Chapter 61: The Imminent War
Da Liang and Julian flew towards Shangjiang City in the west on a royal griffin, and behind them were twenty-five griffons forming a "human" line and following closely.
From time to time, merchant ships sailing with sails propped up appeared on the turquoise seas below, and then they were quickly left behind by the griffons flying in the sky, leaving only the loud eagle cry echoing in the air. Soon after flying, a continuous city appeared on the distant land.
From a long distance, it can be seen that the situation in the Shangjiang area is very tense, and the Pudong fleet and the Chongming fleet have already started a confrontation at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Groups of griffons and pegasus skimmed over the sea between the two fleets, rapidly changing their formations, gathering and scattering at high speeds, climbing and diving, or suddenly changing direction, both air forces were trying to show their excellent fighting qualities, in order to deter the enemy as a friendly force.
Da Liang was deeply shocked by such a scene just by looking at it. Originally, he was still complacent about his victory, but when he saw that there was one person flying among the thousands of air units, he thought that his troops would never be able to do it.
There were too many accidents and too many luck in the battle of Flying Dust Island, and if it weren't for Hell Julian to turn the tide, his army would have been annihilated by the defenders on the island long ago.
From this aspect, it can be seen that military discipline and quality are the advantages of NPC armies, if the player-led army meets the NPC-based army, under the same military strength, the player is the side that is ravaged and annihilated. The player's advantage is to resurrect after death, but the death penalty also makes the player dare not use this advantage at will.
The development strategy of the Black Fire Collar determines that in the future, Daliang's army will be dominated by NPC soldiers, and how to give full play to the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers is definitely not as simple as creating some skeleton whippers and magic mages for magical support.
As Sidney said, the Black Fire Collar needs a large number of hero units, and all kinds of hero units are added to the grassroots level of the army. This can't help but improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and it can also make the army's tactics more flexible, just like the Pudong Fleet and the Chongming Fleet that are now facing each other, this is the real elite.
In order not to be misunderstood, Da Liang led the griffons from the southern sky far away from the struggle to Shangjiang City.
Although the sky of Shangjiang City had been under martial law at this time, Da Liang's griffin did not trigger an attack by the defenders, and a royal griffin knight who flew to inquire immediately and respectfully put him into the city after seeing Da Liang's canonization letter.
The smell of war permeating the entire Shangjiang region has long been smelled by players, but a war of this scale is far from being available to players at this time, because for fear of being affected by a possible battle, players stay away from the banks of the Yangtze River and mainly operate in the west and south of Shangjiang City.
Da Liang landed in the barracks with the griffins, and the status of the Baron directly under the King of the East Sea provided him with great convenience, even if the soldiers he led far exceeded the player's limit in the city, the sergeants here still didn't have any questions.
This barracks is one of the many low-level barracks in Shangjiang City, and it is a military camp that is not open to players, only to the nobles of Shangjiang City. Spearmen, archers, and griffons can be recruited and upgraded here.
With identity verification and payment of gold coins, Da Liang recruited soldiers who could be recruited today.
7 spearmen, 5 archers, 4 griffons. Although it is a little less, it will accumulate into a good scale in the future.
Temporarily placing the soldiers under Julian's command, Da Liang led five griffons in need of an upgrade to the advanced griffon tower.
It was a solid stone recruiting building, and the chirping of griffons could be heard from the top of the tall tower. Here, you can recruit griffons and upgrade them with full combat experience.
The gold coins are paid up, and the griffin upgrade is also very smooth. The five griffons became royal griffins, their size was larger, their hair was more golden and bright, and the eagle feathers that were originally yellow on the front half of their bodies and wings became white, and they looked around with their heads held high and their azure eyes, like a king.
Among the five newly promoted royal griffins, two were slightly larger, and their size was already enough to carry the weight of a person, so Da Liang trained the two royal griffins into mounts after paying another part of the training money.
Finding Dorothy in the friends column, Da Liang paid for the saddle sheath for the two royal griffin mounts, and said to Gu Tao: "Senior Sister Tao, I am now in Shangjiang City, and the griffin has already been brought, and my brother specially picked a big one for you, where are you going to send it to you." ”
Gu Tao quickly replied: "I'm on Chongming Island now, isn't Chongming City the vice city of Shangjiang City, how can I have a good time going to war?" Now that the teleportation arrays on both sides are closed, and the sky is full of Pegasus knights, if you bring a griffin here, I'm afraid you will be attacked by them. ”
Only then did Da Liang realize that the fighting between the two cities had begun to block the traffic to prevent the enemy from raiding his hinterland, and he would definitely not be able to go to Chongming Island by normal means.
Thinking that he still had to attend the ceremony at night, Da Liang only apologized and said, "It's really unfortunate, I still have urgent matters to deal with now." It seems that the matter of giving you a griffin will have to wait until next time. ”
"Then I have to do it next time......" Gu Tao's tone was a little regretful, I don't know if it's because of the griffin or because of something else.
End the conversation with Gu Tao. Da Liang thought that the Chongming Island of the elf clan couldn't get by, and the cheap apprentice he just received was a human race, so it should be around here at this time.
Search for "Broken Moon" to add friends.
Before Da Liang spoke, Shu Xiao said impatiently: "Master...... I thought you had forgotten about me. Now everywhere is in chaos, I see angels flying in the sky, do you say this is going to war? I'm afraid of delaying your business, and I don't dare to talk to you. ”
"Maybe there's going to be a war, where are you? I'm going to send you a griffon. ”
"Griffon! You are so good, you are so good to me, Master. Come on, come on, I'm fighting bear goblins in the south of Shangjiang City***:***, come and teach me how to fight. ”
In Shu Xiao's repeated urging, Da Liang looked at her location and then at the time.
It's quite generous, so let's play with this apprentice for a while.
It seems that since entering the game, my brother has never upgraded his own monsters. Ay...... It's all because my brother is too high-end, and my subordinates have always been doing it, and my brother only needs to take a cut to eat experience. I really miss the time when I used to farm monsters day and night in other games!
Da Liang asked Julian to take the soldiers to wait outside the Pudong Military Port first, while he rode a royal griffin, with a royal griffin mount, and two griffons flew towards Shu Xiao's position.
