Chapter 50: Overcoming The Obstacle
The direct distance from Gloomy City to here is only twenty or thirty miles.
Although the terrain along the way is rugged, with a small number of elite troops marching quickly, it should be possible to arrive in the majority of a day.
Attacking Gloomy City is of course not realistic!
Gloomy City is estimated to still have over a thousand combat strength, as well as solid city walls and various defense works. With Miracle City’s current military strength, there is absolutely no possibility of immediately breaking the city.
But.
In front of Gloomy City.
There’s a Blackwind Pass.
It is the gateway to Gloomy City.
It is also the last line of defense.
This pass relies on the canyon, the terrain is rugged, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As Qi Ji knows, Maggot Eye was in charge of guarding Blackwind Canyon’s Great General, but now he suddenly died at the Black Bone Camp, and the Dark Lord does not have Lord’s Vision, so at least for a short time, he won’t be able to react.
There is an opportunity.
It’s better to gamble.
Just bet that Gloomy City hasn’t had time to supplement military strength to Blackwind Pass.
Just bet that the Goblin Lord Bloodthroat didn’t expect that the human Underground City would be so bold and strong.
If you win the bet.
Qi Ji will form a flying dragon riding on the face of Gloomy City.
The line of the Territory War will be directly pushed to the front of Gloomy City.
When Bloodthroat falls into a passive situation, he will definitely try to retake the pass. Qi Ji can then utilize the defensive advantage of the pass, once again consume Gloomy City’s military strength, and then counterattack and end the campaign!
Even if you lose the bet.
It’s nothing more than the loss of some military strength.
But the beginner protection period is still very long.
Qi Ji has ample time to rebuild the army.
This risk and price are not worth mentioning compared to the successful revenue!
ใYou resurrected the Witch Zombie ๏ผMingyue Zhaoxue ๏ผ, consuming 30 points of Spiritual Power! ใ
Qi Ji first activated the resurrection function of the Soldier’s House. He resurrected five Contract Adventurers, including Mingyue Zhaoxue, who died in battle, consuming a total of 90 points of Spiritual Power.
“Contract Soldiers are indeed easy to use!”
Daily temporary workers not only need to pay for transformation, but each death will consume Essence Souls.
Formal workers are different, not only can they be transformed for free, but they will also not consume Essence Souls, and can even be resurrected to rejoin the battlefield, so they can become part of the territory’s regular army.
The First Order Soldier’s House can resurrect 10 soldiers every day.
Although resurrection will generate some consumption, it can quickly restore a portion of combat strength, greatly enhancing the war potential of Miracle City.
A few minutes later.
Five Contract Soldiers, including Mingyue Zhaoxue, returned.
Tank 1 and Tank 2, who were staying at the Monster Camp, also teleported to the Black Bone Camp.
Miracle City’s army will be equipped with four Tank Zombies, a Witch Zombie, plus a Flame-Throwing Tracker, which is enough to form powerful combat strength, and this is also where Qi Ji’s confidence comes from to be so aggressive.
Still lacking!
For insurance.
Add a few more Monster Soldiers!
ใYou are summoning “Exploder Zombie” ร4. This summon requires consuming “Spiritual Power” ร160, “Soul Crystal” ร80, and “Exploder Essence Soul” ร4. Do you want to continue? Yes/No! ใ
Qi Ji added four Exploders.
The Adventurers are puzzled in the face of the round, chubby Fatty Zombie.
Pig King: “Lord Qi, even if you want to supplement your military strength, why summon this kind of useless troop!”
Cat Mengmeng: “Yes, there are good and bad monsters. Although Exploders are Two-Star Monsters, they are not as useful as Hunters!”
Other Adventurers agreed.
This guy is fat and slow in action.
The most frustrating thing is that they are very fragile and self-destruct at the slightest thing.
The shockwave and bile poison mist effects produced by self-destruction are not bad.
The problem is that once they self-destruct, they lose their lives, which is completely a one-time consumable.
Therefore, although Exploders often bring considerable threats and trouble in the Secret Realm, no Adventurer has ever wanted to become an Exploder Zombie, and no Adventurer has ever prepared to contract it, it’s just a cold-bench troop.
“You’ll know later!”
Qi Ji looked at the time: “Time is running out, this battle must be decided quickly, set off!”
“Alright!”
“Kill kill kill!”
“Miracle City will win!”
“โฆโฆ”
Rapid march for four hours.
Everyone arrived at the combat location.
“This is the Blackwind Pass we’re going to attack?”
“Oh My God, so high, so rugged, I’m afraid it’s not easy to get in!”
This is a mountain village built relying on the canyon terrain, with rugged terrain and narrow entrances, which looks easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even if there are only a hundred or eighty troops garrisoned, they can form a strong defense.
At least three or four hundred troops are needed to pose a threat.
The Adventurers looked at each other for a moment.
This battle is probably not going to be easy!
Qi Ji: “Although the enemy has taken the geographical advantage, this battle is not without a chance of winning, and in order to reduce losses, we can’t attack by force, we can only use wisdom!”
White Crane Hermit curiously asked: “Then Lord, what do you plan to do?”
Qi Ji did not explain directly, but selected four Hunters and three Smokers, “You are responsible for solving the Goblin Archers above.”
Black Stone Hammer King: “No problem!”
Lone Wolf: “We Hunters can climb up, but the problem is how to get close?”
Wind in Sleep: “The enemy has a wide view, and there is no cover around, we may be shot by random arrows when we get close.”
“Don’t worry, we have air-dropped troops, enough to form a containment.”
Air-dropped troops?
What does that mean?
Where did the air-dropped troops come from?
Qi Ji did not give a specific explanation.
He continued to order White Crane Hermit and Angry Little Chicken, the two Tanks, and Pig King and five Chargers as the vanguard. When the fighting starts later, they will attack the gate directly from the front to attract attention, and they are thick-skinned and tough and should be able to withstand most of the attacks.
The Mercenary temporary workers are divided into two parts.
One part, one hundred and thirty-five people, launched an attack from the gate.
One part, thirty people, are the airborne troops that Qi Ji specifically prepared.
“Everyone get ready!”
Tank 1 and Tank 2 each picked up an Exploder, their thick arms were like holding a lead ball, and like a trebuchet, they threw the Exploders toward the city wall of Blackwind Pass.
Throwing heavy objects is the traditional skill of Tanks.
The accuracy is very good.
No suspense!
Bang bang!
Two Exploders exploded like firecrackers, a shockwave carrying green poison mist, instantly enveloped the city wall of the pass, covering the Dark Goblins in it.
“Continue!”
Bang bang, another two shots.
This is definitely a human grenade!
The thick green bile poison mist filled the air and completely blocked the vision.
“So that’s how it is!”
White Crane Hermit’s eyes lit up.
The Lord is using the Exploders as smoke bombs!
“I understand too!”
Black Stone Hammer King was also excited: “The bile of these Exploder Zombies is a great tonic for Zombies, which can make us berserk, quickly recover from injuries, and have stronger strength, while other creatures will have their eyes and airways burned.”
The Adventurers were stunned.
Then everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Damn!”
“Wonderful!”
“Exploders can still be used this way? Suddenly I feel that this troop isn’t that bad!”
“โฆโฆ”
Under the cover of the green poison mist.
When the garrison Goblins lost their vision and coughed violently at the same time.
Isn’t this an opportunity to attack?
Not only that, the bile poison mist of the Exploders, although it will burn the eye membranes and airways of ordinary creatures, is a good thing for Zombies, which can play a role in recovery and enhancement.
Launch an attack at this moment.
The Zombies of Miracle City entering the green mist will immediately be blessed by the green poison mist, thus falling into a berserk state, greatly increasing speed and strength, which is equivalent to adding a buff to improve combat power for the friendly forces!
“Attack!”
Qi Ji ordered the siege.
The Hunters immediately took action first.
And the operation that Qi Ji prepared has not yet ended.
Tank 1 and Tank 2 didn’t stop for a moment. After throwing the Exploder Zombies, they grabbed the temporary workers beside them and threw them directly into the front of the pass tower in a throwing method.
“Air-dropped troops?”
“This is what Lord is talking about air-dropped troops!”
“Too operation!”
“What the hell, air-dropped troops!”
“It’s literally air-dropped troops!”
“Lord Qi, I found out, you are a genius, TMD!”
Tanks are powerful.
And they are good at throwing and throwing.
Plus the characteristics of Zombies that are thick-skinned and tough.
And combine with the healing effect of Exploders.
It is enough to directly throw a part of the combat strength to the enemy’s rear.
Even if these airborne troops will lose a part, as long as a small part maintains combat strength, relying on the blessing of the Exploder’s bile poison mist, they will also quickly recover and then pose a threat to the garrison.
Enough to buy time.
Create opportunities to attack for others.
White Crane Hermit and Wind in Sleep were even more impressed with Qi Ji.
This Lord not only has top-notch Secret Realm creation ability, but it seems that the ability to command troops to fight is also first-class. With such a Lord, how can Miracle City not rise?
The Adventurers are all full of confidence!
Today, it seems that it’s certain to take this pass.
Thanks to the passers-by who only play a supporting role, Pastelito, and 08a’s Tip!
