Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 247 The Attack of the Natural Disaster

Qi Ji opened the lord map.

The territory of Miracle Territory appeared clearly before his eyes.

The territory he currently owns highly overlaps with the sphere of influence of the Evil Wood Forest.

This former third-tier dark territory force is composed of the "Xiemu Territory Mainland" and the "subordinate territories".

The former includes the main city of Xiemu and four major fortress towns.

The four major fortresses are: Black Iron Fortress (South), Chaos Rock Fortress (East), Greenthorn Fortress (West), and Giant Crow Fortress (North).

The Black Iron Fortress in the Black Iron Mountain Range fell into Qi Ji's hands early on, but the other three fortresses have not yet been taken down and are the targets that need to be conquered quickly next.

Around the Evil Wood Forest.

There are four second-level subordinate territories.

They are: Thunder City, Blood Howl City, Phosphorous Fire City, and Rotten Bone City.

They occupy Thunder Swamp, Blood Howl Valley, Phosphorus Volcano Hill, and Rot Bone Swamp.

Qi Ji had already taken Thunder City and the Thunder Swamp where it was located, Blood Howling City and the Blood Howling Valley where it was located early on, which meant that there were still two territories located north of the Evil Wood Forest that had not been conquered.

As a lord of the Eternal Night Forest.

The Evil Wood Forest is a typical third-order force in a stable period.

This lotus-shaped territorial structure is one of the most common and classic structures.

After all, there is a limit to the territory that a lord can directly control. This is related to a combination of factors such as his own capabilities, territory resources, population, and army. Seeking territory beyond one's capabilities will actually reduce control.

Therefore, the scope of the directly administered territory is compressed within a controllable range.

The safest approach is to build a circle of secondary territories around the territory to form a barrier.

These subordinate lords must be dependent on the core lord, not only to provide a steady supply of various resources, but also to form an effective defense and buffer barrier, playing a very critical protective role in resisting foreign invasion.

Take the Evil Wood Forest for example.

There is a circle of second-level territory around it.

And there are first-order territories around the second-order territories.

If a very powerful foreign enemy wants to invade the Evil Wood Forest, then it is likely that they will have to start fighting from the first-level area. The lower the territory level, the more difficult it is to fight away from home, and the more disadvantaged the invading party will be.

Xiemu City can immediately ask the nearby first- and second-level territories to send a large number of first-level troops, thereby dragging the enemy into a battle in the first-level area. Even if the first-level area falls, the battle can continue in the second-level area.

Use asymmetric combat power consumption.

Greatly increases the enemy's invasion cost.

The threats faced will also be greatly reduced.

This lotus-shaped power structure is not only very common in the dark territories.

In fact, many human dungeons also deliberately create such territorial structures.

After all, this kind of territory structure is not only conducive to defense, but also prevents it from being integrated into external territories, thus forming a clear-cut territorial division and firewall.

Of course, Miracle City is still in a stage of rapid expansion and has never considered the issue of territorial boundaries. Naturally, there is no need to build barriers for the territory. Territories such as Jinxi City are directly annexed.

As a nominally second-tier territory.

But it can pull out a lot of fourth-level and fifth-level combat power.

The combat power of Miracle City is highly overflowing. Once the external territory is connected with Miracle Territory, it will face an overwhelming terrifying force!
anyway.

Since the annexation of Xiemu City yesterday.

The Evil Wood Forest has become a part of the Miracle Territory.

The original third-level territory was forcibly reduced to the second level.

The three dark fortresses will definitely be affected in this process. After all, these three fortresses are originally the territory of the Evil Wood Forest.

The Phosphorus Fire Territory and the Rotten Bone Territory, which bordered the Evil Wood Territory but were not originally integrated with it, now merged directly with the Miracle Territory into one whole because the Evil Wood Forest had also become a second-level area, forming an extremely large second-level area.

This means that the high-level adventurers of Miracle Territory are fighting on their home turf, whether they are fighting in the three major dark fortresses or the two affiliated territories.

They can freely use third-level or even fourth-level combat power within this range!

This will make the battle very easy.

A few minutes later.

When Qi Ji returned to the main city.

Today's spirit ceremony has ended.

Yongzhen has contracted and upgraded a group of adventurers on behalf of the lord.

Qi Ji randomly summoned Han Teng and asked about the preparations for the establishment of the Calamity Army.

"Reporting to the Lord, just a few minutes ago, the headquarters of the Scourge Legion was officially established!"

"very good!"

Qi Ji wanted to integrate the adventurer team.

A Scourge Legion was specially established in the territory.

Adventurers also like this very impressive number very much.

In addition, in order to facilitate management and improve efficiency, he specially set aside a luxurious building to serve as the administrative headquarters of the Scourge Army. Now this legion headquarters has been officially put into use.

In other words.

The unit is on the right track.

In addition, the Scourge Army is composed of adventurers.

However, the commander of the legion is a representative sent by the lord.

For example, the person currently in charge of this position is Han Teng.

However, as a highly autonomous and unpaid force, the lord and his representative generally do not personally command the troops, and whether adventurers join is entirely voluntary. Boss Qi will not force adventurers who come to the territory to risk their lives for the territory.

Of course.

After the establishment of the Scourge Army.

In the future, large-scale tasks will be issued in the form of campaign tasks.

If adventurers want to participate in campaign missions and get a share of the spoils, they must first apply to become a member of the Scourge Army. Once they apply to become a member of the Scourge Army, they must abide by the management and system of the Scourge Army.

Most of the time, the legion commander is just a nominal position. His only power is to reorganize the Scourge Army Representative Committee at any time. His main role is to act as a liaison between the lord's mansion and the legion, and he is also responsible for supervising the legion on behalf of the lord.

This organization is the one that is truly responsible for coordination and command.

The current Scourge Committee has twenty seats, some of which are held by the leaders of the top-ranked adventure groups or the top-ranked individual adventurers, while the other seats are held by representatives voted in by all Scourge forces.

Among them are respected veteran adventurers such as Baihe Jushi and Wanshan Guhong, young and powerful ones such as Higanbana, Mengyinxue, and Greenskin Bully, as well as new young people such as Mingyue Zhaoxue, Fengzhongmian, and Black Stone Hammer King.

Qi Ji took into account the speed of territory development and the growth rate of adventurers.

He tentatively plans to reorganize the organization once a month in the future, adding one or two new positions each time. The organizational structure and power distribution will also be continuously adjusted and optimized during the operation to create an efficient and powerful undead army!
"I really envy Lord Qi!"

Ran Tianyun, Ren Wanxiong, Li Jianhan, and Gao Yue all expressed their heartfelt emotions.

The four lords visited the headquarters of the Scourge Army and witnessed the entire process of the establishment of the Scourge Army. As lords, they couldn't help but feel deep envy.

Adventurers are a group of people who are uninhibited and love freedom. They are known for their casual nature, poor obedience and profit-seeking nature. They have never seen a territory that can integrate the Scourge Army and manage it in a completely militarized manner like Miracle City.

foreseeable.

After this legion got on the right track.

Miracle City’s military strength will be taken to a new level!

Han Teng said, "According to the Lord's request, the Scourge Army has selected twenty representatives, and these twenty representatives have elected the adventurer Higanbana as the commander-in-chief of the Scourge Army."

This result is not surprising.

Recently, Higanbana has moved most of the Yellow Springs Adventure Group to Miracle City.

Not only did she continue to serve as the leader of the adventure group, she was also one of the most prestigious adventurers in Miracle City. She had commanded several battles with good results when the adventurers were in a very loose and disorganized situation.

Han Teng continued his report, "In addition, the Scourge Legion has completed the reorganization of its troop structure. The approximately 5,000 Scourge Legion troops are now divided into five combat battalions. Each battalion is divided into ten combat squadrons, and each squadron is further divided into ten combat teams."

Briefly speaking, the current Scourge Army:
A thousand people form a camp, a hundred people form a team, and ten people form a group.

Each battalion has a captain as a middle-level officer, and under the captain are team leaders and group leaders as grassroots officers.

Qi Ji nodded with satisfaction.

This deepening reform of the Scourge Army is undoubtedly an attempt to optimize each adventurer according to their strength and ability type to ensure that they can play the greatest role and efficiency on the battlefield.

Although the current organizational plan may not be 100% scientific, after all, the Scourge was established not long ago, but in any case, it is better to be organized than not to be organized, and it will always be more powerful than the loose and disorganized situation in the past.

The time has come.

Qi Ji no longer wasted time.

Campaign missions were issued for the remaining five strategic objectives.

The goal is to take down the Evil Wood Forest forces in one fell swoop, that is, the last three remaining fortresses and two second-level territories, and completely annex and digest all the towns, resources, territories, and population of this third-level force!
The task is assigned.

The soldiers of the Calamity Army were overjoyed.

Everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"it is good!"

"Great!"

"Here comes the mission!"

"Our legion has just been officially established."

"I didn't expect to have such an awesome task!"

"Three fortresses and two second-level lords, swallowed all in one breath, this mission is huge!"

"Although it's not difficult to defeat, there are too many targets. We need to request more vehicles from the Lord. Only in this way can we complete the mission as quickly as possible!"

"..."

The adventurers were extremely enthusiastic.

After all, this was the Scourge's first real campaign mission.

Coincidentally, the Scourge Army has five battalions, each of which can be used to deal with one target. As a regular army of the territory, it can recruit mercenaries during combat or apply for territory equipment and fire support.

In order to ensure speed and efficiency, Qi Ji did not hesitate to use inventory.

Not only did he dispatch hundreds of helicopters and sixty Titan mechas, he also mobilized most of the territory's Gnoll machine gunners, Dwarf artillerymen, and some monster guards.

now
The evil wood lord was killed.

The main force has been destroyed.

Only a few remnants of soldiers remained in the three major fortresses of the Evil Wood Forest.

Some of these third-level units were not native to the area, but were recruited or incorporated from outside by the Evil Wood Lord.

When the Evil Wood Forest was still a third-level area, they would not be affected at all. Now that the territory has been downgraded to the second level, their strength is immediately suppressed and they cannot exert their third-level combat power at all.

Under this situation.

How can the dark race resist the wolf-like and ferocious Scourge Army?
The suspense of this battle is not whether we can win, but whether it can be resolved within one day as expected!

After Qi Ji made all the arrangements, he did not continue to pay attention to the details because he believed that the Scourge and the adventurers were capable of handling this battle and delivering a good result.

"Lord Lord!"

Mai Shiranui came to report:
"We found a rare blueprint in the Lord's Market. This blueprint may be useful to the territory, but the other lord's asking price is too high and he won't accept soul crystals in exchange. We are unable to make a decision, so we came to consult you!"

"Rare blueprints? That's certainly rare!"

Although the quality of the Lord of Miracle City online market is very average.

But it has undergone several upgrades and constructions and its number has expanded to four.

Even though most of the lords here are no more than level three, the number of lords and territories is still considerable. Most of the daily basic supplies and common blueprints of the territories are provided by them.

For example, common blueprints such as spiritual fields, hotels, taverns, spell towers, barrier towers, adventurer's guilds, etc. from level one to level three.

Qi Ji was very busy and did not need to monitor the market in person, so he set price ranges for various common drawings according to demand, and asked his assistants to organize a purchasing team to monitor it 24 hours a day.

As long as the required drawings appear in the market.

Only quote or negotiate within a preset price range.

You can buy it directly in the trading hall without reporting.

This saved Qi Ji a lot of energy and greatly increased the success rate and efficiency of procurement, so he received several drawings every day recently, and these drawings were used in the construction of several main cities and key towns.

If Qi Ji hadn't spent money lavishly.

If it weren’t for purchasing various drawings through multiple channels.

How is it possible to grow to its current scale in just a few months?

However, precisely because the quality of the online market is not high, it is surprising that a rare treasure suddenly appears at this moment.

Qi Ji personally opened the Lord Market.

I was also stunned when I saw this drawing.

[Construction Blueprint: Chaos Synthesis Array], a second-tier rare blueprint... "So it's a synthesis array!"

Qi Ji's eyes suddenly brightened.

This facility, like the territory formation, belongs to the formation category of drawings.

However, compared to the rare-level territory formation, the Chaos Synthesis Formation is an even rarer blueprint. Its main function is to synthesize chaos treasure chests, such as combining several treasure chests into one.

Treasure chest synthesis.

There will be some loss.

The probability of obtaining high-level and rare items in the treasure chest after synthesis will also increase.

In addition, if the number of treasure chests used for synthesis at one time is large enough, there is a chance to obtain treasure chests of higher grades, and in this case, there is generally no loss.

Came just in time.

The territory's army attacked from all sides and expanded the territory in full swing.

Qi Ji will obtain a large number of green and white Chaos Treasure Chests in a short period of time. These two qualities of treasure chests can only produce second or third level blueprints or skills at most. If they can be synthesized, there will be a chance to obtain higher-level and rarer items!

He then sent a private message: "Friend, please give me a price. I'm interested in your drawing!"

The seller lord said directly: "I don't want soul crystals, I only want spirits. Give me forty third-level one-star spirits in exchange!"

Forty?
And it’s a third-level spirit!
When Qi Ji saw the offer, he was stunned.

No wonder no one bought this blueprint in the market for a while.

It seems that this lord is also a wealthy man, but the problem is that his asking price is too high. Especially in such a low-level market, it is probably difficult for anyone to come up with so many spirits or spirits of equivalent value.

Qi Ji has forty or fifty third-level spirits in his hands.

Not only that, there are many high-quality spirits among them. For example, a rare spirit of the third level and two stars, the Seven-Faced Warrior, is worth at least five or six third level and one-star spirits, while a third level and five-star Lord of the City of Light is worth at least fifty!

With his ability.

It's not difficult to replace.

But Qi Ji is unwilling to suffer this loss.

After counting the spirits in his hands, he finally found that there were a total of twelve third-level, one-star ordinary quality spirits. He then sent the information of these spirits to the other party one after another and increased the price in negotiations, trying to reach a deal.

These twelve spirits are of the worst quality among the third-level spirits in Qi Ji's hands.

However, there are seven "Spirit of the Great Sui Generals" among them. These were dropped when adventurers killed the Sui Dynasty generals in the secret realm of the Ten Kingdoms. Although their strength and quality are average, they are spirits in human form.

Because the skills that adventurers learn through skill stones cannot be used in beast or other forms of spirits, even if they can be used, only a very small part of them can be used.

Human spirits also have different physical endowments.

But after all, they are human beings, and most of their skills can be used.

Although the most prominent shortcoming of human-shaped spirits is that they bring special blessings and strengthen other spirits, their value is generally higher than that of ordinary spirits.

It wouldn't be a problem to treat these twelve spirits as twenty.

However, unexpectedly, the other party's attitude was very firm. He required forty level three one-star spirits, or higher-grade level three spirits of roughly equal value, otherwise he would not hand over the blueprint.

So stubborn?

In that case, there is no need to rush!
This offer is almost impossible to close.

Let's give this guy some time to talk first, I believe he will become easier to talk to.

Qi Ji withdrew from the lord market.

He took a look at the situation of the Scourge Army.

After the adventurers had a militarized organization, they were now well-organized and obeyed orders. Their assembly and marching speed was more than twice as fast as before. At this moment, they had already used the sacred stone in the Evil Wood Forest as a springboard to attack from all directions and divided into five groups.

The current Miracle City.

Among the contracted adventurers.

There are hundreds of Level 3 adventurers.

With the addition of dozens of mechas and thousands of guns, the combat power generated is enough to attack Xiemu City again, and dealing with small strongholds along the way is like a crushing wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

……

A few hours later.

In the Giant Crow Fortress.

The four dark generals looked solemnly hesitating whether to abandon the fortress and escape.

These generals of Giant Crow Fortress are all level three, but now only one troll maintains his strength. The other two are not native level three people, and have been suppressed by the power of the law and have dropped to the second level.

They didn't know what had happened in Xiemu City, but the changes in the territorial laws foreshadowed an incredible fact - the Xiemu Lord had failed in the war with Miracle City!
Not only did he lose!

It was a complete defeat!
"We only have to hold on for a day or two!"

"Several nearby great lords, and even His Majesty the Eternal Night Dragon King, will surely send reinforcements!"

"What happened in the Evil Wood Forest? Miracle City is only a second-tier territory after all... I suspect the strong men from Thousand Lakes City took action, which led to the current situation."

"..."

The other dark warriors all felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.

After all, it was an extremely dark night yesterday. Theoretically, the strong men from Qianhu City might have taken the opportunity to attack. Perhaps Miracle City was a bait from the beginning.

Now the darkest night is over.

It is impossible for the strong men in Qianhu City to take action again.

As long as we hold the fortress for a day or two, reinforcements will surely arrive!
Just as these dark soldiers had found a way to justify their safety, they suddenly heard the roar of helicopters coming from afar, and then saw twenty Black Hawk helicopters full of Scourge troops appear in their sight.

"not good!"

"Enemy attack!"

The dark defenders of Giant Crow Fortress were already on high alert, so they immediately activated various traps, formations, and barriers to prepare to defend the fortress.

There was a flash of light.

A figure flashed.

He floated in front of the Giant Crow Fortress, wearing majestic golden armor, a powerful body made of pure white energy, long hair condensed from light hanging down to his waist, and holding a shining lightsaber in his hand.

Majestic.

It’s very oppressive!
"Time Traveler, Captain of the Scourge Army's Third Battalion, is here!"

This is the time traveler who transformed into Seghart, the Lord of the City of Light.

He had just accelerated his cultivation by sacrificing his soul, and had fully trained his second-level soul a few days in advance, and completed the advancement by contracting the soul.

This adventurer, who originally wasn't even a second- or third-tier fighter, has now become one of the top ten strongest men in the Scourge Army just because he obtained the spirit of the City of Light's Lord!
The overall strength can even compete with the fourth level.

When the Time Traveler showed up and felt his astonishing pressure, all the dark generals present fell into panic. They had realized that they might have made a huge mistake.

"Since you're blocking the way to Miracle City, I have no choice but to send you to hell!"

No more nagging!

No persuasion to surrender!

He didn't say a word to try to persuade her to surrender.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too big and it’s not worth wasting time!

A burst of power.

Summons a thunderbolt.

Dozens of lightning bolts fell like raindrops.

The Time Traveler's attacks all bombarded one location. Under the impact of the extremely violent force, the defensive barrier showed a noticeable bend. Then he raised his hand to condense the power of light, turning it into a huge light cannon.

boom!
This attack tore a hole in the barrier, and the light penetrated like a blade, instantly causing a series of explosions above the fortress, causing damage to several defensive buildings.

When seeing this scene.

The dark race was so frightened that they almost died.

This guy actually tore a small hole in the fortress barrier by himself. Even some fourth-level strongmen may not be able to do such strength and performance!
at the same time.

Other attacks followed.

More than a dozen third-level adventurers appeared.

In addition, there are more than a dozen powerful mechas.

Under the joint attack of everyone, all of them exerted their third-level strength, and the barrier of the Giant Crow Fortress soon couldn't hold on.

"Let me take the lead!" The adventurer Liuyan Feiyu from Qingshan City stepped forward. He was an adventurer who had just been promoted to the third level. When he activated his spirit transformation, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The soul of the six-eyed flying fish is the White Snake God!
This adventurer had already reached the late second stage in Qingshan City. In order to obtain the third-level spirit for breakthrough, he had worked day and night in the dungeon for more than a year but gained nothing.

After arriving at Miracle City.

He quickly maxed out his cultivation skills.

Not only that, it is very easy to obtain third-level spirits in Miracle City. The six-eyed flying fish finally chose the third-level rare spirit, the White Snake God!

Why choose this spirit? Because although the White Snake God does not have extraordinary power, its body of four or five hundred meters is comparable to a moving natural disaster. An ordinary third-level strongman cannot withstand its violent collision.

And this huge size and destructive power.

It is very suitable for use in war.

After the six-eyed flying fish transformed into a super giant white snake, it rushed towards the Giant Crow Fortress on the spot. With its huge body and thick skin and flesh, it attracted part of the firepower and counterattack of the dark species, and at the same time destroyed a large number of peripheral traps and facilities.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Other adventurers rushed forward!

Two adventurers in the form of thousand-year-old mermaids teamed up to launch a spell of huge waves, which instantly caused a large flood to further destroy the fortress's defense facilities, and other adventurers took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Back and forth.

Just two or three hours.

This overwhelming battle is over.

Although the attacking Scourge suffered some casualties, they did not actually pay much substantial price because the adventurers were immortal.

During the capture of Giant Crow Fortress.

Time Traveler can be said to shine.

The speed, attack power, and lightning cannon of the Lord of Light are so cool.

The most important thing is that although the Lord of the City of Light does not have a traditional human body and cannot use most human martial arts or magical skills, he can still use some swordsmanship.

This guy is already very powerful.

Add in a little bit of Miracle City swordsmanship and you can imagine what the outcome would be.

Soon after.

Qi Ji received reminders one after another.

You successfully captured Greenthorn Fortress... Received 1 Chaos Chest (Green)!

[You successfully captured the "Ranyan Fortress"...]

[You successfully captured the "Giant Crow Fortress"...]

【…】

[You successfully occupied the "Phosphorus Fire Territory" and obtained a "Chaos Treasure Chest (Green)" x 1!]

[You successfully occupied the "Rotten Bone Territory" and obtained a "Chaos Treasure Chest (Green)" x 1!]

【…】

Qi Ji glanced at the time.

It only took seven or eight hours.

The Scourge achieved its goal.

They successfully activated five sacred stones.

The Miracle Territory officially swallowed up the entire sphere of influence of the Evil Wood Forest. The area of ​​territory that Qi Ji now directly controls is one or two times larger than that of the Evil Wood Lord!
Because he not only annexed the entire Xiemu Territory.

The four subordinate territories and their subordinate territories were all directly incorporated into the territory of Miracle City!

Today's territory expansion mission has been successfully completed!
Qi Ji's resources and population have increased again, and his comprehensive strength and foundation have been improved again.

And at the same time.

The lord who sells formation blueprints.

Finally, I couldn't help but contact Qi Ji.

Finally, after another round of bargaining, Qi Ji added an extra third-level, one-star headless spirit, and finally used thirteen spirits as a price to exchange for the urgently needed synthetic formation from the other party.

Today, not only the strategic goals were successfully achieved.

Looks like there’s an extra bonus!
