The natives also have such a thing as [Teleportation Array] in terms of magic, which also opened Li Li's eyes.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and count the battle damage.

Eleven of the [Corrupted Golem Cores] were destroyed, and 64 remained, and the average level rose to around 15.

[Corrupt Blade Mantis] killed 31 and left 99, but the average level has increased from 18 to 24.

Watch as the soldiers of the Eastern Alliance happily loot corpses and carry armored weapons.

Li Li felt that he would not take it for nothing, so he dismantled two level 15 [Corrupt Golem Cores] and threw them on the battlefield.

The biggest difference between [Corrupt Golem Core] and the original Mire Core is that it can absorb corpses as armor, and the upper limit of the number is level x10.

Poof... Poof...

In the midst of some terrifying sound of flesh and blood fusion, the bodies of the two [Corrupt Golem Cores] gradually grew.

Even if the soldiers who touched the corpse knew that it was an ally, they couldn't help but retreat.

Hint: 2 [Corrupt Golem Cores] in your troops activate the new trait [Fear Awe-Human Edition].

[Fear Awe—Human Edition] lv.1

Due to the fact that the appearance of this unit is too terrifying for humans, it will reduce the attack damage of enemy humans by up to 8% until it is fully adapted.

The speed of adaptation is determined by the individual human attribute [Spirit Value].

When the human [Spirit Value] is lower than 11 points, they will fall into a state of [Fear] before they fully adapt.

"Gross...."

Shen Qiaoyin glanced at the golem composed of corpses, let out a retching sound, and then hurriedly turned his head away.

"This thing is disgusting, isn't it?"

Shen Qiaoyin said that he could not accept it.

"It's disgusting, if you feel disgusting, the enemy will also feel disgusting."

Li Li said very calmly.

"Uh.... It seems to make sense, to be honest, if this thing is an enemy, even if it will explode, I won't cut it. ”

Shen Qiaoyin suddenly understood.

At this time, Hughes arrived on horseback.

"Invincible City Lord, how did you get such a powerful Golem armor?"

Xiusi's golem was still absorbing the mire and solidified into [Golem Stone] as armor, and Li Li's corpse armor made him feel very amazing.

"You can't learn it."

Li Li said bluntly.

"Uh... Well, what's next for you? ”

Hughes asked tentatively.

Li Li looked around and whispered, "Let's find a place where no one is around." ”

Hughes is a little inexplicable, Goethe has been beaten away, what else needs to be so careful.

However, with the trust he had cultivated in battle, he still came to the side behind the big tree.

"Rune has lost one after another, and now is the perfect time to capture the southern hills."

"I think so too, this time I also captured a lot of armor and weapons, but I don't have soldiers."

Hughes looked helpless.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have soldiers, as long as you're willing to contribute, I can..."

"Ahem... It is the power of bloodline. ”

Theseus interrupted and corrected, and immediately understood why he had to hide and say this.

"Okay, it's called the power of the bloodline inheritance of poop, I thought of a way..."

"Forget it, you better call it poop."

The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

"In short, as long as you cooperate, we can march step by step in the south, all the way to the gate of the Lion City in Rune."

Li Li assured.

"All the way to?"

Hughes frowned tightly.

"I know you're worried about something, but I've got a scapegoat."

Li Li said, gesturing to the dilapidated camp below.

The [Corrupt Golem Core], which was covered in corpses, waved in response.

"You mean, even if the southern poisonous swamp spawns, it can be said that the corpse-covered golem is caused by it?"

Hughes seemed to understand.

"Yes, as long as attention is diverted, who knows how the poison swamp came about."

Li Li nodded in confirmation.

"This is a good idea, but there must be two conditions for my bloodline inheritance power to be activated, one is that the catalyst must be fresh, and the second is that it will only work on silt."

Hughes informed.

"I see, I thought that there was no poisonous swamp overflowing in Dort Province, but you couldn't let it go, it turned out that there were still restrictions."

Li Li was stunned.

"Why don't I lead the team to advance to the south, set up a stronghold first, and take my time."

Xius didn't want to give up the great opportunity in front of him, but he was really powerless.

Rune had been operating in the richest southern part of the province of Dort for many years, and it was obvious that no one believed that the expeditionary force led by Goethe was the last card.

Smack!

Li Li suddenly shook his hand and smashed a [Mud Block] to the ground.

"You... You pulled it out of there? ”

Hughes looked surprised.

"It doesn't matter, can you try to see if this can become a poison swamp?"

After Li Li finished speaking, he ran ten meters away.

Hughes' face darkened, and he poked a hole in the [Silt Block] with his finger.

In the sunlight, he looked at the color of the mud on his fingertips, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Uh... It turns out that there is no need to practice. ”

"I'm a believer in the god of the mire, how can I not even discern the quality form of the mud."

Hughes was also speechless.

"That's easy, I'll lay the silt, and you'll be responsible for transforming it into a poisonous swamp, as long as the stronghold is high enough, sooner or later you can besiege Lion City."

"It's unlikely, Lion City is at least five times the size of Misty City, are you sure there's that much silt?"

Hughes didn't think it was realistic.

"In order to defend itself, the Lion City is built on high mountains, and theoretically as long as about half of the area around the city-state is blocked, it can cut off contact with the outside world, and even if it fails, won't we have nothing to lose."

After Li Li finished speaking, Xiusi thought for a moment and vaguely felt that it was feasible.

After all, it's just laying the [Poison Swamp], and it's not a forcible attack into the city, so it's not too difficult in theory.

"It's done, don't you like sieges, let's call Rune to experience it now."

After speaking, Xius called the [Herald] and asked him to organize all the relevant personnel to build the stronghold and immediately go out of the city to participate in the long journey.

However, this order was stopped by Li Li, because it was enough for him to build a stronghold, but the [laborers] who could dig the pit should bring as many as possible.

As soon as Xius pondered, he did not return to the city to gather the [laborers], but asked the remaining six lords who were happily cleaning the battlefield and looting equipment, and brought the troops on an expedition together.

The six lords were really scared, but after Xius explained that they were going to lead people to dig a pit, they were not so nervous.

A mighty team began to move forward.

On Li Li's side, except for the two golems covered in corpses, they walked slowly, and the other units far surpassed each other's mobility, so they rushed back to build a stronghold first.

In order to save time, he didn't even go back to the city to replenish, but asked Bai Haitao to bring the 51 [Corrupt Golem Cores] produced in these Heavenly Cities through the chat function in the system, and converge at the designated coordinates on the way.

A large number of corrupt troops entered the territory controlled by Rune, and the surrounding villages and towns fled for shelter.

To the surprise of many people, these terrifying-looking troops did not attack or plunder villages and towns.

Instead, he marched at full speed, heading straight for the Lion City, the home city of his lord Rune.

As a result, all kinds of speculation among the people came one after another, and when they left, the expeditionary force was gone, not to mention, and there were corrupt troops rushing towards the main city, all kinds of signs that the front line may have been defeated, and the enemy is carrying out a counteroffensive.

When he was still half a day away from Lion City, Li Li found a stronghold burning.

When I walked in to observe, I found that this medium-sized stronghold was empty and had been abandoned, so I set it on fire.

Rune is shrinking the line, which is a good sign.

Li Li judged for a moment, then took out the map and put it on the ground and began to observe.

If the topography of the city-state that focuses on defense, the three-sided cliffs are among the top, then the three-sided peaks of Lion City must be ranked second.

That is, the offensive of conventional forces can only be launched from the front.

In this way, the defense deployment will only need to be concentrated in one direction.

As for the shortcomings, Li Li has deeply experienced it many times, that is, if the ground troops can't rush out, it is easy to be besieged.

But the difference is that there are only about 100 subjects in the invincible city, and there is not much difference between the siege and the non-siege.

The worst thing is just to gnaw on the [nut wall].

The Lion City has a permanent population of more than 100,000, and given the relatively strong folklore of Dort Province, if there is a long-term problem with the food supply.

Maybe you don't need Li Li to make a move, and the Lion City will be chaotic.

After determining the tactical policy of encircling but not fighting, Li Li placed his troops here, and he took Wang Qiang to continue to advance and select a location for the stronghold.

This is a relatively technical job.

If you choose to get too close, the opponent will be able to repeatedly attack the stronghold without needing supplies.

The distance is too far away, and it can't have a suppressive effect, and one can build a bridge without paying attention and restore traffic with the outside world.

After a busy day's work, the two finally settled on a dense wooded area.

Doing so would limit Rune's best cavalry.

Second, if you really want to fight, the [Armor of Thorns] can also maximize its effectiveness.

As soon as the stronghold was built, it was discovered by scouts.

Li Li didn't care, anyway, there were no troops stationed yet, and the materials were still [stone cubes], so he wouldn't send troops to smash a bunch of stones in the woods.

Three days later, Xius, who had been sleeping in the open air, finally came to meet.

The speed of this march is really stretched, but Li Li is not easy to blame.

After all, the Eastern Alliance poured out this time, and the more than 100 [elite guards] brought by Xius were already all his belongings.

More than 600 soldiers who can be used as [laborers] are the key to this plan.

"You built this stone castle stronghold?"

Theseus was shocked to see the large stronghold in the woods that could accommodate a thousand people.

"Well, because I'm in a hurry, I'm a little ugly in shape, don't dislike it."

Li Li explained.

Hughes felt a sense of heaviness as he touched the smooth walls made of stones.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the walls of this stronghold built in a hurry were more textured than the walls of his Misty City.

After teaching 10 soldiers to use the [Crafting Table] to make [Stone Pickaxe], Li Li went to the combat command room in the Stone Fort stronghold and studied the siege plan with Xius.

The location of the stronghold needs to be planned, and this is especially true of the placement area of [Poison Swamp].

At the same time, when the soldiers dig the pit, they also need the cover of the combat unit, and every detail needs to be studied and considered.

Busy until late at night, Hughes said he smelled a burning smell.

Just when Li Li wanted to ask him if he was hungry, a puff of black smoke spread into the house from the window.

When I came to the window and looked outside, I was surrounded by a sea of black smoke and fire, which was sweeping towards the stone castle.

"I always feel that I have overlooked something, it turns out to be a fire attack..."

Li Li helplessly supported his forehead.

"More than 2,500 spherical bombs are still in the stronghold, do you want to escape?"

Hughes consulted.

"No, you're hungry after discussing it for so long, so let's go eat first."

Li Li informed.

"Oh.... Yes? Going to eat? The woods are on fire! ”

Hughes reminded.

"I can handle the small scene, you can rest assured to go to dinner."

Li Li said and walked out of the stone castle stronghold.

Husna was still able to eat, and ran outside.

At this time, many soldiers saw the fire and ran out one after another.

Li Li came to the edge of the woods and opened the system panel.

[Rotten Blood Cells] are fully supplying the production of [Corrupt Golem Core], and naturally there is no leftover.

[Sunshine Ball] has accumulated 530 during this time, and it was delivered to Bai Haitao who rushed to the rendezvous.

Seeing the [Clover] of 5 [Sunshine Balls], he quickly poked his fingers and exchanged 50 plants in one go.

Clover Lv.3

Grade: E

HP: 33/33

Characteristics: [Wind Storage] Clover blades can rotate to accumulate energy when blown by the wind.

When it is necessary to rotate autonomously, the accumulated energy can be used to release a stronger wind.

Description: A gentle plant that doesn't like to be called an electric fan.

At a certain interval, Li Li began to plant [Clover] around the Stone Fort stronghold.

Once each clover plant is planted and senses the incoming black smoke, the three leaves spun up rapidly, blowing a strong wind in the direction they are facing.

Call! Call! Call! ....

50 [Clover] plants use wind flow to create a barrier, and the flames will be blown away before they can get close to the smoke.

The fire, which could not continue to spread, quickly burned out.

A hundred-man cavalry unit on the outside of the woods came into view.

Obviously, the other party wanted to use the fire to make a wave of harvesting, but after inhaling the smoke that blew back for a long time, the stronghold of the stone castle was still intact, so that the other party completely lost the idea of attacking.

"It's up to you to think of such a despicable act of setting fire to destroy nature."

Li Li didn't care whether the other party could hear it or not, and accused loudly.

"It's me who underestimated you, Invincible City Lord, but you can't be arrogant for too long."

The low rumble that came from the heavy helmet, as soon as Hughes heard it, knew that the person who spoke was Goethe.

"Goethe, if you don't accept it, call me, I'll wait for you!"

Goethe did not respond, but turned his mount [Giant Horned Rhinoceros] and turned his head and began to retreat.

Late at night, still very close to the Lion City, no one had the idea of rashly chasing.

"Li Li, you just accused Goethe of destroying nature, so if we really build a poisonous swamp, will we also destroy nature?"

Hughes asked, puzzled.

"You said just now, that trick is called moral kidnapping, and it specializes in fooling righteous people, if Goethe is tricked, he will feel guilty in his heart."

Li Li explained.

"And then?"

"Then he will regret it, and he will lose sleep, not rest enough, and lead to a decrease in his decisiveness at critical moments."

Li Li speculated.

"Is that okay?"

"Uh... The probability is not big, after all, how can a person who can be ruthlessly abandoned by the army be bound by morality, but this person is too difficult to deal with, and he can only attack in all directions. ”

Li Li felt that Goethe's teleportation and escape was indeed very unkind.

But it was this determination that made him see the threat.
