Global Plunder: Start with Heart of Darkness

The foundations of the Temple of War and Steel Battle Fortress are a bit lacking. Currently, they are both at the ninth level of silver, only one step short of gold.

Even Mei Ninghua's Sky City has developed to Silver Level 7 in a short period of time, and its strength has grown rapidly.

Of course, the five newly added golden civilizations of the human race are younger brothers than Gu Yu's Ankong clan.

The light of civilization not only helps a lot in the development of the race, but also plays a great role in improving the fire of civilization.

Last Friday, Gu Yu built the third Light of Civilization in Centaur territory.

Although the Fire of Civilization of the Dark Sky Clan is still at the eighth level of gold, it has been greatly improved, and it is not far away from reaching the ninth level of gold.

In addition to the help of the Light of Civilization, the magic tower research led by Jonesfield has also greatly improved the civilization of the Dark Sky Tribe.

In a short period of time, Gu Yu's magic book has added several second-level magic skills, which greatly helped his combat power.

Moreover, the number of magic apprentices in the territory has tripled, and more and more people can master magic.

In Jones Phil's report to Gu Yu today, he made it clear that the Magic Tower is training a magician unit.

Gu Yu is looking forward to this very much.

As the magic tower achieves more and more achievements, this new magic unit will become more and more powerful.

However, when it comes to promoting the advancement of the Dark Sky Clan's civilization, it is undoubtedly Starry Sky City that has made the greatest contribution.

Military research institutes and medical research institutes are contributing to the scientific and technological progress of the Dark Sky Clan every day.

There are giant gas springs, high-quality pig iron, and rare resources such as Shadow Steel and Dragon Steel.

The weapons and equipment of the Starry Sky Gate are greatly enhanced in power.

Swann, Kader, and Aurel are all weapons research and development madmen, full of unlimited enthusiasm for powerful arms.

Gu Yu himself also has the talents of mechanical proficiency and firearms proficiency, and often goes to Starry Sky City to study with a few people.

Since some magic and alchemy are involved, Jonesfield, Serig and Gargamel will also be involved.

With the joint efforts of several experts, the technological level of Starry Sky City is improving with each passing day.

The machine shop has successfully built a Vulture mine-laying vehicle, which is as fast as a chocolate running at full speed.

The average speed of Bray reaches one pill per minute.

The power of land mines has been improved by bomb expert Aurel, and a single mine has the power of silver level nine.

If more than a dozen landmines explode at the same time, even the gold level will be life-threatening.

However, there are differences among everyone regarding the next direction of research and development.

In the conference room of Star City, several technical backbones were arguing loudly, their faces flushed with excitement.

"We should continue to develop firearms and create gold-level firearms so that a large number of ordinary soldiers have the ability to kill gold-level warriors."

Kader is now a spokesperson for the Musketeers, a die-hard fan who expresses his views strongly.

"I think research and development should be invested in vehicles, and after mine-laying vehicles, tanks should be developed in one go."

Swann had a different opinion. He believed that the role of creating tanks was more important than developing firearms.

"No, no, no, you are all wrong. The weak point of our Ankong tribe is not the army, but the air force. Without the ability to dominate the sky, we will not have the ability to win a war.

Therefore, our next research and development direction should be aircraft and building an air force! "

Aurel took an even bigger step and actually proposed the development of helicopters.

This is not because Aurel is whimsical. In fact, he has been doing research in this area.

After chatting with Gargamel about the goblin airship, Aurel's idea became stronger.

Moreover, Swan also said that the future development of interstellar civilization must be oriented towards the sky, including spacecraft and rockets.

Therefore, Aurel insisted on developing a helicopter and determined to become a dwarf flying a plane.

While Gu Yu was watching Aurel's excited speech, he was very suspicious of this guy's motives.

Could it be that the dwarf cavalry was stimulated because they could not find a suitable mount, so they actively requested to build an airplane?

But in the face of everyone's fierce passion, Gu Yu couldn't attack too hard.

"What everyone said makes sense, and I support you all very much!" Gu Yu began to talk to Xini.

"Chief, do you support the development of firearms, tanks, or helicopters?" Swann refused.

Uh-huh!

Three pairs of eyes were staring at Gu Yu with burning eyes.

They all know that the Dark Sky Clan has limited resources and cannot support three scientific research projects at the same time.

Therefore, the final decision-making power still lies in Gu Yu's hands.

Yes, you can't hide.

Gu Yu had no choice but to think seriously.

"Our current firearms manufacturing technology has reached a bottleneck. If we break through, there will be a qualitative leap. However, it may be stuck for a long time. It is difficult to say when."

"The direction of tank research and development is indeed more stable. Although there are still many shortcomings in technology, we can achieve great results in a short period of time.

It's just that the investment cost of tanks is too high, and with the current resources of the Dark Sky Clan, it's still a bit difficult. "

"As for airplanes, well... there are still gaps in our technology, and the technological accumulation required cannot be achieved in a short time.

Moreover, the investment is more than we can afford now. "

After a long time, Gu Yu finally raised his head and looked at the people present.

"I decided to focus on research and development of firearms first. This is the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness!"

"The war is coming. Arm all the people. This is our priority."

"From today onwards, I will build three more arsenals, focus on producing firearms, and sell them to all the forces in the Land of Shattered Sky."

"We must not only improve our own combat effectiveness, but also arm our allies and use their money to conduct scientific research."

"With weapons and an army, we can plunder the tribes, plunder the civilization of Tianyuan Continent, and enhance the fire of our civilization."

"When the time comes, it will be best if we can make breakthroughs in musket research and development. If we cannot make breakthroughs, we will develop tanks and aircraft at the same time. I will build a research institute for each of you!"

The more Gu Yu talked, the more excited he became, and his impassioned expression soon infected everyone.

"The patriarch is right, let's take it step by step, first arm ourselves, then rob, and then do research and development. When we are stronger, we will rob the richer ones!"

Kader jumped onto the chair and shouted excitedly.

"Just follow the clan leader's advice. The research and development of the tank can be postponed until we have sufficient resources. It won't be too late to develop it again."

Swann also smiled and nodded, agreeing with Gu Yu's proposition.

"Okay, then I will develop a more powerful machine gun first, which can also be used on helicopters in the future."

Aurel rubbed his beard and quickly locked on his target.

Immediately afterwards, Swan chaired the meeting and continued to discuss firearms research and development projects...

Gu Yu was originally planning to share his views with everyone, but then he received a message from Mei Ninghua.

"Illidan's trace found!"

Last time, Gu Yu asked Mei Ninghua to find Tyrande to track down the whereabouts of Illidan.

Meninghua then visited the night elves and asked Tyrande about Illidan's whereabouts.

Tyrande had complicated feelings about the King of the Night.

She didn't want the Dark Gold Lord of her clan to fall, but she also hated Illidan's betrayal and ruthless killing.

If Illidan hadn't suddenly killed Ravencrest and massacred the tribesmen in the Dark Night Territory, perhaps the Dark Night Castle would not have been broken.

At least the night elves will not be defeated so miserably, with only a few thousand people left now.

Illidan's serious injury and escape was actually a good thing for Tyrande, as she no longer had to face this problem.

When Meninhua asked about Illidan's whereabouts, Tyrande held a ceremony to worship Elune despite her reluctance.

Illidan has strong night elf blood in his body, and this ritual is very effective for blood tracing.

So Tyrande quickly got Elune's guidance, and Illidan was hiding in the northwest of the Fallen Star Swamp.

Although there is no clear location, it is much easier to trace it with the general area and direction.

A large number of scouts were sent to the Fallen Star Swamp to explore along the northwest direction.

Brothers Baili Shouyue and Baili Xuance are the commanders-in-chief of this operation.

There were a thousand gopher scouts alone. Phantom Assassins and Succubi each dispatched one hundred.

There is also a dragon fly with twelve poisonous flies, cooperating with the action.

Fallen Star Swamp is now the tribe's key defense area, and the defense is quite tight.

However, the Fallen Star Swamp is too big, and the tribe can only guard key areas, while the defense in other places is relatively weak.

If it were an ordinary army, it would be difficult to enter the Fallen Star Swamp without being discovered.

The Baili Brothers' scouting force is very special.

The 100-man Phantom Assassin team they personally led were masters of stealth and well-trained, and could easily bypass the tribe's defense lines.

Gopher scouts are small and inconspicuous, and are mainly capable of burrowing into the ground.

As long as they are not looking for death and break into an important defense area with a magic barrier, ordinary defensive levels are of no use to them.

As for succubi and poisonous flies, they can both fly.

When you are in a good mood, it will fly far away from you. When you are in a bad mood, it will fly directly over your head and no longer fly over your head. This is considered polite.

Why don't you shoot with arrows?

They were flying higher. They weren't planning an air raid. What kind of ultra-low-altitude flight were they doing?

As long as they don't encounter gold-level experts or flying soldiers, they are basically safe.

Of course, with so many scouts running to the Fallen Star Swamp for reconnaissance, casualties and battle losses are inevitable.

In the past few days, the gopher scouts had suffered the most losses, with more than 300 dead.

More than a dozen Phantom Assassins and Succubi died, and even two poisonous flies died.

The Baili brothers had been careful to avoid the large tribe troops along the way, and quickly dealt with the small groups of enemies.

With the local poisonous fly team as guides, they passed most areas with ease.

In the few unknown areas with danger, gopher scouts are always allowed to take the lead and visit the areas first.

Illidan's hiding place is very hidden. If there weren't a large number of gopher scouts searching all over the place, it would be difficult to find him.

After the news came back, Gu Yu frowned.

It would be easier if Illidan was hiding in the Skyshattering Land or the Chaos Forest.

He can deploy calmly without worrying about tribesmen coming to cause trouble.

But the Fallen Star Swamp is very troublesome, as it is the tribe's key troop garrison territory.

Moreover, Illidan's hiding place is only a few dozen miles away from the outside passage. If the noise of the battle is louder, the tribe will definitely notice it.

"What is he hiding there for? Is he planning to break out of the passage and enter Tianyuan Continent?"

Gu Yu speculated on Illidan's purpose.

Isn't this guy seriously injured and on the verge of death?

Why don't you just recover from your injuries? Why are you so close?

Gu Yu was helpless and had no choice but to order to continue monitoring and not take action for the time being.

Now he no longer believed the rumors that Illidan was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Regardless of whether Illidan is faking it or has super resilience, the Dark Sky Clan is not suitable for frontal confrontation now.

As long as the mid-level dark gold venerable maintains more than 30% of his combat power, Gu Yu will not be taking advantage, but seeking death!

He'd better wait and see what happens.

Having said that, Gu Yu decided to go to the Fallen Star Swamp.

This time when I went out, I mainly wanted to personally explore the situation at the entrance. If there was a chance, Gu Yu wouldn't mind going out to visit Tianyuan Continent.

In addition, the Shadow Steel and Long Steel at home are almost gone.

Back then, Gu Yu traded two resources from Ravencase, each worth 100 units.

Building a military camp costs 20 units each, and when recruiting troops later, each one requires 1 unit.

Now six weeks have passed, both the Barbarian Warriors and the Amazon Female Warriors have recruited 72 people each, that is, 72 units.

The remaining 8 units, Star City and Blacksmith Workshop, all consumed one point.

Currently, there are only one or two units of Shadow Steel and Dragon Steel in stock.

This is already the result of Gu Yu's careful calculation. If he hadn't stopped those scientific research madmen, the recruitment resources this week would not have been enough.

Gu Yu also tried to obtain these two rare resources through diplomatic means.

Because the war in the Land of Birth has ended, the trading market has resumed its functions, and now trade is becoming more convenient.

It's just that the Ankong tribe has friendly relations with several races, and there is no trade between these two resources.

Gu Yu contacted Durotan, but Durotan couldn't get the goods. The situation of the Frostwolf clan was not good, and life was difficult in the tribal camp.

Gu Yu also found nothing from the night elves and lizardmen. The wealth of these exiled forces was a bit weak.

Originally, two kinds of resources should be available from the three major human forces.

But it was no secret that Gu Yu urgently needed information about Ying Gang and Long Gang.

Before the relationship broke down, Gu Yu had been asking around about Ying Gang and Long Gang.

He basically asked all the major forces within the human race who had had transactions with Gu Yu.

At that time, the three major forces may not have paid much attention to it, but now Gu Yu's status is very different.

Careful people have already analyzed all his actions, and they are eager to use a magnifying glass to find his flaws.

So when Gu Yu asked Wang Dong and Xuejian to go to the three major forces to purchase resources, they were all clearly rejected.

Wu Yiping even said directly that if Gu Yu gave up his intention, he would notify Guldan to completely control these two resources.

What could Gu Yu do? He was helpless.

Who made him offend others so cruelly? Now it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.

If you don’t give it to me, I’ll get it myself!

From the intelligence analysis obtained by Gu Yu, these two rare resources may be available in several places.
