532 The Prologue of the Chief War
532
The prelude to the chief war
As the defense belt gradually improved, the pressure on Obsidian Collar gradually decreased, and Wutong was able to free up his efforts to sort out the chaotic government affairs of Obsidian Collar...
As a large number of experienced nobles, housekeepers, deacons, and personnel from all walks of life were merged by Zhuo Ya and reorganized and arranged to various positions of the Obsidian Corps, the operation of the Obsidian Corps gradually got on track.
The large amount of value created by players continues to flow into the pockets of "Secret Shadow" and is used to purchase a large amount of materials to supplement the huge dungeon warehouse of Obsidian Collar. In addition to providing the needs of the entire Obsidian Collar players, it is also used to purchase a large amount of construction materials and continue to build Obsidian Collar. This is a protracted and consuming huge investment.
Although Wutong has pursued practicality as much as possible and has given up the details, relying solely on the resources provided by players who have joined Obsidian Corner, it is still a drop in the bucket to completely complete Obsidian Corner.
But it has to be said that the Obsidian Corner, which has completed the infrastructure construction, has now become the core area of players on Andele and even the entire Kovare Continent. After all, this is the first territory controlled by players and independently governed... Of course, for players who don’t know the inside story, the Obsidian Corner is the only place where you can obtain territory and titles.
As for the system of fighting title exchanges established by Wutong, there is no need to worry about creating a huge aristocratic group, because the third level, third level, third level, and the sixth level, sixth level, and the twenty-seventh level of the title are enough for them to be promoted to the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
Although it is easy to upgrade in the early stage, in fact, for every level of improvement, the amount of war merit required is increased by ten times. From the increase to only 100 points of war merit, it requires 1,000 points of war merit, and the increase to the increase is a total of 100,000, million, ten million, one million, one billion, one billion...
Although you can get 100 battle merits by killing a Kannas skeleton soldier, the higher the level, the more battle merits you get, it can be calculated that if players upgrade from the lowest level, they need to kill more than 10 million Kannas skeletons. On the northern battlefield, there are 20 to 30 million players, aboriginal adventurers and mercenaries. If you want to upgrade, how many Kannas skeletons will have to be killed for them?
Although the spoils seized on the battlefield can also be used to exchange for war honors, killing more advanced Kannas undead creatures and obtaining more war honors, it is a long way off to get promoted to that.
Therefore, the title is just a bundle of "green grass" used by a certain black lord to hang in front of the noses of the players' "donkeys". It can be seen, but it cannot be eaten, so I can only keep moving forward with hope.
Not to mention that in order to prevent accidents, a black lord also evilly introduced a war merit redemption system. Supplies can be exchanged with war merit, income tax can be offset by war merit, skeleton soldiers can be hired with war merit, equipment can be purchased with war merit...
In this case, it is difficult for anyone to resist the temptation and not use the Zhan Xun? So, Obsidian Ling unexpectedly owns an invisible "virtual currency".
The reason why Wutong dared to sell official positions and titles so blatantly and promoted it to the entire Obsidian territory was entirely because she obtained the "suggestions" of Princess Mishas, Eveenen.
Of course, Princess Mishasi's suggestion did not mean that Wutong had obtained the permission of Her Majesty the Queen, because Wutong's behavior was not his first in Andele, or on the Continent of Covare!
In the countries on the Kovare Continent, any powerful lord will always have a large number of small noble families, as well as some prominent families affiliated with their territories, and the lords provide protection for them, and the vassals will worship their masters. There is a subordinate relationship between the two.
In this case, there are often many noble members under a lord's name to serve him. For example, the nobles under Wutong's current subordinates, their housekeepers themselves even have even titles. Although they are only unleased nobles, their status as nobles is recognized by the royal family.
Those subordinates who do not have noble status in the lord's name have gained the trust and recognition of the lord after serving the lord for a long time. The lord will also give them the identity to show favor, but the lord can grant them limited titles
Like Wutong, there are only one, three, nine, and twenty-seven "unnecessary titles". These titles are recognized by the royal family, but will not grant territory or pay salaries. They are completely nominal titles.
But if the lord is willing, he can take out his fiefs from his territory and give them to him, or pay their salary instead of the royal family. The royal family does not care about it, and the status of this type of title is lower than that given by the royal family.
However, there are too many people under a level lord, and only forty "unleading titles" are far from enough to meet the needs. Therefore, the lord will usually be cautious in enfeoffing these titles to avoid the situation of "two peaches and three soldiers" under his subordinates, which is to make himself uncomfortable.
So in order to solve this problem, the lords had long been using a kind of title, which was a verbally promised title instead of rewards. It was not until the subordinates really made some commendable credit that they were truly awarded to their subordinates "unnecessary title".
These titles are not recognized by the royal family, but they are accustomed to the existence of this class, so often this type can only take effect within the territorial territory of the title. Leaving the territorial territory, it loses its meaning. Gradually, this type is distinguished from it, and is called a family title.
It refers to a private title that is lower than the title of lord. For example, Wutong can grant any title lower than his title to his subordinates. There is no limit on the number. As long as the lord is happy, no one will recognize it anyway, but the title is consistent with the system.
With the birth of the system, lower titles were gradually derived, that is, the sum of the following. This kind of lower title is called, and thus, the class pyramid on the Kovare Continent was formed.
At the suggestion of His Highness the Princess, Wutong granted a large amount of awards within the Obsidian Collector, that is, no matter how he tossed, he would not be criticized by the royal family. However, it was also based on the premise that he made his plans public to Old Man Zemur, His Highness the Princess, and the royal etiquette officer who accompanied His Highness to stay in the Obsidian Collector.
Since Wutong's Obsidian Territory has no grass to the extreme, the environment is dangerous, there is no resources, and even the land cannot grow food, so although the area of territory granted to Wutong far exceeds the scope of the territory it should have, the royal family still feels that they owe something to Wutong, a hero who has made contributions to the king.
In dealing with his incident, he was very inclusive. He even saved the procedure for reporting the decision to Her Majesty the Queen, just because His Highness Mishasi and the royal etiquette officer discussed it for a moment and passed it. It can be seen that before the Princess came down to the Obsidian Colonel, Her Majesty had already made an explanation.
It is obvious that players who are working hard to accumulate war merits will not know this. Wutong is treated equally by treating the leader's fiefs and titles, which is not without a reason. How could he even grant fiefs and titles to the zodiacs and cross-border players who do not have Andele?
It's not all because of whether this kind of "verbal title" is promoted or demoted, it's all because of his decision, as the lord. Even players in the current hostile countries and countries dare to grant titles and fiefs. The players don't think about it. It's impossible for Andele Royal Family to allow him to "support" such a small, hand-covering personnel in the enemy camp. If you don't consider this, who will blame him?
At present, there are as many as thousands of fiefs enfeoffed by Obsidian, and it is still increasing every day, but basically one hundred acres and one thousand acres. After all, there are not many players who have reached level 2. With Obsidian's enfeoffed area of 1,500 square kilometers, he can enfeoff 15,000, and the thousands in front of him do not even take up a fraction of them.
In addition, the territory granted by the royal family to Wutong is a completely symbolic oral number. Anyway, he has occupied 1,500 square kilometers, which is two or three times more than the territory. It doesn’t matter if there is a little more.
In fact, if he was willing to occupy all these three evil places, the royal family would not say anything. Anyway, it was an unscathing place without any value. In the past, the fiefdoms were so tight that they had never been enfeoffed in an inch of the land in the northern province, which shows that it was not popular here.
Now Her Majesty the Queen killed two-thirds of Andele's noble class. Some of the fertile land that was vacant was naturally not too much to Wutong in the northern province where birds do not lay eggs, and she had the ability to take up the Star Mountains.
With a large number of small fortress-style fiefs, Obsidian Collars gained a rare development opportunity. After the establishment of various institutions, they entered a regular operation state.
However, as the battle situation on the frontline escalates, Wutong has to withdraw from government affairs and devote her energy to the battlefield again.
In the massive 1st-level Kannas skeleton sea, 2nd-level Kannas zombies and heavy infantry began to appear. These tireless killing machines can cause great casualties to players, forcing players to use various means to deal with them.
In addition to drawing out a few 2nd-level individuals in the player group to specifically snipe them, they also used a large number of alchemy props, traps, etc. to prevent these heavy zombies from colliding on the city walls of the fief.
Not to mention the heavy armor cast on them, the ones they hold are not so much a giant sword, but rather a cruel weapon of giant iron ingots. They rushed under the city wall and slashed it with a few swords, which could easily destroy the defense of the city wall. Once the city is broken and rushed into the fief by heavy zombies, it would be a massacre.
There are more powerful zombie cavalry and zombie knights, which is even more unbearable to ordinary players. However, once you encounter this irresistible situation, you can choose to purchase the value-added rescue service of Obsidian Collar:
As long as you release special alchemy fireworks, you can summon cavalry teams from nearby "Knights of the Netherworld" to rescue. Although it is of great value, it is always cheaper than the ones that need to be rebuilt.
With such a good opportunity to train troops, Wutong could not leave "Knights of the Nether Flame" to hatch eggs in Obsidian City. Although he retreated his troops to the defensive belt, Wutong dispersed the team and distributed it to the gap between fiefs, blocking those Kannas skeleton soldiers who did not attack the fortress fiefs through the defensive belt, which not only reduced casualties, but also achieved the purpose of training.
In order to increase the strength of the Obsidian Collar as much as possible, Wutong sent out even low-level skeletons to use the sea of skeletons to deal with the sea of skeletons. Although there were huge casualties, through this Gu-refining and eliminating training mode, a large number of advanced skeletons were spawned, causing the overall strength to continue to rise.
Originally, the number of only one million was rising with geometric numbers, but initially the number of only one hundred was greatly increased due to the continuous advancement of the legions under his command.
In this mode, perhaps Wutong can have a knightly order composed entirely of knight-level combat power in the future. Only then will the "Knights of the Nether Flame" truly be worthy of their name, rather than relying on a hundred or ten scenes like now.
In addition to achieving the purpose of training, Wutong even sent arcane skeletons into the battlefield in large quantities, using the scattered skeletons on the battlefield on a large scale to spawn low-level skeletons into battle, and to absorb the massive amount of free soul energy and negative energy that spread on the battlefield.
Only through this mode can the Obsidian's Army's troops and strength be increased as much as possible to achieve the purpose of confronting the Kannas Immortal Legion. Otherwise, it would be impossible to confront the Kannas Immortal Legion, which is just a advance force, with only one advance force.
The problem of lack of troops in Obsidian leadership was slightly alleviated as the lions and pastoral scenery brought their developing power back strongly.
Although due to the random teleportation problem, the lion and pastoral scenery were assigned to the kingdom. They were unable to receive support from "Secret Shadow", and their development in this No. 1 power in the Kovare continent was far less than that of Wutong, but they chose to join the two major knights as early as the early stage, but they successfully obtained the status of advanced knights and formed their own team.
This time they gave up their development and moved all their staff to Andele to assist Wutong. They brought back not only huge resources, but also brought back two Knights with formal Knights:
The "Kenland Elite Knights" led by the Lion and the "Knights of the Iron-Faced Shield" led by the Pastoral Scenery!
One of these two knights takes the attack route and the other takes the defense route. The total number is more than 20,000 people. All of them are composed of players of the knight profession. Among them, there are many members who have completed the Knight Trial and successfully advanced to the second-level knight. In terms of high-end combat power, their two knights are not even worse than the "Knights of the Nether Flame" under Wutong's name!
Especially after they arrived in Will County on a long journey and entered the territory of "Secret Shadow" in Oraon City, all the staff transferred to the 30,000 Vironna war horses seized from the zodiac that Wutong had prepared for them!
Most of the knight's combat power comes from his own mounts, so the strength that a good war horse can exert in the hands of a formal knight is not just the superposition of mounts and knights.
When they arrived at the Obsidian Collar, all the staff changed into a complete set of Cannas military armor. This caused the Lion and their combat effectiveness to increase sharply!
Although the Industrial Kingdom is famous for its various fine-processed products and heavy industrial products, the steel refining and foundry industry is the best in the mainland, and weapons and armor account for the majority of export products, it is slightly inferior in quality compared with the Dwarf Kingdom or the War Kingdom, and the main focus is on cheap and practical brands with "large output and fast production".
Therefore, the relatively low-priced weapons and armor on the Lions were immediately stripped down by Wutong and replaced with military armor seized from Kannas. The ones they replaced were not wasted, and were thrown by Wutong in the military equipment hypermarket for surplus value.
The Kannas military armor used by the two Knights Legions brought back by the Lion and Pastoral Scenery is not the one sold to ordinary players by Wutong. However, it is processed and coated with a layer of enhanced military armor with Fire Crystal. The quality is directly improved from the original level by two levels, achieving quality. Once you go out, it is bright red, like a burning legion!
The emergence of these two knights also made Wutong, the empty lord, become a real name. Wutong, while retaining their original knights, directly organized them into the Obsidian Knights' Order, and all the family knights and guards brought by the nobles into their names, expanded the Obsidian Knights' Order to 100,000 people, and then threw them directly into the front-line battlefield and trained troops with the "Knights of the Nether Flame"!
With the defensive belt and their existence, the Kannas Immortal Legion broke through the defense line in a short period of time, and Wutong could also follow the teacher to leave for Fairhaven to participate in the four-year "Pankovare Continental United Academy Trial Competition", which is the so-called "Chief War".
Relevant personnel were summoned and the final arrangements and explanations were made. Wutong and the others followed Old Man Zemur with a little nervousness and stepped into the super-level spell he activated. A white light flashed in front of them and appeared on the vast campus of Vinaen Academy. The Vinaen Academy, which should have been no one, was in full swing at this moment. Many chief students of the Arcane Academy from the mainland countries were all concentrated here, and the largest chief war in history was about to begin!
Even Wutong couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because the ones who appeared here represent the high-end players in "Endlessness", either the top-ranked people on the "Advanced Player" list, or the awesome figures on the "Super Player" list. Can he stand out among so many experts like a pseudo-super player?
Trouble: The plot of territory construction has finally been accelerated, and the next step is Wutong's adventure. It's awesome~ This chapter is 5,500, and more is considered to reward everyone's support.
