33: Level 3 Mecha Workshop

The Mechanical Wolf stubbornly blocked and continuously bit the Monk.

The Spear soldiers swarmed forward, taking down all dozen or so mechanical Wolves.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't save the Monk. After two more rounds of laser fire, the Floating Turret drifted away, returning to the camp through a hidden path in the jungle.

The Monk had fallen to the ground, lying among the scattered parts of the dozen or so mechanical Wolves.

Dead!

"Ah!"

"You evil bandits, I will never rest until you are destroyed! All troops, charge!"

Because of the Monk's death, the Prayer spell disappeared, and the Healing spell was also gone, causing panic among the soldiers on the front line. Chaos erupted everywhere, and their formation was broken.

Morale collapsed!

"Roar!"

Hua Mulan pointed with her spear.

The camp gate opened, and countless mechanical Wolves swarmed out. Coordinating with the Floating Turret behind them, they began to harvest the lives of the officers and soldiers amidst the chaos.

Han Huohuo watched, shaking his head, and couldn't help but sigh, "We Bandits are just too cruel. I can't bear to watch!"

When Liu Qiang heard Han Huohuo's sigh, he quickly moved a little further away from him, mainly afraid that if lightning struck, he would be accidentally injured.

The morale of the officers and soldiers halfway up the mountain completely broke, and they scrambled to run back.

They were chased all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

The Ten Thousand Captain's face turned green. He quickly gathered his troops and temporarily retreated a hundred meters before stabilizing the formation again.

The mechanical Wolves did not pursue.

With a command from Hua Mulan, all the mechanical Wolves retreated back into the camp. The workers inside were already prepared, holding chevaux de frise and rushing out, brushing past the mechanical Wolves.

These workers held up the chevaux de frise, quickly blocking the road in front of the mountain gate again, and then ran back at full speed.

By the time the Ten Thousand Captain had regrouped his troops and charged back.

He saw that the front line, which he had painstakingly pushed forward, was once again covered with chevaux de frise?

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The Ten Thousand Captain sat on his horse, swaying precariously, his face extremely grim.

Han Huohuo covered his face, thinking that Hua Mulan was truly ruthless. Look at how she was bullying the opposing General? It was too much!

After the battle, she must be heavily rewarded!

Unknowingly, one hour and fifty-nine minutes had passed.

The Grand Commandant only gave him two hours!

So, could he capture Black Wind Stronghold within one minute?

He was still thinking about the possibility when a small soldier beside him reminded him, "General, the Grand Commandant told you to take care of two strongholds within two hours, not just capturing this one to complete the mission."

The Ten Thousand Captain was filled with grief and indignation. He chopped off the small soldier's head with a single strike, "Damn it, do you need to remind me? Don't I know?"

"Charge! Destroy Black Wind Stronghold!"

The Ten Thousand Captain had completely lost his mind and actually led the charge.

Since he was going to die anyway, why not die a glorious death.

Hua Mulan smiled coldly.

Facing such an irrational opponent was simply an unfair victory!

"Roar!"

The Floating Turret fired three volleys!

The Ten Thousand Captain, who was charging at the very front, was riddled with holes and fell on the battlefield.

With the General dead, the remaining officers and soldiers immediately lost the will to resist and scattered.

Seeing this battle, Han Huohuo suddenly understood something.

Morale is truly too important. If they were ordinary soldiers, facing the overwhelming army of officers and soldiers, could they still execute tactics so diligently?

But mechanical units are not afraid!

They can perfectly execute all tactical movements with almost no accidents. These are the soldiers every General dreams of!

[You resisted the second wave of officer and soldier attacks, gaining 11,000 points. You are now ranked first in the Ten Thousand Mountains with a total score of 12,300 points.]

The second place was still 1,300 points, indicating that no battle had occurred there just now.

The first ruthless person has appeared.

Han Huohuo directly blocked all attacks for the brother behind him.

Now everyone knew Han Huohuo, and they all sighed, saying that when he killed all the Barbarians, it was definitely not luck, but true strength!

The battle ended, and the mid-game settlement began.

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached level nine. Please choose your new skill.]

There is a new skill option every five levels.

[Intermediate Leadership & Primary Defense]

Han Huohuo unceremoniously chose Intermediate Leadership.

This was the first time he had seen an Intermediate skill.

[Intermediate Leadership]: 100% of the Lord's attributes are added to the soldiers' attributes!

Awesome!

This skill is too strong, worthy of being an Intermediate skill!

He looked at his attributes again.

[Lord]: Han Huohuo

[Level]: Nine

[Attributes]: Strength 6, Defense 5, Stamina 2, Intelligence 4.

[Exclusive Skill]: Mechanical Specialization

[General Skills]: Intermediate Leadership, Primary Attack.

Because all the treasures were given to Hua Mulan, his stamina dropped significantly.

His attributes were finally passable, decent to look at. Now, an ordinary bandits was probably not his opponent.

He swung his fist, and the wind whistled. His strength had indeed increased significantly.

Of course, a Lord doesn't go up and fight directly, scratching faces and stealing peaches. The biggest advantage is that the Lord's attributes can be shared with all soldiers, so even if the Lord's attributes are not high, they are still extremely important.

[Congratulations, Lord, you are the first to kill a Ten Thousand Captain, receiving a Super Resource Chest. Please check.]

First kill reward!

Resource Chest?

This was the first time Han Huohuo had seen a Resource Chest, and it was a Super Chest right away.

How many resources does it take to be considered a Super Chest?

Han Huohuo opened the chest with a beautiful dream in his heart.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 10000 Iron Ingots, 2000 black stone, 100 black oil, and 50 Self-Selected Rare Ore Chests.]

Resources were piled all over the ground!

Han Huohuo was very surprised. The only regret was the lack of wood and stone.

What are the 50 Self-Selected Rare Chests?

[50 abyss crystal, 50 radiant gem, 50 fire sea sulfur, 50 ice field mercury, 50 Radioactive Elements.]

The first four are the four common precious resources in this world, extremely difficult to mine. Even with a mine, it takes many days to extract one.

Therefore, these materials are extremely valuable.

But what is Radioactive Elements?

He looked at the description.

[Radioactive Elements]: Otherworldly material, appearing in this world due to uncontrollable abnormal reasons, extremely rare.

Huh?

Uncontrollable abnormal reasons? Could it be brought by my Mecha Workshop?

However, he couldn't tell for now. He would put this chest aside and wasn't in a hurry to use it.

Han Huohuo already guessed in his heart that this material was very likely for his exclusive use, but he wasn't completely sure.

10000 iron? 2000 black stone?

Isn't this exactly the resources needed to upgrade the Mecha Workshop to level three?

How could he be polite?

Han Huohuo immediately upgraded the Mecha Workshop.

While upgrading, he prayed that there would be more powerful troops inside to help him resist the increasingly frantic attacks of the officers and soldiers!

[Mecha Workshop (Level 3) Special Barracks. Various mecha warriors can be manufactured in the workshop. Upgrading to the next level requires 100000 Iron Ingots and 20000 black stone.]

Seeing the resources required to upgrade the Mecha Workshop to level four, Han Huohuo's eyes went dark. One hundred thousand iron ingots? Twenty thousand black stone?

Is this going to kill me?

Never mind, let's see what's inside first.

Because of the White Pagoda, the troops recruited inside were directly level two.

[Level 2 Plasma Cannon]: 500 Iron Ingots, 40 black oil.

[Combat Power]: Strength 40, Defense 10, Stamina 10, Intelligence 10.

[Special Skills]: Self-Propelled Unit, Ranged Attack, Area Attack, Slow Action, Paralysis, Large Unit (10 population).

[Power Source]: One operation can last for four hours. After the power is exhausted, it returns to the Mecha Workshop to recharge.

[Loyalty]: Always 100.

Han Huohuo was shocked.

Is this a self-propelled Plasma Cannon?

It's too powerful. One Plasma Cannon occupies 10 population, but looking at these attributes, it's definitely worth it.

Looking at the resources needed for construction, it had changed again, becoming black oil!

black stone almost killed him with exhaustion, and now there was a new resource.

There was also another facility. As expected, without any surprises, it was equipment for collecting black oil.

[Mobile Oil Extraction Platform]: 2000 Stone, 2000 Iron Ingots.

[Function]: Exploration, transforms into a fixed mine, collects black oil, consumes 100 black stone or 10 black oil daily.

This was a mobile exploration vehicle. After discovering a black oil deposit, it would transform into a fixed drilling platform, continuously extracting black oil.

black oil is a hidden mineral deposit that cannot be seen on the map. This exploration vehicle needs to explore everywhere to find it, and finding it depends entirely on luck.
