Plague City Chapter 184: Emma, ??the seafaring hero
.Hui: Let me tell you a story. While reading, Long first wants to sincerely thank a friend who knows his faults and spoke honestly. After carefully reading the first few chapters, this friend made two mistakes that were clearly negligent by Xiaolong.
Correction: In the chapter "Wang Er, the Swamp Tamer", it is mentioned that the final round of the chain of tasks posted in the Hero Hall is the sum of the previous ones, but it should actually be the sum of the previous ones, that is, Liu Yifei needs to complete ten
The tasks are divided into rounds, with ten rings in each round, and the final round is a two-hundred-ring task. The second point is that it is also mentioned in the chapter that Liu Yifei completed the fourth round of the third round of tasks. The book friend pointed out the error and changed it to complete to the end.
The thirty-fourth ring of the wheel. The above is completed
Xiaolong stopped updating for a while, and some details and data were lost, so please forgive me if there are any mistakes. This unknown book friend put forward his opinions in a timely manner. Thank you again, Xiaolong.
When he went online again on Sunday, Liu Yifei first sorted out his tasks with the battlefield secretary. The task of attacking the foreign castle that he took on yesterday was delayed until now due to some strange circumstances, which still made Liu Yifei very unhappy.
Yes, but fortunately, he attacked many additional castles, and after receiving the perfect reward, he also received a good additional reward, which was regarded as recognition of his achievements.
After handing over many small tasks that were easily completed together, Liu Yifei finally had a little bit of gold coins in his hand. At this time, he could drive around in the main city of the system. In fact, there are still many important things in the main city.
There are places you can go.
For example, the blacksmith shop, the treasure market, and the tavern that Liu Yifei misses most. Yesterday, it was because he was too short of money to spend money in these places. Today, it is different. Although the gold coins are only enough, Liu Yifei has a lot of military achievements.
It was a bit scary, so he decided to further consolidate his strength through these Taobao searches.
After looking at the blacksmith shop, I was a little surprised. There were more interesting things than when I visited yesterday.
Liu Yifei's original set of Lord war machines will not have the chance to be replaced in a short time. It has been pushed to the overall level five by several mission rewards. Presumably it will become the most advanced war machine that players can master in a short time. However, in this game
During this battle mission, he still found something that interested him.
Frozen Crossbow: Level 4 branch technology war machine, screaming, occupying attack and defense, terrifying blade killing, four ammunition cannot be replenished, "full killing range of 1 meter, equipped with gills, a chance of completely freezing low-level targets in one round, and an approximate chance of completely freezing
For one round of mid-level targets, the gills have a chance to completely freeze high-level targets for one round. The target cannot be dispelled after being completely frozen, and cannot fight back when attacked this round. After being thawed, it maintains the "slow" effect for three rounds and can be dispelled or covered.
A very interesting war machine. In terms of pure damage effect, it is somewhat different from the normal level 4 continuous-fire crossbow. Not to mention the level 5 kamikaze continuous fire crossbow that Liu Yifei is currently equipped with. It is probably better than the level 3 sharp crossbow.
There are more. But the complete freezing effect that comes with it is great!
Hero invincibility, such as paralysis, petrification, blindness, entanglement, etc., can restrain the target's actions in this round, but they all face an embarrassing problem, that is, the target wakes up after being attacked and can fight back with high fire most of the time.
If you are blind in this situation, you can only be
Awakening but unable to fight back, other special states will be discussed later. Therefore, in many cases, these restriction methods can only be used as an auxiliary tactic, and the user's layout requirements are extremely high. Otherwise, it is just a waste of oneself to blind others.
's mouth and spellcasting opportunities.
However, the complete freezing effect of this kind of ballista is amazing. It can make the opponent completely helpless for a whole round and will not be awakened. It cannot be dispelled. Once it is hit, it will probably have no chance to act again.
Got it
What I hate is that the chance of movement is too low, especially for high-level creatures.
Now Liu Yifei, as long as the opponent does not bring out a large number of high-level biological troops, even if he brings some more intermediate-level and armed troops, he is sure to bite them down. If his own side attacks the city, the losses will be huge.
some.
What Liu Yifei needs now is a method that can effectively suppress the high-level biological troops. If he can effectively suppress the high-level biological troops, for example, each attack has a chance of completely freezing the high-level target for one round, then he will have the courage to attack the enemy.
For castles of level six or higher, if you can find a partner with the same level of strength as you, the main city is not completely guaranteed to be won.
Unfortunately, this ballista only has a chance of being lucky, and the amount of ammunition is quite annoying. It can only be released. Even if there is ammunition, the vehicle cannot be replenished and restored, which makes the application range of the frozen ballista narrow.
Than.Corpse
I just don’t know if the hero with the crossbow specialty has any bonus effect on the special effects of this kind of machine. If so, there seemed to be a ghost hero in the tavern with some name who had the crossbow specialty. Maybe Liu Yifei
Maybe I'll hire him
Fortunately, Liles didn't have a decent ballista yet, but it only cost 35,000 military merit, which was too much for others, but Liu Yifei could still afford it.
Later, he also found a level 3 ordinary catapult. He gave his level 5 one to Liles, so he could get another one. There was also a level 3 branch technology tent. Each time he healed the gills, he had a chance to cast level 1 lord magic.
"Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy" also made one for Liles to bring.
After going around the treasure shop, Liu Yifei could only feel depressed. It's not that he didn't find any good things, but that they were too good to be used at all. The depressing elves and the hourglass of doom were called the "Elf of Depression" and the Hourglass of Doom in the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
It is a strong strategic treasure that is a first-level pseudo-artifact unique to the ghost tribe. Do you think it is strong? It is strong enough to have a military merit value of 300,000 or an exchange value of 100,000 gold coins, which is enough to put all the lord players including Liu Yifei away.
Liu Yifei also carefully checked the attributes of the strategic treasure. He was afraid that it was something with a different name, but his eyes almost popped out when he saw it! Not only was the strategic effect not weakened, but it was also strengthened to a certain extent! At least for ghosts
It is strengthened for clan lords
It's not that Liu Yifei can't use the 300,000 military merit points. The key is that the remaining military merit points will also participate in the final player ranking. If he loses 300,000 points, his ranking will definitely fall out of the top 100 or even 500!
He is still counting on getting a good final ranking reward.
Moreover, this damn rule clearly states that all the props, equipment, and troops obtained in the mortal setting will be collectively collected after the battle. If this is the case, Liu Yifei may actually spend all his money to obtain these two extremely powerful strategic treasures.
of.
Finally in the tavern, Liu Yifei finally had to face the cruel reality. Although he had already realized it when he was too late to come back yesterday, when the real facts were placed in front of him, Liu Yifei could only sigh and say, "Unlucky."
Among the 3,100 player lords of the Ghost Clan, Liu Yifei is definitely not the only one who can carefully observe the secrets of the tavern, and he is definitely not the only one who can collect enough gold coins and have free recruitment quotas for deputy heroes. Therefore, today
What Liu Yifei saw when he came back was that the originally bustling and crowded tavern was mostly empty, and the few heroes he knew with special skills had almost been hired.
Yes, "almost" hired out
The last remaining one is a deputy hero named Emma, who was born as a dungeon magician. She is a fifth-level female hero whose specialty is navigation. Her skills include primary navigation and primary intelligence.
Liu Yifei is so dizzy
Among the several secondary heroes he had his eye on at the beginning, the one named Clem with the Long Skull was probably the one with the strongest overall combat power and the best match for Liu Yifei. After all, Liu Yifei could supply almost unlimited amounts of the troops he needed.
Liu Yifei was most interested in the vampire hero named Bo Wei, who specializes in crossbows. He wanted to test whether the combination of Bo Wei and the freezing crossbow could produce any special effects. It would be best to increase the chance of freezing effects.
But unfortunately, there was only one Emma left. Liu Yifei also understood that according to his previous idea of entering the waterway, Emma's existence was still valuable, but after all, this was just a lake, not a sea. Even if the progress was slower, it would be wasteful.
Having more physical strength will not have much impact. The value of a good deputy Yingwei can completely offset these small losses.
Since there was no other choice, Liu Yifei finally chose Emma. After all, she had one more specialty and three initial attribute points, which was always better than those blank slate heroes.
But once it was confirmed that he wanted to be hired, the fun thing happened. The system actually prompted that he needed to complete a specific task before he could be hired! This aroused Liu Yifei's interest. If anything goes wrong, there must be a monster! This was not the case when recruiting Liles.
Rules, why is this so troublesome now?
After accepting the mission, Liu Yifei was teleported into another much smaller mission space. This time it was not the adventure mode, but the same strategic mode as before.
The terrain is a slightly irregular rectangle, which has been completely lit up. Everything on the map is probably symmetrical. Liu Yifei and Emma initially appeared in a small town that had not yet established a base camp, and the opponent
Over there, there is already a level 3 town and is in the process of upgrading the level 4 castle, but there is only one hero called Cottle.
According to the background story provided in the mission, Emma and Cottle were rivals who grew up together in the underground city. When they grew up, they traveled around the world separately, and then magically met again in this fateful place.
At this time, the gap between the two was already a bit big. Emma was just a level 5 hero who governed a small town, while Cottle had grown into a level 20 lord with a huge city! In the end, the two of them met in unison.
The boundless sea aroused a yearning. For the two people who grew up in the underground city, the sea is mysterious and intoxicating. Exploring the ocean has almost become their only dream.
In this small piece of land, there is only an ancient shipyard at the top of the center that has not yet been abandoned. They learned that in that shipyard, there is currently only one large ship large enough to accommodate many soldiers. They want to wait until
It will take at least two or three years before the next big ship is built.
The impatient desire to sail and the habit of competing with each other since childhood turned the two into real rivals. Everyone wanted to occupy the dock first and then gun the big ship out to sea, but Liu Yifei, Emma's enthusiastic and solid companion during the journey, was enthusiastic.
A ghost hero? He needs to help her fulfill her wish and occupy the dock.
than., king
To be honest, after spending a few minutes reading the background story introduction and digesting all the valuable information, Liu Yifei’s first impression was that this pretty dungeon sorceress named Emma was sick!
The sick feeling is that this Emma is still a rare idiot! She is still so tough that she is not afraid of death. Cun San feels that she is really weak, meeting such an incompetent and weak subordinate."
Say she is sick, that's for sure
A hero who is only level 5 and has only one village in his hand is having trouble getting along with a hero who is level 20 and is upgrading a level 4 castle. Isn't this looking for death? What is it if it's not a disease?
Moreover, in order to go to sea, she actually fell out with someone she had grown up with, who was barely an acquaintance, and even became a real rival. What is this if not a fool?
As for saying that her strength is weak, that is absolutely true. The two of them obviously traveled around the world together, and they have already reached that point, but she is still stuck in such a small place. What is it if her strength is not weak?
At this time, Liu Yifei finally understood why this special hero named Emma had not been recruited.
For powerful player lords, it shouldn't be difficult to complete this task, but the key is that they may not value Emma's strength. When the effort is not proportional to the reward, those people have no intention of fighting with this idiot.
What are you talking about?
If someone likes Emma's strength, then that person's strength is really quite a lot. Maybe he wanted to try it, but in the end he failed to complete the task. Anyway, by chance, Emma was left behind.
Until Liu Yifei's arrival.
Liu Yifei has already understood the difficulty of this mission. There are three major route choices in the entire map.
It leads directly to the dock, which is the shortest way to victory, but the troublesome walk is really heavily deployed. There are even monster troops of the sixth-level manticore in the dungeon, and they happen to occupy a crossing.
If you don't have the strength to pick off this group of manticores, you won't be able to reach the dock at all.
In addition to this hard-to-break road, if you are willing to take a relatively long detour, you can also reach the dock. Although there are many wild monsters on the road, the number is large, but the quality is not comparable to the previous road.
, but the distance is about twice as long as the previous one, and it takes too much time.
The last road is the most interesting. It is the road that can reach the Kotel Castle opposite. It seems that the system also gives strength.
The Gujing player leaves open the possibility of Zong completing the mission. If the player can find a way to entangle Jiazhou Xin and prevent her from getting on the road to the dock in time, Emma may also take a long way to get to the dock.
Liu Yifei was happy when he saw this situation. Because he thought of another way of playing that was completely different from the system arrangement.
Logically speaking, this mission is like a randomly generated single-player version of Heroes of Invincibility. The victory condition is to meet certain conditions within a limited round. Liu Yifei has played many similar maps in the past few years, especially during his time in college.
, as the honorary president of the Invincible Heroes Association. He even once led a group of die-hard fans of Invincible Heroes to design their own maps. He knows this mission mode very well.
Moreover, Liu Yifei also knows that as a strategy game, all maps always have an iron rule, which is that once the enemy is destroyed, victory will be guaranteed.
Liu Yifei rolled his eyes and already had his mind set on Cottle.
Poor thing, the twenty heroes named Cottle are currently following the script written by the system to capture resource points and seize resources to build a city. According to the script, he will complete the construction of the fourth-level castle in just ten minutes. Then
Spend another fifteen minutes to recruit your own deputy hero, and ask him to bring first- and second-level ground troops to defend the city. To prevent the enemy from stealing the city before you arrive at the dock, you can then lead Evil Eye, Medusa and Mighty
The Minotaur sets sail and sails towards the endless sea
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The powerful Liu Yifei directly abandoned poor Emma, and relied on his full physical strength to rush all the way to the door of his castle. At this time, it was less than ten minutes after the start.
one
Then it got funny. Taking advantage of the opponent's absence, Liu Yifei took the castle with a small loss, then recruited a garbage sub-hero from the tavern in the city, and then gave the opponent all his skeleton shooters and first-level skeletons to defend to the death.
Castle. Liu Yifei himself hid far away
Losing his hometown at the beginning has already confused Colt. Without a city, if he cannot capture at least one village within the stipulated time, he will be judged as a failure and he will bring all his troops to kill him.
, and then the second siege
Of course. Although it has a third-level city defense effect, the heroes defending it inside are really bad and the troops are also very sparse. Colter regained the castle after losing a certain amount of long-range troops and some harpies.
However, this was the cause of his real demise. Because after the victory of the siege, he was directly placed in a defensive position, and after Colter exited the battle space, what he saw was blocking the door.
Liu Yifei…”
That's right. What Liu Yifei wants is more than just a simple victory in a mission. What he wants is to completely eliminate the opponent! For a special mission under this kind of arrangement, if the enemy doesn't have something good in it, Liu Yifei will never do it.
Otherwise, he would suffer some losses if he stormed the enemy's main defensive castle, but this could not stop Liu Yifei from yearning for the mysterious reward at all.
It didn't take much effort. Liu Yifei solved the dungeon level 20 hero named Colt. After the war, not only did the familiar scene of playing the victory horn not appear, but a wonderful cutscene appeared!
In front of Colter's castle, Colter, the sorcerer from the lower city, had been completely defeated and fell to the ground. Liu Yifei was riding on a mighty undead war horse and looked down at the opponent, and the sharp dark weapon in his hand
The sword of sanctions has kissed Colter's neck. At this moment, as long as Liu Yifei's character moves his hand, Colter will be driven to pieces.
"Ahem, I can't believe that that stinky woman Emma could find such a strong helper like you! I failed completely, please kill me!" The castle behind Corte's gathering was already shrouded in a huge fire.
In the raging flames, one or two giant dragons made entirely of skeletons could occasionally be seen flying and landing in the steaming flames. The tragic cries for help never stopped for a moment.
, one hundred thousand
"When did these bastards learn how to set fire to massacre the city? It seems that the ghost creatures are really evil! It's a sin." At this time, Liu Yifei had other thoughts in his heart.
.
"Why? Why don't you kill me! Could it be that after defeating me, that bitch Emma still wants to insult my dignity as a lord!" Colter's face was pale at this time, and his robe had become tattered and turned into a beggar's outfit.
, he really doesn’t look like a dignified lord.
"Colter, you are wrong. In your mind, do you already regard Emma as your enemy? Once upon a time, you were also childhood playmates. I came here after you left. Emma doesn't know
"Qing, I just want to come and see that friend he has always been worried about, but I didn't expect that you no longer recognize her as a friend." Liu Yifei's character said the bloody dialogue prescribed by the system, and put away the long sword in his hand.
.
"Hahahahahahahaha friends? Friends! How have I ever had friends in the dark underground world! In all these years, I, Colt, have never had any friends except for conquest and destruction! Now that I have been defeated, you tell me that I have friends? Haha
Haha Liuyun! Are you insulting my wisdom?
Colter has never owed anyone anything in his life. That guy Emma helped me escape from the Minotaur and saved my life. Today I will return my name to her!
This is a book I accidentally got on an unknown island when I traveled around the world. Please help me pass it on to Emma. In this life, my dreams are shattered and I have no interest in life! In the next life, I will definitely set sail again.
Fight the sea again!
Let’s settle the grudge between Emma and me in the next life! Tell that stupid woman to live well, and I will come back to find her!”
After saying that, the magician Colter used his last strength to summon a "thunderbolt" that struck him and turned into a pile of charred corpses in the firelight..."
"Congratulations to the player Liu Yun, for obtaining the super hidden prop "Fu Er's Tool", which is a key prop to unlock specific general stars one by one. "Fu Er, a series of general star missions, please keep it properly."
After hearing the system prompt, Liu Yifei, who was familiar with the various heroes in Heroes 3 and the background history of Heroes, was stunned.
