Vol 7 Chapter 21: Collapse

There was no time to scold or faint. I urgently gathered up the formation and took the retired soldiers back into the hall of the Lord's Mansion, guarding the hall door.
There are also several magic columns in the hall, and the hall door passes through at most a dozen people at a time, so the Songlong Thug is temporarily blocked by the NPC soldiers.
However, there are too many long-range attackers in the thugs, firing magic and bows and arrows, and sometimes poison is thrown in. My detoxification is really limited. Therefore, it is an instant matter that this line of defense is broken.
With a sigh, I left the hall door and sat at the table at the back of the hall on the throne of the lord.
I sent a message to the brothers, Tianfu, Rick, etc., explaining the current situation, asking them to come together after 2,000 brothers to find a way, I will pay each brother.
Then, I began to give instructions to dismiss all the members of the Dragon Club who served in the Acropolis in Crescent City, and at the same time closed all the administrative powers of the city.
As a lord, you can dismiss officials in your own territory at will, but if there is no reason at all, you will still be interfered by the king. If it is too much, the system will determine that the lord will be penalized for deduction of reputation.
Crescent City ’s income is seriously low, so I dismissed the owner of the Amazon. There is every reason to dismiss the city. With such a serious riot in the city, the officials responsible for law and order are completely quiet and completely eligible for dismissal. At the same time, their merits and Reputation will also be deducted a lot by the system.
As for other administrative officials, there is not enough reason to remove them at present, so I only temporarily limit their powers. Such a limitation has a maximum limitation period of half a month. If there is an explanation for this limitation, it is that the lord does not trust someone and is investigating.
Appointment and removal of junior officials can take effect immediately, so now, except for Amazon, Gelong will no longer have any status in this city, all of them are civilians.
At this time, the system also automatically pops up a series of menus, which is a list of wanted persons in this city, which needs me to confirm. This was originally a matter for the city management or the city owner, but now Amazon is in the appeal period and has no power, so it is up to me to decide.
Of course, if I don't confirm, this list is still valid, and the system provides this list, just to give the lord a chance to pardon the criminal.
Since these people are only committing crimes against my territory, as long as I do not investigate them, the system can automatically clear their crime value.
But how could I not pursue it? On the contrary, I also added a reward for each wanted man.
After completing these instructions, it was a bit of relief to me, but it was only a little bit.
Of course, I was angry, and it was my turn to get angry again. Although they dared to declare war, they were ready to lose their careers, but they were still very angry. After all, these occupations were earned by their hard work.
Next, the system repeatedly reminded the city of the destruction of the building, but only a small part of the prompt. I opened the city properties window and saw the rapid decline of various properties of the city, and the number of existing buildings jumped from time to time.
It ’s really heartbreaking. It ’s all money. Even a large building, even if you find it artificial, consumes more than 3,000 gold coins, 500 medium-sized buildings, and 100 small buildings. Even ordinary houses, according to the current market, also It takes several or even a dozen gold coins.
In this short time, Crescent City has lost buildings worth more than 30,000 gold coins.
Of course, the property rights of these buildings definitely belong to the lord. It is estimated that all the buildings that have not been destroyed are owned by the players themselves. Of course, there are also some necessary public facilities that are useful to them and not too much. destroy.
In fact, although I have a heartache building, Gelong will certainly heartbreak their positions. This struggle is simply a loss of both.
The soldiers at the door screamed and died one by one. Finally, ten minutes later, as the walls of the hall were breached, the soldiers could no longer hold on.
I finally pressed the option to exit the game.
The system prompts: "Your subordinates are fighting the mob, your lord house is under attack. If you go offline, you will lose 300 reputation. Are you sure?"
There is no way, I must confirm that 300 reputation is better than any one of my equipment drops. Cheap Songlong will be much better.
If I did n’t quit the battle for such a long time, the system would n’t be allowed to go offline, and if I was just a city lord, I would go offline when defending the city ’s main house. In addition to losing reputation, the king would deduct me.
Fortunately, Crescent City is my own place and the lord's house is my own thing. The king will not punish me.
Quitting the game, I exhaled a long breath.
I did not expect such a result. I have always been successful in the game, but I lost so badly.
It seems that I underestimated the Dragon Club and underestimated other players in the infinite world.
Everyone is an experienced veteran, who is more stupid than anyone else.
I went into Crescent City by myself and wanted to fight with Gelong, which was really crazy.
The tactics I came up with are definitely effective if they deal with npc, but I forgot that this time I was facing players with more flexible thinking and a collective wisdom.
Of course, the last thing I expected was that they would destroy the teleportation team. Without the teleportation team, it would be inconvenient for players to go to other cities for a while.
It seems that Songlong will probably have players who know how to repair the teleportation team as I do. So for a bigger gang, some special talents are still possible.
Anyway, I did lose, even if I would cause losses to Gelong, but I think I am completely defeated.
Underestimating the enemy and failing to achieve the goal I wanted, sacrificing the lives of hundreds of npcs, is unforgivable to me.
After taking a break for a while, suddenly, I found my heart was calm.
It was a feeling of standing in the open world, and it became wider in front of me. This feeling was really good, as if the whole person suddenly got rid of something and rose to a level.
Could this be the evolution that failure brought me?
For a long time, in order to maintain my victory, I have tried my best. Even death, I often get more things. Sometimes, death is what I expected.
Only this time, the enemies exceeded my expectations. They defeated me, but made me feel relieved, as if I had let go of a heavy burden.
I'm not God, why can't I lose?
It's really easy. While I'm eating, I open the Internet to check the news and information.
There are still so many letters, but the most important one is from a law firm.
The letter contains the indictment and lawyer's letter I prepared for the conduct of lawyers, which will be sent to the court and the prosecution object Wan Xiong, respectively.
There is also a plan prepared by the lawyer for this lawsuit, which includes the amount claimed.
3 billion world coins? !!
Although I myself decided to give this Wanxiong a big lesson and ask him to contribute to the vegetative world, I didn't expect so many.
However, the law firm still has their ideas. First of all, we must ask for a very high price before we can force the other party to sit down and negotiate for privacy. Of course, this is my wish.
At the same time, the law firm also stated that they hope to use this record amount of claims to make a name all over the world, to put it bluntly.
Forty years ago, the world's personal claim record was equivalent to 200 million world currency. Twenty years ago, the personal claim record reached one billion. The year before, a new personal claim record reached 2.6 billion world currency. My law firm It was to challenge that record.
The hype is not only good for law firms. As long as more people are attracted to this case, the more sympathetic power from all walks of life, the higher the chance of winning.
Of course, if this number is totally unfounded, it will cause resentment from judges and the outside world, or it may be rejected directly by the court. Therefore, this number must be justified.
How much is human life and happiness? Of course, it is priceless. If it is necessary to set a price, it can only be based on previous cases.
Although vegetative lawsuits of decades ago often only received hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, since a person who became neurotic due to a network accident fifteen years ago has received 100 million dollars in compensation, similar cases have become more prolific More and more fierce.
The most recent vegetative claim occurred four years ago when the client was knocked down by a billionaire's car and fell asleep for three years. After winning the lawsuit, his family received compensation of 500 million world currency, which caused huge losses sensation.
Three years of happiness, in exchange for 500 million, I slept for 20 years, it is not too much to ask for 3 billion.
If we talk about it, there is a vegetative who has been dormant for only five days, and finally received compensation of 30 million world currency. According to this calculation, it is even more terrifying.
In the final analysis, such a case has a lot to do with the mood of the judge, social influence, and the actual financial resources of the defendant.
However, in my life, the most beautiful twenty years, I spent in the dark. I did not get a good wife, no children, and lost the opportunity to honor my parents. Can three billion be exchanged for these?
Thinking of some sadness here, I wrote back and agreed with the law firm's plan.
Now that I have decided to do it, I have to be a little harder. I have found several world-renowned media for interview requests, wrote back to them, and agreed with them.
What I want now is to build momentum and put pressure on the court and Wanxiong. 2k novel reading network
