Chapter 494: A Broken Balance
A week after Midi entered the Black Crystal Forest, that is, two weeks after entering the Crystal Dragon Castle, a three-legged pattern was finally formed around this Dragon Temple.
Midi's side, as the leader, occupies a large area in the north of the Dragon Temple, has a dark lighthouse, opens the mid-level exchange huàn, and the black flame coins in hand are always maintained at the level of 300,000.
Thor's side, as the strongest team, occupies a large area on the east side, and also has a dark lighthouse, opening the mid-level exchange huàn, however, the black flame coins are relatively few, only about 100,000 on hand, and the collection speed can't keep up with the consumption for a while.
The combined team of the red-blooded bat and the two-headed wolf is hiding in the corner of the west side, desperately carrying out the most basic collection, in order to open up the situation in the shortest possible time.
Soon, however, as they became familiar with the huàn system, Simon and the others discovered a frustrating fact - even if their collection efficiency reached their current limits, it would not be possible to catch up with the leader Midi and the next Thor.
The factor of "coming too late" alone was enough to strangle them in the early stages of the war for resources.
In other words, it is to lose at the starting line.
It's just that while the people of this joint team were panicking, a calm voice sounded.
"There is another way to give us hope of victory. Alex stepped out of the line and said.
"Oh, what's the solution?" Simon and Curt, the two captains set their eyes on Alex at the same time.
"In terms of the scale of development of the base and the speed of resource collection, it is indeed difficult for us to continue, but if we can take the other party's base, it is another matter. Alex's eyes flashed with an imperceptible glimmer.
Grab the base?
Simon's heart fluttered, but soon, he shook his head and sighed.
The 67-level "Fighting King" Thor is the strongest in this Black Crystal Forest, not to mention a one-on-one situation, even if the red-blooded bat and the two-headed wolf are all together, they may not be his opponents.
Now that Thor doesn't come to demolish the base here, Simon is already very content, and instead attacks the Scorpion of Death, that's looking for death, right?
Sensing Simon's opposite, Alex smiled slightly: "If Mr. Simon is jealous of that 'Fighting King' Thor, then don't worry, we don't need to deal with him, just deal with Midi." ”
"But aren't Midi and Thor both members of the Death Scorpion family?" asked Curt, slightly puzzled.
Although Midi and Thor turned their faces, they were in a delicate balance at the moment where no one could help anyone, and of course, although they were facing each other, it was impossible for them to publicly declare it.
In the eyes of Simon and Curt, the Death Scorpion family is the dominant family, and they have directly opened two bases, and Midi is the candidate sent by Thor to be in charge of the deputy base.
But Alex saw something unusual.
First of all, Midi's base is even bigger and more well-equipped than Thor's.
If Midi is Thor's subordinate and is in charge of the "sub-base" under Thor's orders, then according to normal logic, it should be to go to the smaller base.
But now, the team of Midi, who is low in rank and small in number, occupies the largest base, which in itself feels strange.
With the arrogance of the "Fighting King" Thor, how could he be willing to give up the main base and go to a small base to develop, and instead give up the largest territory to the fifth-ranked human in the core disciples?
Secondly, there was absolutely no communication between the personnel of both sides.
It would be fine if you could use magical communication, but in this dark crystal forest with a lot of magical impurities, face-to-face communication is essential.
But between Midi and Thor, they never met.
Finally, as a psychic powerhouse, Alex could feel that both sides were in a state of vigilant readiness for battle, whether it was approaching Midi's base or Thor's base.
To put it simply, the two sides can be said to be full of gunpowder.
At this point, Alex naturally deduced that there was not only a conflict between Midi and Thor, but also a public falling out.
In this case, if he only attacked Midi's base, Thor would not only not help, but he might also fall into the ground.
Of course, even Alex was not 100% sure about the internal division of the Death Scorpion, because both Midi and Thor had a strange feeling all over their bodies, making it impossible for his Soul Silk to approach at all, let alone spy on their love.
However, even so, Alex is still seventy percent sure that there must have been a conflict between the two.
And this odds are enough to make Simon determined to launch an attack.
If you don't grab the base and continue to drain it like this, defeat is a foregone conclusion, and if you launch an attack, you may be able to turn the tables smoothly.
As long as Thor doesn't make a move, or even a little slower, Simon is confident enough that, with his strength, he can directly take out Midi in a short period of time.
Isn't it just a small character at level 63?
But faintly, Simon forgot one thing - if Midi is really just a level 63 small character, why should he compete with Thor?
The group didn't think much about it, but marched quickly all the way, and came directly to the vicinity of Midi's base.
They were going to find an opportunity to attack immediately, kill Midi and the others, or at least drive them away, and try to take the base.
Although the control power of those alchemy puppets is not easy to seize, as long as they can take away those honeypots that store a large number of black crystals, it is enough.
After all, while refining Sombra into the Black Dragon Remnant Order is the safest way to do so, when the number of Sombra reaches the level of 100,000 points, it becomes very troublesome to do so.
Therefore, most of the black crystals should still be stored in honeypots.
As for alchemy puppets such as soldier bees, unicorn fairies, and steel ladybugs, for them fighters, it was not a problem at all.
The individual combat power of these alchemy puppets is not strong, mainly because they have a special restraint for the Black Crystal Demon Beast, coupled with the numerical advantage, this can become a climate.
To put it simply, the relationship between alchemy golems and fighters is the same as the relationship between ordinary soldiers and adventurers on the continent of Arad.
In the face of the red tide composed of hundreds or thousands of **** demonic beasts, the legion of alchemy puppets can effectively block the enemy.
However, they were powerless in the face of a handful of fighters who went deep behind enemy lines to decapitate them.
After all, a team of fighters above level 64 has too strong a penetrating ability.
In fact, Simon, Alex, and Curt, these people traveled all the way without alerting those alchemy puppets at all.
With the range skill of one of the fighters on the team who is good at stealth, they directly infiltrated it.
Soon, the full picture of the forward base was directly exposed to Simon's eyes.
Majestic walls, towering dark lighthouses, busy worker bees, and Gnaku, guarded by a large number of alchemy golems, the entire forward base is a well-organized scene, like a real military camp.
And in this barracks, Midi and the others were sitting around a campfire, obviously resting.
"Boy, this time, see if I don't kill you. As soon as he saw Midi, the corners of Simon's mouth immediately revealed a sneer full of murderous intent.
He had never forgotten about it, from the beginning when Midi overturned his brother Seth, to the campfire party that followed, to the selection of the warriors of Morsoblay City.
This round-eared human has made him make a fool of himself again and again, and now, it's time to make him pay.
"Kill!" Without any extra instructions, Simon had already taken the lead, directly from his hiding place, and rushed to the campfire in the camp.
The fighters of the red-blooded bat and the two-headed wolf also followed closely and quickly killed it.
The number of this combined team was much larger than the mere four people on Midi's side, and even more than the Death Scorpion team on Thor's side, and when it was launched, the momentum was quite imposing.
Along the way, the alchemy puppets in front of them were directly torn to pieces by various skills almost within a single face, and then turned into a shower of metal raindrops.
In just one minute, Simon had already arrived in front of Midi with an unstoppable momentum.
"Midi Asrex, long time no see. Simon didn't rush to attack, but instead smiled grimly.
finally got a chance to face to face with Midi, how could he be willing to kill the other party so suddenly?
Like a cat playing with mice, he would first give Midi a glimmer of hope, and then shatter that hope with his own hands.
It wasn't until he saw Midi's desperate eyes that he killed this ignorant human.
And until then, he wants to enjoy the sweet taste of victory.
Although Midi and the others are still unharmed now, in Simon's opinion, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of numbers and ranks, and once they really fight, there is no suspense at all.
The only thing to pay attention to is the movement of the "Fighting King" Thor.
However, although the group had already rushed into the base, Midi's face did not show the panicked look that Simon had expected.
On the contrary, Midi's expression was extremely calm, as if he didn't pay attention to Simon at all.
This kind of calm and ignorance made Simon feel extremely unhappy at once.
He was about to open his mouth to threaten, but Midi did first.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Simon. I don't know what you're doing when you break into my base?" Midi glanced at the fighters around him lightly, and said calmly, "Or is it that the people of the Red Blood Bat Family don't understand the rules and lack etiquette?"
"What did you say?" Simon's face suddenly darkened.
Even if he knew that the other party would die in his own hands, he still couldn't bear this blatant provocation.
Midi smiled and said, "My meaning is very simple, since I have taught Seth before, then I don't mind, now I will teach you." ”
