William returned to Stormy Island. The backbone of the City of Dawn was back.
The public beta of version 1.0 had been in the game for nine months. He no longer roamed around. Instead, he stayed on Stormy Island. Every day, he organized the recruitment of manpower to develop resources.
In the tenth month.
In a valley 18 kilometers southeast of Stormy Town, 'someone' found a magical crystal mine. William set it as a forbidden area and did not excavate it.
Similarly, someone found an adamantine mine and a gold mine!
The road between Stormy Town and the mine was connected. Excavation work began. Adorable Orc miners skillfully carried high-quality pickaxes and shovels. They valiantly and energetically came to excavate!
Many players were dumbfounded when they saw the neat team of Orc miners.
But when the leader of the miners appeared.
The players completely shut their mouths.
He was also an Orc!
And he was an Advanced and Grandmaster Orc BOSS!
That was right. When William sent the Trolls to other places, he had already started to subdue some Orcs who wanted to join him.
After all, there were many strange things in the Gods' continent. The Orcs had the most catamites. Hence, it was best to use their own kind to guard their own kind.
When the Orcs saw their own kind slacking, they would beat them up even more fiercely.
William was not afraid that this group of people would run away or defect. After all, they were only responsible for guarding the mine. They were not allowed to leave the mine. There were often patrol teams nearby.
Meanwhile.
William formed the [Blade Cavalry Legion].
He personally went to Stormy Lake and asked the Horse King to summon his followers. He let the knights conquer them one by one …
Among them, 1500 Elves were light cavalry, while the other 1500 Human were heavy cavalry.
This did not mean that the heavy cavalry would definitely die.
It was just that the light cavalry of the Elves could fly kites and shoot more accurately. The heavy cavalry suffered more casualties …
But the equipment of the heavy cavalry was definitely beyond imagination. The 1500 heavy cavalry, regardless of whether it was their horses or their equipment, were all Intermediate Gold equipment!
The 1,500 gold-armored cavalrymen were all riding mid-tier Magical Beasts. If they were to really go all out, the impact would be unimaginable.
Among all the legions in the City of Dawn, there were only 1500 of them. Their equipment was the most expensive!
In general.
The more expensive the equipment, the more dangerous it was. The probability of dying in battle was higher.
It was the 11th month of the public beta.
Four legions were stationed on Stormy Island. Among them, 1300 had advanced to the Intermediate level.
William sent four legions to Stormy Island!
The formation of the [Blade Cavalry Corps] was successful. Under the threats and promises of the Little Horse King, a total of 3000 Thunder Warhorses became mounts.
There were more than 2000 Thunder Warhorses living on the grasslands around the Storm Lake, but most of them were happy fillies.
William was too lazy to take the Young Horse King with him, so he released him. He let him continue to be a happy stallion so that he could have more battle horses.
The fortifications on the precipitous cliffs were complete. Other than the five mountain roads that led directly to the City of Dawn, the other steep mountain roads had all been destroyed!
The old city district, which was also the district where William lived, had also built a sturdy wall that was more than half a meter tall at the edge of the cliff!
The Honor Army that had been stationed at the Orichalcum Mine for a long time had retreated.
The new army would head to the top.
There was no time gap between Version 1.0 and Version 2.0.
At this moment.
There was only one month left until the Darkness Invasion.
Disaster was about to befall!
…
In the beautiful City of Dawn.
The players gathered together in groups of three to five. Some of them fought one-on-one in the Gladiator Arena all day, working hard for the God of War Ranking List.
After all, the God of War Ranking List only provided the data of the top 100 players.
If they could enter the top 10 in every season, not only would they receive equipment, materials, and gems, but they would also receive a glorious title that temporarily increased their attributes.
This dazzling title was something that the players wanted the most.
The top players had reached level 40. As Version 2.0 had not been released, they were temporarily unable to level up.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Version 2.0 was about to be released. Hence, many rich players rushed to the Dwarven Blacksmith Shop and ordered a full set of Intermediate Gold-tier equipment. Otherwise, they would first order Gold-tier equipment before anything else.
As for the Grand Deity team, they had to be fully equipped with Gold equipment. The weapons that they ordered were either Dark Gold or Epic!
The mercenary team contribution points could not be used to exchange for anything. After they became Intermediate, they could exchange for Epic or even Legendary manuals!
But this was how the rich players played.
Of course, ordinary players had other ways!
First, they had to complete all the missions given by the mercenary team every day. They could not forget about the small and large wheel of fortune every week. If they were lucky and obtained a piece of Gold or Epic equipment, they would be rich.
Second, they had to spend the daily purchase limit. The Double Experience Pill was the key. As for other equipment and tools, it depended on whether they had the money or not.
Third, they could only use two Instance Dungeon crystals twice a day.
Among them, they could farm for Darkness materials in the Misty Valley and sell them to the NPCs of the Palace of Darkness.
The counterattack of the City of Dawn was the battle of the Dawn Fortress. There were many Blue quality equipment, materials, and even military supplies. These things could be sold for a good price.
If they could defeat the final BOSS, there was a small chance of obtaining Epic equipment. There was a high chance of obtaining Gold equipment!
It could be said that the reason why the players in the City of Dawn did not lack equipment was because of the high drop rate in this Instance Dungeon!
Although the chances of dying were higher …
If they died in the Instance Dungeon, they would not drop their equipment!
Fourth, the contribution points of the Dawn Mercenary Team had to be saved. Most people could exchange for two or three pieces of Silver equipment when they reached the Intermediate level. In addition, they could also exchange for some Silver equipment with the battle points from the Massacre Battlefield.
So!
As long as they could work hard!
After reaching the Intermediate level, it was easy to obtain a set of Silver equipment.
As for embedding gems on the equipment? Enchantment?
Wasn't that something that only rich players could do?
If a normal player wanted to do that, they would have to work hard!
…
The players did not know what was going on in Version 2.0.
But some people had discovered some information!
For example, the City of Dawn was constantly expanding its army. It used to have five legions, but now it had 12 regular legions and 6 reserve legions.
It could even be said that …
Although the equipment of the six reserve legions was not very good, they were still professionals that could be used on the battlefield.
The entire City of Dawn was operating at a crazy pace. All kinds of high-quality equipment were sent to the legions in batches. Many of the equipment used by the players were cheap goods that had been discarded by the legions!
Some of the areas in the city had been vacated.
Some buildings had been demolished.
It seemed like they were going to place some large equipment in those empty spaces.
There were no city walls on the north side of the old city. But now, a low defense system had been built.
All of this showed that the City of Dawn was preparing for war. It was a defensive war.
…
Some members of the Glory Club were having a small gathering.
A dozen of them came to the old city and sat in a pavilion at the central plaza to eat and drink. Chu Liuqiu looked to the north and suddenly said, "What is it that made the City of Dawn so anxious? Let's not talk about other things. Just the terrain alone is good. The cliff is more than 80 meters high. It's very difficult for people to climb up. "I have secretly observed from below the cliff. There seems to be some underground facilities under our feet. There are also various defense facilities on the cliff. Is it just to defend against the Black Lava Dukedom?"
When the other team members heard this, they pondered in silence. Ever since the prince disappeared for a month and returned to Stormy City, he had not appeared much.
He had been busy all day.
Some Advanced BOSSES had also disappeared without a trace.
But some players discovered that many Advanced NPCs were training on Stormy Island. They seemed to be preparing to break through to the Advanced level!
The Advanced BOSSES of the City of Dawn were confirmed to be William, Lautner, Burned Cinder, and Odom!
Two Legendary and two Epic!
How powerful were their combat powers?
But even so, the City of Dawn did not let their guard down.
"I don't think they are defending against the Black Lava Dukedom. Have you guys noticed that there seems to be a problem on the grassland battlefield? While many people are fighting for the high ground, they often see dark creatures appearing. The NPC legions near the battlefield have also retracted their defensive line. They don't seem to want to continue fighting. "
Changli Jiuge nodded. "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Dark creatures. I remember that I received a mission from Prince William regarding the abandoned Devil's Den. That place is the Misty Valley Instance Dungeon. There used to be thousands of dark creatures there. "Also, when I was browsing the forum recently, some adventure teams seem to have discovered a new Devil's Den on the grassland."
"You're right. It's not just a new Devil's Den. There are many more." Xiao Ayin squinted her big eyes and continued saying, "Do you know about the Grand Deity team?"
"Those rich people?" Chu Liuqiu's mouth twitched.
"Those idiots who don't care about money. They once went deep into the grassland to explore, hoping to find some hidden missions. Guess what they found?"
"Many small mermen tribes were massacred. There were still many corpses of dark creatures left on the ground! Also, many small mermen tribes have moved to the western grassland. Not only small mermen, but also Gnolls and Orcs. In short, all the intelligent races on the eastern side of the Massacre Grassland, including magical beasts and wild beasts, have also moved to the western grassland. "
"Oh, there were a few days when the Massacre Grassland was stopped. So it was to give those guys a chance to move?" Changli Jiuge nodded in realization. He was also a militant and liked to go to the battlefield to kill people and snatch equipment.
In the end, one day when he happily went there, he was stopped by the NPC. The NPC even warned him that if he entered the Massacre Grassland rashly and was killed, the City of Dawn would not be responsible.
Changli Jiuge was not interested in going to take a look, so he did not know about this.
There were many forbidden areas in the City of Dawn, and those places were guarded by the NPCs. If brave players entered, they would not just be killed. Regardless of whether they discovered any secrets, they would be killed and reduced to level 10!
Have you seen an NPC blocking the resurrection point to kill a player?
If you were killed in the forbidden area, you could return to the city to resurrect, but there would be a group of long-legged ladies waiting for you in the city with 40-meter broadswords!
Was it possible?
In particular, this was not the first time the NPCs of the City of Dawn had done this!
But for the players who were killed, no one would avenge them. After all, if they wanted to die, they could not blame others for killing them.
If they had the ability to spy on secrets, then they should have the ability not to be caught!
"Dark creatures? The number of Devil's Dens has increased? The defense line of the Massacre Grassland has retreated? The City of Dawn has strengthened its defenses and recruited soldiers? "Chu Liuxiang linked all these things together!
His eyes suddenly lit up!
"I know!"
"What?" A group of team members stared at their leader. He was indeed the leader. He was so quick-witted. Did he think of something?
"We must become the national champion in the international official competition at the end of this month!" Chu Liuqiu stood up and raised his wine glass high.
"…" Everyone was speechless. You want to become the national champion in an international competition? That was so exciting.
"Ahem, it's just that Version 2.0 is about to start. Everyone, just wait. What's the rush?" Chu Liuqiu smiled awkwardly.
