Chapter 129: Space in exchange for victory
The tens of millions of dark armies are like a vast tsunami, constantly advancing in the dark swamp. (Watch it and watch ♀ the mobile version)
Kobolds, goblins, trolls, ogres, harpies, and all kinds of dark creatures are endless.
Tens of thousands of extraordinary powerhouses stepped on the earth, and together they emitted a transcendent aura that penetrated the heavens and the earth, in the eyes of countless demonic beasts and dark transcendents who had not yet had time to take refuge in the swamp.
This army is already extremely powerful, and no one can stop this torrent.
Wherever thousands of dark creatures passed, countless magical beasts retreated, and beasts and fish were slaughtered and became snacks for dark creatures.
Five months have passed, and in the middle of these five months, Ace has accepted the refuge of eight orc legends from the eastern part of the Dark Swamp.
The defection of the eight orc legends, as well as the more than one million orc legions they brought over, further expanded the strength of Ace's men.
It also once again inspired countless dark creatures to have confidence in the victory of the war, and rushed forward with a roar.
After eight months of crossing the middle of the Dark Swamp from the north, Ace finally led his army to the southern border of the Dark Swamp.
Looking at the line in the distance that stretched to the end of his line of sight, Ace's dragon claws trembled a little.
His army swelled quite a bit more, accompanied by news of victory after victory, which was transmitted throughout the Dark Swamp.
Many dark creatures who were originally hesitant finally stopped hesitating, and dragged their families to join him, plus the more than two million elite dark creatures brought over by the seven Goblin Kobold Legends and the eight Orc Legends, the size of his army increased instead of decreasing, officially exceeding 14 million.
Even because the message of Tia's elven kingdom taking refuge in him was passed on.
Some of the elves who had been scattered by humans also came running over with their own dry food.
In the face of the strength of his subordinates, which is expanding all the time, Ace finally didn't dare to delay any longer.
If the news continues to spread for a longer time, he is really afraid that those elven legends hidden all over the world will also come to him.
When the time comes, he has mastered all the legends of the two major forces of the dark race and the elves, and he will use all his strength to fight a southern human who is less than one-fifth of the power of the human world.
This is simply the top of the mountain, and the other party's legends can run away, but the ordinary army under those legends is impossible to run away in the face of the powerful power that has erupted from dozens of legends.
In order to prevent cutting too many military exploits because of his strength, Ace had to speed up.
"Where are the humans?"
Ace looked at Eliza and asked with murderous intent towards humans.
Eliza gently stroked the giant crystal ball floating on her chest.
Inside the crystal ball, the picture began to flash, and after a while, a large area of abundant water and grass appeared in front of Ace's eyes.
I saw that in this city, countless people with bare heads and white skin but very rough skin, dressed in fur, walked in the city made of stone.
On the grasslands around the city, countless nomads are driving their cattle and sheep around.
"These guys don't even take me seriously!"
"I came here with so many troops, and the other party was not prepared at all!"
Ace said with the deepest killing intent.
He really didn't expect that in the face of a powerful lineup of more than 30 legends on his side, the other party would ignore him so much.
Instead of gathering, the army was disbanded, and the fertile plains outside the Dark Swamp were used as their own territory to graze.
"How far away are they?"
Eliza stroked the crystal ball again, and after a while, said, "It's eight hundred miles away!" ”
"And we are in trouble, there is no river in this vicinity, and the other party specially chose a grassland without a river, a castle constructed."
"Without the river, the food transported by the panda people will not be able to be transported at all, and if we land on land, we will face the risk of running out of food!"
Ace sat down helplessly.
The group of guys in the south still has smart people, and they slashed at his soft underbelly with a single sword.
As the expedition grew longer and longer, the Pandaren had to take a set of shipbuilding inheritances from him in order to supply enough food.
Then they began to build ships on a large scale, and they made them bigger and bigger, so that they could afford to supply their food.
And now, the group of nomadic cavalry in the south actually put the battlefield on the grassland eight hundred miles away from the swamp, and there is still no river connection.
That's the trouble.
Without the flow of water from rivers and swamps, ordinary ships would not have been able to land at all, and without ships to transport food, the fourteen million army he had brought with him would have been at risk of starvation once they landed on land.
Transporting food by boat in rivers and swamps is actually very easy for logistics, and it is very easy to throw food on the boat and simply row the boat or follow the current.
If food is transported on land, the cost is much greater than that in rivers, and a lot of manpower is required to transport and escort it.
At the speed at which they are now traveling, they can walk a distance of forty or eight hundred miles a day, and it will take them twenty days.
If there is an accident or detour along the way, this time will be extended.
And he didn't have a vehicle, and if he wanted to transport food, he had to let the dark races carry it on their backs.
And if a dark race wants him to be able to transport food continuously, the weight cannot exceed one hundred catties.
He himself has to eat three catties a day when he consumes too much during transportation, and twenty days multiplied by three, that is, sixty catties.
That is to say, even under excellent circumstances, transporting a hundred catties of grain to the battlefield, only forty catties can really be eaten by the soldiers.
If there is a detour, or if a human intercepts his transportation line, forty catties may not be available.
And with human intelligence, it is very likely that he will launch an attack specifically on his transport lines, and then starve his army to death.
Facing the food problem of 14 million troops.
Thirty Dark Legends and three Elven Legends began to meditate.
It's not that they didn't think of transporting food with space rings.
It's that they all have selfish intentions, why do they fight with their armies? Isn't it just to be able to expand the results when you win, and let them be used as cannon fodder when you lose, delaying the enemy's time and allowing them to escape?
That's the main thing.
Spending their precious storage space area to deliver food and contribute to the ordinary army, they are really not so generous.
