Chapter 411 410. Misunderstanding
After Xinghuo reminded him that they might be under siege, Lin Jun marked the three tribes closest to the Fungus Castle as targets for monitoring.
Although there may be more than these three, since they are going to fight together, keeping a close eye on a few key tribes will be enough to grasp the overall trends.
As expected, these tribes began to actively prepare for war, stockpiling large quantities of mushrooms and other food, organizing tribal warriors to train day and night, and the entire camp was filled with a tense atmosphere of the impending war.
To this end, Lin Jun had already prepared various surprises for them halfway, waiting for these overconfident guys to fall into the trap.
If he loses this fight, Lin Jun will feed his real body to Xiao Hei!
However, unexpectedly, after gathering their warriors, these tribes did not march directly towards the Fungus Castle, but instead turned around and headed south.
What to do?
You can't be so bold as to attack the empire, right?
Even though the Empire and the humans are fighting tooth and nail in the south, they are still not using their full strength. It is impossible for a few tribes and a bunch of rabble to take advantage of the situation.
Since it is impossible that they are going to attack the empire, what is their purpose in going south?
After much thought, Lin Jun believed that they were probably planning to assemble the entire army first and then launch a unified attack on Fort Jun.
This strategy is indeed much smarter, at least it is much better than fighting alone and being defeated one by one.
At the edge of the fungal area, a vortex of magic suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swallowing up the surrounding mycelium and the magic contained in it.
When the vortex dissipated, a newborn scout, Puji, stood on the bare ground.
【Follower Maker】
The light around the scout Puji was slightly distorted, and soon it blended into the surrounding environment.
It quietly followed a tribal group heading south and began its stalking mission.
At the same time, Junbao had assembled an army of two thousand people, plus a vast ocean of Puji formed by tens of thousands of Puji.
These are all troops that have been more or less trained by the piglets, and there are nearly three thousand people left in the Fungus Castle to maintain operations.
Various demons stood side by side with humans, werewolves and cave dwellers mixed in, and one could even see a few dwarves slightly taller than Puji standing on the edge of the team. Unlike Thorin, these were slaves redeemed from the tribe, just like those humans.
If such an outrageous combination were placed in front of any country in the outside world, it would probably be regarded as an enemy and attacked.
The team's current discipline couldn't be said to be very good, with whispers and discussions never stopping, but at least everyone stood in their designated positions, and there was no pushing or chaos.
This most basic order is largely due to Xiaozhu's persistent training during this period.
Norris also appeared in the team, but he was not mixed into the main formation.
He led the Jida team and stood at the back of the team. Each Jida had a resonance cannon on his shoulder. They were mobile long-range firepower.
They are the mobile artillery regiments of this army.
Although it could not achieve the same magical archery as Lin Jun had seen, which could accurately kill the enemy from three kilometers away, the large-scale and comprehensive attack of these resonance cannons would surely be more effective against the tribal coalition forces composed mainly of miscellaneous soldiers.
And further north of Fungus Castle, in a place where even [Cold Resistance LV8] would feel icy, in Lin Jun's Arctic Laboratory, a giant mutant Jida, composed of 1,500 Pujis and over 20 meters tall, leaned quietly against a protruding ice wall.
This is a super Jida that has used the [Resonance] skill to the limit. It is an experimental soldier prepared by Lin Jun to deal with the current situation.
Most people living in Fungus Castle don’t know that a team of Puji will deliver a batch of supplies every day.
Among them are the minerals needed to form the chitinous shell, as well as the low-level magic crystals required for [Crystal Symbiosis].
By now, the Super Jida's shell had been covered to over 80% of its original size, its massive body gleaming in the reflection of the ice and snow. However, less than 40% of the core Puji group, which formed the large magic shield and the massive resonance cannon, had successfully achieved A-level magic crystal symbiosis.
As for using all S-class magic crystals for symbiosis… even Lin Jun couldn't afford such a luxury at the moment. The resource consumption just to maintain this one project had already caused all the mines in the dungeon to operate at full speed.
Lin Jun's consciousness swept over this half-finished Super Jida, and then he gave up the idea of using it.
Firstly, it was not yet completed, and secondly, the existing military strength was more than enough to face the threat of a mere northern tribe. Exposing one's cards in such an insignificant battle, thereby attracting the Empire's attention, would undoubtedly be foolish.
Although the tribal army did not attack the Fungus Castle directly, Marshal Puji still jumped onto the pig's head and announced the order to set off in a voice that made everyone tremble.
Seriously speaking, this was a very hasty order to march.
From the sudden assembly, counting of troops and equipment to departure, it took less than half a day in total. An ordinary army would not be able to make all the preparations in such a short time.
But this doesn't exist for Lin Jun. As long as he is still marching on the fungal mat, it is a local battle. He doesn't need to worry about logistics at all. Mushrooms will grow wherever he goes.
After a fight, new Puji can be replenished on the spot. The army does not have to worry about the most troublesome logistics, so the efficiency is naturally high.
Lin Jun still ordered Xiaozhu to lead this mixed army to march south at a normal speed, and give further instructions after Lin Jun figured out the other party's marching route.
However, two days after the army set out, Lin Jun, through the observations of his scout Puji, was embarrassed to discover a fact: the joint military action of these tribes... seemed to have no target at all...
…
Luo River is the only seasonal river in the north. Now in spring, only some sections of the river thaw, and it will not completely thaw until summer.
This time, the target of the joint hunting by the five tribes near the Luo River is a new type of monster that has appeared near the river bank.
The five tribes sent out a total of more than 3,000 warriors to surround a large area.
They sprinkled the ground with the ground-ground powder and pushed it towards the center in circles.
Broga, a senior warrior of the Broken Blade Tribe, kept moving among the ashes of his own troops.
At a certain moment, he noticed a claw mark suddenly appeared in the dust next to one of his men.
Without hesitation, the ring-handled knife flipped in his hand, and with his forward steps, he appeared a few meters away the next moment.
A large amount of purple blood burst out in the air, and six claws appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, with one claw almost touching the subordinate.
With a roar, the whole body broke into two pieces.
"keep going!"
Under Broga's command, his men suppressed their fear and continued to spread ashes forward.
But this time, they obviously tried harder, trying to spread it as far away as possible.
