Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 50: Breakthrough
The straight-line distance from Undercity is only twenty or thirty miles.

Although the terrain along the way is relatively steep, a small group of elite troops should be able to arrive in half a day with a quick march.

Of course it’s unrealistic to attack Undercity!
It is estimated that Undercity still has thousands of combat forces, as well as strong city walls and various defensive fortifications. With the current military strength of Miracle City, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking the city immediately.

but.

In front of Undercity.

There is a Black Wind Pass.

It is the gateway to Undercity.

It is also the last line of defense.

This pass is backed by a canyon, with steep terrain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As far as Qi Ji knew, Maggot Eye was the general in charge of guarding the Black Wind Canyon, but he suddenly died in the Black Bone Camp. The Dark Lord did not have the lord's vision, so he could not react at least in a short time.

There are opportunities to take advantage of.

Might as well take a gamble.

I bet that Undercity didn’t have time to send reinforcements to Black Wind Pass.

It's a bet that the Goblin Lord Bloodthroat never expected the human dungeon to be so bold and powerful.

If the bet wins.

Qi Ji will attack Undercity like a flying dragon.

The front line of the territory war was directly pressed in front of Undercity.

When Bloodthroat falls into a passive situation, he will definitely try to find a way to retake the pass. Qi Ji can then use the defensive advantages of the pass to consume the Undercity's troops again, and then counterattack and attack the city to end the battle!
Even if you lose the bet.

It's just a loss of some troops.

But the novice protection period is still very long.

Qi Ji had plenty of time to reorganize his troops.

This risk and cost are insignificant compared to the benefits of success!
[You resurrected the witch zombie (Bright Moon Shining on the Snow), consuming 30 points of mental power! ]

Qi Ji first activated the resurrection function of the Soldier's House. He resurrected five contracted adventurers who died in battle, including Mingyue Zhaoxue, and consumed a total of 90 points of mental power.

"Contract soldiers are really useful!"

Daily temporary workers not only need to be converted for a fee, but also consume spirits every time they die.

Regular workers are different. Not only can they be converted for free, but they also don’t consume any spirit. They can even be resurrected and rejoin the battlefield, so they can become part of the territory’s regular army.

The first-level soldier's house can revive soldiers 10 times a day.

Although resurrection will cause some consumption, it can quickly restore some combat power and greatly enhance the war potential of Miracle City.

A few minutes later.

Five contract soldiers including Mingyue Zhaoxue are back.

Tank No. 1 and Tank No. 2 who stayed behind in the monster camp were also teleported to the Black Bone Camp.

The Miracle City troops will be equipped with four tank zombies, one witch zombie, and a flamethrower tracker, which is enough to form a powerful combat force, and this is also the reason why Qi Ji dares to be so radical.

Not even close!
To be on the safe side.

Add a few more monster soldiers!
[You are summoning 4 "Exploder Zombies". This summoning will consume 160 "Spirit Power", 80 "Soul Crystals", and 4 "Exploder Spirits". Do you want to continue? Yes/No!]

Qi Ji added four more bombers.

The adventurers were confused when faced with the chubby, fat zombies.

Pig King: "Lord Qi, even if you need to replenish your troops, why would you summon such useless soldiers?"

Cat Mengmeng: "Yeah, monsters can be good or bad. Even though the Exploder is a two-star monster, it's not as useful as the Hunter!"

The other adventurers agreed.

This guy is fat and slow.

The most annoying thing is that it is very fragile and explodes at any time.

The shock wave and bile poison mist produced by the self-explosion are quite effective.

The problem is that once it self-destructs, your life will be lost. It is completely a disposable consumable.

Therefore, although the bombers often bring considerable threats and troubles in the secret realm, no adventurer would ever want to become a bomber zombie, and no adventurer would ever be prepared to contract it. It is purely a bench soldier.

"You'll know in a moment!"

Qi Ji glanced at the time and said, "Time is running out. This battle must be resolved quickly. Let's go!"

"okay!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Miracle City will win!"

"..."

A four-hour forced march.

Everyone arrived at the battle site.

"Is this the Black Wind Pass we're going to fight?"

"Oh my god, it's so high and steep, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in!"

This is a mountain stronghold built on the canyon terrain. The terrain is steep and the entrance is narrow. It looks easy to defend and difficult to approach.

Even if there are only a hundred or eighty soldiers stationed there, they can still form a strong defensive force.

It would take at least three or four hundred soldiers to pose a threat.

The adventurers looked at each other in confusion.

I’m afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!
Qi Ji: "Although the enemy has the advantage of terrain, this battle is not without chance of victory. In order to reduce losses, we cannot attack violently, we can only outsmart them!"

Baihe Jushi asked curiously, "So what does the Lord plan to do?"

Qi Ji did not explain directly, but selected four hunters and three smokers, "You are responsible for waiting for an opportunity to deal with the goblin archers above."

Blackstone Hammer King: "No problem!" Lone Wolf: "We hunters can climb up, but the question is how do we get close?"

Feng Zhongmian: "The enemy has a wide field of vision and there is no cover around. If we get close, we might be shot to death by arrows."

"Don't worry, we have airdropped troops, enough to contain them."

Airdrop soldiers?
What do you mean?
Where did the airdrop soldiers come from?

Qi Ji did not give a specific explanation.

He continued to order the two tanks, White Crane Monk and Angry Chicken, and the five assaulters led by the Pig King to act as the vanguard. When the battle started, they should attack the village gate directly from the front to attract attention. Their thick skin and flesh should be able to withstand most of the attacks.

Mercenary temporary workers are divided into two parts.

A group of 135 people launched an attack from the main gate.

A part of the thirty people were the paratroopers specially prepared by Qi Ji.

"Everyone get ready!"

Tank No. 1 and Tank No. 2 each lifted an explosive, and with their thick arms, they lifted a lead ball like a catapult and threw the explosive towards the wall of Heifeng Pass.

Throwing heavy objects is a traditional skill of tanks.

The accuracy is very good.

with no doubt!

Boom!

The two bombers exploded like cannons, and a shock wave wrapped in green poisonous mist instantly enveloped the pass wall, covering the dark goblins.

"continue!"

Bang bang, two more shots.

This is definitely a human grenade!

A thick green bile-like poisonous fog filled the air, completely obscuring the view.

"I see!"

Mr. Baihe's eyes lit up.

The lord used the explosive as a smoke bomb!

"I understand too!"

The Black Stone Hammer King was also excited. "The bile of this Exploder zombie is a great tonic for zombies. It can make us violent, quickly recover from injuries, and possess greater strength. However, other creatures will suffer burns to their eyes and respiratory tract."

The adventurers were stunned.

Then everyone's eyes lit up.

"Fuck!"

"Wonderful!"

"Can the Exploder be used like this? Suddenly I feel like this unit isn't that bad!"

"..."

Shrouded in green poisonous fog.

When the gatekeeper goblin lost his vision, he started coughing wildly.

Isn't this the opportunity to attack?
Not only that, although the bomber's bile mist will burn the eye membranes and respiratory tract of ordinary life, it is a good thing for zombies and can have a restorative and strengthening effect.

Launch the attack now.

When the zombies in Miracle City enter the green fog, they will be immediately blessed by the green poisonous fog, and fall into a violent state with their speed and strength greatly increased. This is equivalent to adding a BUFF that increases the combat power of the friendly forces!

"attack!"

Qi Ji ordered an attack on the city.

The hunters immediately took action.

But Qi Ji’s preparations for this exciting move have not yet ended.

Tank No. 1 and Tank No. 2 were busy all the time. After throwing the explosive zombies, they grabbed the temporary workers around them and threw them directly into the gatehouse in front.

"Airdrop troops?"

"This is what the Lord Lord was talking about, the airdrop soldiers!"

“That’s too sexy!”

"God damn airdrop soldiers!"

"It's literally an airdrop soldier!"

"Lord Qi, I've discovered that you're a fucking genius!"

Tanks are powerful.

Also good at shooting and throwing.

Plus the zombies are tough and durable.

Combined with the Exploder's healing effect.

It is enough to throw part of the combat force directly behind enemy lines.

Even if some of these paratroopers are lost, as long as a small portion maintains their combat effectiveness, they will recover quickly with the help of the explosive's bile mist and pose a threat to the defenders.

Enough to buy time.

Create offensive opportunities for others.

Baihe Jushi and Feng Zhongmian looked at Qi Ji with even greater respect.

This lord not only has the top ability to create secret realms, but it seems that his ability to command troops and fight battles is also first-class. With such a lord, why should Miracle City not rise?

All adventurers are greatly encouraged!
It seems that we can take this pass today.
