Chapter 208: Multi-line Investigation
God Bo has a strong aggressiveness and desire for expansion. Once He conquers the Kingdom of Wuji, the next step will definitely be to investigate the apostles who died in the overlapping area.
The successive loss of three apostles is a huge loss for any god.
Without a channel, the gods and their apostles cannot enter the fragment world, but they can do some tricks, just like the Whistleblower, releasing some harmful species to disgust people.
Don't wait until the enemy punches you in the face before you try to fight back.
Lu Yao decided to take the initiative to join the battle and eliminate the God of Bo first.
Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
He asked Salina about the relevant matters in detail.
Bo Shen is a genuine god, fundamentally different from an apprentice god. Lu Yao's past experience in fighting gods is no longer applicable here.
Salina thought for a while and said, "The gods have four abilities: building temples and totems, drifting in the kingdom of God, ranking among the gods, and shaping the body of God."
The shrine is the advanced version of the statue, which can accommodate other statues and gain deity status.
Totems are an extension of miracles, and different gods can create different totems. Totems will better protect believers and produce some incredible special effects.
Drifting in the Kingdom of God means that the gods and their world officially enter the crawling zone and begin their drifting journey in the dimension space.
During this process, the gods can adjust the drifting direction of the kingdom of God, or they can burn the power of faith to drive the entire kingdom of God forward faster.
However, since the target of the action is a world - even if the Kingdom of God is only a part of the fragmented world, it still requires a lot of faith to slowly push it forward and compete with the power of the world dimension. This is also the origin of the crawling area.
For most of the kingdoms of God, drifting is the norm. Only when they encounter danger will the gods burn with faith and drive their kingdoms to evade and turn quickly.
To be listed in the Pantheon means to leave one's own name in the Pantheon, and from then on to have a ranking among the gods. The ranking is related to divinity and divine body.
The best among them will be recruited by the main gods and title gods to become their subordinate gods.
Finally, the gods will be able to create a body of God. In their own kingdom, they can go anywhere in an instant.
Lu Yao summarized it as: grouping, rowing, ranking and building a small account.
What reassured him was that the gods had no real control over their own world. Even rowing a boat was difficult for them. They had no ability to edit the world through the backend like [Golden Plains].
The gods are like sailing a clumsy little sailboat, searching for new worlds in the ever-changing sea.
Most of the time they were drifting, avoiding dangerous ships and turbulence.
Sometimes, they would engage in boarding battles with each other, like the Boshen Realm and the Uji Kingdom, where the winner takes all and the loser perishes.
In this process, the strong will stand out and be recruited by stronger title gods or even main gods. From then on, they will have an organization and strong support, and can grow further and more steadily.
The titled gods basically adopt a laissez-faire approach to their subordinate gods in order to unleash the growth potential of every kingdom of God and each subordinate god.
There is also a disadvantage to this, that is, the gods who remain relatively independent will find it difficult to get timely rescue from the title gods when they are in trouble. Only when the righteous gods launch a large-scale war of gods will all the subordinate gods be recruited and gathered together.
That is to say, Bo Shen is now alone.
…
After figuring out the overall situation of the gods, the next step is to focus on the god Bo.
Lu Yao jumped his perspective to the war front.
The little men of the Fearless Empire were arranged in neat square formations. They wore uniform chain mail, carried large round shields, held spears or bows, and advanced steadily under the command of their officers.
The imperial army had a clear division of labor. There were mounted scouts who were responsible for exploring the surrounding areas, shieldmen and spearmen on the front line, archers protected in the middle, and many militiamen in the rear who were responsible for baggage. Mules carried bags of food, forming a long transport team.
The entire battlefield was dispatched calmly and orderly.
Among them, there is also a large extraordinary creature [Sand Lizard].
…
[Sand Lizard LV12]
HP: 343/ 343Mana: 1/ 1Damage: 10Defense : 15Speed : 5 [Thick Skin]
Innately has higher health points.
【Sense of smell】
A keen sense of smell can detect the enemy's traces.
【endurance】
They can maintain long-term and long-distance movement when hungry, thirsty, loaded or injured, and have excellent endurance.
…
The combat panel of sand lizards is mediocre, but after continuous domestication and training, they have become cooperative combat creatures that are very suitable for the needs of the army.
Some sand lizards have a large crossbow installed on their backs. Soldiers can string the crossbow and shoot thick arrows, which can destroy the ground stone forts built by the Uji people from a long distance.
Lu Yao looked to the other side again.
Compared to the empire, the Kingdom of Uji is a bit lame.
First of all, the Wuji people relied on throwing stones to fight - yes, this made Lu Yao stunned.
At first, the stones they threw were not ordinary either. They were a special kind of weapon that would break into pieces once they hit the ground, causing an explosion.
However, the explosion was very weak, difficult to make, and few in number, so more imperial soldiers were injured by the stones.
So the Wuji people simply changed their strategy and used stones directly. Stones did not need to be processed, they were everywhere, and there was plenty to satisfy them. The Wuji people were quite strong and could throw stones from a long distance.
But this range is completely incomparable to that of bows and arrows and sand lizard crossbows.
The arrows of the Imperial Army were usually on fire, and would ignite when they touched the black mud on the Uji people's bodies, allowing them to come into contact with moisture from the outside, causing an explosion.
The large crossbow arrows fired by the Sand Lizard Crossbow can directly penetrate the bodies of the Wuji people, causing them to explode immediately.
In addition, the Wuji people have a special tactic of warfare, which is to use land boats.
The ground-moving ships would drill holes underground, causing the ground to collapse, thus hindering the imperial army's march and causing casualties.
However, with the scouts' constant exploration, this ambush gradually became ineffective.
Lu Yao observed for a long time.
Judging from the battlefield performance, the Fearless Empire's attack on the Uji Kingdom was indeed a dimensionality reduction attack. The former was obviously experienced, knew when to advance and retreat, and was in firm control of the situation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The latter is desperately trying to find ways to slow down the pace of the former, but its land and population are constantly being eroded.
If the Empire didn't want to suffer too much loss, they would have crushed us all the way here long ago.
…
Lu Yao looked further away.
The previous batch of 11 Wuji people had been placed by Isabel deep underground next to the northern dragon's nest, and asked to wait for a while. With the troll elders of the dragon's nest watching over them, there was no need to worry about any problems.
After completing all this, Isabel turned back and sneaked into the heart of the empire.
The Uzi are more scattered, usually each in their own space, the ground is always dangerous for them, and there is only one decent city so far.
Now the Earth Boat is like their house, and they can move it at any time. Calling it a kingdom is a bit of an exaggeration, it is more like a loose underground tribe.
The population on the Fearless Empire side is highly concentrated.
They also only have one city, which is the capital, Crystal City. All towns and villages are centered around this giant imperial capital, with it as the absolute core.
Looking down from above, in the U-shaped Glass God Realm, Crystal City is at the absolute center, surrounded by circles of roads and villages spreading outward.
Isabel learned two spells using [Spell Guessing].
One is the [Shapeshifting] of the tree demon Jyoti, which can change one's appearance to facilitate lurking and gathering intelligence; the other is the [Flame Rush] of the giant scaly-horned gastropod snail. This fire spell can also burn the opponent's magic power, and has a good effect in actual combat.
She entered the outskirts of Crystal City, disguised as a mute old woman begging.
Through observation and listening, Isabel first learned the local language, then gradually changed into different identities, and through various means, she understood the current situation of the empire.
Isabel reported: "Sir, the total population of the Fifth Fearless Empire is about 320,000, of which 70,000 are soldiers. 40,000 of the soldiers are militia and auxiliary troops used for reserve and logistics, and the remaining 30,000 are regular troops."
Lu Yao thought silently, the soldiers accounted for more than 20% of the population, and the resettlement and food wages of these soldiers alone would be a huge expense every day.
At the imperial level, the biggest hidden danger is logistics.
Isabel continued, "Before the war, the Empire had already declared a state of war, and all food and supplies were focused on the soldiers on the front line."
"The grain from the farmlands in the rear will be collected by the Empire, and every farmer and merchant will be given a wartime collection price, and war coupons will be issued as a supplement."
"The same is true for industries such as cotton, linen, and mining."
"Once the war is over, the Empire will cash in the war profits through war coupons to compensate the civilians who made contributions in the rear during the war."
"The Empire has always operated this way, so civilians often go hungry during wars, but as long as the war doesn't last long, it's tolerable."
"If they really can't get enough to eat, civilians will choose to join the army and go to the front lines, and soldiers will be less likely to go hungry."
"The Empire is already accustomed to wartime mobilization, and many of them are eager for war, because war is the key to ordinary people getting rich and promoted."
"According to the records of the Empire, the last war took place more than 200 years ago. Therefore, this war between the gods of the two worlds has made many soldiers of the Empire very excited."
Isabel paused as dialog boxes continued to pop up above her head.
"The temple of the God Bo is in Crystal City. The chief apostle Soter is now the emperor of the Fifth Empire. The God Bo has almost always stayed in the temple. In addition, every village around has built an altar to provide the fire of faith for the God Bo."
"On the level of supernatural power, Crystal City raises sand lizards. God Bo hates supernatural species that do not obey his orders. It is said that all supernatural life in the wild has been completely exterminated by the apostles."
An idea popped into Lu Yao's mind.
After repeated deductions, he felt that his idea was feasible.
…
Half an hour later, Lu Yao came back from outside with a small plastic box.
He rubbed his hands and sat in front of the computer.
Lu Yao put on a pair of rubber gloves and took an insect out of the small box.
This is the vanguard of this operation.
