Chapter 177 I will give you all my wealth in exchange for your lonely city
On the big map, about 500 miles away, the red light spot representing the red-skinned monster suddenly stopped.
It was already night, Zhang Yang watched quietly. Behind him were thousands of troops. Thirty miles ahead, on a hill with excellent terrain, Zhang Liang had already set up an ambush position. Of course, he himself had disguised himself as a soldier and had long since hidden in the rear.
If the red-skinned monster dared to come, this ambush would make it pay the price, because during this period of time, Zhang Yang had mobilized all the extraordinary soldiers in the royal city in one breath.
There are a total of 12 heavily-armored Modao captains, 6 Feiyun archer guards, 5 palace guards, plus 6 Qingyun swordsmen and 30 giant siege crossbows. I don't believe that we can't kill that red-skinned monster.
But now it seems that this guy is still very cautious.
"I don't believe you can hold back. You're so close, would you be willing to retreat without getting any information?"
Zhang Yang looked calm on the surface, but he was quite annoyed on the inside. It was because he didn't have enough troops now, otherwise he would never let this bastard go! Finally, the red dot on the map moved, 300 miles, 200 miles, and finally 100 miles. The red-skinned monster was about to enter the ambush circle, but it actually began to wander. This was clearly teasing Zhang Yang.
“Fuck it!”
Zhang Yang couldn't help but release his soul force field to tell the red-skinned monster that it was me who killed your boss, the golden-skinned monster.
But in the end he held back.
For a full half hour, at the closest point, the red-skinned monster was eighty miles away, but this guy never rushed over and finally walked away.
By daybreak, the red-skinned monster had already run more than two thousand miles.
"My lord, this beast is here to scout the enemy's position. If he shows up again, it will be a large army approaching the city."
Zhang Liang's tone was heavy. The red-skinned monster's tricks could not be hidden from him.
Zhang Yang didn't say anything, but how could he not know?
"My lord, should we continue to build the road? Or should we hurry up and build some powerful city defense equipment? As long as the generals can persist in training the troops, the current difficulties will not be a problem."
Zhaozhou also suggested that although the old man looked calm, he was actually afraid of death, but his wisdom in surviving was more amazing.
"No, we must continue to repair the road. This is our best time to expand our layout. Otherwise, if we wait until the demon army comes to its senses, we will have no chance to repair the road. This road is the basis for our cavalry to carry out rapid maneuvers."
Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, Wu Ya's Iron Lion and Lei Ming's Heavy Armored Mo Dao Captain are the only two trump cards. No more are needed. Each of them has 500 people. With the help of the Level 6 Royal City, that is the trump card! They can fight out a ray of hope in a desperate situation.
And now, all he lacks is time to wait.
"My lord, what should we do if the enemies from the north attack again?" Zhang Liang asked unwillingly.
"It doesn't stand a chance. I'll take care of it myself!"
Zhang Yang said viciously that originally he just wanted to stay quiet for a year or two, and everyone kept out of each other's way, but since this red-skinned monster wanted to make trouble, then let's make trouble thoroughly.
After making all the arrangements, Zhang Yang didn't bother to check the complete village construction order and other gains, and went out alone.
The first thing he did next was to build an army of demons.
Zhang Yang rushed out a thousand miles in one breath without hiding anything. He rushed into a gathering place of Mirage Clan demons. Bang, bang, bang, he shook the soul ten times in one breath, knocking out all the Mirage Clan demons, big or small. Then he tied them up and cast the magic word on them one by one: heavy armor. He didn't care about quality, only quantity.
In just a few hours, he consumed 20 units of mana and exhausted his soul, but he also created 2,300 heavily armored demons in one go.
After resting for a few hours and recovering completely, he continued his operation of capturing strong demons. Moreover, this time with the help of the heavily armored demons, he didn't even need to release soul shock.
And so it goes on like a snowball.
In just four or five days, he swept through more than a dozen gathering places of the Mirage Clan demons and created 35,000 heavily-armored demons for himself in one go.
Some of these demons are only 80% as strong as regular heavy-armored demons, and some are only 60% as strong. But it doesn’t matter, numbers are the biggest advantage.
Anyway, Zhang Yang really gave it his all.
He led this mighty army of demons and swept through them all the way, using only his magic power and resources to clear a path. On the sixth day, he sensed the red-skinned monster.
Based on the opponent's position and the speed of movement on the map, he could be sure that the red-skinned monster was indeed leading a large army south to cause trouble.
But Zhang Yang just smiled grimly and did not try to intercept it, even though the red-skinned monster was only 800 miles away from his royal city and he could capture it with just one day's forced march.
But he didn't care, and led his army of demons to march northward in a mighty manner.
This is a clear attitude of wanting to change homes.
So an hour later, the red-skinned monster stopped moving south, because it had already built a level 4 royal city. It should have guessed that its competitor Zhang Yang might also be building a royal city, but because Zhang Yang had swallowed up the momentum after the completion of the level 6 royal city, it didn't know yet and just thought it hadn't been built yet.
That's different.
His level 4 royal city has been built and cannot be lost, while Zhang Yang's royal city is still under construction. No matter how you look at it, this tactic of exchanging homes is not cost-effective.
The red-skinned monster rushed back like crazy. Zhang Yang led the demon army to kill northward in a mighty manner, sweeping the gathering places of the Mirage Clan demons along the way. At this time, he occasionally let go of some seemingly smart Mirage Clan demon leaders, and intentionally or unintentionally created some clues that could be understood by them.
That's enough.
Three days later, the red-skinned monster brought its army back to its level 4 royal city overnight. In fact, it was about 4,000 miles north of Zhang Yang's royal city. It was really a good neighbor.
Zhang Yang was still about a thousand miles away from it at this time. He did not take the initiative to attack, but just plundered everywhere to expand his demon army.
At this time, he already had 50,000 heavily armored demons, and the mana consumed alone was nearly 300 units. Part of it was purified from the demon blood he decomposed, and part of it was the original resources.
It can be said that Zhang Yang is really going bankrupt this time.
But all these costs are worth it, because the commotion here is too loud and the Abyss Demons have already noticed it. Especially with the news released by the red-skinned monster before, the Abyss Demons will immediately guess that an enemy is building a royal city in their hometown, which is absolutely intolerable.
Half a month later, Zhang Yang's heavily armored demon army had reached 60,000 people, and he was completely bankrupt, but the effect was extremely good. The 60,000 demon army gathered like a dark cloud and slowly approached. On the one hand, it oppressed the red-skinned monster so much that it could only hide in its royal city and dare not move. On the other hand, it clearly pointed out the direction for the Abyss Demon Clan. Look, there is a level 4 royal city here, we should seize it——
Another half a month later, the red-skinned monster could no longer sit still. It tried to lead its troops to charge, but after seeing the lineup of 60,000 heavily armored demons, it retreated obediently.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The heavy-armored demons Zhang Yang created are just for show, looking good but not practical.
More than 60,000 extraordinary soldiers gathered together, anyone who saw them would be terrified, not to mention that the red-skinned monster was not a demon, so its specific background was unknown.
So the red-skinned monster was determined to defend the level 4 royal city. It used to be a powerful weapon, but unfortunately it has now become its cage, unless it is willing to give up. But giving up is not easy, as it has exhausted all its cards and resources, and now the game has entered its third year.
What can you use to fight back? What can you use to dominate? Are you going to admit defeat?
When Zhang Yang's 60,000 heavily-armored demons surrounded the red-skinned monster's level 4 royal city a hundred miles away, the Abyss Demons were also constantly exploring the situation. Among them, there were two latent demons who wanted to get close to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang didn't show up at all. Just kidding, if he showed up, I would be exposed.
But at least those hidden dragons of the demon clan have not yet become suspicious.
Time dragged on day by day, and then at the end of the second month, the first 5,000-man extraordinary demon army arrived and camped 50 miles south of Zhang Yang's camp, pretending that we are friendly forces, we support each other, and we fight side by side. Of course, Zhang Yang did not dare to make any rash plans, because his 60,000 fake heavy armored demon soldiers would not be able to be killed by the 5,000 extraordinary demons in one hour.
But this was not his doubt, because the demon army was also ranked by strength. Can you deny that they were not demons? They were clearly the most regular demons, so they were his own people.
In the middle of the third month, the second army of 10,000 demons arrived, but by this time Zhang Yang had already slipped away under the cover of darkness. In the entire battlefield, only the red-skinned monster knew that he had slipped away.
The red-skinned monster even wanted to lead his troops out of the city to launch a counterattack. This time he was really ruthless. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang's 60,000 magic soldiers did not move. The 15,000 regular demon army alone almost made it impossible for him to return. So he could only defend the fourth-level royal city and watched Zhang Yang escape. He escaped from the 3,000-mile sensing range in one day.
The redskins were finished, that was for sure.
The Level 4 Royal City was very powerful, but after all, it did not have enough time to develop. It was surrounded by 15,000 extraordinary demons and was watched by four demon dragons, so it could only defend it to the death.
But before Zhang Yang left, he promoted a very smart heavy-armored demon and made it the leader to fight with other demon legions. As a result, this fake legion really became a nightmare for the red-skinned monsters.
At the end of the third month, the third army of 5,000 extraordinary demons arrived and surrounded the red-skinned monsters' level 4 royal city from behind.
At this moment, the red-skinned monster finally wanted to abandon the level 4 royal city and escape, but before it could act, it was sensed that an abyss demon clan that had activated a state of war had locked it down three thousand miles away. It was useless for it to escape this time. This is the hinterland of the demon clan, the territory of the demon clan. You are trying to make trouble here, and you have been discovered by us and surrounded by us. Do you think we are little kids who can come and go as you please?
Do you know that in order to kill you, we had to give up part of the front battlefield?
The Abyss Demons are very angry, really very angry. A level 4 royal city, this is really too dangerous. Fortunately it was discovered early, otherwise if it was given a year to develop, the consequences would be disastrous.
Therefore, we must surround it with heavy troops, three layers inside and three layers outside.
In the end, a legion of nearly 100,000 demons took three months to rush back from the front line thousands of miles away, and unknowingly completed the siege of the red-skinned monster's level 4 king city. It was really an siege, ensuring that not a single demon rat could escape.
But at this time, seven months had passed.
There are only two months left for Wu Lei to train 500 Rock Heavy Steps, and only four months left for Lei Ming to train 500 Flying Cloud Arrow Guards.
Wu Ya, who had gone out to buy the Iron Lion mount, had returned two months ago and brought back 500 Suanni beasts. The most important conditions for forming the Iron Lion field heavy cavalry were now in place.
This is a terrifying existence equivalent to a field tank.
The training time of Iron Lion is much shorter, only four months, because the most important thing for Iron Lion soldiers is the mount, and a powerful mount can increase the combat effectiveness several times.
Therefore, it will only take another two months for Zhang Yang to have 500 Iron Lion field heavy cavalry.
It seems stable.
