Chapter 44: When going to war, you must find cannon fodder!
The conclusion of the world line is still very powerful. Without the intervention of the Seven Pigeons, the dungeon players successfully sent out the Caveman Firebearer.
Although I don't know the specific attributes of the Caveman Fire Bearer, I still know that the Seven Pigeons of Hellfire has a casting distance of more than 40 blocks and a very large range.
But after calculating the price of a tier 6 soldier, Qi Ge backed off.
The maximum cost of upgrading a tier 3 soldier to tier 4 is 1,000 gold coins. The minimum cost of upgrading a tier 4 soldier to tier 5 is 3,000 gold coins. The starting price of upgrading a tier 5 soldier to tier 6 is 5,000 gold coins.
There is about 10,000 cavemen firebearers for each one, and there are 32 cavemen firebearers in that team, multiply that by 3.
Close to one million gold coins, I dare not even think about it! Is there that much in the entire server combined?
Sir Mlak, your people need help!
Just kidding, I do know a few ways to get the gold coins, but none of them are for now. I should think of a way to change my job first.
First put the caveman recruitment scroll in the package to collect dust.
After a difficult exploration, Qi Ge finally returned to the territory before dark after defeating three teams of wandering soldiers in a row.
"Master Qige! You are finally back!"
Petra was very excited to see the seven pigeons coming back, and said to them:
"You have fulfilled your mission! During the three days you were away, there were two monster attacks on the city.
They were a group of zombies and a group of werewolves, and we killed them all without any injuries!"
"This is the spoils of war, please check it."
System prompt: Get 800 gold coins, 2 ores, 2 wood, Snow Fairy Bell Tower
Snow Fairy Bell Tower
Tower Level 1 Stage 1 Hidden Building
Construction requirements: 300 gold coins, 5 wood, 5 ore
Petra, are you sure this is a trophy and not something you smuggled in?
"Lord Qige! The territory is facing two problems now. One is that the fairies in the territory are all combat professions and cannot enjoy the work efficiency bonus I bring.
The second fairy waterwheel requires a river to be built. I measured and found that the river closest to the territory requires two buildings to cross.
There is no rush for the combat profession issue . Anyway, the territory is short of troops to defend the city, so they can be allowed to handle it first. When brother Ke Ruoke comes back, ask him to help bring some items for job transfer.
The most urgent task is to find two buildings to build the waterwheel. Those big goblins have been resting for three whole days! Even the donkeys in the goblin production team dare not rest like this! "
Hiss! That's too much, Petra! I didn't expect you to be such a goblin, thinking of how to exploit your own kind! I, Qi Ge, disdain to associate with you!
"I have two buildings, just right. By the way, these foods are for you, I may have to go on a long trip soon."
Qi Ge left all the tradable food on him to Petra, and traded 1,000 gold coins to replenish arrows for the goblins.
Petra was very happy to receive the food. "I was just about to tell you that we have almost eaten up all the food you left last time, but there are still some gold coins left. These are really timely. Great and kind Lord Seven Pigeons, you are indeed the best lord!"
Together with Petra, he recruited the goblin architects to first shoot the forest centaur camp, then build the snow goblin clock tower, and finally the twelve goblin architects worked together to build the goblin waterwheel.
Snow Goblin
Tower Level 1 Tier 1 Hidden Soldier
Attack: 1
Defense: 0
Range: 4
Ammo: 12
Damage: 1
Health: 3
Speed: 3
trick:
Ranged Arms
Snow Survival: Attack +2 Speed +1 in the snow
Stone Attack: Automatically replenish ammunition after the battle. During the battle, you can consume one round of action to replenish 3 ammunition.
Description: Snow goblins are goblins living outside the Tower City. They are dressed in rags and tens of thousands of them freeze to death every winter.
They will pick up rocks from the ground to attack, so their ammunition is very cheap.
Recruitment fee: 20 gold coins
Quantity: 20
The Snow Fairy gave Qi Ge a great surprise, it was actually an extremely rare level 1, stage 1 long-range weapon!
Although the Snow Elf's damage is very low and its range is pitifully short, it is at least long-range and can still be used in a city defense battle under the protection of the refugee camp wall.
Qi Ge was too lazy to wait for the fairy waterwheel to be built, so he recruited a forest centaur and set off directly to Glory City.
Forest Centaurs can increase forest movement speed by 10% just by being in the team, without even having to go into battle!
So recruiting just one is enough.
It’s like plugging in a treasure!
The rest are not recruited. First, it can save food. Second, Petra is here, and there are enough gold coins left for Petra. If it is really necessary, Petra will naturally recruit forest centaurs to defend the city.
On the way, Qi Ge opened the friend system and read the messages sent to him by the studio members.
Due to the three-day delay, the other members of the studio have reached level 10 and started to change their jobs one after another.
Lin Xi is the one who has made the fastest progress among them. He has successfully changed his job and started his explosive growth period. He is currently clearing the jungle like crazy.
Le Meng also sent a message to Qi Ge, and found out that the master architect Aged was in Yinxue City, and even found out the exact location for Qi Ge.
It's safe to have a group of reliable brothers.
Moving straight along the road, killing some weak wild monsters along the way, Qi Ge successfully arrived at the City of Glory.
As soon as he entered Rongguang City, he was arrested.
"Seven pigeons!"
Qi Ge looked up and saw the rich woman with white silk stockings changed into black silk stockings of a nun pointing at him in the tailor shop in Rongguang City.
No, your characteristics are gone?!
How should I call you? The Black and White Devils?
"How did you recognize me? I was wearing a thief's cloak and a face scarf."
The rich lady in black stockings pointed at the bow in Qi Ge's hand and said with a stifled smile, "The bow of the wood elves. You had it last time too. You were the one pretending to be a newbie on the forum, right?"
Are you the famous station explorer Kudo Rich Woman? You can catch me doing anything?
It's also my fault that I have clumsy hands. It's a habit I got from playing a warrior in my previous life. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't have something in my hands.
Qi Ge said a little embarrassedly: "What do you want? I'm in a hurry."
The rich woman in black stockings came over and whispered, "Qi Ge, you are so good at playing games, do you have any hidden tasks you can share with me?"
Qi Ge said thoughtfully, "Yes, there is."
The rich woman in black stockings' eyes lit up, and she grabbed Qi Ge's arm: "Take me one, take me one."
Qi Ge quickly shook him off: "What are you doing? Do you want to get something for nothing?"
The rich lady in black stockings transferred 2,000 gold coins without saying a word.
As expected of a rich man, he is so willful.
"I can share it with you, but let me be frank. If you can't do it after I give it to you, you can't blame me. I won't refund the money."
The rich woman in black silk stockings laughed in her heart, "Giving it to me is like giving the entire world hegemony. Even if I can't do it, there are so many great gods in the world hegemony, can't they do it?"
"I promise I won't regret it, as long as you don't fool me with some rubbish missions and at least get to be an elite or above!"
Haha, elite? Have you never seen the world?
System prompt: Do you share the main quest: Liberation of the Fairies?
"yes."
Qi Ge felt very relieved when she saw the expression of the rich woman in black stockings change from ecstasy to shock and then to confusion.
"Qi Ge, this is a true god-level mission! This is too high-end!! But which faction tower is mentioned in the mission? I only know about the Archer Tower and the Griffin Tower. Is there a type of soldier called faction?" asked the rich lady in black stockings puzzled.
"You lack imagination." Qi Ge laughed secretly:
"Open the map and zoom out, as small as possible. Do you see it?"
The rich woman in black stockings was stunned and stammered, "Power, power tower!!! Bracada! Destroy, destroy the tower!"
The rich woman in black stockings looked up hurriedly and saw Qi Ge had already walked forward.
She quickly called out, "Qi Ge, add me as a friend, my name is Liuli."
Qi Ge was walking on the road, thinking to himself: "If we drag the No. 1 guild in the Heroes World into the water, it means we will drag all the guild players in the Heroes World into the water. Almost every guild has spies in the Heroes World."
The main quest can be shared at no cost. In the previous life, there was no main quest to liberate the fairies.
It is too difficult for Qi Ge to complete this main storyline alone, and it is not realistic for the entire Qixi Youmeng Studio to work together.
But, by combining the strength of all players, perhaps, success is really possible?
The seven pigeons walked on the road of the City of Glory, but it seemed as if they were walking on the wreckage of war.
The corpses of countless players paved the way for the Seven Pigeons to advance. The wizard's robes scorched by fire fluttered in the wind, the fragments of the magic lamp were stomped on and made a crackling sound, and the corpses of the Titans piled up into a mountain.
And I, Qi Ge, will step on your corpses, pick the Tears of Yasha from Bracada, and become the new king of the fairy tribe!
"The Giant Eagle transportation fee to White Rock City is 1,000 gold coins. Are you going or not? The last bus of the day is about to leave."
"Go, go, go! Go now."
He quickly took out 1,000 gold coins to send away the impatient guards, and the seven pigeons got on the giant eagle.
Without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river. A blacksmith must be strong himself, so change his career first.
The Giant Eagle is a level 6, stage 3 super-giant soldier with a wingspan of more than ten meters, but it is difficult to reproduce, and the nest of the Giant Eagle's heroic soldiers has not been found so far.
After finding a comfortable place to lie down on the Giant Eagle, Qi Ge began to browse the forum.
It is less than an hour until dark, and the Giant Eagle will take off in the night.
"Have you heard? Sir Mlak has captured three cities on the western front!"
"What's the use of Sir Mlak fighting well? Queen Catherine in the center is still being suppressed. In my opinion, Her Majesty the Queen is good at logistics, but she is no match for Hell in war."
"It doesn't matter. Lord Sosa will be here soon. As long as Lord Sosa reaches the eastern front, the situation will improve."
"Yes, with Lord Sosa cooperating with Lord Oring, hell will soon be overwhelmed."
"This holy war will definitely not be like the previous two. We, Erathia, will surely win!"
Your savior Sosa will rebel next week.
Qi Ge complained silently.
The first week of the game is an adaptation week, allowing players to adapt to the gameplay of the game.
Starting from the second week, the main storyline of the game will be launched.
The first main mission of human forces is Sosa's rebellion.
Because of the rebellion of the legendary hero Sosa, each city will issue a series of tasks to guide players to clear out the rebel forces related to Sosa.
Several cities in Sosa will also be directly transformed into wild cities.
Conquering these wild cities is the fastest way for players to obtain large cities.
The first confrontation between players and NPC forces is about to begin.
Sosa's rebellion would last a full year, until the end of the year when Sosa was besieged and killed by a group of Hidden Arms fanatics led by Inheim.
If you think about it carefully, there are actually a lot of things that are wrong. Although the background of the Heroes of Might and Magic III is different, there are some things in common.
For example, Sousa's admiration and loyalty to Catherine.
It is hard to imagine why Sosa would rebel.
In his previous life, Qi Ge played the world of Heroes like a professional player. He hardly ever analyzed or thought about the plot seriously, and his mind was full of jungle farming and leveling up.
The previous life storyline was developed by Le Meng more than a month after the game was launched.
Qi Ge's main job is to manage the order of the guild, lead guild members to clear the wilds, do dungeons, fight in guild wars, and search for hidden tasks all over the world.
At the same time, Qi Ge is also responsible for organizing the tens of thousands of hidden military type information in each military type tree.
I interact with players much more often than I do with NPCs.
If only Le Meng was also reborn, he would know what was going on.
The first version of the previous life was a civil strife. The nine major forces of castles, towers, barriers, hell, cemeteries, dungeons, strongholds, fortresses, and elements all had legendary heroes launching rebellions at the same time.
This version lasted a whole year.
The second version is Tears of Yasa.
A new Tear of Yasa condenses in the Realm of Chaos (wild monster area).
The Tears of Asha are the foundation for building power. Only with the Tears of Asha can you establish a new power and the capital of the new power.
Once the capital is established, it is like driving a nail into the chaos, and the main city and branch cities can be continuously built around the capital.
At the same time, you can pardon basic troops of levels 1-6.
As for the seventh-level troops, of course, whichever race obtains the Tears of Yasa will become the new seventh-level troops!
When the angels established their power, they only had humans as allies, so the castle's level 1 to 6 soldiers are almost all humans. This is very special, and there is a story behind this that I will tell you about later.
In the second version, for the Tears of Yasha, the nine major forces and all the neutral races fought each other till their brains were exhausted.
The players were divided into more than a dozen factions and the battle lasted for a whole year. The situation kept changing. The Sapphire Dragons joined the battle, the Nagas joined the battle, the Mermaids joined the battle, and even the Void Monsters living deep in the Sea of Chaos got involved.
Two of the top ten guilds were destroyed during this period.
In the end, fate played a joke on the entire world of Heroes, and the Tears of Yasa failed to condense.
All that was left were broken walls and corpses scattered all over the ground.
In the third version, the true masters of all the major forces surfaced. The true god-level heroes behind the seven-level arms of castles, towers, barriers, hell, cemeteries, dungeons, strongholds, fortresses, and elements stood on the stage to resist the invasion of the Chaos Continent.
Chaos Continent is an overseas server.
This is also the beginning of a head-on confrontation between domestic and foreign players.
It was in that year that the Seven Pigeons' guild was defeated in a battle against the Bald Eagle Country's number one guild, the Gotham Jokers, which resulted in the guild being massacred.
The reason was the betrayal of a traitor.
Qi Ge sighed and felt angry when he thought about these things now.
Qi Ge’s original idea when he was reborn was very simple. He wanted to bring several brothers from the studio with him and start the game again.
I won’t form a guild this time. I will just be a professional player and enjoy the game.
By the way, guide the domestic guilds to avoid unnecessary internal friction, and wait for the foreign servers to come and smash their heads, especially the "Gotham Joker", who must be given a special response.
However, Qi Ge unknowingly encountered many stories with many NPCs who he had never taken seriously in his previous life.
The appearance of Ke Ruoke, Smith and Petra completely disrupted the plans of the Seven Pigeons.
In the end, the goal of the Seven Pigeons became to destroy the tower and liberate the fairy tribe.
Now there is one more person, we have to save Smith's father and Sir Mlak at the same time.
In short, change your job first, then call on your brothers to build a city, accumulate enough troops to rescue your father-in-law, develop and develop, and then find a way to trick those stupid players into rushing to the tower with me!
If we can take down the tower before the national war and build our own power, that would be awesome. If foreign servers come, won't they be killed by us?
Defeat the Thunder Titan! The fairies will never be slaves!
"We're ready to take off, everyone take your seats!"
As the guard priest on the giant eagle shouted, the giant eagle cried out loudly, summoned a magic shield that could block the wind, and flapped its wings to gradually rise.
As night fell, the lantern held by the priest above the giant roc lit up, and the warm Diyasa fire cast a glow.
Passengers don't need to worry about the chaos monsters in the night, the giant eagles and priests will deal with them.
Qi Ge watched the Rongguang City shrinking in his field of vision. As his field of vision expanded, Qi Ge saw the Smith family's castle and his own territory.
Soon, the Smith family's castle became a small black dot, and the territory of the seven pigeons had long been so small that it could no longer be seen.
There are four types of cities in the world of Heroes.
Each faction has only one capital city, which can produce military buildings of levels 1 to 7.
The main city can produce 1 to 6 types of troops, and there is a portal that can teleport to the main city of a faction that is not at war.
The county city can produce troops of levels 1 to 4.
It was built near the main city and was responsible for supporting the main city during wartime. It was also the logistics base of the Acropolis.
Rongguang City is the county seat of Baishi City.
Acropolis, a small branch city of the county city. The castle where Smith is located is the Acropolis. It is usually built in the chaotic area and is responsible for expanding the territory. There are usually some villages around it.
Once the Acropolis has a level 4 military building, it will automatically be promoted to a county city.
However, if a county town wants to be upgraded to a main city, it must either obtain approval from the capital or rebel and establish itself, which makes approval very difficult.
Of course, you can also sneakily knock out more advanced military buildings, as long as you are not discovered. (If you are discovered, it will be considered treason)
The highest level you can go is the main city, so how can players produce level 7 soldiers?
There are only two ways: to fight in the wild barracks at the risk of one's life, or to work as a bootlicker for high-level NPCs in the capital to get recruitment quotas.
There are a total of 130 main cities in the Kingdom of Erathia. Each main city has 3 to 4 county cities, and each county city is dotted with 20 to 30 acropolises.
The other nine forces are similar, among which the Tower is the strongest, with a total of 146 main cities.
When players build a city, they start with the Acropolis. After upgrading to a county city, they need to find ways to upgrade it to the main city.
But neutral forces are different. Neutral forces are not affiliated with any force and will not be protected by any force. There is no restriction on the city level. As long as the hardware requirements are met, they can be upgraded as needed.
Even if a neutral force is able to obtain the Yasa Fire, it can become a new force with powerful level seven soldiers and compete with other forces.
But the prerequisite is that you can withstand it.
In the future, other players' cities will be built near the county towns of their respective forces.
Seven pigeons won’t work.
Once the city built by the neutral forces of Qi Ge was built, it was simply a gift to the NPCs, and it would be taken down within two days.
The seven pigeons could only run to the depths of the Chaos Zone, ignite the Fire of Yasa and build a city.
Moreover, Qi Ge had already planned it out. When the city was being built, he would directly let the people in the studio move their territory here and build the city together, connecting the outer city walls and demolishing the middle city walls.
A city group was formed with the neutral forces of the Seven Pigeons as the core, and barriers, castles, cemeteries, and towers as branches.
In this way, you can resist the attacks of various monsters in the chaos zone while avoiding the restrictions of the city level!
Because the neutral forces of Qi Ge have no restrictions on the construction of level 1 to 6 barracks and can upgrade all the way to the main city, the other four people in the studio can use the city scale of the neutral forces of Qi Ge to avoid the restrictions of the NPC forces on them and directly build high-level barracks!
This method has been tried by players in previous lives and was successful.
Therefore, in the later period, many guild players tried every means to rebel and become neutral forces, hoping to build a huge guild city in this way.
But in the end they were all killed by NPCs.
Because rebellion is intolerable to NPC forces, if the legendary hero fails to kill the player, they will send a demigod. If one demigod is not enough, they will send two, until the player is killed.
The moment Qi Ge entered the game, he was paving the way for the future. A neutral city developed from scratch could avoid the threat of NPC forces during its weakest period as long as the location was well chosen!
First of all, the city must be built in the chaotic area, but not too far away from the NPC forces. If it is too far away, the level of the wild monsters will be too high, and it will be difficult to withstand the siege and clear the wild monsters; if it is too close, it will be easy to be attacked by the NPC forces.
And we also have to consider whether there are enough mines nearby to supply the city’s construction and consumption.
Qi Ge has always had a goal in mind since his rebirth.
The city-building point that can buy precious time for development is at...
"Attention passengers, the first wave of Chaos monsters is about to arrive. Please don't panic and wait patiently."
The voice of the priest interrupted Qi Ge's thoughts. Qi Ge looked around and saw that a faint chaotic mist had surrounded the giant eagle.
"Hero passengers, please select spectator mode and do not enter the battle. If you enter the battle without permission, our Holy Angel Church will not guarantee your safety."
System prompt: Chaos monsters are attacking the giant eagle. Do you want to join the battle?
"no!"
Enter the battle map!
The soul of Qi Ge floated in the air, looking at the battle map below.
40*40 grid battle terrain
The enemy is 6 teams * 8 level 3, stage 2 wood elves and a wood elf hero.
Our side has a level 6, stage 3 giant eagle and a 6*10 priest, as well as a priest hero on the field.
The Giant Eagle is extremely large, occupying a full 19 squares (two hexagonal circles), and is a super giant soldier.
It is the same size as the dragon Behemoth.
When the battle started, each team of priests cast enhancement magic on the giant eagle: accelerated attack, prayer, blessing of the Holy Spirit, inspiration, protective shield, and protective stone skin.
Then the sacrificial hero used instant teleportation to teleport the giant eagle to the half court.
The giant eagle let out a loud cry, and the soul-stirring eagle cry resounded throughout the entire battlefield. Its sharp eagle eyes stared at the wood elf hero, like the gaze of the god of death.
