Chapter 523 Obelisk News, Flame Guild
Lion City Council Hall.
A giant map five meters wide and more than ten meters long is currently spread out on the long table in the center.
Richard looked carefully at the military map that mapped the entire Aiur plane.
He ignored the reception banquet and directly let everyone get into the theme.
A small lion statue is placed where the Lion City is located.
From the map, Lion City belongs to the southeast corner of the El plane and is also the last province in the south.
All enemy attacks come from the ↑ north and ← west.
However, Lion City is located in the center of the province, and the troops from the surrounding small cities have been mobilized.
In the front, there are no cities that can block the enemy anymore.
The Lion City will face a battle that begins and ends.
Whoever can win this war will dominate the El Plane.
If Duke Wrath-blood wins, no matter how powerful Richard is, he must evacuate the El Plane. He may come back in the future, but that will be a thing in the future.
The Duke of Wrathful Blood was defeated, and those nobles and troops who were still waiting and watching, who were not very interested in the Duke of Wrathful Blood, would soon shake the opponent's rule.
At that time, the appeal that the banner of the El Royal Family can exert will increase tenfold.
After Princess Ruideer thought for a moment, she stretched out her hand to indicate a bloody rift mark at the northernmost part of the map.
His tone was filled with suppressed anger.
"In order to prevent the invasion of demons, the main army of the Kingdom of El used to be stationed in the Abyss Rift."
"This army has 10 main legions and one elite legion. The average level of the elite legion's arms is 15, and the main legion is level 13~14."
"But this despicable bastard, Grand Duke Wrathblood, is not only a shameful betrayer, but also has an unclear collusion with the evil god!"
"This army has been moved away from the Abyss Rift by him and is heading towards the Lion City."
"The general who leads this army is a lackey trained by the Wrathblood Archduke himself. He will not surrender to us."
"According to our intelligence, even now this army has been eroded by the abyss and corrupted after the rebellion of the Wrathblood Archduke."
After speaking, he took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, and tried to point to another mountain mark in the most rational manner.
"This is the territory of the Grand Duke of Montenegro. The opponent has always been an admirer of the Grand Duke of Wrathblood and has 5 main legions."
"Here, Grand Duke Dirk, 7 main legions."
"."
Every time Redel's finger slides on the map, the atmosphere in the room becomes more solemn.
Looking around, there are not a few capable allies in the entire map.
The opponents are each stronger than the last.
The whole country is the enemy.
After a final round of statistics, Richard clearly calculated the number of enemies they had to deal with next - 40 legions.
As for Lion City, there are only 8 legions.
Even if the reinforcements from Twilight City and the Lion City reserves are added, the number can barely reach 9 legions.
Quantities vary greatly.
In terms of quality, Archduke Wrathblood can produce 15 elite legions above level 15.
Lion City, not counting the reinforcements from Twilight City, they only have two elite legions.
Perhaps the only advantage in this war is that they have level 20 Emerelda and level 23 Lorena.
If you add the summoned fire element lord, it will be three extraordinary things.
There is only one extraordinary Duke of Wrathblood.
It is rare in Twilight City that in such a large-scale war, high-level forces can crush the opponent.
But even if he had three transcendences, it would be difficult for him to have the final say in a war involving hundreds of thousands of people.
There are too many uncertain factors - the cracks in the abyss, the hidden extraordinary, the connection between the Angry Blood Archduke and the Evil God of the Abyss.
These may influence the direction of the war.
When Richard was deep in thought in the room, it was extremely quiet, and even his breathing seemed a bit harsh.
Everyone was looking nervously at the figure staring at the map.
The other party is the sole decision-maker in this war. An order or even an idea may reverse the situation.
After a long time, Richard retracted his thoughts and stared at Ruidell.
"Your Highness Redel, the final winner of this war will only be us."
"No matter how many troops the Angry Blood Grand Duke has, how powerful he is, or how many followers he has."
He didn't explain the reason, but after he finished speaking.
Most of the uneasy atmosphere in the room quietly dissipated.
It was the first time for most people in Lion City to see Richard, but at this moment, they all had a strong trust in him inexplicably.
Perhaps, this is because even extraordinary people should be called masters.
Strength is the only pass.
Rui Del let out a long breath, and then looked at him resolutely.
"Lord Richard, from now on, all the troops in Lion City will obey your orders."
"I am no exception!"
The princess directly handed over the command.
A force can only have one voice.
It is true that she is the princess of the Kingdom of El, but Richard is the real master.
Richard was not polite and took over the authority directly.
"Okay, next, let me talk about the arrangements."
Based on the current situation, if possible, he would like to find the Angry Blood Archduke and kill this extraordinary person directly.
But unfortunately, the El plane is not his home ground.
Before the Angry Blood Archduke showed up on his own initiative, it was completely unrealistic to hunt down an extraordinary person who controlled an army of hundreds of thousands.
Even in this war, if the Lion City cannot withstand the siege of the opponent's army, the Wrathful Blood Archduke may not show up.
The cards held by the opponent are much stronger than the Lion City on the surface.
This meeting to decide the direction of the El plane lasted for two hours under the chairmanship of Richard.
The players who were waiting outside, their legs felt a little weak from waiting, finally saw the heroes of Lion City walking out of the meeting hall.
Their keen eyes discovered that the original apprehension and uneasiness on the faces of these heroes had disappeared, and instead showed excitement.
It seems that they are fully confident to face the upcoming war.
When he was hesitating whether to go directly into the lobby to see the big boss player, a soldier walked forward quickly, stopped and said loudly.
"My lord calls you to come in and see him."
Several players who had been waiting for a long time immediately became energetic.
"Yes!"
After answering, he quickly followed the soldiers who had turned around.
Passing through a giant gate with a relief carving of a lion and a height of more than ten meters, the group entered the meeting hall, which was particularly empty at the moment.
The figure that excited them was currently sitting at the long table in the central area, staring at the flat map.
It seems that they are still thinking about countermeasures for the next war.
Seeing this scene, several people were a little sad and looked at them.
The other party immediately took over the command of the Lion City, which had tens of thousands of troops, but they were not even qualified to come in and observe.
They are all players, and this gap is too disappointing.
After a few players calmed down their excitement and anxiety, they all raised their chests and bowed.
"Big Brother Qingqiu."
The posture is respectful.
Richard was awakened by the sound and looked up at the people.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw this scene.
Waved his hand.
"Don't fix these nonsense."
"Okay~"
After seeing a few people return to the active atmosphere unique to players, he continued.
"How did you come to this plane?"
The leading warrior player was the first to respond.
"Boss Qingqiu, we appeared near the territory because of a space rift."
Richard nodded.
The first chapter of the new expansion pack Plane Explorer has become the mainstream of player exploration at this stage.
The cracks opened in the plane do not necessarily only appear in one area.
"Have you discovered anything in the El Plane?"
When this topic was mentioned, the warrior players immediately became energetic.
"We were not near the Lion City before. We just heard that the princess of the El Kingdom raised the flag to resist the Angry Blood Archduke, so we came here"
As he spoke, his tone became excited.
"On the way, we accidentally discovered an interesting mysterious space. Boss Qingqiu, you will definitely be interested."
Richard looked at the expressions of several people and said with interest.
"What did you find?"
Warrior players stared at his face.
"Obelisk."
Richard's eyes lit up.
In this chapter of Plane Explorers, the system specifically reminds you that special buildings—obelisks—may exist in medium-sized and above planes.
As long as you can capture the obelisk, you can get extremely generous rewards.
Being able to be picked out by the system as a key reminder clearly indicates that the obelisk is not a simple thing.
While in the Naga plane, he asked the God of Deception and Lies and the Dark Soul Eater, Kratos, to keep an eye on the planes where bloody battles were fought in the Corrupt Swamp for the presence of obelisks.
But after more than half a month, the news I got was that there was no such thing.
Many players on the forum have discovered traces of the obelisk, but until now, no one has taken the initiative to say what they can gain by capturing the obelisk.
On the contrary, I often see posts from players complaining about the exaggerated power of the obelisk guards.
"Do you know where the obelisk is in the El plane?"
The warrior player said solemnly.
"We accidentally entered that area by mistake, and were discovered by the subordinates of the Angry Blood Archduke. If we hadn't used the random teleportation scroll, we might have stayed there forever."
This is one of the reasons why they joined Princess El's camp.
Ponyboys like them knew about a map as precious as Obelisk. If the situation was good, they might be recruited to join in the development. If they were unlucky, they would not be silenced.
Judging from the situation at that time, the majority of them were the latter, and they did not dare to bet on the attitude of the Angry Blood Archduke.
Richard nodded.
"Can you tell me the details of the obelisk?"
Since the other party proposed it on his own initiative, he must have some ideas.
The warrior player looked at each other and nodded.
"This is what we came for"
He said with some hesitation.
"However, we also have something to ask of Boss Qingqiu."
Richard smiled.
"Say."
"Our guild took a big risk this time when we entered the El Plane. I hope Boss Qingqiu can give you some advice so that we can survive safely"
Richard nodded, this condition was not excessive.
"I will arrange for you to be stationed in a safe area. If the Lion City cannot be defended, you can return to the meeting hall and I will send you back."
After receiving Richard's personal assurance, several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not a game, war will kill people.
Now that the Lion City is at an absolute disadvantage, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?
After calming down for a while, the warrior player said softly.
"Boss Qingqiu, that obelisk is hidden in a dimensional plane. You need to step into that area from the front to see it."
"Otherwise, even if you fly over it, you won't be able to spot it."
"That obelisk guard is very powerful, and there is an extraordinary hero on the surface."
"As for how strong he is, we haven't faced that hero before. We got the hint from the system."
"The troops guarding the obelisk are half-dragons with the blood of dragons. They are terrifyingly powerful. They are all level 19 and have potential as high as Huiyue 3 stars."
"The number is at least one legion."
"We had five thousand troops at the time, but if we started a conflict with the other party, a squadron of half-dragons could even destroy us."
At this point, his tone became heated.
"With such a powerful guard, the treasures hidden inside are also very coveted. According to the information we have found, there are at least three extraordinary-level military lairs, and the remaining treasures are unknown."
The moment the words fell, Richard's eyes immediately lit up.
Three extraordinary-level military lairs? ! !
He was moved.
This is definitely an exaggerated fortune.
The performance of the Huiyue-level Forbidden King on the battlefield can already be described as domineering.
As for the extraordinary level, he has the exception of the non-combat unit - the evil communicator, which is used to preach.
Nothing more.
This aroused great interest in him.
Although he has the black gold system in his hand, if he wants to be promoted to a transcendent-level unit, he needs 10 million unit nests, which is 20 million units of rare resources.
As far as the current industry of Twilight City is concerned, it cannot support this level of consumption - unless it sells iron and steel, it will not be able to recruit troops, and its life will be difficult.
"Where is the obelisk located?"
The warrior player takes a few steps forward.
"I share it with you."
Richard was not polite. After sharing the map, a new location appeared on the system map, marked with a dark tower icon.
This is only a few hundred kilometers away from the capital of El.
It is unlikely that the Angry Blood Archduke could get it quietly without his knowledge.
"Do you have any additional information?"
The warrior player said solemnly.
"We also found out that the Angry Blood Archduke has the support of a top guild. And the other party also has the idea of an obelisk."
Richard plays with the taste.
"Top union?"
"Yes, if you visit the forum, you should often hear this name. Flame Guild."
The warrior player sounded a bit cautious.
"All members of this guild believe in the Sun God Sect and have a strong group of priests and spellcasters."
"There are more than 5,000 official members, and almost every member is a lord player with considerable power."
"And they also participated in the last battle between players and the orc aboriginal forces."
"If the other side mobilizes their allies again, the enemies we face may not be as simple as the Angry Blood Archduke."
Speaking of this, his tone became more solemn.
"Boss Qingqiu, except for the Angry Blood Archduke, we are likely to have a head-to-head war with this top guild this time."
"Hope you're ready."
A war with players?
Richard looked at the other party's serious eyes. He was startled for a moment, and then a subtle emotion arose in his heart.
Ever since the player won the last war with the aborigines, he noticed that the atmosphere was changing.
Will the conquest between players officially begin with this plane explorer mission?
It’s really exciting.
I wonder if those players are ready to challenge Twilight City? (End of chapter)
