The Battle and...

"Everyone, please have fun whenever you have free time. I will give you orders when there are missions."

Upon hearing Ye Qian's words, the Berserker exchanged glances and finally nodded, saying, "Yes!"

"Um."

Ye Qian had a thought, and a few seconds later, five stunningly beautiful girls appeared beside her.

A uniform array of Cannon Fodder Demon Clone.

Upon seeing so many girls, all of whom seemed to be related to the leader, the Berserker secretly swallowed hard.

After all, they were all men. No matter how much respect they had for Ye Qian, they still felt a flutter in their hearts when they saw a cute young girl.

But...

Their loyalty is enough to suppress such feelings. Even if they do develop feelings for their lord, they will still regard him as their leader and will not cross the line.

Therefore, Ye Qian has no need to worry about being proposed to by her subordinates one day.

I hold a very high position in their hearts.

"Go and lead the team."

Once the Cannon Fodder Misses arrived at the scene, they didn't need to exchange words; they simply looked at each other, smiled, and then parted ways.

Each person leads a group of Magic-Equipped Archer and hundreds of melee troops to hunt monsters in the distance.

Ye Qian No. 3 himself then reinforced the port city he had previously occupied with several thousand more troops.

He looked at the large map and realized that to leave this isolated island, he would have to head north.

You have to cross this forest, 1000 kilometers away, and then cross a narrow strait.

The biggest obstacle in the forest is the Gnoll.

While other wild animals are numerous, they could not possibly form an army as large as the Gnoll.

Therefore, a large-scale decisive battle with the Gnoll is inevitable.

"The key to having that many troops lies in the Kalu World."

The troops that Ye Qian arranged with Kalu are now the main force.

Moreover, because the island area is quite large, even with a large army, it would take her a considerable amount of time to control it.

Take a kingdom, for example.

These few thousand people have only managed to capture that city so far.

There might be some Black Iron Rank experts in the city, but finding them and getting them to join your side is quite difficult.

"Overall, it's a long-term process. I can make progress slowly on this side while leading a team directly to the Main Continent on the other. We can't just stay put like this; it'll be troublesome once they arrive."

She's planning to cut off players' chances of obtaining Black Iron Rank buildings.

However, it increases the probability of obtaining elite unit buildings.

They only allowed those guys to recruit ordinary troops to accelerate development and help them fight against the kingdom on the island and some forces around the kingdom.

I glanced at the interface and saw that there was an event publishing function.

"Let's launch an event, Little Orange won't blame me anyway."

Players are basically distributed within a 100,000 square kilometer radius, and 50% of them are distributed within a 20,000 square kilometer radius of their own surrounding area.

An area of approximately 200 x 100 kilometers.

The strongest already have an army of over a thousand.

They were weak, only a few dozen people.

Most of them live in the forest, and those Gnoll and end up all alone.

Ye Qian considered that since the plan was to unite the players, she should do it as soon as possible.

Little Orange and the others mostly focused their efforts on maintaining the system, and it seems they didn't interfere too much with the players. Since they've come to me, I'll do my best to help.

So, after preparing for 20 minutes...

Bite!

[Attention all Homeland Lords.]

[Faction Siege Event Begins!]

[Confirmed: The powerful Gnoll in the forest now consider us a dangerous enemy.]

They possess a total army of over 200,000, and are extremely powerful, with a very high proportion of elites.

Starting immediately, players near the forest will automatically join the raid.

[Target: Gnoll]

Use all your strength to kill them.

For each Gnoll you kill, you will gain the corresponding War Points, plus an additional 10 Copper Coin and 1 unit of Life Energy.

[The event will last for 10 days.]

[In 10 days, the system will rank lords according to their respective war points and award generous rewards based on their rankings.]

[Anyone who completely wipes out the lords of any Gnoll tribe will receive an additional reward.]

[Tip 1: The Gnoll a powerful force; please do not launch an attack rashly. During the event, Lord's Army can form alliances to cooperate in battle.]

[Tip 2: Lord's Army must select one image as their flag within one day of the event's start. The flag will be displayed on the map. If you choose not to select one, the system will randomly select an image.]

[Tip 3: If lords encounter each other in battle, they will automatically enter the "Illusion Dream Space" for a final battle. The Dream Space is identical to the real world. Losing the battle will not result in the loss of any troops, but you will forfeit all your points to your opponent. Each lord can only initiate one challenge against another lord per day, and the challenger must spend 10 silver coins.]

[Tip 4: During the event, you will receive the "Elite Hound" unit blueprint as a free gift from the system. All recruited units will be retained indefinitely.]

This announcement, packed with information, was sent to all 402 players in an instant.

Oh, no, it's 401 now. Someone just died.

"I'm moved to tears."

Ye Qian could only say that the players nowadays are too fragile; they could be wiped out by the natives in the slightest way.

After Ye Qian posted the event, the chat group exploded.

[Reboqi: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! An event?]

[Dog: What? 200,000 Gnoll? You want my Husky Legion to go and fight Gnoll?! (Image: Ancient Hero Husky King, Quality: White, Description: The Challenger of huskies, the Challenger Husky.)]

[I Am Really Not A Pervert: Has everyone received the event notification?]

[Newbie: Received.]

[I Am Not A Loli: I received it too. Is everyone near the forest?]

[Mimimi: I don't have any. I'm in the snow here. I really want to participate in the event; the rewards look really good.]

[Pervert Get Lost: What a load of rubbish! Do you know how strong Gnoll? You're dead if you encounter one.]

[No-Meme Little Orange): Don't worry, everyone. Look at the last hint: the blueprint for an elite unit is being given away, which means you can recruit the corresponding unit now.]

"Um?"

Ye Qian was surprised to see Little Orange jump out.

I didn't expect her to speak up for me.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qian sent the other party a private message: "What do you think of my move?"

Ten seconds later...

[No-Meme Little Orange: I don't have that kind of guts.]

Ye Qian suddenly coughed.

[Xiao Qian: I'm glad you weren't scared. Trust me, I'm not joking.]

[No-Meme Little Orange): There's no turning back now, and a normal development is a dead end. Maybe you can create a miracle. Our future is on your shoulders.]

Ye Qian took a deep breath.

Although the other party seemed quite relaxed, the burden they carried was still quite heavy.

This step is very risky.

Why do I say that?

Because the first player Ye Qian encountered in the forest was killed by Gnoll.

A few dozen Gnoll are enough to defeat a small, underdeveloped squad of new players.

An army of thousands might be completely ineffective against a few hundred Gnoll.

Within this 20,000 square kilometer area, there are a total of 71 residential communities.

In terms of quality, most of them are inferior to the Gnoll.

The Elite Hound blueprints she sent this time were selected from the inventory; they were for a level 10 recruitment building.

Players who want it have to spend resources to build it and then recruit people.

This takes a lot of time.

That's a bit slow for a 10-day event.

But Ye Qian was still relatively relieved and sent Little Orange a new message:

[Xiao Qian: I'll make the players' strength increase dramatically later.]

[No-Meme Little Orange): Yeah, I'm maintaining system stability here, I don't have time to talk to you.]

[Xiao Qian: Okay.]

I don't even have time to check the group chat.

Ye Qian naturally intends to allocate some resources from the Kalu World to the players.

There's no need to really train them; just develop a slight advantage to withstand the Gnoll's counterattack after the event ends.

That's right, these players' mission is to fight the enemies on the island in your place, relieving the pressure on your side.

Only then could Ye Qian concentrate on running out to fight against the other contestants.

In the chat group.

[Newbie: Don't worry everyone, there will definitely be some support after this event. These past two days, everyone, whether rich or poor, has been trying to recruit some Elite Hound. I feel like this unit is not simple.]

[Fafu: It's already under construction. This thing is really expensive. Luckily, I've saved up a lot of money. I'll recruit a hundred or two at a time when it's ready.]

[Reboqi: So many?]

[Dogs Should Eat Dog Meat: @dogs]

[Dog: Why did you tag me?]

[Dog: Wow, this ID of yours is causing trouble.]

[Hao Hao Hao: Let's get started! I've chosen my flag; it's already shown on the map. Anyone want to team up?]

[Dog: I'll do it.]

Chapter 172 Battle and...

Please select your flag design.

Ye Qian opened the event interface, and the options had already appeared.

She didn't make a choice immediately, but instead opened the large map.

It feels a bit like some strategy games, with new flags constantly appearing and indicating which faction it belongs to, the current faction, and so on.

Upon zooming in, you'll see that specific territories and other details are all grayed out; this is the fog of war. Unless you thoroughly investigate the enemy's situation, these details won't appear on the map.

My eyes glanced at the bottom left corner, where a message scrolled by.

The Husky Legion has been formed, founded by "Dog," and the faction has been marked on the map.
