Chapter 179: The maze blocks the door, closes the door and beats the dog

"Listen, people on the other side, you are surrounded now... Put down your weapons and surrender immediately..."

"I'll give you one last minute to think about it. In one minute, we will officially launch the attack!"

Hearing Timo's words of persuasion to surrender, the militia in the stronghold became agitated.

A man walked out of the stronghold and shouted, "What good will it do you if we surrender? We——"

His words were cut short as a spear pinned him to the ground.

Blood gushed out from the gun barrels, and the militiamen who were echoing the man fell silent and could not utter a word.

"Being alive is the good thing!" Mo Yu sneered while riding on his warhorse.

Joining a territory is not without benefits.

But Mo Yu didn't want to negotiate with him. There was no need to do so, and it was not an important branch of the army.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is the simplest and most effective means of control.

There was no need for any nonsense. After the death of the leader, the militiamen who understood the situation were easily taken into the territory.

As for the issue of loyalty, Mo Yu is not very concerned.

Regardless of whether they are loyal or not, as long as they stay quietly for a period of time, the library will transform them into what the territory needs.

Although it is a bit cruel, it is good for them and the territory. It is better than losing your life.

[Reminder: You have destroyed a two-star human stronghold, and obtained 2 battle points, 6 territory reputation points, and 1 two-star stronghold treasure chest.]

The militia in the stronghold were cleared out, and the cleanup mission was naturally completed as a matter of course.

2 battle points, 6 reputation points. This value should be related to the star level of the stronghold.

Then by analogy, a four-star stronghold can contribute 4 conquest points.

"Before entering the underground world, I should be able to successfully defeat the intermediate lords, and I can make a small fortune from those lords." Mo Yu smiled.

Intermediate lords can increase the number of buildings demolished in captured territories, and should be able to bring back quite a few rare buildings from underground.

Just as I was fantasizing, Teemo came over.

"Brother Mo, what should we do with these militiamen?"

There were quite a few militiamen who surrendered from the stronghold, a total of 129 people, and Mo Yu’s War Gate could not accommodate them all.

There are two ways to deal with them now. Take them forward and attack the four-star stronghold, or split the team and arrange for someone to bring them back to the territory and hand them over to Dazhuang for resettlement.

But there are problems with both methods.

Continuing to move forward with these militiamen would not only be slow, but would also be of little help in the battle and would also add to the complexity.

The team was split up, and the already limited number of people around Mo Yu had to be drastically reduced.

After all, with fewer people, they may not be able to suppress the militia, and there is no telling what kind of chaos may arise along the way.

Mo Yu frowned and quickly made up his mind.

"Well, Timo, you take the shadow scouts and escort them back to the territory first, and I will take care of the goblins."

"After you settle them, come find me again and follow the map directly to the Jackal stronghold."

Timo hesitated to speak. He didn't want to miss the battle against the gnolls from the bottom of his heart, but his obedience to his superiors made him nod.

"Okay, now we will split into two groups."

Mo Yu patted Timo's head, passed the information to Cui Zhengli in the territory through the chat channel, and ordered Da Zhuang to arrange personnel to prepare to receive these new subjects.

Soon, Timo led everyone back.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen shadow scouts, who served as both the team's guards and escorts.

There are still 4 shadow scouts left in Mo Yu's war space to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Let's go to the next target!"

The goblin dart soldiers moved upon hearing the order. They had all witnessed how skilled Mo Yu was in operating the defense tower, so they had a heartfelt respect for him.

Therefore, there is no situation where these goblin dart soldiers will become uncontrollable after Teemo leaves.

Mo Yu sent out 20 goblin dart soldiers to monitor the situation within a kilometer around them and notify Mo Yu immediately if there was any danger.

Now that our strength is weakened, we should be more cautious and try to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Otherwise, you will be entangled by a group of monsters with mediocre strength, and the number of times you can conquer the gate will be wasted.

Lai Fu followed Mo Yu, sticking out his tongue, looking very happy.

[Hint: You opened the one-star stronghold treasure chest and received the following rewards: 10 Lightning Scrolls, 10 White Magic Crystals, and 800 Gold Coins.]

[Hint: You open the two-star stronghold treasure chest and get the following rewards: Nine Ox Crossbow*1, Book of Strength*3, and two-star soldier nest heart (frogman warrior).]

Riding on his warhorse, Mo Yu opened the two treasure chests he had just obtained from the stronghold.

Not bad, everything that was prescribed was useful.

The lightning scroll can be used to transform into an elemental tower, and the white magic crystal is also a very important resource.

The power core of most magic energy machines is white magic crystal, such as the goblin lumberjack and the mining machine that the territory is developing.

The acquisition of these white magic crystals will help the territory develop more magic machines.

Among the several items that opened from the two-star stronghold treasure chest, the Heart of the Troop Nest is still the material for feeding the territory's troop nests.

Although frogmen are underwater soldiers, their rank is too low.

Mo Yu didn't have much idea about building the second-level troops.

There are two items left. The Nine Oxen Crossbow is a city defense equipment. It is said that it takes nine oxen to pull it open, and its attack power is very strong.

The thing is good, but considering the ammunition and operation issues, it is more cost-effective to convert it into a defense tower.

The Book of Power, on the other hand, is a consumable item.

After the target is read, the strength attribute can be increased slightly.

"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!"

Mo Yu regained his composure, squeezed his horse's belly, and urged the warhorse to rush quickly towards the four-star werewolf stronghold.

According to the map, the Werewolf stronghold is slightly offset to the south.

The distance is not too far, close to the edge of the mountains, about seven or eight kilometers away.

At this moment, several goblin dart soldiers came back crawling.

"My Lord, a group of claw demons have discovered us and are chasing us here."

"The Claw Demon?"

As he spoke, the figure of the Claw Demon appeared at the end of Mo Yu's sight.

[Claw Devil]

[Level]: Level 3 rare
[Status]: Excited
[Ability]: Claws, tear

[Description]: A common abyss soldier with excellent melee capabilities.

There are more than forty of these clawed demons. They are short and hunched, with thick forelimbs and a pair of long and sharp claws.

They were running very fast and approaching quickly.

Those goblins were being chased, and even though the Claw Demon could clearly catch up, they deliberately maintained the illusion that they could escape.

They seemed to enjoy the thrill of the chase.

Seeing Mo Yu and Lai Fu standing there quietly, the Claw Demon couldn't help but get furious.

You dare not run away? I will tear you to pieces.

Lai Fu got furious when he saw this scene. Timo's little brother is his little brother. How can you play with him?

It let out a vicious bark and spit out a flaming Husky of the same size as itself, which pounced and bit it.

The Claw Demon did not dodge or evade the Flame Husky that was charging head-on.

They used to live in the harsh semi-molten environment of the abyss, and were naturally resistant to fire, so they were naturally not afraid of Lai Fu's flames. Bang, the Flame Erha suddenly changed and turned into a net, covering several claw demons in a snap.

Resistance is resistance, but facing the restraint of these flames, the Claw Demon cannot break free for a while.

Mo Yu was also a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect Lai Fu to have grown to this point.

The future is promising!

In the future, there may be a place for the mythical beast Erha in this world.

Seeing their companions being entangled, the remaining claw demons became furious and had no mood to continue teasing the goblins.

They accelerated suddenly, preparing to kill the goblin as quickly as possible, and then deal with the man and the dog in front of them.

"Who gave you the courage!"

How could Mo Yu let them kill his soldiers right under his nose?

He snorted coldly and summoned the War Gate.

What he hates most is this kind of encounter in the wild.

If you don’t summon a defense tower, you may not be able to win.

There are only four shadow scouts on hand, and a head-on battle is difficult and too risky.

However, summoning a defense tower will waste one activation opportunity.

Fortunately, after many upgrades, the War Gate has been opened 20 times, so Mo Yu can still afford it.

His plan today was to go wherever he could in the wild. When there were only two times left to open the Gate of War, he would directly activate the Return to City spell and return to the territory.

Currently it is twice. If you don’t encounter wild monsters, you can maximize the number of strongholds to sixteen.

But obviously this is impossible.

The current situation is the best proof.

Fire!
The Gate of War opened, and the defense tower poured out fire, instantly covering all the claw demons.

The terrifying firepower coverage and head-on attack made the Claw Demon stunned.

The defense tower, containing Mo Yu's rage, erupted with the most violent attack, flames, spears, golden swords... the overwhelming attacks instantly submerged them.

There was no force to resist at all. The defense tower cooperated with the rock-armored army ants summoned by the earth-armored ant nest tower to quickly wipe out the claw demon group.

There is no regret in this matter. From the moment the Claw Demon chased them, their fate was already determined.

The Skeleton Resurrection Tower works together with the Flame Totem Tower to directly liberate the soul.

There were only two troop enhancement items picked up on the battlefield. These Claw Demons were comparable to Skeleton Soldiers, or even worse than Skeleton Soldiers.

In fact, their claws are good forging materials.

It’s just that time is tight and Mo Yu has no time to collect them. He has to do something big now.

The defense tower was quickly put away and the team continued to move forward.

On the next journey, they encountered a monster again, but it was a slower stone-armored beast.

A fat, reptilian monster covered in thick stone armor.

Mo Yu ignored their pursuit and quickly bypassed them with the goblins.

Near noon, the team finally arrived outside the Werewolf stronghold.

The four-star werewolf stronghold is no longer a simple gathering camp.

They were stationed in a mountain stronghold at the foot of the mountain. It had a wooden wall more than three meters high, and dozens of arrow towers and sentry towers could be seen inside.

It can be seen that the Jackals are very vigilant in their strongholds, and they have people patrolling at all times.

Mo Yu did not rush to launch an attack, but found a more secluded place and ate lunch.

Lunch was soft wheat bread, very fragrant and soft.

These goblin blowgun soldiers were lucky enough to follow Mo Yu. If they followed other teams, their lunch would be just ordinary bread.

Now that the territory has wheat field resource points, combined with the bread tower, bread freedom has been fully realized.

The Goblin Dart Warrior held the bread and gobbled it up ravenously, wishing he could swallow it whole.

The shadow scout was much quieter, tearing off pieces one by one and stuffing them into his mouth.

Lunch ended quickly, and after resting for half an hour, Timo still didn't arrive.

"It's not my fault!"

Mo Yu stood up, clapped his hands, and began to prepare for battle.

The four-star stronghold is well-defended, so there is no need to send the goblins and shadow scouts up there to die.

They were sent out by Mo Yu to guard against any sneak attacks from monsters in other directions while Mo Yu was dealing with the stronghold.

This location is close to the mountains.

There are many high-level magical beasts in the mountains, and the distribution of their forces is more complicated than in the wilderness, so it is still necessary to be on guard.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
One defense tower after another was summoned and placed three hundred meters away from the Werewolf stronghold.

Although the terrain here is lower, the towering defense tower completely eliminates the opponent's defensive advantage from a high position.

Now it seems that the defense tower on Mo Yu's side is taller.

The sudden change immediately caught the attention of the jackals.

Accompanied by bursts of heavy bell sounds, a large number of gnolls ran out of the wooden dwellings in the village and gathered at the gate of the village.

At this time, Mo Yu had already completed all the preparations.

All the defense towers have been summoned, everything is ready, and there is nothing missing.

The gnolls are not fools. They have arrow towers in their territory, so they can naturally recognize what these tall towers outside the territory are.

Their poor brains couldn't figure out what was going on.

But I know deep down that I can't just sit there and wait for death when facing the defense tower.

A group of jackals jumped out of the village gate, ready to come over and take a look at the situation.

But I didn’t know that I had just gone out.

A golden wall rose up and stretched before them.

Golden maze!

Mo Yu directly put the golden maze in front of their faces, and the outer wall of the golden maze was almost sticking to the gate of their village.

The terrain where the village was built had only one passage leading down the mountain.

The main feature is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Now blocked by the golden maze, the jackals in the camp had no way of getting out.

As soon as you go out, you will be immediately included in the golden maze.

This was what happened to the vanguard team of gnolls. They entered the maze and quickly lost their way.

"Attack, take down all the defense towers first!"

Mo Yu commanded the defense tower to launch an attack. Taking advantage of the terrain, he was not in a hurry at all.

Just block these jackals and eliminate their manpower bit by bit.

Poor gnolls, their own strength is not weak, most of them are around level three or four.

I was blocked by the golden maze and couldn't even get out.

As soon as you go out, you will get lost, but if you don’t go out, you will be blocked by the opponent’s defense tower.

As for the defense tower's counterattack, not to mention the range issue, it was smashed to pieces by huge rocks before it could even launch a few rounds of attacks.

As the sea of ​​flames spread, the wooden gates and houses in the mountain village quickly caught fire, and the entire jackal stronghold soon turned into a sea of ​​fire...
