The construction principle of the aerial fortress was very similar to that of the floating city. In other words, it was equivalent to a miniature version of the floating city.
It was just that the magic gathering core used was slightly smaller, and there were fewer of them.
As a famous guild in Elven Nation, the aerial fortress of the Mengmeng Committee was definitely one of the larger ones, even among the nearly 300 fortresses in the entire server.
This aerial fortress was called Freya, and it covered an area of about 1000 mu, which was about 0.66 square kilometres, which was equivalent to one-fifteenth of the floating city.
Don't think that 0.66 square kilometres was small. After all, the Celestial Palace only covered an area of 0.72 square kilometres. As an aerial fortress, the Mengmeng Committee's aerial fortress was already quite large.
The smallest aerial fortress in Elven Nation was the Moonlit Knights' Morning Star, which only covered an area of 100 mu.
But even so, the Moonlit Knights could still rely on their own small-scale aerial fortress to go on a killing spree in the process of developing the plane.
Being able to fly in the void naturally meant that it could also fly in the plane. A quasi-Legendary-level fortress was a near-invincible existence in a plane below the mythical level.
It could be said that in the past ten years, even if the planes that had planar passages to the World of Segers were almost completely integrated, the speed at which the players conquered planes did not slow down at all. The biggest contributor to this was the aerial fortress.
Oh, of course, there were also the starships. These things could also fly in the plane. Although their firepower was not comparable to Legends, it was close to that of an adult Megalosaurus.
Enough chit-chat, back to the present.
Seeing Freya, Tony heaved a sigh of relief. This aerial fortress had always been known for its long range. When you could see it, you had already entered its protective range.
As for the Void Pirates …
As long as they were not out of their minds, they would not attack the aerial fortress, even if it was the smallest one.
The reason for this was not only that the aerial fortress' firepower far exceeded that of the starships, but also that every aerial fortress was equipped with a statue of the goddess.
Once the defensive barrier of the divine spell was activated, it meant that the goddess was protecting it. Anyone who attacked it would be an enemy of the goddess and would be warned with a red name.
Following close to 20 starships, Tony's starship sailed into Freya's spaceport.
The spaceport was the symbol of a stronghold. It was located on the periphery of the stronghold. For example, the Freya could accommodate up to 60 standard starships.
However, they had to pay for parking and resupplying. Even if they wanted to take a free ride back, they had to pay.
Fortunately, Tony himself was a high-level player of the Mengmeng Committee, and the starship had been registered in his own guild, so he did not need to charge a parking fee. He only paid a symbolic 10% discount for the teleportation fee, and the supplies were also half price for internal members.
After parking the starship, most of the players boarded the fortress. There were bars and other leisure facilities in the fortress. There was even a small temple where one could open the Exchange Shop. Whether it was resting or farming for Contribution Points, one could do it here.
As for Tony … After instructing the crew to check the condition of the starship, he too boarded the fortress. However, he did not go to the bar or the temple. Instead, he went straight to the command room of the fortress.
Along the way, they could often see NPCs coming and going.
Like the starship, there were many professional NPCs in the sky fortress who were responsible for the maintenance and operation of the fortress. This was also a choice that the players gradually made after the first voyage of the floating city.
After all … apart from the commanding captain, maintenance and operation were time-consuming and energy-consuming. These were not things that the players liked to do.
Hard work could be done by manual labor. Among them, the half-elf NPCs were especially popular.
They were loyal and not as inflexible as the elves. Moreover, they were smart and could be used as a fighting force when necessary.
The disadvantage was probably the cost.
Elves and half-elves were not many compared to other races, and most of them preferred a stable life over adventure.
This problem could only be solved by increasing the remuneration.
Of course, there were also players who took a different approach.
For example, Demacia and Bi 'an of Nature's Heart. These two, who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Church of Life, simply set up "priest internships" and "knight internships" in their own guild's stronghold. They were free labor for the NPCs who wanted to become Life Priests or Life Knights.
The disadvantage was also obvious. The NPCs in the stronghold would choose to leave when the "internship period" was over, so there was a large turnover of maintenance personnel in the stronghold.
There were pros and cons.
With the core member pass, Tony's journey was smooth. The NPCs who saw him all bowed respectfully to him.
Tony had long since become accustomed to this.
To be honest … this feeling of being treated with respect was quite satisfying, even if the other party was an NPC.
The command room of the Freya was much larger than the captain's room of Tony's own starship. It was located at the core of the stronghold and also at the highest position. From there, one could overlook the entire stronghold in the sky and observe the surroundings.
The command room was about 800 square meters in size, like a small palace.
There were people coming and going in the room, both NPCs and players.
However, the stronghold was not open now, so everyone was very idle. Tony even saw a few elven NPCs and players playing werewolves in the corner.
Seeing Tony enter, many players and NPCs greeted him. He was considered a regular here, so everyone was familiar with him.
Tony also smiled and returned the greeting.
Those who could work in the command room, even if they were NPCs, were definitely fanatical believers. Elves of this level, if placed outside, would definitely attract a large group of low-level bootlickers.
Bootlickers have everything. This saying was very appropriate in front of the elven NPCs in Elven Nation.
Tony did not stop and walked straight to the captain's seat in the command room.
There, leaning against the chair was an elegant female elf.
Her appearance was not outstanding among the players, but she was very pleasing to the eye. She had a unique temperament that made it difficult for people to look away.
Under the soft magic light, she was flipping through a thick book, quietly reading.
Tony glanced at the book, but could not see the title.
However, from the other books piled up beside her seat, it should be a history book or travel book of a human country in another plane.
This was rare. Most of the human countries in the different planes of the Segers universe did not pay much attention to historical records. Only some mages or churches would record such things, and the churches' records were often incidental. They preferred to record the history of their own religion.
However, if one could find something similar, the content would sometimes be quite interesting.
Especially the ones written by mages, they could be read as storybooks and customs. Some mages who liked to eat even wrote gourmet miscellanies that made people drool.
After retracting his thoughts, Tony took a deep breath and revealed a bright smile.
"Good afternoon! Miss Wind. "
Wind.
The most mysterious high-end player in Elven Nation. She was also one of the very few closed beta players in the game.
She had a good relationship with all the major NPCs. Even the Black Dragon King Merril, who was always arrogant and only willing to communicate with Salty Meow, could chat and laugh with her.
The myths in the Elven Forest were all related to her.
In the entire Elven Nation, other than the number one bootlicker, Li Mu, she was the only one who could do this.
However, she was most well known for her hobby of guiding younger players.
When Tony completed the ascension mission in the World of Dawn, he had received guidance from her.
At that time, he was hesitating whether to specialize in Guardian or Ranger. In the end, it was Wind who gave him the best advice. According to his personal habits, he chose the weapon specialization that was more suitable.
Later on, Tony was able to stand out from the other players because of this.
She specially suggested him a development path that belonged to him. Tony just leveled up and learned step by step. Soon, he surpassed the players who entered the pit earlier than him.
He was able to become one of the top 5,000 high-end players in the entire server because of Wind.
Therefore … he had always respected this mysterious Chinese female player and regarded her as a mentor in the game.
Oh, this player's nickname in Elven Nation was also "Mentor". A large group of people in her personal space asked for guidance, and there was no lack of people who were ranked higher than Tony.
By the way, Wind's overall ranking among the players in the game was seventh in the entire server.
This was because she did not farm much and her contribution ranking was low, which affected her overall rating. Otherwise … Tony believed that she might be able to reach first place.
Hearing Tony's voice, Wind gently closed the book.
She looked up, smiled, and nodded elegantly.
Tony was in a daze.
Say, they were all Elven Chosen, but why was her posture so elegant and noble? She gave people a fresh and holy sense of beauty that made people feel ashamed of their inferiority.
And some people were obviously better at pinching faces, but when they spoke, they made people want to facepalm?
For example … the guys playing Werewolf next to her.
Hey, hey, hey! That girl over there! You're an Elven Chosen! Don't yell and play games while crossing your legs and scratching your feet!
Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, Tony sighed in his heart.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
He felt more and more that Wind was precious.
In reality, she must be a well-educated, elegant, and noble lady!
Thinking so, Tony's expression became more respectful.
He smiled slightly and said,
"Miss Wind, I came back from this mission and brought some specialties from the Continent of Caradia. I heard that you are this year's Captain Freya, so I sent them to you."
The Captain of the Mengmeng Committee's Sky Fortress changed once a year. Of course … in the game world.
If converted to the real world, it would be three months.
You could sign up by yourself, but you had to pass the assessment. The assessment was very harsh. Just meeting the conditions could eliminate most people.
Of course, in most cases, it was a few experienced players in the upper echelons of the Mengmeng Committee who took turns.
This year, it happened to be Wind.
As he spoke, Tony took out a space ring from his arms and took out bags of fruits and various snacks.
They were all delicious food.
One of Player Wind's hobbies was delicious food. This was also known by the entire server.
The other one was to travel.
She could be considered as a big shot player's fan of scenery!
Tony even suspected that the biggest reason why she, who always liked freedom, was willing to be the Captain of the Sky Fortress for a year was to be able to drive the Sky Fortress for a ride.
"Thank you."
Wind did not refuse. Instead, she smiled slightly and put away the specialties.
But then, she turned around and said to an Elven NPC who was waiting on the other side,
"This time, Mr. Tony's expenses in the Sky Fortress are all free of charge. Put it on my account."
"No need! No need! This is a little token of my appreciation. Aren't we friends? "
Tony quickly waved his hand.
Wind smiled slightly and did not answer.
Tony sighed softly and chose to accept it in the end.
Wind was like this. Every time you wanted to give her a gift, she would naturally return the gift.
However, he was already used to it.
Wind was also a famous person in the entire server. She had many suitors. It was probably because of this that she was never willing to accept gifts for free.
Of course, Tony was more respectful and did not mean to do that.
He was a bit of a male chauvinist and had a strong desire to protect. He liked cute girls who needed to rely on. For a real big shot like Wind who could do whatever she wanted and nothing could stop her, he only had respect for her.
After giving the gift, it was considered to have opened the topic. Wind stopped reading and Tony took the opportunity to talk with her.
They mainly talked about the various things he had seen in the World of Caradia this time, as well as some information about the World of Segers and the World of Dawn from her.
As a high-ranking member of the Mengmeng Committee and also said to be one of the shareholders of Nature's Heart Amway Chamber of Commerce, Wind's news … had always been very well-informed. She also liked to talk about this with other players.
"The Continent of Caradia was not too polluted. It's interesting. Because the energy level of this world is too low, the impact after the cataclysm was relatively small. The mutated monsters were quickly suppressed and eliminated by the only empire on the continent, the Karad Empire …"
"However, the emperor of the empire died in the suppression. Fighting against the monsters also exhausted the empire's treasury. The entire empire quickly collapsed … The country was torn apart. At the same time, three nobles established themselves as emperors. There was a chaotic situation of warlords."
"The place where we descended was a nomadic tribe called Coursette. It took about three months for us to unify the faith and then help them unify the entire continent … Heh, the combat power of this world is too weak. It took less than half a year to unify the entire continent!"
"However, the food in this world is not bad! You'll definitely like it! "
"You don't know, but when we activated the altar, those NPCs were stunned by the miracle of the goddess. A large number of them directly knelt on the ground …"
Tony chatted enthusiastically with Wind, sharing what he had seen and heard when the plane was being developed.
After chatting for a while, he suddenly had a thought and asked, "Oh, right.
Miss Wind, in reality, are you going to the offline exchange for 'Elven Kingdom' players in Yaodu next week? I happen to be on a business trip in the Celestial Empire these few months and plan to participate. "
