In the Battlefield of All Nations, after the guild league started, the battlefield was cut off from the outside world, so Shen Fan and others in the Battlefield of All Nations had no way of knowing about the attack on Wushuang City.
After the defense deployment of Qifeng City was completed, Shen Fan summoned Liu Wei and others to discuss plans to attack other cities.
"The Guifeng Mountain Range is located at the southwest end of the Battlefield of All Nations. It is relatively far away from the core area of the Battlefield of All Nations. In addition to the Guifeng Mountain Range, there are not many cities around us. There are no close cities to the south and north of Qifeng City. To the east Due to the barrier of the abyss, there are quite a few cities, including the initial cities of three players..." Hidden Wolf reported the information it had discovered.
"Do those cities in the east area have strong NPC forces?" Shen Fan asked.
"It's difficult to find out specific information, but there are quite a few cities with quite a lot of garrisons, hundreds of thousands of people, and the garrison leaders are all powerful men at the feudal level." Yu Qiu said.
The NPC army that can be stationed in the Battlefield of All Nations must not be an ordinary existence. The Battlefield of All Nations is a battlefield where we compete for resources. The competition between various NPC forces is very fierce. There are often large NPC forces due to some rare reasons. Large-scale conflicts broke out over resources.
The city discovered by Yu Qiu, Yin Lang and others in the east area of Qifeng City is a group of cities. They are not large cities. They are similar to Qifeng City. It is still possible to garrison one or two million people in a short period of time, but if you want to allow hundreds of With ten thousand people living for a long time, the space for activities is a bit crowded.
Therefore, the general garrison in a city will not be too many. A few hundred thousand is considered too much. Unless it is a super city in the core area, it will be the same as the real main city.
"Those cities were built around a large metal vein, and the garrison mainly mined that metal vein. This metal vein produced a metal called obsidian, which is a rare metal material and is suitable for building high-quality military products. Standard armor or weapons, this metal is valued by all major NPC forces in the battlefield of all nations." Liu Weiyou gave some information.
"That means that the NPC armies stationed in the cities in the eastern area will not be weak, and they may be sent by some large NPC forces to mine ore." Shen Fan said.
"This may be bigger." Liu Wei nodded and said.
Shen Fan looked at the guild city distribution map again and found that beyond the city group in the east area, there were more player cities. Considering the geographical location, there were probably more cities there.
"Get ready, take down all the city groups in the east area tonight."
There won't be many collisions between player guilds tonight, because everyone can't confirm which guild is around them for the time being, and they won't suddenly go into battle. The main thing is to strengthen the initial city.
However, players who are close to each other must be in contact with each other tonight. In addition, players watching the live broadcast have seen it, so after tonight, the information about the initial cities of player guilds in various countries will be transmitted. Yes, then the battle between player guilds will not really begin until two days from tomorrow.
Shen Fan's plan is to capture the city group in the east area of Qifeng City tonight, and then use this city group as a springboard to expand outward.
The geographical location of Qifeng City is very good. It is backed by the Guifeng Mountains. It is impossible to attack Qifeng City through the Guifeng Mountains.
There is another huge abyss on the east side, a natural barrier that can block attacks by players without flying mounts, unless an elite army with flying mounts is dispatched.
Furthermore, the area where Qifeng City is located is a depression in the Guifeng Mountains. The north and south sides are on the edge of the Guifeng Mountains. There is almost no city. If you want to attack Qifeng City from the north and south, you almost have to attack it from the east. The Piancheng Pool Group passed by.
At least if you don't attack Qifeng City from the direction of Guifeng Mountain Range, the army that appears in the city group in the east area will be easier to detect.
Therefore, as long as the city group to the east is captured, with the superior geographical location of Qifeng City, Wushuang Guild does not need to leave too many troops to guard Qifeng City.
"All members of the Lingyun Army's third fleet and the city guard army will stay in Qifeng City. You, Shen Yuanyi, will also stay with your beast control group. During this period, you can enter the Ghost Wind Mountains and enslave a group of monsters to serve as the city's defense force. "Shen Fan began to issue instructions.
The Lingyun Army's third fleet and the three armies of the City Guard Army have a strength of 600,000. Together with the energy cannons, giant ballistas and other energy weapons they are mainly responsible for, it is enough to defend Qifeng City.
In addition, the beast control group led by Shen Yuanyi can control more than a million monsters, among which there are more than stone war monsters.
"The Wushuang Army and the Tianzheng Army are all dispatched, as are the remaining special legions, all are dispatched!"
"We must capture the city group in the east area with all our strength. If we can avoid fighting and let them surrender the city automatically, then try to avoid collision with them. If that doesn't work, use force to take them down!"
"The Tianzheng Army directly crossed the abyss to attack, led by me, and immediately attracted the attention of the NPC garrison!"
"The Wushuang Army is divided into two groups. The Fearless Army and the Dao-Destroying Army will follow each other and conduct raids around the abyss from the north and south sides of Qifeng City. Brother Wei and Brother Yu will be the commanders. Qingqing and Grandpa Bai will also follow each other. ......."
More than ten minutes later, three armies broke out from Qifeng City. The strength of the three armies was around 400,000. All members of the Tianzheng Army led by Shen Fan rode flying mounts directly across the abyss to the east.
Liu Wei and Yu Dong each led three armies of the Wushuang Army, plus two armies of 400,000 composed of hidden assassin troops and some special regiments, rushing towards the north and south of Qifeng City respectively.
In addition to Zhao Qingyan and Bai Ning, many masters of the Peerless Legion, such as Jiuyao Star Envoy, Mei Yue, Shen Yue, Shen Ling and others, are scattered among the northern and southern armies.
The Tianzheng Army led by Shen Fan was very fast. After crossing the abyss, it quickly approached the city groups to the east. The NPC army stationed in those cities also discovered this sudden army and moved to the west. Several cities in front of them were issuing warning sounds, trying to get Shen Fan and the others to stop, and at the same time they began to mobilize the troops in the cities.
"I want to commandeer your city. You have two choices now. One is to leave with your people, and the other is to stay in the city and accept our close attack!" Shen Fan said loudly, and his voice spread. It can be heard in cities not far away.
"I only need the right to use these cities for three days. I will return them all to you in three days. I hope you can make accurate choices!"
Faced with the sudden appearance of a large army, demanding that they hand over the city they currently occupied, and saying that it would only take three days to requisition, the commanders of the garrison in these cities naturally regarded Shen Fan as a madman, and no one paid any attention to Shen Fan.
However, this was also within Shen Fan's expectation. It was impossible for these NPCs to hand over control of the city in vain!
