Chapter 246: The Battle of Defending the City

Early the next morning, I came to the study, according to the memory of the poster, began to draw, my inspiration, from the earth's fashion fair, I believe, as long as the quality is closed, and then the grade and taste up, then after a few years of hard work, the Phantom City's armor will become a famous brand all over the world, at that time, even if there are other people's armor better than ours, I'm afraid it is not qualified to compete with us!

The reason why I ordered the craftsmen to make gold-inlaid armor so hard at all costs this time is precisely because of my idea, a year ago, I sent Mario out to sell his armor, but in fact, the effect is not ideal...... Advertising comes to mind.

On the earth, as long as hundreds of millions of advertising dollars are smashed and the overwhelming advertising is promoted, then even if you are a small factory with no reputation, you will be crowded with customers who flock to it in an instant.

But unfortunately, there is no television in this world, not even radio, so the only way I can think of it is to print a lot of posters, and then go to the big cities to give high prize tasks, just put these posters on the streets of the big cities, and then ...... My ad performance was achieved.

Thinking of this, I began to write and draw, although my painting skills are not very good, but fortunately, now all kinds of talents in Phantom City have been cultivated, as long as I get the general meaning out, they will naturally help me improve and process.

After a busy day, finally at ten o'clock in the evening, I was satisfied with my design, looking at the big poster in front of me, I couldn't believe that I had drawn it, although the skills were a little worse, but the effect was quite good.

Looking at the sky, the work workshop should not have gotten off work yet, so it ...... I hurriedly picked up my design draft, rushed to the design room as soon as possible, handed over the design draft to the designer, and ordered them to rush to work overnight to get out of the poster.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and finally ...... Tens of thousands of posters were driven out, holding the finished poster, I nodded with satisfaction, it was really good, I had already painted it very well, and now after these designers retouched, this is simply a work of art, if you take a picture frame and frame it, it can definitely be used as a decorative painting!

On the poster, it is a very exquisite, gorgeous, and mighty burly warrior, wearing a set of golden armor, the armor exudes a golden light, all the golden light, forming a round defensive shield, the effect of the whole picture is called a cool, that is called a handsome, can definitely attract all the samurai who use hard leather armor.

At the bottom of the poster, we describe in detail the characteristics of this set of armors, the world's first design concept, the gold inlay with super anti-magic performance, and the controllable defensive shield that comes with the armor, plus the gorgeous appearance, mysterious runes, and everything that constitutes this set of the world's top classic armor!

After introducing all the armors, he introduced the appearance and performance of the armors from other aspects, in addition to using actual test data to prove the strength and function of the armors, but also regarded the Glorious Knights of the Holy See as the image spokesperson, after all, ...... What they're wearing is the armor produced in our Phantom City.

After a series of publicity, the final ...... I announced the address of this armor exhibition conference one by one Phantom City, I did not choose other big cities, although there will be many buyers who do not come because of the long distance, but in order to revitalize the Phantom City, I have no choice, how can I use my own armor for the benefit of others?

Subsequently, I ordered Mario to carry these posters and rushed to the nearest big city with a population of more than one million, where the adventure guild gave a mission, in order to ensure that the posters were indeed pasted, I invested a lot of money, I only need to take these posters to the city pointed to by the mission, and post them in crowded places, you can get a lot of money!

Under the temptation of a large amount of money, in only three days, all the tasks were out, thousands of adventurers, carrying posters, rushed to various cities in the Eastern Continent, the deadline of the mission was two months, such a long time, enough for these adventurers to rush to any city in the Eastern Continent.

In the following time, I began to concentrate on cultivation again, and the Dance of Great Dreams, illusions, and my fast sword all made great progress, in the meantime...... I've also been to the Valley of the Sacred Guard a few times, but ...... When I saw these guys practicing and forgetting to sleep and eating, and entering a state of complete self-forgetfulness, I didn't bother them much, just looked at them from a distance a few times and left.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, the adventurers have handed over the task, except for a very few people, most of them have completed the task, at the same time, I sent to various large and medium-sized cities, to send invitations to the various city lords The messengers also rushed back one by one, and the battle armor will finally enter the preparation stage!

In the next time, the people of the entire Phantom City have taken action, the whole Phantom City is full of lights, a festive atmosphere, at the same time, the entertainment street, the catering street, after nearly half a year of preparation, finally reopened, sent to various cities to send the messenger to send the invitation sticker by the way to invite back the chef with a high salary, also have to work, the entire catering street, can be described as fragrant, as long as you walk to this street, you will definitely can't help but walk in to eat, but it is worth mentioning that the consumption here is not low!

Since all the buildings in Phantom City are built, whether it is the external shape or the internal structure, they are roughly the same, so the area of each restaurant and hotel is very large, although the decoration style is different, and the internal partitions are also different, but without exception, all of them are luxury hotels, and there are no roadside taverns or stalls.

At the same time, various entertainment facilities on the entertainment street have also been opened, and miners and other workers after work have acted as tourists to help the entertainment venues with trial operation.

The entertainment industry has always been one of the fastest industries to make money, especially gambling, which is one of the fastest projects, in order to avoid someone using energy to cheat, so ...... We have implemented a dealer system, with the staff of Phantom City acting as the banker, and other tourists can only bet passively, completely unable to affect the result.

With the approach of the armor exhibition, the merchants who are closer to the Phantom City, as well as the city lords of each city, have rushed to the Phantom City in advance, fortunately, we have been prepared, and arranged all the people who came to the Phantom City to live in the hotel in an orderly manner, and sent a tour guide to introduce the characteristics of the Phantom City to these foreign guests, where to eat, where to entertain, one by one!

I can proudly say that although it is true that Phantom City is not big enough in terms of size, it ...... In terms of urban functions and environment, Phantom City is undoubtedly one of the best cities in the world, with many facilities and functions that other cities do not have.

In order to prevent anyone from making trouble during the exhibition, the forty holy guards, as well as the four rookies, were all called back by me, and at the same time, tens of thousands of slaves, all wearing the armor produced in the Phantom City, were patrolling the streets majestically, and once someone made trouble, they would be immediately hit by extermination!

Of course, before entering the Phantom City, at the gate of the city, we set up a notice to enter the city, enter the city, after staying in the hotel, you will also get a small book printed with the laws and regulations of the Phantom City, if you want to make trouble, then I'm sorry, waiting for them, only death!

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the four elders also took action, especially Elder Feng's wind dragon, which patrolled the sky over the city almost 24 hours a day, once an accident was found, the wind dragon would rush to the scene as soon as possible, unless the troublemaker reached the strength of the ACE level, otherwise, he would not be able to survive, but then again, if the strength of the people really reached the ACE realm, would they come to me to make trouble?

In this world, there are many people who can't be offended, no matter how rampant I am, I haven't been ignorant to the point of arrogance, let alone ACE-level, as long as I'm on the S-level, none of them are simple, even if they make trouble, they have to be kind to persuade each other, who knows what kind of power they have behind them!

However, to be able to come here, it seems that the quality is very high, and there are not many troublemakers, except for meal time, almost all other times, these guys are gathered on the entertainment street, the most exaggerated is in the casino, it is even more crowded and even difficult to turn around, seeing this situation, I hurriedly opened ten large blockades that can accommodate thousands of people, but it is still not enough, there are still a large number of guests blocked from the door.

Fortunately, the equipment blocking the field is actually extremely simple, a large table, plus simple props, this is the blocking field, it is very simple to open the blocking field, as long as there is a large space, and then put the table, put the props on it!

Finally, when the blockage increased to 40, it was barely enough, and at this time...... The crowd wandering in the jam every day has reached a terrifying more than 40,000!

When I got the list of income of forty companies for one day, I was so frightened that I fell off my chair and sat on the ground.

Forty blockages, each blockage has a daily income of more than 10 million, and forty blockages, the daily income has reached 500 million, ***, what kind of people are these, so rich! On average, the amount of money that everyone consumes every day in the blockage has reached an exaggerated level of 10,000!

But when I think about it carefully, I am relieved, the one who came here is either a rich businessman, or the lord of a city, and the next one, it may also be an arms procurement official of a city

The so-called accumulation of small amounts, gathering sand into a tower, a little bit of small interests gathered, is a huge wealth, and now, I am accumulating a lot, gathering towers into a city, so the daily income is naturally exaggerated, and it is normal!

In the following week, merchants rushed to Phantom City, and after just one week, the crowd gathered in Phantom City reached an astonishing 100,000! The number of casinos increased to 100, and the daily income reached an astonishing level of 1 billion! All the facilities in Phantom City were running at full capacity and overloaded, and in order to allow everyone to eat, the catering street was simply open all day, and the flow of people on the entertainment street was never interrupted!

It seems that there are a lot of people, but in fact, less than half of the thousands of large and medium-sized cities on the Eastern Continent have really sent people, but many businessmen have smelled the smell of money and rushed here, after all, ...... After reading the promotional poster, anyone with a little business acumen can see the business opportunities contained in it!

Finally, the Phantom City Warframe Exhibition has opened, and I was going to hold it in an arena that can accommodate 100,000 people, but since these guys can bring so much benefit by gathering here, then I would be a fool if I didn't know how to keep them here as long as possible.

So, the most despicable trick came out, although the conference was still held in the arena, but it was only held once a day, and it was intended to be free for everyone to watch, but now I have changed my mind and started selling tickets, do you want to see the event earlier......? It's okay to buy high-priced tickets before spending.

I set the price of each ticket at 100 gold coins, and I thought it would not sell well, but in fact, who of the people who came here would care about such a small amount of money? Not to mention...... Grasping business opportunities earlier means that you can grasp the rare opportunity one step in advance, and the probability of making a fortune will be higher, so ...... All tickets were swept away.

At the Warframe Club, a total of four sets of armor were exhibited, namely the silver-inlaid men's crusty armor, the silver-inlaid women's crusty armor, the gold-inlaid men's crusty armor, and the gold-inlaid women's crusty armor!

Tens of thousands of people sat on the observation chairs, and a team of models I specially invited, wearing our armor, shuttled through the aisle between the crowd, constantly exuding fighting spirit, highlighting the gorgeous appearance of the armor and the magnificent patterns!

Afterwards, there was a demonstration of the functions of the Warframe, and the audience elected the more prestigious businessmen present, and they came to the stage to test the various performances of the Warframe in person!

Subsequently, thousands of sets of Phantom City's latest gold-inlaid armor were passed on separately, and everyone observed and identified the workmanship, performance, and quality of the armor at close range...... Whether this product is worth it for them to operate, everyone should know in their hearts!

Half a month's time has passed in a blink of an eye, and in half a month's time, the income of Phantom City has reached an exaggerated level, and just in terms of blocking the field, it has brought me 100 million gold coins, that is, 10 billion copper coins.

In addition, the catering street also brought me more than 40 million gold coins of income, when all the crowds have dispersed, Phantom City has scavenged a lot of money and wealth from these people, Phantom City used to make me the most difficult financial problem, it is not a problem at all, so much money, so I can let go of my hands and feet, full construction!

At the same time, at this Warframe Exhibition, we selectively chose the Warframe Stores with better reputation and relatively large scale as agents in various large and medium-sized cities, and signed a large amount of orders with them, and now we ...... Instead, I have to step up the construction of the Hardcover Warshell Workshop.

Originally, this would be a big project, but fortunately, in the past year, the four mercenary groups that have occupied the Phantom City have basically completed the planning and construction of the Phantom City, and a large number of idle buildings can be used!

Next, I sent people to various villages and towns on the mainland to hire workers with experience in armor production to come back, and with the influx of staff, one after another armor workshops began to be put into production, and truckloads of goods were transported to various cities on the mainland, and the tide of money was gathering towards Phantom City at a speed that I couldn't believe!

However, things in the world will not always be smooth sailing, and the development of Phantom City has finally attracted the attention of people with a heart, and after realizing the value of the battle armor produced in Phantom City, it has finally ...... The thieves around the Phantom City have targeted the transport vehicles of the Phantom City and started to attack!

It doesn't matter, after a few incidents in a row, we changed the way the goods were transported, spent a lot of money, and hired a mercenary group to escort them, so that unless we paid a huge price, otherwise, we didn't want to take the goods away, and we suffered a big loss several times in a row, and after not tasting losses, all the thieves finally relented, after all, no one wants to do a loss-making business

Just when I was secretly relieved and thought that the matter was over, news came from the security department that a large number of unidentified warriors inside and outside the city tried to storm the city gate, and ...... There are constantly a large number of warriors concentrating here from all directions!

Hearing this news, my heart sank, and I immediately issued an order, immediately closed the city gate, the whole city entered the first-level combat security state, and all the combat members quickly went to the city wall to gather, ready to listen to orders at any time!

With my order, the entire Phantom City took action, and tens of thousands of slaves put down the tools at hand, changed into their battle armor, took up their weapons, and rushed in the direction of the city wall, and arrived at their positions according to their usual deployment.

At the same time, the forty holy guards, as well as the four rookies, also rushed to the gate of the city as soon as possible, and as for the four elders, they were also guarding the four key points of the city wall, ready to support us at any time.

When everything was ready, the sky gradually got dark, and at the same time, I don't know when the city was outside, I don't know how many enemies had gathered in the black, and in the night, only the cold light emitted by the weapons was shining, looking at everything in front of me, I knew...... Seeing that the Phantom City had developed, these thieves began to be greedy again!

Crash...... Crash...... Crash......

In the silence of the night, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the grasslands and trees outside the city, there was an uproar...... Crash...... The footsteps gathered towards the Phantom City from all directions, looking at the dark night sky outside the city, an incomparably huge pressure rushed towards the face like a sea of mountains

I shuddered violently, and looked around in shock, even I had already felt such fear, let alone the others? Today's battle is really dangerous, unless I can invite the other party to fight the leader again, but they have already suffered a loss, will they have a leader war with me again?

Frowning tightly, I commanded the forty holy guards under the city in a low voice: "All the holy guards immediately go to the bunker on the city gate, and be ready to guard the city gate at any time!"

Be!

After receiving my order, forty holy guards quickly walked along the aisles on both sides of the city gate, one by one into the bunker at the top of the city gate, the city gate and the city wall of the illusory city, I have adopted the ancient Chinese architectural model, there is a huge city gate tower above the city gate, and the city gate tower is attached to the solid bunker, and ...... The bunkers are all built with sturdy anti-magic stones, which can provide the strongest protection for the soldiers in the bunkers!

Seeing that the forty holy guards were in place, my heart couldn't help but let go, there are them guarding the city gate, although it can't be said to be impregnable, but waiting for idlers, it is not easy to approach the city gate, as for the city wall part, I am not too worried, after all, ...... The city wall is more than 20 meters high, how easy is it to climb?

The next moment...... I stood on the city gate tower and shouted loudly to the tens of thousands of slave soldiers lined up under the city wall: "Okay, if you want to protect your freedom and dignity, now is the most critical moment, if you don't want to continue to be a slave, then use your lives to defend all this, go up to the city wall one by one!"

With my command, I suddenly ...... All the slave soldiers immediately climbed up the city wall one by one along the various passages under the city wall, and the next moment ...... The thousand-meter-long city wall is covered with dense figures, reaching a terrifying number of thousands of people every 100 meters, and it is really scary from the outside.

Hum!

At this moment, in a cold snort outside the city, under the light of the fire, more than a dozen figures walked out of the separated crowd, and the cold snort came from the mouth of a silver-armored warrior in the lead.

Squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the samurai in silver armor who led the way towards the city gate, I knew...... This is the enemy leader of this operation, but to my consolation, it is not Arakua who has arrived, but a gang of thieves I don't know

I watched the other party approach coldly, and it wasn't until the other party stood still that I said coldly: "Everyone...... It's dark and cold, you don't sleep at home, what are you doing in our Phantom City......?"

Hum!

Hearing my words, the leader of the silver armor snorted coldly again, and said coldly: "I heard that Phantom City has made a fortune recently, and we poor brothers are about to be unable to open the pot, so I want to come here to ask the city lord for two money to spend, I don't know if the city lord is willing to give a little unilaterally?"

Alms?

Listening to the other party's words, I couldn't help but laugh gloomily, these guys' requests, I can't meet them, I don't care about money, but today I gave them, tomorrow they will come, not only will they come, the thieves around here, will come here, take this place as their wallet, and come to make trouble at two ends in three days, in this way, the phantom city will be completely finished.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh disdainfully, looked at the leader of the silver armor with disdain, and said arrogantly: "You all have hands and feet, what kind of food do you want?

To put it this way......

After listening to my words, surprisingly, the silver armor leader did not move, looked at me gloomily, and the silver armor leader said in a low voice: "So...... Are you guilty of not being honest?"

Listening to the other party's words, I couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Ken! Who said no, but ......"

"But what?" the Silver Armor Leader couldn't help but ask.

Following the words of the silver armor leader, my right hand pointed sharply, pointed to the skull tower made of more than 4,000 heads outside the city gate, and said, "I can give you the money, but ...... I was building a pagoda recently and was short of some materials for the time being, so I ...... I want to borrow your and your brothers' heads first, as long as you are willing to borrow them, I will never be stingy!"

Licentious!

Hearing my words, the leader of the silver armor finally became angry, frowning, and the general of the silver armor said angrily: "The boy is arrogant......! If you don't eat the toast, do you want to eat the penalty wine?"

Hum......

Listening to the words of the silver armor leader, I couldn't help but snort coldly, and said angrily: "It's you who are too arrogant! You dare to fight the idea of Phantom City, don't you know whose territory is here? If you want to die, you can commit suicide, it will not be painful!"

Looking at me coldly, the silver-armored general said in a low voice: "It seems that there is nothing more to say, today's matter, you and me, only one side can leave alive!"

No!

Bloodthirsty looked at the leader of the silver armor, and I said in a low voice: "You are wrong, since you dare to come to the Phantom City to make trouble, you should prepare for me, I can tell you clearly, no matter whether you can capture the Phantom City today, I will not let you live!"

Hum!

With a cold snort, the silver armor leader said disdainfully: "I think I've lived so big, and there are more people who want to kill me, but until today, I'm still alive and well, kid...... It's useless to just scare people with your mouth, no one cares about your intimidation!"

Intimidate?

He muttered a sentence in confusion, and then ...... I laughed and said, "Who has the intention to intimidate you, I'm just telling you a fact, I can tell you responsibly, tomorrow morning, a mission to recover you will be spread around the world's adventure unions, don't doubt me, I will pay 100 million to buy the lives of your entire group!"

Suck......

With my words, the crowd outside the city gasped in unison, and everyone knew very well that if someone really gave such an order, unless they left this thief group and hid far away, they would not be able to survive!

Hahaha......

I thought that the other party would be timid because of my threat, but to my surprise, after listening to my words, the silver-armored warrior actually laughed, and while laughing, he shouted: "Brothers, everyone heard it, Phantom City is really rich, what are you waiting for? Everyone attack me! As long as we grab enough money, let's change careers and become mercenaries!"

Roar!

With the roar of the silver-armored samurai, all the thieves got excited, huh...... As long as you have money, why continue to be thieves, let's change careers and become mercenaries!

Thinking of this, all the thieves became excited, followed the command of the silver armor leader, roared and we rushed over, looking at the rapidly approaching enemy, I couldn't help but bitterly find that it turned out to be ...... We don't even have any long-range defenses!

Call...... Call...... Call......

As the tide of enemies came, it suddenly ...... At the gate of the city, a colorful light flashed violently, and the thieves who rushed to the vicinity of the city gate suddenly suffered huge casualties under the suppression of the holy guards.

However, except for the city gate, there was not much long-range attack ability in other positions, but the thieves under the city pulled out their hard bows and shot at the city head, and after only one round of arrow rain, the slave soldiers at the city head suffered a huge wound!

Faced with such a situation, I couldn't help gritting my teeth and said angrily: "Everyone pay attention, leave the city wall immediately, avoid the rain of arrows, and listen to orders at any time!"

With the order, all the slave soldiers rushed back to the city wall along the passage, and at the same time, the wounded were helped to Yoyo, and for a while, Yoyo couldn't help but get busy, constantly treating the injured members......

Whoosh ......

Seeing that all the slave soldiers drove down the city one after another, my heart couldn't help but relax slightly, but the next moment, dozens of black ropes flew out of the city, and with a slight sound, a hook was tightly fastened on the city wall, and at the same time, it ...... Countless black shadows climbed up the rope towards the city!

In the face of all this, a kind of powerlessness dared to rise in my heart, it seems...... Today's casualties are inevitable, and I am to blame for all this, I am too careless, I shouldn't have taken no precautions at all!
