Chapter 178: Clearing Outposts and Recruiting Militiamen

The next morning.

On the bluestone square of the territory, the crowd was silent.

Under Mo Yu's command, all combat troops except the guard troops were assembled here.

Today, he planned to act in three groups to clean up the strongholds near the territory.

As the scope of reconnaissance expanded, the shadow scouts who worked overtime last night reported back that the number of strongholds within 50 kilometers of the territory was extremely terrifying.

Not counting the two-star bearman strongholds and four-star wolfman strongholds that have not yet been eliminated, twenty-one new strongholds were discovered.

Among them, there are eleven one-star strongholds, six two-star strongholds, three three-star strongholds, and one four-star stronghold.

Therefore, Mo Yu planned to divide his troops into three groups to clean up these strongholds.

By the way, you can also collect enough battle points as soon as possible and exchange them for intermediate lord rank badges.

The territory's combat forces are divided into three areas.

On the left was Salt and his air force - more than a dozen dragon eagles and hundreds of flamebirds.

These irritable little birds were now as obedient as quails, squatting behind Salt and accepting Mo Yu's inspection.

Their team is fast and strong.

The task Mo Yu assigned to them was to wipe out the strongholds in the south. The strongest one there was a three-star stronghold, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Zhong Han, who was promoted to a second-level adventurer, was arranged to follow Salt as his deputy.

On the one hand, they accumulate combat experience, and on the other hand, they serve as transporters and liaison officers.

The lord was downgraded to an adventurer. Although he lost his territory, his backpack, chat channel and other functions were still there.

Therefore, Zhong Han followed Salt, so that if there was any emergency, he could contact Mo Yu as soon as possible.

On the right are Bruman and his minotaurs and Lady Ster.

Bertha followed their team and had a similar effect to Zhong Han.

At the same time, Mo Yu also assigned the frost giant Fuli, the territory's current important high-end combat force, to them.

The direction that Brulman is responsible for is the grassland.

The main goal is to clear out the one-star and two-star strongholds. For the three-star strongholds, do what you can and attack as long as you can control the damage.

Whether or not he can fight depends on Bluman himself.

Compared to Salt, Bruman's war experience is extremely weak, and Mo Yu intends to train him.

After all, in order for the territory to develop in the future, it will always need a few generals who can stand on their own.

These small outposts of small scale are very suitable training targets.

It can be used to train soldiers and generals.

As for Teemo in the middle, and his shadow scouts and goblin scouts, they followed Mo Yu to the wasteland in the west.

The four-star wolf stronghold detected yesterday was located at the edge of the wasteland, at the junction of the mountain range.

Mo Yu’s main target today is it.

There is also a four-star stronghold on the other side of the forest, so there is no need to rush.

Wait for two more days, and when you go to the forest to farm life magic crystals, take some time to clean them up.

"Pay more attention to this area of ​​the territory. If anything happens, find Cui Zhengli immediately and ask him to contact me." Mo Yu said a few words to Da Zhuang beside him.

The biggest benefit of the joining of three adventurers is that communication becomes much more convenient.

Now when he goes out, whether it is the territory or the situation of the other two teams, Mo Yu can quickly learn about the situation through adventurers.

"Master, don't worry. We are in the territory." Da Zhuang pounded his chest and said confidently.

Although three teams were dispatched, the troops left behind in the territory were not weak.

The little stone monster, the rune golem, and Mu Qiao and their army of plant puppets.

All in all, there are probably about seven or eight hundred soldiers.

Coupled with the hundreds of defense towers left in the territory, the defense is not empty at all.

"My lord, the Battle Axe Legion has been assembled." Bruman reported loudly.

"Sir, the scout team has assembled." Following closely behind was Timo.

Seeing this, Salter had no choice but to shout, "My Lord, the air force has been assembled."

Looking at the huge army in front of him, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel proud.

He waved his hand.

"set off!"

The three teams headed in their respective directions.

The leaders all have simple maps in their hands, and the goals are extremely clear.

Dry food, water and other items were all packed in the space backpack, so the team traveled light and moved very quickly.

Retracting his gaze from the air force that was now only a small black dot in the sky, Mo Yu squeezed his horse's belly and urged it forward.

At the front, there were goblin blowgun soldiers holding blowguns and carrying telescopes, scouting around for the situation.

These telescopes were all made by Timo.

Last time, he brought back a lot of glass from the ruins of the Rune Empire. After tinkering with it for a while, he made more than a dozen telescopes and distributed them to his blowgun soldiers.

Although the goblins are timid, they have gone out to fight several times under the leadership of Teemo.

Strictly speaking, I feel more excitement than fear at this moment.

As for the shadow scout, he worked hard all night yesterday and was kept in Mo Yu's War Gate to rest.

They will only be called out if an emergency occurs.

Next to Mo Yu, Timo was sitting on Lai Fu's back, looking around with a serious and alert expression.

"Brother Laifu, please slow down. It's hard for me to observe the situation around me." Timo muttered softly.

Timo and Lai Fu lived in the same yard and became familiar with each other after a while.

Lai Fu saw that Timo was very understanding and accepted him as his brother, so he took good care of this younger brother.

After hearing Timo's words, he immediately slowed down his pace and stopped jumping around.

Such a strange team ran along the wasteland towards the distant mountains.

Not long after, Mo Yu encountered his first target.

A one-star stronghold with more than thirty big-eared monsters, which are green-skinned creatures that are somewhat similar to goblins.

But their animal features are more obvious, and they have two big ears like cattail leaves, which goblins do not have.

The big-eared monster is not very powerful and is a one-star creature.

Mo Yu had no intention of taking action himself. He rode on his warhorse, waiting for the performance of Teemo and his goblin dartsmen.

Sensing the approach of the team, the big-eared monsters stood up, holding sticks and hammers, and looked over with cruel eyes.

Seeing the goblin dart soldiers approaching, they rushed forward with weapons in hand without saying a word.

"Ready, fire in echelons!"

Timo rode on Lai Fu without any panic.

The goblin dart soldiers who received Teemo's order stood in two rows, with 10 people in each row.

chug!

The goblin dart soldiers in the first row puffed up their cheeks and shot out tiny darts.

The range is unexpectedly good, reaching nearly fifty meters.

With the help of the precision feature, the blowgun accurately hit the big-eared monster in the front row.

Plop...Plop...

Several big-eared monsters covered their necks and fell down howling.

The darts used by these goblin blowgun soldiers are all poisoned arrows and are extremely effective.

After the first row of goblin darts were done, they ignored the big-eared monsters charging in front of them and quickly squatted down to reload their darts. Behind them, the second row of goblin darts quickly fired their darts.

Then the first row stood up... the two rows of goblin dart soldiers took turns, and in just over ten breaths, half of the big-eared monsters that rushed up fell down.

And they only rushed to a distance of ten meters.

Faced with the approaching big-eared monster, these goblin dart soldiers were obviously a little panicked, but they did not disperse and still insisted on using darts to snipe the big-eared monster.

They are waiting for Teemo's orders.

Mo Yu nodded. It was good. It was quite good to be able to train the goblins to this level in more than ten days.

"The front team retreats to the left, the rear team retreats to the right, cross-fire!" Timo commanded calmly.

The weapons of the big-eared monsters are heavy, which greatly slows down their speed, making it impossible for them to catch up with the goblin dart soldiers who only carry blowguns and telescopes.

After seeing the goblins disperse, their team split into two and rushed to both sides.

"kill!"

The fallen teammates beside them made the big-eared monsters panic, but the goblins close at hand made them determined to continue charging.

At this time, the Goblin Dart Soldiers, who had been behaving very stably, finally started to cause trouble.

During the retreat, several goblins did not look back and just ran away.

Others paused on the spot, but when they saw the big-eared monster chasing them, they gave up blowing their arrows and turned around and ran away.

Having lost the cover of their teammates, the few who had dared to insist on reverse sniping had to retreat.

All of a sudden, everything was going crazy.

Originally they were just fighting while retreating, but as they went along they ended up disintegrating.

More than a dozen big-eared monsters were chasing twenty goblins around.

"Alas, his true colors are revealed once he enters the battlefield!" Teemo frowned, very dissatisfied.

Everything was fine during training and the first phase was going well, so how come everything suddenly became a mess?

He was confused and a little angry at the same time.

When the enemy advances, I retreat… When the enemy retreats, I pursue… Such good tactical instructions, how could they be interpreted like this?

You can escape, but not like this. You have to fight while running away, or fight while running away. Is that difficult?
The more Teemo thought about it, the angrier he got. He wished he could capture these goblins and give them a good beating.

"This situation is normal. All new recruits are like this. Without experiencing the baptism of war, it is easy for them to disintegrate." Mo Yu comforted.

It's already pretty good to be able to train the goblins to this level.

One bite cannot make you fat.

Teemo shook his head. "These bastards are still inexperienced. Next time, throw them all into the fighting arena and let them fight the Minotaur one-on-one."

Mo Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. It seemed that hard days were coming for these goblins.

"If you come close to me and keep running around, you will die!" Timo shouted loudly as he rode Laifu forward dozens of meters.

The goblin dart soldiers who were running around seemed to have triggered some mechanism after hearing the word "death".

No matter how far he ran, he turned around and leaned towards Teemo.

Along with them came the remaining big-eared monsters.

puff puff!

Teemo raised his blowgun and prepared to take action.

Lai Fu below sneezed, spitting out a fireball, which blew the big-eared monster away.

After Lai Fu drank the flaming tequila, his ability to manipulate flames was slightly improved, and now he can manipulate flames more easily.

The power has also increased slightly.

It’s no problem to kill this kind of ordinary big-eared monster instantly with a fireball.

The goblins gathered together and regained some of their fighting power, and finally worked together to wipe out these big-eared monsters.

[Reminder: You have destroyed a one-star big-eared monster stronghold, and obtained 1 battle point, 3 territory reputation points, and 1 one-star stronghold treasure chest.]

Rewards received!

Mo Yu ignored the corpse on the ground and urged his warhorse to the big-eared monster's lair.

After looking around, I didn't find anything of value.

I picked up seven giant-eared monster hammers and decomposed 29 units of iron ore.

When he came back, Teemo had finished scolding the Goblin Darter.

I have to say, these goblins are really good at escaping.

Even though the battle was so chaotic just now, there wasn't even a single injured person.

They were all intact, and at most they just threw away the blowguns in their hands.

When it comes to saving their lives, goblins are really good at it.

"Let's talk about it after we get back. Let's continue!" Mo Yu calmed down Timo, who was getting a little irritable, and commanded the team to continue moving forward.

The map showed that on the way to the four-star werewolf stronghold, there was a two-star human stronghold in the left front waiting for them to deal with.

The distance is not too far, only two or three kilometers.

The team ran at full speed, and in just twenty minutes, the stronghold came into sight.

The direction has deviated a lot.

Fortunately, the opponent's target was large enough and they easily discovered this stronghold in the wilderness.

"What kind of soldiers are they?" Mo Yu stopped his horse and asked.

The Shadow Scout's markings only showed that this was a human stronghold, but did not reveal the specific types of troops.

Timo held the telescope in his hand, looking at them, and said hesitantly, "I can't recognize what kind of soldiers they are. They look like they are holding dung forks and shovels, which seem to be farm tools."

"Farm tools?" Mo Yu was a little surprised.

Could this be peasant soldiers?
Refreshed wild monsters of the same type have the possibility of being captured.

Timo nodded affirmatively. "Yes, their weapons are all farm tools. But there are a few who look pretty fierce."

A small number of advanced peasant soldiers, and a large number of ordinary peasants.

Mo Yu had probably made a judgment in his mind that he didn't need to be cautious with such an enemy.

What we need to think about now is how to force the other party to surrender.

Well...it's not that difficult, just show your force.

Mo Yu rode his horse forward and stopped fifty meters away from the nearby stronghold, using reconnaissance skills to check them one by one.

Peasants...militia...armed militia...mobs...

There are quite a few people in the stronghold, nearly a hundred, but their types are complicated.

As he looked at the farmers in the stronghold, the farmers were also looking at him.

The farmers in the stronghold did not rush up with weapons in hand like the big-eared monster did when they met them, but just looked at this side vigilantly.

"That's not very sensible!"

Mo Yu shook his head and opened the door to war.

I thought I could save on the number of times I summoned the War Gate, but I didn't expect it wouldn't.

He only had twenty goblins with him, and with such combat power, it would be difficult to make these militiamen surrender.

The sudden appearance of a large number of defense towers in the open space made the farmers' breath stop, but they still waited and watched.

The limited knowledge was not enough for the militiamen to judge the strength of these defense towers.

Before they had time to think about it, many summoned creatures such as earth ants, fire wolves, etc. swarmed out, and they became completely panicked.

Hey, that's right.

Seeing that the mood was right, Mo Yu cleared his throat and motioned Timo to go forward and persuade them to surrender.
