attack city

Believe it or not, the Lord of Osmanthus City also knows very well that there seems to be no need to deceive others about the size of his city.

She couldn't think of any reason why Xiang Yang would lie to her.

"Then let me talk about the key points. Liulicheng controls the entire metal mine in the Langling area, as well as a nearby coal vein."

"You also know that there are usually very few of these mineral veins that do not attract energy behemoths."

"Although as a city-level city, Liuli City is very powerful, it cannot always cope with such a large number of constantly harassing enemies."

The Lord of Osmanthus City said.

"So, they need helpers to help defend them and deal with the invading energy behemoths." Xiang Yang asked: "If there are challenges from other cities, do they also need help?"

Although Xiang Yang has never encountered such a thing as assisting in the defense of mines in the third phase of the city, there are still some things that can be easily imagined, so you must ask clearly.

This kind of mineral vein will cause disputes between cities, if other third-stage cities also want to take possession of it.

There may be many counties or even county-level cities participating and forming a big alliance to get a share of the pie. The probability of this is relatively small, but it is not impossible to happen.

So, do the cities that come to assist in the defense also have an obligation to help in the fight?

"Well, within a radius of at least 100,000 kilometers, there is no urban-level city, and no city can compete with Liulic City."

The Lord of Osmanthus City was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xiang Yang to be so careful and even consider this situation. After thinking about it, he decided to speak more clearly.

"If we do encounter you, if you stand on our side, we will give you compensation, including compensating for all losses in the war. If you stand on the enemy's side, you are the enemy. If you stay out of the matter, you will not have any responsibilities to bear."

Osmanthus City Lord said: "This recruitment only needs to bear the crisis between energy giants and other non-city disputes."

"You? Not Liulicheng." Xiang Yang said.

"Similarly, we now represent Liulic City. My words can count." The Lord of Osmanthus City said in a firm tone, "After all, I am now recruiting plenipotentiary representatives."

"All right."

This does not seem to be explainable by the Recruitment Plenipotentiary.

It sounded like Osmanthus City and Liulic City were wearing the same pair of underpants. Xiang Yang thought it was a bit weird, but he didn't intend to delve into this issue for the time being. Instead, he said: "Let's talk about the details."

"Let's talk about the reward first."

The Lord of Osmanthus City said: "The specific remuneration depends on merit, but the type of remuneration paid includes all the resources we can get, but there are some restrictions on crystals. You know this is really very small."

"There are also some technologies that we know. If you put in a lot of effort, we can also provide some of them."

The Lord of Osmanthus City continued: "Liulic City has been built for more than sixty years, and their technological accumulation must be much stronger than that of ordinary cities."

The type of reward is what matters most.

This shows that whether it is rare metals, rare crystals, or technical abilities, they can be easily obtained as rewards. This is much simpler than trading with other cities or looking for it yourself.

This is the most attractive place.

In addition, the city-building mentioned by the Lord of Guihua City is a term used by some aborigines, which means to successfully plant a city, usually for a city that has survived for a long time and is large-scale.

But even for third-stage cities, new humans will basically not say this. They will still directly talk about planting cities, how long a city survives, etc.

Including Xiang Yang.

Even after being reborn and living in the wasteland world for several years, he still had difficulty connecting this mobile wasteland city with a city like Terra.

In other words, many people still miss the once-destroyed human civilization, or long for that civilization.

It is not only the new humans who feel this way, but also some aboriginal people, so not all aboriginal people will use the term "city building".

Next, the Lord of Osmanthus City continued to talk about the relevant details of this recruitment.

"Let's think about it. Helping to prevent mines is very risky, and we can't make an easy decision. But what I can tell you is that I am very interested."

Finally, Xiang Yang replied.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. If you agree, we can provide you with a map for free."

The Lord of Osmanthus City said: "We have been here recently. If we are not in the trading ground, then we may have entered the ruins. If you wait for a while, we will come out."

"But I won't stay here for a long time, about a month or two."

The Lord of Osmanthus City changed the topic, "You know, unlike ordinary trading venues, Liuli Trading Ground is controlled by Liuli City, so we have to go to other trading venues to recruit."

The Liuli Trading Ground is just over Wolf Ridge. The trading ground controlled by Liuli City was also established for those mineral veins.

Generally, trading venues controlled by a certain city are often named by outsiders directly after that city.

Osmanthus City Lord's words sounded a bit illogical, but in fact it was because it contained some common sense information that she had not mentioned.

That is, when a trading venue is controlled by a certain city, if other cities want to enter, they usually need some conditions.

The most common is to pay some tax, usually based on the length of stay.

In fact, it is also a protection fee, because those who have the ability to control a trading market are basically third-stage cities and have absolute strength.

When a tide of beasts hits the trading floor, they will become organizers, making it easier to resist and thus safer.

When disputes arise between other cities, they will also serve as arbitrators, so the probability of war between two or a large number of cities in the trading venue is almost zero.

Of course, because of disputes in the trading pit, if a war breaks out, most of them will not be fought inside the trading pit, but will be agreed to go to the periphery, unless the cities where the dispute occurs have absolute strength.

After all, fighting in the core area of ​​the trading venue will cause public outrage, and the consequences must be considered.

When there is an absolute leader, it usually brings more orderly aspects, such as transaction security and other benefits.

But after all, you have to pay, so there aren’t that many cities that are willing to come, especially small cities with limited financial resources.

This will cause a disadvantage in terms of the number of cities in these trading venues, especially in terms of food supply. After all, there will be fewer disadvantaged cities willing to stay in the trading venues and farm land in exchange for resources.

These factors will cause the time some cities spend in the trading pit to be shortened, so the number of cities appearing in the trading pit at the same time will decrease again.

Most of the cities recruited to assist in defense will become the main force stationed in such trading venues, because there is no doubt that the recruited cities are employed and do not need to pay taxes.

After all, if you pay money to do things for you, who will come? This is not what the boss does.

Therefore, this kind of trading market usually needs to recruit a relatively large number of cities. Assistance in defense is a major factor, and finding some cities to stay in is also an additional factor.

As an errand city recruiting for Liulicheng, Guihua City needs to go around to various relatively high-end trading venues to recruit continuously, so that they will not stay in the same trading venue for too long.

Trading places like Crocodile Valley and Conch Port are useless.

At least they are at the county level, basically at the county level, or temporary trading places like Xishan Trading Place where a large number of county-level cities come.

………………

After ending the call with Guihua City, Xiang Yang immediately controlled Shenlong City to enter the Xishan Trading Ground, arranged for people to be on guard, and then immediately held a meeting.

Warrior team leaders and above will participate.

"I think the city lord still needs to make the decision on this matter, but I can analyze the pros and cons."

Wu Zhongjun spoke first.

"The benefits are obvious. In terms of resources, we will not have certain types of shortages, and any resources can be obtained relatively easily."

"The energy monsters hunted by the recruiting city are also owned by the recruiting city, so they will also get more additional energy blocks."

"Let's not talk about the technical aspects for now, because any city has certain areas that it specializes in. Liulicheng's technology may not be what we need, but we will have the opportunity to get all kinds of knowledge that we need to know, but it is real."

The city where Wu Zhongjun stayed before also did similar work.

Because they have been stuck at the county level for a long time, they don't know how to enter the third stage, that is, they don't know the upgrade conditions.

Residents of third-stage cities rarely live in second-stage and first-stage cities, and the closed nature of the city results in limitations in the knowledge they obtain.

Therefore, some higher-end information is not known to all cities.

Of course, when upgrading, the knowledge required by the school will only be taught to your own level, so it will not have any impact.

The development of educational facilities such as schools will not limit the upgrading of a city at any time as long as they are not left idle.

They can still buy, there are always some second-stage cities that are aware of it, but ultimately they plan to respond to the recruitment of a metropolitan city.

"The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the risks are extremely high."

"In order to recruit enough cities, the owner of Osmanthus City will definitely keep it simple. She will not tell all the truth, so as not to scare away the recruited cities."

Of course, to put it simply, it is not fabrication, but it is more downplaying the risks and avoiding the important ones.

"If we go over there, we will most likely have to deal with a large number of energy behemoths. Even if the energy behemoths are not high-level, it will be extremely dangerous if there are too many of them."

"Once the number of battles reaches a certain level, it may not be impossible to make mistakes or capsize in the ditch."

"Therefore, I would like to remind the city lord that this risk must be carefully considered."

So far, Shenlong City has been very successful in obtaining energy blocks. Except for the last few trips to the canyon where the bear-like energy monsters were hunted, they basically did not spend much time hunting energy monsters.

They haven't even been to the public hunting grounds of energy behemoths.

Wu Zhongjun was afraid that Xiang Yang had overlooked the danger in this aspect.

The city he stayed in before didn't find a way to enter the third stage in the end because they were almost destroyed midway.

Because of fear, their city lord decided to leave temporarily.

However, just over two years later, they encountered that crisis. They did not die while being recruited, but were overwhelmed by the tide of energy beasts that suddenly appeared from the copy continent.

Things are also unpredictable.

Of course, now that there is Bai Qianxue in Shenlong City, there is no need to worry about the conditions for entering the urban level.

But the knowledge a person knows is limited after all. If you mix with another urban-level city, you will obviously have the opportunity to gain more knowledge.

"The risk is definitely high, there's no doubt about it, but I still recommend going."

Bai Qianxue spoke: "Because this is a way for a city to grow quickly. It can obtain resources, technology and various knowledge in a short period of time. Many super cities I have seen have this experience in their early days."

Of course, this short period of time is not for humans, but for a city.

People measure time in days, but cities measure time in years.

"I also suggest that we go and take a look. Even if we gain some knowledge first, if the risk is too great, we can exit midway." Hongxia said.

The other people didn't speak for the time being.

Whether it is Yu Bin and Gao Hongzhan, who are new humans, or He Peng and Lin Shengguang, who are aboriginal people, they do not understand the matter of helping municipal-level cities to assist defense, and have never even heard of it.

Naturally, I couldn't provide efficient suggestions, so I kept silent and listened to other people's opinions first.

Ruan Shijie agreed with Wu Zhongjun's words. Since this was Xiang Yang's decision, and what Wu Zhongjun emphasized was what he wanted to emphasize, he had already said it, so there was no need for him to say it again.

"Then go and join in the defense."

In fact, Xiang Yang had the same idea as Hongxia. He felt that there was no big loss, at most it was a waste of time.

Being able to get in touch with cities in the third stage is definitely a huge opportunity for new cities like them, which can at least broaden their horizons.

In fact, Xiang Yang also calculated that in terms of resources, they now have no shortage of crystals.

In terms of rare metals, they have a lot of reserves due to the large amount of trophies they obtained and the search for ruins, but even so, the only thing that is not lacking at the moment is gold.

Other rare metals are in short supply.

At the county level, the demand for rare metals is still very large, because there are too many types of rare metals and it is difficult to collect them, but the total amount has basically reached the amount of copper among the three most common metals.

For rare metals, this is a huge amount.

If they had stayed here in Mohe, it would probably take them two or three years to collect them all. But it was different if they went to help with the defense. They could collect these as rewards and collect them all very quickly.

This is probably what Bai Qianxue meant, it can be obtained in a short time.

Everyone else agreed with the decision and had no objections. Wu Zhongjun only analyzed the pros and cons and had no objections. The matter was settled.

But it was obviously not the right time to go to Guihua City, because Xiang Yang did not want the owner of Guihua City to think that they had made this decision easily.

After all, making a decision too quickly can make people think they are motivated and eager to take on the job.

This is not a good thing, and you must leave yourself some room at all times.
