The players were a highly efficient group.
In fact, for any normal person, as long as they had a clear goal and enough motivation, they would explode with powerful actions.
However, in most cases, people lived in a muddle-headed way without enough self-control or execution. Therefore, all kinds of things in the real world were always delayed and complicated when they were put into action.
This was also the biggest difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people.
Of course, in the game, the game system helped the players set goals, and the game rewards provided the players with sufficient motivation. Here, even the most lazy person in the real world would subconsciously increase their efficiency.
Under the layers of superposition, the resulting action was terrifying.
In the real world, if one wanted to assemble an army of 100,000 people in the middle ages and prepare all kinds of war resources, it would be impossible without at least ten days to half a month. It would be normal for it to take a month or even a few months.
However, with the encouragement of the game system, in less than three days, the players had prepared enough supplies to support an army of a hundred thousand for a month's worth of battles.
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of efficiency.
All kinds of war resources were piled up inside and outside Gray Harbor, such as various kinds of spare standard equipment, arrows needed by archers, and mass-produced magic stone bombs.
There were also various kinds of dry food processed from various crops, various kinds of fruits that were kept fresh with natural magic, and even some brewed ale and fruit wine were piled up in carts.
These were only the public war resources prepared by the various guilds. If the players' personal items were included, there would be even more.
After five years of development, the Elven Forest had finally formed a huge production capacity. At this moment, it was operating at full capacity for the same goal, and the effect was amazing.
Before the troops and horses moved, the provisions moved first. This was a vivid demonstration by the players.
However, the mission system didn't give a specific date for the battle this time. It only officially started when the number of people who signed up reached 100,000.
After the players' discussion and taking into consideration the wishes of the mission's delegator, Sophia, the battle date was set to one week after the start of the mission.
Of course, it was Segers' time.
In Bluestar time, it was almost two days later.
This was also to give the players time to prepare and adjust.
After the previous few large-scale war missions, everyone understood that this kind of war storyline was quite time-consuming. They had to adjust the game time and plan the personnel of each army in advance according to the time when different participants could come online. This was to avoid the situation where players were not online on a large scale during the battle.
That was possible.
For example, if there was a battle during the day on a weekday, the number of people participating in the battle would be very awkward.
So … in the previous few large-scale war missions, the players often chose to attack during the weekend in reality.
Fortunately, it was summer vacation in Bluestar. For the majority of students, it was a good time to go out on missions.
Among the players of Elf Nation, most of them were university students who had the most free time. Summer vacation was the best time to play games.
While they were preparing their supplies, the players who still had room to grow in strength began to frantically grind dungeons, intending to increase their strength as much as possible before the war officially began.
Of course, this was a story for another day.
In short, a hidden mission could be considered to have completely mobilized the strength of the entire server.
Even the discussion on the official forum was flooded with topics related to this war mission. There were requests to purchase all kinds of supplies, recruitment, elaboration of battle plans, popular science about the current situation of the human empire, and everything else.
Amidst such intense preparations for war, it was finally the day that the Player Operations Division planned to launch their attack …
…
Elf Forest, Gray Harbor Pier.
A merchant ship flying the flag of the lily of the valley slowly docked and lowered the sail.
The white sail slowly retracted, and the sailors jumped off the ship and fixed the ship with ropes.
Some civilians in ragged clothes also walked onto the deck and breathed in the fresh air. They looked curiously and enviously at the Elf City on the shore.
They were all civilians fleeing from the Maple Leaf Territory, and their final destination was the northern part of the empire.
Accompanied by a few sailors, a well-dressed merchant walked down from the ship. He looked around the pier, and when he saw an Elf on duty at the pier management office, his eyes lit up slightly.
He took a few steps forward, wriggling his fat body as he jogged to the front of the Elf, panting as he spoke in a flattering and passionate manner.
"This … Lord Elf! I'm Erich, the president of the Silver Lily Chamber of Commerce. I want to replenish my supplies at Gray Harbor. "
Hearing his words, the Elf raised his head and glanced at him.
"Silver Lily Chamber of Commerce? Transporting refugees again? "
"Yes, yes, this war is chaotic, and business is not good. I can only do this."
Erich wiped his sweat and sighed.
The Elf didn't say much. He nodded gently and said,
"Do you understand the rules?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Erich nodded repeatedly and took out a piece of parchment from his chest.
"This is what we saw and heard along the way in the Maple Leaf Territory. Recently, the Maple Leaf Territory has been very chaotic. It's getting more and more chaotic … It's said that the Earl of the Border has begun to bloodily force the people to convert … Oh, no, I should call him Maple Emperor now …"
The Elf took the parchment with the information written on it and read it carefully. He quietly took a screenshot and sent it to the guild group. He nodded.
"Okay, no problem. You can go now."
After that, he wrote a note to the merchant and said,
"Give the note and the payment to the guards at the dock. When the time comes, someone will deliver the supplies to you."
"Thank you, Lord Elf!"
Erich was overjoyed.
He happily kept the note and glanced at the heavily guarded dock, as well as the elven mercenaries in the city that were obviously more numerous than usual. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?
"That … Lord Elf, did something happen in Gray Harbor? Why do I feel like there are more and more mercenaries? "
However, he only received a meaningful smile from the Elf.
"You'll know later."
"Later … Later?"
Erich was slightly stunned.
He looked at the Elf, but the other party seemed unwilling to say more. In the end, he could only give up asking.
However, when he couldn't help but look at Gray Harbor City, he became more and more curious.
"Could it be that another elven mercenary was hired by the empire?"
He muttered.
He handed over the note and the payment for the goods to the elven guards at the port. Soon, elves pushing carts brought the supplies over.
However, Erich keenly noticed that the speed of delivery today seemed to be very fast …
"So fast? Was it prepared in advance? "
He frowned doubtfully.
Looking at the heavily guarded dock and the obviously abnormal number of elven mercenaries, Erich's heart skipped a beat. He remembered some rumors he heard recently …
It was said that the Elven Forest seemed to have recently purchased a large number of warhorses and equipment from the underground black market. It seemed like something big was going to happen.
In addition to the intelligence gathering of the Maple Leaf Territory …
Could it be … A war was going to happen?
Could it be the Maple Leaf Territory?
Erich's expression changed slightly.
He heard that the empire had extended an olive branch to the Elven Forest some time ago.
However, it seemed like the Elven Forest rejected it.
This was the news given by the empire. However, he was well-informed and knew that there seemed to be more to it.
However, he glanced at the boats on the shore and quickly shook his head.
No …
It shouldn't be.
The world's largest river, the Vimur River, spanned between the Elven Forest and the Maple Leaf Territory.
If there was really something big going on, the elves would have prepared all kinds of ferries. However, although there were more boats at the dock than usual, it wasn't much more.
However, although Erich rejected his own idea, he still recorded what he saw in Gray Harbor. He planned to sell it for a good price when he returned to the northern part of the empire.
Taking advantage of both sides and reselling information, this was the usual practice of the black market merchants.
However, just as he secretly recorded what he saw in the pocket-sized notebook, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar from the direction of Gray Harbor.
It seemed like thousands of people were shouting at the same time. The sound was so loud that even the dock under his feet trembled slightly.
Erich's expression changed slightly. He quickly looked in the direction of the city. He didn't know what was happening in the city, but he vaguely heard the elven words such as "goddess" and "glory".
The next moment, accompanied by a burst of exclamations, Erich suddenly felt the sky darkening.
"Oh my God! What's that?! "
"Monster, is that a monster?!"
Following the exclamations of the people, Erich subconsciously looked at the sky and saw a huge oval-shaped object flying over from the city of Gray Harbor …
It was about a few hundred meters from the ground. It was huge and was black and white. There was a Black Dragon emblem and a scepter symbol engraved on the side.
It was the Zeppelin airship created by the players.
Erich didn't know what an airship was.
However, when he saw such a huge object, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim in a low voice.
"Oh my God, what … is that?"
There were no wings and no magic light.
However, it was flying in the sky …
This kind of existence that transcended common sense shocked Erich, and at the same time, he was filled with astonishment.
The airship was just the beginning.
After the airship flew overhead, Erich heard the roar of a dragon and the cry of an eagle …
He subconsciously looked at the horizon again, only to see countless densely packed figures appear behind the "behemoth."
They were flying magical beasts.
There were giant eagles, griffins, and Megalosaurus …
There were thousands of them as far as the eye could see!
Each flying magical beast was riding on at least one elf. They followed behind the airship and covered the entire sky.
They arranged themselves in a scattered formation and slowly flew in the direction of the Maple Leaf Territory.
Erich looked at this scene in a daze, and he was shocked.
He didn't react until Sailor nudged him.
"Lord Erich, look! Look at the city! "
Sailor pointed to Gray Harbor City and said.
Erich shuddered and then looked in the direction Sailor pointed. He saw a large number of fully armed elves on the streets of the city.
Most of them were wearing the same standard equipment, riding horses or various kinds of magical beasts. They were escorting a beautiful statue of a holy goddess that was shining brilliantly and rushing toward the shore in a grandiose manner.
The endless line of people made Erich's heart skip a beat.
At this time, if he still didn't know what the elves were doing, he would have wasted his years in the Black Market.
"Maple Leaf Territory, their target must be the Maple Leaf Territory!"
His expression was slightly excited.
But soon, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
The elves that just flew by were fine.
What were these elven knights doing on the shore?
He looked around and didn't see any extra ferries on the shore.
Erich's doubts didn't last long.
Surrounded by elves, he saw a half-elf girl wearing a priest dress come to the shore.
The girl looked familiar. Erich felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't recognize her.
Until the sailor who was traveling with him exclaimed and recalled his memory.
"Miss Sophia! Lord Erich, isn't this the 'Pearl' of Zeloran, Miss Sophia?! "
Sophia …!
Thinking of this name, Erich finally understood.
But soon, he was shocked.
She was really in the Elven Forest?
What was she doing?
Erich looked curiously at the half-elf girl who was surrounded by elves, and his face was filled with shock.
Then, he saw the girl suddenly kneel down and put her hands in front of her chest. She clenched a scepter-like necklace and closed her eyes to pray.
Bright light gathered on her body and turned into countless golden photons.
Under Erich's shocked gaze, the earth suddenly trembled, and the soil on the shore suddenly flew up. A green vine grew out of it.
The vine grew bigger and bigger, and at the same time, it kept branching, sprouting, and spreading toward the sky and the other side of the river.
In just a moment, a huge "bridge" made of vines appeared in the sky above the Vimur River.
Erich looked at this scene in a daze, and his mouth opened wide in shock.
"Miracle … This … This is a miracle! She actually became a god-favored one! "
He suddenly turned his head and stared at the elves who were beginning to move toward the vine bridge. He finally understood why there were no ferries on the shore.
With this vine bridge, the elves didn't need ferries at all!
The miracle appeared, the priests joined the battle, and the long line of elves held up the holy and beautiful statue of the Goddess of Life.
At this moment, the knowledgeable Erich suddenly understood.
"Holy War! This is the Holy War! The elves are going to wage a Holy War against the Maple Leaf Territory! "
