Chapter 0418 Post-War Statistics
110,000 magic crystals!
A local territorial war cost the Witch Tower as much as 110,000 magic crystals.
And this was achieved by Grimm using the terrain and the magma sea to destroy the jungle beasts and monsters in a sea. Without this trick, Grimm could only lead his men to defend the Witch Tower and endure the pain of being besieged by thousands of beasts.
At that time, there would be no escape from the fate of the tower collapsing and people dying!
After counting with fingers, 110,000 magic crystals of the 120,000 magic crystals that Alice asked someone to bring were consumed in this battle, and the remaining 10,000 were estimated to be very few for repairing the Witch Tower. From this, it can also be seen that Alice, the witch of fate, still has some skills, and the auxiliary force is just right, not too much or too little.
The situation in the energy room surprised Grimm a little. The opening of the defense system and the attacking witch formation has made the element pool, which had accumulated a little before, dry up again. However, due to the existence of the magma sea, the fire element pool at the bottom was filled up in advance, and now the magic energy supporting the operation of the witch tower has been changed to fire energy.
A huge amount of fire energy flows in the body of the witch tower, and the volcanic rocks used in large quantities on the outer walls emit a hazy red light under the urging of heat. From a distance, the entire witch tower looks like a burning fire tree, rooted in the magma sea, which is particularly eye-catching.
Just as Grimm checked the gap between the energies, the chip and the core witch array were connected, and the damage report of the witch tower was listed in detail and sent to Grimm's mind.
"In the battle of the lava hall, our side lost 2 manticores. The enemy lost about 173,000 primary jungle creatures, more than 300 primary monsters, 80+ intermediate monsters, 30+ advanced monsters, and 2 monster leaders... Among them, the monster lord Tula and the monster leader Dana are on the run, and the dark tentacle monster and the wyvern king are still trapped somewhere in the upper underground..."
"During the battle of the witch tower, more than 112,000 magic crystals were lost, 31 parts of the tower were damaged, 127 fault points appeared in the internal energy conduction system, and 34 rune witch arrays were damaged..."
"Harvest: imprisoned in the bondage room There are 2 monster leaders, a three-headed demon dog and a violent giant baboon... There are 2 high-level monsters imprisoned, a bird demon and a snake demon. The bird demon is the initial form of the harpy, a short-range agile monster, and the snake demon is a mutant beast formed after witchcraft pollution, with some demon blood, and a close-range high-attack monster..."
"Some fire spirits can be sent to salvage in the magma sea. The monster corpses or items that can be preserved in the continuous burning of the ground fire have a high witchcraft value..."
…………
Looking at the rows and columns of data counted by the chip, Grimm couldn't help but feel scared!
If there is no magma sea injection, it is impossible for the wizard tower alone to withstand the attack of such a large number of beasts. Not to mention the monsters mixed in the beast tide!
It is conceivable that if a family builds a wizard tower in the Black Forest and sends family wizards to garrison. Then it would need to bear the attacks of all monsters and beasts within a radius of 700 to 800 miles, and the price paid for this would be extremely terrifying.
Once the witch tower was breached by the beast tide, the loss of resources and manpower would be incalculable. Even if the beast tide was resisted, it would be difficult to quickly develop this area into a mature land. It would always take several rounds of exchanges with those unwilling monsters to turn it into a safe territory.
In short, before the Black Forest retreated, these marginal areas were the lands that wizards and monsters fought over, and there were huge hidden dangers in safety. No wizard dared to move a large number of people into such a dangerous area. They could only rely on wizards, apprentices and mercenaries to repeatedly clear the monster nests in the surrounding mountains and forests, killing them or forcing them into a farther area.
After so many repeated tugs of war, it took about ten years for a settlement suitable for human habitation to be developed!
And along the way, any small mistake as a leader could bring disaster to the entire settlement, and it could also make the hard work of the entire family for more than ten years go to waste.
Therefore, any family that wants to open up a new territory needs to be extremely cautious.
Not only do they need to fully consider their own family strength, but they also need to examine the number and quality of monsters around the new territory. In particular, they need a strong wizard team that can respond to all emergencies around the territory in a timely manner.
According to this standard process, it must be said that Grimm has a good hand!
This dangerous battle to defend the Wu Tower not only repelled the monsters' attack, but also killed a large number of jungle creatures. This also means that in a short period of time, the number of wild animals and monsters in the jungle around the Wu Tower will drop sharply.
The Wu Tower is hidden nearly 200 meters underground, occupying a geographical advantage. Anyone who wants to attack it will inevitably fall into the sea of magma. Therefore, Grimm only needs to sit in the Wu Tower, attacking and defending. Even if the surface is occupied by monsters again, he still doesn't need to worry about his safety.
As for developing the Black Forest on the surface, Grimm has never considered this, at least not in the short term.
He worked hard to build his own tower here, not for the purpose of expanding the territory for the Salubo family, but for his own future development. From the comprehensive intelligence analysis from all aspects, if Grim wants to advance to the second level, spiritual elementalization is an indispensable process.
If you want to train your spirit and make it fit your own development path, a good secluded environment is absolutely indispensable. The Sickwood Forest Witch Tower is the most suitable place for him to practice!
Just as Grimm was thinking silently, the witchcraft message sent by Gargamel came into his mind.
Grimm was slightly stunned, turned around and came to the bondage room on the third floor of the Witch Tower.
Walking into the bondage room, Grimm squinted at the trembling figures in the air.
The flowing magic light on the wall illuminated everything in this space. In the dim luster, faintly visible fine textures were transmitted from under the smooth surface of the stone wall, forming a grand and complicated rune magic array.
This is not a common magic array form such as the five-pointed and six-pointed. Various complex pattern runes are arranged in an interlaced manner and connected to each other, forming a complex point on the nearly circular magic array, which tightly binds several tall or short figures in different silver light circles and cannot move.
"How is it? Are these guys willing to surrender?" Grimm asked.
"Yes, yes, yes..." It was not Gargamel who answered first, but the three-headed demon dog Anguja, who was crawling in the light circle with a flattering smile on his face: "My lord, please treat me quickly! If I don't treat it, I will be injured so badly that my spiritual origin will be damaged, which may lead to a decline in rank..."
Grimm looked at Gargamel, and Gargamel nodded silently, and then he was convinced of Anguja's words.
Once the control rune is implanted, the other party becomes one of his own, and it is certainly not beautiful to decline in strength.
"In this case, you can let go of the spiritual space!" Grimm stretched out his hand in front of him and quickly condensed a soul imprint containing his own witchcraft aura: "As long as you are honest and obedient, I will let Gargamel heal you immediately..."
The three-headed demon dog Anguja gritted his teeth and hissed in pain, and a soul phantom emerged from the dog head in the middle of the three dog heads, bowing to Grimm from a distance.
Grimm was about to control the control rune to fly into the silver circle when a female voice suddenly rang out.
"Teacher, don't be fooled by it!" Meryl walked in quickly from outside the room: "Just now, Sister Alice told me that it is useless to control only one main head of this three-headed demon dog. All three heads must be controlled together. Otherwise, it can get rid of the soul imprint by forcibly devouring the main head!"
Grimm's eyes condensed, and a red light appeared in the depths of his black pupils.
"I forgot... I just forgot for a moment..." The three-headed demon dog Angujia was instantly frightened and had to grit his teeth to force out the soul phantoms in the other two dog heads: "Master, I won't dare to do it again!"
Grimm opened his mouth and blew, and in a stream of hot high-temperature flames, the control rune shook violently, split into three, and sank into the three soul phantoms of Angujia with a whoosh.
The drastic changes in the soul, coupled with the terrible high temperature that Grimm deliberately attached, made the three-headed demon dog Angujia instantly feel pain. The whole body crawled on the ground, hundreds of scars and blood scars on the body burst at the same time, and purple-black pus and blood covered the whole body, making it look horrible.
"Okay, it can be treated!"
After closing his eyes and sensing it, he confirmed that the control rune just implanted had been safely integrated into the soul of the three-headed demon dog. Grimm waved his hand to close the binding magic array and let Gargamel give it a simple treatment.
Simple skin injuries could not kill Angujia, but the terrifying fire poison that penetrated into its body needed to be removed in time, otherwise it would really damage its spiritual origin.
"What about you two?" Grimm set his eyes on the bird demon and the snake demon again.
These two unscrupulous monsters, of course, chose to surrender like Angujia.
Therefore, after carefully implanting the control rune, the two of them were also released.
After dealing with these three soft bones, Grimm came to the last silver circle, in which was trapped a huge and sturdy, but mentally quite weak violent giant baboon.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
As soon as Grimm's words came out, the violent giant baboon bared its bloody mouth and punched the transparent silver light circle. Apart from the muffled sound of dongdong, the silver light circle did not even shake, and the witch array suddenly lit up with dazzling electric light.
With a crackling sound, the violent giant baboon fell to the ground with bright electric sparks all over his body, and his muscular and strong body could not help but tremble slightly.
But even if he was unable to stand up, the violent giant baboon still lay on the floor, baring his teeth and threatening Grimm with anger.
"It seems that he is a diehard!" Grimm shook his head regretfully, turned around and told Meryl: "There is no need to grind such a guy slowly, just ask the wizard Korgan from our headquarters to come over and erase its intelligence and make it a witch beast!"
"Yes, teacher!" Meryl nodded in response.
"You called me here just now, saying that there are other gains. What is it?" Grimm turned to look at Gargamel.
Gargamel, who had been rubbing his hands, couldn't help but reveal a greedy look: "Master, these guys all have their own nests!"
"Oh... what do you mean?"
"Of course we have to go to their own nests. The key is that they even know the locations of the nests of those guys who escaped! You know, those guys all escaped alone..." At this point, Gargamel couldn't help licking his lips, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable greed.
Hearing this, Grimm's eyes lit up. chapter;
