Chapter 173: New War Beast: Azure Wind Dragon
Li Qing now has 526 dragon bloodlines in his hands, most of which were transformed from the one million ogres he exchanged before.
The last time he transformed the lava crystal dragon, he only used 100 dragon bloodlines and one source of light.
This time is no exception. The 100 dragon bloodlines can directly transform its bloodline, and then use the light of origin to activate the upper dragon bloodline deep in the dragon bloodline.
Li Qing had never heard of the superior dragon bloodline awakened by this Wind God Pterosaur. It was called the Cangqing Wind Dragon, a superior dragon clan that controlled the wind.
Its rank remained unchanged, still level eight, and its height when its wings were spread was about 120 meters, but both its body and wings were stronger than before.
The previous Quetzalcoatlus was equivalent to a large bat, with no flesh on its wings.
Now that it has been promoted to a blue wind dragon, its body shape has become somewhat like that of a dragon, it is thicker, its wings have become like a giant dragon, its scales are green, and a blue gust of wind is always surrounding its body.
The ability of the Blue Wind Dragon is to control the wind, and it can also breathe dragon breath, but it only has one kind of breath.
It's called the Breath of Disintegrating Wind, and it's a breath that can weaken the opponent's defense and resistance.
The force field aura of the Azure Wind Dragon is called the Wind Realm. When it is turned on, enemies within the range will be slowed down and will be cut by wind blades at all times.
Promoted from a wind god pterosaur to a blue wind dragon, the strength of this war behemoth has skyrocketed N times. Not only is the power of its wind blade much stronger , its endurance is also stronger.
Li Qing positioned Him as a bully, specifically to deal with enemies weaker than Himself on the battlefield.
He will live with other dragons on the mountain behind the city. His daily task is to hover near the city and kill the ferocious beasts that approach the city.
After defeating the dinosaur tribe, Li Qing changed his previous low-key attitude and called a meeting of all his subordinates.
"Due to special reasons, we need to change our strategic approach."
At the meeting, Li Qing stated his plan directly:
"Let me tell you a piece of news that shocked me when I first heard it. Due to an accident, the transit base fortress outside the plane group has collapsed, and His Highness Chun Yu An has fallen."
Everyone was stunned as he expected.
An Erqiu was the first to react and asked:
"Boss, why did the main base collapse? How did it collapse? Did the indigenous gods break in?"
"It was a powerful deity from the Mind-sucking Monster Heavenly Fate Empire that descended and shattered the main base with one blow. His Highness Chun Yu An, who was in charge of the main base, perished along with the main base."
"So what do we do now?"
"We also have powerful divine power descending to stop the enemy. The mentor contacted me earlier and asked us to stay safe until the matter is resolved."
"Then why do you want to change the plan..."
Suddenly, a light flashed in An Erqiu's eyes, and he asked in surprise:
"Boss, His Highness Chun Yu An has completely fallen. Does this mean that this plane has no master?"
He was surprised and said:
"Boss, do you want to seize this plane?"
Li Qing nodded seriously and said:
"As you all know, this plane is very suitable for us. It is more important than the main plane. We could only envy it before. Now that His Highness Chun Yu An has fallen, we have a chance."
"Indeed, this plane is too suitable for us."
All the men nodded and began to discuss in low voices.
Li Qing sat at the top and watched them discuss the matter without interrupting them.
After a while, Xie Zhu suddenly asked:
"Boss, you want to change your strategy. Do you want to clean up the area around our base and wipe out those dinosaur people first?"
Li Qing nodded:
"Although these dinosaur natives are primitive, their population is so large that they can be easily controlled by the mind suckers. It would be very troublesome if they suddenly attack us when we are at war with Savage City or the mind sucker war lord in the future."
Xie Zhu nodded:
"It's indeed a problem. Although these dinosaur people are still in the transition stage between the Stone Age and the Iron Age, they are powerful individually and pose a considerable threat when gathered in numbers. We should wipe them out first. Not only can we reduce the threat, but we can also obtain spoils and accumulate combat experience through killing them."
An Erqiu also nodded and said:
"It's a good opportunity to train a wave of soldiers first. We have too few soldiers now."
"Defending the city is not a problem, but if we want to expand, the current batch of soldiers is too small. We need to train at least 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops."
Li Qing nodded:
"Don't worry about that. There are still hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Divine Realm. It won't be a problem to squeeze out 30,000 to 40,000 new soldiers."
Fortunately, the social structure within the divine realm is a dictatorial supply system. Because the population is too small, a sound social system has not yet been established. All the subjects are equivalent to his private property. As long as they are well fed and watered and not overly exploited, it is not a problem for 100,000 people to support 50,000 troops.
In ancient times, dozens of households supported one soldier because productivity was too low. After deducting the cost of farming for a year, their own food and taxes, there was very little left.
His divine domain farms and ranches have complete internal facilities and tools, and the key seeds are specially cultivated by agricultural experts from the main world, and the yield per mu is very high.
Only a small number of people are needed to farm and produce enough food to feed a large population with some left over.
The food grown on just one floor of the Divine Realm Farm can supply 54,000 people, and 162,000 people on the third floor. Adding the meat from the Divine Realm Ranch, it is still enough to feed the current population and army of the Divine Realm.
But it's a stretch, any more won't be enough.
So now all the dragons are free-range and go out to hunt on their own.
In addition, Li Qing plans to take some time to develop the newly expanded land in the Divine Realm. It is such a waste to leave all the wasteland there empty.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is just a fence and building a house on it, it would be fine.
At that time, all the troops on the second and third floors of the ranch can be moved out, and then the second and third floors of the ranch can be replanted with pasture to continue raising more livestock.
After the meeting, all the subordinates knew about the dramatic changes outside the plane, and also knew about Li Qing’s current plans and future ambitions. They were all filled with passion.
As Li Qing's subordinates, if Li Qing becomes successful in the future, not only will their status and position rise, but they will also receive tangible benefits.
If Li Qing can seize this plane, it will be no problem for each of them to take an area as their own territory in the future.
If Li Qing can successfully defeat all competitors and seize the entire main plane in the future, that would be even more awesome.
By combining the resources of the entire main plane, deification is a foregone conclusion. As direct descendants of the elders, they will naturally have huge benefits that ordinary people envy.
A main plane can provide for more than one true god. If several of these elders can be promoted to legends in the future, they can get a part of the power of faith, slowly condense divinity and priesthood, and eventually embark on the road to becoming a god.
As members of the upper-level space dragon clan transformed by Li Qing himself, they knew better than anyone how terrifying Li Qing's future potential was.
His future potential is definitely at the top level of the entire human civilization.
It took almost half a month to convert the recruits, and a total of 35,000 recruits were converted.
Among them, there are 20,000 infantry, 10,000 long-range archers, and 5,000 cavalry.
Although cavalry is of little use in this plane, it cannot be without them. We should get them out first, let them dismount and fight in battle, and slowly accumulate combat experience. After more than ten years, they can be polished to the fourth or fifth level.
Once we conquer this plane in the future, it will come in handy when we attack other planes.
After the troops were trained, God's Domain began to change its previous strategic approach. A large number of teams were sent out to start clearing the jungle near the main city and clearing out a piece of open space first.
The jungle is so dense, and at a height of two or three meters, there are many things that can be hidden.
More than a hundred steel golems spread out and cut through the enemy lines.
Burn the vacant area to prevent the fire from reviving.
Then they sent out teams composed of space dragon descendants. After they transformed into half-dragons, their bodies were covered with dragon scales, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects in the lush jungle could not hurt them.
Their purpose is to go out and search for valuable magical plants and mineral veins in the wild jungle.
Since you are ready to conquer this plane, you can't just stay in the main city, you have to take the initiative to look for the rich mineral resources in the plane.
With the team's careful search, they discovered two mineral deposits in less than half a month, both of which were open-pit mines.
One is an open-pit coal mine and the other is an open-pit phosphate mine.
The coal mine was found in a primeval jungle. Li Qing rushed over and used war magic to see through the earth several times. He chose a location and blew a breath of dragon to wash the ground, burning all the plants and animals in a large area to ashes.
Then call in the Lava Crystal Dragon to dig the foundation within the designated area.
After surrounding the area in a circle, four 100-meter-long walls and eight arrow towers were built by hand to create a coal mine with a diameter of about 100 meters.
Then two hundred soldiers were transferred here to garrison, most of them were new recruits, with a small number of veterans, five space dragonborns and a giant space dragon stationed here.
There is no need for too many defenders. This location is not far from the main city. There are space dragons here. At critical moments, the space gate can be opened at any time to dispatch troops from the main city for support.
Phosphate rock is mainly used to make phosphate fertilizer to fertilize agricultural crops and increase yield.
This plane cannot be used for planting and it can only be used in the farms in the divine domain, and the demand is not high.
Therefore, the base was very small, with a diameter of only fifty meters, and a garrison of only one hundred troops and about two hundred miners.
At the same time, the reconnaissance team dispatched to the super-large dinosaur tribe also found a suitable place there to build a secret outpost and left the coordinates so that they could open the space gate and dispatch troops at any time.
The main city immediately began to mobilize troops, and a large number of space dragons who had been promoted to the sixth level rushed over first, opened one space gate after another, and teleported a large number of troops over.
It took a whole week to mobilize nearly 20,000 new recruits and 3,000 elite veterans.
The teleportation point they established was located between two giant peaks about six or seven thousand meters high. When Li Qing walked out of the portal, his first reaction was that this place was suitable for establishing a base.
The giant peak is about six or seven thousand meters high, and the width of the foot of the mountain is only four or five kilometers. The narrowest part between the two peaks is only about one thousand meters, and the widest part is about two thousand meters. If a wall is built at both ends of the canyon, it will immediately become a very high-quality base.
At this time, most of the troops have been teleported here, and the entire canyon has become a huge temporary barracks.
Li Qing sat in the temporary camp and looked at the map drawn by the reconnaissance troops, wondering whether to first clear out the small tribes on the periphery and then attack the central dinosaur city-state, or to destroy the central dinosaur city-state first and then clear out the periphery.
Suddenly, An Erqiu walked in with a look of joy on his face and said excitedly:
"Boss, guess what I just saw?"
Li Qing said casually:
"What did you see? Did you find a gold mine?"
An Erqiu smiled and said:
"There is no gold mine, but there is an iron mine."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, a look of joy appeared on his face, and asked:
"Where?"
"Hey, it's right under our feet."
Li Qing lowered his head in surprise, and An Erqiu smiled and said:
"An open-air black iron ore vein was discovered at the foot of the mountain on the right."
"Is there such a good thing? Come on, take me to see it."
The two men walked out of the camp and flew into the air towards a place on the edge of the mountain, where a group of men were already surrounding them.
Li Qing walked through the crowd and saw that the vegetation at the foot of the mountain was extremely sparse, with only a few trees and few weeds.
Li Qing took a closer look and found that the soil in this area was black with a metallic luster, which was almost exactly the same as the soil characteristics of black iron ore.
“It really is black iron ore!”
Li Qing immediately used war magic to see through the earth, flew into the air and looked around, and saw the rich reserves of black iron ore underneath.
Black iron is an extremely high-quality iron ore. It is harder than common iron ore, and the weapons made from it are more advantageous. It is in very high demand in the market.
"good!"
I was thinking about whether to transform this place into a base, but now I don’t have to think about it anymore.
They decisively asked the Laomo Lava Crystal Dragon to dig the foundation, and then manually rubbed out three sections of city walls and added them up. The total height exceeded 55 meters, which was no different from a mountain.
At this height, there is no need to rely on things like siege ladders and siege towers. It is impossible to build siege ladders that high. If you want to attack, you can only break down the door by force or fly in.
The main purpose of raising it so high is to reduce the number of troops stationed there.
This cliff meant that the indigenous dinosaur people had absolutely no way of attacking, except for pterosaurs.
Next, they will wipe out the nearby dinosaur tribes and pterosaurs. After the war, they will clean up the nearby wind god pterosaurs. By then, only a small number of defenders will be needed to ensure the safety of the mine.
Half a month later, the mining base was completed, and Li Qing finally found time to go further east to take charge of the overall situation.
An Erqiu had led his troops out a week ago, preparing to attack the dinosaur city-state.
When Li Qing arrived, An Erqiu's troops had just arrived outside the dinosaur city-state and were building a large camp.
Looking down from the sky, the dinosaur city-state was built around a huge high ground. Numerous buildings surrounded the high ground, sparsely spaced, and it was a very loose city-state.
In the center of the highlands, there is an extremely conspicuous huge stone temple, which looks like a pyramid, with a huge stone statue of a Tyrannosaurus head standing on top.
This means that the totem worshipped by this city-state is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
As we all know, Tyrannosaurus Rex could not fly.
But Li Qing was not very happy, instead he looked solemn.
Because even though he was so far away, he could clearly sense the vague and terrifying aura coming from the temple.
The totem they worship is a legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex.
