When the steam tank leading the front encountered the enemy, except for the soldiers on the steam tanks following closely behind, those vehicles farther away had no idea what was happening in front.

The battle ended too quickly. In less than a minute, a powerful demon patrol team that was enough to cause a bloody storm was wiped out by three attacks.

The entire convoy did not stop completely, but only slowed down a bit, and soon returned to normal driving speed.

Everyone had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. They just thought there was a problem on the road ahead, so they stopped and cast spells to repair the road conditions.

However, occasionally sharp-eyed soldiers will find clues. The body of the demon guard, which was stripped naked and discarded under the roadbed, pointed out the reason why the convoy slowed down just now.

The occurrence of battles is not a new thing for these soldiers who have considerable experience in fighting with the wind.

They were just surprised by the other's red skin and rather tall and burly body.

This was the first time these soldiers had seen this guy who was much taller than the jackal barbarians.

The soldiers who had just participated in the battle had also never seen a demon before, and did not know that the armor on the demon was made of fine materials.

But these stingy guys will even pluck the underwear off the enemy's corpse.

As long as something looks better, they will never let it go.

What happened to pulling the panties off those demons?

The material of those underwear looks so high-end, no fool would take it out!

And with Wolf, a senior spellcaster, guiding them, they quickly learned that armor and cloth were both good things.

Demons are very particular about hygiene. Those demon cloths that were not very dirty in the first place were rinsed by Wolf summoning water and then spread on the engine cover of the steam tank to dry.

The high temperature on the engine cover quickly dried those precious pieces of devil's cloth.

Wolf picked up a piece and smelled it. Apart from a faint smell of sulfur, there was no other peculiar smell.

This high-end magic fabric is a good thing for making robes, and of course he cannot dislike it.

If he didn't already have a robe made of magic pattern cloth, he would definitely use these fabrics to put together a robe.

It doesn't matter if the spliced ​​robe looks a little ugly, as long as it is practical, you can tolerate those minor flaws.

So he, a well-fed man, still knows that a hungry man is hungry, and these demon underwear can be sold to those poor ethereal beings as long as they are processed.

The virtual spirits can only maintain their lives by relying on this kind of magic cloth, and they don't pay attention to the source of the magic cloth.

Everyone divided the spoils in the car and prepared to exchange and collect points when they arrived at the destination.

After wiping out this demon team, there were no traces of other demons on the road.

The patrol strength of the demons in the Cursed Land is actually not very strong. It is probably a coincidence that they encountered them this time.

The huge convoy marched toward the pass in a mighty manner. They didn't know yet that what awaited them was the fate of becoming miners.

As the convoy advanced along the straight hills, the soldiers were surprised by the smooth mountain walls along the way. This was a very rare phenomenon, and ordinary mountain walls would not be so smooth.

The shamans in the convoy quickly discovered from the fine rock powder remaining at the bottom of the mountain wall that someone had used directional earthquake technology.

Although there are occasional straight and smooth mountain walls in nature, the mountain walls here were all the same, and the soldiers soon discovered something was wrong.

Is there anything valuable on the hill? Who used such a big deal?

The smooth and straight mountain walls along the way are very monotonous, and the uniform smooth walls can easily give soldiers the illusion that they are even more tired of this cursed place full of desolation and death.

If only they knew that there are many ready-made mines dug by orcs on the hills above their heads.

Various high-end ores can be produced in large quantities in the mines, which can greatly enhance their equipment level.

Maybe these guys would find a way to climb up on the spot and start their mining business on their own initiative.

The convoy advanced along the hills for a while, and a flat road running from north to south appeared in the field of vision.

It was a hard dirt road that was trampled over time by a large number of orcs who often traveled from the Dark Portal to the northern swamps.

As for the special construction of roads, it is impossible for the backward orcs to repair roads.

They don't understand the principle of building roads first if they want to get rich. The orcs only have the philosophy of having more children and raising more pigs.

When the army arrived on the north-south road, Zhang Weidao, who was sitting on the wall of the northernmost pass in the Cursed Land, saw them from a distance.

Zhang Weidao excitedly patted Lei Zhenzi next to him who had just returned from hunting in the northern swamp.

"Very good! My mining army is finally here!"

Rai Zhenzi went to the northern swamp to steal a big fat pig raised by the orcs. When he came back, he saw the owner sitting on the edge of the city wall, so he sat next to it to take a rest, but was inexplicably patted twice by the owner.

A confused Rai Zhenzi thought the owner wanted to play with it, but found that the owner was looking into the distance and ignored it.

"Could it be that the master's hand cramped just now?"

Lei Zhenzi, who was confused about the situation, tilted his head and thought for a while, and was too lazy to think about it anymore.

It covered its head with its wings and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

Having just had a hearty meal, being exposed to the afternoon sun can easily make any living thing sleepy.

The fully mechanized army came to the bottom of the city wall, marched through the city gate opening in a mighty manner, then drove up the gentle slope from the rear, and formed an orderly formation on the city wall.

Although the city wall of more than 1,000 meters seemed very long, once this large mechanized force came up, it was difficult to even display its firepower formation.

The more than two hundred steam tanks alone, with their five-meter-wide bodies, had already completely filled the city wall.

In addition, more than 300 large-caliber truck guns were arranged in three full rows before they were put into formation.

There was originally a space as big as a dozen football fields at the top of this wide and long city wall. Once these giant vehicles drove up, there was no decent open space left.

Once a large number of war weapons are placed on this giant city wall, there is no need to consider the devil's attack on the city. If it comes, it will be to death.

After leaving enough defensive force, Zhang Weidao led his mining army from the newly built ramp at the edge of the east wall to the hillside rich in high-end ore.

It is not a troublesome thing to use earth element spells to form a slope more than 20 meters wide, extending from the city wall to the hill on the east side.

It's just that Zhang Weidao can bear this level of mana consumption.

After arriving at their destination, the soldiers divided areas into their respective teams and then poured into the mine.

The mine that was originally deserted and like a spooky ghost cave suddenly became lively.

Most of the soldiers who came to the mine to participate in mining did not have suitable mining tools in their hands.

The real ones doing the mining are the kobold soldiers, and the humans and jackals are just helping them, responsible for moving the ore outside.

The kobolds' mining speed was as fast as convulsions. The thorium and mithril ores discovered by Zhang Weidao were quickly dug out by them, filling the outside.

After the ores on the surface were mined, other copper ores, iron ores, silver ores, and even gold mines slowly began to appear, but the most common ones were thorium and mithril ores.

Zhang Weidao has never seen so much thorium and mithril ores. Although he has a lot of mithril and thorium on hand, they are all finished products directly smelted by dwarves.

Most of the smelting of thorium and mithril is monopolized by the dwarves. Without the arcane furnaces of the high elves, the entire Azeroth would have to rely on the dwarves for supply.

This kind of monopoly business is the best thing to do. Only I can do it. You don't have the ability to do it. This is a different kind of technological hegemony.

Even the Dark Iron Dwarf Master Garroun smelted high-end ore behind the backs of other blacksmiths, for fear that the secret of the high-end flux would be lost.

But monopoly is not easy to monopolize. In addition to the arcane furnace of the high elves, a new smelting method will also be officially put into use soon.

Zhang Weidao was not going to ask the dwarves to handle the smelting of Thorium and Mithril in the Cursed Land. This time he was going to do it himself!

Although he has a good relationship with the dwarves and hires a large number of dwarves to mine and build equipment.

But if you can master some things yourself, why should you borrow them from others?

The Obsidian Aerial Ship has just moved equipment, and soon we can try to see if it can smelt Thorium and Mithril ores.

It would be some time before the equipment arrived, but Zhang Weidao and the shamans summoned another lava pool in the center of the hill.

Summoning a large project like a lava pool is not difficult for him, and so many shamans are not just decorations.

This kind of lava pool connects the elemental world with a trace of flame power. The never-ending flame power ensures that the magma is always in a boiling state and can continuously smelt ore.

The ones who like the lava pool the most are the Obsidian Centaurs. They take the iron ore and throw it directly into it, melt it into molten iron, and then pump the molten iron up.
