An Chenyu followed Mu Ziming away, leaving Ji Wumei and the other person bewildered, and Ye Yun still researching the Wujiang system.
The more Ye Yun understood the role of the Wujiang, the more conflicted he became. It was mainly because training these Wujiang was too expensive, making Ye Yun feel poor just looking at it. However, upon remembering that these Wujiang were beings from the upper realm, he felt somewhat at ease.
According to the principle of gaining attributes upon leveling up, an ordinary Wujiang would gain three free attribute points per level, an elite would gain six, a master would gain nine, and a top-tier would gain twelve. An Chenyu, being a top-tier, could gain fifteen points.
This meant that the Wujiang's rank determined the attribute points they gained upon leveling up, while their star rating determined the overall attribute growth coefficient after leveling up. A four-star Wujiang had an attribute growth coefficient of 1.4, meaning that for every level gained, their attributes would increase by forty percent on top of the base.
When calculated this way, it was far more terrifying than Xiao Tong's 'Apostate' profession. However, training Wujiang was also a dizzying matter. For example, An Chenyu could also have his attributes purchased by Ye Yun, but the price was quite a blow. The cost of one attribute point was one stone, which converted to ten spirit stones, or one hundred billion gold coins, equivalent to ten thousand attribute points! How could this be managed? It would be better to use it to train his own subordinates!
Ye Yun was very displeased and then checked his recent rewards. All four skill books were exclusive to Wujiang and could not be used by players. This meant that apart from the fifty thousand Dark Holy Stones, Ye Yun could not pocket anything else. Ye Yun even suspected that these fifty thousand stones were all prepared for An Chenyu.
This was indeed quite frustrating. The existence of the Wujiang system surely had its reasons, and Ye Yun had no reason not to train them.
If it were a five-star general, Ye Yun would have undoubtedly spared no expense in training them without a second thought. However, An Chenyu was only a four-star, and a peerless-grade at that, which made Ye Yun feel uncomfortably in-between, utterly stifled.
But the difficulty of encountering a five-star legendary general seemed a bit too high. In the end, Ye Yun gritted his teeth and exchanged all fifty thousand Dark Holy Stones for An Chenyu's fifty thousand attribute points, then distributed them according to a certain ratio. At the same time, the four skill books were also given to An Chenyu. Since they were all rewards, it was better to use them than not, Ye Yun could only comfort himself this way.
Besides killing enemies himself, Wujiang could also gain a small amount of experience by having their subordinates kill enemies. The specific data was yet to be observed.
Fortunately, Ye Yun had recruited a group of City Guards in the City Wall previously. Once An Chenyu grew stronger, it would not be a bad idea to let him command them.
For now, these City Guards were slowly leveling up through Ye Yun's quests. It would still take about a year and a half to form a combat force that could face mainstream players. Therefore, Ye Yun would have other arrangements for An Chenyu during this period.
"Humans of Fengle City, listen! I am Meng Qu, the commander of the Nine City Allied Forces! Quickly open your city gates and welcome us in, lest we slaughter you all!" Just as Ye Yun was still researching the Wujiang system, a rough voice, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly boomed through the sky above Fengle City.
Damn it!
Ye Yun was furious. His Flowing Wind Wings suddenly unfurled, and he hovered in mid-air. Looking at the dense army of alien races within the transparent shield below the city wall, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
How terrifying was an army of ten million? Even after three years in his previous life and one year in his current life, and having experienced over a dozen large-scale wars, Ye Yun had never been so shocked.
He saw three giant shields erected across the entire plaza outside the city wall. Within each shield, nine phalanxes were densely arranged, and above these nine phalanxes, nine phalanxes composed entirely of flying alien races were also densely arranged!
Fifty-four phalanxes, each with one hundred thousand troops! Most importantly, all phalanxes had complete professional pairings! If the troops still in the teleportation arrays preparing to join were included, the number of allied forces that had arrived through the teleportation arrays had already reached over seven million!
This was a bit too exaggerated!
Remember, Ye Yun had made the teleportation arrays as small as possible to prevent such a situation. How could he have imagined that these guys could also array themselves in the sky, on the ground, and even underground for battle?
That's right, Ye Yun, through his City Lord's vision, could see three enemy phalanxes underground within the second shield!
At this moment, apart from Ye Yun, Ji Wumei, and Xuan Yuan on the city wall, all the people from the Dragon Palace had lined up at the city gate, ready to sally forth and engage the enemy, even the auxiliary players who were powerless.
Mu Ziming's methods were ruthless in order to summon more Yellow Turban Warriors in one go. If not for Ye Yun's repeated requests that other players in the city not be involved, this guy would have probably opened the battlefield and let the guys in the city go out and feed themselves to the enemy.
The defensive structures on the city wall fired attack after attack onto the shield, bringing up waves of red durability consumption values.
"Meng Qu? Xuan Yuan, is that your Demon Realm general Meng Qu?" Ji Wumei looked at Xuan Yuan with some surprise, her whole being becoming excited.
"Yes, I didn't expect General Meng to be leading the army this time. It seems we can be free today." Xuan Yuan's tense heart relaxed considerably.
"Oh? It seems this Wujiang is very good? What is his ranking among the Wujiang in your Demon Realm?" Ye Yun asked with interest upon hearing the conversation between the two aliens. As for Meng Qu's shout, no one paid any attention.
"City Lord Jieming, with General Meng here this time, we will regain our freedom today. General Meng is one of the high-ranking generals of our Demon Realm. He was my father's Left General and is revered as the 'Demon Marshal' by other Divine Cities." Xuan Yuan's spirits lifted, dispelling the gloom brought by An Chenyu's defection, and his speech was even filled with a hint of arrogance.
High-ranking general? Demon Marshal? What kind of titles were these.
Although Xuan Yuan said a lot, he didn't reveal any specific information about Meng Qu.
"Do you think they can break through my defenses?" Ye Yun pointed at the enemy army below, which had already reached over eight million, and smiled. At this moment, the huge city gate beneath his feet slowly rose, and at the same time, nine shadowy figures flashed from the City Lord's mansion.
A great battle was about to begin.
