Chapter 589 Big changes
Chapter 2 of Crimson Moon - The ripples caused by the return of the old days are gradually expanding as time goes by.
In particular, more and more people are occupying the land of the past, and the hidden remnant power of the ancient gods is being discovered by more and more players, which intensifies this phenomenon.
Of course, the female player who led the team to conquer the 4-star dungeon guarded by level 24 troops has also become the focus of discussion by countless people.
Unknowingly, Richard left another legendary deed.
After the enthusiasm of players has greatly increased, the most intuitive impact is that the influence of the old camp is increasing day by day.
As the base camp of the old camp, Crimson Moon has also welcomed more and more players.
The biggest turning point was the day when the passage to the Crimson Moon was opened from the plane of El.
Players who want to go to the Crimson Moon and can't find the way can go directly through the plane of El at this time.
The layout of the two-way portals built by thousands of guilds in the early stage allowed the network of the El Plane to radiate to the entire main plane.
This moment plays a crucial role.
Especially after learning that those who go to the Crimson Moon can get a lot of benefits, many players are even more excited.
Quietly, Crimson Moon attracted more than 60% of players.
As long as players enter this mysterious area, no one can resist the temptation, and almost all of them become members of the old camp.
The power of the old camp began to surge at an exaggerated speed.
Faced with this situation, the gods from the hostile camp also reacted in fear and anger.
Not long after, a news spread throughout the main plane of the forum that major sects were gathering church personnel to prepare armies.
And without exception, these sects have all issued bans on the old camp.
As long as you join the old camp or even go to the Crimson Moon, you will be hostile.
Some cities controlled by sects will even attack those players.
Under the strong pressure, it really made a large number of players hesitate.
Although the old camp has given many benefits, at present, the gods are the real controllers.
And in this situation, a piece of news from the El Players Association made many players tilt towards the old camp again
The ancient gods of old are gods who have had power since the beginning of creation!
The current gods are gods who stole the power of the ancient gods.
Compared with other gods, the ancient gods have higher authority over authority. As long as the ancient gods are revived, they can easily deprive ordinary gods of their authority.
After the news spread, the sect became furious and began to refute the rumors frantically.
Claims that this news is nothing more than the demagoguery of old demons who want to pollute the entire world.
The gods are the real leaders of this world, the great beings who protect the safety of everyone!
But the source of this news gives players a high level of trust. It was spread by the El Players Association, and it is said that Qingqiu accidentally revealed it in a conversation.
Although this statement is an unconfirmed rumor, Qingqiu's reputation in the eyes of players is obviously higher than that of the sect, which has always been less favorable to players.
In addition, the sect's defense was very empty and arrogant, and it also caused damage to the interests of many players.
This directly caused the deterrence caused by the sect's ban to be greatly reduced, and a large number of players entered Crimson Moon every day.
Time passed quickly, and on April 25, a shocking piece of news made the already turbulent situation boil.
The reason is that players from all sects received the S-class camp mission - Destroy the Old One.
The gods no longer concealed their fear and anger, and directly launched the mobilization order.
As long as you are a player in the sect camp, it is mandatory to accept this task.
Must participate in the siege and suppression of the old camp.
Not long after this news came out, those players who had converted their armies into the Old Ones and were firmly bound to the Old Ones camp also received the corresponding task - to protect the Old Ones.
The false gods who had stolen power were terrified and panicked all day long, and made the final desperate fight.
All players from the old camp are invited to go to the Crimson Moon to protect the ancient gods and wait for their return.
Two S-class missions, the conflict between the two old and new camps, had been brewing for several months, and finally broke out.
Under the two main tasks, the two hostile camps began to send out a large number of sub-level tasks every day.
This made the turbulent situation even more turbulent.
Every day, players from the old camp are killed by sect attacks, and similarly, players from the sect camp are destroyed every day.
In some prosperous areas with many lords and dense resources, war has become the main theme at this moment.
In the midst of great turmoil, it is impossible to be alone.
The sect gathers troops very quickly. According to players' speculation, they will launch a general attack on Crimson Moon in about half a month.
By then, Crimson Moon will face an army of sects ruled by countless gods.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of accumulation are all revealed at this moment.
An unprecedented epic war will break out.
May 8th, Twilight City, Lord's Mansion.
Richard sat at the head of the long table, half holding a warm tea cup in one hand, frowning as he looked at the already noisy forum.
It took a long time before the forum was closed.
Turn your head and look to the side.
"Carew, is there any news about Weir today?"
Karu, whose hair was already pale but still energetic, said in a deep voice.
"Sir, I just received it."
"Several sects in Solan City are now preparing for war, and the prices of high-end weapons in the city have increased significantly."
“At the same time, food prices have also increased by 30%.”
"The magic scrolls and potions have more than doubled."
Richard nodded.
Once war comes, the impact will be in all aspects, and no one can escape.
"Weapons in Bloodhoof City can be sold at a faster pace. This wave of resources can be earned."
After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"How long will our food reserves last?"
"After our large-scale acquisition, it will be enough to last for two years."
"Where is the plane of El?"
"Her Royal Highness Queen Redel has also increased her food reserves after our reminder. The original stock can last for a year and a half."
Richard breathed a sigh of relief. Although the troops in Twilight City were all undead beings who did not need logistical supplies, the residents under his command and the workers needed them.
Without food, people will die.
Now Twilight City not only needs to support the more than 10,000 people in the city, but also the underground world and even the El Plane. He also has to make arrangements.
This adds up to a population of three to four million.
The daily logistics are astronomical.
"How is the Department of Agriculture's reclamation of the Eternal Land progressing?"
"Currently, a farmland area of ten kilometers in diameter has been reclaimed."
"In addition, the El Plane is also expanding its farming area on a large scale."
Richard knew something in his mind, leaned back comfortably on the armchair, and continued.
“What stage has the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce reached in the production of the Magic Sound Box?”
"Weil sent news that formal mass production started yesterday."
Karu's face looked a little surprised.
"The Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being the top chamber of commerce. In just one month, the production line has been set up, and the initial output can be increased to 20,000 units per day!"
"What's more important is that more production capacity will be invested in the next month! And in order to strengthen production, the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce has even directly acquired more than twenty small guilds with related alchemy technology."
"With such investment, it can be expected that it will not take long for Magic Sound Box to be fully launched in the market."
Production of 20,000 units per day?
A delighted smile appeared on Richard's face.
As a top chamber of commerce that has existed for a long time, after using all its strength, it did not disappoint him.
"Bring all our inventory to Solan City, and start a full sale a week later."
Karu nodded excitedly.
"Sir, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Just like in the 1960s and 1970s when supplies were scarce, a radio could become a dream accessory for a family.
The magic sound box is simply an irresistible fatal temptation for the aborigines with poor spiritual life.
After discussing this topic, Richard continued.
"What's going on over there in the Templar Empire?"
"In the past month, the news that Prince Luce has received the support of the four Grand Dukes has directly shocked the entire Holy City!"
When Karu said this, he immediately became excited and his tone improved a bit.
"Prince Luce, from the least favored loser, became the most dazzling new star in Temple City."
"Everyone is talking about Prince Roose!"
"According to your instructions, our people have begun to secretly guide public opinion, focusing on cleaning up Prince Luce and making him the heir to the throne."
As he spoke, he was a little impressed.
"I have to say that the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild's skill is amazing. Not only does it have huge influence around the Death Desert, but it also has a lot of secrets in the capital of the Templar Empire."
"Your plan was implemented without any compromise."
Richard smiled, who is Windsor? That was the ultimate boss that was going to pull the gods all over the sky and fall to the throne of God. How could the other party's handiwork be so simple?
"How did the royal family react?"
"I didn't agree with it at first, but the impact caused by the four Grand Dukes' joint efforts directly put those who had objections under tremendous pressure and no longer dared to refute it publicly."
"The even bigger good news is that the Templar King suffered a sudden stroke half a month ago and can only rest in bed now."
"Although the old king is still dissatisfied with Prince Luce, he should feel that his time is running out and no longer criticize him harshly. However, it cannot be said that he treats him differently. It can only be said that he is out of sight. .”
"Currently, the eldest prince and the second prince are the ones the old king calls around the most."
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Have the royal family given up on the idea of the El plane?"
Karu shook his head with an ugly expression.
"No, even the eldest prince and the second prince have begun to unite with the great nobles in order to compete for merit, and are preparing to attack the El plane."
"Currently, the first batch of royal spies have sneaked into Solan City."
As he spoke, a bit of anger rose in his eyes.
"Sir, should we take action and chop off these claws? Give them a warning"
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Grand Guild of Solan will take care of these people."
Taking a deep breath, his tone became a little lower.
"The Templar Empire can start the second phase of its layout."
"After the sect's war against Crimson Moon, the twilight of the gods is about to come."
"We need to make preparations in advance, and the Templar Empire must be in our hands."
Carew solemnly responded.
But after thinking about it, he still hesitated.
"Sir, in the second stage, it is not difficult to provoke a fight between the eldest prince and the second prince. What is difficult is how to make the third prince ascend smoothly."
"And there are five princes behind the third prince. He has too many competitors."
Richard looked at him deeply.
"No, Luce has no competition in my eyes."
There was a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.
"If the prince of the royal family does not die in the struggle for power, it will be meaningless"
"The four Grand Dukes have made their cards known. Do you think they will let Luce take control? These people are the main force!"
"The battle for the throne has never been a battle between princes, but a war between the interest groups behind them."
With him standing behind Luce, it doesn't matter who the competitor is.
Because behind him is Windsor.
It is the ultimate boss who wants to bury the gods.
Kalu looked at Richard blankly, and after a long silence, he said with a bit of complexity.
"My lord, maybe I will never be able to match your courage in this lifetime"
He said and laughed again.
"I don't have a few days left in my life."
After the words fell, Richard regained his composure and moved on to the next topic before he could speak.
"Sir, do we want to participate in the war between Crimson Moon and the sect?"
"Judging from the current power of Crimson Moon, the probability of the sect's victory in this battle of guards has reached 90% and is almost a foregone conclusion."
"After millions of years of accumulation, it is much more powerful than the Crimson Moon which only has Lord Divine Grace."
As the chief steward of Twilight City, Kalu knows as many secrets as anyone else, and Richard has never hidden anything from this general.
"Will Crimson Moon lose?"
There was a bit of amusement in Richard's eyes.
"Who told you that the sect could win?"
"Karoo, this war will be the beginning of Ragnarok."
Karu was puzzled.
"Based on the information we currently have, it appears that Crimson Moon has no chance of winning."
After Richard was silent for a moment, the message from Windsor half a month ago rang in his mind.
Twilight City must not participate in this war.
This is the beginning of the hunt for the gods, and those who step into the Crimson Moon will all be destroyed.
The tone was a bit subtle.
"The moment the sect's army steps into the Crimson Moon, this war will be over."
"What Crimson Moon wants is never to defeat the enemy on the battlefield."
"But let the sect's army step into the crimson moon"
These words made Karu feel creepy, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.
Let the other party step into the Crimson Moon. What will happen after stepping in? Needless to say? !
If this really happened, he couldn't imagine what changes would happen to the plane next.
God, things are going to change. (End of chapter)
