After two days of fermentation over the weekend, from the beginning I just thought it was an accident and didn’t pay much attention to small things, to later I became suspicious and asked for evidence, until all the illusions were shattered at the last moment...
As a new week approaches, the word "war" has become the real theme on the game forum!
Not only were the parties involved, the elves and undead players started a war of words, but it even attracted a large number of players from other tribes to watch. After all, this was the first large-scale alien invasion war since the launch of the game! Players
How many are not surprising?
The name of the game is "War World", and everyone is mentally prepared for the subsequent upgrade of the battle scenes~
However, in the battle world, players are still in the initial stage of land reclamation after all (but compared to the "original history", this progress has actually been accelerated a lot). They have insufficient strength, insufficient weapons, and insufficient supplies... For those who are invaded
Players on the elf side can be said to be lacking in everything!
Then countless people saw how desolate the situation would be for a party that was suddenly crushed by war due to various lack of preparations:
The words "the whole country is filled with mourning and the flames of war are raging" are no longer enough to describe the scenes that those "lucky ones" saw after the war.
On the big map, "blood" and other sensitive materials are greatly weakened, and then the corpses will be quickly refreshed by the system. The game environment is very suitable for the relaxed atmosphere of mainstream players;
But in battle...
The strong smell of blood and burnt smell that fills the nose, the mutilated corpse of the deceased, the face full of fear and panic before death, etc. are all terrifying elements that can induce nightmares!
This is because thanks to the official "Video Patch" previously, the videos privately shot and released by players will be forcibly censored if they involve these too cruel scenes. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be "bloodshed" on the forum after the start of the new week.
"Drifting oars", "causing people discomfort"~
Underneath the videos that reveal the destructiveness of war and the cruelty of the scenes from all corners, there are also many discussions left by the original authors of the videos or "fellows" who have personally experienced the war, all emphasizing that in the world of war,
, everything they experienced was far scarier and more realistic than what was shown in the video!
This is a game, but it is not just a simple game...
After the initial shock, the players soon overcame their amazement and discomfort at the war scenes (after all, for most non-witnesses, all they saw were coded pictures, and the impact was definitely far less than those who witnessed it), and turned to
We began to discuss topics that are truly related to the players' vital interests - gains and losses...
Whether there is any gain or not, it’s hard to say in detail at the moment, but anyway, there are a lot of people on the forum who badmouth and complain, saying that they suffered heavy losses in the war, and the officially designed game plot is full of shit~
In fact, it's right to think about it. With the help of "certain factors", the current level of prosperity in the game in terms of the number of people alone is millions more than the "same period in history". The elves are also a large population, so evenly divided
, if the player density is extremely high, there may be two or three times as many undead and demon tribes.
So many people have just passed through the ignorant period of knowing nothing about the game, and now they are either enjoying it or burying their heads in the game. In short, it is the time to show off their talents... For example, some people have finally caught up with powerful local NPC figures.
line, you can have a suitable angle to cut into the world, or the surrounding players have just formed a new relationship network and are just planning to gather together to do something...
As a result, just at this point, the undead tribe launched a wave of purges!
Not only was there an extreme bloodbath on the spot, but the most unique thing about the undead tribe is that they not only kill people, but also "steal corpses"!
All the people were killed, and not even the corpses were left behind. In one fell swoop, "people disappeared from thousands of miles away and birds flew from thousands of mountains" in the occupied area... The magic version is ruthless!!
Not to mention those players who were "forcibly reincarnated" after death, even the very few "lucky ones" who survived for various reasons will never even be able to wait until the day of "NPC refresh"!
In other games, the task is only completed or not. It’s great that this is the turn, but there is actually the embarrassment of no one to hand in the task after the NPC dies. How can this not make the players stunned?!
And after everyone's discussion on the forum, some people soon discovered that for those "lucky ones" who unexpectedly survived, the real troublesome test was still to come - first of all, their original strongholds were destroyed, and their products were completely lost.
The food rations of the lucky ones will become a big problem, and then there will be even more troublesome problems, such as the possibility of encountering the subsequent search and suppression by the undead army...
Although the "lucky ones" still have a temporary role as "scavengers" and try the possibility of getting rich in the ruins of the stronghold... But the problem is that even if they really find treasures and equipment, if they can't take them out alive
, keep looking for the next suitable safe base, and when the time comes, you will have to throw away whatever you grabbed on the way to escape. That is definitely not a pleasant experience...
Surrounding this sudden war, in short, the majority of players are amazed, angry, happy, and sad. The forums are buzzing with activity data.
On the other side, Liu Yifei turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window and continued to delve into his own daily drama behind closed doors:
After the weekend battle, various new issues have been submitted to the desks of Liu Yifei and Morris, especially the arrival of support from the Elf side, which makes it possible to increase grain production in the short term. Some issues that have been temporarily avoided before must be taken seriously.
Considered.
First of all, the negligence in the resettlement of refugees in the southern border must be taken seriously!
What Liu Yifei meant was that in the future, Karava Castle would simply be treated as a frontline combat center, and Morris and other "internal affairs personnel" would simply take the initiative to retreat. This would not only allow them to go to the front line in person and guide local efforts to resolve refugee issues, but also avoid the possibility of disaster.
Once Kalawa was affected by the war, all the middle and high-level dignitaries in the territory were taken advantage of by the enemy, so they simply opened another "sub-base"...
It's just that the advice is not bad, but it may not necessarily be that way to the ears of caring people~
Although Morris was indeed a bit timid and afraid of death, he relinquished the command of the war very simply at the earliest... Wasn't that forced by the critical situation of the landslide at that time?
Now that the most terrifying first month of the war has passed, not only has the enemy's southern invasion been successfully delayed, but the key is that there are more and more manpower in Kalawa City!
To put it bluntly... I looked out through the doors and windows of the meeting hall. When I saw those elven archers standing on the city walls, watchtowers, and arrow towers, no one would be braver!!
Although the latest news shows that the enemy has at least received "reinforcements" from two legendary bone dragon beasts... But the disaster is not yet imminent anyway. Just looking at their own situation, it will get better day by day. Who would want to
Why don't you slap your butt and leave at this time?
Doesn’t this mean that the credit at hand should be pushed out...
Although Liu Yifei had already told Morris in a gentle manner that he could borrow tens of thousands of refugees to supervise the construction of a new stronghold in the south, and he would lead the effort, which would be a "contribution to building the city"...however, this
Why is the veteran leader just accepting death and refusing to leave at this time?
Liu Yifei did not expect that the issue at the beginning would be stumbled by the success of "his own family", so that it would be difficult to open a branch base...
No matter what, we had to temporarily separate Cuthbert and Jenny and go south together. The two of them only brought a small number of elite guards, mainly to retake command of the Southern Security Guards, and once again try to screen the civilians and soldiers, in order to eliminate the entire southern refugee camp.
All forces were mobilized to divert the manpower among them, prevent a large number of refugees from gathering to cause trouble, etc...
He was obviously a powerful battle general, but he was forced to engage in logistics construction...Liu Yifei was also made to lose his temper by Morrisgues, his "family member", and he thought that it was better to cultivate his own family background.
It just so happened that Cupid and the Shadowless Bandits were in Karava, so Liu Yifei simply "promoted" them and made these two "resident soldiers" (equivalent to the "country warriors" here in Erathia) in the elven reinforcements.
As the "messenger" who has gained Liu Yifei's trust and is responsible for the communication between the elves and humans in the rear, he helps Cuthbert, Jenny and the others, as well as the life messengers, druids and others who stayed in the south, to communicate through communication.
What’s more important is the emergency production increase of “magic food” that is about to be prepared!!
In fact, Liu Yifei also knows a lot about this aspect. After all, who has never been a lord in his previous life and planned carefully for his own small territory?
Now I pretend that I just got the details from the elves, and talk about all the situations together with everyone.
The elves' so-called "magic food" emergency increase in production is not just about picking some special food seeds, throwing them into the ground, and then randomly triggering magic to make them grow.
One of the very important factors is that it will "greatly destroy the life cycle of the land itself"!
To explain it in real terms, the original long growth cycle of crops can provide a "recovery" buffer for the fertility cycle of the land. Coupled with the scientific concept of crop rotation and fertilization, supplementary fertilizers, etc., the real grain production areas
It can produce food repeatedly throughout the year without worrying about soil fertility being destroyed and eventually becoming a "poor land" with shrinking output.
The "magic world" in the game also has a similar understanding of this. Of course, there are differences in details, conclusions, reasons, etc., but in short, the general argument is that "farming should be planned slowly, not in a hurry, let alone destroying it."
The principle of natural balance”…
For this reason, operations such as forcibly using life spells to ripen natural plants and magic crops will also be greatly resisted by "balanced" druids, because they believe that this behavior itself extremely violates the core "druids"
Follow the teachings of nature!
Because of this and other reasons, although the elves have always had relevant technical means, the details are not very advanced. They even concluded that "forcibly ripening plants will indeed seriously consume soil fertility in a short period of time.
As for the incorrect understanding of the subsequent serious decline of natural life in an area"——
In the words of later generations of players, this is simply a pot with "no fertilizer"! It has nothing to do with natural balance...
In order to ensure an endless supply of food harvest, how to solve the problem of land fertility has become an unavoidable topic - usually if there are similar operational needs, the elves prefer to choose to operate in places with abundant water flow and sufficient light. In fact,
It is also because the soil in these places is more fertile, and it is relatively difficult to destroy the original natural balance~
But around Karawa...
From a distance, it looks like a vast expanse of plains. If you want to have water and forests, it would be better to go to Onuma Lake further west...
There are so many things about the war, and all kinds of detailed issues are being discussed, even Liu Yifei is very annoyed. He has been busy all morning and has no time to drink water. He has just decided on some new courses of action, and then in the afternoon
I took a group of people and went straight to the "neighbor" I had just met a while ago.
When they first came to the lizard people's settlement, Liu Yifei and the others came on horseback. The road was bumpy and they had to find a way in, so they didn't walk very fast.
It was even slower the second time, and a batch of grain had to be escorted on the way. Liu Yifei was so anxious that he almost jumped.
But this time it was ridiculously fast. Not only could the army move easily, but the key point was also that it could go up and down! A small team of dozens of people could just ride over on a fourth-order Pegasus. The treatment was simply incredible.
Don't be too happy...
But this time, passing directly from the sky, it really allowed Liu Yifei to see clearly the living conditions of the lizard people settlement that he had visited twice before. Instead, it allowed Liu Yifei to see some clues... especially his team.
He also unexpectedly brought along a life messenger from the Elf tribe who specializes in life magic. This suddenly exposed some of the methods of the "tongueless" lizard man old witch doctor to Liu Yifei's sight!
By the time the Lizardmen hurriedly gathered a "reception team" to arrive again, Liu Yifei had already been chatting with the Life Messenger next to him for a long time with a weird smile on his face...
In fact, when passing over the opponent's stronghold before, Liu Yifei saw through the treetops in the forest a strange pond below that was specially dug out. It was long and narrow, and there was a small ditch directly connected to the mud pond river in front. It was an artificial sign.
It simply couldn't be more obvious.
Because he didn't go deep into the opponent's stronghold the first two times, probably to show that he had no ill intentions, Liu Yifei didn't even notice that there was such a strange facility deep in the opponent's settlement. This time he got a glimpse of its true appearance.
At the same time, the life messenger said more bluntly that there was an extremely abnormal high concentration of life energy reaction in the pond...
[It seems that this seemingly "shabby" outer lizardman settlement is really hiding here and planning something...]
With this in mind, Liu Yifei enthusiastically stepped forward for the third time to communicate with the old lizard man witch doctor who came to greet him.
But when the old lizard-man witch doctor opposite saw Liu Yifei again, his feelings were different~
Compared with the three experiences of meeting each other, the performance of the human side is getting stronger and stronger!!
The size and eliteness of the entourage, or the subtle attitude of the opponent, all demonstrate the strength of the opponent.
Especially after being reminded by the other party last time that there was about to be a "war" between humans and the undead in the east, the old witch doctor also sent his own people to investigate.
Although you are not allowed to come close for investigation, you can still notice the tight defense of the undead stronghold from a distance...
Especially later, even more terrifying reinforcements came from the undead... The shock of death was so profound that the tribesmen felt a terrible tremor that stung their eyes even if they looked at it from a distance, which shows how terrible the enemy of mankind is...
And in the face of such a terrifying opponent, this young man on the human side still has the leisure to run around. Doesn't this also show the power of human beings?
Especially this time, even elves with pointy ears appeared in the opponent's team...
Although in the old witch doctor's knowledge, he did not clearly understand the power of elves... but in short, it seems that the concept of "elves are very strong" has long been known throughout the continent, and now there are elves and others in the opponent's team.
That kind of powerful and noble "Pegasus"...
What kind of terrifying power is behind this young human being in front of him has already made the old witch doctor, who was not very worried at first, start to become suspicious...
Of course, the fundamental reason for being surprised and suspicious is that the other party has always been "persistent" with me, which has a lot to do with it~
I originally thought that we would not have more interactions with each other after the last meeting, and the old witch doctor would not be too worried about these humans who "intended to move westward", but now the other party suddenly said that they wanted to engage in "cooperative grain production"...
"... Produce food? But, General, we lizard people are different from you humans, and we don't know how to grow any food~ What kind of cooperation is this? The result is not..."
The old witch doctor's voice echoed faintly in his mind, but he actually wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth. How could Liu Yifei let go of these local natives so easily?
"Don't worry about this, witch doctor~"
When we talk about "cooperation" this time, we don't mean to select your people to work as farmers, but we both work together to run some temporary farms.
My idea is that I put forward specific planting needs, and you and your tribe can benefit from local advantages and find suitable grain-producing areas for us as soon as possible, and then our people will be responsible for farming and cultivating them.
Your people will help with other small things and take care of it.
After all, this is not our traditional area of influence, and we can't send a large army to specifically protect the food. But if we just leave it alone, the crops may be damaged by local birds and beasts, so I'll work hard to protect it.
If the cooperation intention is reached, then what I mean is that based on the final grain output, we will pay 30-70, and 30% of it will be regarded as your hard work, what do you think?"
