Now, in the captain's room, all of Dafei's adjutants were gathered around the map table.
Lamia pointed at an icon of Volcanic City surrounded by a red circle of light on the map in high spirits. "This is the Inferno City that we are in, which is rich in earthfire crystals. This circle of light is the boundary of the Inferno City. Under the shroud of the boundary, the entire mountain vein here is isolated from the main world. Even if mortals come to the periphery of the mountain area of the Inferno City, they won't be able to see the existence of the Inferno City, much less enter."
"However, because maintaining such a huge range and strength of the barrier requires a lot of energy, in order to save energy, this barrier is a one-way defense. That is, it's very difficult for the people on the outside to enter, but it's very easy for the people inside to come out. This is the same function as most barriers, but it's incomparable to the divine power barrier of the World Tree. Therefore, the defensive barrier on Master's ship will soon face this problem. We'll talk about this later. Our first goal right now is to leave this barrier. I believe it won't be long before the city lord organizes a large-scale military force to search for and expel us. "
Dafei's eyebrows jumped. "We spent so much effort to get in here with West Laina's help. If we just leave like this, will we be able to come back in the future?"
Lamia laughed. "West Laina doesn't know the way, so he can only force his way in. But with me around, it's different. If master succeeds in attacking the other cities' Teleportation Formations, I can also use the city's Teleportation Formation to teleport master's ship. "
Dafei said in surprise, "You're that powerful?"
Lamia smiled and said, "It's just that the Infernal Race's teleportation facilities are far beyond the imagination of the races on the ground. For the races on the ground such as humans and elves, teleporting large legions of goods is a very laborious and costly thing, but it's nothing to the Infernal Race. That's why I say that Master is fortunate to have an adjutant like me, who is proficient in the operations of the Hell Legion, to assist him. This is a field of management that a low-level banshee like Deirdre would never be able to reach! "
Serbia snorted, "You have no right to belittle someone who has defeated you!"
Lamia snorted coldly, "It was my former employer who was too stupid. I just lost to my master."
What the heck, he really knows how to flatter! Dafei hurriedly waved his hand. "Let's just talk about the war now. Don't mention anything else."
Lamia smiled and said, "Then Master, fly out of the barrier at full speed now. In order to conceal the direction of our main attack, I suggest that we leave this part of the map first. Along the way, we deliberately let the two demon sentries here and here see us. Then, he suddenly turned back and headed straight for Syndicate City! "
Looking at Lamia's calm command on the map, Dafei could not help but be impressed by her competence. "Alright, Tamilia, we'll follow Lamia's route."
"Got it. City Lord! "
Hearing Tamilia's calm and obedient tone, Dafei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Tamilia's personality was still good. Since the route was confirmed, it was time to ask about something else.
Dafei asked again, "Is this earth-fire crystal a specialty of Inferno City?"
Lamia nodded. "There are many types of earth-fire crystals. The lowest-grade earth-fire crystal has three to four times the energy of ordinary crystals of the same unit. Middle-grade earth-fire crystals can reach the level of fine crystals that are 10 times the energy of ordinary crystals. As for high-grade crystals, they may have exceeded the scope of resources but are specialized treasures and materials."
Dafei sighed. "It seems that not all the good things are in the new world. The old world also has resources and treasures that are not inferior to the new world."
Lamia smiled. "But the new world can still greatly divert attention. Otherwise, the scale of our current war would be far from what we see now."
As they spoke. A curtain of red light appeared in the sky in front of the Sky Boat. Lamia continued to explain, "Master, this is the boundary of Inferno City and the edge of the mining area. That is to say, the large area we were in just now is a vein of earth-fire crystals. Even if there are no guards here and Master loots for nothing, Master may not be able to finish it in more than ten years!"
Dafei was shocked. "What is outside the boundary?"
Lamia replied, "After leaving the boundary, we will enter a vast underground space. The more volcanic activity is in the underground area, the more likely it is to have a vast underground space. This is an existence that the creatures of the surface world cannot imagine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dafei saw a fiery red in front of him. The Sky Boat passed through the boundary, and then the scene changed. The Sky Boat appeared in a sparkling dark space. The sparkling crystal light seemed to make Dafei feel like he was in the starry sky!
Dafei couldn't help exclaiming, "What's that sparkling thing?"
Lamia smiled and said, "Master. It might be diamonds! "
Dafei was shocked. "Diamonds? So many? Are they just left outside without anyone mining them? "
Lamia smiled and said, "Master, rare resources can be seen everywhere in the underground space, such as these diamonds, which are regarded as treasures by the surface world. This kind of gem can only be produced under the high pressure of underground volcanic lava. If it wasn't for the volcanic eruptions that brought the diamonds to the surface world, the surface world would never have gotten this kind of gem. That's why it's so precious. And diamonds are the most inconspicuous among the many rare resources in the underground world. Mining them is not a high priority. After all, mining the earth-fire crystals is already too busy. "
Dafei's heart tightened. "Then hasn't Hell made a fortune after operating underground for so many years?"
Lamia nodded. "That's right! Only by controlling and conquering the underground world can they truly gain the initiative in the war. Hell has been doing this for thousands of years, so every time Hell launches an attack on the surface world, the scale is beyond the imagination of the surface world. This is the result of Hell's long-term accumulation of resources! "
Elena also spoke up. "But it's not so easy to conquer the underground. The strength of the monsters in the underground world is also beyond imagination. The rarer and more precious the resources, the more powerful the creatures will occupy them. For example, the black dragon!"
Lamia smiled and said, "As expected of the castellan, you can actually recruit such a beautiful and elegant dark elf lady! That's right, even the powerful Hellhounds can't expedition to the underground world far away from the volcanic stronghold. So although the Hellhounds have a huge advantage in resources, a large part of the resources are consumed in the competition with the underground creatures, so the advantage is not as great as imagined. "
"I see!"
Looking at the piles of diamonds in the distance, Dafei was extremely conflicted. This was like the door to a new world opening to him. Was he just going to walk by and let it go?
Dafei turned to Tamilia and asked, "Well, can our Holy Vine Central Lake eat diamonds like we dissolve cold emeralds?"
Tamilia shook her head. "Castellan, ordinary diamonds have no magic power and can only be used as decorations. They are not listed as resources and are not beneficial to our Central Lake at all."
Dafei could not help but sigh. "Indeed, demons don't like them either."
At this moment, Lamia laughed. "Master, ordinary diamonds do have no magic power, but there are still magic diamonds, and the level of concentrated energy is unimaginable-"
At this point, Lamia pointed to the map again, and the icon of a two-headed monster holding a purple diamond appeared on the map that had no markings just now!
"Wow!" Dafei and all the beautiful adjutants present were in an uproar. Of course, it was not because of the icon, but because this map had such a magical effect. Was it an electronic map? Then it could be imagined how much information was hidden on this map. This Lamia really had the goods!
Lamia smiled and said, "Master, there is an ogre tribe here that guards the magic purple diamond. The chief's strength is at the demigod level, and their fortress is on a high cliff. Under the high cliff, there is an underground river as a natural barrier. It is a hard bone for the Infernal Legion to chew. Every time the Infernal Legion's expedition fails, they send a large amount of fresh meat to strengthen their tribe. But Master has a flying warship that can completely offset their terrain advantage. Since Master is in urgent need of resources and corpses, do you want to go here to practice first? "
Dafei frowned. "Demigod level?"
Lamia nodded. "Master, if we can't even take down such a small tribe, then our robbery of Syndegar City can only be carried out on the outermost periphery. We even have to change our target now."
So it was another test of his strength? Dafei turned to ask the other beautiful adjutants, "What do you think?"
Tamilia immediately asked, "What's the population there?"
Lamia shook her head. "The last time we came, there were no less than a thousand. After eating a lot of fresh meat, there will probably be a few hundred more people now."
Tamilia said seriously, "Master, in the battle just now, although our Holy Vine Space also ate a lot of demons, it was still slightly more consumption than benefit. We urgently need to find a weaker enemy to replenish our energy and produce a large batch of evil demons. Now there are still only 300 evil demons, and the labor force is not enough for us to carry out a large-scale city raid!"
What she said made too much sense. Dafei immediately decided. "Okay, let's use this ogre tribe to practice first!"
And for the Sky Ship that could continuously teleport across half of the earth in an afternoon, the distance on the map was not a problem at all. It did not need to consume the Holy Vine's own energy at all. They only needed to send troops to take turns to replenish the magical energy of the recharging crystal, and it would not take up much time.
So 20 minutes later, the Sky Ship arrived at its destination, then entered stealth and stealthily approached the target.
There was a group of caves on top of an underground waterfall. If it was not underground, this terrain would be called the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits Mountain Curtain Cave. It was indeed a natural stronghold! And under the high cliff of the cave, there were countless giant bones piled up. If he did not know that these were ogres, Dafei would have thought that this was an undead stronghold.
Lamia said sternly, "This ogre chieftain can use a spell between necromancy and shamanism to resurrect these skeletons to resist attacks from the ground. They are abnormally powerful, but they have no effect on Master's warship in the air. The only attack that they can threaten Master is throwing boulders, but I believe that Master's warship can withstand it. "
