Chapter 413 Why is it called a defense tower?
The only territory of the Kingdom of Rand that has not been recovered is the Great Frozen Soil, or it has been deliberately forgotten.
It is difficult to grow food in that place, and it has always been an exiled area. Unlike other areas that have spring, summer, autumn and winter, the permafrost only has winters that are so cold that people can die, and winters that are not that cold.
A group of green men had already occupied this place.
They tried to gather strength and attack the Kingdom of Rand.
At that time, there were several greenskin elites who were very good at disguise. They sneaked into the city of Riven to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, they immediately encountered Linde leading a legion to attack the city.
That war left a deep impression on the greenskins, so they decided to continue hiding and developing in secret.
The subsequent Battle of the Golden Throne made the greenskins realize that what they did was right, and that they should continue to be so despicable.
Then, Scarlet City appeared, and small black markets appeared in the mainland. The greenskins quickly absorbed various powers that could help them.
They didn't even take action when Lind led the expedition to the Great Rift, because at that time there were still a steady stream of undead pouring out of many villages, and the disappearance of Scarlet City did have a significant impact on the greenskins, causing chaos within the group for a while.
Outside the city of Riven, there is a dry forest surrounded by mountains. The rotten trees stand side by side like a cemetery, or like skeletons breaking through the soil, trying to break out of the ground.
The land is charred and shrouded in the shadow of death. The smell of corruption prevents the mutated plants of the new era from growing, and the air is always filled with a pungent stench.
"Are you sure this time?" The voice came from a narrow cellar in the woods.
"It's confirmed. All the undead left for the Black Swamp Kingdom, saying they were going to participate in some expedition. Only some very weak undead were left."
"How did they leave?"
"It looks like a magic teleportation array has been activated."
"If we attack, won't they come back?"
The voice was silent.
The tall figures in the darkness were all thinking with their eyes lowered. Even as greenskins, they knew how terrifying Lind's undead army was. From Star Dragon City to Goliath to the Great Rift, the horrific scale of death scenes had been circling in their minds. If they were not living in this era, they would not even be willing to admit that such a thing would happen.
Decades and hundreds of years ago, the most common story in legends was about one person massacring an entire city.
Now, a city massacre is underway!
"I found someone to buy some information. They said that it costs a lot to open the teleportation array, and it is only open at a fixed time every month. The information transmission is also very slow. The information transmission from the Land Kingdom to the Black Swamp Kingdom can only be transmitted when the portal is open. As long as we can take the opportunity to capture the city and destroy their crystal defense tower, there will be no problem."
"What's that called?"
"Crystal Defense Tower." The person who answered said thoughtfully, "I took a look from a distance, and it doesn't look like a crystal at all. Linde often gives it nonsensical names like this."
The others nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, Linde’s most famous identity was not a duke or a general, but a businessman.
Until now, they have been unable to understand why a black robe with self-cleaning function, a scarf and a small wooden stick can be sold at such a high price.
They also don't understand why a little gadget that none of them knows can be sold at a huge price just by giving it a strange name.
They are all victims. They saved up money with great difficulty and finally bought something that all the undead were scrambling for, but they didn't expect that after getting it, it would only be a weird-looking helmet or a fancy-looking mask.
What is a joker? What's wrong with bat shrimp? What kind of shrimp is a steel shrimp? Is it tastier than a shrimp?
They are both thieves, but why can Kidd, who is dressed in white, be sold at a high price?
The figure who asked the question at the beginning poked his head out of the cellar. From his angle, he could just see the towering walls of Raven City, which seemed to have half of its head touching the sky.
"What about the garrison strength?"
"There are great knights and wizards, but no more than 100 of them."
In the past, such a force might have made the city impregnable, but now... they can easily tear it apart.
"Also, the Lord of Raven City, Win Raven, went to the Black Marsh Kingdom. The Crystal Mage left yesterday, along with Lind Alman and his dragon. Even if Lind could make it here, it would take at least half a day."
Ownerless city!
"God bless us!" the man said, "We should follow God's guidance and clean up the filth of the old times——!"
"Where is the thing you bought before?"
"That very precious signal transmitter?"
They had close black market trade with the Kingdom of Rand. Whatever special magic alchemy items Lind used in every battle would appear on their shopping list the next day.
I believe Lind would never have imagined that the kingdom he thought was impregnable was actually already riddled with holes.
……
Doraemon stretched without looking at his crotch.
She had only caught up with the tail end of the Great Rift and basically got nothing good. She also did not catch up with the war to the Black Swamp Kingdom afterwards.
It's not that she can't afford to go, but her gaming guild must have someone stationed there, and she can't accept missions in the Black Swamp Kingdom. This is the downside of expeditions.
Therefore, someone must stay in the local area. When the daily tasks are updated in the Lion Badge, the members who stay in the local area can claim them in advance. Many tasks will take a very long time.
For example, materials.
The undead who stay in the base camp can receive material tasks in advance, and then tell their teammates through the wireless communication friend system. Teammates can complete various tasks while opening up the land, which greatly increases efficiency.
Now that Doraemon is not staring at her crotch, she is equivalent to the guild’s own poster girl.
It also has a lot to do with the fact that she is a cute girl anchor. She doesn't have much fighting power anyway, so she can just act cute, broadcast live to her teammates in the guild, and dance. Isn't that pretty good?
Her house was in the Snake Catcher's Fortress, but the guild had also set up a base in Raven City, so she usually stayed in the guild most of the time, and only went back when free teleportation was available to buy some new furniture and decorate her own little house.
The majority of the people are undead who love to decorate their own huts.
"Good morning, Grandma Ruili~" Doraemon happily greeted the NPC grandma who opened a bakery on the roadside.
The undead's previous market rectification almost drove the NPCs to a dead end. As a large number of undead went to the front line to open up new areas, the NPCs also learned the working methods of the undead.
Bakeries, candy stores, coffee shops, etc. all continue to operate.
There are even undead people who secretly become bosses and let NPCs open shops and work for them.
The undead who are eligible for recruitment are the first to do this, making NPCs work and earn money in a legal way.
The kingdom chose to turn a blind eye to this situation, as long as it did not squeeze the living space of ordinary people, and the undead would actively provide various raw materials and pay taxes on time.
Without even looking around, Doraemon discovered that several stores had started using the membership points card model, offering a 100 RMB bonus for a 120 RMB deposit, and some even went so far as to have pretty NPC ladies holding signs outside to solicit customers.
In short, various ways of playing in the real world began to invade this world, making this world become outrageous.
She bought a cup of milk tea and drank it while doing the live broadcast.
“Does anyone know who owns this store?”
I didn’t expect that in the real world, I dared not eat anything for fear of getting fat, but I would become a store exploration host here.
Or maybe it’s because the food and drinks are so cheap, and the recipes are all from the real world.
As long as the production process is not too complicated or certain additives that are not available for purchase are used, anyone can replicate it in minutes, and there are even various tutorials on the Internet.
The most interesting thing is that some people choose to practice cooking and making pastries in the game, and then when they return to the real world they find that they can actually make them.
Humming a song and even performing a bit under request, Doraemon was rewarded for not looking at his crotch and immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, boss, you are so generous!"
Oh, I can make money while lying down and even extend my life invisibly. This kind of life is so wonderful.
Suddenly she realized something was wrong and found that dozens of soldiers suddenly appeared on the street.
They rushed towards the city wall with weapons raised and serious expressions.
"what happened?"
Tinker Bell looked at the gate of Raven City and found that the gate was closed, and there was a wizard casting magic to solidify the gate.
The undead people who were watching the live broadcast at the same time immediately posted comments.
"Is there a plot?"
"I'll go up to the city wall!"
"What the hell, why is there a plot all of a sudden? This game is too random."
The barrage of comments filled the screen, especially the undead who were stealing at the front line of the Black Swamp Kingdom. They spent a lot of money to come to the front line, and then turned around to find that the plot was actually happening behind them. Is it too late to teleport back now?
Without looking at her crotch, Tinker Bell immediately rushed towards the city wall. The flashing light of the lion emblem on her chest represented her identity, allowing her to climb the city wall as a temporary defender without being stopped.
There were two newbies who had just arrived at Raven City nearby. They were stopped because they were not even trainee soldiers.
The towering city walls make it seem as if the sky is within reach when you look up.
I lowered my head and it seemed as if something as small as an ant was approaching the horizon at the end of my sight.
Suddenly a dazzling light rushed into the sky.
When Doraemon looked up without looking at his crotch, he saw a dazzling beam of light blooming in the distant sky, so hot that it seemed to melt his sight.
Barrage: "Isn't this the cloud-piercing arrow that Miss Miko fired at Morpheus' Gate?"
Barrage: "Holy crap, it's actually a large-scale battle? What did I miss?"
Barrage: "Don't worry, let's wait and see. I always feel that it shouldn't be that serious. More than 90% of us are not in the Rand Kingdom now. There is no reason to start the plot directly."
Comment: "This is the nature of the game. During the internal test, many novice villages were still fine, but after I came back, some of them disappeared from the map!"
An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you.
When Miss Micko was released, many undead wanted to buy it, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow soon appeared on the stalls in the small market in Black Hoof Village, but the price was so high that it made people's testicles ache.
I didn't expect it to be bought by the enemy.
The energy ignited by the spark of fire was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the soldiers of Raven City.
When the beam of light was completely ignited with a loud bang, making the entire day as dark as a streak of needles and impossible to see directly, something like a swarm of ants in the distance finally approached.
They roared like a raging flame sweeping across the hills, and the sound of their feet stomping on the ground was rumbling and echoing, and the land seemed to be burned into scorched earth by their scorching charge.
They came with the momentum to destroy everything in front of them and directly destroy the walls of Riven City with a rampage.
Closer.
There are thousands of great knights!
Green and lush.
"Greenskin?" Tinker Bell was a little panicked if she didn't look at her crotch. She quickly turned her head to look beside her, but there were no undead teammates. Almost all of them were NPCs, and they were not NPCs of the Land Corps. They were just Riven soldiers, so their combat effectiveness was naturally much worse.
There was a red name floating in the distance, and on our side... I was actually the one with the highest level!
Spicy balls!
Doraemon didn't look at her crotch and tried her best to calm herself down. She never thought that she was just an ordinary person in the game, but just because of her level 30, she had become the strongest force in this battle.
She knew that Lin De had just left on his flying dragon.
The Crystal Mage has already rushed to the front line. This is the news from teammates.
Win had killed Ostis not long ago.
Who can turn the tide?
Barrage: "I understand! This is the plot!"
Tinker Bell asked without looking at his crotch: "I also know that it is a plot, but the problem is that they have already come to kill us, and it is a surprise attack."
Barrage: "Look behind you!"
Tinker Bell didn't look at his crotch in confusion, but turned around anyway: "Behind you?"
Then she slowly opened her mouth.
The barrage of comments began to flood the screen like crazy.
"Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Fuck me!" "Oh my god!" "Fifth Apostle!" "Remiel!"
Raven City was gradually shrouded in shadow. All the residents of Raven City, and even the greenskins who were charging madly outside, could see the changes at this moment.
A huge magic alchemy building floated into the air, occupying the sight.
And people can only look up, and look up hard, to barely bring it into their sight.
Such a huge thing is actually the teleportation building that the undead people have always called the "Crystal Defense Tower".
Some people also call it a signal base station, electric tower, or pyramid.
However, when the building that occupied their sight rose into the sky, stirred up the clouds in the sky, and quickly gathered into a funnel-shaped thundercloud, the onlookers were left with only shock in their hearts.
Thunder roared, and the air seemed to begin burning.
The thunder that rolled out from the dark clouds sounded like the roar of a dragon king, making everyone who saw this scene subconsciously think of the battle with Goliath when the dragon king Kurt was invincible with thunder in his hand.
In that war, the undead could not get close, and Lind barely held on with his thick blood. The war lasted for a long time, the ground was completely turned into scorched earth, and the buildings were reduced to ashes in a moment.
And at this moment, the thunderclouds reappeared.
Barrage: "The name is not wrong, what is this thing called?"
The high-temperature thunder seemed like a lit fuse. It emerged from the twisting funnel cloud and plunged into the greenskin charge army composed entirely of great knights.
The scorching heat swept through the greenskin army in an instant, blasting a huge pit in it, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and the smell of meat filling the air.
Flashes of thunder danced wildly in the clouds, while bolts of lightning fell one after another.
No greenskin could escape.
This is the legal force and thunder power from the Kingdom of Rand. The undead who were great knights were easily destroyed before they could even get close. Now, the greenskins who are also great knights, even if they are stronger, what can they do? Only death awaits them.
Flesh, blood, rocks, and high-quality armor that had been bought at great expense from the undead and the black market, exploded instantly or melted and distorted directly after being struck by lightning.
The charging greenskins turned into dust, and the thunder that swept across the ground layer by layer like an iron rake ravaged the battlefield outside Riven City in the most manic way.
The greenskins could only dodge quickly and try to find cover in this open area.
Dig a pit or hide behind the corpses of your own kind.
The greenskin leader who was in charge of this charge had a completely green face.
The thunder that raged like a storm enveloped the entire battlefield. The strong greenskins, who could continue to fight without fear of death even if their arms were broken, were now like poor ants and could only shiver in the storm.
He finally remembered what he had missed when he was planning this attack.
That thing is called a crystal defense tower.
The crystal is not the point, defense is the point!
His palm tightly grasped the weapon, which was a precious weapon that the undead "reluctantly" sold. He paid a high price for it and could even buy two alchemical bombs.
Its function is to swing out a piece of frost, and enemies that the blade touches or collides with will also be affected.
What a powerful and terrifying force.
But now he could only huddle here, not daring to move. His knuckles turned color from gripping the weapon too tightly, and his eyes were filled with fear of the vortex of thunder and mincing flesh ahead.
For this he could only pray to the god of the sea, over and over again.
The terrifying thunder showed no sign of stopping, so he could only listen to the roar of the thunder and the wailing of his fellow tribesmen and endure it with difficulty.
The temperature around him began to rise at an inopportune time. The dense thunder that swept across the area raised the temperature so much that he could feel the unbearable heat just by breathing.
Sweat began to pour down his face. He knew that he might die, and die directly on the battlefield affected by the high temperature, like a crab steamed into a red skin.
But the thunder suddenly disappeared and heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
"It's over?" He was surprised.
He knew he had escaped a disaster.
But when he stood up, he only saw the open gate of Raven City in the distance.
Those people are going to start cleaning up the battlefield!
