And Guo Dafu is now recruiting militiamen, in fact, he is based on those pioneers and people. As a result, when he really started to select those villagers, he found that these villagers were in poor physical condition.

Because it is difficult to get out of the village blocked by the fierce beasts, these villagers are very short of all kinds of materials, especially food, so many of them are skinny, and there are few who can meet the standards of the pioneers' people's combat power.

You must know that the stronger male strength of those pioneers and folk husbands has reached ten points high! And even if these villagers are in good physical condition, their strength value is only about seven points on average.

In desperation, Guo Dafu could only lower the standard of conscription again and again, and finally selected 200 young men to be included in the militia ranks.

And Guo Dafu originally had 160 pioneer people, because his stronghold had reached the standard of a third-level village before, so yesterday he added 30 pioneer people for free, so that he now has a total of 190 pioneer people, plus these young people who have just joined, Guo Dafu's militia team has now expanded to as many as 390.

In order to equip these recruits with weapons, Guo Dafu spent more than 1,000 points, and fortunately, Guo Dafu had accumulated a lot of points before, otherwise this wave alone would have bankrupted him.

Guo Dafu now only has more than 2,000 points left, and a large part of these points are ready to be exchanged for junior pioneer warriors in the future battle with the steel-toothed rat king. After all, his militia are all crossbowmen, and they belong to ranged soldiers, if there is not a sufficient number of melee soldiers in front to resist, then these crossbowmen will have no chance to output!

In order to let these recruits form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Guo Dafu specially transferred those pioneers who followed him to serve as grassroots officers of these recruits, so that the training of these recruits could be on the right track as soon as possible.

Guo Dafu's troop structure in the militia is also very simple and straightforward, among which the most basic ten-person squad, a squad will be equipped with a squad leader and a deputy captain. Five squads form a squadron with a squadron leader and two vice-captains. Finally, four squadrons form a brigade with a group leader and two deputy captains.

Now there are a total of 390 militiamen in Guo Dafu's hands, which is close to two brigades, and there are indeed a lot of grassroots officers needed. For example, Guo Yi and the others, who were given their names by Guo Dafu, were already barely able to hold the position of captain.

While Guo Dafu and Liu Lin were busy presiding over the training of the militia, Dr. Zhang's research had already made progress.

The other party has built a small airship and is already preparing for a liftoff test.

This is a simple airship that can only carry one person, mainly used to test the sealing performance of the airbag, it seems that Dr. Zhang is actually quite cautious in doing things, and he did not take any risks.

When this simple little airship slowly rose to the top of the stronghold, Guo Dafu and the others were all shocked by the efficiency of the other party.

After lifting the airship to an altitude of about 100 meters and suspending it for ten minutes, Dr. Zhang, who personally conducted the test work, also confirmed that the sealing performance of the airbag did meet expectations, and then began to control the airship, preparing to lower it to the ground.

However, just as Dr. Zhang was controlling the airship and just began to reduce its flight altitude, a cyan figure suddenly burst out as fast as lightning and attacked him.

Fortunately, Dr. Zhang was more alert, and when he realized that the killing force was locking on him, he immediately took out a steel shield and blocked it in front of him.

Dr. Zhang's steel shield had just been taken out, and he only heard a loud sound of the bell, as if a big knife had slashed at it, and Dr. Zhang's right hand holding the shield was directly cracked, and then the steel shield was split and flew out.

Guo Dafu, who had been paying attention after the other party took off in the airship, finally saw what the thing that attacked Dr. Zhang was at this time, it was actually a mantis beast about one meter six in length and emerald green all over his body.

The pair of sickle-shaped forelimbs of this mantis beast are particularly developed, the length is almost as long as its body, and the blade also reflects the metallic luster, which is extremely sharp at a glance, just now he can see very clearly, Dr. Zhang's steel shield has been chopped by the other party with a deep knife mark. If this is slashed on a person, it is likely to be cut in half.

Seeing that this mantis beast was about to shoot at Dr. Zhang again, Guo Dafu hurriedly took out his war bow, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at this mantis beast.

Almost at the same time as Guo Dafu made a move, the pioneer archers under his command and a few clever pioneer folk men raised their bows and winch crossbows one after another, and shot arrows at the mantis beast.

The mantis beast, which sensed the sound of arrows breaking through the air below, had to stop attacking Dr. Zhang, and then brandished a pair of sickle-like forelimbs and laid an impermeable knife net to protect its body, after all, the lower abdomen of its body is relatively fragile, and once it is hit by an arrow, it will definitely not feel good.

Several other arrows were waved by this mantis beast and easily knocked away, but the arrow shot by Guo Dafu was extremely powerful, when this mantis beast also wanted to knock it away like other arrows, but he only felt a sharp shock in his knife arm at the moment of contact with the arrow, and then a stinging pain came from the knife arm.

The mantis beast looked at it and found that on its right arm, the emerald green exoskeleton was actually shattered by the arrow, and streams of dark green blood were gushing out from the breach.

When Guo Dafu saw that the arrow he shot hit the other party, he felt refreshed, and immediately pulled out an arrow again and prepared to shoot.

However, the mantis beast was not stupid, and after glaring at Guo Dafu viciously with its huge compound eyes like emeralds, it flapped the two pairs of wings behind it, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as it did when it came.

"Good guy, this agility attribute is definitely above ninety points! Fortunately, the defense and strength are a little worse, otherwise it would not be so easy to repel this big mantis! Guo Dafu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the terrifying speed shown by the other party.

Dr. Zhang, who had walked before the ghost gate, didn't dare to stay in the air any longer, ignoring the still bleeding tiger's mouth, and hurriedly controlled the airship to land on the ground.

And Qingzhou found Guo Dafu at this time and told the other party a not very good news.

According to the experience of the old man Qing Zhou, in those territories with the existence of transcendent beasts, there is generally no existence that is close to transcendental strength and can threaten the owner of the territory.

Just like Guo Dafu, when they faced a monster attack before, in addition to the black-scaled earth dragon beast, the most powerful fierce beast they encountered, that is, a bone spur wild dog elite whose strength barely reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow.

And the mantis beast that just appeared, the agility attribute is definitely above ninety points, this kind of fierce beast that is not far from breaking through the extraordinary, generally speaking, will only live in the buffer zone between the territories of those extraordinary fierce beasts, in that kind of three-regardless zone, those extraordinary fierce beasts generally do not patronize in order to avoid stimulating their opponents, so these places have become a paradise for those powerful beasts that are relatively strong and not far from breaking through the extraordinary.

And now that this mantis beast dares to appear here uncharacteristically, it proves that the smell that the black-scaled dragon beast originally left on the edge of the territory has begun to dissipate, and some powerful beasts that have guessed that it may have fallen will enter it one after another to investigate and probe.

After a short battle just now, Guo Dafu can be regarded as seeing that in the entire territory, except for him, once other people encounter a fierce beast of this level, there is no possibility of survival at all, so in the future, the scale of those teams that go out to patrol must be expanded again, so even if they can't beat the other party, it is no problem to hold on for a while and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In order to facilitate the search for help after these patrol teams were attacked, Guo Dafu called Zhao Jie and asked the other party to make a batch of arrows for the archers in the patrol team.

When fired, these arrows emit a loud, piercing sound that can be heard even from several kilometers away.

And just when Guo Dafu watched Zhao Jie just make a sound arrow as a sample, Su Li also hurried back with Gongsun Lie, obviously the two of them also noticed the scene of the mantis beast attacking Dr. Zhang just now.

To Guo Dafu's surprise, Gongsun Lie, this kid, actually tamed a fierce beast in such a short time, of course it is not a six-legged iron hoof, that thing is powerful and stubborn, but it is not so easy to tame.

Gongsun Lie, this kid tamed, is actually a bone spur wild dog, this bone spur wild dog seems to have fought with other fierce beasts not long ago, several bone spurs on the back are broken, there are several deep bone claw marks on the body, one of the front legs seems to be not lightly injured, and he walks a little limp.

Guo Dafu looked at the scarred bone spur wild dog and asked Gongsun Lie, "Where did you pick this thing up?" Can this leg still be raised? ”

Facing Guo Dafu's inquiry, Gongsun Lie stroked the dog's head and replied: "This is Xiao Hei, I feel quite fate with it, I just went out today and secretly followed behind us, I saw that it looked pitiful, so I tried to accept it, but I didn't expect it to succeed all of a sudden!" ”

"Haha! It seems that this skull spur canine is not stupid! I knew that in its current state, it would be difficult to survive if it continued to be in the wild, so I found myself a master! You just keep it well! When the injury heals, it can help us track down a prey or something! After listening to Gongsun Lie's introduction, Guo Dafu commented with a smile.
