Chapter 85 Money Ability [Golden Sow]
"Everyone, please share your thoughts."
In the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Ercong summoned the top executives of the three major clubs and a group of individual player representatives.
Hundreds of people sat in the huge hall, and the people here could represent the will of all Death Scourge players.
"According to the latest official announcement of the progress of the world-class mission, the Lion Empire has dispatched at least 500,000 troops!"
Xu Ercong looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Considering that the magic teleportation array on the Esk continent cannot transport large-scale units, we don't have to worry about this group of troops being able to quickly kill their way to the Northern Border City for the time being."
"According to the project team's analysis, based on the speed of the Lion Empire's army, it will take them at least fifteen days to reach the Northern City."
Xu Ercong paused and said in a serious tone: "We only have fifteen days. Do you have any good ideas?"
Many cities and areas in the continent of Esk are engraved with teleportation magic circles. There is actually a magic circle in the Northern City as well. However, Xu Ercong was worried that this teleportation magic circle would become a useful tool for the Temple to invade the Northern City, so he destroyed it.
Due to the limitations of magic technology, the magic circle of the Esk continent can only teleport a maximum of ten people at a time, and it requires a certain amount of magic materials as a cost.
If the teleportation magic circle is used as a means of communication and a way to travel, there will naturally be no problem.
But if the teleportation magic circle is used as a tool to transport soldiers and troops, it would be too much to ask.
Not to mention the limitations of time and transmission frequency, the accumulated transmission costs alone are very high, which will greatly increase military costs.
"Fifteen days..."
When everyone heard Xu Ercong's words, they all lowered their heads in thought, trying hard to think about how to break the impasse.
"Based on the battle strength and number of troops on both sides, our player camp is at an absolute disadvantage, and the chance of defeating the Lion Empire camp is zero."
Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward and said, "But the world mission requires us to protect the Northern City. In other words, we just need to ensure that the Northern City is under our control, or drive away the enemy."
Long Aotian pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter what you said. If we want to ensure that the Northern City is still our city, we have to drive away those little bastards."
"Yes, that's right."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and continued, "Our strategic goal can only be to repel them. If we attack head-on, we will definitely have no chance."
As soon as Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up and they all thought of a solution.
"Surprise attack!"
Long Aotian licked his lips, chuckled and said: "That's a good idea. Although sneak attacks don't seem like something a real man would do, there's no need to be moral when it comes to NPCs."
"I agree."
The philosopher stood up and pointed to the game map on the conference table and said, "Now, the coalition forces of the Lion Empire have just left the Thorn Flower City."
"A 500,000-man army will definitely leave traces when it advances. We only need to set up ambushes along the way. We will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, or at least delay their progress!"
Before the philosopher finished speaking, Wang Dali suddenly jumped up.
"I thought about it. There are also logistical issues for the army!"
Wang Dali shouted and said excitedly: "Don't forget, everyone, Death Scourge is a well-known hardcore game. All the actions of the NPCs are extremely realistic, so the NPC coalition forces in the war must have a team responsible for protecting and transporting the army's logistical supplies!"
"For an army of 500,000, logistics would probably be a huge burden!"
"Have you forgotten what Cao Cao loved to do the most in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? We can raid the forage supplies!"
"Without logistics and food supplies, these soldiers, army magicians, and temple knights, are they going to fight on an empty stomach?"
Wang Dali laughed: "A surprise attack on the food supplies, my method will definitely work!"
Ma Kesi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Whether it's a surprise attack on the army or cutting off their food supplies, we must ensure that the point of our collision with the NPC army is as far away from the Northern City ."
"This way, even if our plan fails, we will have enough time to prepare for the next step."
"good."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded in agreement: "We can let the project team design a complete set of strategies and plans around the surprise attack as the core policy."
"As the saying goes, three heads are better than one. We can also post a thread in the strategy section of the game forum to call on players to brainstorm."
"From ancient times to the present, there are countless examples of winning with fewer people. As long as we put in a little effort, we can definitely do it!"
Everyone talked and looked at each other, and the whole strategic plan suddenly became much clearer.
Even Xu Xiaofan, who was eavesdropping nearby, couldn't help but nod: "The quality of this batch of believers is very high."
"What's the plan?"
Long Aotian slammed the table and yelled, "If it's me, I'll just take the guys over to fight! Anyway, the players can be resurrected, and they can't kill these little bastards!"
"I think the idiot planner is deliberately making things difficult for us players this time. Let's just play bigger, fight all the way to the temple, and clear the expansion pack. I want to see if the idiot planner will get fired!"
Long Aotian is still so domineering, always clamoring to attack the temple's lair.
However, when everyone heard Long Aotian roar like this on the eve of the war, they could indeed feel the blood flowing in their bodies.
A good man is not afraid of a strong enemy. In the real world, he certainly cannot wield swords and guns, but in the game world, everyone can invincible and have a fierce battle.
In any game involving war elements, no one would hate Long Aotian's style of play.
Don’t be afraid, just do it!
Life in reality is already frustrating enough for everyone, as everyone is a social animal. In the game, since the NPCs don't give us a chance to develop, we'll just overturn the table if we get pushed to the limit!
"good!"
Xu Ercong nodded and waved his hand: "For the time being, the plan will be like this. The project team will make a plan! The three major clubs will arrange personnel to post messages and conduct pre-war mobilization!"
"We don't have much time left. We must make all preparations within two days at the latest!"
"This battle is of vital importance! We must show the courage and wisdom of our player camp and never let the dog planners underestimate us!"
Everyone dispersed and the meeting ended.
The entire Northern City was in motion because of the operation of the three major clubs, and different rumors spread quickly among the players.
"Another group fight is about to begin! This time it's different from the previous small fights. There are a full 500,000 enemies!"
"This bastard planner is really a piece of shit. He actually set up a hellish group dungeon for us!"
"I'm definitely not a coward! We'll win with fewer people! Slap the face of the dog planner!"
Ever since the news came that 500,000 troops were about to attack the city, look at the players' reactions, each of them either looked indifferent or extremely excited.
Is this the attitude a normal person would have when hearing that war is coming?
Most of the players want to play in a team and get points every day.
There are endless creative ideas on the player forums, and some players have even collected real-world war strategy cases for analysis.
There are even players who spontaneously divide themselves into groups and conduct actual strategic exercises in the forum, playing the roles of both the enemy and us, looking for loopholes and various feasible war plans.
With the combined wisdom of tens of thousands of players, the potential that is unleashed cannot be underestimated.
Xu Xiaofan even doubted whether he should change his mindset and stop worrying about the players and instead worry about the situation of the Lion Empire.
There is no need for mobilization from the three major clubs, as most of the players are in high spirits to fight.
Xu Ercong had just given the order to open the [Team Alliance] and set up registration points for individual players and the organization of individual legions. However, in just half a day, more than a dozen registration points were overwhelmed by the players!
There are too many people and not enough manpower.
Even Long Aotian was sent to the registration point to maintain order.
"Damn it, why are you, a person who hasn't changed his job, joining in the fun? Are you going to give your head to the temple?"
"In a team fight, you, me, and him, those who are afraid of death are not human!"
A weak Skeleton Soldier player puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I have saved up 180,000 New Year's money! I will go buy life points to upgrade directly and then change my job. I also want to fight with everyone!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the players at the registration point were all shocked and looked at the weak skeleton soldier with extremely horrified eyes.
"Fuck! A lucky money of 180,000!"
"Hiss! I think this boy is extremely talented. At such a young age, he has already understood the money power of the [Krypton Gold Sow]. Given time, he will become a great man! He will become the supreme boss of the online gaming generation!"
"I suddenly felt a little sad. I have lived for 30 years, but my savings are not as much as a child's."
The sounds of people gasping for breath came one after another, and everyone sighed in their hearts that there were really many rich people in the Death Scourge.
“Promising!”
Long Aotian gave a thumbs up and said, "Minors should not spend money on playing games, study hard."
"Brother Long, I am an adult. I am already thirty-two years old."
"Uncle level? You are pretending to be young in front of me! You are already over 30, how come you still have New Year's money?"
"My mom said that as long as you're not married, you can get New Year's money, so I've kicked out 38 girlfriends."
"I……"
Long Aotian suddenly felt a little pain in his teeth. He could only nod his head: "As terrifying as it is, you are indeed a great man of your generation. Show me your ID card later . As long as you are an adult, you will be saved."
"Okay, Brother Long!"
The registration point was bustling with activity, and NPCs also came to join in the fun.
Boya, the boss of the Adventurer's Tavern, found Long Aotian and explained his purpose: "Brother Aotian, I heard that there will be another war in the North? The people in the temple persuaded the king to send a large army to attack?"
"Yes, yes, you should move the pub and run away. I am busy now."
"You are not treating me as a brother! Am I the kind of person who abandons his brothers and runs away alone?"
Boya glared and yelled, "I'm here to sign up with my brothers!"
"WTF?"
Long Aotian was stunned and looked at Boya in confusion: "You want to sign up for the battle too? Why? This has nothing to do with you."
"As a proud believer in the God of Death, now that the main city is in trouble, I will fight for the glory of the God of Death!"
Boya puffed out his chest without blinking.
Long Aotian suddenly understood.
The three major clubs all seem to have overlooked one point.
The NPCs in the Northern City are also a fighting force that cannot be ignored!
