......
After learning that the owner of the Ancient Tree of War was Ning Yuan, the fifth villain in the Huaxia District, the adventurer players finally chose to give up the idea of continuing to fight Ning Yuan.
Although they are not afraid of death, they still understand that persimmons should be soft to pinch.
Since the other party is Ning Yuan's army, then they can't continue to fight Ning Yuan, after all, when Ning Yuan led the adventurer army in the Huaxia District before, how brave he was, many players saw it.
Although Ning Yuan is theoretically the enemy of all players who are not in the Huaxia Region, since he is the enemy of all players, why do they have to deal with Ning Yuan?
So after giving themselves a reasonable excuse, the adventurer players immediately shifted their focus to the other player lords.
The news that Ning Yuan had entered the open world again quickly spread in the open world, after all, Ning Yuan had brought painful defeats to players in the non-Huaxia region.
However, it is not their responsibility to deal with Ning Yuan, and they do not have the ability to deal with Ning Yuan, so many people are waiting for the Crusaders to come out and kick Ning Yuan out of the open world again, so players have petitioned the Crusaders on the forum.
George Richard didn't bother to bother with the players' petitions.
The Crusaders do have the ability to kick Ning Yuan out of the open world again, but Ning Yuan did not publicly expel players from other countries this time, so why should they kick Ning Yuan's hard stone for them?
If Ning Yuan still didn't have any decent troops under his command this time, as before, then their crusaders didn't mind selling the player's favor and expanding their influence by the way.
But as we all know, Ning Yuan came prepared for entering the open world this time, in addition to a large number of troops, he also brought a huge ancient tree of war, if they want to kick out such a Ning Yuan, they will also have to pay a great price for the crusaders, but this is not in their interests.
Besides, Ning Yuan obviously came to make a fortune this time, and he didn't shout at them for the crusades, nor did he clash with their people, so they wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble with Ning Yuan for private or public reasons.
......
Hyena Valley was originally the territory of a group of African spotted hyenas, located in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Since it became an open world, the Ban hyenas in Hyena Valley have been slaughtered, and Hyena Valley is now owned by the Northern Alliance, the territory of a group of player lords from Canada and the northern United States.
The Northern Alliance started with thirteen Player Lords, but as the Player Lords discovered the benefits of the open world, more and more Canadian and American Player Lords teleported to the vicinity of Hyena Valley.
The entire Northern Alliance now has fifty-seven Player Lords and an army of seventy-five thousand.
Originally, these Stone Age player lords came here just to snatch some weapons from the adventurer players, and then go back with these weapons to continue to expand their territory.
However, due to their weak strength and weakness here, they had no choice but to join the Northern Alliance in order not to become the prey of others.
Although the Northern Alliance is a loose alliance organization, since it is an alliance, there must be certain rules, after all, there are no rules, and this is not a charity hall, and the player lords can come and go if they want.
There aren't many rules in the Northern Alliance, the most important of which is that the player lord can quit halfway, but must surrender half of his weapons.
After all, the main purpose of everyone coming here is to get weapons, and after you get a weapon, pat your ass and leave, so what will the other player lords in the alliance do?
The principle of spoils distribution in the Northern Alliance is also very fair, that is, whoever produces more soldiers and the strength of the army under his command will take the lion's share.
When all the player lords in the alliance have obtained a sufficient number of weapons, they can freely withdraw from the alliance, and those who quit before this must spit out half of the number of weapons to compensate the other player lords.
Of course, the new player lords are not within the scope of compensation, after all, it is impossible for the player lords who joined at the beginning to wait for them, so they are considered the second and third batches, and the first batch has nothing to do with them.
The main purpose of the player lords to form this alliance is to get a sufficient number of weapons, as for the dragon soul or something, it is all a by-product, because their main goal now is to quickly enter the Bronze Age.
The Northern Alliance has been battling adventurer players to win and lose, and although each lord player has lost a lot of troops to a greater or lesser extent, they have managed to get a lot of weapons.
Most of the first batch of Player Lords have returned with a full load, and the Player Lords who are still here belong to the second and third batches.
For Ning Yuan to enter the open world again, the people of the Northern Alliance also got the news, but because Ning Yuan and the Adventurer Player Legion fought two battles in a row, many people thought that Ning Yuan was here to simply hunt the dragon soul this time.
They didn't particularly care about Ning Yuan's actions, even if they saw that tall ancient war tree constantly moving in their direction, they couldn't attract enough attention from them.
Because around Kilimanjaro, the distribution density of players is the largest, and it is normal for Ning Yuan to want to come here to get a piece of the pie.
The people of the Northern Alliance continued to hunt early and return late every day, until one day they looked up and saw that the huge ancient war tree was getting closer and closer to the Hyena Valley where they were stationed.
However, it was already too late at this time, because Ning Yuan's cavalry troops had already blocked the surrounding area of the Hyena Valley. If they withdrew now, they would face a relentless pursuit by the enemy's cavalry.
Moreover, this is the base of their entire Northern Alliance, and they are very unwilling to leave like this, so after urgent consultations, everyone unanimously decided to use the advantage of the city wall to fight a defensive counterattack with the enemy.
The Hyena Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people of the Northern Alliance have built a simple five-meter-high city wall at the mouth of the valley, sealing the entire valley, so they still have a certain confidence in fighting a battle with Ning Yuan.
If it had been before, Ning Yuan would definitely have a headache facing the five-meter-high city wall, because he didn't carry any siege equipment.
However, at this time, he didn't have any worries, because he had the big killer weapon of the War Ancient Tree, and the five-meter-high city wall was not even a small dirt bag in front of the War Ancient Tree.
Why did Ning Yuan send cavalry to block the surrounding area of the Hyena Valley first? Aren't you worried that the player lords in Hyena Valley will scatter before the War Ancient Tree gets there?
So he smirked when he saw that the Northern Alliance was preparing to take the valley and be punctual.
In order to continue to hold off the enemy and give the War Ancient Tree time to hurry, Ning Yuan directly sent most of the army out, let them block the valley mouth, and pretended to attack the city.
Every day, under the cover of heavy infantry, the elven rangers would snipe the defenders who showed their heads on the walls, and if no one showed up, they would shoot several waves of arrows into the walls before retreating to the barracks.
For five days in a row, the Condor Legion was dry and thundering and not raining, and the soldiers didn't even touch the edge of the city wall.
In the face of such an insincere feint, the player lords of the Northern Alliance quickly realized that something was wrong, and they knew that Ning Yuan had fallen for it.
However, it was almost impossible to break through the enemy's wall of hoplites.
"What to do? I didn't expect that Ning Yuan's slut to play such a hand, if he waited until the ancient tree of war came over, I am afraid that the city wall at the mouth of the valley would have no effect. β
"Hey, that's careless, who would have thought that a guy who dared to charge up single-handedly in the face of a heavy cavalry formation would also play conspiracy, the only way now is to find the weakness of the ancient tree of war, and then destroy it when it arrives."
"Do you know what weaknesses the Ancient Tree of War has?"
"I don't know, because the War Ancient Tree is so rare, and this is the first time I've seen the War Ancient Tree.
However, I guess it is afraid of fire, so as long as we send a death squad to throw the greased dry wood under the ancient war tree, and then set it on fire, we should be able to hit it hard. β
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure it's going to work, but there's really no good way to do it right now, so I'm going to have to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor."
"I don't approve of using this method, because once the War Ancient Tree is not afraid of fire, then we will have to be wiped out, so we should break through in time while the War Ancient Tree has not arrived, although this will lose this base, but it is better than the total annihilation."
"How to break through? If we can break through, we will break through on the first day, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in the enemy's formation, in the open steppe, how can we escape the pursuit of those cavalry, you want to go out and send yourself to death, anyway, I will not leave my back to those cavalry. β
"Yes, Brand has a point, have you forgotten what is in the sky? With those pesky birdmen following, we can't escape the pursuit of Ning Yuan's cavalry at all.
In fact, many of you had already thought at the beginning that Ning Yuan might use the War Ancient Tree to attack the city.
It's just that at that time, they all thought that the War Ancient Tree was still too far away from here, and with Ning Yuan's character, he was very likely to attack the city directly without waiting for the War Ancient Tree, so everyone was ready to fight a battle to defend the city.
"In fact, from the moment everyone decided to stay, they should have been ready to face the War Ancient Tree, so now let's stop arguing about those useless things, let's think about how to deal with that War Ancient Tree.
Even if we are wiped out in the end, we can't cheapen Ning Yuan in vain, if we can kill that ancient tree of war, presumably Ning Yuan will be very heartbroken. β
......
Just as those lord players of the Northern Alliance were pondering how to deal with the War Ancient Tree, the hundred-meter-tall War Ancient Tree finally arrived in the Hyena Valley.
Previously, the players of the Northern Alliance had only seen the War Ancient Tree from a distance, so although they thought that the War Ancient Tree was very large, they did not have a clear impression.
When the Ancient Tree of War walked to the Valley of the Hyenas, facing the Ancient Tree of War that covered the sky, the players of the Northern Alliance finally felt a deep despair.
At this moment, they all silently overturned the methods they had thought of to deal with the War Ancient Tree before, because in the face of such a behemoth, those methods were too childish, and it was impossible to hurt the War Ancient Tree.
In fact, if the people of the Northern Alliance found out that Ning Yuan's target was the Hyena Valley, as long as they were willing to disperse and evacuate, then some of them would still be able to escape safely.
After all, cavalry is not omnipotent, and they have to chase their targets one by one, and it takes a lot of time each time, so there will always be some lucky players who can escape the pursuit of cavalry.
But unfortunately, even if they understood this truth, no one wanted to be the unlucky one, so they finally decided to stay together and fight together.
And from the moment they decided to stay, their fate was already sealed, because Ning Yuan would never give them a chance to escape again.
In his eyes, these players are all diamond chests and dragon souls, so he must wipe them all out no matter what.
When the Ancient Tree of War slowly walked to the front of the city wall, the elven rangers who had returned to the Ancient Tree of War immediately rained down a rain of arrows, and then in a roar and screams, the Northern Alliance's city wall position was completely lost.
In the face of the huge Ancient Tree of War, the players of the Northern Alliance were desperate, but they still organized a large-scale fire attack.
They organized a death squad, which then braved a rain of arrows to transport dry firewood smeared with animal fat to the base of the ancient tree of war and set it on fire.
While they were praying for a miracle, a picture appeared that made everyone feel hopeless.
I saw that the leaves on the ancient tree of war kept shaking, and then countless water droplets dripped from the leaves, and these water droplets instantly converged into a torrential rain.
This sudden rainstorm not only extinguished the flames on the ground, but also poured the elven rangers in the trees to the heart, and even poured the morale of the Northern Alliance to the bottom.
The people of the Northern Alliance didn't think about it either, if the War Ancient Tree was afraid of flames, Ning Yuan would definitely place heavy troops around it to protect its safety.
Now that there is no one near it, it is obvious that Ning Yuan has absolute confidence in its defense capabilities, after all, this thing is very rare, and it is impossible for Ning Yuan not to care about its life and death.
As for the weaknesses of the War Ancient Tree, that is something that only the Mushu is qualified to know, and if you want the War Ancient Tree to have weaknesses, you must meet a series of conditions in advance.
That's why Ning Yuan is so fearless, because according to Alice, the War Ancient Tree doesn't have any weaknesses except for walking slower.
With the fall of the walls and the failure of the fire attack, the players of the Northern Alliance no longer had the confidence to resist, and they fled with their armies in the other three directions of the valley, trying to escape through the other three mountains.
However, since the Hyena Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the other three high mountains must be very steep and difficult to climb, otherwise the enemy can completely bypass the walls of the valley mouth and attack the valley from the mountain.
Frequent climbers know that the most taboo thing to avoid when climbing steep mountains is that there are too many people, because when there are too many people, it will form a congestion, and those at the back of the queue will have to wait a long time to pass.
And now the players of the Northern Alliance are racing against time to escape, and it is absolutely impossible to queue up, so the already easily congested passage has become even more congested.
Many people even fell directly from the top because of panic, and some people were even trapped in the middle of the mountain because they chose the wrong route, and then formed an embarrassing situation that they couldn't go up and couldn't get down.
And at this time, the Swan Man guerrillas, who have always been called scrap wood by players, began to exert their might.
They flew through the sky and began to reap the enemies who tried to flee from the mountains with their elven shortbows.
Although the archery skills of the Swan Man Guerrillas are not as good as those of the Elven Rangers, they can finally achieve a 100-shot hit rate in the face of those barely movable live targets.
Although the aborigines couldn't tell who was the aboriginal and who was the player, Ning Yuan could, he stood on the ancient tree of war, and used a monocular to constantly give orders to the swan man guerrillas beside him.
"See, that guy with a strap on his head, let me shoot him."
"The bearded man who was surrounded by the soldiers was also killed for me, not the bearded man, but the bearded man next to him, yes, the fattest one."
......
In order to be able to quickly kill all the player lords, Ning Yuan deliberately left a wing of swan man guerrillas by his side, and then handed them another monocular, personally designating them to kill targets one by one.
As a result, the player lords who were trapped halfway up the mountain were taken care of by the swanman guerrillas and were shot alive halfway up the mountain.
With the Player Lords dying one after another, the Native soldiers of the Northern Alliance finally gave up their last struggle, throwing away their weapons and kneeling on the ground with their hands raised.
Because there were no other player lords this time, Ning Yuan didn't choose to kill them all, after all, he could only get a dragon soul fragment by killing these soldiers, and the benefit was too small.
After Ning Yuan sent people to take care of those surrendered soldiers, he immediately began to clean up the battlefield.
The Hyena Valley belongs to the outer mountains of Mount Kilimanjaro, and is very close to the main peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, so Ning Yuan intends to make this place a temporary base, and he will be stationed here until he can find a better base.
After disposing of the corpses in the valley, Ning Yuan immediately asked the dwarf soldiers to start building a base, to be precise, it should be the base left behind by the Northern Alliance.
In order to prevent the enemy from infiltrating from the other mountains on three sides, Ning Yuan directly had people destroy those passages that could be climbed, turning the Hyena Valley directly into a desperate valley.
In the renovated Hyena Valley, unless it is a flying race with wings, if you want to enter the valley, everyone has to enter from the side of the valley mouth.
As for the city wall, Ning Yuan just wanted to say that these guys from the Northern Alliance were too lazy.
"This TMD can also be called a city wall."
Seeing the stone wall made of stones piled up haphazardly, Ning Yuan felt that his eyes were insulted.
With stones piled up in a random manner, aren't those soldiers of the Northern Alliance afraid of the sudden collapse of this wall?
Although he was not very satisfied with the city wall built by the Northern Alliance, Ning Yuan didn't want to spend too much effort to build a real city wall here, after all, this was Africa, and he was just a passer-by here, and he was about to leave when the time came.
So he only had one request for the dwarf soldiers, and that was to make this tofu scum project stronger, and then build some female walls and other bunkers on it.
After all, the city wall was a defensive bunker for the defenders' soldiers, and it was impossible for Ning Yuan to let his soldiers stand on it as a live target like the Northern Alliance.
At the same time, in order to prevent the valley from being attacked by the player dragons, Ning Yuan also asked the dwarves to build more than a dozen arrow towers around the valley and a dozen lookout posts on three hills.
In this way, once there is something in the sky, Ning Yuan will be able to get the news as soon as possible.
