The Age of Global Gods: The Rise of Techno-Cults
Chapter 28 Sneak Attack
Simons, who was in the Hell Plane at this time, felt that one-third of his legion suddenly disappeared. He could not communicate with the Hell Clan who were exploring the alien world. He could only feel whether they were alive.
This was because he was the smallest baron in the Hell Plane. The Hellhounds active on the Green Star were already a very important fighting force for him, and he always kept an eye on them.
It was also because he was the weakest baron that he was ecstatic when he found this new entrance to the alien world. Unfortunately, although this entrance to the alien world was in his territory, it was also very close to the place managed by the viscount in the north, so he could only quietly send troops to investigate.
"Once I absorb the resources in this alien world, it will be no problem to be promoted to earl."
Simons was full of enthusiasm at this time, but in a blink of an eye he thought of the disappeared soldiers and felt a headache.
Because of the good strategic choice, not much manpower was lost in the entire process of conquering the alien world, and most of the tasks were carried out by the demons infected in the alien world.
This time, he sent out a thousand hellhounds to remove the thickest nails in the alien world, but now his spoils have problems.
Simmons was panicking at this time. He spent a lot of time and effort, and when he was about to pick the juicy fruits, he suddenly encountered an accident.
"Don't think of the worst. This shouldn't be possible. How could there be an accident?"
"TM, what happened? Wasn't the exploration going well before? Only those weak humans and elves, or at worst those tree people, couldn't destroy my 1,000 hellhounds. That's half of the number in the domain."
"No, no, I sent a high-level demon to command that legion. How could it be wiped out without even a little news? Is there an area in this alien world that I haven't explored yet?"
"Ah, it's really infuriating. How come there is no news at all? What did they encounter?"
"I can't stand it, I can't stand it. Go call the Corpse Demon King."
The ghost servant at the door had been trembling when Simmons went crazy. When he heard his order, he hurried out and called General Corpse Demon King in as if he had been pardoned.
"Lord, why did you call me here?" The Corpse Demon King is a hero unit among the Corpse Demons. Very powerful, the highest combat power in Simmons's domain, this is his pride, after having this corpse ghost king, the viscount next to him dare not be in front of him.
After all, hero units are also very rare in the hell plane, and as a hero unit of the third-level corpse ghost clan, its status is stronger than that of ordinary fifth-level soldiers. Heroes are the most powerful existence in a race. They have amazing talents and the power to break their own limitations. It can be said that the potential is huge. Before, Luo Luo encountered a hero-level golden behemoth during the demigod test.
But compared with the golden behemoth that strengthens its own strength, the corpse ghost king strengthens the ability of the entire race.

Introduction: A rare intelligent species among the ghouls, and has learned simple magic.
"The thousand hellhounds I sent to the other world and the legion led by that useless demon were all wiped out in an instant. No news has been heard. Gather your subordinates. Go to the other world and show me what is going on."
"But lord, if we go to the other world, it will consume too many resources. It is not cost-effective."
"Not cost-effective, you told me it is not cost-effective. If you fail to keep the fruits of our victory after you go in, then all the resources invested before will be wasted."
"Remember, check it for me immediately after you go in. Check the whole process for me. I want to know who dares to go against me. I will make him die without a burial place."
Obviously, Simmons was a little crazy because of Rollo's behavior.
"The resources that the lord invested before were not much, and our losses are acceptable. But..."
"What! Corpse Demon King, are you refuting me? Do you have the final say on this territory, or do I? Can't I make the final decision on my own territory today?"
"Of course you have the final say, but..." The lord's behavior was obviously a bit crazy, and the Corpse Demon King wanted to persuade him again. Although he was tall, he was actually an intelligent species.
"No buts. Since I have the final say, do it the way I say. If you can't complete the task, you don't have to come back."
Seeing this, the Corpse Ghost King knew that he could not persuade him anymore, so he could only lead his men to explore the other world according to the will of the lord.
In fact, Simmons regretted it after saying these words. After all, the Corpse Ghost King is the most powerful fighting force in his domain and his facade. If the relationship is frozen because of this matter, it will be very detrimental to the development of the domain, but there is no way to maintain the dignity of the lord, so he has to do this. Some things are shot and there is no turning back.
Simons's idea is actually understandable. He is not saying that he cares more about the resources invested before, but he regards all the gains in this other world as his capital to become the earl. He has been dreaming about this for a long time, and finally he has the opportunity to realize it, and the opportunity is right in front of him and within reach. How could he give up because of some small accidents?
Simons is not crazy, but just trapped in his own obsession. He can't persuade himself to give up all his previous efforts in vain, even if he wants to die, he must die clearly.
In fact, Simmons, the Baron of Hell, is also very miserable. He inherited his father's position as Viscount, but it was not easy. You know, his ancestors were dukes, but the Simmons family was getting worse and worse. When it came to his father's generation, he could only be called Viscount Simmons.
If it was just like this, it would be fine, at least he was still a real noble. But the bad thing was that his father was weak and incompetent and accomplished nothing. He worked diligently all his life, but he could only be a defender. In the end, his reputation was not preserved. He was overthrown by a small baron who had been planning for a long time, and the million-strong army was destroyed.
To say that this old Viscount should not inherit this territory. In hell, everyone is an expert in conspiracy. If you are not cruel, then others will be cruel to you. This is the rule. Simmons' father, Old Simmons, has always been protected by his grandfather, and there was a big problem as soon as his grandfather died.
Not only were the family's million-strong army annihilated, but the domain was also annexed on a large scale. The little baron who used to flatter them timidly has become the current viscount. Where did his territory come from? It was all snatched from Simons' father.
This made the two families a feud. From Simmons' birth to the present, Simmons' father also died on the battlefield a few years ago, and he had to take up the responsibility to inherit the domain that was now only the baron.
The hell plane is very realistic. The larger the domain and the stronger the power, the higher the status. Once you lose these, you will obediently hand them over. Simmons can't call himself a viscount to the outside world now, but can only call himself a baron. It's because his territory is no longer enough for the viscount's standard. This is the naked reality.
What can Simmons do? He can only catch up.
But fate played a joke on him. He thought that after the death of the dirty viscount of the same generation as his grandfather, he could take back the glory of his family to avenge his father's murder. But he never expected that the person who succeeded the opposite viscount's territory would be more talented, more capable, and even more powerful than before.
Simmons had just set up his ambitions, but they were extinguished by a basin of cold water. But so what, if you are not as strong as others, you have to pretend to be a grandson. He didn't even dare to provoke lightly until the birth of the corpse ghost king, which gave him some confidence and stopped the other party's plan to encroach step by step.
The appearance of the crack in the alien world made him ecstatic. Although the Simmons family was in decline, they were the people who had a duke in their ancestors after all. Many of the knowledge passed down by the family were precious treasures in the hell plane.
Coincidentally, Simmons was a person who cherished these treasures. He often read and flipped through all the books in the family. The main purpose was not to study. It was to commemorate the glorious past of the family's history and the lofty status before.
But now the opportunity has come. Even if the general hell lords find the crack in the alien world, they will not know what it is, let alone the steps and methods of exploring the alien world.
He is different. He understands these things. This gives Simmons hope to rise again. He placed all his hopes on the exploration of this alien world. Although he only assigned a thousand hellhounds, that was half of the actual combat power. If he sent more, it might be possible for the surrounding enemies to find the problem. In the end, he would not get back the resources of the alien world, but he would lose his life first, which would not be worth it.
There was no other way to send out the Corpse King's Legion. As mentioned before, the Corpse King was the highest combat power and assistant in his domain. The Corpse King's Legion stationed in the center of Simmons' current domain was the main force to protect the safety of Simmons's Royal City.
The teams on the surrounding borders could not move, so they could only take the risk of letting the Corpse King's Legion go in to find out.
Simmons's idea was to let the high-level Corpse King's Legion fight quickly and return with the spoils before the surrounding enemies could react. This was the best result he imagined.
As for the worst result, he had never thought about it and dared not think about it. If he lost the Corpse King's Legion. Then he would enter the countdown to death. A territory without fighting power is like a fat sheep that can be slaughtered at will. Anyone who sees it will want to take advantage of it.
While he was thinking about it, the Corpse King also assembled all the members of his legion and began to march towards the alien world. The soldiers guarding the alien world had already prepared the corresponding resources, and when the legion arrived, they invested in the space crack, which greatly increased its carrying capacity.
The Corpse King did not dare to delay. He knew the current situation of the field, which could be said to be riddled with holes and could be broken with a poke.
He immediately ordered the soldiers of the legion to move forward.
When the Corpse King's legion landed on Green Star, Luo Luo and the others were still preparing various fortifications in the treeman territory. They also knew that the hell lord on the other side of the crack would not give up, and the next wave of attacks would definitely be more fierce, so they needed to make plans early.
As soon as the Corpse King passed through the alien world crack, he immediately sent out all the hellhounds, and at the same time sent a signal to the demons in this alien world to summon them to come, and the ghost was sent by him to check the place where the hell apostle died before.
A few days later, the second apostle walker, who was attacking the human base in the Death Valley with all his strength, received the order from the Corpse King.
"Order your troops to go to the gathering place at full speed, without any mistakes."
At this time, the demon army led by him had already attacked the city wall. When they were about to break through the nail stationed on the road of the Hell Legion, they suddenly received such an order. There was no way, he could only do it. In the Hell Clan, all soldiers had clear positions, and the orders of superiors could not be refuted at all.
The No. 2 Hell Walker took a fierce look at the towering walls of the human base and issued an order to retreat.
The humans in the Death Valley base were almost desperate. Men, women, old and young in the base picked up everything they could use and prepared to fight to the end. The Hell Clan did not take prisoners, and they would die if they were caught, so they might as well fight.
But just when they were raising their courage to their throats, those hateful monsters suddenly retreated, which puzzled them.
But no matter how you think about it, this is a good thing. Under the command of the city lord, the survivors hurriedly began to repair the city walls, replenish various supplies, and bury the corpses outside to prevent the spread of plague and viruses in the base.
After finishing these tasks, the city lord Joseph Williams, who had not slept for seven days and seven nights since the demons attacked, was finally able to rest for a while.
His daughter Diana Williams slowly massaged her father. She knew that her father was under great pressure. He had not slept for several days and had to go to the city wall every once in a while. It was really difficult for him to urge the soldiers and prevent them from slacking off.
After a while, Joseph snored and fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, the corpse ghost king had led his troops to the place where the hell army was destroyed.
"Why is the magic energy here so violent?"
"Report to the leader, we found the tree people's settlement ahead, with a population of about 500 people. It seems that they have not suffered any losses. It seems that there has been no battle."
"How is it possible that there are no losses? The legion has invested so many troops here. The tree people have no losses. What happened?"
The corpse ghost king was also very surprised. After all, it was Simmons's order to attack the tree people's settlement. He also knew that this was done to obtain the treasures of the tree people, so half of the hellhounds in half of the field were sent to the No. 1 Hell Walker in advance. They were destroyed just like that, and the enemy did not react at all. This made him feel incomprehensible.
In fact, the tree people also suffered losses. They have more than 500 warriors. This is also the result of Simmons's reconnaissance. But it does not mean that the tree people only have combat personnel. They also have other logistics personnel, or children and old people in the tree people. These add up to more than 200 people.
The combination of the two made the corpse ghost king's scouts think that the tree people had no losses, which made him a wrong judgment.
"Did the Hell Army not attack the Treemen? Yes, that must be the case. Then how were they destroyed?"
People tend to subconsciously believe their own inferences. And always think that this is correct. After all, the Corpse Ghost King could not believe that the 7,000-strong army did not kill a single Treeman, but was destroyed by the Treemen. When did the Treemen become so powerful?
He ordered his men to start a careful investigation around the battlefield and must catch the real murderer.
But he only spared the direction of the Treemen. Because he did not believe that these injuries were caused by the Treemen.
But everything in the world is so clever, and the real murderer is now visiting the Treemen.
The Corpse Ghost King did not send too many troops to the direction of the Treemen, but Luo Luo and his men left enough eyes around the battlefield.
When the Hell Army just arrived at the edge of the battlefield, a shadow drilled into the territory of the Treemen along the direction of the trees.
At this time, Luo Luo and his men had just completed the construction of the defensive building and were having dinner with the chief of the Treemen.
The shadow merged into Cai Mengmeng's body. Luo Xin, who was more sensitive to dark energy, also felt something strange.
After waiting for a few minutes, Cai Mengmeng walked towards Luo Luo and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Very good, it seems that our reconnaissance methods are better. The enemies of the Hell Clan have arrived. And the number is not small. With so many enemies, it seems that they still attach great importance to us."
"Luo Xin, come and see what the configuration of this wave of Hell Legion is?"
Cai Mengmeng told Luo Xin the information at this time.
After listening, he pondered for a moment and said: "This should be the main force of the Corpse Ghost Clan. It is also equipped with a considerable number of hellhounds. There should also be ghosts. This legion is amazing. It can attack and defend."
"It has both long-range attacks and close combat. There are also vanguard scouts. It can be said to be a relatively complete standard Corpse Ghost Clan. I think they should also carry some heavy siege equipment."
"And why do I feel that the leader is a bit like the Corpse Ghost King, the hero unit of the Corpse Ghost Clan!"
"Oh, it seems that the lord on the opposite side has spent a lot of money." Luo Luo knew that it must cost a lot of resources to send such a well-equipped legion over. It seems that the lord on the opposite side is a little anxious.
After listening to Luo Xin's detailed description of the various data of this wave of enemies, Luo Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Such a configuration is easy for him. The advantage of the Corpse Ghost Clan is that the flesh is strong, and Luo Luo kills the flesh.
The improved weapons and equipment of the mechanical race have a greater restraint on the flesh, but the lethality to energy creatures such as ghosts is almost zero.
Don't worry about these. The spirit dragon specializes in killing energy creatures. As long as its energy disorder skill is released, it will kill creatures such as ghosts. If it touches them, they will be injured, and if it is hit, they will die. There is no exception.
This is the advantage of the team. Luo Luo is also thinking about matching more diverse and comprehensive weapons for the mechanical race in the future. He hopes to develop himself into an all-rounder. Leave no weaknesses to give the enemy a chance.
After several hours of intense search. The Hell Legion did not find any useful clues. So now the corpse ghost king can only face the reality, a reality he is most reluctant to admit, the murderer is the tree people.
This is really weird. He dared not make a decision for a long time. He could only send all the ghosts to the tree people to investigate the situation. If the murderer is the tree people.
Then they can only fight them openly, and if the murderer is not the tree people, then it is better. They can be directly annihilated to complete the task assigned by Simmons and continue to implement the great cause of conquering the alien world.
No matter what, they have to face it. He called all the high-level members of the Hell Army to discuss the strategy to deal with the tree people. Finally, it was decided that after the ghost tribe's reconnaissance, they would directly launch a sneak attack on the tree people's residence, and the time was chosen at night.
At this time, the tree people had no sunlight for photosynthesis and fell into an inert state. This is the most negligent time of the day for them, and they are also the most careless. The previous hell walker used this method to destroy several gathering places of the tree people many times.
He didn't know that his whereabouts had been exposed from the beginning, and the whole process was under the control of Rollo and others.
At this time, Rollo's people were also discussing ways to deal with the Hell Army with the chief of the tree people. After all, it is better to reduce some losses, and no one wants to see their soldiers sacrifice in vain.
The scouts of the ghost tribe just touched the tree hole where Rollo and others were discussing things at this time.
But as the Shadow Clan, which is also a pure energy body, they also discovered the ghost as soon as it came. The Ghost Clan is not an energy race that specializes in hiding and assassination, so they did not discover the existence of the Shadow Clan. But the Shadow Clan had already been eyeing him, which meant that Cai Mengmeng had also discovered him. Cai Mengmeng was about to remind him, but she received a glance from Luo Luo and fell silent.
Although the improved war robot lost its attack power against energy bodies, they also installed more reconnaissance equipment. Similar to energy detectors, infrared detectors and wind wave detectors can detect invisible units and energy body targets. Even without Cai Mengmeng's Shadow Clan reminder, he had already discovered this ill-intentioned ghost.
At this time, Luo Luo and the others knew that Simmons' plan was to prepare for a night attack. And now there happened to be enemy spies in the house.
Luo Luo came up with a plan, "Why don't I give him a trick on his own."
You know, the technology core is not only about science and technology. There are also various works, cultural images, and so on from the Blue Star era, which are all-encompassing. However, although these things exist in the technology core, they are not displayed on the attribute panel because they cannot improve combat effectiveness.
