Sword and Magic and Taxi

The progress on the eastern front is quite smooth. Jumping Dog can fight both ground warfare and cave warfare. Once it reaches a large scale, it is extremely difficult to resist. In a war using cold weapons, quantity is a very important factor. Zhao Mai's Z-worm can ignore consumption and sacrifice, launch attacks continuously, and flood the opponent's fortress with absolute impact.

The moat is meaningless. If the jumping dog faces a ravine of about five meters, it can jump directly over it. If it is wider, there will still be transporting insect slime, and a simple bridge will soon be formed to pass through. The city wall is meaningless. The combined use of the jumping dog's claws and back bone spurs is enough to climb vertical walls, so attacks can be launched from all positions.

Their shells are stronger than steel and much lighter, and their bone spurs and pliers are no weaker than steel weapons. Even dwarves don't have the level of weapons like jumping dogs. Coupled with the fearlessness of death, there will be no blow to morale at all. There are only three states of accepting orders, completing orders, and waiting for orders. Therefore, this terrible insect wave swept across the east, and no orc settlement could resist it.

The soil follows the sea of ​​insects, occupying every place it goes, replacing the local soil and preserving the local ecological environment. The soil will initially turn a light purple-red color, like solidified lava. However, after five or six days, this color disappears as penetration deepens. The soil penetrated by the soil is slightly black, and if you dig deep for a while, you can see the intricate structure like mycelium.

Along the way, all the corpses will be collected and buried in the soil. Since there are currently enough troops, all these organic matter are used to increase the growth and penetration rate of the soil. The earth watered by flesh and blood is no longer an empty talk, but a real reality. In less than a month, the Blackfoot settlement has occupied all of Nurn to the east, including the largest and only lake in Mordor: the Inland Sea of ​​Nurn.

Zhao Mai landed in Mordor from here, and now he has completely put this place under control. The water in the inner lake comes from the mountains surrounding Mordor. After gathering here, it nourishes the most fertile land in Mordor. Z-worms have set up many refining rooms around the lake, specifically used to filter the salt and minerals in the lake water, making the salt water here slowly become lighter.

The settlement of Goblin Beast Tooth is on the east bank of the lake. The soil has been laid to the door of his house, and the jumping dogs have surrounded it. The gardener dragons saw the goblin that Zhao Mai had been thinking about for a long time, and immediately reported to Zhao Mai. Boss, we have found the nasty goblin!

You just solve it. Zhao Mai used the insect heart ring, neural network and monitoring bugs to keep a sneak peek at their progress, but he never lost his wisdom. After the goblin settlement is eliminated, there is still vast land to the east, but the strategic value is not very great. Just leave the advancing force behind, and the main attack direction should be north.

Yes, boss! Gardener Long blinked, passed on the order, and then handed his body back to Xiaohua. She and Zhao Mai were sitting on the back of the moving insect, advancing with the orc army from the Blackfoot settlement.

This is a huge army composed of 12,000 orcs, and when it moves, it has no boundaries. This is a well-equipped army with sufficient logistics. It seems that no army in the history of the orcs can reach the equipment level of the Blackfoot settlement. Stainless steel weapons are equipped for every orc, and there are more than one for front-line warriors. You can choose any style, as long as you can wield them. For example, that guy Duchard chose a long-handled heavy hammer, which weighed two hundred and fifty kilograms. Just relying on the hardness of the material itself, it cannot be swung at all. Zhao Mai got started personally and used the forging skills he learned from the God of Earth, Auli, to ensure that the weapon would not break due to its own weight, making it of practical value.

Daryl was very happy with the newly made crossbow. Not only could it shoot farther, harder and more accurately, it could also be used as a weapon to kill people. A blade with a blood groove protruded from the bottom of the repeating crossbow, and the reinforced crossbow body could withstand being slashed by ordinary weapons without breaking. This is also the work of Zhao Mai.

Explosive-toothed rats also contribute to this army. Some of Daryl's crossbow bolts use Saruman's gunpowder, which can cause secondary damage after hitting through a delayed fuse. It's just that Saruman's formula is slow to make, and the output has never been increased. In some places, it cannot be completed by mixing materials in the refining room, but requires the participation of manpower. Explosive Tooth Rat has been tested many times. He can make it, Gardener Dragon can, and Orcs can, but Worker Bugs and Jumping Dogs can't. He kept trying to figure it out.

Of course Zhao Mai knows the reason. Saruman's alchemical potion utilizes the annihilation power generated during the confrontation between the wills of the world, so it needs to be attached with a part of the will of the world with special properties when making it. This work can only be completed by creatures with complete minds. Workers and jumping dogs are hopeless. Because it requires labor, this kind of thing cannot be equipped on a large scale.

The current combat effectiveness is enough. Zhao Mai looked around and saw that the orcs maintained a high fighting spirit. In front of their march, Talion stood ready. The tall city wall is fifteen meters long and the top is ten meters thick. It is all made of solid rock. He moved all the original Black Gate defense system in front of Zhao Mai, and the trebuchets and giant ballistae became even more ferocious and huge, and only a four-meter-tall hill giant could control them. The dwarf goblins use slings, trip wires and long serrated daggers, the orcs are equipped with long machetes and longbows, and the ogres and hill giants all use giant flails or bolas.

Zhao Mai squinted his eyes and looked at the ground, stopping his army from a long distance away. Talion clenched his fists and knocked heavily on the city wall, because if they walked a few dozen meters, Zhao Mai's troops would be within the range of the gravel trebuchet. Even if one round of stone throwing doesn't cause much damage, it can very well demoralize the opponent.

The one who exposed the range was Xi soil. Unlike the springtails on the eastern front that push forward with the soil to follow, the tactic on the northern front is to advance with the soil. All the way under the city wall, until it was blocked by Sauron's territorial will, the entire battlefield was covered with soil. Talion had previously conducted a test launch of the trebuchet, so Xi soil marked the landing point. Zhao Mai only needs to take a look at those small shallow pits and he will know it clearly.

Put up my flag and demand a direct decisive battle between the leaders in accordance with the rules of the orcs. Zhao Mai stood up from the transporter and shouted loudly: Raise the duel flag!

WAAAGH!!! The orcs roared. The duel flag means accepting the leadership duel at any time to directly determine the outcome of the battlefield. Orcs who dare not accept it will be ridiculed constantly. Zhao Mai's identity is the orc commander, Talion is the war chief, one level lower than Zhao Mai, and he is already in a coercive state. However, under the duel banner, all the generals above and below the general commander of our side are within the scope of the challenge, so Zhao Mai can only send Daryl and Explosive Tooth Mouse besides himself. All the captains on Talion's side can play, and the number of people seems to be an advantage.

Once the duel flag is raised, it will never come down. This is the greatest confidence that one's side will win. The Blackfoot community was full of excitement, and the clamor for duel could be heard clearly from a mile away. Talion shook his head, not having any confidence to accept the duel.

The war is fought against a system. He comforted himself.
