-----------------------------------------------
Cautiously lurking all the way, Liu Yifei and the others were slowly approaching the "City of Binahot" in the Macedonia Province.
As an ordinary medium-sized city in the border province, Binahot City is not a big deal. However, it has two of the largest mercury mines in the Macedonian province, providing more than 80% of the entire province. High-quality and high-grade mercury resources are naturally the "big gold mine" of Binahot City.
The main purpose of Liu Yifei's visit to Banliez this time was to use the illusion of the "elf army" to anger the other party, but the plan to make a fortune along the way had already been put on Liu Yifei's agenda.
Although the territory has not yet reached level 6, the construction and upgrading of the remaining buildings has been overseen by Tower Shield. However, Liu Yifei can only find a solution for the gap in resources~
Especially those high-quality resources of level six or seven cannot be bought on the market even if you have money [Firstly, there are very few high-level mineral points, and even fewer can fall into the hands of players. Secondly, others are not stupid. Selling it is equivalent to investing in the enemy, and you will always use it in the future, so the high-end resources in the hands of player lords are rarely sold, but some will occasionally flow out of the hands of individual players], and it is not a casual thought to get them together in one go. It's so easy to think.
Among them, what is particularly important to Liu Yifei right now is those high-grade mercury levels six or seven!
Although the territory cannot be upgraded to the seventh level yet, Liu Yifei plans to push the territory to the seventh level within three months. He will also build the "Dragon Bone Cemetery".
The "Dragon Bone Cemetery" requires the use of a large amount of sixth- and seventh-level high-quality mercury, a lot of gems, specific types of rocks and other resources, and these things are also hot commodities in the eyes of the undead player lords. In addition to the subordinates, In addition to plundering Leeds and Garswood, Liu Yifei really couldn't think of any better way to quickly accumulate the required resources. Therefore, Liu Yifei's second purpose of traveling this time was to rob!
As a "lizard bandit", you can make a fortune out of him in the territory of Benrez!
However, the closer we get to Binahot City, the more players there are wandering around in the surrounding area.
The group of Death God mercenaries brought by Liu Yifei have all been released. It can be said that a tight circle of full-angle active reconnaissance posts has been set up around the center of the lizard man army~
However, even so, more and more players have reached a point where Liu Yifei and others feel that they cannot avoid it.
Sometimes in order to bypass a group of players who are doing leveling tasks at the leveling point, they even have to make a large arc of two or three kilometers~
Now, let alone some unknowing robbery and other things that the public likes to see, it is even difficult to get close to the two mercury mines.
In addition to the increasing number of players around, the two resource deposits themselves are also a big problem.
Through the information revealed by a few words on the forum and the clips accidentally intercepted from some player videos, Liu Yifei roughly understood that the mercenary troops at those two mining sites were actually extremely powerful!
The third- and fourth-level regular ghost troops are just security posts on the periphery of the mine.
With the strong perception of the third-level necromantic mercenaries, they are suitable for detecting potential enemies around them. They can even be anti-invisible at the same time!
These spiritual creatures are semi-invisible units themselves. They are extremely resistant to various stealth skills and special effects. It is even difficult to deceive their senses by ordinary means~
And because of this, it is currently very popular among the ghost tribe for players who are mainly wizards to be reincarnated into the undead race at the third level.
The spirit trait has a basic 50% physical attack dodge rate, and an additional 25% reduction in actual physical damage. It is effective for both long-range and melee attacks. It also has racial talents that enhance perception attributes and resist various stealth skills, thus completely preventing death.
This eliminates the possibility of Necromancer players being instantly killed by professions such as archers and assassins at close range~
The qualifications for reincarnation of the third-level race are not too difficult. You only need to brush up some favorability points of the necromancy-type troops, and then accept more pointing tasks from the necromancy-type creatures, and you will have a higher chance of being reincarnated when you are reborn at the third-level.
qualifications.
In comparison, the "negative racial penalty" of reducing the "Strength" and "Physique" attributes by 25% each is simply nothing~
Who among the wizards relies on strength and physique? They don’t add much in the first place. Usually they add some just to wear robes and hold staffs. Just deduct them. Those dozens of attribute points are enough for a third-level purpose.
It’s not a big deal for players~
The only trouble lies in the fact that necromancy wizard players generally have a low HP limit because the "Physique" attribute cannot be increased too much. If you encounter a spell-damage elemental mage or a disciplinary priest profession such as the human race, it will be troublesome.
If not, you might be easily killed instantly. You must wear some additional jewelry or amulets that can significantly increase your HP limit to be safe.
But these are all digressions. The most troublesome thing for Liu Yifei right now is the presence of the undead mercenaries outside the mine. Even the god of death in his hand does not dare to get close to him at will. If he is discovered, the enemy will definitely
In an instant, a large army will be dispatched to sweep across the entire area to ensure the safety of their "big gold mine".
In addition to the undead, vampires are also the opponent's roving mobile sentries, which are used to clear the blind spots on the fixed sentry posts and ensure that the protected area is foolproof~
There are even some players who have been "miners" who claim to have seen corpse witches and black warriors in those two mines!
Liu Yifei didn't know whether these news were true, but if the other party really hid such damn things as corpse witches and black warriors in the mine site, it wouldn't take much, as long as it could have the size of a squadron, plus the geographical advantage.
With excellent weapons, it would be difficult for Liu Yifei and others to launch a frontal attack...
In addition to the inevitable presence of NPC mercenaries standing guard and outposts, Liu Yifei was also sure of a large group of player patrols.
You can't hide from this thing anywhere. Almost the more powerful NPC lords will issue patrol missions to players for "important locations" within their territory. There are six to ten patrols at various points a day. This type of mission is a whole plague.
The alliance has done a lot. Therefore, Liu Yifei knows very well that those players who have taken on the mission are actually more troublesome than the NPC Sentinels!
Maybe you saw that the other party was just there to fight monsters and do tasks. So you ignored them, and it turned out that they were just a group of guards who had taken the task and were on "alert"...
With all kinds of confusing and potentially useful information swirling in their minds, the two of them were finally less than five miles away from their destination.
Just in case, Liu Yifei asked Lone Hunting Doll to wait aside with everyone, and he would also inform her of Death's warning status through the team channel at any time. He himself would go up and check it out first. After all, Death did not dare to approach the resources too closely.
Clicking on the periphery, his eyes were darkened, and he just bumped into him. He was not here to rob, but to die~
[The Lizardman troops and the Solitary Hunter Doll will inevitably be exposed to the sight of NPCs. Therefore, the command of the Death Mercenaries cannot be given to the Solitary Hunter Doll, otherwise this matter will be ruined]
There were undead sentries on the other side, so it would be more convenient for Liu Yifei to pretend to be passers-by and walk over to investigate. Anyway, they had put on disguises before going out, so they would not be easily recognized by passers-by~
But when he took a closer look, Liu Yifei realized that he had thought of things too simply...
About two kilometers away from the resource mine, Liu Yifei encountered the opponent's first line of defense, which were some "NPC stations" scattered in the wild. They were inferior to "outpost towers" and were just
The simplest "detection point" is formed by a small team or a few NPCs plus some piles of rocks and wooden boxes.
These places are generally the "intermediate points" that players must pass through during patrol tasks. The task is to sign in and retain certificates one by one with these "NPC stations" around the patrol area, and complete the required number of laps within the specified time.
Then it's complete.
Don't look at the fact that most of these NPCs are just skeletons and corpses, cannon fodder among cannon fodder, and some are only in their twenties or thirties. They are only slightly stronger than the local monsters, and their equipment is extremely bad.
But this is the lord’s best spy!
Dispersing the excess cannon fodder forces throughout the territorial jurisdiction, even though NPCs cannot get system prompts immediately when their subordinates are attacked like player lords do, it can also help them strengthen monitoring and control of the area, and if their subordinates are still
If there are enough players to command at the grassroots level, it would be even worse, because players have such preferential treatment. Their subordinates are given troops to spread out to act as eyeliners. Once they are attacked, they can immediately report to their NPC superiors, and have better monitoring capabilities over the territory.
powerful!
However, the two wilderness stations that Liu Yifei saw did not seem to be under the command of a certain player. The name hanging above the opponent's head was just a simple description like "Skeleton [Zombie] Guards of Binahot City". It seems that they should
They are just ordinary soldiers under the name of city defense guards.
Not far further in, Liu Yifei unexpectedly encountered the first batch of resource point patrols - a vampire team with an undead mixed in!
Damn it~
The local Binahot City Lord actually incorporated the undead into the patrolling guards?
Liu Yifei couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't bring the God of Death with him, otherwise it would be completely over if he collided with him~
[If you remain invisible in the NPC guard zone, you will be regarded as a "hostile unit" by default. Once caught, you will have a hatred value. You must go to the city guard station for investigation. If there is something wrong, you will be jailed directly. If there is nothing, you will be released and arrested.
Kill on the spot]
Walking and looking all the way, Liu Yifei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat~
Damn it!
The Lord of Binahot must have taken the wrong medicine, otherwise why would he have arranged such a tight guard in the hinterland of his territory?
In just three to five minutes, Liu Yifei even encountered two groups of player patrols in addition to one vampire patrol...
Damn it!
So, the other party arranges two groups of people to patrol back and forth in "one shift" patrol batch?
This is really a trick, and it directly blocks the possibility of Liu Yifei and the others' secret operations!
Also~
When it was less than 500 meters away from the entrance of the resource mine, it was actually set up as a "military restricted area"! In other words, people without the permission of the lord were not allowed to enter at all!
this......
This is almost the same defense level as those secret research institutes of the Tower Clan, right?
It's just a resource deposit, why don't you be so surprised...
Although he did not enter the resource mine to see what was going on, Liu Yifei figured out another thing.
That means there are indeed high-level troops stationed here!
Because just by guarding the path at the entrance to the resource mine site, Liu Yifei saw a small group of black warriors...
"Hey, boss, how's the situation over there? Is it easy to start?"
Lone Hunter Doll's careful inquiry came from the team channel.
"It's not easy to handle. The opponent's defense system is very tight, and there are really high-level mercenaries... Damn it. He actually ambushed a small group of black knights at the intersection. Is it possible that there is still something down there?
Can he hide the Bone Dragon? I don't believe that there are no guards inside his mine."
Liu Yifei looked inside reluctantly and said helplessly.
"Then... how about we change places? Isn't there another mercury mine here? Go there and have a look. You can't say that you are going to attack when you come up, boss..."
This is actually what Lone Hunter Doll is most worried about.
Although the time I spent with Liu Yifei was not long, as a junior high-level executive in the territory, especially after gaining the status of "a classmate of the little assassin", the Lone Hunting Doll was indispensable at every conference held in the territory.
From the conversation, it was fairly clear what kind of personality their "lord boss" had.
To be continued...
