Chapter 493

This kind of back and forth lasted for a month and a half with the life consumption of NPCs of various races. It was not until the later heroes and leaders personally killed all the demons near the foreign gate that they stood firm nearby and a steady stream of troops passed through the foreign gate to establish a base.

The establishment of the base opened the reputation of the expeditionary army. The first batch of thousands of players with more than level 50 entered one after another. They chose to stay in the base of the expeditionary army, even Lin Xiao was no exception.

The reason is very simple. After opening Outland, the fortress system is opened. Any player who brushes Gaia's reputation to respect and expeditionary army's reputation to respect is qualified to establish his own fortress and recruit NPC soldiers from the expeditionary army by consuming reputation and demon mark.

The so-called fortress is a sub base. Exchange the reputation for the core cornerstone of the fortress, go to the depths of Outland, lay down the cornerstone, and then you can establish a fortress belonging to the player's individual, and recruit various functional NPC and combat NPC soldiers.

Functional NPC refers to various merchants, such as leather armour merchants, forgers, hotels bound with furnace stones, Flight points connecting other fortresses and the general base of the expeditionary army, grocers selling potions, merchants of various spell casting materials, professional trainers, and even professional mentors learning spells.

Newly recruited functional NPCs only have basic functions, but they can upgrade NPCs to have higher abilities by occupying some special resource areas or collected resources, or upgrading the core of the fortress, or selling some specialties only available in the fortress.

Fortress is similar to some small towns or outposts in the game, which can provide players with supplies, transit and even stay for a long time.

Players need to pay taxes for transactions here, which is also one of the sources of income of the fortress. Generally, one tenth of the total amount of materials purchased and sold by players in NPC is the income of the fortress owner.

In Outland, it is a safe area for players to rest. It also provides housing for players to rent or buy. Players can store things that cannot be contained in the package in the room.

However, this depends on whether the fortress is strong or not, because the fortress must be built in a dangerous area. It must face not only the attack of Outland demons, but also the destruction of the son of nightmare. Once the fortress is broken, the player's things in the fortress will disappear.

Therefore, whether a fortress can attract a large number of players to stay here for supply depends on whether your fortress is strong enough.

Therefore, fortress is not something that ordinary players can play. At least a team should build a fortress together, such as a guild. Few people build a fortress alone.

As for combat NPC, it naturally refers to all kinds of NPC soldiers, including elite NPC soldiers, including any race. Generally, players choose NPC of the same race, which has the advantage of recruitment price and conditions.

These NPC soldiers can also improve their level through combat, collect resources, forge NPC specific equipment, strengthen, and even upgrade their level, such as upgrading ordinary soldiers to elite templates, and even strengthen elite or leader templates.

Theoretically, a small soldier can also become a super powerful heroic NPC under harsh conditions.

However, theory is generally just a theory, which is basically impossible to become a reality.

Lin Xiao is interested in this. After discussing with his girlfriend, he decides to go it alone.

The reason why they don't join the guild is that there are quite a lot of players in the guild who want to exchange the core of the fortress. Everyone can see the future of the fortress system. The elites who can enter the glory are very difficult to convince them. Even if Lin Xiao has shown his strength before, they also recognize that he is very strong now, but it's one thing. It's another thing to want them to be younger brothers.

I convince you, but that doesn't mean I want to be your little brother.

In addition, people's hearts are changeable. If he really wants a group of people to be his little brother, he may not be at ease, so he discussed with his girlfriend and simply quit the meeting to do it by himself. Anyway, the cohesion in the guild is just like that. He doesn't expect them to help.

The next step is to brush the reputation, and constantly receive the repeatable task of killing demons in the expeditionary army. You can get a certain reputation for killing a certain number of demons.

He and his girlfriend are both mages. She chose her own core family tiannu winger, a sub legendary race mutated from her original core family thunder winger. It is estimated that the template refers to angels, so she looks very inclined to angels. She is very beautiful and has super strong spell casting talent at the same time.

There are two kinds of tiannu wing people, which are divided into silver wing and gold wing. Silver wing tiannu wing people have more powerful thunder talent than thunder wing people, and gold wing tiannu wing people inherit the holy power of angels.

Shen Yuexin chose the golden winged wrath winged man, so her specialization is sacred, which is equivalent to the combination of mage and priest. The original talent tended to be combat type. After meeting Lin Xiao, she washed away the original talent and replaced it with auxiliary type, that is to say, now she is equivalent to a priest with no low combat effectiveness.

Over time, the demons near the expeditionary army base were killed by them. The strong from the main plane used magic to transform the barren terrain nearby and built a super large fortress. Teams of NPC soldiers left the expeditionary army fortress under the leadership of an NPC officer and set up outposts nearby.

It is not only to serve players, but also to open up territory and serve as a buffer against demons.

However, if the corresponding players want to build a fortress, they must stay away from the expedition fortress and go to the depths of this exotic world.

According to the regulations, the farther the fortress is from the expeditionary army, the more important the position is, and the more support will be obtained from the expeditionary army. At the same time, there will be a huge bonus when calculating the score in the future, which will force players to enter the depths of Outland.

This is very beneficial to Lin Xiao, who has a hierarchical advantage. After spending a few months accumulating enough reputation, merit and demon mark, they exchanged a fortress core and a squadron of 100 level 55 NPCs, five of which are elite NPCs, and prepared sufficient supplies, He got on his horse and left the expeditionary army headquarters, which had developed into a super fortress, and entered the vast Outland.

Recruiting elite combat NPCs requires the green devil mark to exchange. The explosion rate of this thing is very low. It has accumulated less than ten for so long.

The average level 55 NPC warrior has only 35000 HP, and the elite has about 10000. The average combat effectiveness is slightly lower than that of ordinary demons.

This Outland world is ravaged by demons and chaotic forces, and the energy in the void becomes extremely violent. Players will get a negative buff in the wild of this world. There is a certain probability of failure when casting any spell, and the mana consumption and casting time will increase by 50%.

Only in the area controlled by the expeditionary army, the void energy is calmed by the mage tower established in the expeditionary army fortress, and this negative buff will disappear.

Therefore, the early land reclamation really depends entirely on the human life piled up by NPC. Players do not play any role in it, even Lin Xiao is the same.

Although the level is quite high, there are a lot of strong demons in Outland. Any strengthened elite above level 70 can drive them everywhere with a group of younger brothers.

Level 70 strengthening elites can have 100000 blood. For example, the powerful race of demons can have 200000 or 300000 blood. They have strong attack power and great spell power. Plus a group of little brothers, they can't fight at all.

It has been nearly half a year since he opened the door and left now. He has died at least 20 times. It is still a small number. Those in their early fifties have died hundreds or even hundreds of times in Outland. The powerful demons have made them doubt their life.

After leaving the expeditionary army fortress, many players who are out to eliminate sporadic demons know that they are going out to build a fortress and pay attention to them one after another.

At this stage, few players dare to go out to build a fortress, and most of them are in the accumulation period.

This squadron has 100 NPC soldiers, of which 50 of the 95 ordinary soldiers are soldiers, 5 stalker scouts, 10 archers, 10 mages, 10 knights and 10 priests.

Three of the five elites are melee warriors and two mages.

The team configuration is reasonable. Even when encountering strengthened elite demons, it has the power of a war... Although it will suffer heavy losses.

All five stalker scouts were sent out to check around, so as not to run into a large group of demons without knowing it.

Three days later, Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin ran back to the expedition fortress with half of the dead and less than one-third of their men.

Less than 50 kilometers after leaving the expeditionary army fortress, he was found by a flying demonized monster. After killing several small demons in a row, he attracted the eyes of a level 76 leader demon supervisor, who personally led the demon army to encircle and suppress them. He had to leave half of the team and ran back in frustration.

"Not at all."

He was forced to come back as soon as he left the expedition. Even if he ran out next time, he would be besieged and killed by demons soon.

On the side, his girlfriend flapped her golden wings and said:

"We need to train an elite team. At least we need to train a group of elites above level 65 to make a way."

"I see."

Return to the expeditionary army fortress, re recruit a group of recruits with the remaining demon mark, a total of one and a half squadrons, with the same configuration as before, and leave the expeditionary army fortress again.

However, this time, instead of running out, they gathered at an outpost called Eagle hill in the west of the fortress. There are a large number of NPCs and other players in the outpost. If they encounter a large number of demons before, they can escape to the outpost and avoid being driven away as before.

Xiongyinggang is located in a highland more than 40 kilometers away from the expeditionary army fortress. It is surrounded by cliffs. There is only one road around the highland. As long as we keep the only intersection and do a good job of air defense, we can firmly hold here.

When Lin Xiao arrived, he happened to see a large group of about two or three thousand demons attacking the eagle sentry under the command of a demon supervisor. Many elite NPC soldiers were guarding the pass. A large number of players squatted on the city wall and controlled the crossbow on the city wall to attack below.

Inside the sentry, two teams of players led by two NPC soldiers are on standby.

Like Lin Xiao, they are ready to take the route of the fortress Corps. They are also training. When the main devil attack is frustrated and retreats, they will take the opportunity to beat the water dog.

At this time, he could not go to the highland. Lin Xiao led his troops to hide behind the sentry post, ready to pick up a bargain at last.
