Chapter 3364

After Caesar delivered 6,000 units of active ore, he hurried away. This guy had split 4,000 units of active ore and was definitely going to fence the goods, using these 4,000 units of active ore as chips to get benefits for bringing out of this world.

Su Xiao wouldn't participate in this kind of profit. To him, the active ore consumed now was an investment. Once the faction he built was strong enough to sweep away enemies, he would be able to obtain even richer returns.

The method Caesar was using now brought returns faster compared to Su Xiao's method of developing a faction, but if Su Xiao succeeded, the returns he obtained would be several times more than Caesar's.

Caesar didn't know how to invest? Not investing the obtained active ore into Su Xiao? That wasn't it. Caesar was urgently summoned. Under the circumstances where he couldn't guarantee the progress of the entire world with Su Xiao, of course, he would grab what he could.

This kind of short-term cooperation was the best way for both sides. During the cooperation period, there was no superior-subordinate relationship between Su Xiao and Caesar. Don't look at Caesar's often lewd appearance of rubbing his hands and smiling slyly; he wouldn't submit to others.

When Caesar did things, he had his own ideas and methods. Su Xiao never interfered with this. He only wanted the result. It was the same on Caesar's side. Since their first cooperation a long time ago, Caesar had never interfered with Su Xiao's decisions. At most, when risks appeared, they would remind each other, stopping at the point, and never pointing fingers.

Often after cooperation, Su Xiao and Caesar would each be busy with their own things, and only contact each other when there was something. When encountering particularly hard bones, they would work together to take down the enemy.

The night wind in the second half of the night was cool. Caesar walked slowly out of the Doomsday Fortress. He held his stomach with his hand, had a toothpick in his mouth, and after a burp, got into an old-fashioned car. The driver was a boar-headed man; this was a new bodyguard Caesar had found.

As long as Su Xiao said he was treating him to a meal, Caesar's stomach would immediately strengthen significantly. As the saying goes, everything below the neck is a stomach. If he really couldn't eat it, he would pack it up and take it away.

Watching the retro version of the old-fashioned car drive away along the gravel road under the mountain wall, Su Xiao turned back into the fortress.

He stopped in front of a wall with a circular giant metal mouth. He opened the team storage space, and the active ore inside poured out, falling into the giant metal mouth that was stirring like a mixer, being quickly crushed.

Su Xiao let the fortress swallow 3,000 units of active ore, and the active energy stored in the fortress reached 311,250 points. He took out the fortress core and chose to upgrade the fortress.

【Yes/No to upgrade the Doomsday Fortress.】

【To upgrade this mobile fortress to T2 rank, a total of 26,000 points of active energy is required.】

【To upgrade this mobile fortress to T0 rank, a total of 200,000 points of active energy is required.】

Regarding the two upgrade methods, after Su Xiao checked the detailed information, he learned that if following the normal process, upgrading step by step from T3 to T0, a total of 176,000 points of active energy was required.

Su Xiao now had a choice: upgrade the Doomsday Fortress directly to T0 rank. As the price, he had to pay an extra 24,000 points of active energy.

This didn't need consideration. Although it would consume more active energy, this shortened the time required for three upgrades into one. It was expected that this upgrade would be completed by tomorrow morning.

【The fortress is about to undergo a metamorphosis. Because this promotion is of a large scale, please do not use the Evolution Nest, active ore crude conversion device, etc., during this time.】

Before the fortress began its metamorphosis, Su Xiao converted the active energy inside back into active ore through the fortress.

A moment later, Su Xiao collected all the active ore into the team storage space and stepped toward the top floor of the fortress.

Returning to the command center, Su Xiao began to sort out the subsequent plans. He still had 4,000 units of active ore left. This windfall must be utilized well; the opportunity to rise was only this once.

First, 1,000 units of active ore must be reserved. Simply producing troops was useless. Although wild boar warriors were level-3 troop types that combined some Zerg genes, that didn't allow them to be born with weapons like Demon Beasts.

The "Combat Instinct (Lv. MAX)" ability of wild boar warriors meant their initial combat power wasn't weak, but they were still transformed from boar-headed men. They had thick skin and were durable, but their only means of attack was a pickaxe. After producing too many troops, they couldn't even hold pickaxes and could only punch with their fists.

To have the ability to wage war against the Kin, the wild boar warriors must have weapons. Firearms in this world didn't need to be considered. They were indeed useful in war, but the wild boar warriors couldn't use them at all. Trying to train them in a short time was even more of a fantasy.

In this way, charging into close combat with cold weapons was the only choice, and this was also Su Xiao's most habitual method.

Morale +70 points, all real attributes +20 points, maximum health increased by 45%, physical defense +30 points, all ability levels increased by Lv. 10, Blood Soul Power (passive Lv. 55+10). These buffs of the War Lord were applied, and then with a single order, all wild boar warriors would charge forward. This was Su Xiao's 'tactics.'

It wasn't that he didn't want to arrange troops, but unless it was the Zerg type, it was impossible to do so. Assuming he commanded 300,000 wild boar warriors to fight the enemy, Su Xiao could only give one order throughout: "Start the war, charge forward," and then that was it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Let alone hundreds of thousands of wild boar warriors, even if hundreds of wild boar warriors were in a melee with the enemy, it was very difficult to command.

Unless every 10–12 people were a small squad, each squad had a squad leader, and then it went up level by level, and there was perfect wartime communication equipment, the commander could effectively command.

Every time he developed, Su Xiao would give an order and then sit and wait. If he won, he won. If he was going to lose, he could consider throwing 【Sun's Fury: Apollo】 at the enemy.

If that still didn't work, he could take advantage of the melee between the two armies, when the enemy's main force was pinned down, and Su Xiao would go to the enemy's rear to find the enemy commander. Su Xiao had done this before.

Su Xiao had never worried about command problems. Since it was determined that he couldn't arrange troops, he gave up treatment and used the group fight tactic to meet all the enemy's arrangements.

This kind of 'tactics' had a characteristic: once the enemy's troops were frustrated, the enemy commander's heart would definitely suffer real critical damage. The thought was basically: "I actually lost to this kind of dog-shit tactic?"

There were not a few enemy commanders who became autistic because of this. Among the representatives was the Great General of the Peru Dwarf Kingdom in the Sand Emperor world, Spring Iron Sheep. This guy was the most severely autistic. By the later stage of the fight, this guy was hammered to the point of being particularly unconfident.

The group fight tactic had a particularly hardcore requirement: the individual strength of the soldier-type units must be stronger than the opposite side.

Although weapons couldn't be sloppy, forging a large number of weapons in a short time wasn't something that could be done at the current stage. Let alone going to Free City to find someone to forge hundreds of thousands of weapons, even if he forged thousands, in less than 10 minutes, people from the "Sentry Tower" would come to the door to invite him for tea.

In this regard, Su Xiao had long been prepared. The three major powers—"Sentry Tower," "Aurora Council," and "Kin Alliance"—would regularly change weapons, combat uniforms, etc., for their respective soldiers. They were only in a truce with the Human race and might go to war again in the future.

Su Xiao had no interest in things like changed combat uniforms. He was very interested in the Kin's second-hand standard cold weapons.

The Kin's metal cells destined their physical defense not to be weak. The avatars condensed by the Human race with soul and biological active metal were also often used for close combat. Many people simply used the avatar as a metal battle armor, wearing it on their bodies to significantly improve survival and close combat strength.

From this, one could imagine that the standard cold weapons on the Kin side must have their unique features.

Looking at the time, it was already 2:00 AM. Su Xiao took out the communicator and adjusted the frequency to D4/55624, thereby dialing through.

After a while, the communication was established, and Su Xiao spoke:

"Li Xiniwei, haven't seen you for a few days. Have you gained a firm foothold in the Judgment Office?"

"Not yet. Where do you think this is? This is the Judgment Office. The water is very deep."

Li Xiniwei's tone was quite cold, obviously awakened from a dream.

"Then prepare your funeral arrangements."

"What kind of joke are you making..."

Without waiting for Li Xiniwei to finish speaking, with a click, Su Xiao hung up the phone.

In the dim room, Baja on the back of the chair not far away opened its eyes and asked: "Boss, what should we do?"

"Slaughter him, dispose of the body cleanly. Entangling with the Judgment Office at this stage will be very troublesome."

"Understood."

Just as Baja was about to enter the different space, the communicator on the table in front of Su Xiao vibrated slightly, and the blue indicator light on it flickered. It was Li Xiniwei calling back.

Su Xiao picked up the communication and didn't speak.

"I wasn't quite awake just now. I'm awake now. My situation here is not bad. That old vampire has been eliminated by me."

"..."

"Hey, say something. You wouldn't... really intend to eliminate me, would you?"

"How is that possible? I was just joking with you just now."

As Su Xiao spoke, he raised his hand to signal Baja not to go for now. Li Xiniwei was still useful.
