Early the next morning, Wu Zhongping led the team to set off first, and he led the army to participate in the meritorious service of the barrier, so the return to the city scroll had already been changed. And as a thief, in addition to the trap skills he had learned before, he also spent his feats to learn the legion skill of concealed marching in the fortress.

Zhou Haiyan had been ambushed by the legion of thieves who were secretly marching before, so after discovering this skill in the barrier, Ye Yihai asked Wu Zhongping to spend some contribution points to exchange this legion skill for emergencies, and now it can be used.

Wu Zhongping has been leading the legion for a while, although his soldiers have always been mainly miscellaneous soldiers, but the legion level is still brushed to level 10, so that he has more miscellaneous soldiers, and he can brush more contribution points for troops. And this operation, naturally, it can't be with miscellaneous soldiers, replaced by elite ranged soldiers, the combat power of his legion has also been greatly improved, combined with the increased attack power and agility attributes of his legion, it is still of great help to complete the task.

At the same time, there were also Zhang Xuebing and Hu Wenbin's corps, they were a team composed of miscellaneous soldiers, but in terms of numbers, they were relatively large, not to mention defeating the enemy's cavalry regiment, and the consumption could still be done. And the direction they are moving is completely away from Wu Zhongping, they are the power on the surface, they will form a horn momentum, they can support each other, and protect their two mines while also guarding the road to the third mine, the other party should not dare to skip them to occupy the third mine, because then they will be blocked by their two teams of people there to surround and kill. In this way, it can be regarded as taking care of three minerals.

And the rest is up to Ye Yihai and them to encircle with their troops, of course, Ye Yihai will try his best to rely on the march to force the other party, until the other party unknowingly stepped into the ambush prepared by Wu Zhongping.

However, when the battle really started, Ye Yihai realized that it was not the same thing at all.

The enemy did come, but it was not the harassing troops he imagined, but more than a dozen legions, the elite could not be talked about, but each legion had good combat effectiveness. And the key thing is that these legions are actually from two different lords! This, they are actually allied!?

Ye Yihai finally figured out now, why when he first came, he found that all the resources were divided between the two families but didn't see the legions of both sides, so he developed so quietly, he thought that the two sides were fighting and did not distinguish the winner, but now he knows that they are allied.

As far as Ye Yihai knew, the upgrade condition of this intermediate region was to destroy all the lords of the same map, so he didn't have any idea of forming an alliance before, and at most he cooperated with people for a short time to fight the enemy together. Could it be that these two guys are going to mix in the mid-level region for the rest of their lives? Or do you call your brother in your mouth, touch the knife in your hand, and be ready to yin your allies at any time?

No matter what the circumstances caused this alliance, it was not good news for Ye Yihai, they had only repelled the second legion now, but the other mineral resources had all fallen.

The only consolation is that Wu Zhongping was still in the shadow of a legion of the other party, and directly hit the other party by surprise, and killed the commander of the legion on the opposite side directly to the residual blood, forcing the opposite side to return to the city directly, and killed some of the opponent's soldiers in those 30 seconds, but unfortunately the legion that followed also forced Wu Zhongping to return to the city to save his life, and the loss of troops even exceeded that of the other party, of which the A-level soldiers lost a few.

Zhang Xuebing and Hu Wenbin's army was defeated in a head-to-head confrontation, and they hurriedly returned to the city, suffering greater losses, but fortunately, there were mostly miscellaneous soldiers.

Ye Yihai and their team are not afraid of these legions, but Ye Feifei was also forced to return to the city by the two legions of the other party, in fact, Ye Feifei's legions were stronger when they really fought, but in the case of being flanked, she really couldn't protect the fragile mage troops, in order to reduce losses, she took the initiative to return to the city, so in fact, the damage she caused was much higher than her battle damage.

Not to mention Zhou Haiyan, the high mobility ensures that the legion that she touches can't run away, only for the sake of returning to the city, with her attack power, she alone can cause extremely high damage to the enemy, and the two skills of having the will to fall into battle and spiritual victory are completely uncontrollable in her, and the threat to the enemy's legion leader is too great. How difficult it was for Ye Yihai to face Miyamoto Sanqian in the past, now these army commanders have a headache when facing Zhou Haiyan.

In the end, on this day, Ye Yihai successfully drove away all the enemies, but he didn't dare to continue to occupy these minerals, because it was obvious that these were not the main legions, and they could only bully Zhang Xuebing and their legions like Zhang Xuebing in a head-on battle, but it was still easy to occupy a mine or something, and if he wanted to continue to keep troops to occupy the mine, it would definitely be a meat bun and a dog, and there would be no return.

Frustrated, he retreated to the territory and convened again.

The meeting took a long time, but unfortunately, this time I simply did not find any good way, the only thing that is certain is that Ye Yihai also needs to increase his efforts to cultivate the second-line legion.

In the previous battle, it was obvious that the other side was a second-tier legion, but it was stronger than all the legions of Hu except for Ye Yihai and his three main regiments, which was not only manifested in the combat power of the soldiers, but in all directions, there were gaps in the level of the legion, command ability, response experience, etc.

There is not much difference in the quality of the soldiers in the legion, and the opposite side is also composed of B-level and C-level soldiers, but there is a significant gap in the number of soldiers due to the gap in the rank of the legion, and this is also the easiest one to catch up.

It's just that the issue of loyalty must be considered in the distribution of troops, and it can't be distributed casually, and the C-level troops he can obtain every week are basically fixed, and the random distribution is unbearable. It doesn't seem to be of much use, but patrolling the city and guarding the mines are also an indispensable force.

However, Elsa gave a solution to this problem, providing a certain amount of military spending, and the corps commander himself solved it. The C-level mercenaries in the pet mercenary shop are not expensive, and there are quite a few of them, plus there are also mercenaries that adventurers get in the dungeon that are also sold, and the Xiangyun Chamber of Commerce also has mercenaries for sale. Anyway, now that Ye Yihai is not bad for money, this is the best way. And for those with high contributions, you can also increase the amount of military spending, which can be regarded as an incentive.

In short, it was settled in the end. The adventurers who were selected by Ye Yihai to join the territory before all received a certain amount of start-up funds to start the development of the stomach legion.

And at this time, someone was unbalanced, that person was Xiang Tiange, the guy who first recommended himself, he has not yet been recognized by Ye Yihai, so he still did not get any support this time.
