After groping, the subtleties of the three treasure chests came to Ning Yuan's mind, all of which were extremely subtle normal differences in materials. You must know that there is basically no identical situation for any of the same things in the Neno continent, that is, there is no such thing as copying and pasting, except for individual skills. However, at the locks of the three treasure chests, Ning Yuan made a different discovery.

"The latches on the left and right sides are smooth, except for the latch in the middle box with slight etching marks. It's slight, so you can't see it. After careful and repeated confirmation, Ning Yuan's expression relaxed: "It seems that it is right." The one in the middle should be the real treasure chest. If you guess wrong, then if there are real treasure chests on both sides, it is not too much of a loss to consume a resurrection. ”

Although he was talking to himself like this, Ning Yuan was still prepared to talk about personnel just in case. Due to the existence of the height trap, Ning Yuan maintained a squatting posture and pretended to be over, and then turned his back to the treasure chest in a very unsightly posture like a "yellow dog peeing", put his left toe on the lock of the treasure chest, and propped his hands on the floor to maintain a state of running to a safe area at any time. Although it may not be useful if it really explodes, it will not be a point if you have one more chance of saving your life. So Ning Yuan didn't feel any discomfort about his current shameful state, and no one saw it anyway.

When the treasure chest was pushed by his left foot and made a "creaking" sound, Ning Yuan had already rushed out with a "vicious dog pounce". Then, after making sure that there was no unusual noise, Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his body over, and propped his hands on the ground to look back at the treasure chest.

I saw that the treasure chest was quietly kept open, and the treasure chests of the confirmed traps on both sides did not move.

After confirming that it was safe, Ning Yuan still maintained a squatting posture and came to the open treasure chest, and then reached into the treasure chest with both hands to grope.

The chest appears to be the same item that feels like a blueprint. Ning Yuan was a little disappointed, he spent so much effort and used such a shameful action, and in the end he only gained a drawing that he didn't know if it was useful. Even with a calm state of mind, Ning Yuan was unwilling.

However, when Ning Yuan took out the things that were suspected of being drawings, the unwillingness and disappointment in the system's prompt sound were all transformed into infinite surprise and surprise.

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the hidden architectural blueprint 'Resource Well'."

When he heard the hidden architectural drawings, Ning Yuan knew that this wave was not a loss. When I heard the 'Well of Resources', I was surprised and surprised. You must know that Ning Yuan resolutely took a huge risk to enter the Dragon's Tooth Mountain Range, in order to be the professional token of the inaugural lord's profession and the city foundation certificate that existed in the Nameless Tablet Forest. And a city is indispensable for the development of population, functional buildings, resources, etc. In addition to the normal refresh of the city, the population can also be obtained by collecting displaced people and plundering wars, but these need to be supported by food and other resources. Resources need to occupy the resource land and arrange personnel to collect and process, etc., but the resource land is often garrisoned by wild monsters, which requires the population to wage war. It can be said that population and resources are the foundation of a city's development on the basis of mutual dependence. Functional buildings are the key to converting resources into population, and population into combat power. The hidden architectural blueprint of the 'Resource Well' that Ning Yuan had now harvested gave Ning Yuan a chance, a chance to own a resource land without starting a war. Of course, the value of the 'well of resources' depends on the specific attributes of this 'well of resources'.

Ning Yuan returned to the safe area with the drawings, and then looked at the specific properties:

"The Well of Resources: Functional Buildings for Material Production. Type: Special resource (gem, crystal, sulphur, mercury). Effect: Increases the production of special resource points by 10%!, (MISSING) Produces 1 unit of each special resource from the resource well every day. Building Requirements: 20 gems, 20 crystals, 20 sulfur, 20 mercury, 10 premium building materials. Front Building: None. ”

"Shhh It's powerful, but it's also cumbersome. ”

This was Ning Yuan's first impression after looking at the attributes. It's definitely worth it, though. The absence of pre-buildings means that as long as the resources are in place, even a junior village can build a resource well. And the Well of Resources is obviously built as early as possible, which is something that adds to the foundation.

After looking at the detailed properties again, Ning Yuan put the blueprint of the "Well of Resources" into the Kun bag along with the recovered crossbow arrows, and then lifted the shoe that served as a tentative object and walked towards the passage on the right according to the original goal.

After that, the distance did not exceed the setting of memory, and Ning Yuan came to a distance only one step away from the central exit of the dragon's tooth labyrinth. However, the three floors in the last block of this step made Ning Yuan stumped.

The reason for the stump is simple: the floor of the last step is not in Ning Yuan's memory. In his memory, the position where Ning Yuan was standing now was the last, and one step forward was the secret passage where the exit of the labyrinth was located. However, what was now presented in front of Ning Yuan's eyes was that the floor of the labyrinth was one more square. And it's a grid that can't be crossed. Because a transparent wall rises behind the three-panel floor in this row. I can't see it, but I can feel it clearly.

"Okay. Again, it is the result of changes in the world line. Ning Yuan stood on the floor of the penultimate block and frowned and muttered to himself: "The overlapping memories of the Dragon's Tooth Labyrinth are no longer useful. ”

"What should I do?" Ning Yuan looked at the three floors in front of him that were exactly the same as those before, and struggled: "Or, take a gamble?" There's a one-in-a-three chance anyway. ”

"No, let's make sure what type of three floors are if they have traps?" Ning Yuan hugged his chest with his left hand, and tapped his right index finger on his forehead and thought, "But how can you be sure?" Because he was born directly in the wild, there are no props in the Kun bag except for the 100 gold coins given by the system. The bolts from the previous harvest were also consumed along with the straw sandals in the place where 'I' had died for the third time. There are only 3 blueprints left in the Kun bag, which were harvested in the maze. Speaking of gold coins... ”

Ning Yuan took out three gold coins from Kun's bag, flipped them in his hand, and tentatively threw one on each of the three floors.

The gold coin swirled in the air and fell to the ground trembling. Then, nothing happened. Looking at the gold coins on the floor, Ning Yuan inexplicably felt a wordless mockery.

"Aren't there any traps? Or is it the wrong amount? After a brief moment of embarrassment, Ning Yuan tried to stretch out his toes and step on the floor to see if it was a trap that required a certain amount of weight to launch. And yet nothing happened. There are no imaginary replica pits, no crossbow bolts suddenly shooting from the walls, and the most likely build figure to appear in the final level does not appear.

After repeatedly applying weight on the three floors with his toes, and even stepping on the stone slab with one foot, Ning Yuan finally determined that there really was no trap. But is this possible? Probably, right? Impossible, right? Ning Yuan clearly felt that the invisible wall on the distance was one step away, and fell silent.

"Is it really that I'm thinking too much?" In the tangle of self-doubt, Ning Yuan unconsciously stepped on the floor of the last square. The whole person lost his mind instantly.

When Ning Yuan came back to his senses, his consciousness was no longer in the dragon's tooth maze, but in a chaotic camp. It doesn't look like a weak human when he first entered the game, but a seven-foot strong man in armor. The armor was covered in scratches, and there were even undried blood dripping down the edges of the armor. A bloodstained broadsword stuck into the ground beside him. A bloody sergeant who looked like a herald knelt three paces in front of him, as if to report something.

Just when Ning Yuan was stunned, a piece of information was ingested in his mind, and at the same time, the voice of the sergeant in front of him with exhaustion and faint despair came: "My lord, except for the other three directions behind him, the enemy army has been surrounded. Five hundred guards have been concentrated in front of the tent, the soldiers of the front and middle battalions have already engaged the enemy, our morale is low, outnumbered, and there is a possibility of rout at any time. Please make a quick decision. ”

"Behind you is home." A hoarse and difficult voice sounded, and Ning Yuan, who looked like a big man, took a deep breath. He had learned about his situation and the critical situation he was in. As expected, he himself did not leave the Dragon's Tooth Labyrinth, but his consciousness fell into an illusion or the final trial of the Dragon's Tooth Labyrinth when he stepped on the last floor.

This is a city-state war that takes place at an unknown time. The enemy is the aggressor, and we are the defender. And the big man that Ning Yuan's consciousness is now attached to is the city lord of the city twenty miles behind him, a small D-level city called "Xiuyuan". As for why we are here when we are supposed to be in the city. Needless to say, it was because we stepped on the other party's trap.

Originally, we received data on the strength of the enemy and our troops, which were 25,000, 5,000 vanguards, 10,000 regular troops, 5,000 reserves, and 5,000 baggage. Our troops, together with reserves and logistics, totaled 12,000. Originally, although there was a huge disparity in the number of troops, we had a city to defend, although it was only a small D-level city with an upper population of 150,000, but because of the perennial "beast tide" that inevitably occurred every year, the city was quite strong, so it was not afraid. Even if the opponent chooses this excellent time to attack just after the "Beast Tide".

Just when we were planning to fight a battle with the other party under the protection of the city, we received new information. The enemy army raised an army of 100,000 troops in the rear again, and among the 25,000 enemy troops in advance there was a large group (100 people) of mountain destroyers, and the enemy army had 5 siege beasts. Now we're Muggles. The difference in strength is ten times at once, and the mountain destroyers and siege beasts are both siege troops that specialize in destroying mountains and villages, how can this be fought?

But just when we were racking our brains to break the situation, the scout cavalry we sent sent sent a piece of information about the enemy's 5,000 vanguards. This information gave Dahan, who was the lord of the city, a glimmer of hope.

The scout cavalry found the figure of the opponent's mountain destroyer and siege beast among the enemy's 5000 siege vanguards, perhaps because there are enough siege troops, although the enemy's other siege vanguards do not know the detailed troops, they are all archers and cavalry suitable for suppressing and raiding the broken army. And perhaps because most of them are mounted troops, the distance between the enemy's vanguard and the main army is a little wider. Well, maybe it shouldn't be said to be a little big, but very big. This gave us an opportunity to annihilate the enemy's vanguard and destroy the enemy's siege troops. And as long as the enemy's siege troops are defeated, it can effectively boost the morale of our army and hit the opponent's arrogance.

As for whether this is a trap for the other side? Dahan didn't think about it. Because even if it is a trap, Dahan has no choice but to step on it. There is no doubt that the enemy's regular army is infantry, and the fact that the enemy striker is only 5,000 has been repeatedly confirmed by the scouts. Then, as long as we concentrate our forces and deliver a thunderous blow, and are fast enough, then even if it is a trap, we are sure that we can successfully retreat to the city after eating the opponent's vanguard. As long as the opponent's siege troops are defeated, then this battle will still be fought now that the rescue letter has already been issued.

Soldiers are fast. Therefore, when the two waves of scouts sent back the same information, Dahan did not have time to wait for the confirmation of the follow-up scouts, so he led all 10,000 troops out of the city except for a few reserves and some logistics, ready to ambush on the edge of the forest sixty miles before leaving the city.

However, all this fell into the calculations of the other party. It is true that the enemy sent a total of 120,000 troops, but the number of siege troops in the first place was wrong. Long before we received the information that the other side was coming to attack the city, the other side had already hidden 20,000 main battle forces near our territory through various means. The real vanguard siege force is 25,000, yes, but not the 5,000 pioneers who are used as bait in front and the 20,000 including reserves and baggage in the back, which are detected by our reconnaissance cavalry, but the 5,000 decoy pioneers and the 20,000 elites who have long been assembled and hidden.

So before our army had time to ambush, it first encountered an unexpected ambush from the other side. Under the blow of the opponent's 20,000 absolute main elites, especially under the covering blow of nearly half of the troops with long-range capabilities, our side was still confused about the situation by the sudden appearance of enemy forces, and our side was defeated.

Chasing and fleeing all the way, twenty miles away from the city, he finally managed to retract the remaining rout in this once left camp. There were originally more than 10,000 troops, but now only 2,000 remain. And in addition to the 500 personal guards, there are only 300 soldiers left who can really be regarded as elite.

Now the enemy has caught up and completed the encirclement on three sides.

Dahan knows that the last side is not surrounded by the other party, nor is it that the other party cannot be surrounded. Rather, the other party deliberately kept our last retreat. First, it can eliminate the fighting spirit of our army, and second, it can encircle our army and rush into the city effortlessly.

In fact, no matter what the other side does, our side has already lost. Even if all the remaining forces were safely withdrawn to the city, they would have been defeated. We are no longer able to defend the city.

Ning Yuan had sorted out all the information. I know that this test can be said to be ten deaths. All he could do was make a final struggle and arrangement.

The big man possessed by Ning Yuan did not continue to speak after saying the sentence "Behind him is home". Instead, he grabbed the big knife stuck in the ground and walked out of the tent. Then stop in front of the array of 500 guards assembled in the camp.

Listening to the shouts of killing and the screams of the soldiers when they died, their eyes reflected the anxiety, panic and despair on the faces of the guards in the front row. The big man possessed by Ning Yuan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the herald beside him, and a hoarse voice with majesty sounded:

"Order: All the remaining scouts and cavalry quickly withdraw to the city to inform the city deputy of two things: first, immediately organize the elite and seedlings in the city to evacuate along the predetermined passage, and the remaining people will close the city gate, and they will not be allowed to open the door if they see any defeated army on our side."

The heralds and guards were all stunned when they heard the order from the big man's mouth, and then they were shocked. But Dahan didn't care, but then ordered:

"Second, if the enemy army comes to attack the city during the closure of the city gate, let the city deputy open the door and surrender. If the other party does not kill after entering the city, the evacuees can be recalled according to the situation. If... Dahan's voice paused, closed his eyes, and then opened, his eyes were indifferent and cold, and his voice became cold, "If the other party insists on killing or intending to slaughter the city after entering the city, then let the dead soldiers arranged by the city deputy order detonate the city after most of the enemy army enters the city." with the enemy ... Fight like Kilkenny cats. Buy time for the fire that our city evacuated. ”

He closed his eyes again, was silent for a while, and waved his hand to the herald, "Go and give the order." Let all the scouts withdraw together, and be sure to get the order to the ears of the city lieutenant. ”

"Yes. My lord. The herald saluted the close-eyed man and turned to leave. He had already vaguely guessed the choice of the city lord.

Not only the heralds, but all the guards also vaguely knew the city lord's choice after hearing the city lord's second order. Although the look of fear and panic on his face had not completely faded, a faint aura of perseverance had risen.
