Chapter 183 First Time to Fly Stone
As for the more than a dozen unlucky people who died today, few people care about it now, but don't worry. After the Fourth Legion arrives at the Iron Bridge City, the largest city in the Great Rift Valley, they can be resurrected in full shape.
Three days later, the Fourth Army finally arrived at its destination before the deadline. At the forefront of the Rift Valley, the Flying Stone City, the city, like its name, was built on a huge stone, which was mounted in the middle of the peaks on both sides of the Rift Valley, like a large pot lid.
This is a small town with the deepest reach of the Grand Canyon. Usually, there will not be more than 30,000 players. Similar to the stone furnace, the flying stone city is also mainly mining, but the quality of ore and the number of pits are much worse than the stone furnace, and the surrounding monsters are stronger. The mining and transportation of ore are very dangerous. Therefore, the number of players making a living here is also relatively small.
Ye Liu stood at the highest point of the wall of the flying stone city and looked into the distance. As far as he could see, it was either the gully yellow rocks or the rolling red clouds, which were brought by hell. The landing site of demons will not only come to demon monsters, but also bring these specialty gases from hell.
The first reason why the Fourth Legion chose this small city as its station is its location. There are four fixed landing sites and countless temporary landing areas in the Great Rift Valley. The fixed landing sites are all located in the center of the Great Rift Valley, and Flying Stone City is the closest human city to the center of the Great Rift Valley, such as If the map provided by the Holy See is correct, it is less than 100 kilometers away from the nearest fixed landing site.
So close, Flying Stone City is like a lighthouse in the eyes of demons. After a large number of demons land on the origin, the primary goal must be Flying Stone City. There is no need to take the initiative to search. Sitting in the Stone City, you can wait for the honors to throw themselves into the net. And here guarding two of the four outgoing passages of the Great Rift Valley, the center of an X Canyon,
The more important reason is that the terrain conditions of Flying Stone City are simply the best. If the demons do not have the ability to fly, they can only pass through the narrow passages on both sides of the canyon, which is very narrow for two people to pass side by side, and all of them are within the attack range of Flying Stone City, such as This unique terrain also makes it very easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the consumables and combatants of the Fourth Army do not dry up, they will continue to fight on the terrain.
However, the most important reason is that guarding the Flying Stone City is the best reward of all the optional tasks in the Great Rift Valley War Zone. Since the Fourth Legion has the strength to complete this task, of course, it is impossible to give this fat to others.
There are less than three days left, which is the day of the demon invasion announced by the Holy See. However, the closer to this date, the number and quality of demons encountered by the Fourth Legion have declined significantly. On the day they arrived at the Flying Stone City, not only did not see a single hell visitor along the way, but also no scouts sent around. I found a red-skinned guy.
"This is really abnormal." Sun Bo said that in the temporary headquarters built outside the Flying Stone City, the senior commanders of the Fourth Army sitting in a regiment were a little strange about this phenomenon.
"It's not normal. Anyway, the dinner is coming soon, and this kind of side dish doesn't have much to chew." A Jiang doesn't care much about this.
"Don't worry about this. What we need to do now is to repair the defense facilities of Flying Stone City. Time is running out. We have to hurry up on this matter." This is a major topic of today's meeting.
Previously, the main enemies of Feishi City were some beasts and low-level monsters, rock lizards, mountain leopards, coyotes, and black maned babeas and so on. The highest level is only 50, and they are basically alone. Therefore, in addition to the walls of Feishi City, there are only two layers of stone stacked at the interface between mountain roads and boulders on both sides. Fort.
This kind of inferior building is obviously not strong enough in the face of groups of demons. The Fourth Army needs to push off this bunker and rebuild it, and if there is no accident, more than 10,000 people in the Fourth Army need to stay in Flying Stone City for a very long time. Temporary tents are not suitable for long-term use. Flying Stone As a small town, it is impossible to put down this 10,000 people, so repairing houses is now the top priority of the Fourth Army.
Although there is no architect among the players, the Holy See has prepared this kind of thing. From the small beacon used by two people to the super-giant fortress that can station 200,000 troops, all the drawings have been sold. Because it is now a very time for the whole nation to fight against demons, the price is excellent, and the discount is from 50% to 80%. There are discounts, which can be regarded as making money and helping players a lot.
Cangyue has also made a small amount in the stone furnace recently. Of course, he will not be stingy at this time. Ye Liu waved a large pen and spent a lot of silver coins to buy more than a dozen scrolls, just to use at this moment. In addition to these fortresses used for defense, large war machines are also indispensable. Ten-person crossbows, 20-person crossbows, and stone throwing cannons are of course indispensable. Ye Liu just wants to turn the Flying Stone City into a monster full of thorns.
According to the plan, the Fourth Legion will build five castles and two wing castles with a capacity of 1,000 people on both sides. They are responsible for killing demons who want to break through the blockade of the Fourth Army. Two of them are at the junction of Flying Stone City and the canyons on both sides, which is also all the evil that can't fly. The only way to enter the Flying Stone City will build a bunker that can accommodate 500 people, and a main fortress that can accommodate 20,000 people. This will be the command, training, supply and living center of the Fourth Army.
Originally, the cold front wanted to build a small castle at the mouth of the two canyons outside the flying stone city as a warning and containment of the enemy, but the first scattered the troops, and the fourth army was only 10,000, and the number of reserves was not enough. In addition, there are too many demons. Even if the two castles can contain 10 or even 50 times more demons, they still do not play a good role in the defense of the Flying Stone City itself, so they give up.
As for the materials for building fortresses and defense equipment, the Fourth Army has brought some of the missing stones all over the Grand Canyon. Although there is not much time in three days, there is still no problem in completing the main bodies of several buildings.
Finally, Ye Liu introduced the position and strength of other legions in the Grand Canyon.
"According to the mission announced by the Holy See, there are a total of 15 legions, six old legions and nine new legions in our Great Rift Valley Theater, with a total of about 250,000. Now that we have arrived in the mission area, we have a total of four legions, all of which are old legions.
Although the number of the new legions is twice as large as that of the old legion, the strength is rarely enough to reach this ratio. In fact, most of the new legions is not as good as that of the old legions at all. The reason is that most of the old legions are composed of large and medium-sized knights as the backbone, which were previously held at the martial arts competition. Invited, and then got the priority to be selected by the Holy See, naturally his strength is extraordinary. Such legion personnel, equipment, ranks and officers at all levels are the relatively excellent parts of the origin.
The quality of the new legions with the new number 201 to 400 is very worrying. Most of them are small knights and mercenary regiments as the main members. Many people just barely meet the minimum requirements of the Holy See volunteer legion, and their combat effectiveness is relatively low.
Coupled with the large size of the legion, there are few core groups that each legion has a numerical advantage, and the organization and command are extremely chaotic. Not to mention completing the task, it is very questionable whether all the members can reach the mission site. Of course, there are exceptions, but compared with the general situation, it is not worth discussing.
"These four legions are the 16th Army, the 73rd Army, the 101st Army and the 115th Army respectively. The 16th Army and the 73rd Army arrived a day earlier than us because they are a little closer. Now they have made defensive preparations in Shilin City and Tianzhu City. These two armies have controlled the Big Rift. At the southern exit of the valley, their main force is the Independent Knights, and they have no cooperative relationship with the Hundred War Gods, so they are not enemies.
"The northern exit of the Great Rift Valley Grizzlies is now defending the 115th Army. They are close allies of the Hundred Battles, but they are too far away from us and can't get close to each other, so there is no need to worry too much. Another one that hasn't arrived is the 101st Legion. Their leading troops will rush to the iron before evening. Bridge City, which is their garrison area, if the demons rush out from us, the iron bridge will be the last line of defense. The 115th Legion is composed of five knights, which can also be regarded as an independent knight.
"However, because of the terrain of the Great Rift Valley war zone, it is difficult for the legions divided by the canyon to support each other, provided that these legions are willing to support others, so our main task is to do our own work, try to do a good job in blocking and killing demons, and everyone gets more honors and upgrades." Ye Liu made a concluding speech.
10,000 people, there are many things that can be done in three days, especially the Flying Stone City itself, which has more than 30,000 players, giving full play to these labor, much earlier than planned. Before the arrival of the demon army, most of the four small fortresses are completed, and the main castle on the Flying Stone City can basically be accommodated.
Now the main thing is that the war machine has not been completed, but there is no need to worry about this. These little demons in the early stage do not need these lethal things. Whether it is a crossbow or a catapult, the cost of ammunition is not low, and once the parts are used, they wear out very quickly. Of course, these costs are the best to be on the blade.
The cold front also took advantage of the disappearance of the demon group in the past few days to turn around the whole Flying Stone City, and even ran to the vicinity of the demon landing site. This operation let the Fourth Legion know where the demons had gone.
Almost endless red-skinned demons squeeze the landing site with an area of more than ten square kilometers, and there will still be plane black holes over the landing site from time to time after space overlap. Once these black holes appear, hundreds of demons and thousands of demons will be dropped.
Chen Zhu watched the large group of demons leaning together in the distance, and the meat-like scene couldn't help licking his tongue.
"It would be terrible if this thing rushed together."
Leng Feng nodded, "There are no less than 100,000 here alone. If there is no castle, I'm afraid we will be submerged."
Sun Bo was very excited to see it. "This is a huge amount of experience and honor. Chief Ye is really right. Feishi City is a good place."
This is just a landing site, and the other one is a little farther away than here, but the cold front is not going to go there. "These little guys are not easy to deal with." Although it is not very clear because of the distance, at least half of these demons are crimson elites and leader-level demons, which are much stronger than ordinary monsters. Without the natural danger of Flying Stone City, the cold front would never dare to fight head-on with these guys.
It didn't take long for the smell of strangers to attract the attention of demons gathered together. If they are surrounded by this group of guys, the commanders of the Fourth Army will probably attack. Fortunately, whether it is the Cangyue Knights or the Royal Dragon Knights, these people have mounts.
The horseshoe flew and soon dumped the little demons without a trace.
