Confirming that the mine was useful, Fang Jie began to look for other mineral veins according to the map.
This is an area that has just entered the desert, so there are not many mineral veins, but it is not completely absent. There are at least a dozen mineral veins in the area under my control nearby, although most of them are small and barren mineral veins.
Without thinking, Fang Jie led his team and started mining overnight. At the same time, many stocks were divided, and other heroes led the team.
In the middle of the night, all the mineral veins were developed and permanent mining sites were established.
"Now, there is no shortage of copper ore, iron ore, and even a small vein of spar. Then the alchemy puppets can be manufactured on a large scale." Fang Jie looked at the records and was very satisfied.
"There is also a silver mine here. Although it is a little less useful, it is not bad."
Silver is not that important in this world. Although there are currencies such as silver coins and copper coins, these are low-end currencies. It can be said that the upper-class nobles and big businessmen basically use gold coins for transactions among the indigenous people.
Silver coins and copper coins were only used by the middle and lower classes. For a lord like himself, this kind of currency was basically worthless. However, silver was also a special material, so it was not completely worthless.
"It would be nice to get smelting type buildings."
Fang Jie looked at the synthesis drawings and synthesized them through the material warehouse. It was a bit too wasteful for the ore.
If there is a smelting type building, you will get more. Although the warehouse has many functions, in fact, none of them are refined, so it is a bit inferior.
These things will be available in the future, just take your time.
On the other side, a group of snake people gathered together at this time.
"Brother Greyscale, what should we do? Those undead have increased their troops again, and this time they are more powerful." A desert snake man said to a gray desert snake man next to him with a distressed look on his face.
This color is really rare among desert snake people.
Most of the desert snake people with special colors are weaker than others of the same kind, but this one is very powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible to become the boss of this group of snake people and convince them.
"There is no way. We are only responsible for reconnaissance. We cannot deal with such a large-scale army."
After thinking for a while, Gray Scale continued: "I have communicated with the leader before. The leader said that if we send troops to stop the attack in the abandoned forest, they will definitely return to the territory there."
The so-called abandoned forest is a small forest that appeared in the desert when it was originally dropped.
But because it was too small, the rules did not protect it. That small forest was quickly assimilated by the desert, and all the plants in it died, so it became an abandoned small forest.
But inside, there was a small territory that had been cleared away by them before.
What they didn't expect was that before they could occupy that territory, a large number of undead creatures would come running towards them, so the desert snakemen had no choice but to put aside their plans and deal with these undead creatures first.
"So are we going to stop those people at that place?"
"No, we are not going over there. With this little obstruction, it is impossible to stop those undead. If we go there, we will die. Let's just find an excuse to leave this place and return to the base camp. That is the battlefield for the decisive battle."
Gray Scale is not stupid. He knows the blocking plan here, but he just wants to test the opponent's strength.
The leader may have the idea of showing his strength to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties, but how is this possible? It would be impossible for anyone with such a huge force to retreat.
It's really that the Snake Man didn't want to give up that territory, so he adopted such a strategy that seemed to him like an idiot.
Sure enough, after a day's rest, Fang Jie got up before noon the next day and continued moving forward with his team.
The location marked on the map also contains the abandoned forest. Because this map only came into existence after it developed, there are also records of where this place originally had territory.
"I don't know if this territory has been abandoned yet. It happens to be on the route. Let's go and take a look."
Fang Jie gave the order, and except for the 100,000 undead souls left behind, everyone else followed and moved forward.
This place is a territory after all and cannot be wasted like this. Fang Jie even left some skeletons to build a fortress nearby. Of course, this fortress is the kind that surrounds the entire territory.
Only in this way can we better protect our territory from infringement.
But as he moved forward, Fang Jie realized something was wrong. Because his Death Crow saw a large number of desert snakes and desert lizards gathering in front of him, all in that territory.
"Are they treating that place as their own territory? They actually gathered 300,000 troops."
To others, these 300,000 troops were definitely a lot, but in Fang Jie's view, it was just that. Then Fang Jie discovered that some desert snake men began to burrow underground.
It's just that with such a huge army, it's basically impossible to hide them all underground, and the place will quickly become crowded with people.
This is probably because he wants to deal with himself, but unfortunately, all his men are skeletons, so he can completely restrain these desert snake men. Their poison and sneak attacks have little effect on skeletons.
"This is the situation ahead. You will be in charge of the rest of the battle."
Fang Jie told what he saw, and then handed over the command to Fang Hao.
After all, Fang Hao has been exploring the desert area, so he has a better understanding of the situation in the desert. It is most reliable to hand over the war command to Fang Hao.
"Yes." Fang Hao nodded slightly and took over the command.
Coster followed without saying a word and obeyed the order completely. Not long after, the skeletons saw the desert snake man on the opposite side.
But before the two teams met, some black shadows appeared in the sky first, which were the machine flying eagles. The machine flying eagles carried large boxes and threw them directly towards the opposite side.
If Fang Jie hadn't explained it, their attack range might have included that territory as well.
Looking from a distance, I don't know if the territory has been destroyed, but it seems to be still standing.
Those boxes fell to the ground, and many balls instantly fell out. The balls collided, and then burned. As they burned, they melted, and the melted liquid began to spread with flames.
This kind of heat is not something that the desert snake people can withstand. Each snake person runs around with flames, and even the ones underground can't bear it.
