Chapter 449: Planning and preparing for battle
Translator: 549690339
Tang Zhen sat on a chair. He looked at the information placed in front of him and frowned slightly.
According to the information that he had gathered, Tang Zhen had already vaguely analyzed the intentions of the ice Imp clan.
It had to be said that the Cold Moon Tower possessed a mysterious and powerful strength, which made Tang Zhen gasp in amazement.
First, they used some magical means to make a thick layer of snow fall overnight, completely turning the Wildlands into a large freezer!
Not only was the icy environment suitable for the ice Imp tribe to move around, but more importantly, it had a natural preservation effect.
The ice Imp race first created a large number of mutated monsters and used them to kill all kinds of creatures. Then, they gathered the frozen bodies together.
When there were enough corpses, the ice Imp race would command these mutated monsters to gather the corpses near the Holy Dragon City and transport them to the Cold Moon Tower through the teleportation portal.
After the corpses were transported, the ice Imp would kill all the mutated monsters and take out their brains before disappearing without a trace.
According to the records, the ice Imps weren’t the real residents of the Cold Moon Tower. They could only be regarded as weapons, while the real residents of the tower were like spirits.
As such, Tang Zhen made a bold guess. The reason why the ice Imp race hunted and collected a large number of corpses and Monster Brains was to mass-produce human-shaped combat weapons like the ice Imp race.
In other words, the Cold Moon Tower had turned the Wildlands into a place to collect raw materials. Every 1000 years, they would come here to harvest!
As for why the ice Imp race was mass-producing these combat weapons and where they would go after harvesting them, Tang Zhen still had no idea.
After figuring out the ice Imp clan’s general intentions, Tang Zhen also began to quietly formulate his own plan.
Tang Zhen naturally wouldn’t miss the cornerstone of the Cold Moon City. However, he was also very clear about the horror of a national-level city.
Just the Horde of Lord-tier cultivators was enough to make people feel despair!
The level 9 heaven battling city had been struggling for many years, but it had not been successfully upgraded to a national level, which showed how difficult it was to upgrade!
However, after careful analysis, the combat power of the Cold Moon Tower might not be as terrifying as he had imagined.
The reason why Tang Zhen thought this way was entirely because of the special nature of Cold Moon Tower.
Because they were on a floating continent, the number of monsters attacking Cold Moon Tower during its upgrade was very low. Compared to the monsters on land, there were fewer flying monsters.
Because they didn’t have a physical body, the Cold Moon Tower mainly relied on the weapons they made. Their physical strength wasn’t that strong.
Without the ice Imp race as a human-shaped weapon, they would most likely be powerless.
The only thing he had to pay attention to was whether they had any mental attacks. After all, this kind of ability was hard to guard against.
It could be said that in the process of upgrading Cold Moon City to a national-level city, there were too many lucky factors, which led to their combat power not matching the level of the city.
Of course, this was only Tang Zhen’s guess. As for the exact situation, he still needed to investigate further!
Tang Zhen’s current plan was to let the foreign cultivators who were coveting the foundation stone of Cold Moon Tower fight to the death in front while the Holy Dragon City hid behind the scenes, waiting for the best time to attack.
Although those foreign cultivators were definitely on guard against the Holy Dragon City and had prepared countermeasures, when the time came for the final battle, Tang Zhen would definitely let them know what it meant to be a Mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Therefore, before the crucial moment arrived, the Holy Dragon City had to quietly watch the foreign cultivators fight for their lives, and then frantically earn the brain beads in their hands.
If he planned it well, it should be an extremely easy thing to earn hundreds of millions of brain beads.
Of course, not making a move now didn’t mean that he wasn’t going to do the preparatory work. Tang Zhen already had a preliminary plan in his heart on how to obtain the foundation stone of the Cold Moon Tower.
What he had to do every day now, other than monitoring the surrounding wilderness and dealing with some important matters, he spent most of his time creating a weapon that was specifically targeted at spirit bodies.
He continued to inscribe demon killing runes on the countless steel balls. When he reached a certain number, he would make special bombs out of them.
This special bomb would shoot out these specially made steel balls when it was detonated, causing great damage to the spirit body.
Tang Zhen planned to create more than a thousand of these special bombs and use them during the final battle.
In addition to these bombs, he also wanted to make a batch of battle swords engraved with demon killing runes for the Holy Dragon city’s cultivators.
After studying the information, Tang Zhen discovered that the ice Imp race had the ability to possess someone within a short period of time. Therefore, Tang Zhen needed to make a batch of forehead scarves and tie them on the heads of the Holy Dragon City cultivators to prevent any sneak attacks.
In addition to these items that targeted spirit bodies, Tang Zhen had also specially returned to his original world to custom make a special gun for himself.
The gun was made of special materials, and the bullets it fired could easily penetrate the body of a level Seven monster!
Of course, the difficulty of operating it had also reached an outrageous level. Even if it was equipped with a decompression device, the recoil was still extremely terrifying.
The special gun and the bullets engraved with demon killing runes should be able to cause fatal damage to the ice Imps.
The price of good goods was high. The cost of this kind of gun was in the millions. However, Tang Zhen still ordered ten of them.
With the continuous development of the Holy Dragon City, it would not be long before these expensive firearms became the standard equipment for the Holy Dragon city’s cultivators!
The manufacturing of the special firearms would be handled by the military of the Asian Alliance. Tang Zhen didn’t need to worry about it at all. All he needed to do was to pick up the goods when the time came.
After staying in the original world for half a day to deal with the messy things, Tang Zhen returned to the loucheng world.
In the next few days, Tang Zhen locked himself in the secret room and constantly engraved the demon killing rune.
Every time he felt mental fatigue, Tang Zhen would take out a Handful of Soul crystals and absorb them all.
He did not know if it was because his mental energy was becoming more powerful and condensed, but Tang Zhen felt that his brain seemed to have undergone some kind of change. His control of his mental energy was also becoming more and more adept.
During this period, Yue qianhua had looked for Tang Zhen to discuss the matter of the Holy Dragon City assisting in the attack on Cold Moon Tower.
In addition to this matter, Yue qianhua also hoped that Tang Zhen could sell them a batch of standard firearms, and the price she offered was also very high.
Tang Zhen directly refused Yue qianhua’s unreasonable request.
It was impossible for him to let these alien races master powerful firearms, so it was safer to keep them in his hands.
As for those single-shot shotguns, they simply could not penetrate the standard armor of the Holy Dragon City Warriors, so they were sold.
Yue qianhua’s goal was not achieved, so she could only leave in a depressed manner.
In fact, in addition to guns, there were countless long-range weapons in the world of loucheng. Although the number of weapons from the wild building was limited, its imitations often appeared.
Most of these foreign cultivators from the high-level buildings had obtained some powerful weapons from the wild buildings and other dimensions, but they either didn’t bring them over or hid them.
Not long after the single-barrel shotguns were launched, all kinds of powerful weapons began to be put on sale in the Holy Dragon city’s weapon stores.
A powerful crossbow with ten bolts, a long-handled grenade from the original world, a special explosive long arrow, and other commodities.
They constantly appeared on the counter of the weapon store and were constantly snatched up by the foreign cultivators.
While their equipment was constantly being upgraded, the brains in their pockets were also constantly entering the Holy Dragon city’s wallet.
During the period of time when the Cold Moon disaster had descended, the Holy Dragon City had used all sorts of methods to earn an astonishing amount of wealth without them knowing.
