Chapter 258: Rapid Travel in the Snow!
Before the arrival of the Dragon Fang Fleet, Dongzheng City was a place of hope for the refugees. Despite the hardships, the refugees had endless expectations for the future.
After the arrival of the Dragon Fang Fleet, the refugees in Dongzheng City were once again in despair, as if they were the walking dead who had just come back to life but had lost their souls again.
Only a small number of refugees who knew Adela still had hope for the future. The rest of the refugees were not so desperate only because of the players' encouragement .
Some players from the Timely Rain Guild took on the responsibility of helping distribute food to the captured civilians and soldiers in Dongzheng City.
There were real-life chefs among the players who made soup with cabbage and ginger, which added a little warmth to the cold hearts of the refugees.
On a cold night, a bowl of hot cabbage and ginger soup made the NPCs' faces rosy.
The refugees were not happy, because they knew that after this meal, they would be back under the control of the church.
A captured soldier started crying while eating. Even they hadn't eaten so full in a long time.
The soldiers who didn't understand the situation hated Saniel to the core.
They could clearly still hold on, and there was still hope, but Saniel just surrendered.
Some soldiers were unwilling to give in and wanted to resist.
They understood that with the legendary hero Adela around, any resistance would be futile and would only cost them their lives.
So they secretly colluded with each other, prepared to be patient for the time being, wait for the Legend of Sosa to return from Mrak, and then quickly rebel, with internal and external support.
But those soldiers could never have imagined that Adela, whom they feared, had already left the East Expedition City with the Seven Pigeons and was rushing to the Mlak Territory.
The four wheels rolled on the snow, stirring up clouds of snowflakes.
As the white snow flew in the sky, it was sucked into a hole at the back of the Train King.
When the Train King spit out the snowflakes, they became visibly smaller and even their colors became a little darker.
Adela and Qi Ge sat in the back seat, while Ke Ruoke and Fei Mengmeng who was driving sat in the front.
Little Yinhe sat on Qige's lap and looked out the window curiously.
“In fact, the system currently adopted by Erathia is not entirely useless.
The two factions of the people's livelihood and the theocracy restrained each other, and the ultimate beneficiaries were all the military classes of Erathia.
Since neither side dominates, military force becomes a bargaining chip that both sides must fight for.
If any civilian in Erathia can't survive, they can still join the army.
Just like Luo Xiang, he knew very well that he would never be able to make a name for himself in his life by relying on a logistical career like pulling a horse-drawn carriage.
So he had already prepared to join the army to fight for a future.
The generous treatment of combat arms ensures the military strength of Erathia.
But there are only so many social resources in total. The church takes up the majority, the army takes up a small part, and there is only a little left for the logistics arms.
This is the root cause of the extremely difficult life of the civilians in Erathia."
Adela nodded and added:
“Teacher Ronis’ original intention was not to define the church as a tool for making money.
But whether it is opening a church or temple, or recruiting monks to pray, it requires a lot of resources and gold coins.
Church members need to spend a lot of time praying every day.
Since believers do not engage in production, they naturally cannot generate basic food resources.
After all, only angels can absorb faith values, and even believers cannot make a living by relying on faith.
This is also the root cause of the church's need to frequently exploit civilians.
Among them, examples like Judas are actually exceptions.
Not all officiants are greedy.
The problem of system is the Achilles' heel of our church."
Qi Ge and Adela were discussing Erathia's political system and religious culture along the way, and they were having a great time chatting.
Qi Ge processed what Adela from his previous life told him slightly according to his own thoughts and then told Adela again.
Every word touched the deepest and softest part of Adela's heart, making her unable to stop and her heart was about to burst into tears.
From Dongzheng City to Mlak Territory, you need to pass through the Milu Snow Mountain.
The terrain of Milu Snow Mountain is extremely complex, with steep rocks and piles of snow.
It is said that even deer will lose their way when they reach this mountain range, so it is named Milu Snow Mountain.
Normally, to cross the Milu Snow Mountain, one has to take a long detour and go around the snow mountain. There is a garrison built by the official Elasia government, which can provide a place for heroes and soldiers to rest.
However, Qi Ge and his team don't need to go through so much trouble as they have Ferry's "Train King".
They just followed a straight line between the two points and tried to climb over the Milu Snow Mountain.
Although the name of "Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow" is exaggerated, it is a real fifth-level treasure.
Perry's successful promotion to legend was due to the production of "Rock the Train".
The Train King is a 4-wheel drive, aerodynamic, terrain-ignoring, self-propelled crossbow vehicle with a moving speed of up to 18 points. Its appearance is extremely similar to the military trucks in Qi Ge's real world.
Yes, Leeroy is ridiculously aerodynamic!
It can directly absorb subaquatic energy from the external natural environment while turning on and absorbing at the same time. As long as it is not in the chaotic zone, there is no need to "refuel" or "charge" at all.
If there were such a power system in the real world, all countries would go crazy.
In the magical world, there are always many unreasonable things.
Just when Qi Ge and Adela were having a heated discussion, Xiao Yinhe shouted.
"Ah! Admiral, there is a cliff ahead!"
Fei Rui looked ahead. There was a canyon with a huge drop in the distance, but she stepped on the accelerator and chose to accelerate without hesitation.
But Ruoke looked at the huge gap in front of her, her heart almost jumped out, and she shouted: "Ahhh! Lord! We are going to fall!"
"Why are you panicking? I'm here!"
Fei Rui waved his hand and shouted:
"Ultimate Blazing Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow Car, use your dreams to chase the sky, and use your new attitude to announce your existence to the Yasha world!
Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Ballista! First stage transformation! "
The "Train King" floated in the air, its four wheels rolling continuously. Then, it suddenly grew a pair of scorpion-lion wings in mid-air and flew in the sky with fluttering wings.
But Ruoke was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face: "How can this be possible?"
Even Adela was surprised and clapped for Fei Rui, praising him: "It can actually transform! What a great ballista."
“Hehehe!”
Fei Rui's mouth curled up as he introduced them one by one:
“When I manufactured the [Ultimate Blazing Hellfire Cannon Ace Ballista], I utilized the necromancy of the cemetery and the biological transformation engineering of the dungeon.
I made the [Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow], which consumed 6 corpses of Magg, 2 corpses of Scorpion Lion, and 1 corpse of Sabertooth Shark.
Not only can it fly, it can also swim and adapt to all terrains!
But when flying, it needs to consume more energy and cannot fly for long.
But flying for more than ten minutes is not a problem.
After that, as long as the [Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow] travels normally for a certain distance, the spare energy tank will be automatically filled.
In addition, I also took some body parts of other creatures and combined them perfectly with the wooden machinery made of magic wood.
Therefore, the [Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow] is actually half mechanical and half undead.
I removed the dross and retained the essence, retaining all the beneficial effects of the undead and machines and removing the negative effects.
[Ultimate Flame Hellfire Cannon Ace Crossbow] is not affected by morale, nor by magic that restrains the undead, and can be treated as a machine for repair!
I developed this technology by combining the scorpion lion in the dungeon and the plague tent in the cemetery.
There is only one such store, no other!
This is me, a different kind of firework, the strongest ballista maker in Oufu!"
When Fei Mengmeng was introducing the train kings, she emphasized each of their names, which made Qi Ge feel so embarrassed.
"Wake up! You are no longer Ofer's person."
"Oh, that's right. You have already cheated me of my body. Now I am Neutral Feirui."
Adela's hand happened to be on Qi Ge's thigh. When she heard Fei Rui's words, she pinched it hard without saying a word!
"hiss!"
Qi Ge's face changed and he explained hurriedly:
"Phi Rui, please don't talk nonsense. I am innocent with you. I haven't even touched your hand."
"Also?" Adela smiled slightly and pinched even harder.
Fei Rui said sadly: "Isn't this a matter of time? I have even signed that kind of contract with you.
Sooner or later, they will follow you back to the territory, and then be tricked by you into the crossbow workshop.
By then, you will definitely threaten and lure me with the materials for making the ballista.
"Fei Rui, you certainly don't want the materials for the ballista to not arrive, right? From now on, it all depends on your performance."
And then, I can only, I can only.
Woo woo woo.
Qi Ge, you are not a half-elf! You are the cabbage king, the cabbage king of flowers!"
Hiss, it hurts!
Qi Ge was so angry.
I may not be a human, but you are a real dog.
It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime!
The point is, with Fei Mengmeng's brain, it is impossible for her to deliberately frame me while Adela is around.
She couldn't figure that out yet.
In other words, what she just said was her true feelings!
Damn it, I didn’t even eat you in my previous life. What misunderstanding do you have about me, Fei Rui?
"Adela, I don't think you can punish me for something that didn't happen, I protest!"
"Then tell me, will you do what Fei Rui said?"
"Absolutely not!"
The Holy Spirit’s Insight: [Lies! ]
"Okay, death penalty!" Adela smiled and added more strength.
Seven Pigeons: !!!
Brother Insight, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I'm really not that kind of person.
"Brother Admiral, there is a huge villa ahead!"
Fortunately, luck was on Qi Ge's side, and Xiao Yinhe's timely cry saved Qi Ge's life.
Qi Ge demonstrated a textbook expression change, from grinning to serious in an instant.
With his eyes sparkling and serious expression, he put his face close to Xiao Yinhe and asked, "Where is it?"
Little Yinhe pointed to a cliff not far away and said, "Admiral, look over there!"
Seeing this, Adela knew that she could not make any more trouble, so she pinched Qi Ge's stomach angrily.
Qi Ge forced himself to endure the pain, pretending that he had not been pinched, and observed carefully.
He stroked his chin, thinking.
It turned out to be the Freelancer's Guild.
To put it bluntly, the Freelancers Association is a gathering place for unemployed people.
Like the Witch's Hut, it is a special building that is randomly refreshed throughout the Yasa world.
In the Freelancers Association, heroes can sell NPC arms that they don't need, or buy some NPC arms back. (Only NPC arms can be traded)
Few players will sell NPC soldiers who are loyal to them.
Normally, the Freelancers Guild is where players deal with NPC captives.
But it's different for NPC heroes, especially the heroes from the cemetery, hell, dungeon, stronghold, tower and other forces, who are all frequent visitors to the Freelancers Association.
Especially in the cemetery, every person is a ghost dealer.
The NPC undead soldiers summoned by necromancy are free of charge.
The ghost mouth industry is simply the life-saving straw for every poor cemetery NPC lord.
Every year, countless skeletons and zombies are trafficked.
Qi Ge couldn't help but think deeply about it.
In the Freelancers Association, it is possible to buy "special" troops of the stronghold, such as fox girls and rabbit girls.
Ahem, in front of Adela, I should buy some flying NPC soldiers that are easy to take away.
In addition to the trading of NPC arms, the Freelancers Guild has another use.
That is where you can buy a hiring order.
The cost of a mercenary order is fixed at 1,000 gold coins, and each hero can only carry one at a time.
After using the hiring order, you can hire NPC creatures in the Freelancers Guild to join you in the next battle with wild monsters.
Just like paratroopers dropping from the sky.
The hired NPCs can be any level of soldiers, including level 7. (provided they are available in the Freelancers Guild)
The cost of hiring is 1/4 of the normal recruitment fee, but if an NPC soldier dies in battle, you will need to pay the Freelancers Association gold coins equal to the value of the hired NPC.
The mercenary order feature was very popular among players in the previous life.
For players whose troops are exhausted, they can rely on mercenary orders to capture a field barracks and recruit troops to make a comeback.
It is also a solution when you are out of ammunition and food.
"Admiral, look, there's an ice dog!"
Qi Ge looked at the guarding wild monster, which was a level 4, stage 2 snow monster.
The snow monster looks like an ice dog and its entire body is crystal clear .
The Yeti moves very fast on the snow and can surf on snowdrifts, ignoring terrain when moving.
They are born with the blessing of ice and snow, and have a chance to dodge when facing attacks and magic.
But apart from the fact that the Snow Monster has more health points among the level 4 soldiers, its other indicators are relatively balanced and it is not difficult to deal with.
Disc him!
Qi Ge got down from the Train King, took out a bow and arrow, and shot the Yeti's big toe with one arrow.
The Yeti's weakness is their toes, which they use to flatten the snow!
[System prompt: The sneak attack was successful, the enemy's morale -2, and an additional opportunity to act was obtained.]
[System prompt: Entering combat mode! ]
