Chapter 313: The Empty City
The two powerhouses didn't get much information from the captives, and they barely left the territory of Rock Spider City, only knowing the two closest cities.
One is called Sword Spider City, which is a level 2 city, and it is also another city that Wildtalon has explored. The other one is called Cai'e City, which is a level 3 city, Yuan Mu has heard of this city, and the poison-scaled assassin who appeared in the Shadow City is the wandering unit near Cai'e City.
Although the poison scale assassin did not accept Yuan Mu's recruitment, he told the boss of the Black Dragon Man more information. It's just that the poison scale assassin didn't know how to get to Cai'e City, he ran to the ground by accident, and Yuan Mu only now knew that Cai'e City was nearby.
Knowing the location of Cai'e City, Yuan Mu also used some of the information he obtained. The Poison Scale Assassin also told him some basic information about the surroundings of Cai'e City, and he didn't know more confidential information. He is an advanced field unit and has just started to wander.
The second strong also confirmed from the captives that Rock Spider City, Sword Spider City, and Cai'e City had all sent troops to attack the forest, and those troops had not yet returned.
Sword Spider City and Cai'e City are in two directions, Sword Spider City is closer, and it is a level 2 city. After Yuan Mu consulted with Leo and Usor, it was decided that Ursol would stay in Rock Spider City, and Yuan Mu and Leo would attack Sword Spider City.
Rock Spider City is their first stronghold underground, and it is also the way back, and Ursol will explore the surroundings and manage it.
Yuan Mu didn't want to wait for Sword Spider City to be fully prepared, and after knowing the information of Sword Spider City, he set off directly with his troops and Leo. Erqiang quickly recruited a few captives, and they would lead the way for Yuan Mu.
---------------------------
Sword Spider City and Rock Spider City are equal in strength, the symbol class of Rock Spider City is the Cave Spider, and the symbol class of Sword Spider City is the Abba Dang Sword Spider.
When Yuan Mu and Leo arrived at the territory of Sword Spider City with their troops, the troops of Sword Spider City were already defending a passage camp outside the city. There were only a few squadrons in the camp, and there was only one hero who led them, a level 4/3 Aybadam Swordsman hero.
Yuan Mu was considering whether to try to communicate again when the Gladiator Hero actually commanded the ranged troops of Sword Spider City to take the initiative to shoot at his troops.
"Since they choose to fight, then attack. Tausno, rush forward. "Yuan Mu was annoyed by the Sword Spider City troops.
Tausno received the order and led his troops to charge. There was no suspense, and the troops quickly rushed into the camp and fought with the Abba Dang Sword Spider, Fighting Spider, Abba Dang Swordsman, and Abba Dang Spy in the camp.
The forces of Sword Spider City are easier to deal with than those of Rock Spider City, as they are not good at using poison. The toxicity of the creatures in Rock Spider City is very annoying to the forest troops, and even if they have prepared in advance, it will take time to clear them after the battle.
The troops in the camp soon could not resist the attack of Yuan Mu's troops, and began to retreat under the command of the swordsman hero. But the direction of their retreat was not the cave where Sword Spider City was, but another passage.
Because the terrain of the tunnel is complicated, and they are afraid of an ambush, the troops chased them for a while and did not pursue them again, and the key is to break through the Sword Spider City.
Yuan Mu led his troops into the cave where Sword Spider City was located, this cave was as huge as the cave in Rock Spider City, and there were also mine caves and field buildings in it, and Sword Spider City was built in the center of the cave.
"There is no rock wall passage for them to escape this time, first guard the entrance to the cave and then attack the city." Yuan Mu gave an order, and he wanted to grab more people to get information about the underground tunnel.
The subordinates agreed to come down and separate to guard the entrances of the caves, while Yuan Mu led the main force to the outside of Sword Spider City. But when the troops attacked the city, they unexpectedly found that there were few troops defending the city, and the troops easily captured the Sword Spider City.
Entering Sword Spider City with doubts, Yuan Mu found that the inhabitants here had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty city.
"My lord, they are also moving too fast, and not long after we came underground, they completely withdrew the troops and residents." Delia was surprised.
Yuan Mu was also a little surprised, it was not easy to move the residents away completely, and the lords of the underground would abandon the city so easily?
After thinking about it, he called a few captives who had been recruited by Erqiang, and Yuan Mu questioned them carefully.
A crossbowman said, "Lord...... The lord of Rock Spider City evacuated the inhabitants of the city a few days in advance, and when the adults attacked the city, only combat troops remained in Rock Spider City. ”
Soon, the prisoners of Sword Spider City recruited by the second strong also answered Yuan Mu's question: "The lord of Sword Spider City also withdrew the residents and most of the troops in the city a few days in advance, leaving only a small part of the troops. ”
"Where did they go?" Yuan Mu asked.
"It seems to be in the direction of Cai'e City." The captives were also uncertain, and the lord did not tell them when he moved the inhabitants, they only had to follow the orders of the hero.
Leo also heard it and analyzed: "It seems that the troops of Rock Spider City and Sword Spider City have been concentrated in the third-level city of Cai'e City, and they should have known in advance that we would come." ”
Yuan Mu also agreed, the dispatch of forest troops is not a secret thing, and the underground city can always get news. Several of them had already guessed that the forces of the underground city would be concentrated and fight against the troops from the forest.
Yuan Mu just wondered if the lords of Rock Spider City and Sword Spider City retreated so decisively, weren't they afraid that the forest troops would destroy the city, this was their own city.
"Now that they have sufficient preparations, we can't make a quick decision, let's send scouts to reconnoiter Cai'e City, let's explore the surrounding situation first."
----------------------------
Yuan Mu and Leo first reported to Usor and told them the latest situation. Ursol continued to stay in Rock Spider City, and Yuan Mu and Leo stayed in Sword Spider City, and then gathered when they attacked Cai'e City.
Now that he decided to prepare for another attack, Yuan Mu also began to manage the territory of Sword Spider City to get some supplies from it.
Although the troops and residents of Sword Spider City were prepared to retreat, they did not destroy anything, all kinds of buildings were in good condition, and even the tools and equipment of the mine and lumber yard were preserved.
Yuan Mu selected some low-level subordinates to work as miners and workers temporarily. They collect less resources per day from resource points such as mines and lumberyards than professional miners, but they always produce something.
Troops are also sent to explore the outside of the caves, which are suitable for the player and the troops of the low-level cities. In addition to what they get from exploring, they can also recruit troops and obtain items from Sword Spider City.
Sword Spider City's classes are of little help to Yuan Mu, but other players are not picky eaters. Although the heroes of Forest City don't like dark troops, they can also use them as cannon fodder to reduce the losses of natural troops.
In addition to exploring the terrain and wild buildings outside the caves, another of their missions is to find wandering units in the wild. There was very little information from Rock Spider City and Sword Spider City, and the residents had already been evacuated, so Yuan Mu still wanted to try to get some information from the wandering unit.
Cai'e City is a level 3 city, and now it has gathered troops from Rock Spider City and Sword Spider City. If the underground cities had been ready to unite a long time ago, then there should be more of the city's troops gathered in Cai'e City.
Yuan Mu, Leo, and Ursol are all waiting for the scouts to find a safe way to Cai'e City before setting off.
