It turns out that it is so easy and comfortable to lead an army to attack resource points. Of course, Qu Mao did not hesitate to lead the army to continue to attack new resource points.

At first, he was thinking about the food crisis and asked Sunan to go back and lead the people over. But Qu Mao then thought about it. It would only be a matter of a day or two at most. He couldn't go hunting by himself or lead the army to hunt collectively. He was worried about running out of food.

, simply recruit them directly if there is no local residents to garrison them. Anyway, you still have a lot of resident recruitment coupons.

After the cheating system made a comprehensive assessment of the combat power of Qu Mao's army, it continued to prompt the next resource point. The latest resource point is a crystal mine, about 500 meters away from here, and still no more than one kilometer away from the lord's hut.

.

The crystal mine is still guarded by wild beasts. The cheating system gives a hint of 12 black bears with a strength equivalent to the third level and 4 tigers with a strength equivalent to the third level. In total, there are 16 beasts with a strength equivalent to the third level.

Compared with the metal mine stationed by 18 wild wolves, the garrison strength of this crystal mine has been greatly improved, but obviously the cheating system believes that it is still no match for Qu Mao's army.

Let’s not talk about the attack power bonus of the Violent Totem Pole of the Wonder Building to Qu Mao’s army, but the army itself also has professional bonuses, but the beasts do not. No matter how large the beast herd is, there will be no professional bonus or army bonus.

As a veteran who had served in a third-tier army, Sunan seemed to emphasize to Qu Mao that as long as the army was formed, there would be combat bonuses.

But before arriving at the crystal mine, Qu Mao cautiously made some preparations in advance. After all, he carried hundreds of bamboos in his backpack at any time and it was easy to spend dozens of bamboos to build a temporary bamboo barrier.

When the second-level archer Chaifield was first recruited, the experience of killing a black bear while all the people in Yi Village hid in the lord's hut is still vivid in his mind.

In the end, the wooden door of the lord's cabin was almost smashed by the black bear, and the black bear was finally killed.

The position is now constructed 100 meters away from the beasts stationed in the crystal mine. The second-level archers can shoot at a range of 150 meters. Considering the dense vegetation in the woods, Qu Mao built the position only 100 meters away from the beasts.

After doing this, Qu Maocai ordered the troops to line up and let Chaifield shoot arrows to attract the monsters.

The tigers were faster than the black bears, so they were hit faster than the black bears. Before they rushed 50 meters in front of the position, the four tigers, whose strength was equivalent to the third level, lay on the ground without any movement.

Although the black bears were slow, they had thick skin and rough flesh. When they rushed in front of the bamboo horse, there were still seven or eight bears left, but all of them were injured. After surviving the long-range attacks of the stone throwers and axe-throwing warriors, they had not yet had time.

After swatting away the bamboo and resisting the horse, he was stabbed seven or eight times by the long weapons of the first-order spearmen and second-order halberdiers.

The first-level sword and shield soldiers were very frustrated. With their shields up and being blocked by bamboo and horse, they had no chance to attack at all.

Two sword and shield soldiers were so eager to achieve their goals that they didn't even bother to maintain their formation. They jumped over the bamboo and blocked the horse and rushed forward to fight the black bear hand to hand.

Seeing this posture, Qu Mao was not worried about the safety of the sword and shield soldiers at all, but it was a pity that the bearskin would become even more incomplete.

There is no doubt that this battle was won again without any injuries. The crystal mine was conquered. The cheating system properly reminded Qu Mao that the 18 resource mines marked by it were all conquered and the people could be directly stationed to resume production.

, which means that Qu Mao can just conquer the people and prepare for them.

After stationing the 10 previously recruited citizens, Qu Mao recruited 10 ordinary citizens again and handed them over to Sunan to lead.

Under normal circumstances, resource mines outside the territorial scope need to arrange military defense in addition to arranging for territorial residents to be stationed to resume production. This is because when territorial residents are stationed in the mine for production, they may be attacked by wild beasts, monsters or hostile forces.

.

However, these resource mines are not far from the lord's cabin, and there are no other heroes under Qu Mao. There is only Su Yan, an internal affairs officer, who is a hero. There is no way to divide the troops to defend these mines for a while. For the time being, only 3 are required.

First-class sailors patrolled, and no troops were stationed.

After arranging for the residents to be stationed and telling them that someone would deliver meals at noon, Qu Mao did not waste too much time and continued to lead the army to the next resource point.

Continuous battles in the army still consume a huge amount of physical strength of the soldiers. At the same time, the increase in fatigue will also lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness. Therefore, Qu Mao judged that at most he could conquer the next resource mine in the morning.

The resource mine prompted by the cheating system this time is a gem mine, guarded by all tigers, with a total number of 20.

The tiger is very fast, and its jumping ability is much better than that of the black bear. There is no way for an ordinary bamboo horse to stop the tiger.

But necessary safety measures still need to be taken, so Qu Mao insisted on building a higher bamboo horse.

Chaifield and others tried to dissuade him, but the opposition from the first-order sword and shield soldiers was the most intense.

Zhao Pan said: "Sir, the army has been out all morning, and now it is the third battle. The comrades are very tired, and I think there is no need to waste time building bamboo and horses.

It will take you at least half an hour more to build the bamboo and horse.

Let’s start the war directly. After the fight, we can still catch up with lunch without wasting time to eat..."

Qu Mao said angrily: "Damn! You are a foodie, so why don't you waste time eating? Don't you know it's safer to use bamboo to resist your comrades?..."

Zhang Da, who had followed Qu Mao for the longest time, advised: "Sir, it's not a subordinate's fault for ignoring the safety of his comrades. It's really not the wrong thing to do."

Chaifedel had already begun to bend his bow and arrow, and said: "Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates are absolutely sure to end the battle without any damage, so there is no need to waste time!

Besides, my lord is just a subordinate lord, and there is no general to directly control the subordinates, so the subordinates can decide the timing of the battle on their own."

After Chafidel finished speaking, the bow and arrow in his hand had been loosened, and a feather arrow shot rapidly towards the tiger stationed at the gem mine.

Cold sweat broke out on Qu Mao's forehead. This was nothing. Sure enough, it was unreliable if his loyalty was low. His own army did not obey his orders.

But the battle had already begun, and the second-level archers had started shooting "boom boom boom". Qu Mao had to reveal the exquisite dagger in his equipment slot and nervously stared at the direction where the tiger was charging.

The result of the final battle proved that he was indeed overly worried.

Only about 10 tigers rushed nearby, but they were blocked by the shields of the sword and shield soldiers. The spearmen and halberdiers pushed forward, and the sword and shield soldiers swung their swords. They were basically killed in the first time without causing any trouble.

Even the ten ordinary citizens led by Su Nan in the back row did not look frightened by the wind and waves.

The gem mine continued to be guarded by 10 ordinary citizens, and Qu Mao began to lead the army to retreat.

Sunan had to send people to arrange lunch for the people stationed at the three resource points, so Qu Mao brought Sunan back to the area near the lord's hut.

On the way to withdraw the troops, Qu Mao humbly asked Zhang Da, the outstanding spearman who followed him for the first time, about the issue of command.

Zhang Da said: "Sir, you are the lord and have the right to govern all the armies in our territory, but it is different on the battlefield. Either you add us to your direct army, or you have to arrange for a hero to lead us.

us.

We are all professional soldiers, but we are just soldiers. The generals who control us can appoint us as squad captains, squadron leaders or group captains of the army, but we have no way to control the army beyond our professions.

In normal times, the first person we take orders from is naturally you, Lord, but in wartime we first take orders from the heroes who control us, secondly from our direct captain officers, and thirdly from you."

Qu Mao nodded as if he understood. Although Zhang Da was the first to follow him, his qualifications were only at the excellent level after all, and he might not have expressed it very clearly. It seemed that he had to go back and talk to Su Yan.
