Chapter 122 Surrounding Situation
Chapter 122 Surrounding Situation
After receiving the map handed over by Malika, Thanos began to examine it carefully.
Of course, in a week's time, no detailed map could be drawn, only the circle around Menghua Town and Zixi Town.
To the northwest of Zixi Town is the Scarlet Lake, to the south is the Zixi Mine, and the only way out to the east is Menghua Town.
So as long as Menghua Town is guarded and the problem of the Frogmen is solved, then Zixi Town is the best rear.
The situation in Menghua Town is a bit more complicated.
In addition to Zixi Town in the west, Keming City is in the north, but according to the investigation of the spies, it has been captured by the aborigines, and the towns of El and Murray in the east are also captured by the aborigines.
Only a few small towns in the south are still in the hands of wizards.
They are Mirowan Town, Xiling Town and Kaiyue Town respectively.
As for places farther away, he didn't know.
After all, scouts are just ordinary people and don't have such great abilities.
After thinking for a while, he said to Malika: "Send someone to contact the wizards in Miro Bay Town, Xiling Town and Kaiyue Town. If possible, it's best to form an offensive and defensive alliance."
Now the living environment of their Black Leaf Tower wizards can be said to be the most difficult time.
Therefore, forming an alliance and holding a group has become a necessary condition for survival.
"and also…"
After a pause, Thanos continued: "Send someone to the Emerald Mine to find Kaitarn. He needs to come forward for some things."
If there is a second-level wizard sitting next to him when forming an alliance, he will undoubtedly be able to take the initiative.
Soon, Marika left with the latest orders.
And at this time, Ai Ruo bounced around and walked over with a happy face.
"My lord, I have the latest research."
Looking at the little girl who only reached his chest, Thanos immediately let go of all his troubles and smiled.
"Oh, let's go see it now."
After finishing speaking, he even touched Duofu's little head.
Although the skeleton heavy armor last time cost a lot of money, it also made him understand that if there is such a troop in actual combat, the effect is absolutely irreplaceable by the skeleton soldiers.
So he let Ai Ruo play freely and create the undead he wanted.
Unexpectedly, there will be a new invention so soon.
A few minutes later, the two came to the barracks.
From a long distance, Thanos heard the soldiers not far away, exclaiming in surprise.
"Wow, this skeleton is too handsome."
"This claw, if you grab it, no one will be able to bear it."
"And this big retreat, it's so long."
"What's the name of this skeleton? It's too powerful."
When Ai Ruo heard these voices, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but began to rise slightly, and her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.
Obviously, at the age of 13, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart after hearing the praise from others.
After a while, when the soldiers saw Thanos, they retreated consciously.
"Master Thanos, hello."
"Master Wizard, good morning."
"Dear Lord Mayor."
Because Thanos has too many titles, soldiers do not have a unified title.
Hearing this, Thanos thought of a certain mustache in his previous world.
It seems that we must call them uniformly in the future, which can further increase morale and cohesion.
Soon, he followed Ai Ruo to the center of the camp and saw the other's new research.
This is a skeleton with a full body, about 1.5 meters high, and if it stands upright, it is about 1.9 meters high.
Both hands have huge palms, and there is a pair of iron claws on the palms, about thirty centimeters long.
At the same time, the whole body is covered with a set of spiked armor, which looks like a creeper in Resident Evil, but it is a skeleton version.
Seeing this, he looked at Ai Ruo curiously.
"How did you come up with this structure?"
If he didn't feel that the other party's soul hadn't changed, he would have even wondered if the other party had been taken away by the Blue Stars.
Ai Ruo came to the crawler skeleton with a smile on his face, and said, "My lord, I designed this skeleton according to the shapes of those frogmen and trolls.
Although the strength of the trolls and frogmen I have seen is different, they are both quick and agile, so I specially studied their action methods.
Finally, I found that this semi-crawling shape is the most suitable for running, so I made this type of skeleton. "
Thanos nodded knowingly.
Also, the reason why reptiles run faster than humans is because they use their limbs to run, and at the same time reduce the contact area with wind and so on.
This involves biology and evolution and so on.
After looking at the crawling skeleton for a while, he asked about the manufacturing price.
When he learned that making such a crawling skeleton would cost about ten skeletons, he gave up his plan for mass production.
After all, there will be creepers in the undead of the zombie series in the future, so there is no need to waste too much money here.
But the creeper hasn't been manufactured yet, so it's good to study a few.
After some encouragement, he returned to his laboratory.
The recent research on the undead network has encountered a problem in connecting ordinary skeletons with the general skeleton's spiritual power.
If you want the Skeleton General to gain spiritual power, you must use a material called moon stone, and a moon stone costs about gold coins.
What's more, now that Mek City is destroyed, even if he has gold coins, he can't buy moonstones.
Because there is currently no mining area for moonstone found in the Proworld, only in the wizarding world.
So his current research is to find materials to replace moonstones.
After all, he has all the other materials, but he lacks the moonstone.
……
Time is in the study, and it will pass quickly.
Three days later, Thanos had to suspend the research on replacing the moonstone.
It wasn't the representatives of Miluowan Town, Xiling Town and Kaiyue Town who arrived, but the frogmen on the other side of the Scarlet Lake, who made another big move.
According to the news from Chitty, more than 1 frogmen have gathered this time, and they don't know where they found a giant beast in the water, and they may attack the mining area at any time.
After hearing the news, he hesitated for a while, but chose to take soldiers and skeleton shooters and started to go to the Scarlet Lake.
For three days, Kaitarn had no reply. He wanted to see what was going on.
Could it be that the other party thought that life could still be the same as before.
No one can stay out of the destruction of Meck City, not even wizards.
So in the afternoon of that day, Thanos set off with a force of 1000 troops.
Because of the working skeletons, the labor force of Kane Blacksmith Po has been greatly liberated, so the five hundred human soldiers are all wearing iron armor and holding iron spears.
And there is also Thanos' militarized training, which looks decent.
At the forefront of the team were the three mercenaries he had rescued, Graham, Khaled and Alexia.
