Anu and the others were brought to the camp to meet the elders in charge. When Anu and the others saw that there were several elders here, they were all wearing water and fire robes, and they were all over sixty years old.
Anu and the others quickly saluted with clasped fists. One of the elders asked Anu about their duties and then said to Yan Eryouxin: Yes, you are very good. We are in urgent need of people here. Ordinary disciples do not dare to come here.
.
Fighting is happening here every day, and it is very dangerous. It is good that you can come and join the battle as ordinary disciples. You can rest for a day first.
Familiarize yourself with the environment, and you will be sent out to fight the day after tomorrow. You must be prepared, as we elders will not be able to protect you.
The other party, Wanjian Mountain, also sent many Martial Kings and Wuhou to station here. This Wanjian Mountain is also a force comparable to our Vulcan Mountain in the Eastern Wasteland. The other party also sent many Martial Kings to contain us.
So when the war starts, you can only rely on yourselves. We have no time to make clones. Anu and the others also expected it, so there is no surprise.
After a brief conversation with the elders, we were taken to the rest area. This is where all combatants rest, including those at the peak of military generals or military ranks.
As soon as Anu and the others came in, they felt that this place was really no joke. The people here all had a strong murderous aura. This was a state they had not yet adjusted to after they had just retreated from the battlefield.
Only a handful of these people are disciples of Huoshenshan. Most of them are military generals and Wuhou mercenaries recruited from outside. These people are men, women and children. The younger ones are in their twenties, and the older ones are in their forties or fifties.
The old ones are also among them.
There were even two women in their thirties walking around the lounge with swords. As soon as Anu and the others came in, they attracted the attention of the Wuhou next to them.
Among them were two bald men with their clothes open. Wu Hou, who looked to be in his thirties, teased Anu and the others: Oh, did I say that you young men also came to fight and do missions?
You really need money rather than life. I see you guys with thin skin and tender meat. Have you ever killed a chicken? You won't be able to walk when you see the blood on the battlefield. We won't save you at that time.
Another one also said: Judging from the costumes you are wearing, they must be from Huoshenshan. Two days ago, a few elite disciples from Huoshenshan came to do the mission and were very arrogant when they came. But when they arrived at the battlefield, they saw that the scene had not even started and they ran back.
.
Haha, that funny look made even Lord Wu laugh across from him. You must be the same kind of thing, right?
Anu and the others heard that the words spoken by these two people were too unpleasant. When Yan Erxin and Ji Dong came, they were about to go forward and argue with these two people. When Kong Lu saw it, he quickly stopped everyone and said: "We are not familiar with the place where we are just here."
Don't stir up trouble, observe it for a day, and then make a decision.
Everyone had no choice but to endure this tone. There were many Wuhou generals nearby. Seeing Anu and the others endure it, they thought they were cowards and looked at Anu and the others with disdain.
What's more, they imitated the two bald heads and tried to bully Anu and the others. Anu couldn't bear the words in his heart.
He said angrily: "Everyone, please change your clothes. They look down on us people from Huoshenshan. Besides, it's not appropriate for fighting."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded immediately and changed the clothes worn by the disciples of the Vulcan Mountain into dark green sleeveless armor. This was the armor of the Gale Kingdom. When everyone touched this armor, they felt homesick for the country.
Anu dressed neatly, clenched his fists and said: Don't embarrass our country here, observe carefully tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be the time for us to go to the battlefield.
Everyone reached out their hands in a tacit understanding, and Anu also extended his hand and touched everyone silently. The people next to him saw that Anu and the others had put on their armors in a blink of an eye, and their eyes became more determined.
At this time, even the two bald heads stopped talking. They also felt that maybe these teenagers were not as miserable as they seemed.
Anu and the others ate dry food and returned to the rest area to sleep and conserve their energy. The next day, Anu and the others arrived at the central tent early, where the elders were assigning tasks to General Wuhou.
Every ten Wuhou can form a small team, and every twenty military generals can also form a small team. Each team has a number, starting from zero one and going back. Anu and the others found that there were dozens of teams.
In this way, there are two to three hundred combatants, and most of them are Wuhou. After all, the military generals' combat power is still very inferior when compared with Wuhou. There are only a few desperate generals who have formed a few generals.
squad.
Then the elders distributed these dozens of teams in various fortresses on the map, which were also the main distribution areas of black gold and iron ore.
These combatants are called mining area guards, as well as mining miners. The number of these miners is more than a thousand. Their task is to take advantage of the combatants on both sides to mine ore.
The black gold iron ore is not deep underground, but in the middle of the land more than two meters above the surface. In this mountain range, there is a semi-naked black ore. This black ore is the masterbatch for refining black gold ore.
Fortunately, the mining area guards from both camps will not kill the miners. Otherwise, no one would dare to mine ore.
The miners all wear uniform purple miners' uniforms, so that even if one side loses on the battlefield, the miners will not be in danger if they have no time to move.
You will just be hired by the other party, rejoin the other party's camp, put on the other party's miner uniform and continue mining with the team the next day. This is quite humane for the miners.
Anu saw that each team had been assigned. Anu and the others also looked at the combat map and sand table, and found an area with sparse mineral veins marked No. 13.
Anu and the others decided to observe Area 13 first to see the strength of the combatants on both sides and their fighting methods.
Anu and the others told the elders about their movements and after getting approval, they headed to area No. 13 with Yaner Youxin. Anu discovered that two groups of people were going to area No. 13 today.
A group of ten people
The Wuhou Mining Area Guard Team was formed, and one group was a mining area guard team composed of twenty generals. The two groups also led more than fifty miners each. Most of these miners were strong warriors.
Everyone is issued a Qiankun bag, a three-tooth rake and a bamboo basket.
Obviously they are all prepared for mining ore.
Anu and the others followed from a distance, and the two groups headed towards Area 13 together.
For more than half an hour, after passing through half woods and half rocks on a dark and gray surface, we arrived at the mine area.
Anu and the others stopped on a hillside a few hundred meters away. If they got any closer, they would lose more than they gained if they were discovered by the enemy warriors. Anu and the dozen of them also carefully observed the surrounding hillsides and their own Wuhou generals and miners.
responsibilities and actions.
A lot of areas here have been mined, and some areas have even been dug down to a depth of one or two meters. Over time, the entire area has been dug into a basin.
Marquis Wu and the generals drew their weapons very quickly to occupy the favorable terrain.
At this time, the miners put down the bamboo baskets quickly and started to dig up the black rocks on the surface with three-tooth iron rakes.
The rocks here are not all in one piece, they are mainly small pieces, some are as big as watermelons, and there are many as small as fists and eggs.
These miners pulled out the black ore and put it into bamboo baskets. Once the bamboo basket was full, it was put into the Qiankun bag. Anu and the others watched from a distance and understood the hardships of the miners.
At this moment, noisy footsteps came from another direction down the mountain. Anu and the others followed the sound and looked over there, and found that there were more than a hundred people there, most of them miners carrying bamboo baskets.
Their clothes were generally brown, and there were more than a dozen strong men from Wuhou leading the team, and they were walking here quickly.
Wuhou, who was taking the lead on the Fire God Mountain side, also discovered it, but he didn't panic. He said a few words to another group of military generals, pointed to some places, and then led other powerful Wuhou men around him to meet them.
other side.
When the two sides met, they didn't even say a word, they just charged at each other with weapons.
The remaining team of twenty generals also quickly sneaked towards the place pointed out by their leader Wuhou.
Kong Lu saw this and said: Did you see? They also know the formation. This is called the Liangyi Formation. One is in the light and the other is in the dark. When the one on the surface engages the opponent, the group of generals in the secret can wait for an opportunity to rush and kill.
Go over and catch the opponent off guard.
Anu's eyes lit up when he saw it and he said: Is it the same as last time when you led us to hold off Mohu and Qianjun?
Kong Lu said: Well, that's about it, but I also used the trick of doubting the enemy. Let's first carefully look at the opponent's overall strength and martial arts. We can also roughly know what the advantages and disadvantages are compared with us, so that we can prepare for tomorrow's mission.
Make preparations.
Anu and the others also crouched behind the rocks and watched carefully.
