King from scratch

The day after the mission of the human kingdom left.

The Diman Empire is busy with the finishing work after the negotiation. The end of the negotiation means that the Neiva Plain has been unified in name, but it does not represent the actual unity.

The interest issues that need to be determined and exchanged after those scattered small countries merged into the Diman Empire are the follow-up that they need to deal with.

Of course, these small problems just need a little time, and the dust will eventually settle down.

Just as those human kingdoms would agree to participate in this negotiation, it was the powerful strength of the Diman Kingdom that could crush them several times over.

After Diman Karen III came to power, he did not rush to unify the Neiva Plain. Instead, he spent nearly 20 years suppressing other domestic forces, implementing political reforms, and removing rotten flesh step by step. Finally, the Diman Empire completed the unification without bloodshed. .

20 years of dormancy is enough to prove that Diman Karen III has enough patience to solve the small problems brought about by peaceful reunification.

But another young king didn't seem to have the patience.

On the second day after the mission left, Diman Karen III received an urgent report from the border. The dwarf army appeared outside the border of the kingdom, heading towards the direction of the East Fury family.

On the second day after the mission returned, the dwarf army appeared outside the border.

"I'm afraid the king didn't have any discussion at all."

"If the kingdom is only 2000 people, at this scale, he really doesn't need to discuss it."

"A small country with few people can overestimate its capabilities."

"Your Majesty, the border guards await your orders."

Diman Karen III: "I am very interested in his courage to challenge the empire."

He thought for two seconds: "Academy of Arcane Arts? They do have some bad pasts with the Empire, but if you think that you can defeat the Empire with their help, then you are underestimating the Empire."

The courtiers of the empire await the decision of Diman Karen III.

Diman Karen III continued on his own: "I am very interested in that undead race... Will they be the reason why he dared to provoke the empire?"

Diman Karen III shook his head at this speculation: "If that king thinks so, then I will be very disappointed. What impact can the weak undead with only more than 1000 people have on the war?"

He issued an order: "Go, bring back glory and victory for me, and tell our enemies with blood and death that the Diman Empire is invincible."

Outside the territory of the Dongnulie family.

Adisseo led the dwarf team to the destination through space teleportation, and the phalanx was arranged outside the territory of the Dongnulie family. Unlike the dwarf elders, the Dongnulie family did not refuse to communicate.

"Andy Su Jin, I see your determination to unify the dwarves," the other party's voice came from the territory: "But determination alone is not enough."

After completing the unification of the dwarf elders and the tribes of the hills, there was no change in the number of Adisseo's team. In fact, Adisseo rejected Kanshi's request to join the battle and let them go back to the top of the mountains .

So at this moment, standing outside the border of the Diman Empire and in front of the territory of the Dongnulie family is still the original team configuration led by Adisseo, a small number of dwarves plus most of the players.

Adisseo King didn't mind chatting with each other for a while: "Actually, I'm curious about one thing, why did you choose to settle here?"

"Is it what most people guessed, you have reached some kind of agreement with the Diman Empire? Or is it because..." Adisseo thought about the wording: "Other reasons?"

"Dwarves will not betray dwarves." The other party's voice was extremely cold: "Even if someone defines us as traitors, the Dong Nu Lie family will never admit it."

"So, your answer is other reasons?"

Adisseo King turned his head and glanced at the border city of the human kingdom, which was very close, and the army was gathering.

The territory of the Dong Nu Lie family is so close to the border city of the Diman Empire that you can see the changes in the other city with the naked eye.

The other party did not respond positively to his words: "The Diman Empire will not be indifferent to your appearance. If you are not ready to defeat them in a direct confrontation, it can only be said that you are arrogant and stupid."

"Thank you for your concern, we are ready," Andy Su said: "Any existence that tries to hinder the unification of the dwarf kingdom is the enemy of the dwarves."

"I hope you can feel the determination of the dwarf kingdom to unify."

The phalanx changed its formation and quickly switched back and forth, pointing the finger at the border of the Diman Empire.

Almost at the same time, a long-distance attack from the border city locked them, and huge ether fluctuations brewed an astonishing frequency.

"A warning from the Diman Empire. The distance between you and the border of the empire has exceeded the warning value. Please leave immediately, otherwise the empire will launch an attack."

"Warning again..."

The warning above the border city sounded twice, giving them sufficient time to retreat.

Then the dwarves seized the time and released the mechanical army.

The mechanical army forming a black wave crossed the border of the Diman Empire without hesitation like a tide.

The gate of the frontier city was suddenly opened, and a uniform army poured out from the gate.

The melon-eaters and players all made "wow" voices.

Their performance is not surprising, after all, this is the first army from this world in the true sense they have encountered.

A torrent of steel rushed out, and the earth shook with it.

The cavalry rode on ferocious land creatures unknown to the players. They were dressed in full armor, and their triangular-shaped spear points reflected the sharpness under the light.

This is a heavy cavalry.

Interspersed among the heavy cavalry are "knights" who travel lightly and surround the regular ether fluctuations. They use the power of blood to control the ether, and their physical strength is the direction of their upgrade.

Their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and they can easily keep up with the speed of Wing Wing, and launch attacks together with heavy cavalry.

And behind the heavy cavalry and knights, there is a whole row of huge machines.

The appearance of the machine is a bit weird. There is a noisy device running sound under the base, and it moves forward quickly as if walking on the ground, ignoring the huge load. Above, the huge cylindrical device is imprinted with complex patterns, it looks like a tool cart carrying a cylindrical device.

And behind this strangely shaped tool cart, there are monks who focus on long-range attacks. There are not many of them, and they walk on the battlefield calmly.

The torrent of steel and the mechanical army met head-on, and the entire battlefield was shaken, with the sound of clashing weapons.

Almost at the same time, the long-range attack that had finished brewing passed the fighting armies and fell straight into the dwarf phalanx.

The device fixed beside the phalanx was activated by the attack, and the light screen quickly opened, colliding with the attack from the city, resulting in a fierce energy collision. Although the attack was successfully intercepted, the light screen that played the intercepting role was shocked suddenly. Gone in plain sight.

The second attack of the Diman Empire has re-locked the dwarf phalanx, and on the battlefield of head-on confrontation, the torrent of steel successfully broke through the blockade of the mechanical army and went straight towards the dwarf phalanx.

Almost a few seconds after the two armies met, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Diman Empire had the undoubted upper hand.

The players huddled behind the phalanx, whispering.

"Isn't it about to lose? How can we see that the opponent completely crushes us regardless of numbers, equipment or discipline?"

"Then what is the meaning of our existence?"

"To make up the number of people?"

"Even if it's to gather the number of people, at least let me go to the battlefield, right?"

"No, look at the army in front of you. He is a serious army. Do you think you can go back and forth with him?"

"I can't feel the atmosphere of the battlefield? Is it better than walking in the phalanx?"

"This main task is outrageous, it has nothing to do with us at all."

"We're going to lose, and the army is about to burst into our faces."

"Don't worry, isn't the dwarf's trump card that directly blows up the elders with a bang still useless?"

"Even if Adisseo has no brains, the planner wouldn't be able to backstab his own son, right? Don't worry, it's impossible to lose—unless the plot requires it."

Amidst the idle whispers of the players, the formation of the phalanx changed rapidly.

The dwarves withdrew from the front of the queue to the back, and the players caught off guard and became the front line of the handover of troops.

Disorganized · Lazy · Whispering · Players who are going to watch a movie: ? ? ?

In the distance, He Xingwen happily dragged an option from the altar to the menu of the game's basic settings.

"10. Enable the unlimited number of temporary resurrection permissions. In this temporary permission, the energy consumed by the player's resurrection will be provided by the king."

He Xingwen's huge amount of energy accumulated for a long time fell by half in an instant, and then began to decline at an alarming speed in an instant.

"The official version of the holographic game cabin should have the basic function that players can be resurrected infinitely?"

"Yes, the official version of the holographic game cabin has all the basic functions that the game should have."

He Xingwen glanced in the direction of the Diman Empire in the distance: "It's been a long time since I asked this question last time, so... it's time for us to determine the political system of the kingdom?"

He Xingwen discussed this with the system before (Chapter 48), and the system judged that determining the political system of the kingdom would lead to a third update of the kingdom, and the direction of the third update is most likely to be a large-scale influx of players. In the case that the kingdom cannot accommodate too many players, the arrangement for establishing the kingdom's political system was postponed.

System: "It can be put on the agenda. After the reunification of the Dwarf Kingdom and before the formal declaration of war by the Diman Empire, conducting public testing is my best solution."

He Xingwen: "Have you ever speculated that after your intelligence level is upgraded again, what changes will happen to you?"

The system has speculated on this: "I'm not sure, but I guess... Maybe I will understand what the extremely strong feelings I have for you belong to."

He Xingwen didn't care what that strong emotion was - after all, it was impossible to betray him, so he paid more attention to another point.

"Your current level of intelligence is no different from that of human beings, so if your level of intelligence is further improved, will it surpass human beings? Or will it become what intelligent life should look like?"

The system has no doubts about this: "Be what I should be. It won't make you uncomfortable, and it won't make me uncomfortable."

"Please don't worry, no matter how much intelligence is improved, the connection between me and you will never change."

He Xingwen set his sights on the thinking palace, and scrolled down to the main task at the bottom.

[Main task (uniqueness): To ensure that the kingdom is not assimilated into a part of another world by another world.

The first stage: Expand the kingdom's territory and accept other races from other worlds - 30% progress.

Please unify the dwarf kingdom as soon as possible, we still have a lot to do. 】

Caught off guard, the players who were facing the torrent of steel head-on were shocked at first, and then received a system reminder in the next second.

[System Reminder: For your gaming experience, the system has enabled the infinite resurrection mode for you. The next death will not consume the number of resurrections, but will randomly drop skill proficiency. Please cherish life and avoid unnecessary deaths.

In addition, the number of enemies you kill on the battlefield will be counted in the mission points. 】

If you change it to an easy-to-understand expression, it is: you have been strengthened, send it quickly.

The torrent of steel swept across, sweeping away the obstacles in front of them, so easy that the player could not even be called an enemy.

In the flash of white light, the army continued to move forward.

Players respawn below the banner.

The revived player bravely killed the enemy, shouting chaotic slogans, sprinting towards the torrent of steel, fearless of life and death, and using all kinds of unimaginable tricks to try to kill the enemy.

White lights flashed frequently, but the resurrection point was in front of the dwarves, behind the player, so the player died and then quickly resurrected, continuing to sprint with fearless spirit.

And when the player collided with the army of the Diman Empire, the dwarves were not idle. They quickly built a large building on the back of the flat floor, and directly built a large fortress. There was even room to arrange machinery next to the fortress. Turn on the indiscriminate fire attack to relieve the pressure on the players - by the way, kill the players indiscriminately.

"That's how we look at it?" Duo Longna was a little puzzled, they had multiple trump cards in their hands, there was absolutely no need to only defend and not attack.

"The king asked me to observe the combat effectiveness and combat patterns of the Diman Empire army."

Adisseo observed the battlefield outside from inside the fortress - saying that the battlefield is a bit flattering to the players, that is, relying on constant death and unpredictable tricks to slightly hinder the advance speed of the Diman Empire army.

Players have advantages that others cannot imagine.

Although they appear to be humanoid, they are actually just an anthropomorphic mass of ether.

In other words, even if their hands and feet are cut off and their hearts are stabbed, as long as their blood volume does not drop to zero, these attacks will not have a substantial impact on the player's actions.

In addition, the system does not set the player with pain at all, so the attack from the Diman Empire army, in the eyes of the players, is just a numerical change of "blood volume -10" or "blood volume -50".

Another point that can slightly hinder the army's advance speed is that the 117 team has become the backbone of the players. Although the number of the 117 team is not large in the total number of players, the orderly queue and uniform attack methods make them Stand out among players.

Players quickly realized the special features of the 117 team. Although the military literacy is generally not high, the players with rich experience in team formation spontaneously formed a team around the 117 team. became a whole.

"Unexpectedly, an effective attack was formed." Dorona quickly noticed the change of the players from disorder to order. Their adaptability was amazing, and they formed their own battle on the battlefield of death and killing. Way.

"It's not a good habit to underestimate the undead. No matter how weak they are, don't forget that they won't die, but no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will die."

For the players, a more accurate way to express this sentence is - no matter how powerful the boss is, as long as it can break through the defense, the players can grind it to death just by grinding it to death.

The torrent of steel was temporarily delayed by the players who kept dying and resurrecting, and the tool cart carrying the cylinder arrived in time.

Adisseo casually increased the ether output of the mechanical attack to prevent the players from being pierced by the Diman Empire army in the next second.

The cylinder slowly opened. As the tool cart moved forward, several mechanical turrets protruded from the cylinder. The densely packed patterns on the cylinder shone slightly, and the azure blue materialized energy condensed on the turret, heading towards the enemy. shooting.

Tens of thousands of years have been exploring the world of ether, and their military weapons have inevitably embarked on a different path from the earth. The combination of machinery and ether constitutes a different world version of fire attack.

The white light became bright, and the weak hindering force from the players disappeared instantly, and the army continued to move towards the fortress stationed in place.

Dorona thought deeply: "Their weapons are not like dwarves' handwriting. This design idea is very novel..."

He reacted: "The handwriting of great scientists? They like to invent things that are so simple that everyone can use them."

"I remember that the great scientist has a very bad relationship with the Diman Empire, and can he design military weapons specially for them?"

Connor raised his eyebrows: "Plagiarism, theft, aren't these all tricks that humans are good at?"

Seeing that the players in front were about to collapse at the touch of a button, while the dwarves in the fortress behind were talking about the equipment of the army as if they hadn't seen it, they didn't seem to have any other thoughts about the further deterioration of the situation.

The players were completely suppressed at the resurrection point, and the white light kept lighting up during the resurrection.

"Can you still fight?"

"What is the dwarf doing?"

"The gap in strength is too great, I'm afraid he was really planned to be backstabbed?"

"Ye Yeye is so miserable, the idea of ​​planning to bind the player's camp to the kingdom is so strong, how could he backstab his own son?"

"Then... what's the situation now?"

The players simply gave up struggling and let the artillery fire continue to bring them back to life on the spot, and even seized the opportunity to find time for dialogue.

Because death does not consume the number of resurrections, and there are basically no other penalties, players are particularly detached from this.

After suppressing the player's offensive, the army continued to move forward, approaching the fortress built urgently by the dwarves.

The heavy cavalry galloped up, pointing at the sword light.

The machinery on the cylinder slowly changed back to its original appearance. The cylinder moved slowly, aimed at the fortress, charged and launched, and the entire cylinder broke away from the tool cart and fell towards the fortress.

Because the firepower that originally covered the players disappeared, the players were no longer alive and dead-presumably the commander of the army finally realized how wasteful it is to try to kill the undead.

So at this moment, the players stared at the cylindrical shape that drew a beautiful arc in the sky and fell directly on the fortress, and made a "wow" sound.

The purely mechanical impact, plus the activated etheric energy at the moment of the collision.

The player was affected by the aftermath, and white light flashed into one piece.

The ground with the dwarven fortress as the center collapsed rapidly, and the entire space was almost blasted at a fixed point. A small mushroom cloud slowly rose and then disappeared quickly.

The army of the Diman Empire was also within the range of this attack, but before the aftermath hit them, the cultivators at the rear let out a low cry, and the etheric fluctuations permeated from them, covering the entire army, forming an effective layer of etheric protection , to eliminate the aftermath of the attack.

The raised dust has not yet settled, and the attack launched by the Diman Empire army has not yet ended. Dozens of tool carts launched the cylindrical metal carried above one after another, covering the area around the dwarf fortress at fixed points.

Explosions sounded one after another, the ground collapsed and collapsed, and the huge energy impact superimposed, tearing the entire space apart.

The space is broken, and the black hole emerges, because this black hole is not caused by the controllable space transmission, so it does not have the function of transmission, it is the "black hole" in the conventional concept.

Swallowing light, space, and even everything that exists, it continues to expand, and everything around it is sucked into the black hole.

Before the black hole continued to expand and further threatened the world, two translucent creatures emerged from the shattered space, about the size of an index finger, in the shape of a line, and golden light could be faintly seen swimming in the translucent body.

They drilled out of the black hole, shuttled around the edge of the black hole, and "sewed" the black hole together. The black hole that was supposed to expand collapsed due to force majeure and finally disappeared.

The broken space was "stitched" again, but the ground, creatures, and everything that should have existed in the space have completely disappeared.

In other words, the space was rebuilt after the collapse, leaving nothing.

A vast, bottomless deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground. Looking into the deep pit, the abyss below seemed to have no end, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.

As for the dwarves and players who were originally on this deep pit?

The traces were completely erased.

The army of the Diman Empire stopped in front of the deep pit, their wings flapping their hooves anxiously, pawing at the soil under their feet.

The army is waiting for the order of the supreme commander, but the restless wings are restless, and the strong sense of crisis makes it unable to hold back. When it is unable to move forward, it turns its head to attack its own formation and flies into the distance. Running away, trying to escape the ubiquitous death threats.

The uniform formation was in turmoil due to the chaos at the front. As people turned their backs on their backs, there was a crisp "click", and an extremely slight mechanical start sound came.

"retreat--"

These are the last two words left by this army to this world.
