Chapter Eighty-two Encounter with Mountain Wolves

  The puppets of the public country have a certain combat effectiveness, but can only be used for training. In the end, it is because their adaptability to the environment is too poor and their sustainability is too weak.

  However, the puppets of the Spirit Kingdom do not have such weaknesses. They can adapt to various terrains and have strong endurance. The most valuable part is the core hub that mimics the casting method of real magicians, which can even directly absorb magic from the air without relying on artificial replenishment.

  It's imaginable that if such a puppet army were to be created and suddenly deployed on the battlefield, it would bring tremendous advantages.

  No fear, no dread of swords, precise execution of orders, one day's march is a thousand miles, no need for supplies, this is undoubtedly the most ideal troops for commanders.

  However, Mide also knew very well that such a valuable thing was still far from being considered "inherited", and at best, it was about the same level as the treasure obtained by Mide and Fina, Alice two years ago.

  The real treasure is still in the Spirit King's Court, and now it absolutely cannot be relaxed!

  Midi thought so, and his eyes also burst out with sharp light.

  "If there's higher-level equipment that can be replaced, replace it immediately. Herbs and skill books can be carried, as well as related documents, but discard the heavy ones." Midy said bluntly.

  These words were like a basin of cold water, poured over the heads of the crowd who were excited and about to start looting.

  As the undisputed strongman, Midy's authority was naturally not to be challenged lightly, and in fact, he had never made a mistake. However, with so many treasures in front of them, the crowd couldn't bear to give up, and they all turned their eager eyes towards the only heavyweight figure who could converse with Midy.

  "It's such a waste to lose something so valuable like this." Odell spoke up, looking at Midy with an expression of difficulty.

  She still held a small but heavy piece of Cold Ice Steel in her hand. Firearms made from this material had almost no cooldown time, allowing for continuous firing as long as there was enough ammunition. For a wandering gunslinger, this was the ultimate material.

  However, facing the half-elf's pleading eyes, Mi Di shook his head and changed the subject: "Have you heard of the 'Raze Wind' and 'Barren Fire', these two automatic pistols?"

  "Railgun? Sounds like that handgun from 200 years ago that could slow down a wide area, and the Wildfire can accelerate the bullets it shoots and give them an explosive effect." Norton blurted out beside him.

  "It's said that both pistols are now in the Spirit Kingdom." Mide said slowly, "Other mercenary groups have already entered the kingdom ahead of us. Time is of the essence. The Cold Ice Steel may be good, but by the time you find a Master Craftsman to make the guns, it'll be next year's New Year's Eve! Even if you manage to create pistols with no cooldown, what chance do you have against opponents wielding Jie Feng and Huang Huo?"

  Odelle's face changed color, of course she knew how many wandering gunmen existed in the other top mercenary groups.

  Strength is a relative thing, and although the Ice Steel Pistol is good, it's nothing compared to the magic pistols of Ji Feng and Huang Huo.

  "Similarly, compared to the puppet manufacturing technology in this magic tower, there should be a more perfect inheritance in the royal court, including finding and mining corresponding ore veins, smelting, as well as design and combination ideas." Midi continued.

  This time, those craftsmen who were fond of materials also fell into a thoughtful expression.

  "Abandon everything that cannot immediately enhance our combat strength and speed up the exploration!" Midei said once again, this time without anyone objecting.

  Unencumbered by heavy equipment and large war prizes, the joint force made rapid progress over the next few days.

  With Odelle's command and Middy's backup, there will be no unexpected situations in the battle. As for the environment and monsters of the Elf Kingdom, the team members have also become more and more familiar with them, and their exploration speed has been continuously improved.

  Of course, Mide didn't feel complacent about this, because he was very clear that the other top mercenary groups must have been familiar with this area long ago. To catch up with the competitors who were vying to be the first to enter the Elf Kingdom, they had to be perfect in every detail.

  Fortunately, Mi Di had the advantage of rebirth. Although he didn't obtain the inheritance of the Elf King's Court in his previous life, it was because it had already been plundered clean. As for the Elf Kingdom itself, he was quite familiar with it.

  And with Norton and other master craftsmen present, whether it's deciphering various forbidden spell arrays or using all sorts of ordinary adventurer tools that have never been seen before for exploration, they possess unparalleled convenience.

  With these two conditions, Mide can completely choose a best route to go to the satellite city with transmission array.

  "That's the city in front."

  Five days later, Midy said with a certain tone.

  Through the telescope, he had already seen the scenery in the city. A huge palace stood upright in the center of the city, and twelve square pyramids were erected around it, looking like a multitude of stars surrounding the moon.

  Although the palace collapsed by half in the great disaster of Tianhuo, and the square spires almost all fell down, even so, it can still be felt that there is a luxurious atmosphere. Moreover, the layout of this satellite city is exactly the same as the layout of the building complex where Midie passed through the transmission array.

  There's no doubt that the teleportation array is inside this building known as the "Moonlight Temple".

  Once again consuming two emerald leaves, the joint team smoothly passed through the corridor and then swiftly marched towards the central satellite city in a tight formation.

  However, at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the Moonlight Temple, like thunder hitting everyone's eardrums, and the ground shook constantly. Then, a black mushroom cloud rose from the great hall.

  "Someone's in a fight!" Odelle and Middy exchanged a glance, no words needed, the whole team immediately sped up!

  The two teams soon appeared in front of Middy's eyes.

  One team was at a disadvantage, barely defending themselves, with members' equipment being different from each other, full of adventurer's characteristics. The other team, on the other hand, had the upper hand, advancing coldly and unemotionally, their equipment looking uniform and organized, like an army marching in formation.

  The team with the upper hand is Blood Blade Mercenary Group.

  "That's the Mountain Wolf Mercenaries, and they're actually being suppressed to the point of not being able to lift their heads!" Odelle's tone was full of surprise.

  It's worth noting that the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps is one of the most skilled in terms of tactics and formations among all mercenary corps. It even has a military strategist position, and its leader, the mage who is currently waving the command flag in the midst of battle, is extremely knowledgeable about large-scale combat.

  But it was such a first-rate mercenary group that was being suppressed. Odette couldn't hide the shock in her heart for a moment.

  Mi Di's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression also became extremely solemn.

  He certainly wasn't worried about the Mountain Wolf Mercenaries, nor would he have any reservations about this bit of strength from the Blood Blade Mercenaries.

  His expression turned grave because he suddenly realized that the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps was attempting to blow up the entire Moonlight Temple!

  The loud explosion just now was clearly not aimed at the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group, but rather an attack on the palace. Under this attack, the building that had already been hit by a meteorite and collapsed halfway was now on the verge of collapse. At this moment, Blood Blade obviously had no intention of stopping, while suppressing the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group, they also divided into several small teams, constantly transporting black gunpowder into the Moonlight Palace, apparently preparing for a second explosion.

  There is no doubt that their goal was to destroy the transmission array.

  "Attack." Without hesitation, Midei immediately issued the order.

  With this sound, he had transformed into a gray shadow, like an arrow off the string, and rushed towards the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps.

  The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps also discovered Mide's movements at the first time.

  The conductor obviously had excellent judgment, and as soon as he saw someone daring to charge alone, he took a look at the suddenly appearing Morning Star Mercenary Corps and immediately judged that the unassuming young man in front of him was the terrifying enemy who had single-handedly brought down the base.

  He then dispatched an entire hundred-man reserve corps to deal with Midy - not expecting to be able to defeat this formidable strongman, but simply in order to delay time.

  This hundred-man squad, led by a vanguard of heavily armored holy knights wielding massive tower shields, is followed by roaming gunners skilled in rapid firing and munitions experts equipped with various hand grenades and disruption devices. Among them are also the Phantom Dancers adept at phantasmal arrays and Exorcists skilled in anti-magic, clearly forming a team specifically designed to entangle high-level opponents.

  In Mi Di's eyes, silver flames danced, and in an instant, he had laid out several ghost arrays. However, the effect was not ideal.

  Those holy knights had already taken up advantageous positions using their charge skill, blocking the path between Midy and Moonlight Temple. Even if they used Ice Bind to slow them down, it would be pointless, and the ice shards that came with it, which had a killing effect, were almost ineffective against the holy knights' strong defense.

  And the attack's Dark Flame Formation, at the same time it rose up, was countered by the opponent's Ghost Cry's Ice Bind Formation, the flames didn't even have a chance to exert their power before being extinguished by the large amount of cold ice.

  As for the Shadow Array and the Plague Array, they were dispersed by the Demon-Expelling Monk, and the entire defense was almost flawless.

  On the contrary, those ammunition experts hiding behind the holy knight's tower shield threw out various types of hand grenades, from flashbangs to magnetic grenades to freeze grenades and so on. These large-range attack grenades, combined with the roaming gunner's full-open fire scattering, suddenly slowed down Middy's speed.

  Of course, winning is not a problem. For such a turtle-like opponent, it can be completely worn down by walking around and nibbling bit by bit. Once a weakness is exposed, it can be killed in one go, causing it to collapse directly.

  But Meddy didn't have that time.

  As he watched team after team of people frantically carrying explosives into the palace, Middy finally decided to use his true power.

  All he saw was the silver flame in his eyes converging into a fine beam of light, and the next moment, Mide's wrist shook, and a sharp aura burst out from the Black Sky Sword in his hand.

  Extreme Sword Technique!
