There were not many level 56 tasks in Ivas City, so Yun Xiaohan quickly completed them all, and also did some level 57 tasks by the way.
At 19:40, after being reminded by the players in the territory, Yun Xiaohan realized that he had forgotten to recruit this week's Cyclops. The bounty recruitment triggered earlier made Yun Xiaohan a little excited, so he forgot about it. He only remembered it now.
, he hurried to the city of Ajaccio to recruit.
Yun Xiaohan now has 120 units of crystals, which can recruit 2 Cyclops sub-giants. In addition to crystals, recruiting a Cyclops sub-giant also requires 200 gold. There are currently only 220 gold in the territory's books, and territory funds can no longer be used to recruit. Yun Xiaohan
I paid 400 gold myself.
At this stage, the investment of the Cyclops is far greater than the output. Each Cyclops costs 200 gold and 50 units of crystal, which is 250 gold, and each Cyclops can only recover 15 gold in rent every week.
, which means it will take 4 months to get back the money.
4 months. Yun Xiaohan himself has played few online games for more than 4 months. He usually changes games after playing for about 3 months. But now it takes 4 months to pay back the money. This shows that the money back is paid off.
It was very slow, so recruiting cyclops was a loss-making business for a long time, and Yun Xiaohan needed to keep adding money to it.
What's more, the recruitment fee is not static and will increase based on labor costs. Although the rent will also increase, it may not be able to keep up with the increase in recruitment fees, so the cost recovery time is likely to be more than 4 months.
After the recruitment was completed and the cyclops were assigned, Yun Xiaohan went offline to rest.
When going online again, a system announcement came unexpectedly: "[The Battle to Recapture Slatersburg] The plot battle is about to begin. The attacking Central Empire (Empire) will try to retake Slater from the defending Northern Empire (Northern Kingdom).
Fort. The progress of the empire players in this battle will be led by the empire players in Nancy City. Other empire players are asked to pay attention to the battle progress and actively participate in it."
The following is a brief introduction to this battle. It turns out that the Ziya Khanate (Khanate) was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Northern Kingdom because it was worried that the ice-free port that it had finally captured - "Port of Riga" would be recaptured by the Northern Kingdom.
The country asked the empire for help.
On the one hand, the empire hopes to maintain the balance of power between the Northern Kingdom and the Khanate and allow the two countries to continue fighting; on the other hand, it is unwilling to fight life and death for the benefit of the Khanate.
Therefore, the Empire came up with an idea, that is, to retake Slaters Fort and open up a second battlefield. Once Slaters Fort, which has an extremely critical strategic location, is lost, the Empire will be able to march straight into the hinterland of the North Kingdom to attack, so the North Country must mobilize a large number of troops.
If it is strictly guarded and defended, the initiative in the war will be in the hands of the empire. It will not only regain the lost territory and strengthen the protection of its northwest region, but also greatly reduce the war pressure on the Khanate.
As soon as this strategic plan was proposed, it was immediately approved, and even the Khanate recognized it. After all, the empire and the Khanate had different customs, and the main combat arms and combat modes were also very different. They had to come together to form a coalition.
It is also difficult to achieve the effect of 1 1 = 2. In the last battle of Mannheim, the two sides did not form a coalition, they just fought on their own.
In addition, the confidence of the Khanate in the first server is also insufficient. In the Battle of Mannheim Delta in other servers, the Empire and the Khanate attacked the Northern Kingdom from both sides. In the previous battles between the Empire and the Northern Kingdom, they were at a disadvantage or in a stalemate, so it can be said that the Khanate was at a disadvantage.
The country helped the empire.
But the situation in the first server was completely different. Due to Yun Xiaohan's outstanding performance, the Empire defeated the Northern Kingdom alone, while the Khanate took advantage of the emptiness behind the Northern Kingdom to directly attack the Northern Kingdom and seize the ice-free port they had longed for.
Access to the sea can be said to be a big bargain. In this case, the empire naturally does not owe the Khanate a favor, but the Khanate owes the Empire a favor.
Now that the Northern Kingdom has captured the Port of Riga, the Northern Kingdom has no choice but to ask for help from the Empire. They are also very shameless, and if they join forces with the Empire in this situation, the Empire will definitely be the stronger party, and the dominance of the coalition will definitely be lost.
Falling into the hands of the empire, the Khanate did not want to see such a situation.
Besides, if they ask the Empire for support, the Empire will definitely enter the Port of Riga to help defend it. It is easy to ask the gods to give up but it is difficult to give up the gods. The Northern Kingdom will definitely not be willing to give up the Port of Riga. Otherwise, the Empire will station its troops in the Port of Riga for a long time, burdening the Empire.
The logistical supply of reinforcements is what it should be, so I won’t mention it. The key point is who has the final say in the port of Riga? This is obviously unacceptable to the Khanate.
Therefore, this strategic plan to recapture Slatsberg was highly recognized by both the Empire and the Khanate, and was quickly implemented.
Slatersberg was originally the territory of the Empire. The Empire has ruled here for a long time. Although it was taken away by the Northern Kingdom, the Empire still has enough influence and mass base here. It is not difficult to find internal agents.
However, due to the special terrain of Slatersberg, the rapid currents of the Rhine River, numerous reefs, and difficulty in passing, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible for the empire to invest a large number of troops at once to launch a frontal recapture battle, and can only arrange elite troops
A small group of dead warriors first sneaked into Slatersburg, causing chaos in the city and supporting subsequent imperial troops to enter the city.
Players play the role of this small elite army of dead soldiers. Only 500 players are allowed to participate in this battle. Players cannot bring private soldiers into the battle, but followers can participate in the battle.
The fact that followers can participate in the war means that Garibaldi and Charles John can participate in the war, and Maurice is 80% able to participate in the war, so he is considered half a follower.
Territory pets were not mentioned, but Yun Xiaohan felt that they could be brought, because the system did not say that they could not be brought. However, "Xiahou Dun" has not been trained yet. Even if he started practicing for three consecutive days now, he would not be able to level up.
Going into battle means risking death. It is estimated that the only ones who can really take the cyclops into battle are the other two cyclops adopted in the first week (Xiahoudun occupied one of the places in the first week). The cyclops adopted in the next two weeks are still at a higher level.
Low, useless.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although there will only be two Cyclops giants participating in the battle at most, Yun Xiaohan can already foresee that they will steal the show.
The progress of the imperial side players in this battle is led by players from the city of Nancy, one of the eight main cities of the imperial players. The starting point for the imperial players is Mulhouse, located on the south side of the Rhine River, and Slates, located on the north side of the Rhine River.
The fort faces each other across the river.
Just like the previous [Slattersberg Attack and Defense], all the players in other main cities of the empire can do now is to wait for the players in Nancy City to complete the guide story and achieve a high level of campaign progress, and then the players in other main cities can
You can apply to join this campaign progress.
The cooperation with Zero Guild last time was very good. If we can fight three battles this time, I will definitely cooperate with them again. However, the plot guidance in Nancy City may have just started, and the battle progress has not been released.
The specific situation is not yet clear. It is a bit early to say this. We will have to look at it later.
Yun Xiaohan still likes to fight in battles. On the one hand, most men have a dream of being a general. He really enjoys the process of commanding troops, which makes him feel very fulfilled. On the other hand, he can gain a lot from every battle.
The big benefit is, maybe you can get another skill slot this time.
Yun Xiaohan has already obtained multiple battle achievements. His attributes and combat power bonuses are very high, which gives him a huge advantage in the battle. What’s more, he also has the commanding skill [Heart of Commander] as a foundation and commanding ability.
It has been strengthened a lot, and the fact that his followers can participate in the battle is also very beneficial to him, so Yun Xiaohan is quite confident.
Putting aside the battle for the time being, Yun Xiaohan started leveling up.
At 16:00 on March 25, Yun Xiaohan completed a day of leveling activities, and his experience increased to level 57 with 89.8%, and he will be able to reach level 58 tomorrow.
A piece of yellow equipment and a skill book were released today. The skill book was okay, but Yun Xiaohan had no use for it, so he sold it. The skill books were very easy to get, and someone took them after just shouting in the territory.
Sold for 35 gold.
The yellow outfit that comes out is a yellow ring.
Yun Xiaohan didn't have any use for this ring, so he gave it to Morris, but he was not of a high enough level to wear it yet.
The yellow leather armor clothes I bought yesterday have been sold for 28 gold. The top speed leather armor shoes that Yun Xiaohan had kept in his hands before (level 50 yellow leather armor shoes, 70 strength, 70 constitution
, 70 agility, 10% movement speed) and he doesn’t plan to stay anymore.
Yun Xiaohan originally wanted to use this shoe in exchange for skills, but he had no shortage of skills, so he never used them. Now that there are more and more players above level 50, the value of the shoes will depreciate if they are not sold.
Although these shoes do not come with equipment special effects and skills, they increase the movement speed a lot, which is especially important for long-range professions. They are very useful in kiting leveling and PK, so they are extremely popular. Yun Xiaohan shouted in the territory
A group of people came out to fight, and the last group of people raised the price to 62 gold before the transaction was completed. Yun Xiaohan originally expected to sell it at around 40-45 gold, but he did not expect the price to be so high. As expected, there are still many wealthy people wearing leather armor.
After going to Ivas City to collect the crystals, Yun Xiaohan teleported to Ivas City.
A batch of buildings in Ivas City have just been upgraded to level 5, and the fishing factory has also been built and upgraded to level 2. It has already started to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 under Garibaldi's arrangement.
The level of the fishing factory is low, and it can be upgraded quickly. It takes 32 hours (40) to build a level 1 building, and 48 hours (60) to build a level 1 building. Level 2 is 48 hours (60). The time in the bracket is the theoretical time, and the time in front of the bracket is affected by [Nobility and Integrity]
The actual construction time after that, that is to say, it only took 80 hours from scratch to upgrade the fishing factory to level 2, while it took 96 hours (120) to upgrade from level 4 to level 5, so the fishing factory was built
Even though it was done twice, it was still completed faster than other buildings.
After the fishing factory is built, Parason, an 8-star fisherman, will no longer have to do nothing. Yun Xiaohan spent a full 400 gold to recruit him, so it would be a big loss not to use him.
The fishing factory can directly fish, which can increase a large number of fish catches. In addition, north of Bastia City is the "Corsica Fishing Ground", one of the four major fishing grounds in the Yare continent. The quality of the catch is as good as the fish.
The number of groups is very high.
In addition, the fishing factory can also manufacture professional fishing boats. Although the city of Bastia previously had the "Corsica Fishing Ground", the fishing industry was not developed due to the backward shipbuilding level. Now this shortcoming has been eliminated.
To fill in, not only will the fishing factory itself have professional fishing boats, but the fishing boats in the other three fishing grounds will also be updated, so the increase in catch will be quite astonishing.
The fishing factory can also produce seafood and sell it to the outside world, but the products are mainly fresh raw fish products and pickled products. Together with the cooked seafood dishes produced by Seaver's restaurant, a relatively complete industrial chain has been formed, thus greatly improving the efficiency of the industry.
The income of Bastia City. Of course, the output of restaurants cannot be compared with that of fishing factories.
Yun Xiaohan roughly estimated that the direct income of this level 2 fishing factory plus the associated income of the entire industry chain can at least increase the income of Bastia City by 20 gold/day, not to mention that the fishing factory is currently just
Level 2, it can be upgraded to level 5, and its economic value can be imagined.
Level 5 docks, level 5 grocery stores, and level 5 churches can also bring 8 gold/day income to Bastia City. After all, the higher the building level, the stronger the effect and the greater the income increase. In this way, the total
This increases the income by 28 gold/day.
Bastia City previously recruited 2,500 territorial soldiers, including 400 cavalry, and raised 500 horses, so the income and expenditure became -22 gold/day. Now that the income has suddenly increased, the deficit has suddenly increased.
It’s gone, and there is still a profit of 6 gold/day.
If we do not count additional expenses such as soldiers' salaries and the cost of imported food (unique to Ivas City, which has insufficient food production), and only count the total income after deducting building maintenance fees, Bastia City has regained its position as the highest income earner.
.
However, the city of Ajaccio has not yet built a few level 4 buildings, and its income potential is still higher than that of the city of Bastia, which is only temporarily ahead.
Because the catch of fish has been greatly improved, Bastia City's current level 4 warehouse and level 4 granary are a bit insufficient. At this time, Garibaldi's high AI is reflected, and he takes the initiative without Yun Xiaohan's instructions.
The upgrade of warehouses and granaries was arranged, and the fishing factory that was already being upgraded occupied another building queue. The last building queue was given to Sif's restaurant, upgrading it from level 4 to level 5.
Next, Yun Xiaohan teleported to the city of Ajaccio to do daily work in the territory, and also organized people to download the dungeon.
Today was relatively smooth. I won all three qualifying matches. It wasn’t that Yun Xiaohan’s team was strong, but that his opponents were not strong. Apart from a lot of idiots, there were only two internal fights. There was no way to work together to deal with Yun Xiaohan.
Xiao Han.
The three dungeons were all levels 2-3 and 2-4. Because the personnel were not strong enough, the process was still a bit bumpy, with a lot of deaths and the team was wiped out twice. Fortunately, Yun Xiaohan was very powerful and his teammates were obedient.
It was over in the end, but it took a little too much time.
At this stage, there are already many teams that can pass levels 2-4. It is no longer the exclusive property of Yun Xiaohan. After all, the BOSS in levels 2-4 is only level 55. There are already many T-positions at level 53. In addition,
Levels 2-4 are not too difficult. If other teammates are strong enough, they can still push through.
As a result, Yun Xiaohan's dungeon progress was caught up, and he only passed levels 2-4.
PS: Don’t blame me for being late in changing. If I didn’t use my paranoia to do this, I would stop updating again. I’m too busy these days with work. I have some time to decorate my daughter’s school district room. It’s not like that.
I don't have time to type. I haven't been to the book club for almost 2 months, and I haven't read the book review section much. If I don't do this, I will stop updating like I did last month. Please bear with me and forgive me.
