Chapter 156: Information that cannot be passed on
"What should we do?"
"It seems that the information that we are under attack cannot be passed on."
On the towering walls of [Winter City], a commander was looking out of the city with melancholy.
Countless dark camp guards, all wearing uniform dark gray armor, walked towards the main city step by step.
At any time.
Attacking a city is not an easy task.
Because the attacking party often needs to pay extremely high losses and casualties.
Generally speaking.
The difference in military strength should be at least 10:1 to have a hope of conquering the main city.
According to Xu Ran's memory in his previous life.
He has a general impression of the military strength of the major main cities in the early stage of the game.
As a relatively important main city in the Frost Empire and even the entire Light Camp, the military strength of [Winter City] far exceeds that of [Frozen City] in both quantity and quality!
And when building this main city.
The quality of the template blueprint seems to correspond to the legendary rare quality.
Just one level weaker than the epic.
The materials used to build this main city are even more outrageous.
Almost all of them are of epic quality.
There is no doubt.
The defensive ability of this main city absolutely crushes the distant [Ice City]!
The reason is very simple.
When this main city was built, a huge amount of resources were invested by the Light Camp.
There is no benefit without reason in this world.
Benefits are the root of everything.
Because there is a mithril mine only three kilometers away from [Winter City]!
Mithril.
It is an extremely special and rare metal in "Eternity".
It is very precious.
It is so precious that there are only four deposits in the whole world.
Among them, the Frost Empire and the Natural Forest each contain one.
The remaining two are in the territory of the Dark Camp.
Mithril usually appears silvery white.
It doesn't look much different from ordinary silver.
Except for its special luster that is always emanating from it, and its extremely high affinity with magic elements.
Its sturdiness is far superior to steel.
But it is much lighter.
Xu Ran remembered that in his previous life, the Frost Empire even once "handed over" this main city and the mithril vein to the dark camp.
This also led to the dark camp gaining a great advantage at the beginning.
The president of the Magician Association from the Holy Light City, the legendary great magician Cullen who had lived for who knows how many years, had a strong interest in mithril.
He said.
Mithril.
It is the most mysterious and rare metal in the world.
All forces will fight for it.
Its ductility is as great as bronze, and it can emit a luster that shines on everything like glass.
As long as you find a dwarf strongman above the Grandmaster level, you can make it into equipment that is stronger than steel but as light as a goose feather.
No one can understand its nature.
The beauty and splendor is like silver.
But the luster of mithril will not gradually fade with the passage of time.
Instead, it will become more terrifying and mysterious because it absorbs and entangles countless magic elements.
Bright light!
Rumor has it.
The elves from the [Natural Forest] used mithril to create a lock and a key!
The so-called lock is the Stardust Gate that was later used to seal the cracks in the World Tree.
The World Tree had long withered and collapsed over countless years.
Therefore, a hollow void was left behind.
The origin of the elements and the eternal world is constantly emitting.
So in order to fill the gap caused by the withering of the World Tree, this Stardust Gate forged with countless mithril became the most gorgeous "moon" in the sky.
That's right.
In the eternal world.
If it is at night.
Players only need to look up to find a shocking scene.
Above the sky.
There are actually two moons hanging.
One of them is the rumored Stardust Gate.
Of course.
Magic affinity and extremely high sealing properties are not all the functions of mithril.
The characteristics of solidity and magic immunity make it a hot god-level material in the eyes of countless strong people.
Of course, this does not mean that the quality of mithril is god-level.
Rather, it praises its special effects.
It is rumored that the dwarven godsmith Soran has a mithril armor.
About 120 years ago, this dwarven godsmith was attacked by the dark camp.
It was with this mithril armor.
He actually ignored the special effects of epic weapons and countless magical skills bombarding him, and calmly left the encirclement.
From then on.
The importance of mithril has been greatly improved in everyone's mind.
So.
As this mine was explored and discovered.
The light camp did not hesitate at all and directly set it as the highest strategic goal.
Whether it is to protect or better mine these mithrils, the light camp has no reason not to protect the mithril veins.
But now.
The dark army has surrounded [Winter City] and the prosperous area of the mithril veins.
In order to improve the efficiency of mithril mining.
NPCs built a town near this mithril vein.
As time went by, this barren area gradually prospered.
Now.
It has become an impregnable fortress.
As for the scale of the territory.
Xu Ran had known about it for a long time.
From strongholds, villages, towns, fortresses, cities, all the way to the highest-level main city.
As the level of the territory increases.
The unlocked functions will also increase accordingly.
Not only that.
The defensive capabilities and fortifications, as well as the scope of the territory under jurisdiction, will also be gradually improved.
Fortress.
It is already a large territory second only to ordinary cities like [Eternal City].
But even so.
Facing a large number of enemies, the fortress-level territory is still not enough.
Because the number of legions sent by the dark camp this time is really too many!
With the emergence of the teleportation light.
Millions of troops appeared in unison in the [Ice and Snow Rift] not far from [Winter City].
This place is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are 55-level gold-level elite monsters wandering everywhere.
The name is [Atalis Frost Troll].
Compared with players.
These elite monsters who like to move in groups have a terrifying combat power.
Therefore.
When Xu Ran appeared here with his god-level pet, the Valkyrie of the Night Elves, Wei Lisi, he quickly made corresponding instructions.
First, find out the approximate number and corresponding strength of the dark camp army.
Then specify the next plan.
After a glance.
Xu Ran found that there were scouts of the dark camp nearby.
In addition.
There were only screams from the messenger sentinels of the light camp from time to time.
However, the epic legion [Eternal Guards] is not a vegetarian.
For this group of NPCs who have mastered the laws of space, it is not a problem to detect the approximate size of the enemy.
With the rustling footsteps,
Not long after.
The scouts sent by the epic legion learned about the relevant information of the dark camp army in the distance.
