Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

After the game restarted, both the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Condor Empire immediately took action.

On the side of the Northern Expedition Alliance, the flag of Zoyu appeared for the first time in front of Taiping Town where the fierce battle between the Northern Expedition Alliance Army and the Dashi Kingdom was raging. A Northern Expedition Alliance envoy responsible for negotiations soon entered Taiping Town along the passage left by the bear warriors.

After half a day, the envoy team walked out of Taiping Town, and then the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces began a large-scale retreat.

A week later, all the Northern Expedition troops on the east bank of the Grand Canal withdrew to the west bank.

Another week later, all the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces withdrew from the Heze area.

With the return of the Orc Legion from the Dashi Kingdom to Heze, the border between the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom has returned to its original state.

...

The next day after the game restarted, nearly 100,000 owl troops appeared in the Wuhan area, and soon after, a large number of armies appeared there one after another.

As more and more troops gathered near the two cities of Hankou and Wuchang, the Shenying Navy located in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River had to temporarily evacuate there. While they sent people to closely monitor the enemy's movements in the Wuhan area, they rushed to Ningyuan. report.

In the virgin forest on the border between Vietnam County and Guangxi, with the arrival of the enemy and our player legions, the war soon began to burn.

Since the Condor Empire adopts the tactic of waiting for work and waiting for the rabbit, all the player mercenaries hired by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance have traveled long distances and are exhausted physically and mentally.

Therefore, in the early stages of the battle, the players on the side of the Condor Empire basically had the advantage. With their numerical and physical advantages, they successfully killed many enemy players.

However, as many expert players arrived one after another, the situation on the battlefield began to become more and more anxious. Every day, many players were killed on both sides of the enemy.

Although the player mercenaries of the Northern Expedition Alliance have never been able to break through the jungle defense line of the Condor Empire, many players who came to make money have tasted huge benefits.

Every time a player warrior from the Condor Empire is killed, they will receive a reward of 200 copper coins. For some player mercenaries with extraordinary skills, this is absolutely no different from picking up money.

According to news from the Adventurer World, a human player with excellent archery skills sniped and killed fifty-three players from the Condor Empire in one day, and obtained a total of 10,600 copper coins, which is equivalent to 10,600 earth coins. .

Although this human player was eventually killed by players from the Condor Empire because his arrows shot out, he had already made a lot of money.

It is said that after his rebirth, he immediately spent a high price to buy an Elf race transformation scroll. After raising all attributes to full value, he would immediately rush to the front line to harvest heads.

The power of role models is infinite. After seeing someone successfully earn the first pot of gold, many skilled Lone Ranger players have teleported to Guangxi from the Adventurer World. They also want to use their superb skills to to make a war fortune.

Among the Lone Ranger players who come to Guangxi, the most expert players use bows and arrows.

Because in the dense tropical rain forest, sneak attacks with bows and arrows cost the least and achieve the greatest results.

As long as players hide well, shoot accurately, and bring enough arrows, they can basically make a small fortune.

Although there are many masters among the players who join the Condor Empire,

But most of those masters have now joined the Tenglong Army.

There are still some good players among the remaining players, but not many are good at using bows.

Therefore, after facing the cold arrows flying everywhere in the jungle, the casualties of players in the Condor Empire began to increase rapidly.

The mercenaries of players on the Northern Expedition Alliance side originally planned to make a fortune quickly by killing villages. However, as players on the side of the Condor Empire fought a war of attrition with them on the edge of the jungle, their targets soon focused on the Condor Empire. on the player army.

The number of aboriginal people in a village is limited. After killing all the people in the village, they have to work hard to find the next village.

And those aboriginal people are not fools. They will stand there waiting for them to kill. It is estimated that those people will abandon the village and flee as soon as they hear any disturbance.

If they are unlucky, an empty village may be waiting for them.

The defense line deployed by the Condor Empire player army on the edge of the jungle is different.

Whenever the number of player soldiers on the defense line is significantly reduced, the Condor Empire will quickly add a new batch of player troops.

In order to prevent them from rushing out of the jungle, the players on the side of the Condor Empire fought hard to fight off their attacks one after another.

Originally, they were still troubled by the inability to break through the player defense lines deployed by the Condor Empire. However, with the emergence of more and more bow masters, many players now began to hope that this state could be maintained for a long time.

Because the closer the Condor Empire's defense line is to Guangxi, the shorter the time for them to rush back to the battlefield. As a result, the higher the efficiency of their harvesting of heads.

Originally, player mercenaries harvested heads based on their own abilities, but as more and more bow masters appeared, those players who only knew how to fight in close combat immediately stopped doing it.

Since their own shooting skills are very poor, every time they want to hunt down an enemy player, they have to rush over and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

In hand-to-hand combat, swords have no eyes. If they are not particularly powerful, players who can harvest one or two heads are basically considered masters, because there are many players who have died before harvesting heads.

Originally, this was a normal situation. On the battlefield, you would kill me, and I would kill you.

However, as more and more bow-wielding players followed them and fired cold arrows to steal their battle achievements, those players who only knew how to fight in close combat suddenly felt unbalanced.

Why are they working so hard at the front, while those guys are picking up what's already available at the back?

As more and more players had this idea, the player mercenaries on the Northern Expedition Alliance side suddenly started fighting among themselves.

Melee players have found those bow-wielding players who only follow them to take advantage, and demand that they must give half of their battle merit to them, otherwise they will not be allowed to follow behind them.

Faced with such unreasonable demands from melee players, it was certainly impossible for the lone rangers who used bows to agree, so when they disagreed, they started fighting themselves.

Facing the encirclement and suppression by their own people, those master archers were unable to defeat the four-handed archers with their fists. After being sent back to the adventurer world by their own people, they had no choice but to give in.

So countless hunting combinations soon appeared in the jungle.

A group of melee players holding shields were responsible for attracting the attention of the Eagle Empire players in front, while a group of archers followed behind them and kept shooting cold arrows.

In addition to helping the bow players lure the enemy into action, melee players are also responsible for helping everyone carry arrows and food and supplies to the front line after they die in battle.

As this hunting organization that combined both near and far gradually took shape, the number of players killed in the Condor Empire soared again. As a last resort, Ning Yuan could only order Zhao Gang to recruit troops again.

...

The Seraph scouts of the Condor Empire are all over China. As long as there is any large-scale operation, it will never escape their eyes.

Soon, the news that the Northern Expeditionary Alliance had negotiated a peace with the Dashi Kingdom and withdrawn their troops, as well as the news that the Northern Expeditionary Alliance had begun building cities in Hankou and Wuchang, reached Ningyuan's ears.

Ning Yuan was shocked when he heard that the Northern Expeditionary Alliance not only signed an armistice agreement with the Dashi Kingdom, but also returned the occupied Heze area to the Dashi Kingdom.

Comparing his feelings with his own, if Ning Yuan paid such a high price, then he would never be able to negotiate peace with the Dashi Kingdom.

Even if he had to negotiate a truce with the Dashi Kingdom due to the situation, he would only retreat to the west bank of the Grand Canal and would never return the Heze area that he had finally conquered to the Dashi Kingdom.

Now that the Northern Expedition Alliance is acting like this, Ning Yuan cannot help but suspect that there is no conspiracy.

But no matter how hard Ning Yuan thought, he couldn't figure out what the Northern Expedition Alliance's conspiracy was, because now the Northern Expedition Alliance belongs to the defensive side, and they simply have no ability to counterattack the area north of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, as long as the Condor Army does not take the initiative to attack, the Northern Expedition Alliance will not be able to defeat the Condor Army at all.

"Come here, please immediately prepare a decree and give it to Bai Shihai and Xiong Ba, asking them to hurry up and prepare winter strategies. I heard that this winter will be very cold."

After racking his brains and unable to think of the enemy's conspiracy, Ning Yuan simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there were only a few months until he formulated the winter strategy. By then, all the conspiracies and tricks would be in vain in the face of absolute strength. , it breaks when touched.

After putting aside the affairs of the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom, Ning Yuan immediately set his sights on the Wuhan area where the enemy had gathered heavy troops.

After staring at the two cities of Hankou and Wuchang that were getting closer and closer for a long time, Ning Yuan sighed: "This guy wants to build the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in the game!"

Ning Yuan felt a little pain in his head when he thought that the two piers of the Colorful Bridge (Yin Shu and Yang Shu) were located in the two cities near the river.

The reason why the Shenying Army was able to easily destroy the Colorful Bridge between Hunan and Hubei last time was mainly because the enemy had limited troops deployed on both sides, and there were no defense facilities around Yangshu and Yinshu.

Therefore, the mermaid army that launched the assault on the Colorful Bridge were able to quickly chop down two ancient trees after defeating the defenders on the shore.

Now the enemy has obviously learned the lesson from before. In order to protect the two bridge piers, they actually thought of using city walls to encircle the bridge piers into the city. This is definitely a genius idea!

Although doing this would not only require a large number of troops, but also consume a lot of manpower and resources, once the city is built and the Colorful Bridge is formed, it will not be that easy to destroy the Colorful Bridge with its piers located in the city.

If you want to destroy the Colorful Bridge, you must first conquer a city, otherwise you can only look at the bridge and sigh.

And how easy is it to break through a city that is located in the enemy's hinterland and heavily guarded?

Therefore, there is a high probability that the enemy can re-open the connection between the north and south sides of the Yangtze River through this colorful bridge.

Originally, Ning Yuan wanted to let the Condor Navy harass the enemy for a while while they were building a city, trying to add some obstruction to the enemy and slow down the speed of the enemy's city building.

However, after learning in detail about the enemy's troop deployment and weapons and equipment in the Wuhan area, Ning Yuan decisively gave up this idea.

In order to build this bridge, the Northern Expedition Alliance not only deployed heavy troops in the Wuhan area, but also assembled a large number of trebuchets near the river bank.

Although the Condor Navy's magic warships also have trebuchets, they are clearly inferior in number, so it is simply unrealistic to use trebuchets to harass the enemy and build a city.

In order to build this colorful bridge, the Northern Expedition Alliance is now determined.

Unless Ning Yuan transferred a large number of land forces through the fleet and launched a frontal attack on the enemy's heavily guarded Wuhan area, he could only watch the Northern Expedition Alliance build cities and bridges there.

After considering the huge cost of launching an attack relying solely on the Yangtze River waterway, Ning Yuan could only acquiesce to the enemy's actions and set his sights on the virgin forest battlefield on the Vietnam border.

The situation on the battlefield in the primeval forest is now frighteningly stable. Not only is Ningyuan troubled by the situation there, but even the Northern Expedition Alliance, the initiator, is also having a huge headache.

After seeing the huge benefits, the player mercenaries on the Northern Expedition Alliance no longer want to break through the defense lines of the Condor Empire players. They now only want to hunt in the jungle those Condor Empire players who stop them. .

As long as there are enough Condor Empire players ahead for them to hunt, they don't care at all how harsh the environment in the jungle is.

Because compared with the money rushing into the account, those difficulties are not worth mentioning at all.

Now the group of player mercenaries who are jealous of money have already become red-eyed. If anyone dares to cut off their wealth, they will fight to the death.

As a defender, Ning Yuan did not dare to let in such a group of red-eyed players, so he could only continuously increase troops to the frontline areas to satisfy the hunting desire of those player mercenaries.

Although this will put more and more logistical pressure on Ningyuan, Ningyuan can still accept the extra cost of food and supplies compared to the enemy breaking through and causing damage.

Ning Yuan can reluctantly accept this situation, but the Northern Expedition Alliance absolutely cannot.

When the Northern Expedition Alliance discovered that all the player mercenaries were stagnant in the virgin forest, they immediately changed the previous employment rewards.

In order to stimulate those players who want to make war fortune and let them fight towards the hinterland of Vietnam County, the Northern Expedition Alliance directly reduced the reward for killing the Condor Empire players to twenty copper coins per head, and reduced the reward for killing the aboriginal people to 20 copper coins per head. The reward was increased to three hundred copper coins per head.

Although the change in employment remuneration caused dissatisfaction among many players, as the employer, the Northern Expedition Alliance has the right to change the remuneration.

If players want to get this bounty by hunting heads, they must comply with all arrangements of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

After realizing that hunting players was no longer good, the player mercenaries of the Northern Expedition Alliance all turned into crazy tigers and leopards overnight. They desperately attacked the defense line of the Eagle Empire players, trying to break through and get the high amount. bounty.

At the same time, Ning Yuan can only continue to expand the scale of conscription and use the lives of players to resist the enemy's attack.

As a result, this war between players has become more and more intense. The Northern Expedition Alliance has lost money, while the Condor Empire has lost food and supplies. The final result may depend on which side fails to hold on first.
