Chapter 113: Scourgelord Strategy
Li Qing only left about 1,000 troops, and 100 dragon vein snake people guarded the house, led by An Erqiu.
The remaining more than 4,000 troops, 400 dragon vein snake people, plus the lava crystal dragon went out with the army.
The lava crystal dragon and the white bone mammoth were first brought into the divine domain, and the army was directly teleported to the mage city-state through the large teleportation array within the dwarven tribe.
When he walked out of the portal, he saw a super mage tower connected to the dome in the center of a huge underground space, surrounded by earth, fire, feng shui, and dazzling light illuminating the entire underground world.
It is a very large underground space with an inner diameter of twenty or thirty kilometers, but it is not natural, but is made up of several adjacent underground spaces hollowed out and pieced together.
Inside the vast space is a city, and the surrounding open space has been cleared and reclaimed into fields for food.
This huge city should be peaceful and peaceful, but when the natural disaster invaded, everything changed.
This vast underground space is quiet, but at the junction of this underground space and another underground space, there is a huge passageway, and at the entrance of the passage there is a tall wall standing, where a large number of human and ethnic forces are fending off the undead attack from another underground space.
Li Qing came out of the portal and reconnoitred the surrounding situation for the first time.
It was obvious that the other underground space was newly dug, and the old mage of the mage city-state did not hide it from him before he came, telling him that the city-state was going to dig up the rocks and dirt between the main underground space and the other underground space, and dig several huge passages to connect them together.
Unexpectedly, when a passage had been dug up so far, a scourge suddenly invaded, and a scourge lord descended on the underground space next door, and a large number of undead poured out of the portal.
The mage city-state also reacted quickly, plus no less than twenty mage towers in the city-state united to use fossils for mud spells and fossils for mud spells, and then used shaping techniques to build a super city wall up to thirty meters high in one day, which blocked the attack of the undead.
Li Qing can only say that this is outrageous.
Whether it's the undead or the mage city-state.
With more than twenty mage towers, the strength of the mage city-state was beyond his imagination.
However, the strength of the Scourge Lord on the other side is also extraordinary, and there is also a powerful mage group under his command, and with the support of the Scourge Lord, he can withstand the pressure of the mage city-state head-on, and occasionally support the destruction of the city wall.
The section of the border corridor hollowed out in the bottom space of the two places was thousands of meters wide and three or four kilometers long, and the two sides invested a large number of troops to fight back and forth there.
Today, the undead attacked, and the mage tower in the city-state blasted the undead back.
Tomorrow pushed all the way back, and when he entered the junction corridor, the mage tower could not support, and he was pushed back by the Scourge Lord using a steady stream of undead.
Up to now, the two sides have been in a stalemate for more than two months, and no one can help anyone for the time being.
But the situation is relatively unfavorable for the mage city-state.
After all, they have to rely on human lives to go up on their side, unlike the lives of the undead, which are not valuable.
Most of these Scourge Lords have already conquered some planes, and it's hard to say anything else, how many skeleton zombies are transformed.
It's like the current fragments of this plane, the surface and the underground races add up to at least two million, deducting all kinds of losses, it's not too much to get millions of skeleton zombie cannon fodder.
Therefore, at this stage, the mage city-state can withstand it with the support of the other two human city-states, which does not mean that it can carry it all the time.
That's why they have been uniting all parties, and even foreign visitors like Li Qing don't mind.
Up to now, all the War Lord apprentices who have come to the underground are now concentrated here in the mage city-state, and there is even more than one apprentice who has spread his god domain here, just outside the mage city-state.
As soon as Li Qing entered the city, he sensed the existence of a local area network of a certain god domain.
First, let Xie Zhu apply to the city-state for a vacant lot outside the city to set up a temporary camp, and the troops were temporarily stationed there.
Then let Long Shou and Long Fa lead three hundred dragon vein snake people to participate in the battle first, and brush up their experience.
He has high hopes for this group of dragon vein snake people, with the blood of the dragon clan, he can break through the limit of the fifth order and advance to the sixth or even seventh order.
Although it would take many harsh conditions to not advance to the sixth order transcendent like a hero, it was not that easy.
Of course, like the Dragon Vein Snake Man, which belongs to the class and is not a hero, after being promoted, it is called a sixth-order high-level class, not an extraordinary strong, and the class cannot be called a strong, nor will it have extraordinary characteristics, but its strength is definitely much stronger than when it was a fifth-order.
For example, once the Dragon Vein Snake Man is promoted to the sixth rank, some talents that many Dragon Vein Warlock heroes can only have will be displayed one by one.
For example, dragon scales, dragon breath, and dragon wings, the three talents that can be selected by heroes at the first order, ordinary dragon vein snake people must be promoted to the sixth order, and the power is equivalent to full LV1.
But no matter how bad it is, this is also the talent of the dragon clan, the dragon breath of LV1 is already very strong, and all the five hundred dragon snake people can fly, and all of them can spit dragon breath, and this combat power will explode directly.
After arranging these, Li Qingcai came alone to a god's domain castle located outside the mage city-state.
The castle was not very large, less than two hundred meters in diameter, and it looked like a satellite city outside the mage city-state.
The gates were not closed, and anyone could enter or leave.
When Li Qing arrived, he saw a bluestone table in the open space on the right side of the city gate, and several people were sitting around a row of bluestone slabs chatting while drinking tea.
The familiarity was instantly recognizable as several Warlord apprentices.
Li Qing walked over, and a young apprentice subconsciously looked at him, with a trace of doubt on his face, and said strangely:
"Brother, I don't think I've seen you before, new here?"
Li Qing walked up and asked with a smile:
"Would you like to sit down?"
The man's feet swiped and swept over an empty stone stumble on the side:
"Of course, please be seated."
Li Qing sat down, took a cup of tea pushed by the man, thanked him, and said:
"Brother has a great eye, my name is Li Qing, I have indeed just arrived, and in less than three hours, the temporary base is on that side against the stone wall."
Several people looked in the direction he was pointing, and one of them nodded:
"Some of my subordinates told me before that someone was building a base over there, and it seems that it was you."
He clenched his fists and arched his hand:
"I'm Zhang Chunyi, welcome to the underground paradise!"
Li Qing returned the salute with a fist and asked with a smile:
"Why is it called a paradise?"
Zhang Chunyi replied with a smile:
"Because there is no need to fight and kill in this underground world, the three human city-states can communicate, and we can directly exchange the resources they lack such as food for the resources we need, how good it is."
"Well, it's a paradise indeed!"
For the War Lords who are not strong enough, this path is indeed very suitable for them, and it is not too much to call it a paradise.
"But it's a pity, now that the wind of chaos has come, there are natural disaster lords eyeing here, and I don't know if the mage city-state can stop it."
Hearing this, Li Qing became interested and asked with interest:
"A few brothers came earlier than me, did you go to inquire about the specific location of that Calamity Lord, and the specific strength?"
Zhang Chun glanced at him and said with a smile:
"Are you trying to kill the Scourge Lord with decapitation tactics?"
Without waiting for Li Qing to answer, he shook his head and said:
"Don't think about it, this can't be, the place where the Calamity Lord appeared is in the underground space opposite the corridor, it turns out that there are indeed many passages that can be detoured to connect the past, but the Calamity Lord is too powerful, in order to prevent the undead from detouring, the passage in the past has long been blown up, and it can't be passed."
"As for the Heavenly Calamity Lord, the true body seems to be a divine lich, although he has not broken through the sixth order, but with the help of the power of the divine nature, his strength is very strong."
"It also has a very powerful elite guard, all of whom have reached the fifth rank, and several of the guard leaders are all transcendental-level powerhouses."
"This lich is very good at golem making, and has a large army of flesh golems under his command."
"Divine lich?"
Li Qing immediately keenly noticed the elements in it, and asked in surprise:
"With divinity, is this Calamity Lord the two special Calamity Lords that the Academy said can obtain Destiny Points?"
Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment, and another young man on the side laughed and said:
"Thinking too much, it's just an ordinary Divine Calamity Lord, not those two special Scourge Lords."
"Uh-okay!"
The Divine Cataclysm Lord is still ordinary, which makes Li Qing powerless to complain.
But if it's a Lich Scourge Lord, it's not easy to deal with.
Lichs have a life box, and the core will is sealed in a life box that is hidden in the middle of nowhere, and this body is not really killed if it is killed.
Then they chatted for a while, and Li Qing mainly asked them about some information about the underground world, including whether the mage city-state spent a lot of money to hire everywhere this time, and whether there were any powerful competitors.
There are some questions that they answer very easily, and there are some questions that they don't answer directly.
In general, they did not reject Li Qing coming to compete, but they also had a defensive hand.
It is worth mentioning that they seem to have come to the underground world a long time ago, and they did not pay much attention to some changes in the surface world, nor did they clearly show some of the achievements of the apprentices in the world, and they did not know the achievements of the name Li Qing.
It seems that he just regards him as the chief under Nie Yang's mentor, an apprentice with good strength, and he doesn't know his glorious achievements.
Bidding farewell to them, Li Qing took another turn around the city-state, took a stroll around another god-domain castle, visited the city hall of the mage city-state, and visited several mage councilors of the city-state.
The main thing is to ask them if there is any Adamantite and Mithril that can be exchanged here, and if there are any special magic techniques that can be exchanged.
The result is yes, but he needs to have a certain record and kill a certain number of undead before he can redeem it.
Back at the temporary base, Li Qing looked into the distance with his hands on his hips and fell into deep thought.
But after thinking about it, I didn't think of any reliable way to break the game.
The absolute strength is here, and the intrigues and tricks have no effect, so they can only be head-on.
But with his own strength, on the front, he is looking for death.
Although it was easy for him to kill ordinary Cataclysmic Heroes at this time, after learning the strength evaluation of the Calamity Lord in front of him from the mage city-state and other War Lord apprentices, Li Qing knew in his heart that his current self was definitely no better than any Cataclysmic Lord.
No matter what the environment and terrain are, the advantages are not comparable.
There are too many undead that the Scourge Lord can command, at least a million, including tens of thousands of ghosts, tens of thousands of air units, and no matter how good the terrain is, no matter how elite the troops are, they can't offset this gap.
Even if there is a lava crystal dragon, it can't be defeated, hundreds of ten-meter-tall abominants pounce on it, and the lava crystal dragon will be unable to move.
Although the fiery force field of the upper dragon clan is strong, the force field is not dragon breath, and it will not burn to death and be hated for a while.
The key is that the Calamity Lord has both war beasts in his hands and flesh golem troops or means that are not afraid of dragon breath.
"I can only borrow the Scourge Lord's troops to brush up on the experience first."
The strength of this Cataclysmic Lord was even stronger than Li Qing had imagined, and the original plan would not work.
Next, Li Qing changed his tactics and split the 4,000 troops and 400 dragon snake men at hand into four detachments, each team of 1,000 people and 100 dragon snake people, and took turns to go to the battlefield to brush up experience.
Because for a while, there will be no way to deal with the mage towers of the mage city-state, and the army of the undead will not be able to rush into the entrance guarded by twenty mage towers.
It is impossible for the human city-state to attack the side of the undead, so the two sides have a tacit understanding that they only tear each other apart in this passage and consume each other's living power.
It depends on which side cannot hold on first, and the side that runs out of vitality first will naturally be defeated.
In this regard, the Scourge Lord, who has millions of undead, still has an advantage.
The total population of the underground United Kingdom is more than one million, but the total number of troops that can really be dispatched is only hundreds of thousands, and the ratio of ten to one is consumed, plus the soldiers who died in battle will be reawakened by necromancy if they have no time to cremate, which is equivalent to the more one side fights, how can it not suffer.
After arranging the tactics and making Xie Zhu optimistic, Li Qing retreated back into the Divine Domain and began to make the Steel Golem.
After being recruited by the mage city-state, the two hundred kilograms of pure gold and one hundred kilograms of Mithril were in hand, which could be used to make twenty steel golems.
Although it hasn't been made for a long time, as long as Li Qing can successfully make one, there is no possibility of forgetting it later, and it is very easy to remake a steel golem.
Of the twenty steel golems, only five were hammered, and the remaining fifteen were all equipped with adamantite greatswords.
As time passed, Li Qing was also obsessed with the production of steel golems, and as he became more and more proficient, he could complete one almost every day, with amazing efficiency.
In less than a month, twenty steel golems were made, and the total number of steel golems he had on hand reached 26, which was already enough to form a squadron.
Twenty-six steel golems with infinite power and magic immunity advanced in a row, and it was impossible for ordinary skeleton zombies to resist, and it was impossible for ordinary armies to resist.
After completing the construction, Li Qinggang came out of the Divine Domain and received another piece of good news.
After almost a month of non-stop fighting, more than a dozen dragon vein snake people who had been promoted to the fifth order had completed a huge amount of combat experience accumulation and had been promoted to the sixth order.
It has thick dragon scales, a pair of dragon wings on its back, and can also spew powerful flame dragon breath.
