Chapter 1004 - 565: Chen Rui and Zong Ze During the Campaign Period

This is a process of mutual balance.

However, Chen Rui is not without advantages in this region.

In contrast, Zong Shen is not so focused on unifying the regional lords.

He adopts a relatively gentle annexation strategy.

As for Chen Rui in this regard, he is more aggressive.

Chen Rui has now united over half of the lords in the region.

Due to the difficulty in quickly upgrading the legion level.

Therefore, he adopted an alliance system.

With his innovative "Revenant Legion" at the core, he united twenty or thirty sub-legions.

Forming a relatively tight alliance entity.

His layout for this matter can even be traced back to the Burrow Challenge period.

Thus, as of now, over half of the lords in his area have been united by him.

This can be seen at the scene of the Flame Demon Expedition.

Every time the Flame Demon Boss launches a magma offensive.

The warriors under Chen Rui’s command would issue an evacuation reminder in advance.

He accomplished this by relying on his experience from the previous life, combined with observation and summary.

Can detect the attack trend and direction of the Flame Demon Boss three to four seconds in advance.

Whenever a reminder is issued, the lords around Chen Rui would retreat in unison.

Avoiding the attacks of the magma rain and scorching rays.

While the lords on the other side are relatively scattered and loose.

These scattered lords belong to dozens of different small legions.

Among them, there are still some "independents" not yet part of any legion.

Though Chen Rui’s actions are swift, uniting all the regional lords still has a way to go.

His strength in this region is not low.

Yet, he doesn’t have Zong Shen’s wide fame.

The lords from Earth are not as easily gullible as the indigenous people on the continent.

Popularity is a big advantage in subduing lords.

If Zong Shen put some effort, he could complete the regional unification earlier than Chen Rui.

Clearly, Zong’s interest is not here.

For Zong Shen, unifying the region is just an inevitable process.

No need to accelerate it intentionally.

Putting more energy into the development of the territory and relic exploration.

Can enhance his strength faster.

This is Zong Shen’s truest thought in his heart.

Chen Rui contemplates the matters regarding Zong Shen.

In the formation not far in front of him, the majority are stone-throwing soldiers riding wild boars.

This is also a distinctive troop type in this region.

They are the Tusk Stone Throwers of the ancient Stone Pig Tribe.

Barely count as a kind of roving cavalry.

Their attack method is to use a catapult to throw stone blocks the size of a baby’s fist.

The maximum range is only 80 meters.

Can cause certain blunt damage to the target.

These Tusk Stone Throwers stand only about 1.5 meters tall.

Broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with rugged features.

Their noses are very distinctive, large and round.

They appear like close relatives of Dwarf Warriors.

The Stone Pig Tribe and Desolate Wolf Tribe are almost extinct on the continent.

Now they appear as a distinctive troop type in the region.

The damage of these stone-throwing soldiers is not high, but the cost of their attack is extremely cheap.

A piece of stone can produce ten stone throws.

Compared with arrows and crossbow arrows, their ammunition consumption is virtually cost-free.

Whenever there is a signal indicating the Flame Demon is about to launch a counterattack.

These guys will ride their gray-skinned wild boars and madly flee.

Chen Rui is already used to this.

He even prepared a dedicated logistics system.

A large supply of stone ball ammunition is sufficient.

Besides these Tusk Stone Throwers, there are various cavalries from the Kujite Empire.

Unlike the neighboring Rodok Kingdom.

The cavalry of the Kujite Empire, especially the mounted archers, are considered unparalleled.

This is also related to the geographical environment of the two countries.

Most of Rodok Kingdom is mountainous terrain.

While only a small part of Kujite Empire is mountain land.

The rest is the southwestern plain of the continent.

It is also the second-largest plain on the continent.

The first plain is the Bomeles Plain in the center of the continent.

That’s where the Swadia Kingdom is located.

Plain areas have always been a breeding ground for cavalry.

Speaking of Rodok Kingdom, Zong Shen’s lucky dog brother Zong Ze cannot be ignored.

By now, Zong Ze has finished today’s expedition.

Their region’s expedition speed is even slightly faster than Chen Rui’s region.

This is because there are quite a few strong lords in Zong Ze’s region.

Besides Zong Ze himself, two other lords also have good development progress and strength.

Nearly half of Rodok Kingdom is mountainous.

These mountains are rugged and hard to traverse.

But there are also many relics and abundant mineral resources.

Even collecting wood is convenient.

In addition, the most famous troop type of Rodok Kingdom is the shooter.

Therefore, the lords within the Rodok Kingdom domain have the shooter as their advantageous troop type.

Apart from Rodok Crossbowman.

They also have the region-specific Tier Two distinctive troop type.

Mountain Giant Troll Spearman.

These guys are robust, standing about two meters tall.

Their skin has a faint blue sheen.

Strong muscles, notably prominent in strength attributes.

They are naked to the waist, crushing wildflowers into paste used as paint applied on themselves.

Rugged and slightly ferocious facial features, their lower jaw resembling an orc with two protruding tusks.

Their hair is styled in a Mohican fashion, slightly yellowed.

Their comprehensive attributes are higher than those of the Wolf Cavalry.

Their pure strength attribute is almost comparable to Tier Three Infantry Warriors.

Their life value is also high.

The main attack method is throwing short spears.

Possessing the "Frenzy Throwing" skill.

Can greatly increase throwing power and speed.

Their spear-throwing power is strong, even comparable to the arrows shot by Tier Four Rangers.

Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.

These guys also have severe drawbacks.

The cost of attack and efficiency concerns.

A bag of the most ordinary "Black Iron Spears" contains only ten.

The tips of these spears are made of black iron, and the shafts are crafted and polished wooden handles!
