Chapter 20: Base Upgrades
Although this amount of money is nothing in Catherine's eyes, but this time the goods are more urgent, so they will hire 3 A-level mercenary groups to escort the shortcut, and although the shortcut is very close, there are also many large caravans to go, but there are too many bandits here, and the average small caravan does not dare to take this mountain road, even the large caravans are also cautious.
And seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from Mingwei Town, there was no trace of people on the road, and the mercenaries began to pay attention to the surroundings, although they knew that they had hired an adventure team to assist in the reconnaissance and alarm this time, but for the mercenaries, their lives were still safer in their own hands.
Wang Chang is also very conscientious, although the team is moving slowly because of too many trucks, but Wang Chang is also careful to pay attention to the terrain detection on the small positioning map, and even if he is tired, he will only replace Qiao Wei or Uncle Carlson for a while, for the safety of this escort caravan, Wang Chang is very concerned.
After a few days of traveling, everyone has gone deep into the middle of this mountain road, and they have spent several days safely, without encountering any bandits, but there is still a long mountain road to cross this obstacle between the Luo Tian Empire and the Shang Alliance Empire, and after this mountain road, there is a large grassland to reach the border of the Shang Alliance Empire.
And this boundary is also quite close to the Warcraft Forest, and the route taken by everyone is also in the buffer zone where the Warcraft Forest and the human world intersect.
On this day, I don't know if it was because my team was moving fast, or because the team in front was moving slowly, the Welling caravan met the Whitson caravan in front.
"Miss Catherine, I didn't expect to meet you here, do you also want to go back to the Merchant Alliance Empire?
The Whitsons were not in the same city as the Wellings, but they were also next to each other, so they had some intersections, and when they saw the logo on Catherine's motorcade, they immediately recognized them.
"Mr. George, although it is safer to take this road with more people, your caravan is too big, and I think it won't be long before we can leave here and return to the Merchant Alliance Empire if we go alone. ”
Catherine looked at the caravan of Witteson at least 3 times more than her side, but she didn't want to go forward with them, although their escort team was also very large, and there was no doubt about safety, but it was better to return to the merchant alliance empire at that turtle speed than to take the safe official road, at least the official road would not be attacked by demonic beasts and bandits.
Although she didn't know what they were transporting, looking at the tightly wrapped truck and the people guarding around the truck, Catherine also knew that they were transporting some prohibited items this time.
The Imperial Alliance established by the Merchant Alliance Empire based on commerce is not a business that can be done, and some businesses that affect the development of the Merchant Alliance Empire are prohibited, although there are still some merchants who continue to do these transactions, but that is only done secretly, and the people of the Merchant Alliance Empire also know that this kind of transaction is repeatedly prohibited, and it can only be controlled to the minimum harm.
And looking at the performance of the Vitson caravan, if you form a group with them, it will definitely be harmful to yourself and not beneficial, and if something happens at that time, you will have to share the responsibility with him, who will tell you to team up with him, and you are in a hurry to return, it is impossible to be dragged down here by them.
Hearing Catherine's words, George was also very disappointed, but as a successful businessman, George's face did not change at all, and George also knew what Catherine was worried about, under Catherine's shrewd eyes, if she could not see that there was a problem with her goods, then the Welling family would have been swallowed up a long time ago.
But everyone knows it, so they can only continue this journey alone.
And the Whitson caravan also knew the prestige of the Welling caravan, and gave way for the people of the Welling caravan to advance first, after all, their feet were fast, and they could not block them in the middle of the mountain road that was not very large.
Watching the Welling caravan and the others slowly disappear ahead, the Whitson caravan also continued its journey.
Towards the end of the evening, the Welling caravan came to a place to settle down according to the planned route, this mountain road has been walked countless times, the foothold is well known to everyone, after arriving at the foothold, the Welling caravan began to set up the wagons, and then distributed the men to guard and began to prepare dinner.
Campfires were set up around the caravan, so that the whole caravan did not have to worry about the darkness affecting the safety of the upcoming night.
Wang Chang and the others followed Benson and the others to enjoy dinner by the largest bonfire in the middle of the team, and in addition to Catherine and the butler, there were only Benson and the leaders of the three major mercenary groups.
The reason why Wang Chang and the others were able to be here was also because of Benson's invitation, otherwise they could only find a place and eat casually like the mercenaries on the periphery.
Dinner is extremely sumptuous, Virgil, the leader of the Storm Bear Mercenary Group, also specially captured a stone porcupine back, the stone porcupine survival adaptability is too strong, and the reproductive ability is also strong, the meat quality is good, and it can often be encountered in the periphery of the Warcraft Forest, but there is no strength that cannot be caught, but is hunted by the stone porcupine.
However, the stone porcupine couldn't even stop Wang Chang's desert eagle, where would it be Virgil's opponent, and he was easily hunted back by Virgil.
And when everyone shared the roasted stone porcupine, Wang Chang got a hint from the mastermind of the red police.
"Commander, the base has been upgraded to level 2, and all buildings have been fully upgraded, as well as the infantry class Spitfire, Bomb Specialist, Medic, and Spy have been unlocked. The class level can be increased to 2 stars, and the strength will be increased in an all-round way after the star is upgraded. ”
The sudden hint made Wang Changleng pause, since he came here for nearly half a year, the base collected resources and upgraded it to level 2 in half a year, although the improvement of the base has greatly improved the strength of the base's troops, but the speed of this upgrade is too slow.
Moreover, Wang Chang now also knows that his base is in the buffer zone of the high-level Warcraft area and the mid-level Warcraft area, and the middle-level Warcraft is okay, and it can't resist the attack of the Steel Hellfire.
High-level Warcraft is different, if it is a high-level low-level Warcraft, Steel Hellfire can also kill it together, plus the Patriot missile and machine gun tower, it is more than enough to kill it.
But if there is a high-level, middle-level or even high-level, the base will be finished. However, at this time, the comprehensive upgrade of the base also let Wang Chang know that the strength of the base has increased significantly, and at the same time, the restrictions of the steel hellfire have been lifted somewhat.
"Mastermind, I'll take a look at the conditions for the infantry class to ascend to the stars, and at the same time, I'll also send some of the restrictions on the Iron Hellfire. Wang Chang gave instructions to the Red Alert mastermind through the small location map, and then the small location map began to send out two lists.
The first list shows the data of the 7 infantry classes that have been unlocked, from 1-star Pistols to 1-star Bomb Specialists, and their strength gradually increases from the beginner to the middle-level upper, but the characteristics of each class are different.
The Bomb Specialist can have his own explosives pack, which can take out an inexhaustible supply of various explosives, and these explosives are used to replenish the base resources, but in the face of the Spitfire, which is a step lower than his own attack power, he cannot resist the Spitfire's fast movement ability and flamethrower's attack power.
The flamethrower's attack is stronger than the machine gunner, but the range of the machine gunner is farther than the flamethrower, if the two meet, the machine gunner can kill the flamethrower, but after the flamethrower reaches a certain number, the collective use of the flamethrower can produce extremely fast damage to the building, but it is invincible in the siege, which is the ability that the machine gunner does not have.
The medical kit carried by the medic, like the bomb expert, can take out inexhaustible medical supplies, and these medical supplies also consume base resources, but there are no rescuers in either the Red Police Base or the Blue Spirit Adventure Team, and now getting the Medic can solve the problem of being seriously injured and unable to be treated in time.
And if you want to be promoted to the 2-star level, you have to increase it through the kill value, only after killing to a certain extent, the base will collect the blood crystals brought by the killing to increase the star of the class, of course, the medic does not belong to this ranks, as long as the medic treats people to a certain level, they can be upgraded to a star and strengthen their medical capabilities.
And these 7 major arms, if they cooperate well, according to their respective characteristics, they can form a powerful mercenary group.
Then Wang Chang looked at the data of the Steel Hellfire, the weapon system that the Steel Hellfire could use before was at least able to fight against high-level low-level demonic beasts, especially the arc light wave was able to achieve a high-level mid-level attack effect, and the base upgrade at this time made the steel Hellfire part of the restrictions lifted, allowing Wang Chang to see a series of improved data.
After the level 2 base, the overall data of the Steel Hellfire has been improved, the lowest level of attack in the weapon system has reached the level of the lower division rank, and the arc light wave has reached the attack power of the middle of the division level, especially the defense ability of the mecha has also been greatly improved, and the magnetic protective layer covered by the mecha has the defense power of the middle of the division rank.
With this layer of defense, bringing steel hellfire by yourself is already invincible among all A-rank mercenary groups. Unless it is a professional who surpasses the emperor, emperor, or even saint level of a master-level professional, it is not his opponent at all.
And these saint-level professionals almost don't come to be mercenaries, there are still some possibilities for the emperor rank in the SSS mercenary group, and the emperor rank has never heard of it, these people are monopolized by the major empires, and the benefits they get are too much stronger than working hard in the mercenary group.
