Chapter 67: The Debt Collector
Watching us shake hands with Aisha, the Guild's elite knights whispered in the back.
Knight Armor sighed, "Alas...... Why are the presidents and their wives so adulterous? said that it was to buy technology for 7 million, but in the end it was only given to some horses, and it was not a penny out of horizontal and vertical! β
Knight B asked suspiciously, "But aren't we going to have Pegasus back?" β
"What do you know? Any idea what's trending lately? β
"What's popular?"
"Popular stallions. You weren't in charge of keeping horses, so you don't know. Pegasi is simply the god of stallions, and its fecundity is absolutely terrifying. Seven million can only buy 7,000 Pegasus, according to the fertility of Pegasus and the number of Pegasus in our guild, as long as you don't control their breeding, you can make up enough in two days! β
"Damn, aren't they very dark?"
"Damn, you're new here? The president and his wife are both demons, and this is already a well-known thing for passers-by! β
"Ahh Rose and I suddenly sneeze at the same time. "Strange, why did you catch a cold together? Is someone speaking ill of us? Rose and I turned our heads to look behind us at the same time, and the knights behind shivered together when they saw the cold light in the corners of our eyes, and they were still muttering in their hearts: "Sure enough, it's the legendary demon couple, what a terrible intuition!" β
"So give us back our ore first?"
"Okay."
After the agreement was reached, things went very smoothly for us, and Aisha probably also considered that it would be easy for the white night to be angry in our guild in the future. So he deliberately cooperated with us to prevent Bai Ye from being a bad person. We didn't intend to bully people ourselves, but the two sides became very harmonious under the deliberate soothing. Having just completed the contents of the various trading regulations, Rose actually recommended our guild's urban construction team to contract the urban reconstruction work of the ISA League. Like this, I demolished other people's cities and asked people to spend money to hire their own construction team to rebuild the city, we are probably the first, anyway, I think it's weird, but Rose is very adaptable, and also got a pretty good contract price, I really admire her business skills!
While Rose was here to settle the follow-up questions, I directly chose to send back to Isinger, and then went offline. Jian Fan and the three of them should have almost adapted to their new bodies.
"Boss, are you back?" Wen Rui screamed as soon as she saw me.
"Boss? Who told you to call me that? β
"That's what the club usually calls you!"
"But it's not a game, so it's better not to call the boss here. Otherwise, people who don't know will still think that we are in the underworld! β
Cao En smiled and said, "How can we be as powerful as the underworld." β
"That's right." Jian Fan held it casually, and a dumbbell floated by itself. "This superpower-like technology is just amazing."
I frowned and looked at the three of them for a while, then beckoned the three of them to sit on the chairs on the floor of the rest area, and finally stood in front of them and said seriously: "Maybe it's because I left in the middle, but your cousin does disappoint me a little." β
Listening to my tone, it seemed that I was going to criticize people, and Jian Fan's smile was retracted.
"Do you know what you're capable of?"
Cao En originally wanted to say that he understood, but when he looked at my expression, he quickly changed it to not understanding.
"If you don't understand, listen to me. Your ability looks like a superpower, and it can indeed be considered a superpower by the general definition, but the root of this superpower is magnetic control. Do you know how much energy it takes to lift an object with this ability? β
The three of them shook their heads together.
"Thirteen points six times. This is the exact number we calculated. Other words. For the same dumbbell, the difference between lifting it with your own hand and lifting it with a magnetic field is as high as 13.6 times the difference in energy consumed. The body temperature of our dragon clan itself is a bit higher than that of humans, and although you are now using three generations of bodies, so the overheating problem has been solved, but the energy consumption is still very high. Under normal circumstances, we would need to expend twice as much energy as humans to maintain normal life characteristics, and in battle we can consume the energy used by a human for a week. Compare the two and you can see how much energy we consume. As you may already know, dragons eat a lot of food, which is also a collateral reaction of insufficient metabolic skills, but you should at least know the importance of saving. β
Wen Rui asked in a low voice, "You mean it's best for us not to use superpowers?" β
I nodded. "If you can do it with your own hands, you should never use special abilities, because that will increase your energy consumption by a factor of ten. Although our blood contains more energy than human blood, our average energy supplement interval is only one month, which means that if we do not replenish energy for more than a month, we will starve to death. "I took out an energy booster and showed them it." This is the emergency energy solution we use, which can be used in three minutes using intravenous injection, and each can support energy for half an hour of high-intensity combat, or a month of normal life. But we don't usually like to use these things. It's still mainly about eating, after all, you can also enjoy the food by the way. β
Wen Rui said with a smile: "Hehe, eating not to be fat is the dream of most girls." β
I continued: "It's nothing for you to be in the base now, but you're going to be sent on an expedition in the future, so replenishment of energy is a problem. What if there is no suitable energy replenishment? So you have to get into the habit of saving energy now, so that you can survive longer in dangerous and complex environments. β
Jian Fan nodded: "I understand what you mean, but we still need to exercise these special abilities now?" "I didn't say that you weren't allowed to train, but it's better not to use it if you don't need it. Don't even use electromagnetic control to manipulate the tea and pour water, then it will be troublesome! "Seeing that all three of them accepted my statement, I didn't continue to say them." Okay, now let's see how successful you are training. β
"What do you want to see first?" Jian Fan asked excitedly. It seems that he has long wanted to show his results. I've embodied this sentiment before, like a child who suddenly gets a favorite toy and rushes to show it off to his friends.
I thought for a moment and said, "Although our bodies are thousands of times larger than those of humans, I don't recommend blindly pursuing ** fighting, so the most important thing is still to use weapons." Let me see your shooting abilities first. β
"Okay."
We found a shooting area in the training area and started checking their shooting ability, and the results were quite satisfactory. The three Chinese Rui have the slowest shooting speed. But the hit rate is almost the same for all three. The error of fixing the target within the effective range of the gun is within one millimeter. That is to say, the gun is ten rings. After activating the crosswind and thermal convection system in the shooting field, the accuracy of the shot was still as high as 999.9 per thousand, and it could almost be regarded as error-free shooting. The shooting rate of moving targets in complex conditions is slightly lower. But it is still more than 999 per thousand, and it can be used for dynamic target capture in a two-way motion state, among which Jian Fan can even hit two targets in irregular flight with one shot, which is a little surprising to me.
"It seems that your shooting ability is very good, so let me see your fighting ability." I took them to the special training room, then pointed to a pile of steel bars and asked them, "Can you kick it off?" β
"Huh? So fine? Jian Fan looked at the steel bar and hesitated.
I walked over to the pile of rebar, picked it up, handed it to the three of them, and then turned around and pulled a few meters away from them. "One by one."
The three men looked at each other, then lifted a steel bar at the same time and threw it over. The moment the steel bar flew in front of me, I suddenly jumped up and kicked in the air, only to hear a thumb-thick steel bar break in two in the middle. After the fractured ground steel bar ejected, it was deeply rooted in the ground. Jian Fan immediately ran up and looked at my legs in surprise. "Aren't you in pain?"
"I knew you were worried about that." I rolled up my trouser leg to show them, and there was no trace of it. "Although you have obtained the body of the dragon race, your mind is still stuck in the human stage, you are afraid of injury, you are afraid of pain, and you dare not try the limit that you could not reach before, but you don't know that it is no longer your limit."
"What the words say. But isn't this something that can be overcome in a while? β
"That's why I want you to practice. For human beings, the result of kicking the steel bar can only be to kick and break their legs, but your bones are heavy alloys, and the steel bar is like the difference between sand and iron wood compared to your bones, not to mention that the bones that wrap this layer of bones are biochemical muscles comparable to steel, even with muscle strength alone, the steel bar can be bent lightly, and kicking it off only requires the control of speed. But for us dragons, precision is not a trouble, you just have to think about it, and the specific operation can be completely handed over to the electronic chip in the head. Precise control is done by an incomparably precise electronic chip, macroscopic thinking is handled by a biological computer that is known for logical calculations, and a so-called moral autonomic nervous system that you have inherited from individual humans. This is the dragon trinity control center, which was designed by the dragon when it was finalized, so the problem that is complicated for humans is not a problem in front of you at all. β
"Really? Why don't we feel it? Cao En asked.
"Because the integration is still going on, it is impossible to completely penetrate it without three or five months, but you can already use it, if you don't believe it, look at this." I wrote on the ground with a steel bar that multiplied three ten-digit numbers, and then turned around and asked them, "You should know the answer when you see it, I don't think you had the ability to do the math before, right?" β
Cao En said in surprise: "Yes! I used to be very slow at arithmetic, but I didn't expect to know the answer at a glance now. β
Wen Rui said smartly: "If the electronic chip in our head can really think synchronously with us, I think we can mentally calculate the result even if there is an astronomical calculation problem." β
I nodded, "You can do a small amount of astronomical calculations with ease. But the real astronomical calculations are still not affordable by your electronic chips, and I just tell you that your body is no longer the same as before. All right. Now try kicking a rebar. β
When Jian Fan heard my words, they all started to throw a steel bar and kicked it themselves, but the result was that they all kicked the steel bar out of the air, don't say anything. Didn't even bend.
"You're still worried about getting hurt. It's a self-preservation instinct that will take some time to overcome. You can consider imagining that what you are looking for is a newspaper roll in front of you, and you can try more. What you want to break through is nothing more than a psychological barrier, and as long as you break through, you can greatly improve your combat effectiveness. β
"Okay, we get it."
Under my guidance, the three of them began to intensify their training on how to break through their psychological bottom line. Among them, the stupidest Cao En is the fastest. People say that stupid people have no heart and no lungs, but at this time, such people are more open-minded. People who don't know the rules are not easy to be restricted by the rules, and smart people know that people are constantly kicking steel bars, so the mental obstacles are much stricter than stupid people.
It's going to take a while to see them train, so I'm just going to let them practice on their own, and then go online again. Rose's side is very efficient, and the affairs of the Aisha League have basically been dealt with, and all the magic crystals have been shipped back. When I went online, I saw the eagle running towards the conference room, so I quickly followed.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Purple Sun? I was going to have someone call you. β
"What's the matter?"
"Doesn't the earth monument you moved back show the most important thing to us?"
"That's right. Does that show something on it? β
"Of course. Speaking of which, it's really useful for you to move back in, and you can let us know in advance about anything that threats. In this way, many threats are not considered threats, and even if some are unavoidable, at least we can have a lot more time to prepare. β
"You still haven't told me what happened this time?"
"It's not a new problem, it's still the joint attack that Nobunaga planned last time."
"Has anything changed?" I asked, surprised.
"It's not a big change, but it's annoying."
"Hate?"
"Well, those damn bastards have contacted the Indonesian side for a Jedi counteroffensive to reclaim the Indonesian territory we occupy."
"Indonesia?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Did Ghost Nobunaga get the door panel caught in his head? Indonesia? Hahahaha......! β
"What are you laughing at?"
"Huh? You don't understand? I looked at the eagle in amazement.
The eagle scratched his head helplessly. I'm not you guys with bad stomachs. Tell me, what the hell is going on here? β
"I don't understand this?" I explained: "Indonesia was indeed destroyed by us, but the land was later sold, which means that this place is now owned by the United Nations, and you have a piece and I have a piece, and we just built the teleportation array here, and then it became a transportation hub between countries." Do you think? How profitable can the world's material transfer stations be? Such a big piece of cake makes these countries with vested interests spit it out, who will do it? Not to mention that the Japanese incite the Indonesians, even if the United States and China incite together, I guarantee that this place will be absolutely monolithic. β
"But the problem is that it's already moving over there."
"Huh? Ahem, cough, cough, cough...... "I choked on my own words and coughed. "What did you say?"
"I said there was movement on the Indonesian side. It seems that each country has its own plans, and there are constantly increasing troops over there anyway. It's as if the guilds of the world are planning to have a great battle over there. β
"How so? It shouldn't be! β
"We don't know why, but this is the picture shown on the Emperor's Queen's earthen stele, and I called you here in the hope that you can go in and see what happened."
"It's nothing, then you go and discuss the countermeasures first, and let Rose tell me when there is a result, and I'll go to Indonesia to have a look first."
"Okay, there you go."
As soon as I touched the teleportation ring, I appeared directly in Garland City. Although the guild occupied a large area of land in Indonesia, most of it was later sold, and now there are seven cities left: Garland (the original Tanjung Garan, Indonesia), Surprise City (the original Pekanbaru, Indonesia), the Mage City (the original Tranaipura, Indonesia), the Lingzhi City (the original Palembang, Indonesia), the Pure City (the original Padang, Indonesia), the Sentinel City (the original Mataram, Indonesia), and the Bangka City (the expansion of the original Bangka Island, Indonesia). Although there are not many of them. But all of them are located at strategic points, just enough to firmly choke the main outlet to the sea, which is a very classic defense arrangement.
Almost as soon as I came out of the teleportation array, I saw a large number of foreign players running around like ants, and the bustle was definitely even more terrifying than the Beijing train station during the Spring Festival.
"Dizzy, what's going on?" I looked at the scene in front of me and really didn't know what to say.
"Hey. Are you going to go in or out? Don't stand in the way! One player pushed me away and yelled. But his voice grew quieter and quieter, for he recognized me.
I knew he knew I knew I was when I saw his face. Immediately lifted him up. Then a vertical leap was made to a sculpture next to it. "Do you know me?"
"Hehe, just kidding, how can we not know you in our business?"
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Me? Run the place of transport. β
"Transportation?"
The other party noticed that I was looking at him and quickly explained: "I have space equipment." Even if you are the boss of the Frost Land, you will not be unaware of the business opportunities in this part of Indonesia, and those of us who have space and equipment will partner with those who have the means to move quickly to do transportation. The flow of goods between countries is measured in kilotons per minute, and no country has the means to handle this throughput independently. At present, the fastest transportation between countries is your guild cross-border teleportation array, but that thing is too expensive. And there are restrictions on the types of substances, and there are some things that people don't dare to let you see! The second fastest way to do this is to get to guΓ² here. After these cities on the Indonesian side are bought by various countries, they are considered their territory, and their domestic teleportation array can be directly built here, so that they only need to spend the money of domestic teleportation to transmit the materials to this side and then transport them to the neighboring cities, which is considered to be going abroad, and only by using the teleportation array of the other country to transmit back to the other country, so that the transportation process is completed. Although you have to reverse the teleportation array twice in the middle of the process, the victory is that the throughput is large enough. The price is also cheap. Of course, it is not impossible to transport it directly by land or sea, but it is estimated that no one will be in a hurry at that time. β
"Do you know what is going on?" I joked with him with a smile.
"Let's just be a car boss, using this person's space equipment to pull some private work. I said, Boss, what are you doing when you catch me? I still have the goods, if it's slow, but the money will be deducted! β
I casually threw a crystal coin to him. "Ask you something, it won't take long."
"You say what you say." This guy is really open-eyed, and the way he speaks seems to be a Chinese expert, the first time I've seen such a foreigner with a local flavor.
"I want to ask why there are so many people here? Shouldn't the usual shipping volume be so large? β
"Hey, you're really good at asking questions." The guy put away the crystal coins and explained, "I'm also the boss of a car, so there are too many secrets that I don't know." But according to your Chinese words, snakes have snakes, road rats, and rats, and I do know something. β
"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it."
"Well, that's right. Recently, news has come out from the Japanese side that the Japanese side intends to launch a military operation on the Indonesian side, so the transportation here may be delayed for a while, but this supply and marketing relationship has not disappeared, but once this trade route is stuck, no matter when it is reopened, it will definitely affect the business system that makes a living from it. In order to cope with this problem, all capable bosses are currently frantically stocking up. I hope to stock up on things before the trade routes are cut off, so that if the closure is short, we may be able to survive by storing supplies. β
"Good idea. Then let me ask you, do you know that a large number of troops have appeared in other cities? β
"Oh, you said that all countries are increasing their troops, right? Is this still hard to understand? β
"Huh?" I was stunned by a small vendor's rhetorical question, but my intelligence is not low. After thinking about it for a while, I understood. "Understood. You're good to go. I threw him down.
In fact, the so-called car boss was right, I should have thought that the problem was not as complicated as I thought. I was so worried that I complicated things. In fact, the increase in troops of other countries is not necessarily to participate in the war, but to put pressure on us and the Japanese to exist. In fact, it is easy to understand as long as the status of the two sides is replaced. If France and Germany were to go to war next to our borders, could we not put more troops to defend them? Even if people say it's to pinch each other, you don't worry! If you don't let go of some soldiers, no one has a bottom in their hearts. Besides, what if the other party is cheating? Fighting clearly, in fact, it is taking the opportunity to increase troops to invade, don't you put more troops just to block a block and buy time to send backups?
Although the above understanding is relatively simple, I am not a small trader after all, and my big picture is much further than theirs. The increase in troops can be seen as an attitude of self-defense, but if you are too excited to fight, these wolves will suddenly rush out and take a bite, so you must be careful to join the third party in the battle, and which of these countries are self-preservation. It is necessary to find out which ones are in collusion with the Japanese, otherwise it will not be good to be stabbed in the back when the time comes.
After finding a random place to switch to the silver moon state, I summoned Xiaoxue again, and then slipped all the way to the nearby city and began to investigate one by one. It took a whole night to inspect most of the nearby cities, and everything was good, most of the countries were just worried about their cities being affected, which means that my guess was right, the Indonesian region is still a major area of national interest, so no one wants to upset the balance here. However, I have to say that people who have entered the water in their minds this year do still have zΓ i. Because soon I found one.
"Is there any mistake that such a country should participate in a battle of this level?" When they heard the news that I had sent back the love ring of the roses, they didn't know whether to cry or laugh, because the country I had found out about was Nicaragua. To be honest, I didn't know they were buying land here, but I don't know that they should be, because they didn't buy land in a city, but a village. How much money do you think the guilds of such a small country can have? I'm already surprised to be able to buy a village.
"Are you sure it's Nicaragua?" Red Moon's voice also came out.
I leaned against the back of a sculpture and whispered, "Please, can you think about how to deal with this problem?" I haven't found out, is it possible to tell you? β
"Damn, what else does that kind of country use us to say? You can just kill it. Red Moon's answer was really super crisp.
"You're talking light. Do you know where the village of Nicaragua is bought? β
"Where?" "Right next to Castle Fiat!"
"What? Do you mean the fortified city that the French bought the land and built on their own? β
"Of course, what other city can make me dare not even move? You say these two places are so close together, what if the French think I'm going to attack them after I fight? β
"Just give me a notice." The big pot of rice really doesn't go through the brain.
In the image shown by the Ring of Love, Sumei knocked on the big pot of rice: "You look so big and you don't even use your brains." We have just attacked the ISA League in France, and although we are on our side, they have suffered from the position of the French. The so-called rabbit dead fox sad, the French naturally have no good impression of us now, and we are afraid that the French will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters in this chaotic situation, if they don't notice, they still don't know the situation, and they don't dare to move. β
"Do they dare to do anything with us?" The big pot said again.
"Of course I don't dare to do it openly. It's definitely no problem to make it bad in secret, but if you finish the fight, they will lead a group of people to occupy the fruits of your labor in the name of helping you defend, which they haven't done, and even if they are occupied, they can't really turn against them, after all, we don't plan to start a full-scale war with France. β
"It's really troublesome!"
Su Mei said: "Politics is the exchange of interests and the mastery of human nature, and now the overall attitude of France towards our guild is neutral and hostile, so in order to ensure that we can enter and leave France normally in the future, it is better not to create disputes." β
Rose suddenly asked, "What if I could find you a strong helper?" β
"Helper? You don't mean to send her, do you? "My tacit understanding with Rose has always been very high, and I knew who she was talking about as soon as she opened her mouth. At present, there are a lot of guests in our guild, but there are only two people who can really be sent to help me fight. One of them didn't cooperate much, so it was directly ruled out, and the remaining one didn't run away.
Rose heard that I guessed and immediately asked, "Do you want to?" They are Nuwa's maids, and there are no regional restrictions on the upper gods, so there is no problem in going out to fight. With my eloquence, it should be fine to move her to help. What do you think? Do you want me to send her over? β
I pondered for a moment and said, "I'm worried that she will accidentally play a land sinking technique and send the entire Indonesian Peninsula to the bottom of the sea!" β
"She's just a maid after all. It's not strong enough to be that kind of Cheng dΓΉ, right? Rose didn't speak in a very tough tone, and obviously didn't have a bottom of it.
"Then you should first ask her what kind of combat power she can achieve. Now that I've got that figured out, I'll go around the French first. You might find something. β
"Alright, I'll contact you in twenty minutes."
After cutting off communications, I quickly left the village where the Nicaraguans had bought and went straight to the Fiat Castle. Speaking of the French thinking, it is really not easy to understand, you say that this part of Indonesia is humid and rainy, the ground is rotten like a swamp, large weapons are not used at all, and they actually built a fortress-like city, it is really incomprehensible.
While Rose was going to learn about Moring's situation, I took a turn around the castle first. The castles of the Europeans were not as big as they were built in our country, and it didn't take long for them to be finished. The overall feeling is that Fiat Castle is more like a military fortress than a commercial stronghold. Generally speaking, Indonesia is not a strategic location. The reason why the status is important now is entirely because the commercial transportation hubs of various countries are here, so it has become so important, but once anyone uses force to break this pattern and grab all the land, then this land will be worthless, so generally speaking, no one will move the mind here. But now my reconnaissance shows that the French do not seem to have intended to do business only here, for the present form of development of the city has gone far beyond the requirements of defence.
Just as I checked the situation here, Rose's contact also arrived. "Husband, how is your situation over there?"
"I can't say a word or two here. You tell me what Mo Ling said. β
"She agreed to help, but she's not in our city right now. It will take some time to get from Nuwa's residence in the Divine Realm to the Nether, so you will have to wait another three hours, and as for the attack power, you can rest assured that she will not be able to cast that level of magic, and secondly, she will try to refrain from using her power. Okay, so let's talk about your situation. β
"The situation on my side is that there is a problem with the French's Fiat Castle."
"Questions? What's the problem? β
"You know that the road frame in Indonesia is basically rotten, but they have built a super fortress in this almost swampy place, what do you think this is doing?"
"I'm not doing performance art anyway."
"So I deduced that the French were secretly doing something we didn't know about, but I couldn't figure out what they were going to do. But I have a worst-case corollary here. β
"You don't have to say it. I've thought of it. "Rose also seems to understand what I'm worried about." In that case, why don't we play a trick to scare the snake? β
"You mean ......? Hehe, it's my wife, and I thought about it. β
"Let's get started."
I quickly left the Fiat Castle and ran outside the Nicaraguan land-buying village, then called Ling out and put her in charge of manipulating my minions, while I ran back to the Fiat Castle with only Amenes and Darts. After I gave the order with telepathy, Ling began to mobilize my summoned creatures and quietly surrounded the small village that had been bought by the Nicaraguans. In fact, this village is basically not a village, and this place should be called a field supply point. The whole village is an irregular approximate square, and the side length is less than 30 meters. The buildings in the village are all grass and wood, except for the stone floor, which can hardly be found in masonry. In the center of the village is a small square. In the middle of the square is the teleportation array, but this teleportation array is very small, and even if you stand close to the point, you can teleport three to five people at most. Outside the square is a ring of houses with the necessary grocery stores and blacksmith shops for the leveling area, but the grocery stores only buy small medicines. And there are almost no special agents to be found. In addition to replenishing blood, it is a magic land medicine, and it is also a small bottle of land. The blacksmith shop is even better. You can only repair equipment and don't sell things, and because the blacksmith level is too low, you can only repair equipment up to the elite equipment level, like Holy Spirit equipment and artifacts can't be repaired. The other few rooms have a small restaurant, a village chief's house, four villagers' houses, and then two warehouses, and that's all the buildings in the village. On the periphery of the house was a wood-tied hedge, only 1.9 meters high, and it was all made up of sparse twigs. Except for fending off the beasts, it basically doesn't do anything. Don't say any siege weapons, just a mage, people don't use magic to knock down the fence with a staff.
The village is a bit broken, but given the number of Nicaraguan citizens and their affluence, it is not easy to buy such a village. Ling rode on the back of the Night Shadow Land and carefully observed the situation in the village with the GuΓ² Eagle Eye Technique, and then slowly raised his right hand and waved it forward vigorously. Seeing Ling's gesture, Scott immediately shouted, "Bow down." β
With a bang, all the Kirin warriors took their bows from their mounts and mounted an arrow, and the neat movements brought a neat sound. The people in the village had already found out that they were surrounded outside, but they were too few to know what to do.
Scott didn't care so much. Seeing that the Qilin warriors were ready, they immediately continued to order: "Lift." β
Wow, more than 10,000 longbows were drawn at the same time and aimed at the village.
"Starting from the first echelon, with an interval of ten seconds between each echelon, arc throws. Put. β
There was a bang, and the first row of Qilin warriors in the first echelon released their right hand holding the bowstring at the same time, and the feather arrows immediately flew out. Only a little slower than them, when the arrows of the first row of Kirin Samurai were less than a meter away from the bow arm, the Kirin Samurai in the second row also released the bowstring, followed by the third and fourth rows of arrows. As a result, the arrows in the first row have all fallen into the village, and there are still many people in the first echelon who have not let go.
After all, there are more than 10,000 people on our side, and the village is so big, so if so many arrows are put together, most of them will definitely crash into each other, it is better to maintain an approximate space density and a longer period of time, which can not only achieve a better killing effect, but also completely destroy the enemy's confidence.
After the rain of arrows, the Nicaraguans and foreigners in the village were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, and they all huddled in their houses and didn't move. Ling glanced at Scott, who immediately ordered again: "Change the grappling hook." β
"Yes." More than a thousand Kirin warriors suddenly rushed out of the cavalry. But they had already hung their bows back on the Beast's shoulders, wielding long grappling hooks in their hands.
The people in the village saw the cavalry rushing in front of them but did not dare to come out to defend, and the nearly 10,000 bows outside were not good-looking. The first group of Kirin warriors rushed to the fence on the outskirts of the village and immediately threw their hooks. The twig-woven fence was full of holes, and it was too easy for the grappling hook to get on. Two grappling hooks caught exactly the two corners of the fence, and more grappling hooks flew up, filling the entire fence with grappling hooks.
One of the Kirin warriors leading the team immediately shouted after seeing that the grappling hooks were all in place, "Pull." All the Kirin warriors immediately turned around and began to pull back, only to hear a bang, and the fence wall, which was not very strong, was instantly pulled apart.
Scott waved his hand forward again, and another team of 1,000 rushed out. After staggering with the previous thousand-man team, the thousand-man team rushed directly into the village, countless hooks flew up to the roof, and with a bang, the entire roof of the house was dragged down, and the Qilin warriors behind immediately threw the grappling hook up and hung on the top edge of the wall. Then he jerked back, and the walls of the house fell one after another with a continuous rumbling sound. In just a few minutes, the buildings in this small village were basically demolished by the Kirin Samurai, and the people inside already knew that there was no way to survive by this time, so they began to prepare to fight back. Who knew that the Kirin Samurai suddenly grabbed his body and ran away.
Just as the people in the village were puzzled, the thousand-man team had returned to their main formation. However, a jump in the middle of the procession suddenly opened the passage, and the villagers didn't even see what was at the end of the passage. Anyway, they only saw a ribbon of colored light fly into the village, and they all went to the church of the resurrection.
The fact is as it is happening, given the unexplained behavior of the French. I changed the task of occupying the village to destroying it completely, and even if the French came to make trouble, it would be impossible to save the village. However, the behavior of the French is quite strange. After the attack on the Nicaraguan village, the French army suddenly began to assemble, and then, just when I thought they were going to intervene, the team suddenly opened through the gate in the opposite direction.
I quickly activated the Ring of Love. "Wife, there's something going on here."
"What's wrong?"
"The French march out of town from the opposite side."
"Reverse?" In the conference room in Isengard, Rose quickly beckoned the NPC next to her to help her unfold the map, and then began to look for it on the map. "The nearest city is British, and the French won't be so idiotic as to fight the British, right?"
"Obviously it can't be, but what if they colluded?"
"Collusion? I didn't expect that, but I really don't know what they can do together. Or maybe the British and French were just going to make a strategic move? But that doesn't seem to make sense. β
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind. "Do you think it's possible that they are going to surround Wei to save Zhao?"
"Wai Wei to save Zhao?" Rose paused slightly. Then he suddenly shouted, "I understand." Do you remember what was shown on the original Emperor and Queen of Heaven earthen tablet? β
"Yes."
"Onite Nobunaga said that if they attacked the enemy, they would save it, but we never knew where they were going to attack and let us save it, and now that you remind me of this, I have figured it out. It was not our guild that the Japanese were going to attack, but the Ashford Subway Cross
"So where do you think their targets will be? Asford is also considered the most powerful person in Germany, and if he were to attack in an all-out way, he would not have to expect anything to come of it for a month. β
"Iron Cross." Rose said with great certainty.
"The Iron Cross's new guild headquarters city? Hey, that place is modeled after our Isinger, and it should be a miracle if it can be defeated! β
"But you have to understand that although the Iron Cross City is built in imitation of the structure of Isenger, it is much smaller after all. And they don't have as much defense as we do. β
"So you think the Iron Cross is likely to fall?"
"Unlikely." Rose replied: "The reason why the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao is called encircling Wei, rather than destroying Wei, is that its main goal is to attack the place where the enemy must protect, so as to attract enemies from other places to be annihilated in the transfer of disciples. In this strategy, Wei is not the focus of the attack, as long as the opponent always maintains a state of strategic suppression, even if the mission objective is completed, it does not matter whether or not they can win the battle, because our Zhao is their real target. β
After listening to the rose's words, I nodded solemnly. "Listen to you, that's true. We knew in advance from the earthen tablet of the Emperor Tianhou that the ghost hand Nobunaga was encircling Wei to save Zhao, but we still felt a little tricky. If we didn't know in advance, when they really attacked Iron Cross, we would definitely send a large number of troops to the rescue, and then as long as they continued to increase the pressure, our forces would be all attracted to it, and at this time, they would use another ambush to attack Isenger and other big cities, even if they couldn't take them all, it would be absolutely no problem to occupy one or two places. Moreover, once all the forces of our guild are attracted to Europe, it will be difficult for the Chinese guild on the Japanese mainland to resist the Japanese attack independently, and it is difficult for the territory that we have worked so hard to occupy will be recaptured. β
"You're right, but luckily we know the enemy's plan, and now it's a matter of how to arrange the defense."
I thought for a moment and said, "This matter is full of solemnity. I think I'd better go back and talk to you about it. β
"Then I'll summon you back."
"Wait, my team is still outside that village, you can summon them when I take them back, and use this time to gather the people first."
Roseland and I were both moving fast, and half an hour later we were already discussing in the conference room. Rose explained the general situation and our inferences, and everyone felt enlightened when they heard it. The news I got from the Emperor's earthen tablet was just a fragment of information, and with my discovery today and the inference of the rose, it was easy for everyone to connect everything together.
"The question now is how do we respond to this strategy." Rose said, "I didn't know the enemy's plans before. So we can only keep increasing our forces in various cities, and now that we have a clear plan for the enemy, what are we going to do? β
Su Mei leaned back in her seat and propped her chin with one hand and said like a little adult, "I wonder if you can consider making a move before the enemy?" β
Rose shook her head: "I don't approve. Generally speaking, the enemy must have a normal defense strategy to deal with a general attack before making a move, so the effect of the surprise attack is not good. I can't fully take advantage of the sudden effect of knowing the news this time, so I don't think it's appropriate to attack before the enemy. β
"Then the most opportune time should be after the enemy's attack is launched?" The big pot of rice asked.
I clapped my hands and motioned for everyone to pay attention to me. "I see you've mistaken the point of discussion, now it's not about when we're going to strike, it's about developing an effective countermeasure against the enemy's actions, and what should we do with the Iron Cross?"
Su Mei spread her hands: "The Iron Cross is easy to do." There are only two ways to do this. One is to save and the other is not to save. Which one do you think is better? β
Rose said: "If you save it, it will inevitably affect the overall strategy of our side." So it's not cost-effective, but if we don't save it, it will inevitably affect our relationship with the Iron Cross, which is really ......! β
Red Moon tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Oni Hite Nobunaga said before that he would save the enemy, but now it seems that he has calculated very well, even if we know that it is a trap, we have to jump in." β
Rose followed: "Then since you have decided to jump, there are only two ways to avoid being hurt." β
"What's the solution?" Shura Ziyi asked.
"There are two ways to do it." Su Mei said: "First, narrow the goal so that the trap can't trap you. In response to this incident, it means that we will send fewer people to the rescue, so that even if we send troops to help the Iron Cross Army, it will not affect the overall strategy of our side, but now there is a problem that this degree is very difficult to grasp. Besides, the Iron Cross sent only a few people to ask us for help, which obviously does not look good on the face, and it will not be good for our reputation in the future. β
"What about the second one?" Shura Ziyi asked.
"That's even simpler, directly with an overwhelming force beyond the upper limit of the trap can carry the trap at one time, it's like the other party digging a trap to catch a tiger, but a dinosaur walks over and even if it steps on the trap, there is no need to worry at all, anyway, it will step out in one step."
"I think this second method is better." Shura Ziyi said.
"But the problem is that the soldiers have been sent out, what should I do here?"
Rose slapped the table and said, "It's better to have a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." We don't care about either side, how about directly copying each other's hometown? β
The god of war, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "If this is the plan, I can come up with a very good tactic." β
The god of war is a battlefield management computer, but he is a computer after all, and his thinking is a little worse, so he can't think of a way before the plan comes out, but once the plan is decided, he can maximize the effect of the soldiers within the scope of the plan, which is the characteristic of the battlefield management computer.
Now that the god of war has spoken, then we don't need to choose another plan, just listen to the arrangement of the god of war, and deal with the details of his specialty.
"Tell me about your arrangement." I said to the god of war.
"Since you have to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Then be thorough. The god of war suddenly walked to the wall and began to explain the world map hanging on the wall: "Since Ghost Hand Nobunaga likes to play the trick of encircling Wei to save Zhao, then we will also play with him and see who has played whom." You see, their current plan is to unify the forces of the British and French guilds to attack Iron Cross, the headquarters of the Iron Cross, and then take advantage of the lack of troops when we go to the rescue, and the guilds of Japan, the United States, and Korea will attack our homeland and take the opportunity to reclaim the occupied Japanese territories. And what we have to do is to neither care about the mainland nor save the Iron Cross, we will directly attack the headquarters of the Anglo-French Guilds and the headquarters of the American, Korean, and Japanese Guilds. The Iron Cross City of the Iron Cross is a heroic city, and even if we don't save it, it's absolutely fine to last three or five days by ourselves. Not to mention the cities of the Guild, based on the character of the Purple Sun Land Turtle, all the cities of the Guild are built like bunkers. Even if he faces ten times the enemy, he will be absolutely fine for ten days and half a month. So at least for three days, neither we nor Ashford will lose much of any city, and as for some small cities, I think they can be given up completely, and they are of little value anyway. β
Rose added: "Since you want to give up small cities. It's better to be thorough. Concentrate your forces to defend large cities and empty smaller ones. Plant a detonating device in the city, leave some death squads to fight the enemy, and finally when the enemy enters the city, we will ...... Rumble...... World peace. β
The eagle asked with a strange face, "Isn't this trick too ruthless?" The god of war said categorically: "No, this plan is very good. Sacrificing some of the parts that can be sacrificed in exchange for bigger wins is a very good deal. Well, all that's left is to see how many cities we can knock down in three days. β
Ziyue suddenly asked, "What about the distribution of troops?" How many people are left to defend themselves? β
"This needs intelligence support, so I won't consider it for the time being. Now go and gather as much information as you can. β
"Understood."
"Ah, yes." I said to Red Moon: "Please go to the Iron Cross and tell them to hurry up and prepare for the battle, but don't reveal that we already know that the enemy is going to attack, and only by not letting Onite Nobunaga know the news can we achieve the greatest results." β
Rose stood up with a smile and said, "Then I'll contact the buyer first, and we may have another city auction after this time." β
Eagle asked me, "So what are you doing?" β
"Of course, it's to do public relations, let's play the land of heaven, but we also have dividends, and we can't always belong to me. They just take benefits, right? β
"Makes sense, scrape back more." The big pot of rice said goodbye to me with a bumper harvest expression.
I nodded earnestly. "Don't worry, I have to let the Jade Emperor peel the skin for me this time."
"Ahh The Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace sneezed for no reason. "Strange, why do you feel like your spinal cord is numb? I always feel a bad premonition! β
"Report ......" An immortal official ran to the Jade Emperor and knelt down.
"What's the matter?"
"That purple sun is here again."
"The Purple Sun is coming?" When the Queen Mother who was sitting on the side heard the report, she immediately said to the Jade Emperor: "I know why you have a bad premonition!" β
"I know too." The Jade Emperor hurriedly said to the immortal official who passed the message: "You will call him in later." Someone's coming. Go and find a tattered garment for the widow. Also, remove all the fairy fruits here, and whoever is going to move the tables and chairs on this side. Go to the mansion of the immortals and see if there are any broken tables and benches or something, find a few, and ...... over there."
Half an hour later, I finally met the Jade Emperor, but I was slightly stunned by the scene in front of me. The beautiful Yaochi Wonderland has completely changed, and the colorful lotus flowers in the water are blooming very beautifully, but how do these people on the shore look like a bunch of beggars. If I hadn't stepped on the clouds under my feet, I would have thought I had gone the wrong way to the helm of the beggar gang! As for the artifacts around these people...... The chair that the Jade Emperor was sitting on was obviously an antique-level thing, and he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere before. The table next to it was actually missing a leg, and there was a stack of bricks underneath it, which looked dangerous. There was a flask and four glasses on the table, which I remember the last time I visited. But I remember that it was a jade wine jug at that time, how did it become pottery in the blink of an eye? And there was even a crack on it. What's even more exaggerated is the four cups, the last time I came, I clearly remembered that they were four blood jade god cups, claiming that you can use that cup to fill water as a blood bottle to drink, it can be called an artifact, but now I see four white pottery cups, especially the one used by the Jade Emperor, there is still a mouth, and I am not afraid to cut the mouth! Looking further aside, similar things abound. The golden lamps became rotten wood. The white jade screen became a rotten wood screen, and a large piece was broken in the middle, and the fairies on both sides were dressed like village girls, or the kind of girls from poor families, and those gods would wear cloth clothes. And it's the kind of patch set patch. You don't say that people designate that these are a few beggar masters.
I stared at the scene in front of me for a few moments before I reacted. "Wow! Heavenly Court is being robbed? β
"Thief?" The Jade Emperor pretended to smile bitterly and said, "How can we have any thieves here who are willing to come?" What do you think it's all broken into? The thief is afraid that a trip to steal things will not cost enough money! β
"Isn't it? Jade Emperor, you can't cry poor like this? Am I that scary? Are you treating me as a class enemy? β
"Crying poor? Do I still have to cry? I'm so poor! The Jade Emperor complained to me with a handful of snot and tears: "Do you think that my Heavenly Court is known as 100,000 heavenly soldiers, so you have to spend money to support it, right?" And those mythical beasts. Which offering is indispensable, isn't it? Heavenly Court doesn't have as many industries as you do in the Nether, and it's not easy for us to rely on a little incense money to support our wisdom until now! But don't worry, Ziri, I know you must be here to help somewhere. Even if you open your mouth, if you need anything, Heavenly Court will support you even if you tighten your belt. β
Dizzy, I was completely dizzy. Looks like I didn't shave them much the last time I came? Could it be that someone has pretended to be me to come to Heaven? Why are you more afraid of the people of heaven and earth seeing me than they are of debt collectors? "That...... O Jade Emperor! Is there some misunderstanding between us? β
"Nope!" The Jade Emperor replied excitedly, "Who said we had a misunderstanding? That's provoking our relationship. Didn't I say that? If you have any requirements, just ask. β
"You're all like this, can't I borrow a dog stick from you?"
"What? Dog sticks? What's that? Wait......" The Jade Emperor took two steps back and stared at me in horror: "You don't want to fight the dragon whip, right?" That's my whip for driving horses, you can't be so greedy! β
"Well, wait a minute." I felt more and more that the Jade Emperor was not reacting normally, so I quickly turned around and retreated for a distance, and then activated the Ring of Love to contact Rose. "Wife, who in our guild has been to Heaven recently?"
"Heavenly Court? I've just been. β
Now I understand it all. Others say that I am a goose and a goose, no matter where I go, I have to scrape the ground, that is actually because I often run outside, so there are more opportunities to do this kind of thing, really to say that the rose is a real expert in this regard, but fortunately she generally does not come out, otherwise it is estimated that no one would dare to deal with our guild. "Hey, let me ask you, what did you get from the Jade Emperor?"
"What's wrong? Are they embarrassed for you? β
"It's not a dilemma. The Jade Emperor now decorates the heavenly court like a beggar's nest, and when he sees me, he cries poor, and I originally planned to buy some soldiers with him, but I didn't expect him to be bubbling with his mouth now, and I don't know what to say to him. β
Rose said very aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything to him!" Isn't it just a comparison of accounts! β
"Settle accounts? What kind of account do you have? β
"It's how much benefit our guild has gained for Heavenly Court, and how much support Heavenly Court has given us, and finally I digitized all these things and counted them for the Jade Emperor. I asked him to nod his head for all the small items and details, but in the end, he quit when the details were added together. β
"What did you calculate to scare people like this?"
