Star mushrooms are the main food source for dungeon creatures and one of the main light sources in the underground world.
This is what the elite thieves found in the underground passage.
According to Cook, a dog-headed military strategist, there must be underground creatures in such a large food source area.
In fact, this is also true.
A large group of dungeon level 1 troop cavemen, large and small caves, like a settlement.
According to feedback from elite thieves, there are approximately one and a half groups of cavemen in this settlement.
The troops in the game include 12 soldiers as one squad, 5 squads as one squadron, and 5 squadrons as one brigade.
One and a half battalions are 450 soldiers, which is indeed a lot.
But no matter how many low-level soldiers there are, they are just a pile of waste without the support of heroes. Behemoth alone can take care of them.
But this is not Tang Qi's main purpose. He wants to observe whether there are heroes or aboriginal-style soldiers among these cavemen.
The battle ended quickly, and except for these two prisoners, all the other cavemen turned into experience.
"Uh! I don't know!" Cook shook his head and said.
There is only one gate on the city wall, and there are 6 arrow towers on the city wall. The situation on the top of the city is difficult to see clearly.
"Uh! No... I don't know!" After Cook finished speaking, he shrank back, fearing that Tang Qi would kick him again.
"Haha! Bill, there is a name, it seems he has a background!"
If you want him to do his best, you have to add wine. There is no good conversation without good wine.
"Go away...!" Tang Qi was speechless. It seemed that this guy was unreliable, and he had no choice but to have no talent available!
This place should be somewhere else, maybe even under the command of a certain hero.
"The other one is good, the good one is very good!" Cook explained quickly, and personally brought the living one to Tang Qi.
"I...! What about the other one?" Tang Qi was too lazy to scold him.
"Miscalculation!" If you can't get a bargain, you need experience!
There was no danger on the battlefield, so Tang Qi ordered Hart's heavily armored dwarf troops to attack and end the battle as soon as possible.
The remaining troops continued to advance, following the marks left by the elite thieves.
If you don't get the information you want, you can only let the elite thieves take action.
"Oh, what did you ask?" Tang Qi continued to ask.
At the same time, Tang Qi also asked Kesery to leave a small team of skeleton soldiers to station in the cave, which could also be used as a field of vision when necessary.
This kind of thing should be handled by professionals, and Cook did not disappoint him. He soon brought back two cavemen with hoops that looked like rice dumplings.
They can fight and carry the tin cans, and their efficiency against Tier 1 troops is unparalleled.
Tang Qi didn't even bother to waste magic points to check the caveman's attributes.
"Yes, sir!" Cook got up and prepared to take care of the two prisoners again.
In addition to gaining experience, Tang Qi also harvested 36 units (1 unit = 100 quantity) of star mushrooms.
"What? Dead?"
These troops are enough to deal with the cavemen.
"Dead...one of them died!"
"Huh? Do you understand?" Tang Qi was a little confused. Can you understand this even though he screams like a ghost?
"Well, sir, they can speak the common language of the mainland! That guy has one and he says his name is Bill!"
Tang Qi couldn't help but use the primary reconnaissance skill to take a look, and found that half of the total 8 health points were left.
After Tang Qi arrived, he observed from a distance and found that this was a black city wall with a height of more than 6 meters and a length of about 250 meters, sealing the entire passage horizontally.
One caveman can't provide much experience, but the number is still considerable. No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they still have flesh!
Ding! System information: "Dear hero, your leadership has reached the upper limit, and you have rejected the caveman's surrender request!"
"I want to run away!" Tang Qi ordered Cook to let the Wolf Cavalry surround them, but don't kill them.
"Where?" After it was confirmed that it was a city, Tang Qi definitely couldn't let it go. This idea was definitely going to be made.
"Uh, I can't take it with me!" Cook said cautiously.
"No...no!"
A unit with a name and a surname is an intelligence second only to heroes.
Tang Qi understood it as soon as he talked to Cook.
The Wolf Cavalry is currently the fastest unit among Tang Qi's forces. In case of danger, they can rely on their speed to escape.
Generally speaking, aboriginal-style troops, together with such a large number of cavemen, should have a stronghold to manage these star mushrooms, just like the farmers Tang Qi recruited.
Looking at this broken section of wall, Tang Qi, who had no siege equipment and no flying troops, had absolutely no idea what to do about it.
"Holy shit, can it still be like this?" Tang Qi didn't expect such a result!
Tang Qi asked Kaiseri's skeleton soldiers to carry the two cavemen prisoners, and sent a team of Wolf Ranger cavalry to open the way together, leading the elite thieves to scout for information.
"Sir, these two guys belong to a nearby city. I don't understand what they are called. Anyway, it is an underground city. They are subordinates of the city lord of the underground city and specialize in growing this kind of mushrooms here!"
The Behemoth beast killed the cavemen one by one with one claw, and the cavemen were bleeding like rivers.
"They're all a bunch of drunkards, not a single one of them is useful!" Tang Qi cursed secretly.
Tang Qi did not have any underground city troops under his command, so his vision in the underground environment was limited, and he did not dare to get too close without knowing the situation.
"What's wrong?"
"Holy shit, why don't you ask? Ask those two to lead the way!" Tang Qi raised his hand and kicked it, can you rely on it?
The speed of the Wolf Cavalry is more than twice that of the cavemen, and the attack damage is also sufficient. Basically, one sword is used for two. It is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables to deal with enemies who just want to escape.
Ding! System information: "Dear hero, affected by your talent, 72 cavemen have issued a surrender request to you. Please accept it!"
Tang Qi couldn't hire Mocott, and free coolies weren't that easy to use.
Dungeon troops also belong to the scope of evil forces. With their natural attributes, there is a chance that they can be forced to surrender.
The journey went quite smoothly, and I didn't encounter any wild monsters or enemies in the dungeon.
Tang Qi followed the path he came from to deal with various situations at any time, and be careful to use the Wannian Ship!
Also got this guy's full name, Riley Klass.
Not long after, Tang Qi received information feedback from the elite thieves and had discovered the underground city, but their way was blocked by a section of city wall.
"That?"
Tang Qi didn't understand the caveman's language, and Cook and the others didn't understand either, but they still had to put it to trial!
Cook is also good at interrogating and training, so leave it to him!
In desperation, Tang Qi withdrew his troops to a safe distance and planned to interrogate the two prisoners in person.
When did you, Uncle Cook, get angry like this? You must find them out!
Kaiseri Tang Qi did not let him attack the cavemen. His joining the battle while not in the legion would affect the post-war evaluation.
Regardless of the low level of the cavemen, there are still several units among the farmers with good special skills. There are also some good units among the cavemen!
In addition to the entrance route, this passage has two forks. Tang Qi ordered Cook to guard the two forks with the Wolf Cavalry detachment.
After allocating troops and deploying them, Tang Qi ordered Cook to let the Behemoth beast attack.
"Yes, it is a city, a level 3 city!" Cook replied affirmatively.
For the Behemoth, the caveman's occasional 1 point of damage is not as fast as its battlefield recovery, and basically does not pose a danger.
You can't surrender, you can't recruit, but you can still take prisoners! Just like when you captured Cook.
"Sir... Sir! No... Use it!" Cook said hesitantly.
These caves were not the settlements that Tang Qi imagined, but temporary shelters dug by cavemen and places for temporary food storage.
"I...! If you're not dead, let me carry you away!" Tang Qi lifted up and kicked him again.
Based on the reconnaissance feedback from the elite thieves, Tang Qi noticed several special cavemen on the edge of the battlefield.
Tang Qi tried to let the elite thieves hide and conduct reconnaissance. Although they got close to the city wall, they couldn't get any useful information even though the way was blocked.
There was no suspense before the battle began. After more than half of the cavemen were killed or injured, most of the remaining ones were affected by the Dark Moon talent and began to flee.
"One is disabled!"
Ding! System information: "Dear hero Dark Moon, congratulations on your legion's victory in the battle. The evaluation is average. The hero gains strategic experience points +672, and the legion can allocate strategic experience points +896!"
At level 3 strategy, he can lead 7 squads of troops, and the surrendered cavemen have 6 squads, which is simply not enough, not to mention that both he and Cook are at full strength.
I don’t know how Cook did it. Tang Qi looked at it and it was indeed a bit miserable. They still have a few pitiful health points like this. Can you believe it?
"Separate them and interrogate them one by one!" Tang Qi thought about using the method of interrogating prisoners learned from TV dramas, interrogating them one by one, and then comparing their confessions. He could also use mental hints or scare them.
When the Behemoth approached, a large group of cavemen rushed out of various caves and surrounded it.
After bursts of screams, Cook came back: "Sir, those two guys have confessed!"
"Oh! Underground city, are you sure?" Tang Qi became interested when he heard it was a city.
"Come back!" Tang Qi stopped him and wanted to ask something else!
"Have you asked about the military situation of that level 3 city?" Tang Qi asked.
There was no need for Tang Qi to take action. As soon as the prisoner Riley saw him, he approached the system master and sent a surrender request.
Tang Qi was also prepared. The level 4 strategy had reserve space for two squads, so he transferred one squad to the reserve column, emptying the upper limit of troops.
After successfully recruiting him, according to the caveman wizard named Riley, there are no heroes among this group of cavemen, so there should be no risk of exposure for the time being.
Tang Qi continued to question him, but the information he got was no more than what Cook asked. The only useful information was that soon, heroes from the underground city would come here to get food. The specific time was unknown.
