As Ye Shang had speculated before, Hellfire, the current lord of the Ascart Territory, launched a war against the Carlton Territory at twelve noon, about an hour before he went online.
The reaction within the Ascart territory was not beyond Ye Shang's expectation. It may have been the foreshadowing last night. Although there were sporadic objections, no one really stood up and resolutely protested. The presidents of the major guilds
As well as the leader of the large team, they all remained silent as promised.
Without encountering much resistance, and the lord of the Carlton Territory almost immediately publicly expressed his acceptance, Hellfire's act of launching a war was naturally a matter of course, and the Ascart Territory and the Carlton Territory also entered a state of war.
However, entering a state of war does not mean that things are over. Rather, for all players in Ascart Territory and Carlton Territory, especially the lords, this is the real beginning.
First of all, after entering a state of war, some relatively small supply points within the Ascart Territory and Carlton Territory, especially near the border areas, need to be removed as soon as possible, and both materials and NPCs must be gathered and concentrated.
Set up some fortifications in a few places and send players to protect them.
This is natural. Don't forget, there is no such thing as a city recall scroll in "God's Domain". As a result, supplies will definitely become a very critical link in the long war.
However, whether it is removing supply points or gathering supplies and NPCs, it is actually not something that the system will do, but the responsibility of the players, or more accurately, the lords. "God's Domain" is originally a game that has very little interference with players.
, it can be said that except for the most basic system services and data statistics, most actions require players to complete them independently.
This is probably the laziest virtual game system ever created.
In addition, whether to take the initiative to attack the city and capture the territory, or to defend and counterattack and wait for the rest, or some other strategic policy, is also a matter that needs to be decided urgently by the lord. This decision is likely to lead the direction of the entire war, and even directly affect
to the final result.
Of course, it does not mean that all players in the lord's territory will obey the decision. Regardless of the supporters, the other players may not necessarily obey 100%. At this time, one of the most common methods in the game needs to be used -
Task.
What you must first know is that during a war, a special war section will appear on the system bulletin board, which includes personal or team data such as the day's kill ranking, contribution ranking, and honor ranking. In addition to these rankings, there is a war section.
Mission accomplished.
The person who issued the war mission was none other than the lord.
Through well-rewarded and more purposeful war missions, the lord will undoubtedly be able to make most players in the territory follow the strategic guidelines he has decided to carry out and promote the war, but it does not mean that the lord wants to issue any missions.
There are still many restrictions on what tasks can be released.
For example, the most important experience reward is automatically determined by the system based on the difficulty of the task, and the monetary reward is taken from the territory's funds. Perhaps the only reward that the lord can freely set is the honor value.
Unfortunately, honor points are not something that can be given casually. They are linked to military honors. Players with military ranks can receive a large amount of money from territory funds every week. Players with a certain military rank and above also have a lot of money.
Some privileges that the lord despises, such as the Grand Marshal with the highest military rank, if the lord wants to expel him, he needs the support of more than 70% of the players in the entire territory to do so.
This is a terrifying ratio that is 30% higher than that of elected lords, not to mention that military ranks have no duration, and the reduction of honor points in non-war conditions is also very slow.
However, the military rank level is not that easy to improve. You must know that in the more than a year since the server of "God's Domain" was launched, the highest military rank that has appeared is a major, which is four levels away from the generalissimo. The difficulty is obvious, and it can be compared with the specialization skill level.
The improvement is comparable.
As for the fastest way to obtain honor points, it is naturally war. Killing enemy territorial lords during war can even obtain a huge amount of honor points at once.
By the way, after entering a state of war, the IDs of players in hostile territories will turn blue, and players in hostile territories will receive more honor points than usual after being killed. The death penalty for being killed by players in hostile territories will be reduced.
Half, this effect only takes effect within the territory of both parties, and only takes effect in battles between players in both territories. Death in other states will be calculated according to the normal death penalty.
This setting is inevitable, otherwise even if the war mission rewards are generous, the disproportionate gains and losses will inevitably greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the players.
Entering a state of war will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the entire territory, and it will also directly affect every player. Not to mention anything else, the individual players in the Askart territory who were originally planning to level up or download a dungeon now have to go to the system.
Check the bulletin board to see what war missions are worth grabbing, or start looking for a team. A good team can help them get more benefits in the war and save them a few deaths.
Non-individual guild or team players will basically receive summoning orders from the guild or team, such as Ye Shang.
As early as the first time it went online, two consecutive system prompts came to Ye Shang's ears. One was the team information sent by the group leader Ao Cang, and the other was the reserved information from Lian Xinglan. The content was almost the same.
, all requiring him to go to the team gathering point immediately.
Ye Shang didn't waste much time and went straight to the usual gathering point of the team. However, as soon as he stepped through the door, he got a completely different reaction than usual.
In the past, Ye Shang's situation in the team was obviously similar to that of the real school. He was so low-key that he was almost forgettable. Only people close to him would notice him. But now, all the team members are in awe the moment he steps through the door.
He paid attention, and his eyes were full of meaning.
If things go wrong, there must be a demon, but Ye Shang also knows what the demon is. It is nothing more than the duel with Bingyu last night. All I can say is that the reputation of "Zero Degree Beauty" is really great.
In fact, not only because of Bingyu, Ye Shang's performance in last night's duel also attracted many people's attention. As a thief, he didn't need to sneak. The final winning blow made everyone's eyes shine.
It has also brought skills such as "quick switching" that are equated with junk specialization back into the eyes of many players.
It can be said that Ye Shang led a revolution in specialization skills, and more and more players began to explore the unknown effects of specialization skills. Of course, these are all things for a later date.
It didn't matter if he became the focus of the whole team's attention. After Ye Shang completely stepped into the team gathering point, these eyes didn't show much intention to move away, which made him frown. Fortunately, there was a person with a purple ponytail shaking soon.
The girl with braids and a professional disregard for the atmosphere came over to break the deadlock.
"Xiao Shang, you're here."
Seemingly not noticing that the person he was talking to was currently being watched by everyone in the group, Lan showed a sweet smile without hesitation. Seeing such a familiar and cute face, Ye Shang, who had frowned just a second ago, couldn't help but feel...
He relaxed and no longer cared about the eyes around him.
The members of the group did not continue to watch without knowing it. After seeing Ye Shang and Lan talking to each other as if there was no one around, they all withdrew their gazes.
In fact, even if the team members wanted to keep paying attention to Ye Shang, they couldn't do it, because at this moment, a huge figure with a height of more than two meters appeared in front of everyone, and then, a low voice like a bell sounded clearly.
The whole team gathers together.
"Everyone must know that just an hour ago, our Ascart Territory and Carlton Territory entered a state of war."
With a huge body, there is no doubt that only the group leader Aocang can speak so openly. In fact, this is exactly the case. While speaking, his sharp eyes wandered around everyone. When he passed by Ye Shang, he was obviously deliberately
He paused for a moment, but soon left.
"I plan to lead a team to participate in this war. Those who want to join can come to me to apply. If you have other plans, don't force it. During the war, there will be no general team activities."
"Xiao Shang, are you going?" Just as Ao Cang finished speaking, Lan on the side immediately asked Ye Shang for his opinion, which was her usual approach.
"No way." Without too much hesitation, Ye Shang shook his head, and then added, "You know I don't like PK."
"Then I..." It was most likely that she was affected by Ye Shang's answer. Lan, who seemed to have made up her mind at first, frowned slightly and became hesitant. However, before she could make a decision again, Ye Shang's voice sounded.
Came again.
"You'd better go. It's safer to follow the leader. Don't worry about me." Looking at the troubled Lan, Ye Shang said with a smile. As he said, as one of the twenty-three heroic weapons in the entire "God's Domain"
The owner and leader Aocang does have the trustworthy capital, and coupled with his professional characteristics as a holy knight, the safety factor of the team led by him will definitely be much higher than that of many teams.
"Okay." Seeing the serious look in Ye Shang's eyes, Lan pouted and compromised.
