Chapter 427 Practical Exercise (1)
Ten days later, as Lido and the legion's top brass were anxiously waiting, support from the legion and the Elf Temple in Tianjing's main city finally arrived.
The summoners from the Tianjing Main City Legion and the Tianlong Knights each account for half, totaling 1800 summoners, all of whom have elves that meet the requirements in the materials previously reported by the Qingyan City Legion.
Among them, there are 800 high-level summoners, and the other 1000 are all good intermediate summoners, all of whom have two full-level green elves.
It seems that although the higher-ups had some doubts about the intelligence at first, they still took it very seriously after the two team leaders went back and reported the situation. At least the proportion of high-level summoners was much higher than Lido and the legion's top brass had imagined.
Along with these 1800 summoners came a logistics team of several hundred people.
Logically speaking, these summoners came to support, and the Qingyan City Legion should be responsible for their material supply, but it is obvious that the Qingyan City Legion's material supply is tight itself, and it is really unable to bear the living and training needs of so many summoners, even if it is only for a short time, so they brought their own supplies to support.
This is also the norm on the magical continent. Of course, the distribution of military merits and spoils after the war will naturally be tilted towards the summoners who came to support.
What was both surprising and expected was that the support team also brought with them a research team of about fifty people from the Magic Research Institute, who were carefully escorted by the support team to the garrison fortress.
It seems that the news reported by the Legion about the mutated three-eyed demon soul spider has attracted their attention, but this is not surprising at all, because the research value is too great!
Perhaps the reason why the support force arrived so late was because they were waiting for this research team. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the materials that the special operations team had brought back.
Especially the intact frozen bodies of the three-eyed demon soul spiders made their eyes light up.
Every three days, Lido had to ask Fumei to replenish the corpses of these three-eyed demon soul spiders with a new round of ice armor so that they could still remain lifelike after so many days.
Only Fumei's proficiency in the Ice Armor beyond the mastery level could do this. In short, in Lido's perception, the vitality of the corpse was preserved quite well, only slightly lower than when the Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spider had just died.
The arrival of the large force caused an uproar in the legion.
Previously, when Lido led the Crime Army to build a simulated terrain, it triggered a round of speculation. Although the Legion did not announce the news of the three-eyed demon soul spider group, most of the Legion members are battle-hardened summoners. How could the Legion have no reaction to such a big move?
Therefore, all kinds of speculations were rampant, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while, but after more than ten days, the army did not take any action, and the atmosphere gradually eased. (Because the two teams from the main city of Tianjing came secretly, and when they left, they also avoided people.)
However, the simulated terrain standing outside the garrison fortress has always been like a huge mystery with a strong presence, which still makes the atmosphere of the entire garrison fortress rather tense.
Now that the large force has arrived, such a big commotion naturally makes everyone understand that the legion is going to make a big move, and public opinion is in an uproar again.
At this point, everything could no longer be concealed, and of course there was no need to hide it anymore. The Legion announced the news of the three-eyed demon soul spider group and the decision to destroy the demon soul spider's nest.
For a moment, the entire legion was in a panic, but when they saw such powerful support, they calmed down a little and finally avoided panic.
Then the Legion arranged the large force that came to support and began to mobilize personnel. The research team also began to race against time to study the corpse and materials of the Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spider.
After the mobilization of the legion's personnel was completed and they joined the large force that came to support them, Lido and the legion's top brass began to summon the captains of each team to discuss actual combat exercises, and the people from the research group were among them.
In fact, everyone was very curious about the huge simulated terrain project outside. When Lido called everyone here this time, she brought a sand table with a simulated terrain that was reduced many times, which she would use to demonstrate to everyone later.
After the Legion's top brass expressed their warm welcome and gratitude to the summoners who came to support them, and briefly explained the intelligence that the Legion's top brass currently possessed about the Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spiders, Lido was called to the stage to explain to everyone the plan to encircle and suppress the Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spider group.
Except for those who knew Liduo, everyone else was amazed at Liduo on the stage, and they were talking among themselves. Everyone was sighing that the top leaders of Qingyan City Legion were really bold.
After all, it is obvious that Lido is still young, yet she is leading such a life-and-death plan!
Liduo ignored the noise in the audience. She just cleared her throat, looked at the people in the audience seriously, and then suddenly released her aura!
That is to say, the mental power was released, but Lido only released the mental power at the level of magic element energy, which enveloped the entire venue and made everyone feel a slight sense of oppression. No higher level of mental power was released. After all, too much is as bad as too little!
The venue suddenly became quiet. Everyone felt Liduo's dominance, but no one was dissatisfied with it.
Liduo nodded with satisfaction and began to explain, pointing at the sand table.
She described the habits, attack methods and nest layout of the three-eyed demon soul spider in detail. Every time she mentioned a dangerous place, she would emphasize her tone to remind everyone.
When talking about the Spider Queen, the Commander, and the Signalman, one of the researchers stood up and asked, "Ms. Lido, are you sure that the Spider Swarm has such a command structure? What is the basis for this?"
Li Duo nodded slightly and said seriously: "Although I can't be 100% sure, but based on what I have observed, the reliability is still very high.
Although the existence of the 'Spider Queen' is only speculation, there is no doubt that there must be such a being in the spider group, otherwise the spider group would not have such discipline and would not have such differences.
The existence of the 'Commander' and the 'Communicator' is confirmed. There is a 'Commander' and a 'Communicator' inside the corpse of the Demon Soul Spider that you are studying.
The discipline of the three-eyed demon soul spiders under the command of the 'Commander' is far different from that of the patrol teams coming out of the demon soul spider nest. Therefore, it is certain that there are commanders of higher levels above the 'Commander'.
Maybe there is a level of command between the 'Commander' and the 'Spider Queen', but in fact, it is not that important for our encirclement and suppression.
Of course, from a research perspective, it is important to clarify this.
But what we should pay most attention to right now is how to destroy the Demon Soul Spider nest, because this is a matter of life and death! Only by solving the problem of survival first can we further study the command structure of the three-eyed demon soul spider group!
I mean, do you understand?"
