Chapter XIII(1/2)
After the intense preparations were almost done, the war began time was roughly decided, but this time had to be pushed back for a day, because there were still some things that had to be handled. In addition, our guild and the Iron Crusader fleet were still on the way, and we could not put the city down before they arrived. I used this time to do some filing work first, and I wonder if it could bring some benefits to myself.
First I went to Terry's Neptune Temple. This guy is very careless on the surface, but in fact he is very meticulous and belongs to the kind of wise and foolish. He is looking for him because he has a good grasp of the situation. If he can persuade him, he can at least reduce the American fleet we face by one fifth.
As soon as I arrived at the Neptune Hall, I saw soldiers in the city in a mess, as if they were doing emergency mobilization. I walked all the way to Terry's guild headquarters, and as soon as I entered the gate, I saw Terry saying something in the hall. I started to say hello to him from a distance. "Hey! I...!" I didn't say a word, Terry rushed over like a bison and pulled me to run to the side hall. "Hey, what are you doing? Don't pull me!"
Terry pulled me into the side hall in one breath, threw me into the sofa, then turned around and shouted to the outside, "Just do as I said, and prepare immediately. Also, no one is allowed to approach this room without coming out."
I sat on the sofa and looked at Terry with a funny look. "What are you doing? Fortunately, I am a man, otherwise I would have thought you were going to rape me!"
"Do I still dare to rape you? If you don't rape you, I'm good!" Terry walked to the back of the table, took a crystal and threw it over.
I opened it and looked at it. The picture in the crystal ball was clearly a huge joint fleet moving at high speed on the sea. From the flag, this was the joint fleet of our guild and the Iron Crusader. "This thing...?"
"We took a photo of the guide ship of our guild this morning." Terry sat down opposite me. "Do you have any explanation for this?"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect to talk to you, and you discovered it first."
"Oh?" Terry's voice rose octave. "Tell me what you are planning to do? Two thousand three hundred and seventy-four main battleships, such a large fleet, don't tell me that it is fighting pirates."
"Do you believe it if I say it is for defense?"
"Defense?" Terry thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to build a city in the United States?"
"I guessed it so quickly? It's so smart." I looked into Terry's eyes and said, "I'm telling you the truth anyway. We just need to build a city here, and it's a city with sovereignty. The fleet is used to protect the safety of the city. As for my purpose, you should be clear."
Terry was completely silent, thought for a long time before speaking, "Can you wait for me for a few minutes?"
"no problem."
Terry turned around and walked out of the room, and after a few minutes he ran back, holding a map in his hand. "Here." He threw the map away and pointed to a point on the map. "Give me this place. I promise there is no land ship in the counterattack fleet."
I looked at the map and it was not in China, but a large island near RB. It was originally a transit base for our guild. Now, because the forward base established on RB can provide supplies, it has been useless for a long time.
"The island can be given to you, but in terms of fleets, you can't not only drive your own guild fleet, but also help me to hold up some guilds you can control and minimize the number of their ships going to sea."
Terry thought for a while and said, "I can control my ship, but this is the United States. Don't always use your Chinese ideas to measure our behavior. We don't have the same relationship with relatives and friends as we are here. We only focus on the interests of the naked and naked interests. Your establishment of cities in the United States directly affects the interests of the whole United States. Our Neptune Temple has obtained an island, so our interests have been made up and we have made a little profit. But those guilds have no benefits. They will not consider the idea of advancing and retreating with me. Either you pay for the money, I will help you buy them, or don't expect them not to send troops. It's that simple."
"So if I want to spend the least amount of enemies as much as possible, can you give me a bribe list?"
"No problem, for the island you sent me, this is all a little bit."
The list of Terry showed me was more than 100, and there were many warships in the guilds on it, and Terry gave me a list according to the value of bribery. I chose more than 30 guilds on the list. Then Terry helped to negotiate with them. Of course, Terry also had to charge agency fees. Good relations in the United States are one thing, but helping is another. Anyway, I told him that there are rewards for the negotiations, and if they are not successful, they will only be given a fixed commission. In this way, Terry will do his best to help me.
After dealing with the sea strongman of the Neptune Palace, it's Usina's turn to Rainbow Alliance. Although the Rainbow Alliance is not as good as the Holy Spear Alliance, it is a large number of American guilds. If they can not participate in the counterattack, then we can save some things. In fact, the most important thing is that although the forward base must be put down, we cannot go to a full-scale war with the United States. Therefore, many things cannot be done too well. We must retain some pro-our forces within the United States, so that there will be room for development in the future.
The Rainbow Alliance's navy was not strong and didn't notice anything about us. When I saw Eusina, she thought I was here to visit. I said solemnly to her: "What I want to tell you later is a very important thing. We'd better find a safe place to talk to you."
Usina realized that I wasn't here to play with her, so she immediately took me to her private event area and drove all the NPC attendants out. "Okay, now you can say it."
"It's actually like this. Our guild needs to build a city in the United States."
"Don't you have one?" Usina reacted as soon as she asked. "You mean a sovereign city?"
I nodded.
Eusina immediately said: "This is not a good idea. I hope you can give up on this idea."
I shook my head. "I'm not here to discuss the feasibility of things with you. The high-level meeting of the Frost Rose League has decided on the construction matters, and I'm just laying the groundwork for this mission."
"Where are you planning to build a city?" Yusina asked calmly. I looked at Yusina with a scrutiny. She waited for a long time but didn't hear my answer before looking up at me. As a result, she immediately realized that she had asked something she shouldn't ask. "Oh sorry, let's change the question. If you want to build a sovereign city in the United States, such a thing is almost impossible."
"Generally speaking, there is only one thing that does and does not do. There is no possibility or impossible. If you don't do it, it will definitely not be realized. Only when you do it can there be a possibility of realization. Also, I finally reiterate that this is a decision, not a proposal. I came to discuss with you the possible conflicts that may arise afterwards. It is not to adopt opinions, so please don't persuade me to give up my thoughts."
"It seems that your opinions are already very firm." Usina said helplessly: "Then what else can you talk about when you ask me?"
"It is because of the firm opinion that I want to talk to you." I said seriously: "We hope you can not participate in the counterattack."
"This is impossible." Unexpectedly, the woman Eusina was actually more iron-blooded than Trace, a man who seemed to be a big and thick man, so she simply rejected my proposal. "Our Rainbow Alliance is also an American guild. No matter how good our private relationship is, it is a private relationship. This is not something that can influence the power of our guild. If you build an ordinary city, I can ignore it, but the establishment of a sovereign city is equivalent to invading. I cannot give up resistance under such circumstances."
“What if there is a proper exchange of interests?”
"No interest can do, sovereignty is absolute. It cannot be delivered as a benefit." Yusina said with a sense of righteousness.
I thought for a while and said, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No." Eusina said firmly: "Any negotiation premise must be based on the premise that you do not intend to build a sovereign city, and you obviously do not intend to give up on this plan, so we have nothing to talk about."
"You are indeed determined!" I shook my head helplessly.
Usina stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, please leave! I'm going to organize people to stop you from building a city."
I smiled indifferently: "It is impossible to stop building because the city has been built."
"What? This is impossible!" Eusina screamed excitedly.
I stood up and raised my hand. "Apply for a system to prove the contract, and I now announce that the sovereign city that the guild will soon establish in the United States has been completed. Please notarize it."
"Honest." The system proves that the system answers very simply. This notary system was originally a guarantee contract made by the main system in commercial transactions, but was later developed by players to prove the authenticity of their own language. Of course, this is a fee. Moreover, the system can only confirm what has happened and will not help you predict anything. Our Panshi City is a reward item, which has been completed long ago, but it has not been put down. So what I am talking about is an absolutely true fait accompli, and there will be no errors.
Eusina's expression flashed with surprise, and she immediately turned around and walked out. I didn't wait for her to see her off, so I left the Rainbow Alliance myself. In fact, Eusina has been fooled. The system proof can only prove whether my words are true. But the truth can also be used to mislead others. Eusina only knows that we have a city in the United States, that is the starting point city. If we build a sovereign city, all American players will definitely get notices immediately. Then since the city has been completed and they have not received the notice, there is only one possibility. That is, we fight
It is considered to directly convert a non-sovereign city controlled by the guild to a sovereign city. This process can be completed by submitting a systematic application. It is very simple. Using this method can make the sovereign city complete when it is generated. In this way, the initial resistance work can be relatively simple, otherwise the city will have to accept the enemy's attack before it is completed. It is not everyone who has to fight and build a city while fighting. After I said that the city has been completed, Eusina immediately thought of Qidian City, so she took it for granted that we would transform Qidian City into a sovereign city.
I intentionally create such misleading. Since she cannot give up the idea of joining the war, I might as well use her to lead the enemy to other places. At least we can use the excuse of being forced to counterattack to gain a moral advantage. Moreover, I have a plan of disagreement waiting for them afterwards, and anyway, I will try my best to cause trouble for the enemy. The war is not only the front line. Logistics, politics, and intelligence, and these are all extensions of the war.
My diplomatic mediation can be said to be half successful and half failed. At least Terry's navy will not mess with me. After Eusina knew that we were going to build a city, she immediately sent her to contact the Gun God. As a result, all American players were mobilized overnight. We were quickly surrounded outside Qidian City. The logic of the Americans is to take the initiative first and never give us the opportunity to harm their interests. So this time they naturally launched an attack on Qidian City first. However, I have always been a person who will not suffer any losses. No one can take advantage of me.
I had already tampered with Qidian City before mediating Usina and Terry. The city had actually been evacuated. Now I am the only one here, and the ground near the city had been hollowed out long ago. Qidian City was originally developed as a mining area. Now all the underground mines have been empty, leaving a large area of underground voids. We have never had time to backfilling them. Now it is a good opportunity. Just use people to fill the pit.
On that night in the United States, the Gun God surrounded our Qidian City with a large group of people. I was operating the only few remaining cannons alone in the city. After the Americans fired their guns first, they symbolically fired several guns outwards as a counterattack. The Gun God found that the counterattack was not very fierce, and he thought that it was because Usina revealed our secret that we were not ready. As a result, under this wrong understanding, he immediately launched an attack with a large number of players. The army quickly launched a charge.
A small city like Qidian City has no defense at all. After the city wall was destroyed by cannons, the army quickly poured into the city. When the troops rushed into the city, they found empty streets and houses that had obviously evacuated voluntarily. From the empty and voluntary rooms, it can be judged that we did not evacuate hastily at all, otherwise it would be impossible to move so cleanly.
After receiving the report, the Gun God looked at Usina with a puzzled face. "Didn't you say they want to convert this place into a sovereign city? Why are there no one in the city?"
"No one? How is that possible?" Usina said very firmly: "When Zi Ri arrived at me at noon today, he said that the city of their guild had been built, and he also proved his words with system notarization. Do they have another city in our United States?"
The Gun God shook his head: "Impossible. The Frost Rose League has only one starting point city in our United States. This is not wrong."
Eusina frowned and said, "Did he use the system to prove it to lie to me? It's impossible! The system won't lie for him!"
An oriental player next to the Gun God asked: "Why did Zi Ri start the proof system when she told you in the morning? That thing costs money, there is no need to start it suddenly, right?"
Eusina said excitedly: "I said I would not let them build the city smoothly, so he refuted me that we could not stop him, and that their city had been completed. I said I didn't believe it, so he activated the proof."
The oriental man thought for a moment and said, "Gun God, we may have been fooled."
"Scamd? Why?"
The man explained: "Although I have never seen Zi Ri, judging from the performance of their guilds, their guild has always been very planned. Moreover, Zi RB people have very strong layout ability. Maybe this is the common characteristic of us Oriental people! We are all good at planning. Judging from Zi Ri's behavior, he is not only good at using tricks, but also a master, especially his forbearance. To be honest, the mental state of the two of you is completely different from him. Will a person as deep as him argue with her because of a sentence from President Elsa (Eusina's game name)? Such immature behavior will only appear on children, and it will never happen to Zi Ri. But he deliberately pretends to be angry and argues with you, and finally activated the proof system, which is to deliberately reveal some news to us, and he knows that these news can influence our actions."
"No?" Usina was a little unbelievable. "How could he do this?"
The oriental man shook his head and said, "So I say this is the characteristic of us orientals. You white people probably find it difficult to understand. When Europeans were still living in caves and wearing animal skins. When the United States was still wilderness, the Chinese had already started to systematically practice military tactics. For us orientals, as long as we are a general, we will definitely command our own army. To become a wise general, you should at least learn to command the enemy's army. Zi Ri was obviously a wise general. He used President Elsa to mobilize our command here. Although the direct command was issued by you two, Zi Ri was actually commanding us, and you completely fell into the trap."
"What should we do now?" the Gun God asked nervously.
"I think the person should be withdrawn immediately, but it is probably too late now. Because the mobilization has been completed, we have completely gotten into the fish. It's time for the fisherman to get up." As soon as the Oriental man finished speaking, they felt the huge vibration from the ground. The Gun God and Eusina immediately rushed out of the command tent, and the situation in front of them made both of them look angry.
Qidian City is collapsing. The huge city and the surrounding huge areas are rolling into huge pits in batches. The ground cracked into countless debris and sinking towards the ground. Nothing can be seen in the smoke and dust in the sky. When the Gun God rushed out of the camp, he only saw the collapsed city wall. Within a few seconds, the smoke and dust swallowed up all the vanguard troops and continued to expand.
The oriental man who helped the gun god analyze the matter leisurely leaned on the camp tent and looked at the battlefield rolling in front of him and said, "It's really spectacular! What do you think of this scene? This is the ability of the general, mobilizing the enemy's army for his own use. Judging from this scale, we have lost at least 700,000 npc, which is a lot of money! There are also players' compensation fees. At least 30,000 to 40,000 players were buried. According to the equipment explosion rate of 17%, a few of these players will lose six or seven thousand pieces of equipment. Qidian City is a mineral city, and the underground must have been empty. The ten-thousand** just now was a landslide caused by directional blasting. The buried equipment must not be dug out, so you have to pay for these six or seven thousand pieces of equipment. It is recommended to go back and count the money and wait."
Americans are more pragmatic. A coconut fell from a tree and hit people, and they could fight a lawsuit. Such an obvious work-related injury accident, Gun God and Usina said that they could not escape the compensation responsibility. With the loss of NPC, even if they cannot hurt the fundamentals, at least the pocket money of the two of them is definitely gone. The guild without working capital during the war is the best deal with.
The Gun God and Eusina were immersed in pain and could not extricate themselves. Suddenly, a player stumbled to them and shouted: "President is not good! Look at the forum!"
"What's wrong with the forum?" Large guilds will specialize in players focusing on major forums for 24 hours to collect information. This is common sense. The Gun God didn't know what made the players responsible for monitoring the forum so nervous. He and Usina quickly quit the game mode and went to the forum, and soon returned to the line with a pale face. Both of them were so angry.
At this time, the major international forums were filled with comments about our guild station being strangled by American players. Of course, all the remarks were consistent in criticizing Americans for unilateralism and using players from other countries as foils. Due to the sufficient video and picture information, the Americans could not deny that they took the initiative to attack our behavior. After all, so many of them have not withdrawn here, and if they want to cover up, they have to wait until they evacuate before they can come out to quibble! How could a robber stand at the owner's house and start to quibble if he is not a robber?
In fact, these comments are secondary to the blow to Eusina and the Gun God. American unilateralism has not been a day or two, and everyone has been used to it. What really scares them is that our guild announces that this is a full declaration of war against Chinese players, and claims that it will immediately launch an unlimited attack on the leading guilds in this operation. At the same time, we also stated on the forum that some American guilds were deceived by those with ulterior motives of these two guilds, and we will not overturn a boat of people with one blow. I hope these guilds will rest assured. We will only hold these two guilds accountable, and as long as other guilds no longer fight us, they will not care about the previous things. Finally, our guild announced that as a retaliation, we will immediately launch a destructive "sex" attack on the city where the guilds and the Rainbow Alliance are headquartered, and at the same time, we will establish a sovereign city in the United States to replace the starting point city that was destroyed by the attack.
No matter how effective this remark came out, at least our birth in Panshi City was justified, and we stood under the banner of morality. The Holy Spear Alliance and the Rainbow Alliance became instigators.
The Gun God was telling the Oriental people these things, and suddenly heard a system prompt.
"Notice: The Chinese Guild Frost Rose Alliance established the sovereign city of Panshi City in the following locations." A map appeared in front of each player, with the location of Panshi City marked on it. "This is the guild's invasion of American territory. Now, all American Guilds have the right to counterattack this behavior. Within seven days, if the city can be expelled, the territory will still be US territory, otherwise the territorial sovereignty will be changed to Chinese territory. Please work hard for the integrity of the country."
The American players were stunned as soon as the notice ended. Usina was madly drilling on the spot. "How did they build the city? This is too fast, right?"
"Don't worry about this for now. I think we should go back and save our main city first." Gun Shin said: "I hope the left-behind people can hold on until we return."
The oriental man who helped the Gun God analyze the form shook his head and said, "Don't worry, even if you go back immediately, you will only see a pile of burning ruins. If I were you, just assemble troops to attack the Rock City in their place. Don't worry about your main city, that place is no longer saved."
"Why?" Usina asked in disbelief.
The oriental asked back with a funny look: "Don't you understand? All of this is Zi Ri and the others' plan. The so-called revenge against your two main cities was planned. Do you think they will only start sending troops now? If I guess it's a good idea, your city may have already exchanged fire with them, and the other party will definitely start to assemble troops after you leave. Just because of your two empty cities, you still want to block the large army that others have prepared? Go dreaming! When you rush back, you can only see the burning ruins. Instead of that, it's better to trample their way out and block the attacking troops outside the city. A unit in the inner wall has much higher lethality than they in the wilderness. Do you want to destroy them in the wilderness or wait for them to enter the city to use up all your troops? With the financial resources of the Frost Rose Alliance, I guess you can't afford it."
In fact, this oriental people are very reasonable, and the fact is that. At this time, the headquarters of the Holy Spear League was in chaos because a very bad thing appeared above their heads - the Isinger Mobile Fortress. Since the last time they tied three cities in Germany, the name of the Isinger Mobile Fortress has become a household name, and the city-level weapon has officially appeared in the minds of players. Isinger Mobile Fortress. It is a place where it truly has the ability to completely destroy a city's attack power, which has been proven many times.
At this time, it was suspended above the head of the Holy Spear Alliance headquarters, covering the sky of the entire city. On the already dark night, the last little starlight was blocked by the Eisinger's mobile fortress, making the city even darker. At that time, the darkness at this time was not the source of chaos for people. What really scared the people below was the light source above their heads like a small sun, which was a super weapon that made RB players and some German players scared, and the magic cannon that could destroy a city at once.
That ball of light indicates that the magic cannon is gathering energy. It is close to the critical state. There are not many left-behind people in the city, and the remaining people can only watch the giant in the sky. The cannons in the city do not have enough elevation angle to hit the big guy above their heads. Besides, with the size of this guy, everyone knows that even if these cannons hit it, they will not have any effect. Take a step back and say, even if they really hit it, can the city below still exist? This pile of things falls and knocks the city below to the ground?
Just when the people below were hesitating and didn't know what to do, the sky suddenly lit up. People in the city just felt that the world seemed to be completely illuminated. And it turned out to be white, and nothing could be seen. After the strong light, everyone got the notice of their death without feeling anything. The reporter who had long received the notification from our guild was shooting the attack scene with a crystal ball on a nearby hill. Rose signed a battle reporting contract with Global News yesterday and sold the interview and reporting rights for our guild this battle to them. The entire defense process of the Panshi City will be fully presented in their news. Our guild will designate appropriate interview locations for them in advance and will send a dedicated person to accompany them to explain. Of course, they have an agreement that they must not reveal our strategic intentions before the incident, otherwise they will need to pay compensation from Dabi.
At this time, in the reporters' recording crystal, a thick white light column dropped from the bottom of the Eisinger's mobile fortress and landed directly in the center of the city. Then a sudden red flame aura quickly swept across the entire city, and after leaving the city wall, it continued to extend far outward before gradually fading. The city that was just as majestic just now had only a burning pit, and nothing was left. Any defense in front of the city's weapons is as pale as white paper and has no defensive effect at all.
Compared to the miserable situation in the Holy Spear Alliance, the Rainbow Alliance is slightly better, because there are only two giant butterfly cities here, one is original and the other is copy goods, but the effect is the same. The original giant butterfly city flying in front plowed the city with a blow-up barrel, and the replica followed behind reduced the height and left 100,000 transformed monsters, and then pulled it high and left. The city that had just been hit by a bomb rain was no longer defensive. The monsters thrown down will continue to cause chaos for them. I believe that when all the monsters die, the city will almost be over. But at least we left a city framework for the Rainbow Alliance, and it can still be rebuilt after spending more money. It is not necessary to use the headquarters of the Holy Spear Alliance as long as it is the artificial lake.
The nightly attack made the two major guilds faint. In a country like the United States, there is no shortage of patriotic fanatics, but there are also many people who are interested in interests. So the situation that happened the next morning was that Eusina and the Gun God's army inexplicably decreased by one quarter, while the remaining three quarters became angry. Those who originally planned to follow Eusina and the Gun God's guise to get benefits under the guise of patriotism and wisely chose to wait and see under the storm-like blow last night. They would not fall behind in pinching soft persimmons, but it would be better to leave the work of beating wolves to others!
"Hahaha!" The backbone of the Guild in the Eisinger mobile fortress and our allies sat together and laughed loudly.
To be continued...
