Many of Shadow Priest's skills are very useful, such as [Thought Stealing], [Mind Control], etc.
Last time at the Skrull Base in Lingwu Mountain, he used the [Mind Control] of the priest profession to achieve great success.
The only regret is that this fragment is not golden and cannot be taken out of the game.
If you have enough [Tina's Blood] in the future, you can consider plating it with gold.
Su Yu put the fragments into his backpack with satisfaction.
...
Up to now, the 40th ring mission of the Princess Line has been successfully completed, and the mission has entered the next stage.
The subsequent 41-44 ring tasks are roughly divided into two categories:
One category is Forest City's internal affairs, counting casualties, rescuing the wounded, requesting assistance from surrounding lords, carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work in the city, etc.;
The other is to deal with the threat of incoming rebels.
According to player surveys, the number of residents in Forest City dropped sharply from 500,000 to 95,000 after the disaster, and 80% of the residents died in the disaster.
The army gathered in Forest City also suffered heavy losses. The 500,000-strong army suffered nearly 200,000 casualties in the shock wave.
Coupled with the death of the Imperial Generalissimo [Charles Plantagenet] and a number of senior officers, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army was cut in half.
Of course, the two rebel leaders, Anzu Cypher and Randy Luce, would not let go of such a good opportunity and kept sending spies to Forest City to gather information.
After testing out the reality of Forest City, they immediately gathered their troops and prepared to launch a general attack on Forest City and completely capture the city.
As of the end of the 44th mission of the Princess Line, the 700,000-strong army assembled by the rebels has set off from Plantagenet City and is heading directly towards Forest City.
The momentum of the rebel army is rising, and the strong men who participated in the last high-level battle in Forest City have also joined the army, and their soldiers are unstoppable.
The morale of the Imperial soldiers was generally low, and pessimism spread among the army.
…
The mission comes to the 45th ring of the Princess Line.
In a palace in the west of Forest City.
This palace is the only palace in the city that was not reduced to ruins in the shock wave, and is used by Alijie as the city's headquarters.
In the large conference room of the palace, a highest-level military strategy meeting was being held.
Princess Alijie was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, her face looking slightly haggard.
It has been half a month since the last high-level battle between powerful men.
In these half months, Alijie took over all the important military and political affairs of the empire, doing everything by hand, and barely managed to bring the empire back from the edge of hell.
But what troubles her most is the coming rebels.
A huge military deployment map hangs on the wall on the side of the conference room.
The "red" symbolizing the empire's forces on the map is huddled in several large cities such as Forest City and Pearl City; while the "blue" symbolizing the rebel forces not only occupies most of the empire, but has also assembled an army towards Forest City.
Go ahead.
The empire was almost at a critical point of life and death.
Sitting on the conference table in front of the princess were important military and political officials from the empire, and three seventh-level powerhouses including Royal Mage Shalan were also present.
Of course, Su Yu was also there, and his position was relatively forward, sitting on the right hand side of the princess.
"Everyone."
After the meeting began, the princess crossed her fingers to her lips and looked seriously at everyone present: "Now that the rebels have officially set out, do you have any good suggestions? Lucas, you go first."
Lucas is the most senior general in the army. After the death of Generalissimo Charles Plantagenet, he served as interim Marshal of the Empire.
"Your Royal Highness." Lucas stood up and bowed slightly towards the princess: "My suggestion is still the same as before - retreat. We lead the army to retreat to Oran City. Oran City is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of the narrow mountain roads.
, can stop the rebels from advancing."
After hearing what Lucas said, several generals sitting at the end of the conference table expressed their opinions:
"I think so."
"Yes, it is better to retreat now."
"Your Royal Highness, given the current situation in Forest City, we will definitely not be able to defend it."
Alijie's expression remained unchanged. She looked at Su Yu beside her: "What do you think, Nemesis? Should we withdraw our troops and abandon Forest City?"
After hearing Alijie's question, Su Yu sat up straight.
He thought for a while and answered cautiously: "I agree with the opinions of several generals. I also think that leading the army to strategically transfer to Oran City is the best choice."
After hearing Su Yu's words, all the generals present breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew how much weight Su Yu's words held for the princess. The princess basically obeyed Su Yu's words. One sentence from Su Yu was more effective than ten sentences from all of them combined.
How else to say that "pillow wind" is the scariest thing?
"But-" Su Yu's tone suddenly increased.
Along with Su Yu's tone, the hearts of the generals present were also raised.
The generals' hearts that had just fallen were immediately lifted into their throats, and pairs of eyes stared at Su Yu.
Su Yu's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said: "We can withdraw our troops, but we have to think about what we are going to do after we withdraw.
We went to Oran City not to find a place in peace, but to finally defeat the rebels, regain the territory of the empire, and let the people live a happy and stable life.
So in the process of withdrawing our troops, we must think most carefully about our next move."
"Nemesis, have you thought of any good ideas?" Alijie cast an attentive look at Su Yu.
"That's right." Su Yu nodded: "I think we need to use new weapons."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he took out a weapon from his backpack and slapped it on the long table in the conference room.
In an instant, all eyes in the conference room were focused on Su Yu's hands.
This weapon is not a gleaming blade, but a long thing that looks like a fire stick.
But upon closer inspection, this is not a fire stick. The front end of the weapon is not made of wood, but an iron pipe.
If there is a player here, he will definitely be able to recognize what this weapon is at a glance. Because this is a flintlock gun! Everyone in Blue Star is familiar with it.
However, the senior officers of the empire present did not know each other very well, and many of them cast doubtful glances at Su Yu.
As the oldest veteran among the officers, Lucas seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Is this a musket from the Dwarf Kingdom? I seem to have seen it once before."
Su Yu nodded: "Yes, this is a musket, and it is an upgraded version of the revolver - a flintlock gun. Currently, my territory can produce this kind of weapon."
The science and technology tree in Su Yu's territory is very powerful. In the later stages of scientific research, even [Doomsday Mecha] can be produced. The production of some ordinary firearms is naturally a piece of cake.
Now his territory has just been promoted to the [city] stage, and [military science] has just been selected in the military. It can mass-produce flintlock rifles, and it is not far away from developing rifled rifles.
Of course, Su Yu must make use of such a good thing, produce it in large quantities, export military products, and develop the territory's characteristic military industry.
The military industry is a hugely profitable industry. Using this as a breakthrough, he can earn a lot of psychic coins from NPCs.
