Chapter 46: Effective Solution! Entering the Red Iron Mine!
Seeking Peace and Becoming Stronger!
This is the only two ways Jian Shengyuan, the Kobold lord, can survive.
Seeking peace, saying it nicely is seeking peace, requesting peaceful coexistence from the Undead lord, but actually it is surrender, being a cow and a horse for others, and the other party may not necessarily accept it.
Secondly, it is becoming stronger, improving one's own strength.
Since the territory is surrounded, the ways to become stronger that can be found are either recruiting troops or purchasing some props that can become stronger in the Trading Market, such as magic potions, equipment, etc.
Once the strength is increased to a certain level, maybe one can defeat the Undead outside.
Since Jian Shengyuan promised to give five hundred units of Red Iron to those who provide effective solutions, he likely has such resources in his hands.
In Qin Luo's view, the possibility of Jian Shengyuan giving out five hundred units of Red Iron is almost zero; it is likely just a gimmick.
"Five hundred units of Red Iron are worth several thousand Energy points!"
"Even if it is Ordinary-tier equipment, it can buy one hundred pieces, equipping a team of powerful Kobolds!"
"This Jian Shengyuan surrounded by which Undead army must be dealt with carefully!"
Qin Luo murmured, immediately letting the Undead nearby notify the major Undead legions scattered outside, telling them not to take it lightly if they encounter lord forces.
"However, this Jian Shengyuan is just an ordinary lord, and the Kobolds under his command have been killed by more than half, so he shouldn't be able to make any waves!"
Qin Luo flipped through the reviews, and just as he was about to close the forum as he was about to arrive at the Red Iron mine, he saw a long comment.
The lord who made the comment proposed a very suggestive method.
It is also a very effective method for lords at the current stage to use geographical advantages to win by weakness.
Don't lords have a ten-day Novice Protection Period, possessing an invincible protection shield.
And the coverage range of the protection shield is the range of the territory.
Ordinary One-Star territory is ten meters in radius.
Ordinary Two-Star territory range is thirty meters in radius.
". Just calculate the time of territory upgrade, lure the Undead outside to the territory boundary (ten meters position), and then upgrade the territory with the collected resources. At this moment, the territory upgrades, the Novice Protection Shield will expand to thirty meters in radius together, and will push the enemies within that range to thirty meters away, even dark monsters will suffer huge damage, I personally tested it effectively... This is also the only good opportunity to use the protection shield to counter-kill enemies!"
The content of this comment is very detailed, including how to operate, one by one.
Completely different from the armchair strategy of other lords.
"Sure enough, even among ordinary lords, there are many existences with superior intelligence!"
Qin Luo just read the content of the comment and knew that the method proposed by this lord named 'Sun Juyi' was indeed useful!
Previously, most lords only treated the Novice Protection Shield as a defensive tool, while Sun Juyi turned it into an 'offensive' weapon!
Using this method is equivalent to hard-hitting the Undead twenty meters away; except for the Black Iron-tier Bone Generals, other Undead are basically finished, if not dead, they must be seriously injured.
And under this comment, there also appeared Jian Shengyuan's affirmative reply, saying that he is purchasing resources for territory upgrade, and then will try, and if successful, he will definitely give the corresponding reward.
"However, you forgot that I am also a lord, and I can also see posts and comments!"
Qin Luo dispatched several more Undead scouts to inform other Undead legions of the plan Jian Shengyuan might implement.
"Lord, we have arrived at the mine!"
Kuni said softly beside Qin Luo.
"Good!"
Qin Luo nodded slightly, looking ahead.
The originally crimson ground was full of bright red and charred black.
The bright red was blood, the blood of the Gold-Eating Rat group. 【
The charred black marks are what remained after the explosion.
From the devastated battlefield, one could see just how intense the battle last night had been.
"Where is Wang Yi?"
After dismounting, Qin Luo arrived at the entrance of the mine and asked an Undead Skeleton Soldier stationed there.
"Lord, they have already entered the depths of the mine and are currently in a standoff with the Gold-Eating Rat tribe!"
The Undead Skeleton Soldier responded immediately.
"The battle isn't over yet?"
Qin Luo asked in surprise.
"No, the Gold-Eating Rat tribe retreated from the mine and fled along the passages toward the depths of the mine. Due to their large numbers and the complex terrain, it is difficult to eliminate them all at once!"
"However, we have already cleared the mine and the nearby passages. There are no traces of Gold-Eating Rats left; we have completely eliminated the hidden dangers!"
"According to the latest news from the Undead Legion, we have successfully located the nest of the Gold-Eating Rat tribe. Wang Yi is currently leading the army to surround and suppress the Gold-Eating Rat nest. Now, the Gold-Eating Rats no longer pose a threat to the mine and will not affect our mining work!"
The Undead Skeleton Soldier said.
"Understood, you all continue to guard this place!"
"I will go down into the mine to take a look!"
As Qin Luo said this, he turned to Kamen and the others and said, "This is the Red Iron Mine. Your task is to mine the red iron and transport it back to the territory. As for the safety of the mine, the Undead will be responsible for it. If you encounter any danger or problems, find the Undead to resolve them!"
"Understood, Lord!"
Kamen nodded repeatedly.
"Hmm, then let's start working!"
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he led five thousand Undead Skeleton Soldiers into the mine.
The situation inside the mine was no better than outside; the passages were filled with various flesh and bone fragments, and the air was thick with a heavy stench of blood and the smell of gunpowder smoke left behind by the explosions.
Qin Luo also gained a general understanding of the situation on both sides.
After last night's battle, over five thousand Gold-Eating Rats had been eliminated, and the ownership of the Red Iron Mine had been successfully reclaimed.
At the same time, by tracking the retreat route of the Gold-Eating Rats along the underground passages in the mine, they had fought all the way to the Gold-Eating Rat nest.
Currently, the Undead Army, led by Wang Yi and Wu Ershiyi, was in the midst of subjugating the Gold-Eating Rat nest.
Although the achievements last night were remarkable, the casualties among the Undead were also significant.
After a night of fighting, two to three thousand Undead were lost, and the current total force was less than two thousand.
Excluding the five hundred left to guard the Red Iron Mine, the number of Undead attacking the Gold-Eating Rat nest was only about fifteen hundred.
However, one should not underestimate these fifteen hundred Undead; having survived a night of brutal warfare, they were all elites.
"Lead the way ahead. With my five thousand Undead Skeleton Soldiers added, we will surely be able to wipe out the Gold-Eating Rat tribe in one fell swoop!"
Qin Luo said sternly.
In order to continue mining the Red Iron Mine, this major hidden danger had to be eliminated.
Otherwise, if the Gold-Eating Rat tribe could attack once, they would certainly be able to attack a second or third time.
It would be fine if some Undead were lost, but if creatures like the Centaurs were to die, they could not be recruited with resources like troop units.
As Qin Luo and the others passed through the Red Iron Mine, they arrived at a series of narrow passages.
These passages were originally dug by the Gold-Eating Rats, so naturally, they were not very large.
Fortunately, the Undead who had entered earlier had expanded the passages, so they were now able to accommodate them.
