Chapter 139: The Invisible Contest
"Whoa!"
Clear water emerges from the desert spring and flows into the small lake in the center of the square.
Although this is a very common thing, it still attracts many LinkedIn heroes, soldiers, and craftsmen to watch, and more than one person holds this clear spring water and drinks it non-stop, as if it is a sweet wine.
Qin Ge is no exception.
Even he could proudly say that this was a small step for the Gale King, but it was a big step for the Fire of Life Kingdom from nothingness to reality.
Yes, this spring water has practical significance, Qin Ge put a total of 500 blue crystals into the desert spring, and 50,000 cubic meters of spring water appeared, which can not only form a two-meter-deep lake in the square, but also fill the canal in the city, as for the moat outside, it is not necessary for the time being.
Because now is still not the time for farming and development.
The most important thing for him at this stage is to go three hundred kilometers to the northeast and snatch the hematite back.
Hematite ingots are very useful.
At present, the magic sniper crossbows, magic crossbows, hunter-level siege crossbows, ranger feather arrows, and even the full set of equipment of the Storm Sword Master used in Qin Ge's army are all made of hematite ingots.
Although 150,000 units were snatched back before, 50,000 units were left for the Black Eyes camp, and the remaining 100,000 units of hematite ingots could only be used to craft 3,000 magic sniper crossbows, 100,000 magic crossbow arrows, 500,000 Ranger feather arrows, 500 red iron swords, 500 red iron long knives and 150 sets of storm sword master equipment.
Those master craftsmen had already hinted to Qin Ge more than once if they could snatch back the 50,000 units of hematite ingots in the hands of the black-eyed people.
Therefore, Qin Ge decided to really rob it.
And because of the sneak attack of the virus, Qin Ge specially left behind the super killing weapon Zhao Xin, as well as the female sword saint Changqin and the 78 storm sword saints in the Gale King City.
In addition, there are 12 heroes including Lu Xiaoxi, Blue Flame, Konoha and Fengqing, as well as 1,000 level 50 Silver Mist Ranger and 1,000 level 50 heavy crossbowmen, all of which are replaced with magic sniper crossbows.
In addition, Qin Ge also recruited an additional 3,000 Storm Swordsmen, 3,000 Silver Mist Rangers, 5,000 Sword Cavalry, 10,000 Heavy Crossbowmen, and 50 Grey Owl Knights to be placed in the Gale King City.
If the virus really sent a large army to steal the city, then Qin Ge would go out and abandon the human territory, as for the territory of the black-eyed people, those black-eyed miners had already built a strong fortress under the leadership of the black-eyed prophet, and it was believed that the virus would be difficult to break through for a while.
With such an arrangement, Qin Ge dared to lead his troops to the battle.
His army includes 3,000 Predator Knights, 5,000 elite sword cavalry at level 35 and above, 2,000 Silver Mist Ranger at level 50, 2,000 heavy crossbowmen at level 50, and 50 Greylord Knights under the command of Yu Yue.
In addition, he also brought Roland, Mountain Eagle, Dewey, Zhang Cheng, Zhao Guang and other heroic commanders who were better at commanding troops.
To this end, he also met the special requirements of Zhang Cheng and Zhao Guang, recruited 3,000 level 9 human spearmen for Zhang Cheng, and recruited 3,000 level 9 human spearmen for Zhao Guang, anyway, the recruitment ratio of one to ten only cost him 600 blue crystals.
However, Dewey was very realistic, and asked Qin Ge for 1,000 gray-eared heavy infantry, 500 storm swordsmen, 500 sword cavalry, and 1,000 gray-eared heavy crossbowmen.
Because at this stage, especially the emergence of red crystal-level heroes, the level of war has been raised.
Gray-eared soldiers have to be promoted to level 30 before they can form combat effectiveness, human soldiers have to rise to level 35 in one breath to form combat effectiveness, if you want to become the main force on the battlefield, you must have to be above level 40, if you want to form an advantage to crush, you have to rise to level 45, to level 50.
However, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Guang's six thousand human soldiers, Qin Ge planned to let them be porters, so it didn't matter.
And in the face of Dewey, this commander-level hero that Qin Ge is very optimistic about.
Naturally, he was favored.
Directly recruited 2,000 Grey-Eared Heavy Infantry, 2,000 Gray-Eared Pikemen, 2,000 Storm Swordsmen, 1,000 Silver Mist Rangers, 2,000 Crossbowmen, and 1,000 Knife Cavalry.
Counting the 691 veterans who existed before Dewey, the total strength of Dewey's heavy infantry battalion directly exceeded the 10,000 mark.
Moreover, Qin Ge is not stingy with elite soldiers, 2000 storm swordsmen, 1000 silver mist rangers, all of which are directly under Dewey, and the rest of the heroes can be seen from this point, even the cavalry commander Roland is envious, jealous and hateful.
But Dewey really has this qualification, and his heavy infantry battalion also has this qualification.
691 soldiers, all level 55, all elite soldiers at the captain level.
Therefore, although the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 recruits is not very strong, Qin Ge believes that under the command of Dewey and under the leadership of the 691 elite soldiers at the captain level, Dewey's heavy infantry battalion still has a very terrifying combat effectiveness.
And, really think he went to hematite?
The virus would certainly think so.
Even Qin Ge's subordinates, including commander-level heroes like Roland and Dewey, thought so.
However, Qin Ge's real purpose is not hematite, he wants to seize the initiative, lure out the army of the virus, and then destroy it, and then let Roland's cavalry cluster and Dewey's heavy infantry battalion continue to upgrade.
That's right, his plan is still to feed war with war.
As for whether the unknown will of the virus can see through his little abacus, that's another matter, if you have the ability, don't you take the hematite in your eyes?
I'm armed with 10,000 human level 9 miners.
Or if you have the ability, you can steal my lair, the Wind King City, but if there are less than five Red Crystal Heroes, you will be in vain.
Or you have the ability to fight me, but unfortunately there are less than ten red crystal heroes, and they are all floating clouds in front of Lao Tzu.
Moreover, I am not the only expeditionary force in this mysterious world, there is also an alliance between Kunlun City and the Tianxia Society, which is more powerful than me, and hundreds of expeditionary force marshals are converging.
Come on, see if you're clever enough to settle the world, or if your fists are harder than my head?
In the final analysis, after Qin Ge went through the previous series of bloody battles and raised all the ranks of the soldiers, his confidence was harder, his passive feeling was much less, and he was more confident in acting.
In this way, Qin Ge led the army to the expedition, and when he passed by Liu Cheng's territory, this guy said that he had to keep up, so he should follow.
After marching for half a day, the gray lord knight of the virus appeared in the sky, Qin Ge ignored it, still marched quickly, rested a few times halfway, and on the morning of the second day, successfully arrived at the hematite mine, but the virus soldiers here actually withdrew quietly.
It was unexpected, but it was expected by Qin Ge.
That virus will is very smart, since it is not the opponent of Qin Ge's army for the time being, it will definitely not leave Qin Ge any chance to upgrade the soldiers.
"It seems that I have really won a period of respite, and the virus has even given up this hematite mine, and it has not given me a chance to fight at all. However, once the virus solves the alliance between Kunlun City and the Tianxia Society, then what awaits me will be the most terrifying storm, and whether I can survive it depends on how well my kingdom develops during this time, and development is obviously not my strength. ”
Sighing, Qin Ge ordered the excavation, 10,000 human miners, plus 6,000 free porters, began a vigorous mining and smelting operation, and the other troops were responsible for vigilance, after all, in case Qin Ge guessed wrong, the invisible contest in his mind was all from his own imagination and speculation, so he had to consider the worst case first.
