VRMMO: Passing of the Sword Chapter 1392: Shortage of resources
December 15, 2222.
After the fall of Liaoyang City in Huaxia, the Xinyu City and Zangsa City on the northern defense line also fell into the hands of the Asian region one after another.
In order to mobilize more players to prevent the African region, which is likely to attack from the western defense line, the Huaxia region had to abandon some cities in order to prepare for concentrated defense. In addition, the eastern part of the main defense line is already extremely stalemate, and the number of players is constantly being consumed. These measures are also forced to do nothing.
Fortunately, so far, the African region has not carried out any major offensives, but only increased the offensive pressure in the southeast direction.
But even so, the consumption caused by the war is still huge.
Whether it is players or the consumption of war resources, they are being consumed rapidly every day!
…
China's internal logistics guild—Xuantian guild, Crystal guild.
"Inform the guild leaders of the frontline positions that there is a shortage of intermediate recovery magic scrolls, and the supply of some guilds will be interrupted soon. The same situation applies to other types of intermediate magic scrolls, and the follow-up list will be distributed to all guilds. At the same time, it is important to inform The president of Cuilongjiang garrison guild, if we lose the production area of medicinal materials, we will wait for the supply of medicinal materials to be in short supply!"
Materials are starting to run short!
And that's not the worst!
As expected, the worst scenario finally happened. Even the wealthiest of the four regions before the war began, because of the looting of the city, the supply of various resources decreased, and the war materials produced also began to decline in great numbers.
Reports from various frontline guilds have also begun to come back one after another!
"President Xuantian, do you still have extra quarry reserves? Frontline weapons are seriously consumed, and we have already reached the point where we need to supply some standard weapons."
"Xuantian! Where are the potions and scrolls we need? You can tell me what to do at this juncture, what kind of guards are we guarding the mining area! There is no comfortable city wall here, and the old men are fighting encounters!?
"President Crystal, do you still have high-level scrolls available? We have received a mission from above and need more scrolls..."
…
"We haven't had scrolls for a long time, and the supply of potions can't be cut off anymore, otherwise priests and counselors alone won't be enough."
"Are you manufacturing standard weapons here? Please distribute them to us quickly. Brothers in our guild are almost smashing their own spare weapons. The repair factory has been destroyed by the enemy's air cavalry. There are no standard weapons anymore. Supply, we will not be able to keep it!"
"Low-level ones are fine! Even hoarded items before level 120 are fine! Everything is really gone..."
…
The accumulation of all kinds of requests and messages has made the baby-faced Xuantian begin to show his aging appearance. The crystal puppet on the side also lost the demeanor of a woman in the past. At this moment, she is already a slightly sick and delicate woman.
Supply, shortage...
Needs, deficiencies...
There is nothing, everything is consumed.
They have gradually begun to understand what happened in Europe and America back then!
Under the situation where defensive cities are constantly being captured and resources are starting to become insufficient, shortages of various resources will occur one after another. Begin to gradually reveal negative situations on their bodies.
"All of them! All of them! All of them need supplies! Where did they come from so many supplies!" Xuantian angrily threw away the documents!
"Liaoyang City was captured, Xinyu City and Zangsa City were also captured! Counting the five coastal cities lost before, eight second-level main cities have been lost! There are only twenty-four second-level main cities in total We have lost one-third of the city, the fall of so many resource areas, it is not considered that the marine materials have long been unable to be mined, what do we use to make materials for you!"
"If you want us to give you potions and scrolls, you should take back all the resource producing areas!"
"Fuck!"
Xuan Tian was so angry that his breathing became disordered, and he even held his forehead with a headache.
"Moreover, the previously occupied second-tier main cities in Europe and the United States have begun to be harassed by various small-scale guerrillas in the African region, seriously affecting mining and material transportation. Only one-third of them can be successfully transported back to our side All of them are already good, sometimes even less." The crystal puppet was also very helpless.
"This is pretty good. At least there are quite a few cities occupied by Europe and the United States, and they can still supply good resources. But it is estimated that all of this will end from today, and there has been news from the dirty cloud. Come here, over the European and American cities, the player army in the African region has already started to move."
"Almost..."
"Within a week, all the cities in Europe and America will fall."
After Xuantian said these words, he rubbed his forehead even more uncomfortable.
"One week? Didn't you say before that you have to guard the cities in the European and American regions for at least a month? Now only half a month has passed, and as long as you want to, only a small number of people are left, and you can delay the battle if you stick to the main cities." More than half a month, right?" The crystal puppet didn't get the news, so it passed it to Xuantian for the time being, and they knew that they were together now.
"The situation has changed. It seems that the African region is coming for real. Chun Yujing is basically right." Xuantian said.
"What's going on?" Crystal puppets.
"The African region has seen the cities on the northern defense line being captured one after another. In order to prevent the Asian region from continuing to expand their advantages, they naturally want to launch a bigger offensive. In addition, they originally had such a willingness, so the offensive action It is also extremely fast."
"So far, the player army in the African region has been detected, and the number of players in the European and American regions has accumulated to more than 10 million. We currently have less than 3 million players left behind in the European and American regions. There is a serious disparity in the number of troops Next, staying there and continuing to defend is nothing but death."
"Even if it is defending in its last breath, it is impossible to defend the resource-producing areas outside the city wall, so basically I want to give up. Retaining the vitality is the best choice."
"After all..."
"If you are alive, you will have the opportunity to continue fighting, and unnecessary sacrifices are obviously meaningless."
Xuan Tian sighed, but also felt helpless.
They are in charge of the logistics. Although they seem to be quite leisurely on the surface, they don't have to worry about their lives being in danger, and they can quietly earn points in the rear to improve their rankings.
But their leisure must also be under the condition that the frontline combatants can obtain good results. Otherwise, the pressure they bear will not be much less than that of the front line, especially many people will still feel unwilling and aggrieved in their hearts.
Knowing that their own resource-producing areas are constantly falling, they can only watch helplessly, but the frontline still wants them to spit out all kinds of supplies to them.
The pressure comes from all my comrades in arms.
"Understandable." The crystal puppet sighed and nodded.
"Speaking of which, in order to attack the European and American regions fast enough, and to gain more benefits before the other two regions, we used powerful scrolls and weapons to crush them all the way. We have destroyed a lot, and now it is impossible for us to defend with the complete city wall that has not had time to repair."
"How to say..."
"Maybe this is the curse on us from Europe and the United States, what should come will come after all."
The crystal puppets also understand.
Things like war are sometimes very mysterious, but they take it for granted.
Starting from a city like the third-level main city, all the city walls were built by the aborigines in the game world over the years. Once they are damaged, they are not as easy to repair as the city gates. Even players whose average level is already higher than that of the aborigines in this game world, it is impossible to repair all the city walls in a short period of time, and there will not be so many materials to repair them.
Just adding ordinary rocks and ores, and then engraving the repaired city walls with magic circles, can't stop the bombing of many magicians and goblin weapons.
The temporarily repaired city wall is useless after all.
"Alas..." Xuan Tian let out a long sigh.
"I just hope that the medicinal material production area of Cuilongjiang City must be defended. Even if it is really impossible to defend, it is better to hold on for a longer time. That is the largest medicinal material in China. The production area is gone, I hope Wang Renwei and the others can realize this, and don't focus on the east and west defense lines."
"I hope so. The Fuyun Pavilion Lord in Cuilongjiang City should be able to support it for a period of time. Even if the city is still there, it can have a good radiation impact on the surrounding resource production areas."
As long as the city is still there, support can be provided quickly.
But this premise is under the premise that there are enough players. Otherwise, it will be just a standing lonely city without any other meaning.
The medicinal material production area is not like the mineral production area, it is a huge area, most of which are dominated by entire forests. Kuancheng District is dominated by small mountains or a few high mountains, which is relatively convenient for defense, but the medicinal material area is basically an encounter.
Even if temporary fortifications are built, in the case of continuous combat, it will eventually evolve into an encounter where real swords and guns collide.
At that time, the advantage of troops is the biggest advantage.
Obviously, there are not so many player forces to mobilize in the current Huaxia District.
How long you can hold on is basically a question of strategy. At this time, what is tested is command ability, not pure combat ability. A good and excellent command is the key to the next defense. Otherwise, once Cuilongjiang City, a city in Huaxia's medicinal material production area, falls, the situation in Huaxia Region will fall into a worse situation.
…
So.
Have the low-key great men noticed the situation here?
Obviously they noticed it, even if Xuantian and the others didn't report it, they still noticed it.
But...
Do they really have the energy left? Under the high-intensity and close offensive of the two regions.
