Chapter 284: The Lost City Gets Message

The Lost City has been placed under total martial law.

Whether it's outside the city or inside the city. There are NPC soldiers patrolling back and forth everywhere, and the whole city is full of bleak scenes...... One can feel the feeling that war is approaching madly.

Gao Fei walked down the street.

In addition to the NPCs under martial law, there are also a large number of players who are constantly appearing.

All of these players have spawned the 'Mercenary Recruitment Point'.

The line has formed a long line, and it is impossible to count how many there are. In short, there are at least a dozen or so 'mercenary recruitment points' like this in the entire Lost City, and at least hundreds of people are queuing up at each recruitment point. And follow-up players are also coming in a steady stream, at the current rate, it is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of mercenaries can be recruited every day.

Of course, in addition to the player, there are also quite a few NPCs participating in the mercenary.

Gao Fei looked at him.

He could tell from the appearance that the average level of these NPCs was around eighty, and some of them were higher than that.

NPCs below this level cannot become mercenaries.

After all, it is a war, and the army recruited cannot be mixed. As for the player's level, it's the same level, almost around level 100, which is much higher than the NPCs. Gao Feiduo glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but nodded, worthy of being called the Lost City, one of the richest cities in the entire "Plane".

For all mercenaries, the daily commission is fifty silver coins. There's even a full set of equipment...... Although the level is slightly worse, after changing into equipment, the attributes have also improved a lot.

And don't stay long.

Gao Fei went straight into the tavern.

If you want to find out the news, only this place is the most well-informed, and you won't find any useful information anywhere else.

Asked for a glass of ale, Gao Fei sat directly in the corner.

"I've heard that Ironforge has been completely wiped out by the Scourge Legion, and even the more than 2,000 giants who came to support have been completely wiped out. Even so, they have more than ten million skeletons......" said a bearded warrior as he drank a glass of wine. The sound spread throughout the tavern, and the originally lively tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone listened to his voice.

"Someone on the forum has already speculated."

"The Scourge Legion's Skeleton Mage uses the Skeleton Lord' skill...... This skill is so perverted that it can be cast every twenty-four hours, and each time it can summon a hundred skeletons to fight for itself. Moreover, the level of these skeletons is only twenty levels lower than that of mages. ”

"Luckily, these summoned skeletons don't have skills and no equipment, otherwise we're doomed."

The bearded man laughed.

"By the way, can our Lost City withstand the attack of the Scourgeon this time?" Someone asked.

Here it comes!

That's exactly what Gao Fei wanted to ask.

Sure enough, there was no mistake in coming to the tavern by himself this time, and the only thing I was most concerned about now was whether the bearded man knew the deeper inside story.

"Who knows." The bearded man shrugged his shoulders. "There are only 500,000 resident NPC troops in the Lost City, but now all the NPCs who have responded to the call have joined the army, and it is expected that in ten days, it will be able to reach almost 10 million!"

This sentence caused everyone in the tavern to gasp.

Even Gao Fei's eyes couldn't help but flicker, if this is the case, it is a complete indication that the Lost City has reached the point where all the people are soldiers.

"There won't be so many people, will there?" Sure enough, someone in the tavern asked questions.

"That's right!"

The bearded man shook his empty wine glass, and immediately a curious player filled it for him.

"I've been in the Lost City for eight or nine years, and no one knows the city better than I do. The Lost City is inhabited by 20 million people, most of whom are foreigners. ”

At this sentence, everyone nodded again and again.

Because the Lost City is a commercial city, the flow of people is very large. Although there are 20 million permanent residents, if you include the foreign population, the number will reach at least 30 or 40 million. Most of them were merchants, but many more were mercenaries.

These mercenaries were able to participate directly in the battle, which is why the army of the Lost City would become so large.

Of course, that's not counting the number of players. If the player is involved, the number of armies will increase...... Even to a rather terrifying level.

"The average rank of these armies today is around eighty. The equipment is all sets and is well restocked. If you count the combat power, the strength is equivalent to about level 100. ”

"The average level of the player is around level 100, and with the blessing of equipment, they can also exert level 110 combat effectiveness."

"Although the skeletons summoned by the Scourge Legion are at least around level one hundred and thirty. But because there is no equipment and skills...... Therefore, the combat power is only equivalent to about level 100. ”

Gao Fei in the corner couldn't help but nod again and again.

It has to be said that everything that the bearded warrior analyzed was exactly the same as he had speculated. But what about the combat effectiveness of both sides...... Gao Fei froze, according to the current situation. Ten days later, the number of skeletons summoned by the Scourge will reach 110 million, which is bound to be far ahead of the Lost City.

Even to the point of complete crushing.

Regardless, it's the Scourge that has the overwhelming advantage.

"Hmm...... However, the Scourge was slow to do the rest. By the time they reach the Lost City, there will be at least 100 million in number. One of the players said. By that time, even if the Lost City had more than twenty million troops, we would be far from the strength of the Scourge Legion. ”

"Even if we have walls to defend, we are no match for the Scourge Legion!"

"yes, yes!"

"There are too many people, and we are no match at all."

"A well-defended city like Ironforge has been shattered by the Scourge Legion, is it still possible?"

"The Lost City doesn't have any walls, and in my opinion, we can't stop the Scourge Legion from attacking."

In the bar, everyone couldn't help but shout.

In the face of everyone's doubts, the bearded warrior just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, obviously he didn't want to say anything more, just replied - who knows!

Gao Fei stared at the bearded man.

I don't know if the other party is playing tricks, or if there are some things that I really know but don't want to say more. Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, Gao Fei didn't plan to stay in the tavern any longer. Anyway, the news here is already quite clear to him, and then he has to explore the truth.

Left the bar.

Gao Fei wandered around the street boredly.

Of course, in addition to some NPCs who are ready to participate in the battle, there are also some NPCs who have already begun to choose to escape. Gao Fei couldn't help but take a look at it more, the level of these NPCs is quite low, only about a dozen levels, no wonder they can't participate in the battle.

Even if they didn't plan to escape, the guards of the Lost City were expelling these low-ranking merchants everywhere and sending them to other places to take refuge.

"I'm afraid this battle is really hard to fight!"

Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh.

Because as it stands, it's inevitable that the Lost City will be all soldiers. Walking down the street again, Gao Fei saw a lot of useful information. After all, it is one of the richest cities in the entire "Plane", and all the combat preparations are quite complete.

Even when all the people are soldiers, there is still a lot of military money.

Armor, weapons, food, healing potions, purification potions, bandages, bows and arrows...... Almost all the supplies necessary for wartime can be seen here. And there are quite a few of them, and they can even supply the entire Lost City for half a month!

"Sure enough, it's rich!"

Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh.

And that's not all.

There are also a lot of purchase stations at the NPCs in the Lost City. These buying stations include a lot, herb stations, potion stations, ...... The market price has even exceeded the usual price by about ten times. Some players who did not join the mercenary team began to make a lot of money.

Collect all the medicinal herbs you collect from everywhere and sell them to these buying stations. These players can get five or six times more than usual, which can be described as a big profit.

There are also players who form their own teams.

First, the herbs are gathered, and then the potions are refined by players with the 'Pharmacy' subclass, and then sold to the purchase station.

This is only the most basic war money.

There are also quite a few players who have already begun to stock up on various herbs and potions when the Scourge Legion appears on the main plane. Now, after the outbreak of war, all the hoarded supplies have begun to be transported to the Lost City. Of course, there are not a few players who do this. Therefore, it has led to a large shortage of materials in many nearby towns.

There is not a small amount of money that can be made from war money like this.

Doing so will lead to an increase in the price of some items in Plane for a short period of time, as well as a shortage of resources for most items, but there aren't many people in the game to manage these things. Even if you know, you won't be nosy with rats to do macro control, but there will be many nobles themselves who will participate in it.

Therefore, players can often see that if there is any war in "Plane", it must be those noble NPCs in the game that make the most money.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Guffy.

He was thinking about how to take the lost city now...... For now, though, it's best to go to the edge of the city walls first. After all, when I first came to the Lost City, there were a lot of people gathered here...... Maybe it's in the moat or something.
