Chapter 859: The Human Emperor's Strategy
"Big brother, what can we gain by entering this place?" Xiaoluan is the ancestor, and the level of cognition is higher than everyone else. She didn't understand that there was anything good here besides puppet technology. The big brother looks like he has been fighting for a long time, and he doesn't feel worth it, so it's better to stay in the human superstar and study academics.
"I'm looking. There is no such thing as a reason for no reason, there must be a reason, and I want to find that reason. Tang Shidao pointed to the wooden eagle.
The implication is that it is not normal for these 'plants' to fly.
They must have done it for some reason.
"Found it?"
"If you can understand it thoroughly, it may be a new level." Tang Shidao smiled.
"Is it higher than the Supreme?" Xiao Luan asked.
"I'm not sure yet, but there's no limit to power."
Speaking of which, Xiao Luan didn't say much anymore.
The huge wooden eagle flew leisurely, flying in the direction of the extra-long battle line. At this time, there are not many 'competitors' in the air. Because the Great Mora agrees to share, the craftsmen are even more eager to find a new kingdom of life. Technical help, to be honest, they feel more convenient to let the disciples help. After all, war only needs weapons, and it is enough to make some weapons suitable for the puppets of life.
After the long war for the little Moro decided to build the 'fortress', the work of the craftsmen became smaller, and they only told their disciples to do it for them.
Little Moro didn't mind either.
The more the master participates in aiding the Kingdom of Life, the safer it will be, and he doesn't care what way everyone uses. You must know that no one lacks materials, the problem is how to make better use of them, and craftsmen are the best at these things. Each of the life puppets is precious, they all represent the perfect embodiment of a certain technology, and protecting them is more important than getting a space.
Half a day later.
The first stop of the craftsmen arrived: the hot flow of fire river.
"I'm sorry, Craftsmen, but we can't lead any further. After passing the Hot Flow Fire River, the opposite side already belongs to the war zone. Although there aren't too many ogres on the other side, there are still quite a few scattered ones, especially those that can fly. It's okay for you to form small groups, but if you form too many numbers, the other side will gather over. "Little Moro sent him a little way, and he didn't continue.
"Wait a minute, little Moro, you mean ogres don't have legion-like tactics?" Minister Kuribayashi promptly asked.
"We haven't seen them use tactics yet, and they generally only target large groups."
"That's fine." Minister Kuribayashi nodded.
Tang Shidao also spoke: "Is this hot water river a battle line?" ”
Little Mo Luo nodded: "Yes, the temperature of this hot flow fire river is very high, which is very unfavorable for the crossing of the life race. We have deployed defenses all over the river. The source is a place called the Trembling Ice Field, and there are some defenses there. But the ogres hardly go to the Shivering Ice Field, nor do they fly, but only attack in the Hot Stream Fire River. The most downstream is the Hurricane Coast, which is ...... Well, we're all hard to defend ourselves against, and the tornadoes have hardly stopped. ”
A little introduction.
Everyone also understands that this hot river of fire is the offensive and defensive line.
There are ice fields above, hurricanes below, and the passages at both ends are not easy to walk, so the ogres can only choose to attack this river. At this time, there were still some native races on the other side of the riverbank, but there were no tribes and towns, and some had evacuated in advance.
The most interesting thing for everyone: the ruins!
In the Kingdom of Life, ruins are the most common thing. It is even said that some native races live in a certain ruin, relying on the ruin's architecture to survive and defend themselves. Because many of the ruins are underground, the invading ogres may not be able to penetrate completely. In the short term, there are some native races that don't want to go yet.
This trip.
The first place to be explored is the ruins, especially the remains of the life of the native races.
It is necessary for the craftsmen to persuade them away.
Equally.
If they have already been killed, the craftsmen try to find the fragments of the corpses, and if they do not have the fragments, they record the undestroyed ruins and texts, preserving the unknown information. In short, everything related to the puppet of life needs to be kept. The mercenaries don't understand this, so they can only do it by the craftsmen. On the other hand, the craftsmen also hope to find another kingdom of life through these materials.
At the first station of the hot flow fire river, the two sides were officially dispersed.
Wooden eagles flocked.
At this time.
All guards are on 'alert'. At the same time, some craftsmen with unique summoning spells also stepped in, summoning beasts or flying summoned beasts and letting them explore everything around them. Of course, the effect of 1 mana limit ...... All summoned beasts are scum! The good thing is that it's not a pity that the summoned beast dies, it's like the death of a big mouse.
Tang Shidao also raised his hand, and a human-faced bird the size of a crow flew quickly.
Finding the way ahead.
"Wood Eagle, don't go forward first, fly upstream. I've cast a 'Great Illusion of Life' spell on you, so that even if an enemy comes by, they will see you and think it's a piece of wood, and they won't be an object to eat. So, don't panic when you encounter the enemy, just let us go, and I will guarantee your safety. Tang Shidao gestured.
The wood eagle also chirped, signaling to the other companions.
Companions responded...... You don't feel like life now, but like a dead wood.
Hearing such a response, Mu Ying was also relieved.
Fly up.
The wooden eagle also responded with a spiritual sense: "The uppermost is the trembling ice field, the most difficult place for life puppets to move. Go there, and the weak risk of dying of cold. ”
Tang Shidao smiled and said, "We don't have to go to the ice field, go up a bit, and change the route when the summoned beast explores for a while." ”
Hearing this, everyone understood.
It is safer for a large group to set out, but the goal is too big. It's risky to travel in a small group, but it's not easy to provoke too many ogres. In fact, the craftsmen flew out of the distance and dispersed. The little Moro had warned that a large army would lead to a siege, and they did not take such a risk.
Air travel.
On the way, some troubles are inevitable.
There are not many flying species among ogres, they are scattered and search for prey everywhere. Probably crazy because of hunger, he rushed up to the target as soon as he saw it. In the face of such an air attack, no one was too worried. After all, there is no danger in a small number of enemies, and the craftsmen have the best equipment and the best guards.
Tang Shidao line.
I have to say.
The carcass is an excellent guard, with six arms and three crossbows, and small arrows that can shoot non-stop. And his archery skills are very skillful, basically one arrow is fatal. Tang Shidao ordered to catch one to see if it could be eaten, and the carcass immediately added a super-fine spider silk to the end of the crossbow arrow, shot one with one arrow and pulled it back. Like the most seasoned Revenant, he wields a knife with three hands, and does not spare the life puppet of death.
Cut off the claws and beak, and take out another bottle of antidote.
And then.
Quickly cut off a piece of meat and try it raw. He was the captain of the guard, and he wouldn't let Tang Shidao, a level 7 craftsman, take risks. The six can become a level 3 craftsman, and the six-armed group can live a good life, all because of the support of Tang Craftsman alone. In the orders of the clansmen, the Xuan Ba had long been determined to die in place of the Tang craftsman.
"Master Tang, it's inedible." After trying to be non-toxic, the carcass handed it over.
Tang Shidao took it gently.
Peel a small slice and taste it.
"It's like eating a piece of steel." Tang Shidao doesn't have to swallow it, he knows it as soon as he enters his mouth.
"Yes." The carcass only nodded.
At this time.
Tang Shidao reached out again and pressed the back of the wooden eagle: "Wooden eagle, I once again performed the Great Illusion of Life. If you encounter this strange bird again, you can chirp. They will mistakenly think that you are of the same kind, a higher rank, and will not dare to approach you. ”
Wood Eagle saw that there was someone on his back who could shoot, and he was not afraid to try.
Good for a while.
Five more steel-winged birds, wooden eagles chirping...... Sure enough, all five steel-winged birds were scared away.
Everyone was very shocked, and they were deeply impressed by the fact that Master Tang could 'taste' and know how to deal with the steel-winged bird in one bite. They didn't know that Tang Shidao had the perfect and omniscient eyes of the ancestors, and that he could easily understand what he had eaten and make corresponding strategies. It seems to them that knowing how to deal with it with just one bite is unimaginable.
"Big brother, can we make a whistle to 'scare away' this steel-winged bird?" Xiaoluan is very flexible in thinking.
"Well, that's what we do."
"Better than a weapon."
"Not necessarily, it's a deception after all. It is useful for those who go out to reconnoitre, but it has no effect on the decisive battle of life and death. Tang Shidao said that the role is limited.
Everyone was speechless, after all, this is the harvest of a bite.
To this extent...... No other craftsman can match it.
Next.
On the way, several strange birds attacked, and the carcass didn't need anyone to make a move, and one person killed them all. At the same time, pull one of each one back. He still cuts off his claws and teeth first every time to prevent him from playing dead. He also tried it first every time, and it was not poisonous or harmless before he let Tang Shidao eat it.
Surprising.
Most of these strange birds can't be eaten, but some are edible...... It is like the smell of forest flowers and fruits.
White beauties are a little resistant to 'eating raw', even if it is like fruit.
Xiaoluan and the others are fine, just eat them.
Discover the first relic on the banks of the Thermal Fire River: the Stone Fort. Tang Shidao and the others also landed to visit these slightly panicked life puppets. Because of the other party's sense of resistance, Tang Shidao did not choose to stay and communicate slowly, which would take too much time.
"We want to exchange something."
"What do guests want?"
"Food."
"And what can you offer?" The puppets are all like a group of stone people, but possess a certain level of intelligence. Knowing that there was an enemy invasion, they did not resist the helpers too much. Because the representatives of the native race have spread the word, the invading enemy cannot communicate, and everyone must be desperately prepared. So, they can tell the difference between friend and foe.
"Tools." Tang Shidao took out several bone whistles, indicating that it had the effect of 'scaring away' strange birds.
"What's the use of it?" The leader of the stone men didn't quite understand.
War is better than fists.
Themselves are protected by stone forts and do not need weapons against the air.
"You can exchange with the mercenaries on the other side of the river, and exchange weapons with them, armor, food, and everything you want. Mercenaries need sentinels to patrol and can't stick to one place. So, they need this kind of stuff very much. If they need it, you can get a lot of supplies. Tang Shidao said.
"Why don't you change?"
"I don't lack those things, and I want a friendly proof from you that going down and meeting your people will allow me to continue my business."
"Yes. Thank you for your help, your name? ”
"Tang Shidao."
"We will remember you, kind guest." The stone man sends out a stone chip with a special rune on it.
The transaction is simply closed.
Tang Shidao and his party left with some cave mushrooms.
Small half a day.
The little Mo Luo on the other side received the message: "The stone man took the 'whistle technology' that the sentry needed to exchange supplies with us?" ”
The informant reported: "Yes, they say that the technology originated from the Tang Craftsman......"
A long paragraph is said in detail.
At this time.
Little Mo Luo laughed: "Great, worthy of being the emperor of men." OK, multiply five times to them. As long as the native races are willing to trade, we don't care about supplies. They don't trust us, and that's the most troublesome thing. It's good to be able to trade back and forth. Send someone to inquire about what they have produced and buy them at a high price. ”
"I asked, but cave mushrooms are just useless food."
"They don't need to be useful and don't affect their lives, so they can buy them at a high price. If you don't like to eat and throw it away, it's okay to keep the business cooperation. ”
"Yes."
