and it seemed that a team only needed one piece.

The three of us didn't have a sign, but the black man obviously had this thing, and it was necessary to go in to find out what was going on in the space door, so we had to find a way to get in. As the black man peered through the space door, I took Christina and Razana aside and whispered. Both of them were very clever and understood what I meant right away.

We squeezed back to the black man, who was still looking, not noticing our conversation. Christina suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the admission card is gone!" ”

"Ah, wouldn't it? You look for it again. Rasana immediately shouted in response.

I looked for the two of them for a while before I said, "Didn't you hold it in your hand when you were hit just now?" You didn't pay attention when you flew out, right? ”

"Definitely, yes!" Christina puffed and slapped the black man. "It's all your fault, you knocked me off the sign just now! It's definitely too late to go back and look for it now. You should accompany us with your sign. ”

The black man reluctantly apologized again, but it was obvious that he was unwilling to hand over the sign. I immediately came up and played the round. "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, there is no limit to the number of people on this license card, this gentleman, you just say that the four of us are together, so we can share it."

The black man felt that he was at a loss, and of course he immediately agreed to this solution, and it was no loss to him anyway. It's so easy to get an admission permit with a simple little trick! The other party's security work is really bad!

I was thinking about it, when Christina suddenly deliberately pretended to complain: "It's really redundant for the beast alliance to send this thing, this brand can be forged if people want to, and it has no effect at all." We have to get into trouble with such a thing. ”

The black man immediately said: "Actually, the Beast Alliance issued this brand this time because they don't want the rival guilds to mix in to buy powerful demonic beasts, and the people who get the brand definitely don't want others to buy it, so they will definitely not disclose the news of this auction to others." Issuing a sign is equivalent to an invitation, and it is not really used to identify yourself. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been that simple. It seems that you should be native Germans, and you should know that the Iron Cross and the Beast Alliance have been fighting for territory recently, but in fact, the Beast Alliance is just afraid that the Iron Cross people will come to buy their super monsters. Generally, whether the guild has a brand or not actually means much. ”

After working on it for a long time, there were still these mysteries in it, and after I understood the truth of the matter, I quickly changed the topic and said, "Sir, which country are you from?" ”

"Don't sir, you Europeans are trouble. I am from the tribe of Tutuka, and you may call me Zuma. We often fight wars over there, and we don't have the name of the country, we call it today and fight it tomorrow, and the name of the country changes twice in three days, and I don't bother to remember it! ”

Dizzy! I heard that there are such war-torn areas in Africa and South America. A few dozen people are an armed force, and they will be the president in shifts for three days. I didn't expect to meet someone from that kind of place.

Christina asked, "What kind of monster are you going to buy this time?" ”

Zuma said: "I haven't seen any magical beasts yet, I'm not sure for the time being. But I'm representing a small guild, and I don't have much money to buy high-end goods, so I'll go in and talk about it later! However, I still want to see the super-grade demonic beasts secretly sent by the Dark Temple. ”

"Special Demonic Beast?" I feigned surprise and asked, "Why haven't we heard from us?" ”

Zuma said naturally: "This is the secret passage this time, your guild may not have much to do with the Beast Alliance, so they didn't inform it, this time the guild that came was chosen by the Beast Alliance, and the hostile forces were all excluded." I've only heard about those super-grade demonic beasts. I haven't seen anything yet, but it shouldn't be garbage. Aren't the seven main battle monsters that the Beast Alliance itself is using secretly smuggled out of the Dark Temple? It seems that this time the goods are very expensive, and they can't eat them themselves, so they called us to share it. ”

I smiled and said, "Our guild still has a little money, if only we could buy a super-grade demonic beast." ”

"What? You're eyeing the special grade, huh? Zuma was surprised and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Come with me. ”

We didn't know what was going on, but we followed him forward. Zuma, this guy is very muscular, and he made a way through the crowd to get us to the door. The people around us were all looking at us angrily, but Zuma waved a sign and shouted at the four people at the portal: "Big family, big family!" ”

As soon as Zuma shouted like this, the people around him immediately swiped and automatically made a way, and we walked to the portal very smoothly, and one of the four guards took us into the portal and led us into the portal to show us the way. Those who want to buy super-grade Warcraft for a long time are considered big households, and they can enjoy the VIP channel! I said why is Kurt Zouma so excited! Now he's coming in with us!

After entering the space gate, I found that this side was a huge grassland, and there was no end in sight. There are a large number of iron cages around us, and in each cage is a demonic beast. The NPC doorman said to us: "This is a low-level Warcraft area, the locks of the cages are marked with the basic information and price of Warcraft, you can come back here and choose your favorite ones before the official auction starts." There is also a place to sell demon pet eggs directly, and you can also buy and sell them freely, and in a while we will be crossing the field of intermediate combat creatures. ”

We followed the doorman all the way, and soon a strange area appeared in front of us. Deep trenches have been dug into the ground, each with a row of cages that are still inhabited by various creatures. The size of these ditches is different, some ditches are large and some are small, but the cage volume in the same ditch is the same, but the types of monsters are not the same. Walking on the ridge between this ditch and the ditch, you can see the monster below from the top of the cage, which is convenient for supporters to choose to buy.

After crossing this ravine-crisscrossed area, the next lot is exaggerated, and this side is separated by a wall. The doorman said that the areas of the low-level and mid-level demonic beasts just now can be seen at will, and the high-level area here is that only those who participate in the auction can enter. The doorman sent us through the gate on this wall, and after passing through it, En gave one of us a ribbon with a special pattern to tie to our left arm as a symbol of the family, and this thing could be used to move between several districts at will.

The doorman who brought us in at the beginning left and returned to the outside, and a beautiful NPC came back inside and began to greet us, and under her guidance we began to tour the situation. The area behind the wall was obviously much more luxurious, with beautiful rock floors on the ground, and the large pits on the ground were not cages, but areas sealed off by magical confinement.

Although the monsters here are still placed in the pit, the pit here is not a long strip, but a square. There is usually only one Demonic Beast in a pit, or several Demonic Beasts of the same kind that can coexist. Compared with the pit in front, the pit on this side is relatively much larger, and the monsters inside know at a glance that they are not ordinary. Some of those monsters lay on the ground and did not move, while others hatefully looked at every player who observed them, and sometimes even attacked the edge of the magical confinement area fiercely, and some of the more powerful ones even shook the confinement area that could be smashed.

The NPC in charge of the reception, Xiao MM, told us that these monsters cannot be purchased for the time being, and the auction can only start when everyone arrives for a while. There is also a huge Colosseum-like building in front of us, which is said to be auctioned in a moment, and those special monsters will not be officially visible to everyone until then.

After the introduction, Xiao mm will let us browse at will by ourselves, or buy some low-level and mid-level Warcraft first, and when the auction begins, a notification will be broadcast to enter the auction room. After that little mm left, Zuma couldn't wait to leave us and ran to buy low-level Warcraft, after all, he came to buy these low-level Warcraft, just look at the high-end goods, he can't afford it.

I walked out with Christina and Lasana, and Lasana said: "I heard them say that even the Beast Alliance's own main battle Warcraft-level Warcraft is taken out and sold, this is not a matter of money at all, is selling this kind of high-grade Warcraft purely to make trouble for yourself!" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you pay attention to what they said?" The beast alliance's things were smuggled out of the Dark Temple, and it seems that they are supported by the forces behind them. My guess is that it is likely that the beast alliance is not the direct seller, they may only be responsible for the middle link of the sale, and the beneficiary is not them. This explains why they should try not to sell with the strongest force, and the reason why they sell is because they can't decide whether to sell or not. And do you remember the information just now? The beast alliance's own Warcraft was also bought. If they are sellers themselves, how can they still buy from themselves? ”
