Chapter 1477 Target, the teleportation array of the Mysterious Grotto
In the end, Jiang Yue and the others finalized several plans after layers of screening and numerous deductions, and selected two of the target sites.
Of these two sites, one is within the territory of the Abyss Tribe and the other is within the territory of the Yaocao Tribe.
When the Earth Inner Tribe goes on an expedition to the surface world, the supply of materials must be huge. For the Inner Earth World, supplies such as food are produced everywhere in the huge Inner Earth World. They can be recruited from all directions and sent to all armies continuously.
.
If they want to cut off these transportations of grain and grass, Jiang Yue's manpower is far from enough. Even if the existing manpower is increased ten times, it is impossible to have such coverage capabilities.
The most important thing is that this is other people's territory in the Earth's Inner World. Although the Earth's Inner Clan is weakened now, the basic foundations of each tribe are still there. In the Earth's Inner Clan's territory, if your manpower is too spread out, you can rely on
With the power of a few people, it is actually more difficult to make a big splash than to reach the sky.
Jiang Yue naturally chose these two strongholds after careful consideration.
In addition to food and grass, the greatest material support for the Earth Center Clan's expedition is spiritual stones and elixirs. These two things are the basis for the Earth Center Clan's survival.
Without a steady supply of spiritual stones and elixirs, the Earth Center Clan's combat effectiveness would simply not be able to continue.
As for the spirit stones, the Abyss Tribe and the Houtu Tribe account for almost 60-70% of the total. Jiang Yue's new identity now is that of a newly promoted bachelor in the Five Elements Academy.
The Abyss Tribe and the Houtu Tribe are both the golden tribes behind the Five Elements Academy. Therefore, Jiang Yue is very familiar with the channel chain of spiritual stone supply.
He knows the entire process behind the supply of spiritual stones, including the path of spiritual stone transportation, where it is shipped from, where it is transferred, where it is collected, and through which channels it enters the battlefield on the surface world.
This collection site within the Abyssal Tribe gathers all the spiritual stone supplies for the Abyssal Tribe and the Houtu Tribe.
Why must we gather at this site? Naturally, it’s because this site is backed by the first secret realm in the Abyss Tribe, the Mysterious Grotto.
The Mysterious Grotto, like the Jiangli Mountains, is a favorite place for adventurers. It has countless adventure resources and is favored by adventurers.
The most important thing is that there is a huge teleportation circle in the Mysterious Grotto. This teleportation circle is connected with many teleportation circles in other places. Through this circle, you can go to many other teleportation circles in the inner earth world.
In this way, it can be ensured that these unified and concentrated spiritual stones will be continuously sent to various parts of the inner world through the operation of the magic circle, and then enter the battlefield of the surface world through passages in various places.
This can almost be said to be the most efficient way of operation.
If we do not go through the teleportation circle and rely solely on ground transportation, it will be inefficient to quickly transport spiritual stones to all parts of the inner world.
Especially for places that are far away, a large-scale transportation may not be completed within a month or two, and the manpower and material resources consumed are incalculable.
Moreover, the longer the distance of road transportation, the greater the risk and the more accidental factors. If someone is robbed along the way, who will be responsible for this mess?
Although everyone in the inner earth world is now united to conquer the surface world, this does not mean that everyone has become selfless.
Such a large amount of spiritual stones and wealth are very attractive. Once they are targeted by those powerful forces, if they smell it and make them feel that they have an opportunity, they will rob it without any psychological pressure at all.
The slogan shouts, but the body is honest after all. If you have money but don't make money, you are a bastard.
Besides, once the spirit stone is snatched, the only loss is the supplier or the buyer. As far as the inner earth world is concerned, the spirit stone is not lost, it is just the meat rotten in the pot.
Although this genius logic is a bit shameless, it still makes sense.
All races in the inner earth world obviously know each other very well. They know that long-distance transportation of spiritual stones is definitely not safe. Therefore, it is almost a consensus among the major forces to use the teleportation formation.
At this time, we should not test each other's humanity. We should adopt the safest method and the most efficient method to ensure that the spiritual stones can continue to reach the battlefield of the surface world as quickly as possible. This is the right way.
As for the huge cost of the teleportation formation, this is something that all the major forces can bear.
Activating the teleportation array does consume a lot of money. But compared to a large number of people escorting a long distance, this cost is not much more expensive, at most it is only ten or twenty points higher.
It is completely acceptable to use this 20% expenditure in exchange for efficient and safe transportation.
As a bachelor of the Five Elements Academy, Jiang Yue had thousands of soldiers and horses. There were four regiments in total, all stationed in the area around the Misty Grotto.
This group of men and horses under them covers the security of hundreds of miles around.
On weekdays, we patrol the boundaries along the way to ensure that all surrounding areas are under strict surveillance by the team every day to eliminate all possible accidental factors.
Although the teleportation formation is very convenient and efficient, the Abyss Tribe and the Houtu Tribe have very large territories, and the origin of spiritual stones is not concentrated in one place.
Therefore, the teleportation formation from the place of origin to the Mysterious Grotto may be far or near, but there is still a long way to go. The far one is about one or two thousand miles, and the short one is about one hundred or ten miles.
The safety of this section of the road cannot be underestimated either.
Although this is the territory of the Abyssal Clan, it is basically unlikely that other forces will appear on a large scale here, and the possibility of being robbed along the way is not high.
But the inner earth world is such a magical place. You can't let down your guard at any time, and you can't be too optimistic about the character of the major forces in the inner earth clan.
Therefore, Jiang Yue's four regiments are not only responsible for patrolling along the way to ensure the safety of the transportation team, but also must be able to rush to the scene as soon as possible once a situation arises. In addition, they are also responsible for after the spirit stone enters the site.
Arrange people and horses to be on duty.
After all, the transportation capacity of the teleportation array is not infinite, but the spiritual stone is a huge amount, and it is always in stock.
And the teleportation formation cannot operate day and night. The formation also needs formation and maintenance. Otherwise, if it operates too much, if there is a problem with the formation and it stops for ten days and a half, it will be a big trouble.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, there are strict regulations on the use of teleportation formations. The formations must not be allowed to operate excessively.
In the past, the teleportation array only had a few working hours per day, so there was no need to worry about problems with the array.
Now, transporting spiritual stones requires it to be activated for a long time, and the consumption of the formation is more than ten times that of the past.
In this case, routine maintenance and inspection are very necessary.
According to Jiang Yue's understanding, after several days of overload operation, this teleportation formation has actually experienced many minor problems.
Therefore, the party responsible for the teleportation array finally formulated rules and regulations, and every two days of operation, it must take a day off.
This day off is the time for formation inspection and maintenance.
It sounds a bit harsh, equivalent to one day of rest after two days of operation, and the frequency of rest is too high. However, considering the overload of the formation operation, this rest system is not an exaggeration.
However, the spiritual stones that are constantly being shipped from the place of origin will not stop. Therefore, there will be an inventory problem. The throughput of the formation is somewhat limited, and there is no time to digest this continuous flow of spiritual stones.
Not to mention working two days and taking one day off, even if we keep running, the amount of spiritual stones coming from the place of origin still exceeds the transportation volume. Therefore, the inventory will only increase.
Fortunately, many large warehouses have been opened here in the Misty Grotto to house these inventories.
However, there is a new problem. The larger the inventory, the greater the security pressure. These are spiritual stones that are very valuable. If there is no strong and stable security, something may really happen, and it will be a big thing.
The security personnel are not just Jiang Yue's regiments.
The few regiments under Jiang Yue's command are just for starting a job. As for the Five Elements Academy, they arranged for a bachelor with a golden ribbon to personally lead the group and sit here.
This Grand Scholar with the Golden Ribbon has the common ancestry of the Abyss Tribe and the Houtu Tribe, and is considered to be the strongest being in the Five Elements Academy after the three Grand Scholars with the Purple Gold Ribbon.
With such a big shot in charge, it shows how much the Five Elements Academy attaches great importance to this matter.
And this great bachelor with the golden ribbon named Ging Lei arranged 6,000 troops around the warehouse, almost completely surrounding the entire warehouse with no blind spots.
In addition to the six thousand personal troops he led, there were as many as three bachelors of Jiang Yue's level, including Jiang Yue.
Each of them has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and they are all under the control of Grand Master Gong Lei in name.
As long as there is an emergency, Gong Lei can mobilize these three groups of people at any time. In other words, just in the area around the teleportation formation in the Mysterious Grotto, there are nearly 30,000 people that can be mobilized.
And if the situation changes, the Five Elements Academy headquarters can send troops to support at any time, and the time to arrive here will basically be within 24 hours.
Even so, Jiang Yue still unswervingly set one of his goals at the Misty Grotto.
The other target is set on the territory of the Yaocao tribe. Of course, this is the next plan. And this plan requires the use of another layer of relationships.
The current focus is naturally on the site of Mi Mi Grotto.
Even though there are tens of thousands of soldiers here, it is destined to be a difficult bone to crack. But it is a bone that must be cracked.
Only by taking down this site, or even destroying the teleportation formation, can we truly affect the situation of the battle, or even influence the situation of the battle.
Just imagine, when the war situation in the surface world is in full swing, the supply of spiritual stones here suddenly cannot keep up, which will inevitably cause the Earth Core Clan army to get into trouble.
Once this teleportation array is destroyed, it will definitely not be repaired in a short period of time. However, transportation through ground channels may take seven or eight days to reach the nearest, or even ten days and half a month to reach the distance. Transporting to the surface world will be delayed.
It will only take longer.
And when the battle situation is stalemate, not to mention a delay of ten days and a half, even a delay of one and a half days may be fatal.
…
Jiang Yue's team has a total of about 6,000 people, divided into four regiments. These four regiments are stationed on both sides of a mountain range, forming a semi-circular layout that opens outward.
This is the only way to enter the hinterland of the Misty Grotto, and it is also the only way to transport spiritual stones from everywhere. What they guard is only a part of this only way.
The four regiments also have their own defense areas and coordinate with each other to ensure safety along the way.
Naturally, it is impossible for the team under the Five Elements Academy to be dishonest.
Jiang Yue personally led one of the groups and stationed themselves in a cave about a hundred miles away from the teleportation formation. The terrain here is extremely low, the sun is not visible all year round, the light is extremely poor, and there are almost no large trees here.
The place grows.
However, around the cave, there are many kinds of shrubs and grasses, and rocks are scattered everywhere. Sometimes there is a deep cave here, and there is a low cave there. There is almost no flat ground in sight, and the terrain is extremely complicated.
It is very depressing for the team to be stationed in such a place. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to survive in such a place for a long time.
Therefore, it also gives many wild creatures a lot of living space, especially those creatures that like dark and humid environments, and they are extremely active.
The Mysterious Grotto itself is also rich in all kinds of strange rough stones. Therefore, although this place cannot be lived for a long time, it is not desolate with people coming and going.
In many places, there are obvious traces of the long-term passage of humans in the center of the earth, and obvious paths have been trodden.
Because of the terrain, even if a regiment of more than a thousand people is stationed, it is extremely laborious. In particular, the support of supplies is much more troublesome than on flat ground.
Of course, these are not big problems for the huge Five Elements Academy.
Jiang Yue and his team have been stationed here for two days. During these two days, they have basically become familiar with the surrounding terrain, and at the same time they have been carrying out patrol and escort tasks in an orderly manner.
In the past two days, there has been an endless stream of spirit stone transport teams from the Abyss Tribe and the Houtu Tribe, passing by here and going to the hinterland of the Mysterious Grotto where the teleportation formation is located.
Looking at this endless stream of teams, we can also see how huge the throughput of this spirit stone is, and we can also see how exaggerated the consumption of spirit stones by the Earth Center Clan's war is.
The constant supply of so many spiritual stones puts the teleportation formation here to a great test.
According to Jiang Yue's understanding, the teleportation formation here is almost at its limit. If it is not forced to work for two days and rest for one day, this formation is so overused that it will be shut down in less than three to five days, or even
It's a collapse.
And this is also the third day since the Star City team arrived in the inner earth world.
Considering that in the surface world, war has already broken out, and some areas have already encountered the invasion of the Geocentric Tribe before they set off.
Therefore, after doing nothing for two consecutive days, the Star City team became somewhat unable to sit still.
They all asked Jiang Yue to fight.
"Brother Yue, time waits for no one. Every extra day this war is delayed will result in countless casualties among humans on the surface. It's not an option for us to wait like this." Mao Doudou is an impatient person.
According to his understanding, now that they have so many skills with the help of Jiang Yue's blessing, combined with their own natural strength, they are like a bunch of fighting machines. They can directly attack the teleportation array in the Misty Grotto and destroy the array with force. I believe that even if
An army of 20,000 to 30,000 people may not be able to stop them.
