After reading the information, Lear couldn't calm down for a long time.
Then he made a quick decision and left for the underground tomorrow.
Although there are still 10 days until the Iron City auction, there is a lot to do this time.
These 10 days may not be enough.
The next morning, Lear got up, washed briefly, and immediately summoned the army.
Directly bring two brigades of cold-blooded cavalry and night hunters.
Because the situation changed too quickly, Lear summoned the Shadow of the Mist, which was originally planned to stay in the plane of the undead to develop.
This level 17 special unit has a strategic role and he uses it very smoothly.
As for the Flesh Slaughterer, he is not worried and will just let it develop in the plane of the undead.
As he gained deeper control over the power of authority, the power he had left behind on the Flesh Slayer began to shine like stars in his eyes.
As long as he is willing, he can immediately summon this level 18 divine being from the plane of the undead as a helping hand.
However, if the distance is too far, this operation may directly cause serious damage to its soul, or even death directly.
This restriction is also the reason why Lear only anchors the Flesh Slayer. The opponent can be resurrected, but ordinary heroes do not have this ability.
Whenever you need to use the opponent, just take action directly.
In addition, he also brought 7 big demons promoted to level 16, a two-headed ogre chief at level 17, and a mechanical flying dragon at level 16.
As a result, all the formations from the last expedition have been assembled.
But after a little thought, Lear decided to also bring the Scarlet Queen, plus 15 squadrons of Rhinoceros warriors.
At the same time, there are 500 cavemen and 30 bubble beasts.
The territory is expanding rapidly, the blacksmith shop is operating at high intensity every day, and the fuel originally stored has reached the bottom.
The magma charcoal at the exit of the underground passage is a 3-star fuel, no less valuable than gold.
There was no time before, but if we don't mine now, we will have no chance when the underground world collapses.
Under Lear's will, the army quickly gathered, and various military supplies were also moved from the warehouse.
After everything was prepared, Lear did not hesitate and led the army directly to leave the swamp.
In the City of Dew, there are 5 squadrons of cold-blooded cavalry, two squadrons of night elves, 3 squadrons of dark naga, plus level 15 Naga kings and goblin ancient gods staying behind.
In addition, 7 squadrons of ancient tree guardians are taking root on the city wall.
There are also Tomb Guards who can return from the plane of the undead to provide support at any time.
No matter what happens, six brigades of two-headed ogres who are working hard in the territory can be pulled out to serve as warriors.
The superficial strength alone is enough to resist the invasion of most enemies.
Not to mention the hidden power - in the city of Weilu covered with vines, the vine fairy who has been promoted to 4 stars is the most terrifying combat power.
They can directly control and connect the entire city. This kind of power is not inferior to level 19 lives.
Those fist-sized little guys are the hidden bosses of Weilu City.
But that's not all, Lear left a unique power to Bain. If he encounters an invincible situation, he can directly sense it after Bain activates it.
At that time, he will mobilize the power of the swamp, tear apart the space, and return to the swamp.
This is the biggest trump card.
As long as he is in the swamp, everyone is a lamb to be slaughtered.
How can mortals spy on the methods of gods?
Due to the presence of the rhino men, the marching speed was not very fast, but the soldiers had very strong endurance and could march with high intensity for four to five hours without changing their expressions.
By noon, the army arrived at the underground passage.
Looking at the entrance, vines have woven into a small fortress.
This was built by Lear by the Vine Fairy after repelling the Song Clan coalition last time.
Just in time to use it now.
While thinking, Lear waved his hand to the swarm to guard the entrance to prevent any accidents and someone cutting off their retreat.
The swarm of bees forms a terrifying tide, which can make one’s scalp numb when seen from a distance.
Even a life without eyes would not be affected by this problem.
After making arrangements, he led the army into the underground passage.
There was an experience, and Lear was much calmer this time.
Send 7 big demons to explore the road first and eliminate the threats ahead.
This underground passage extends down for hundreds of miles, is winding and rugged, and is not that safe.
But in front of the ferocious demon, the monsters in the passage are no different from weak lambs.
Killed hundreds of monsters directly.
The army did not stop for this.
On the night of the 20th, the army finally walked out of the underground passage for the second time.
Last time, he encountered a bat craze at the exit, and the terrifying number left Lear still fresh in his memory.
Stepping into the underground world again, the feeling becomes completely different.
The army in hand is more fierce this time, and the combat effectiveness of high-level heroes is also different.
At the same time, his control over authority also made him more calm.
No matter what enemy you encounter, you can deal with it calmly.
This high-level map can no longer move him.
Seeing the dim environment underground again, Lear took a deep breath.
I subconsciously looked up, and when I saw the scenery in front of me clearly, I frowned.
Two or three thousand meters above the ground, it exudes a faint gleam of light and supports the sky rock wall of the underground world.
Exaggerated cracks appeared at this moment.
From time to time, you can see large pieces of gravel falling out of the cracks, falling straight to the ground and smashing into the vegetation below.
At the same time, at the end of the line of sight, large cracks appeared in several underground mountains that connected to the sky and the earth.
It looks like it is about to collapse.
Give people invisible pressure.
No wonder the underground life is so crazy. The collapse of the underground world has been completely put on the surface.
Even if ordinary people don't know the will of the gods, they will still feel panic when they see this scene.
The current movement is probably relatively small.
As the rift intensifies, those underground beings who are somewhat lucky in their hearts will fall completely into despair.
At that time, it will be the most chaotic moment in the wilderness.
Lear took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and immediately came to the place where he last discovered magma and carbon.
I had Bubblemon bury this area with soil before. Now I can see that although there are many footprints on it, the mud is still intact.
Wave your hand and let the caveman open it.
These natural cave creatures have been equipped with professional excavation and mining equipment through the blacksmith shop.
The efficiency of digging with bare hands has more than doubled compared to before.
Everyone was like a dog digging a hole, moving very fast, and soon a big hole was dug out of the ground.
After a brief exploration, the leader of the 500 cavemen divided his companions into five hundred-man teams and began to dig separately.
Lear doesn’t get involved either, leaving professional matters to professionals.
The life in these caves was immediately in full swing.
The dirt and rocks on the ground were cleared away at an exaggerated speed.
It didn’t take long to dig out magmatic carbon.
Watching large areas of magma and coal being mined, Lear felt even more relaxed.
This is 3-star level fuel, containing tremendous energy.
After being lit, it can also attract magic power to strengthen the fire. It is a real strategic material.
At this stage, it makes people feel happy to get such a mine.
Long-term underground life has allowed cavemen to form their own mining system. The whole process went smoothly, and Lear felt it was very pleasing to the eye.
However, the problem was soon discovered. They still needed to be transported up to mine, which consumed a lot of energy and prevented their speed from being fully utilized.
While thinking, he directly ordered the Bubble Beast to use bubbles to collect the mined magma and carbon.
When a certain amount is filled, it goes up and is gathered together for later processing.
As a result, the mining efficiency can not help but increase greatly.
Lear's mood improved as he watched pieces of 3-star fuel come into his account.
There was no rush to leave for Molten Iron City. After sending night hunters to guard the surrounding areas, Rhinoceros and Cold-blooded Cavalry also participated in the mining.
The army is naturally not as professional in mining as the cavemen, but it has a high level and sufficient strength. It can defeat ten skills with one force, and uses its own characteristics to make up for the shortcomings of technology.
No one complained at all, and thousands of people began to dig into the earth frantically.
The scene looks very exciting.
Soon, the magma and charcoal on the ground piled up into a hill.
Seeing this, Lear immediately asked the Bubble Beast to load it with bubbles and transport it back to his territory.
In order to speed up, let the big devil escort you directly.
In this way, the 200-kilometer journey can be reached in two hours, and the round trip only takes four hours.
Back from the second trip, the number of bubble beasts increased directly to 60, and the little ones hatched before were also brought over.
In this way, 30 Bubble Beasts can be left for mining each time, and the other 30 will be sent back for delivery.
Under such high-intensity mining, the efficiency is amazing.
But even so, it took three whole days to dig, and it was not until the evening of the 23rd that the mining was completed.
Thousands of people, together with the cooperation of Bubble Beast, worked day and night to dig large pits in the ground.
The deepest point reaches 50 meters!
Finally, the bubble beast carried back a total of 60,000 bubbles full of magma and carbon.
Each bubble can be up to 4 meters in diameter.
It’s full of magma and coal.
This data is quite exaggerated.
According to the estimates of the blacksmith shop, even if it is a high-strength cast armor, this batch of fuel can last for two to three years!
This made Lear feel quite happy.
Great chaos is coming. The richer the territory’s material reserves, the more confident it will be.
The underground world is just beginning now, and the real collapse has not yet come.
After the collapse, it will not just calm down, but will become more and more turbulent. What caused all this to happen is the evil being that even the Creator God cannot kill!
No one can tell what kind of ripples this kind of terrifying existence will cause if it escapes from the seal.
After taking this mine that had been discovered long ago, Lear did not hesitate and asked the Rhinoceros to escort part of the army back to the territory.
He is going to travel lightly this time.
The Molten Iron City we went to this time is a city of gray dwarves. These evil races are not friendly to life on the surface.
Carrying too many troops would be detrimental to maneuverability.
After thinking about it, I planned to bring only a few high-level heroes this time.
The Great Demon, the Mechanical Flying Dragon, and the Two-Headed Ogre Chief.
However, just in case, the Shadow of Mist received 1,000 cold-blooded cavalry and 1,000 night hunters into its shadow cage.
After the upgrade, the number of people that this fierce life's shadow cage can imprison has reached 3 brigades.
Enough to accommodate these armies.
The strategic significance of Shadow of Mist is highlighted here.
The first time I came to the underground world, the army captured a gray dwarf nearby.
At that time, Lear brought the other party back to the City of Dew, and he is still working for him in the blacksmith shop.
The guy revealed all the information about the underworld.
From the information he told, the city hall drew a rough map that could roughly determine the direction of Molten Iron City.
This is enough to identify the direction.
After the leader of the Rhinoceros returned with his army, Lear did not hesitate and flew directly into the sky.
Go straight underground.
Seven big demons flapped their wings and followed around.
The two-headed ogre chief and the mechanical flying dragon were also put into the shadow cage by Lear because of their excessive size and majesty.
In this way, the presence of their group has been greatly reduced.
For safety reasons, he covered his aura, and the shadow of the mist emitted a faint black mist, covering most of his figure.
Outsiders can only see a vague face and cannot see clearly.
It takes about three days to walk from the underground passage exit to Molten Iron City.
The actual distance is about 200 kilometers, not too far or too close.
Lear flew directly across the sky, heading towards his goal.
There is still a week left before the Dark Auction, but arriving a few days early can allow you to explore more information.
Details about the Dark Auction are top priority, especially the main target this time - the hidden Lizard Demigod Eyes that can promote the cold-blooded cavalry to a 4-star unit.
Flying in the dim and hazy underground world, the scenery on the surface quickly swept back.
In the dim environment, the vegetation grows in strange and twisted shapes.
There is no vitality like the sun-facing plants on the ground. Instead, there is a dark wind that makes people feel frightened.
The branches and leaves are mostly distorted and irregular, like dry palms wantonly and arrogantly.
The colors are all taupe or tan or even black, which looks like a large gray patch without any bright colors.
There is an inexplicable feeling of depression floating in my heart.
If you survive in this environment for a long time, even if there are no enemies, you will probably become psychologically distorted.
As you pass by the sky, you can sense the presence of life in the vegetation on the ground from time to time.
Some are intelligent races, such as cavemen, underground gnomes, and dark goblins
But many more are ferocious beasts.
The giant rat with fangs, the tiger covered with thorns and barbs, the venomous snake with seven or eight heads are weird and twisted, and there is no trace of the beauty that normal creatures should have.
Lear asked the big devil to capture a few underground dwarves and ask them about it, and determined the direction of Molten Iron City.
As for other information, those dwarfs were completely blank. They were not even sure where to run if the sky collapsed.
Lear could only shake his head at this and did not waste time on it.
Speed up your travel speed.
The closer you get to Molten Iron City, the more creatures there are around you, and their levels are relatively high.
We even saw a few tribes from the underground world on the way, but most of them were deserted.
It can be clearly felt that everyone is heading towards Molten Iron City.
Finally, after flying for more than two hours, Lear's eyes lit up.
At the end of the line of sight ahead, an extremely magnificent underground city appeared.
It is carved into the mountain, huge and majestic.
The top of the city leads directly to the dome rock wall that supports the entire underground world.
Outside, a hundred-meter-high city wall stretches across the ground like a ravine.
A series of ferocious and distinctive heavy city defense weapons stand on the city wall.
Even the high mountains at the rear that connect to the sky are filled with weapons to defend the city.
At first glance, it looks like a super huge hedgehog.
Anyone who attacks will have their teeth shattered.
On the outskirts of the city, ant-like black spots can be seen, constantly gathering into the city.
It seems prosperous and lively.
Is this Molten Iron City?
Lear immediately became energetic. (End of chapter)
