My different world is game mode

"Lord Lindsay, please let me be the vanguard next!"

"I will continue to prove that I am your most powerful blade in this expedition!"

Underground tunnel illuminated by torches.

Levi was riding behind a Zerg soldier, still asking Lindsay for orders to fight.

At this moment, the battle is about to begin with the aberrations surrounding the [Underground Fortress].

A month has passed.

The new Zerg army arrived at the [Dungeon] on time. Lindsay distributed and reorganized them and combined them with the Zerg forces already in the dungeon itself.

After the speech in the square.

Most of the soldiers who had fought hard so far naturally obeyed the orders and stayed in the dungeon to recuperate.

But there are also some people.

They may be relatively new converts from small tribes who want to express their loyalty to Lindsay, or there may be warriors like Levi who are full of hatred in their hearts.

Facing Levi's request at this moment, Lindsay shook her head and refused:

"Levi, I know your hatred for the aberrations."

"It is also out of this consideration that I agree to take you to join this crusade."

"However, although I can understand your experience and thoughts, you cannot push yourself to this level in the middle of a battle."

"This is for your safety and for everyone else's."

"..."

Lindsay's suggestion made Levi think deeply.

If other people speak, the awakened person who is dominated by the desire for revenge will definitely not listen.

But this is Lindsay after all.

It was Lindsay who saved him and his lover, changed all fate, and even gave him power and guided him to the base camp of the aberrants.

In front of such Lindsay, Levi was able to control his impulses.

He suppressed all the emotions in his heart and nodded to Lindsay:

"I understand, Lady Lindsay."

Lindsay showed an encouraging smile, and then continued to lead the team forward.

In Lindsay's mind, she is even thinking about the subsequent construction plan.

Because of the continuous fight against the aberrants, these kills have been accumulated on the altar in the dungeon, and gathered into soul power in the soul pool.

As long as he completes this crusade, he should be able to build many buildings when he returns.

The issue that really troubles subsequent development at this moment is the requirement to advance to the next civilization.

[Forest City] requires special races to settle in.

[Zerg Nest] is simple and crude, and requires a very large population.

[Dungeon] - Once here, the demand is especially outrageous! It must destroy a kingdom!

To put it bluntly, this is the same level of difficulty as [Forest City].

The former is nowhere to be found.

The latter... Even the Green Swamp in the south of the world is just a human city-state, not a kingdom.

At present, the only one that has hope of upgrading is the [Zerg Lair].

The last population requirement of 3,000 people reached six figures this time. The only way is to use time to reduce population growth.

“It gets more difficult as you get to the later stages.”

"This thing can be regarded as a consistent trend in strategy games."

Lindsay sighed in her heart.

He brought the thoughts in his mind back to reality, and closer problems began to trouble his eyebrows.

With the bonus of walking boots, the army can advance faster.

This journey to the final crusade has also been accelerated.

It just benefited from the more powerful and ruthless Zerg army's crusade.

This battle was actually easier than the previous expedition. What bothered Lindsay at the moment was that the strength of the aberrants had not changed.

Stage five aberrants will still occasionally appear underground.

But none of the powerful deformed people who revived from ancient times were seen on the last journey!

"This is completely inconsistent with the rules of approaching the enemy's base camp."

"..."

Lindsay looked up and ahead.

According to the previously drawn map, he would be able to reach the base camp of the Abnormals in the north in at most three days.

But so far, there are no large-scale and difficult enemies to deal with.

"..."

"There must be a conspiracy!"

Lindsay made the decision with absolute certainty.

He analyzed the intelligence at hand and opened the [Strategic Map].

Because of their attack, the [Strategic Map] brought into view the entire terrain of the rear area.

There is no conspiracy at all!

There is no outflanking or surprise attack.

Even the base camp of [Dungeon City] has been quiet for a month, and has never been attacked by the enemy again.

Actually.

The reality was even more outrageous than Lindsay expected.

Because in those newly conquered underground tunnels, there were no aberrants to fill the conquered cave space like in the previous expedition.

This also seems that the logistical preparation plan made by Lindsay is a bit redundant.

"No interception or ambush?"

"That means gathering strength and preparing to hold on to the base camp?"

Lindsay could only speculate.

There was no interception or ambush targeting the rear. It is more reasonable to infer that the aberrants staying at the base camp wanted to gather strength and fight to the death.

"A bad fight."

Lindsay immediately turned to look at Levi:

"Levi, go and inform everyone that the aberrations encountered during this period are not of the right strength. I am afraid they are gathering their strength to prepare for a decisive battle with us. Everyone must be careful!"

Levi rode back on the Zerg to deliver the message.

The atmosphere in the human team changed accordingly, and all the human faces became serious.

The first day of the follow-up.

The situation was exactly as Lindsay had expected.

Except for some scattered low-stage deformers, they did not even encounter decent enemies, and the caves were abandoned here one by one.

The deformers did mobilize their manpower.

Thanks to this environment where they could move forward without fighting, Lindsay reached the center of the northern world on the second day alone.

So far, he asked the team to stop moving forward.

He switched the [Strategic Map] to the [Adventure Map] and prepared to conduct reconnaissance before the war.

"..."

"…………"

"Ah?"

Lindsay looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned on the spot.

Not far ahead, in the direction of the deformer base camp, there was indeed a huge underground cave covering an area of ​​more than a thousand acres.

Through map reconnaissance.

You can also see some buildings suitable for human use, which are obviously the needs of those highly intelligent deformers.

But what bothers Lindsay now is that there is no one!

In this huge cave, there are only a few scattered red dots symbolizing hostility, and there is no army for the expected decisive battle!

So...

Where did the enemy go?

Could it be that these intelligent guys fled with their people because they were afraid of fighting?

Given the brutality of the Deformers, or the forces of the Abyss, towards the living.

Lindsay never thought that the other party had the option of escaping.

But the facts were clearly laid out in front of him!

"..."

In silence, Lindsay continued to expand the scope of reconnaissance, almost reaching the limit, but still found no trace of the enemy.

Ding——

Just at this moment.

The [Sky Compass] that had been sleeping in the bag for a long time sent him a message.

There is a hidden space nearby!
