In a war, combat strength and tactical arrangements are only the most direct competition. Overall, solving the military supply problem is the most important.
Simply transporting various resources from the kingdom is not enough.
It can be said that crystals, treasures, etc. are all stored in large quantities in the military camp.
However, issues such as food and drink are mainly solved by the military camp itself.
Winter in the desert has arrived, and winter in the entire kingdom is not far away. The cost of hunting everywhere will increase, and it is impossible to harvest various food and vegetable crops.
With an army of millions, the food consumed every day is measured in tens of thousands of tons. It is obviously unrealistic to simply import and transport it from the kingdom. The cost is too high, and the kingdom's finances cannot afford it.
The solution can only be found in the desert.
The mountainous area where Yumen Pass is located has been severely damaged by the old wars and has long become a barren land. The number of monsters and wild beasts in it is very small.
But deep in the desert, there is a huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, called the "Mobei Mountains". It has unique natural conditions and many monsters, making it a natural hunting ground in the desert.
However, that side is also closer to the Gilded Kingdom’s military camp.
The Yunxiao Kingdom's hunting group basically enters the Mobei Mountains in the tens of thousands to hunt.
On the way, beware of the harassment of "nomadic cavalry" and the attack of the Gilded Kingdom's army.
certainly.
The Gilded Kingdom will probably not send too many troops to the Mobei Mountains to fight against the Yunxiao Kingdom's army. They are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Once too many troops are transferred away, the rear will be empty. In less than half a day, Yunxiao will The kingdom's army will definitely rush towards them and give them a mighty and devastating attack.
Huo Baima lacked actual combat experience, but he was not stupid. After some earnest advice from General Huo Baima, and Wu Sanjun beside him who kept flattering and flattering him, he agreed: "General, don't worry! Baima Yi will definitely guarantee the hunting troops." Safety! With the White Horse Yi Cong here, if the Gilded Kingdom is attacked by an army, there will be no return!"
…
The news that the Yumen Army was about to send a team of 3,000 people to the Mobei Mountains to hunt monsters as military resources, and that the Baima Yicong would act as a guard, soon reached the people of the Baima Yicong.
Everyone took the time to practice and prepare for the upcoming mission.
As the only scout in the entire Baima Yicong, Qi Ying finally has new companions. In addition to Nico, whom he knew before, there are two other experienced old scouts who have participated in previous winter hunts, and a man with ten people. , a scout team composed of old and new scouts was drawn from the barracks.
The scouts of the hunting force and the scouts of Baima Yicong are integrated together.
While Nico was full of confidence in Qiying, he also did not forget to remind him: "Boy, I know you are powerful! However, this mission is more difficult than finding a small-scale enemy army. You must pay attention when the time comes! Not only do we have to Help the team prevent attacks from the Gilded Kingdom’s army, and also look for monsters that are easy to hunt and participate in the hunt.”
"Ni Ge, don't forget that I am the strongest hunter of the Putuomanla tribe. I am not good at anything else. I cannot be more professional than hunting monster beasts! When the time comes, I will be mainly responsible for finding monster beasts."
Qi Ying smiled and took the initiative to take over what the other scouts thought was the most difficult job.
"I'm optimistic about you!"
Nico gave a thumbs up.
…
Qi Ying took a routine shift and slid his shield into the snow-covered desert. He stopped on a snow hill, looked into the distance, and sighed: "It's so snowy!"
Tianhe County is located in the south of the kingdom, and it rarely snows. Occasionally, it is only a shallow layer. The snow melts when it falls on the ground, mixed with soil and turns into mud. It was the first time Qi Ying saw such heavy snow, and in the desert, the scene was generous and desolate, and her heart was particularly complicated.
At this time last year, I was still a simple young man in an unknown mountain.
In just one year, things have happened, with ups and downs, and it feels like a dream when I think about it.
During the day, Qi Ying slid his shield across the vast snowfield to conduct reconnaissance operations. At night, he found a place on the leeward side of a small sand dune, set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and roasted some monster meat to eat. Liu Geer went to guard the surroundings and began to practice.
After all the calculations, it has been a month since Qi Ying broke through to the Lingwu Realm. During this period, Qi Ying has basically not interrupted her practice of martial arts, and has taken a lot of pills. She has almost entered the late stage of the first level of the Lingwu Realm, and will arrive soon. The peak of the first level of the Lingwu Realm can break through to the second level of the Lingwu Realm.
"Look how you two are doing."
After practicing for a while, Qi Ying summoned the two martial spirits with a thought.
"hiss!"
"Meow!"
The little purple snake still grew faster than the gray-white kitten. Qi Ying roughly judged that it was very close to the level of a first-grade martial spirit. After testing it, sure enough, the power of the purple electric light ball it spit out was already higher than that of the first-grade martial spirit. The light ball formed by Ying's own spiritual power was stronger.
but.
It still seems to be of no use!
Because warriors practice martial arts and release attacks that are far more powerful than attacks simply condensed with spiritual power.
The ability of the purple electric snake is not as good as Tian Shou's blood moon wolf martial spirit.
"Hey, it's a bit of an improvement. Not bad. During the battle, you can also sneak attack and disturb the opponent, so it won't be useless at all."
As for the kitten.
"Meow!"
It opened its mouth and took a deep breath. The wind stirred up a piece of snow on the ground, and then spit out another breath. It looked a bit similar to the "Spitting Technique", but it was countless times weaker, even more powerful than a punch of its own. The punching style created is a bit weaker.
"Returning the divine martial spirit... is even more useless..."
Qi Ying was also helpless.
but.
While Qi Ying was practicing, he discovered that his left hand seemed a little different from before.
Taking off the thick black leather gloves, I saw that the left arm, which was originally as dry as a mummy's arm, had become plump at some point. Although it was still thin compared to the right arm, it at least looked like a normal person's arm.
Could it be related to the fact that he has provided a lot of energy to it over time
"Um… "
Qi Ying suddenly had a bold idea.
The left hand usually devours its own true energy and spiritual power, as well as the power to devour the objects it comes into contact with when it falls into collapse, all of which are passive devouring.
Now, if I actively send my spiritual power into my left hand, will it intensify the changes in my left hand
Just give it a try, Qi Ying began to quickly send the spiritual power in his body into his left hand. At the beginning, as usual, his left hand continued to swallow the spiritual power in a fixed proportion. However, what is unexpected is that when the speed of transmitting spiritual power exceeds twice the normal speed of spiritual power passing through the left hand, the speed of the left hand devouring spiritual power is also fixed, and the extra spiritual power does not accumulate in the left hand. Instead, unexpected changes occurred.
