Happy people from Blue Star

Lisa's coronation ceremony was very low-key.

It was so low-key that except Hardy, no one other than the elves arrived at the scene.

This is normal.

The elves are essentially very closed-minded. They do not need recognition from outsiders, and their queen's coronation ceremony does not require the approval of other forces or other gods.

Hardy stayed in the elves' tribe for five days, and then returned to the city lord's mansion with his back hurt.

Lulu gave him a lot of kidney-strengthening spices, but... they were still drained away by several elven ladies.

It has to be said that when the elves become sultry and sexy, even succubi are not as good at playing as them!

Succubus Sophie came in with a pot of broth with tonic and placed it in front of Hadi: "Drink it... I've said it before, the elves actually know how to please men better than us succubi, you just don't believe it."

There's nothing we can do about it; the stereotype is too serious.

Almost every elf woman is the pure white moonlight type.

They are delicate and weak, but once they go crazy, they are willing to risk their lives.

Hardy drank the hot soup in two gulps and then rested for a while. Only then did he feel his kidneys gradually warming up.

Seeing that his complexion had improved, Sophie said, "We have already purchased a lot of food, but many undead have realized it and are starting to stockpile food!"

"Oh, their reaction is not slow." Hadi smiled: "But after all, we were one step ahead, and our granary should be full."

Sophie nodded: "Yes!"

"Stop collecting food." Hadi said with a smile, "Collect more iron ore, coke, and wood that can be used to make weapons."

“Why not just buy the weapons?”

"Raw materials are cheap," Hardy explained. "We don't lack weapons now, but we may lack them in the future. Instead of buying finished products, it's better to buy raw materials first and then have our craftsmen process them. This way, the number of equipment we have in the future will be several times more."

Because Hardy's territory was very prosperous, many talented people came there.

It was very easy for him to gather blacksmiths to work for him.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Tiana walked in.

She nodded to Sophie first, then said, "Hadi, our official has already set a date. The new version will be released in twenty days."

"Only twenty days?" Hardy was stunned.

For ordinary people, twenty days may seem long.

But for a large-scale war that is about to happen, twenty days is too much and is hardly enough time to prepare.

It would be difficult to complete the mobilization of military rations within twenty days.

After all, Hardy now has about 10,000 infantry, archers, and knights under his command.

And almost all of them are elite armored soldiers.

With such strength, it would be no problem to sweep across the entire Europe. However, Hardy himself could not guarantee how useful it would be in the upcoming large-scale war.

"Sophie, Tiana, go collect supplies together." Hadi placed a piece of white paper filled with words in front of the two of them. "It's very troublesome to collect these fragmented materials, but I believe they will be of great use in the future."

"it is good!"

Then Hadi thought for a moment and said, "Send letters in my name to friendly lords and kings, telling them that the war with the other dimension is coming and asking them to be prepared."

Sophie nodded again.

In the following days, Hardy was not idle. Although he could not help much financially, as a legendary warrior, he was very strong in combat, so it would be very effective for him to train the army.

It even boosts morale.

In twenty days, the soldiers may not be able to achieve very good results, but it is good for them to understand more combat techniques and have better coordination in military formations.

Sometimes, just a little bit of coordinated training may change the course of a war.

Hardy's City Lord's Mansion has been collecting supplies, which naturally attracted the attention of many players.

Although most of the players are just playing for fun, fighting monsters and completing tasks, there are still many players who view this game with a very professional attitude.

The Merchant Alliance players in the Europa region are holding a meeting, with hundreds of people online in a chat tool.

Then several of the most powerful businessmen were selected to speak.

Because it is a video conference, most people do not want their real identities to be exposed, and many people wear various hoods or masks.

A frog who was selling cubs shook his body and said, "The new version is coming soon. There is no problem for us to stock up. After all, we are all businessmen. It depends on who has a good vision and who has good luck. After all, the new version must mean new content, new equipment, and new technology. I personally like to stock up on ore. Logically, there are not many business players who like to stock up on ore. I can buy a large amount anytime and anywhere, but recently I found that someone is competing with me for the ore business. I checked and found that it was Hardy from Louisian County who was buying these things."

"Could it be a special mission?" A man wearing a 2D female headgear said, "For example, he needs a certain amount of supplies, and when we meet the requirements, he will give us a lot of rewards."

"This game has its own logic. All the actions of the NPCs are traceable. They don't do tasks just for the sake of tasks." The player wearing a yellow motorcycle windshield helmet said, "I'm a grain trader. Some time ago, I found someone stealing my business. After checking, it was also Hardy's work."

"I found him buying up flint and coke."

"He's buying lumber. Lumber is more expensive than flint now."

"Iron ore, timber, food..." A player who was not wearing a mask took a breath subconsciously: "This is to launch a large-scale war, and it is preparation for a protracted war."

Among the players, those who can reach the level of big businessmen will also have good political acumen.

They immediately realized that the content of the new version might be a terrible large-scale battle.

"It looks like the game has entered its mid-term stage." A player laughed. "After we came in, we created too much value in this game. In other words, the planners started to use this method to recycle materials and... weaken the players' 'levels'."

"Why are they trying to weaken our ranks!"

"Because there are too many players and the average level is too high, this is inconsistent with the game settings. Professionals are actually scarce, and there are very few high-level professionals on average." A player explained: "So they started a large-scale battle to balance everything. Here, I am sure that once the new version is released, there will definitely be a real camp selection. When two or even three parties fight together, the battlefield will be a meat grinder. Players' equipment will be greatly damaged, and they will lose wealth. Then, due to death, they will lose a lot of experience and levels. This is the best balance between economy and professions."

Everyone understood what he meant.

Someone asked: "What else can we do besides making money from the war?"

"Is it possible that if the wealth in our hands is used properly, it may not be a dream for the Tian family to replace the Qi family."

The players were stunned at first, then they all became excited, with blazing flames in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
