Dongzhou Xiangquan City

The weather is sunny in winter, the sun shines on the streets and alleys of the small town, Xiangquan City is only a county seat from the current point of view, and the ground is a little cold in the morning, which can not hinder the enthusiasm of the market from all directions.

Ye Qing went to the street, stopped and looked back, with a hint of a smile, and was very emotional in his heart, since the time of departure from Hope Port, this is the third day of Ye Qing's inspection of the territory, it can be said that it is rain or shine, and it is not perfunctory.

And every time he goes to a certain village or town, he will go around, and the Chuanlin notes will automatically record the geographical information of the surrounding ten miles, and then meet with the principal when he comes back, talk about life, and most of them listen to their demands, rather than change rashly.

This attitude is in everyone's eyes, and then looking at Ye Qing's gaze is a little different, most of them don't know Ye Qing's true identity, they only know that they are the new lords of Middle-earth to support, Qingmai has always been trusted, and it is easy to judge whether it is sincere or not.

However, there are no results yet, if you want to say that there is a real change, it is still early, and the one who really has confidence in Ye Qing at the moment is Liniang alone, who came to knock on the door early in the morning.

At this time, the two of them didn't speak, just looked at the flow of people, and went straight out of the East Gate Pavilion, and Li Niang said: "Zhenjun, I want to go to the tea castle today as planned...... However, last night Xia Gu Village reported that an official road to the tea castle in this village was broken again, and the village magician went to repair the spirit tree, but he never returned, and we lost contact with this village this morning, it may be that it was attacked, and the scale of the enemy is not yet determined. ”

After speaking, Li Niang's dark eyes looked at Ye Qing, waiting for his decision.

Ye Qing came back to his senses and moved his body: "Between Xiagu Village and the Tea Castle, it should be ...... in our territory."

Ye Qing was not in a hurry to decide, and recalled the location of the map, but he knew that the land here was vast and sparsely populated, and the territory of the false mark was lacking in military deployment, so he asked: "What are the enemies in our territory that have appeared recently?"

"There is an alien city-state in the east that overlaps with our territory, but the tea castle is resisted and guarded, and the enemy's large-scale troops cannot enter, so they generally do not send people into the ......"

"But it is not ruled out that this may ...... In the early part of the month, the forest hunting team found the footprints of the savages in the east, and sent a magician to inspect them, but there was no savage lair...... It is not excluded that there are exiled tribes of savages. Li Niang introduced the recent enemy situation and handed over a report on the conflicts of the past few years.

Ye Qing glanced at it, didn't reply, leaned on the carriage, looked at the official road and was silent, looking from afar, a little outside the city, there is a withered yellow and withered grass, a group of wild birds rise and fall, and it is a barren land in the distance.

After a long time, I flipped through it and looked at it, they were all small-scale conflicts, and for him, who was used to big wars, it felt like a village-level armed brawl, and the scale was less than a show, but the quality of combat power was not bad, and the proportion of magicians was very high.

Then there is the time characteristic, many of the attacks in the first half of the year are wild beasts, in early spring, some wild beasts that have awakened from hibernation are hungry for food, and there will be large-scale beast tides, and in the second half of the year, there are only individual cases of wild beast attacks, the colder the weather, the higher the frequency of attacks by savages and aliens.

"There is no need to change the itinerary to the tea castle, just take a look at the situation on the way. Ye Qing replied like this, considering that paper reporting alone is not enough, even if the attack is only a prelude at the moment, it is better to take advantage of the relatively safe opportunity to grasp first-hand information and prepare for the next big war.

In a short time, more than a dozen cyan rays of light rose and headed straight to the east.

Out of the city in the air to see, you see the vast forest, a green ocean, dotted with five-colored mist, like the waves on the ocean, but all poisonous, occasionally see a large area of spiritual light to clear out a clearing, the outer area is planted with crops, and the inner circle is established with villages or small towns.

These colonial strongholds, large and small, have in common high walls, towering walls, isolated islands on the sea, oases in the desert, and torches of civilization in the dark night - they are all surrounded by dense primeval forests, and the distance on the ground is a little farther away, and the transportation is basically cut off, and the roads cannot be kept open for a long time.

In order to quickly support the colonial strongholds, the East China Sea Immortal Gate teamed up to plant spirit trees in each leyline node, artificially established a magic circle, and connected each node in series to form a special network for magicians, which is the green road in Li Niang's mouth.

Ye Qing is now using this method, at this time, the cyan retreat shark group cruises, passing through the spiritual veins and mountains, jumping to the intersecting mountains, or valley roads, river water veins.

There is a spirit tree at each light transition, and the spiritual vein node like the Luoyang Immortal Peach in the lower soil provides a specific function - here it is not as powerful as the Immortal Peach, but it is only twice as fast as the Immortal Peach, and it seems that the pinball is transmitted between the springs, or the light is refracted between the mirrors.

Ye Qing has used the Longgong waterway, and the mechanism of the Qingmai network is different in comparison, and the advantage is that it is not limited to the water vein and spreads a larger range.

But there are also many disadvantages, one is that the speed is much slower, there is no small-scale rapid operation capacity of the waterway, and then there is the weakness of the destruction of the spirit tree, and the biggest disadvantage is that only the magician is qualified to join the maneuver, and the Taoist soldiers can only protect their own village, let alone mortal soldiers.

For Ye Qing, who is accustomed to piling up troops and pushing flat, this is undoubtedly a great waste in power projection.

The bigger disadvantage is that this is actually an extraction of the spiritual power of the earth, which will make the land desertified and impoverished for a long time, which is completely unsustainable, and will offend the heaven and earth - this may be one of the reasons why Qingde's colonization is not smooth.

"Seniors to Qinglu...... Don't you feel used to it?" Li Niang looked at Ye Qing's face and asked cautiously.

"You have limited resources, so it's good to be able to do this. ”

Ye Qing smiled and said, this is his sincere words, and he did not answer whether it is a habit or not, because since he comes, this kind of transportation limitation will soon change.

..................

After a short time, I came to the lost Xia Gu Village

Ten miles away, I saw fireworks, and when I got closer, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, and the gray shadow jumped between the jungles, and it was estimated that there were about two hundred.

"It's a savage. "Li Niang is a native girl from Dongzhou, and she can judge the enemy at a glance.

When Ye Qing looked at it, he saw some people, dressed in fur, waving big sticks and rushing forward, or carrying huge logs to crash into the wall.

"Boom" logs hit the wall, and the wooden wall swayed.

"Huh?" There is obviously a faint aura on the wooden wall, but this kind of log can ignore the simple wooden magic circle to penetrate the past, and some use crude projectile weapons to attack the village in the forest - the projection weapon is simple and rough, it doesn't look much more advanced than the child's slingshot, but the projected stone is an unstable spirit stone, the light color flickering, as soon as it hits the pale green magic circle shield, a small halo erupts, and the rain is as dense as raindrops, making the ground shake endlessly.

Ye Qing's divine sense swept away from afar, and he was a little surprised, because this thing was simply a natural leaf fire thunder...... If you look closely, the power difference is too far, and it is not a level at all.

The amount of spar bundles of artificial leaf fire thunder is too high, and the safe storage period is up to three years, it is impossible to store zài for a long time in nature, these small stones are very powerful, and they don't look easy to excite, Ye Qing noticed that some of them hit the ground and didn't explode, they were completely the same as ordinary stones, and they would only react when they clashed with the spiritual power of the magic circle.

Knowing that the value of this thing was limited, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to it, and turned his gaze to the gray shadow.

All of them look similar to the humans in their own domain, and the male savages who rush in front are basically some rough animal skin clothes, lean and lean, not too strong, but very agile and energetic, able to dodge most of the arrows shot in the village, only a few marksmen have the experience to predict in advance to shoot, often wounded but not dead, and retreat into the forest.

The long-range attack on the village in the forest is some females, who are obviously petite, with yellow muscles and thin muscles compared to males, and the female curves on the body are not obvious, probably too thin and fatless.

"These are the enemies?"

Ye Qing was a little strange, he thought it was a tall giant, but it didn't look much stronger than an adult male, it stands to reason that at this time, one or two senior magicians came out of the village, and the group spell went down, and directly cleaned up the large area, and it was possible to enter the pursuit stage.

"Zhenjun, don't underestimate them......" Li Niang saw the idea and explained in a low voice: "The strength of these savages is not very strong, their physique is very special, they have a little resistance to spells, and the blessing of the primitive shaman totem pole, the group spells of the sorcerers have no effect at all, they can only be counted and killed one by one, and it is a waste of mana if there are too many people. ”

"There is no Dao Soldier Protection Magician...... Ye Qing asked, and then he realized that this is a dense forest, and it is impossible to travel long distances without Guò Qing Road, and he frowned a little: "I understand your situation, it is difficult to make progress if I can support it...... It's all human lives, right?"

Li Niang's eyes flashed for a while, and she nodded: "The essence here is on the enemy's territory, we are the invaders, and the time and place are not advantageous, there are only people...... The tactics of this savage, the resistance of the Dao Technique is a manifestation of the strong vitality, the miasma in the forest is poison for us, nourishing for them, and can quickly recover from injuries, so they are very wild, and they dare to fight to the death......"

"These savages attack villages to rob them of food, and even if they are not killed on the spot, they will not survive after being robbed of food and banished into the woods. ”

"The direct killing effect of the sorcerers in each village is limited, and if you can't get timely human support, then only the home building can counteract the enemy's time and place, and fight them with human lives...... The winning rate is five to five, to see who can fight to the death more, who will survive. ”

The prosaic description of probability makes people realize the determination to survive, the right to survive of a person, the right to survive of an ethnic group, here is the naked law of the jungle, there is only life and death, there is no right or wrong...... It's no wonder that so many Qingmai monks who advocate the strong and war, and are not elegant at all, can be cultivated.

Ye Qing was silent for a moment, not only Li Niang, but everyone around looked back, waiting for the order.

"Go over and support immediately. ”

The sorcerer team is just that, the killing efficiency of the savages is not fast, once a few real people led by Li Niang join the battlefield, the group injury spell is real thunder, and if it goes down a few times, the roar of the savages with unclear semantics will be weakened.

But the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more intense, and many warriors with strong spell resistance, led by a strong warrior wearing a feather crown on their heads, rushed behind Li Niang fiercely to fight back against the devil who had killed a large number of their clansmen.

Li Niang was still in the process of collecting the spell, she didn't dodge at all, she only relied on the magic cover to resist the stick blows again and again, and she stretched out her hand to continue casting spells.

"Boom-"

A red ball of light flew out of the forest, repulsing and interrupting her spell, and an old savage raised his totem pole and shouted, and the red light lit up again.
