The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 207 Twilight Harvest
Capturing the first rock crystal mine is very easy.

Rock crystal mines are very important to the inhabitants of the dark side, they can use them in all aspects of life.

Some people even eat food with a small amount of rock crystal minerals added to their diet, which is said to help them quickly increase their physical strength and improve their strength levels.

But because there are too many rock crystal mines, although they are not everywhere, they are all over the entire Eternal Darkness side, and it is easy to find new rock crystal mines.

Therefore, most of the rock crystal mines are unguarded, and the embodied army sent by Luke only needs to defeat the petrified slimes entrenched in the mines to complete the occupation.

He himself did not enter the side of eternal darkness at all, but seized the opportunity of the inconvenient mobilization of the Knights of Light. After taking down the first crystal bubble city, he led an army to raid the second crystal bubble city closest to him.

There is a big difference from the previous raid process. Luke did not directly lead the army to surround the Crystal Bubble City this time, but was alone, using the [Master of Disguise] skill to sneak into the Crystal Bubble City, and then began to manifest the army on the spot .

……

For the residents of the second crystal bubble city, the sudden appearance of an army of physical objects is no different from a doomsday disaster.

Those black, white, red, colorful, and all kinds of monsters suddenly fell from the sky, and began to frantically attack and demolish their homes, and drive ordinary residents like them out of the city.

Their lives were not threatened. Although those monsters were ferocious, they didn't bother to hurt them, they just took away the crystal bubble equipment from them.

But if anyone dares to resist, the monsters will immediately turn their backs and kill them with their sharp teeth, claws and various attack methods.

For example, the garrisons sent by Horus, the Kingdom of Light, had just organized a counterattack, and thousands of monster troops overwhelmed them, leaving only stumps and broken arms all over the ground.

In just two hours of Hebron's time, the second bubble city disappeared on the horizon, and the monsters who attacked the city and the strong Lord Luke also quickly withdrew from the light side. Entered the land of eternal darkness that made them extremely fearful.

……

Without the Knights of Light chasing after Luke, he just followed the established plan.

Entering the side of eternal darkness is not only to avoid possible pursuit, but more importantly, to harvest the rock crystals collected by the gold-eating ants in the first rock crystal mine.

The first batch of rock crystals collected was about 20 tons, all of which were used to strengthen Luke's level 9 gold-eating ant card.

Although Luke is most urgently in need of high-level combat power, the so-called "sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake", first increase the level of the gold-eating ants card, and then the mining efficiency of the gold-eating ants that manifests will be improved. He obtained the rock crystal efficiency will increase.

Otherwise, it would take 9 tons of rock crystals to strengthen a level 10 card to level 20, and I don't know how many tons it would cost to upgrade to level 60.

If he only needs to rely on the current level 9 gold-eating ants to gather, maybe even if his beard turns white, he won't be able to level up a single card.

The mining efficiency of gold-eating ants upgraded to level 10 has been greatly improved, and the number of rock crystals that can be collected each time is at least twice that of before.

Luke didn't wait foolishly in the rock crystal mine pit all the time. His time was very tight, and he had to seize every minute and every second to grab more rock crystal mines, especially in the current security environment where not many enemies paid attention.

If there are a large number of enemies pursuing him on the Yongdian side, the output of his rock crystal mine will be greatly reduced.

After sending ghosts and fickle cat demons to scout all the nearby rock crystal mines, and confirming that the danger is not great, Luke also sent ten gold-eating ants, ant slaves, worker ants, soldier ants, and a small number of mutated Fifteenth Ant warriors. Form a mixed team to occupy 10 small mines.

Most of these mines are abandoned mines. It is not cost-effective for the residents of Evernight City to collect them by themselves, but Luke's mixed team has no problem.

With the existence of gold-eating ants and ant slaves, he didn't need to pay a big price at all.

Gold-eating ants do not need food, and occasionally some eggs are needed for energy.

Other Fifteen Ton Ants need a small amount of food, and a single ant egg can keep them going for a long time.

As for the production of ant eggs, the soldier ants only need to lay down a nearby slime nest, let the ant slaves devour it and slowly give birth to it.

In this case, the mixed team sent by Luke can be completely self-sufficient in the mine, and the only thing to prevent is the sudden appearance of a large number of enemies, or the occasional slime rebellion.

But it doesn't matter, Luke has already made preparations. A patrol brigade composed of thousands of Fifteen Ton Ant soldiers and other arms, under the leadership of Fifteen Ton Ants, has done a good job of defending the mine.

Unless the Dark Guardian Brigade from Eternal Night City came, the mines would be very safe under normal circumstances.

In fact, even if there is a large group of enemies coming, the ghost scouts scattered around can give Luke an early warning, so that he can prepare in advance, whether to abandon the mine or form a counterattack.

……

After finishing the work of the rock crystal mine, Luke returned to the light side. This time he was going to do something big, and his goal was a medium-sized crystal bubble city near the dusk line.

According to the markings on the map, the first two are small crystal bubble cities, which can only accommodate about 3 people to live together at most.

The latest target is a medium-sized bubble city, enough to supply 30 people.

If it can be defeated, the income will be very considerable, at least more than 300 million Yuanli can be harvested.

However, benefits and risks are always relative. It is not so easy to take down a medium-sized bubble city. He must at least take down a Kingdom of Light garrison near the city.

The garrison was at least regiment-level, with a high probability of 1000 to 2000 soldiers, and their equipment was much better than the first two bubble cities that Luke had brought down.

There will definitely be heavy weapons such as heavy artillery and missiles, and there may be even more terrifying and difficult large-scale war machines.

If Luke didn't arrange a battle plan in advance and thought of entering the city alone and then blooming from all sides like last time, he would probably end up in ruins.

After thinking for a long time, Luke decided to adopt a more rogue tactic.

Weapons of mass destruction such as heavy artillery and missiles are indeed very effective, and they are also extremely lethal to his main force, the Fifteen Ton Ants, but he is not without any countermeasures.

Like infiltrating a garrison base with ghosts and fickle felines to create chaos from within.

For example, use more resistant units such as golden stone giants, blue dragons, and puppet puppets to attract firepower in front, and then use long-range units to destroy them.

Another example is that he also has a not very aboveboard, but very effective tactic - taking the residents of Crystal Bubble City as hostages, in order to threaten the Kingdom of Light's army from attacking his army.

Anyway, everyone knows that he never kills unarmed civilians, and those residents will definitely not fiercely resist his tactic.
