Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 194 The Forest of Giant Trees and the Monster City (4K)

After the meeting, Li Ye glanced at the system panel.

That epic intelligence report has been updated.

6. After gathering and assessing intelligence across the entire Southern Continent, the world-class human organization decided to officially launch the Southern Continent regional struggle within three days. (Intelligence Value: Epic)

"So fast?" Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.

Upon closer examination, this is clearly a three-way battle.

The three major human organizations and the mobile wasteland cities they recruited.

The three major organizations of the monster faction and the native monster civilization.

To fight a giant civilization on a single continent.

As for Li Ye, he just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to develop a little more.

"Hopefully, no more monster civilizations will set their sights on this basin," he thought.

While developing peacefully, I took the opportunity to observe the nearby "Giant Tree Zone" while away from the wild.

This is the central area of ​​western Nanliuzhou, with the basin region located in one corner, making it appear quite remote.

The Giant Tree Zone is a Level 3 area, extremely large and vast.

This area consists of countless giant trees, each starting at 500 meters tall, taller than a giant.

A section of the Great Wall also passes through the Giant Tree area.

The entire area is like a dream lost from ancient times, with each giant tree rising from the ground like a pillar reaching the sky. The thick trunks are covered with wrinkles of time, and the bark is as thick and mottled as bronze armor.

The trunk is so thick that it would take hundreds of people holding hands to encircle it.

Li Ye has no plans to occupy the Giant Tree area for the time being.

First, there must be a level 3 monster civilization in this area.

Secondly, it is located in the central area, and the struggle for it between the human and monster sides will definitely be extremely fierce.

"Even so, I still need to figure out exactly what the Giant Tree District is all about," he thought.

Generally speaking, if you want to explore an area quickly and easily, you naturally have to send out fighter jets.

However, the situation in the giant tree area is quite unique. The giant trees are layered upon each other, with intertwined branches and leaves, severely obstructing aerial visibility. It is also extremely inconvenient for fighter jets to maneuver through the giant tree forest.

Therefore, it's better to send out Black Hawk helicopters.

A few hours later, Li Ye learned the details.

The monster civilization existing in the Giant Tree Zone is the Gnoll civilization.

In this relatively open area, the gnoll civilization even built cities.

"What did you say?" Li Ye was stunned upon hearing this.

The helicopter pilot who reported to him nodded solemnly.

“It’s absolutely true, my lord. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Based on his description, Li Ye roughly learned about the specifics of this monster city.

Overall, it's not a large-scale operation, consisting of only tens of thousands of gnolls.

The city has a series of apartment buildings, roads and utility poles, and even gnolls driving cars.

However, it still lags far behind in terms of modernization.

Li Ye's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Have level 3 monster civilizations already acquired the ability to build cities?

Over the next few days, the helicopter pilots returned one after another, bringing back the intelligence they had discovered.

The gnolls not only built cities, but also highways that ran through the Giant Tree District, small towns and treehouses in the giant trees.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye shook his head repeatedly.

It's surprising that a high-level monster civilization would actually take such care in managing its territory.

Compared to humans, monsters are clearly more like the protagonists of this planet.

The drivers also provided three important pieces of information.

First, not only gnolls, but they also found many level 1 and 2 monsters in the Giant Tree area, including boarmen.

Secondly, the giants have invaded the Giant Tree Region in extremely large numbers and destroyed many cities of the Gnoll civilization.

However, the giants were unable to control the giant tree area in the short term.

The main reason is that the terrain of this area is too unique.

The gnoll civilization, in alliance with lower-level monsters, waged a guerrilla war against the giants, relying on the giant trees.

Third, the wild giant boss "Collector" previously discovered in the agricultural state is also in the Giant Tree area.

Li Ye's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

If you can defeat this level 3 world boss, you will get a lot of resources, as well as the guaranteed level 4 item that drops!
He immediately summoned Zhou Xing, Fang Yong, Yang Zheng, and Lin Wu to begin discussing how to fight.

“Let’s send out my Peacemaker,” Yang Zheng suggested. “The electromagnetic railgun can bombard the Collector from a distance; it might just take it down with a single shot.”

In fact, Liye also had this plan.

However, he still had many concerns.

The terrain of the Giant Tree Zone is complex and varied, and due to the numerous obstructions from the giant trees, it is difficult to have a wide field of vision from a distance.

Furthermore, this region is inhabited by the gnoll civilization and a large number of giants. If the Peacemaker is deployed there rashly, it could easily be attacked.

"Then let's send out fighter jets to bomb him?" Fang Yong suggested.

“No.” Lin Wu shook his head. “If we’re at high altitude, the fighter jets’ view will be completely blocked by the trunks and branches of the giant trees. If we’re going into a forest of giant trees, it’s not as vast and flat as the sky. Instead, it’s all intertwined giant trees. The fighter jets would have to turn and fly constantly. It’s too troublesome.”

Seeing that one plan had failed, Fang Yong came up with another.

The Iron Whale activated its urban camouflage and stealthily approached the Collector. As the distance closed, it suddenly accelerated towards the wilderness boss, activating the Shattering Jaws cutting device to obliterate him!

Li Ye gently shook his head.

"Have you forgotten? The collector's glass case contains a Level 3 mobile city."

Fang Yong seemed to wake from a dream, his face instantly turning pale. The expressions of the others also changed slightly.

They now realize that collectors possess a powerful "containment capability".

Once a mobile city enters his range of capabilities, it will be quickly contained.

"Do you understand? This wild boss can only be taken down remotely," Li Ye reminded him.

As he was talking, he suddenly had a new idea.

The terrain of this level 3 area is very suitable for deploying special forces.

Using jetpacks and climbing grapples, special forces members can move nimbly through the giant trees, demonstrating exceptional agility.

By having special forces distract and draw the collector's attention, the Peacekeeper, now in urban camouflage, quietly enters the firing line and fires an electromagnetic railgun to blast the collector away.

After picking up the dropped items, quickly evacuate.

Upon learning of Li Ye's idea, everyone nodded in agreement.

"This method is indeed feasible."

"So, how many mobile cities do you plan to send out this time, Lord?" Zhou Xing asked.

Li Ye revealed his plans.

Not only the Peacemaker, but also the Iron Whale and the Star will be setting sail this time.

However, the duty of these two mobile cities is not to attack the Collector, but to protect the Peacemaker.

The Tomorrow and Engineer will remain in the basin area to gather resources. Gunships, fighters, marines, and Prometheus will be responsible for their defense.

Furthermore, the implementation of urban camouflage further enhances security.

"Then let's do it this way!" Li Ye waved his hand.

To facilitate command of the operation, he will travel on the Starship.

Lin Wu, on the other hand, stayed on the Tomorrow to serve as temporary commander.

According to the helicopter pilot who discovered the collector, the collector was located on the outskirts of the Forest of Giant Trees, only a little over 100 kilometers from the Basin region.

When the Collector is spotted, this wild boss is attacking a gnoll town.

The gnoll town happens to contain a defensive force deployed by the gnoll civilization specifically to counter it—a mobile urban combat cluster.

But the collector took something out of the glass case and threw it out.

That was clearly a lake.

The moment it was detached from the glass case and thrown out, the lake released its previous stagnant and shrunken state, instantly returning to its original appearance.

The mobile urban warfare cluster, along with the entire gnoll town, was instantly engulfed.

Not only that, the area where the collector was located was also turned into a swamp.

After dealing with the paralyzed mobile city combat cluster in the water, the Collector also took over the town.

After closing the glass cabinet door, he left, completely satisfied.

The direction they were traveling was southeast.

After the planning was completed, the Star, the Peacemaker, and the Iron Whale set sail.

Li Ye had already arrived on the deck of the Starship.

To facilitate command, he temporarily installed the city radio station and radio equipment on the Starship.

In fact, when Li Ye stepped onto the Starship, a level 1 mobile city, he felt the familiar feeling of combat and survival from the past had returned.

In addition to conventional firepower, the Starship also deploys bullfrog vehicles, special forces, and Black Hawk helicopters.

He turned his gaze away and began to carefully observe the scenery before him.

Walking through this forest of giant trees feels like stepping into a land forgotten by time.

Beneath our feet lies a layer of humus, and as the mobile city moves, its tires and tracks sink deep into the moss and fallen leaves. The air is filled with the damp scent of earth, mixed with the fragrance of resin and ancient aromas.

Looking up, the giant trees resembled pillars reaching to the sky, their bark crisscrossed with deep grooves large enough for a person to hide in.

Light is redefined here. Sunlight is filtered through layers of tree canopy, leaving only scattered fragments of gold on the ground, forming hazy pillars of light in the mist.

Occasionally, a breeze would sweep through the treetops, and a magnificent resonance would resound through the forest of giant trees, like a deep chant coming from the depths of the earth.

Countless fluorescent spores were shaken off and drifted like a sea of ​​stars in the dark forest.

As he looked at it, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head with a hint of regret.

This area of ​​giant trees would indeed be a great tourist attraction.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of monsters here.

A dozen minutes later, he saw the highway the helicopter pilot had mentioned.

This highway was built on a wide forest road and was extremely solid and broad.

Li Ye understood immediately.

This highway is not only for the vehicles of the jackals, but also for the mobile city.

"This level 3 monster civilization seems to have pretty good infrastructure capabilities," he couldn't help but think.

Not only that, but Li Ye also discovered a gas station belonging to the gnoll civilization by the roadside.

The gas station was built in a modern architectural style, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed by the giants.

A few giants still roam this forest.

To avoid alerting the giants and the gnoll civilization, the three mobile cities simultaneously activated their urban camouflage and slowed down to minimize the noise they made.

However, this would significantly increase the time required to reach the destination.

Considering that there were still several hours to go, Li Ye ordered everyone to rest well and recharge, and he himself went to sleep.

A few hours later, Li Ye was awakened by a series of violent noises.

"Have we encountered the enemy?"

He quickly got up, dressed, and went to the deck of the Starship.

However, there was no sign of the three mobile cities firing; the noise was coming from not far away.

To find out what was going on, Li Ye dispatched special forces.

As the bullfrog vehicle's air cannons were activated, special forces members sped off into the distance one after another.

The jetpack's reaction force counteracted the force of the climbing grappling hooks, allowing the members to cling securely to the giant tree.

Immediately afterwards, they activated their jetpacks again and quickly climbed upwards.

Seeing this, Li Ye nodded slowly.

"The terrain of this Giant Tree Forest is indeed impressive."

For special forces, it is an excellent battlefield, just like urban ruins.

Soon, the special forces had gathered a clear picture of the situation ahead.

The Wild Boss Collector is right there.

He was engaged in fierce combat with the forces of the Gnoll civilization.

In order to eliminate the Collector, the Gnoll civilization dispatched about twenty Level 1 mobile cities with Level 3 configurations.

Even a level 3 monster civilization would find it difficult to mobilize such a large amount of armed forces at once.

This is probably the foundation of the gnoll civilization.

The reason for such a large-scale mobilization is probably because the collector destroyed many cities.

These level 1 mobile cities are cunning; they don't approach the collector, but instead rely on their high speed and terrain to bombard the collector from a distance.

Collectors, on the other hand, frantically threw various items from the glass cases at them.

Every throw by this wild boss caused violent tremors throughout the forest.

He was not fighting alone; he was surrounded by hundreds of giants.

The giants roared as they launched their attack on the level 1 assault city.

However, the gnoll civilization clearly held the upper hand in the battle.

A level 1 assault-type city combat capability with a level 3 configuration is quite astonishing.

The assault-type city bombards the giants while moving at high speed.

The numerous level 3 cannons on the fire support city deck opened fire wildly, killing more than a dozen attacking giants.

As for defensive cities, they were even more ferocious, accelerating directly to maximum speed and crashing headlong into the giants.

They were like heavy super cannonballs, directly knocking the giants backward, their bodies collapsing and blood gushing from their mouths.

What surprised Li Ye the most was that the Gnoll civilization also had special forces, and their configuration was similar to that of the Tomorrow.

The jackals darted and weaved among the giant trees, brandishing guns and grenades, and bombarded the giants relentlessly.

Under intense fire, the giants fell one after another, and even the collector was badly wounded.

The collector appeared extremely angry, and after a roar, he quickly pulled something out of the glass case.
