Chapter 147: Discovery of Ore Division
The parasite's infection damage may seem like 10 points in 5 seconds, but it lasts for a long time and has a large range. In one minute, the damage can be as high as 120 points.
The transformed militia has only 260 points!
It's okay if it's just that, but the point is that if a parasite-infected unit dies during the continuous damage, the parasite skill will detonate again, which is equivalent to the general chain spread of the virus. If one of them doesn't get it right, all of Hu Simin's militia and infantry may be killed in the continuous damage.
This kind of insidious skill is too easy for people to be tricked.
Seeing that the militia's blood volume was getting lower and lower, Hu Siming had to transfer them separately. Moreover, after seeing that the priest of Mugor added parasites to the new remnant of blood, Hu Siming learned to behave. When it is bleeding, pull nearby units away and hand them over to the Arrow Tower for the final kill. In this way, even if the dead unit explodes, it will only affect the air.
Even if they learned to be smart after only suffering a single loss, Hu Siming's militia still suffered great losses.
The Militia's transformation lasts for one minute, the same duration as the Parasite. Originally, the two militias with low HP had hope of surviving before the transformation was over. As soon as the transformation ended, the upper limit of 40 health points was lost out of thin air, and the two peasants could no longer withstand the continuous damage, and exploded before the parasite status disappeared.
Fortunately, Hu Siming noticed this and was distracted and pulled them apart, otherwise the serial infection would continue, and there would be a danger of complete collapse.
At this time, it would be nice to have a pastor.
The difficulty of the situation made Hu Siming miss the mage class in the mysterious holy land more and more. If he had two priests now, and a steady stream of healing, it was possible that none of the units damaged in the previous battle would die. Thinking of this, he made up his mind that after blocking this wave of attacks, he must build a mysterious holy place as soon as possible.
However, it is necessary to hold on to this wave first.
As the militia retreated, the pressure on the three infantry suddenly increased, and the HP began to decline at an accelerated rate. After the priest Mugor called the amphibious hunters to help, Hu Simin himself entered a dangerous situation. After gauging the situation, he turned back with a heroic charge, retreated back into the base with his infantry, and then purchased the scroll again, and then regained the battle first.
In this way, the entire pressure of the fish-people becomes a few defense towers.
Although there are farmers repairing it, the siege attack of the two giant turtles is still faster than repairing. Only two musketeers were left to pin down behind the tower, which was simply not enough to delay the fishmen's attack. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the tower is breached. On the other hand, the two giant turtles, after several treatments, are still in a safe place.
"These classes of the Fishman Tribe are too strong!"
Looking at the damage of the defensive arrow tower, Hu Siming couldn't help but curse in his heart. But I have to admit that the angle of attack chosen by the Mugol priest is too good. If it was concentrated in the center to break through, the cross salvo of the five arrow towers, even if the giant turtle was strong in defense, would have killed it long ago. But now, the two giant turtles broke through the weak point on the far right, and only withstood the attacks of two arrow towers and one mysterious tower, supplemented by healing water mist, and the support time was much longer.
The shape shì looks a little bad.
However, Hu Siming did not fail to find a breakthrough, that is, the magic value of the priest Mugor!
The reason why the second wave of the fish-people's attack was able to cause such a big trouble was mainly due to the healing support of the Mugor priests. The giant turtle's own health regeneration speed is limited, and without healing, it is impossible for these two large men to continuously resist the output of the Arrow Tower and the Musketeer. In the previous confrontation, the continuous healing and two parasites had drained the magic of the Mugol priests. If a non-hero unit doesn't have skills such as a brilliant aura, the natural recovery speed of mana is still very slow.
This gave Hu Simin an opportunity to take advantage of.
When the effect of the scroll was over and Hu Siming and his infantry units were back in health, he rejoined the battlefield with his squad. With the freshly rested new force on one side and the demonless Mugol priest on the other, it was much easier for Hu Siming to fight. Although the arrow tower on the far right was eventually breached by the giant turtle, with one of the turtles being shot, the remaining dragon turtle and the remaining amphibian monster fish were no longer enough to storm the base.
Blood Witch with no mana can also rely on the passive skill Disease Cloud to continuously poison nearby enemies. The Mugor priest without blue is really just a high-ranking infantryman. After the amphibious monsters under his command were killed one by one, the lone man was not spared in the end, and was chased by Hu Siming for hundreds of meters and killed with a sword.
As he struggled to block the attack of the Fish-Man Tribe in two times, the completion of the entire campaign also climbed to 18%!
The top five in the entire class ranking, like Liang Wu and Jiang Yuanhao, have not yet started their progress, and they are all above 15%. For the ten students in the back, the completion of the battle has already been opened. Even if it can barely hold the current attack, it is estimated that the base will be turned upside down and suffer heavy losses. Based on this, Hu Siming predicted that the next wave of fish-man attacks would once again eliminate a large number of students.
Having said that, it seems that Campaign Objective 1 only requires that the first three waves of attacks be held. As long as they can hold on to one more wave, even if they lose in the end, they will at least be able to retain their current results and qualify for the official pre-rehearsal rankings. Of course, those who really pursue higher rewards and agent qualifications must continue to fight.
Because the completion rate of 18% briefly climbed to the first place in the class, Hu Siming also had more motivation in his heart. Although his base suffered a lot of losses in the attack just now, an arrow tower was destroyed, two peasants and an infantry were also lost, and the durability of other buildings was also knocked out a lot, but after all, it was defended, and the overall loss was not enough to break the muscles and bones.
The only thing that disturbed him was that the development of the base had been delayed again.
Although he did not mobilize all the peasants during the war, timber gathering was completely halted during this time. Most of the collected ore will also be used to repair buildings, rebuild arrow towers, and train farmers again. When all this was done, Hu Siming found that in the entire second wave of fish-man attacks, the overall development of the base was almost stagnant.
Perhaps for most of the students, it would be good to be able to ensure that the base does not regress. However, Hu Siming, who has a higher spirit, obviously cannot accept the current situation.
Every time the fish-men attack, the development of the base has to be stopped. If this continues, when will he be able to build a strong enough army to counterattack the fish-man tribe? What's more, in the second wave of the fish-man attack, Hu Siming has clearly felt the power of the fish-man tribe to dispatch middle-level troops. In the next follow-up attacks, it is conceivable that there will definitely be more advanced troops. Even if you build a mysterious holy place and train a team of mage troops, you may not be able to stop it.
There must be more resources, more troops, and a strong wave to defeat the Fish-Man tribe in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it will only repeat the previous two scenarios: the fishmen keep attacking, and Hu Siming keeps defending. Maybe you can successfully defend it every time, and the peace period after that has developed a little, but you have never been able to piece together a strong enough army to complete the campaign objective 3!
Find a way to change that.
Previously, Hu Siming sent infantry to open maps outside, just to find out if there were any map resources that could be used, such as mercenary camps or even mining points. However, the infantry was eventually attacked by the Fish-Man Brigade and was killed outright, and the mission to explore the map was aborted after only a third of the way. Now, with the second wave of the Fishmen's offensive over, Hu Siming is ready to put the matter back on the agenda.
Moreover, it is necessary to do your best!
The drawbacks of sending infantry to search have already been demonstrated at the first attempt. Not only is it slow, but it can also be killed by the chance encounter of monsters and fishmen, and sometimes it is limited by the terrain. But now that there is a mysterious treasure room, Hu Siming has a better alternative, that is, the old friend who used it in the second unified examination - the scout crow.
It appeared in the rehearsal battle, and the price is also not very high, requiring only 150 units of crystal ore.
The resources previously reserved have almost been spent in defense, and the two recovery scrolls account for the lion's share. Even if five farmers are mining at full capacity, they will not be able to raise money in a short time. Luckily, the Fish-Man Tribe's boss monster drops a resource chest when it dies. Although the number varies, after picking up the resource boxes of the Blood Witch and the Priest of Mugor, Hu Simin has obtained a total of 700 units of crystal ore.
This specially set drop balances the overall difficulty of the rehearsal battle. Although the difficulty of defense is high, once you defend it, you will have additional resource income, which can basically make up for the losses caused by high difficulty. This extra 700 units of crystal ore out of thin air made Hu Siming's economic situation greatly better.
He immediately bought the Scout Raven and let it continue its search along the map that the infantry had pioneered earlier.
At the same time, the newly trained peasants took on the previous war damage and began to continue collecting timber. Due to the upgraded collection efficiency and the good location of the logging site chosen by Hu Siming, the speed of collection is quite fast. Almost as soon as the traces of the second wave of attacks were erased, Hu Siming scraped together enough timber resources.
He couldn't wait, and immediately began to build the mysterious holy land.
This important building took quite a long time to build. Considering that there should be some time before the third wave of the fish-man's attack, Hu Siming did not choose to gather more farmers to speed up the construction, but waited patiently in order to save resources. It was at this time that the scout crow crossed the pond previously discovered by the infantry and continued its exploration to the northwest. Between a grove of concave trees and a cliff layer more than 20 meters high, Hu Siming shared his vision and saw a familiar, vivid red.
"That's?"
The moment he first saw it, Hu Siming hadn't reacted yet. After the school emblem automatically recorded the map information of the reconnaissance crow's flight, he turned around again to check it, only to find that the reconnaissance crow had really found a second true red crystal mine in the north-northwest direction of the center of this small island!
The distance from the current location of the base is about 3 miles in a straight line!
