Leaving aside the demon-hunting spiders that have not yet been fully bred, the strongest mercenary unit in Liu Yifei's hands is undoubtedly the vampire army!
There are more than 5,000 third-level vampires and above. Even if a regiment of fifth-level elites and a blood prince are separated by a little assassin, they can still barely form a full army and a special operations brigade.
In particular, the fifth- and sixth-grade mixed vampire special operations brigade, which Liu Yifei made into a "heavy-armed assault brigade", combined with the powerful heavy armor equipment made by dwarf craftsmen, is capable of confronting an equal number of fifth-grade, medium- and high-grade biological troops.
Maybe~
After all, with the leadership of the top vampire prince, the vampires' survivability and combat effectiveness have nearly doubled...
This time he sent troops to the southern border, especially after seeing that fighter planes were rare, Liu Yifei made urgent mobilization and gathered back all the original vampire permanent troops in Plague City that had been scattered under the command of various allies, and stretched the existing vampire troops he had on hand to two columns.
The total number of troops is 6,000!
These two vampire armies are fully formed, led by two vampire princes, and each cooperates with several spiritual heroes to protect and command along the way. In the past few days, they have been haunting the southern border of Xeris Fortress, specializing in attacking, killing and sneaking in on both sides.
The elf player.
If there are enough elf player troops with enough strength and strength, it will be troublesome to naturally choose to break through and infiltrate from the front. Firstly, it can speed up the accumulation of military achievements, and secondly, the distance is much shorter~
Although these people eventually became prey for the NPC border guards, they were still considered a fairly powerful or confident group of players.
In addition, other elven players, such as a group of hundreds or a small army of more than a thousand people, mainly choose to avoid the frontal battlefield and enter from the outer edges of Solna's east and west borders.
Since the southern border of Ptolemy has become a temporary occupation area of the elves, this road is obviously much safer than the route east of Solna adjacent to the Eastern Great Plains, so it has really attracted many players to try to sneak across.
But in this way, everything ended up being advantageous to Liu Yifei!
Of course, the NPC troops also arranged a certain number of border guards on the side, but the number cannot be compared with the main position in the southern border. They mainly ambushed a considerable number of small reconnaissance troops to monitor the Ptolemaic Kingdom in the western border at all times.
The regular elven army moves eastward to prevent dragons or Pegasus knights from suddenly crossing the border and attacking Solna in dangerous places.
As for the Elf players in this direction, more than half of them eventually achieved Liu Yifei's gains...
Nowadays, Liu Yifei's large military achievements come from two directions: first, the military merit sharing rewards obtained by commanding operations, and second, the supply difference earned.
Compared with killing a monster, killing a player directly obtains a military merit reward of 100 points. The two, three, or three or five points that the reward is divided into are definitely not enough.
But the terrible thing is that Liu Yifei now has too many soldiers "under his command"!
He doesn't even have to bother to run out and command the battle. He just needs to arrange the campaign missions. By allowing players to freely complete missions and kill monsters and enemies, his military merits will increase by hundreds or even thousands almost every moment!
When the size of the army reaches millions, when there are more players and opponents fighting with it every moment, and when the two sides are constantly fighting around the national border, the rate of increase in military merit has exceeded everyone's expectations.
!
On the other hand, the growth momentum of supplies is equally amazing!
Even compared to actually killing enemies in combat, the "profit" earned by controlling supply lines is several times higher!!!
Although he had expected from the beginning that the exchange of military supplies would bring him huge profits, Liu Yifei still seemed a little unprepared when this staggering amount of wealth, which was almost equivalent to a windfall from heaven, came to him~
To this end, Liu Yifei also deliberately removed some girls from the Star Wars mercenary group who were average in strength but obedient and attentive to help sort out detailed information on supply consumption.
For example, they classify the vast supply of supplies into specific categories, and then make statistics on which specific types and types of supplies are the most "best-selling" and have the greatest demand from players. The level of strictness, even to the extent of, for example, certain medicines, they are specifying.
Calculate which specification the player chooses is more [for example, there are three types of invincible potions: large, medium, and small, and the invincibility time provided by the peer is different]!
There are probably more than twenty girls in charge of this work. Since Lone Hunter Doll cannot go to the front line to fight directly with elven mercenaries or even players, she is now mainly responsible for these things every day [If you participate in the war, please refer to the original blood for the consequences.
Lan's performance among the Talou tribe was to lose the country's prestige and eventually turn into a traitor].
Each of these people pay Liu Yifei a "salary" of 30,000 to 40,000 military merits every day. However, compared with their contributions and the room for improvement in military merits, this is just a drop in the bucket~
Under the astonishing pace of consumption that requires large-scale purchases of supplies several times a day, Liu Yifei's net profit has grown rapidly, and has even reached an astonishing amount that can be exchanged for two or three third-level territories!
If Liu Yifei really exchanged the third-level territory and then "sold" it...
Then I’m afraid the actual United Coin income can exceed 10 million!
And this amount of money... is just what Liu Yifei earned in the past few days~
Anyone who knows Liu Yifei’s current “profitability” ability is secretly terrified!
To be honest, such "profitability" is inseparable from the strict "power lord" control method and extremely high game difficulty of the game itself, but even if Liu Yifei occupies a large number of opening advantages...such a speed of making money
It’s really amazing! Even Tower Shield admitted that he has never seen a war game with such a huge profit margin...
Of course. If Liu Yifei likes it, he can actually spend a large amount of military merit to directly exchange it for himself a super powerful army.
There is no point in just doing this~
At present, his supply capital is still a bit weak. It is still difficult to fully meet the battlefield supplies that may reach tens of millions of people in the future, and more working capital is needed.
Moreover, the mercenaries exchanged are strictly speaking only the kingdom's army and can only be used in this battle. Once the battle is over, all mercenaries must be returned, and the player will only receive an additional military merit conversion reward~
In contrast, Liu Yifei is more willing to use his mercenaries to train in battle.
After the second "Storm Fortress" promised to Liu Yifei by Toradre was built, Liu Yifei's current troop quota has been greatly increased, especially the third-level undead. Because the recruitment speed is also faster, a large number of dead have accumulated in Plague City.
The spirit is in urgent need of military merit injection and improvement.
Compared with vampires, it is more difficult to improve the undead, but their value seems to be indelible. This is where Liu Yifei has a headache right now.
After the undead have reached their basic level, use military merit to directly smash them down to help them advance...
Seems like a good idea~
But the demand for this military merit is too huge! Not even Liu Yifei dared to spend such a cost.
Third-level undead are mid-level soldiers. A promotion from first to fifth level costs 5,000 military merits, and from fifth to eighth level costs 10,000!
If everything goes well, basically one Death God or Soul Judge will be an investment of 50,000 military merit!
And right now, just counting the number of undead troops Liu Yifei has on hand... it has reached nearly 7,000! If you also include the number of undead mercenaries under the entire Plague Alliance, it will simply exceed 10,000!
This requires nearly 500 million military contributions!!!
Don't say Liu Yifei can't afford it. In fact, any organization below the national level cannot afford such an astonishing consumption in a short period of time!
What Liu Yifei can do is to select some of the high-level undead spirits from these undead spirits and smash them into fifth-grade "earth-bound spirits" first.
Through Huo Huangquan's careful exploration before, the rules for advancing from third-level and fifth-level earthbound spirits to sixth-level have been overcome by the Plague Alliance.
Taking the control route to become a "devourer" requires a lot of cannibalism or internal consumption. Liu Yifei estimates that it is either a crazy investment of money or a "civil war" with a country in the same clan that is suitable for the birth of a large number of devourers.
.
Only by killing a large number of soldiers of the same type can the Earthbound Spirit be further promoted to a higher level of Undead.
This is a cost that Liu Yifei cannot afford at the moment, so he can only change his route~
Promote the earth-bound spirit to a sixth-level "ghost"!
The required conditions for this are to "lay down" and choose a recruitment point for the second-level corpse-type troops such as "Cemetery" to let the earthbound spirits "enter the ground" for 48 hours, and then they will be promoted to ghosts. Of course, the basic 10,000 points
Military merit is also essential ~
Liu Yifei and the others have learned through experiments that a standard first-level cemetery can only provide up to ten earth-bound spirits to "enter the ground". On this basis, every time the cemetery level increases, it can accommodate five additional earth-bound spirits to enter the ground.
Liu Yifei has a total of five level five cemeteries [there are three cemeteries in Plague City and two in the newly completed Storm Fortress], which can cultivate a hundred earthbound spirits at a time. In addition, the entire Plague Alliance controls
The cemetery resources below can probably support about 70 additional earthbound spirits, which means that 170 "ghosts" can be raised every two days. This is already the limit of the entire alliance's capabilities~
For this reason, Liu Yifei spent 5.1 million military exploits every two days...
This is already Liu Yifei's limit!
Even in order to support these "ghosts", Liu Yifei somewhat affected the cultivation of the Corpse Witch Legion that had been planned for a long time~
However, I have to say that the value of the undead army is still there. Especially when facing the middle and low-level corps below the top level of the middle-level, the organic death god and soul judge almost have a terrifying power that is no less than that of the vampire army!
Five million military merits will be spent in two days...
As of today, the second batch of Earthbound Spirits have "laid down", which means that Liu Yifei has spent at least 10 million military merits in just a few days!!!
Damn it~
In the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, Liu Yifei is so extravagant that he can spend "tens of millions" on things?
Even though the cost was not money, but just a numerical value called "military merit" in the game, it still made Liu Yifei feel restless all the time these days.
If all the newly cultivated ghosts die accidentally, it will really be the loss of grandma’s family...
But it’s okay~
The strength of the first batch of ghosts after "coming out of the nest" is already extraordinary. The sixth grade is even an advanced level of mid-level creatures. The values of basic attributes are gratifying, especially the talents of "spiritual creatures" are blooming, with a 50% chance.
It ignores physical attacks and can greatly weaken the damage of force attacks. It is extremely advantageous in the current battle with the Elf Archer Corps!
It's a pity that Liu Yifei doesn't have enough quantity in hand, otherwise he would have the idea of attacking the enemy elf shooter's station~
After the soldiers left the training hotbed, the next step was to arm themselves and go to the front line. Liu Yifei felt somewhat comfortable in this regard~
In terms of equipment, Wanwucheng is helping. Although the undead can only wear cloth armor, Liu Yifei also tries his best to wear armor that increases defense and reduces basic damage, so as to continue to improve the battlefield survivability of the ghosts.
Coupled with the command assistance of the undead heroes, he has finally started to make a profit in the past two days. He can earn Liu Yifei several thousand more military merits in about a day. [This refers to Liu Yifei's personal increase in command and military merits.
Of course, you will accumulate more. At this point, you can basically be self-sufficient in the military requirements for advancing to the seventh or eighth grade]...
The reason why Liu Yifei "abandoned the high and followed the low" does not mean directly cultivating fifth-level dark mages, but because even so far, they have not been able to successfully break through the "promotion blocking conditions" for fifth-level dark mage creatures.
Through the intelligence summary on the strategic map, everyone basically already knows that the fifth-level dark mage can advance into a powerful "corpse witch" creature.
The career trend is also divided into field control, the spell-based "Chaos Lord" and the violent killing-based "Corpse Witch Lord".
Needless to say, the Corpse Witch Lord has increased the basic attributes and killing capabilities of mercenaries such as Corpse Witches to the limit, and at the same time further increased the scope of the death cloud, making its power even comparable to that of powerful players of the same level.
Powerful Death Suspense!
In large-scale wars, especially when the enemy is charging intensively, the Corpse Witch Lord is definitely very useful, and the lethal firepower it can provide is amazing~
However, what Liu Yifei cares about most is the "Lord of Chaos" from another route!
Unlike pseudo-magic units like "Soul Judge", whether they are top-notch undead or vampires, they can only master a very small amount of innate skills. Once formed, the amount of magic can no longer be changed~
The biggest difference of "Chaos Lord" is the unique "growability" of the most powerful fifth-level top spellcaster among mid-level creatures!
In addition to the magic that comes with them naturally, the Chaos Lords have been able to gradually master the new magic that the Lord has authorized them to learn at a slow speed just like players!
In this way, it is equivalent to a group of real spell-casting units in the army of the undead lord, and coupled with the particularly powerful "summoning undead", "dominance enslavement", "mental intimidation" and other natural spells, each
A mature Chaos Lord is a powerful war unit comparable to a small army!!!
However......
Not to mention the promotion conditions for the "Lord of Chaos" series that Liu Yifei dreamed of, they have not yet found the promotion path for the "Lord of the Corpse Witch", which means that the growth potential of the dark mage mercenaries has been abolished. In comparison,
Under the circumstances, Liu Yifei is naturally more willing to invest in the equally valuable third-level undead that has figured out the conditions for promotion.
And this point is actually quite depressing~
Originally, in peacetime, what everyone lacked was a large amount of military merit and huge supplies to support various experiments and explorations. Although these conditions were available during wartime, they no longer had the time to leisurely hide in their lair, conduct experiments, and accumulate strength.
~
Liu Yifei and the others are either busy fighting or preparing supplies, and the entire Plague Alliance is desperately trying to provide support to the front line. Where are the trustworthy people who have the ability and leisure to do these things?
As a last resort, Liu Yifei could only spend a sum of military merit in exchange for a regiment of [500] fifth-order and fifth-grade corpse witches. They temporarily served as fire support for the mercenary group and are currently wandering on the border with the ghosts.
Accelerate the accumulation of military merit by hunting the wandering players of the elves...
[As long as players pass the test in large-scale wars, they can indeed lead troops to fight. If a player like Liu Yifei controls the test, even the test can be avoided~
But the problem is that exchanging military power requires a lot of military merit, and during the war, the units killed by mercenaries still add military merit to themselves, and players can still only earn a command share.
When the military strength is finally returned, the system will recover the military strength at a discount ranging from 50% to 20% off.
In other words, if the player is not strong enough or has bad luck, he may not necessarily make money. Even if a large number of casualties occur, he may not even be able to get back his money in the end~
Adhering to the consistent method of exploiting players by the NPC class, this is actually a means for the NPC class to accumulate military power~
Deduct a sum of military merit and lend troops to the player. The merit of killing the enemy is still counted as military strength, allowing the player to earn a share of the command. When it is done, the troops will be taken back~
Although some discounts will still be given to players in the end, as long as the troops do not lose too much, the military merit earned by the troops themselves is enough for the NPCs~
However, in order to ensure the combat capabilities of the regular army, we generally only provide military power exchange at levels below mid-level and mid-level.
In short, the inherent great lords and even kings of the NPC class are very greedy and will not let players take advantage of them]
It is under this strict and complicated old system that Liu Yifei is struggling hard with his little accidental access to authority~
It must not only satisfy the accumulation and progress of its own strength, but also ensure that the entire Free Corps has sufficient supplies and command.
It can be said.
Although Liu Yifei has indeed made a lot of money recently...it can even be said that he makes a lot of money that makes people jealous!
However, all this is not without cost~
What he carries on his shoulders is the admiration and admiration of countless Free Corps players, and even all the players in the entire Kingdom of Solna~
What he carries on his shoulders is the hope and pressure of the players in the entire southern border of Solna and the front line of fire!
And once he fails...
Maybe he will completely fall into the endless abyss!
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat or capsize it. Once the group he originally admired is disappointed or even disgusted, then basically Liu Yifei's road will come to an end~
However, there are always so many people who want to see him shattered to pieces, and they are even actively planning for this moment!
Just four days after the attack on Ptolemy, something finally happened in Solna...
The war in Ptolemaic territory has been slowly continuing in a "strange way" that is surprising and even despised by countless people.
After the elven army occupied almost a fifth of the Ptolemaic border, with the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, the elven forward troops continued to advance, and at the same time, the main battlefield force moved from the west of Ptolemy to the east of Ptolemy.
....that sensitive fire line adjacent to Solna!
Due to the "grapevine information" he received from Toradere, Liu Yifei looked at these superficial phenomena much more deeply than others!
It can be said that at this point, the Elf army has obviously begun to prepare for the subsequent transfer to Solna~
However, apart from Liu Yifei who knew it well, there were also some very smart people who began to analyze this strange "offensive" of the elves on the forum!
And the conclusion they finally came to... was that the elves might use Ptolemy to attack Solna!
Liu Yifei really admires these people and has nothing to say!
He himself had received the news in advance, and these people were actually able to guess it by analyzing the battle situation... Although due to Liu Yifei's previous successful prediction, there has recently been a wave of predictions about the battle situation on the forum, not only
It is the "Elf War" in the southwest of the continent, and even the "Magic War" in the northern part of the continent that has not yet been eliminated is being made wildly by more and more people, wondering where the NPCs will attack in the future...
.
And it seems to be to verify the guesses of the ghost players~
Before the regular army of the elves moved, the players who joined the battle as free people finally moved first!!!
A large number of elven players who were originally mixed in the Ptolemaic battlefield took advantage of an opportunity for the army to divert. They got rid of the constraints of the NPC army and suddenly passed through several dangerous areas between Ptolemy and Solna.
They sneaked into the two places of Bone Swamp and Mortar Field, and a flexible group of small size sneaked into Solna!
Then, after a short period of joint preparation, an elven player regiment of more than three million people actually succeeded in taking down two Solna undead towns not far from their preparation location, near the middle of the Solna Kingdom.
The location of the region has found the "base area"!
Fortunately, one of the two small towns occupied by elf players was an open territory open to players, so someone immediately broke the news on the forum, saying that a large number of elf players in the north of xx city in xx had attacked, causing the players to
Everyone go and help~
These two small towns are close to the central and western part of the entire Kingdom of Solna. Less than two hundred miles to the northeast, they are deep in the hinterland of Solna. Therefore, compared to the raging war on the front line, it is relatively quiet here.
Much~
The information about the attack on this place was also immediately learned by countless players who were still stranded in the central area of the Kingdom of Solna, and then a conflict between the two groups of players called "Burning" broke out!
Because of various reasons, such as hating war, not having confidence in one's own strength, or just not liking the PVE game environment. I just want to stay quietly behind to farm monsters, play dungeons, and complete quests.
Something like that~
In short, no matter what, even though Solna has issued a national mobilization order to mobilize all players' forces, nearly half of Solna's players are still stranded in the rear and have not participated in the frontline battle.
However, if these people don't go, it doesn't mean they are unpatriotic, nor does it mean they can endure the brutal attacks of elven players!
Before the outbreak of the all-out war, some people had imagined that this time might be just a large-scale conflict between two NPCs~
Is it possible that everything will settle down again after a while?
However, now they no longer need to look at the fate of the distant foreign country called the "Land of Mercury" to the north of the mainland. Just next door to Solna, in Ptolemy's country, which is like a neighbor, what is currently happening
Everything has exceeded the limit that Solna players can bear!
Every day, a large number of "occupied zone" videos shot by elf players are uploaded to the elf forum, which further motivates the elf players to join the war, and in turn is a blow to the morale of the ghost players!
Until now, even the Ptolemaic Kingdom has not launched a "battle of recovery". The entire kingdom is as motionless as a real dead man. Even after the enemy has entered the gate of the kingdom and is about to point its troops to the hinterland of the kingdom, the entire NPC
The class was quiet, as if they were collectively asleep, not even a single fart was heard~
And this has even become a big reason for elf players to laugh at ghost players recently!
Once the two groups of players start a war on the forum, players from the Elf side will immediately jump out and ridicule, saying, "Your majestic king of a country has not moved, and you boring shit is over there."
What's the word?" or something like that~
And in this case, it has recently become a shame for the ghost players, especially the players of the entire Ptolemaic Kingdom!!!
The home was destroyed. There was no way to take revenge. Even the NPC forces showed no signs of resistance...
How could the players of Solna allow their country to suffer a similar fate?
At this moment, let alone the elven players rushing in, even if the regular army of elves came in, they would have no choice but to fight to the death!!!
Countless players shouted. They put down everything they were busy with, rushed to the surroundings of these two small towns at their own expense, and then launched spontaneous recapture battles again and again!
However......
In the end, almost everyone became the dead souls of the elven players...
When the news broke, an army of elven players was besieging the border town on the undead side.
Although the small town has requested reinforcements from the superior city, and the local bone dragon group has been dispatched.
But what is surprising is that this million-strong elf player army actually has an astonishing number of dragons!!!
And they are all green dragons at the level of the regular army, around the seventh-level mid-level!
Although the scale is only a few hundred, it is enough to suppress the firepower of a small city-level city defense army!
The siege battle concluded the peripheral resistance part at a stunning speed.
After the enemy used the power of the dragon to forcefully crash into a section of the city wall, a tidal wave of players rushed into the small city, overturning the numerically weak city defense army almost in the blink of an eye.
Although the superior lords brought people over to support them, the battle situation had deteriorated and it was almost impossible to crush the opponent's siege troops on the spot~
Therefore, the final result was the helpless retreat of the NPC general...
And in this battle to defend the city, almost none of the first batch of players who had sufficient financial resources and could afford the huge teleportation fees were able to escape from the city...
The raging war in the city has not been extinguished, and the players who arrived later began to gather through the outer city teleportation array~
However, they made the same fatal mistake as the elf players who fought Liu Yifei before!
That is, they did not have a unified command, and the crowd did not even rush in together~
There are probably no less than two million Solna players who have participated in the battle!
Although he is still not as good as the opponent, at least the gap is still within the acceptable range, and it is not to the point where he is unable to fight back after being beaten by the enemy~
If this group of people can gather together and form a surging river to rush over, even if they still lose in the end, at least they will not be defeated easily~
However, in fact, due to the lack of manpower to dispatch and command, the players on the Elf side relied on the defense of the city to completely defeat this endless stream without spending a single soldier. It was like a gurgling stream, but there was no charge at all.
An army of capable players~
Everyone in the Solna Kingdom was shocked. Countless people posted on the forum asking Liu Yifei to "return troops for rescue"!
If these two small cities are not saved, the country of Solna will be in danger of destruction!
Faced with such a "request", Liu Yifei frowned strangely, like an old hunter who has been hunting for many years smelling something strange in the woods... It was almost an intuitive feeling.
It feels like Liu Yifei can’t explain clearly, but it just feels like he shouldn’t take action this time...
However, at this moment, can he really not take action... When everyone's hope and dependence have become the norm, when everyone's expectations of him have become a "requirement",
It seems that Liu Yifei has no choice for a long time...
