Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great War Is About to Begin
It was only now that Xue Hua had completely seen the essence of the "gold-swallowing beast" of the insect swarm.
The Swarm is undoubtedly a very powerful war race, and its evolutionary potential is almost endless.
However, the premise of all this is that there must be enough resources to pile up, resources are needed to develop the size of the swarm, resources are needed to improve the quality of the swarm, resources are required to awaken hero units, and a huge amount of resources are required to make the Leviathan exert its power.
And what Xue Hua lacks most now is resources......
Relying on killing infernal creatures to obtain resources is still the majority of Xue Hua's resource income now, but in the long run, this is a drop in the bucket compared to the evolution rate of the swarm.
Therefore, finding a rich ore vein as soon as possible and putting down the actual base to obtain a steady stream of resources has become the top priority facing the current swarm.
However, since the discovery of that small vein in the Evil Cavern, the worker bees have not yet found a second mining area, which has undoubtedly had a great impact on the development of the swarm.
Xue Hua has been asking Isha to send worker bees to conduct small-scale prospecting activities, but so far this initiative has not paid off.
In this regard, he has no choice but to comfort himself that there will always be something that should be there.
"Hey... Forget it, take your time......"
Xue Hua shook his head and left the place of bones with the swarm, where there was nothing underground except for corpses turned into bones and barren soil and stones, and even the monsters were turned to ashes by a wave of explosions when the blood clone died, and it had lost all value to him.
......
Walking out of the stone path embedded in the mountain wall, Xue Hua returned to the icy plain with the swarm of insects, preparing to hunt while returning to the Rog camp.
But he soon found that the cold plains, which were originally full of monster communities, seemed to suddenly be quiet, and the vanguard of the swarm, the worm mother Tunam, sent the king worm to reconnoiter around, but did not find any large groups of monsters, only a few scattered sunken demons and lone huge beasts roaming the wilderness of the cold plains.
Not even a single Fallen Mage was seen.
This is undoubtedly abnormal.
"What's going on? What happened? Xue Hua frowned and kept switching the vision of several king insects, but all he saw was a quiet and eerie wasteland.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he immediately ordered Wang Worm: "Expand the scope of investigation, focus on the area around the border outpost of the Icy Plains, and report to me immediately if there is any situation!" ”
Xue Hua's expression was nervous, and he remembered the frantically assembled Hell Projection Army that he had detected before entering the Burial Bone Land.
The scope of the investigation of the king insects continued to expand, and the results of the investigation were quickly fed back.
Xue Hua's guess was right.
With the help of the high-altitude perspective of the king insects, he saw the border post of the Icy Plains at this moment.
It's being besieged by an army of projections of hell as far as the eye can see.
The army of Hell is home to almost every type and number of monsters in the entire Icy Plains, including Dark Lancers, Giant Beasts, Fallen Demons, Fallen Mages, and even a whole group of black wanderers armed with longbows!
At the rear of the Hell Army, a Surveillance King Worm captured a scene that sent chills all over Xue Hua's body - thousands of elite monsters with blue light on their bodies, hundreds of champion monsters with golden halos on their bodies, and tens of thousands of various minions.
Behind this group of terrifying monsters, there were two figures with a rich dark golden light standing quietly, one was a dark wanderer in black and white leather armor, wearing a horned helmet, and a longbow in his hand that exuded a little cold star, while the other was a drowning mage with dark golden skin and holding a huge bone staff studded with human skulls.
With just one glance, Xue Hua understood where these two leader-level monsters were.
Icy Raven and Bisu Bosu!
Moreover, these two guys are obviously not dark gold bosses in a normal state!
Because they are deploying troops, and they are even taking advantage of the different characteristics of the Hell Army to arrange their troops!
They placed the most powerful and powerful beasts in the front row of the Hell's army, while the Fallen Demons followed behind the Giant Beasts, the Dark Lancers were placed on the flanks, and the smaller number of Fallen Wizards were guarded in the middle by a large group of elite Dark Lancers and Elite Giant Beasts.
The smallest number of Black Wanderers are grouped into separate teams and roam the battlefield led by three champion monsters, Black Wanderers.
At the same time, all the remaining elite monsters and champion monsters were also independently organized according to their racial characteristics and abilities, forming several combat teams and scattered to the rear of the army of sunken demons, as if they were preparing to implement the "vanguard squad" combat mode.
Seeing this scene, Xue Hua's hands and feet suddenly became cold, because the wisdom of these two guys reminded him of an enemy he had just faced, the Blood Crow Clone!
As we all know, projections have no intelligence, they are just fragments of the power and will that emanate from the demon deity, leaking through the gap between hell and the sanctuary world.
The demon deities don't care about the life or death of the projections, and they certainly don't give them wisdom.
Only the doppelgangers are qualified to let the demon deities plant a seed of wisdom consciousness, teach them how to think, how to fight more efficiently.
In the entire vicinity of the Rogue camp in the first world, except for Andariel's projection that has a certain degree of self-awareness because the deity is strong enough, only the projection of Bisu Hirosu has an extremely weak tactical awareness, and the projection of other bosses only has instinct at most.
But the projection of Bisu Hirosu is just a way to gather ethnic groups.
Such a tactically literate deployment of troops is by no means something that can be done by a projection.
So, those two guys are doppelgangers?
The corners of Xue Hua's eyes twitched, and he had the urge to turn around and bury his bones again.
At the beginning, a weak blood black clone hit him in a dilemma, and almost suffered a heavy loss, but now it is two clones, and there are so many blue-named monsters, gold-famous monsters and ordinary monsters around.
That's an estimated number of 100,000, right?
I'm afraid it's more than that......
At this time, Xue Hua didn't know that the blood crow killed by him was just a doppelganger fragment, the real demon clones were all above 60, and the bosses' clones were at least level 70.
If he knew, he would probably go straight back to the place where the bones were buried right now.
But fortunately, the Icy Plains is big enough, and he is still far from the frontline battlefield, so he doesn't have to run in such a hurry, let's take a look first.
Moreover, the demon projection is so overwhelming, I believe that the Rog camp will not be without reaction.
Sure enough, Xue Hua saw the scene inside the outpost in the field of vision of another monitoring king worm.
The already tall log fence had been raised again, and behind the wall there was an additional ring of platforms, which were now filled with Rog archers.
In addition to the Rog Guards, there are also many mages, necromancers, Amazons and other professions that are proficient in long-range attacks and stand side by side with the Rog Marksmen.
There are also paladins and barbarians who, while not very good at ranged attacks, provide aura amplification, while warcry enhancements and protect themselves with "Howl" and "Taunt" control at critical moments.
Beneath the outside of the log fence, the Surveillance Kingworm's anti-stealth vision detected a dense layer of traps, the work of high-level Assassins.
A group of druids and necromancers gathered at the city gate with their summons, apparently prepared to let the summons relieve stress in case of a crisis.
Not far behind the city walls, a red-haired woman in a red leather coat and a silver-white chain mail jacket stood with her arms crossed, and beside her, there was a giantess more than two meters tall and carrying two war hammers.
Of course Xue Hua, the woman in red, knows, Kasha.
But the tall woman Xue Hua had never seen it, but there was always a familiar feeling.
Just as Xue Hua was frowning and thinking about who this was, the two women suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction where the Inspector Wang Worm was.
"Not good!" Xue Hua was shocked, and hurriedly asked the Inspector King Worm to look away, but unfortunately it was too late, a sharp arrow emitting red fire and a whistling throwing axe had already flown in front of the Inspector King Worm!
"it!!"
Fortunately, the position of the monitoring king insect was still too high after all, and the two attacks lost their accuracy at this height, and flew over with the body of the monitoring king worm.
However, Rao was like this, and Xue Hua was still scared into a cold sweat.
Is Nima still human?
Monitor the king worm but in the stratosphere! O stratosphere!
Why did you shoot an arrow into the stratosphere?
Why did you throw an axe into the stratosphere?
You guys are such dicks, why don't you just order, one person and one slap, and shoot those two doppelgangers to death?
Xue Hua complained frantically in his heart, and hurriedly kept the Inspector King Worm away from these two monsters.
