"They're gone."
Xu Tian said no more. He exchanged a glance with Feng Xue and Chen Xu, and the three of them, along with the wolf pack, jumped back into the box that Dianfeng had just placed.
A purple halo appeared, and the figure vanished.
Peak confirmed the teleportation was complete, quickly packed up the box, slid into the newly dug cave, and then completely sealed the entrance from the inside.
Darkness enveloped him, and he began to focus intently on sensing any subtle vibrations coming from the ground.
Eshilia Base.
With a flash of light, the blocky-shaped [World Domination] stretched out its arm and steadily pulled Xu Tian, Feng Xue, and Chen Xu out of the Ender Chest.
"The situation has changed."
As soon as Xu Tianfu landed, he spoke in a deep voice in the players' voice channel.
"That goblin tribe was much larger than expected, and it contained a considerable number of elite individuals. These elite goblins not only possessed magic power, but also had extremely high combat intelligence. It would be difficult for conventional wolf pack charges and player squad assaults to break through them head-on."
There was a moment of silence in the channel, then Chen Xu's voice rang out, tinged with a helpless smile.
"That thing can sever an arm to survive, so it must be very smart."
"so".
Xu Tian issued the order.
"We need a heavy-armored force of sufficient strength. Everyone, immediately drop all non-urgent tasks. Target: iron ore. I need a massive amount of iron ingots, the more the better."
He then spoke in the public chat channel for all players.
"Killing the goblin's iron golem will also count towards the reward for the person who provided the iron block. Everyone, if you don't want to miss out, hurry to the mine. This is a server-wide operation."
The news caused an instant uproar throughout the base.
[Niu Niu: Holy crap, an iron golem army? Are they going all out?]
[Life is like the first time we met: Finally, a large-scale team battle is about to begin, and my diamond pickaxe has been itching to get to work for ages]
[Morning: How much iron is needed?]
[Unique in the World: The more the better. A set of iron blocks can only be combined into 16 iron golems. To achieve overwhelming dominance, we need at least...]
Xu Tian's rapid mental arithmetic.
Facing thousands of goblins, including troublesome elite units, the iron golems must have an overwhelming numerical advantage.
Considering potential losses and tactical requirements...
"Let's start with a target of one hundred."
He was resolute.
"But this is just the beginning; the upper limit depends on how much iron we can dig up."
"One hundred iron golems..."
A collective gasp filled the channel.
That means at least four hundred iron blocks, or two thousand five hundred and sixty iron ingots.
This is an astronomical number; with only a few dozen players currently online, it might not be possible to gather enough players in a short time.
Xu Tian's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"The main player is responsible for efficient mining deep into the rich mineral layer. At the same time, I can mobilize the newly joined NPC villagers, who number more than 30. Although they are not as efficient as the players, they can be responsible for clearing shallow mineral veins and transporting materials."
Chapter 79 The Unquenchable Fire Wall
“I can give NPCs gathering tasks and pay them gold coins as a reward. They have just settled down and urgently need to obtain currency to buy food and basic supplies, so they will be very motivated.”
Xu Tian immediately switched his consciousness and controlled [Conquering the World] to walk towards the villagers who were busily building the first batch of temporary shelters on the open space at the edge of the base.
When the old village chief Jesse saw the imposing blocky administrator approaching, he immediately stopped what he was doing and bowed respectfully.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"[Aspire to the pinnacle of power]" he said with an air of authority.
"Village Chief Jessie, there is an urgent task that requires everyone's help. In order to resist foreign enemies and protect our common home, we need a large amount of iron ore to be smelted into iron ingots."
He paused for a moment, looked at the emaciated refugees in front of him, and offered them a condition they could not refuse.
"This is not unpaid labor. For every sixteen iron ingots you hand over, you can exchange them for one gold coin from me. Gold coins are the common currency in this land."
"With it, you can buy plenty of food, better tools, clothing, and even materials for building sturdier houses in the future from players."
"gold?"
"Can I buy food?"
"really?"
A barely suppressed commotion and whispers immediately arose among the villagers.
The memory of hunger is etched in their minds, and nothing moves them more than a stable supply of food.
Although they can obtain food through development, it is mostly ordinary food, and they also want to eat better food.
Clara squeezed to the front, looked up, and asked eagerly.
"Sir, where should we dig?"
Behind her, many villagers gripped the stone pickaxes distributed to them, their eyes burning with longing.
"At the foot of the mountain on the east side of the base, we have marked several safe mine entrances."
【Aspiring to the pinnacle of power】points to one direction.
"There is basic torch lighting inside, and our people are also conducting deeper mining. You can work in a relatively safe area near the entrance."
"Remember, safety first. If you encounter any danger, evacuate immediately and report it."
"Yes, sir."
Jesse's beard trembled with excitement as he turned and shouted to the villagers.
"Did you all hear that? This is a way for us to make a living, and we can even earn gold. If you're strong, come with me."
More than 30 villagers, including some teenagers, immediately surrounded Jesse and Clara, carrying stone pickaxes, and ran towards the mining area.
Meanwhile, the players had already taken action.
Dozens of figures swarmed into the main mine tunnels like locusts.
The sounds of digging with diamond pickaxes and enchanted pickaxes filled the air.
To improve efficiency, the players spontaneously divided the work and cooperated.
The wind and snow prevented us from going down into the mine.
She returned to her wolf den, a large area enclosed by a fence.
Inside, more than two hundred snow-white giant wolves were resting.
She opened her backpack and frantically fed them all the roasted lamb she had previously stored away.
"Eat up, eat more."
She murmured softly.
The wolves swarmed in and feasted.
A subtle, vibrant commotion arose within the wolf pack.
Countless acts of kindness emerged.
The upper limit of wolf population is being broken, and new life is being conceived.
She needs a larger wolf pack, not just for fighting, but also for more complex tactical execution and battlefield control that may be needed in the future.
Time flew by amidst the frantic work.
In the central square of the base, iron ingots began to pile up in front of the "Conquer the World" statue.
At first, there were only a few or a dozen scattered pieces, but they quickly turned into neatly arranged groups of squares.
Players use Ender Chests and backpacks to transport items back and forth, making it extremely efficient.
The villagers carried the smelted iron ingots from the mining area time and time again.
For every sixteen iron ingots they hand over, they will receive a gold coin from [Conquering the World].
As the sun began to set and dusk settled in, the sun began to set.
Xu Tian glanced at the backpack interface of [Conquering the World].
The number of iron ingots has exceeded three thousand and is still increasing at a steady rate.
"That's about it."
He estimated the time.
It was late at night in Asheria's territory, a perfect time to take action.
There are enough iron ingots to synthesize more than one hundred iron golems, and the players' supplies are ready.
"Thank you to all the brothers who participated in mining."
He shouted into the channel.
"Brothers, bring your best equipment, assemble in the central square of the base, and prepare for battle."
A few minutes later, fully armed players lined up in the square.
Behind Feng Xue followed a wolf pack that had grown noticeably larger.
Xu Tian walked to the front of the group, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said in a deep voice.
"Iron golems are the core of our attack in this battle, but they are not invincible. Especially when facing intelligent enemies who may adopt roaming and harassment tactics, their sluggish movement speed is a fatal flaw."
"Therefore, we cannot let them come out to fight; we must let them go in to fight."
"What we need to do is create an inescapable arena for this tribe."
"Build? How do you build it?"
