The dark invasion is coming.
But the countries in the Continent of the Gods are no longer as unprepared as they once were.
Because in the five years of the last version, the small duchys have basically been annexed by the grand duchy, and the strongest people in the grand duchy are also epic professionals, and they know a lot of things.
Now the Grand Duchy has not only prepared various military supplies, artillery, trebuchets, and heavy crossbows have also been placed on the city wall, but now it is actively looking for mercenaries to help defend the city.
This way.
The entire mercenary market in Legend Continent became lively.
But the only one that takes the lead is City of Dawn, because it has nearly one million regular troops under its command, and the number of players has reached 3.8 million!
They can all be hired, but the price of hiring regular soldiers is relatively high.
But with the Dawn City's numerous military exploits in the war against the Orc Empire, these achievements are enough to make many small principalities look up to them. If they can hire 100,000 Dawn regular troops, they will definitely ensure that the country is worry-free.
Fortunately, Dawn City also has the Legion of Chosen Ones. This group of immortal Chosen Ones are not only cheap and have good combat effectiveness, but more importantly, they also have a heart that dares to kill and die.
They are a group of undead legions who have no sympathy. If the regular army of Raising the Dawn is too expensive, then hiring players is the right choice.
Next is Paul Bain’s Eastern Region Mercenary Alliance, plus the Northern Region’s Extreme Cold Corps.
But the soldiers in their mercenary group are all normal people and will die. Even if the price is not as expensive as the regular Dawn Army, it is not too cheap.
This way.
Players have become the most sought-after targets of the Dark Invasion.
Due to the war between Red Fire and Sand Sea, William mobilized 800,000 players.
Most of these 800,000 players are players of versions 1.0 and 2.0, and most of their personal ranks have reached high-level, or are close to high-level.
As for the more than three million players left, the vast majority are mid-level, and there are even many beginners.
Originally, this group of players could only perform simple employment tasks, such as fighting, running errands, catching World of Warcraft and other small tasks.
But darkness invades.
These three million players instantly received reminders of the main missions, and there were as many as fifteen of them. If they hadn't been incompetent, these main missions would have overwhelmed their livers and kidneys.
The reason why there are 15 S-level main missions is because there are 15 grand duchies in the Legend Continent. When these 15 grand duchies submit employment applications to Dawn City.
William provides these tasks to many players.
Almost each of these fifteen grand duchies has 200,000 players.
"It seems a bit too spread out. I might not be able to handle it." His Royal Highness, who was studying how to make money, now feels a little regretful.
If he had known earlier, he would have rejected several grand duchies so that the players would not be so scattered, and he would have been able to maintain 100% mission completion of the Dawn Mercenary Group.
In fact, there are two types of employment tasks.
One is to directly give a large sum of money, and the employee is responsible for completing the task without any additional balance.
The other is to give money to fight every day and work with the employer to complete the task.
Dawn City was very strong, but he didn't want to attract so much hatred, so he chose the second way, giving money to fight every day and working together to complete the mission.
Um.
After all, he had carefully calculated that with the second employment method, he would earn more gold coins through commission every day, because he knew that the second wave of dark creatures would last really long.
But this is also what worries him, the staff is too spread out.
But then, he received another message.
In order to compete for business with Dawn City, the Eastern Region Mercenary Alliance and the Extreme Cold War Group have lowered their hiring prices again. Therefore, there are not only players from Dawn City in the Grand Duchy, but also many powerful NPC mercenaries.
"Well, in this way, it seems that it is not so easy to lose, but in order to prevent the players from being bullied, I have to send some experts to help in the battle.
After all, mercenaries are not so harmonious. If there are no masters present, the Eastern Region Mercenary Alliance and the Extreme Cold War Group will definitely bully those cute little sheep. This reflects the benefits of having a strong camp and not being afraid of being bullied by NPCs. "
Thinking of this, William finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had already prepared if any of the Grand Duchys really couldn't handle it.
Dawn City put pressure on them to spend money to hire their own regular army.
Otherwise, we will wait for the country to be destroyed and our family to be destroyed.
He believed that if that time really came, even the stingy kings and nobles would not give up their principalities and family properties. When the time comes, Dawn City will make a lot of money and their country will survive.
It's a win-win.
No one loses.
He can also rely on this wave of operations to once again sell equipment, skills, props, potions, cheats, etc. to make a good profit.
Now, although there are two large mercenary groups and some small mercenary groups that have taken away part of their interests, at least they have shared the pressure together.
But William also felt that Dawn City spread employment tasks throughout the legendary continent.
He did not interfere much in the Northern and Western Regions. He only established strongholds within the Grand Duchy. However, he also used the immortality and low-cost characteristics of the Chosen Legion to seize a large mercenary market.
He has not yet intervened in more mercenary missions in the kingdom, but he has already aroused the hostility of many mercenary groups. Now they have lowered their prices to compete with him. It seems that the competition can be fair, but their dead people need to be compensated. If they continue to do this If you do it, you will definitely lose your blood.
They might join forces to target themselves in the future.
"Hey, I'm not worried about their problems now. Although I have captured a lot of the employment market, there are only so many people in Shuguang City. It's not like I've eaten every piece of meat..." William took out a small notebook and wrote about this problem first. Make a note of it and then forget about it.
As for what exactly the millions of regular troops in Dawn City are going to do
Naturally, it’s brushing.
William will take advantage of the fact that the second wave of dark invasion is not strong enough to find the not-so-dense underground caves scattered throughout the Legend Continent, and strive to BUFF some legions into victorious legions.
In particular, the second wave of dark invasion is not only targeting the Grand Duchy of Humanity.
We will also target many more neutral camps, such as the Feather Tribe, Half-Elves, Dwarves, Taurens, etc. These small tribes with only tens of thousands of people are scattered among the forests, grasslands, and mountains of the Legendary Continent, almost everywhere. .
Facing the invasion of darkness, they also faced tremendous pressure.
His Highness the Prince is not interested in making money from them. He just wants to uphold his identity as a messenger of justice, send regular legions there to help them deal with the danger, and use the excuse that it is too dangerous outside to bring them back to Dawn City for protection.
"MD, make money with blood." William chuckled. This was his biggest plan. He didn't dare to take action against the Grand Duchy of Humanity, so he would use employment methods to achieve win-win cooperation.
Um.
Anyway, he felt it should be a win-win situation.
But other small forces had no backing, so he would use this excuse to kidnap them all and take the opportunity to continue to increase the population of Dawn City.
If there are no accidents.
After the second wave of dark invasion is resolved, Dawn City can once again increase its population by several million.
They are not human yet, they are all composed of various races.
For other forces, it is definitely impossible for such a wide variety of races to live in the city, because this will inevitably cause conflicts and even fights.
However, His Highness the Prince's talent is awesome. No matter how unhappy this group of people was at the beginning, in the end, under William's PY, they could only say one thing: "It's so sweet."
"Bang!" His Highness the Prince closed his small notebook. He took advantage of the fact that there were no big enemies in version 4.0, so he did just that, accelerating development and striving to become a high-level neutral camp on the legendary continent.
Even if it cannot become the first echelon like the Temple of Light, it still needs to become a neutral camp comparable to the second echelon like Chaos City.
… …
Time gradually passed by again, and soon it was three days later.
The border friction between Red Fire and Sand Sea did not stop deliberately because of the dark invasion, but became more and more intense.
Although there will be no large-scale battles between the two sides, at least hundreds or thousands of people die on the border battlefield every day.
The three major dwarf legions also often attack the border defense lines and fight fiercely with players.
However, because the equipment of the dwarf army is generally too good, the players who are greedy for money also have a spirit of fearlessness and death. There is a sense that if you dare to come, I dare to steal your equipment.
However, the dwarf legion is powerful. Most of them are high-level and mid-level professionals. Coupled with the advantage of the bloodline amplification attribute, one person can basically defeat four or five players alone. Plus, if he has a military formation, Players who are simply suppressed have no way out.
If the dwarf army didn't want to suffer too much damage, the players would have been unable to bear it long ago.
Therefore, this also makes players feel that they cannot gain much benefit. They always feel that they are just using experience points to exchange for equipment, which is a bit of a loss.
Because players keep playing, they lose experience, and even lose levels and equipment...
"The sky is a bit gloomy. I heard that the dark invasion will appear in these two days. There shouldn't be any demon caves in our battlefield, right?" Chang Li Jiuge looked at the sky and sighed.
Little Ayin walked up to him with her long white legs, picked up a piece of fruit worth 3 gold coins, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Probably not. Didn't His Highness say that the main target of this wave of dark invasion is It’s the Grand Duchy, launching attacks against those forces with fewer epic masters.”
"Well, now that the two kingdoms have so many epic masters stationed at the border, they should not make such low-level mistakes." Chu Liuqiu nodded affirmatively.
However.
He just finished speaking.
Near the dwarf military camp, which is more than 10,000 meters west of the player's camp, there are constant rumbling sounds, and demon caves rise from the ground.
Countless dark creatures were like desert army ants, frantically attacking the dwarf camp not far away, and there were many demons flying in the sky.
Little Ayin opened her small mouth and couldn't help but glance at Chu Liuqiu, who was a little confused. She thought to herself, do you have a crow's mouth? Do you want to be so accurate
at the same time.
Chu Liuqiu also received a lot of voice messages. Not only was the Blue Mountain Dwarf Army in front of them attacked by dark creatures, but the other Iron Fist Dwarf Army and the Hard-bearded Dwarf Army were also attacked.
"What should we do, take advantage of the situation and attack the lover's army from both sides?" Someone's eyes lit up and he couldn't help shouting.
"Yes, let these dwarves enjoy the feeling of having an assholes all over the mountain."
"No, dwarves are enemies, but dark creatures are the real mortal enemies." Many female players feel a little unbearable. Although they are enemies, no matter how you look at it, dark creatures are more terrifying and less humanoid.
They were able to fight with the dwarves only because both sides accepted some kind of mercenary mission!
Especially now that there are too many dark creatures. Even if there is an army of 80,000 or 90,000 dwarves in front of them, there are at least more than 600,000 or 700,000 dark creatures emerging from the hundreds of demon caves. If there is no accident, this A group of dwarves who used to give them explosive equipment will be completely wiped out today.
"Then don't go. At most, they will kill each other and let's take advantage of it later. By the way, 'Mengmeng', I have saved a lot of money recently and plan to buy a Warcraft war horse. I will take you shopping then. Let's go shopping." Someone chuckled, willing to be the female player's licking dog.
Unfortunately, the girl player named Mengmeng refused and said, "Thank you, little brother, but one of my brothers has already bought a griffin beast and wants to take me to fly in the sky and eat marshmallows on the clouds."
"..." The male player fell into silence. It has to be said that when the Beast Control City started selling Warcraft, there were a lot of bloody situations among the players.
That is, girl players would rather sit on a griffin and cry than laugh while riding a horse...
"There are no dark creatures near the fortresses of Red Fire and Shahai, but they are already fighting." Someone got the news and said.
Chang Li Jiuge took a breath of air: "These three dwarf legions are finished. The Red Fire Kingdom will definitely not give the Sand Sea Kingdom a chance to support them."
"Look, who is that team?" Someone exclaimed and pointed into the distance!
"Such dazzling blond hair, so wavy and familiar, and such a short horse. Isn't this the deputy city lord?" Someone's eyes widened.
"And Lancelot, this little bitch, this is the Lonely Mountain team, they are rushing towards the dwarf army."
Ding dong.
At this time, all players on the border have received a mission.
[Justice does not distinguish between races: The dark invasion has arrived on a large scale. Our enemies just now were surrounded and suppressed by dark creatures. Pull out the swords in your hands and rescue the dwarves who are fighting alone. Our war does not require the intervention of dark creatures. .]
[Task Difficulty: A+]
[Mission goal: three dwarf legions, rescue at least 150,000 dwarves in total.]
[mission rewards:? ? ?]
[Experience reward:? ? ?]
at the same time.
One of the half-elf army commanders of the Dawn Regular Army, who had always been hiding within the player's legion, pulled out his long sword and shouted at countless players and professionals: "His Highness said that our war does not require the intervention of dark creatures to save the dwarves." , and then we will fight again and again."
The half-elf army leader turned around slowly on his war horse, raised his sword high and shouted: "Charge with me."
"Charge the duck!!" The army of players were happy, with some pride on their faces, and they were thinking in their hearts, as expected of His Highness, he has such a damn sense of justice.
"His Royal Highness is domineering!"
"Your Highness Niuhide."
"Your Highness is so handsome. My William is the true messenger of justice and the apostle of light."
"That is, in our war with the dwarves, why do dark creatures need to intervene? Let us save these dwarfs and decide the outcome again."
