Shen Rui was riding on a horse, with some people following around him. He was looking at a hilltop in front of him.
The administration sent a map with some red dots marked on it, which are all objects allowed to be attacked.
The hilltop in front of them was a target that could be attacked. This was exactly the result of their negotiations with a temporary alliance of aberrations.
"It's just that there are very few places where we can attack. How can we break this situation?"
Shen Rui looked at the team attacking the mountain and muttered to himself.
"Recently, there is new information saying that aberrations seem to be communicating on a large scale. Monitoring points within Kyushu have found that the frequency of their close communication has increased dozens of times compared to this time in previous years." Ouyang Ling reminded.
"It seems that our pressure will increase a lot in the future." Shen Rui frowned.
The aberrations are smart and will not just watch them pass by one after another like in the game. The previous alliance of aberrations in the four provinces was just a sign.
He has realized that his sudden rise has given these weirdos an opportunity to unite. The formation of many forces in history was due to the pressure of foreign enemies.
"Wait a minute, are the weirdos on the mountain in front of me the same guys who reject the alliance?" He suddenly thought of a place.
"Yes, they do insist on independence, but we have also made sure that of course they will not be easily fooled by those weirdos," Ouyang shook his head. "These are also staunch anti-humanists who often attack our field workers. , they want to kill all of us humans and monopolize this land, which is proved by various documents issued by the local fortress."
"Oh, then there's nothing to say. I can only kill them all." Shen Rui nodded.
This is a racial battlefield. If the other party has no intention of coexistence, it can only be eliminated.
Humanity has given them a chance, although it was forced by circumstances.
About an hour later, the team that entered the mountain came back on foot one by one, and there were many people carrying unconscious teammates on their backs.
"The enemy this time is a bit difficult."
"It's okay. One-tenth of the people fainted from the battle, which is indeed a large number."
"That aberration leader is indeed powerful. If there is no battlefield space, it will be too much of a disadvantage to compete with it."
"After all, the cost of dispatching a violent bear is too high. It is better for that guy to sleep in particle space, which saves money."
"Well, once it attacks, it will eat up nearly a million of our supplies and divide our spoils. Is it better to prevent it from coming out?"
Many people were walking and discussing happily.
When Teacher Wu saw this situation, he was relieved and sighed.
This kind of situation cannot be seen in other teams. If you clear out the monsters, there will always be casualties. If there are casualties, there will be no laughter.
Everyone who comes back will feel heavy when they see their teammates dying beside them.
What's left is the joy of surviving. The battle is by no means as glorious as what is eulogized in TV and movies, but bloody and cruel. Those who participate in it are full of fatigue, fear, tension and despair.
Only those who have actually gone through bloody battlefields will truly oppose the battlefield. On the contrary, those who have never been on the battlefield will like war because it will bring them benefits.
At this time, suddenly a remaining wild deer rushed over with its sharp horns.
"Humans, all deserve to die!"
"Only by killing all of you can we live freely under this sky and never become objects that you can use at will!"
It roared like this, then was stabbed in the neck by a gunshot and fell to the ground.
"If we lose in this biological competition, we will end up worse than you." One of the team members who killed it spat out disdainfully, put away the spear, and then dragged the other party to a group of strange monsters.
"Yes, at least our civilization has begun to go through the either/or stage, and you have just started. The dominance of the earth can only be reliable in our hands." Shen Rui nodded.
No one present will be soft-hearted because they have not experienced the hothouse flowers on the battlefield. To sympathize with the enemy and be soft to the enemy is to commit a crime against the teammates.
After this killing, everyone saw that the red dot on the map was missing again.
Returning to the temporary campsite, everyone began to conduct post-war summary as usual.
"This can't continue like this. The weird calculations are obvious. They want to use this method to limit our development. Once these red dots are killed, we will be in a situation where we can't make ends meet." Teacher Wu looked at the few gains today. , shook his head and said.
Shen Rui's team is very large, and of course the consumption is equally huge.
This is different from the game. The high-level cavalry in the game can get away with eating some bread every day. It is completely different from reality. In reality, a high-level knight similar to the one in the game requires the annual income of several villages. Talent supplies, armor, horses, attendants... these all consume a lot of manpower and materials.
When these cavalrymen with fifth and sixth levels of physical skills first joined, they relied on their own savings to support themselves.
It was regarded as bringing their own weapons and dry food, but as nearly a year passed, it was transformed into Shen Rui's own semi-private team, living together and fighting together. They no longer had time to go out and raise supplies on their own, so it was up to people like Shen Rui to solve the problem. .
Not to mention anything else, the daily food consumption is huge.
Without the supplement brought by attacking aberrations, many people would not be able to gather together on such a large scale. They would have to disperse to various places as before, work on their own, obtain cultivation resources from various places to support themselves, and maintain slow progress.
If more than 600 mid-to-high-level cultivators want to be brave and diligent, they need to consume a large amount of exotic animal meat, which is more than 10 to 20 kilograms per person per day.
If you just maintain your cultivation level, you only need 2 to 5 kilograms. Even if you eat a lot of ordinary food, you can barely maintain your cultivation level. After all, they do not have Shen Rui's perfect state, and the corresponding particle requirements are also greatly reduced.
This is just like the sophisticated weapons of mankind. Although they are powerful, they are also expensive to maintain. In comparison, the maintenance costs of those crude and low-power weapons are low.
Now they are provided according to the best method, which is more than 10,000 kilograms of exotic animal meat every day. This kind of consumption is absolutely terrifying.
A pound of exotic animal meat costs about 10 yuan, and one day's food expenses are 100,000 yuan in circulation coupons, which is 3 million yuan a month.
Not to mention that these are just people, there are also horses. Those exotic horses cannot be fooled by eating weeds. It turns out that one horse can eat far more than many people. This is because they are horses and eat grass. Animals can maintain their cultivation without eating meat.
If it weren't for the fact that he killed a large number of aberrations during the winter tide and stored them in Luzhou, Shen Rui would never have been able to support such a large team for a long time.
Now, part of his daily income comes from team quotas purchased from castles in province L, which pay him regular monthly supplies; the other bulk comes from various trophies from daily battles.
By relying on war to support war, his team can continue to grow. Without this premise, he would have to rely heavily on support from various places, and would lose his semi-autonomous power.
You have to listen to whoever eats your food. This is an eternal truth.
"What Teacher Wu is saying is," Ouyang agreed, "They are so cunning. They are going to hit our weak point. We must find a way to solve this problem."
"The joint action of the aberrations is now nearby. If we move out, for example to the far north, which is a barren land, can we break through their blockade?" Shen Rui asked.
To be fair, he didn't want to give in to the opponent's threat at all. However, he had to care because his men and his cavalry came from different fortresses.
If the castle they are in is attacked, can they still stay in the team?
Xia Daxue nodded and said: "The higher-ups are helping us study and solve this problem. After all, they don't want us to be tied down. Our battle will not stimulate the growth of material production. At least this year and next year, L Province will The material production can be increased several times."
"Well, let's be patient for a while. We still have a lot of supplies from a while ago, at least enough for us to last another year and a half." Shen Rui made a decision.
