In the jungle, Xue Hua sat cross-legged on the back of a cockroach, heading in the opposite direction to Jikuer.
Since breaking out of the monster siege with Farah and others three days ago, Xue Hua once again broke away from the large army and began to continue his solo operations.
There was no way, the number of the demon army coming from the direction of Cui Fank that night was almost as large as the number of the demon army coming from the direction of Kurast Seaport.
This shows that the Demon Legion does have another headquarters in this rain forest besides Kurast Seaport.
In order to prevent the insect swarm from being stabbed in the back by Cui Fanke's demon army when they attack Kurast, Xue Hua must first at least find out how many chips the demon army has placed in Cui Fanke.
With this information, he can make targeted arrangements for this, so that he will not be at a disadvantage due to insufficient preparation in the upcoming war.
Now the battle between humans and hell in the first world has entered the stage of fighting for corners. Although the parliamentary guard army has just exposed their landing information and whereabouts, the demon army also captured Cui Fanke in order to seize Lan Yisen's ancient book.
Most of the layout is exposed.
Moreover, Lan Yisen's ancient book fell into the hands of humans in the end, so no matter how you look at it, this first game was a small profit for humans.
Coupled with the four altars that Xue Hua destroyed in the jungle before, it can be said that in this detailed capture-the-flag battle, humans have already grabbed the first match point.
A truly large-scale war is like a game. Before it can really unfold, a lot of preparation work needs to be done in the early stage.
Intelligence, support, logistics.
Time, location, people, etc., etc., are all very important.
The war between the human side and the demon army in the rain forest has now entered the preparation stage for this stalemate.
In this stage, the real main force and main plan will not move, but the small peripheral forces will enter an extremely active state.
All kinds of espionage and counter-espionage, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, raids, diplomatic operations, etc. will break out in large numbers during this stage.
The victory of every small action is that a small node is captured by one's side.
When these small nodes gather together like a tower, they become a "matching point".
When the war officially begins, whichever side holds more "match points" will gain the initiative in the war.
The two previous wars that Xue Hua experienced with monster armies were nothing compared to this one.
That time at Rogge's camp, no matter how powerful Andariel was, he was only one of the four little demon kings. Even if it descended into the first world, the strength of its monster army was still very worrying.
And that battle was a last-ditch battle for humans. If Xue Hua's insect swarm hadn't suddenly appeared on the battlefield and pushed humans hard, the humans would have had no chance to prevent Andariel from getting the key to the mountains.
.
The reason is that the decisive battle started too hastily, and there was no time to compete for the "match point". In the end, we had to resort to cheating to solve the problem.
The battle at Lugoin Harbor had no "match point" at all. From the beginning to the end, the humans never obtained any information about the fall of Kurast.
By the time the final battle was about to begin, the "match point" had been completely controlled by the opponent. At this time, it was completely meaningless to learn the information about the fall of Kurast Seaport.
Fortunately, the preparations on the demon legion's side were not sufficient, especially the powerful combat power of Xue Hua's insect swarm, which was once again underestimated. Therefore, although Lu Gaoyin's kingdom was only half-breathed, he was still attacked after all.
Return.
But this time, in this war in the rainforest, Xue Hua did not dare to underestimate the luck of the insect swarm.
Because the demons who are currently occupying Kurast Harbor and Trevank, the big boss behind them, Mephisto, had personally witnessed the power of the swarm during the battle at Lugoin Harbor.
Therefore, it will definitely deploy targeted defenses against the insect swarm.
What Xue Hua has to do now is to find out the opponent's plan for the insect swarm.
Or at least know the other party's basic method of targeting the insect swarm.
He had just helped the human army gain at least one match point, and now he had to prevent the demon side from getting their first match point from the insect swarm.
The cockroach quickly shuttled among the leaves. Xue Hua played with a ring in his hand and sat firmly on the cockroach's carapace.
There was a shield with a little bit of blue light surrounding his body. This shield easily deflected the strong wind blowing in his face and the branches coming from all directions.
"Hey...no wonder Master Faye, this shield skill is so useful. Not only can it resist damage, it can also protect against wind...Why doesn't the Necromancer's bone shield have this function?
Even if it doesn’t look good, sometimes it actually blocks the view..."
Xue Hua whispered with envy and jealousy.
The ring on his hand was picked up by the insect swarm for him when they just cleared the battlefield.
This is a blue grade ring. The grade is not very high, but the attributes are very interesting.
The ring carries a gas-gathering skill, which is the Ice Mage's "Ice Shattering Armor" (level 6). It can be used up to 4 times, and each time can last for an hour.
The gas-gathering equipment in this world has an obviously much lower explosion rate than the ones in the games Xue Hua has played before.
In such a long time, Xue Hua has only seen him twice.
One time was when I met a group of killers on the way back from the Boneyard. The guy who was leading the way and pretending to be dead had a top-quality gas-gathering ring with the "Teleport" skill.
I don’t know what kind of bad luck this guy has had in his life. A guy who is less than level 20 has such good things in his hands.
It's a pity that this world can't steal equipment from dead people, otherwise the ring would have been very useful to Xue Hua at that time.
The second time was a gambling fight with a certain idiot second generation ancestor in the Rogge camp. The necromancer's special equipment "Anti-corrosion Head" I won from him had a "Clay Stone Demon" that could only be used once.
"Skill.
However, this skill was ultimately wasted by that idiot who seemed to have drunk fake wine before the equipment fell into Xue Hua's hands, so Xue Hua has not been able to use the Qi gathering equipment personally until now.
Especially the skill of summoning Clay Stone Demon. Due to Abathur's mutation of his summoning skills, Xue Hua has never summoned Clay Stone Demon himself.
And as the power of the insect swarm becomes more and more powerful, the opportunities for him to take action personally are becoming less and less.
In other words, even if he can get Qi-gathering equipment now, it can only be used to satisfy the small regrets he once had, and it has no practical significance at all.
So when he discovered that the shield activated by the ring on his hand could not only increase his damage resistance, but also help him maintain stability on the back of a flying cockroach, he felt very satisfied.
"Hey... we are also dignified necromancers after all, we can't just dry out in the back... Not to mention that my bones are almost rusty, this also makes me look a bit useless...
..”
After playing with it for a while, Xue Hua re-equipped the ring, and then started to swing around with the short staff in his hand out of boredom.
Speaking of which, the weapon in his hand is still the "Torch of Yiluo" that has been strengthened by Horadric Malus. Although this thing has been strengthened, its properties are still pretty good.
But it’s definitely time to replace it after using it until now...
Xue Hua stared boredly through the gaps between the trees into the sky not far away, where the shadow of a huge fortress building was getting closer and closer to him.
