MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 18 war on the verge of
[Long live the anchor] The sixth day after the game ends, at five in the morning.
Southeastern Hans State, Free State of Bavaria.
The sky was just bright, and the morning sun shed its first rays of light on the earth, shining on the icy war machine.
The army is assembling.
Unlike China, which controls public opinion and maintains stability, the panic of the people of Hansi has spread to an exaggerated level after the video of Jiuqu came out.
People started taking time off, quitting, leaving the country in large numbers.
After all, other countries in Europe seem to be much safer than Hans at this moment (except for John, which also mutated).
In Europe, the convenience of cross-border travel has accelerated the migration of the population by two or three notches.
Due to the existence of the series of videos "The Mutation in High Swan Castle: The Story of the Hero's Resistance", the pressure felt by the Hans country is far higher than that of any other country in the world that has undergone an aberration.
"Another call from Congress?" The staff officer asked Major General Ludwig von Bismarck cautiously.
Major General Ludwig's face was ashen, and he snorted heavily, not wanting to answer the staff officer's question.
The president and Congress are consulting three times a day, urging troops to send in—doesn't Ludwig want to send troops? It's not that the situation doesn't allow it!
About 80 years ago, the strength of the Hans army was almost the strongest in the world, and it could be called an invincible player in Europe. Even the Soviet Red Army was beaten to pieces. But over the years, due to historical reckoning and the development of its own economy and military industry, the Hansi army has long since lost its glory.
It is reported that at the time of the Hans State armament inspection in 2014, 150 of the 254 fighter jets and transport aircraft could not fly, and only 42 of the 109 Typhoon fighter jets could be used. By 2017, the land, sea, and air of the Hans State were very miserable. All 6 submarines of the Navy were inactive, and all 14 transport aircraft of the Air Force were lying in their nests, not to mention the land. The scene of the "Tank Cemetery" is very spectacular. The dismantling was successfully dismantled, but the new one was not delivered in time.
The Hans Ministry of Defense pointed out in the "2017 Report on the Operational Readiness of the Main Weapon Systems of the Hans State Bundeswehr" that less than half of the Hans State's 224 "Leopard-2" main battle tanks can be used, and the Navy's 13 There are only 5 seaworthy frigates. The overall situation is appalling.
Major General Ludwig had to patch things up among the various armies in the country, called up the armaments of the garrisoned troops in various places, and in the name of "defending the Hans country", he just got together a passable army.
However, when he finally assembled the army, before he had time to prepare the army and do some training, he was urged to send troops; even now that he has sent troops, he was called by Congress to remind him:
"At this moment, the eyes of the world are on Hans Country."
"You must fight a beautiful victory!"
Shaking away the shadow in his heart, Major General Ludwig let out a long sigh.
Different from the complacency when he just took over the task a few days ago, at this moment, there is a faint uneasiness in his heart.
His preparations were not particularly sufficient. After all, the time was so tight. It only took three days from accepting the mission to mobilizing the army and setting off.
Many times, tactics have to give way to strategy, and no one on the battlefield will give you enough time to prepare.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the people at home, Major General Ludwig had to attack in advance.
According to the analysis of mysticism experts and various other experts, the early morning, when the light of the day is bright, is the time when monsters are the most vulnerable and slack. Major General Ludwig finally chose the early hours of today as the moment to dispatch troops.
He walked to the window and looked at his army in the distance. Soldiers and tanks filled the mountains and fields seemed to dye the whole world in camouflage. Military aircraft circled in the sky, and a solemn atmosphere permeated the battlefield.
It seemed that this army was so powerful that it was about to crush all enemies standing in front of him.
This scene made Major General Ludwig's mood a little easier.
In any case, the arrow is on the string and has to be sent, and he must and can only fight one victory today.
"God bless the country of Hans."
He said so softly to himself.
Afterwards, Major General Ludwig cleaned his clothes, strode out of the private lounge, and walked into the strategic command.
"Army attack!"
——
Let's switch our perspective to Shang Yinhe.
At this moment, it was 12:00 noon in China, which was seven hours behind Hans.
Shang Yinhe is nervously preparing for his third game.
In the past few days, his anchor points have accumulated nearly 3,000 points, and he invested all these points into [ability-long live anchor], but it didn't work at all.
He almost wondered if he had made a mistake, could this **** ability actually not evolve?
But considering that this ability has already devoured so many points from him, if you don't continue to add more points, these sunk costs will really be wasted. Therefore, Shang Yinhe boldly added some points to this ability, and he would not stop until evolution.
Finally, just before he entered the third world, just after he cast a full 3,000 anchor points on [ability-long live anchor], the text on the page changed.
He finally saw the evolution of his abilities.
3000 points! Equivalent to 3 billion views!
Shang Yinhe let out a long breath.
However, looking at the ability after evolution, Shang Yinhe felt that the investment was worth the money.
[ability - long live the anchor]
[Explanation: Players can post videos and get anchor points from the posted videos for strengthening. Before strengthening, they can choose the direction of evolution. 1 million video views can be converted into 1 anchor point. ]
[Note: The video publishing account is bound to "Nine Songs", and comes with the following functions: top-level automatic music matching, top-level exclusive titles, top-level automatic viewing angle optimization, top-level automatic material collection, top-level automatic post-production optimization, top-level related equipment, top-level popularity Effect, whole network publishing, forced sticking, allow comments, allow publishing series of videos. Videos must be rated S- or above in order to be published. ]
[Current anchor points: 74]
Compared with the previous one, [Ability - Long Live Anchor] has added a new function point to choose the evolutionary direction in advance.
This can be regarded as a very useful function, which is convenient for Shang Yinhe to know where to throw points and how much to throw in order to have a response.
For example, the Demon King's Cloak has four evolutionary directions:
Charisma +1, requires 200 anchor points.
Majesty +1, requires 200 anchor points.
The image of the Demon King's Cloak can be changed (one-time), requiring 250 anchor points.
The image of the Demon King's Cloak can be changed permanently and requires 2000 anchor points.
These four directions of ability evolution don't look very good, at least for the current him, they are useless. In this case, Shang Yinhe doesn't need to waste points on the Demon King's Cloak.
But he didn't have time to study more things. At this moment, the rigid voice of the system was already ringing in his ears:
"The rest countdown is over."
Shang Yinhe hurriedly picked up the pig-killing knife on the table, sealed the Demon King's book back to his left hand, and prepared to be fully armed.
"The next round of games is about to begin."
"The game is in progress..."
"The game is confirmed."
"Game Name: Death Maze."
"Transmission begins..."
Shang Yinhe's eyes went black, and he started the transmission again.
"Transmission is complete."
"Jinjiang Game System is here to serve you wholeheartedly."
Shang Yinhe slowly regained his vision.
He found himself standing in front of a castle with a semi-circular arch standing in front of it, a ring-shaped spire rising into the sky, dark green vines crawling on the high gray city walls, and splendid crystal stained glass illuminating every A room is adorned with dreamlike colors.
A little familiar.
No, it should be very familiar.
This... isn't this his castle in the world of [Demon Lord Landlord]?
He remembers that this castle has a counterpart in the real world, called Hohenschwangau Castle, also known as Hohenschwangau Castle, and even the world-wide mutation is named "High Swan Castle mutation".
Why is he here again?
The system's voice sounded flat: "Please choose your appearance."
It's the face-pinching session again?
Shang Yinhe once again admired the prosperous beauty of the demon king wearing the cloak from the aerial perspective for a while, and continued to confirm directly.
The face pinching session is over, but Shang Yinhe still can't control his body.
The demon king in the cloak looked up at the castle and walked slowly into the castle.
In the world of [The Landlord of the Demon King], the first floor of the castle is the four rooms of monsters. The road is not complicated. Shang Yinhe has walked there countless times, and he can feel the road with his eyes closed.
However, unlike the rudimentary version of the castle of [The Landlord of the Demon King], when the Demon King walked into the castle this time, an empty hall was displayed in front of him, the torches dimly illuminated one side of the ground, and the ferocious giant beast statues stood. On both sides of the hall, there is a bronze gate facing the castle gate.
The gate of the castle slowly closed behind the Demon King, taking away the light from the outside, except for the faint light of the torches in the hall.
At this moment, the perspective in mid-air disappeared, and Shang Yinhe was finally able to control himself.
Just like the previous world, all the things he prepared, such as butcher knives, military rations, etc., were not brought into this world.
In this regard, Shang Yinhe has long expected. In fact, he even suspected that even if those things were brought into the game world, they might not work.
After all, the rules of the game world are very peculiar. In the previous world, he would not feel hungry or thirsty, and he would not even need to go to the toilet, let alone any other physiological needs.
If he really brought in things like military rations, he doubted that in the rules of the game world, it might not be edible.
Soon, the voice of the narrator rang in the hall, and his tone this time carried a sense of historical vicissitudes:
"You are a brave man."
Shang Galaxy is full of black lines.
He was a Demon Lord before, and he still wears the Demon Lord's cloak and carries the Demon Lord's book!
Okay, now he's a hero again.
This role can be misplaced!
