Chapter 629
629 Opening the overseas battlefield (1)
The scene that had happened on the battlefield had long been recorded by others. It could be considered a major event in the Holy Dragon City.
“When the Holy Dragon City was upgraded to a Grade 6 city, it was besieged by the Allied forces of the four cities. The total number of enemies was over 130000!
No one had expected that such a terrifying number of enemies would be completely defeated by Holy Dragon City in less than half an hour.
With countless deaths and injuries, the enemy fled in defeat. They were then chased by the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers. In the end, most of the enemies knelt and surrendered, while a small number were shot dead on the spot.”
A record of only a hundred words represented the tragic ending of countless enemies of the foreign races!
The post-war Statistics showed that the Holy Dragon City had killed tens of thousands of enemies in the process of defending the city. Except for a very small number of foreign enemies who had escaped, the rest were all captured by the Holy Dragon City.
In the future, they would be sent to various construction sites in the Wildlands to partic.i.p.ate in construction work such as repairing bridges and paving roads, becoming the cheapest labor force.
As for whether they would be able to return to their homeland in the future, no one knew at the moment, but the possibility should be extremely low!
As for the aftermath of the battle, such as taking over the a.s.sets of the four defeated loucheng, Tang Zhen no longer needed to worry about it. There would naturally be someone to deal with it.
Therefore, after the battle ended, Tang Zhen led everyone back to the city and began to study the matter of conquering the overseas region.
Most of them had heard of the overseas region and knew that it was a place even more desolate and dangerous than the Wildlands.
In fact, no one was very clear about the actual situation there.
After Tang Zhen asked situ Yuanzhi and the others, he found out some details about the situation in the overseas region.
It was different from the continent Tang Zhen and the others were on. No one knew where the ocean was, but it was definitely a paradise for monsters.
Not only were there countless high-level Lord-tier monsters, but there were also many King-tier monsters.
These monsters either lived in groups or were alone. They were fierce and cruel, and most of them had their own territory.
In addition to these monsters, there were also Aboriginals in the ocean. They were collectively called the Barbarian race by the cultivators of loucheng, and they existed in tribes of various sizes.
They ate raw meat, drank blood, and even had the bad habit of eating people. They hated the cultivators of Lou city and would hunt them down if they saw them!
Another point was that wild buildings would never appear in these overseas lands, but there were ancient ruins of buildings. However, most of their locations were hidden and dangerous, so they were rarely discovered.
The cultivators of loucheng could obtain all kinds of skills from the cornerstone platform, while the barbarians would sacrifice their brains to the totems of the tribe to awaken the innate abilities in their bloodlines.
Therefore, in terms of combat power, these barbarians were not afraid of the cultivators in loucheng. In fact, they were even slightly better in terms of physique.
The advantage of the cultivators in loucheng was that they could exchange for various items through the cornerstone platform. Therefore, their equipment far exceeded that of the barbarians.
However, as the battle went on for a long time, the barbarians also seized a large number of relics from the cultivators in the city, so the disadvantage in equipment was gradually narrowed.
In addition, Tang Zhen also learned from situ Yuanzhi that if he wanted to completely control an area and integrate it into Lou Cheng’s territory, he had to kill the totem Lord of the Barbarian tribe who controlled the area!
The totems of small tribes were controlled by the totem Masters of large tribes, and the areas they affected were also different in size.
After successfully killing these totems and barbarians, he would be able to obtain a large amount of battle merits. At this time, he needed to kill one more totem Lord to successfully advance to a level Seven building!
These totems weren’t solid, but were like spirits. Their abilities were strange and unpredictable. As for the Masters of the totems, they were basically king cla.s.s.
Many of the towers were stuck at this stage in the overseas battlefields after they advanced to level six. Due to the difference in strength, they were unable to kill the tribal totem Masters!
Some of the level 6 towers were even heavily damaged as a result. Large numbers of cultivators were lost here, and they could not recover for decades or even centuries.
After all, not every sixth grade city was like the Holy Dragon City, with so many Lord level cultivators, and even the city Lord himself was a two star King level super expert!
Therefore, the quests that were difficult for other newly-advanced level 6 turreted cities were not too difficult for Holy Dragon City.
However, if the Holy Dragon City was unlucky and was randomly a.s.signed to a giant tribe with a powerful totem, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
However, once he really encountered such a situation, Tang Zhen would rather take over a piece of wasteland than use the ultimate weapon in his hands to destroy the enemy!
He was not willing to waste his time in such a meaningless battle. All he wanted was to acc.u.mulate battle merits as quickly as possible so that Holy Dragon City could be upgraded to a top-tier city as soon as possible.
Of course, this was only Tang Zhen’s plan. Everything was still unknown before they officially entered the overseas battlefield.
In the time that Tang Zhen had been away, the Holy Dragon city’s war preparations had been completed. They could March straight into the battlefields overseas at any time.
In the end, Tang Zhen decided to rest for a period of time before officially sending troops to the overseas region!
After the meeting ended, the entire Holy Dragon City became busy once again. The Holy Dragon City cultivators in charge of the exploration of the overseas region also stepped through the giant bronze door at this moment.
Tang Zhen would pay attention to any major event that would determine the tower’s fate at the first possible moment. This time, he personally led a team of a hundred Holy Dragon city’s elite cultivators to investigate the enemy’s situation.
In the valley behind the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen was the first to step through the huge door and entered the mysterious and profound pa.s.sage.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Zhen felt his eyes brighten. He discovered that he was in a huge plain that was filled with a wild aura.
The mountain peak here was extremely huge, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it connected the sky and the earth. The trees in the distance covered the sky and the sun, and from time to time, the howls of monsters could be heard.
All kinds of strange plants bloomed on the plain, and strange-looking animals kept flashing among them.
Tang Zhen felt that there was a mistake in the rumors. This was because this place was simply a rich land compared to the Wildlands. How could there be a trace of desolation?
If such a land was included in the Holy Dragon city’s territory, Tang Zhen would be more than happy to do so.
However, it was precisely because of this that Tang Zhen was suddenly reluctant to destroy this place. After all, how could the value of a piece of wasteland be compared to the land in front of him?
The Holy Dragon city’s cultivators who followed Tang Zhen closely were also attracted by the scene in front of them. They couldn’t help but feel excited when they thought about how they would be able to claim this land as Holy Dragon City if they conquered the Barbarian race here.
As the residents of the city, they had long regarded the Holy Dragon City as their home. Who wouldn’t want their home to be beautiful and have a large piece of rich land?
For a moment, the cultivators ‘hearts were filled with the desire to fight, and they couldn’t wait to kill and drive away all the barbarians here!
After Tang Zhen saw the expressions of his subordinates, he faintly smiled and began to switch the map view to observe the surrounding situation.
The scenery within several hundred kilometers instantly appeared before Tang Zhen’s eyes. After observing for a moment, he casually pointed in a few directions.
When the Holy Dragon City cultivators behind him saw this, they immediately split up into groups and began to investigate in the direction that Tang Zhen had pointed out.
Tang Zhen, on the other hand, led the twenty Holy Dragon City cultivators through the sea of gra.s.s and trees, heading towards the largest tribe he had just seen.
Tang Zhen’s expression changed slightly after he had advanced for several tens of kilometers. He suddenly stopped.
The Holy Dragon City cultivators following behind him also stopped and looked at him with bright eyes.
“There are five small insects on the tree in front of us. Their bodies are the same color as the tree. Go and catch them.”
After Tang Zhen said this, he randomly picked a plant from the ground and placed it in front of his eyes to carefully observe.
Several Holy Dragon City cultivators heard this and immediately shot into the forest like lightning. They released their spiritual power to sense the abnormalities in the surrounding trees.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for them to find five Barbarian cultivators hiding against a tree trunk. They looked exactly like the trees and even their auras were extremely concealed!
Just as the Holy Dragon City cultivators discovered the barbarians, the barbarians also realized that they had been exposed. They all launched an attack on the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
They were like spirit apes, constantly flashing on the trees. At the same time, they used weapons similar to blowguns to attack the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
This barbarian’s blow dart was fast and fierce. The thin bone spike had actually penetrated into the trunk. Its power was quite amazing!
The darts that had fallen were all emitting a strange color. It was obvious that they had been dipped in poison by the barbarians.
However, no matter how vicious their weapons were, they couldn’t fight against a group of Lord-ranked cultivators. So, in just a dozen seconds, the five Barbarians were all captured.
Following that, the Holy Dragon City cultivators lifted their bound bodies and brought them to Tang Zhen, throwing them on the ground.
