If 20 million is not enough to handle this matter...

Damn~

Then whoever wants to do it can do it, the worst is that Liu Yifei will lead others~

After all, his plague city is located in the Sighing Mountains. It is far away from where the war broke out, and it is impossible to be affected~

Otherwise, does the system actually want players to spend hundreds of millions of Union coins to complete a task???

Just kidding~

This is not how money is spent.

If calculated according to Liu Yifei's original budget, the total investment of 20 million would actually be enough to sustain Luying Wuhen's army for about half a month.

In half a month, even if there was only one unit under Lu Ying Wuhen, without the "help" of the Dalaran Ghost, Liu Yifei was 70% sure that it would be enough to defeat the NPC forces of Banlez~

In the end, the worst case scenario would be to let this army die en masse and storm an important stronghold of the Banlezi Kingdom at once, or to gather the troops to carry out an assassination or something, and the Banlezi Kingdom would still be able to securely sit on the Diaoyutai.

However, with the current series of accidents happening, the doubling of the reward has made Luying Wuhen's war budget quite tight. Calculating various losses... I'm afraid five days or a week is the limit~

And if they still want to continue to expand their troops... those players who arrived later may be willing to suffer losses. The bottom requirement may be double the reward! Or even higher!

In this case, it's not that Liu Yifei doesn't want to expand his army, but that he simply can't afford it~

Therefore, we can only let those "precious combat forces" run amok in the southern part of Benrez. Anyway, they should be able to have some effect, right?

Of course, it can’t last too long~

Because without anyone to command, Liu Yifei was not optimistic about those unorganized Elf players, whether they were facing NPC forces or Dalaran ghosts.

As long as they suffer a few losses, they will naturally retreat. So I am afraid these people can only play a small role...

But having said that, when Liu Yifei was also worried about the problem of insufficient follow-up troops, the news came from Luying Wuhen first, which really surprised Liu Yifei!

But this time, I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or an accident. In the news sent back by Luying Wuhen... the names of two "old acquaintances" appeared in one breath, which really made Liu Yifei feel incredible~

One is an "acquaintance" whom I just met a while ago...or "rival" is more appropriate - Michael!

By the way, this guy is really unlucky~

When Liu Yifei secretly went to the Elf tribe to "make trouble", he accidentally "crash" this guy's good deeds and ruined his beautiful plan to upgrade his territory.

Come back to the last time, this kid rarely "found an opportunity" to team up with a large team of world-class elites to set up an ambush to ambush Liu Yifei.

Who can imagine...

In the end, not only did Liu Yifei not be defeated, but he was tricked completely again. He really came back clean and respectable. Even without his underwear, he was left in that sad place that made him gnash his teeth...

But this time, this guy actually came into Liu Yifei's field of vision again. I can only say that this guy... is so unlucky~

Because this time Michael actually did not "actively" want to appear in Liu Yifei's field of vision...

The real link between this is another person whom Liu Yifei still has a vague impression of, but has almost forgotten... Maodou!

By the way, when this ID was mentioned by Luying Wuhen, Liu Yifei almost thought the other party was joking~

Edamame? How could someone have such a strange ID?

But after being reminded by Lu Ying Wuhen, he finally suddenly realized, Damn! He knew this person before! It was at that time... The location of that territory was quite good, but it was relatively close to Michael's territory.

An ordinary player lord who was almost annexed by the opponent!

Eh?

By the way, this guy is not dead yet???

Of course~

This is not to say that Liu Yifei cursed the other party with bad intentions.

But as the number one lord, Liu Yifei actually knew the fierce competition in the circle of "lords".

It was fine in the past. At that time, players had just started to come into contact with the "lord system" and did not understand a lot of common sense today. Everyone even didn't know about the limits of the territory.

Because there is little information, the number of lords is small, and the territory level is low, even if there are a dozen village-level player territories around the same small system city, there will generally not be a large-scale merger battle.

But this situation only lasted for a short period of time.

As the lord players later grouped together to level up, the process of the lord era was greatly accelerated, or the situation that the system originally thought might take two years to occur, turned out to be already qualified in advance in just over a year.

Player territories on the world map are densely packed, and quite a few of them have entered the city-state era, and are no longer even limited to low-level cities!

And with the rapid improvement of the player's territory level, everyone finally discovered... It turns out that there is a minimum distance between territories!!!

This requirement not only limits the distance between players and their territories, but also requires a minimum distance between players and NPC territories!

Village-level territories must be separated by more than one kilometer! Town-level territories must be separated by more than three kilometers! Small city-level territories must be separated by more than ten kilometers! Medium-sized cities must be separated by more than thirty kilometers! Large cities must be separated by more than ten kilometers.

More than fifty kilometers!

If the distance between any territory of the same level is too short, only one party can advance to a high-level territory first, while the latter will be "suppressed" due to the distance and cannot continue to advance~

There are even more tragic people who established initial strongholds too close to small system cities, and they were even more deceived!

Because establishing a territory requires experiencing monster sieges, some opportunistic people have also thought of a way ~ that is to establish a stronghold closer to the system city, which can greatly reduce the power of monster sieges.

This is feasible. It is even allowed by the system, but the tragedy is...it was easy at the beginning! It will be really bad luck if the development level is restricted later~

If you build a village stronghold around an intermediate system city, it's okay. At least you can upgrade your territory to the second level. [If the village is less than ten kilometers away from the system city, but it is open enough in a straight line, the system will allow it.

The player's territory is upgraded, but the newly upgraded territory stronghold will be moved later]. If a village is established in an area very close to a first- or second-level town, for example, then it will almost always be possible to maintain the territory at the town level, which is simply a pitfall.

!

However, this rule is only known by the players later~

Before this, everyone didn't think much about it when they established the village. Some "alliance" forces even deliberately built the two territories very close to each other for convenience. As a result, it turned out to be a complete trap for themselves. The messy strongholds

The location of the points is a complete waste of the few "land resources", making it surprising that there are fewer and fewer "excellent territories" that can be smoothly upgraded to a high level.

Therefore, to this day, mergers between player territories have already occurred~

For example, it is not uncommon for first- and second-level territories to fight over the issue of development space. Just because of the scale and low level, it is generally not noticed by outsiders, so it is not talked about much on the forum, not that it is the player lords.

Just enough to be at ease~

It is precisely because the competition among player lords is cruel, and if you are not careful, you may end up giving everything to outsiders, losing everything you invest in your territory to your opponents, so Liu Yifei increasingly feels that the survival of an ordinary player lord like Maodou is indeed a good thing.

Make a "miracle"!

Fortunately, the elf player named Maodou was really lucky. He chose a relatively loose period and established his own territory before many others. He was even able to compete with "rich people" like Michael for a time.

[At that time, Michael was going to upgrade the town-level territory to a first-class small town, and the nearby Maodou territory was still in the state of town-level development. If the other party took the lead, he would definitely suffer]~

However, his weakness is that he does not have a large amount of funds to enrich the development process of the territory and accelerate the maturity of the territory as soon as possible.

After all, he established his territory much earlier than Michael, but Michael poured in a lot of money regardless of the investment. It even took only half the time to catch up with the development progress of Maodou, and Maodou

I can only watch the "enemy" grow stronger together with his fellow players. If nothing unexpected happens... one day they will turn around and annex him~

Because obviously, even if a rich man like Michael wants to find someone to talk about an alliance, at least the other party must have the strength to rival him or the same level of financial resources. Edamame develops first but develops slowly, and lacks strength.

Ordinary player lords can only become his food~

if......

If it weren't for Liu Yifei's unexpected appearance at that time, there might not have been anything wrong with Edamame at all~

Even though there were still "people" who wanted Michael and the others to lose in the territorial upgrade defense battle, Michael did not lose so miserably, and even directly gave up on the town that was eventually destroyed.

However, Liu Yifei left and Michael left. In the end, they all took advantage of Maodou, and they were able to develop his territory with peace of mind and no scruples.

And finally passed the initial wave of territory upgrades without any danger, and raised the territory to level two with every risk. And relying on the advantage of the territory being surrounded by water on three sides, it withstood the attacks of subsequent competitors. Now it is even more

The territory has been upgraded to level three!

The third-level territory is definitely an important watershed for lord players, especially for elf players!

After all, the third-level elf shooters are the core elite of the elf player-lord army in the mid-to-late stage. From this moment on, it should be said that the elf player-lords have ushered in their glorious moment.

Maodou has been promoted to the third-level territory like Bayless, and is even close to the fourth-level territory. He only needs the last bit of territory immigration to be in place and plans to upgrade~

However, at this time, an extremely bad accident happened...that was the revenge from Michael!

Before, Michael had been busy organizing new territories and looking for suitable sub-base locations. Later, after his strength had grown slightly, he got involved in waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against Liu Yifei. Therefore, instead, he took advantage of the situation to occupy Maodou.

I forgot about the minor role in "The Branch".

Even if that stronghold was "abandoned" by Michael first, as long as it was his, it belonged to him even if it was smashed and thrown away, and he would never allow others to get involved.

Therefore, Maodou's behavior of excavating the abandoned ruins of his town to rebuild the village [which can avoid a village-level monster siege] is regarded as a naked provocation!

During the last battle in Fustel, Michael was also attacked by an opponent within the clan contacted by the Star War Spirit Studio. His own territory was completely devastated, and even the elite mercenaries were not mentioned.

Half of them were taken away by Liu Yifei~

Therefore, since the World Alliance temporarily dispersed and went home to calm the chaos in the territory, Michael has no plans to return to the front lines of the Elf battle...at least not in the short term.

His strength is not advancing at the moment but retreating. If he goes to the front line of the elves, he will not be able to get any advantage that makes him happy. But instead, he will be laughed at by those annoying guys. It is better to stay behind and sort out the housework. At the same time, he should

Take out your hands to deal with those clowns who dare to linger around you~

In the process, Edamame, the "former little character", was reminded of Michael.
To be continued...
