Chapter 244 The Hidden Dark Beast Tribe
[Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen such a handsome aura in a dark beast.]
[I want a pair of shoes like this too! Please put them on the shelves soon!]
[Three heads and six arms, riding on hot wheels, etc. Why does this setting seem so familiar? ]
[This is the first time I know that the disgusting facehugger can be used like this. Next time I see a facehugger, I won't rush to kill it.]
There were a lot of jokes and everyone was in a relaxed mood. This time, humans had a huge advantage in terms of winning rate, so they were in the mood to joke around.
But there are also people who analyze seriously and discuss it continuously.
[Wei Huan is taking people out right now? Is this a special operation?]
Will this affect large-scale military operations? What do military experts say?
I think this is correct. Wei Huan should be assigned to special operations. Keeping him in the group army is a waste of talent.
"As expected of my Brother Wei, you're truly formidable. While others have just entered the arena and are still familiarizing themselves with the situation, your aggressive charge will surely catch the Dark Beast completely off guard. Others would be deadlocked if they charged in at this point, but I believe our Brother Wei will definitely be able to gain an advantage."
[I'm already looking forward to Dark Beast's confused face. ]
[Look forward to +1]
[Looking forward to it, but unfortunately due to the fog of war, I can't see what's happening on the Dark Beast side.]
"This is perfectly normal. If it were visible, the information would have been leaked. This is the first time I'm thankful for this setting; otherwise, our sneak attack would have been ineffective."
【Keep going! Keep recruiting!】
[Awesome! The undead army keeps pouring out all the way here. I've been watching for a long time, and they haven't finished yet.]
[This is just the beginning. I heard that Wei Huan's army of running wolves exceeds 50,000. Even if ten portals can simultaneously release 30 per second, it will take a while for all 50,000 to emerge.]
I used to wish the battlefield were bigger, giving us more room to maneuver our troops. Now, for the first time, I feel like this battlefield is a bit too big.
The battlefield is indeed a bit big.
Wei Huan had already completed the deployment of the Undead Legion, but the journey was less than halfway completed.
It seemed that the undead army was summoned a little early, and the long-awaited opening battle finally began, making him a little excited.
But it doesn't matter.
Normally, when adventuring in the world of challenge, the undead are always released to guard the chariots, but the slightly slower Xiu Rome is not released during non-wartime.
Wei Huan was too lazy to make corrections, and simply ordered Dian Ma to release some more female earth beasts, and let the less than 10,000 running wolves that had just been released get on their backs, solving the problem of insufficient movement speed.
The wolf was half-dead in the sea water, but that wasn't a big problem.
Because the Dark Beasts are not an aquatic race, they are also not adapted to sea water.
Since both sides have been weakened, rounding up means that their combat effectiveness is equal, and the Wolf Run is equally effective on such a battlefield.
He stopped and released the running wolves, letting them sit on the back shell of the female ground beast, which was nicknamed "troop carrier" by the audience in the live broadcast room. Wei Huan ordered the housekeeper to speed up a little.
It was marching at a speed that was almost at the ceiling of the fourth-level tank.
Among the thousand chariots, only 220 are level five, and the rest are level four.
There is no way around it. Humanity has only been in the fifth-level world for less than a year, and the opening battle of the sixth-level world has begun.
Before Wei Huan entered, the pioneering army was slow in acquiring materials. If Wei Huan had not later "plowed the land" in the level six world, humans would have even fewer level five vehicles than they do now.
Besides, we can’t assign them all to him, as other legions also need level 5 vehicles as their main combat force.
The entry-level fourth-level vehicle has a speed of only 800 kilometers per hour. After upgrading several speed-related components, it can reach a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour. This speed is not as fast as Wei Huan's usual plowing speed.
But the fourth-level vehicle is useful. It cannot be used to attack the city, but it can be used to transport people.
According to the official analysis of Wei Huan’s past battles, although the undead army’s siege of the city seemed spectacular, it was actually the assault team that “airdropped” into the city that played a decisive role.
Therefore, this time the official has arranged a large number of special forces crew members who are suitable for going deep behind enemy lines. They will directly enter the Dark Beast City to fight.
Fighting close combat and going deep behind enemy lines is a very dangerous task, but if everyone is afraid of death and dares not do it, the war will be lost.
This battle is of vital importance and we must win even if there are sacrifices.
In the one thousand chariots behind him, there were more than eighty thousand soldiers who followed Wei Huan with the belief that they would die.
On the screen in front of Wei Huan, there appeared densely packed communication avatars of more than a thousand people. They were the captains of each tank, driving their vehicles, closely following Wei Huan's tank, waiting for the latest orders.
But it was obvious that Wei Huan was not someone who liked to use words to mobilize morale. The command channel was very quiet throughout the whole process. The only sounds he could hear were his own heavy heartbeat and his increasingly rapid breathing.
We are getting closer to the dark beast’s territory.
Wei Huan didn't know which royal family he would face, nor did he know what the other party's abilities were. This unknown danger was like opening a blind box to him.
It would be great if I could face the Dark Beast King directly.
He was confident that he could kill the Level 5 Dark Beast King. Killing the Dark Beast King would cause chaos among the Dark Beast Tribe, and the Human Race would easily win the subsequent battles.
What a pity...
Finally, the fog of war broke through and they arrived at the territory of the Dark Beast Lord.
They faced the first wave of low-level troops who were hastily dispatched after receiving the news.
Wei Huan saw his enemy clearly from the eyes of the Demon Eye Lord who was walking 30 kilometers ahead.
He had recruited a large number of snakemen when he was fighting against the third-level Dark Beast Lord. These snakemen had a snake head, a human body, a snake tail, and four arms. They were a very powerful type of soldier.
If a human challenger of the same level were surrounded by three or five of these soldiers, it would probably be difficult to deal with them.
The most important thing is that these snake people are poisonous. As long as you are bitten by their claws or teeth, or even fight with them for a long time, or inhale the poisonous mist they spray, you will be poisoned and experience blood loss, slowness, hallucinations, etc.
It is understood that in PVE, it is one of the most popular types of soldiers to recruit in the early stages of the Dark Beast Lord.
However, after reaching the fourth level of lord, there will be a new and more cost-effective type of soldier: Medusa, and low-level snake talents will be eliminated.
Wei Huan looked at the countless snake men coming towards him, but he was not happy.
Did I accidentally stumble into a low-level territory?
Could it be that this time, the Dark Beast Royal Family would block the low-level Dark Beast Lords in front?
Soon, Wei Huan found that he was right.
Faced with the sudden rise of the human race, the Dark Beast Clan, which had always seemed at ease and extremely arrogant, actually chose to defend this time?
There was no need for the army of challengers brought by Wei Huan to take action. The level 5 ghost crows and level 5 face huggers he sent to the front were enough to easily kill these level 3 snakemen.
After the snake people were killed, their highly poisonous blood flowed in the sea water, polluting the entire sea water into red. Wei Huan also realized the other party's plan.
That's right, not only are the snakemen highly cost-effective, they also have a mobility advantage in the sea. Furthermore, these snakemen have the ability to pollute the seawater. If this accidentally works and poisons some human challengers, the Dark Beastmen will profit.
The Dark Beast Clan is in contact with the deep sea world for the first time and is unable to understand its rules. They are currently using their low-level tribesmen for trial and error.
This is truly something that the Dark Beast King can do in the Hive Mode.
Such temptation cannot be said to be completely ineffective.
At least it was determined that the enemy who rushed up at this time was Wei Huan.
And in the face of the undead army, poison attacks are ineffective.
As for many other things... I can only say that in the face of absolute combat power, all means are useless.
Wei Huan's undead army ran right in front of the wave after wave of troops sent out by the Dark Beast Lord.
Soon, the city wall that looked obviously "fragile" appeared in front of Wei Huan.
The city wall, less than five meters high, faces him, and has only five watchtowers upgraded to level four.
There were three ranged heroes of unknown levels, one was human and the other two were unknown demons, who attacked them "fearlessly".
There is no trace of the Dark Beast Lord. I guess he is hiding somewhere and continuing to train his troops.
The Dark Beasts knew how to be afraid, but under the influence of the hive mind, if the order came from the royal family to hold on, they would never flee.
Even if it comes from biological instinct, they are afraid of death, but the will of the royal family is still above everything else.
Faced with the territory which was only level three as expected, Wei Huan did not feel happy at all, but instead frowned.
The headquarters in the rear also synchronized his images and information. Commander Dong, who was paying close attention to this area, said, "It seems that the Dark Beast has also realized the change in the situation and changed its strategy. Our reconnaissance vehicles haven't arrived yet, but you have seen the latest intelligence."
Commander Chai frowned. "The longer it takes, the more familiar they will become with the environment. These Dark Beast Lords outside are just cannon fodder. Killing more of them won't affect the Dark Beasts' combat effectiveness."
Wei Huan thought of something and contacted Jacques: "Jacques, can you see farther?"
Jacques nodded. "I just took a look and the area within 50 miles is all level three territory. We can go deeper and take a look."
Commander Chai also heard it, and when he spoke, he asked Commander Dong: "Commander, should our army press forward? To crush the cannon fodder in front as quickly as possible?"
Commander Dong chatted with the staff officers around him for a few minutes and said, "I've already shared the latest military intelligence with the legions of other countries, but you must be cautious about changing your plans. The Dark Beasts won't remain passive forever. Once a large army sets out, it's difficult to turn back. For the current battle, I believe special operations should be the primary focus until we have more information and can then determine a strategy."
Commander Chai nodded and said nothing more.
While Wei Huan was listening, the territory that was blocking their way had already been pushed away.
In Wei Huan's eyes, the third-level territory was not even a steamed bun. At least a steamed bun still had a lump of dough after being kneaded. But this territory was just a piece of tofu. It would be crushed to pieces without even a little effort.
As the lord's hall was destroyed and the territory quickly turned into desert, Wei Huan stared at the misty road ahead and did not rush the undead army to go in.
"Jacques, take another look."
"good."
Instead of moving forward aimlessly and killing some meaningless Dark Beast Lords, which gave the elites of the Dark Beast Clan time to develop, Wei Huan thought it would be better to kill them precisely.
Jacques stood on the rooftop platform, with his hands raised above his head, his loose hands clenched as if trying to catch the wind.
Although the water flow was blocked by the protective shield, there was indeed wind swirling around him, curling up the ends of his hair and gathering in his tightly closed eyes, inadvertently revealing a touch of pure gold.
At the same time, within a range of 50 kilometers from him, pairs of golden eyes appeared in the sky. Although they were only within his field of vision, they opened up densely packed dots on the human map.
If you magnify these small dots, you will see a visual point with a diameter of about one kilometer, which can break through the fog of war and see the obscured eyes of the Dark Beast Lord.
When Jacques' Eagle Eye descended, the Dark Beast Lords all reacted and looked towards the sky.
Although it is just an investigation, the Dark Beast Lord will receive a system notification of being "spyed on".
For a moment, all the Dark Beast Lords who were sent to the front to block the bullet holes were all uneasy and deployed their troops even faster.
But some dark beast lords were not panicking. They had already built fog towers in their territories. Although humans' eagle eyes had driven away a small patch of fog above their territories, their buildings would soon be obscured by the fog of the fog towers.
In this vast dark beast camp that is as numerous as stars, it is not easy to find them accurately.
One of them is a level five dark beast lord, who is the dominant lord of this area.
There are more than a thousand low-level dark beast lords around it, all of whom obey its orders.
There will be some factories in the territories of these dark beast lords, and all the materials produced will be gathered here, and then handed over to the royal family.
The Dark Beast Tribe does not have the habit of "plucking feathers from passing geese", but the Dark Beast King allows it to use some of the supplies.
In the Lord Challenge world, it was just an ordinary fifth-level lord, and most of the resource points in its territory could not be mined. But here, with the supply of a thousand low-level dark beast lords, it still built a building.
It's the Misty Tower.
With the Mist Tower, it can completely hide its whereabouts. It doesn't believe that its luck is so bad. Before the decisive battle, when the necromancer's army rushed forward, it just happened to find the location of its territory from the center of a thousand territories.
Besides, he was just one of the many Overlords of the Dark Beast Clan. There were thousands of Overlords around him, as well as the Dark Beast Royal Clan they protected.
I can't be that unlucky...
Thinking of this, the dominant dark beast lord took a look at the system report. 30 miles away, the second territory was destroyed.
[Notice, ￥#%￥ was killed by the human Wei Huan, and his territory was destroyed.]
It's just a third-level territory controlled by the Shuroma tribe. When a group of low-level dark beasts confirm that they are being attacked, they should choose to take away the lord's core, leaving their lives to be dedicated to the king. This is what low-level dark beasts should do.
Actually perished together with the territory?
This fifth-level lord was naturally a two-headed hidden demon, and he was lucky enough to recruit two legendary heroes when recruiting heroes, so he was appreciated and cultivated by the royal family.
The Lord's Challenge slightly changed the rules of the Dark Beast Tribe. The hero recruitment changed the social structure based on bloodline. Even the lowest-level Running Wolf, if lucky enough to recruit a legendary hero at the beginning, would be cultivated by the royal family.
Now, there is a dog-headed man who was originally of low bloodline, but because he recruited a pseudo-god-level hero, he became the new upstart of the royal family and often serves the king.
The time for drawing heroes every month is simply a major reshuffle of the fate of low-level dark beasts.
Of course, if you want a higher probability of drawing high-level heroes, you must continue to build higher-level hero temples.
Low-level dark beasts are unable to mine special materials in the territory due to their own lack of ability, and naturally cannot build more advanced hero temples. The probability of extracting high-level heroes will be very low.
As a seven-star dark beast, it can develop more than 85% of the resource points in the territory. When necessary, the king will send troops to help it fight, allowing it to have a high enough hero temple and obtain two legendary heroes!
Heroes are divided into levels of "Ordinary Hero", "Epic Hero", "Legendary Hero", "False God Hero" and "God Hero".
The strength of a legendary hero is enough to easily fight against five chariots. If a long-range hero is recruited, he can even kill human chariots ten miles away.
It will become the dominant lord because it has two ranged legendary heroes.
The Two-Headed Demon Lord armed his two most important legendary heroes to the teeth, and continued to recruit troops around the two legendary heroes, paying attention to the notifications of the Lord System from time to time.
This human named "Wei Huan" is clearing territories at a very fast speed, an average of three territories per minute.
This also causes its system to constantly refresh notifications.
A sense of urgency came over me unconsciously.
It stopped recruiting, opened the map and looked at its own map, and then found that in front of its left, Wei Huan was like a ferocious beast, biting off a large "crescent-shaped" territory.
Only ten minutes had passed since the first notification, and 33 territories had been razed to the ground.
The speed is too fast.
Although it seemed that the direction this human race was heading would not lead to its territory, it still made it extremely nervous for no reason.
Especially as it paid more attention, the more it could feel this human being, whether it was the speed of pushing the city or the fact that very few Dark Beast Lords escaped from the territory he pushed down, all of which reflected his strength, making its sense of urgency reach the extreme.
I don’t know when it started, but the mentality of it changing from eager to fight to “can’t see me, can’t see me”.
Especially in the last few minutes, every time a notification sounded, it would open the system map and check the other party's route without getting tired of it.
The wide route extends to nearly 40 kilometers. Even if a human army enters, it can only sweep across such a large area. I am right on the edge of his route, which is too dangerous.
Should I take the lord's core and run away as soon as he discovers me?
Can't see me.
Can't see me...
"Commander, it's nearby." Jacques said on the line, "I'm sure it's within this range."
Wei Huan nodded to show that he understood and glanced around.
The battlefield map was too large, and with the fog tower obscuring it, it was difficult for them to accurately locate the suspected high-level territory.
But this is not difficult for them. They just need to push forward to the approximate range and search in a spiral outward. As long as they know the approximate location, why worry about not finding it?
Wei Huan ordered Jacques: "Don't worry about this territory anymore. I will look here. You continue to look further afield to find other high-ranking lords."
"Yes, Captain." After receiving the order, Jacques ended the communication and continued to use Eagle Eye on the roof.
No one had thought that Jacques' special talent would become the key to breaking the deadlock, otherwise Wei Huan would have been wandering around like a headless fly.
Moreover, even Wei Huan was not safe in this operation deep behind enemy lines.
Once he is surrounded by high-ranking lords, he may be caught in a tough battle or even die.
Therefore, by specifically eliminating high-level territories and then going deeper, we can at least ensure that a safe retreat route is left.
Now, Jacques continued his reconnaissance mission, while Wei Huan began to explore outward in a spiral shape with this area as the origin according to the plan.
He had to find the high-level dark beast territory here no matter what before he dared to move forward.
Be responsible for your own life and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who follow you.
It's just a little slower.
The two-headed hidden demon lord, who had been keeping an eye on Wei Huan's movements, saw Wei Huan and his convoy brushing the edge of his territory and advancing deeper into it. Even though the two-headed hidden demon existed as a tribe of war gods of the dark beast clan, he felt the fear of death passing by.
Is this... dodged?
But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, several ghost crows suddenly flew in from the horizon. As they entered its territory, he received a reminder from the system.
[Attention, enemies have appeared at the edge of your territory, please be prepared to fight. ]
The heart that had just been put at ease was suddenly raised to the hair.
At the same time, Wei Huan descended upon the heroic Demon Eye Lord and saw the unique city wall.
Even more majestic and solid, the huge city wall built with solid materials is 30 meters high. The wall is covered with bullet holes in the sentry towers. The soldiers training on the wall and wearing high-end equipment all reflect that the lord of this territory is very powerful.
Anyone else might have handled it with caution. But in Wei Huan's eyes, it was like a bee seeing honey. His depressed mood suddenly cleared up and the sun shone brightly.
“Found it!!”
Wei Huan was cheered up. When he discovered the territory, ten portals opened simultaneously on both sides of the chariot.
The AI butler, upon receiving the notification, suddenly sped up and issued the latest command.
"Notice! Notice! Attention all departments! A high-ranking lord's territory has been discovered! Prepare for battle!!"
"Notify! Notify!..."
Urgent sounds rang out in all the chariots.
As the leader vehicle, Wei Huan, coupled with the extremely high level of AI on his vehicle, easily took over the control of all the tanks. Playing a notification was just the simplest thing for him.
In each tank, the faces of the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time showed excitement about going to the battlefield, as well as a touch of resolute determination.
If we die here, it will be a small step for the future of mankind. Even if it is only one centimeter, it is a way forward!
They stood in a line in front of a small, fist-sized dog-headed man, waiting.
I don’t know what the battlefield ahead looks like, I don’t know what kind of intense environment I will face, and I don’t know if I can come back after leaving this time.
But these are not the most important.
The most important thing is that they are about to pursue their ideals, fight for humanity and for their mission!
