Chapter 542 Initial Sweep
The plan to capture the Caines Courtyard was somewhat different from what Mu Hua had originally conceived. After many calculations, he could not find a permanent solution.
A fortress city had little impact, but in terms of the development rhythm in recent years, if it did not experience five to ten years of stable development, the population and order in the Caines Courtyard would not be enough to build a normal social system.
If it left an impression of being overbearing and strong, and there were negative rumors about adventurers withdrawing from the courtyard, then the land where more monsters were expelled might instead become a place where bandits were rampant, chaos, and frequent appearances of demons.
After all, it was a new courtyard that lacked a human foundation. In order to stabilize the adventurers in the courtyard, Mu Hua finally chose an area as his main development foundation and formed a cooperative relationship with the major forces in the courtyard.
The convection of cold and hot air formed gusts of wind that lifted gravel.
The Snow Ridge Ranch was not a completely snow-covered area. Half of the area was free of wind and snow, but the temperature here was still below normal.
The fire magic that exploded everywhere brought about a temperature difference, causing hurricanes to mix on this fertile land without wind and snow, gradually gathering into a storm scene.
Hellhounds, groups of three or five hellhounds are very fierce, but the monsters in the Snow Ridge Ranch are not of low standard in the front half of the courtyard. Even if it is a hellhound, if it breaks into the monster camp that has been warned, it is likely to fall in the ambush of the monsters.
But if even hellhounds can burst out vermilion new stars at any time, and hellhounds can burst out explosive flames from time to time, then when these bullies in hell gather together, I am afraid that heaven will be rendered in the color of hell.
There are 3,000 hellhounds, and these villains in hell are all evolved from hybrid monsters. Because this method of evolution and enslavement is very successful, Mu Hua has even thought about getting other hybrid monsters.
Mu Hua dared not let down his guard against demons. After many contracts, the ultimate contract master of these hellhounds was Monday. The biggest disadvantage was that no matter whether Monday or Mu Hua died, this nest of hellhounds would naturally be destroyed.
This was also the fundamental reason why Mu Hua wanted to make a hybrid of demons and monsters, but was not keen on it.
These hellhounds were directly controlled by Monday. They spread out from east to west in the Snow Ridge Ranch, exploring the gathering places of monsters and attacking all monsters they encountered recklessly.
But the scope of the Snow Ridge Ranch was too large after all. When these hellhounds, which were mainly used for harassment and reconnaissance, were everywhere, they looked more like harmful beasts, but it was difficult for them to form an offensive.
They bit and tore, and when they encountered a group of enemies, they spit out magic and ran away. The dogs barked and roared continuously. After a while, more hellhounds gathered to fight back. When they encountered a hidden gathering place of monsters, they did not attack them, but wandered around, waiting for reinforcements, just like cunning and insidious jackals.
Originally, Mu Hua planned to invest all his forces to forcefully push the front half of the Kanins Courtyard. Although it was impossible, when he concentrated more of his forces on a certain area, the battle was no longer urgent, and fishing on the Abyss Island could continue safely.
At this time, a huge beast floated in the sky, and Mu Hua could even watch the battles in various places while lying on Thursday's back to krypton the Hundred Refining Secret Stone.
The stable battle situation was much more comfortable than his original plan that involved a lot of aspects. Moreover, the victory and success in reality did not seem to have much direct relationship with hardship and torture. The current battle mode seemed to be more stable.
"Stop! Surrender! We are willing to pay the ransom!" In a gathering place for monsters with a bunker castle, a roaring demon on the wall shouted loudly.
At this time, hundreds of headless knights were riding horses around the city. At the main gate of the castle, a large group of skeleton generals wearing lich robes held the formed magic in their hands.
Because of the hood, the howling demon couldn't tell whether they were liches or skeletons, but when a large group of spellcasters were brewing magic, dozens of monsters with strange shapes floated in the air, driving a large number of summoned beasts of various races to attack the magic traps outside the fortress.
This is a monster fortress located in a hidden place. At this time, the defensive magic outside the fortress has not been destroyed, but thick smoke has risen inside the fortress. Looking down from a high place, you can also see a large area of bloody land in the fortress.
Civil strife in the fortress?
No, the main function of the Snow Ridge Ranch in this courtyard is to cultivate relatively cheap living forces for the owner of the courtyard.
At this stage, this area has more body monsters than other areas, which is also one of the reasons why Mu Hua turned his attention here.
As for the origin of those body monsters? The so-called cultivation of monsters cannot be created out of nothing, which is similar to raising them. In addition to the monsters and orcs captured from hell, the monsters here will also use some equipment, magic arrays and other things to catalyze demon eggs.
Involving hatching, it also involves reproduction, and then in some relatively safe places, those monsters are selected, trained, and cultivated, etc. If they are really disobedient, they can be killed and eaten, or released into the wild as wild monsters.
However, because most places where monsters are raised have a certain degree of defense, it is normal to come here to get demon corpses, but it is not as safe as those places like Evernight Ridge and Crater.
At this time, the abnormal situation in the fortress is probably that the demons here destroyed the valuable items in the fortress and killed some of the raised monsters.
On the one hand, it can make the soldiers full of blood, on the other hand, I am afraid that I don’t want the enemy to gain experience and flesh and blood materials from those monsters.
The huge body of Thursday, like a ray, floated over the fortress. It was probably the fundamental reason why the demons in the fortress shouted surrender. Mu Hua stood on Thursday, looking down from a high place, observing the situation in the fortress, secretly unhappy.
Capturing the courtyard is not about destroying the world. If it is not necessary, humans will not randomly throw magic that causes great damage to nature.
The leaders of the monsters in the courtyard also like to play a tug-of-war with humans, so whether it is humans or monsters, some powerful spellcasters are often positioned as the finale deterrent, and generally will not easily go down and open the big.
"Blast them for me." Mu Hua stomped his feet on Thursday's body and said in annoyance.
"Buzz~!" The magic circle was drawn, and the slowly drawn huge magic circle caused the surrounding magic power to surge. When the giant beast was brewing magic, the running terror riders on the ground gathered tacitly to the front of the fortress.
"Buzz~!" The aurora shot out. It took Thursday longer to brew the aurora than the normal casting of this magic, but the aurora was tens of meters in diameter. Even if Mu Hua was to cast it, it would probably take no less time than Thursday to cast it with such intensity.
"Boom~!" The demons in the fort seemed to be still shouting something, but unfortunately the aurora had already swept to the top of the city, and the high-energy charged particles condensed into a beam of light that seemed to cut the earth.
The lightning concealed the high temperature of the flames. Under the continuous impact of the aurora, the defensive magic covering the fort collapsed.
A gap equivalent to the aurora was swept out in the vertical direction of the fortress. The gap with the color of lava was like a wide and straight road, a scorched road that destroyed the fortress and extended thousands of meters behind the fortress.
Atonement? I have made a strong defense, so what is the atonement?
In the war between monsters and humans, there is indeed a concept of redemption money. Some monsters do not want to lose the projection sacrifice after death, so they will pay a redemption money slightly lower than the sacrifice value to buy their lives.
Because this situation often occurs before the battle between humans and monsters officially begins, monsters save money, and humans do not need to consider the battle consumption and casualties. Both sides have profit, which is not unacceptable.
Unfortunately, Mu Hua is not here to collect money this time. They are here to occupy. Not to mention killing all the monsters here, at least they have to kill them to the bloody hills.
To say that the aurora on Thursday has also caused great damage to the environment. If the "road" swept by it is not specially treated, it is estimated that the ground will not be revitalized within a hundred years.
However, in the early stage of the regional attack, the full-scale chaos will inevitably cause some scars to the land. The so-called try is more of a better idea. After all, Mu Hua is not that careful. If it doesn't work, let the tree herders come to cultivate the land.
The city defense was broken, and the skeleton mages, whose size had increased several times compared to the early years, used magic to cleanse the city.
The warhorses roared, and the headless knights wielded swords and guns and rushed into the city, including the rear of the city that formed a defensive area with the help of the terrain, which ushered in the bloody massacre of the headless knights.
The headless knights, these headless knights are not the original summoned beasts of Mu Hua, they are the followers derived from Mu Hua, they can grow, they can be krypton gold, all of them are engraved with the corpse engraving, and they are stronger than those summoned terror knights.
When they have the potential for growth, these headless knights may be truly worthy of their title of "terror knights".
The headless knights rushed in front, followed by a large number of summoned beasts driven by monsters. These monsters are Thursday's followers. Although they cannot get close to the abyss, if Thursday is in the outside world, they are Thursday's guards.
The attributes of these monsters are generally stuck at the upper limit of 2,000, which comes from the forced summoning gems. Mu Hua basically did not cultivate them and let them grow naturally.
With less than 20 people, Si Thursday can control them completely. Although he did not get the followers with attributes comparable to Si Thursday as Mu Hua imagined, the monsters with 2,000 attributes are probably not weaker than the demon generals in the courtyard, and they still have strong combat power.
The number makes up for their physical defects to a certain extent. As Si Thursday's guards, they are also qualified.
However, judging from the current battle, their summoned beasts are generally some lame cannon fodder, basically some low-level monsters that are not very presentable.
They don't have powerful summoned beasts? No, the attributes are already 2,000, what summoned beasts are there? Their powerful summoned beasts were all given away at Mu Hua's request.
Even Si Thursday's followers were not just these dozen, what about the others?
Well, because those few got some really outstanding summoned beasts, Mu Hua introduced them to his own Burning Source Furnace.
Poked, melted, first sent the summoned beasts to others, then poked, then melted.
And it was because of them that Mu Hua found that it was not a loss to give the forced summoning gems to Si Tzu and let it bring back some monsters. . .
