Chapter 16: Changing Thinking
Dragon League-2 sub-base, another joint base on the planet Titanos.
A man is standing on top of a watchtower looking into the distance.
At his feet, there were also endless Zerg attacking, but due to the complete energy defense cover system, the Zerg could only land outside the wall and attack with firepower.
Since it was a diversionary battle, it was not much of a threat to the Combined Base, so that the adventurer didn't care about the Zerg attack at all, and only focused on the war in the Platinum Mountains.
He was stunned.
"Zhu Yiping, what's going on over there?" asked a tall man who was firing at the wall.
“...... Didn't hit down. The adventurer on the watchtower replied dumbfounded.
"Haven't been defeated yet?" The fierce man below was a little incredulous: "How is this possible? The Zerg divided a quarter of their forces to fight them, and they didn't even have a defensive shield." ”
“...... The fact is that not only did it not take down, but even the brood was killed, and the Zerg attack on their side had begun to retreat. Zhu Yiping shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"What? a brood died, and the battle ended before we did?" everyone was stunned at the same time.
Under the attack of 150,000 zergs, it is still possible to kill a brood?
"Are there any casualties?" asked an older adventurer.
"There were a few dead soldiers, but there weren't many of them, and they used Terminators to protect them, and the robots were badly damaged. ”
"Just robots?"
A few adventurers were not convinced, and jumped to the watchtower to look out, and everyone was a little stupid when they saw the corpse of the brood on the ground that had been beaten into mud.
At this time, the fortress giant had finished transforming, and the adventurers who had been busy fighting before did not see the battle of the fortress giants due to the distance, but the witnesses had already filmed this scene.
Seeing the scene of the fortress giants making a big fuss, everyone was also a little speechless.
I had heard that the fortress giants of the Broken Blades were fierce and invincible, but now I realized their strength after seeing them with my own eyes.
The battle at the base continues, but it's just the final clean-up battle, and it doesn't have much meaning. Although the remaining Zerg seem to be raging and ferocious, shoveling the entire interior of the base to the ground, everyone knows that there is not much in this new base, and the real key is still the people, or those warriors, or the long-lasting wall - because the energy shield system has not been established, the current role of the wall cannot be played. After the energy shield system is completed, the Zerg can no longer enter the base to attack, so they can only fight hard against the city wall.
Therefore, as long as the warriors are still there, as long as the walls and forts are still there, the battle of the Broken Blades can be said to have successfully achieved their goal.
"What the. One adventurer muttered, "How did they get there?"
When they first saw Shen Yi's base, they knew that Shen Yi and most of them would not be able to hold the base.
Because they know one thing very well, the attack strength of the Zerg is closely related to the size of the base.
Under normal circumstances, an independent base of a six-person team would only be one-fifth the size of the base of the Broken Blade team, so the distribution of the Zerg's strength is generally about 30,000, and its threat is far less than now.
Even so, there are many who simply can't hold on.
The Zerg is not an ornament, not to mention the large number, the quality of individual soldiers is not low, only the adventurer himself is simply unable to resist, only relying on high walls and energy shields to defend, with a large number of turrets and system arms output is the king.
The role of adventurers is more to command battles, deal with powerful troops, and assist in defense and offense.
This is also the mainstream way of playing in the simulated world, only the emerging base will need personal strength to resist when the defense facilities are not perfect, or it is possible to defend it if it is built smaller, and the defense measures are fully perfected first.
As big as the Broken Blade team, it couldn't improve its defenses at first, not to mention, but it attracted five times as many attacks as usual.
Because of this, no one at all thought that the Broken Blades would be able to hold on.
But the Broken Blades did just that, they stood on their ground like a rock in the face of the raging tide of the Zerg, using their own firepower to replace the non-existent energy shield.
The countless ferocious attacks that fell on them alone were terrifying.
Someone roughly calculated, such a ferocious attack, he would hang up for half a minute at most, but the other party would kill and kill as if nothing happened.
How much defense does this have to take?
Being able to do this step can only mean one thing, that is, the strength of the other party is too strong!
Tough to pervert!
Also, how many generals in the simulation world can have more than 30% damage reduction?
The Broken Blade team made nearly 10 million earnings from the world, and more than half of it was used to improve survivability.
The damage of low-level bugs is usually only hundreds, and after more than 30% of the weakening, and then through the reduction of the existing defense, the real single damage caused is actually not high, most of them are only a few points, dozens of points.
The real trouble is that there are too many bugs, and it is almost useless to block and dodge in the bug tide, resulting in continuous damage.
This is completely different from the past, in the past, adventurers could be attacked three or five times a minute when there was enough room to maneuver, and here, they could be hit dozens of times a second.
But as long as there are enough potions and recovery powers, you will never die until you run out of ammunition.
At least this time, the fat man didn't have much chance to play his life-saving skills.
As for the fortress giants, although their invincible strength is enviable, their limited existence in the protracted battlefield also has its limits, coupled with the psychological preparation before, they are shocked by the terrifying defense of the Broken Blade Team.
"No wonder you dare to open such a big base. Onlookers sighed.
Now that the Broken Blade team has withstood this wave, there is a ready-made wall, and the next thing the Broken Blade Team has to do is to directly carry out the construction of energy converters and energy supply centers, and I believe that a relatively complete base will soon be formed, and its income will also increase greatly.
It's important to know that there's a big difference between expansion and start-up.
Initial construction is planned and built directly on flat land, and expansion means that many old things have to be abandoned.
The energy converters, energy supply centers, energy transmission towers, and even the various factories that were originally planned and placed had to be moved accordingly to form a better match, higher efficiency, and even the early walls were useless - the role of the walls was to combine with the energy shield to form a joint defense system. Once expanded, the value of the old fence will shrink significantly, and even hinder the development and construction of the interior, and some walls may be demolished, resulting in waste.
Therefore, if the initial construction is to build a new building on the ground, then the expansion is the demolition and reconstruction of the old house - the trouble of the latter is far greater than that of the former, and it requires more energy and capital investment.
If it weren't for this, Shen Yi would not have been able to draw such a large base at the beginning, what he was fighting for was not these few days, but that each round of expansion would bring a lot of additional engineering volume.
Five times the amount of construction at the beginning means that the problems that may arise from expansion can be ignored for a long time to come.
As long as the construction is completed, with the area of their territory, they can provide up to thirty energy converters, forming a production benefit equivalent to 200,000 points per day, which is unimaginable for most adventurers.
This scale is even at a later stage of development for some of the less powerful adventurers - it is likely that they will count on this last month of the year.
This made those adventurers envious.
"The question is what do we do now?" the fierce man asked: "The alliance leader has an explanation, go up to help at the critical moment, and strive to let them join our Dragon Alliance, now it's good, there is nothing to do with us?"
"There's no way around it, I can only tell Boss Ye and Boss Wei that people don't need us, we can do it ourselves. Another adventurer said.
The East Side is sighing, and the West Side is similar.
At the Purgatory Angel Base, Meryl is also watching the battle in the direction of the Broken Blade.
Compared to the Eastern Division, Meryl knows more about the strength of the Broken Blade team, and she is not surprised by this situation, but she is surprised by the strong defensive ability of the Broken Blade team.
Then she smiled and said, "Alfonso, it seems that your plan to earn holy water has failed." ”
"Hmph, barely resist it, it's not that you don't know those bugs, you always remember the losses you have suffered very well, but if you fail to beat the base for the first time, you must treat it well several times. There's always going to be a chance for me to make a move. Alfonso replied unconvinced.
However, he also knew in his heart that the attack of the insect tide had always been the most difficult to deal with the first time, and after passing the first level, it would be easier to pass later.
The Broken Blade team can block the 150,000 insect tide when the base is incomplete, and when the base is completed, it will be difficult for the Zerg to double again.
In addition to the East and West districts, there are others who have more complex ideas.
They were not just shocked, but more disappointed and calculating.
In the other four independent bases, there are also adventurers who are also watching the battle of the Broken Blades, holding intercoms in their hands to communicate with each other.
"I said, man, do you see? ”
"Well, that is, by giants. ”
"That can't be said, the insect tide is mainly resisting by themselves, and it is already very strong. ”
"And what about our plan?"
"What's the matter? I'm afraid of that? I admit that the strength of those guys is indeed perverted enough, but it is because of perverts that I can't give up. Don't forget that this is specially explained by Smack, they are strong, and Vientiane Palace is not weak. ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No matter how strong they are, they shouldn't have much strength left after fighting for so long, right? Mental power is exhausted, physical strength is exhausted, and potions are exhausted, which is the end of the strong crossbow, and if you don't kill them at this time, you won't have a chance. See? They have two ships, and that's the one they can take out! Just kill them, and the ships will be ours! I've contacted Smack, he's coming, and they don't have much of a chance. Besides, even if they can really survive, there is a high top when the sky falls, we just help wave the flag and shout, look at the feng shui, if they are unlucky, they will be the first unlucky of the Vientiane Palace, and it will not be our turn at any time. It's a big deal to get out and leave, and develop in a different place, can the Broken Blade team still hunt us down to the ends of the earth?"
"Taichai is right, you can't miss the opportunity!"
"Of course he said so, he's in the Southern District! The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, so I won't join in the fun!"
"Coward, stay here if you don't want to go, and follow me if you want to go!"
"If you miss this village, you won't have this shop, and if you want to get rich, you have to take risks!"
"I won't go, in case the killing is not successful, as long as one escapes, we will not be able to live in peace for the rest of our lives, this kind of person will kill a group of us one by one, this risk is not worth taking!"
"Another coward, we have so many troops, who else wants to go if he's a ball?"
"Hold the bold to death, starve the cowardly, Lao Tzu did it!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't go, they're fighting, is it that Lao Tzu is idle here? I don't have many troops, don't go to join in the fun, and besides, if there are too many people, you won't get any benefits, but those guys are dying and swooping, I'm afraid that I haven't lost much money." ”
A group of people were hustle and bustling to discuss whether to go or not.
After identifying the people who were going, the adventurer at the head shouted: "Okay, time is running out, if you are willing to go, quickly kill these insects and gather troops to prepare for the attack!"
―――――――――
The onlookers were shocked by the performance of the Broken Blade team, but Shen Yi was still reviewing himself.
The battle is still going on, and the casualty statistics have not yet been calculated, but just look at the entire base full of wreckage and endless corpses to know how big the losses this war has brought to everyone.
At the same time, Shen Yi finally understood the endless pain of building, destroying, building, and destroying again.
After a big battle, he didn't make anything, but smashed the facilities that he had exchanged for hundreds of thousands of points, and even Shen Yi himself couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This loss is too great, at least beyond the psychological tolerance range expected by Shen Yi.
With the strength of the Broken Blade team, they should not have suffered such a huge loss.
After all, I'm still a little ambitious.
After all, I still underestimated the Zerg.
He looked at the sky overhead, the four broods were flying away, and the Copernicus and Magellan were chasing after them.
Hong Lang shouted below: "Take me up and slaughter those broods!"
At this time, there are not many zergs left on the ground, Hong Lang's mind is no longer on the ground, but in the sky, he can fly himself, but after all, it is not as fast as the battleship.
"No!" Shen Yi said loudly: "Stop the pursuit, Michelle, Shirley, you guys come back too, don't chase anymore, keep patrolling in the air!"
"Why, sir, the brood is badly wounded, and I'm sure I'll kill it. "Michelle is also strange.
Shen Yi doesn't seem to be someone who will easily give up expanding the results of the battle.
As for the bugs on the ground, the remaining soldiers are more than enough to deal with.
Shen Yi replied: "I know, but I just reviewed my mistakes. During this time, we have indeed become a little arrogant, we have ignored the war mode of this world, and we are no longer adventurers who have no worries and can complete the mission as long as they kill the enemy. We have something to protect, and without a full base we simply don't have the power to fight those bugs...... It was my mistake, Michelle, and I don't want to repeat it. It's time to change your mind, at least in this world, in the beginning, it's more important to learn to defend yourself than to attack the enemy. ”
"Okay sir, I see, the battleship is back. "Two battleships flew back at the same time.
"Everyone concentrate on killing all the insects on the ground and end this battle once and for all!" Shen Yi had ordered loudly.
