Under everyone's combined attack, Cloud Street City was successfully captured!
The moment the city was captured, a broadcast message appeared in the center of the screen. All the players in the server could see it clearly.
[Congratulations to Dragon Conquering the World for capturing Cloud Street City (5)!]
The Alliance channel was immediately filled with cheers and laughter.
"Wow, we captured it! Awesome!"
"Amazing! They fought so fast. It took them less than ten minutes to finish!"
"The troops are retreating, the recruits are sleeping!"
Even in the World Channel, there were many players from other states who were congratulating him.
The Guild Master sent a group message: "Everyone, you've worked hard. If you have the ability, you can attack the other cities in Cloud Street City and increase taxes. Tomorrow, we'll continue to attack Jade Gate City. The day after tomorrow, we'll attack Level 4 Anyi City. Everyone, prepare in advance. "
The Strongholds around Cloud Street City began to retreat. All the players moved their main forces back to their own cities to replenish their depleted forces. At the same time, many paving troops had also gone to Yumen City and Anyi City, preparing to build fortresses and grab a good position for the siege later.
In the Alliance chat group, many players were also discussing.
"This city doesn't feel as difficult as I thought. There are so many people, so it's fast."
"It's mainly because we've done our homework. We've studied all the ways in this place. If we didn't prepare well, we wouldn't have been able to fight so smoothly."
"That's right, we need to build the Stronghold in advance, and we also need to have enough siege troops."
"Okay, everyone, good luck. Tomorrow, we'll attack a few more cities and try to unify Liangzhou as soon as possible!"
After capturing Cloud Street City, everyone was very excited.
This kind of group activity was the best way to increase unity. Moreover, Edge of the Earth's siege was different from other national wars. Everyone was required to participate. High level players needed to send out their main forces to destroy the defenders. Normal players also needed to form siege troops to increase the durability of the city's defenses. Without enough people, they wouldn't be able to take the city.
Attacking cities in the early stages was actually to train the players and improve the entire Alliance's organization and discipline in preparation for the State War later.
After a while, the Guild Master spoke in the chat group.
"Everyone, remember my phone number. If there's anything, you can call me directly, no matter the time."
Zheng Hongxi: "So dedicated?"
The Alliance Master typed, "It's not dedication. In this game, if the Guild Master is killed, then the entire Guild will fall, so my city cannot be ambushed. So, everyone, keep an eye on him. If there's any sign of trouble, contact me immediately. "
Zheng Hongxi was a little surprised. There was such a rule?
In the end, he checked and found that there really was one.
In this game, players could attack other players at will. As long as they destroyed all the players' troops and reduced the durability of the player's city to 0, the player would enter a [Fallen] state.
After entering the Fallen state, the player would become the attacker's vassal, unable to retaliate. Moreover, the player's land could be used as a springboard by the attacker.
In addition, there was a special rule. If the Alliance Master fell, then all the members of the Alliance would fall as well.
It could be said that once they fell into the enemy's hands, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. At that time, they would be at the mercy of others. That was why the Alliance Master of [Dragonzhan] was so careful. He even gave everyone his phone number so that they could contact him at any time.
…
The current situation in Liangzhou was basically a competition between the two Alliances, [Dragonzhan] and [Who Says That Has No Clothes]. The other small Alliances had already submitted.
This was also decided by the gameplay itself. Because in the gameplay and daily activities of [Trend of the World], if the Alliance occupied more cities, then every player would receive a large number of jade talismans as a reward.
The bigger the Alliance, the more rewards. This setting stimulated the Alliance to continuously merge. Players were all willing to join the bigger Alliance to seek better rewards.
There were also some unaffiliated players who didn't care about the rewards. However, these people would quickly find it harder and harder to continue playing. Sooner or later, they would still join the big Alliance.
Strictly speaking, the two Alliances, [Dragonzhan] and [Who Says That Has No Clothes], were currently competitors and enemies. This was because the cities in Liangzhou were limited. If one occupied it, then the other couldn't.
However, these two Alliances were currently in a state of peace. This was because everyone was still in the development stage. Once a war broke out, it would be a long and drawn-out battle. Everyone's development would be affected and it was very likely that both sides would suffer.
In the chat group, the diplomat of [Dragonzhan] specially instructed everyone not to fight the people of [Who Says That Has No Clothes] to avoid misunderstandings. If there were any disputes, they would immediately seek management to mediate.
…
During this period of time, Zheng Hongxi's territory was also getting bigger and bigger. He could already conquer Level Four land relatively smoothly. The amount of resources had suddenly increased by a lot.
In [Shores of the Unyielding Earth], Level Four and Level Six land were two of the bigger choke points. Players basically had to change all their land to Level Three land before they could challenge Level Four land. Moreover, they would suffer a lot.
However, this also reflected the design thinking of this game. Land resources were getting scarcer and scarcer, and high-level land was getting harder and harder to find. In the future, if they wanted more land, they would have to fight for it. After they finished fighting for their own state, they would have to fight for other states. Naturally, they would start fighting.
Currently, the goal of the [Dragonzhan] Guild was relatively clear. It was to develop first. They would start fighting in Level Three small cities and become the world's general trend.
…
After playing for a few days, Zheng Hongxi realized that most of the people in the Alliance were night owls.
Actually, these players weren't born night owls. It was mainly because they had played [Shores of the Unyielding Earth] too much that they naturally became night owls.
Many activities in this game were timed in units of "hours". For example, upgrading a certain high-level building, recruiting a large number of troops, conquering a very distant land, and so on. It often took several hours to complete.
What if it happened to be completed late at night?
For example, recruiting troops. If the troops were depleted, they would need to recruit more troops before they could continue. The recruitment would end at two in the morning. Of course, it was fine if you didn't care about it. However, if you woke up at eight and your general's stamina happened to be full, then the stamina recovered in these six hours would be equivalent to a waste.
In order to save resources, most players would choose to go online at two in the morning. They would use up some stamina after two expeditions, then sleep and wait for their stamina to naturally recover the next day.
It was the same for building. If the construction was completed in the early hours of the morning, and you didn't build a new building, then there would be a construction queue empty in these few hours. It was equivalent to a waste.
Therefore, most players naturally became night owls as they played. In fact, some of the more hardcore players would even set an alarm clock to wake up on time to play. After playing for ten minutes or so, they would finish everything before going back to sleep.
It was the same for Zheng Hongxi. One day, his alarm clock rang at two in the morning.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Zheng Hongxi touched his phone and opened [Shores of the Unyielding Earth]. He was prepared to go online to upgrade buildings and sweep a few Level Four lands to exhaust his general's stamina.
However, he noticed a red line on the map.
"Hmm?"
At first, Zheng Hongxi didn't pay much attention to it. However, he inadvertently realized that this red line seemed to be heading in the direction of the Alliance Master.
