Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Watch in half an hour

"Send my military order and the entire army will immediately withdraw to Babao Town."

After wiping the rain off his face, Dongfang Ming gave the order with difficulty for the entire army to retreat.

Although there were still millions of troops on the river bank at this time, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army's army was still there.

But whether they were indigenous soldiers or players, their faces were full of confusion and panic, and their morale fell to the bottom in an instant.

An army without any fighting spirit and will to fight, no matter how large it is, is no longer suitable for participating in battles.

If they were forced to join the war, the result would probably be to deliver food to the other party.

After all, without the desire to fight, they might not be able to exert even half of their usual strength.

The best way at this time is to immediately take them to a safe place, and then find a way to relieve them and help them get out of the shadow of depression.

In order to prevent the Shenying Army from pursuing the victory, Dongfang Ming directly abandoned the Mishi Town base located in the rear and had the army withdraw to Babao Town, which was further away from Jingzhou.

...

Looking at the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces retreating in droves on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Ning Yuan did not choose to order a pursuit. He continued to let the Mermaid Corps stay in the Yangtze River to salvage the fallen soldiers and somersault clouds.

In terms of the result of this battle, the Condor Army could be regarded as a final victory, but in terms of the process, they could only be regarded as repelling an attack by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance.

Although the flying corps of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was almost completely wiped out in this battle, their army was still intact.

Moreover, only the Flying Legion of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance in the Jingzhou Theater was wiped out. They still had the fully-organized Somersault Cloud Corps and the Owl Corps in the other two theaters.

Therefore, the crisis in the Jingzhou area has not been completely resolved, because the Northern Expeditionary Alliance only needs to complete a major integration before they can still have the power to fight.

As a defensive side, withstanding the enemy's fierce attack can only be regarded as a small victory, because the Condor Army also paid a heavy price for this.

As the main force of this defense, the Tenglong Army never rested from beginning to end. They were always at the forefront. Wherever there was fighting, they were there.

Before the war started, there were still 350,000 Tenglong troops in Jingzhou.

After the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces withdrew and the salvage work was completed, there were less than 80,000 Tenglong Army players left around Ning Yuan.

Although the downpour tactic directly dealt a fatal blow to the flying legion of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, the heavy rain did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. The Tenglong Army, which was only thirty meters away from the enemy, was forced to withstand the full power of the heavy rain.

In addition, when some of the enemies in front saw that there was no hope of escape, many people launched a desperate charge before dying. They rushed to the front of the Tenglong Army, and fell into the river together with the Tenglong Army.

Although the Yangtze River was filled with mermaid warriors responsible for rescuing people who fell into the water, there were too many people who fell into the water in a very short period of time, and the mermaid warriors were powerless.

Therefore, the downpour tactics used by Ning Yuan this time not only wiped out the enemy's entire flying legion, but also killed many of his own Tenglong Army players. It can be said that he killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

...

"Boss, the mermaid army has completed all the salvage work. This time we are prosperous. We have salvaged a total of 150,000 somersault clouds."

Just when Ning Yuan was sitting alone on the bridge silently summarizing the gains and losses after the war, Li Jun found Ning Yuan with excitement and brought him good news.

Ning Yuan was immediately overjoyed when he heard that the mermaid army had salvaged 150,000 somersault clouds. He stood up directly and said to Li Jun: "Let's go and see what's so magical about these somersault clouds."

Seeing Ning Yuan's impatient look, Li Jun smiled mischievously and said, "Boss, what do you think this is?"

After saying that, Li Jun took out a small cloud as white as marshmallow from behind.

After grabbing the somersault cloud from Li Jun's hand, Ning Yuan immediately started watching excitedly.

Somersault cloud:

An extremely rare gaseous (water) monster, named after its shape like a cloud.

Somersault clouds have no autonomous consciousness and can only move from top to bottom, or follow the direction of the wind. They are not bound by low-altitude flight.

Somersault Cloud can freely expand or shrink its body. After the body becomes larger, the somersault cloud can rise to high altitudes with the help of the buoyancy of the air; after the body becomes smaller, the somersault cloud will fall gently to the ground by virtue of the reduced buoyancy.

The somersault cloud is immune to all physical attacks and is only afraid of fire attacks. After being attacked by fire attacks, the somersault cloud will gradually become smaller until it is completely liquefied.

When hit by physical matter, the somersault cloud will suddenly disperse and temporarily lose its manned capability.

Somersault Cloud has two life forms.

The first life form is the ordinary form.

The Somersault Cloud in its normal form can only carry one person weighing no more than 100 kilograms into the sky. This life must be the current owner of the Somersault Cloud.

The second life form is the advanced form.

In its advanced form, the Somersault Cloud has extremely strong carrying capacity, resistance to blows, and wind resistance.

In addition to the current owner of the Somersault Cloud, the Somersault Cloud can also carry other life forms of no more than 500 kilograms to 900 kilograms.

After advancing to the second life form, Somersault Cloud will no longer lose its manned capacity due to physical attacks, and it can also resist winds of level five or below.

To advance from the first life form to the second life form, Somersault Cloud needs to absorb water magic crystals, ice magic crystals and earth magic crystals in a ratio of 1:1:1 at the same time. The specific quantity and advancement time are determined by the quality of Somersault Cloud. Decide.

...

Hiss~~~

After reading the specific attributes of Somersault Cloud, Ning Yuan took a breath of cold air.

At this time, he was both excited and a little scared.

What was exciting was that the attributes of Somersault Cloud did not disappoint him.

Although the conditions for use of somersault clouds are very harsh. They cannot be used in rainy days or strong winds. In addition, they also have many weaknesses, but that is only because they have not yet advanced to the second life form.

The Somersault Cloud in its second life form can not only carry more people, but also has the ability to withstand strong winds below level five, and is no longer afraid of substantial physical attacks.

In addition to still being afraid of fire attacks, the second form of the somersault cloud has been approaching perfection.

What I'm afraid of is that the guy who was kicked out of Huaguoshan Guild didn't tell him the secret that Somersault Cloud has two life forms.

Fortunately, the second life form of somersault clouds has not yet appeared in Huaguoshan, otherwise the downpour tactic that he formulated would definitely be self-defeating.

Wait, something seems wrong.

Water-washed, ice-type and earth-type magic crystals are not rare things. Why, after so many years, has Huaguo Mountain still not been able to cultivate somersault clouds as a second life form?

After discovering that something was wrong, Ning Yuan immediately looked at Li Jun and asked: "Li Jun, compared with the first life form, the second life form of this Somersault Cloud is so perfect, why don't you think Sun Xiaosheng will cultivate it?

The three streams of magic crystals of earth, water and ice are not rare things. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely buy them. I don't believe that Huaguoshan doesn't even have the money to buy some magic crystals.

Where do you think this problem occurs? "

Looking at Ning Yuan who looked confused, Li Jun scratched his neck and replied: "Boss, I have been thinking about this issue on the way to you with the somersault cloud.

I don't know if you noticed it.

The last sentence of the introduction to the attributes of the Somersault Cloud is 'The specific quantity and advancement time are determined by the quality of the Somersault Cloud'.

Although this somersault cloud is a gaseous life form without autonomous consciousness, it is classified into the category of Warcraft after all, so I guess they must have their own growth cycle.

Take monsters such as tigers and leopards as an example. It takes at least five or six years for them to grow from cubs to full maturity. This means that we must raise them for five or six years before they can have combat effectiveness.

Since somersault clouds also belong to the Warcraft category, they must also have their own growth cycle.

Just now, I kept guessing that the second life form of this somersault cloud must be a fully mature body similar to the tiger and leopard monster.

As long as tiger and leopard monsters have enough fresh meat to eat, they can grow up quickly and reach adult size earlier.

The introduction to the properties of somersault clouds states that they mainly rely on absorbing nearby water vapor to feed. As long as there is sufficient water vapor, they can continue to grow.

But the later introduction also said that if it wants to advance to the second life form, it must absorb the magic crystals of ice, water, and earth in a ratio of 1:1:1. Isn't this contradictory?

I can still understand ice and water magic crystals, after all, their essence is still the water element.

But what's going on with the earth magic crystal?

Why does the somersault cloud need to absorb earth magic crystals to advance?

On the way to find you, I have been thinking about this problem. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I rack my brain, I can never figure it out. "

After saying that, Li Jun helplessly spread his hands to Ningyuan, saying that he couldn't figure it out either.

After listening to Li Jun's answer that was half explanation and half question, a light suddenly flashed in the depths of Ning Yuan's mind.

After catching that spiritual light, Ning Yuan's thoughts were opened up.

He looked at Li Jun and said, "Li Jun, I just thought of a possibility. I don't know if it's right or not. Please listen carefully and then help me analyze it."

"Boss, tell me."

"That's right, you just mentioned that Somersault Cloud also belongs to the Warcraft, and it also has its own growth cycle like the Tiger and Leopard Warcraft.

Following your idea, I thought of a possibility, which is that organisms will evolve in different directions according to their environment and needs.

Li Jun, have you ever heard of a shark called the Greenland sleeper shark? "

"Never heard of it." Li Jun shook his head.

"The Greenland sleeper shark is a very slow-moving vertebrate with an extremely long growth cycle and is also the longest-lived vertebrate.

It is said that this shark only grows one centimeter per year and takes 156 years to reach a mature body length of 4 meters, which means that they need to wait a century and a half before they can start looking for a mate to reproduce.

Although this kind of shark has its own ideology, it always looks muddleheaded and seems to be sleeping forever, so people call them sleeping sharks.

Would you say that the somersault cloud's lack of ideology is very similar to the Greenland sleeping shark that is always sleeping in reality? "

Ning Yuan looked at Li Jun with bright eyes, as if he had already understood the essence of Huaguo Mountain's failure to cultivate the second life form Somersault Cloud.

The people in the territory worked enthusiastically every day. Apart from inspecting the progress of the project, Zhang Wei spent the rest of his time refining elixirs.

In the game, Zhang Wei is very busy, but in reality, he is not idle either. He pays close attention to the city-building progress of the big forces at home and abroad by browsing the forum.

Everyone knows that the first place awarded by the system will receive generous rewards, and those lords will do anything to compete for the first city in the world.

There is a naked competitive relationship between all the lords. If you want to win the first place, you not only need your own efforts, but also create some trouble for your opponents and slow down their city construction progress. Only in this way can you be invincible. place.

In terms of strength, the players cannot compare with the aboriginals, but in terms of stumbling and underhanded tricks, the players can beat the aboriginals by ten blocks. After all, the players have thousands of years of historical knowledge, and the vision of modern people is much greater than that of the aborigines. The ancients were much, much broader.

What is the most important thing for players to build a city? Are there three types of buildings that must be built? Obviously not. The most important thing for players is the person who can preside over the construction of these three types of buildings. Yes, they are senior architects.

Even though many forces are strictly guarding against their senior architects, many senior architects of many forces have been successfully assassinated. In order to hinder the speed of city construction of their opponents, those hostile forces do not hesitate to expose some important chess pieces that they have planted in the other party's forces.

The player architect is fine, but we have to start all over again. Those lords who hired aboriginal architects are in bad luck. Not only do they have to compensate their families a large amount of pensions, but their credibility among the aborigines has plummeted. If they continue to hire senior architects, they will have to pay a higher price.

In addition to senior architects, space ore is another problem for players to build a city. Since it cannot be transported through the teleportation array, the teams sent by the lords to buy space ore can only rely on manpower to transport the ore back to the territory, which gives others some valuable resources. Take advantage of the opportunity.

At first, a few smart lords hired some bandit players to rob the ore transport teams, and then bought the ore from the bandits at the market price. The bandits not only earned the hiring fee, but also sold the ore. , it’s simply a huge profit.

Looting space ore suddenly became a hugely profitable industry, so more and more players got involved. They formed large and small teams and robbed ore transport teams everywhere. Some players even directly interacted with the aborigines who sold the ore. Collusion, after the robbery was successful, all the ores were sold back to the aborigines at a 20% discount, and then the aborigines continued to sell, and they continued to rob, forming a complete industrial chain.
