ps: Today’s second update... I’m running out of time... What the heck... Chapter 3 is almost half finished now. I’ll try to post as much as possible before midnight, but I suggest you keep reading tomorrow.

The repaired version of it, it’s a cheating birthday, spent in code words...

--------------------------------------------------------

"Yeyu City", the closest stronghold belonging to Michael to Tudou's "Jinghu City", is a small town with a level of no more than second level. w w. vm)

However, at this moment, there are no less than thousands of players gathered in this second-level town... and they are all players belonging to Michael's influence. It has to be said that this place has actually become a mysterious place.

Caleb’s “Frontline Depot”~

Because within the jurisdiction of the same medium-sized city, there is a third-level Jinghu City that is about to be upgraded to a fourth level, plus the second-level Yeyu City under Michael, which actually leaves room for others to survive.

Not much left~

[We still have to calculate the city and village coverage of NPC forces, plus the areas occupied by other players' small and medium-sized territories, and then eliminate some unusable areas such as mountains and valleys. In fact, there is really not much space left for upgrade and development.

】

Therefore, right now, Michael is actually competing with Tudou for the right to exist within the jurisdiction of a medium-sized city in the entire system setting.

And this kind of survival competition is always bloody. Once both sides think that each other has interfered with their own survival and development, what will happen is bound to be an endless fight!

Not to mention that Tudou had "offended" Michael before, and all the old and new grudges were taken into account. If there had not been external intervention, it would have been difficult for Tudou to die this time~

His Jinghu City is already the highest-level territory in his hands, and it will soon be upgraded to the fourth-level standard... If he fails here, it will not only mean that Tudou will give up all his long-term efforts.

, which means that he has actually completely lost this lord dispute!

If he can't stop his opponent by gathering all his troops and relying on the thickest city wall defense, then Tudou will only become weaker and weaker in the future~

In order to avoid getting burned, Tudou's current alliance may also abandon Tudou after Tudou completely loses power...or loses the most critical confrontation in the first round~

This is the most naked interest relationship between lords.

As an alliance, we don’t want you to lose and we will try our best to help you, but all this must be done under the premise of ensuring the interests of the alliance~

And if this person is likely to bring disaster to the entire alliance, and if his strength has declined significantly or even reached the edge of destruction, then protecting oneself wisely is a choice that most people will make subconsciously.

After all, territorial development is expensive and laborious. No one wants to plunge themselves into a huge crisis because of irrelevant things. Even Liu Yifei admits this.

However, Tudou finally ushered in his "hope", and right now, the little assassin is in an invisible state, watching from a hundred meters above the sky in Yeyu City, this small green city that is still lively and noisy despite tight defense~

Second-level territories are no longer a big deal. Basically, every large city and medium-sized city in the system has multiple such strongholds in its jurisdiction.

It's just that the circular territory of about one kilometer in the core area is incredibly lively at the moment, and there is no sense that a storm is approaching...

Maybe this is the self-confidence of the strong?

Compared to Tudou who was so frightened and restless, Michael's people obviously thought that they were sure to win, so they never had the slightest confusion or worry, and just continued to unleash their enthusiasm in the game.

Continuously accumulating more advantages~

Because of the orders of the "employer", no one under Michael went to the war front to gain military glory.

However, things like continuing to upgrade or leading troops to level up when there are no tasks are indispensable. Therefore, there is always a constant stream of people coming in and out of the city, either submitting tasks or resting and replenishing supplies. In short, don’t look at the city walls.

There are many mercenary guards, but if you don't look carefully, it doesn't look like a "closed" player stronghold.

After hovering in the air for a moment, the little assassin discovered that there seemed to be generally more arrow towers in the elven strongholds~

When he first came to the Elf Clan, he didn't pay much attention to these things. It should be said that he lacked experience. He was just attracted by the various unique buildings in the Elf Clan that were very different from the Ghost Clan, and the magic like ancient trees in the sky.

Towers, halls of heroes hollowed out with golden oak as the main body, or huge oak fortresses... The little assassins at that time were simply cute, and traveling around was basically no different from "touring to see the scenery"

~

However, now that he has returned to his hometown, the young assassin's vision has undergone a fundamental transformation. He knows what to focus on, how to judge the opponent's main defense direction, and also knows how to calculate the change trend of a stronghold within a certain period of time.

The limit of the number of garrison troops [referring to players]...

Nowadays, Yeyu City is spread out in front of the little assassin. It has changed from a beautiful and quiet landscape painting to a beating data. As the numbers change, the defense capabilities of this second-level territory have already improved.

Exposed in front of the little assassin~

"Eh? It seems very ordinary..."

The little assassin observed quietly for a while, and then made a judgment that surprised others.

"It seems like I can try to make it on my own~"

One person can also try it out...

Other local players who know Michael's name probably won't come up with such unreliable ideas even if their brains are twitching~

And even if you don't consider the specificity of the opponent, a single player rarely has the idea of ​​​​conflicting head-on with a group of players...especially a group of players who rely on the advantage of territorial defense!

The little assassin's out-of-the-box thinking can only be said to be an extremely arrogant and crazy idea~ To outsiders, it is simply...an unrealistic fantasy!

However, the young assassin knew that at least with his brother Yun's strength, it would only take a matter of minutes to break into such a small territory alone.

Even without the help of any other spirit-level heroes or soul crystal servants, Brother Yun can definitely eat this entire small city on his own.

The charging cluster formed by the gathering of seven-headed bone dragons is no joke~

In the eyes of today's players, there is actually not much difference between seventh-level mercenaries and spiritual-level heroes.

Anyway, being hit by any one of them is fatal. The difference is that one party can kill the other in an instant and the other party needs to stay. Most seventh-level creatures can fly, which even the spiritual-level experts cannot guarantee. The seventh-level creatures are even more strengthened.

Mercenaries exist like monsters~

And if such a "group of monsters" were under the leadership of his brother Yun, it wouldn't be so incredible to annihilate a small town garrisoned by thousands of people~

unless......

The opponent has more than ten medium-sized crossbows or the same air control power. Otherwise, facing the continuous charges of the bone dragon, he will have to sit back and wait for defeat~

It would probably be a little troublesome to let Xue Lan come.

Compared with the summoning flow, the extreme output flow is more direct in terms of lethality, but it also consumes more MP.

And because the damage of Xuelan's lightning spells has been strengthened to the extreme, too much power is often wasted, which indirectly causes a lot of additional MP losses, if you want to attack such a stronghold.

On the contrary, it seems not very cost-effective...

In particular, the magic release distance is generally shorter than the long-range attack distance of bows and arrows at the same level. Nowadays, the third-level Xuelan is sometimes like a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to start when faced with the defensive situation of the elves.

And if it were a little assassin...

There is no hope of attacking him head-on. However, he is not so harsh that he does not allow himself to use "outside assistance". So for now...it is just a matter of testing the opponent's strength to see what he can do.

Which step to take!

Having made up his mind, the little assassin found a dense forest and landed there. Both he and the bone dragon riding on him had the invisibility effect caused by spells. As long as they did not get too close to other units,

Even if it flies over Yeyu City, it will not trigger an active attack from the opponent... The worst thing is that the city manager's information column will prompt that a "neutral identity" has just passed by. After all, the little assassin himself also brings

He has a certain reputation among the elves, at least enough for him to have the minimum freedom of movement within the elves~

After finding a suitable place to land, the little assassin first went out and scouted around in stealth... This place was not bad. Because the woods were relatively tall and dense, the light in the forest was not very bright even in the afternoon.

On the contrary, the occasional light beams transmitted from the treetops make the darkness in other places even more worrying~

This area seems to be the surrounding area where players are intensively active in the direction of Yeyu City. There are some fifth-level wild treants with levels as high as over 90, as well as some furbolgs, jungle goblins and so on.

There are existences like giant-horned deer.

Wild treants are much more difficult to deal with than their counterparts in the elf mercenary army~

The fifth-level treant mercenaries of the Elf tribe are genuine melee combatants. Only after being promoted to the mid-level form will they evolve the ability of "tree vine entanglement", and then continue to be promoted to the high-level form to master some magic-like talents. Become

"Secret Guard of Deadwood" or "Elder of the Forest".

The magic-like ability of the Deadwood Guard is to summon a large number of tree roots and vines within a certain range of the surrounding area to actively attack and entangle the enemy. It not only greatly limits the opponent's movement ability, but also causes the opponent to suffer continuous entanglement damage. If the opponent is not strong enough,

If you can't break free, then just wait and be strangled to death~

In addition, they also have the ability to throw tree spears, sweep and swarm raids, and the attack method of high-level tree mercenaries has been defaulted to "face attack" by the system, which can obtain additional bonuses in attack power~

The powerful special effect of tree spear throwing makes the fifth-level mercenaries of the tree people escape from the category of "useless"! They have become truly terrifying existences comparable to high-level creatures~

After all, as a fifth-level creature, the treant has frighteningly high HP, strength, and physical attributes. There is no gap at all with some weaker high-level beings such as flying dragons... or even stronger!

The only thing that makes people speechless is that they are slower than the dwarves.

To be honest, this speed, which is slower than a turtle, is fatal to any melee physical unit and almost declares their death~

However, the Deadwood Secret Guard can consume the surrounding "trees" and throw them into temporary "tree spears", forming a terrifying piercing in a dense crowd, with full killing power, and the most terrifying part is...

This attack method is defaulted by the system as "siege method", which means that not only does it have a terrible killing effect on city defense facilities that cannot be ignored, but it also has "direct killing power" for ordinary attack units that almost despises defense power.

.....Just like a city defense turret!!!

Although the "Forest Elder" is not as powerful and terrifying as the Deadwood Secret Guard in terms of physical fighting ability, it has greatly strengthened the spellcasting talent of the "Ancient Tree Wise Man" and has the ability to "summon dwarfs" and "summon animal companions"

, "Summon Crows", "Call of the Forest" and many other spell-casting talents!

It can be said that a forest elder is almost like a powerful druid, and is definitely a powerful unit on the battlefield!

Although the slow speed is indeed a bit outrageous...but the blood defense and other things are definitely incomparable to ordinary spell casters!

And once someone gets close, even if the forest elders are not as powerful as the dead wood guards in close combat, there is no problem in slapping them away like flies. After all, the forest elders at that time were all tall.

The "thousand-year-old tree demons" are seven or eight meters tall. They look at ordinary players the same as ordinary people look at a puppy~
To be continued...
