Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

The construction of Hope City was successful, but also a failure.

They got the promise of Negative Stars, and even had a trade route with Negative Stars, a large NPC force, which can be said to be a very outstanding performance. But the problem is that their location selection is a bit too bad.

Above Dulong City, at the end of the bay behind the Plague Hero Pillar, backed by Chaos Dwarves, facing Chaos War Gang, next to Skaven, and only on the side are the Dwarves Dulong City and Kislev border who are unwilling to join them. This four-war land was considered a good place when everyone didn't know it at the beginning.

After all, from your feeling, there is really nothing wrong here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are also very good, and everyone is very enthusiastic. Nothing happened during the construction of the city. There was even a large NPC force that took the initiative to come to make friends, and even gave real blessings and power. No matter from which angle, Hope City is a very perfect city construction base.

Then these players were trapped by this damn Hope City.

After experiencing the first Chaos Warband siege, they were horrified to find that the Star Fort Bastion they had built, which they thought was indestructible, was completely useless. Your Star Fort Bastion looks powerful, but can you hold up the artillery of the opposite side?

They will automatically track and bomb your window, or simply cast a spell, and your entire city wall will soften into mud and collapse in pieces. Without the belief in gods and the support of spells, the materials in this world are incredibly fragile. After finally filling the gap with human lives, the players learned from their mistakes and decided to recruit mages to build magic walls.

Then the players' bad reputation took effect. When the mages they found heard that it was the players' city, they raised the price tenfold without saying a word, and said that it was up to you whether you wanted it or not, and you could see who would do it for you.

Because the players' reputation was very bad, they even asked for advance payment.

In the process, the players were also scammed twice. The money was paid, but the spell didn't work at all. In the end, the players gritted their teeth and collected the tribute for the Negative Star.

These warriors wrapped in golden light asked for the highest price among all. Not only did they give up almost everything they got from the trade, but they also paid a lot of unequal treaties. Then the Negative Star came over and stuck a stick, and then left. He said that this was an extension of the gods' vision, and you just need the city wall to protect it.

Don't say, it's really possible.

At least after the players' city walls were besieged, although sparks were emitted, they really held up. Under this premise, the players' demands for the Negative Star can be said to be whatever they want.

But this relationship is also limited. After the third Chaos War Gang siege in two months, the Hope City plan has basically failed. In this environment where there is a small fight every three days, a big fight every five days, and a big sweep every twenty days, it is impossible for players to build a city safely.

However, the investment has been thrown in, the trade route has begun, and this place is considered to be stuck.

Players can only bite the bullet and maintain the sky-high price route, and then send whatever they earn back to the Negative Stars, asking the Negative Stars to add runes to this land so that it can withstand the attacks of the Chaos War Gang.

This does not include the underground kingdom that often steals supplies on the side. Many times the transport convoys have been looted by the ratmen, and when asked, they stiffen their necks and say there is nothing. It is difficult for players to turn against them, because if they do, they will be attacked from both sides, so players can just surrender.

In other words, the Chaos Dwarves really have no interest in the players, and they have been staying inside the pass, otherwise the players will face a three-court trial.

In fact, the entire Hope City plan has become a chicken rib in the eyes of high-end players.

It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.

But relatively speaking, they began to pay attention to the changes in the world situation, and then began to turn their attention to a new area.

"The news from Hope City is that the Chaos War Gang was also defeated this time. But the cost of maintaining Hope City's trade routes is too huge, and there is no value in existence. Our core is to trade with the Negative Stars. Hope City can be rebuilt if it is gone, but the trade routes are gone if they are gone."

"So? You are not going to tell me that the honor of players cannot be tarnished, so we have to find a place to build a city again? No, I would rather spend a lot of money to move to Northrend than stay in the old world."

"No, I'm talking about the new trade node."

"Trade node? Tyrell? Or Haimenguan or Altdorf?"

"None of them. A brand new trade node that does not discriminate against players. Although Hope City's performance is not very good, we can have a new blood transfusion point. At that time, one civil and one military, we can live a little more at ease."

Looking at the player's unbelieving look, the bartender took down the world map of the old world and pointed to the top of Bretonnia, an island that looked very desolate.

"According to the news from the Negative Stars, they have built a city on the island of Orbion next to the Norsca Peninsula. It is now open to the players' trade fleets. Players can complete the trade they want through the Golden Country and establish permanent bases. Their masters will not discriminate against players."

"Will not discriminate against players...?"

Hearing this word, the player raised his eyebrows uncertainly.

"You're not going to trick people over there and then kill them like dogs, are you? I've heard about the human empire throwing players away like foot wraps, isn't this the same thing?"

"It shouldn't be. After all, the Witch King seems to be doing pretty well. Since the war with the sea elves, he hasn't built any other armies. Instead, he's been focusing on developing trade with us. Now that the new trade city is built, you have some spare money, why not do some small business?"

Looking at the player who seemed a little suspicious, the bartender said slowly:

"After all, you can see the trade areas of dark elves and many other races over there, even if you go there to see the world, it's worth it. Bretonnia also has a special direct route, it's always a good idea to go there."

"...Are you lying to me? I always feel like you've been praising this place?"

"That's not the case."

The bartender shook his head sincerely.

"But I took the money. The Negative Stars told us that they really need to make the trade node bigger and stronger, and asked us to bring more players over. I will say this to anyone who comes."

"...How much do you charge?"

"One silver coin per head, no upper limit."

"You are so rich, I'll do it. Where can I get on the ship?"

Looking at the bartender taking out an exquisite silver coin, the player thought for a while, slapped his thigh and made up his mind.

There will be two more updates later! Wait for me to write!
