Chapter 41: The Battle for Details
In the jungle, Xue Hua sat cross-legged on the back of a cockroach and headed in the opposite direction to Jikur.
Since he broke out of the encirclement of the monsters with Farah and the others three days ago, Xue Hua once again broke away from the main army and began to continue his solo operation.
No way, there were almost as many demon armies that night as there were from the direction of Kurast Harbor.
This shows that the Demon Legion does have another headquarters in this rainforest in addition to the seaport of Kurast.
In order to prevent the swarm from being stabbed in the back by Cui Vank's demon army when they attacked Kurast, Xue Hua must now at least find out how many chips the demon army had placed in Cui Vank.
With this information, he can make targeted arrangements for this, so that he will not fall into disadvantage due to insufficient preparation in the upcoming big war.
Now that the battle between humans and hell in the First World has entered the stage of corner fighting, although the council guard legion has just revealed their landing information and whereabouts, the demon legion has also exposed most of the arrangements in Cui Vank in order to seize the ancient books of the blue cloth.
Moreover, in the end, Lan Yisen's ancient book still fell into the hands of humans, so no matter how you look at it, this first game is a small profit for the human side.
Coupled with the four altars that Xue Hua had destroyed in the jungle before, it can be said that in this detailed capture of the flag battle, the human race has already grabbed the first match point.
A war of a real scale is like a competition, and a lot of preparation work needs to be done in the early stage before it can really be rolled out.
Intelligence, support, logistics.
The time, the place, the people, etc., etc., are very important.
The war between the human side and the demon legion in the rainforest has now entered this phase of preparation.
At this stage, the real main forces and main plans will not move, but the small forces on the periphery will enter an unusually active state.
All kinds of espionage and counter-espionage, reconnaissance and counter-detection, sabotage operations, communication breaking operations, etc., etc., will break out in large numbers during this stage.
The victory of every small action is a small node that is taken by one's own side.
When these small nodes gather together like a tower, they become a "match point".
When the war officially begins, whichever side has more "match points" in its hands will gain the initiative in the war.
The two wars with the monster army that Xue Hua had experienced before could be regarded as a small fight compared to this time.
At the time of the Rogge camp, no matter how powerful Andariel was, he was only one of the four little demon kings, even if it descended to the first world with some of the deities, the strength of the monster army under his command was still very worrying.
And that battle was completely a backwater battle for the human race, if it weren't for Xue Hua's insect swarm suddenly appearing on the battlefield and pushing the human race hard, the human side would have had no chance to stop Andariel from getting the key to the mountains.
The reason for this is that the decisive battle was carried out too hastily, and there was no time to compete for the "match point", and in the end it ended up being forced to solve the problem.
The battle at the port of Rugoin had no "match point" at all, and the human side never received any information about the fall of Kurast from the beginning to the end.
By the time the final battle was about to begin, the "match point" had been completely mastered by the other side, and at this time, it was completely meaningless to learn about the fall of the Kurast seaport.
Fortunately, the preparation of the demon legion's side was not sufficient, especially the powerful combat power of the insect swarm under Xue Hua, who was once again greatly underestimated, so in the end, although he only had half a breath left to bite the Lu Gaoyin Kingdom, he was still repelled after all.
But this time, in this war in the rainforest, Xue Hua didn't dare to underestimate the luck of the insect swarm on any other side.
Because the demons who are now occupying the harbor of Kurast and Trivank, the boss behind them, Mephisto, has seen the power of the swarm in the battle of the harbor of Rugoin.
Therefore, it will definitely arm the insect swarm in a targeted manner.
And what Xue Hua has to do now is to find out what the other party has done for the insect swarm.
Or at least know the basic method of targeting the swarm.
He'd just helped the Human Legion master at least one match point, and now he had to stop the demon side from getting their first match point from the swarm.
The cockroach was shuttling between the leaves and forests quickly, and Xue Hua was playing with a ring in his hand and sitting firmly on the cockroach's back armor.
He was covered with a shield with a splinter blue light, which easily blocked the wind and branches drawn from all directions.
"Hey... No wonder Fa Ye Fa Ye, this Nima shield skill is really useful, not only can resist damage, but also can prevent wind... Why doesn't the necromancer's bone shield have this function?
It doesn't matter if it's not good-looking, sometimes it even blocks the view......"
Xue Hua muttered with envy and jealousy.
The ring on his hand was picked up by the biters when he had just cleared the battlefield.
This is a blue level ring, which is not very high-grade, but the attributes are very interesting.
The ring carries a Qi Gathering skill, which is the Ice Armor (Level 6) of the Ice Method, which can be used up to 4 times for an hour each time.
The Qi Gathering Equipment in this world was obviously much lower than the explosion rate in the games that Xue Hua had played before.
For such a long time, Xue Hua had only met so twice.
Once, the team of killers I met on the way back from the burial of bones, and the guy who was the leader set up on the ground and pretended to be dead had a superb qi gathering ring with the "teleportation" skill on his hand.
I don't know what kind of shit luck this guy has taken in his life, and there are such good things in his hands for those who are less than level twenty.
It's a pity that this world can't pick up equipment from dead people, otherwise that ring would have been very useful to Xue Hua at that time.
The second time was a fight with an idiot II Ancestor in Rog's camp, and the necromancer's special equipment "Embalming Skull" that he won from him had a "Clay Stone Demon" skill that could only be used once.
However, this skill was finally wasted by the idiot who was suspected of drinking fake wine before this equipment fell into Xue Hua's hands, so Xue Hua has not been able to use the Qi Gathering Equipment by himself until now.
Especially the skill of summoning the clay stone demon, due to the mutation of Abbather's summoning skill on him, Xue Hua has never summoned the clay stone demon himself.
And as the power of the swarm grows stronger, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to be able to take action in person now.
In other words, even if he can get the Qi Gathering Equipment now, it will at most be used to satisfy the little regret he once had, and it has no practical meaning at all.
So when he found out that the shield inspired by the ring on his hand not only increased his damage resistance, but also helped him stabilize the back of a high-speed cockroach, he was already very satisfied.
"Hey... Anyway, we're also a dignified necromancer, so we can't just dry it in the back... The bones are almost rusty, not to mention, it seems that I am too useless......"
After playing for a while, Xue Hua re-equipped the ring, and then began to wave the short staff in his hand around.
In other words, the weapon in his hand is still the "Torch of Yiluo" that has been strengthened by Hradik Males, although the attributes of this thing are not bad after being strengthened.
But it's really time to change it after using it until now......
Xue Hua was a little bored and stared through the gap between the shades of the trees in the mid-air not far away, where the shadow of a huge fortress building was getting closer and closer to him.
