Chapter Eighty-Seven: Enchantments and Mineral Resources
Bai Quanyu ordered the army to camp 1000 meters away from Neil Village to rest, and then ordered Bai Sheng to sneak into the village at night to investigate, and sent Mei Lin to hide outside the village to answer Bai Sheng, although Bai Sheng is a professional assassin, stealth reconnaissance, trap survey, secret completion of tasks and other aspects are very good, but her combat skills are particularly poor, and even slightly inferior to his combat ability when he fought against Watt, so she will always be taken care of, that is, whenever it starts to carry out the mission, there will be a hero with excellent combat level outside to take cover, sometimes this person is Pan Cheng, sometimes Mei Lin, sometimes it's him, but definitely not Sophik, that guy has too many weaknesses.
Bai Sheng relied on the cover of the night and the stealth ability of the night cloak, and soon walked around the village, her memory is very good, as long as she looks everywhere in the village, she can immediately remember the location of the whole village, the population layout and various characteristic buildings and mansions, and finally draw all the information of the village into a map.
In addition to surveying the village, she also has a task, which is to investigate whether there are heroic generals in this village, this task is quite important, because it will determine whether Bai Quanyu's army will adopt a strategy of soft attack or hard attack, Neil Village is the place where Bai Quanyu has positioned the establishment of the new White Spring City, so no matter what kind of price it takes, it will be taken at all costs.
As she dived deeper and deeper in the village, Mei Lin relied on the banshee in her palm to maintain the news of the two, and after a while, a good news came from the banshee in her palm, Bai Sheng replied: There are two town guard heroes in the village, but the two C-rank heroes who are not in the climate, only they take turns guarding the small village of more than 300 people day and night.
After a short time, Bai Sheng quickly jumped out of the village wall, and returned to Bai Quanjun's garrison after joining Mei Lin, Bai Quanyu and Pan Cheng had been waiting for them for a long time.
"My lord, there are two C-rank heroes in the village, and the more than 300 people who live there are also the families of those soldiers who have come from afar to adventure in the land of freedom, these old, weak, sick and disabled are not our army's opponents at all. Mei Lin reported.
"It's a little strange, though, that the village guards are so weak, how they can survive so long in the most treacherous part of the Free Lands. Bai Sheng asked.
Bai Quanyu thought about it for a while, and a possibility appeared in his mind, that is, the enchantment, it is possible that there is an ancient great enchantment buried in this village, and only for this reason can it be 100% guaranteed that these villagers can be attacked by any powerful demonic beasts from the outside world.
Others seem to have thought of the idea, the village is the rarest building in the world, because the establishment of any village requires a prerequisite, that is, the land to build the village must be covered with an altar spell or circle called the "Guardian Barrier", and without this guardian barrier on the turf then no one can build a village here.
Of course, if you plan to ignore the issue of enchantment, you can forcibly build a village that does not require enchantment, but within three days, I am afraid that all the people in the village will be eaten as food by the greedy demonic beasts. Because if a village does not have a guardian barrier, then this is equivalent to the most open place in the world - a gathering place for human flesh and food. The appearance of any Warcraft with a little ability will become their nightmare, and in addition to Warcraft, the natural enemies of humans are half-orcs and major races and tribes, and even sometimes humans themselves are also natural enemies of humans. Therefore, if there is no village guarding the barrier, it is equivalent to not having any protection for the villagers, so if there is a war in this village, then they will be attacked and wiped out overnight, so there is no reason for this kind of village to be established, which is why they only found one village after marching in the free land for more than half a year.
As for the guardian enchantment, there are two kinds of modern guardian enchantment and ancient guardian enchantment, the modern guardian enchantment is built by huge resources and technology, they are generally constructed by the enchantment division, its advantage is that it can be freely selected, free planting, although the modern enchantment seems simple, but the huge project is unprecedented, it is said that Kate the Great sent more than 100 enchantment divisions to build in order to forcibly establish a village with a modern enchantment on the border, and these elite enchantment divisions of the imperial capital took more than 8 years to complete Kate's task。 And in this process, they consumed more than 10,000 crystal resources and countless gold coins every day just for an enchantment, but it took 8 years for the establishment of this village, and you can imagine how much money the imperial capital had to spend to build a village.
Logue City's guardian enchantment is also a modern enchantment, and it is because of the guardian enchantment that his castle has survived in the endless sea of ghouls. It was the enchantment that helped him stop all the hundreds of millions of ghouls outside the city outside the city and not enter, so what they had to deal with was just a little bit of ghouls who were lucky enough to avoid the enchantment under their feet, and in the plague of ghouls, if Logg turned off its enchantment, then even if Bruce's skills were close to God, they would be torn to pieces by the ghouls in a few minutes, because no one in the world could defeat hundreds of millions of ghouls, not even legendary heroes.
And the ancient guardian enchantment, is a product of the ancient magic era, their output is very low, at that time there was such a sentence, that is, a thousand miles of a village is a miracle, a thousand miles of a town is extinct, if there is a city-state, then there is no doubt that a city-state will get a kingdom.
The ancient magic era was far less luxurious than it is now, there can be dozens of city-states in a kingdom, and in the previous era, as long as someone could get a city-state level enchantment, then he could directly establish his own magic kingdom on this city-state. One city and one country is a symbol of the ancient magic era, and on a continent hundreds of times larger than the present, there are only seven or eight magic kingdoms. In other words, the rarity of the ancient guardian enchantment has far surpassed the modern enchantment, and the ancient enchantment is not possible to make now, because now the only mage who can do the ancient magic enchantment is extinct, and the difficulty of making the ancient magic enchantment is said to be a thousand times higher than the current magic enchantment, so no one can make the ancient magic enchantment now.
"If there is a very strong enchantment in that village, that would explain it. Because of the opening of the enchantment, there is a space barrier that rejects 100% of the demonic beasts, so the stronger the enchantment, the more powerful the range of the demonic beasts it can reject, the Thunderbird said, in the swamp near this village, there is a hidden demonic beast that can easily destroy our entire army, including it, if I guess correctly, the guardian enchantment of this village may be the ancient guardian enchantment left over from the ancient magic era! Bai Quanyu's eyes lit up, and he was slightly excited.
Pan Cheng spoke: "My lord, if this is the case, then this village will be taken even more, but I don't know if the guardian barrier of this village has any effect on our army." If there is, then we may not be able to choke on this stone even if we have the ability to defy the sky. ”
"Between the same clan, the rejection effect of any enchantment will be greatly reduced, because the original purpose of the enchantment is only to resist foreign invasions, and among the same clan, the effect is actually very weak, but even so, if they really open the enchantment, then it can be easily blocked outside for us B-rank heroes, after all, the big monsters hidden in the swamp can be blocked by it, let alone us. Bai Quanyu said.
Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said, "My lord, Bai Sheng thinks that if such a strong barrier can survive for such a long time in the land of freedom, it must be indispensable for a huge amount of resources to support them, so I am sure that there must be a mysterious mineral resource hidden near here, and they will send villagers to dig there day and night." I think that as long as we can take this mineral resource land by means of unknowing, then we can sneak into the village and close the barrier under the guise of transporting resources by the villagers, and our army can easily take the village without forcibly attacking the barrier. ”
"Miss Bai Sheng's thoughts are the same as mine, my lord, leave the task of finding the location of the mineral resource land and pretending to be a villager to infiltrate the village and close the enchantment. Mei Lin said. Bai Quanyu agreed, there is indeed only Mei Lin and he is the most suitable candidate, but he has to command the army outside, so it is okay to leave this task to Mei Lin to perform.
"Then Mei Lin is in charge of the closure of the village enchantment, we use the banshee in the palm of the hand to contact at any time, and I found that any guardian enchantment should not be opened casually, because if you want to continue to open the enchantment, I'm afraid that even King Kate can be burned to bankruptcy, Mei Lin, your task is mainly to occupy the switch of the enchantment, and don't let anyone get close to the enchantment switch when we attack the village. ”
Bai Quanyu brought the army, and Bai Sheng Pancheng divided into three teams to surround the village, Bai Sheng's team has a powerful follower Sophie, so there is no need to worry about Bai Sheng's safety, but Mei Lin seems to have been looking for a long time nearby, and he has not found the location of the hidden mineral resources, in desperation, he had to beg the mineral prospector Sophik to help him, the dwarf has an extremely sensitive sense of smell to mineral resources at any time, after Sophie made a move, the mineral resources outside Neil Village were immediately found。
Mei Lin sent back a message with the banshee and told him that the mineral resource they found turned out to be a super rare high-level crystal cave, and this crystal cave can give this village a fixed output of 50 crystal resources per day (primary resource mineral land, 1 resource per day, intermediate resource mineral land, 10 resources per day, and 50 high-level mineral resources, the rarer the mineral resource land, the more terrible the daily output of resources. )
After Bai Quanyu learned that the crystal resource land turned out to be high-level, he was excited to jump out of the grass, the high-level resource land was placed in the previous Baiquan Territory, and the total number of seats occupied did not exceed 20, and the resource land above the high level in the territory of Tianlong was also only a handful, but he didn't expect that in such a free place, he would even find one, this joy was like eating dragon meat.
"Send a message to Pan Cheng, ask him to take the 30 soldiers of his headquarters to attack the resource area immediately, and after the battle, let him go in the resource field and garrison it, and don't come out if he is killed, remember. Bai Quanyu is confident that even if he is the only hero who attacks Neil Village, it will be no problem, and the most important thing now is that mineral resource land, which is something more valuable than a treasure, so he must take it into his own pocket.
As for why Pan Cheng should not come out after the fight, it is because if any mineral resource land changes hands, the original ghosts in the resource land will awaken and regain the resource land, so any mineral resource land must be guarded by someone inside at all times, and his own power flag must be planted to shock the ghosts, which is also something that can only be completed after he has become a lord and has a dripping flag.
In fact, originally there was only one professional soldier stationed in the minerals, but there were heroes in the village opposite, and there were so many demonic beasts wandering outside, so if Pancheng didn't guard it himself, I am afraid it would be really easy to be swept away by other forces or wandering demonic beasts. Because of this, he let Pan Cheng stay inside and watch it, because this will be the first stable pillar of his crystal resource output.
At this time, in fact, there was still some indelible gloom in his heart, and he felt that the situation in this village might be far from being as simple as Bai Sheng had investigated, because a person who dared to build a village to live next to an unknown and powerful demonic beast would definitely not be able to explain the secret of an ancient guardian enchantment.
