Chapter 59 The Dwarf's Rapid March
More than an hour later, Zhui Feng came back with the Nightmare Centaur.
The miner zombies that Chen Wei had just transformed were on their way. Judging from the speed they were going, it would take more than six hours to reach the dwarf village.
"Zhui Feng, you have nothing to do now. Go look around to see if there is any edible food. We have added a group of dwarves, so food will be a problem."
"Okay, I'll help those short legs look for things, but I'm just looking for them, they can't steal our oats."
Zhui Feng knew very well how much dwarves eat, and there were so many dwarves here, what if they couldn't find anything to eat.
"Okay, I will think of ways to provide them with food, but I have to deal with it these days."
Chen Wei also had a headache. He even had the idea of killing all the lava dwarves and turning them into undead.
But think about it, apart from being large in number, the undead actually don't have any strong combat power.
In the end, he gave up the idea and honestly considered where to find food.
In addition to food, Chen Wei also has to consider another issue, that is, transportation.
The number of troops under his command is not very large yet, and his logistical supplies can still cope with it.
But as Chen Wei's troops grew larger and larger, food became the key to the war.
It is impossible for all of Chen Wei's men to be undead. The synthesized natural disasters may be demons, machines and insect swarms.
In addition to machines requiring energy, demons and insects are both big eaters.
Without a strong enough supply team, Chen Wei could drag himself to death.
"We need to find a hero who will be responsible for transporting food and supplies."
Chen Wei was thinking about this matter in his mind, but he also understood that this matter was something that could only be met by chance. After all, in the current situation, it would be good to find a hero. If he wanted to designate a specific direction, that would not be possible at all.
possible.
While waiting for the miners' walking corpses to come over, Zhui Feng and the Nightmare Centaur searched the nearby woods.
I didn't find anything else, but I found a lot of edible fruits and mushrooms.
Except for Zhui Feng who sent some fruits to Chen Wei, he collected all the other fruits.
In his words, this is to supplement food for his brothers. Dwarves don't usually eat fruits. They can't pick fruits at all. They just eat mushrooms.
The dwarves really couldn't refute Chai Feng, but mushrooms were fine, at least they were edible, unlike stone pancakes, which were not edible at all.
After the food and other things were prepared, Chen Wei asked Zhui Feng to go to Yeyong Town again and bought some ale from Wheeler, which was considered as a way to boost the morale of the dwarves. As for the effect, Chen Wei was a little unsure.
Sure.
Because the wine in the hands of the undead was so weak that it had almost no taste.
Six hours later, the zombie miners finally returned to the team.
Chen Wei and the others also organized their troops and set off to the next place.
At this time, Chen Wei's military strength changed again.
Zhuifeng's men were led by 6 extraordinary level 1 nightmare centaurs, plus 14 drones that were unable to fight at all, making them the weakest unit.
Stanford brought 41 extraordinary level 2 miner zombies, 33 extraordinary level 2 torch zombies, and 11 extraordinary level 1 ordinary zombies.
Chen Wei himself brought 17 extraordinary level 2 skeleton soldiers, 46 extraordinary level 2 lava dwarves, 6 extraordinary level 2 dwarf shield guards, plus a skeleton wall and a bone treasure chest.
There is also a mount White Bone Beetle.
This adds up to a total strength of approximately 176 people.
Compared with the nearly 200 soldiers when Chen Wei sent troops from the cemetery before, it was much less.
But the combat power is still maintained well.
At least the presence of the lava dwarves gave Chen Wei the confidence to fight head-on with more powerful enemies.
After reorganizing his troops and bringing supplies, Chen Wei quickly set off.
This time Chen Wei did not ask Stanford to conduct a forced march or anything.
No matter how slow the zombies move forward, they are not much different from the dwarves.
The zombies could march quickly, but the dwarves had no such method. In the end, Chen Wei and the others could only move forward slowly at a speed of three kilometers per hour.
Moreover, every two hours of walking, the dwarves had to stop and rest for an hour to replenish water and food, so as not to encounter any sudden situations and be unable to exert their full combat power.
Since Zhui Feng only had six Nightmare Centaurs under his command, he had no way to get rid of Chen Wei and rush outside. He could only follow Chen Wei and talk to each other.
"Zhuifeng, how do the elves use these dwarves? Their marching speed is too slow. It is impossible to recruit enemies every time they go to a place."
"There are many ways to do this. It's not a problem to find a few transport teams two to three hundred miles away and load three to five hundred people at once. Let me tell you, the dwarves are actually pretty fast. The elves'
Tree people are called slow.
Their movement is to uproot, move forward, take root and uproot again. They can walk one kilometer in an hour which is quite fast.
If there is no transportation ability, the elves will not fight anymore.
For medium distance, you can use a mobile fortress or something similar. That thing moves at a speed of five to ten kilometers per hour, but it can take away a city and even grow vegetables on it.
You can keep walking forward and go very far, within a range of about three to five thousand miles.
As for the farthest one, the elves also have teleportation arrays, but teleportation arrays that consume a lot of money generally don’t send cannon fodder troops, but only legendary units like Treants.”
"What about supplies? When the elves recruit, will they take care of the food?"
Zhui Feng laughed when he heard this, "Guan Fan, are you kidding me?
As long as the elves don't eat you, it's already considered good. The reason why our tribes are willing to obey the elves' recruitment and send troops is because we obey the elves' orders, and we are considered to be part of the elves' group.
This way, when the elves want to eat meat, they won't set their sights on you.
This is called paying a blood tax. We are different from the dwarves. The dwarves can pay other taxes besides the blood tax, but we cannot, we can only pay the blood tax."
Having said this, Zhuifeng immediately became energetic and said, "I must change the fate of our centaurs. I will lead the centaurs to get rid of the control of the elves. What the centaurs pursue is the wind of freedom, not some bullshit blood tax."
As Zhui Feng spoke, he started running, and the nightmare centaur beside him also ran around.
It's just that his so-called free wind can only blow to within a hundred meters. If it breaks out of the range of a hundred meters, Zhuifeng has to retreat.
He had promised Chen Wei when he set out that he would never escape Chen Wei's sight this time.
He will not have the right to lead his troops again until his troops are fully replenished.
What Zhui Feng wants to do most now is to let time pass quickly. As long as a week passes, he can go to the horse stables and ask for some centaurs to come back and combine them.
After walking some distance again, Zhui Feng finally laughed.
Chapter completed!
