King from scratch

He Xingwen received a summary report of the conflict.

After He Xingwen released the Poverty Alleviation Mission in Beast God Wilderness, energetic and interested players flocked to Beast God Wilderness.

This is the advantage of an excessively large player base. No matter what the task is, there will be a large number of players participating in it. Only the number of participants in the task is too large, and there is no trouble of too few participants in the task.

Players follow the knights of the kingdom and start planning city construction from the outermost edge of the Beast God Field.

The first thing the player arrives at is the disaster site to the west of the Beast God Field.

The grassland collapsed, the ground was muddy, and the vast expanse of land was healing itself.

The backwardness of the Beast God Field brought them some convenience in this disaster. The collapse of buildings was a bad follow-up to most of the disasters, but the outermost area of ​​the Beast God Field had no buildings at all, so their disaster victims It's actually over.

The tribes in the affected area died instantly, and the collapsed ground swallowed up the traces, and there was nothing else.

The living orcs avoided these areas one after another. Players started from here and started infrastructure construction on the ready-made collapsed ground.

Similar to the infrastructure in other regions of the kingdom, the knights of the kingdom plan the location of the city, and the players stay and continue to advance the infrastructure construction.

Each city location was delineated in the hands of the knights of the kingdom, and the influx of players advanced all the way, spread all the way from the disaster-stricken area, and advanced along the wilderness of the beast god-inevitable friction with the aborigines.

But the aborigines are not the biggest trouble. After all, the devil has already had contact with the wolf king and obtained a tacit understanding.

The biggest trouble is the Diman Empire bordering on the Beast God Field.

It is impossible for the player to make such a big move without attracting the attention of other forces. After the Diman Empire confirmed that the kingdom had carried out a series of activities on the Beast God Field, it responded as it should.

A conflict caused by a border friction, this is the ostensible reason.

The essence of the conflict is the Diman Empire's vigilance and dissatisfaction with the kingdom's expansion around the Diman Empire.

After all, things like border friction can also be understood as deliberate provocations.

He Xingwen stared at the report for a few minutes, then turned his head and said to He Tong who was beside him: "Humans are still the human beings I know."

"This description seems to say that human beings are terrible." The system leaned on He Xingwen's hand and looked sideways at the report: "How do you plan to respond to Diman Karen III's warning?"

"The human beings in the two worlds are so similar, as if they are repeating the past history." He Xingwen put the report aside and said: "It's hard not to make people feel emotional, as if no matter what, in human genes , some things can never be changed."

He Xingwen just sighed casually, without any intention of discussing it.

After he sighed, he answered He Tong's question: "He made a stupid decision, and the dwarves will be very happy for him to do so."

He Tong found the secret grievances between the dwarves and the Diman Empire from the database: "Are you going to fulfill your promise to the dwarves? Let the Diman Empire suffer the pain that the dwarves once suffered?"

"I'm going to find something for the Diman Empire, so that they don't pay too much attention to the kingdom's dynamics," He Xingwen said: "By the way, I will avenge the dwarves."

He Xingwen asked an NPC to call Zhe, and when Zhe arrived, he handed the report to Zhe, and made a final conclusion on the actions of the Diman Empire: "The Diman Empire needs to pay the price for provoking the kingdom."

Zhe was a little surprised to hear such a sentence. After all, the king has always been patient and extremely restrained towards other races, and rarely showed such obvious aggressiveness.

He Xingwen continued: "Go to the dwarves to discuss it. The counterattack against the Diman Empire should be based on them."

Zhe was even more surprised. He thought for a moment and asked the king: "What price do you want the Diman Empire to pay?"

He Xingwen pointed out the most important question: "I don't need to conquer a Diman Empire."

A country with a long history dominated by humans will only assimilate its enemies in turn. There is no need for He Xingwen to add a daily intrigue with humans to his smooth ruling career.

He Xingwen: "Reduce civilian deaths as much as possible, as far as possible."

Zhe fully understood the king's request, and then went to have a related conversation with the dwarf.

Considering the military strength of the Diman Empire, He Xingwen smoothly issued a related mission to the players - the large-scale event mission "The Revenge of the Dwarves".

The players quickly became excited, and countless enthusiastic players reappeared in the increasingly deserted factory, eagerly accepting tasks from the dwarves.

forum.

Revenge of the Dwarves?Did the Diman Empire have enmity with the dwarves? ! "

[I didn't expect that the thick eyebrows and big eyes of the Diman Empire would actually do such a small trick behind their backs. I have to give a sigh of relief for the dwarf brothers!I want to go to the front! 】

[Planner recently got the hang of it?So many tasks are provided at once? 】

[Let me count, the infrastructure mission of the Beast God Field, the treasure hunting mission of the Salfa Federation, the pvp copy of the outermost part of the mainland, with the daily grid jumping, plus the war with the Diman Empire... Fuck, there are too many missions up! 】

[The daily queue is full, how can I have time to participate in the war dungeon?

The first thing to do in the game is to complete the daily infrastructure construction time-moving bricks, then jump a grid to check your European energy value, then go to the Salfa Federation to pick up garbage, and finally go to the Beast God Field to help the poor. After being circled, he was directly kicked out by the anti-addiction system. He didn't even have time to participate in the pvp instance, let alone the instance of Diman Empire. 】

[Hurry up, I've finally saved enough credit points to change to an advanced career! 】

[I glanced at the mission introduction, hey, the Diman Empire is actually the main culprit for the split of the Dwarf Kingdom?Sure enough, they are humans with malicious intentions! 】

[The reward for this mission, the favorability of the dwarves has increased a lot!There are even special equipment for dwarves? 】

[I don't care about rewards or anything else. I want to participate in the mission mainly to maintain my brotherhood with the dwarves. 】

[The conditions for the success of this mission are too harsh, the Diman Empire split?It's okay to directly copy the experience of the dwarf kingdom. 】

[This is called blood debt, understand? 】

[I know what a fart, don’t look at the mission introduction for the dwarves, I seriously suspect that the real reason is that the Diman Empire hindered the kingdom’s poverty alleviation in the Beast God Field. 】

【You mean, that time when Diman Empire fought with players? 】

[Didn't you say it was a border conflict? 】

[As far as the border conflict, the Diman Empire lined up directly at the border. When they came up, they beat up and sent the players away. It was obvious that they were doing things on purpose. 】

[Then the player came back after being revived, and was blasted continuously. The progress of the city's infrastructure construction stopped immediately, and then such a task was sent out today. The reason is not obvious enough? 】

[Kingdom, the real version son: Even if it's just a provocation, I want your family to be destroyed. 】

[This person has a sense of humor. 】

[A question in the front row, how did the demon talk with the orc? 】

[It seems to be going well, did the orcs not do anything to the players? 】

[This means that the Kingdom has completed the collection of the Beast God Field? 】

[That's not enough, is it? 】

[I think that after the city is built on the Beast God Field, it will be almost done. After all, it has created an established fact. 】

[The completion standard of this mission is not to defeat the Diman Empire?

There are not many obstacles for the kingdom to unify the continent, so why not take the opportunity to conquer the Diman Empire? 】

[Murder and murder, you have to tear the Diman Empire apart to start. I didn't expect you to be such a king. 】

He Xingwen didn't know if the Diman Empire had thought about what kind of feedback this small warning would get, but when a team of dwarves, kingdom npcs, and players appeared outside the border of the Diman Empire, everyone didn't know. The insider's first reaction was: Is the kingdom finally ready to go to war against the orcs?

And when this dwarf-dominated team faced the border of the Diman Empire and started camping, people realized that the team's goal was the Diman Empire.

Unlike the previous several player-led attacks, the dwarves chose to camp first, obviously preparing for a long-term battle.

Considering the size and number of people in the Diman Empire, this is a very correct preparation.

Of course, if all the players swarmed up at the moment, this war could also be ended quickly—after all, the current total number of players is enough to crush the Diman Empire.

But the protagonist of this war is not the player, but the dwarf who has a blood feud with the Diman Empire.

So it's doomed that this war will continue for some time.

It only took a few hours for the Diman Empire to go from shock to anger and then to deal with it.

He Xingwen received the reaction from Diman Karen III conveyed by Ai Zhijin. The other party suggested that there might be some kind of misunderstanding between them. conduct friendly exchanges on matters, so as to avoid unnecessary wars that lead to loss of life.

In short, let’s consider it a question that fits the diplomatic vocabulary very well.

He Xingwen asked Ai Zhijin to convey his reply, suggesting that the other party recall the truth behind the split of the dwarf kingdom, and suggested that the other party communicate directly with the dwarves.

This reply completely cut off the possibility of peace negotiations and started the protracted war between the Diman Empire and the Kingdom.

He Xingwen didn't pay too much attention to this. Even if there were twists and turns in the course of a battle whose outcome was already doomed, it would not exceed expectations.

What's more, the dwarf is the protagonist who has an irresolvable hatred with the Diman Empire, and the kingdom can only be said to be at the right time.

After He Xingwen threw the battlefield of the Diman Empire to the dwarves, he turned his attention to another matter, the contact with the elf kingdom.

As always, things went a little awry.

He Xingwen is used to the feeling that this kind of accident happened as expected.

The more He Xingwen experiences in different worlds, the more He Xingwen understands one thing: In a world full of infinite possibilities, unplanned developments are the norm, and developments that are the same as the established plan are rare.

It's like the contact between npc and elf kingdom.

He Xingwen sent a total of 18 people to contact the elf kingdom, all composed of NPCs and led by Jin.

In the end, only one npc came back, and all the other npcs were lost in the elf kingdom, and they didn't even bring back their bodies.

This is not the largest npc death that the kingdom has encountered, but it is definitely the most large-scale npc death beyond He Xingwen's expectations.

The Elven Kingdom is extremely xenophobic, and even Aizhijin did not knock on their door, so in contrast, Aizhijin has no relevant information about the Elven Kingdom.

This is also the reason why He Xingwen organized an NPC-based team to contact the Elven Kingdom, in order to prevent players from angering the other party by improper behavior, and to express the kingdom's goodwill.

But nearly wiped out?

He Xingwen was irritated for a moment, he controlled his emotions, and turned his attention to He Tong.

This is a mistake that shouldn't have happened, especially for He Tong.

It's not that He Xingwen is so shameless that he blames He Tong for his mistakes, but that He Tong is checking for leaks in He Xingwen's plan.

Because of He Xingwen's rapid growth, He Tong less and less actively proposed the optimal solution. Instead, he took a step back to check for omissions and make up for gaps in the plan proposed by He Xingwen to ensure that there will be no problems in the plan.

Now the question is before them.

He Tong calculated quickly, summed up all the relevant data, and came to the conclusion: "There is a problem in the kingdom of elves."

This conclusion is not surprising at all.After all, this world has been going wrong all the time to push it towards its established destiny.

He Xingwen: "So, another problem that could lead to the end of the world?"

He Tong's tone is very serious, but it's hard to detect. The serious system voice has no ups and downs: "I didn't notice anything abnormal..." He paused for a while, and explained to He Xingwen: "The way I perceive the world is different from that of intelligent creatures. , theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be areas in this world that I can’t perceive.”

He Xingwen was thoughtful: "You can't perceive the situation of the elf kingdom?"

"No," He Tong denied his guess: "It is because I can perceive its situation that I agree with your plan to let the people of the kingdom come into contact with the elf kingdom. According to my judgment, the elf kingdom is very important to the kingdom. Say, it should be harmless."

He Xingwen turned his head to look at He Tong. The blurred light and shadow covered the other party's expression, making it impossible to distinguish the other party's emotions at the moment.

He Xingwen sighed, and the topic suddenly jumped: "Have you found a way?"

He Tong's database ran for two seconds before he realized what the method He Xingwen said was referring to.

He Tong: "Not yet."

He Xingwen stared at the light and shadow: "I want to see you."

"I don't have any expression changes," He Tongyi said with a straight look: "The emotional fluctuations of intelligent creatures are generated in the data, and the appearance of human beings is simulated to be constant."

"I'm not a human being." He Tong said calmly, "You can't get all the emotions a human being would have from me."

Although He Tong's tone was the same as before, He Xingwen could still catch that subtle fluctuation.

There is no reason, but He Xingwen guesses that He Tong is not very happy to admit it.

Kind of cute.

Intelligent life generally seldom undergoes huge changes in behavior patterns in such a short period of time.

The reason for the change in perception is that the person who produced the idea has changed.

Because he likes it, even the dullness of the other party becomes cute in his eyes.

The short life of human beings has become extraordinarily intense because of the existence of these strong emotions.

The length of life cannot define the meaning of its existence. A long life will lead to the boring pursuit of death, while a short life can often have the strongest emotions.

Just like He Xingwen and He Tong.

After confirming the relationship between the two parties, He Xingwen made a change, and was keen to go one step further, leaving each other without regrets in the short life.

And He Tong has hardly changed. What he looked like before the relationship between the two parties was confirmed, and what he still looks like now, he slowly

Following He Xingwen's footsteps, he felt a little puzzled by the urgency of the other party.

Pleased by He Tong's reaction, He Xingwen smiled without any haze and said, "But what I want is not the emotional changes that belong to human beings, do I not know enough about human beings?"

He said: "I like you, so I want to know you better."

He Tong couldn't resist He Xingwen's straightforward confession.

He Tong was silent for a moment, engraved these pictures in the database, and hid them in the most core area.

"I like you too," He Tong honestly described his heart: "I like you more than you."

He Xingwen admits this, and He Tong really has such a strong feeling for him, it even makes people doubt whether intelligent life can be born with such a strong emotion.

The eternal indifference of intelligent life to other things makes the other party's strong emotion for a certain existence particularly moving.

Satisfied, He Xingwen jumped back to the previous topic: "You judged that the elf kingdom is harmless, but the current trend is that the elf kingdom is not harmless..." He Xingwen paused slightly: "Your judgment is wrong."

He Tong: "Yes, there is only one reason to explain this situation. The elf kingdom somehow deceived my perception, so that my judgment was wrong."

This is theoretically impossible.

After all, the subject of this sentence is the system, what kind of concept is it to deceive the perception of the system? ——Even the system didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He Xingwen: "How is Jin's situation?"

He Tong sensed the other party's situation: "Still not awake."

Jin, the only survivor who came into contact with the kingdom of elves, fell into a coma after returning to the kingdom and has not yet woken up.

No one knows what happened to them in the elf kingdom.

"It seems that we have to increase our vigilance against the Elf Kingdom," He Xingwen said, "I want to know what happened in the Elf Kingdom. If it is really a problem that can lead to the end of the world, then we must solve it before it intensifies. "

Before the threat that may lead to doomsday, the player is the eternal optimal solution.

Not only because of their immortality, but also because they have an absolute advantage: unless the elf kingdom is strong enough to wrestle with the game's main console, players cannot encounter a desperate situation beyond the bottom line of the game.

In other words, they are escorted by "God the Father".

If the elf kingdom can be strong enough to confront "Father God"...

This may not exist.

Father God is the creator god of this world, and all creatures in this world belong to his creation in principle (the earth creatures that have not been assimilated by this world are not counted).

The laws of the world are here, God the Father is the undoubted top of the food chain, and it is impossible for the food chain to have two tops.

He Xingwen made a decision, and the kingdom quickly formed a second team to contact the elf kingdom.

With fifty kingdom knights as team members, Du Lun as the leader of the kingdom knights, and He Shu, Wu Xing and Wang Lun as the team commanders, the team set off for the elf kingdom.

There is no aborigine, no npc, and no ordinary players. It is an elite team formed purely by the Special Bureau.

He Xingwen did what he said, raised the level of vigilance against the Elven Kingdom, handed over this task to the Special Investigation Bureau, and didn't even equip them with a temporary resurrection point.

After all, in the most dangerous situation, returning to the kingdom after death might be the best situation.

The team set off silently.

The Elf Kingdom is located in the Andava Mountains. Before this disaster destroyed the outermost part of the Elf Kingdom, the area where the Elf Kingdom was located was surrounded by dense forests, and no one knew what was going on inside the forest.

The Andava Mountains are different from the tops of the mountains. It has only one main mountain range, extending east-west along the Neiva Plain and the Canyon of the Dead, while the Kingdom of the Elves is located in the Andava Mountains, along the rolling mountains and continuous forests. Among them, the kingdom of elves is strictly covered.

This forest is also different from the Everfree Forest. Druids are integrated with nature. As extreme environmentalists, they do not destroy nature.And the elves transformed nature into what they wanted.

As a result, this forest is extremely tall and dense. Looking from a distance under the mountains, the shadow of the forest is like layers of black clouds, bringing inexplicable pressure.

The space teleportation point is in front of the forest where the Andava Mountains were affected by the disaster and collapsed.

Wang Lun raised his head and looked forward. The huge trees formed a dense forest, which seemed to be unable to penetrate even the light. He shuddered: "I have an ominous premonition."

Wu Xing was very dissatisfied: "Don't be crowed, it's better to hurry up and pray that we can successfully complete the task."

Wang Lun sighed: "Brother, if this task is simple, can it fall into our hands?"

He has realized since he received this task: "This task will definitely cause waves."

After He Shu looked around, he ignored Wu Xing and Wang Lun's nonsense, and said directly, "Du Ming, get ready."

Du Ming gestured to the knights of the kingdom, and all the knights of the kingdom sorted out their weapons on the spot, preparing for the next action.

The team slowly walked into the forest through the gap of the fallen trees.

The forest was extremely quiet, only the slight sound of footsteps as the team moved forward in silence followed them deep.

Without incident, they crossed the collapsed area and entered deeper into the forest.

The forest is still very quiet.

Wang Lun accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a crisp sound, which was extremely loud in the unbearable silence.

Wang Lun looked at his feet impetuously, and kicked it away: "Is it a little too quiet here? Not even a bird?"

Wu Xing continued: "It doesn't look like a forest."

The forest is always lively, and all kinds of animals form a complete ecological chain, which is indispensable.

But here, apart from the endless forest, there are no traces of any living creatures.

Du Ming, who was walking silently at the forefront, made a gesture, and the advancing team came to a halt. Du Ming walked back to the middle of the team and met He Shu and the others.

"The situation is not quite right," Du Ming said, "The observers in charge of perceiving the ether told me that the fluctuation of the ether here is tending to be calm."

The kingdom knight behind him added: "From where we walked to here, the closer to the interior of the forest, the quieter the ether."

He Shu: "Is there any danger?"

"It can't be confirmed at the moment," Du Ming said, "But you'd better be mentally prepared."

After a brief pause, the team continued towards the interior of the forest.

Unexpectedly, the team arrived at the elf kingdom without any danger.

"I thought there would be elves shooting arrows at us?" Wang Lun whispered, "Isn't this the most common scene in comics? Why didn't anything happen?"

Wu Xing didn't have time to talk to him, he was staring at the scene in front of him with a sigh.

The reason why they can confirm that they have arrived in the elf kingdom is very simple.

The most central area of ​​this forest is not a forest, but a tree so huge that it surpasses human imagination.

How big is this tree?

Wu Xing raised his head and looked up. All he could see was the shadow covered by the crown of the tree, and he could only vaguely see the broken sky through the gaps in the crown.

This tree stands on the ground, supporting the sky, standing upright, making people aware of their own insignificance.

"No." He Shu glanced at the tree and immediately noticed the abnormality: "This tree is so big, even if it is outside the Andava Mountains, you should be able to see it."

Wang Lun followed closely and said, "When we were observing the forest outside, we didn't see such eye-catching towering trees."

Wu Xing reacted: "Illusion?"

"It's also possible that the non-anomalous forest we saw before was an illusion."

He Shu gestured to Du Ming.

A kingdom knight stepped forward tentatively, approaching the big tree.

In the next second, before the others could react, the two kingdom knights who were probing forward suddenly jumped forward, and rushed towards the big tree without hesitation. The speed was fast and the reaction was sharp. , climbed up the tree in twos and outs, and disappeared from their sight.

The scene was quiet for two seconds without reacting, Wang Lun said in a tone of "Look, I knew it would be like this", "An accident happened."

Wu Xing looked sideways at He Shu: "What should we do next?"

He Shu stared at the towering tree in front of him for a moment, and considering His Majesty the king's serious attitude towards this task before departure, he made a decision: "Some people stay here and do nothing, while others return to the kingdom to report the situation."

Therefore, the team is divided into two groups here.

Logically speaking, those who stay don't need to wait too long, because the existence of space teleportation greatly shortens the time required for players to go back and report the situation.

But accidents always come suddenly.

The teams that were divided into two groups encountered accidents.
