Chapter 44: The War of Atrition
Su Xiao described the general situation of the task in three sentences, the process still has to go through a while, as for whether the female contractor can complete this task, it is the other party's own problem.
Of course, if the other party feels that the mission reward is low, Su Xiao still has Lv.39 and Lv.40 campaign missions.
"This ......"
Minai sorted out the language in her mind, and although she still had a smile on her face, she actually had greetings such as MNP in her heart.
"I can't do it."
Compared to dying on the way to the mission, Minai feels that it is actually nothing to admit now.
"This is a test for you, and I am very optimistic about you."
Su Xiao waved her hand to signal Mina to leave, Minai obviously wanted to fight again, but the demonic beasts around her gradually became unfriendly.
When Minai left the stone house, his teammates outside the stone house had been waiting for a long time.
"I feel that this Qinggang King is a little ...... Odd. ”
Minai frowned, she felt that Su Xiao was different from the characters in the plot, but she couldn't describe the difference for a while.
In fact, Su Xiao didn't care if it was exposed, if these middle- and low-level contractors rebelled collectively, it would be a good benefit.
What Su Xiao was really worried about was another thing, the Sun Tribe would definitely be defeated, and the nearby Frog Tribe (Poison) and Hazaro Tribe (Predator) were all starting to be restless.
Once these two sides are reinforced, it will be a war of attrition, and it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end.
……
Frontline battlefields.
This is a small slope of the slope, the ramp is paved with uneven rubble, and the number of corpses is poured here, and further up, the most central area of the Sun Tribe, the Burning Fire Sacrifice Site.
The Burning Shrine is not a building, but a hollowed-out mountain that is only more than 200 meters high.
In normal times, the people of the Sun Tribe were forbidden to enter, but today due to the situation, the Sun Tribe retreated to the incinerated volcano.
The roar of the incinerating volcano continued, and the Titan forces continued to pour long-range firepower, as did the ranged zerg of Margo's faction.
If it was a normal mountain, it would have been flattened by this time, but the incineration volcano was only shattered by its shell, revealing a layer of black rock.
The texture of this rock is similar to that of ore, and it has withstood nearly two hours of bombardment, and the blue-blue flames almost enveloped the entire mountain.
There are three entrances to the volcano, two of which are on the left, and Marg's faction is responsible for the attack.
As for the entrance on the right, it is in charge of the spiny zerg.
This cave entrance is about five meters wide and seven meters high, which seems to be spacious, but the demon beasts have almost blocked the entrance of the cave, and they are rushing inside.
The Sun warriors inside fought to the death, causing the two sides to evolve from a decisive battle to a war of attrition.
Su Xiao didn't expect the Sun Tribe to have such a primordial fortress, but it was just a death struggle.
Of the 120,000 Sun warriors of the Sun Tribe, there are only about 30,000 left, and almost all of the 170,000 ordinary people have been killed in battle.
The Sun Tribe wanted to fight to the death, they had reached the point of desperation, 400,000 tribesmen, half of whom died in battle, the old and the young were sent to the frog tribe by the big leader Gulaba.
Don't think that this will continue the Sun Tribe, those old and young will be gradually assimilated by the Frog Tribe, and become their own people.
The Great Leader of the Sun Tribe, Gulaba, did not leave, nor did the four fire priests, who were to guard the last glory of the Tribe, the Burning Volcano, which was the place where the Sun Tribe originated and where it ended.
Su Xiao didn't know how the casualties on Marge's side were, but the demon beast army on his side suffered nearly 70,000 casualties.
Su Xiao now pinned his hopes on the precious materials in the incineration volcano, otherwise this war would be lost.
……
Behind the war zone, inside a wooden tent.
Several contractors stood outside the wooden tent, their expressions somewhat dull, because the quartermaster of their own camp was actually a dog, which was difficult to disrupt these charismatic contractors.
In the beginning, some people tried to negotiate with Bu Bu Wang with bones, but the result was that the exchange price was 10% higher, and the charm attribute was also invalid, which was a matter of course, and Bu Bu Wang's charm attribute was higher than theirs.
Inside the wooden tent, there are several contractors who are negotiating with Bu Buwang, who is just idle and bored, so he occasionally raises or lowers the price.
Bubuwang snorted, and after checking the exploits of one of the contractors in front of him, he reduced the exchange price by 12%.
Seeing this, the man in armor looked happy, nodded politely to Bu Buwang, and said, "Thank you, I'm only 57 points short of combat merits, and I think I'll miss this golden equipment." ”
In fact, there is no need to curry favor with Bu Bu Wang, it will measure the price according to the number of war exploits obtained by the contractor, and the more battle merits, the better the contractor's performance in the war, and Bu Bu will reduce the price by 10%~15%.
If the battle achievements are low, Bubuwang will raise the price by about 5%~10%, so that these contractors can actively participate in the war.
If it is only a small amount of combat exploits that can be exchanged for the items you like, Bu Buwang will also lower the price appropriately, anyway, these items are not his, they are all provided by the Reincarnation Paradise.
……
At the entrance on the left side of the incinerating volcano, waves of elite demon beasts were rushing inside, ordinary demon beasts couldn't enter at all, and if they entered, they would die, and they couldn't hold it for a few seconds.
More than two hundred contractors were near the entrance, and the waves of elite demon beasts that rushed in stunned them, that kind of boss, rushed in and died in batches.
No contractor dared to step into the cave, and they might have been burned to death by the flames that erupted from it before they could go any further.
The sky gradually darkened, and the battle continued, the combat power of the elite demon beasts was much stronger than that of ordinary demon beasts, and they charged in waves, and the scorching sun warriors in the cave could no longer stop them after blocking them for ten hours.
"The line of defense has been breached!"
A contractor stood by the cave and watched, and found that the demonic beast inside had rushed into the depths.
"What to do? This TM is simply a volcano. ”
"You may die if you go in, but you will definitely get a lot of benefits."
The contractors discussed with each other, they are all in the same camp, so there will be no infighting, this is not how united the contractors of the reincarnation paradise side are, but if there is infighting, the party that takes the initiative will be forcibly expelled from the Zerg camp.
As you can imagine, the surrounding area is full of demonic beasts, and once they become enemies or neutrals, they are dead.
"Enter! Wealth and danger are sought. ”
"Coincidentally, that's what I mean."
Most contractors chose to enter the cave, which was dark and shiny, filled with a pungent smell of burnt paste, and the ground was covered with the ashes of the Zerg that had been burned to ashes.
Ten minutes later, a wolf cry came from inside the cave, and dozens of contractors rushed out of the cave, most of them burned all over their bodies, and even burned their limbs to charring.
"What's the matter?"
A female contractor opened her mouth with a smile on her face, and her smile was a little unscrupulous, and before this, she had thought that it was not easy to make progress here.
"Don't mention it, there is a fire priest and three flame Dika blocking it, and you can't get in at all."
"Poof~"
Laughter was heard, and the bewildered contractors looked at the source.
"I feel like this is playing a dungeon, you guys have met an elite monster."
A teenager laughed, the war was far less dangerous than he had imagined before, as long as he didn't die, following the demon beast to pick up the benefits, it was simply beautiful, this world must remember one thing, that is, you can't be hard, you really can't be scared.
"Elite fart, you go and see, the fire priest's grandson's fierce spleen bursts, the fire priests are all as strong as that, and the big leader Gulaba must be so strong."
It was a chubby contractor who spoke, and he patted the black ash on his body, and just now, he was almost burned to ashes.
As the contractors discussed how to extinguish the flame priest, a tall figure wearing a mask and horns walked through the crowd and headed into the cave.
Click......
The ice spread, sealing the entrance to the cave in an instant.
