Chapter 1344 The Battle of Black Rock City Is over, Rewards Are Given According to Merit!
Boom!
Boom!
The successive rockets were like moths to a flame, continuously bombarding the defense light curtain of Black Stone City.
There were more and more cracks, and many places were on the verge of breaking.
The explosions in the city continued.
Although not as scary as the first few explosions, the frequency increased too much.
Basically, more than ten explosions were heard in one minute, all over the residential area.
"Where is the support, where is our support?!"
Crespo ran out of a small alley in the residential area in the sea of fire, his face covered with blood.
Fortunately, after the big drop in temperature, the rooms in the city lord's mansion were too cold, and everyone moved down to live.
Otherwise, they would be sent to the sky by the damn bomb when the first explosion occurred.
"They set up an ambush... All three tribes have received news of being ambushed." Archon Nanni replied immediately.
"What, ambush!" Crespo was stunned: "Who is it, who is coming?"
"It's Tianyuan, the human Soma."
Tianyuan?
Crespo's expression choked, and he swallowed hard, and his furious look just now disappeared in an instant.
"Are you sure that it was the human Soma who brought the army to attack?"
"Not sure... because we haven't found the human Soma yet, we only saw the mark representing Tianyuan." Nanni's mind was a little confused, and he could only mechanically answer Crespo's question.
About a year ago, when he was still in the Black Stone Camp, his mind was also so confused.
Since then, he has had countless similar nightmares for such a long time.
Now the nightmare is reflected in reality, and for a moment he can't tell whether it is reality or a dream.
"Then why don't you run away quickly? Do you have to wait until the human Soma comes in person?"
Crespo breathed a sigh of relief.
The killing god finally chose revenge, which was within the dwarf's expectations.
However, many people didn't expect to target Black Stone City.
After all, the last time the legion was sent to attack the Tianyuan territory, Black Stone City did not participate, and the dwarf royal family made and executed the plan.
Now it seems that this killing god is unreasonable at all.
The saying of humans that every debt has its creditor and every grievance has its perpetrator cannot be applied to this guy at all.
"But... there are still many dwarves in the city..."
Nanny opened his mouth and raised his hand tremblingly to point at the dwarves fleeing in the sea of fire.
Although the fate of these dwarves may not be much different whether they are there or not.
But with the reputation of deserting the battlefield, what can he do even if he escapes?
"Fool, that's human Soma, not other races, other people!"
"Remember the human saying, if you keep the green mountains, you won't worry about firewood. Tianyuan should have taken revenge on the royal family. Now it's our turn on Black Stone City. No one will blame us, and no one will think there is any problem with us running away. Besides, do you think it's easy to escape now?"
"Those who don't want to leave can stay. Those who want to live can follow me. If you stay any longer, you will all die!"
"I won't interfere with your choice. This is your freedom... Think about it, who will remember a dead dwarf?"
Crespo's passionate speech almost made him believe it.
In fact, as a city lord, running away at the first moment of the battle, it is almost a capital crime.
Even if he is a noble, there will be no possibility of forgiveness.
But the reason why he dared to make this decision now is because Crespo believes that any noble who comes to his current position and hears the words human Soma and Tianyuan will never have a second choice.
Running away is the best choice.
Soon, almost all the managers, including Archon Nanni and Law Enforcement Team Captain Quinn, joined the escape team. Only some dwarves whose families were still in Blackstone City stayed behind.
Crespo immediately expressed his respect for these people's decision, which was just right to help them escape and share some of the enemy's attention.
...
The war raged in Blackstone City, and the sound of fierce exchanges of fire echoed in the night sky, from dusk to dawn.
The firelight under the night sky reflected the dwarf corpses all over the ground.
The cold wind blew, mixed with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder, ruthlessly attacking everyone's sense of smell.
As the Blackstone City's once-believed indestructible defense light curtain was breached, the dwarves in the city fell into an unprecedented predicament, even more desperate than when the Blackstone camp was attacked.
After all, compared with a year ago, the current Tianyuan is more than ten times stronger, and it is simply a one-sided crushing.
However, although the large army has set up ambushes in all directions of Blackstone City, the dwarves have already quietly built a complex railway network underground.
Like rat roads.
These railway passages are not only hidden, but also extend in all directions, connecting every corner of the city.
Unless all these passages are blown up from the ground, it is difficult to chase and kill underground.
Including the group of people led by the city lord Crespo, they also escaped from these rat roads.
"It doesn't matter if we didn't catch them. So many dwarves have escaped. It's hard for us to hide the news from Blackstone City."
The news from the front line came back, and Su Mo replied while eating breakfast.
Sure enough, preparing multiple plans for the dwarves is completely a self-entertainment behavior.
The huge Black Stone City was handed over without organizing a decent defense.
The three major gathering places tribes that came to help were ambushed as soon as they went out, and all of them suffered heavy casualties.
"If there were not too few people, we should have made more efforts last night." Su Mo put down his chopsticks with a smile and opened the system panel to check the war points.
A very exaggerated number.
In just one day, the points on the panel broke through six digits.
117500!
Even if there are ten consecutive draws with one thousand points, you can draw 117 times.
Don't be too exaggerated.
Moreover, the time-limited task for the dwarves is on the verge of completion. As long as you find a way to get rid of another dwarf gathering place, you can get rewards for random buildings and version progress.
Of course, even if you can't complete the task, this trip is definitely worth it.
After breakfast, Su Mo flew to the front line in an airship as soon as possible.
The light of the morning sun sprinkled on the metal cover of the airship, flashing with golden brilliance, as if to crown this journey.
Yesterday he did not personally go to the front line to supervise the battle, the reason is very simple.
First, to prevent seeing unexpected situations, he could not help but take action, causing the Tianyuan Army to become overly dependent on his power, thus losing the courage and wisdom to fight independently.
Su Mo hopes that the army can be independent, rather than relying on his personal strength.
Second, Su Mo himself also realized that if he sat on the front line, then whether it was Feng Tianmin or Su Deben, when making key tactical decisions, they would inevitably be affected by him, and they might even be hesitant because of his presence and over-consider his opinions.
This is not a good habit. At least in the future, the territory will be bigger and bigger, and he can't go to every battlefield in person.
Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate an army that can stand on its own as soon as possible, so as to lay the foundation for the territory's subsequent military development.
After arriving at the front line, the first thing Su Mo did was to check the battle report and reward according to merit.
There were 13,715 Tianyuan troops and mobilized soldiers who participated in the battle last night.
Although the dwarves failed to organize a large-scale effective defense, the local counterattack still caused some trouble.
In particular, the support from the three external gathering places had a fierce exchange of fire with the mobilized soldiers.
After the war, the number of casualties was still inevitable.
"Seventy-six people were killed, and the bones must be collected and brought back to the territory for burial in the ceremonial hall."
"Three hundred and seventy people were seriously injured. Arrange cargo ships as soon as possible to send these people back to the territory for treatment."
"Nine hundred and forty-five people were slightly injured... If they are mobilized soldiers, arrange them to logistics, if they are Tianyuan troops, continue to fight after treatment!"
As the number of people in the territory exceeded 100,000, and when he saw the casualties of dozens of people, Su Mo could finally ensure that his emotions would not be affected too much.
The dead are gone, and those who survived should cherish their current lives.
At the same time, in order to commend everyone's heroic performance last night, Su Mo decided to give extra rewards.
"Each mobilized soldier, according to the division of labor and responsibilities, will receive 100 copper coins for the front line, 60 copper coins for logistics, and 50 points for contribution."
"Each Tianyuan Army soldier will receive 120 copper coins, and 100 points for contribution."
This money and contribution are additional rewards in addition to the guaranteed 500 copper coins.
After the message was passed down, cheers rose one after another in the camp outside Black Stone City, diluting the fatigue of fighting all night.
Afterwards, Su Mo called the two main generals of this battle, Feng Long and Lie Hu.
The former personally led his men to the first climb last night and captured the wall of Black Stone City that had resisted for a long time, destroying all the resistance of the dwarves in one fell swoop.
The latter wreaked havoc in the city, not only detonating all the energy stone bombs, but also burning the storage area to cut off all the hope of the dwarves.
It can be said that the two of them contributed greatly to the victory of this battle.
"Lord!" Feng Long's eyes were red, but he was in good spirits.
Liehu looked a little tired because of his age and fighting all night.
However, both of them could not hide their joy, with smiles on their lips.
"You two are great contributors in this battle. I was right!" Su Mo raised his head and looked at the two of them.
"One of you is charging outside, and the other is destroying inside. The dwarves must hate you to death."
"Hehe, I was also too crazy last night. When I thought of the brothers who died in the dwarfs' sneak attack, I wanted to kill them all!" After charging around, Feng Long's murderous aura had dissipated a lot, but now he still spoke with murderous aura.
"I... I didn't do anything. These dwarves are actually not as powerful as wanderers." It was not too difficult, and Liehu was not willing to take credit.
The ability to place the bomb so easily mainly relied on the storage module.
As for the subsequent destruction in the city, it was basically done by Tuoba Chi and Pingchen.
He just found the storage area and set it on fire.
Compared with the previous battles with the mole men in the cities surrounding Qinggang City, the difficulty is simply a world of difference.
"You are all so modest, but if I don't give you rewards, what will the people below think?" Su Mo stood up and paced the ground twice.
"Feng Long, after this battle, I will promote you to the commander of the Tianyuan Army. I will allow you to expand your army to 4,000 people, and I will allow you to form an armored battalion to focus on assault battles."
"Thank you, Lord!" Hearing this, Feng Long's eyes narrowed with smiles, and his head was buzzing.
He now has at most 2,000 people under his command, and this time it has doubled.
And he can control an armored battalion, which is almost reaching the point of independent combat.
In the modern military system, this speed of improvement is not an exaggeration to say that it is like riding a rocket.
"Hunting Tiger... I promised you before, and I can pay you some now."
Arranged Feng Long to leave first, Su Mo pretended to touch Hu's arm, and then took out a bottle of liquid in a black-green glass bottle and handed it to him.
"Drink it, and then go over there and lie on the ground."
"This..." Hu hesitated, shook the glass bottle, and looked at the turbid liquid with some fear.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had used this method to send eternal sleep to the previous manager.
Now the situation has changed, and the person who should drink it has become him.
"What? Scared?" Su Mo smiled.
"What am I afraid of? I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of this? I'm just wondering what this thing tastes like." Liehu suddenly sneered, and used his thick fingers to pull open the bottle cork, and gulped it all down.
Looking at his fearless expression, I thought he was drinking poison.
Until there was no more liquid in the bottle, he pursed his lips and plugged the glass bottle again.
Not to mention, it tasted really good.
It was a bit like spinach squeezed into juice, mixed with some pepper.
"Go lie there now."
Su Mo pointed to the empty side of the tent, and took the opportunity when Liehu turned around to open the system panel.
According to the potential ranking, Liehu is still in the first place.
[Name: Parada
Position: Expeditionary Front Scout Captain
Template: Low-blood mutant (level: 14; cannot be advanced)
Attributes: physique 12/bone strength 15/brain 6/talent 10/health 3
Potential: 82 (superb combat talent, insight and strategic thinking far beyond ordinary people, and excellent psychological quality)
Number of enhancements: 8 (1 enhancement opportunity for every 10 potential points)
Characteristic status:
Low-blood mutant (gray), brute strength (white), brute wisdom (white), bloodline limit (blue), son of war (gold):
]
Compared to the previous check, the attributes of the hunting tiger have changed again.
Affected by the characteristics of the son of war, some attributes were retained after the battle last night, and bone strength increased from 14 points to 15 points.
This improvement speed is simply abnormal.
However, correspondingly, his shortened life span has also soared from the previous 19 years, 7 months and 11 days to 20 years, 1 month and 2 days.
In one battle, he lost half a year of his lifespan, and his health value was on the verge of dropping to 2 points.
"Fortunately, the potential value has not changed, and it can be strengthened eight times..."
With a huge sum of money in hand, Su Mo's mentality has become much calmer.
Even if the upgrade is not delivered directly, he can get the characteristic state through the lottery later and install it on the hunting tiger, thus making up for the defects of the golden characteristic state.
