Shortly after we left the contest and switched to the map, the tournament ended early, as the last remaining team came back with honor. Originally, there were five teams in the competition area, and there were four less teams at once, and the rest of them could only collect soul stones to earn points, but unfortunately the difficulty of collecting soul stones during the game time was shared by everyone. That is to say, no matter which team we get the stone, it will be very difficult to guide the next task, and it just so happens that we took a bunch of soul stones in one breath after the alliance with the Gun God, and the rest of the team will go to find the stone, and the difficulty will naturally rise infinitely, and it is normal for them to hang back so quickly.
The system helped us count the points, the guild ranked first, the Holy Lance Alliance second, and the last guild to hang out was third, as for the two guilds that we hung up, of course, they were directly eliminated. The system prompts that the final test of the next stage will be carried out in the form of a special mission, and the specific execution method will start suddenly at any point in the next period of time, just like the first stage, probably the system will carry out a surprise attack when our three guilds are very lax, otherwise there is no need to tell us any information.
After reporting the results of the battle, it was time to hand out the prizes. There are quite a few bonus items this time, and some of them can be selected by yourself. The first of the optional items is for all participants to be upgraded to a third level, and the percentage of XP after the upgrade remains the same. I used to be 982, and this time I made up for 985, which is cheap. Players of my level need astronomical experience points per level, and the usefulness of leveling up is useful for us without directly adding attributes. Other than that. I took advantage of it because of the double number. This third-level actually took two copies, and the size and size were raised together.
The second non-optional reward is a training card per person, which is actually a leveling area specially prepared for you personally. Start the card when you think it's appropriate.,And then you can send yourself into the mission space.,This kind of mission space is independent.,Not connected to the normal map.,The monsters inside are also monsters designed entirely according to personal characteristics.,Especially suitable for card users to practice.。 For example, it is difficult for a priest pro player to level up. It's hard to level up if you don't have one, but in this kind of card, the system will modify the monster attributes. It makes it easy for priests to play, so leveling up in this thing will be much faster than outside, and this card also has experience multiplier options, depending on how you decide. The higher the XP multiplier, the stronger the enemy. I'm not afraid that a monster will be thrown out if it can't be killed.,It's a super experience that you can consider having a 10,000-fold experience.。 Of course I wouldn't do that.
The third reward is ten Good Guy Cards per person. This good guy card is also magic equipment, and you can just burn it when you use it. The card burns for an hour after it is lit, during which time attacking any enemy will not add evil, and third-party NPCs will never intervene to help your enemies, only help you attack your enemies. Of course, if it's in the other city. That's not going to work. Because this thing is only useful for third-party land NPCs, it is useless for NPCs of hostile forces.
The latter two are optional rewards. The first is to choose a piece of special equipment, the system gives us a large list of options for us to decide, anyway, each person can only have one, and it doesn't matter if you repeat it. Another optional bonus is a bunch of pills. The so-called optional is actually similar to guessing. There were at least a hundred pills in that pile, and the effect of each one was different. What you get depends on luck. A little reassuring to us is that all the pills here are only good, at least not to draw poison or anything.
After receiving the fixed reward, everyone starts to choose their own optional reward. A spatial door appeared in front of me, and when I walked in, I entered a large armory, and everything I could see was optional, and as long as I left this arsenal with any of them, it was considered a choice. As for taking a few more of these things, it is impossible to do so, because you can't pick up anything else without putting down the one in your hand.
Originally, I was going to get the most expensive piece of equipment, after all, what I have on me is the best, such a task will not give too exaggerated prizes, there will be no storage zài beyond the equipment on my body, and you can go back and sell the most expensive piece. However, this idea could not be realized, because the eternal sword spirit suddenly took a fancy to a sword hanging on the wall, and had to merge with the sword, so I had no choice but to take the sword out.
The appearance of this sword is very strange, it has no substance, except for the hilt, the whole thing is a sword-shaped black mist. I tried it with my hands, and I was able to pass through it, and it was completely illusory. Sometimes, if you use too much force, you will even blow away the mist that makes up the sword body completely, and it will take half a day to regather.
"Eternity, what the hell do you want this thing for? You're already very strong, so you don't have to use such a weak sword even if you still want to fuse, right? ”
Eternity vibrated in my hand in response to my question: "I don't want this sword, I want its special properties." The name of this sword is called Soul Slashing, and it only works on disembodied undead creatures, and its lethality is many times stronger than ordinary weapons when facing the undead. But that doesn't completely hide its weakness, the sword is a complete waste when faced with a physical weapon, as it can't hurt anyone at all. However, once the Lord is fully integrated with it, it will be different. ”
"What's the difference?"
"After fusing it, I'll gain the ability to blur. In the past, when you encountered an enemy whose weapons were very different from mine, you always cut off the opponent's weapon directly, but not everyone we have met for so long has a junk weapon, and some of them have strong weapons, and at this time, I often have to attack many times to cause damage to the other party, isn't it terrible? ”
"It's bad, it's bad, but that's also something that can't be helped! Besides, I'm not fighting with your sharpness, I'm still fighting with my own skills, even though you're strong. Didn't I use it the same way when you couldn't sharpen iron like clay before? ”
"That's a good thing to say, but after fusing this sword, I can gain the ability to blur. And you don't have to worry about other people's weapons. Don't talk about weapons that aren't as good as mine. Even if the other party is sharper than me, we don't need to be afraid, because I can blur at will. For example, the other party is wearing a large invincible armor, and you can't stab it at any time
Wait for me to blur. Once I blur my armor, I can't stop my phantom, and once the phantom enters the opponent's body, I can quickly materialize and directly damage the opponent's internal organs. What do you think of this? ”
"Isn't that what you said to be a neglect of defense?"
"Ignoring defense in general equipment is actually just an attribute, and it is only partially ignoring defense. I'm different, I'm really able to completely ignore the other party's defenses and attacks. In the future, if you want me to hold the enemy's ground weapon, I will be able to stand it, and if you want me to penetrate other people's shields and armor, I will be able to penetrate it, and nothing will stop me. You can even cut the person behind the other person without hurting the person in front of you. Isn't it convenient in case something happens to kidnap a hostage or something? ”
"That's right. Then you hurry up and merge! Anyway, I took it out for you. ”
"Of course I'd like to merge right away, but don't you have anything to do right now?" Eternity asked very seriously.
"What can I do?"
Eternity immediately said, "Then let's talk about it first." It takes more than thirty hours to fuse. I'm going to be completely unusable during this time, so think about it. If you need to fight, it's best to avoid it first, or make do with other weapons for a while. ”
"Rest assured. I still have the Blade Claw and the Moon Blade, and I really can't switch to the Silver Moon state and use the staff as well. ”
"Then I'll start fusing together, okay I'll call you." After Eternity finished speaking, it immediately exploded like a bomb into a cloud of red silk threads, and then with a hula he completely enveloped the sword that emitted black mist. Then quickly contracted into a spherical shape, rolled back and jumped on my back and turned into a groove ready for him. It seems that eternity will not be able to be used in thirty hours.
After solving the equipment reward, the next thing is the medicine reward, which is simple. Anyway, I don't know which one is better, and I can't even use the comparison, just take one. My luck was neither good nor bad to get an experience pill. The effect is to double all experience gained within seven days of consumption. It just so happened that the United States was about to build a forward base to fight with the Americans, and this kind of large-scale war escalated the fastest. When the time comes, I will have double the experience, and I may be able to reach level 1,000 in seven days.
Once everyone had decided on their own reward items, we gathered the guild leaders for a brief meeting, and finally decided to place the newly rewarded copy of Isengh between Eureka and Kolamas, and named it Rock City, which means indestructible. In reality, this is Sequoia National Park in the United States, the terrain is relatively flat, there are no too high mountains, but in the game, this place is completely a mountain and a mountain, and there is a large area of dense primeval jungle nearby, which is definitely not suitable for large army battles. Putting a city in such a place can ensure the security of defense to the greatest extent, and anyone who wants to attack the city must first solve these mountains, otherwise the large army will not be able to spread at all. In addition, not far east of this place is the most famous West Coast mountain range line in the United States, and the continuous mountainous area will make the assembly of large armies very troublesome, if not reduce the number of enemies, at least allow them to stretch the line of troops very long, reducing the intensity of the enemy's attack per unit time.
In fact, this location was also a forced choice, and according to our perfect plan, this rock city should not be near the coast at all. The American fleet was not as easy to deal with as the fleet of small Japan, and the worst thing was that our fleet had to cross the Pacific Ocean to fight them, and this battleship was stretched out too long, and we suffered a lot in the fight. Lamp~! Fire, a. Sword Book, CityOur original plan was to put Rock City in the inland area, so that we could save a lot of things by not caring about the battle at sea, but when we notified the system to place the city, we were actually told that the terrain did not match. We asked for help and found out that Issinger is a harbor city with a port, and Rock City is a replica of Issinger, so Rock City is also a seaport city. The system can make slight adjustments to the surrounding terrain according to the city conditions when placing the city, and simulate the appropriate location of the city, but the system cannot be too exaggerated. The uneven coastline system can be adjusted, but it is simply impossible to put a port city in a place where there is no water, so the system requires us to not be close to the sea. At the very least, it has to be a big lake or a river wide enough. It can't be a waterless zone anyway.
We want to put Rock City inland because we don't want to be harassed by the American ground fleet, and our fleet can still fight with the Americans at sea, if it is placed on the edge of an inland lake or river, it will be completely finished. The Americans have warships in the inner lake and river, and our fleet will not be able to enter the inner lake, and then the rock city will become embattled, so it is better to put it on the beach and let the fleet help.
We can't just drop the city as soon as we decide on the location, or the time to defend the land will start counting down immediately. We still have to get something ready. The replica of this Rock City has a full set of weapons and equipment and war resources, but there is no one. Therefore, as soon as the city is thrown down, it must immediately begin to replenish personnel. Fortunately, the localized cities can use ordinary domestic teleportation arrays, and we can quickly immigrate, but we have to prepare the NPCs in advance, and we have to start transporting them as soon as the city appears.
In addition to normal NPCs, it is more important to move NPCs in battle. Our guild made a lot of money during this time, and Rose began to spend money lavishly. In one go, he introduced a heavenly soldier and heavenly general worth a billion crystal coins from Heavenly Court. When the Jade Emperor heard that it was to help our country open up territory, he waved his hand, and the price was discounted in half on the original basis, and the result was that the strength of the army doubled at once. In addition, Heavenly Court seems to attach great importance to our overseas development, and even moved out all the good things at the bottom of the box.
When the Heavenly Court handed over the Heavenly Soldiers, he brought us a gossip mirror. It is said to be a super weapon used in the formation of the Heavenly Court, and it is claimed to be able to summon the ghost army to fight. I look at the attributes, what kind of ghost army is it! This thing is completely a magic circle that uses necromantic energy to operate the Earth Spirit War Circle, and anyone who dies in battle within a certain range of it within a certain range, no matter which side it is. After death, the soul will be sucked into the Bagua Mirror to act as an energy source, and then the Bagua Mirror can release ghost soldiers to participate in the battle. The most perverted thing about this thing is that it can be made in multiple quantities. Basically, for every person who dies on the battlefield, there are ten more ghost soldiers on our side, which means that the number of people will die more and more. But it's not something against the sky, he made it
Although there are a large number of ghost soldiers who come out, the level is not high, and they are purely used for troublemaking.
In addition to this mirror, the Jade Emperor also gave me a full ten carts of rune paper by the way. The Jade Emperor asked me to stick this thing on the inside of the city wall, which can increase the hardness of the city wall and cancel out some magic damage.
Expanding the territory is an increase in the guild territory for us, and it is also an increase in their territory for the Heavenly Court, which is why the Jade Emperor is so generous in selling and giving away land to give me so many good things. If it were usual, just this piece of rune paper might cost hundreds of crystal coins, but now the whole car is given away for nothing, and the people who don't know where are they still estimating whether the Jade Emperor is getting a kickback.
Heavenly Court gave face like this, and of course the other allies of the guild couldn't be too shabby. The Monster Alliance sent us hundreds of tons of pills in one go, originally I thought it was for us to strengthen our attributes, so I almost ate one, but fortunately, the water void eye was in a hurry to grab it. When I asked, I found out that this thing is not for ordinary players and battle NPCs, but for free NPCs. Under normal circumstances, free NPCs are a group of NPCs who are completely incapable of fighting power, and they play the role of ordinary citizens in the city, making the game world more realistic. But this medicine can make the free NPCs that eat it quickly turn into savage and brutal monsters, and their combat power can compete with players of level four or five hundred. Although the current player level is generally above 600, there are not many people! Free NPCs can be said to be as much as they want, and they don't need money, and if they grab a handful, it is not a problem for these hundreds of tons of medicine to make more than 100 million monsters. In addition, according to Shui Xu, this thing is not a garbage monster created by light energy, and about every hundred people will produce an enhanced version of the demon beast, which can be at the level of a six-hundred-level player. In addition, there may be a super demon beast for every 10,000 people, whose combat power is about equal to the strength of a level 900 player, or even stronger.
Although the combat power can be said to be very good, the monster beast is actually just an auxiliary means. According to Shui Xu, demon beasts have no intelligence at all, and they only rely on instinct to fight, so once they fight, they don't distinguish between enemy and me, and they don't recognize anyone except that demon beasts won't fight with each other. However, Rose quickly worked out a maximized monster lamp for us~! Fire, a. The sword book, the way to the city's ability, is to airlift it out and throw it into the enemy's base camp. When the time comes, we will see which guild will attack the city, and we will throw a bunch of monsters down to the city where their guild belongs, and the lair will be in a hurry, to see if they will continue to stay with us or go back to fight the fire. In addition, it is also a good idea to directly drop the monster beast to the center or rear of the enemy's position, anyway, these guys have no brains, and being surrounded will not affect their morale, it will only cause them to cause more disturbance.
After the demons and the heavenly court finished speaking, the Chinese Dark Temple and the Light Temple also had a separate meaning, but these two families are also very average in their own strength, and secondly, they are not very sure about us, so there are not many things to give. The Dark Temple has replenished us with a thousand Shadow Killers who will help us assassinate enemy leaders. In contrast, the Temple of Light is a little more practical, and it has replenished us with 100,000 priests in one go, although it does not have any combat effectiveness, it can make our forward troops more durable, and it has a great impact on the battle situation.
After the Heavenly Court finished running, we started to run the major guilds separately, the Red Moon was in charge of the Blood Alliance, the Rose was in charge of the Northern Alliance, and I sent the Iron Cross, and these three allies had to pull in for anything. In the end, the result was slightly different from what was expected. Feng Yin Miao is a hot-blooded person anyway, and he completely jumped into our chariot under the strong instigation of Hongyue's sister, and when the time comes, all guild players will be dispatched and a large number of NPCs will be purchased to participate in the battle. Not to mention Ashuford's Iron Cross, the whole guild was very excited when they heard that they could fight the Americans, these guys had long wanted to fight with the Americans to test their combat effectiveness, and this time they finally got the opportunity. There is money to help us fight, and the Americans can't anger them yet, after all, they are just helpers, even if the Americans are looking for trouble, they will look for us, and they will not find them. Asford has promised to dispatch more than eighty percent of the players in the entire fleet and guild, and will also mobilize a large number of defensive weapons and NPC legions to assist us in the battle.
The only problem is on the side of the Northern Alliance. There were serious differences of opinion among the major forces within the Northern Alliance, and some people believed that it was not appropriate to start a war with the Americans too early, and that good relations of cooperation should be maintained for the time being. In addition, there is another side that believes that an forward base will only make the Americans face up to our strength, and will not really provoke them, and will make the Americans pay more attention to us, so they support sending troops. There is also a faction of centrists, who have never been able to make up their minds, and they want to fight but are afraid that something will happen.
Mingui and Yanyu themselves talked for a whole day, Yanyu still wanted to join the war, but their guild was different from ours. The Northern Alliance is a bit like the original anti-Japanese united front, it is a guild union composed of multiple guilds, not exactly a guild, and its internal subordination is not too strict, and there is no way to decide things like our guild. However, Yanyu at least promised to mobilize his men to participate in the battle, but it is uncertain how many people will come.
We are also aware of the difficulties of smoke and rain. He's not like us. Our guild is supported by the strong economic skill of Mingui and my absolute strength, and such a guild has a strong sense of belonging, so it can be said that the members can fight wherever I command. Feng Yin Miao's hot blood alliance was formed by a group of like-minded people, including Feng Yin Miaomiao himself, a strongman in charge of the economy, and unified command is naturally no problem. Ashford's Iron Cross was entirely set up by Ashford at his own expense, exactly like the sole proprietorship he opened, and no one could say anything as long as he was happy. But smoke and rain are different. The Northern Alliance grew out of the in-game influx of out-of-game businesses to see in-game opportunities. It can be said that the Northern Alliance is a defense force built up by a business group to defend its own economic interests, and its leader should actually be money, not people. Yanyu is only a temporary person, and his orders are not absolute. Of course, everyone will not object to his meaning when he can see the benefits, but if he can't see the direct benefits, the companies behind him may not be willing to support him, which is also a helpless thing.
After three busy days, I finally got all the qiē ready, and Eternity recovered from the fusion, and it was time to fight.
