Chapter 451: Chapter 401, Pseudo-Dragon Guardian_2
Domina looked back at Fang Hao, spoke softly, “Sir, Blackstone Tribe has been gradually increasing their scouts around the mine, I fear a direct attack on the mine will happen soon, we should prepare in advance.”
Fang Hao did not regard the Blackstone Tribe too seriously.
His undead army was large enough to ravage their tribe.
The only difficulty was the broken path between the territory and mine.
The distance between the two places was too great.
Between the territory and the mine, a swath of orc tribes and strategic locations were cut off.
Specially now that Bronze Bull and Tasgo’s orc city were negotiating trade cooperation.
Whimsically deploying the large-scale undead army to the east could probably cause unpredictable troubles.
Despite having a large number of troops.
He had to deal with it carefully; causing too much commotion would affect his development and current peace.
A large-scale undead army could easily incite scattered orc groups, transforming into a racial battle.
Historically, there were instances of living beings rallying together to defeat the undead.
However, the Mithril Mine issue also need to be resolved.
Fang Hao began to ponder a solution.
Take advantage of the night and let the Bone Dragon launch a Dragon Breath attack on Blackstone Tribe, reducing their population.
Or perhaps he could liaise with hostile tribes to Blackstone Tribe for some cooperation.
If he couldn’t do it openly, there were plenty of covert ways.
“First, deal with the treasure cave issue. After that then we draw up a plan against the Blackstone Tribe,” Fang Hao said.
“As you command, sir.” Domina nodded.
“Alright, Domina you arrange for your people. Bring as many archers as possible. We’ll leave immediately,” Fang Hao continued.
“Yes, sir.”
…
As Domina was gathering her people, Fang Hao didn’t rest either.
He opened the Book of Lords and began making [Carts] and [Iron Arrows].
[100x amplification triggered – 303 Carts obtained]
[100x amplification triggered – 505000 Iron Arrows obtained]
The team’s carts stopped in the open area, and a massive number of arrows appeared out of nowhere, falling like rain all around.
The number of Iron Arrows may not be needed in this amount.
Even if there were leftovers, the leftover arrows could be given to the humanoid giant spiders’ archers.
Large numbers of giant spider hatchlings, forming a long line, emerged from the dense forest.
The hatchlings gathered the arrows scattered on the ground, then spat out white silk for bundling.
This way of gathering equipment was far more efficient than manually collecting the arrows.
In less than 10 minutes,
All the arrows on the ground were gathered, neatly stacked onto the carts.
Once the ground had been cleared, Fang Hao continued creating [Dragon Lock Crossbows] and [Crossbow Heavy Arrows].
[100x amplification triggered – 101 Dragon Lock Crossbows obtained]
[100x amplification triggered – 10100 Crossbow Heavy Arrows obtained]
The Crossbows and Heavy Bolts were made, littering the ground all around.
Dragon Lock Crossbows had wheels under them, which would make transportation facile.
The size of the Heavy Bolts was more like a lance, already exceeding the range of arrows.
Giant spider hatchlings attempted to reorganize, but even lifting proved to be a challenge. It came down to skeleton warriors to do the reorganization.
After the equipment preparation was completed, Domina brought her men out.
“Sir, excluding the soldiers left behind, I have gathered 100 spiderized archers and 50 spiderized warriors,” Domina said.
“Good, prepare to march at once.”
“Yes, sir.”
After a final check on the equipment, the team set out.
They continued eastward from the Webweaver’s camp. Some wild beasts followed the team from a distance.
The number of individuals in the team was considerable. The beasts only followed for a short distance before retreating back to the forest.
Under Domina’s guidance, Fang Hao and the others finally reached the fringe of the treasure cave’s mountain.
Before them was a magnificent mountain.
The mountain was densely forested, covered with robust trees.
The shade was thick, even paths to climb the mountain couldn’t be found.
“Sir, this is the mountain. The treasure cave on the map is located on the mountainside,” Domina transformed into her giant spider form, with her lower body enlarging into a colossal spider.
“What about those dragon-like creatures you mentioned?” Fang Hao, standing by the side, asked.
“They’re hiding in the forest on the mountain. Anytime someone gets close, they launch an attack, and there are a lot of them,” Domina explained.
It seemed there were no other beasts around here.
These are the dragon-like creatures Domina mentioned.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and continued to ask, “The terrain of the mountain is not suitable for crossbows and archers. Can these enemies be lured out?”
“They should be. Last time we were exploring this area, we were chased quite a distance.” Domina, with her huge spider body lying on the ground, replied.
“Good, then prepare to fight here. Demitrija, you are in charge of the battle arrangements,” Fang Hao immediately instructed.
Demitrija stepped forward, “Yes, Sir.”
Then, he began issuing loud orders to the troop, “Reinforce the crossbows, archers check your equipment, Anjia lead the infantry forward, prevent any enemies from descending the mountain….”
Orders were given one after another.
With the issuance of orders, everyone sprang into action.
The crossbows were reinforced and loaded with bolts.
The skeleton shooters and transformed spider-shooters were ready with their arrows, waiting for the enemy’s approach.
The close combat units moved to the front of the formation.
This way, they could have some defense in case any ground troops charged down.
After everything was ready, Fang Hao directly activated God’s Presence, controlling a skeleton archer and stepping directly into the dense forest on the mountain.
The mountain path was difficult to traverse, and he needed to use a dagger to chop off branches and thorns to proceed forward.
He reached halfway up the mountain.
Fang Hao indeed saw the dragon-like creatures lurking around the mountain cave.
[Pseudo-Dragon Guard (7th rank)]
They were just as Domina had described.
These Pseudo-Dragon Guards bore a shape very close to that of a large dragon, or rather, a smaller version of a large dragon.
But each of them was nearly the size of an adult bear.
They had brownish-red scales, four legs, and red flesh wings.
They rested on large rocks and trees, or chased around.
Their numbers were indeed substantial.
The 7th rank, among the troops, could be considered a rather high level, dominating this area as the apex creatures.
At the very least, ordinary tribes would not dare to provoke these pseudo-dragons.
He reconfirmed the surroundings again.
After not discovering any other creatures, Fang Hao took his bow, drew it against a pseudo-dragon in a tree hole in front, and fired an arrow.
Whizz! Puff!
The body of the pseudo-dragon was covered with a layer of scale armor.
But it obviously did not possess the genuine defense of a large dragon; the iron arrow broke through the superficial scale armor and entered the neck of the pseudo-dragon.
Although the wound was not deep, it caused the pseudo-dragon to emit a painful scream.
Fang Hao did not linger. He hung the bow on his back, turned around, and ran down the mountain.
Meanwhile, the pseudo-dragons found the suspicious invader at this moment.
Moreover, there was an arrow stuck in their companion’s neck.
They all let out screams.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
A large number of pseudo-dragons rushed into the sky and pursued the fleeing intruder.
Fang Hao ran non-stop, not daring to check the wooing noises behind.
He was not afraid of death, but feared that if the skeleton he was controlling died, he would have to draw the enemy again.
Fang Hao ran wildly and soon rushed out of the dense forest.
Only when he saw Demitrija and the others waiting ahead did he take the opportunity to look back.
A large number of pseudo-dragons filled the rear sky.
The number was even more than he had imagined, at least more than three hundred.
The pseudo-dragons also discovered the army below.
Not only were there the spider creatures from the day before yesterday, but also many skeletons.
The pseudo-dragons immediately changed their target, not caring about the fleeing skeleton, but rather rushed towards the mixed army below.
…
Blockading skies, the pseudo-dragons were coming, and the pressure was not small.
The undead didn’t seem too nervous but the transformed spider soldiers’ faces had started to change, and their spider-legs were beginning to tremble.
Demitrija, looking at the approaching pseudo-dragons,
said coldly, “Attack!”
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
Bang! Bang!
An intense barrage of arrows, like a large net, went straight towards the pseudo-dragons.
Thr crossbows also make earth-shaking noise, shooting hefty bolts into the sky.
