Chapter 519 The Advance Base of the Expedition (for subscription)
"My lord, Wood is back."
Not long after returning to Hongguang Town, Chen Wei received the news.
Wood was sent out by Chen Wei before he went to meet the mechanical crafty body, starting from the only exit in the northwest territory of the Scourge Empire, and expanding outward.
His main task is to find the way.
After all, on the surface, the road on the northwest side is the only entrance and exit in Chen Wei's territory.
Chen Wei also needs to know where the road connects.
Compared with the woods on the edge of the territory, this road is still more dangerous.
When Chen Wei arranged for Wood to attack, he specially asked Wood to replenish some troops.
It's just that Wood doesn't want much.
Wood's mixed legion mainly brings troops with natural attributes, like Chen Wei's unique natural disaster troops, only armed war wolves are suitable to operate under Wood.
In addition, the Shuhai Army is actually very suitable for Wood's style, but the Shuhai Army has something to do now, so there is no way to go to help.
So Wood's mixed army just brought Wood's normal men, plus some supplementary troops, the number of which was just over 10,000.
At the same time, they also brought a logistics force.
Led by three logistics heroes.
One of these three logistics heroes can increase the movement speed, the other can increase the transportation volume, and the other has a different talent for building temporary garrison sites.
They followed Wood, advancing all the way, building roads all the way.
In the past month, they have managed to explore this road for at least 5,000 kilometers.
In this distance, every fifty kilometers there will be a point where large troops can rest, and every five hundred kilometers there will be a temporary fortress where large troops can station.
At the same time, the road was also repaired, in order to ensure that the main force and logistics troops could pass the road in front of them in a short time.
When he reached a position five thousand kilometers away, Wood stopped.
Not because they discovered the existence of other empires, but because Wood noticed that as the battle line stretched, more and more chaotic soldiers appeared on both sides of the road.
If he continues like this, most of his troops will be used to suppress the chaos on the road.
Logistics will be severely affected.
So Wood simply stopped at around 5,000 kilometers.
Of course, Wood didn't regard his actions this time as an armed spring outing.
After stopping at a position of about 5,000 kilometers, Wood started the engineering mode with him.
With the strength of the three heroes of the logistics team, Wood quickly cleared a relatively large piece of land, and built a formal fortress with the wood cut nearby.
Because there is no city heart or other building stones to help this fortress, it can only build a castle-like building.
The temporary function is only to allow troops to settle in, and there are no other functions.
The only thing that can be guaranteed is that the area occupied by this fortress is not bad because of sufficient materials.
After more than 10,000 people settled in, it didn't feel crowded.
At the same time, various wells and sewers were dug to ensure water and sanitation in the fortress.
Even if the fortress is besieged, it can still last for three to five months with the water and food stored inside.
After completing the construction of the fortress, Wood quickly walked back.
This back and forth just in time for Chen Wei to return to Hongguang Town to rest.
After seeing Wood, Chen Wei had a judgment in his mind as soon as he heard the outside situation.
In this world, the distance between empires is still very far. It can be seen from the fact that Wood and the others walked more than 5,000 kilometers along the road without encountering an empire.
Normally speaking, conflicts and wars between the two empires may be calculated on a yearly basis, because a lot of time is spent on the road.
And the new player played more easily.
He looks bolder, but he doesn't pick everything directly.
He invested all his troops in order to choose the empire he could win.
As long as the target is locked, he will put all his attention on the target he locked.
As for his own territory, Chen Wei believes that the flying city in the sky is the player's core city.
Territories on the ground may be a relatively big trap for other empires.
When the various empires prepare their troops, send troops, march, and finally rush to the player's territory, the player may have doubled the territory.
They may even have prepared their troops, just waiting for some troops from the empire to come.
Based on his own strength, Chen Wei made an assessment of the new player.
If it is such a wave of attacks.
As long as the newcomer can withstand five waves of attacks, the empire's forces near him will be almost exhausted.
Then it is time for him to fight back and annex these empires.
And this time, it will take about half a year.
It seems that this new player is a ruthless person.
Of course, this is not what Chen Wei is worried about.
Chen Wei is now worried about what to do if the new player digests the territory quickly.
After entering the new world, he will deal with all the empires in a comprehensive manner as soon as possible, and it can be seen that this person is not afraid of trouble.
is not an existence without ambition.
Chen Wei didn't believe that this man would stop his actions after swallowing some small empires.
Even if Chen Wei doesn't attack this player, after he defeats other empires, this player will take the initiative to trouble Chen Wei.
Chen Wei changed his mind and said to Wood.
"Wood, you did a good job this time, I will give you another task, you go to expand that fortress as our forward base.
When the time comes, clean up the chaotic soldiers on this road, and you don't have to guard the fortress. I will arrange another defensive force to garrison there. "
Wood didn't think as far as Chen Wei did, he didn't quite understand what Chen Wei was planning to do.
At this time, Chen Wei said again: "I guess that new player will definitely set his mind on other empires, if we don't do it now, we will definitely be surrounded by him in the end.
So I plan to use the fortress you just built to make a forward base and arrange a two-way portal.
Directly drop troops near that player's empire.
In this way, we can save a lot of time on the road.
This matter may have to be done by you. You should clean up the chaos on the road in the past few weeks. When the troops from the Calamity City are out, I will arrange a few white dragons for you.
After you get there, like this time, first find a place to build the advance base.
We will arrange troops to go there later, and we cannot let that guy's plan succeed. "
