Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 221: Sky Island

The iron pick fell, smashing the rock layer near the steel tip of the ore, and peeling off several stone chips with faint purple lines.

They slid down from the stone surface and fell to the ground with gravity, but floated on the ground several centimeters above the ground like dust. It was like a piece of foam thrown into the water, floating for a moment, and finally suspended on the invisible water surface in a stable balance.

Lifted up, fell heavily.

Another piece of floating stone ore was stripped from the vein.

The collection of shallow veins does not require too much effort, a person who can swing a pickaxe, and a sharp iron pickaxe.

Micro, small, and medium floating stone veins do not need to be dug down too much, breaking the rock layer and mudstone to create a mine tunnel, and mining can be completed only on the surface.

For Ji Lin, he can protect a mining site from being attacked with a very low number of personnel. Four spearmen and a gun sentry tower can resist the attacking local wild animal groups with very low damage.

His four spearmen can complete the defense task, while others need to pay twice or even three times the number of crossbowmen, archers and gun shooters to maintain the regional defense task.

And melee infantry has little effect in the face of deadly enemy attacks from the air.

In the first month after he entered the floating island, after January 1st, the number of people in the fourth era skyrocketed by ten times, from less than ten thousand to more than ten thousand. Although compared with the extremely large base of lords, this number of ten thousand seems so small, their goals all fall on the competition for rare resources.

The worlds rich in common resources and containing rare resources are their key targets. In this regard, all the targets are surprisingly consistent.

How can a world that needs to be cultivated and invested in construction be compared with a land that already flows with gold.

Several lord expeditions have arrived in this sky island world one after another, occupying their own small sky islands. The system never prompts them whether there are other people entering this world... It will not even throw the latecomers into the camp that has been built.

It's very simple, don't send any mining protection team, let the miners mine floating stones without any safety measures.

The dead miners are directly recovered by recall, and then re-invested in the mining process.

This cycle is endless.

As long as I don't send guards, there will be no additional personnel losses.

Two thousand recall quotas can maintain the consumption of such miners. When soldiers and miners die, their equipment will remain in place. Local hostile animals will not deliberately destroy the extremely solid iron lumps such as pickaxes. They do not understand the concept of tools very well.

As for the psychological problems of miners, they are no longer a problem they need to worry about.

A group of miners died, recalled, and re-dispatched.

Although the work efficiency is affected, it also greatly reduces the labor cost of this floating stone mine.

The meals of miners are given according to the number of floating stones collected every day, and this forced means is used to squeeze the work efficiency of miners.

"Long spearmen, forward!"

The infantry holding long spears and without any armor advance forward, using the drooping spear tips in their hands to resist the attacking monsters.

The same is true for soldiers. All vulnerable melee soldiers are consumables. Remove all their armor and only provide them with long spears to stand on the front line. Let the long-range infantry and siege equipment behind do their best to output.

Until the injury is close to the upper limit, the lord will wait for the recall permission to reset before sending the soldiers to die.

Within the upper limit of their allowed recall, each soldier exists as a consumable.

Relying on this battle mode of constantly piling up, the newly arrived lord took the first micro-mine on the island with difficulty after 300 battles.

Just as he turned his attention to the only small mine on the island, he was delighted to find that the small mine was only stationed with more forest spiders than the micro mine.

Without any hesitation, he ordered his infantry to form a dense formation and press forward. This was a battle formation to fight against the forest spiders. The dense infantry gun formation can block the target's space for dodging and maneuvering, and the shoulder-to-shoulder soldiers will not be attacked from behind.

Then the tentative attack on the small mine directly caused him to lose all the melee infantry and one hundred ranged infantry, as well as four siege engines that were not transferred in time.

How to deal with that kind of monster? The spearmen's spears are completely unable to restrict the movement of the three-meter-high rock creature. A slight deflection of its body can directly break the solid wood and steel spears. The shooting of crossbowmen and archers cannot even penetrate its outermost rock armor.

Only siege weapons, two cast iron cannons and six heavy crossbows can destroy its outer rock armor from a distance, breaking off pieces of rock from it - and then watching the armor reappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the spellcaster troops he cultivated with great difficulty, the ball and lightning spells they used can barely cause weak damage to it. When dealing with enemy infantry, these spellcasters are effective in dense formations, and a few spells can easily disintegrate the dense and neat formations.

But no matter what spells these spellcasters use now, they can't stop it from approaching at a very fast speed.

Fight, can't beat, run, can't run.

It was impossible to stop its pace. Every time it swept through the formation, it could take the lives of more than 100 soldiers. The plants on its body were tilting deadly needles at the approaching unarmored soldiers. There were also flashes of light repairing the broken rock layers on its body, re-forming one piece of protective plate after another.

The newly arrived lord uttered the word "retreat" with difficulty, which was beyond his ability to handle.

One attack resulted in hundreds of losses, and hundreds of equipment and siege weapons that should not be consumed in the plan were damaged.

How to deal with this kind of thing.

There was no strategy.

No strategy appeared. When it came to their own interests, the pioneers were quite calm.

The animal groups in different worlds were very different, and the hostile animal groups that needed to be confronted were also different. The only lords who need to use your strategy are those in similar worlds, and the hostile species in those worlds are also similar.

If you are unlucky, the one who reads your strategy is in the fragment of your target world.

If you write down the strategy, they may keep up with your development and become your strong enemy in the competition for resources.

As for the popularity of the battle mode of a certain world fragment, there may even be a large-scale diversion phenomenon, that is, lords who have read a lot of strategies will be more inclined to choose these worlds that they are more familiar with in the forum strategy to invest resources and expeditions - then the lords who originally chose these worlds for development will be very uncomfortable.

Resources, space, and places under the sun are always limited.

None of the lords who can reach this world and find the corresponding plan are fools. In this case, they only have one option left.

They choose to remain silent coldly.

On another distant sky island, the giant skeletons and skeleton soldiers were being crushed into powder by the heavy punches of the Ji Su눃ming. The Lin Yan Ji Su spirits were helpless against the Lin Yan Ji Su who were guarded by the Ji Su spirits. The tree demons fought side by side with the Zhisuming, releasing their own Zhisuming spells.

On another sky island, the elf sentinels who wanted to use their flexibility to bypass the Lin Yan 智素 were blocked by the common vines and died under the heavy punches of the 志素눃明. The delicate and exquisite armor could not withstand even a single blow under the heavy punches of the 志素눃明.

The back-row shooters who wanted to output steadily were chopped into pieces by the floating rays that descended from the sky.

In a land without flowing gold, risks and benefits always coexist.
