Chapter 548: Snake and Scorpion Rookie(1/3)
After frowning for a while, Liu Yifei did not come up with a new and effective plan to replenish troops.
This is the trouble with buying troops across races. Questions such as "it is difficult to train the troops and cannot improve the level after buying them" are all troubles after buying the troops. In comparison, how can we buy them stably and in a timely manner?
The alien soldiers are the real headache.
But if there is really no other way, Liu Yifei actually has a "preparatory plan" in hand.
This plan is quite simple, that is, let Lone Hunter Doll, an "elf player" who no longer has the status of serving in the alliance, simply take the elite dwarfs and lizardmen in the alliance, and then cooperate with a large number of complete souls
The crystal boosts its strength and uses it to guerrilla throughout the territory of Banlez and anger the NPC forces.
It's just that Liu Yifei is not sure whether this plan is really feasible.
After all, although the position of Lone Hunter Doll has been removed, she does have a "plague background". Liu Yifei has no way of knowing whether the NPC forces of Banlez will eventually identify her as an "elf member" or a "plague member"
", and if a group of dwarf troops from the Plague City power group are added to this... then it is estimated that this disaster will only be brought back to the Kingdom of Solna.
Therefore, even though Liu Yifei had thought of this method a long time ago, he was still unwilling to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
There was no choice. He could only contact Tower Shield immediately through a message in the forum, and asked him to mobilize quickly, and let the studio's branch on the elf side see if they could gather some troops. No matter how many, he would have them all.
Eat it, and then use the name of the studio to collect the elven soldiers...
Although the current Star Fighting Soul Studio has been deeply marked by the plague, it is very likely that Liu Yifei's plan will be further discovered... but they are already suspicious anyway, no matter how hard they hide it, there is no need to hide it.
In comparison, if we can gather a hundred and eighty elven mercenaries, there might be some hope of gathering another army...
In fact, Liu Yifei's requirements are not high. Just about five hundred mercenaries from the Elf tribe are enough for him to do a lot of things.
After all, he only needs a group with an elven background, and in terms of strength, he can completely strengthen it with crystal servants. Even if doing so may put the crystal servants in his hands in danger, this task is also Liu Yifei's.
What had to be done...
After making contact here, he turned around and asked Lone Hunter Baby how the battle was going. At this time, the battle between Lone Hunter Baby and the enemy was actually in full swing.
After Liu Yifei informed the Lone Hunting Doll about the opponent's general composition in advance, the two sides quickly contacted each other. These players from the Ghost King Army were quite courageous, and they directly divided a small group of people to guard the entire valley entrance ramp to ensure that there was no danger.
People can easily escape, and then lead the large troops rushing down the valley!
Their confidence is justified~
Although the prestige of their Ghost King Army has now been challenged... their background is still not comparable to other second- and third-rate small and medium-sized teams.
There is no first-class team in the kingdom except for the ghosts of Dalaran in the south. In a short period of time, the ghost king's army is not very afraid of outsiders taking advantage of the situation.
Therefore, they subconsciously regarded the attack on the stronghold as a random incident caused by some wild monsters, and did not take it too seriously.
After all, this kind of thing is not accidental. Strictly speaking, even when players settle in villages and build cities, they encounter wild monsters that attack the city in large numbers. It is a similar "wildlife rejection mechanism."
Creatures such as "wild monsters" will definitely cause continuous harassment to local lords. Even NPCs cannot completely avoid it. Even places close to the plateau such as Dickwell will be subject to various attacks due to winter.
The infestation of beasts has become a special seasonal event across the country, not to mention the territory of players who are far from powerful enough to compete with NPC forces.
Basically, whether it is mining or other things, as long as the player forces set up fixed strongholds in the wild, these strongholds will encounter attacks once or twice a week. It can also be regarded as a small test arranged by the system for each territory.
Right~
Usually, whether it is an outpost, a village, or a resource point, players with some strength will send dedicated personnel or mercenaries to garrison the territory. What they are guarding against is actually these wild monster troops that don't know when they will attack. Sometimes there are as few as two or three.
Ten wild monsters, sometimes more than a hundred are nothing new~
The only surprise for the Ghost King Army Alliance was that due to special reasons, almost all the troops in the entire alliance were transferred away to set up a frontline fortress in the city of "Midland", which greatly weakened the defense strength of other peripheral strongholds.
God knows, they encountered the "lizard thieves" at this time...
At least in the eyes of the player leader responsible for guarding this place, these lizardmen should be lizardman bandits from the Sighing Mountains to the west. Perhaps they happened to be passing by and were attracted by the sulfur resources gathered in the resource point and were about to be transported back.
, so we launched an attack here...
But what the heck~
Those who died were just those worthless garbage skeletons and labor force. For him, these things could be replenished in a few days. As long as the resource allocation did not lead to major problems, he didn't care about it.
And the reason why we brought over a hundred players with us was just in case...
However, he was wrong after all! Even more wrong~
The people from the Ghost King Army came down to the Resource Valley with great shouts. However, what greeted them was not the shivering lizard people, but a wave of raining volleys!
The arrows, which were always glowing green, caused a lot of damage to the crowd in an instant, and those second-level players were poisoned almost instantly, and their faces turned green, just like spinach in spring, caused by the intense toxicity.
The violent and continuous damage was constantly wiping away their HP.
"Ah! These lizardmen are so arrogant. How dare they attack?
Barut! Come on! Rush into the hole and chop all those bastards to death!"
The leader who spoke was naturally the leader of the players in the Ghost King Army this time, and in fact the barbarian hero named "Barut" in front of him was a third-level free hero he accidentally hired.
Although everyone may have been used to hearing that Liu Yifei is surrounded by more or less powerful and amazing spirit-level heroes all day long, and the number is even large enough to form a brigade... but in fact, as far as the entire world map is concerned, the spirit-level heroes
The level of combat power is still an elusive and high-end existence among player forces, especially among the lord player group.
Although because of the exposure of mysterious things like "complete soul crystals", more and more spiritual combat power has begun to serve players, which in turn promotes the improvement of the entire player group's strength more quickly.
However, this was just a violent outburst a while ago.
And such an outbreak is actually because the function of this thing was completely unknown to everyone before, and it took more than half a year for players to accumulate such magical things on the entire world map.
And as the explosive craze fades, it can be imagined that for a long time in the future, it will be impossible to increase the spiritual level combat power on a large scale on the world map. And if it is hired by a normal tavern... even
Even Liu Yifei may not be able to directly recruit those spiritual-level heroes who are above the top, so the major player lords mainly strive for heroes whose combat power is below the spiritual level.
Heroes below the spiritual level are also boss templates, and because they are humanoid creatures, they have more skills and are stronger. If equipped with a suitable set of top-quality equipment, even such a being can become a player.
The most elite in the territory!
This is exactly what happened with Balut~
The player who led the team this time is called "Shadow is Not Sad", and he is really a domestic player.
He finally established a small territory, but until today, it is only a second-level small territory. Although he may be a one-stop boss in the eyes of many ordinary players, in fact, such new territory forces are actually very fragile.
Compared with Liu Yifei's Plague City, even compared with the current Banlezi Ghost King Army, it is really weak. You can disband it with just a breath~
Originally, the first- and second-level mercenary troops of the ghost tribe were skeletons and corpses that could be called the most useless of all tribes. Otherwise, they would fall over if their ribs were touched, or else they would be disabled and could not walk as fast as others.
Besides, the second-level lord's castle only doubled the territory's garrison...that's just 400 skeletons and 200 corpses. Even with city wall defense and city defense artillery fire, it may not be as good as a squadron.
He is a fourth-level vampire, so the player lord of the ghost clan is quite pitiful in the early stage. The main source of strength is still the number of player troops that he can control.
This "Shadow Is Not Sad" person is quite generous, so he has gathered a group of brothers around him. Calculated, there are only more than 300 people, and they can barely stand around a small system town, so they have secured a second-level territory.
The survival of... However, it is still precarious.
Shadow's luck of not being sad finally comes from his vision!
In the early stages of the development of the "Ghost King Army" alliance, he keenly felt that this alliance might really achieve something, so he took the initiative to surrender without waiting for Black's people to come knocking on his door. This was actually appreciated by Black, so
In addition to allowing him to continue to retain ownership of the territory, he was also given some manpower and funds, so that his current second-level territory is finally about to be upgraded to level three~
For the ghost player lord, raising the territory from level two to level three is a very significant breakthrough!
Not only will you be able to enter the ranks of "intermediate territory" by breaking through the third level, but the strength of all aspects of the territory will be significantly enhanced. The most critical point is... you will finally have an actually useful "elite force" in your hands. "Yes!"
Necron mercenaries!
With a third-level lord's castle and a first-level spiritual tomb, the level 333 undead that you can have at the beginning is definitely the dream of all the ghost lords who have just gone through a difficult period of time, and only from now on, can they What it really means is that they have passed the dangerous period. They can probably develop towards higher-level territories with peace of mind~
Nine hundred skeletons, six hundred corpses, and three hundred undead. With these troops together and the assistance of third-level city walls and territorial turrets, if you have a player army of three to five hundred people in hand, you will usually encounter three to five hundred people. Thousands of player troops can easily defend against "siege". You no longer have to worry about someone attacking your territory like before.
After all, during the second-level territory period, if the enemy really knows the specific location of the territory, it is very likely that the enemy will gather two to three thousand people to take down the territory, and then the result will be completely defeated...
With the Ghost King Army as an alliance to back him up, Shadow Buchan certainly didn't worry about anyone trying to take advantage of him again, so he decisively opened up a sub-base and built a small town outside to help him collect resources.
And this sulfur resource with fairly good quality and output is actually near his town. It is precisely because of the "contribution" of having more sulfur resources in his hand that even if the strength of his territory is still insufficient, it can be The Ghost King Army has gradually gained some say in the alliance.
And about four days ago, Shadow was not sad and unexpectedly "encountered" this barbarian freedom hero in the wild! After some eloquent persuasion from him, he actually hired him! Even if it takes I pay thousands of gold coins every week for this, but it's so worth it!
A third-level barbarian hero who focuses on attacking. His combat power is estimated to be comparable to that of an ordinary fourth-level hero. Strong combat power is rare, not to mention the key. Therefore, Yingying turned around without being sad and equipped this guy with an excellent light armor suit, plus A king-level sword was exactly what the barbarian carried on his back.
To be honest, until the system prompted Shadow Not Sad that his sulfur mine was being attacked... and then all his units were collectively killed and the resource points were occupied. Shadow Not Sad was silently lamenting that he had been feeling really depressed recently. It's so smooth...it's like luck!
He has even begun to secretly plan to wait until the elves' bastards leave to try to get the alliance to support him in upgrading his territory to level three!
When the time comes, with the ace card of Balut and a large number of third-level undead mercenaries, he will be able to become one of the most powerful player lords north of Benrez! Then he will recruit a group of players as his subordinates... .Hahahaha~ Don’t be too happy in the future! He can also become the real power lord in the Ghost King Army Alliance!
However, maybe it was because of this thought that God silently sent him a "good enemy"... Of course, Shadow is not sad yet and he has not really realized what kind of enemy he is facing. .
He just subconsciously thought that he could take a good look at the grand scene when Balut showed his full strength~
Why are you here to fight monsters? It’s just wild monsters that come to your door to torture you!
Shadow is not sad and thinks so proudly~
However......
Hoho!!!
Just when Yingying was not sad and was filled with joy, he wanted to watch how Balut rushed into the narrow mine like a storm and caused the enemy to splatter blood for five steps, when a scene that surprised everyone appeared!
I saw a sudden flash of yellow light at the entrance of the mine...
Depend on!
To be continued...
