Chapter 12: The Clouds of War

The game ended early shortly after we left the competition map, because the remaining team was honorably back. There were five teams in the competition area, and four teams were missing at once. The rest of them could only rely on collecting Soul Stones to accumulate points, but unfortunately, the difficulty of collecting Soul Stones during the game time was shared by everyone. In other words, no matter which team we got the stone, it would make the next task difficult. It just so happened that we got a bunch of Soul Stones in one breath. After the remaining team went to find the stones, the difficulty naturally increased infinitely. It was normal for them to hang back so quickly.

The system helped us count the points. Our guild ranked first, the Holy Gun Alliance was second, and the guild that was finally hung up was third. As for the two guilds we had killed, they were of course eliminated directly. The system prompted that the final test in the next stage would be carried out using a special task method, and the specific execution method will suddenly start at any time point in the next period of time. Just like the first stage, the system will probably launch a sudden attack when all three of our guilds are very relaxed, otherwise there would be no need to not tell us any information.

After reporting the results of the battle, it is time to give the prize. There are many reward items this time, and some of them can be selected by yourself. The first item among the unselectable items is that all participants are upgraded to level 3, and the percentage of the upgraded experience value remains unchanged. I was level 982 before, but this time I made up for level 985, but the advantage is huge. Players of my level need to upgrade each level are astronomical. The use of level plural is not directly added to all attributes. In addition, I took a little advantage because I got two copies of this level 3, and I was promoted together with the size and number.

The second unoptional reward is one experience card for each person. This thing is actually a leveling area specially prepared for you. When you think it is appropriate, you can send yourself into the task space. This task space is independent and not connected to the normal map. The monsters inside are also designed completely based on personal characteristics, which is especially suitable for card users to practice. For example, priest professional players will be difficult to level up, and it will be difficult to upgrade if no one brings it. However, in this card, the system will modify the monster attributes to make the priests play very easily, so leveling in this thing will be much faster than outside. Moreover, this card also has the choice of experience multiples, which depends on how you decide. The higher the experience multiple, the stronger the enemy. If you are not afraid that a monster will be thrown out if you can't kill it, you can consider a super experience of tens of thousands of times of experience. Of course, I won't do that.

The third reward is ten good person cards per person. This kind of good person card is also magical equipment. When used, just burn it. After the card is lit, it will burn for an hour. During this period, it will not add evil values ​​to attack any enemy. Moreover, the third-party npc will never interfere in helping your enemies. It will only help you attack your enemies. Of course, if it is in the other party's city, it will not work. Because this thing is only useful to third-party npcs and useless to hostile forces' npcs.

The last two items are optional rewards. The first one is to choose a special piece of equipment. The system gives us a large number of optional options for us to decide for ourselves. Anyway, each person can only have one piece, so it doesn’t matter if we repeat it. The other optional reward is a bunch of pills. The so-called optional is actually similar to guessing. There are at least one hundred pills, and each pill has different effects. What you can get depends on luck. Let’s feel a little more assured that all the pills here have only benefits, at least not to draw poison or something.

After receiving the fixed reward, everyone started to choose their own optional rewards. A space door appeared in front of me, and after walking in, I entered a large arsenal. All the things I saw were optional items. Just take any of them and leave this equipment library. As for taking a few more items, it is impossible, because you can't pick up the item in your hand without putting it down.

Originally, I planned to get the most expensive piece of equipment, after all, I was all top-notch. Such a task would not give too exaggerated prizes, nor would there be any equipment that surpassed me, and I could buy the most expensive piece of equipment back and sell it. However, this idea was not realized because the Eternal Sword Spirit suddenly fell in love with a sword hanging on the wall and insisted on merging with the sword. I had no choice but to take the sword out.

The sword looks very strange. It has no physical body. Except for the hilt, it is a whole ball of black fog in the shape of a sword. I tried it with my hands. It could actually penetrate it through it. It was completely a phantom. Sometimes, it would even blow away the fog that formed the sword body, and it would take a long time to gather again.

"Eternal. What are you going to do if you want this thing? You are already very strong. Even if you still want to merge, you don't have to use such a weak sword, right?"

Eternity shook my hand and responded to my question: "What I want is not as simple as this sword. I want its special attributes. The name of this sword is Soul-Slaying, which only affects undead creatures without physical bodies. Moreover, when facing undead, its lethality is many times stronger than ordinary weapons. But this cannot completely cover up its weakness. This sword is completely useless when facing physical weapons, because it cannot hurt people at all. However, once I and Ye are completely integrated with it, it will be different."

"Why is it different?"

"After fusing it, I will gain the ability to blur. In the past, Master, when you encounter enemies with a very big gap between you and me, you cut off the opponent's weapons directly. However, not everyone we have met for so long has garbage weapons. Some people have strong weapons. At this time, I often have to attack multiple times to cause damage to the opponent. Isn't this awful?"

"Oh no, but that's nothing to do! Besides, I'm not fighting with your sharpness. Even though you are very strong, I'm still fighting with my own skills. Didn't I use it well when you couldn't use it in the past?"

"That's right, but after fusing this sword, I can gain the ability to deform, and you don't have to worry about other people's weapons anymore. Don't talk about those weapons that are not as sharp as me, even if the other party is sharper than me, we don't have to be afraid, because I can deform at will. For example, if the other party is wearing a too-invincible armor, you can't stab it in. At this time, I can deform. Once my deformed armor can't block my phantom, and once the phantom enters the other party's body, I can quickly become physical and directly hurt the other party's internal organs. What do you think this is like?"

"Don't you say that you ignore defense?"

"Generally, the neglect of defense on equipment is just an attribute, just partially ignoring defense. I am different. I can really completely ignore the opponent's defense and attack. In the future, if you hope I can hold the enemy's weapons, I can hold it. If you hope I can penetrate someone's shields and armor, I can penetrate it, and nothing can stop me. You can even cut the person behind the opponent through one person without hurting the person in front. Wouldn't it be very convenient if you encounter something like kidnapping or something?"

"That's right. Then you can merge quickly! I'll take it out for you anyway."

"Of course I want to merge immediately, but are you nothing about now?" Yongheng asked seriously.

"What can I do?"

Yong Heng immediately said: "Then let's say it first. The fusion will take more than thirty hours. During this period, I will be in a state that is completely unusable. You have to think about it. If there is a situation where fighting, it is best to avoid it first, or use other weapons to make do with a period of time."

"Don't worry. I still have Blade Claws and Moon Blade. If I really can't, I can switch to Silver Moon state and use a staff."

"Then I will start to merge. Okay, I will call you." After Yongheng said that, he immediately exploded into red silk threads like a bomb, and then completely wrapped the sword with black mist, then quickly contracted and turned into a ball, rolled back, and jumped onto the groove on my back and turned it into a groove prepared for him. It seemed that Yongheng would be useless for more than thirty hours.

After solving the equipment reward, the next one is the drug reward. This is simple. I don’t know which one is better, and I can’t even use comparison. Just get one. My luck is not good or bad. I got an experience medicine, and the effect is that all the experience values ​​obtained within seven days after taking it. It just so happens that the forefront base is built in the United States to fight with the Americans. This kind of large-scale war is the fastest escalation. Then you have double experience, and maybe I can get to level 1,000 in seven days.

After everyone completed their own reward project decision work, we convened a simple meeting with the backbone of the guild. Finally, we decided to place the new reward copy of Esinger between Eureka City and Koramas City, and named it Rock City, which means indestructible. In reality, this place is the Sequoia National Park in the United States. The terrain is relatively flat and there are no high mountains, but in the game, this place is completely a hilltop. And there are large areas of lush primitive jungle nearby, which is absolutely

It is a place that is not suitable for large corps to fight. Putting cities in such places can ensure the security of defense to the greatest extent. Anyone who wants to attack the city must first solve these mountains, otherwise the large corps will not be able to expand. In addition, not far east of this place is the most famous West Coast mountain line in the United States. The continuous mountainous areas will make it very troublesome to assemble large corps. Even if the number of enemies cannot be reduced, at least they can pull the line of force for a long time and reduce the enemy's attack intensity within a unit of time.

In fact, this location was a last resort. According to our most perfect plan, this Stone City should not be close to the coast. The American fleet is not as easy to deal with as the Little RB fleet. And the worst thing is that our fleet had to cross the Pacific Ocean to fight them, so the warship was too long, and we were at a disadvantage when fighting. Our original plan was to put the Stone City in the inland area, so that we could save a lot of trouble without caring about the sea battle. Later, when we informed the system of placing the city, we were told that the terrain was not matched. We asked for help.

I know that Aisinger is a harbor city with a port, and Pansinger is a completely replica of Aisinger, so Pansinger is also a harbor city. The system can slightly adjust the surrounding terrain according to the city situation when placing the city, and simulate a suitable location to place the city, but the system cannot be changed too exaggeratedly. The uneven coastline system can be adjusted, but it is impossible to place a port city in a place without water. Therefore, the system requires that even if we do not rely on the sea, it must be a big lake or a river wide enough, and it cannot be a waterless area anyway.

We want to put the Stone City inland because we don’t want to be harassed by the American fleet. At least our fleet can still compete with the Americans at sea. If it is placed on the Neihu or by the river, it will be completely done. The Americans have warships in the Neihu and the river. Our fleet cannot enter the Neihu, and then Panihu will become entangled. It is better to put it on the seaside and let the fleet help you.

After confirming the location, we cannot throw the city down immediately, otherwise the countdown will begin immediately, and we have to prepare some things first. The copied Panshi City has a complete set of weapons, equipment and war resources, but there is no one, so once the city is thrown down, it must start replenishing personnel immediately. Fortunately, the localized city can use ordinary domestic teleportation arrays, and we can immigrate quickly. However, we have to prepare the NPC in advance, and once the city appears, transportation must be started immediately.

In addition to ordinary NPCs, the more important thing is to fight NPCs. Our guild made a lot of money during this period, and the rose money began to make a big move. He introduced heavenly soldiers and generals worth billions of crystal coins from the Heavenly Court in one go. When the Jade Emperor heard that it was helping our country to expand territory, he waved his hand and gave me a half discount on the original basis, and the military strength doubled. In addition, the Heavenly Court seemed to attach great importance to our overseas development and actually brought out all the good things in the box for us.

When the Heavenly Court handed over the Heavenly Warriors, it was said to be a super weapon used when the Heavenly Court was formed, and it is said to be able to summon the ghost army to fight. When I saw the attributes, what kind of ghost army was? This thing is completely a magic circle of spirit weapons that uses the energy of the dead. No matter which side of the person who died, the soul after death will be sucked into the Eight Trigrams Mirror as energy, and the Eight Trigrams Mirror can release ghost soldiers to participate in the battle. The most abnormal thing about this thing is that it can be made in multiple numbers. Basically, for every person who dies on the battlefield, there are ten more ghost soldiers on our side. In other words, the number of people will die more. However, it is not a thing that goes against the will of heaven. Although the number of ghost soldiers it creates is large, the level is not high, and it is purely for trouble.

In addition to this mirror, the Jade Emperor also gave me a whole ten carts of talisman paper. The words written on these talisman papers are not written in the ghost-restrained text, but the hardness enhancement spell. The Jade Emperor asked me to stick this thing on the inside of the city wall. It can increase the hardness of the city wall and offset some magic damage.

For us, expanding our territory is to increase the guild territory, and for the Heavenly Court, they are also to increase their territory. Therefore, the Jade Emperor gave me so generously so many good things. If it were just this talisman paper, it might have been hundreds of crystal coins. Now the whole vehicle is given for free. It is unclear where the people in the city are still judging whether the Jade Emperor has received kickbacks.

The Heavenly Court gives face so much, of course, the other allies of our guild cannot be too shabby. The Monster Alliance sent us hundreds of tons of pills in one go. I thought it was for us to strengthen the attributes. I almost ate one, but fortunately the Shuixu Eyes and Monster snatched it. After asking, I realized that this thing was not for ordinary players and combat NPCs. But for free NPCs. Under normal circumstances, free NPCs are a group of NPCs with no combat power. They play the role of ordinary citizens in the city, making the game world more real. However, this medicine can quickly change the free NPCs for eating smaller ones.

Becoming a savage and cruel monster, its combat power can compete with players of level 4 or 500. Although the current player level is generally above level 600, it cannot stand up to many people! Free NPC can be said to be as much as possible, and it doesn’t cost money. It’s a big deal. It’s not a problem to get over 100 million monsters by grabbing these hundreds of tons of medicine. In addition, according to Shui Xu, this thing is not just a garbage monster. About every hundred people will produce an enhanced version of the monster, which can be at the level of level 600 players. In addition, a super monster may appear in every ten thousand people, whose combat power is about equal to the strength of a level 900 player, or even stronger.

Although the combat power can be said to be very good, the monsters are actually just auxiliary means. According to Shuixu, monsters have no intelligence at all and rely on instinct to fight, so once they fight, they will not distinguish between them. Except for the monsters that will not fight, they will not recognize anyone. However, Rose quickly developed a way for us to maximize the ability of monsters, which is to air-carry out to the enemy base camp. After that, we will see which guild comes to attack the city, and we will throw a bunch of monsters into the city where their guild belongs. The nest is in a hurry to see if they continue to stay and fight with us or go back to put out the fire. In addition, it is also a good way to air-drop the monsters directly into the center or rear of the enemy's position. Anyway, these guys are brainless and being surrounded will not affect their morale, and will only cause greater riots.

After the demon and the Heavenly Court expressed their intentions, the Dark Temple and the Light Temple of China also had a different meaning. However, the two families had average strength, and the relationship with us was not very certain, so they didn't give much. The Dark Temple added a thousand shadow killers to us, specifically to assassinate the enemy leader. In contrast, the Light Temple was more practical and added 100,000 priests in one breath. Although they did not have any combat power, they could make our vanguard troops more resistant and had a great impact on the battle situation.

After the Heavenly Court, we started to go to major guilds separately. Hongyue was responsible for the Hot Blood Alliance and Rose ran to the Northern Alliance. I sent the Iron Crusaders. These three allies had to pull up whatever they said. The final result was a little different from what was expected. Feng Yinpiaomiao was a passionate person anyway. After being strongly encouraged by Hongyue's sister, he jumped onto our chariot. At that time, all guild players will be dispatched and a large number of NPCs will be purchased to participate in the war. Not to mention Ashufude's Iron Crusaders, I heard that they can be with Mei.

The Chinese people seemed very excited to fight them and the entire guild. These guys had long wanted to test their combat effectiveness with the Americans. This time they finally got the chance. They had money to help us fight, and the Americans could not vent their anger. After all, they were just helpers. Even if the Americans were in trouble, they would still look for us and would not find them. Ashufud promised to dispatch all fleets and more than 80% of the players in the guild, and in addition, they would mobilize a large number of defensive weapons and NPC legions to assist us in the battle.

The only problem lies with the Northern Alliance. Several major forces within the Northern Alliance have serious differences of opinion. Some people believe that it is not suitable to start a war with the Americans too early and should maintain a good cooperative relationship for the time being. In addition, one party believes that a forward base will only make the Americans face our strength and will not really make them angry. It can make the Americans pay more attention to us, so they support the dispatch of troops. Another faction is a centrist who has been unable to make up their minds and wants to fight but is afraid of something happening.

Rose and Yanyu talked for a whole day. Yanyu still wanted to participate in the war, but their guild was different from us. The Northern Alliance was a bit like the anti-Japanese united front at the time. It was a guild consortium composed of multiple guilds. It was not entirely a guild. The internal subordinate relationship was not too strict, and there was no way to decide things like our guild. However, Yanyu at least agreed to mobilize his men to participate in the war, but it was uncertain how many people could come.

We also know the difficulties of Yanyu. He is different from us. Our guild is supported by Rose's powerful economic skills and my absolute strength. Such guilds have extremely strong attributes. I can say that I can fight wherever members can fight. Feng Yin Piaomiao's blood alliance was formed by a group of like-minded people, including Feng Yin Piaomiao himself, a strong man in charge of economic power, so it is natural that unified command is no problem. Ashufude's Iron Crusader was completely established by Ashufude himself, and it is completely like the sole proprietorship he opened. Ashufude's own money, no one can say it.

What. But Yanyu is different. The development of the Northern Alliance is based on the background of companies outside the game discovering business opportunities in the game and pouring into the game. It can be said that the Northern Alliance is a defensive force established by a business group to protect their own economic interests. Its leader should actually be money, not people. Yanyu is just a temporary person, and his orders are not absolute. Of course, everyone will not object to his meaning when they can see the interests, but if they cannot see the direct interests, the companies behind him may not be willing to support him, and this is also impossible.
