Chapter 321 War
At the same time, the combat effectiveness shown by the players in this beast invasion has really attracted the attention of the empire's top leaders.
Although most players' own levels are still not high, when equipped with magic constructs on the battlefield, they become an elite force that cannot be ignored.
This dark beast tide did not only break out within the Gloria Empire, but also swept across almost half of the Yar continent.
The Saint Messia Empire and the Itel Federation were also affected to varying degrees, but the intensity of the beast tide was much lower than that of the Gloria Empire.
Facing the threat of the Dark Beast Tide, the Eter Federation and the Continental Magic Council simultaneously announced:
In order to better cope with this continental disaster, the Itel Federation and the Magic Council joined forces to provide the entire Yar continent with necessary new equipment support.
In the spirit of humanitarianism, the Federation and the Parliament will supply two newly developed standard magic constructs in large quantities at cost price to all forces and individuals across the Yar continent.
——【White Knight—Type I】and 【Explosive Dragon—Type I】.
The magic weapons equipped by the two constructs can exert the destructive power of the entry-level level of the fourth order. If multiple magic constructs focus their fire, it is enough to threaten the dark creatures with strength in the middle and high stages of the fourth order.
Furthermore, as long as a second-level professional wears it, the full combat performance of the construct can be brought into play. If it is simply used as a turret to attack, then a first-level professional is enough to control it.
As can be seen from the names, the two types of magic constructs have different positioning.
The White Knight is positioned to charge head-on and attack with firepower. It has strong defense and destructive power, but its mobility is weaker.
The Explosive Dragon is a reconnaissance and long-range attack type, with weak defense capabilities, but its mobility and attack range are much stronger than the White Knight, and it has the ability to fly short distances and low altitudes.
Due to the special circumstances, although the Empire nominally strictly prohibits private ownership of military-type structures, the managers of major cities have turned a blind eye to those who are frantically purchasing structures.
At a moment like this, no one would be stupid enough to limit their own strength improvement.
By then, as long as the excuse is used that "the beast tide's attack was too fierce and the movements of civilian professionals were not detected in time", even the royal family will not be able to continue to pursue responsibility.
Moreover, the price offered by the Federation was really cheap compared to other constructs of the same level, nearly 60% cheaper! Other constructs of the same type also saw price cuts of varying degrees.
They even secretly sent people to the Federation through a special teleportation array, and then escorted back large quantities of the two types of constructs under the escort of a team of high-level professionals.
As these structures gradually become popular, players can rarely experience the thrill of mowing down enemies in "Mystic Era".
You can kill the second and third level dark creatures at will, and you can also focus your fire on the fourth level dark creatures and slowly kill them. The experience bar will increase at an amazing speed.
The experience provided by directly spawning monsters that jump 10 or 20 levels is also extremely amazing.
During the nearly half month when the beast tide was raging, the average level of the first and second echelon players suddenly rose a lot, breaking through the level 30 and level 25 mark respectively.
Those in the top 20 on the level list have all been upgraded to level 35 or above, and are about to start the second job transfer task from level 39 to level 40.
Killing monsters, upgrading and changing equipment, the fun for players is so simple and plain.
Of course, although these two types of equipment are relatively "cheap", they are not affordable for most low-level professionals.
In addition to the professional players directly affiliated with the e-sports clubs, the presidents and senior executives of major guilds, the big spenders, and some of the luckiest first-tier players.
If ordinary players want to experience the fun of mowing the lawn with constructs, they must join the major forces participating in defending the city, and then redeem them through military merits gained by hunting dark creatures.
It was supposed to be like this.
However, they now have a new option - joining the Secret Order.
With the release of these two builds, Avis also updated new tasks and benefits in the Secret Society in sync with changes in the outside world.
In addition to the original tasks of recruiting people and accumulating points, the official membership task temporarily added a task of killing dark creatures.
Players can choose to kill fifty dark creatures above level three, or five dark creatures above level four.
After bringing back the materials on them as proof, you can become a regular member and enjoy the benefits that come with being a formal member.
Moreover, due to the special timing, Avis also made a decision that seemed crazy to outsiders: all members of the Secret Ceremony whose contribution points reached more than 500 points, regardless of whether they were formal members or not, could obtain a White Knight or Explosive Dragon in advance by paying in installments.
Once they obtain the magic construct, they can repay the remaining debt by hunting dark creatures and collecting materials.
When the news that the Mystery Club would offer this benefit spread, many people were surprised at first, and then waited to see Avis make a fool of himself.
Perhaps the concept of paying in installments and experiencing the product in advance sounds good, but it is not appropriate in the context of this world.
It's very simple. How can you be sure that after the other party pays the down payment and takes the goods, he will continue to pay you the balance instead of running away? If everyone is bound by magic contracts, the resources consumed will be enough to lose all the profits gained, which is totally not worth the loss.
Or, let's take a step back and say that the other party took the things and didn't plan to run away, but accidentally died? However, despite many advice and doubts, Avis still "insisted on his own way".
The result was indeed as expected by outsiders. This benefit has been implemented for a total of thirteen days from the beginning of the beast tide to now.
During these thirteen days, the value of the dark biological materials recovered by Avis was less than 60% of the value of the constructs sent out.
In just half a month, the wealth he lost, if converted into gold coins, would be enough to reach millions! Perhaps he could get some back later, but Avis himself knew that the probability of not losing money was very low.
Most players have no moral integrity to begin with, and what's more, when he occasionally observed the players' panels, he found that there were already strategies on the forum on how to quickly get 500 contribution points from him and then take advantage of him.
However, his original purpose was not to make money.
After gaining the ability of a prophet in this life, Avis saw more things than before.
For example, the deeper things symbolized by these two structures.
This is a battle without the smoke of gunpowder, a battle for the feedback of fate.
On one side were the many high-level prophet masters of the Itel Federation. On the other side was the one in the observation tower at the top of the Sky City, the only ninth-level prophet on the continent.
