Chapter 27
At this moment, the news that Li Cheng had placed level four soldiers in the Trading Hall had already spread throughout the entire game server.
In an instant, countless players excitedly opened the Trading Hall but they were quickly dumbfounded.
[What? Why crystals? Netherworld boss, can’t I give you gold coins?]
[I really lack iron ores, but I don’t have crystals. This is too awkward. Everyone, who has crystals? Hang them up, I’ll buy them with stones.]
[Awesome! I happen to have a crystal mine in my surrounding territory. I have a lot of crystals right now.]
Aside from the independent players, the various large guilds were also dumbfounded. When they had received the news, they had immediately prepared a large amount of gold coins, waiting to purchase Li Cheng’s level four army.
In the end, what they needed now was crystals. This stupefied them.
At this moment, in the Rose Garden, Purple Rose’s expression was filled with exhaustion. In order to collect enough gold coins, she did not sleep for an entire night. Even an iron man would not be able to endure it.
However, the resources needed to purchase them were actually crystals!
“Detestable Netherworld! Are you deliberately playing with me?” Purple Rose’s voice spread throughout the entire rose garden.
The members of the guild were so scared that they were trembling. This situation was also happening in other guilds.
They all felt as if they had been played. However, could they blame Li Cheng for this?
At that time, he had only said that he wanted to sell level four soldiers with no mention of gold coins. Although the various large guild elites hated Li Cheng, they had no choice but to quickly collect the crystals.
Although everyone cursed Li Cheng in their hearts, they still tried their best to collect the crystals with their panda eyes.
As long as they gathered 200 crystals, they could buy them. If they were too late, it might be snatched away by others.
After Li Cheng hung up the resources, countless people in the server were in an uproar. Countless gold farming groups, workshops, and players gave up on their current work and began to mine crystals with all their might.
Those players who had crystal mines nearby immediately took off. Unfortunately, these people had become Li Cheng’s workers.
“Ding, dong, player Little Toothpick has bought five hundred of your stones. You’ve received five hundred crystals!
“Ding, dong, player Want to Go to Jail has bought five hundred of your iron ore. You’ve received one thousand crystals!
“Ding, dong, player World Domination has bought forty of your Goblin Miners. You’ve received eight thousand crystals!
“Ding, dong…”
Countless system notifications rang. Some of the IDs were familiar.
These people would be the top great Lords in the Divine Dragon Alliance in the future, but now, they were fighting tooth and nail for Li Cheng’s Goblin Miners.
After closing the Trading Hall, Li Cheng continued to recruit his troops.
“Ding, dong, congratulations on recruiting three thousand Frost Marksmen. Total cost is four million gold coins!
“Ding, dong, congratulations on using Army Spawn Rate!
“Ding, dong, congratulations on recruiting three thousand Frost Marksmen for a total of four million gold coins!
“Ding, dong…”
Li Cheng still had a lot of respawn tools, so he did not feel any heartache when he used them.
In a short while, an additional 6,000 Frost Marksmen and 6,000 Heavenly Knights were all recruited.
Li Cheng’s current territory population was around 20,000. As for the remaining 2,000, he would save it for flexibility.
Looking at the recruited troops in the base, Li Cheng was extremely satisfied. Such a force was definitely an existence that could crush others at this stage of the game.
“Looks like it’s time to make a trip to the main city.” Li Cheng looked into the distance, deep in thought.
However, the newbie protection period had already passed and the players had to consider the issue of guarding their territories. If the players were not around and the territory was stolen by other players or wild monsters, it would be a disaster.
Li Cheng thought for a while and left a thousand Frost Marksmen to guard their home. These Frost Marksmen were all max-level existences, and killing monsters would not bring any benefits. It would be better to leave them to guard the home.
Li Cheng then arranged for 8,000 Heavenly Knights into The First Knights of Netherworld.
Similarly, Lillian led them. Compared to the Frost Marksmen, he preferred to lead the cavalry with the knights.
The rest of the troops were led by Luna. After making the arrangements, Li Cheng waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. Our target’s the City of Light!”
In the Tribe world, there were many aborigines. There were all kinds of races among them
Before the game players arrived, they had already lived on the continent for many years. Hence, these aboriginals had their own cities, which were the so-called main cities.
These main cities were either the important cities of the various alliances or the sanctuaries established by the churches.
Especially for the various alliances, their attitudes toward the players were different. However, they still maintained a neutral stance. They would often give out quests to the players and even recruit them into their alliances.
When the new version was released a few years later, the players grew stronger and gradually left the control of the alliance. Then, the alliances and the players became enemies.
The main city that Li Cheng was going to visit today was the City of Light. This was a small sanctuary that the Church of Light had established a long time ago.
As time passed, more and more refugees sought the protection of the God of Light. Only then did this huge city with a population of tens of millions form.
Li Cheng’s marching speed was very fast. In a short while, the outline of the city appeared in front of him.
The city wall was more than 10 meters high. From far, it looked like a giant fortress. Within the towering city wall, there were countless defensive buildings. At the top of these defensive buildings, there was a terrifying energy cluster.
Looking at this huge city, memories appeared in Li Cheng’s eyes. The City of Light—he had a deep impression of it.
In the game version a few years later, when the underground army counterattacked the surface, the final mission of the players was to defend the City of Light.
At that time, hundreds of millions of players in the entire Divine Dragon Alliance gathered outside the City of Light. The war was extremely grand, with hundreds of millions of soldiers fighting each other.
At this moment, the moment Li Cheng’s troops appeared, they attracted the attention of the City of Light’s defenders.
Looking at the elite troops in front of them, they were all shocked. “Stop, what are you doing?”
It was not surprising that the defenders were shocked. Normally, players’ troops could not enter the city, only Lords could.
However, Li Cheng was a God-blessed Knight, and he already had the authority to bring troops into the city. The defenders did not know about this yet.
Li Cheng stared coldly at the Templar Knights gathered in front of him. On the city wall, there were many city-guarding weapons aimed in his direction.
A man covered in armor and riding a tall warhorse stepped forward. His pupils constricted as he said anxiously, “Everyone stop. This is a God-blessed Knight. Open the city gate and let them pass..”
