On the second day after Hope City advanced, the special weather changed again, this time it was foggy.
However, because Hope City had a good harvest, the fog in Hope City was still acceptable, and at least people could be seen.
But I hope it’s different outside the city.
"Shit, I just went out of town and almost died."
"Wouldn't it be impossible to see in foggy weather?"
"But there are monsters hiding in the fog and attacking us!"
"What do you mean? Can't you feel the monster?"
"Yeah, you won't know until they hit you."
"Maybe those with higher levels will be more sensitive!"
"Fuck, this special weather is really going to play tricks."
...
...
While Delanxing and Gilt were conducting research, Anna took the soldiers out to clean up the monsters.
"It's done!" Gilt said.
Based on Lai Jiang's description, Phil Lai Jiangji, Jin Jingshan, Dawus and the other eight people guessed that the weapon they obtained was not special.
"Aren't there more Zhoubai territories in the north?" Anna asked. Actually, you haven't found out through the map yet, but there are still hundreds of Zhoubai territories left in your area!
"Shit, there's going to be a famine in the future!"
The problem now is that there is no time to develop. The further ahead we get, the more difficult the situation becomes. Merging is the worst option.
Before the signing, Anna spoke up, "As allies, you will give them a batch of weapons, but those weapons also need to sign a contract and can only be used against monsters, not intelligent races."
Only when we don't take action can people capture Yiqi.
The most important thing is that Hope City always has new things to come out with.
The combination of fog flowers cannot produce fog mirrors.
“…”
But now, it seems that the bad things are not caused by Hope City.
"Fog Mirror! That name is so apt!"
There were also no professional teams with sufficient combat experience joining in.
Hearing Anna's words, Yu Xiaoxiao and her group breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "There is one more thing. I heard that Hope City has a new building, the Exchange and Assembly Hall. You hope to form an alliance with Hope City at that time. When you need to upgrade, he can come to help you. Of course, when Hope City needs your help, you will also oblige to accept it. In the later stage, Hope City will help you less, but in the early stage, you suspect that you will help Hope City more."
"Let's light up the technology tree!" Lai Jiang said directly, "You think they don't have many territories, so they probably don't make cold weapons, right?"
For a while, some of Hope City’s fog mirrors were out of stock.
But even if the development is wrong, there is no time to become weak!
You suspect that if the other party really had no intention of making changes and gave their full support, the Orc Kingdom would really have the upper hand.
Dai Lanxing was stunned. Eye-related equipment had never appeared before.
Of course, there are also soldiers guarding directly under the military fortress, operating the catapults and crossbows to fire upwards, and they can also gain some experience points.
The foggy weather can indeed provide a great cover for the monsters, not only covering up our breath, but even our movements.
Anna saw what we were thinking and said, "You haven't won the support of the Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Orc Kingdom yet."
And even fewer territories were surprised at the "strength" of Hope City.
From 200,000 to 1 million, you are indeed still short of people.
Anna received the supplies we sent her later. She didn't know our attitude yet, but she really thought that we would come together.
Most of them are lords of territories.
Anna is now a saint-level professional, and a saint-level professional who has passed level 45. The magic scroll has no special binding force on the lords who are still low-level professionals at the scene.
When Fang Zonglong finished speaking, everyone at the scene took a deep breath.
Anna also coughed heavily, and then said, "You don't have Hope City. Such a weapon is probably a sharp weapon against monsters."
"There are really few new things in their world." Dai Lanxing said with difficulty.
"You too, not even a little bit."
Changes are also happening gradually and quietly.
"What do you need to do?" Now, whatever we hear from Yu Xiaoxiao, we all find it too strange.
The first wave, the lords of Laijiang territory.
Hope City has produced the foggy exterior mirror without thinking about exchanging it. They are working overtime to produce it, hoping to make some money in a naughty way.
"You were really half a beat faster!"
"There is a kind of white stone in the northern part of their orc kingdom. They must be able to dig it out. Are you willing to exchange it with them for finished gunpowder?" Anna said directly, "That kind of white stone is also a weapon similar to gunpowder. It is not stable enough. But after you process it, it will be more stable and less powerful. It can be controlled by you."
"You don't have any either."
"Just like cement, they collect the raw materials and then sell them to us. However, we need to sign a contract and can use them at will. At most, they can only be used to attack monsters. They can't attack any intelligent race." Lai Jiang said directly, "In addition to the modern technology in the gunpowder, those who don't know how to make it should carefully make it and use modern technology to truly impact that world, so that the world consciousness of that world can see that the world has another direction of development, which gives me no less of a choice."
It's just the City of Hope. Those territories from other worlds are pretty boring. Your tailor shop has recovered a lot of equipment and gained a lot of inspiration from them.
"Lord, we have solved it." The captain of a soldier battalion concluded. Although it is a bit difficult, we are few in number and have rich combat experience. We fight in a team, so these monsters really can't do anything to us.
Therefore, the territory wars in recent times have been particularly peaceful.
Yu Xiaoxiao and the others listened, "It is difficult, but it is not bad. There are solutions for a few territories. The pressure is too small. It has only been eight months! They have experienced too little. A small number of people have not completely changed their minds, so they are naturally willing to accept annexation."
Eight months later, you never thought that Hope City would cease to exist!
Before reading it, Phil Sorenson and others were stunned.
Originally, the decision was not so smooth, but the continuous occurrence of abnormal weather not only brought about a mutation of the magic elements, but also made the situation of some territories even more difficult.
"You have no choice but to fight for it. You have to do it anyway." Yu Xiaoxiao said softly.
"This little family should work hard and complete the integration as soon as possible." Anna said seriously.
"The purple equipment is enough!"
"Are there any common materials in this small fog?" Zhou Bai continued to ask. Since other weather conditions do not have corresponding materials, it is possible that there are no common materials in this small fog.
"What area of research?" Dai Lanxing asked Anna subconsciously. You think that since Anna asked, she must have no idea.
Even territory wars have become a non-existent existence in a small number of territories.
"Then how can we go out and kill monsters?"
"Your territory is still the most powerful!"
As soon as the last batch was sold out, there was no seventh batch to replace it.
【Function: Can see objects in light fog. 】
"No, it's a plant called Fog Flower. No one picks it, and there are very few of them, but there have been studies on their effects."
"Want to merge? How many?" Anna asked deliberately. In fact, all the Zhou Bai territories that have survived until now have developed very well.
Lai Jiang listened and said quickly: "If Dawusi is interested, he must visit your territory. The weapons industry in your territory was also founded by a dwarf blacksmith."
Special weather really has its own ways of messing with people.
The Laijiang territory had done it before, but the response was mediocre, which completely discouraged the few territories from doing that.
Lai Jiang paused, then spoke up, "I can only choose you!"
The news about the fog mirror slowly reached the ears of tourists visiting Hope City.
Everyone else came back to their senses. Yes! Fighting is the way to go. We are not on the battlefield of death. How can we consider whether to fight or not? There is only one choice: fight!
Hope City made a fortune from that opportunity.
Just like that, all races in the entire Stan Continent are struggling to survive.
Especially watching Hope City advance, knowing their experience, we were not fully prepared.
It’s a small town on a small hill, you can’t do that!
"I have encountered it before, but the foggy weather didn't have much impact on our operations before." Diana said truthfully, "So we didn't have the corresponding equipment to resist the fog. Who could have thought that this time it would be like this!"
How do other materials combine with glasses?
"The Sumo Zhou Bai Territory in the north needs Hope City to send someone to pick it up."
Since there is a law in my territory, I might as well go to Hope City for a stroll.
Our original trust in Hope City came from the fact that Hope City came from another world.
"He means that when the time comes to use them, he can't buy these territories from you?"
"Has he been feeling something recently? Are the water and fire elements in the air gone? In the future, there may be magic in the air, and there may be nourishment from magic. Where does he think the resources in it come from?"
He immediately gave a dark smile, "Bad."
No competition, no regression.
Anyway, annexation is indeed the slowest way to attract people.
“…”
And when the lord villain spoke earlier, it seemed like he had no idea.
"You too."
When Zhou Bai heard the news, he felt speechless.
"It's probably less than 700 territories." Yu Xiaoxiao said, without any bad intentions on her face. "Although it's a bit troublesome to annex, my family will cooperate very well, especially if we join a city like Hope City."
"Not yet! The territory has recently unlocked the Bad Boy Training Camp, all of which are physical training. A few magicians are shifting their focus to my physical training department!"
"Bad." Dawus responded immediately.
Hang a bell under the floor. As long as it moves, we will know that no monsters have retreated, and we can attack then.
Those lords were preparing to advance in the next day or two! After all, everyone knew that the later you advance, the fewer variables you will encounter.
Zhou Bai went to the tailor shop immediately.
That contract will be the same for all sales objects at that time.
Especially today, with the arrival of a little fog, the small family regretted their original choice. One by one, they stopped gathering and headed towards Hope City.
All of a sudden, tourists flocked to the tailor shop.
When I retreated into the mist, no one around me could see me.
Especially the Dwarven Kingdom, with our capabilities, we will only do worse in the future.
Before the foggy exterior mirrors were produced, they were quickly handed over to the factory for mass production, and the first batch was directly taken off the shelves before it even reached the tailor shop.
But I never expected that glass is now useless when made into glasses.
All the lost territories seemed to have retreated into a state of active development and efforts to stockpile goods.
How arrogant!
Whether consciously or not, many of us have not gotten used to coming to Hope City.
"Oh, it's purple equipment."
The First Military Factory is mainly composed of goblins and residents of Hope City, while the Seventh Military Factory is not composed entirely of dwarves.
Seeing that everyone in the family agreed, when it came to the first part, the little family couldn't help laughing. They were in the same world and they were of the same white people.
"You've tried it, and it's only not getting weaker." Lai Jiang said directly, "That also gave them confidence. It would be wrong to cooperate with you!"
"Not many people have thought about this. We have been collecting resources all the time. Besides, a lot of land in your territory is used to grow food. Why does he think that is?"
"Yes, you know Hope City is also busy now." Yu Xiaoxiao sighed.
Before both sides eliminated the monsters in their territories, multi-professionals set up a huge trap directly at the entrance of the military fortress.
Afterwards, Anna took us to continue walking around Hope City, and then we saw off the eight people.
"Yeah." Lai Jiangji nodded and prepared to go back and discuss it with Janos.
I can only say that we have lost our previous families and are now standing at the same starting line. Now is not the time to compete for the lead.
Only if the entire society develops backwards and pursues lower goals will the fucking bloody path of civilization degeneration appear again.
“…”
The lords of the young territories immediately understood what Anna meant.
Anna paused, not even a little confused. Would she still give it all afterwards?
Before signing the contract again, the eight people had not yet received the gifts from Hope City. A detailed instruction manual was also attached to the batch of weapons.
Flowers outside the fog? Could it be seeing flowers outside the fog?
After all, only a small number of people know the basic formula of gunpowder, and given the ordinariness of that world, it is very complicated to replicate it.
Few tourists are keenly aware that it is a bad opportunity to make money.
Obviously, the dwarves of the dwarf tribe are interested in new things.
Of course, now even fewer territories pay too little attention to other territories.
At this time, Anna welcomed two waves of guests in her territory.
There are so many pieces of news that Hope City has given us, and they are becoming reality one by one.
At that time, fewer tourists rushed to Hope City.
"Lord Anna, please ask the orcs from your kingdom to come to work with them less often, and he will give you fewer weapons like that." Jin Jingshan patted Anna's shoulder subconsciously.
【Product: Fog mirror】
"It does matter." Anna certainly knew that the reason could be so simple. The smallest possibility was that Hope City was too weak. If it were in the negotiating seat, it might be a bad negotiation. But it's the same for Yu Xiaoxiao and us.
"He still dares to rest? Why does he think the territory is so slow in producing equipment? Isn't it hoping that people outside the territory can collect resources in small quantities?"
Xiaojia saw through it and said it, but did you expect that our determination would be so weak and directly reduced to seven.
Before she knew what was going to happen, Anna returned to the city and continued to have the soldiers form teams to clear out the monsters in the territory.
“The Laijiang territory has grown from a few thousand to the current two thousand, but recently, you are planning to retreat and merge again.” Lai Jiangji said directly.
Moreover, they are all Zhoubai people, so it is very convenient for you to manage them before you accept them.
Looking at the newspaper of Hope City again, I saw that Bei Wenkang and Xiang Ziqian were now worried, and they made decisions one by one.
"Hope City is very bad." As soon as she sat down, Lai Jiangji spoke impatiently, "This fog mirror is very good. This is the first time you have seen such equipment."
"Yes." Jin Jingshan agreed firmly, "Does he have any suggestions for your Orc Kingdom? Tell us all at once."
Even some of the original aggressive territories dared to be too presumptuous when the little guys shared the same hatred for the enemy. Of course, it was not because of disobedience.
"Go buy some and he will help you research them."
Anna felt as if her eyes had been washed.
At the same time, after hundreds of experiments, Gilt and Dai Lanxing jointly developed a product, the fog mirror.
The disappearance of territory every day is undoubtedly a mental torture for every lord.
But can someone who can create such a situation be a complicated person?
At that time, Anna remembered a plan of hers. She originally wanted to contact Zhou Bai's territory, but now, she knew what to say.
Once it was taken off the shelves, it instantly attracted a rush of professionals.
"According to speculation, the world consciousness of that world is inclined to sacrifice you in exchange for the upgrade of the entire world, so you need to do something to win the support of the world consciousness." Anna finally spoke.
But I didn't expect that the blizzard weather would change into light fog.
Sure enough, as soon as we walked out of the city gate, it was foggy inside and we could hardly see anything.
In the following situation, the survival probability of the weak territory is not weaker than ours.
As for Anna, she gradually found her feeling after defeating several monsters.
"My Lord." Seeing Zhou Bai, Diana hurriedly came forward.
"So, did I choose you guys first?" No one asked back.
"Um?"
"You will take advantage of me." Feier Lai Jiangji said to Anna softly, her whole body sounding holy.
In a short time, it was sold to countless territories through the hands of tourists, and the news also spread.
If Lai Jiang was a Saint-level professional, he would have been knocked down by that palm strike. He held back and said, "Jin Jingshan, you mean he wants both! You paid for hiring the orcs, so he must want weapons like that. He's doing you a favor."
Then we have to find a way out.
Anyway, in Anna's opinion, that was indeed a very bad choice.
However, territory wars are unavoidable. Fewer and fewer territories have stopped seeking cooperation. The two sides sign a contract and choose each other in the territory war. If one side admits defeat, all the profits gained will be returned, and they will take turns to cooperate.
It's just a monster, how to fight against the beast tide? Fighting at that time is just asking for trouble.
"Bad, you agreed." Anna said finally.
Afterwards, Anna said nothing more, but took out a contract scroll. What we discussed today can be announced in any form.
The only reason why it didn't show up is because a small number of territories wanted to keep it as their own trump card.
"You also made a little gunpowder, but it's not a complicated explosive that's this low."
We can buy that flower outside the fog and resell it, and see how much money we can make.
Before seeing us off, Anna welcomed her seventh group of guests.
Anna naturally welcomed us into her office personally.
"Let Gilt cooperate with his research." Anna said directly. If Lai Jiangji knew how the glasses were made.
"Seven???" Anna was shocked at that. Then she thought about her own position. It seemed that she was in the north, so she was also one of them?
“Have you ever encountered foggy weather before?”
Overall, the development of Hope City is the worst. A small part of the territory is unwilling to give up, but we in other regions can't negotiate! We even have to give up some of our interests.
That
Anna just had a thought in her mind, but then she understood it. You just found out earlier that there are only a few people outside the small town, but all of them are weapons experts, and they hired a lot of dwarves. The design concept and practice are perfectly unified. It is very unusual to achieve such an achievement.
No matter what, Hope City is really a bad place!
Ordinary weather followed one after another, and the environment became more and more severe day by day. Some of us thought that our development was in trouble.
"Bad." Dai Lanxing responded immediately. She was also very curious about such new things.
According to our consistent understanding, the resources within the territory can be refreshed daily, and we can grab those refreshed resources as much as we want. Even normal weather cannot stop us.
After all, we also know that even if Hope City doesn’t have a bumper harvest, we can still see it in the territory.
"Yeah." Yu Xiaoxiao and others nodded.
Add to that the existing low-level alchemy plants, and the production capacity is quite impressive.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Anna continued to ask.
You think the glasses are new because Gilt was so slow in making them.
He agreed without hesitation.
As for glass! You always know how to make it, but the role of glass in the magic world is generally small. I don't think it has any value. After all, glass has very few functions, and the magic world lacks things to replace it.
It must be said that Anna's gift did give us some confidence.
Fortunately, in terms of production capacity, Hope City is poor, especially before Hope City communicated with the Dwarf Kingdom, it directly recruited a small number of dwarves and built the Seventh Military Factory.
“Why do we need to collect resources?”
In the abnormal world, it would take a long time, but in the magical world, it would only take a short time.
"You are being polite. You are compatriots. You should help each other. They have to work less hard than you. Is that what you are trying to convince those territories?"
At that time, Fang Zonglong stood up and said, "Well, your territory has stockpiled a lot of gunpowder and bullets. There are two small factories in the territory at present, the tank factory and the artillery factory. The main products of the tank factory are tanks, reconnaissance vehicles and support vehicles. The artillery factory has mines, but it produces rocket launchers, such as heavy rocket launchers, guided rocket launchers, letter rocket launchers, and storm rocket launchers."
"Can one tube of recovery potion recover me?" Dai Laijiang asked subconsciously.
"Yes, I was thinking that it would be too risky to lead the team out now! Now that we don't have the fogged mirror, we can go out hunting."
Also because you make so few, your current level is really rising all the way, and you are not even close to a saint-level tailor.
"If he has nothing to do, just tell him directly. Even if you are busy, you can still find time for construction." Yu Xiaoxiao said firmly, and the other lords also looked over.
"What were those glasses originally used for?" Dai Lanxing asked curiously.
In reality, before the eight people went back, they instantly became busy, especially Jin Jingshan, who went straight to find Yanos to finish discussing the trivial matters of the Orc Kingdom.
"Bad." Lai Jiang continued to respond straightforwardly.
“It’s too much trouble!”
"East, south, west, north and center, seven!" Yu Xiaoxiao said.
It can definitely be absorbed more slowly, so does this mean that Hope City can be upgraded from a level 1 city to a level 2 city?
"Some people have trouble seeing things clearly up close, and they can see them before they put on their glasses."
As for the future direction of gunpowder.
"We can only go in a group, maybe we can attack the military fortress at will."
Later, when Xiaoshan Town took out so few platinum weapons to sell in Hope City, you knew that Xiaoshan Town didn't have anything worse.
"There is no such potion in your world." Gilt said directly, "It can be used to make a telescope! But it is of little use outside."
"The little guy has discussed it and made up his mind." Yu Xiaoxiao said, "The reason why I didn't tell him was because Hope City was at a critical period at that time. I hope he would mind."
But it was precisely because of that state that it revealed a little bit: the doomsday crisis was less serious than imagined.
The Elf King Phil Sorenson, the Beast King Jin Jingshan, and the Dwarf Kingdom representative Dawus.
To seek refuge in Hope City? It was too possible.
Now the less the territory is troubled by the foggy weather!
In Hope City, everyone was having a heated discussion.
There will definitely be no corresponding ordinary materials for the foggy weather in the future.
At first, the meeting started outside, but that was when Zhou Bai's united front truly ended.
After a while, the sound of fighting was heard.
The gunpowder of the human kingdom will soon become abundant, and the gunpowder of other races has also been arranged.
Before the doomsday crisis, no matter how small the territories are, they would engage in internal strife at that time.
Sure enough, when Anna finished speaking, a small number of territory lords fell silent.
You know that Jin Jingshan doesn't have a military advisor around him. Zheng Huai is from the same family as Lucas in our territory. He also contributed to the openness between us.
"The orcs were the most advantageous in that doomsday crisis. They relied on their internal strength and their bodies to fight against the monsters. It's just that the orcs live too close together. I'm sure Jin Jingshan can gather a small number of orcs together. You think their fighting power will increase several times. As for how to gather us together, they can only discuss it internally. You are just making a suggestion." Anna was also hinting as she spoke.
Of course, you would say that if you were the one.
"They are..." Anna was quite surprised, because the people who came to Hope City were only the Zhoubai Territory that had cooperated with Hope City before, and not all the territories that had cooperated with Hope City before, and even we represented the Zhoubai Territory.
That's right, I heard that Hope City has not yet developed the equipment to restrain Xiao Wu.
Hope Town relied on those new things to transform from a village into a city.
Elf King Phil Sorenson said directly: "The eight of you came here together to sign a contract with him. Only if you don't sign an alliance contract can you cooperate without worries and give him what he wants."
But just before Hope City temporarily solved the problem of finding traces of monsters within its territory, the gathering team in Hope City became busy again.
One day, you will surely achieve a breakthrough and die with regrets.
Everyone signed their nickname without objection.
The north is naturally not Hope City.
When we discussed it at the beginning, we decided to move each area closer to one territory as soon as possible.
"He..." Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Anna who was so straightforward, and she knew what to say, so she just said two words, "Thank you."
Then, the seven people signed their nicknames directly under the magic scroll held by the Elf King.
As for the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, Anna really needs to worry about them.
Thinking about it, Anna asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"
The lords could only sigh, but something unexpected happened. Hope City actually developed equipment that could not see in fog. So they rushed over immediately.
"Eye."
When there are only two choices, you only need to kill one of them, so that there is only one choice left.
I also want to try it myself and see the pressure of the Warcraft on Xiao Wu.
"I was thinking of taking a break in that kind of weather!"
The same goes for Hasen from the blacksmith shop next door. He is about to reach the bottleneck of becoming a saint-level blacksmith.
Many territories also suffered from the promotion cold wave due to the lack of new equipment.
"Hurry up! You need to buy fogged mirrors."
