.Chapter 455: Occupy the Mountain and Become the King
After discussion, Alfred and Liu Yifei reached a consensus. The newly obtained fourth-level ghost clan stronghold was an accident within an accident. It was definitely a surprise for the rebels. As long as it is used properly, it can be compared with the City of Glory.
They rely on each other and form a cornering force to defend and protect each other.
More importantly, Liu Yifei, as the "legal owner" of this new stronghold, has complete ownership. Although various facilities in the stronghold are now damaged due to the previous battle, with a little repair, at least one
Most of them can be put into use immediately.
The most important thing is naturally the teleportation array.
Nowadays, in the rebel zone, the City of Glory is truly isolated and can easily be completely surrounded by enemies. However, if there is an additional teleportation point, the tactics will be much more flexible.
The most important thing is that Liu Yifei's strength is guaranteed. Even in a two-pronged battle, Alfred is obviously very convinced of Liu Yifei. This is not unrelated to Liu Yifei's outstanding performance in the previous city defense battle.
If Liu Yifei's commanding ability is a piece of shit, no one with any sense would agree to divide the troops.
The two agreed that the military force Liu Yifei could bring to form a defense base would include one-third of Xin Lage's soldiers, the soldiers Liu Yifei brought with him at the beginning who had been fighting with him since Baiyan City, and
The swamp people who migrated from the Hope Swamp.
Originally, Liu Yifei wanted to organize some players to help out, but then he thought it was wrong.
In terms of execution of orders, players have too much uncertainty, and Liu Yifei does not have a strong binding force on them.
In the battle to defend the city, he now has the most important long-range firepower, and it is much stronger than the players, so a large number of players seems unnecessary~
In addition, if there are no players involved, Liu Yifei can safely call the Bone Dragon Gregory.
There are no other people present, and there are no higher-level intelligent NPCs present. At most, the presence of Gregory only weakens the morale of the human mercenaries a little. However, Xinrag's personal soldiers are not only powerful, but also have high morale. As long as they don't
Let Gregory personally lead the ethnic soldiers in battle and treat them as a single special forces unit, and the impact will be minimal.
Of course, in view of the cooperative relationship with the fortune teller and some subsequent trading issues between the two parties, Liu Yifei could not be too ruthless, so he smiled and asked Alfred a few points, and Alfred also said that he could accept it...
...
It wasn't until the end that Liu Yifei took the time to ask where Xin Lage's soldiers were hiding.
To be honest, this problem has been bothering Liu Yifei for a long time. After all, the size of this army is not small. If it can be hidden in Alfred's lord's castle, it is obviously nonsense. To say that this is temporarily refreshed by the system seems to be
It's also a bit unreasonable. It's just that Liu Yifei never had a chance to ask in detail before, so he delayed it. Now that the problem has been solved, the two of them are about to part ways. If they don't ask, there will be no chance.
"Oh~ So Lord Liuyun doesn't know about these things yet?
Every lord with a territory, as long as he obtains the approval of the superior lord and completes a series of tasks issued by the king, he can rely on the three-pole magic tower in the territory (only cities with three poles can build first-level magic towers, so level five
The city has opened up a stable space (corresponding to the three-pole magic tower), and the other end of this space is the outer realm corresponding to each race."
"Outer territory" Liu Yifei exclaimed involuntarily.
No wonder Liu Yifei was surprised. Due to his previous trip to the elves, Liu Yifei was lucky enough to take the bone dragon Gregory to kill a legendary demon whose strength had declined to the "spirit" level, and the one named "Fair"
The unlucky big devil named "Farman" is a foreign traveler from the outside world of the demon clan.
It's a pity that that idiot was trapped by "Franrette", the mentor of Elf Nv Felina, with a mithril magic chain. He was unable to return to the outside world, and he was constantly sucked in power, and finally ended up dying in a foreign land.
Tragic ending, if you really want to talk about it, it seems that Fairman is also the demon lord in charge of the Demonic Outland.
After that time, Liu Yifei also took the opportunity to gain some knowledge about the Outland from Gregory, so when he heard about the Outland again, especially the fact that a stable space-time connection can be opened up in the fifth-level territory, he
would be so surprised.
According to Gregory, in the original old world (that is, the background of the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3), there was no such thing as an Outland...
Maybe there was, but no one could easily go there at that time.
Of course, situations such as the situation where the demigod-level boss "Gwen Magnus" with the title of "Immortal King" holds the Staff of Time and Space will not be considered. That is no longer something that can be described by ordinary "special circumstances"
.
Even though people at that time were already aware of the existence of an outer plane like "Outer Realm", it was not said that they could not go there. However, the increase of angels, the strongest creatures in the human race, indirectly explained the existence of Outer Realm.
In short, compared to the old world, the current location of this world in the universe is obviously closer to the "outer space", so it is actually possible to directly build a space connection between the two places through some complicated techniques.
This fee is naturally terrible, but what is the specific effect...Gregory directly told Liu Yifei that he "didn't know".
It's no wonder that the Bone Dragon doesn't know that even if it was once awesome, it's only a matter of the old man. After arriving in the new world, Sandru, the former King of the Undead, obviously has no desire to continue to dominate the world and has remained silent in obscurity.
In the small tomb with unknown corners that Liu Yifei once visited, even the mausoleum was not an ordinary shabby place. How could there be an opportunity to run a strong territory and then go to the outside world with the bone dragon to continue smashing and looting?
At that time, Liu Yifei heard a little bit about the Outland, and probably knew that the Outer Space corresponding to each race was different. He paid attention to it, but unfortunately he did not collect similar information later, so he had to let it go, but he didn't want to,
Today, we collected more information here in Aifud.
While lamenting the impermanence of the world and lamenting that he had no intention of digging into the shade of Liuliu, Liu Yifei concentrated on thinking about the information Alfred told him.
"... The currently known outer space of our human race is called 'Paradise Sanctuary', the outer space of the Elf tribe is called 'Emerald Secret Realm', the swamp tribe's outer space is called 'Endless Rainforest'," the outer space of the Tower Clan is more mysterious, and
It’s rarely mentioned to the outside world, and we don’t know.”
"What about the Dark Alliance? Don't we know anything about our opponents?" Liu Yifei began to take the opportunity to make some excuses.
"Haha, I originally thought that you, Lord Liuyun, would know it yourself. Would you like me to tell you the name of the ghost clan's outer realm? This feels really strange...
The outer domain of the ghost clan is called the Tomb of All Souls, the demon clan's dungeon is called the Blazing Hell, and the barbarian's dungeon is called the War Plains.
Of course, these external spaces have been divided and occupied by major forces, so their own development space is relatively narrow. To be honest, it is not as good as our main material plane.
In addition, the cost of transportation is not small, so it is not practical to take the troops here to fight there. Moreover, due to different planes, the rules of space are also very different. To put it simply, 100% of the strength here may not be able to fight there.
Performed at 50% to 60%.
Therefore, except for a small number of strong people who intend to hone themselves and challenge higher existences, few of our lords are willing to go there to develop.
but......
Hey, it’s useless to say too much. In short, that place is very strange. If your territory, Lord Liuyun, develops smoothly, maybe one day you will be able to open up your own space. Maybe? Haha,
By then, you will naturally know what the situation is there, right?
Lord Sinrag is also the only human lord I know who has made great achievements in the heavenly sanctuary.
It seems that Sir Sinrag spent a long period of time in the outside world when he was young, and he also controlled a considerable territory there. Later, he gave up for unknown reasons, but he also left behind a large number of extremely powerful soldiers.
You know, the enemies in the outer space are extremely ferocious, and their strength is unmatched by our main material world. However, it seems that it is more suitable for the growth of soldiers. I have not studied it in depth, so I don’t know."
"So, such a powerful force is actually composed of soldiers from other lands? They are not our local soldiers at all?"
"No~ I can be sure of this
The rules for going to the Outer Realm are very strange. Going there is very troublesome, but coming back is relatively simple. It is also true that the powerful lords in the main material world will generally reach deals with the big lords in the Outer Realm, so that our side is richer.
A more complete range of resources are exchanged for their troops. Of course, the price is very outrageous, but it also gives some big lords with enough pockets a strong boost..."
After learning these more important news about the outside world from Alfred, Liu Yifei's mind couldn't help but become more active~
He holds Plague City in his hands, the holy city of the ghost tribe, and its development is much faster than other ordinary territories.
At the very least, the "city construction" from town to city in a general territory, the transition from a second-level city to a third-level city, or a fifth-level city to a sixth-level city all requires the approval of the superior lord, and the "promotion quota" in the hands of each superior lord
"They are all limited. Without making considerable sacrifices and outstanding achievements, there is absolutely no possibility for the player lord to be directly promoted.
Of course, betraying the superior lord or going to the wilderness to establish a territory are ways to avoid such troubles, but the price to be faced is not acceptable to ordinary lords, so the development of player lords is always easily restricted by NPC superiors.
The Holy City is different. The strength of the Holy City is a good thing that is extremely beneficial to the entire race. It can be said that it is the good news that every race hopes to hear. This undoubtedly provides a good foundation for Liu Yifei's expansion.
"Is it a fifth-level territory? If you think about it carefully, it's not that difficult. By the way, Plague City has been upgraded to the three-pole territory for a while. I don't know if it has been upgraded to the fourth level. I have to hurry up when I go back. Maybe
Can you call me tonight and ask about the little assassin?"
While Liu Yifei was thinking about the progress of the construction of his own territory, he and the two sisters of the Lei family arranged the transfer of their own troops, and the passage was naturally the teleportation array in the Plaza of Glory City.
At this moment, Liu Yifei's direct troops were lining up neatly, entering the teleportation array one by one, and teleported to the ghost clan's fourth-level fortress in the rising white light.
Due to the rebellion in the surrounding areas, the teleportation array in the City of Glory is temporarily useless to players. They can neither go to the rebel city nor communicate with cities further away from the outside world. Instead, there is no interference from players.
Countless players who had not gone offline at night, or who had just come online, gathered together out of curiosity and gathered on the side of the road to watch. After all, this situation was rare in ten years.
Everyone was watching the excitement when suddenly a group of people came out and walked straight towards the person who was said to be a player and was "parading".
Liu Yifei looked up and saw that it was a divine fortune teller, but he still couldn't escape.
"Oh my! Brother Fengliu is really awesome. It's no use that we people claim to be professional gamers. Compared with you, we are just a bunch of shit. We are just busy in vain."
The fortune teller waved and complimented out of habit.
"No, no, Brother Divine Fortune Teller is ridiculous. I'm just lucky. Compared with your Tiger King Hall, I'm really nothing."
Don’t look at my current glory, it’s all temporary. As soon as the plot battle is over, these will all belong to others and have nothing to do with me~”
"Hey~ What did Brother Fengliu say? Although these don't belong to you, at least before they are returned, your methods are enough to earn a lot of benefits, right? We can only watch, but you are already enjoying it.
, is it still far away from true possession? Hahahaha~" The fortune teller smiled boldly, as if the person who holds the command of these elite soldiers is not the unknown unknown person in front of him, but himself.
"By the way, Brother Fengliu, there is something about that... fortress... You are in such a situation now, and I have also accepted the order from Lord Alfred to stay here and form an organization.
The player army cannot go with you, so our previous agreement..."
"Hey, Brother Divine Fortune Teller, don't worry, these are two different things~ No matter what the situation is now, as long as the fortress is still in my hands in the end, it will eventually be delivered to your Tiger King Hall intact, but this has nothing to do with it.
Is it a matter of price..."
"Brother Fengliu, don't worry, you don't need to worry about this matter. People from our headquarters are already rushing over with a lot of gold coins. As long as the business is there, don't worry about the money. Our Tiger King Hall has sufficient funds.
By the way, let me ask you something, is it not safe over there in your fortress?" At this moment, the fortune teller was worried about Gregory's affairs. He didn't know about Gu Long and Liu Yifei's affairs.
Relationship, just think that the bone dragon is the boss entrenched there. That guy is very powerful. He destroyed the 500-man team he sent over without any damage.
Although the true strength of those people is open to question, it is an indisputable fact that they were easily "eaten in one bite" by the opponent. If they don't get rid of them, how can they dare to buy them?
"You can rest assured that I will bring such a powerful force to you, this great fortune teller. I will definitely clean up all the small fish and shrimps in the surrounding area for you. The safety issue is really not worth mentioning~" After saying that, Liu Yifei also said
He winked in a funny way, seeming to indicate that the fortune teller didn't need to worry.
The two chatted happily, and the fortune teller was also very graceful. Although he had a lot of messy things to do, he stayed with Liu Yifei until the end, until the figures of Liu Yifei and his second daughter finally disappeared into the white sky.
In the teleportation light, the smile on his face has not dissipated~
However, the cold light that occasionally flashed in his eyes made his smile appear a little bit ferocious...
Thinking carefully about the various performances of the Divine Operator before, Liu Yifei, who slowly walked out of the teleported white light, felt a little embarrassed and shook his head.
Although Liu Yifei did not see the little tricks that the fortune teller made behind his back, Liu Yifei's keen sense was not fake. This person always gave him a sense of cunning rather than enthusiasm.
It feels like this kind of thing is the most uncertain, but Liu Yifei feels that he was not wrong this time.
Although the fortune teller has always been polite to him, and even seemed a bit flattering at times, these have nothing to do with enthusiasm and sincerity~
A person's true nature can be exposed in many details. For example, when the fortune teller treats ordinary players, he always feels superior, and even treats his subordinates harshly.
Coupled with some information Liu Yifei heard from Lei Hanxin, he could probably guess this person's character.
"Hey Yifei, what do you think about alone?"
Liu Yifei looked up and saw Lei Hanxin who had come over first. At this moment, the girl was looking at the surrounding "scenery" from the square with her sister.
This place can be regarded as Liu Yifei's SI territory, especially now that Liu Yifei has restricted the transmission rights very strictly, and no players will be allowed to pass. There are no other players in the fortress except the three of them. Lei Hanxin finally took the serious attitude in front of others.
He threw away his anger and regained his lively smile.
The two sisters were enjoying themselves. When they looked up in the direction of the lord's castle, they saw the huge Gregory entrenched above him at first sight. They were immediately frightened and shrank back.
Gregory didn't mind being noticed and saluted, although he was a little unhappy with the arrival of a lot of human creatures, especially the strong holy scent of the High Priest of Glory, which made him feel some instinctive disgust, but for the power of its level
To the observer, these mercenary creatures are nothing more than ants, and it doesn't care too much.
After snoring, a large stream of dark blue slightly black soul flame emerged from the nasal cavity of Gregory's skeleton. Gregory's pair of giant bone wings folded slightly to cover its head.
A certain dragon continued to doze unbridled.
"Haha, it's not the first time we've seen it, what's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, although it has a bad temper, it's always on our side. Just don't pay too much attention to it. As long as you don't mess with it, it's usually
Under the circumstances, you wouldn't do anything excessive." Liu Yifei smiled and patted the nervous sisters on the shoulders, then passed the two of them and walked to the front where the troops were gathering.
Liu Yifei came here to build a second stronghold. He didn't know when the enemy's reinforcements would arrive. He didn't have much time, so while sorting out the situation of the army, he casually opened the ghost clan fortress.
The internal affairs schedule began to be compared and assigned their respective tasks.
Due to the siege battle in the previous copy space, the city defense of the fourth-level fortress was somewhat damaged. Fortunately, Liu Yifei's side did not have any siege equipment. Except for the main gate of the fortress and the walls on both sides, which were a little damaged,
Other places can be restored to good condition with a little repair.
But the trouble is the materials to repair the city defense.
Before Liu Yifei set off from the Ghost Clan, he took into account financial reasons and brought a lot of gold coins with him, but that was only for RPG adventure. If he invested it in territory construction, the money would not be enough. As for other
The construction uses stone, wood, etc., and it is impossible for him to carry those things with him~
The designers of the dungeon missions considered various possibilities, and even designed perfect prizes such as fortress rewards, but they never thought that someone would use the fortress immediately after getting it, and the situation was urgent, so there were only a few pitiful people in the city.
Except for stone and wood, all other resources are zero.
Considering the need for city defense, Alfred funded two large city-defending catapults and four medium-sized city-defending catapults. There was also some wood and stone, but it was far from enough to last three days.
Especially during these three days, Liu Yifei wanted to properly build this fortress, at least to upgrade the second-level lord magic tower for him, so that he could gain two more second-level lord magics.
Liu Yifei first found the old lizard people chief. Firstly, this guy was quite intelligent. Secondly, he was a local snake after all. No one was more familiar with the surrounding situations. These swamp residents were also in contact with the surrounding areas.
The gangsters and bandits have business relationships, and they may also be able to contact those underground organizations.
After asking about it, I learned a lot.
This fortress is adjacent to the Hope Swamp, so there is definitely no shortage of wood. There are three suitable wood mining sites in the swamp alone, and one of them is a large resource site with very rich sources.
Stone is a bit troublesome. It is surrounded by plains and hilly areas and there are no suitable stone mining sites. However, the old leader of the lizard people knows the entrance to an underground passage. After entering the underground passage, you can find one by walking less than two miles.
Stone resource point, there is even a barren gold mine surrounding it.
Liu Yifei meant to win there quickly, but the terrible thing is that there is also a group of underground Dongxue troops stationed there. In terms of strength, it was difficult for the previous swamp tribes to defeat, but for Liu Yifei today, it is as difficult as
Nothing left
Hum~ Dongxue person? A pure smile appeared on Liu Yifei’s face~
