The handsome tent is very simple. Except for a large chair covered with white-fronted tigers, which looks like a general's tent, the rest of the tent looks like an ordinary barracks tent.
General Don was sitting on a chair made of fir wood, with a thick stack of documents piled on the table in front of him.
"Young Lord Baron, I'm glad to meet you again. Do you have anything to do with me!!!" Gordon stroked the beard on his chin and said unhurriedly.
"Respectable general, I'm here to ask for your help!!!" I didn't beat around the bush. Facing an NPC of this level, it's better to tell the truth.
"Help? Tell me, what kind of trouble have you encountered? For Luo Feng's sake, I think as long as I can do it, I will agree to it!!" Since I saved his nephew Luo Feng,
Therefore, Gordon's closeness with me is relatively high, and before I could tell him my purpose, he had already expressed his efforts to help me.
"Not long ago, my team acquired the territory on the wild plateau. After a period of construction, it has now officially submitted an application to the Royal City to upgrade the territory to a city. According to the usual practice, after the territory is successfully upgraded to a city, it will be tested by the Supreme God.
, when the time comes, there will be wild monsters around the territory to attack the city, and your current garrison position happens to be at the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountains. If you move it a little, you will..." I explained the cause and effect in detail,
When I came to the next key question, I stared at the expression on Gordon's face, trying to figure out something from his face, but I was disappointed. Until I finished speaking, Gordon kept stroking it with his hands.
The beard on his chin didn't even move.
"You want my people to protect you from the wild monsters coming down from the Dragon Bone Mountains???" Gordon didn't beat around the bush, he just hit the point of my conversation in one sentence.
"Uh, yes, General!!" Although I was a little unsure, I still said it bravely.
"This is not impossible, but what are the benefits? The Supreme God will never allow any unearned behavior to occur in the Oath Continent. Everything has a price!!" Gordon stared at me like a hawk, unintentionally revealing his words.
The unique coercion of a superior person makes me a little uncomfortable.
"The good thing is that in the future, the Royal City will have another city, and the tax revenue to the Royal City will be more!!" Although I was a little confused, I still adhered to the bottom line. I am the best at negotiating with NPCs, and I started blindly.
The conditions are very unwise. The best way is to talk about other things and guide the NPC to tell his bottom line.
"What you said is necessary. Even if you don't ask me for help, you still have to do it. What I care about is what can I get? In other words, what benefits can our Red Maple Legion get?"
Dun didn't take the bait, damn it.
Seeing that the previous method didn't work, I had to worry and said: "General, I don't know which aspect you are more interested in? As long as we can ensure that our city can block monsters from attacking the city, everything is easy to say."
Seeing my compromised tone, Gordon revealed a treacherous smile that didn't match his rugged face.
"Actually, what I'm interested in is very simple, that is power, or authority. As long as you hand over the supreme command of the city to me in wartime, then I will help you block at least 80% of the siege monsters in the direction of Dragon Bone Mountain Range!
!”
"Supreme commander-in-chief??" When I heard this term, my heart sank.
The supreme command power is an authority that only the lord has. In other words, after the territory is upgraded, only the city lord has the authority. In a state of war, he has the power to arrange and command all friendly NPCs in the city. The main function of this authority is
The objects are NPC soldiers produced by the barracks, and there is no compulsory binding force on the players. However, the NPC soldiers are the private soldiers of the city lord who guard the city. They are only responsible to the supreme commander. If I transfer the authority, it will be equivalent to during the war.
The soldiers in my city no longer belong to me, but have temporarily become part of the system, which is equivalent to increasing the combat power of the NPC army at the expense of the player's resources and gold coins.
"This..." I couldn't accept this question, and my face was full of embarrassment.
"What? You don't agree?" Gordon asked, looking straight at me.
"At most, it's a secondary command! This is the bottom line! If it doesn't work, forget it!!" I gritted my teeth and just took a gamble. The secondary command meant that in the war, after I died in the battle,
He will temporarily take over the NPC troops. As long as I am careful, Gordon will have no chance to interfere!!
"Deal!!!" To my surprise, Gordon didn't hesitate at all. As soon as I said the last word, Gordon immediately accepted it. For a moment, I seemed to have the illusion that I had been fooled.
Logically speaking, Gordon is an intelligent NPC, and he is not from the same world as the player. Even if some unknown events happen in the future, he should not have the energy to abandon his troops and come to me as a commander, but now that it has been brought up
, thinking and analyzing from an outsider's perspective shows that there was such a corresponding branch option when the planner compiled the game development process, but now everyone is still in the dark and does not know in which direction the game process will develop.
To play games, you need to have the awareness of a game planner. If you can understand the original intention of the game planning team when planning the game, it will be very helpful to grasp the game process. However, this is only a theoretical situation. After all, planners are mostly creative and unconstrained.
Thinking is very quick. Although the chance of completely guessing the task is low, you must at least know how to use this perspective to think about problems. If you catch it once or twice occasionally, you can get good benefits.
"I keep my promise and will help you block the siege monsters that appear in the direction of the Dragon Bone Mountains. However, the Supreme God also has restrictions. I can only try to block flying creatures for you but I cannot guarantee the effect. Sporadic land creatures pass through my defense line.
It’s also normal!” Gordon said.
I said: "Of course!! Just try your best!!!"
...
The goal was achieved. I didn't stay too long. I said hello to Gordon and left. In a flash, I used the lord's authority to teleport back to the territory hall.
At this moment, there are less than two hours before the territory upgrade is completed, and the city has begun to take shape. The thick city wall and the gate made of hundred-forged black gold have been replaced, and the craftsmen of the territory are nervously doing the final finishing work.
.
At Sunset's request, a giant observation tower was built behind the territory hall, dozens of yards high. In order to build such a thing, the craftsmen in the guild emptied most of the building materials from the guild warehouse.
At this moment, Sunset and all the ally leaders were standing on the observation deck, and I climbed up the stairs.
I have to say that it is really good to stand high and see far. From the observation deck, it is almost like sitting on Xiao Hei's back. Except for the blind spot of a few yards at the base of the city wall, the entire territory is surrounded by
All the city walls are in full view, no matter how far or near, if there is any disturbance, everyone will be able to detect it immediately.
After I came up, Sunset was making the final arrangements for the division of labor. Everyone knows that helping to defend the city is a waste of money if handled properly, because the experience value of siege monsters is calculated three times, and the benefits do not go to outsiders. Of course, these benefits are allocated to those with the closest relationships.
ally.
Except for our guild members, Flower Protector, Bloody Rose, Flaming Red Lips, and the seven or eight medium-sized guilds who still stayed with us until the end of the last territorial battle. These close allies have been arranged by Sunset to the best of their ability.
on the position.
What, you ask where is the best location? The answer is actually very simple, widen, heighten and strengthen the city wall.
The defensive capabilities of the city wall in the territorial state are limited. It is basically a wall that creates terrain obstacles. It is difficult for a person to stand on the narrow wall. But it is different now. The current city wall is more than ten yards wide, let alone a person.
, even running horses on it is no problem. The city wall close to twenty yards is the best output platform for long-range professions. It not only increases the shooting range, but also blocks the close combat of melee monsters. Coupled with the numerous arrow towers ubiquitous in the city,
Gaining experience isn’t enough.
The four walls and the gate in the middle of the four city walls are all guarded by the strongest guilds. Others can only be assigned to slightly more remote areas of the city wall. No matter how low-level they are, they can only be assigned to serve as a reserve team in the city.
Finally, there are the guilds like the wallflowers. They are arranged outside the city wall. Their function is, well, a human wall and cannon fodder.
Even as Sunset was busy making arrangements, there were still a steady stream of individual players coming out of the teleportation array. The first city defense battle since the launch of the game had already been hyped up in the forum. As long as the second transfer
Players all want to see what kind of formation this thing is. One after another, players appear in groups within the scope of the city defense battle.
Half an hour before the city upgrade ended, the latest statistical results came out. The number of players within a thousand yards of the territory map exceeded eight million, and it was still increasing. People inside and outside the territory had already become
In the ocean, if you just throw a brick, you can probably knock down several of them.
Half an hour later, a long-lost system prompt sounded.
Ding! Congratulations on successfully upgrading your sixth-level territory to a town!
Ding! The city upgrade is completed, and the first wave of monsters will attack the city in ten minutes. I hope the city owner is ready!
The second system prompt was received by all players within the map. Everyone was very excited after hearing the system prompt and seemed eager to try it.
Sunset is making final adjustments, focusing on matching various professions to perfection. Sometimes it is just a difference in position, and she has to personally direct and demonstrate. Her eyes are full of concentration and her meticulous demeanor. I don’t know how many people participated in it.
The cute girl who guards the city.
The ten minutes of preparation time passed quickly, and finally, the monster siege began.
