105. Erlongshan expansion strategy
Boom Thunder Ling Zhen!
Before going specifically to learn about "Water Margin", Ji Ye was undoubtedly very unfamiliar with this name.
Even, in the various versions of the "TV Series" of the Water Margin, this hero did not appear a few times at all.
Just because, in a sense, he does not belong to a "Liangshan hero" who is famous for fighting and fighting, but a "descending general" who was born in the official army and ascended to the head of Liangshan with his ability to "make artillery" and "fight artillery".
In "Water Margin", the artillery built by him can shoot fifteen or six miles away!
You must know that the red-coated cannons of the Qing Dynasty in history had an effective firing range of only ten miles.
Of course, this was because of a certain degree of exaggeration, but in this inheritance land, it was likely to become Ling Zhen's true ability.
Even, because he was attracted by the soul of a civilization that had fully transformed into a third-order civilization, Ling Zhen's ability was more than that.
……
"Commander Ling, it's okay, please try!"
Next to Erlong Cottage, in a shooting range specially built for testing artillery.
Ling Zhen was wearing a black snake armor at this time, with a red cloak fluttering behind him, and he was standing with the firing position, but what was a little peculiar was that the cannon itself should be on the gun carriage below was disassembled at this time.
The barrel of the small cannon forged by the Mortal-grade cold iron was directly held in Ling Zhen's hands by Ling Zhenyi's hands.
"Okay, I'm tired!"
And said a word to the village soldier on the opposite side, Ling Chen used the fire fold on his mouth to directly ignite the fuse on the barrel!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a black cannonball rushed out directly from the cold iron cannon barrel, and hit about a hundred meters away with the high temperature and high speed generated by the gunpowder explosion, an armor made of bamboo and fur tied to the outside, and inside was a target made of bones left by the soul clan!
"Boom!"
Several layers of armor shattered instantly, and the armor pieces that exploded into a pile flew in all directions, and the hard bones that had been strengthened and refined by the soul clan were scattered in all directions.
In the end, even the stump that held the two in the center was interrupted, and the top half flew out several meters away!
The power of this cannonball is definitely beyond the one that Ji Ye took empty-handed before entering the city of the human race.
"Ho!"
And the "Thundering Thunder" Ling Zhen, who was directly holding the cold iron cannon barrel and launching, took two steps back with his feet, but the cold iron cannon barrel was still very firmly held in his hand, even though the cannon barrel that had just been fired was theoretically extremely hot.
This is Ling Zhen's special ability, his skin tone is bronze, and his arms can withstand the high temperature when the cannon is fired, and his accurate mastery of the cannon also allows him to directly use this small "cold iron artillery" as his exclusive weapon.
"One more time!"
Obviously, the cannon made of cold iron and designed with modern technology is very satisfying for the "Thunderbolt", who ranks at the top of the "Earth Evil Star".
Then, his face was a little excited.
This time, however, he picked up two shells and put them into the barrel without loading them with gunpowder.
Then he held his breath slightly.
Immediately after, there seemed to be a strong wind around him, and a large amount of gas was sucked into the cold iron cannon barrel.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Then, two black shells, one after the other, flew out of the barrel and hit two other targets, one on the left and one on the right, about 50 meters away. The armor on the target shattered, and it flew out directly!
Although the power of this "Lianzhu Cannon" is not as good as the last time it was fired with black powder, it is definitely not bad.
It was Ling Zhen who fused the "Mud Monster Heart" that belonged to the sacrifice when he came, and obtained the extraordinary ability that belonged to the Mud Monster clan.
It can be said that this extraordinary ability is fully matched with his "No. 1 Gunner of the Great Song Dynasty", which is enough to make the black powder and ancient artillery, which are not powerful enough in themselves, exert the power of the real modern cannonballs, and make their attack power not inferior to any outstanding master.
However, Ling Zhen's arrival is for the Erlong cottage stronghold.
The real meaning is far more than just adding a mortal-level combat power.
Rather, it lies in his ability to cast artillery, sub-mother cannons, golden wheel cannons, wind cannons, car box cannons, and sky-bombing cannons......
In addition, it is also because he can train "artillery", so that ordinary soldiers can also master the combat effectiveness of the mortal level!
"Commander Ling, the lord of the village has summoned you to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters."
At this time, a soldier shouted at Ling Zhen.
……
Erlong cottage, Juyi Palace.
At this time, in the main hall, there were already many people sitting.
In the row of seats on the left, sitting are a group of old players such as Meng Lao, Jiao Lao, Su Rongying, Qin Yueyu, Li Qing and so on.
On the seat on the left, sitting are Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Uncle Jiu, Ling Zhen and a number of other heroes!
The people sitting in these two rows are all people who play a pivotal role in the stronghold of Erlong Cottage and are also responsible for a matter of affairs in Erlong Cottage.
Of course, in addition to the main personnel in the left and right rows, there are also some people with outstanding abilities who have also been qualified to participate, such as Chu Yin and Brother Worm among the newcomers, and Pei San among the aborigines.
Also, Wu Qiao, who used to be a "beta player", was also able to attend because of his experience in the development of his own base.
"Li Qing, let's talk about the situation!"
Ji Ye nodded at Li Qing and said.
In the few days that Ji Ye left, Li Qing was actually the busiest compared to the rest.
Because, as a former scout and obtained the initial item of "Combat Effectiveness Detector", he is undoubtedly the best person to detect information about aliens.
Himeya left him with the "Mantis Invisibility Cloak" when he left.
In addition, the stronghold also consumed the two hundred rounds of ammunition that the second-order "Civilization Stone" equipped his pistol with, in order to allow him to detect the situation of the alien races around Erlong Mountain.
When Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen return from the city of the human race, it will be the time for the expansion offensive to be launched!
"According to my detection, there should be a total of four or five alien races bordering our stronghold."
"One is that there are two kinds of alien races under the cliff, the soul clan and the mud monster, and everyone already knows about these two kinds of information, so I won't say more, focusing on the remaining two."
"One is a creature named 'Forest Monster', the stronghold plane is to the west of our mountain, and the environment of its territory is a patch of very tall trees, the combat power level is around the fifth to eighth order, and the degree of development of civilization is unknown."
"Because after I infiltrated the giant forest, I was immediately discovered by the other party, and it seems that the other party can detect the intruder, so I can only say that I will retreat immediately!"
Li Qing opened his mouth as he spoke, and at the same time asked the security to show some of the schematic diagrams that had been drawn a long time ago to the people present.
"In addition, to the south of Erlong Mountain, there is a very special alien race called 'Metal Man'."
"There are some people who look like people on the outside, and they seem to have developed a more mature civilization in themselves. Most importantly, their territory is made up entirely of metallic materials. Moreover, it seems that all the metal people I encountered have mastered the power of the mortal level, and they are suspected of being able to manipulate metal substances to attack! ”
"The race of all metal?"
Hearing this, Jiao Lao's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had found some treasure mine.
"All the power of the mortal level?"
The rest of the people had a slight change of color because of the news.
"Transforming the mortal level does not mean that they are necessarily stronger, especially since they may not necessarily rely on their own strength."
"Don't forget, if we make a pistol, we have one hand. Then, it is equivalent to mastering all the mortal-level powers! ”
Meng Lao said.
His duty was first and foremost to teach the people of the cottage.
At the same time, it is also a think tank for intelligence analysis in the cottage, but at this time, it directly pointed out a possibility to stabilize the morale of the military.
"These are four."
"Why do you say that there may be another one, does it refer to the Eagle Clan?"
Ji Ye agreed with Meng Lao's words very much.
Technology is also a kind of extraordinary power, and even electricity is classified as one of them, and the key is to see how well you master it.
"It's not the Eagle Clan, although the Eagle Clan should be the biggest enemy at the moment, but it doesn't directly border our territory."
"The last one should be some kind of creature that can live in water, and there is no ground but a sea of water to the west of our cottage. When I sneered, I noticed some life fluctuations in it, but because I didn't see it specifically, I couldn't tell if it was an alien race or a creature that existed in the sea itself! ”
Li Qing explained.
"Sea water?"
"So, is my location on an island?"
Shang Yan was a little surprised.
"Maybe it's a corner of a continent, and our stronghold happens to be in the area near the sea!"
And Qin Yueyu put forward another possibility.
Outside the entire Erlong Mountain, standing on the mountain and looking at the past, there are fog areas in many places, and a certain distance away is completely white.
It obscures the view like the legendary "fog of war", so it is so difficult to determine what exactly is around Erlong Cottage.
"Wu Qiao, is there a sea around your stronghold?"
Su Lang affected something, and asked Wu Qiao, a "beta player" who had passed the trial.
"Nope."
"However, there is a lake in front of us, and there is a difficult amphibious alien race in the middle, and our stronghold was wiped out by them!"
Wu Qiao shook his head, his face slightly ugly.
Compared to the races that live on land, the races that can fly and go into the water may indeed be difficult to deal with.
"Let's not think about this for the time being, it's really on an island, and there is also the possibility of 'changing maps' like at the end of the trial."
"Now, let's decide. Which alien race do we choose to target first? ”
Ji Ye spoke at this time, pulling the topic to the end.
"Let's fight the metal clan!"
"An area that is all metal is even more important to us than a bunch of mortal-level resources."
"In particular, I suspect that the other party is able to manipulate metal, probably because of the terrain, and thus has mastered some kind of 'magnetic levitation' or something."
Jiao Lao's voice was very loud, and his eyes were also shining.
The amount of cold iron in the cottage is limited, and even if there is metal ore in other locations, it is not so easy to mine and refine.
A stronghold made entirely of metal is literally equivalent to a resource substance.
With these things, with the transformation of the Mortal Civilization Stone that falls out after killing the opposing player, the plane, the tank, the ship, ...... It's at least half as technically difficult!
"I think it's better to start with the 'mud monsters', after all, we already know a lot about them."
"And after these days of contact, it's clear that they shouldn't be very civilized. Roughly speaking, it is only equivalent to the level of primitive people who have learned to use some simple tools! ”
Meng Lao shook his head.
"If there are really a large number of metamorphoses in metal people, and if the level of civilization is high, we may lose a lot, I think the mud monster first!"
"No, judging from the fact that they are still only a first-level stronghold, it means that it is impossible to be too strong, otherwise it is impossible to be promoted to second-level. And since there are a large number of mortal-level existences, once we are defeated, we will also be able to obtain a large number of mortal-level combat power, and our strength will be greatly improved! ”
"Why don't you all think about 'forest monsters'? Their forest terrain should be more suitable for us to fight. ”
Subsequently, the people present also expressed their opinions.
"Mud monster, focus on stability."
"However, it is also possible to divide some people and test the attack methods of the other two races first."
In the end, it was Himeya who got the idea.
The reward of fighting "Metal Man" is likely to be greater, but the difficulty is likely to be no less.
And the "mud monster" itself has already lost twenty people, and the remaining number may be less than half of the Erlong cottage that has received "reinforcements", and it is almost certain to take it.
It's just that the fog in the Soul Valley is indeed a big problem.
"I have a solution, maybe I can try it!"
"Leader Wu, Li Qing, let's go down the cliff together first. Today, let's go and investigate the situation of the mud monster stronghold. ”
Ji Ye thought about it and looked at Wu Song and Li Qing.
When I went to attack the stronghold of the soul clan, I didn't worry about the opponent's defense because the opponent himself poured out.
But even then, there was still a third-order "Blood Soul Vine Tree" that appeared.
And creatures like mud monsters have obvious defensive capabilities stronger than offense from their life forms, so before attacking on a large scale, they must first figure out the defensive arrangement of the core of the opponent's stronghold.
