Bang Tianlei Ling Zhen!
Before specifically learning about "Water Margin", Ji Ye was undoubtedly unfamiliar with this name.
Even in the "TV series" of various versions of Water Margin, this hero did not appear a few times at all.
Just because, in a sense, he is not a "Liangshan hero" who is famous for fighting, but he is an officer and soldier himself, and at the same time he has become the leader of Liangshan with his ability of "cannon making" and "cannon shooting". Surrender the general".
In "Water Margin", the artillery built under his supervision can shoot fifteen or six miles!
You must know that the red cannons of the Qing Dynasty in history had an effective range of only ten miles.
Of course, this is because the novel is exaggerated to a certain extent, but in this place of inheritance, it is likely to become Ling Zhen's true ability.
Even more so, because he was attracted by the soul of civilization who had reached the third level of metamorphosis, Ling Zhen's abilities were more than that.
…
"Commander Ling, it's okay, please try it!"
Next to Erlong Village, there is a shooting range specially built for testing artillery.
Ling Zhen was wearing a suit of armor at this time, with a red cape fluttering behind him, and he was standing at the shooting position. However, what was strange was that the artillery that should be on the gun mount below was disassembled at this time.
The barrel of the small artillery made of metamorphic cold iron was held directly in Ling Zhen's hands.
"Okay, time to work!"
After speaking vaguely to the soldiers on the opposite side, Ling Chen used the fire stick in his mouth to directly light the fuse on the barrel!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a black cannonball rushed out directly from the cold iron barrel, carrying the high temperature generated by the explosion of gunpowder and hitting a cannon made of bamboo and fur about a hundred meters away at high speed. Inside the armor is a target made from the bones left by the Soul Clan!
"boom!"
Several layers of armor shattered instantly, and a pile of armor pieces flew in all directions, while the hard bones that had been strengthened and tempered by the soul clan followed closely and flew in all directions.
In the end, even the tree stump in the center that tied and supported the two was broken at the waist, and the upper part flew several meters away!
The power of this cannonball has definitely exceeded the one Ji Ye caught with bare hands before entering the human city.
"Ho!"
Ling Zhen, who directly held the Hantie Cannon barrel and fired the "Thunder Thunder", took two steps back with his feet, but the Hantie Cannon barrel was still held very firmly in his hands, even though it had just been fired. The barrel of the gun is theoretically extremely hot.
This is Ling Zhen's special ability. His arms with a bronze complexion can withstand the high temperature when the artillery is fired. His precise control of the artillery also allows him to directly use this small "cold iron artillery" Treat it as your own weapon.
"Do it again!"
Obviously, the artillery made by Han Tie and designed with modern technology made this "Hang Tian Lei" who ranked among the top "Earth Evil Stars" very satisfied.
Then, his face became a little excited again.
This time, he picked up two cannonballs and put them into the barrel without loading gunpowder.
Then he held his breath slightly and concentrated.
Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a strong wind all around, and a large amount of gas was sucked into the cold iron barrel.
"Whizzing!"
Then, two black cannonballs flew out of the barrel one after another and hit two other targets about fifty meters away, one on the left and one on the right. The armor on the target was shattered and flew out directly!
Although the power of this "serial cannon" move is not as good as the last one fired with black powder, it is definitely not bad.
It was Ling Zhen who acquired the extraordinary abilities belonging to the mud monster clan after merging the "earth monster heart" belonging to the sacrifice when he arrived.
It can be said that the perfect combination of this extraordinary ability with him as the "first gunner of the Song Dynasty" is enough to allow black powder and ancient artillery, which are not powerful enough in themselves, to exert the power of no less than truly modern artillery shells, making their attack power no less powerful. Any outstanding person.
However, the arrival of Ling Zhen has a negative impact on the stronghold of Erlong Village.
The real meaning is far more than just adding a mortal level combatant.
Rather, it lies in his ability to forge artillery, such as mother-and-child cannons, golden wheel cannons, wind cannons, carriage cannons, and sky-blasting cannons...
In addition, he is able to train "artillery" so that ordinary soldiers can master extraordinary combat power!
"Commander Ling, the leader of the village has called you to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters."
At this time, a village soldier shouted towards Ling Zhen.
…
Erlong Village, Juyi Hall.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the main hall.
In the row of seats on the left, there are old players such as Meng Lao, Jiao Lao, Su Nongying, Qin Yueyu, Li Qing and so on.
And sitting on the seats on the right were Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Jiu Shu, Ling Zhen and other outstanding figures!
The people sitting in these two rows are all people who play a decisive role in the stronghold of Erlong Village and are also responsible for one of the affairs of Erlong Village.
Of course, in addition to the main personnel in the two rows on the left and right, there are also some people with outstanding abilities who have also been qualified to participate, such as Chu Yin and Brother Chong among the newcomers, and Pei San among the aborigines.
In addition, Wu Qiao, a former "internal beta player", was also able to attend because of his experience in developing his own stronghold.
"Li Qing, tell me the situation!"
Ji Ye nodded towards Li Qing and said.
In the past few days since Ji Ye left, Li Qing was actually the busiest compared to the others.
Because, as a former scout who had obtained the initial item "Combat Power Detector", he was undoubtedly the best candidate to detect alien information.
Ji Ye left the "Mantis Invisibility Cloak" to him when he left.
In addition, the stronghold also consumed the two hundred rounds of bullets equipped for his pistol by the second-level "Civilization Stone", in order to allow him to detect the situation of the foreign races around Erlong Mountain.
When Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen return from the human city, the expansion offensive will be launched!
"According to my detection, there should be a total of four to five alien races bordering our stronghold."
"First, there are two alien races under the cliff, the soul race and the mud monster. Everyone already knows about the information about these two races, so I won't go into more details. I will focus on the remaining two races."
"One is a creature named 'Forest Monster'. Its stronghold is on the west side of our mountain. The environment of its territory is a patchwork of very tall trees. Its combat power level is around level five to eight. The level of civilization development is unknown."
"Because after I sneaked into the giant forest, I was immediately discovered by the other party. It seemed that the other party was able to detect the intruder and could only say to retreat immediately!"
As Li Qing spoke, he also asked security to pass some schematic diagrams he had drawn long ago to the people sitting there.
"In addition, to the south of Erlong Mountain is a very special alien race called the 'Metal Men'."
"Some of them look like humans in appearance, and they seem to have developed a relatively mature civilization. The most important thing is that their territory is actually made of various metal materials. Moreover, the metal people I encountered seemed All of them have mastered the power of metamorphosis, and they are suspected of being able to manipulate metal materials to attack!"
"A race of full metal?"
When he heard this, Mr. Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure mine.
"Master all the power of transformation?"
As for the rest of the people, their faces changed slightly because of the news.
"Mortal transformation does not necessarily mean that they are more powerful. In particular, they do not necessarily rely entirely on their own strength."
"Don't forget, if we create a pistol and everyone has one, then it is equivalent to everyone having mastered the power of metamorphosis!"
Mr. Meng said.
His primary responsibility is to educate the people in the village.
At the same time, he was also the intelligence analysis think tank in the cottage. At this time, he directly pointed out a possibility to stabilize the morale of the military.
"Here are four kinds."
"Why do you say there may be another kind? Does it mean the Eagle Clan?"
Ji Ye agreed very much with what Mr. Meng said.
Technology is also a type of extraordinary power, and even electricity is included in it. The key lies in the degree of mastery.
"It's not the Eagle Clan. Although the Eagle Clan should be considered the biggest enemy at present, it does not directly border our territory."
"The last one should be some kind of creature that can live in water. There is no ground to the east of our village but a sea of water. When I detected it, I found some life fluctuations, but because I didn't see it specifically, I couldn't be sure. Is it an alien race, or a creature that exists in the sea itself!”
Li Qing explained.
"seawater?"
"So, is my location on an island?"
Shang Yan was a little surprised.
"Maybe it's a corner of a certain continent, and our stronghold happens to be in an area near the sea!"
Qin Yueyu proposed another possibility.
Outside the entire Erlong Mountain, looking over from the mountain, there are foggy areas in many places, and even beyond a certain distance, it is completely white.
Just like the legendary "fog of war" that blocks the field of vision, it is difficult to determine what is around Erlong Village.
"Wu Qiao, is there a sea around your stronghold?"
Su Nong asked about Wu Qiao, a former "internal beta player" who had passed the trial.
"No."
"However, there is a lake in front of us, and there is an amphibious alien race in the middle that is difficult to deal with. Our stronghold was destroyed by them!"
Wu Qiao shook his head, his expression even slightly ugly.
Compared to races that live on land, races that can fly and swim may indeed have a harder time dealing with it.
"Let's not consider this issue for now. We are really on an island, and there is a possibility of 'changing the map' like at the end of the trial."
"Now, everyone, let's decide. Which alien race should we choose first as the target of attack?"
Ji Ye spoke at this time and brought the topic to the end.
"Fight the metal clan!"
"The area that is all metal is even more important to us than a pile of extraordinary resources."
"In particular, I suspect that the other party is able to manipulate metal, probably because of the terrain, and thus has mastered some kind of 'maglevitation' technology."
Jiao Lao's voice was very loud and his eyes were bright.
The amount of cold iron in the village is limited, and even if there are metal ores in other locations, they are not so easy to mine and refine.
A stronghold made entirely of metal would be equivalent to resource materials everywhere.
With these things, combined with the transformation of the mortal-level civilization stones that fall out after killing the opponent's players, aircraft, tanks, ships... the technical difficulty is at least half achieved!
"I think we should start with 'mud monsters'. After all, we already know them very well."
"And after these days of contact, it is obvious that their level of civilization is not high. Generally speaking, it is only equivalent to the level of primitive people who have learned to use some simple tools!"
Mr. Meng shook his head.
"If there are really a lot of transformations among the metal people, and if they are highly civilized, we may suffer a lot of losses. I think the mud monsters will start first!"
"No, judging from the fact that they are still only level one strongholds, it means that they cannot be too strong, otherwise they cannot be promoted to level two. And since there are a large number of existences at the metamorphosis level, once they are captured, we can also Obtain a large amount of transformation-level combat power, and your strength will be greatly improved!"
"Why don't you consider 'forest monsters'? Their forest terrain should be more suitable for us to fight."
Then, everyone present also expressed their opinions.
"Oil monster, the main thing is stability."
"However, we can also separate some people to test the attack methods of the other two tribes first."
In the end, it was Ji Ye who made the decision.
The rewards from defeating "Metal Man" are likely to be greater, but the difficulty is likely to be high as well.
The "Mud Monster" itself has lost twenty people, and the remaining number may be less than half of the "reinforcements" of the Erlong Village. The victory is almost certain.
However, the fog in Soul Valley is indeed a relatively big problem.
"I have an idea, maybe you can try it!"
"Leader Wu, Li Qing, let's go down the cliff together first. Today, we are going to explore the situation of the mud monster stronghold."
Ji Ye thought for a while, looked at Wu Song and Li Qing and said.
When we first attacked the Soul Clan's stronghold, we didn't have to worry about the opponent's defense because the opponent came out in full force.
But even then, a third-level "Blood Soul Vine Tree" would still appear.
As for creatures like mud monsters, it is obvious from their life forms that their defensive capabilities are stronger than their offensive capabilities. Therefore, before launching a large-scale attack, you must first understand the defensive layout of the core of the opponent's stronghold.
