-----------------------------------------------
Cautiously lurking all the way, Liu Yifei and the others were slowly approaching the "City of Binahot" in the Macedonia Province.
As an ordinary medium-sized city in the border province, Binahot City is not a big deal. However, it has two of the largest mercury mines in the Macedonian province, providing more than 80% of the entire province. High-quality and high-grade mercury resources are naturally the "big gold mine" of Binahot City.
The main purpose of Liu Yifei's visit to Banliez this time was to use the illusion of the "elf army" to anger the other party, but the plan to make a fortune along the way had already been put on Liu Yifei's agenda.
Although the territory has not yet reached level 6, the construction and upgrading of the remaining buildings has been overseen by Tower Shield. However, Liu Yifei can only find a solution for the gap in resources~
Especially those high-quality resources of level six or seven cannot be bought on the market even if you have money [Firstly, there are very few high-level mineral points, and even fewer can fall into the hands of players. Secondly, others are not stupid. Selling it is equivalent to investing in the enemy, and you will always use it in the future, so the high-end resources in the hands of player lords are rarely sold, but some will occasionally flow out of the hands of individual players], and it is not a casual thought to get them together in one go. It's so easy to think.
Among them, what is particularly important to Liu Yifei right now is those high-grade mercury levels six or seven!
Although the territory cannot be upgraded to the seventh level yet, Liu Yifei plans to push the territory to the seventh level within three months. He will also build the "Dragon Bone Cemetery".
The "Dragon Bone Cemetery" requires the use of a large amount of sixth- and seventh-level high-quality mercury, a lot of gems, specific types of rocks and other resources, and these things are also hot commodities in the eyes of the undead player lords. In addition to the subordinates, In addition to plundering Leeds and Garswood, Liu Yifei really couldn't think of any better way to quickly accumulate the required resources. Therefore, Liu Yifei's second purpose of traveling this time was to rob!
As a "lizard bandit", you can make a fortune out of him in the territory of Benrez!
However, the closer we get to Binahot City, the more players there are wandering around in the surrounding area.
The group of Death God mercenaries brought by Liu Yifei have all been released. It can be said that a tight circle of full-angle active reconnaissance posts has been set up around the center of the lizard man army~
However, even so, more and more players have reached a point where Liu Yifei and others feel that they cannot avoid it.
Sometimes in order to bypass a group of players who are doing leveling tasks at the leveling point, they even have to make a large arc of two or three kilometers~
Now, let alone some unknowing robbery and other things that the public likes to see, it is even difficult to get close to the two mercury mines.
In addition to the increasing number of players around, the two resource deposits themselves are also a big problem.
Through the information revealed by a few words on the forum and the clips accidentally intercepted from some player videos, Liu Yifei roughly understood that the mercenary troops at those two mining sites were actually extremely powerful!
The third- and fourth-level regular ghost troops are just security posts on the periphery of the mine.
With the strong perception of the third-level necromantic mercenaries, they are suitable for detecting potential enemies around them. They can even be anti-invisible at the same time!
These spiritual creatures are semi-invisible units themselves. They are extremely resistant to various stealth skills and special effects. It is even difficult to deceive their senses by ordinary means~
And because of this, it is currently very popular among the ghost tribe for players who are mainly wizards to be reincarnated into the undead race at the third level.
The spirit trait has a basic 50% physical attack dodge rate, and an additional 25% reduction in actual physical damage. It is effective for both long-range and melee attacks. It also has racial talents that enhance perception attributes and resist various stealth skills, thus completely preventing death.
This eliminates the possibility of Necromancer players being instantly killed by professions such as archers and assassins at close range~
The qualifications for reincarnation of the third-level race are not too difficult. You only need to brush up some favorability points of the necromancy-type troops, and then accept more pointing tasks from the necromancy-type creatures, and you will have a higher chance of being reincarnated when you are reborn at the third-level.
qualifications.
In comparison, the "negative racial penalty" of reducing the "Strength" and "Physique" attributes by 25% each is simply nothing~
Who among the wizards relies on strength and physique? They don’t add much in the first place. Usually they add some just to wear robes and hold staffs. Just deduct them. Those dozens of attribute points are enough for a third-level purpose.
It’s not a big deal for players~
The only trouble lies in the fact that necromancy wizard players generally have a low HP limit because the "Physique" attribute cannot be increased too much. If you encounter a spell-damage elemental mage or a disciplinary priest profession such as the human race, it will be troublesome.
If not, you might be easily killed instantly. You must wear some additional jewelry or amulets that can significantly increase your HP limit to be safe.
But these are all digressions. The most troublesome thing for Liu Yifei right now is the presence of the undead mercenaries outside the mine. Even the god of death in his hand does not dare to get close to him at will. If he is discovered, the enemy will definitely
In an instant, a large army will be dispatched to sweep across the entire area to ensure the safety of their "big gold mine".
In addition to the undead, vampires are also the opponent's roving mobile sentries, which are used to clear the blind spots on the fixed sentry posts and ensure that the protected area is foolproof~
There are even some players who have been "miners" who claim to have seen corpse witches and black warriors in those two mines!
Liu Yifei didn't know whether these news were true, but if the other party really hid such damn things as corpse witches and black warriors in the mine site, it wouldn't take much, as long as it could have the size of a squadron, plus the geographical advantage.
With excellent weapons, it would be difficult for Liu Yifei and others to launch a frontal attack...
In addition to the inevitable presence of NPC mercenaries standing guard and outposts, Liu Yifei was also sure of a large group of player patrols.
You can't hide from this thing anywhere. Almost the more powerful NPC lords will issue patrol missions to players for "important locations" within their territory. There are six to ten patrols at various points a day. This type of mission is a whole plague.
The alliance has done a lot. Therefore, Liu Yifei knows very well that those players who have taken on the mission are actually more troublesome than the NPC Sentinels!
Maybe you saw that the other party was just there to fight monsters and do tasks. So you ignored them, and it turned out that they were just a group of guards who had taken the task and were on "alert"...
With all kinds of confusing and potentially useful information swirling in their minds, the two of them were finally less than five miles away from their destination.
Just in case, Liu Yifei asked Lone Hunting Doll to wait aside with everyone, and he would also inform her of Death's warning status through the team channel at any time. He himself would go up and check it out first. After all, Death did not dare to approach the resources too closely.
Clicking on the periphery, his eyes were darkened, and he just bumped into him. He was not here to rob, but to die~
[The Lizardman troops and the Solitary Hunter Doll will inevitably be exposed to the sight of NPCs. Therefore, the command of the Death Mercenaries cannot be given to the Solitary Hunter Doll, otherwise this matter will be ruined]
There were undead sentries on the other side, so it would be more convenient for Liu Yifei to pretend to be passers-by and walk over to investigate. Anyway, they had put on disguises before going out, so they would not be easily recognized by passers-by~
But when he took a closer look, Liu Yifei realized that he had thought of things too simply...
About two kilometers away from the resource mine, Liu Yifei encountered the opponent's first line of defense, which were some "NPC stations" scattered in the wild. They were inferior to "outpost towers" and were just
The simplest "detection point" is formed by a small team or a few NPCs plus some piles of rocks and wooden boxes.
These places are generally the "intermediate points" that players must pass through during patrol tasks. The task is to sign in and retain certificates one by one with these "NPC stations" around the patrol area, and complete the required number of laps within the specified time.
Then it's complete.
Don't look at the fact that most of these NPCs are just skeletons and corpses, cannon fodder among cannon fodder, and some are only in their twenties or thirties. They are only slightly stronger than the local monsters, and their equipment is extremely bad.
But this is the lord’s best spy!
Dispersing the excess cannon fodder forces throughout the territorial jurisdiction, even though NPCs cannot get system prompts immediately when their subordinates are attacked like player lords do, it can also help them strengthen monitoring and control of the area, and if their subordinates are still
If there are enough players to command at the grassroots level, it would be even worse, because players have such preferential treatment. Their subordinates are given troops to spread out to act as eyeliners. Once they are attacked, they can immediately report to their NPC superiors, and have better monitoring capabilities over the territory.
powerful!
However, the two wilderness stations that Liu Yifei saw did not seem to be under the command of a certain player. The name hanging above the opponent's head was just a simple description like "Skeleton [Zombie] Guards of Binahot City". It seems that they should
They are just ordinary soldiers under the name of city defense guards.
Not far further in, Liu Yifei unexpectedly encountered the first batch of resource point patrols - a vampire team with an undead mixed in!
Damn it~
The local Binahot City Lord actually incorporated the undead into the patrolling guards?
Liu Yifei couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't bring the God of Death with him, otherwise it would be completely over if he collided with him~
[If you remain invisible in the NPC guard zone, you will be regarded as a "hostile unit" by default. Once caught, you will have a hatred value. You must go to the city guard station for investigation. If there is something wrong, you will be jailed directly. If there is nothing, you will be released and arrested.
Kill on the spot]
Walking and looking all the way, Liu Yifei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat~
Damn it!
The Lord of Binahot must have taken the wrong medicine, otherwise why would he have arranged such a tight guard in the hinterland of his territory?
In just three to five minutes, Liu Yifei even encountered two groups of player patrols in addition to one vampire patrol...
Damn it!
So, the other party arranges two groups of people to patrol back and forth in "one shift" patrol batch?
This is really a trick, and it directly blocks the possibility of Liu Yifei and the others' secret operations!
Also~
When it was less than 500 meters away from the entrance of the resource mine, it was actually set up as a "military restricted area"! In other words, people without the permission of the lord were not allowed to enter at all!
this......
This is almost the same defense level as those secret research institutes of the Tower Clan, right?
It's just a resource deposit, why don't you be so surprised...
Although he did not enter the resource mine to see what was going on, Liu Yifei figured out another thing.
That means there are indeed high-level troops stationed here!
Because just by guarding the path at the entrance to the resource mine site, Liu Yifei saw a small group of black warriors...
"Hey, boss, how's the situation over there? Is it easy to start?"
Lone Hunter Doll's careful inquiry came from the team channel.
"It's not easy to handle. The opponent's defense system is very tight, and there are really high-level mercenaries... Damn it. He actually ambushed a small group of black knights at the intersection. Is it possible that there is still something down there?
Can he hide the Bone Dragon? I don't believe that there are no guards inside his mine."
Liu Yifei looked inside reluctantly and said helplessly.
"Then... how about we change places? Isn't there another mercury mine here? Go there and have a look. You can't say that you are going to attack when you come up, boss..."
This is actually what Lone Hunter Doll is most worried about.
Although the time I spent with Liu Yifei was not long, as a junior high-level executive in the territory, especially after gaining the status of "a classmate of the little assassin", the Lone Hunting Doll was indispensable at every conference held in the territory.
From the conversation, it was fairly clear what kind of personality their "lord boss" had.
Although he is usually low-key and friendly, he has never said that he has ever seen him put on airs with anyone.
However, this person is somewhat stubborn. Once he has identified something, he will never let go. He is a typical example of someone who will not give up until he achieves his goal.
The only good news is that this person is quite thorough in his work. He usually tries to collect as much information as possible and only sets a reasonable goal after sorting and analyzing it...
But if something unexpected happens during the process, this guy's single-minded problem will kick in. He can do any crazy thing to achieve his goal, and Gu Xunbao doesn't even bother to give examples. He just goes to the forum to look up this guy's past.
You can find a lot of "excellent records" ~
Although this boss was following him this time, it was Lone Hunter Baby herself who actually led the troops.
Before going out, Liu Yifei told her directly that he would help her. But he would be the one who made the decision as much as possible, and Liu Yifei would observe from the sidelines.
If she is really good at what she does and has some skills, then she can consider turning the orphan doll into a military personnel in the future. She can go to Yu Huangquan to learn from her, and she can also charge into battle and kill the enemy in the future~
It just so happens that Yu Huangquan is currently recovering and her health is not very good. She doesn't have much time to play every day, so she needs an "adjutant" to help her. The Lone Hunting Baby is also familiar with her, and she is considered one of the natural partners.
But that depends on whether Lone Hunter Doll has this ability~
If Liu Yifei forcibly takes over the command during the operation, it means that Lone Hunter Doll's performance is unqualified and she is not suitable to lead troops into battle. After returning, she can only continue to do her logistics work. She will not be unfairly treated in terms of salary, but she just wants to have fun.
, forget about killing enemies or whatever~
Liu Yifei's words were very straightforward, but Lone Hunter Baby didn't find it harsh, because he knew that Liu Yifei probably had this temper, and he had said the same thing to Yu Huangquan.
However, Yu Huangquan's strength has already been unanimously recognized in the territory, and whether he has this ability... Anyway, Lone Hunter Baby himself is also very worried~
However, if you want to say that she doesn't have that intention, it doesn't matter.
After all, this is a strategic competitive game with "war" as its selling point, and large-scale corps battles have already begun in the game world.
Those battlefield videos that are more exciting and exciting than the game's special animated CG are equally exciting every time, making Lone Hunter Doll's blood boil, making her wish she could lead troops into battle like those madmen and become an invincible female general on the battlefield.
, and then let your glorious and great achievements remain on the forum forever to be appreciated and praised by others...
Just like her idol Sister Xuelan!
The title "Big Sister" was secretly given to Xue Lan by Lone Hunting Baby, but it was not meant to be a joke at all, but was an expression of her true admiration.
Although I didn’t have any close contact with this “cold-faced queen” in the territory, I still found it incredibly incredible that Xue Lan could compete with a pervert like Liu Yun, a lonely hunter!
In her opinion, even if Liu Yun is not the strongest in the game world... he is definitely one of the strongest among the small group of players.
The young assassin is definitely one of the few perverted masters! After all, the title of "The Strongest Assassin in Solna" is not earned for nothing. The success in the arena is not weaker than the bloody slaughter on the battlefield. And the difficulty is even higher!
But Xuelan's ability to keep up with these two people, and even make the little assassin "full of fear" towards him, is like a miracle in the eyes of Lone Hunter Doll.
Can a female player really be that strong?
And then Xuelan came up with the title of "Miko of Thunder", which confirmed the suspicion in Guxunwa's heart. For this territory's chief steward, Guxunwa really wanted to learn the skills from his master so that he could become a person with a name like
A powerful existence that shines like stars in the sky...
Of course, these thoughts were not told to anyone else, not even the little assassin.
But now this is an opportunity!
If I can pass the test, doesn't it mean that I can become Yu Huangquan's right-hand man? In the future, while playing an increasingly important role in the territory, I can also get closer to Sister Xuelan?
In this way, it seems that it is not completely impossible to learn skills from a teacher...
Therefore, Lone Hunting Doll also hopes that this "mission" can be successfully completed~
Therefore, what she is most afraid of right now is Liu Yifei saying, "No, we will rush up and serve it directly here."
I had commanded them with great trepidation before. If we were to fight the opponent's regular high-level regiments here, Lonely Hunting Baby was even worried that if he were not careful, he would bury all the lizard-man archers that Boss Liuyun valued here.
...
"Want to leave? You are the commander, and these decisions are all yours to make. If you feel that there is no point in staying here, it is not impossible to change the target.
But I also want to remind you not to have too many unnecessary illusions.
If the opponent has deployed heavy troops here to protect the mercury mine, it means that this place is very important to them. The direct consequence of such attention is that another resource point will be in a similar situation.
And since it is a little far away from Nahot City, more soldiers may be deployed. You have to think clearly~"
Lone Hunter Baby didn't expect that Liu Yifei would say that, but he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it.
Yes, if the situation is the same over there, then not only will it be a waste of effort for you to go around like this, but it will also easily expose yourself.
But what should we do now?
Hard?
No! No! Definitely not!
"Then...otherwise...please boss, please take a look at the situation?"
Lone Hunting Baby asked with some trepidation.
"Okay, then I'll take a look at the situation~
In addition, lone hunter. Be more courageous and confident~
Although I am the lord, I have handed over the command of this operation to you.
In this case, if it is a reasonable order, I will unconditionally cooperate with your command. You should not be so frightened.
Although you are leading mercenaries now, it doesn't matter to them no matter how bad you perform.
But if you want to lead player troops in the future, as a commander you yourself have no confidence or self-confidence. How can you make your subordinates feel convinced in you?
So, adjust well, don’t be too nervous, relax appropriately, I think you can definitely do it~ After all, you hunters should be used to commanding operations, and you are still a trap survival hunter who controls the route and judges the situation.
I feel that even if the awareness of creating traps and trapping enemies is not strong, at least the level should be in place. If you show it more, you will definitely be able to show it in the military formation, come on!"
This time, Lone Hunter Doll is really confused~
Although she knew that Boss Liuyun was a good person, she didn't expect that one day the boss would say such words of encouragement to her.
Until now, she had only been in Plague City doing various logistical things, such as territorial production, material reserves, resource statistics, etc. Anyway, she was just helping Sister Xuelan.
But she never mentioned such things as how well she did and whether she was good enough, and she didn't even dare to take the initiative to ask such a "big shot" how she performed today.
Therefore, Lone Hunter Baby even thought that Liu Yifei would no longer have a person like her in her memory... Sometimes when she was bored, she would even think about changing places and maybe having a better time?
Can...
But after hearing what Liu Yifei said to her just now, she felt an inexplicable move in her heart...
It's so dangerous that Boss Liuyun has gone out. Otherwise, he would definitely see himself blushing like a monkey's butt... The Lone Hunting Doll couldn't help but think like this~
Liu Yifei naturally didn't expect that his words of encouragement would make the Lone Hunter doll flush with embarrassment, but he was still racking his brains to think of how to penetrate the resource deposits without disturbing the other party.
Go in.
Although the opponent has deployed a large number of elite troops here, Liu Yifei doesn't really care if they really want to force a charge.
As long as Liu Yifei and his Death God mercenaries can guarantee that they won't leak a single living person, it doesn't matter if Liu Yifei and his death mercenaries are exposed.
At the same time, the lizardmen brought by Liu Yifei are not all archers. The fifty lizardman trainers and three lizardmen druids are also a powerful and terrifying force, especially when they are equipped with six-legged flying weapons.
After fighting a powerful beast like a lion, it is not impossible to even "fight" a single black warrior~
However, even so, Liu Yifei would never dare to charge easily.
Not to mention the existence of Luo Le, what's more terrible is that this place is not far from Binahot City. If an accident occurs, the other party will definitely send mobile troops to support it.
It's okay to have undead, vampires, etc. If even the black knights, bone dragons and the like come to kill them, not to mention a group of small lizardmen, even Liu Yifei and his death mercenaries will probably have to rest here collectively.
, and this is where it gets really tricky...
"Your Excellency, are you Liuyun?"
And just when Liu Yifei was carefully observing the direction of the surrounding terrain to see if there were any advantages that could be exploited, a voice almost like thunder suddenly rang in his ears!
At that moment, Liu Yifei was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he almost turned around to see who could recognize him here.
However, he managed to control his instinctive reaction, pretending to be stunned for a moment, and then turned his head with a strange expression:
"Are you talking to me?"
In front of him was a twenty-year-old young man, who looked about the same age as a young assassin. But what made Liu Yifei inexplicably shocked was...this guy subconsciously gave himself a "difficult to deal with" attitude
The feeling, especially those eyes! Calm, calm, confident...these are qualities that even the little assassin does not possess!
As a "follower", the little assassin is proud, and his strength is enough for him to remain confident. However, that feeling is not as clear and distinct as the person in front of him!
If Liu Yifei had to describe it... this person is more like a superior person, just like himself, calm and calm, making plans to complete the encirclement while talking and laughing, and keeping everything under control...
..a powerful controller…
Faced with Liu Yifei's pretending to be stupid, the man suddenly smiled in a friendly manner, and then said with a cheerful expression:
"Originally I was just guessing, but judging from your reaction, I probably guessed it right... Haha~ It's such an honor to think about it, to be able to meet you in a small place like Banliez. It's really my pleasure today.
Lucky day!
By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Dalaran, and I am the president of the ‘Dalaran Ghost’ guild in the southern part of Banlez~”
When the other party said this, Liu Yifei frowned subconsciously~
This guy in front of me... seems to be quite confident... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
