Seven days later.
Below Cang Yuan County City.
An army was approaching from afar. It looked like there were at least thirty thousand of them!
"To conquer a county and occupy it, thirty thousand people is the minimum."
Shen Mo, who was at the core of the army, said, "Our Xia Alliance's five thousand Black Tiger Army is made up of players and twenty-five thousand auxiliary soldiers. Although not all of them are martial artists, they are equipped with improved guns and cannons … Under a hail of bullets, even a Rank-4 martial artist will have to retreat! After a year of hard work, this time, we will completely shock the world! "
"Yes."
Xie Biqi also said, "The old players are cheering for this, thinking of revenge … In fact, there were a few pro players who wanted to kill Tu Qian Qiu after advancing to Rank-4, but after an internal vote, they agreed to take revenge together, no one was allowed to make the first move … Not only that, but they also secretly protected Tu Qian Qiu a few times, keeping this boss alive until now."
The corner of Shen Mo's mouth seemed to twitch. "To do such a boring thing … should I say that they are indeed players?"
"But … recently, the players' leveling speed has generally slowed down a lot."
Among the nine ranks of martial artists, from Rank-7 to Rank-6, and from Rank-4 to Rank-3 were all major barriers.
Currently, only the old players and pro players were Rank-3 or 4. Most of the open beta players were still hovering around Rank-6 or 7.
"Yes, the higher the rank, the more experience is needed to level up. It seems to also be related to talent and bone structure … Of course, we don't have to worry so much."
Xie Biqi said, "In reality, the resources needed to level up are ten times, or even dozens of times more than in the game. Now, there are only reports of Rank-4 martial artists …"
Shen Mo nodded, but did not say anything.
Research on the destructive power of Rank-4 martial artists, as well as simulations on how to kill them, was being done in every country's headquarters.
Currently, there were many results and data.
For example, there was a limit to the expansion range of a Rank-4 martial artist's martial will, and the further it was, the smaller the impact.
Therefore, the best way to deal with such martial artists was to directly send drones or even remote control weapons, force them to desolate areas, and start a missile bombardment.
Basically, it was only a matter of how much they had to pay. In the end, they would be killed.
"This time, the attack on Firmament County City is also due to the rapid development of the other player guilds, such as God's Domain and Divine Wind Group … They have each occupied a city and a territory, but they are still the strongest guilds of our Grand Xia Empire!"
In the current Da Xia Empire, there was only one player guild, and that was the Da Xia Alliance!
With over ten thousand registered players, be it in the game or in real life, it was number one!
"Moreover, we've also discovered the pattern of gaining experience points. The greater the influence, the easier it is to harvest experience points …"
Shen Mo said, "Those guilds are attacking cities and territories one after another. We, the Great Xia Alliance, can't just sit back and do nothing. This time, the Sky Yuan Sect is just a training exercise. Our real enemy is the White Tiger Sect! The Think Tank has already made a plan on how to take down Dingzhou. "
"With our army, it won't be a problem for us to defeat the White Tiger Sect's army, even if it's just an auxiliary army."
Xie Biqi pondered for a moment. Even the White Tiger Sect, which was an overlord sect that occupied a prefecture, had never had more than 10,000 White Tiger Elite Soldiers.
Most of them were ordinary armies with 100,000 soldiers.
Although the soldiers might have learned some martial arts, most of them were ordinary people who served as military officers.
With such an army, even if there were hundreds of thousands of them, the Great Xia Alliance was confident that they could defeat them with a hail of bullets and modern infantry formations!
"The most important thing … or should I say, the most worrisome thing is the White Tiger Sect's third-rank and above martial artists."
Xie Biqi said, "Although it's a secret, we've heard about it and made an analysis … third-rank martial artists are at the Great Perfection of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. They're indestructible and can catch bullets with their bodies … The range of influence of their martial arts will will also expand. It's very troublesome in real life, but in the game, we're third-rank martial artists. Even if there are ten of us fighting against one, we'll tire him to death!"
"Second-rank martial artists are known as Celestial Phenomenon! They can trigger the power of Celestial Phenomenon within a certain range, about a few miles … The lethality and range are very terrifying. Ordinary people and even low-ranked martial artists will die no matter how many of them go. However, if we send martial artists of fifth-rank and above, it's still possible to slowly grind them to death. "
"First-rank martial artists are known as God Suppressing! They can suppress an entire state on their own. They're truly at the pinnacle of martial arts. The highest cultivation of overlord sects like the White Tiger Sect is at this level. The specific destructive power and parameters are unknown … but if we, the third-rank veteran players, are willing to sacrifice ourselves, we'll have a high chance of dying. "
"The final supreme grade, the holy immortals and buddhas, are just legends …"
…
Shen Mo looked at the city walls of Cangyuan County City and suddenly sighed. "Even you're using the term 'veteran player'. I feel like it's a little divisive …"
Xie Biqi was stunned and immediately muttered, "I'm just used to it …"
After the open beta of "Game In A Different World", only about 100,000 players were recruited. After that, there were no more selections.
Among these 100,000 players, there were gradually many factions and even natural divisions.
For example, the veteran players of the closed beta and the new players of the open beta.
Another example was noobs and experts.
Shen Mo was also aware of these signs, but there was nothing he could do.
Others were good at playing games and leveling up quickly. What could you do?
In this world, after leveling up, there was indeed a world of difference between mortals and people. Even the difference of one level was like the difference between heaven and earth.
People were inherently divided into strong and weak. How could social classes and circles not appear?
"Captain Xie! Prepare to attack. "
Shen Mo sighed, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious. "I hope that you will always remember your identity and your position …"
"Understood."
Xie Biqi subconsciously answered very loudly, and then her heart turned cold.
She had a feeling that there was something else involved in this war.
Dong dong!
The war drums sounded.
25,000 modern auxiliary troops were arranged in a square formation. The cannons were opened and ready to fire at any time.
"Fire!"
Boom!
Accompanied by the hoarse voice of a herald, the cannons let out a furious roar.
The cannons were full of kinetic energy and smashed into the towering ancient city walls of Cangyuan County City, exploding one after another.
Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the soldiers guarding the city walls were torn to pieces.
"The cannons of the mutants?"
Tu Qianqiu looked at this scene, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
She had long ago snatched the gunpowder formula and gun workshop from the mutants, but … the craftsmen on her side were always inferior to the other side.
When the cannons were produced, the sect master had already ordered to imitate them. But regardless of range or power, they were not satisfactory.
Now that they had met the real thing, a small portion of the cannons on the city walls were instantly destroyed, without any effect.
