Chapter 67: The Kobold Commander
Under the witness of Zhang Sheng and Yan Guo's mother, an apprenticeship ceremony with special significance was completed, and it was not until this time that Zhang Sheng finally knew General Mu's full name.
Mu Zhiqu!
This name made Zhang Sheng think of Zhou Yizhong's "He Tianzhiqu" for the first time.
At the end of the ceremony, Mu Zhiqu gave Yan Guo a piece of moire warm jade that he was wearing as a meeting gift. The moire patterns on the jade pendant are all completed by spiritual energy etching through yang engraving, which can play a role in assisting cultivation and accelerating physical recovery.
Yan Guo's growth path can be regarded as a smooth road, but there is no change in the current war.
The scouting airriders reported that the demon army was building large ships, and had abandoned the plan to cross the lake, and placed the resource collection in the mountains on the north shore.
The Abyss Demon Army has a very contradictory point, they don't know how to farm, and the logistical pressure is also great, but they don't accept prisoners, they don't accept slaves to farm for them to develop, they just blindly kill, they don't know what their purpose is, and they don't know what their military rations are made of.
After each mass killing, a solemn sacrifice is held, and the sacrifice points to the abyss, but the passage of the abyss is one-way, and it is impossible to go to the abyss to find out the secrets.
In this mode of behavior, the Abyss Demon Army will continue to divide its forces and will not stay in one place for a long time, except for garrisoning the Abyss Passage.
The season and terrain also brought inconvenience to the demon army, in this case, changing the sky is not very useful, the precipitation of the whole rainy season is fixed, you disperse today's rain clouds, it will accumulate until tomorrow, continue to disperse, continue to accumulate, not three or five seven days, it will fall with greater rain.
It's okay to use this method for offense, but if you want to use it for development, you must be drowned!
The reconnaissance air cavalry only dared to wait and see from afar when the sky was clear, and the information they could get was limited, and they were powerless to stop the spread of the demon army.
The information was gathered one after another, which made Mu Zhiqu, who had just found a good apprentice, not very good, Zhenyuan City was too far away from here, there was no direct waterway route, once he missed the initial sealing opportunity, it would be the result of the moment.
The blockbuster plan failed, and it would take nearly half a month for reinforcements to arrive, and with the current scale of the demon army, even if the reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult to fight quickly, but the military order of the governor had already been issued.
Zhang Sheng received a letter from Shan Chen in the form of a letter eagle, affected by the abyss riot, the coalition plan was forced to shelve, in order to avoid the danger of the abyss, all the rebels moved to the mountains at higher altitudes, and he himself took the men and horses to the snow mountain base established by Lu Qing according to the map given by Zhang Sheng.
The plan was completely disrupted, and Zhang Sheng at this time was more eager than General Mu to seal the abyss as soon as possible!
Zhang Sheng knew that there was a way to convert the abyss soldiers into labor after they were captured, not to refine corpses, but through the [charm] of historical beauties!
The [charm] of historical beauties is regardless of race or gender, especially the four beauties, in addition to the title of historical beauty, there will also be one of [Sinking Fish], [Falling Goose], [Closed Moon], and [Shy Flower], which can achieve a similar effect of brainwashing. By using this method, its own will will will be washed away, so it can no longer be used as a pawn, but only as a laborer, shining on the construction site or in the mine.
Historical beauty has a similar effect, but it is not reflected in charm. And as long as you collect all the historical beauties and men, you can also get a special title for the territory.
But if you want to be a historical beauty, you can only use the star stone to fight your face, compared with the military generals of Wenchen, the proportion of beauties and men is too low, lower than that of Baigong.
Since he is powerless to change the status quo, he will find a way to prevent development from stagnating, and for this reason, Zhang Sheng will go to General Mu as a dog-headed military advisor as soon as he has time.
The lack of strength made them powerless to prevent the demon army from developing water power, so they could only temporarily turn to the defensive, preparing to intercept the demon fleet going upstream, and successfully repelled several small-scale attempts by the demon army.
Zhang Sheng's primary version of "Abyss Illustrated" has been produced and posted to the main section of the Great Wilderness on the forum, but it has been viewed by millions in just a few days, and it has been directly popularized, and the effect is better than expected. But......
"Ben will have to leave immediately, and the five ships and soldiers will stay behind to assist you in your defense."
Zhang Sheng took the latest military report handed over by General Mu, after the demon army built the first batch of fighting ships, it did not choose to go against the current to Jiaolong Village at the first time, but went down the river and directly ended the outpost of the expeditionary force.
What a sound!
At the beginning of the battle of crossing the lake, the five building ships went upstream, although they did not complete the plan to attack the demon army camp on the north shore, but they also exposed some problems, but they did not expect to be seized by the demon army.
The reinforcements failed to arrive, and the strength of the outpost was almost exhausted, which directly led to the destruction of the outpost by the demon army, the only remaining defenders were slaughtered, and all kinds of supplies were plundered.
If you can't make up for it by sealing the abyss rift after saying it, and lead to the destruction of an outpost, it will definitely be a stain that can't be washed away.
This made General Mu not in a hurry, he was originally a person who cherished feathers very much, not to mention that this might affect the status of his family's heir.
"General, don't worry!" Zhang Sheng hurriedly stopped Mu Zhiqu, who was about to leave with the remaining empty horse.
"The general's return like this can't change the result, and the demon army won't stay at the outpost for a long time, and by the time the general gathers the reinforcements and comes back, the building will be empty long ago."
"So what do you say?" Mu Zhiqu admitted that Zhang Sheng was telling the truth, he was just unwilling, and now that he thinks about it, he was somewhat pitted by the other party's letter for help sent to Zhenyuan City.
It was precisely because of that letter of request for help that the Governor gave him a military order to end the war here and transfer to the war within two months, after all, when the letter for help was delivered, the abyss rift here had not yet appeared Demon Army. His speed was fast enough, the air cavalry army, but it was still a step slower, and the demon army was expanding much faster than he expected.
This is pure bad luck!
"Does the general know about the Four Divine Towers of the Abyss?"
"What do you want to say?" The look of annoyance on Mu Zhiqu's face disappeared, and he stared at Zhang Sheng with a serious expression.
"With the current situation, even if the plan can be successfully completed in the future, the general's reputation will be damaged, even if it will not be punished, if it does not go well...... So there's a lot of room for error, no plan is perfect, and this is a good lesson. ”
General Mu must not be allowed to go like this, with his high-end combat power, the blocking battle on the lake can still be fought, as soon as he leaves, with the strength of Jiaolong Village, even if it is another five-story high-level building, it is impossible to block the soldiers of the abyss.
"It's better to just let the war go further!" At this moment, Zhang Sheng is like a seductive and depraved devil.
"The general should know very well that it is impossible for an abyss riot of this magnitude to shake the foundation of Zhenyuan City, so as long as there is an opportunity, the demon army will inevitably raise the Abyss Four Divine Towers to further stabilize the abyss rift and accelerate the progress of the transformation to the abyss channel."
"At that time, all this has nothing to do with the general, I can only say that the abyss rift here is extraordinary, where do I understand these in the territory of a heavenly dependent, it is because the previous letter for help was not written accurately enough, and it is not a crime of war! In such a battle, the general will be able to start from scratch, and each of your exploits will be magnified. ”
The Four Divine Towers of the Abyss, a special building of the Abyss Force, is also a symbol of the Abyss Force, and is a kind of Psionic Tower, which can use the abyssal breath at a deeper level and can be used as a part of the city defense, but the main role is to stabilize the abyssal rift or abyss passage and increase the teleportation force.
Every time there is an abyss riot, as long as the Four Divine Towers of the Abyss appears, it indicates the escalation of the war, and Mu Zhiqu naturally knows that he has seen it in the book "Chronicles of the Abyss" in his family's collection, and the Four Divine Towers of the Abyss have not appeared for decades, and he has not seen the real thing.
Mu Zhiqu glanced at Zhang Sheng strangely, yes, how could a Heavenly Dependent's territory understand this, after all, the Heavenly Dependent's impression is "ignorant" in everyone's impression.
"Then ...... Dragging? Mu Zhiqu acquiesced in Zhang Sheng's proposal, which was indeed beneficial to him.
Originally, Mu Zhiqu thought that this little lord was only good at bribery and bribery, but he didn't expect the other party to do something worse than the old fritters in the officialdom he was familiar with! Or is he, the heir of the family, who has gone through a whole set of elite education, too pure?
At a certain moment, Mu Zhiqu had self-doubt in his heart.
"It's actively preparing for war! At the moment, reinforcements have not arrived, we cannot afford to take the initiative, and the outpost is gone, and the reinforcements need to rebuild the ships, which will take time. Zhang Sheng said incomprehensibly.
It is also a helpless move to escalate the war, otherwise if General Mu chooses, he can only give up Jiaolong Village, and the distance between Lingshi Fort is also too close, and the two places cannot be saved, which is equivalent to making his hard work in the previous months completely wasted.
Although escalating the war will keep the territory in the vortex of war for longer, it is faster to keep the foundation than to start from scratch, and it is too difficult to move during the rainy season, and there will definitely be heavy casualties along the way. Moreover, with the continuous increase of Zhenyuan City's investment in this battlefield, Jiaolong Village, as one of the war zones, can also borrow the talents of Zhenyuan City to develop to a certain extent.
As the commander-in-chief, the dog-headed military advisor is not too much to use power for personal gain, right?
Even if you can't be blatant, you can increase the investment in fortifications! In order to support the expeditionary force, the territory will also send additional apprentice teams from all walks of life to assist the grandmaster master of the logistics battalion.
Some of the fortifications can be used as the basis for the future construction of the city, which can be regarded as preparing for the construction of the city in advance. Although General Mu had advised him not to get too close to the Great Lake without the Celestial Altar, this was not a problem after considering his opponents. As long as the abyssal riot here is resolved, the remaining enemies will only be rebels for the time being, and it is impossible to encounter high-intensity weather tactics.
"You're right, you're right!"
