208: Hell difficulty
Arriving at the underground level of the Tongtian Tower, the area spans about ten li, with nothing but a metal platform in the center, and empty space all around.
Although it seems like nothing, it hides the city's strongest defensive weapons and is the core of the entire city.
The intelligent core is inside the metal platform, including the city crystal that is about to be generated, so the defensive weapons are also top-tier.
You Lan took a deep breath when she saw this, then led everyone towards the metal platform.
When she inserted the City Building Token into the metal platform, the System notification sound rang out.
System Notification: You are the first Gang to build a city in a special area. The city defense difficulty is Hell-level. Do you confirm your application to build a city?
Hearing the notification, You Lan bit her red lips and turned to look at Xiao Xing.
Only after seeing Xiao Xing nod did she confirm.
System Notification: Building a city at your current location requires 10 billion gold coins. Do you confirm to generate the City Crystal?
Yes!
You Lan gritted her teeth, and 10 billion gold coins were immediately deducted from her backpack.
System Notification: City Crystal is being generated. Please wait...!
Seeing this, You Lan and the others were both nervous and excited.
They were about to have their own city, which made them incredibly happy.
This was also the ultimate goal of all Gangs; only by establishing a city could they truly make a lot of money.
System Notification: City Crystal generation complete. The Siege monsters will arrive tomorrow at 12:00 PM sharp. At that time, a wave of monsters will appear every hour for 12 consecutive waves. Please prepare for defense!
Seeing the notification, You Lan was a bit stunned. She hadn't expected to spend so many gold coins and still have to defend against 12 waves of Siege monsters.
But before she could react, the full-server announcement rang out.
System Announcement: Attention everyone, the You Lan Guild Leader has applied to establish a city on Tianxin Island. The Siege battle will begin tomorrow at 12:00 PM sharp and will last for 24 hours. Everyone, come and grab it! [7456.122]
System Announcement: Attention everyone, the You Lan Guild Leader has applied to establish a city on Tianxin Island. The Siege battle will begin tomorrow at 12:00 PM sharp and will last for 24 hours. Everyone, come and grab it! [7456.122]
...Three consecutive announcements rang out, completely shocking all players on the server.
What in the world is this You Lan Guild?
For Dragon Country players, the You Lan Guild was not unfamiliar, but for other countries, they had never even heard of it.
Moreover, establishing a city usually triggers a Divine Kingdom Announcement, but now it's a world announcement.
According to the location indicated by the System, it's on an island in the sea, and it's a lawless zone.
The most shocked were the major Guild leaders. They also understood some of the rules for building cities; building a city in a lawless zone meant the defense difficulty was extremely terrifying.
Even if they withstood 12 waves of Siege monsters, there were still players from all over the world eyeing it, making successful establishment almost impossible.
Don't expect players worldwide to do nothing, because besides your own Family, no one wants to see you doing well.
Soon after the announcement, it shook the entire world, and various news websites constantly discussed the matter of city building.
Major media stations, including large and small streamers, rushed to Tianxin Island, preparing to live stream the entire process.
This was a huge event. As long as they could live stream the Siege in real-time, even small streamers would gain countless traffic.
Almost everyone in the world would watch, but there are only so many streamers, so one can imagine how terrifying the traffic would be.
But these people weren't the main concern. The most important thing was that Guilds from various countries also took action, continuously gathering manpower and rushing to the vicinity of Tianxin Island.
Even if they couldn't seize the city, they had to destroy it and prevent others from having an easy time.
All along, various countries have targeted the Dragon Country in reality, let alone in the game.
Especially the Japan, USA, Cold Country, Philippines Country, Eagle Country, India Country, Vietnam Country, Tai Country, and others.
These countries knew it was a Dragon Country Guild building the city, so they almost mobilized their entire nations. If there weren't so few ships, perhaps all players would rush to Tianxin Island.
Less than 12 hours after the announcement, the area around the city was already filled with people, and the waters surrounding Tianxin Island were densely packed with warships.
They originally wanted to destroy the city, but the City of Seven Towers was so magnificent and spectacular that their inner greed made them want to possess it.
The main reason was that the city was in a protected state and could not be attacked at all. Players could only attack once the monster Siege began.
After applying for the city, You Lan returned to organize her forces.
She organized 1 million Guild players, Shangguan Hong mobilized 3 million Dragon Country troops, and invited 6 million elites from major Super Guilds of the Dragon Country, totaling 10 million people.
And they all brought a large number of machine guns, cannons, arrow towers, and other defensive weapons.
You Lan is from the Shangguan Family, so it was essentially the Shangguan Family's Guild building the city. Elder Hong naturally came to assist.
You Lan also knew that the city's defensive weapons were astonishing, but building a city was no joke, especially in international waters.
Not to mention the Hell-level Siege monsters, they also had to Face attacks from players worldwide. No matter how many defensive weapons they had, it still felt insufficient.
To increase the success rate, Elder Hong contacted Prime Ministers worldwide via video call, hoping they would not participate in attacking the city.
However, the effect was minimal, as almost all countries refused to give him Face.
If it were in reality, they wouldn't easily take action, but this was a matter within the game, so there were no real scruples.
Besides, they weren't fools; how could they let Dragon Country players have an easy time?
Xiao Xing didn't care about players from other countries. The city's defensive firepower was terrifyingly strong. Let alone 1 billion players, even 10 billion would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
Facing this level of firepower, numbers no longer held much meaning. Only immense strength could possibly Breakthrough the defense System.
Even if they broke through the city's defense System, he was still there to guard it. No one could destroy the city... Xiao Xing activated the Elf Clan's teleportation array, allowing them to come and go freely.
Within the city, there was an estate spanning thirty li, with green mountains, clear waters, and lush trees, designed to mimic a primeval forest.
This place was prepared for the Elf Clan, and the teleportation array was within the estate. They could play however they wished.
The Elf Clan can produce various high-grade instant recovery potions and also create Attribute Treasures that increase Physique.
Just the items they produce alone could attract countless players to the city, making them extremely valuable.
He also prepared a large number of high-grade equipment, Attribute Treasures, Heavenly Demon God Tower, and other highly attractive items.
In addition, various thermal weapons from the Divine Craftsman Clan would be introduced, and combined with Tianxin Island's excellent geographical location, there was no fear of a lack of visitors.
The Elf Clan members arrived in the city. They also wanted to help defend it, but Xiao Xing didn't let them intervene.
They didn't have many people to begin with, and if they went out to defend the city, they might very well be annihilated.
A Hell-level monster Siege was no joke. Without the city's defensive firepower, even if Elder Hong had lent a large number of defensive weapons, they wouldn't be able to hold the city.
