Chapter 2399

The reason Su Xiao killed this dry monster is very simple. If the war could be stopped so easily, the mission difficulty would not be as high as lv. 63.

Gelu is using an open scheme. On the surface, he is asking the Council Hall to hand over the secret art master who has not yet lost the secret pattern, but in reality, he is provoking the relationship between Su Xiao and the Council Hall.

Some things, Su Xiao knows, and Gelu also knows, which is that the existence of Misfortune Town must never be revealed to the outside.

Councilor Rose, Councilor Frost Snake, and the Leiman King all do not know about the existence of Misfortune Town. The intelligence they know was left by Emperor Okaz and is very limited.

What Emperor Okaz did in Misfortune Town was not glorious. It can be seen from the sin-confessor kneeling outside Misfortune Town.

Gelu is still missing a few secret patterns and hasn't collected them all. The other party said he is only missing one; there is no need to believe it at all.

After Gelu collects these secret patterns, the day of Ango City's destruction will arrive. Gelu was chilled by those in power, so he sought out the Hyena Wolf Clan and cooperated with them.

On the surface, the Hyena Wolf Clan also suffered heavy casualties, almost to the point of extinction, but in reality, this is not the case. Several large families of the Hyena Wolf Clan should have withdrawn long ago.

Gelu obtained support from resources and powerful combat power from the Hyena Wolf Clan, thereby implementing the Empire Destruction Plan. As a reward, when Ango City is completely destroyed, this continent will belong to the Hyena Wolf Clan. At that time, a new civilization will be established, a civilization belonging to the Hyena Wolf Clan, a civilization that will never touch secret patterns and will never look for Misfortune Town.

Su Xiao is unclear whether his speculation is accurate, but he is certain of one point: Gelu will definitely bring the dry monsters to attack. This is an unavoidable situation.

The dry monster controlled by Gelu just died, and the Leiman King strode toward Su Xiao. Irritable, iron-blooded, this is the Leiman King.

"If you don't want to be used by Elvis Gelu, don't have conflicts with Bai Ye."

Councilor Rose's tone was flat. Hearing her words, the Leiman King snorted coldly and walked out of the basement.

Behind the Leiman King, the young girl with a blue-purple ponytail blinked at Su Xiao and raised her shoulder. This is Nancy Erna. That means she is an officer now, kicked out, powerful, right?

Leaving the basement, Su Xiao checked the mission list. The mission time limit is still 9 days and 7 hours. That is to say, he must ensure that Ango City is not completely destroyed before the mission time limit. Being broken through doesn't matter, but it cannot be destroyed by more than 80%; otherwise, the mission will fail.

Returning to the two-story small building, Su Xiao found a room and fell asleep. For the next few days, he didn't know how long he could rest.

The busiest in Ango City now is the Chidorman Company. Steam technology is no longer important. Their task now is to find craftsmen and forge cold weapons in large quantities.

Estimating by the number of steam cores, after a few hours of full-scale war, the steam cores will be exhausted, and steam weapons will become fire sticks. Plus, there are 900,000 soldiers in Ango City, and steam weapons are not enough to distribute at all.

At this time, a decision needs to be made: whether to use steam cores to drive steam weapons, which will be exhausted after a few hours of war, or to use steam cores to drive large machinery, smelt high-strength metal, and forge cold weapons and armor.

The principle of eating one's fill and eating one's fill every meal is understood by Councilor Frost Snake, Councilor Rose, and the Leiman King. The three of them made a decision long ago to seal all steam weapons in the underground city, use steam cores to drive large machinery, and forge cold weapons. When the steam cores are exhausted, the large machinery of the Chidorman Company will also become scrap iron, forcibly exiting the stage of history.

This world was just about to enter the steam age, but was beaten back to the cold weapon age by Gelu. This is very interesting. Gelu's purpose is secret patterns, but the first to exit the stage of history is actually extraordinary steam technology. Things are unpredictable.

Amidst the roar of large machinery in the distance, Su Xiao fell asleep. I don't know how long he slept, but he was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Kukulin, come downstairs for breakfast."

Puri's shouting came from outside the door. Su Xiao sat up from the bed in a daze, washed up, and went downstairs.

Sitting at the dining table, Su Xiao discovered that the street was much quieter. It should be that all civilians had been sent to the underground city below, letting them live in peace in the underground city.

The roar of large machinery that had been roaring endlessly also stopped. The first few batches of cold weapons should have been forged, ready to deal with the monsters that could attack at any time.

A murderous atmosphere filled Ango City. The soldiers were beaten too miserably last time, abandoned their homes and fled to Ango City. This time, they could finally fight head-on with those monsters.

Boom!

A roar came. The bread Su Xiao was about to send to his mouth stopped. The sound source was not far from the two-story small building, just a few hundred meters away.

Rushing out of the two-story small building, Su Xiao saw a giant in the distance. Its height was at least more than 12 meters, its whole body was dry tree bark, and its head was wearing a rusty metal hood, used to block its vision.

Behind the tree giant was a very short dwarf monster, tied to the back of the tree giant's neck, controlling the tree giant through several conduits on its body.

"Roar!"

The tree giant roared, its eyes were covered, and it could only wave its arms wildly, destroying nearby buildings.

"Lord Gelu has an order, you humble guys, go to the east of the city and take away your cubs and women, otherwise they will be rations, hehehahahaha."

The dwarf monster laughed wildly. This represents one thing, which is that these dry monsters are not all without sanity. This is bad news.

"Lord Gelu is supreme!"

With a bang, the tree giant and the dwarf monster shattered, turning into large pieces of broken wood.

Su Xiao looked at the large pieces of broken wood falling. Gelu's move had completely revealed the style of an old schemer.

When Gelu attacked the four kingdoms, he did not kill them all, but captured a large number of women, children, and the elderly.

At this moment, there are 1,170,000 people in Ango City, including more than 900,000 soldiers and around 270,000 civilians. The number of soldiers is three times that of civilians.

More importantly, these soldiers are not afraid of death. They think they have lost their loved ones, but now, Gelu has sent a large batch of women, children, and the elderly. When he attacked the four kingdoms, he did not kill them all, but let the dry monsters capture a large batch of people.

These people were sent to Ango City, and the food and fresh water needed every day are problems. They also need residences, etc.

Councilor Rose and Councilor Frost Snake don't take these people in? Stop joking. Among these women and children, there might be the loved ones of the soldiers. If they refuse to take them in, they will immediately mutiny. There is no other result.

"Let you win one step."

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. Previously in Ango City, he won against Gelu once, and in the second round, Gelu won a small victory.

Su Xiao rushed to the east of the city, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha following closely behind.

Arriving at the east of the city, Su Xiao stood on a three-story building at the edge of the city. In the distance, a black tide surged, all of which were dry monsters.

"Damn, there are quite a few enemies, Boss."

Baha swooped down from the sky and landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also seemed to want to jump onto Su Xiao's shoulder and have a left-right symmetry with Baha. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ignored a very important point, which is that a long time ago, Su Xiao often rode him to run away. What is his body size? Sometimes he forgets it himself, always thinking he is very small.

Su Xiao took out the Apostle's Eye and started detecting.

【Comparing intelligence attributes of both sides... Comparison complete, 100% of enemy data obtained.】

Name: Wood Kin (has devoured each other twice)

Category: Dead Wood characteristics, erosion, semi-madness.

Health: 100%

Life Force: 1813/1813 points

Strength: 118 (True Attribute)

Agility: 97

Stamina: 120 (True Attribute)

Intelligence: 12

Charisma: 1

Skill 1, Twisted Life (Passive, lv. 38): Health +3200 points, blunt damage reduced by 21%, fire resistance -28 points.

Skill 2, Rebirth (Passive, lv. 42): After being eroded by the 'Ancient God's Seed', the Wood Kin who were reborn are followers of the Ancient God, and also betrayers.

Prompt: Cannot resist the will of an Ancient God of the Seventh Tier or above, and has already developed self-consciousness.

Skill 3, Wood Life (Passive, lv. 31): The skin of the Wood Kin is extremely tough, physical defense +53 points, health +600 points, body surface defaults to armor-type defense.

Skill 4, Forsaken Clan (Passive,): Can grow by devouring their own kind.

Prompt: This Wood Kin has grown twice, maximum five times, each growth has a 0.012% probability of transforming into a stronger individual.

Seeing this data, Su Xiao determined the characteristics of the dry monsters, which are the Wood Kin. These are not mindless monsters, nor are they a type of living corpse. These are living things, living things that were reborn after being eroded by the Ancient God's energy.

Wood Kin can devour each other to improve individual strength. That is to say, the Wood Kin controlled by Gelu are not as many as imagined. Batch after batch devouring each other, survival of the fittest, the combat power of the remaining Wood Kin will not be weak, and the number will not be exaggeratedly large.
