Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 219 Postwar Reconstruction
"City building mission, recruiting a large number of players, with no restrictions on number or level, and generous benefits. Those interested can apply."

"Patrol mission, recruiting a large number of players, requiring a level of at least 20, with priority given to those with extraordinary professions who are good at exploration or tracking."

Outside the 3567th section of the Great Wall in Tiandu City, information about various missions scrolled across the players' public chat.

After the Silver Army led the way in resolving the insect swarm outside the Great Wall, the players weren't simply left with nothing to do.

Repair the various gaps left in the Great Wall during the previous insect swarm, and build new cities outside the Great Wall for players to live and interact with.

Expanding beyond the Great Wall also requires a large number of players to participate in order to proceed smoothly.

The base's primary function is to transport and deploy players, rather than to facilitate living and communication between players.

After all, the various materials in the base are very precious, and it would be a bit of a waste to use them as houses for living.

Establishing a residential area for players outside the Great Wall is the most cost-effective option.

With specialized elemental mages to build the basic framework of cities and the influx of a large number of players, building some complete cities is not a difficult task.

Besides combat, players have many other ways to gain the experience needed to level up.

Of course, these methods of gaining experience are certainly not as efficient as gaining it on the battlefield.

Moreover, a mere section of the Great Wall covering an area of ​​thousands of miles cannot provide players with much experience.

Therefore, after the war ended, most players did not stay in the area where this section of the Great Wall was located.

They either went to other areas where the war was not yet over to participate in the battle, or they simply logged off and waited for the next suitable opportunity to log back in.

The number of players participating in the mission around the 3567th section of the Great Wall in Tiandu City is less than 10 billion.

The 3567th section of the Great Wall in Tiandu City was not the first area where Tiandu City achieved victory, but it was not the last either.

Less than five days after the Dawn Empire's army arrived, the insect swarm around the Great Wall outside Tiandu City had been cleared away.

All that remained were the countless Zerg that had already arrived in Tiandu City.

After many sections of the Great Wall had been sealed off and most of the replacements had been lost.

Although the remaining Zerg population is still large, it can no longer pose a significant threat to Tiandu City.

With the combined efforts of the Dawn Empire's army, the garrison of Tiandu City, and the players, the remaining countless Zerg were quickly wiped out.

The insect swarm that targeted Tiandu City has finally come to an end.

Construction is not only taking place around the 3567th section of the Great Wall in Tiandu City, but also around other sections of the Great Wall that were not destroyed by the Zerg.

As for the sections of the Great Wall that have been destroyed and self-destructed, the surrounding ley lines for thousands of kilometers have been completely destroyed.

Relying solely on natural recovery, it might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to fully recover.

With the resources currently available to Tiandu City, there is no spare capacity to repair those thousands of kilometers of ley lines, so it can only be left to fall into complete ruin.

This was originally part of the function of the Great Wall.

If they gain the upper hand in the fight against the Zerg, they can use these walls as a base for rapid expansion.

If they are at a disadvantage, they can rely on the Great Wall's defensive capabilities to divide the insect swarm and reduce the defensive pressure on Tiandu City.

Although, in terms of the overall situation in the central world, most cities, including Tiandu City, were at a disadvantage when facing the insect swarm.

The Great Wall has always served to defend against the Zerg, and very few forces have been able to use it to expand their territory.

Such extensive construction around the entire Great Wall is extremely rare even in the Central World, and never before has such a grand spectacle occurred in the history of Tiandu City.

"Lord of the city, apart from those sections of the Great Wall that have been completely destroyed, all of the Great Wall is under rapid construction."

“A section of the Great Wall has been developed into complete cities, and the defensive capabilities of these cities have been specially tested.”

"The final conclusion was that it could completely withstand the impact of micro-insect swarms."

"Some cities can even withstand the impact of small swarms of insects."

Inside the city lord's mansion in Tiandu City, someone was reporting information related to the Great Wall to the city lord and several other high-ranking officials of Tiandu City.

Upon hearing this news, before the city lord, who was sitting in the first seat, could even speak, a young man to his right showed an excited expression.

"To achieve so much in such a short time, the Dawn Empire's foundation is indeed not to be underestimated."

"With so many cities to share our burden, we will be able to handle the next insect swarm more calmly."

In the Central World, the scale of the insect swarm was divided into many different levels.

Micro, small, medium, large, super large, apocalyptic...

Micro-swarms are basically below the legendary level, starting from the small-scale ones and involving the legendary-level Zerg.

As for a cataclysmic insect swarm, that already involves the realm of eternity.

Even an Eternal-level transcendent being could perish in a swarm of insects of this size.

The insect horde that Tiandu City is facing this time is of a world-ending scale.

If it weren't for the aid of the Dawn Empire, Tiandu City would have been severely damaged, if not destroyed in this insect swarm.

For example, the Great Wall outside the city walls was basically beyond repair.

The defensive capabilities of the Great Wall are generally between micro and small.

Micro-swarms of insects pose little threat to the Great Wall, but it is less effective against small swarms.

Only the final self-destruction method can pose a certain threat to small swarms of insects.

The 3567th section of the Great Wall that Liu Zheng was guarding faced a small-scale insect swarm.

If it weren't for the intervention of the 129th Regiment of the Silver Army, this section of the Great Wall would certainly not have been preserved.

Other sections of the Great Wall also faced insect swarms, the scale of which was no less than that of smaller insect swarms.

The destruction of large sections of the Great Wall would be a tremendous loss for Tiandu City.

Without the Great Wall to alleviate the defensive pressure on Tiandu City, even a super-large insect swarm, let alone an apocalyptic one, would put considerable pressure on the city.

The capital city of Tiandu is guarded by an eternal transcendent being, and is also suppressed by four sacred beast legions.

In terms of top-tier combat power, Tiandu City does not actually need to fear super-large or even world-ending insect swarms.

But the most distinctive feature of the insect swarm has never been its top-tier combat power, but rather the endless stream of low-level insectoids.

Even the lowest-ranking Zerg can easily slaughter adult males; this is not the lower limit of the individual strength of a Zerg.

If necessary, they can also adjust their lower-level combat forces to an even lower level. However, the current combat force is designed to effectively strike and deplete the vital forces of the Central Great World.

No matter how much precautions are taken, some insects will inevitably slip through the city's defenses and enter the city during each swarm.

Even the lowest-level Zerg units can inflict devastating damage on ordinary civilians within a city.

Even if the top-level combat forces can remain standing, repeated insect swarms can wipe out the ordinary people.

Without the injection of fresh blood, even the largest city will gradually decline and eventually perish.

Now, not only has most of the Great Wall been preserved, but a large number of cities have also been built outside the Great Wall.

When the next insect swarm arrives, these walls and cities can relieve more of the defensive pressure on Tiandu City, further reducing losses.

Hearing the young man say this, another dignified-looking middle-aged man also nodded.

"Even the Zerg cannot easily launch a world-destroying swarm."

"After this insect swarm ends, they will need at least a thousand years to recover."

"During this period, the super-large insect swarm is their limit, and we can take this opportunity to develop properly for a while."

A thousand years is not a short time.

Although we still have to face constant attacks from the Zerg during this period, as long as nothing unexpected happens, we can still maintain a positive development trend overall.

There is so much time to recuperate and develop.

While it's impossible to say that a second Eternal Transcendent could be born, it can at least replenish a large number of Legendary Transcendents, further enhancing the foundation of the entire Heavenly Capital City.

"But we still know too little about this Dawn Empire."

"All we know for now is that they come from outside the world, and not only do they have the ability to summon those immortal players, their own strength is also incredibly exaggerated."

"Judging from their current strength, the entire capital city probably wouldn't be a match for them."

At this moment, a woman with a resolute expression spoke up. She was the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, one of the Four Sacred Beast Legions.

The four sacred beast legions of Tiandu City have a total of four legion leaders, each of whom is a supreme legend and only one step away from becoming an eternal transcendent.

Each of the four legions possesses the capability to independently confront a massive swarm of insects.

This is one of the most important foundations of Tiandu City, and also the main reason why they are able to stand tall in the Central Great World.

In addition, the four legions can even form a military formation, further enhancing their overall strength and briefly unleashing an eternal level of power.

The factions that have managed to survive the Zerg invasion to this day all have their own unique strengths.

Even without the Dawn Empire's involvement, Tiandu City could withstand the cataclysmic insect swarm and would not be easily destroyed.

Therefore, in addition to gratitude, the high-ranking officials of Tiandu City were also quite wary of the Dawn Empire, a force that had suddenly appeared.

However, with the previous insect swarm still not completely cleared, they had no time to consider the true intentions of the Dawn Empire.

As long as they are indeed here to help Tiandu City and are willing to fight the insect swarm together, that is enough.

It must be admitted that the strength displayed by the Dawn Empire is indeed terrifying.

In a typical cataclysmic insect swarm, it would take Tiandu City at least several years, or even longer, to deal with the insectoids and buy itself some breathing room.

However, this time, they completely resolved the world-ending insect horde in less than a month.

The ability to achieve this level of capability, besides the army of the Dawn Empire, is primarily due to the endless number of players, much like the Zerg.

Although the number of players is actually less than that of the Zerg, players can respawn infinitely.

One has unlimited respawns, the other has unlimited troop production; it's hard to say which is stronger.

However, after the Dawn Empire's army joined the fray, a significant gap emerged in the top-level combat capabilities of the two sides.

With the top-level combat forces collapsing, the entire world-ending insect swarm naturally collapsed from top to bottom.

This is what enabled them to achieve the feat of complete victory in just one month.

Before achieving victory, Tiandu City believed that the stronger the Dawn Empire was, the better, as this would allow them to deal with the Zerg as quickly as possible and minimize their own losses.

However, after everything was over, they had to consider what kind of impact the emergence of the Dawn Empire would have on them.

“Those cities built outside the Great Wall were not built by the troops we stationed inside the Great Wall.”

"It was built spontaneously by the players, or it could be said that the Dawn Empire instructed them to build it."

"Although this has already been agreed upon by the commanders of the Great Wall."

"But we haven't received any applications yet."

Someone else spoke up, their tone revealing some dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Great Wall commander and the players.

Although the commanders of the Great Wall have considerable autonomy in the areas they guard, and the construction of cities is to defend against the Zerg, it is beneficial to Tiandu City.

But no matter what, it should be reported to Tiandu City. What does it mean to build the city without saying a word?
“I directly agreed to all of these.”

"The construction of cities outside Tiandu City has been authorized by me, so there is no need to report anything further."

The city lord, who was in charge, finally spoke.

Hearing the city lord say this, the people present were somewhat surprised.

As early as when the Dawn Empire had just arrived, it was the city lord who ordered them to cooperate with the Dawn Empire's army to eliminate the insect swarm.

Otherwise, when faced with such a suddenly appearing force, they wouldn't even know its true identity or purpose.

Tiandu City hasn't reached a dead end yet, so it's not certain they'll readily agree to cooperate.

"Teacher, you seem to know something about this Dawn Empire?"

The young man asked with some curiosity.

His strength is not yet legendary; the reason he can sit with several military lords is because he is the city lord's disciple.

Even the most powerful military commanders did not have his status.

Faced with his disciple's question, the city lord shook his head.

"Before this, I had never been in contact with the Dawn Empire, and I had no knowledge of it."

"But as for the god of time and destiny behind them, I roughly know where He comes from."
