Chapter 872
872 Transport, battle strategy (1)
The Holy Dragon city’s transport agents were special combat personnel selected from all the cultivators in the city to assist the Holy Dragon city’s military operations!
Their main task was to use large-capacity storage equipment to transport supplies to the Holy Dragon city’s Army in the front line. They had a rather important responsibility.
There was no doubt about the importance of the transportation of supplies, so the Holy Dragon City also attached great importance to the selection of transportation operators. Only after passing various tests and passing the test would they be qualified to be equipped with storage equipment!
When they first heard that transportation agents were equipped with storage equipment, countless cultivators immediately rushed to sign up. During the test, none of them gave in and they all used their full strength.
After all, for cultivators in loucheng, storage equipment was very attractive, and storage cards could not compare to it!
Moreover, compared to ordinary cultivators in the city, these transport messengers were not only equipped with exclusive weapons, but their welfare benefits were also correspondingly higher. They were even equipped with special skill cards provided by the city Lord himself!
Those special cards were extremely powerful, and there weren’t many of them. If one didn’t have a certain amount of battle merits, they couldn’t be exchanged.
However, once one became a transport envoy, they could be equipped with such a special card for free, which would increase their combat power rapidly.
It would be strange if the Holy Dragon City cultivators did not fight for the various benefits they would receive after becoming a transport envoy!
However, the Holy Dragon city’s demand for transportation officers was extremely high. Not only did they have to have combat power that far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, but they also had to master many special skills to cope with special situations.
Therefore, at the beginning of the selection, 90% of the cultivators from Lou Cheng were eliminated due to the competition of combat power. In the subsequent tests, more cultivators were eliminated one after another.
The ten Lord-ranked cultivators who were going to the water world were the first batch of transportation agents selected.
As for Wang laoqi who was guarding the cave, there was no doubt about his combat power. It was just that his ability to operate technological equipment was very poor, so he was filtered out during the selection.
As the Holy Dragon city’s technological equipment gradually became more and more common, and even Warframes and weapons began to be equipped with technological equipment, if one could not operate these equipment proficiently, their combat power would definitely be greatly reduced!
He couldn’t pass Wang laoqi’s test, so he had no chance of getting the position of transportation officer.
Because of this matter, Wang laoqi had been holding a breath in his heart. Now that he saw that these brothers he was familiar with had become transportation agents, he naturally would not have a good expression!
At this moment, the ten transport messengers had already crossed the door of light. Then, they took a speedboat that could speed on the surface of the water and headed quickly toward the location of the sacred Dragon Legion.
The ten Overlord cultivators looked like they were only carrying weapons and equipment, but in fact, they had a terrifying amount of various materials in their storage bracelets. As long as they could successfully Rob one person and take out those materials, they would definitely become rich overnight!
Of course, compared to those resources, the most precious thing was the storage bracelets that these cultivators carried. In the current Savage war zone, it was definitely a treasure that was hard to find even with ten thousand gold!
In the vast sea, the floating metal Island of the Holy Dragon City was quietly anchored, looking like a Super Monster crouching on the sea.
The Holy Dragon city’s floating metal Island didn’t continue to advance. Instead, it stayed in the sea area where the Mastiff Dragon Tribe was. They gathered and organized all kinds of information they had just obtained to formulate their next battle plan. They also trained the newly recruited servant army.
At first glance, the Holy Dragon City seemed to want to use the lost clan at sea as cannon fodder to reduce the casualties and material consumption on their side.
However, if one were to analyze it carefully, the matter was not that simple.
It was true that using the servant army in battle could indeed reduce some unnecessary casualties. However, with the Holy Dragon city’s current long-range attack ability, they would not give the enemy a chance to approach.
Moreover, compared to obtaining battle credits, the Holy Dragon City could afford the consumption of such weapons and ammunition in the short term.
However, the problem was that the water world’s area was extremely large, and there were also many remnant races from the sea. Once they faced the Holy Dragon city’s threat and joined forces to launch a counterattack, even the Holy Dragon City would not be able to withstand it.
Once such a situation occurred, Holy Dragon City would be in a very passive position.
According to the information he had just received, the Mastiff Dragon Tribe wasn’t very strong, and the sea they were in was a remote area with pitifully few resources.
The tribes with rich sea areas had stronger combat power and were more difficult to deal with. They definitely couldn’t be taken down as easily as the Mastiff Dragon Tribe!
Most importantly, it was impossible for Tang Zhen to put hundreds of thousands of Holy Dragon city’s soldiers here. If that were to happen, the consumption of logistics and resources would reach an extremely terrifying amount. After a long time, Holy Dragon City would not be able to support it.
As for the use of weapons like nuclear bombs, Tang Zhen directly rejected it.
Firstly, this would destroy the items that could be exchanged for Battle Points. Secondly, if the number of nuclear bombs detonated exceeded a certain amount, it would cause an unknown change, which might make the advancement mission even more difficult to complete!
Therefore, Tang Zhen didn’t have many choices. This was also something that gave him a headache.
When the other towers faced the level 8 overseas battlefields, they would use the means of nibbling away at them and complete the advancement mission bit by bit.
It was absolutely normal to spend decades for this.
Tang Zhen did not have much time to waste. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to use another method.
That was to recruit a large number of the sea’s remnant races, provide them with weapons and food, and make them work for the Holy Dragon City.
At the same time, the Holy Dragon City would also act as a merchant, allowing the sea’s lost race to use those special items to exchange for various resources. They would gradually train those vagrants on the sea to become Pirates.
When these Pirates possessed sufficient strength, they would take the initiative to attack those tribes and snatch the items that Tang Zhen needed without Tang Zhen’s guidance!
As long as the entire Water World was in chaos, and all the tribes were dragged into it, then the Holy Dragon City would be able to fish in troubled waters. They would definitely receive unexpected results!
In order to carry out this plan, the cooperation of these remnant clans on the sea was necessary. Therefore, old Fisher and some other sea travelers entered Tang Zhen’s sight.
These travelers on the sea were extremely hostile to the tribe. If they were given enough benefits, it would not be difficult to get them to cooperate.
If they were the ones to take action, with the Holy Dragon city’s Secret support, the plan would undoubtedly progress even more smoothly!
Tang Zhen had already ordered people to do this. It was estimated that in a few days, old Yu and the rest would secretly set off to carry out the operation.
At this moment, a Holy Dragon City cultivator walked in and informed Tang Zhen that the transport envoy had arrived.
Tang Zhen stood up when he heard this. This was the first time the Holy Dragon city’s transport Messenger was taking action. As the Lord of a city, he had to show his face no matter what.
When they arrived at the center of the floating island, the ten transport agents were already standing together and respectfully saluted Tang Zhen!
“Everyone, you’ve worked hard!”
Tang Zhen looked at the ten transport agents in front of him and greeted them with a smile.
Although the transportation mission this time was very easy, it didn’t mean that it would be the same in the future. As the battlefield got further and further away from the main camp, especially when the existence of the transportation envoy was known by the enemy, they would definitely think of ways to ambush and kill him!
Therefore, the role of a transporter was considered a high-risk military branch, and ordinary cultivators were really not qualified for it!
After chatting with these transportation officers for a while, Tang Zhen retreated to the side and let the transportation officers release the supplies they had brought.
Soon after, under everyone’s gaze, a small mountain of resources appeared out of thin air. Most of them were weapons and ammunition, as well as food and transportation.
Moreover, nearly half of the items here would be provided for the recruited travelers on the sea.
In particular, the huge wooden rafts made of light wood could carry a hundred people. It was the transportation tool that Tang Zhen had specially prepared for the servant army.
Usually, these huge rafts would be pulled forward by the metal floating island, and during battle, they would activate their powerful thrusters and instantly turn into a warship!
As for the light wood used to make the giant raft, it was a kind of tree that was a special product outside Holy Dragon City. The material was light but tough, and it had a pretty good buoyancy.
This kind of tree was originally from overseas. However, after the Holy Dragon City won the level 7 overseas battlefield, Tang Zhen directly moved a large area of the forest outside the city wall.
This kind of light wood was the main tree in the forest. It was tall and straight, and could be seen everywhere in the forest. There were as many as you wanted!
