Chapter 260: Timing

Tan Jiazhai is a weak and medium-sized force on the border of the Yue Kingdom, and when the wave of the great development of the western Gobi is approaching, Tan Liangde, the head of the Tan family, also sent nearly 400,000 descendants into the western Gobi to prepare for a piece of the pie.

But in the western Gobi, where predators are rampant, the competitiveness of the Tan family is really not enough, and under the sweep of the major alliances of the three kingdoms and three factions, the Tan family hid in Tibet, and finally stayed in a wilderness near the Crypt Jedi, and began to build a tofu scum camp.

This kind of place is affected by the yin qi of the crypt, and the atmosphere is somewhat eerie, the sky is gray all day, and the PM2.5 is at least over 300. Therefore, the major forces are not very eye-catching.

With the intention of abandoning me, the Tan family took root in this place and owned a small city called "Xingudong", ready to slowly seek development.

The only threat to the city of "New Valley East" is the mummy from the Crypt Jedi.

This kind of necromantic evil that has never appeared in the Qingyun Continent moves slowly (it seems that the vast majority of necromantic clans are slow). The defense is super high, and the sword is difficult to hurt.

At the same time, the mummy's shroud is wound by itself, and the mummy's curse is also quite abrasive.

Basically, a warrior of the same level fights a mummy, and even if they can destroy the mummy, they will be infected with one or several curses or diseases.

Terran warriors don't like to deal with mummies. It is unknown how these monsters came into being, and it seems that they all came from the depths of the crypt, but no one has figured out how the walking and waddling mummy managed to escape through the cliffs tens of thousands of meters vertical from the crypt.

At the same time, after these monsters are destroyed, they leave nothing but a pile of rotten shrouds, and their torso like dry wood will turn into a puddle of gray sand.

The only fortunate thing is that the mummies that wander the farther reaches of the Jedi Crypt are scarce. The attack of three or five mummies on the eastern city of Xingu caused very few casualties, and it was not taken seriously by the city lord Tan Liangpin.

Especially in winter, there are no more mummies, and Tan Liangpin doesn't care about this little threat.

After a slightly cold and quiet winter, ushering in a warm and vibrant spring, Tan Liangpin comfortably poured a pot of wine in his small courtyard and put two plates of peanut beef on the table.

The old farmers of the clan have found several crops suitable for growing in the brown and red sandstone, and the Tan family is vigorously cultivating the land to take advantage of the abundant spring rain to catch up with the crops. By the end of summer there will be a good harvest.

There are no enemy forces around you, and everything is hopeful. Tan Liangpin squinted slightly, and even dreamed of becoming an independent Cypriot ethnic group, a small country and a widow, and chickens and dogs did not get along with each other. It's a pleasure.

Suddenly, his subordinate colonel rushed wildly, plunged to the ground, and even knocked over Tan Liangpin's wine table, spilling wine and food all over the ground.

Tan Liangpin was about to shoot a case and was furious, but found that he had no case to shoot.

At this time, the little colonel had already preemptively shouted: "Dashuai! A large number of mummies appeared in the west, rushing towards the eastern city of Xingu. Please, Captain!"

"How many are there? dozens, or hundreds?" Tan Liangpin frowned slightly, unimpressed by the school's fuss.

"I don't know, the black pressure is out of sight, maybe no less than 100,000. ”

Tan Liangpin stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "How can there be so many? Damn!"

"Hurry up and gather all the men, hurry up and call back all the people who are working in the countryside outside, hurry up and prepare bows, crossbows, fire oil, and catapults, and quickly organize the women, children, old and weak to retreat to the east, and hurry up to ......."

The little school was confused: "So many hurryes, which one is the most hurried?"

On April 1, 2020 in the Great Chu calendar, a surprising number of mummies appeared around the Gobi Crypt in the west.

They spread like locusts in all directions. The Terran forces near the crypt were completely unable to resist. There are at least ten times more mummies than theirs.

Because there is only loose brown-red sandstone in the Gobi, there are no solid stones and trees, and all the Terran buildings have been bulldozed wherever the mummies passed.

There are also some rune seals and formation mages who try to strengthen the camp with runes and formation patterns. Helplessly, the mummy has its own curse, which can easily wear out the rune formation. Soon, Terran warriors will be left to fight the endless sea of mummies on the plains.

What is surprising is that after a winter, the number of mummies has not only become extremely terrifying, but the level has also increased rapidly, and a large number of high-level and even high-level heroes have begun to appear.

These mini-boss-like mummies have been greatly enhanced in all aspects, and what is more dangerous is that they have begun to have basic intelligence and can command low-level mummies.

The only good news is that the mummy has a glorious tradition of the Necromancy, and has always walked slowly except for the occasional outbreak during battle.

As long as the Terran warriors are not determined to defend themselves, most of them can run away. There were only a few medium forces that were overconfident, and they stayed up until they were surrounded by mummies, and then they were flattened by a **** and the whole army was annihilated.

In less than a month, the mummy's sphere of influence extended to a radius of 30,000 kilometers around the crypt, and continued to expand into the distance.

At this time, the forces of the Terran finally let go of their careful thinking and began to unite together to fight against this new mummy force with the full development of the Elephant Corpse Demon Clan's sphere of influence.

Some active tribes use ranged ranged attacks, but bows and arrows have little effect on the mummies. Although the mummy was covered in a shroud, it was surprisingly not easy to be ignited by rockets. Ranged troops have had little effect.

And with melee hand-to-hand combat, the effect is not very good. Mummies, unlike corpse demons, are not as obvious as soul flames. Only when their shroud is completely torn apart will the dried corpses inside turn into a pile of rubble.

Hardened bodies, powerful claws, eerie shrouds, and insidious curses. Relying on these sharp weapons, the battle loss ratio between the mummies and the Terran warriors has always remained below 1:1.

And what made the Terran collapse was that even if they paid a heavy price to destroy a large number of mummies, it would not take two days for the same or even more mummies to swarm again.

It seems that the number of mummies is endless. Some even suspect that these "killed" mummies did not actually die at all, but were reborn in the crypt through some mysterious form.

"Actually, mummies are not endless from time to time. In a certain hut in the fortress of Pubei Port, Gu Wen smiled darkly:

"If my speculation is not problematic, the core of these mummies is all the souls who died in the western Gobi. ”

"That big pit in the center of the Western Desert is one-third of the dead qi that the Corpse Demon Clan has fed back to the Qingyun Continent after the failed crossing explosion. ”

"Because of this entry and exit, the dead air has finally been localized, and the existence of mummies has been produced. Despite the fact that the death qi is only one-third of the original and there is no dimensional suppression, the development potential of the mummy is actually three times that of the corpse demon clan. ”

"There is no organization in this world like the Temple of Light that specializes in soul transcendence and necromantic purification. It's even more difficult to deal with mummies. ”

"If the Terrans allow the mummies to develop freely, they will face a more terrifying existence than the corpse demons in the future. ”

"So the best thing to do is to trap the mummies in a small area and cut off the supply of dead souls in the Western Desert. ”

"And all of this depends on a presence like a bastion. The big business of the Xilai clan is finally coming to the door. ”

Gu Wen touched the short mustache on his upper lip and sighed, "After three years, my return date is approaching." ”

A month later, on the border of the Terrans and the Mummies, a bright white hexagonal double-layered fortress appeared.

This fortress was ordered by the island power Milan from the Sile tribe. For the first order, Zhuo Zheng gave a half-price discount and sent craftsmen who had participated in the construction of Pubei Port to help build it.

For the anti-heaven performance of the Pubei Port Fort on the Nuwei Peninsula, not many people actually know about it. Milan still got the news from the Gandon. Most of the forces are not optimistic about this strange and fragile looking bastion.

But in the following month, this hexagonal double-decker fortress, known as the "Dingjun Fort", showed extraordinary combat power.

The 100,000 Milanese defenders stationed in the fortress wiped out nearly 300,000 mummies in a row at the cost of 20,000 people.

The Milanese were pleased to find that the number of mummies attacking in this direction was significantly reduced. With a wave of his hand, the Milan lord bought ten bastions in a row.

This time, the promotion period of Zhuo Zheng is over. A steel stone slab, which starts at 10 gold coins, costs 30 silver coins.

A lowest-end pentagonal fortress requires 2 million steel stone slabs, plus 10 million gold coins for the "fortress design patent fee" (who knows what this is?), and 5 million gold coins for construction.

A single-storey pentagonal fortress with a basic configuration is priced at 35 million, with an additional corner of 5 million and an additional 10 million for each additional layer.

Milan's 10 bastions cost a total of 500 million. But the Milanese felt that it was worth the money: on the 4,000-kilometer "human-wood" demarcation line defended by Milan, eleven bastions completely blocked the mummies from the borders.

The time of the bastion has come. (To be continued.) )
