Chapter 172: Speculation

As for the other twelve, they were all ordinary cannon fodder with spears, but this time they did not continue to play the role of peasants because they brought a large number of coolies with them. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Instead, they spread out, patrolling around with heavy steps, and miraculously, their neckless helmets could sway from side to side within a hundred and eighty degrees in front of them, just like human heads, as if they were alert to movement in the surrounding forest.

It seems that they should have found out that the few people who fought in front of the station had been killed, but as for whether it was a monster in the forest or an enemy in this strange world, Li Rui estimated that they should not have figured it out.

Because from the reaction of them nesting in the base to repair the wall, and the analysis of the fact that they didn't see any scouts and other characters along the way, these guys are definitely not willing to divide their troops to go out on adventures, but are ready to wait for reinforcements, waiting for the next batch of centaurs, or the next few batches of centaurs, to come, and then talk about it when their strength is strong.

I don't plan to take this little bit of people who have come over now and continue to venture into the unknown forest to explore the way, but instead supervise the real farmer here to cut down trees, build walls, dig ditches and divert water, or something.

I have to say that although this is a stupid method, it is very effective, and at their construction speed, it is estimated that it will not be long before a small fortress that can accommodate thousands of people can be built.

Moreover, this primeval forest is rich in food, the land is fertile, there are fish in the river, there are all kinds of wild beasts in the forest, and the forest can be cut down and planted with some food, so that it is really not a big problem to raise one or two hundred coolie farmers in the area around the fortress alone.

As for those magical creatures, they don't have to eat, and even if they stay here for a long time, there are no logistical restrictions, which is simply too suitable for this kind of defensive and counterattacking play!

In addition, the farmers they brought, although they are only cutting down trees with axes, their efficiency in cutting trees is not lower than that of a chainsaw, basically they can cut down a tree with a diameter of tens of centimeters in three or four clicks, I really don't know what kind of things their axes are made of!

It's only been a day's work, and they have already cut the surrounding forest back more than 30 meters, and there are still many people who continue to sweat and swing their axes today, and there is no sign of stopping here.

There are even a small number of them, digging up the remaining tree stumps, digging the roots and stones in the ground in twos and threes in the places that have been cut down, and it seems that they really plan to cultivate the land outside the wall, and they are fighting a protracted war.

"I'll go! It's a bit of a hassle now! ”

Looking at the farmers who were busy like bees in the distance, Li Rui couldn't help but rub his chin, judging from the other team of people by the river yesterday, it seems that the gap here seems to be one less than the team by the river.

Perhaps this also means that the team of peasants and supervisors sent over there today may be larger than that of this side.

In addition, the place where they fought in the air at that time was ten or twenty kilometers away from here, and the range that could be heard in this vicinity was estimated to be no more than ten kilometers, so this meant that there were actually two such strongholds within a small radius of ten kilometers.

If we extrapolate by analogy, on the southern defense line that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of strongholds of the same scale as the one in front of you, or even larger!

Moreover, if they were all so steady and steady, and the door did not go out, it would be impossible for Li Rui to take the initiative to clean up alone.

But!

If you send planes to bomb it, not to mention the flying monsters in the air that are flying fast and agile and can take the initiative to attack.

Even if those guys lie honestly in their nests and don't come out to find trouble with airplanes, you have to first come to low-altitude reconnaissance and then high-altitude bombing, and if you don't make two or three hundred sorties a day, it is impossible to be busy.

However, as far as the southern defense line is concerned, the level of combat readiness that has not gone through a major war for hundreds of years, although it has recently improved, there are still only about two dozen helicopter gunships and a dozen jet planes, and it is already laborious enough to kill the blocking of flying monsters, let alone carry out long-range air strikes.

Moreover, even if some planes were sent over and blew up these broken wooden fences, it would not actually have much effect, at most it would only kill a few peasants and delay the progress of their construction of the city.

For those armored monsters that are truly threatening,

Unless they are directly hit by a missile, otherwise, it is impossible to cause much damage to them by means of shock waves and shrapnel.

However, it doesn't matter if they are seriously injured, didn't they bring a lot of peasants with them?

You only need to grab two and suck them at that time, and these monsters will be able to resurrect with full blood immediately, anyway, as long as they are not killed on the spot, they can't be life-threatening at all.

Thinking of this, Li Rui suddenly understood a little bit of the good calculation of these magical creatures, bringing some farmers over is simply killing two birds with one stone, when there is nothing to do, you can help cut down trees and repair walls, help them expand rapidly, and when there is something, you can also use local materials and grab two as blood bottle supplements.

If the peasants consume too much in the future, they can still catch some of the native inhabitants of this world to replenish on the spot, and they themselves do not consume food, they only need to absorb the life energy of living beings, and they can completely feed the war with war.

As long as they go all the way down in the future, they will have endless energy replenishment, and then at the cost of these energies, they will continue to consume the strength of the human defense line until they break through, as long as they snowball smoothly to a certain extent, there is no longer a protected area in this world that can stop them.

Even Li Rui maliciously opened his mind further, imagining the conditions for creating these magical creatures: these things were definitely not naturally generated, they were definitely artificially made, or they copied themselves by themselves.

And its production process and process are estimated to require a large number of creatures as sacrifices, and then after a strange or bloody and violent ritual, it can finally produce such a guy with rough skin and thick flesh.

Perhaps that magical golden powder would have been used in it, otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve their unbelievable hardness with just a little ordinary metal!
