Chapter 217: Second Batch of Spoils! The Backdoor of Metal Puppet Warriors!
Qin Luo didn't take the Goblin Lord's death to heart.
To him, this was just an insignificant small character.
In the process of Qin Luo's territory expansion, the Undead army fought north and south, east and west.
The number of lords wiped out by the Undead army is at least ten, if not twenty!
Of course, the lord territories encountered by the Undead army are not just these.
There are many lords who rely on the protection of the novice protection shield and have not been wiped out for the time being.
But the territory is surrounded by the Undead, and they can only shrink within the territory, not daring to go out.
In this way, the possibility of these territories developing and improving is directly cut off.
Once the ten-day protection period ends and the protection shield disappears, these lords will not escape the fate of death either.
Either they will be wiped out by the Undead under Qin Luo's command, or they will fall under the impact of the Monster Tide.
For these neighbors around the territory, they pose no threat to Qin Luo at all.
Sometimes, Qin Luo really wants to say, there isn't one that can fight! This is actually normal, because most lords are just ordinary lords, and a few are Elite Lords; even if they have adventures, they can't compare to Qin Luo.
As for Rare Lords, Qin Luo has only encountered one.
That is Xiong Zifang, who possesses the Rare troop Green Giant and whose lord talent is 'SymbioticMaleFemale'.
It's a pity that the other party was no match for Qin Luo at all.
With Qin Luo's current strength, let alone Rare Lords, even those Transcendental Lords are far behind.
Not to mention anything else, at the current stage, I guess not many lords have an army of 10,000 scale!
But Qin Luo has a million-strong Undead army.
Moreover, these Undead are not just Ordinary-grade Skeleton Soldiers; the strongest Undead is the Silver-realm Undead Monarch!
Silver-realm troops! I guess there are not many among billions of lords!
In terms of the number of troops, Qin Luo completely crushes those ordinary lords who have the advantage in numbers.
In terms of the quality of troops, even Transcendental Lords are no match for him! As far as Qin Luo knows, most Transcendental Lords can currently recruit at most Bronze-realm troops; although the quality might be a bit higher, the realm is ultimately there.
By the time they continue to upgrade their barracks and can recruit Silver-realm troops, Qin Luo's Silver-realm Undead troops will probably be everywhere.
At the beginning, the starting point of Transcendental Lords is indeed far beyond ordinary lords.
However, the difficulty of their barracks upgrades and recruiting troops is far greater than that of ordinary lords! Qin Luo's barracks have already been upgraded to the fourth tier, but many Transcendental Lords are still only at the second-tier barracks.
Even some ordinary lords with relatively strong strength or good luck have barracks levels reaching the third tier! "Back!"
After Qin Luo waited for a while in the territory, the second batch of teams transporting supplies from the Underground World finally arrived at the territory.
This time, a large amount of military weapons were transported back! Among them were movable Elemental Turrets, twenty of them!
Field Tanks, three hundred!
Siege Vehicles, five hundred!
Rocket Launchers, five hundred!
Magic Energy Giant Cannons, one thousand!
Laser Magic Cannons, three (third generation)! These are all spoils of war captured after taking down the Goblin Race, and also the reason why the Goblin army is so powerful and no one dares to provoke them.
Qin Luo knows about Field Tanks, Siege Vehicles, and Magic Energy Giant Cannons.
But it's the first time he's seen Elemental Turrets and Rocket Launchers.
The Elemental Turret is a tall tower-shaped building, about 30 meters high, presenting a bronze color as a whole.
There are eight elemental cannons on the top of the tower, emitting dazzling light, with the muzzles facing all directions.
The attack distance of the Elemental Turret can reach up to five kilometers.
As for its power, it is far superior to the Magic Energy Giant Cannon, capable of instantly killing Black Iron-realm creatures and injuring or even killing Bronze-realm ones.
And the attack frequency is very high! Most importantly, this Elemental Turret can also move; it can be decorated on the city wall to attack invading enemies, or it can be used as a siege weapon to destroy the enemy's defensive facilities.
And the Rocket Launcher can be seen as a weakened version of the Magic Energy Giant Cannon, with a relatively small size, and only one person is needed to use it.
"I didn't expect the Goblin Race to have so many good things!"
Qin Luo exclaimed.
Although the Goblin Race was 'easily' taken down by the Undead army, the power of these military weapons cannot be underestimated.
Possessing so many powerful devices, even if facing an attack by an army of hundreds of thousands, they could block it.
Even under such heavy artillery fire, I guess a large number of Bronze-realm powerhouses would have to die.
Non-Silver-realm powerhouses cannot survive under such fierce artillery fire.
As for the war with the Goblins, the other party did not go all out and had reservations, which actually has a very important reason.
That is, the war location was in the Underground World.
The power of these Elemental Turrets or Magic Energy Giant Cannons is indeed huge, but precisely because the power is too great, once it breaks out on a large scale, it is easy to cause the Underground World to collapse! If the environment were changed and the war location last night were on the ground, as soon as the hundreds of thousands of Undead army appeared, I guess they would have been bombarded by the Goblins' artillery fire! "If there were no Silver-realm powerhouses participating in the war, even if a million-strong Undead army were sent to launch a decisive battle with the Goblin army, I guess there wouldn't be much chance of winning!"
Qin Luo couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, feeling that he had underestimated the Goblin Race's war potential.
In fact, the reason why Qin Luo was able to take down the Goblin Race and occupy the Underground World so easily actually has a large component of luck.
First, he captured the Thirteenth Mine, used it as bait to lure the Goblin army's reinforcements, and successfully captured Maikai and Tuoboer, two big figures of the Goblin Race.
Second, both Maikai and Tuoboer expressed surrender to Qin Luo and were willing to actively cooperate with Qin Luo.
Under normal circumstances, big figures of this kind of power are basically unlikely to surrender to the enemy, preferring death to surrender. Third, in the final war, the Undead Monarch successfully defeated the Goblin King, limiting the scale of the war without breaking out into a full-scale war.
Otherwise, even if the Undead finally achieved victory, the result would definitely be heavy losses for both sides.
"These military weapons have a great role; they can indeed enhance the defensive power of the territory!"
Qin Luo murmured.
The military weapons transported in the second batch are truly strategic materials, which can greatly enhance the combat power of the army.
As long as there are enough people to use these military weapons and exert their power, the combat power of the army is simply shockingly strong!
Even if an ordinary lord's troops are equipped with these weapons, they can definitely defeat those Transcendental Lords! These things are different from equipment.
Although equipment can also improve the attributes and combat power of troops, the improvement effect is limited, and one must also consider the problem of their own strength.
Let's put it this way: the bonus of Bronze-grade equipment can make a Black Iron-realm troop possess strength comparable to the Bronze realm and deal with Bronze-realm enemies.
But if the troop's strength is only Ordinary realm, then even with the bonus of Bronze-grade equipment, it cannot be a match for a Bronze-realm powerhouse.
That is, the troop itself must have strong basic strength; the stronger the troop's strength, the more powerful the equipment will be.
But these Elemental Turrets, Magic Energy Giant Cannons, and even Laser Magic Cannons, even if the user is only a weak Ordinary One-Star troop, it does not affect their power at all, and they can still erupt with terrifying energy that destroys the Bronze realm or even the Silver realm.
"Keep these things for now!"
"After all, they have a significant role for my territory. In the next few days, enhance the defensive power of the territory as much as possible to cope with the impact of the Monster Tide!"
"What's more, I sold so much equipment and metal resources, so I'm not short of energy points for the time being!"
Qin Luo calculated and did not sell them directly like the captured equipment.
Because the Goblin Race's equipment does not improve the Undead Skeleton Soldiers much, exchanging them for energy points is the most cost-effective.
You must know that a set of Ordinary-grade equipment is worth 200 energy points, equivalent to being able to recruit 80 Undead Skeleton Soldiers! And each Undead Skeleton Soldier recruited by Qin Luo, under various bonuses, is equivalent to Black Iron-realm combat power.
But a set of Ordinary-grade equipment at most only allows a troop of Ordinary Two or Three-Star to possess Black Iron One-Star strength.
Moreover, equipment will experience certain wear and tear in battle; once destroyed, it is worthless.
So equipping Undead Skeleton Soldiers with equipment is definitely the most stupid approach.
"After the Ten Thousand Mile City Wall is completed, install these military weapons on the city wall!"
Qin Luo called Maikai over and ordered.
In addition to these military weapons, there are also many Metal Puppet Warriors! Metal Puppet Warriors are processed by Goblin Alchemists; their bodies are fused with various metals, and there is an energy core powered by Magic Crystals inside the body, while runes are carved on the body surface to form an operation array, which can act like a normal person and can understand some simple instructions.
Metal Puppet Warriors can be said to be a great invention. Their bodies formed by metal materials are many times stronger than Goblins, and they can do some physical work that Goblins cannot do, and they are widely used in life, work, and even war.
Metal Puppet Warriors are divided into four types! Iron-Armored Puppet Warriors, Bronze-Armored Puppet Warriors, Silver-Armored Puppet Warriors, and Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors! Iron-Armored Puppet Warriors and Bronze-Armored Puppet Warriors, although powerful, have average strength, only equivalent to Ordinary-realm strength.
They are commonly used in daily life and work, especially in the various mining areas of the Goblin Race, where Iron-Armored and Bronze-Armored Puppet Warriors can be seen everywhere.
Therefore, the number of these two types of Puppet Warriors is the largest.
There are 20,000 Iron-Armored Puppet Warriors and 10,000 Bronze-Armored Puppet Warriors!
As for Silver-Armored Puppet Warriors and Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors, they are not used in daily life, but are specially built as war weapons, born for battle.
Silver-Armored Puppet Warriors have combat power equivalent to Black Iron Two-Star and are equipped with corresponding weapons. There are 1,000 of them, originally one of the ten major guard armies of Goblin City, with powerful combat power, and generally require the orders of the Goblin King and Great General Maikai to be mobilized.
Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors, naturally, go without saying; this is the most powerful ace elite under the Goblin King, and the number is the smallest, only 100!
Each Golden-Armored Puppet Warrior has combat power equivalent to Bronze One-Star, not only possessing powerful attack power, but their bodies are all made of materials such as Adamantite and Mithril, plus multiple array runes, and their defensive power is shockingly strong.
Even the attacks of Death Knights are difficult to hurt Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors.
And these Puppet Warriors have a characteristic even stronger than the Undead, which is that they are not afraid of death or pain, absolutely obey instructions, and have no soul, and are not afraid of any mental or spiritual attacks. Many negative effects are also invalid for Puppet Warriors! The number of Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors is not large, only 100, all of which were built by the Goblin Race over many years, consuming countless resources.
Qin Luo obtained some relevant information from Tuoboer. Building a Golden-Armored Puppet Warrior requires at least one Bronze-grade Magic Crystal, and at least refining 1,000 units of four types of metals. After the body is built, it also needs Alchemists to carve various rune arrays, etc.
"The combat power of Metal Puppet Warriors is indeed good!"
"But for me, it is indeed a bit of a chicken rib!"
"With so many resources thrown in, I could recruit several Bronze-realm Undead Bone Dragons!"
"Moreover, Undead Bone Dragons are absolutely loyal to me and can continue to grow!"
Qin Luo murmured, "While Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors have fixed strength and cannot become stronger!"
Especially one point: these Puppet Warriors, although they can follow the owner's instructions, Alchemists can leave a backdoor in the Puppet Warriors, obtaining the highest command of the Puppet Warriors at a critical moment.
Alchemy Grandmaster Tuoboer mentioned to Qin Luo before the war that he participated in the production process of this Golden-Armored Army under the Goblin King, and could make the Golden-Armored Army backstab the Goblin King at a critical moment! Since Tuoboer can control the Golden-Armored Army, the other Metal Puppet Warriors are probably the same!
Therefore, Qin Luo has the same attitude toward these Metal Puppet Warriors as he does toward Goblins, just treating them as tools that can be used, giving them some freedom, but not trusting them absolutely!
Before this, Qin Luo was thinking about building some metal armies, even if they didn't participate in the war, placing them in the territory to act as guards would be a beautiful landscape.
But after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up this idea.
First, the manpower and material resources consumed to refine a Golden-Armored Puppet Warrior are enough to recruit several Undead Bone Dragons! The second is the uncertainty of the 'loyalty' of Golden-Armored Puppet Warriors! It's not that Qin Luo is overly suspicious, but safety is something every lord must consider.
After all, personal safety is better than anything else! "These Metal Puppet Warriors, temporarily put them into the territory's construction work!"
"With their help, the city construction speed should be much faster!"
Qin Luo had a new idea in his heart, "However, Metal Puppet Warriors might not be used for myself, but they can be manufactured for export!"
If a backdoor is left in the body of every Metal Puppet Warrior, and then the Metal Puppet Warriors are sold to other lords, wouldn't it be equivalent to arranging spies in other lords' territories to collect some important information.
Even, when a lord buys a Metal Puppet Army from Qin Luo, in the war, he can make them turn against him, which is simply too cool! However, the idea is good, but the operability faces many problems.
For example, the distance of control, how to transmit information, etc.
In the future, when I have time, I must discuss it with Tuoboer to see if it is operable! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
