Chapter 552(1/3)
ps: Sure enough, it’s still too late... Okay, let’s try a little more, send half of it first, and the rest will definitely be modified tomorrow, I must!!!
--------------------------
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 okay 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. They even didn't know about the limits of 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 joined forces to level up, the process of Lord Age 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 30 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, and 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, and 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 located 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, 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 the sake of convenience. As a result, they ended up trapping themselves. And the messy strongholds
The location of the points is a complete waste of the few "land resources". It is 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. Therefore, 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 to make wedding clothes. You will lose 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"!
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.
[At that time, Michael was going to upgrade his town-level territory to a first-class small town. However, the nearby territory of Maodou 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. However, Michael poured in a lot of money regardless of the investment, and even caught up with the development progress of Maodou in only half the time, and Maodou
I can only silently watch the "enemy" gradually grow stronger with his fellow players. If nothing unexpected happens... one day he 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 match him or the same level of financial resources. Maodou 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 upgrading without any danger, raised the territory to level two with great difficulty, and relied on the advantage of the territory being surrounded by water on three sides to withstand 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.
Like Bayless, Maodou has been promoted to the third level territory. It is even close to the fourth level territory. It is only the last bit of territory immigration that is needed to be upgraded~
However, at this time, an extremely bad accident happened...that was the revenge from Michael!
Before, Michael had been busy sorting out new territories and looking for suitable locations for sub-bases. 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 Soul 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. 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.
Coincidentally, this guy even has a territory that is about to reach level 4. Isn't this great news?
In addition, Maodou also has a first-level sub-base and a total of seven village-level peripheral strongholds under his name. Although it is not a huge supplement to Michael, it is also a force that cannot be ignored. Just now Michael
Le and Maodou are at odds with each other, hoping to take advantage of the situation and occupy the entire opponent's territory!
Edamame and Bayless are allies of the same player alliance, but the problem is... Michael also has his own alliance~
Whether in terms of personal strength or alliance power, Michael's side has an absolute advantage~
In other words... it would be too annoying. Maodou's alliance did not dare to directly confront Michael. Apart from secretly supporting Maodou with some war machines and mercenaries, there was nothing else it could do.
~
And even with these subsidies, in everyone's opinion, Edamame is not a full-scale attack on the territory of the "Green Field Heaven" owned by Michael, who has regained some strength...
And at this moment, Bayless came up with an idea!
That is, if Lu Ying Wuhen... or the "master" behind him can save Maodou's life, then it is not impossible for their entire alliance to gather together to sell low-level mercenaries to Lu Ying Wuhen~ Even they
It’s not impossible to consider bringing someone with you personally to take a trip to Banliezne~
There is a saying that shooting the first bird~
Before, Lu Ying Wuhen's identity was questioned, and they were the only elf player group in Banlez. Anyone who dared to come out and say that he wanted to support Lu Ying Wuhen was seeking death~ He was definitely drawing hatred from the God of Hatred.
Skills!
However, the situation is different now~
In view of the fact that tens of thousands of elven players have entered Banlez to attack and move freely, it means that the elves are now powerless against this matter, and everyone can't control it, and they don't want to.
The player group alliance definitely does not support this, but if someone does it... there is nothing they can do~
After all, they are just an alliance of high-end players. They have enough voice, but they cannot effectively control all the elven players. However, they cannot stand on the opposite side of ordinary players at will. They can only let these things go~
In view of this situation, if Bayles and the others from the alliance secretly bring a force over and cooperate with Luying Wuhen and the others in a low-key manner, it will not be a problem at all!
Especially if, as Luying Wuhen himself said, what they need is a "pure mercenary auxiliary force". That would be even better, maybe they can just keep it secret! How many people should they have over there?
Just cooperate with the command~
This can be said to be a win-win situation. It is beneficial to both parties~
After all, Bayles and the others have already had four third-level territories in their alliance, which means that everyone can gradually eliminate the low-level mercenary troops and start focusing on cultivating their own mid-level main troops.
First-level and semi-long-range elites like Centaur Spear Throwers can still continue to exert their remaining heat, while low-level Centaurs and Dwarves are just ridiculous. It is better to sell them to make money to fill the deficit and investment in the development of the territory~
But Bayles also put forward two conditions in this matter:
1. Green Shadow Wuhen, or anyone else, must first defeat Michael's offensive and snatch all the existing fourth-level and third-level strongholds that Michael has on hand for their alliance;
Second, tell them all the secrets about those rare fourth-level dwarves. It would be best to sell a batch of those rare dwarves to them for research...
These two requirements can be said to be extremely harsh for ordinary people, and it is inevitable that Bayless and others will take advantage of them.
However, Luying Wuhen and Liu Yifei do have to face a problem now.
That is, the cost investment is too high, which will be extremely disadvantageous for them in a long-term battle. It is best to have an auxiliary force to help fan the flames in Banliez.
To be continued...
