Chapter 118: Crystals Gather
The beast tide began early in the morning and ended when the sky was dark.
It's still inside that huge building.
Compared to the first time when the lords were excitedly discussing how to conquer the indigenous territory, the atmosphere was much dull and solemn.
Although the beast tide has been firmly blocked under the city wall, it has been too long, and the mid-level sea beasts are almost endless, even if the knights adapt to the rhythm of the battle, the final number of casualties is a huge number.
"So, Captain Albert, tell me about the damage. Harris spoke with a blank face.
"The beast tide lasted for a total of ten hours, and the number of low-level sea beasts is still being counted, the middle-level sea beasts are close to two thousand, and the high-level sea beasts are seven, and the above is the overall scale of this beast tide. ”
Albert paused, and then said: "In the beast tide, the loss of five hundred ordinary soldiers is basically caused by the spells of the sea beasts, and the city wall is moderately damaged and needs to be repaired. On the part of the Order, seven hundred were wounded and three hundred were killed. In terms of materials, the degree of consumption is more than two-thirds of the overall reserves. ”
"Damn!" Harris's face was gloomy.
It doesn't matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, no matter how many they die.
The walls only need to be repaired.
However, the elite knight legions suffered a third of the casualties and two-thirds of the material consumption.
These two figures made the new sea area development plan shattered in an instant.
The indigenous territory is not vegetarian, not to mention, as the territory of the inland sea world, the islands and resources occupied far exceed the selected sea area. It is also a town-level territory, and its strength is not comparable to the selection of sea areas.
It would be unwise to raid indigenous territory without adequate preparation.
The top priority now is to replenish supplies as soon as possible.
Even if it's not for the purpose of raiding other territories, you must prevent another beast tide.
In addition, the wounded knights need to be treated and comforted, and the dead knights need to be compensated.
The war needs knights to carry out, and if you don't care about life or death, not only will your morale be low, but your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Immediately notify the rear Huiyin Sea area, make every effort to transport supplementary supplies, in addition, transport all the wounded knights back to the Huiyin Sea to recuperate, and the dead knights also need to hold a serious funeral, they are all the pride of the alliance. ”
After a pause, Harris continued: "As for the Light Blue Sea Raiders plan, it will be launched as soon as we re-complete our preparations. We need more islands and territories, more strongholds and cities, and neither the Beast Tide nor anyone else can stop the Alliance. ”
"As you wish, Lord Harris. ”
Albert was ordered to leave.
Then, Harris looked at the intelligence officer who happened to come to report, and asked with a somewhat uncertain face: "The location of the stronghold of the Xianhe Territory in the light blue sea has still not been detected?"
"Yes, so far, there is still no news. ”
"A bunch of idiots!"
Not getting the information of the fairy river leader made Harris extremely unhappy.
As the person in charge of the light blue sea area of the Mizhou Alliance, he naturally became the light blue sea area branch of the Zhongxia Alliance, the light blue sea area branch of the Polar Bear Alliance, and the direct opponent of the Xianhe Territory.
I don't even know the intelligence of the adversary, so how to deal with it if there is a conflict in the future?
In particular, now that the Mizhou Alliance has just encountered a beast tide, the original plan to open up new sea areas has been blocked, and the pace of strength development will undoubtedly be affected.
In such a situation, he attaches great importance to the news of other opponents.
The bad news from the intelligence department directly made him vent his anger.
"Tell Vesco that I want to see his resignation, immediately!" he snarled with a terrible look on his face, and directly dismissed the head of the intelligence department.
was already furious because of the huge loss of the beast tide, and the intelligence officer happened to hit the muzzle, which can be regarded as unlucky.
It is used as a punching bag directly.
......
What happened on Hope Island quickly reached Lin Xiao's ears through the Xianhe Collar Intelligence System.
The appearance of the beast tide will slow down the development rhythm of the Mizhou Alliance in the light blue sea, which is of course a good thing for the Immortal River Leader.
However, after Lin Xiao expressed a little surprise, he quickly left the matter behind.
Because.
Just now, Vernal reported to him that the development team had once again discovered a remnant settlement of the main city on the Golden Island.
Important:
In this settlement, they also searched for a red mutilated crystal.
The third crystal.
Moreover, through the interrogation of the remnants, the information of the legend of the underground palace was also obtained.
Maybe it has something to do with crystals.
However, the information is still incomplete and it is impossible to determine the specific meaning.
Under Lin Xiao's instructions, this crystal was also transported back to Xinxian River Island as quickly as possible, and was sent to Xiao Shirley's rune laboratory.
"With the third piece, the rune combination on the crystal is clearer, it should be an unlocking rune combination of a rune lock, but it is different from the ordinary rune lock, and the way to use the unlocking rune is also different, and more fragments are needed to determine what it does, and how to use it. The girl said to him after the initial experiment.
"Very well, I've told the Pioneer Team to do their best to search for the remaining crystal shards. ”
In fact, after the appearance of the third crystal fragment, under his instructions, the entire development team has begun to invest a lot of manpower to search the entire island.
As more and more crystal fragments were discovered, Lin Xiao became more and more curious about the secrets inside.
In particular, when interrogating the two remnant settlements, the vague information obtained showed that there were legends about the underground palace on the Golden Island.
Crystals, on the other hand, are the only items associated with them.
Involving the legends handed down in the main city, Lin Xiao has gone from being indifferent at the beginning to paying more and more attention to this matter now.
A main city-level territory, or the main city of ancient times, everything left behind is fascinating, and people want to explore all the mysteries in it.
After attaching importance to this matter, he invested a large number of knights in probes, almost carpet searches, and even, Lin Xiao directly sent the Red Feather Eagle Knights over to search inch by inch.
Finally.
A month later.
The fourth remnant colony of the main city was discovered, and a fourth broken crystal was found in it.
After this crystal was sent to the rune lab, it was also tightly attached to the other three, and now, almost only the last part remained, and it was possible to form a complete crystal.
After interrogating the Prophet and comparing the information obtained with several other settlements, a shocking legend became clearer.
This made Lin Xiao even more impatient.
For this reason, most of the work of the development team was almost temporarily stopped.
Throw in more knights to search, and the whole Golden Isle feels like it's been plowed over and over again.
But the more I tried to find it, the more fruitless it was.
After three months, nothing was found.
This situation made Lin Xiao almost a little crazy, and it had to make people wonder if there were still undiscovered remnants of the main city on the Golden Island, or if the last piece of crystal was not on this island at all.
The development of the Golden Island is also very important, because it is related to the long-term development of the territory, and for this reason, the development work has been greatly affected.
Just when he was about to give up and resume his pioneering work.
The good news from the Golden Island has finally arrived.
"The fifth broken crystal, found!"
