Chapter 667 "Scorched Earth" Tactics (8000)
The dense red light constantly exudes scorching heat.
A lot of water was evaporated, and many tiny organisms and plants emerged from the land.
Unfortunately, it's too late for them to escape now.
The increasingly higher temperature burned the ground slightly red, completing a thorough disinfection and sterilization transformation.
It wasn't that Matthew was careless, but that the land of Catachan was too dangerous.
To completely master this place, Matthew didn't mind "burning" it piece by piece.
The reason why he can create such a large area of scorched earth is also inseparable from the powerful effect of the fire element energy pool.
Using them as the core, Matthew opened dozens of secondary fire element energy storage pools throughout this land.
He can easily solve this problem as long as he introduces a large number of fire elements from the fire element plane and lets them release more heat.
Of course, Matthew will not use such a large area at once, but will conduct experiments in small pieces as he is doing now.
Not only can you accumulate information and data first, but you can also avoid attracting attention.
Although Matthew is not aware of the existence of evil shadow spirits.
Even in front of the players, these things have never appeared at all.
But this did not delay Matthew at all, and he continued to act cautiously.
The means used to attract targets must naturally be as high-profile and public as possible.
The part that really works is to be as hidden and careful as possible.
After obtaining enough information and data, Matthew temporarily stopped the scorched earth transformation of the land within his control.
In the future, the Gulf Territory will definitely carry out large-scale development of the Catachan demiplane.
It is impossible to use scorched earth tactics to cover all the land.
That would not only consume a lot of materials, but also be a huge waste.
"For research on various specific plants, large-scale cultivation can be carried out."
"Even if the top part is cleared away, the land on the Catachan plane is still extremely fertile."
"More importantly, the "breath of life" that governs the land is very strong and is very suitable for the growth and cultivation of various magical plants."
"We need to open up various plantations and research areas as soon as possible and increase the development of Catachan land."
"Druids should be more careful here, avoid contact with certain dangerous entities, and always check their mental and physical status."
While Matthew handed over the task to Alona, he looked at the gathering troops, with a little bit of expectation and thinking in his eyes.
After several years of development and accumulation, it’s time to test the results.
The reason why Matthew wanted to gather the elite forces of the territory before the first elemental tide to complete such a war against a "quasi-natural disaster" level.
The purpose is to determine the current upper limit of the Gulf Territory's capabilities so as to adjust the subsequent development route and speed.
If Bay Territory can win.
Then the territory's development strategy will become bolder.
If you can withstand the opponent's pressure, you can always maintain a relatively stable confrontation.
Then Matthew will step up his efforts to improve his own strength and drive faster development of the territory.
If the Gulf Territory battle fails.
Although Matthew will feel regret, he will not be sad or disappointed. Instead, he will step up his efforts to develop the "treasure" in his memory.
At that time, the territory’s development strategy was adjusted.
The development pressure brought to everyone will naturally become greater.
Most of the Evil Shadow Spirit's attention is focused on the Catachan tribe.
But even so, he still allocated a lot of energy to keep an eye on the actions of the Gulf Leader.
Sure enough, they soon discovered the large gathering of Gulf Territory soldiers.
The evil shadow spirits who had specially reduced their strength were not worried about the Gulf Territory soldiers taking the initiative to attack.
On the contrary, they have been looking forward to this scene for a long time.
Just as the Gulf Territory is collecting their information, they also need more time and contact to understand various situations in the Gulf Territory.
"Roar……!"
The deafening roar of the dragon echoed from the sky.
The flying dragon troops led by Yaya flew side by side towards the Catachan jungle ahead.
Yaya opened his mouth, and the flames of destruction continued to condense, and then vented out wantonly.
The other flying dragons also opened their mouths at the same time, following the trajectory of the fangs, spitting dragon breath wantonly.
The raging fire burst into the Catachan jungle.
The jungle ignited by the flames suddenly seemed to come alive, trying to surround the flames and extinguish them.
Yaya had already anticipated their actions, and while continuing to push the flames to burn, he released the fuel package on his claws.
The burning flame ignited the fallen fuel package and ignited the fuel inside.
Whoops!
Boom!
Small mushroom clouds emerged, and fiery red flames continued to spread around.
The greedy flames instantly destroyed the surrounding activated plants.
The violent force of the spreading flames tore them into pieces and burned them to ashes.
Before the evil shadow spirits could react, they briefly lost control of the Catachan jungle.
After completing the dragon breath attack, Yaya and the flying dragons were not idle.
Under the leadership of Yaya, they began to attack the larger activated plants.
These large living plants usually turn into plant aggregates that serve as control cores.
It is difficult for soldiers walking on the ground to detect their camouflage, and it is also difficult to eliminate them at a fixed point.
The flying dragons in the sky are different.
Large plants are usually much taller than other plants. From the perspective of the sky, they are not too conspicuous.
Moreover, most flying dragon knights have large activated enemy detection devices to further improve the accuracy of attacks.
Crack!
Yaya, who swooped down, easily broke the thick trunk of a big tree.
Light green juice gushed out, and the big tree that was motionless just now immediately swayed violently.
Yaya did not give it a chance to react, and took advantage of it before it completed the activation transformation.
The huge and thick tail, with the help of the impact of the gallop, slammed the top of the tree trunk.
Crack!
The thick tree trunk was slapped with a huge gap, and then it was pulled down by Yaya's sharp claws.
The big tree that was broken into two pieces lost its life in trembling, and only broken branches were left in the end.
The other dragons were not to be outdone, and they all rushed towards their targets.
Under the training of the Gulf Territory, they have greatly improved and grown in size, strength, body structure and special expertise.
The "fast training" of the Gulf Territory is not only suitable for professionals and soldiers.
After several semi-forced trainings, these obedient dragons immediately realized the benefits of this aspect.
Especially in Yaya's education and training, they gradually came into contact with the "enlightenment" from the Tree of Wisdom, and their wisdom and thinking ability were greatly improved.
Some of the dragon commanders are developing and activating the power of their bloodline.
Most of the dragon knights are not only powerful, but also need to register and record the situation of the dragons, understand and gain insight into their growth process and information.
The Druid Research Institute of the Gulf Territory has made plans to strengthen and study dragons and sub-dragons.
The Gulf Territory does not exclude the participation of other creatures.
Just like the cooperation between the Gulf Territory and the Leviathans.
Click!
The dragons with greatly increased wisdom did not fight to the death with these big trees.
After destroying their branches, the dragons quickly took off again to avoid possible sudden attacks.
The destruction caused by Fangya and the dragons caused the evil shadow spirits' ability to control this area to the lowest point.
The flames that continued to spread, like a greedy beast, spread wantonly to the surroundings.
The various burned Catachan plants were not as quiet as before, and they all showed their hideous and terrifying side.
Some grew tentacles.
Some turned from trees into a large pile of gathered vines.
Some transformed into animal forms.
Some even mutated into twisted plant bodies, trying to escape the coverage of the flames.
Faced with the terrible flames, most plants could not resist this special power.
Burning!
A large number of plants could not resist the spreading flames.
The twisted creatures that were gathered together realized that they were out of control and began to flee in all directions.
It was at this time that the Gulf Army rushed out of the gate quickly, and lined up to advance into the chaotic twisted jungle.
Rumble!
The magic artillery fired at the same time.
The gushing flames exploded, directly shattering the fire field that spread over, and also blew most of the jungle plants into pieces.
The spreading backward covering magic artillery fired, clearing a large neat area in the jungle.
Aini looked at the broken trees, which were flattened by more than 10 large magic bulldozers.
She looked at the large space cleared for movement, and her eyes trembled slightly, and immediately understood the combat intentions of the Gulf Army.
The Catachan Jungle is too dangerous for ordinary soldiers to enter.
Not only will they face various enemies with home advantage, but they will also encounter various terrible non-combat casualties.
Both combat effectiveness and morale will suffer a huge blow.
The Gulf Territory's approach is more domineering. Since you have the home advantage, just smash the whole field.
Let's open up a new battlefield!
The neatly arranged soldiers marched forward in a line.
Their team is no longer like before, with shieldmen in front, spearmen at the back, and crossbowmen at the back.
The gunners pushing the self-propelled magic artillery actually stood at the outermost edge of the entire team.
They continued to fire at both sides and the front, and blasted all the jungles within a range of 500 to 1,000 meters around with magic artillery.
The agile scouts wandered around the periphery of the team.
They cleared out the twisted monsters that escaped the disaster at fixed points to prevent them from approaching the Gulf Territory's line.
As for those lucky ones who escaped the disaster.
If they fled outside, they were not within their attack range.
Every step forward of the Gulf Territory's army was accompanied by the roar of artillery fire and shooting.
The huge mechanical engineering golem, escorted by the army, quickly cleaned up the broken plants.
The evil shadow spirits who saw this scene had all kinds of strange ideas in their heads.
"Their way of fighting is a bit shameless!"
"There is no way. We lack long-range attacks and it is difficult to pose a threat to them."
"We have some advantages in close combat, but they have no intention of close combat at all."
"The Gulf Territory is different from the Catachans. They have escaped the shackles of close combat..."
"Either we follow up quickly and develop a way to conduct long-range shooting..."
"Or...we temporarily ignore the Gulf Territory and allow them to expand..."
"Although they have a large number of people, they are far inferior to the large-scale Catachans."
"I think it is good to develop some long-range attacks. Anyway, it takes a long time to take effect. Early preparation can also take effect earlier."
"That requires a considerable amount of resource investment, and a relatively safe environment."
"Who will provide this resource?"
"Everyone invests some, and try it first and then Speak..."
"Keep watching the Gulf Territory and see what weapons they have, so we can prepare ourselves mentally in advance."
"Once we have cleaned up the Catachans, we will have plenty of time to fight with the Gulf Territory..."
"If the Gulf Territory does this, it will definitely consume a lot of resources and manpower..."
"Intelligent creatures are troublesome. As long as they don't get any benefits, they won't do anything that is thankless."
"That's right, just like other intelligent creatures..."
"Hehe, that's true."
"It won't be long before they start fighting among themselves..."
"..."
The evil shadow spirits really understand intelligent creatures very well, understand the contradictions between them, and know how to play to their strengths.
They have enough capital to wait slowly.
As long as they study the enemy's weaknesses and use huge resources, they can pursue and attack these weaknesses.
Fortunately, the "greeting gift" given to them by the Gulf Territory is very substantial, which temporarily dissuades them from attacking.
Their ideas are good, but unfortunately they underestimate the determination and execution of the Gulf Territory.
Without the manipulation and arrangement of the evil shadow spirits, the twisted plants and creatures in the Catachan jungle could not stop the advance of the Gulf Territory.
Every time the Gulf Territory's army went to a place, they would use magic artillery to bombard it, and then use large mechanical engineering golems to clean up the debris and open up a road to push forward.
In particular, the horizontal push of several mechanical road bullies soon pulled up two walls on the ground that had just been flattened.
This would indeed be more troublesome. Every step forward for the Gulf Territory would consume a lot of energy and materials.
But there is also an advantage to doing so, which is that it greatly reduces the fear and fear of the Gulf Territory soldiers for the Catachan jungle.
They have a deep understanding of their own advantages. Usually, they should not approach the Catachan jungle. As long as they can reasonably use long-range attacks, it will be fine.
Just when the Gulf Territory's front army was advancing in a mighty manner.
The flying dragon troops led by Yaya had quietly left the front battlefield.
After a long while, the evil shadow spirits suddenly remembered this and immediately became nervous again.
A few days ago, Yaya and Oriana controlled Yaya No. 1 and hunted Catachan demons in a mysterious way.
For all the evil shadow spirits, it left a very deep impression.
At the critical moment of the battle, the trump card of the Bay Leader disappeared, so it must be checked!
Thinking of this, the evil shadow spirits suddenly felt that long-range attacks alone seemed far from enough!
Without flying troops, there was no way to deal with Yaya and the dragon knights!
The evil shadow spirits were very sharp in their guesses. Yaya and the dragon knights did go to do bad things.
They quickly passed through the thick clouds and came to the sky above the destination.
However, they did not take the initiative to attack, but quickly dispersed.
Several hidden figures slowly fell from the sky, and with the help of the invisibility spell, they quietly hid in the big trees.
They behaved like experienced Catachan elite warriors, without making any sound or movement, and quickly and carefully arranged the hidden space.
After a while, a group of professionals emerged from the space and skillfully arranged a large teleportation array.
In just a few minutes, under the hidden spell effect, an elite dragon knight combat team appeared.
They all wore thick large mechanical armor and stayed in place motionlessly, waiting for orders.
Ji Fan did not take action immediately, but waited for other action teams to be in place.
At the same time, the large monitoring device had marked all the information of the large twisted creatures nearby.
The deputy captain was already quickly arranging combat tasks for each dragon warrior combat team.
After half an hour, the red signal light that all dragon warriors had been looking forward to for a long time finally lit up.
"Action!!"
Ji Fan gave the order to attack without hesitation, and the long-awaited dragon warriors immediately raised their feet.
They raised the large ghost blade made of Catachan demon claws high and chopped at all objects that blocked the way.
Some threatening twisted plants were chopped into two pieces alive before they could react.
The death of the twisted plants did not cause much noise.
This area is the habitat of large twisted creatures, and there are very few twisted animals living here.
Facing a huge "monster" like the dragon warrior, they all hid themselves very well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dragon warriors walked in a straight line, charging at full speed, with no intention of covering their tracks.
They just want to kill the large twisted creatures here as quickly as possible!
The mad bulls with strong perception ability soon noticed the arrival of the dragon warriors.
They panted, stared with red eyes, and attacked the dragon warriors without hesitation.
"The mad bulls have not been affected and controlled yet, fight according to the original plan."
Ji Fan said the judgment information of the advanced combat helmet, and rushed up first.
The surging lightning roared and hit the mad bull.
The mad bull, who had never seen a lightning attack, did not dodge or avoid it. He lowered his head and aimed his horns at Ji Fan who was running.
Crack!
The thunder with extremely strong penetrating power instantly fell into the body of the mad bull.
This hideous behemoth, even with an amazing physique, suddenly stiffened all over and fell to the ground.
The struggling body movement model was printed on the display screen of the advanced combat helmet.
Facing such a large and clumsy monster, the combat analysis of the combat helmet is extremely efficient.
It can easily judge their next move and flaws.
"It's a pity that its tips are a bit useless when facing flexible and powerful enemies."
"But it's good, so that the soldiers don't become dependent on it and lose the motivation to continue climbing up."
Such a thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Fan, whose reaction speed was far beyond that of ordinary people, leaped over with a big stride.
He also adjusted his swinging action, turned his wrist lightly, and slightly raised the tip of the sharp ghost blade.
The gray-black blade collided with the rolling mad bull.
The deadly single-molecule sharp blade smoothly inserted into the gap between the gray-black hard skin of the mad bull.
The mad bull's eyes widened immediately!
Ji Fan pressed down, and the ghost knife inserted into the mad bull's body easily cut open most of its internal organs in the chest.
The severely injured mad bull struggled to stand up frantically.
Ji Fan just turned the handle of the knife easily, crushed the broken internal organs of the mad bull, and cut it from the side.
Puff!
The mad bull staggered two steps and fell heavily to the ground.
This twisted monster with tenacious vitality was not dead yet, and it struggled to raise its head.
Whoosh!
A gust of black wind swept over, and Ji Fan chopped off its head neatly.
He did not even look at its mouth opening and closing, but just put its body that could not resist into the storage space.
Ji Fan's movements were very fast, and he killed a mad bull in more than 10 seconds.
The other dragon warriors were not slow either.
They had a very clear division of labor, and had experience in hunting large monsters such as the bottom demon fish.
The dragon warrior with the crossbow pulled the trigger, and the dragon hunting crossbow arrow could basically take away most of the mad bull's resistance.
The assaulter stepped forward, and often just needed to avoid the opponent's dying blow to easily chop off the opponent's head.
Even if the opponent escaped by chance, the second assaulter who rushed up would give a fatal finishing blow.
The battle would often end within 30 seconds, which also included the time to clean up the battlefield.
The first target was taken care of.
Ji Fan quickly conducted battle statistics, re-selected the target, and arranged the combat mission as quickly as possible.
In the following battles, there will be at least two or more dragon warrior combat teams to deal with a large twisted creature.
Among these twisted large creatures, there are occasionally special individuals with mutations, which have larger bodies and stronger combat power than their peers.
But it is impossible to stop the encirclement of more than two-digit dragon warriors.
The second batch of mad bulls died soon. After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Ji Fan clearly felt that the surrounding trees were looking at him strangely, and he immediately realized it.
This is the mastermind behind the manipulation of the Catachan jungle. They have noticed their actions. Ji Fan has no worries, but continues to shout loudly to the magic watch:
"Quickly evacuate and let's go."
While speaking, Ji Fan decisively tore open an invisible scroll and temporarily escaped the detection and sight of the surrounding environment at the fastest speed.
Ji Fan led the dragon warriors to retreat quickly and came to the teleportation array area for emergency evacuation.
The dragon warriors and spellcasters who stayed here rechecked the teleportation array and confirmed that it was intact, and then decisively completed the activation.
Huh!
The fluctuations caused by the teleportation array immediately attracted the attention of the evil shadow spirit.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
The teleportation array that had completed its mission of teleportation exploded while being surrounded by huge vines.
"Damn it, damn the Gulf Leader, damn magic!"
"What did they do? They actually made you so angry?"
"Don't you know? They attacked the nest of large twisted monsters!"
"What? This is impossible! Their large forces are more than 150 kilometers away from the nest of our troops!"
"You will know if you go and take a look first. Haven't you found it yet?"
"Damn it! All the mad bulls I have accumulated are gone. I was going to use them to attack the Catachan tribe!"
"Only some traces of blood and battle were found, and the rest disappeared."
"What kind of magic did they use? How did they attack across such a long distance?"
"They can suddenly appear from a distance of hundreds of kilometers. It is too threatening to us."
"Damn it, we can't let the Gulf Leader expand!"
"Today they attacked the large twisted monsters, so they dare to kill us tomorrow!"
"Stop arguing, gather everyone to discuss."
"What else is there to discuss?"
"Let's all concentrate our efforts and eat the troops from the Gulf Territory in one bite first!"
"You're right, they dared to come out to fight and didn't take us seriously at all!"
"Sieging a city may be more troublesome, but fighting in the field is much easier."
"Don't worry, there are still a few that haven't arrived yet."
"..."
The Gulf Territory raided more than a dozen lairs of large twisted creatures, immediately angering the unsuspecting evil shadow spirits.
Compared with summoning a large number of ordinary twisted creatures anytime and anywhere, it is much more difficult to produce and mobilize large twisted creatures.
Not only does it take a long time to produce and cultivate.
A considerable amount of energy must be allocated to take care of it.
In order to enhance their combat effectiveness, some targeted modifications must be made.
Transporting them safely to the combat location also requires a lot of energy.
The dangers of Catachan Jungle will not disappear just because these twisted creatures are controlled.
It is precisely because of various problems that the evil shadow spirits attach great importance to large twisted monsters.
Even if they are mobilized for combat, they will only be sent to the field at the most critical moment, treating them as the most valuable cannon fodder.
After all, they wanted to give the Catachan tribe a final blow and destroy it, with their extremely tenacious will to fight and outstanding combat effectiveness.
We really can't do without the help of these large twisted monsters!
Now, the lairs of a group of large twisted monsters closest to the battlefield were almost wiped out by the Gulf Territory.
For 3 to 4 days, they were unable to form a decent attack to suppress the walls of the Catachan tribe.
Just as the evil shadow spirits kept discussing how to concentrate their forces to devour the Gulf Territory's army in one go.
"The Gulf Territory destroys the large twisted monster lair!"
"The Gulf Territory captured a large area of Catachan Jungle!"
"The Gulf Territory is advancing deep into the Catachan jungle!"
"The Gulf Territory is preparing to build a new city!"
Various news, accompanied by vivid video materials, circulated among the outer Catachan tribe.
The Catachan people who were wondering why the evil shadow spirit slowed down their attacks watched these images carefully and understood the specific situation before suddenly realizing it.
The Gulf Territory is indeed continuing to "help" them!
The chiefs and chiefs of the major Catachan tribes all expressed their excitement at the Gulf Territory's help and its strong fighting power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gulf Territory staff from various tribes arrived and immediately promoted the Gulf Territory's military products and various inventions to them.
"With such a flamethrower, we can easily deal with large-scale twisted monsters."
"And its attack range is quite far and its lethality is very strong. It can directly use fire oil as fuel..."
"Just 20 of these flamethrowers can defend an entire city wall."
"Look at the situation on the magic image. This thing can't be deceptive, right?"
"Price? You can rest assured on this. Our Gulf Territory never harms our partners."
"You only need 20 grams of fine gold, or 10 high-quality magic plants, as well as magic materials and special plants worth 16,000 gold coins, to buy such a powerful city defense weapon."
"And in order to take care of our old friends, I will give you free fuel that can last for 20 hours of fighting..."
The fat, spitting man enthusiastically sold the flamethrower to Chief Robert.
The other side is demonstrating the strength of the flamethrower, and also showing its power to the Catachan warriors next to it.
The red firelight illuminated Chief Robert's face.
He stared intently at the scene where the flamethrower easily burned down a large number of small twisted monsters.
Especially when you see that the flamethrower also has a very good killing effect on the clumsy large twisted monsters.
Very decisively, he took out a large piece of sparkling gold and said as the big fat man watched with joy:
"We need at least 100 flamethrowers and enough fuel to power them for more than 48 hours."
He happily took the fine gold nugget, not wanting to trick Chief Robert's fatness at all.
He happily checked the content of fine gold. After calculating the price, he found that there were 30 grams more. He immediately continued to sell:
"In addition to these flamethrowers, we can also offer you a solution!"
"A solution that can once and for all solve the problem of the growth and spread of the Catachan jungle within a 20-kilometer radius!"
When Chief Robert heard this, his eyes widened subconsciously.
He looked at the fat man who was smiling and asked in disbelief:
"Are you sure? Bay Territory really has such a method?"
Big Fatty nodded very simply, secretly took out another photo crystal, and carefully handed it to Chief Robert.
The latter looked at it carefully for a while, turned to look at the confident big fat man, and nodded without hesitation:
"This plan and plan are indeed what we need, so how can we implement this plan?"
Rubbing his hands together very excitedly, the big fat man took the photo crystal, played the detailed link later, and said softly impatiently:
"This problem is relatively easy to solve. The Gulf Council will create a fire element energy pool for your tribe and arrange a large-scale scorched earth array..."
Scorched Earth Array?
Chief Robert understood it carefully, and his eyes gradually brightened.
Knowing that the deal was close to success, the Fatty patiently explained to Chief Robert:
"It is not difficult to build the magic circle. Except for the water intake part in the central area, it can be effective within a radius of 20 kilometers."
"However, this also has two disadvantages..."
"One is expensive. It takes 20 million gold coins to install a scorched earth magic circle!"
Hearing the disadvantages, Chief Robert calmed down and listened carefully to the Fatty's words.
"The other is dangerous. We have conducted experiments and the scorched earth magic circle is definitely effective, but it will attract attacks from the surrounding Catachan activated jungle and monsters..."
That's it?
Chief Robert, with eyes wide open, suppressed his joy and excitement, laughed and said:
"Even if there is no scorched earth array, we will still be attacked, so what do we have to worry about?"
Who knows that the fat man smiled mysteriously, and whispered in Chief Robert's ear with a sly look:
"We know this, but this thing is not easy to sell, but our task is heavy."
"We can't bear to see the Iron Bone Tribe being targeted alone, so we will give you a special discount."
Discount?
Chief Robert blinked with some vigilance.
"As long as you promote the scorched earth array to other Catachan tribes and successfully sell one."
"You can get a share of 1 million gold coins, or various materials of equal value."
"If you sell 10, the Iron Bone Tribe's scorched earth array will be free!"
Chief Robert opened his mouth slightly when he heard this.
Scorched earth tactics are so good, how can only the Bay Territory enjoy it?
