Here I would like to briefly introduce the geographical location of Cassis City and Masset City. Cassis City is located southwest of Masset City, some distance away from Masset City. Since the Masset area is mainly composed of more traditional military
It is controlled by the nobles, so the city of Masset is not a port city. It was originally a highly militarized fortress city, but with the strong commercial atmosphere, it began to gradually become commercialized.
However, due to the military threat of the empire and the insistence of the military nobles in the city on tradition, Masset City still adhered to its bottom line to a certain extent. After three reconstructions, Masset City finally became the semi-military city it is now.
A semi-commercial regional military and administrative capital.
Although Masset City is not a port city, there is no shortage of port cities around it, but it is too close to the front line. If the main force of the Merchant Alliance turns back, it will not take too long to get here, so Yun Xiaohan does not
Dare to lead the attack there, but chose the safer southwest hinterland direction.
Due to the fast forward state, less than a minute into the march, red shirt soldiers returned to report that they had discovered a large village ahead. Yun Xiaohan was still unable to participate in the battle at this time, so Garibaldi and Morris were still in charge of the attack, but this time
Yun Xiaohan made adjustments in the distribution of troops.
This time Garibaldi only brought 3,000 more elite people, including 1,000 people from the Red Shirts, Guards, and Thunderstorm Legion, as well as 500 mountain veterans from Ivas City. In addition, he brought NPCs with strong personal combat capabilities like Parolo
They all assigned it to Garibaldi, who was responsible for making on-the-spot tactical changes to the Arrancar.
Morris, on the other hand, commanded the remaining nearly 7,000 people. Yun Xiaohan's 25 private soldiers and the two army mages he had just obtained from Nelson were also assigned to him, and he was responsible for commanding the frontal positional battle.
As soon as this personnel allocation order was issued, Morris's favorable impression of Yun Xiaohan increased a lot, just shy of being promoted to "familiar". This shows how much Morris hopes to be recognized and valued by others.
There were only about 200 guards in this large village, but there were tens of thousands of people on Yun Xiaohan's side. Naturally, they all came down in one fell swoop. Before Garibaldi had time to take action, Morris only directed two rounds of covering fire. The enemy
It collapsed, and all that was left was to capture prisoners.
Next, Yun Xiaohan did not waste any time and directly left 300 soldiers of the Sea Lion Legion behind, asking them to force the people in the village to come out to carry supplies just like they did in Cassis City, and then left behind an accompanying mage given by Nelson.
Signal, and ask the other party to catch up after sending the signal. The two accompanying mages both have horses, so there is no need to worry about them not being able to catch up with the team.
Yun Xiaohan continued to move forward with the main force. After walking for a while, he found another large village. He had to admit that although the empire's territory was much larger than that of the Merchant Alliance, the territory of the Merchant Alliance was indeed more prosperous than the empire, with villages and cities.
It is obviously denser, and the population of the village seems to be larger.
After capturing the second village, Yun Xiaohan discovered another trading post. A trading post usually only has two buildings, a trading house and an inn. It is a place for merchants to rest and buy and sell supplies. It is impossible for merchants to have every one of them.
All villages go there, and they sell the supplies at the trading post, and some villages will take the initiative to come to the trading post to trade. Therefore, the trading post basically has no defense power, but it can grab a lot of supplies, which is still very cost-effective.
In this way, when the time came to 20:00, Yun Xiaohan had captured two villages and a trading post, and rushed to the third village.
As soon as the time reaches 20:00, the system's restrictions on Yun Xiaohan are lifted, and he can participate in the war in person. However, the fast-forward effect is gone, and the time flow rate becomes a normal flow rate, and the overall efficiency of the war suddenly drops.
Come down.
Yun Xiaohan's personal strength is indeed outstanding, but the impact of personal strength on a war of this scale is very small. What is more critical is his command ability.
Compared with NPCs, Yun Xiaohan's command ability is somewhat weak.
The first is the command BUFF. Yun Xiaohan has not learned command skills, so he cannot provide command BUFF to the soldiers under his command. Fortunately, Garibaldi is a follower of Yun Xiaohan and can share his command BUFF, but Garibaldi must always
Only within Yun Xiaohan's command range.
Although Yun Xiaohan has [Level Five Charm Growth] and his command range is not small, compared with players, his command range is not large at all when compared with NPCs, let alone compared with powerful NPCs like Garibaldi.
, which greatly limits Garibaldi's performance. Besides, Garibaldi may not be able to play in some situations, and then there will be no BUFF.
As for the actual command, Yun Xiaohan's command level is quite high, but NPC generals can cheat. It's like they can communicate with each other by heart. They can command directly without shouting or giving orders.
NPCs with command potential below five stars are okay. Their command range is limited and the number of NPC soldiers who can telepathically connect is also limited. They are not as good as Yun Xiaohan in commanding. NPCs with five stars and above, including five stars, are obviously more flexible in command than Yun Xiaohan, but the NPC
The adaptability is somewhat rigid and not as flexible as players, but it can still be compared.
But further up, the hero-level commanding NPCs are so awesome. They have a huge command range, a large number of NPCs with telepathic connections, high AI, and good adaptability. Players can't compare to them at all, let alone Garibaldi and Mo.
For a super NPC like Reese, there is simply a world of difference. Perhaps Yun Xiaohan's only advantage is that he knows how to command players better.
But now they are all NPCs and not a single player, so Yun Xiaohan is very self-aware and does not fight for command. Instead, he obediently goes to help the two super NPCs and contributes his own strength as the main force in the attack.
Just when Yun Xiaohan attacked the third village, Gloya City did not start fighting immediately.
At this time, the Merchant Alliance had only reached the first wave of troops, totaling only 50,000 people.
Napoleon has more than 12,000 troops (including the 100 players with the highest comprehensive scores in Acts 1 and 2). Liya has supported the past 10,000 people, and Balgruuf has supported 20,000.
There are also 15 player lords (player lords in the entire empire), because players cannot join the war with the player lords. The territories of these lords have not yet developed, and they do not have many territorial soldiers under their command. The level 1 barracks can only recruit 100 people, but
Not many are actually fully recruited, basically 20-50 soldiers, so the total number of 15 player lords does not reach 500.
This brings the total strength of the empire to close to 43,000, and they have the advantage of defending the city. The merchant alliance's strength at this time is simply not enough to attack the city, so they can only defend the city and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.
PS: This is from yesterday. I fell asleep when I came back last night. I recommend a new book written by Shehu, the old author of "Stone Emperor", "Wireless Westward Journey" and "Beauty Studio", with a new vest.
