Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead
Chapter 341 Gopher’s meritorious service
After seeing the rat-man commander's tactics of guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, and tunnel warfare, Li Ziyu even doubted whether the other party was a time traveler.
Are you playing too skillfully?
The opponent obviously has a deep understanding of tunnel warfare and must have experienced such tactics.
The tunnels dug by the ratmen are not only deep, but also short, suitable only for the coming and going of the ratmen. The size of the undead is not suitable for fighting in the tunnels at all.
Once inside the tunnel, even the Black Warrior is at the mercy of the Rat Man.
The Mechanical Evil Spirit Dog can get in, but this kind of undead has insufficient combat power, so it won't be of much use if it gets in.
The only one in Li Ziyu's hands that can pose a threat to the Rat Man who burrows into the tunnel is Zhang Peng's Rat Man.
They are also not tall, are equally good at digging holes, and also like to live underground.
He also knew that Zhang Peng didn't like letting gopher people go to the battlefield, but there was nothing he could do now.
If the gopher people are not allowed to go, they will only be beaten passively.
After a few words of advice, Zhang Peng sighed and reluctantly agreed.
The underground battlefield has opened.
The gopher men took over the undead's place and started a war with the rat men.
Originally, Li Ziyu and Zhang Peng predicted that if they could remain undefeated, it would be good. If they could tie with the Rat Man underground, it would be an outcome that exceeded expectations.
The fact is that the Gopher Man's fighting ability underground exceeded their imagination and gave them a great surprise.
If the combat effectiveness displayed by the rat people underground is expert level, then the combat effectiveness displayed by the gopher people underground is king level.
The gopher people taught the rat people a solid lesson.
Any tunnel that the rat people can pass through, the gopher people can pass through. Even though their bodies look chubby, they should not move too fast through the tunnels.
Li Ziyu's impression of the gopher people was still in the past. At that time, the gopher people had backward equipment and little courage, and they were just fighting against the five scum.
Ever since Zhang Peng joined Li Ziyu's camp, it was rare for the Gophers to go to the battlefield. Even if they did, they would rely on the combat effectiveness of the Gophers' fortress.
Neither Li Ziyu nor Zhang Peng actually made a correct judgment on the Gopher Man.
After having resources, Zhang Peng's fortresses were upgraded to the fortress level. After unlocking many technologies, the Gophers also changed their guns for guns.
Zhang Peng knew that the gopher people were naturally timid and showed a cowardly state in every battle, which made him mistakenly believe that the gopher people could not fight.
This time I saw it was completely wrong.
Just like fish, no matter how ferocious a fish is, if it leaves the water, it will become a piece of garbage on land.
But if they were put into the sea, they would become a group of extremely ferocious beasts.
The same goes for gopher people.
If they were on the ground, their combat effectiveness was indeed very poor, and they were very timid. They would cower in front of most races.
But when they got underground, they seemed to have returned home, and the fighting power they displayed was extremely amazing.
They are talented at digging holes, and the speed at which the ratmen dig holes is completely incomparable to that of the equipped gophermen. It is several orders of magnitude behind.
After Zhang Peng's upgrade, the Gophers not only have an advantage in digging speed, they can also rely on various means to transform tunnels.
For example, first expand the tunnel into a maze in a short period of time, then use magic to build walls to increase the difficulty of the maze, and then design traps.
Oh, by the way, tunnel trap fighting is the gopher people's real fighting method.
The Rat Man had just dug a tunnel, but the Gopher Man destroyed it when he entered.
After digging for a while, he turned around and saw that the rat man was confused.
I remember just digging a few tunnels, but how could they become so connected? Where are there so many forks in the road and where are the exits?
Even the rat people who like to live underground cannot escape the gopher people's tunnels.
Not to mention, while walking, I was attacked out of nowhere.
The gophers almost never have to fight the ratmen head-on. As long as they expand the tunnels and arrange traps, their mission is completed.
When you first start fighting the Ratmen underground, the Ratmen will appear for a while and fight the Ratmen.
Later, they discovered that the Rat People were a group of idiots, a group of idiots who had given up on underground tactics. Their underground performance was far below the Rat People's expectations.
There is no need to confront them head-on, because the rat men cannot avoid their traps.
The Rat Man was tricked.
Got tricked by gopher people.
It's a terrible trap.
Often a group of ratmen would hide underground, waiting to attack the undead, and then disappear without a trace.
Either they got lost underground and couldn't get out, or they were all killed by the Gopher Man's trap.
Li Ziyu, who was still thinking about developing the ability to fight undead underground, gave up immediately.
There is no need to research and develop, the gopher people are enough.
The Rat Man was defeated underground. The Gopher Man felt that he was bullying the children, forcing the old commander to give up the idea of tunnel warfare.
"Peng, you said you gopher people can't fight? Are you not strong in combat?"
"How little do you understand the race under your command."
"Good guy, this record is better than my undead army."
Li Ziyu looked at the battle reports one by one and couldn't help but sigh with emotion and laugh at them.
Zhang Peng's half-dead face showed a rare complex expression.
He really didn't expect that the Gopher Man would perform so well and be so brave when he arrived at the underground passage.
"It's my fault. I was careless and didn't realize how powerful my men were."
"It's a good thing, isn't it? Now the Rat Man's tunnel warfare has been cracked."
Zhang Peng scratched his head and said with a smile.
Li Ziyu glanced at him and suddenly smiled, "It's not that the tunnel battle has been cracked, but that they are going to be unlucky."
Seeing Li Ziyu's smile, Zhang Peng knew that he was going to cause trouble again, and quickly asked, "What do you want to do? I want to remind you that the gopher people under my command are not as large as your undead army. When Not the main force."
Li Ziyu raised his index finger, shook it, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since the gophers under you are so brave underground, then we don't have to worry about anything. The gophers don't fight underground anymore, so we can fight. We can open up an underground battlefield."
After being reminded like this, Zhang Peng suddenly fell silent, lowered his head, chewed his fingers, and thought seriously.
Underground battlefield...
Underground battlefield?
Underground battlefield!
Yes.
The Rat Man is no match for the Gopher Man underground. Now that the Rat Man has given up on tunnel fighting, he can in turn force the Rat Man to fight with him in the tunnels.
Isn’t this the time to take advantage!
Zhang Peng's eyes suddenly lit up.
He felt that what the boss said was indeed a good idea.
Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing all came together with Li Ziyu.
But along the way, the roles they played mostly had nothing to do with the battlefield.
Liu Xingxing is responsible for finding treasures, mineral veins, resources, and drawing maps.
Zhang Peng is responsible for transactions, commerce, and intelligence.
When it came time to fight, Li Ziyu most of the time would not let them extend their hands.
On the one hand, they know that the races under their command are not suitable for fighting, and on the other hand, they are afraid that they will be injured.
Li Ziyu and the undead tribe under his command are like a big umbrella, covering them from wind and rain, surviving and growing again and again.
Zhang Peng knew very well that if he had not met Li Ziyu and the undead under his command, he would have been dead long ago.
He was able to survive and develop to the present level entirely because of Li Ziyu's existence.
Sometimes, Zhang Peng really feels that he is quite useless and there is not much he can do to help Li Ziyu.
Although Li Ziyu never cared about it, and even often said that he could obtain resources entirely because of Zhang Peng.
But Zhang Peng knew in his heart that if he traveled to another world and wanted to survive, he would not rely on business or resources, but on combat power!
They are a tyrannical race, and only a strong army can make them unscrupulous and give them a better life.
And a powerful army is something Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing do not have.
If it can't help on the battlefield, it's of little value.
It's not that Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing don't want to help, it's just that they are powerless.
This tunnel battle made Zhang Peng realize again that the Gopher Man was not that simple. It was just that he had thought wrong before and did not put the Gopher Man in the correct position.
Fighting underground does not rely solely on his gopher fortress, but on the gophers under his command.
They are not as cowardly as they are above ground.
The gopher people in the tunnel are full of confidence and their fighting power is terrifying.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Peng raised his head and said seriously to Li Ziyu, "Boss, look after it. The underground battlefield is left to me. I will take care of it and make sure those rat men learn a lesson."
Li Ziyu looked at the determination in Zhang Peng's eyes, laughed, gave him a thumbs up, and asked him to work harder.
……
"Gopher people, well, that's a problem. They're better adapted to life underground than we are."
"It's normal for you to fail. I won't blame you. We can consider other methods."
"Those gopher people are not simple. We have to be more careful in the future."
"Also, I don't quite understand why there are gophers among the undead tribe?"
"I remember that there are no gophers in our race. Where did these gophers come from? Are they brought by the undead?"
In the temporary combat conference room, many Ratmen officers were sitting around the long table, and the old commander was sitting in the main seat.
He picked up the water glass, took a sip of the warm juice, frowned slightly, neither slow nor slow, his tone was neither high nor low, and he analyzed it very gently.
The recent battle reports are not good news.
The team of ratmen who were released to prepare for a tunnel battle with the undead were attacked by the gophermen and suffered heavy damage.
Realizing that something was wrong, the old commander quickly withdrew all his teams and reorganized their arrangements.
The appearance of the Gopher Man surprised him.
The Ratmen are a very large race, a collective term, and there are various branches within the Ratmen.
Gopher people are actually one of the branches of rat people.
However, the rat people in the central zone do not include gopher people. This branch is not in the central zone.
The old commander had read a lot of information, especially information about the various branches of the rat race.
Each branch of the rat race has some strange innate abilities.
The gopher man's talent is focused on digging holes.
They are natural underground strategists.
In underground fighting, even among the rat people, few could compete with them.
Just look at their name, they are called gophers!
People just play underground.
According to the data, the gopher people even once established a large and powerful underground kingdom.
Living in that kind of underground kingdom, one can never leave the underground for a lifetime and never go above ground.
The Gopher Man had a brilliant life.
For some unknown reason, they did not come when the rat people entered the central zone. The rat people in the central zone lacked the gopher people branch.
There is no doubt that when various branch races of the rat people encounter the gopher people underground, it will definitely not be the gopher people who suffer.
Gopher people are extremely good at digging caves. They can dig caves like mazes, making it difficult for others except themselves to find the correct route through the maze.
In addition to digging holes, gopher people are also good at modifying plants.
The original gopher people lived on the roots of plants, and later developed to modify plants.
It is said that the method of transforming underground edible plants by the rat people was learned from the gopher people.
However, the rat people have learned it after all, and they are far behind the gopher people's method of transforming plants.
The gopher people not only modified edible plants, they also developed many special plants, such as moss that can glow, vines that can grow into houses on their own, and can resist carnivorous plants from outside.
In a sense, the Gopher Man's innate skills are three: digging holes, transforming plants, and making traps.
Plant modification focuses on three aspects, fungi, vines and flowers.
Fungi refers to mushrooms, and the gopher people have modified various types of mushrooms that can be used. This is simple, and there are many weird mushrooms.
For example, there are parasitic spore mushrooms that can spray spores, parasitize the body, and quickly absorb nutrients from the host; explosive mushrooms that can explode and spray poisonous mist; corrosive mushrooms that stick to the ground and spray acidic venom; there are Red stripes, magical flame mushrooms that form a sea of fire when touched, and more.
Vine-like plants used by gopher people for construction and defense.
For example, house vines that can wrap around themselves to form a space; python vines that look for enemies on their own like snakes; thorns with spikes that suck blood; giant wood creature vines that wrap around each other to form tree-men, and so on.
In addition to ornamental and edible flowers, there are also many carnivorous flowers.
For example, the piranha flower has a big mouth and will be preyed on as long as someone passes by; the death honeypot flower secretes sweet water, but is very dangerous, and is like an enlarged version of the pitcher plant, etc.
Finally, when it comes to traps, they are the gopher people's favorite method of combat.
According to the information, the Gophers are not good at frontal combat. They like Yin people and are very good at setting up various traps to kill the enemy without even knowing where it is.
All in all, this is a group of guys who can do whatever they want underground.
Because there is no gopher branch in the rat race, many rat men don't even know about the existence of gopher people. Only people like the old commander who like to read books know about it.
The other officers had no way to give an answer to the old commander's words, because they didn't know either.
"Commander, tell me, what should we do now?" an officer asked.
After all the previous experiences, they already trusted this old man, put away their rebelliousness, and listened carefully to the commander's orders.
The other officers sitting there all looked at the old commander, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"Let me think about it, we must first relieve the city-state." The old commander said slowly.
The officers were silent, they did not dare to disturb the commander.
In fact, the old commander is also a little worried now.
It’s not easy to handle.
The guerrilla and ambush strategy that the Skaven were once proud of was restrained by the opponent's dog-shaped undead.
And if you open a battlefield underground, you will have to face the gopher people.
After fighting for a long time, it seemed that the front side had an advantage, but in fact it was not a big advantage. The undead were not injured because there were too many of them.
On the other hand, in this regard, I have no advantages above and below ground, and I have to face so many undead, which is very tricky.
The only thing that can be relied on now is probably that the Ratmen are better than the undead in terms of long-range weapons.
This is something that the undead cannot make up for at the moment.
However, using long-range firepower to fight the undead means precise deployment, and the casualties will be serious.
