The news of Liu Yifei's personal visit to the Fostel Basin was semi-blocked. Except for a few core management personnel, the rest did not recognize the famous person who had changed his appearance.
However, except for the news of Liu Yifei's personal visit, the other personnel transfers within the Plague Alliance were not deliberately hidden. With so many people talking, the news of the alliance sending additional troops to the New Dark City had already spread like wildfire.
What is the Plague Alliance?
That is a resounding golden sign in the game world! An undead terrorist organization that has long been famous all over the world!
If it weren't for the recent emergence of the "Anti-Cloud Alliance" that has a strong tendency to catch up, I am afraid that anyone, especially those with hostile relations, would think of the words "Plague Alliance" and the almost invincible terrifying vampires.
The legion couldn't help but feel two sides fighting, and they only regretted why they had to stand in front of this perverted monster~
As soon as the news spread that additional combatants from the Plague Alliance were sent to the New Dark City, especially after the name of the most powerful and perverted vampire legion under the Plague Alliance was included in the dispatch list, a commotion started in the Fostel Basin.
Quite a commotion~
After a long time, Liu Yifei didn't pay too much attention to the situation here in the Fostel Basin. Now when he came to take a look, he found that this place has become a situation where princes are competing for hegemony!
The entire Fostel Basin is about one-third the size of the Kingdom of Solna, and is roughly divided into four parts by the Yomo River, the Yinquan River, and the remnants of the Sighing Mountains in this area.
Only after arriving at this place did Liu Yifei discover that the Fostel Basin was a bit like the so-called "Central Fertile Land" in the custom battle map in the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
The so-called "Central Rich Land" refers to the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Each map often has one or two secret places that are difficult to reach through ordinary travel. Generally, you have to fly, tunnel or dimensional teleportation to enter.
This kind of place is not big, but it is extremely rich. There are usually many mineral deposits and a lot of roadside resources, treasures and even various visitable buildings with added attributes. Occasionally, you can see various biological treasure houses and even rare ones.
"The Kingdom of Dragons"!
In Invincible Heroes OL, there are no such things as roadside resources, but there are a lot of resources and mineral points here! Especially among them are stone mines, wood mines, iron mines, mercury, black iron mines! Sulfur
There are also gold mines. It has been announced that there are no less than ten small gold mines discovered by players! Even medium-sized gold mines with a daily output of a thousand gold coins have been found in three places. The small Fostel Basin is really
Gold everywhere, treasure everywhere!
Liu Yifei generally only attaches great importance to this place because the Plague City in his hands has already passed the primary territory stage that requires a lot of primitive accumulation to increase wealth.
As there are more and more craftsmen in the Plague City, Liu Yifei only needs to send more manpower to manage the labor recruitment situation in the territory, investigate the market, and allocate various resources. The income from the sale of his own property is enough for Liu Yifei.
His wallet is bulging, and he also has several gold mines, so his enthusiasm for such places is naturally average.
However, there is only one Liu Yifei in the world. Things that he is not interested in are held in their arms by others without even giving them a second glance.
Nowadays, although a small number of lord players are aware of the importance of "immigrant labor force" to the future development of the territory, some people in particular have already embarked on the path of "industrialized territory" and begun to rely on reasonable employment arrangements for labor and increase support for refugees.
Increase the level of attraction and cultivation to enhance the wealth of the territory.
But the vast majority of Lord players don't have such a high vision.
In their view, things like refugees and immigrants are only set by the system to limit the rapid advancement of everyone's territory. Although these low-level NPCs can also do some work, they still have to pay employment fees to let them work!
Damn it~
The cost of investment and construction in the territory is already huge, so we can save this money. Besides, the first and second level garbage mercenaries at home have nothing to do if they are left. The work efficiency is still high, so naturally they are sent out collectively for mining and construction. Who else will do it?
Are you trying to deal with these garbage NPCs?
This view is very common among many superficial lord players who are not very patient or still do not have a detailed and in-depth understanding of the game.
After all, no one expected that when playing a mere game, such things as market operation and building one's own economic environment would be seriously considered. Everyone thought that things like this were too professional and high-end. Who would have expected that a simple online game would be so popular in the world?
Have these internal affairs details gone so far?
As a result, most player lords can only rely on their own money to invest in the initial territory construction, which is why today, a fully built territory of two or three levels can easily cost five to six million, and the supply is always in short supply.
And a small number of lords who have neither established their own territorial internal affairs and economic system nor are unwilling to spend large sums of money have only the last option left, which is war and plunder.
War is always the best and fastest way to destroy enemies and plunder property.
And fertile places like the Fostel Basin are even more popular~
So even though this place has left the territory of the kingdom and is relatively more difficult to develop and more dangerous, player organizations of all sizes rush here almost every day in order to occupy a place here and then soar into the sky.
"Soaring into the sky?
Haha~
These people are really interesting. They don’t even look at how many corpses they have trampled under their feet. Do you think it’s so easy to reach the sky?”
Standing on a cliff, Luying Wuhen looked forward and smiled softly, chewing a piece of sour grass picked from somewhere in his mouth. He looked very comfortable.
There were several people standing next to him at this time, and few of them looked familiar based on their appearance.
But if the IDs of these people are exposed, Liuyun, the Last Dagger, and the Dark Lord are all well-known figures in the game! They are awesome people who will shake the world just by stomping their feet!
These people have all used disguise skills, and even changed their usual equipment into a set of "mall clothes" to cover up their appearance. Naturally, no one else will come to disturb~
And Liu Yifei took everyone to the top of the mountain, naturally not to see the scenery~
On the edge of the Yinquan River more than a thousand meters ahead, two groups of people were fighting fiercely! According to the Dark Duke, one side came from Garswood, and the other side came from Ptolemy.
There are about a hundred people in total, and the fighting is getting fierce right now.
"
Since the incident in Ptolemaic Territory, many players have begun to flee in groups. Many of them came to Solna, but more people chose to go to Garswood, which is relatively safer in the north.
Garthwood is originally a powerful nation in the undead camp, and its strength is not comparable to that of Solna and Ptolemy. Therefore, after playing for a long time, the player's sense of immersion is getting higher and higher. Players over there gradually began to look down on us.
of Erna and Ptolemy.
Fortunately for us, the players from Garswood are beating Ptolemy's people to death if they catch them. They say that these people are from the kingdom of soft-footed shrimps and are easy to bully. If they don't fight, they will be beaten in vain. Here
It was also a no-nonsense zone, and killing one's own people would increase military merit, so they went completely crazy and killed, and some groups of people fought every day. The fighting here was a mess."
The Dark Duke said indifferently.
As he said, the Fostel Basin is now a place of chaos.
Although the scale of the battle is not comparable to the NPC battles launched by the world's major clans, such as magic battles and ghost battles, the violence is even worse! I fight back and forth several times every day, and I feel it everywhere I go.
It's noisy.
But no matter how chaotic it is, it can't mess up his head.
who is he?
The Dark Lord!
One of the traditional allies of the Plague Alliance. The veteran "Plague Crowd"! A third-level territory was rushed out here in one breath, and only those with a brain can't stand it!
So despite the chaos of killing here every day, life in New Dark City is still quite comfortable. Two wood mines, three stone mines, one iron mine and one rare black iron are controlled in the area of influence.
Mine, I can earn a lot of money every day!
The Duke of Darkness saw that he was really behind the scenes. Liu Yifei really didn't deceive him or treat him badly, so why should we hesitate? He immediately invested another sum of money. He gave it to his territorial guards and some die-hards to follow him.
The players of the affiliated organizations have changed some equipment, and now they are the emperors in the Fostel Basin. They go out to open monster-killing dungeons and directly book the game!
Of course~
People give them the face of New Dark City because of the reputation of Liu Yifei and the Plague Alliance behind them. The players of New Dark City themselves can't go too far. They usually stay on their own land honestly. If they go out and cause trouble, there are many people here.
There are more forces, and if chaos really breaks out, it will be difficult for the Dark Duke to deal with it.
Apart from anything else, if anyone really thinks they are unhappy, they will bring their brothers to clean up the labor force at their various resource mines every day. In less than half a month, it is estimated that the Dark Lord and the others will have to mine by themselves.
So now the New Dark City has stopped its outward expansion, at least it is not planning to expand aggressively until it upgrades to the fourth-level territory, so as not to endanger everyone here and unite to fight against the people of the New Dark City.
"Yo~
So according to that, everyone here has a pretty good reserve of military merit?
Most of my brothers should have brought their pets, right?"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but asked with a smile after hearing what the Duke of Darkness said.
"Haha~
Boss Yun, you really guessed this time~
To put it bluntly, I think this may be the first place in our alliance to give pets to all our brothers!
Boss Yun, although you have many soldiers, generals, and talented people, you still have too many people under your command. I took advantage of you and was one step ahead of you this time~"
Calculated by grade, it is enough for the Dark Lord to be Liu Yifei's father. In the past, he was only called "Mr. Liuyun" or "Mr. Liuyun".
But since the last time he was in crisis, Liu Yifei had reached out to help him regardless of the cost. The Dark Lord felt his kindness and began to call him "Boss Yun". Although he felt a bit social, the relationship between the two was undoubtedly close.
After a while, Liu Yifei simply called him "Uncle Black."
"Oh? Then this can be considered an achievement, right?
It’s a pity that it’s inconvenient to travel here. You can only teleport to the northwest of Solna and walk here. Otherwise, if you invite all your brothers in the alliance to fight for a while, the progress will probably be faster~”
Liu Yifei looked at the great rivers and mountains in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with the undead forces, the Fostel Basin has gray-green vegetation. Although it is not as fertile and densely forested as the elves, it is still somewhat of a natural landscape. Compared with the bones and dead trees everywhere,
The realm of the undead is better than a fairyland. Walking around here at least makes people feel more comfortable, not as gloomy as sitting on a pile of bones all day~
"That's right! Pull everyone here! There are so many people in the Plague Alliance, and the army is strong enough! If they all come here, it won't be a big problem to wipe out the place, right?
Doesn’t it mean that there are many resources and copies here?
Wouldn't it be great to just take it all in one go?"
The green shadow next to him slapped his thigh fiercely, and said happily as if he suddenly realized something.
"Take them all?
Then what?
The place here is not small, if you really occupy it all, you wouldn't want to establish a country and become king, right?"
"I wipe it!
sure!
This place does not belong to the traditional power area, and the difficulty of upgrading the territory is much easier than in the alliance area. If it can be upgraded to a seventh-level city, it shouldn't be impossible to try to establish a small principality, right?
I heard that players in this game can really enjoy the right to found a country."
When the issue of Jianguo was mentioned, Lu Ying Wuhen became even more enthusiastic. When he said this, his eyes were filled with energy, as if he had won the first prize in a lottery ticket~
"you
Speechless~
Do you really believe me if I just say it casually?
Believe it or not ~
How dare you apply for the founding of the People's Republic of China on the front foot? How dare someone else's regular army open your door on the back foot?
Return to Jianguo
Stop being funny~
Since the three great kingdoms of Solna, Ptolemy and Garswood have not annexed this place, it means that there is something wrong with it. It may be a tacit understanding at the top. Anyway, this place belongs to the 'wilderness'.
If the official doesn't interfere, it doesn't matter what the players do.
But if you dare to create a sixth political power, your own king may not agree. At that time, I will give you a territory that is still in the country.
Eh~
That’s cool!”
Liu Yifei helplessly rolled his eyes at Lu Ying Wuhen and said with a headache.
“Then if we don’t build a country, what will happen?
To put it bluntly, things like the founding of a country are just a false name. It doesn't matter whether you want it or not.
But it’s better to occupy this space first, right?
Let me tell you. It is true that the resources are good, but the more valuable thing is the copy!
In the eyes of NPCs, this thing is redundant and cannot be used, but in the eyes of players, it is a gold mine, more profitable than gold mines!
If you have a ten-player book, how can you say that you can definitely get a few rare items? You can get excellent equipment if you get better ones! It costs several thousand to run out in a day, and it’s even thousands of gold. Isn’t it more convenient than mining for money?
Each team can earn such a high income. If this is planned, it can be developed in the entire Great Basin.
By the way, Boss Hei, how many copies are there in this place?"
Luying Wuhen said excitedly, turning around and asking the Dark Duke behind him.
“Ouch ouch~
Brother Wuhen, don’t make fun of me~
I dare to respond when someone calls me boss. Who am I to be the boss when you three are here?
You can call me Lao Hei or Darkness, but I'm really embarrassed to call you Boss~"
The Dark Duke waved his hands hurriedly.
"Haha~ That's okay. I'll call you Uncle Hei like Lao Yun. Is that okay?"
"Okay~ okay~
This place is too big, and the information we have collected is not complete, but judging from the confirmed situations collected from the forum, there are still at least two hundred copies~"
"How much more?"
These words made the little assassin next to him couldn't help but be stunned, and asked somewhat incredulously.
"More than two hundred is the minimum number!
As long as it is discovered by players, there will always be someone taking screenshots, making video guides, etc., and the news will slowly flow out. There will definitely be more than two hundred people coming and going!
If we consider that there may be some secret copies that have not been discovered, and that someone may have occupied a single copy and kept it secret, I think two hundred and fifty or even three hundred is a more reasonable number."
"I'll wipe ~ three hundred copies"
Lu Ying Wuhen was dumbfounded~
Forstell is a small person, but his territory is only about one-third of Solna. The total number of copies he owns is nearly three-fifths of the entire territory of Solna. This level of "richness" is really amazing. No wonder
It’s a mess here every day~
After listening to various reports from the Duke of Darkness, Liu Yifei was certain in his heart that this place must be a "place of chaos"~
This may be the area set aside by the system for players to play "Warring States Period"!
In fact, Liu Yifei has been thinking about it recently.
After the player's territory reaches a certain bottleneck, subsequent development will obviously enter a period of sluggishness.
However, within the kingdoms of each camp, although most of the player's actions are not restricted by the laws of the kingdom, it is impossible to be too chaotic~
For example, in the Kingdom of Dickwell, there was a large-scale and uninterrupted conflict between the Tiger King Hall and the "Holy Light Alliance", which caused high-level NPCs in the kingdom to have strong objections to this, and even almost went to the point of sending troops to suppress it.
It can be seen from this that it is okay for players to play their own games, but if it causes chaos in the kingdom and there is never peace, the NPCs will never let it go!
And if the NPC's inherent territory is affected during the fight, the punishment will be extremely severe!
In such a restrictive environment, it is difficult for players to play happily and thoroughly!
The existence of "chaotic areas" such as the Fostel Basin completely solves this problem.
The land is fertile, the resources are abundant, and the harvest is amazing. As long as you have confidence in your own strength and want to experience the thrill of ultimate battle, you can run to these places!
In this way, even if there is no large-scale armed conflict between NPCs in the territory, players can still experience an offensive war at the same level, allowing themselves to experience more of the core fun of the game~
but
If this is really the case, why is there no news about similar chaotic areas in other camps?
or
Didn't you notice it before?
Just do it if you think of it!
While having questions, Liu Yifei had already sent a letter to Tower Shield's mailbox through the built-in forum, asking him to use the studio to pay close attention to whether other races have similar "Forstel Great Basin" that can make players
Free areas for development. If there are any, you can send more manpower to pay attention. Especially those organizations with the most powerful voice and strength in these free areas are the objects that subsequent studios need to focus on observing and understanding.
After all the discussions here, everyone seems to be leaning towards expanding the territory here as much as possible and grabbing some particularly wealthy places to support their own development.
But after fully understanding the situation here in Forstel, Liu Yifei was not in a hurry to expand. In other words, he felt that it was not suitable to expand here at the moment.
Because I understand in my heart the actual meaning of the so-called "royal power".
Therefore, what Liu Yifei can be sure of is that "Jianguo" represents more than just a "fake name" as Luying Wuhen said~
But it is precisely because "the matter is huge" that Liu Yifei feels that it is more difficult for players to establish a country than to reach the sky. At least for now, it seems completely impossible!
And this is not his pursuit for the time being~
In addition, the various settings here in Forstel are almost nakedly tempting everyone to come and play group battles, especially nowadays when "military merit" is becoming more and more valuable.
Buy pets, fine goods, potions, equipment and even military positions and flags
What doesn't cost military merit?
Military merit is simply worth more than the gold coins in the game!
In this way, once it becomes big here, Liu Yifei can almost foresee that all the people who hang out here will form a group and fight against the Plague Alliance!
Ptolemy's players are like this, Garthwood's players are like this, and even Solna's players are like this~
Because if we don’t do this, none of us will be a match for the Plague Alliance!
And if that day comes, it will be a matter of whether they can withstand the pressure of other players to join forces. On the other hand, Liu Yifei is afraid that eating alone will leave hidden dangers for his family, and may be plotted by people with ulterior motives.
In fact, Liu Yifei's worries are not only true, but also a bit late~
Strictly speaking, there are already people here in Forstel who have begun to use various rumors and deception methods to try to establish the Plague Alliance's status as a "public enemy"!
And this group of people is naturally the Desolate Bone Society and his party who are currently affiliated with the branch of the "Anti-Cloud Alliance"!
One of the core members of the Desolate Bone Society is none other than the "Blood Moon Black Cloud" who had an issue with Liu Yifei on the strategic map before!
After the last destruction of the "Dark City", the Desolate Bone Society originally established by Blood Moon Heiyun also suffered a big impact. The death penalty of core members collectively losing three levels was enough to give them a serious reprieve.
A while ago~
Due to personal reasons, the entire guild alliance was damaged. Because of this, Blood Moon Black Cloud almost fell out with his allies.
However, at this time, fortunately, a "mysterious man" came to Blood Moon Black Cloud to discuss joint operations.
Bloody Moon Black Cloud originally had no interest in this kind of hidden person.
But as soon as he heard that he was actually going to deal with Liu Yun, he immediately became interested again, so after some consultations, he took advantage of the situation and asked the entire Desolate Bone Society to join the "Anti-Cloud Alliance".
And at the same time that I joined here, a whopping 30 million "start-up capital" was transferred over there!
This alone immediately dispelled the doubts that other people in the Desolate Bone Society had originally had, and they decided to follow Blood Moon Black Cloud wholeheartedly. If they don't get defeated by the Plague Alliance, it would be considered a man's ruthlessness!
This time they brought nearly 20,000 "subordinates" back to the Fostel Great Basin. This was the first step of their Desolate Bone Society's anti-cloud action! The purpose was to wipe out the peripheral forces of the Plague Alliance and let their large and small forces
The smaller allies are being killed one after another!
In order to complete this plan, the Barren Bones Society really made a lot of money this time. In addition to leaving only a small number of necessary manpower, it almost completely moved its base in Garswood! All it took was the bricks for the newly formed territory.
The wall was demolished and brought here~
Although this was a thorn in the side, it also gave them quite an advantage after moving to the Fostel Basin!
That is unstoppable in terms of human, material and financial resources!
People who come to places like Fostel to hang out, except for those like the Desolate Bone Society who have clear attack targets, are usually small organizations with middle and lower levels of strength. Otherwise, they lack financial resources and cannot spend money by smashing Union coins.
A way to promote the upgrading of the poor lord's territory.
Of course, the Plague Alliance is naturally the top major alliance. But there is only one top organization that can stretch its claws everywhere as unscrupulously as they do, and it can be ignored~
In front of other small and medium-sized organizations, the current Desolate Bone Society can also pretend to be a big organization! There are many mercenaries following the players, and after the injection of funds, they specially hired them temporarily.
Some professional teams came to act as their own thugs, which made the people of the Desolate Bone Society very fast in the initial development of the Fostel Basin. In just a few days, a first-level small town had been built.
