Chapter 209: Strategic Objectives
After finishing the affairs of the Vampire Legion, Ning Yuan chose two more Bronze Age player lords to take the initiative, one of the two player lords was named Qin Haodong and the other was named Li Ziqiang.
Qin Haodong is a Scattered Lord player, and Li Ziqiang is a member of the Silver Phoenix Palace.
Although these two people were one of Chen Siqi's suitors, the reason why Ning Yuan chose them as the target of his attack was mainly because the main races of the two of them were the elf race.
As the Great Wall project nears its end, Ning Yuan has begun to prepare for the defense around the entire Great Wall defense line.
Most of the Great Wall in the territory of the Condor Territory is built on flat terrain, and there is no natural danger to rely on, so what Ning Yuan can rely on is the height of the Great Wall wall.
The only advantage of building the Great Wall on flat terrain is that it can be built quickly, and if you want to rely on the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies, then the only way is to build the wall as high as possible.
In order to build a fifteen-meter-high city wall, the Condor Leader has invested millions of manpower in the past two years.
What is Ning Yuan for, isn't it just to be able to rely on the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies?
And if you want to rely on the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies, the best class of troops is of course the Elven Ranger.
The Elven Ranger can keep the enemy from approaching the walls easily with their accurate marksmanship, and at the same time prevent the enemy's flying units from crossing the Wall, making them a terrifying presence for the enemy in defensive battles.
Although there are now 170,000 elven ranger troops in Ning Yuan's territory, and at a critical moment, he can also let those female elven rangers also devote themselves to the battlefield.
But don't forget, how long is the Great Wall in the Condor Territory, just covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, although there are a lot of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, but the territory that needs to be defended is too large, and this point is not enough at all.
Moreover, except for the Great Wall, every city must have enough defenders left, so Ning Yuan can only find ways to expand the size of the elven army now, so Qin Haodong and Li Zicheng are unlucky.
At this stage, it is impossible for Lord players who are still in the Bronze Age to resist Ning Yuan's invasion.
Because Ning Yuan was using the Divine Dragon Token, the player lords who were invaded by him were all in a helpless situation, and then they could only watch as the city he had worked so hard to build was breached and he was killed.
Even if they die very aggrieved, all others can give them is sympathy afterwards.
Because at this stage, except for those player lords who have entered the feudal era, no one dares to offend Ning Yuan.
What's more, the current Ning Yuan is like a plague god to the player lords, everyone can't hide from it, and no one wants to touch his brow at all.
Here I have to mention Ning Yuan's cleverness.
Ning Yuan knew that if he wantonly invaded other player lords, he would inevitably cause public anger, so he was very clever enough to direct the attention of others to the jealousy of the wind.
A beautiful girl like Chen Siqi must have many suitors, so as long as he also incarnates as Chen Siqi's suitor, and then uses vinegar to fight other suitors, then players will only watch them with the attitude of eating melons.
Players will only see this kind of thing as a war between licking dogs, and will not carry out large-scale verbal criticism of Ning Yuan, after all, they are all men, and it is normal to be jealous or something, and everyone can give a certain understanding.
Although in this way, the targets available to Ning Yuan are very limited, there may be better goals outside but Ning Yuan can't choose, but everything has gains and losses, nothing is perfect.
Since Ning Yuan has successfully avoided the sight of most people by using jealousy, he must play the role of a qualified suitor, not to mention that he really likes Chen Siqi, a girl, so he can be regarded as taking care of both public and private interests.
The two unlucky guys contributed a total of 350,000 elven troops, 70,000 Terran troops, 1 million elven civilians, and 230,000 Terran civilians to Ning Yuan.
The reason why there are so many elves surrendering troops, Ning Yuan should be most grateful to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong is a complete racist, he believes that only the elves are the most perfect race in the game, so he has always developed in a monoracial mode.
The biggest advantage of the development of the single-race model is that the race's technology climbs very quickly, and the disadvantage is that once you encounter the race's nemesis, you are likely to be defeated and defeated to the end.
Qin Haodong didn't collapse for a thousand miles, because after he learned that Ning Yuan had invaded him, he immediately nested in the city, intending to defend the city.
Although the elven rangers are not good at frontal battles, they are good at defending the city, so Qin Haodong is ready to use the racial talent of the elf clan to gnaw a piece of meat from Ning Yuan, he can die in battle, and he will definitely not let Ning Yuan have a good time.
Although Qin Haodong thought very well, he ignored one point, that is, the biggest bug of the war ancient tree, after Ning Yuan blocked Qin Haodong in the city, he played siege but not attack, and waited for the arrival of the war ancient tree intently.
Seeing that the ancient tree of war was getting bigger and bigger day by day, Qin Haodong's will began to waver constantly, and on the fifth day, he finally collapsed completely.
As a scattered player lord, it was not easy for him to have everything today, so he finally chose to surrender to Ning Yuan in exchange for some practical benefits.
After a period of fierce bargaining, Ning Yuan traded Qin Haodong with a gold-level iron hat and five million earth coins, and promised to give the other party six more Civilization Inheritance Scrolls, ten battle-free tokens, and some basic sword weapons afterwards.
Although Ning Yuan can get everything from Qin Haodong without having to pay anything, wars always have to kill people, and no matter which side is immune.
And Ning Yuan's main purpose for coming over this time was to plunder the elven population, and every elven ranger was very precious to him.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to surrender, as long as he can receive everything from the other party without damage, even if it is worth paying some monetary costs.
If you don't consider the Divine Dragon Token that was consumed, then Ning Yuan's invasion this time can be said to be a big profit.
However, although the Shenlong token is more valuable, it is a dead thing after all, and it cannot improve the combat effectiveness of the Condor Leader, not to mention that special props are used for use, and now there are still many Shenlong tokens in Ning Yuan's hand, so it is not particularly distressing to use.
Since there was no real battle, Ning Yuan received everything from Qin Haodong without any damage, and Qin Haodong alone contributed 240,000 elf rangers and 700,000 elf civilians to Ning Yuan.
Compared with Qin Haodong, Li Ziqiang has much backbone.
Because he was backed by the big tree of the Phoenix Palace, it was absolutely impossible for Li Ziqiang to surrender to Ning Yuan, and after learning of Ning Yuan's invasion, he was ready to fight Ning Yuan to the end.
However, in many cases, courage and determination alone are useless, and if there is not enough strength to assist, the so-called determination is just a slogan.
Facing Li Ziqiang, who wanted to defend the city, Ning Yuan was ostensibly besieging but not attacking and waiting for the arrival of the ancient tree of war, but in fact, he quietly sent a battle angel army to capture the city at night.
When the Battle Angels succeeded in capturing a wall, the heavily armed Condor Guard immediately carried a ladder up the wall and formed a steel defense line around the wall, followed by the Elven Ranger Legion also ascending the wall to provide long-range fire support to the Condor Guard.
With the completion of this three-dimensional defense line, this siege battle has completely lost its suspense.
After dawn, as the heavy infantry corps led by the Condor entered the city one after another, Li Ziqiang finally realized his ideal of being loyal to the Phoenix Palace.
Although he was very unwilling, but the gap between the strength of the enemy and us was too big, and he was also empty-blooded, but he was always weak.
Qin Haodong contributed three cities to Ningyuan, namely Haotian City, Haoyue City and Haori City.
There are two natural wonders in the three cities, and they are two identical natural wonders - the Durian King.
Durian King:
Natural wonders, giant trees, according to legend, durian trees with a lifespan of more than 10,000 years can become immortal and immortal durian kings after the catastrophe, and settle near the durian king, and you can get a little scientific research value every day.
Durian: The specialty of the durian king, the fruit is as big as a football, the skin is rough and uneven, the juice is light yellow, the smell is very smelly and the taste is delicate and sweet, the nutritional value of durian is extremely high, regular consumption can strengthen the body, strengthen the spleen and qi, tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang, and warm the body.
The durian fruits on the king durian tree are ripe every month, with a monthly output of 10 million.
The so-called durian king is a durian tree that has become a fine one, and in reality, durian is a very valuable fruit, and many people like to eat it very much.
However, there are also quite a few people who can't stand the smell of durian, and Ning Yuan is one of them, so he directly transplanted the two durian kings to Jinwu City.
In fact, a natural wonder like the Durian King, if you don't consider factors such as smell, the Durian King is much more practical than the Tree of Life.
Although they also produce 10 million durians per month, the size of durians is much larger than the fruit of life, so if you only consider the edible value, a durian king can almost top two or three trees of life.
But it's a pity that the fruit of life is suitable for all ages, everyone likes to eat it, but durian has a certain suitable population, anyway, Ning Yuan would rather starve than eat a bite of durian.
Compared to Qin Haodong, Li Ziqiang was relatively poor, and there were only two cities in his territory, Sunlight City and Moonlight City.
There is nothing in the two cities except for some food resources, and there is no natural wonder to be seen, and then look at the equipment of his army, you can know that he must not be good in the Silver Phoenix Palace.
Of the five cities, Moonlight City was placed by Ning Yuan to the west of Jinwu City and the north of Natural City.
The other four cities were opened by Ning Yuan in a row on the border of the White Horse Grassland, so that even if the enemy crossed the defense line of the Great Wall, if he wanted to invade the White Horse Grassland, he must be the first to attack these four cities.
With the addition of these five new cities, the overall defensive layout of the Condor Territory is preliminarily completed.
If you look down from the sky, you will see that there are four large castle defenses within the Great Wall.
A large city group defense system with Condor City as the core.
The defense system of the White Horse Grassland with Pearl City as the core.
The city defense system with Xiliang City and Jinwu City as the core.
Finally, there is the straight-line defense system of Qingshan City, Human Wolf City, Earth Wolf City, Iron Furnace City, and Heavenly and Human City.
Of these four defense systems, the first three belong to the type that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the enemy wants to break through the core city, he must first attack the defending city around the core city.
This is very difficult, unless there is a huge advantage in troops, and it is difficult to break through each city.
The easiest thing to break is the southern defense system on the front line of the five cities. If you cut off the connection between the outer city and the rest of the city, the outermost city will become isolated and will be breached by the enemy.
The main reason why Ning Yuan did not set up a three-dimensional city defense system in the south was that he wanted to attract all the enemies to the south, so as to reduce the defensive pressure on the other three sides.
Although in this way, the five cities located in the south are likely to be breached by the enemy one by one, Ning Yuan, who is in Condor City, can take the initiative to attack at any time and fight a wild encounter with the enemy.
Even if the enemy can retreat to the breached city and choose to defend the city, he is not afraid, because this is the Condor plane, Ning Yuan occupies the right time, place and people, he can besiege the enemy in the city, and then give priority to crushing the enemy troops in other places.
After the other enemies have been destroyed, he can slowly torture those who are trapped and killed in the city.
Whether those enemies choose to surrender or defend to the death, it is very beneficial to Ning Yuan.
Surrender, Ning Yuan can harvest a lot of surrendered troops.
Defending to the death, they can bring a certain period of peace to Ning Yuan's Condor plane.
Because no one else can invade the Condor plane until all the enemies are destroyed, except for those with special items.
In addition to the five cities, Qin Haodong and Li Ziqiang also contributed a lot of special props to Ning Yuan.
Five Bronze-level Immunity Tokens, three Bronze-level Civilization Inheritance Scrolls, six Bronze-level painkiller pills, and eight Bronze-level antibiotic powders.
Three silver-level resource trading certificates, seven silver-level locators, two silver-level armistice, and two silver-level exonerated gold medals.
Two Gold Civilization Plunder Scrolls, three Gold Resource Plunder Scrolls, two Gold War Declaration Tokens, one Gold Six Invasion Token, two Gold Five Legion Distress Tokens, and two Gold Holy Alliance Contracts.
A diamond-sized Legion War Shard.
Of course, most of these props were contributed by Qin Haodong and the diamond-level treasure chest, and Li Ziqiang only provided a small part.
This is the sadness of not being able to mix up the core position in the Grand Guild.
Although Li Ziqiang's strength is not bad in the bronze rank, since he is not a core member of the Phoenix Palace, it is impossible for him to get more resources from the Phoenix Palace.
Although joining the Phoenix Hall has greatly improved his safety and security, it also limits his development potential, and after meeting Ning Yuan, the only safety guarantee is gone, which Li Ziqiang can be regarded as unlucky enough.
Qin Haodong can surrender to Ning Yuan, and then use the population and resources of the territory to exchange some capital for a comeback from Ning Yuan.
Because he's a Scattered Lord player, he's uninhibited and can do whatever he wants.
But Li Ziqiang can't.
As a member of the Phoenix Palace, he must not surrender to the enemy, so from the moment Ning Yuan chose him, his fate was already sealed, not only would he lose everything he had now, but he would also lose the opportunity to make a quick comeback.
Although as a member of the Phoenix Palace, the Phoenix Hall would provide him with some resources to start over, compared to the resources that Qin Haodong had exchanged for from Ning Yuan, the resources that the Phoenix Hall could provide to Li Ziqiang were too limited.
So unless he is willing to increase his investment or encounter some adventures, he is basically going to withdraw from the big stage of the lord battle.
At the same time that Ning Yuan launched a foreign invasion war, Bai Ze and the others were not idle in the Condor plane, they led their respective legions, with the Great Wall as the central point, and expanded wildly around.
This expansion was decided by Ning Yuan, Bai Ze and others after joint research.
The purpose of this expansion was not to occupy any land, not to conquer the outside population, and not to plunder any resources, but to drive the indigenous tribes away from the Condor.
The reason for this decision is entirely to prepare for the future of Kiyono.
While these indigenous tribes may become a worry for the invaders, it is more likely that they will become allies or even puppets of the invaders.
As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
These indigenous tribes outside the Condor Territory have always regarded the Condor Territory as the greatest threat, so when the Condor Territory's enemies appear, they are likely to reach various agreements with the other party for cooperation.
Even if the invading Player Lords don't think about their strength, their territories are very useful to the Player Lords, who can occupy their territories and replenish them with strategic materials such as grain and grass.
The existence of these aboriginal tribes is equivalent to supporting the invading player lords in disguise, so Ning Yuan must prepare in advance, drive them away, and rush away from the Condor Territory.
Although the Condor Leader of this sweep is all newly formed legions, due to the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides, the whole operation is not an exaggeration.
In less than a month, the aboriginal tribes around the Condor Territory were swept away, and there were basically no people within a hundred miles.
Although the purpose of this operation was not to plunder the population, when the enemy surrendered, it was impossible for Bai Ze and the others not to accept it, so after the whole operation, Bai Ze and the others still brought a lot of population resources to the Condor Territory.
70,000 elven rangers, 110,000 Terran warriors, 100,000 dwarven warriors, 140,000 elven civilians, 250,000 Terran civilians, 160,000 dwarven civilians, a total population of 830,000.
In fact, if Bai Ze and the others had the heart, they could still plunder more people, but the territory of the Condor Territory was limited after all, and now it was close to saturation, so Ning Yuan could only drive these aborigines away for the time being.
When Ning Yuan came back from the outside invasion, Bai Ze and the others' sweep operation was basically over, and next, Ning Yuan was going to achieve another strategic goal.
