"Haha, they didn't wait for me to find them, but they came to my door by themselves?"
Zhang Ze smiled slightly and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Hardy immediately ordered the guards to assemble and led them to follow Zhang Ze to the city wall.
At this time, the players outside the city have begun to attack the city!
Since there were no siege equipment or tools such as rope ladders, they chose to attack the city gates head-on.
Boom boom boom!
More than a hundred soldiers blocked the city gate and hacked at the city gate frantically with their weapons.
Hundreds of meters behind them, dozens of mages waved their staffs, releasing various magics, and various magic effects bloomed on the city gate.
A large red damage value slowly floated up. The city gate was already dilapidated. Wherever it could withstand the crazy attacks of these people, it had become shaky and was about to be broken in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, dozens of guards inside the city gate were trying hard to push their bodies against the city gate, with a look of fear on their faces.
They knew very well what consequences awaited them once the city gate was breached.
Hardy yelled anxiously: "Hold the door to me!"
He sent almost all his men up, but the effect was not great, and the situation of the city gate was getting worse and worse.
Zhang Ze stood inside the city gate, looking at the attributes of the city gate. He still had 19% of his health left and could hold on for at most 3 minutes.
"Mobilize the people in the city and ask them to come and help!"
Hardy waved his arm, only to be stopped by Zhang Ze.
"No need, the people will die if they come."
Zhang Ze moved his body and calmly ordered: "Open the door."
"ah?!"
Hardy's eyes widened, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked again: "What did you just say?"
"Open the door!"
Zhang Ze gave him a firm look, and Hardy gritted his teeth and shouted: "Open the door!"
The guards immediately opened the city gate and ran away like a wild beast.
Crunch...
The city gate opened to both sides, and the players who were attacking outside the gate were also stunned.
"Damn it! Did the city gate open by itself?"
"What's going on? Don't the monsters in the city want to resist?"
"There's no point in surrendering! I want to massacre the city!"
…
The players rushed in aggressively and saw a demon named "Rakshasa" looking at them coldly.
"Why doesn't this monster run away? Doesn't he want to stop all of us by himself?"
"Haha, interesting! It's rare to see such a bloody monster, let's give him a good time!"
"Leave this guy to me, I still have one monster left to complete my daily mission..."
A male warrior holding an ax rushed forward, raised the ax, and struck Zhang Ze head-on!
Snapped!
A mechanical arm stretched out from behind Zhang Ze and grabbed the male warrior's axe!
Then, in his shocked eyes, his ax was melted into molten iron by the energy beam released by the mechanical hand!
"What kind of monster is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
The soldier looked confused.
The next moment, the steel armor kicked him away.
The sudden appearance of the robot monster shocked all the players. They looked at each other, wondering how could high-tech robots appear in this online game set in the magical world?
Was this the wrong set?
Not only were they surprised, Hardy and the other guards behind Zhang Ze were also stunned.
"That man in iron armor is a subordinate of Lord Archon? Why haven't you seen him before?"
Hardy tried to recall, and he was sure that he had never seen steel armor before.
Just when everyone was extremely surprised, something even more shocking happened.
Figures appeared around Zhang Ze one after another, the Dark Dragon King, the Vampire Count, Zhu Bajie, the six-eared macaque, Poseidon, the orc swordsman...
Everyone seems to have arrived at a monster exhibition venue. There are all kinds of monsters in the world of science fiction, fantasy, mythology... all kinds of monsters.
The surprised players couldn't close their mouths. They didn't know where these monsters came from. They felt like they were dreaming.
"I heard that you are going to break through the city wall and kill the Archon?"
Zhang Ze showed a dangerous smile, pointed at himself, and said: "I am the consul. If you want to kill me, feel free to come."
"However, it's hard to say who will kill whom today."
After speaking, he waved his arm and ordered: "All the followers, kill!"
"yes!"
The followers responded with a roar, and then pounced on the confused players opposite like wolves.
"Holy shit! Did he summon all these monsters?"
"He said he was a consul? That's the mission BOSS!"
"No wonder he is so arrogant. Don't be afraid, brothers, just fuck him!"
"Yes, don't worry about dying, we can still be resurrected!"
"Kill him and get the mission reward!"
…
The players quickly reacted and rushed towards them with shouts, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely.
The Dark Dragon King faced the crowd, opened his mouth wide, and sprayed out a scorching [Fire Dragon Breath] instantly, directly burning all the players in a straight line into "burning people".
The vampire count entered the [Bloodthirsty Madness] state, turning into a ball of blood mist and charging through the crowd, unstoppable.
Zhu Bajie turned into a giant and swept the nine-tooth rake left and right. Every time, seven or eight players screamed and were swept away by him.
The six-eared macaque released fifteen clones, making the players run away with their heads in their hands. Poseidon stood in front of Zhang Ze and knocked down each one...
Ten minutes later, hundreds of players were almost dead and injured, and the remaining people retreated in horror.
powerful! So powerful!
Fear arose deep in their hearts, and they felt that they were too insignificant in front of these monsters.
"Retreat, we can't fight at all!"
"Damn, these monsters are so hard to fight, every one of them is at the BOSS level!"
"There are not many of us left, let's retreat to the camp first..."
"That's it for today. I'll come back to deal with you when I reach level 30!"
…
One man ran away, and the others began to follow suit.
Soon, all the players who were attacking the city were gone.
Hardy wanted to lead people to chase, but was stopped by Zhang Ze.
"Don't chase poor bandits."
After looking at the badly damaged city gate, Zhang Ze said to Hardy: "Go to Morgan and get a sum of money from him to repair the city gate. Otherwise, the next time players attack the city, it will be even more unstoppable."
"Yes!" Hardy nodded respectfully. He now looked at Zhang Ze with admiration.
Before, he only thought that Zhang Ze was a capable and ambitious consul, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful!
He can actually summon all kinds of monsters to fight for him, which is even more powerful than the royal magician!
He saw the hope of this city from Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze glanced at the guards behind Hardy. They were all injured, and it must be difficult for them to do physical work.
So he shook his head slightly and said, "If you don't have enough manpower, I can send a few followers to help you."
Hardy was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord Consul!"
Not far away, the civilians hiding saw Zhang Ze fighting off the players, and they started talking about it.
"The newly appointed consul defeated all the enemies by himself. How amazing!"
"Not only that, haven't you heard? He also took care of Viscount Cromwell!"
"Really? Viscount Cromwell is a noble! He is just a consul. Do you really dare to take action?"
"It's true. I have a relative who is a soldier. He told me that the consul rushed into the viscount's house and dragged the viscount out. Hey! It's so fun!"
"So, this consul is a good official?"
"It's hard to say! Let's not jump to conclusions yet. What if it turns out to be another corrupt official?"
"Hey, I hope this Lord Consul will do well and give us something to eat first. We are all going to starve to death."
…
Zhang Ze was arranging work. Old Morgan walked up to him and whispered: "Sir, the food in the city is only enough for one day... If you really want to save the people in the city, you'd better solve the food problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, more and more people will starve to death."
Zhang Ze pursed his lips. He was not afraid of a fight, but where was he going to find food?
That’s not just food for one or two people, but for more than 10,000 people!
This is a bit difficult.
"I know, I'll find a way."
Zhang Ze could only agree first, but he had no clue now.
"How about asking for help from the big guys?"
Zhang Ze thought for a while and then rejected the idea. He estimated that the situation in other territories should be similar to here. Food and money are very short, and there is not much help.
"So, you have to rely on yourself."
The previous trip with Hardy to explore the player's camp was interrupted because the player attacked the city.
Now that Hardy and his people were seizing the time to repair the city gates and fortifications, Zhang Ze decided to explore the camp by himself.
After confirming the specific location to Hardy, Zhang Ze mounted the Dark Dragon King and took off amidst the exclamations of everyone.
In the dungeon, Viscount Cromwell was shackled and had a gloomy expression. He had quietly sent someone to send a distress letter to the royal relatives in the capital. He believed it would be delivered in the next few days.
"Damn you! How dare you attack me? I will make you die without a burial place!"
Viscount Cromwell cursed Zhang Ze severely in his heart.
At this time, a prison guard sneaked in and whispered: "Lord Viscount, those players just came to attack the city!"
"What?" Viscount Cromwell was taken aback, but he soon smiled again and asked, "How is the battle going? Did the consul run away in fear?"
"Uh... no."
The guard said with a complicated expression: "The Archon has driven back all the players."
"This is impossible!" Viscount Cromwell cried out, knowing very well how weak the city's defenses were.
The city walls are damaged, the gates are old, and the number of guards is insufficient, not to mention their combat effectiveness.
In this case, how can it be possible to fight off the fierce players?
Are you kidding me? !
"It's true!" the guard said solemnly: "The Archon seems to be a magician. He summoned many monsters to fight for him and drove away the players."
Viscount Cromwell was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Magician? He is actually a magician?"
"This matter is a bit difficult to handle..." He bit the corner of his lip.
Magicians have a distinguished status in the Kingdom of Eltra. Like the church, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the royal family. No one dares to offend them, and the royal family must treat them with courtesy.
He is just a viscount, let alone a viscount.
However, there was always a doubt in his mind.
Why would a high-ranking magician condescend to come to the wilderness of misery, a place where birds don't shit?
Is it to resolve the crisis? But this is not realistic.
Unless players attack the capital of the Kingdom of Elterra, these proud magicians may go to war.
So, where does this guy come from?
"Hmph!" Viscount Cromwell snorted and said, "No matter where you come from, it is impossible to take advantage of me!"
"Most of my food and property have been moved to a safe place long ago. No one can find it except me!"
He showed a sinister smile: "When all the food in the city is eaten up, what will you do with the hungry people? Hehehehe!"
He had already made up his mind, and when Zhang Ze was desperate, he could negotiate with Zhang Ze.
The bargaining chip for negotiation is the food in his hand.
He believed that Zhang Ze would definitely give in.
…
"It should be around here."
Zhang Ze was riding on the back of the Dark Dragon King, overlooking the ground.
"found it."
I saw a large camp appearing in the vast wasteland, which was composed of square areas.
There is a wooden sign inserted in each area with the name of the owner of this area on it to make it easier for others to distinguish.
In this area, Zhang Ze saw houses, fields, pig pens, fish ponds... and even buildings such as blacksmith shops.
The scene in front of him surprised Zhang Ze and said to himself: "I didn't expect that these players can still 'farm' here..."
Zhang Ze continued to observe the camp. There was a large circular open space in the center of the camp, and the amethyst stood in the center.
You can see many players active in the open space. Some are surrounding the Amethyst to accept tasks, some are talking to each other, and some are setting up stalls to sell goods. It seems extremely lively.
"There are a lot of players stationed in this camp, conservatively estimated to be more than 10,000..."
Zhang Ze frowned and said to himself: "Only by destroying the amethyst can these players be completely eliminated, otherwise they will be resurrected indefinitely."
He wanted to sneak into the camp and investigate the situation of Amethyst, but he looked like a demon now. It was too obvious for players to find out his identity, so he had no choice but to give up.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Let's go back first..."
Zhang Ze patted the Dark Dragon King's big head and asked him to return.
"Wait!" He suddenly stopped and looked at a field in a player area. He saw rows of corn planted in the field.
At this time, the corn has matured, and the golden corn cob kernels are plump and round, bending the corn stalk, and the growth is very gratifying.
He looked at another player's area. In the pig pen, big fat pigs were sleeping. It looked like they weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms, enough to feed dozens of people.
"Corn, pork..." Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly lit up. He chuckled and said, "There is a way to solve the food problem in the city!"
Immediately afterwards, he returned to town and called both Morgan and Hardy together.
"You two immediately announce good news to the whole city, saying that food will be available soon, enough to fill everyone's stomachs!" Zhang Ze straightened his face and said, "However, freeloading is not allowed here. If you want to eat, you have to come with me.”
"Where are you going, sir?" Hardy and Morgan were confused.
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Player camp!"
