77: How to win! Three-Eye Trail!
The 'meteor shower' that lasted for several hours finally gradually subsided. On the torn purple sky of Woma World, the tiny spatial cracks slowly mended, leaving only faint spatial ripples.
Infinite City, inside the Lords Manor.
Su Jin stood in front of the giant floor-to-ceiling window, the scene outside the canyon was already initially under control.
The Azure Lightning Cavalry Guard's iron hooves had traversed the nearby dozens of kilometers, and a preliminary topographic map had been sketched out;
Meanwhile, the 'Shadow' that had quietly slipped out delved further, searching for traces of other civilizations.
In addition to these conventional reconnaissance methods, the Sky-Peering Vine extending from Grand Void Azurewood Palace was also growing silently.
A preliminary intelligence network had already been laid out...
Su Jin's finger swept through the void, bringing up an integrated dynamic map.
On the map, blue dots representing his units were orderly spread out, exploring unknown areas, while the vast majority of areas remained deep shadows representing the unknown.
"The canyon terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is a good start," Su Jin muttered to himself. "However, it also limits our vision and initial expansion direction."
Just as he was contemplating his next course of action, a slight fluctuation came from his Lord's Imprint.
Detection of Blue Star Alliance official signal, requesting access: Woma War Zone Ā· Mutual Aid Channel (ID: LZ-WM-774)
Su Jin raised an eyebrow and mentally selected 'Access'.
The channel was very quiet, seemingly just established, with only a number in the corner of the interface rapidly refreshing.
Current Online Members: 17 ... 42 ... 95 ... 168 ...
It seemed this was the official communication and information platform the Alliance had built for all personnel participating in this Hegemony War.
Finally, the numbers stopped jumping.
Just then, the channel interface flickered slightly.
New information popped up.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: Good day, fellow Blue Star compatriots. I am Zhou Yong, Lord of Yong City. By order of the Alliance Military Department, I am here to synchronize the basic information and Precautions for this Hegemony War. I presume you have all safely landed in Woma World, and initial reconnaissance should have already begun.
Su Jin looked at the screen. This Lord of Yong City, Zhou Yong, had a somewhat familiar name. He seemed to be a Lord from previous sessions, and if he remembered correctly, he should be a veteran Lord of Tier 6.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: First, the opponents we need to pay the most attention to.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: From the Dark Star Empire, there is 'Duke of Bones' Kasa, and his Annihilation Legion. This person is known for his fearless undead sea tactics; his territory, 'Bone Throne,' is extremely efficient at converting into undead, so special vigilance is required. Additionally, there is 'Crimson Countess' Lilith, skilled in blood magic and curses, with eerie methods. She commands the elite Bloodline Knights, whose Raid capabilities are exceptionally strong.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: From the Three-Eyed Clan, there is 'Prophet' Maergan. This person has extremely high psionic attainments and is said to be able to perform short-term future predictions, making him extremely difficult to deal with. His guard, the Mind Hacker, excels at mental shock and control, a nightmare for all command systems. There is also 'Colossus Overseer' Baal; his territory, 'Molten Mountain Workshop,' produces powerful war constructs, and his frontal assault capability is second to none.
The channel was silent; everyone was silently digesting this critical information. These names and codenames represented the top-tier opponents in this Hegemony War.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: Besides the alien opponents, we also need to understand the rules of this land. Woma World is not an ownerless land. There are ancient native civilizations here, existing in the form of city-states. According to the Alliance's past data, the city-states of Woma World generally follow a similar power level classification to ours: Foundation City (Black Iron), Stable City (Bronze), Prosperous City (Silver), Heritage City (Gold).
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: Our core objective for this Hegemony War is to capture as many of these native city-states' domain crests as possible. For each city-state conquered or forced to surrender, you will receive a domain crest of the corresponding level, which converts into points. A Foundation City domain crest is 10 points, a Stable City is 100 points, a Prosperous City is 1000 points, and a Heritage City is 10000 points. After one year, the side with the highest points wins and determines the distribution rights for important secret realm resources for the next ten years.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: It needs to be specifically pointed out that there are four 'Eternal Cities' (Legendary-grade) in Woma World: Radiant City in the east, Eye of the Storm in the west, Molten Heart in the south, and Abyss Maw in the north. These four Eternal Cities have a long history and profound foundations, but there has never been a record of them being conquered by outsiders, because each of them is guarded by a true legendary-grade powerhouse!
Legendary powerhouses! A subtle stir arose in the channel.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: You need not worry too much. Under the rules of Woma World, while we cannot directly project full legendary power, the Alliance has special means. When necessary, we can temporarily activate legendary-level strikes. Although the cost is high and most are one-time uses, it is sufficient to counterbalance the local legendary powerhouses. After all, their methods are somewhat simpler compared to ours.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: But this is more of a strategic deterrent and a trump card, not to be used lightly. Therefore, the main theme of the Hegemony War will still be contests below the legendary level, and the struggle for Heritage-grade and lower city-states.
Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong: Finally, on behalf of the military, I call upon everyone to assist each other, share critical intelligence, and prioritize eliminating alien threats. The Alliance contribution system will record your merits. May your martial fortune be prosperous.
The information flow stopped, and the channel returned to silence.
Su Jin tapped the table with his fingertips, digesting the information.
The rules were clear: grab territory, get credentials, and tally points.
Simple and crude, but also the most direct.
As for the four legendary-grade Eternal Cities and the so-called legendary-grade powerhouses, Su Jin didn't pay them much mind for now.
Zhou Yong also said that those were chips for top-level games and would not be used lightly; the main forces would still be below the legendary level.
He was more concerned about the current situation.
Infinite City had landed in this canyon; the start was relatively stable, but he needed to quickly figure out the surrounding situation.
The Sky-Peering Vine's vision was still extending, and the 'Shadow's' feedback would take time.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door of the Lords Manor, and a Spirit Pivot Sword Envoy walked in.
"Lord! Four hundred kilometers to the east-southeast, a city has been discovered! Based on comprehensive intelligence analysis, it should be a Three-Eyed Race city!"
