Chapter 0418 - Post-War Statistics
110,000 magic crystals!
A local territorial war brought a huge consumption of 110,000 magic crystals to the Wu Tower.
And this is the effect that Grim borrowed the terrain and used the magma sea to destroy the jungle beasts and monsters that were mountains and seas in one fell swoop. Without this move, Grim would have no choice but to lead his men to defend the Witch Tower and endure the pain of being besieged by ten thousand beasts.
At that time, there will be absolutely no escape from the end of the tower falling!
Pinching his fingers, the 120,000 magic crystals brought by Alice Tuo have consumed 110,000 in one battle, and the remaining 10,000 pairs of Wu Pagoda tinkering are estimated to be very little. It can also be seen from here that Alice, the witch of fate, still has some doorways, and the auxiliary power is just right, no more, no less.
The situation in the energy room also surprised Grim a little, the opening of the defense system and the attack witch array had made the elemental pool that had some savings dry up again. However, due to the existence of the magma sea, the fire element pool at the bottom layer was filled in advance, and now the magic energy that supports the operation of the witch tower has been changed to fire energy.
Huge fire energy flowed in the body of the Wu Pagoda, and the volcanic rock used in large quantities on the outer walls emitted a hazy red light under the pressure of heat. From a distance, the entire pagoda looks like a burning fire tree, rooted in the sea of magma, which is particularly eye-catching.
Just as Grim checked the gap between the energies, and after the chip was connected to the core witch array, the damage report of the witch tower had been listed in detail and sent to Grim's mind.
"In the battle of the lava hall, the battle power of the team has been lost: 2 manticores. Enemy combat power losses: more than 173,000 elementary-level jungle creatures, more than 300 junior monsters (apprentice level), 80+ intermediate monsters (wizard level), 30+ high-level monsters, and 2 monster bosses...... Among them, the monster lord Tula and the monster leader Dana are on the run, and the Dark Tentacle and the Wyvern are still trapped somewhere in the upper underground level......"
"During the Battle of Wu Tower, more than 112,000 magic crystals were lost, 31 tower bodies were damaged, 127 fault points appeared in the internal energy transmission system, and 34 broken rune witch arrays were damaged......
"Harvest: 2 monster leaders, three demon dogs and berserk baboons are imprisoned in the bondage room (the berserk baboon's flesh * body is seriously damaged, and it is difficult to fully recover individual combat power, so it is recommended to carry out witchcraft transformation) ...... Imprison 2 high-level monsters, the Harpy and the Snake Demon. Among them, the bird demon is the initial form of the harpy banshee, which belongs to the short-range agile monster, and the snake demon is a mutant beast formed after being polluted by witchcraft, with part of the demonic bloodline, and belongs to the melee high-attack monster......"
"Some fire spirits can be sent to salvage in the magma sea, and the remains or items of monsters that can be retained in the continuous burning of the earth fire have no low witchcraft value......"
…………
Looking at the rows and columns of data counted by the chip, Grim couldn't stop being afraid!
If it weren't for the magma sea pouring into this move, it would be impossible for the Witch Tower alone to withstand such a large number of beast tide attacks. That's not to mention the monsters in the chaos of beasts!
It is conceivable that if a family built a wizard tower in the Black Forest and sent a family wizard to guard it. Then it would need to withstand the attacks of all the monsters and beasts within a radius of seven or eight hundred miles, and the price it paid was extremely terrifying.
Once the Witch Tower is breached by the beast tide, the loss of resources and manpower is simply incalculable. Even if it resists the beast tide, I'm afraid that this area will not be able to develop quickly and mature, and it will always take a few rounds of interaction with those unwilling monsters to turn it into a safe territory.
In short, before the retreat of the Black Forest, these marginal areas were the land where wizards and monsters fought over, and there were huge security risks. No wizard dared to move a large number of people into such a dangerous area, so he could only slowly rely on wizards, apprentices, and mercenaries to repeatedly clear the monster nests in the surrounding mountains and forests, killing them or forcing them further away.
After about ten years of repeated tug-of-war, a settlement suitable for human habitation was developed!
And on the way, any slight mistake as a leader can bring disaster to the entire settlement, and it may also make the hard work of the entire family for more than ten years go to waste.
Therefore, any family that wants to open up a new territory needs to be cautious.
Not only do you need to fully consider your own family strength, but you also need to investigate the quantity and quality of monsters distributed around your new territory. In particular, a strong team of wizards is needed to be able to respond to any emergencies that occur around the territory in a timely manner.
According to this standard process, it has to be said that Grim has a good deck of cards in his hand!
This dangerous battle to defend the Witch Tower not only repelled the attack of the monsters, but also killed a large number of jungle creatures by the way. This also means that the number of wild creatures and monsters in the jungle around the Witch Tower will drop dramatically in a short period of time.
And the Witch Tower is hidden nearly 200 meters underground, occupying a favorable geographical position, and anyone who wants to fight its idea will inevitably have to plant a big heel in the sea of lava and fire. Therefore, Grim only needs to sit in the Witch Tower, attacking and retreating. Even if the surface was reoccupied by monsters, he still didn't need to worry about his safety.
As for the development of the Black Forest on the surface, this is something that Grim has never considered, at least not in the short term.
He worked hard to build his Wu Pagoda here, not to open up territory for the Salubo family, but for his own future development. According to the comprehensive intelligence analysis from all aspects, if Grim wants to advance to the second level, spiritual elementalization is an indispensable process.
If you want to exercise your spirit and make it fit your own development path, a good secluded environment is absolutely indispensable. The Sick Wood Forest Witch Pagoda was the most suitable place for him to cultivate!
As Grimm pondered silently, a message of witchcraft from Gargamel came to his mind.
Grim was slightly stunned, then turned around and came to the restraint room located on the third floor of the Witch Tower.
Walking into the restraint room, Grim squinted at the trembling figures in mid-air.
The flowing magical light on the walls illuminated everything in the space, and in the faint dull luster, faintly visible subtle textures radiated from beneath the smooth surface of the stone walls, forming a grand and cumbersome rune witch array.
This is not the usual form of witch array such as five points and six rays, various complex patterns and runes are staggered, hooking up with each other, forming a complex array of dots similar to that on the ring of witch arrays, firmly binding several tall and short figures in different silver apertures, unable to move.
"How's that? Will these guys surrender?" asked Grim.
"Willing, willing, willing ......" The first to answer was not Gargamel, but the three-headed demon dog Anguga, who was prostrate in the aperture, with a sneering face: "My lord, you can quickly treat me! If I don't treat it again, my injuries will be so serious, and my spiritual origin will be somewhat damaged, which will probably lead to regression......"
Grim looked at Gargamel, who nodded silently, and then convinced Anguga's words.
Once the control rune is implanted, the other party will become his own person, and the strength will certainly not be beautiful.
"In that case, you can let go of the mental space!" Grim stretched out his hand and scratched in front of him, and soon condensed a soul imprint containing his own witchcraft aura: "As long as you are honest and obedient, I will let Gargamel cure you immediately......"
The three demon dogs Anguga gritted his teeth in pain and hissed, and a soul phantom appeared from the dog head in the middle of the three dog heads, bowing his head to Grim from afar.
Grim was about to control the control rune to fly into the silver circle when a female voice suddenly rang out.
"Teacher, don't be deceived by it!" Meryl walked in quickly from outside the room: "Sister Alice told me just now that it is useless for this kind of three-headed demon dog to control only one main head, and it must be controlled by three dog heads together. Otherwise, it can get rid of the soul brand by forcibly devouring the main head!"
Grim's eyes froze, and a red glow appeared in the depths of his black pupils.
"I forgot...... I just forgot about it just now......" The three demon dogs An Gujia was instantly frightened, so he gritted his teeth and forced out the soul phantom in the other two dog heads: "Master, I don't dare anymore!"
Grim opened his mouth and blew, and in a stream of scorching high-temperature flames, the control rune shook violently, dividing into three, and with a whoosh, it disappeared into the three soul phantoms of Anguga.
The upheaval in the soul, coupled with the terrifying high temperature that Grim deliberately attached, made the three demon dogs Anguga die in pain in an instant. The whole body was prostrate on the ground, hundreds of wounds and blood scars on the body collapsed at the same time, and purple-black pus and blood were drenched all over the body, making it look miserable.
"Alright, it's time to treat it!"
After closing his eyes and sensing it, and making sure that the control rune implanted just now had been safely integrated into the souls of the three demon dogs, Grim waved his hand to close the binding witch array and let Gargamel give it a simple treatment.
A simple skin wound could not have killed Anguga, but the terrifying fire poison that penetrated deep into its body needed to be removed in time, otherwise it would really damage its spiritual origin.
"What about you two?" Grim set his eyes on the harpy and snake demon again.
These two unscrupulous monsters, of course, chose to surrender like Anguga.
Therefore, after carefully implanting the control rune, the two of them were also released.
After the three soft bones were processed, Grim came to the last silver circle, trapped in a large, strong, but rather mentally exhausted raging baboon.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
As soon as Grim's words came out, the berserk baboon crumbled into the transparent silver circle of light with a fist in its bloody mouth. Except for the muffled sound of a thumping sound, the silver aperture didn't even flicker, and the witch array suddenly lit up with a scorching electric light.
With a strange stabbing sound, the furious giant baboon fell to the ground with bright electric sparks, and its muscular and muscular body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But even though he couldn't get up, the furious baboon lay on the floor, grinning angrily at Grim.
"Looks like a diehard!" Grim shook his head pitifully, turned around and instructed Meryl: "Such a guy doesn't need to grind slowly, just ask the Kogan wizard from the headquarters to come over and wipe his intelligence into a witch beast!"
"Yes, Teacher!" Meryl replied with a nod.
"You just called me and said there was something else to gain, what is it?" Grim turned to look at Gargamel.
Gargamel, who had been rubbing his hands on the side, couldn't help but show a greedy gaze: "Master, these guys all have their own nests!"
"Oh...... What do you mean?"
"Of course they have to go to their own nest. The key is that they even know the location of the nests of the few guys who escaped!You know, those guys fled back alone......" Gargamel couldn't help but lick his lips as he said this, and his eyes shone with greed that could not be concealed.
Hearing this, Grim's eyes couldn't help but light up.
