Chapter 33: The Flames of War Will Burn

"The enemy's reconnaissance team has appeared, which means that its main army must not be far from here! These stinky rats really refuse to give us a chance to breathe! Zhao Jie sighed worriedly after inspecting the black leather armor on the nezumi warrior.

And Guo Dafu is not surprised by this, after all, he has accepted all the villagers of those villages, and it is strange that the steel-toothed rat king, who has been plotting for so many years for these people, will let him go.

Now he only hoped that the steel-toothed rat king would not make a move himself, otherwise even if Xiaoqing came to help, but under the fierce battle between the two such powerful transcendent beasts, the aftermath of the battle alone would probably be enough to raze his small stronghold to the ground.

Guo Dafu didn't know when the army sent by the Steel Tooth Rat King would attack, so he could only make his sentries more vigilant when they were sentry, and at the same time, he immediately spent 3,000 points to exchange for two hundred junior pioneer warriors, making the number of pioneer warriors under him reach as many as four hundred, of which the spear and shield soldiers were the most, with two hundred, the archers were the second, one hundred, and the last hundred sword and shield soldiers and halberd soldiers were half each.

After that, he spent more than 800 points and exchanged a large amount of ammunition such as crossbows, arrows, and javelins to accumulate in the stronghold. After all, according to Qing Zhou, there are a large number of rat soldiers under the command of the steel-toothed rat king, and the other party is likely to rely on the numerical advantage to surround them in the stronghold, and it is impossible to recover the crossbows and arrows that shoot out, so it is always right to stock up on more ammunition.

After spending so many points all of a sudden, Guo Dafu only had the last more than 1,000 points left in his hand, and he was ready to keep these points and not use them for the time being, after all, once the steel-toothed rats surrounded them, under the long-term fierce battle, the armor and weapons on the soldiers may be damaged, and they need to be repaired and replaced, which all need points. In addition, there is the most important grain and grass, once the city is besieged for a long time, they can't go out of the city to hunt, and all the food they eat will have to be exchanged for points, and the amount of food that more than 1,000 people have to consume every day is definitely a lot, Guo Dafu even feels that this more than 1,000 points is a little less! Prepare to go out and hunt some fierce beasts at the last minute to earn more points, and at the same time, make the meat of these fierce beasts into jerky and store them in the warehouse inside the stronghold.

In addition to these routine combat preparations, Guo Dafu is also ready to improve his combat strength.

And if you want to improve your own combat effectiveness, the best way is naturally to improve your cultivation, so the first thing Guo Dafu did was to send a large number of people to help Qingzhou collect enough medicinal materials, so that the other party could refine it into an innate pill as soon as possible.

In addition, in addition to their own cultivation, the impact of equipment on combat power is also very great, just like those junior pioneer warriors, their own strength has barely reached the acquired double strength, but relying on the excellent armor on the body and the weapon made of steel in the hand, it is enough to compete with the three or four fierce beasts of the day after tomorrow, and if you fight in a large-scale formation, the powerful beasts of the eight or nine strength of the day after tomorrow may also have to be hated in front of the battle.

Guo Dafu had asked Zhao Jie to help him build armor and weapons before, but Guo Dafu went over today to see the progress, but he was very dissatisfied, according to Zhao Jie, the scale armor of those extraordinary beasts was too hard, even harder than the best military steel, but it was very light, and I don't know what material it was made of.

In order to drill holes for these scales so that they can be made into fish scale armor, Zhao Jie himself spent a lot of points to exchange a bunch of tools from the mall, and now he can barely drill the scales of the black-scaled dragon beast, as for Xiaoqing's scales, it really can't be drilled.

As for the weapon, it is much easier to get than the armor, under the urging of Guo Dafu, Zhao Jie directly exchanged a steel rod more than three meters long from the mall, and then welded the two polished black-scaled dragon beast claws to make an oriental-style halberd.

The claws of this black-scaled dragon beast were all more than fifty centimeters long, and the longest one was more than seventy centimeters long, Zhao Jie polished the longest one into a spear head, and there was a grinding one about sixty centimeters long into a small branch of a long halberd. This oriental-style halberd can be said to be a combination of a spear and a ge, which can be stabbed like a spear, or pecked and cut the enemy like a ge.

Because the halberd body is a solid steel rod, the weight of this halberd is very amazing, reaching the level of more than 70 kilograms, and ordinary people are afraid that just lifting such a heavy halberd will make their hands tremble.

However, Guo Dafu easily picked it up with one hand, and then waved it in his hand from slow to fast, as the speed of the swing continued to increase, a burst of whirring wind sounded, and the air flow brought up when the weapon was waved blew the gravel and soil around Guo Dafu were blown up.

"Not bad! It's a bit heavy, but it's pretty handy! After Guo Dafu stopped waving, he looked at the halberd that was still trembling slightly in his hand, and commented with a smile.

In addition to this halberd, Zhao Jie also used the claws of two other black-scaled earth dragon beasts and added a handle to make two recurve battle knives. The halberd was more than three meters long, so it was naturally a weapon to be used immediately, and these two short knives could be used in foot combat.

After urging Zhao Jie to build a new battle armor as soon as possible, Guo Dafu rode his horse king fully armed, left the stronghold with Su Li, and went out to hunt fierce beasts, and by the way, he investigated the specific movements of the army of steel-toothed rats.

Speaking of which, Su Li's martial arts qualifications are also very good, and with the help of that powerful essence blood pill, he now has the cultivation of the acquired quadruple.

As for Zhao Jie and Gongsun Lie, their strength is still very low, among them, Zhao Jie is now cultivating to the second level of the day after tomorrow, Gongsun Lie and Dr. Zhang, the two newcomers, one has cultivated a ground-level exercise called "Agni Fire Divine Skill", and the other has chosen a "Xuanjian True Technique" to cultivate, and now they are only the day after tomorrow, and they are not even as high as those junior pioneer warriors!

After Guo Dafu and Su Li left the stronghold, they found that the fierce beasts along the way were almost extinct, and they ran far away without finding a few fierce beasts.

This is obviously a very abnormal thing, after all, these fierce beasts reproduce very quickly, especially those low-level fierce beasts, they are endless, usually they can catch a few of them with a drill in a bush, but now they are all gone.

It seems that these fierce beasts also have a premonition of danger, and have left this dangerous area that is about to be befallen by the flames of war.

"Be careful..." After Guo Dafu's eyes scanned a bush in front of him, he suddenly shouted.

Almost at the moment when Guo Dafu opened his mouth, two arrows suddenly shot out of the bushes and shot at Guo Dafu and Su Limian respectively.

The halberd in Guo Dafu's hand carried a strong wind and quickly swept out, snapping twice, and the two arrows were directly swept off by the halberd body made of stainless steel, and fell weakly to the ground.

Almost at the same time, Su Li picked up his bow and shot an armor-piercing heavy arrow at the bushes from which the arrow had shot.

As the arrow shot into the bushes, a muffled grunt of pain rang out, and two nezumi warriors in black leather armor and bows and arrows rushed out of them, quickly scurrying towards the denser trees behind them.

Guo Dafu knew that his current riding and archery skills were too poor, and it was difficult to hit the target at a distance of dozens of meters, so he did not rush to release the arrows, but rode the horse king he sat down and pursued the two fleeing nezumi warriors at full speed.

You must know that the group of horse kings that Guo Dafu sat on also had the strength of the nine layers of the day after tomorrow, plus they still had six legs, and the speed of galloping at full speed was really fast, and the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened within five or six meters.

At this time, Guo Dafu raised his war bow and shot an arrow at one of the nezumi warriors.

At such a close distance, if Guo Dafu still missed, then he should really find a piece of tofu to kill himself, only to hear a snort, the arrow hit the left shoulder of the nezumi warrior, and the powerful force directly pierced his shoulder, and then brought the nezumi warrior to the ground, and the arrow pierced the ground for more than ten centimeters, nailing the nezumi warrior to the ground.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the other rat warrior actually gave up on the fugitives, pulled out a short spear from his back, turned around and pounced towards Guo Dafu, and the extremely sharp bone spearhead stabbed fiercely at the horse king where Guo Dafu was sitting.

But as a horse king with nine acquired strengths, how could he be injured so easily by the other party! I saw that the horse king raised his two front legs, stepped out violently, and his right leg kicked the opponent's short spear first, directly kicking the short spear off, and then the left leg kicked out, and suddenly stepped on the opponent's chest, and in a burst of bone bursting, the chest of the rat warrior was visibly dented, and his body also flew up, spitting blood in his mouth, and flew out of more than ten meters, before he hit the trunk of a big tree and fell to the ground.

Obviously, after being kicked like this, this nezumi warrior will not survive.

At the same time, the steel-toothed rats who wanted to flee separately had also been shot to death by Su Li with an arrow, and they all had been shot to death, I have to say that Guo Dafu is really far inferior to the other party in terms of archery!

Coming to the nezumi warrior who was nailed to the ground by arrows, Guo Dafu held a halberd in his hand, pressed the tip of the sharp halberd against the opponent's neck, and asked, "Say, where is your army?" When to attack? ”

"Humph! If you don't want to get any information from me, Lord Rat will avenge us!" ”

After saying this, the rat-man warrior who had mutated to the point that black rat hair grew on his face glared at Guo Dafu with hatred, and after saying this, he actually bit off his tongue with a force, and a large stream of blood also gushed out of his mouth.
