Chapter 58: The Moment Before the War
Tom tom tom -
Heavy footsteps resounded over the entire steel fortress, and the city, which had been calm a moment before, was suddenly replaced by a fierce aura of slaughter.
Looking out the window at the crowd of player armies passing by in front of the tavern, Ye Zhen lifted the curtains with one hand, and held the fog shadow trace in the other hand to constantly refresh the coordinates of the flame tattoo, his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes.
After recuperating in the private room for so long, he is like a poisonous snake full of venom, and once it erupts, it will show terrifying power.
Today is the third day after the battle for the fortress has ended, but none of the eight fortresses in the game have launched a tough battle, and they are all silently preparing for the first battle, trying to win the first battle.
Once a fortress is captured by an enemy country three times in a row, the system will determine that the occupying guild of the fortress is not strong enough to disgrace its own people, and the battle will be reconvened in the country.
It is precisely because of this that no guild dares to be reckless and hasty, and it is important to know that fortress warfare is not a simple siege or defense battle between the two sides, and the side that initiates the fortress war will not only have to pay a lot of gold to the system, but may even be captured by the other party.
As long as the strength is sufficient, the guild that is forced to fight is likely to evolve into the besieging side, and the guild that was initially besieging the city may also evolve into the side that can only defend the city.
No one knows how many enemy internal responses have been planted in their fortress at this time, and once the city is broken, what awaits them will be the enemy's internal and external combinations.
A guild that can prepare everything needed for a large-scale war in such a short period of time, and has the courage to launch a tough battle, is only capable of this behemoth as the Heavenly Fire Burning Plains.
A domineering guild that once dominated the main city of Grimm, a giant guild with more than 150,000 members, and a super guild with the most elite members in the game, it would be an unfortunate thing for anyone to become its opponent.
The position of the Fire Tattoo was constantly refreshed, and it could be judged from the leaf marks on the constantly changing coordinate data that the Fire Tattoo was walking towards the gate facing Fort Tucker at this time.
"Looks like this guy is serious." Muttering softly, Ye Zhen immediately put the Misty Shadow Trace into his backpack, and then drank the half bottle of red rum left on the table, and walked out of the tavern door.
As soon as he came to the wide street, Ye Zhen was shocked by the scene in front of him, and saw that eight rows of shield fighting professions holding metal shields like long dragons were flowing through the street with heavy steps, like a tide rushing towards the city gate, and there were so many people that there was no end in sight at both ends of the front and back.
At this time, there were countless players watching the excitement on both sides of the street, looking at the metal 'long dragon' in front of them that was wrapped in iron armor from beginning to end, and their mouths opened into an O-shape, and they were surprised.
The shield battle legion of the Heavenly Fire Burning Plains was particularly powerful, with more than 20,000 people, and it took more than ten minutes for these shield battle classes walking in the forefront to pass through.
This is followed by a berserker group that is slightly inferior in resistance to combat and is second to none in the game in terms of its ability to charge on the battlefield.
To Ye Zhen's surprise, the young guy with pigtails who led the Heavenly Fire Rebellion against the Long Dragon turned out to be his old acquaintance, the Pirate Head!
I saw the pirate head wrapped in dazzling gold armor, carrying a giant battle axe with cold light on his shoulder, with his majestic running movements, his black pigtails trembled up and down, just like an ecstasy boy, even if it was an excellent armor weapon, it didn't make him have a trace of the main general's demeanor, but made people feel that this was a little hooligan who carried an axe to the street to cut people.
You must know that he scratched his head and begged his sister Caimei for a long time, and under the wind blowing by Caimei's pillow every day, the flame tattoo reluctantly agreed to give him a chance to lead the berserk battle group of Tianhuo to the battlefield.
As a seven-foot man, the pirate head also feels that he has a passion and wants to prove his ability through large-scale wars. After all, although he is the brother-in-law of the president, what he has done has already made many elders of the guild dissatisfied.
Feeling the burning envious eyes of the players around him, the pirate head only felt that he had not lived in vain in the past 20 years, in order to show his majesty, he shook his head in a dashing manner, and suddenly roared hoarsely at the endless long dragon behind him, "The ones behind are all following, and they haven't eaten, eaten-"
The pirate head was already a little out of breath because of the non-stop running action, and he roared with all his might, and his already wine-colored body was only halfway through the roar, and the sound came to an abrupt end like a broken string.
The pirate head's neck was red, but he still couldn't make a sound, and his vocal cords seemed to be completely useless.
Seeing this, the players around them were immediately laughed by this guy, and some exaggerated even squatted down, laughing so hard that they couldn't even straighten their waists.
No matter how thick-skinned the pirate was, the pirate's head suddenly blushed with shame and his neck was thick, and the high head quickly hung down.
However, he was still calm, rubbed his neck, and rushed out calmly amid the ridicule of the players.
"This guy will always be the same." Looking at the comical appearance of the pirate head, Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh secretly, and immediately turned his gaze to the personnel behind the Heavenly Fire Burning Plains Crazy War Regiment.
Soon, the swordsmen, archers, mages, and priests all passed by quickly, and the black and oppressed figures all flowed towards the city gate like a tide, and the number was really amazing.
However, what puzzled Ye Zhen was that until all the legions of the Heavenly Fire Rebellion had flowed through the main street, there were no flame tattoos and the figures of Cai Mei and his wife.
The main street was empty, and the crowd of onlookers involuntarily walked towards the city gate, wanting to witness the first fortress battle in the game.
However, just as Ye Zhen followed the flow of scattered players towards the gate of the city, a group of players from the Heavenly Fire Burning Plains suddenly blocked their way, and the muscular furious battle led by the leader shouted at everyone, "All of them are brothers who are here to help defend the city, I am the dominant Fengyun of the Heavenly Fire Liaoyuan Guild, responsible for the security and management of the scattered players in the city, everyone please come with me, I will delineate the guard range for you." ”
In the game, players can help their own fortresses defend the city, but only within the city.
Hearing the words of the domineering storm, the scattered people who were at a loss immediately followed, and Ye Zhen naturally hid in the crowd, mixing in silently.
When Xiong Ba Fengyun walked to a branch street away from the main road, he suddenly stopped, pointed to this small street and said kindly, "This is your activity area, our guild will send five hundred members to defend this street with you, I hope you can cooperate happily, once the war starts, if there is a trouble, our brother will kill him mercilessly, I hope you can understand." ”
Since nationality could not be ascertained, the Fire Tattoo only sent 100,000 members to fight, and the rest of the tens of thousands remained in the city, guarding the city gates and the all-important city lord's mansion.
You must know that once the castle lord's mansion is lost, if the pattern representing the honor of the guild is shattered, it means that the city is occupied, and a huge amount of compensation needs to be paid to regain the city.
Now the city seems to be calm, but no one knows how many swords and roses are mixed in it, and once the battle starts, they may even directly attack the city lord's mansion, which represents the victory or defeat of the city.
It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for the Heavenly Fire to let the scattered players get close to the City Lord's Mansion and the city gate, so as to avoid civil strife at that time.
After that, Xiong Ba Fengyun left a team of 500 people, and then led a large group of people to find another scattered people on the streets.
Seeing that the heroes were leaving, the crowd, which was still very quiet, suddenly exploded again, and they were all gearing up to do a big job.
Ye Zhen naturally couldn't be too calm, and like everyone else, he also took out his dagger Night Kiss and made a look of preparation.
However, the corner of Ye Zhen's eyes had been looking at the five hundred Heavenly Fire Burning Plains members left behind by the Tyranny, these heavily armed guys did not say a word, scattered at both ends of the streets and the gaps between the buildings, blocking this path impermeable, and strictly preventing the group of scattered people in the middle of the street from approaching the city gate and the City Lord's Mansion.
Even if he has the golden cicada shelling skill that can be invisible in the city, Ye Zhen doesn't dare to use it right under their noses, once he is discovered, he is likely to be expelled directly from the city, and the mission will be ruined at that time. To know which player the lord wants to expel unless it's a battle time, all you need to do is enter their ID.
Just as Ye Zhen was still thinking quietly, a high-pitched scream suddenly sounded from the crowd, "Look, the city lord flame tattoo has climbed the city tower, and it looks like the battle is about to begin." ”
Hearing this, Ye Zhen's heart was shocked, and he immediately looked up at the majestic city tower not far away.
I saw that on the heavy city tower opposite to Tucker Fort, there was a group of hundreds of people ascending the city tower from the east stairs, and the leading man and woman were the flame tattoos of the president of the Heavenly Fire Liaoyuan and the wife of the president.
From ancient times to the present, the castle tower is the headquarters of the generals defending the city, and in the game, because the two fortresses are far away, the commander of the besieging side can even command from their own castle tower, which plays a great role in solving the perspective.
Soon, the Fire Tattoo group climbed the tall castle tower and looked at the opposite Tak Fort with their backs to the back.
With the flame tattoo ascending the tower, it didn't take long for the four stone stairs in the city that could climb the tower to be closed by thousands of Tianhuo personnel, and the figure of the flame tattoo was also surrounded by his subordinates in the middle, and Ye Zhen and the others in the rear could no longer see their backs.
"Oops, so the flame tattoo doesn't even need to be out of the city." Looking at the rows of guards on the city tower, Ye Zhen felt a little big, if the flame tattoo stayed on the city tower all the time, it would be really a trouble.
Ye Zhen knew that once the siege began, the two opposing cities would become combatable areas during the war, which was why he would always stay in the city, but now that the battle had not started, the flame tattoo had already been on the well-defended tower.
With the fortified walls of the fortress that were more than thirty meters high, even if he had a sharp weapon like the Flying Claw, it was impossible for him to climb up silently.
The assassination mission is once again at an impasse......
