Chapter 44: War Zone Escalation
Chapter 44. Warzone escalation
Not long after the Scouts of the Brenda Empire entered the cave, a group of soldiers in bright silver armor came out of the cave and entered the jungle in several small groups. Wan Yi noticed that the armor they were wearing had a pair of white wings on their chests, and they should be different from the soldiers before them, so he immediately used the probing technique on them.
Elite soldiers of the Brenda Empire's White Wings Legion
Strength: 28
Dexterity: 23
Intelligence: 19
Ability: Strength of the White Wings (8% increase in strength, 10% increase in agility)
Unknown
Equipment: White Wings Set (Resistance to physical puncture damage is greatly increased, and when activated, movement speed is greatly increased for a short period of time)
Wan Yi was also secretly stunned after seeing the attributes of these soldiers, Wan Yi estimated that two elite soldiers with white wings could be worth a bloody chainmail elite soldier of Grand Duke Locke that he had encountered. And as far as Wan Yi knows, there should be no legions in Kareda City that can compete with the White Wings Legion. Then the Brenda Empire, as an opponent, should not have such an elite legion in the city of the Sunset Grand Canyon, so this Bright White Wings Legion is definitely transferred from somewhere else!
So how did the enemy transfer troops? Are there any other legions coming along? Faced with these two problems, Wan Yi has two choices, one is to choose to continue to observe, and if he is lucky, he may make new discoveries. The second is to immediately rush back and tell Leonard the old city lord the information he saw, and the city of Kareda will analyze the enemy situation by itself.
There is a cloud in the art of war: soldiers are noble and fast. Now that the elite troops of the Brenda Empire are in place, their military operation will inevitably not drag on for too long, and the time of the siege is estimated to be today or tomorrow! Time is running out for Kareda City! Thinking of this, Wan Yi no longer hesitated, and immediately got up and returned to Kareda City.
Wan Yi's way back was not all smooth sailing, and he encountered several batches of patrols of the Brenda Empire one after another on the way. Moreover, Wan Yi was also aware of the distribution of the military strength of the Brenda Empire, and the Brenda Empire arranged to patrol the outskirts of the jungle was just some ordinary soldiers to confuse the enemy. And further down are the elite units of the White Wings, which are used to ensure that the enemies who pass through the blockade are killed! Even, Wan Yi saw a lot of magicians in it!
There were no dangers along the way, and Wan Yi finally walked out of the jungle of the Sunset Grand Canyon smoothly after spending a lot of time, and the sun had completely set down the mountain at this time. Wan Yi also saw people coming out of the jungle from other directions, including players and NPC natives, but their faces were full of gloom and sadness, thinking that it was also because their companions or comrades were attacked and stayed in this sunset canyon forever
After hurriedly returning to Kareda City, Wan Yi immediately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. Twenty minutes later, Wan Yi met the old city lord Leonard who was reading the documents in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and immediately told him the news he had discovered, and also focused on describing the troops with white wings tattooed on the chest of the armor!
Under Wan Yi's narration, the old city lord's face gradually became solemn, and then he sent someone to summon Master Helen and repeat the news that Wan Yi told him. In the end, the old city lord rubbed his brain that was a little swollen and painful, and said his troubles: "This legion called the White Wings is the old legion of the Brenda Empire, and it has achieved remarkable results for decades, but this legion is good at field combat, I don't understand why the Brenda Empire sent to attack the city this time will be the White Wings?" The Brenda Empire should know that the garrison mage of our Kareda City, Mage Helen, is a senior master water mage, and there is also a 500-person water mage army in Kareda City. And the mage resources of the Brenda Empire are far inferior to our Principality of St. Joyce, and their resident mage in the Sunset Grand Canyon is just a fire mage who has just reached the master level, and its mage army is only 200 people. Therefore, how could the Brenda Empire send a legion with high magic resistance! ”
Wan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Then can we boldly guess that the enemy will send other legions over?" In addition to the White Wings Legion, they also sent a siege legion! ”
Mage Helen on the side said, "I would like to find out how the Brenda Empire allowed troops to pass through the Sunset Grand Canyon first, and without our knowledge. ”
Lord Leonard analyzed: "This is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than two situations. The first is that the Brenda Empire dug a passage from the outside world to the Sunset Grand Canyon without our knowledge. In the second case, the Brenda Empire directly discovered a passage to the Grand Canyon of the Sunset. ”
After a pause, he said, "In either case, the Brenda Empire has the ability to directly send a large army to threaten my Kareda City, and I must ask the kingdom for help as soon as possible." And we in Kareda City must prepare for the worst as soon as possible! ”
"Congratulations on partially completing the mission 'Investigate the Sunset Grand Canyon', and you have obtained the B-rank magic book 'Flame Explosion Technique', and a B-rank military merit."
"Congratulations on completing the mission 'Detecting the Enemy', and you have obtained a Rank A military merit."
At the same time, all players in Kareda City also received a war notice from the system.
"System Prompt: The Sunset Grand Canyon battlefield has officially been upgraded to a war zone."
"Lockdown: Players are not allowed to enter the Grand Canyon of the Sunset without permission."
"Mobilization Order: The player's troops must obey the arrangements of the principality's high-level officers, and the losses incurred during this period will be compensated for meritorious service."
"Wartime offline punishment: Players in the war zone will be punished with a reduction in merit after the war starts, and the intensity of the punishment is related to the length of the offline. Going offline for too long will be considered a deserter. ”
"Wartime Game Login Restrictions: Players in the war zone have their personal space temporarily closed, and players will have to wait for two hours after going offline before they can go online again."
In the past few days, there are tens of thousands of players who have entered Kareda City one after another, plus a few ordinary legions resident in Kareda City, Kareda City has nearly 100,000 combat power at this moment! If this group of troops relied on the huge walls of Karida City to defend it, it would not be something that the Brenda Empire could capture in a short time!
Kareda Castle was originally built according to the pattern of a fortress, and its north gate was 20 zhang high and 10 zhang wide. The building materials are mixed with a large number of E-rank clay stones, so they are exceptionally strong. (Note: one zhang is 3.3333333 meters)
As a world with a highly developed sword and sorcery civilization, the New World game has no advantages as the defenders of the city as it did in ancient times on Earth. After all, it is not too difficult for a professional soldier with a general attribute of C rank or above, and it is difficult to damage the enemy if the archer's strength attribute is not enough
Immediately after issuing the war notice, Lord Leonard wrote a letter to the kingdom asking for help, hoping that the kingdom would soon send an elite legion that could rival the Legion of the White Wings to Kareda City. After doing all this, the old city lord let Wan Yi move around the city lord's mansion at will, and then went out with Master Helen to arrange some wartime affairs. Although the old city lord Leonard did not treat Wan Yi as an outsider at all, Wan Yi was embarrassed to stay alone in the city lord's mansion, so he immediately left and left.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wan Yi walked alone on the streets of Kareda. At this time, because of the war announcement, groups of soldiers in armor rushed towards the barracks with neat steps. The shops on the streets have also closed down to prepare for war, and as merchants in the war zone, they are obliged to provide strategic supplies to the military
Wan Yi walked along the road towards the north gate, and the players he saw along the way were full of excitement. On the contrary, the expressions of the indigenous people are full of fortitude, and they have the determination to defend their homeland and the inevitable hesitation of war in their hearts
Wan Yi went against the crowd, slowly climbed the north wall of Kareda City, found a position in the wall and sat down, and then took out a magic book as usual, quietly waiting for the arrival of the war
