This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 411 410. Misunderstanding
After Xinghuo warned that they might be under siege, Lin Jun marked the three tribes closest to the Fungus Castle as targets for monitoring.

Although there may be more than just these three, since they are going to fight together, keeping an eye on a few key tribes is enough to grasp the overall situation.

As expected, these tribes began to actively prepare for war, stockpiling large quantities of mushrooms and other food, and organizing their warriors to train day and night. The entire camp was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending war.

Therefore, Lin Jun had already prepared all sorts of surprises for them along the way, just waiting for these overconfident guys to walk right into her trap.

If they lose, Lin Jun will feed her true form to Xiao Hei!
Unexpectedly, after gathering their warriors, these tribes did not head directly towards the Fungus Fortress, but instead turned around and headed south.

What are we going to do?
Surely we can't afford to be so reckless as to attack an empire?
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Empire is currently locked in a fierce battle with the humans in the south. In reality, they haven't used their full strength yet. It's not something that a few tribes or a motley crew can easily take advantage of.

If it couldn't be an attack on the empire, then what was their purpose in heading south?
After much thought, Lin Jun concluded that they were likely planning to first assemble the entire army before launching a unified attack on Junbao.

This strategy is indeed much smarter, at least much better than fighting each other individually and being defeated one by one.

At the edge of the fungal carpet area, a magical vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, swallowing up all the surrounding mycelium and the magic it contained.

When the vortex dissipated, a newborn scout, Puji, stood out prominently on the bare ground.

[Family Creator]

The light around the scout was slightly distorted, and it quickly blended into its surroundings.

It silently followed behind a tribal caravan heading south, beginning its tailing mission.

Meanwhile, the Fungus Fortress had already assembled an army of two thousand men, plus a vast ocean of tens of thousands of Puji.

These are troops that have been trained by the little pig to varying degrees, and there are nearly three thousand people left inside the mushroom castle to keep it running.

Various demons stood side by side with humans, werewolves and cavemen mingled among them, and even a few dwarves, slightly taller than Puji, could be seen standing at the edge of the group. Unlike Torin, these were slaves redeemed from the tribe, just like the humans.

Such an outrageous combination would likely be seen as an enemy and an attack would be launched by any country in the outside world.

The team wasn't exactly well-disciplined, with constant whispers and discussions, but at least everyone was standing in their designated spots, and there was no pushing or shoving or chaos.

This basic order is largely thanks to the little pig's persistent practice during this period.

Norris was also present in the team, but he was not included in the main force.

He led the Jida squad at the rear of the column, each Jida equipped with a resonance cannon on their shoulder; they were mobile long-range firepower.

These are the army's mobile artillery regiments.

While they couldn't achieve the same level of precise archery skills as Lin Jun had witnessed, capable of eliminating enemies from three kilometers away, the sheer volume and coverage of these resonant cannons firing in unison would likely be even more effective against a tribal coalition primarily composed of miscellaneous soldiers.

Further north of Fungus Castle, in a place where even those with [Cold Resistance LV8] feel the cold, at Lin Jun's far northern laboratory, a giant mutant Jida, composed of 1,500 Puji and over 20 meters tall, rests quietly against a protruding ice wall.

This is a super Jida that utilizes the [Resonance] skill to its limit. It is an experimental unit that Lin Jun prepared to deal with the current situation.

Most people living in Fungus Castle are unaware that a Puji squad delivers a batch of supplies every day.

Among them are minerals needed to generate the chitinous shell, as well as low-grade magic crystals required for [Crystal Symbiosis]. Currently, the shell coverage of this Super Jida exceeds 80%, its massive body gleaming in the reflection of the ice and snow. However, within the core Puji group that constitutes the large magic shield and the giant resonant cannon, the proportion of those successfully achieving A-grade magic crystal symbiosis is still less than 40%.

As for using S-grade magic crystals exclusively... well, even Lin Jun can't afford that kind of luxury right now. Just maintaining the resources for this one project is already keeping all the mines in the dungeon running at full speed.

Lin Jun's consciousness swept over the unfinished Super Jida, and she immediately gave up the idea of ​​using it.

Firstly, it is not yet completed; secondly, the existing military force is more than sufficient to deal with the threat from mere northern tribes. It would be foolish to reveal our hand in such an insignificant battle, thereby attracting the Empire's focused attention.

Although the tribal army did not rush straight to Fungus Castle, Marshal Puji still jumped onto the little pig's head and announced the order to set off in a voice that made everyone tremble.

To be honest, this was a very hasty order to advance.

From the sudden assembly and inventory of the troops and equipment to the departure, it took less than half a day in total. Ordinary armies cannot make various preparations in such a short time.

But this doesn't apply to Lin Jun. As long as they are marching on the fungal carpet, it's like fighting on home soil. Logistics are not a concern at all; mushrooms will grow wherever they go.

After a fight, new supplies can be replenished on the spot, so the army doesn't have to worry about the most troublesome logistics, which naturally makes it more efficient.

Lin Jun still ordered Xiao Zhu to lead this mixed army south at a normal pace, and to give further instructions after Lin Jun figured out the enemy's marching route.

However, two days after the army set off, Lin Jun, through the observations of scout Puji, embarrassingly discovered a fact: the target of these tribes' large-scale joint military operation... seemed to be none other than themselves...

……

The River Luang, the only seasonal river in the North, is only partially thawed this spring, and will not be completely thawed until summer.

This time, the five tribes near the Luo River joined forces to hunt a new monster that had appeared near the riverbank.

Five tribes dispatched a total of more than 3,000 warriors to surround a large area.

They sprinkled the powdered stones on the ground and moved it in circles toward the center.

Broga, a high-ranking warrior of the Broken Blade tribe, wandered among his ash-sprinkling troops.

At one point, he noticed a claw mark suddenly appearing in the dust next to one of his men.

Without hesitation, he flipped the ring-pommel sword in his hand, and with his forward stride, he appeared a few meters away in the next moment.

A large amount of purple blood burst out of the air, and a claw that was about to touch the subordinate's six claws appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

With a hiss, its entire body broke in two.

"keep going!"

Under Broga's orders, his men suppressed their fear and continued to scatter ashes forward.

This time, however, they clearly put in more effort, trying to scatter it as far as possible.
