In just a few minutes, the number of troops teleported over from the forest gate reached thousands. These troops quickly took over the garrison of the small city and began to clean up and repair the ruins of the city wall that Nathir had destroyed.
It seemed that as Dafei had expected, the observer's main purpose was to see if the mine was worth the kingdom sending troops. The size of the dock, the extension of the World Tree here, and Dafei's crushing advance completely strengthened the observer's determination to send troops.
According to the previous analysis, there might be a demon city nearby, and the frontline would probably be quite large if they dug all the way down. However, Dafei did not have time to care about these things, so he left them to the kingdom's NPCs.
Dafei came to the observer and said with a smile, "Sir Observer, time is of the essence. Our army is about to attack the mine on the ancient tree. "
The observer said impatiently, "Okay, let's go! By the way, Lord Castellan can recruit 500 Command Points on the spot. "
System notification: You have received 500 Command Points from the kingdom's support. Please choose the troops you need from the garrison.
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. "Get troops? This is? "
The observer smiled and said, "Of course it's a reward for Lord Castellan. Lord Castellan has taken down a dock transit station. With such a huge contribution, the kingdom must show some appreciation."
That's right, just like the Forest Goddess, the kingdom had this tradition. Very good, my regular troops are all left in New Oriental to do business, and I'm worried that I don't have enough troops. Dafei smiled and said, "Okay, the more troops the better. I won't stand on ceremony then."
System notification: 250 Jungle Archers have joined your army.
For the elven army, it was never wrong to choose a Level 3 Jungle Archer no matter when or where. Not to mention that Dafei's current attributes had increased the whole army. Even if it was a Flower Demon with 2 HP, it could be increased to more than 30 HP. It was incomparably strong. In Dafei's hands, the Jungle Archer was undoubtedly a walking fortress.
Now that a spatial door opened at the foot of the ancient tree, Dafei immediately led the observer into the car. "Sir, please!"
The observer laughed and said, "I won't stand on ceremony either!"
Then, Dafei told Anlícia what to do. "If anything goes wrong, teleport the Fly back to the city immediately. Don't worry about us!"
Anlícia sighed. "I'm the one staying behind again. However, you must ensure the Observer's safety. "
Dafei nodded. "Of course. I won't let the observer leave the ancient tree." It couldn't be helped. Only Anlícia and Tamilia could teleport. Tamilia still had to retrieve the Holy Vine, so Anlícia had to stay behind.
Then, Dafei remembered something. "While you're here, take stock of the ores in the city. They should be considered our spoils of war, right? In any case, we might not be able to transport it away. Whether you want to give it away or sell it, it's up to you. "
Anlícia smiled and said, "I know."
Then, Dafei left a gargoyle in the sky above the small city and petrified it to monitor the situation. Looking at the expansion of the field of vision on the map due to the monitoring of the Gargoyles, Dafei's heart skipped a beat. If I can produce hundreds of Gargoyles, then I will have turned on a map cheat to illuminate the world!
Unfortunately, this gargoyle only produced one a week. It was too slow. If the enemy found out and lost one, it would be a huge loss of time. If he wanted to increase the production of gargoyles, he would probably have to upgrade the clock tower to level 10. However, now that Dafei was in huge debt, Dafei didn't dare to think about such a thing.
Now, under the lead of the ancient tree, Dafei's troops marched toward the mine step by step. Although the ancient tree looked slow, in fact, one step was equivalent to ten steps for a human. It wasn't as slow as people thought. Last time, Dafei took a sneaky detour and spent a lot of time. This time, however, Dafei directly advanced along the mining road. His progress was incomparable to the last time.
Under the scouting of the blood eagles, there were ore carriages abandoned by the Hell Clan along the way. Obviously, they had fled when they heard the news. It could already be imagined that the mine's guards must be waiting for them in battle.
To be honest, if he could sneak in like last time, Dafei would still prefer that method. But this time, the ancient tree was participating in the battle, so he might as well face it head-on. However, he didn't know if the general guarding the mine this time was much stronger than the fat Abyss.
However, from the way the observer carefully observed the scenery outside the window and took notes, the kingdom was definitely determined to win. So, no matter how strong the opponent was, Dafei wasn't afraid.
At four o 'clock in the morning, Dafei's troops advanced to the end of the road. It was a Hell Fortress with a deep trench and tall archer towers!
Dafei's jaw dropped to the ground! It hadn't been that long, but the other party had already built a city! And the circle of flames under the city was clearly lava dug out from a volcano. The ancient tree wasn't afraid of anything else, but the Hell Clan's magma moat. This battle was probably going to be a pain in the ass. It wasn't something that could be settled in a few days, right? If he couldn't settle it in three days, he would have to go back to the City of Mages to participate in the auction.
Dafei hurriedly said, "Sir Observer, you see, my mission is only to attack this mine, but I didn't say that I must take it, right?"
The observer said seriously, "Of course, this is also why the military sent me to assess the enemy's situation. The City Lord is just a vanguard to test the waters. We'll fight as far as we can. However, with a fortress of this size and the terrain of the mine, City Lord, please act according to your strength. "
Dafei said with satisfaction, "I'm relieved to hear that from the observer."
Attacking a city was indeed a terrifying thing. If they used conventional troops, even ten times the number of troops might not be able to take it. Up until now, Dafei didn't have any experience in attacking a city, so Dafei definitely wouldn't take this risk. In any case, he didn't have to take this mine, so he might as well use the casual method of attacking.
If it was before, the most casual method would be to send angels to harass the enemy, but now that he had the Flower Demons, Dafei had a more meaningful way to play.
Dafei said to Serbia, "It's not convenient for our army to attack the city directly. In the next two days, you will lead the 300 Flower Demons to harass the enemy with sound waves. It'll be best if you can force the enemy out of the city, but it doesn't matter if you can't. As long as we can train the Flower Demons, we'll achieve our goal."
Serbia nodded. "Got it. Just watch me."
Just then, Tamilia stepped forward and said excitedly, "My lord, I can feel the holy vines' aura. They're still alive and trapped at the bottom of the mine. If our army can't charge in directly, I think I'll sneak in through the small path we took last time!"
Dafei was shocked. "You're going in alone?"
Tamilia said seriously, "Of course. My life is one with the Holy Vines, so it doesn't matter if something happens to me. You don't have to worry about my safety, sir. And with you attracting the enemy's attention, it'll be even harder for the enemy to discover me. "
Dafei frowned. "You can't be stealthy, can you? How about this, I have six Detection skill books here. You can learn Master Level and Stealth, and then my Blood Eagle will accompany you in! "
Tamilia shook her head and smiled. "City Lord, I can learn Detection to increase my vision, but I can't learn Stealth. This is a special characteristic of our race. So there's no need for you, sir. "
Dafei was shocked. "There's such a thing?"
Tamilia smiled. "Heroes of different races naturally have restrictions on certain Hero skills."
Only then did Dafei understand. Indeed, just like how Undead Heroes couldn't learn Light Magic, if Heroes of flying races could learn Stealth, Dafei didn't even dare to think about it. Perhaps this was the game's limitation on the "Stealth", a skill that defied the natural order.
Dafei nodded. "Alright, my Blood Eagle will follow you. If we encounter any enemies, I can help to hold them back. It's even better if we don't encounter any enemies. We can also scout the enemy's interior. "
Tamilia was overjoyed. "Alright, I'll be off then!"
Now, Dafei's Blood Eagle followed Tamilia back to the old path. The sounds of Serbia's zither and 300 Flower Demons' piercing short flutes echoed in the underground space. The other troops began to use Dafei's new Lord Level skill, Fortification, to dig trenches on the main road.
