"Okay!"

Li Qing understood, maybe Chu Zaizhong had indeed thought about clearing out the fish-man tribe before, but as time went by, a large number of apprentices stayed in his castle because of this fish-man tribe, which brought him a lot of popularity and a steady stream of income, but he didn't want to do it anymore.

Anyway, he can't help this big tribe of fish, and the big tribe of fish can't help him.

In terms of strength, the fishman tribe must have beaten him, but the fishman is not good at attacking cities, and there is no precedent for fishmen attacking cities in any travelogue miscellaneous.

"Okay!"

This one option can only be abandoned, then there is only one choice.

Through the Divine Network, he contacted the Stalker Hero Squad, which specialized in selling information, and spent a full 200,000 yuan to buy the information of the snake man city closest to him, as well as the two surrounding snake man towns.

By comparing the intelligence of the two teams, Li Qing had a slight understanding of the situation in this snake man city and the two nearby towns.

This snake city is located at the junction of two rivers, surrounded by water on both sides, it is not easy to attack, only two sides can attack, and it is difficult to attack.

The total population of this snake city is about 100,000, but there are two nearby towns and a large number of villages, with a total population of about 140,000.

In fact, there were five towns that belonged to this city before, with a total population of more than 200,000, but one was smashed by Li Qing with a meteorite, and the other two who were far away were broken by other War Lord apprentices, and the remaining two were too close to remain.

The city defenders are divided into three parts, one part is the main force of about 2,000 snake people, including the elite directly under the snake people's nobles.

The second part is the various vassal tribes, which have about five or six thousand, and there are also about five or six thousand slave troops who serve as cannon fodder when they work and fight in peacetime.

The third part is the mage tower system in the center of the city, including at least one sixth-order snake man mage, a dozen mages between the third and fifth rings, dozens of apprentices, and a large number of mage's servant guards, as well as constructed puppets, with a total number of about a thousand.

To be honest, if it weren't for the accidental bargaining, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for all the apprentices of the six mentors to unite to capture a snake city from the front.

The difference in strength is too great, and these troops alone can compete with them head-on, not to mention such a powerful mage regiment.

If you need to face a mage tower to siege the city, it's too powerful.

Looking at the information in front of him, Li Qing pondered for a long time.

The frontal siege will definitely not be able to defeat it, even if he loads and uses all the 1,000 imperial class promotion cards in his hand to make up a force of more than 1,300, even if all of them are equipped with pseudo-dragon skins with super defensive power.

The biggest problem is the Mage Tower and the transcendent archmage inside.

Only by solving this point will it be easier to do later.

But

Li Qing pondered for a long time, and even informed several subordinates of this plan, including a few heroes and a few professional subordinates, to brainstorm to see if he could gather the wisdom of everyone to come up with a good method.

While thinking about it, the other side was not idle, Li Qing contacted the tutor again and spent a lot of money to buy a group of people.

Now that the God's Domain has expanded, and the God's Domain Farm has also unlocked two floors, there is enough space and land, as well as enough food to support more people, so it is natural to continue to expand a wave.

He previously sold 30 essentia plus the original funds for a total of 30.52 million, of which 20 million bought kobold monster cards, and the remaining 1.25 million spent 12,500 kobold corpses, and now there are 9.27 million left.

The white name of the indigenous human is 1,000 yuan a piece, and Li Qing directly spent 5 million yuan to buy a full 5,000 human species, two-thirds of which are males and the rest are females.

In this way, the total number of white-named and gray-named humans in his current god domain will be as high as 6800+, and the number of dwarves will still be 250, and the scale will swell all of a sudden.

But I can afford it.

Even if you count people and horses, as well as ogres, etc., the entire population is calculated at 8,000, and each person consumes 3 kilograms of food per day, 24,000 kilograms a day, and 8.76 million kilograms of food a year.

And the Divine Domain Ranch has an annual grain output of about 60 million kilograms on just one floor.

This means that the first layer of pastures alone in the God's Domain can supply a maximum of 54,000+ people, and the third layer deducts one type of planting vegetables, plus the God's Domain Ranch, which means that a fully unlocked God's Domain Farm and Ranch can fully supply food for more than 100,000 people at most.

And this refers to the state of complete supply, if the supply is reduced, it is no problem to raise 200,000.

After all, normal people can't eat three kilograms of rice plus vegetables and about one kilogram of meat a day.

When the population was in place, Li Qing did not hesitate to use all the promotion cards at hand, a total of 500 imperial infantry, 500 imperial archers, and 100 imperial cavalry were all loaded and used, creating 1,100 recruits.

Then use the space in the palm of your hand to transform a large amount of stored matter, and combine a set of standard super thick leather suits according to the defense standards of pseudo-dragon skin.

Now it can't be as casual as before, Li Qing put together a complete set of standard suits including full body leather armor, leather helmets, leather belts, leather boots, and leather gloves according to the size and style of infantry equipment.

Yes, it's a new standard leather set, not a pseudo-dragon skin.

At the beginning, the pseudo-dragon leather armor was indeed completely imitating the dragon skin fiber, but later Li Qing found that there would be a big problem with this operation, that is, it was too high-profile.

Although it is a pseudo-dragon skin armor, not a real dragon skin, it is no different from the real dragon skin in terms of exterior and defense, which makes others find out how to explain where they got so many dragon skins?

So he changed his thinking, using pseudo-dragon skin as the standard, readjusting the molecular arrangement and structure of dragon skin fibers, and constantly trying to synthesize a synthetic leather that is very different from dragon skin, but equally powerful in defense.

To put it bluntly, dragon skins are also made up of fleshy fibers unique to dragons.

However, the essence of fibers is the same, they are all composed of different structures and arrangements, but the arrangement and composition of dragon skins are different from ordinary animal skins.

Li Qing's palm space can break down any material into the most subtle state, and then readjust the arrangement and composition of the fibers according to his own wishes, so as to combine different types of synthetic leather.

He then picked out excellent synthetic leather from which to make new leather armor.

The toughness and strength of the leather are greatly related to the tightness of the fibers, and the tighter the fibers are arranged, the more fiber substances need to be consumed.

Each set of standard super-strong synthetic leather armor requires the consumption of a full 5 square fiber materials.

The so-called fibrous matter is his collective term for wood, clothing, various plant and animal skin fibers, etc.

The appearance and material of the newly synthesized super leather armor are no different from ordinary animal skins, but the defense power is comparable to that of the pseudo-dragon leather armor, and it also has no magical defense.

But what does it matter?

A recruit can be equipped with leather armor with physical defense comparable to dragon skin, what more could he ask for?

In addition to defense, the offense did not fall, and Li Qing updated the weapons of each soldier.

First of all, all the one-handed swords equipped with them have been updated, and the original iron sword has been replaced with an iron sword made of high-carbon steel, which is not only stronger, but also sharper.

To use an intuitive analogy, the original one-star iron sword was updated, but after the update, it became a sharp steel sword with at least three stars or more.

In addition, the original recruit shield was made up of several wooden planks, which was not very durable and could not carry heavy blows.

The updated shield is made of high-density wood, and the thick wooden shield has three layers of additional material inside, for a total of five layers.

The most superficial layer is high-density wood, the second layer is buried with a layer of fine steel wire mesh, the third layer is sandwiched with a layer of pseudo-dragon skin material, the fourth layer is a layer of fine steel wire mesh, and the innermost layer is a pseudo-dragon skin material, which will not feel clumped on the body.

Moreover, it is said that it is a comprehensive five-layer, in fact, each layer is cushioned by high-density wood, and the actual number of layers is more.

On the surface, it is just an ordinary drop-shaped wooden shield, but in fact, this thing has at least four or five stars of defense, and its defense is very strong.

To be honest, if this set is purely handmade, the cost will definitely exceed the cost of the fourth-level troops.

It's also for your own use.,You can use the ultra-low-cost synthesis of the palm space.,If you're looking for a craftsman to make it.,The efficiency will be pitiful.。

This is also the main reason why the weapons of the class are so poor at the low level, the cost is too high to be worth it.

The cost of a fourth-tier Imperial Infantry Promotion Card is only 2,000 yuan, and the main cost of this price is the price of the weapons and equipment included in it after promotion.

After the recruit is upgraded to the first level, the weapon is updated to a better one, and the upgrade price will naturally rise, requiring a full 4,000 yuan.

For example, the first-order imperial infantry is promoted to the second-order imperial senior infantry, in addition to the enhancement of combat skills, weapons and equipment are also strengthened, such as thick leather armor replaced with chain mail, and the upgrade price is 10,000 pieces each.

When the second order is upgraded to the third order, the combat skill experience plus the whole body scale armor is more expensive, and the money required for upgrading is 50,000 one.

As for the fourth-order Imperial hoplites equipped with plate armor and tower shields, the upgrade needs are very exaggerated, 200,000 one, and they can't afford to upgrade even if they have enough experience.

It is worth mentioning that Li Qing does not need to spend extra to be promoted with a helicopter card.

Because the helicopter card contains things that he doesn't know yet, it can replace all the needs of the promotion all the way.

In addition, there are two kinds of various monster card promotions, one is needed and one is not needed.

Among them, loot monsters can be promoted all the way without paying a price.

If it is a monster class system similar to the human imperial system, mastered by a certain god seat, or other great beings in the Chaos Void Sea, it will have to pay a price.

The monster subordinates at Li Qing's hand are all trophies, and there is no need to pay a price for promotion.

If all of the 1,030 troops are promoted to the fourth rank, the total cost will be as much as 300 million or 400 million, which is very outrageous.

Fortunately, there is no need for a salary, otherwise it would be even more difficult.

In addition, although Li Qing can configure better weapons and equipment by himself, so that the first-level infantry has a combat effectiveness comparable to that of the second-level or even third-class troops, it does not mean that he does not have to pay for promotion.

The same has to be paid, and not a single cent is missing.

Even if the equipment after promotion will be taken off and replaced with his own, this money cannot be less.

Because promotion can strengthen the physique and increase combat experience, and weapons and equipment are only one of them, the trinity cannot be divided, and if you want to be promoted, you can package and buy them together.

It's impossible to have only one or two of them alone, unless you create your own class system.

Speaking of which, Li Qing does have this idea, he can synthesize this super synthetic leather armor comparable to dragon skin on a large scale, plus he has an extraordinary talent in runes and various legal systems, it is not impossible to build his own military system in the future.

If you accumulate enough, you can directly build a powerful class system of your own.

The starting point is a super synthetic leather armor suit, which is equivalent to a third-order class, which is not much stronger than the imperial system.

When the time comes.

Well, it's too early to think about this, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, let's attack the next snake city first.

According to Li Qing's assessment, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the entire 1,300 troops with a full set of super synthetic leather armor suits can definitely compete head-on with the force of the snake man city, and the biggest problem now is how to deal with the mage tower and the archmage sitting in the city.

As long as a way to deal with the Mage Tower can be found, the city can be captured.

There are only two ways to deal with the archmage with the mage tower, one is to crush it with force, and the other is to assassinate the archmage.

Needless to say, crushing with force, what are you struggling with with this ability.

Then there is only one way, to kill the archmage.

Or another way, find a way to lure the archmage out of the mage tower, and then find a way to assassinate him.

On the first floor of the Divine Domain Tower, Li Qing sat at the top, and below sat the leaders of all the knights of the first order in the Divine Domain.

Li Qing lightly tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice:

"There is only one way, let's think about it, what method can be used to lure out the city's garrison archmage and kill him."

Everyone turned their heads to each other and talked about it.

Leaning less, An Erqiu raised his hand and stood up, and said:

"I have a new idea, and I don't know if it's feasible."

Li Qing raised his hand:

"You can talk about it, you can come up with any new ideas, even if it's best to adopt whichever one."

Anerqiu says:

"I've been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days, and I'm thinking, a city must not be self-sufficient, it must need foreign supplies, can we find a way to cut off all external channels in the snake city, or cut off the upstream river and divert it."

"As long as it lasts for a period of time, the city will not be able to hold on to water and food."

"If they don't want to face such an end, they have to go out of the city to fight us, so they don't come out?"

"If we only send troops, we will eat their soldiers, and if we send an archmage over, this will play into our hands."

"Good idea, you can spare it."

Li Qing nodded and asked the others:

"What about you, do you have any other ideas?"

Everyone shook their heads, Xie Zhu shrugged his shoulders and said:

"We all have similar ideas, similar to His Excellency An Erqiu, either running out of food or besieging Wei to save Zhao."

"Huh?"

Li Qing raised his eyes and said:

"What is Wei Wei to save Zhao, let's talk about it."

"It's very simple, I remember that when Morxi attacked a snake town before, didn't there be a mage tower to teleport over to support, we can also do the same, directly surround a snake town on the edge of the snake man city, wait for the snake man mage to teleport over, and then intercept it and kill it."
