Chapter 98: A great harvest
Lear felt quite emotional after reading the attributes of the night elves.
It has to be said that elves, beings that are famous in the main plane, are not just because of their beauty.
Its powerful strength is fundamental.
The opponent's skills combined with his talent can be described as fierce.
If there are warriors in front, not many, just a squadron, the wilderness blood thieves who were hunting them before will be a living target.
He took a deep breath, looked at the bound night elf, and said slowly.
"A group of night elves are actually being hunted by wild blood thieves. You are much weaker than the legend says. I'm a little disappointed."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the wetland lizard warrior behind him threw a few heads over.
The ferocious mind of the wilderness blood thief rolled beneath it.
"You are sorry for the reputation of elves."
The night elf who was hung on the wall was ashamed and angry when he saw this.
"That's just because we don't have tree warriors!"
"Human, you are insulting the great night elf!!"
"Hmph, if we were in the underground world, these barbarians would be like pigs!!"
But no matter how tough they were, their momentum was obviously reduced.
No matter what the excuse is, it cannot change the fact that he is being hunted.
However, the enemy who chased them away like a dog was easily killed by the opponent, which still greatly shocked their pride.
Lear looked at the angry night elf with calm eyes and fell into deep thought.
To enslave these proud beings, some means are needed.
His level has stagnated since the last time he swallowed the remnant soul of the half-murloc god and received a wave of improvement.
Being in the swamp, the power of this land is strengthening his body and soul.
Although you can feel that your body is getting stronger every few days, this rate of change is slow.
There is no way to enslave so many night elves.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the air gradually became quiet.
The leader of the night elves suddenly spoke.
"My dear human lord, may I know what you plan to do with us?"
Lear looked up, looked directly at the other person, and said slowly.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good ideas?"
These words silenced all the night elves. Do you want us to give you some advice? !
The night elf leader took a deep breath.
"Human Lord, your territory seems to have been established not long ago. I have a set of 3-star level weapons and armor forging secrets in my hands, and I am willing to use them in exchange for our freedom!"
Lear felt inexplicably familiar.
It’s time to buy your own life with treasures again. It seems like this has happened a few times?
Co-author, the whole world likes to do this?
However, he seemed to like it quite a bit.
Looking at the other party playfully.
"not enough."
The night elf leader gritted his teeth.
"I can activate 20 tree people for you and transform them into tree people guardians to protect the territory!"
"Is this a secret method?"
"Yes, but only the blood of night elves can activate the tree people."
"Can the Animated Tree Man be as powerful as my City Hall?"
"You are joking, your city hall has level 14 biological strength that can only be obtained after integrating into the Heart of Darkness."
"The Heart of Darkness is a treasure dug out from the body of the Dark Tree Man that has survived for thousands of years. It is extremely precious and can greatly increase the strength of activated plants. This is the only one I have in my hand."
“But we’re okay”
Seeing that the night elf leader was still about to speak, Lear interrupted.
"Needless to say, you haven't realized your situation yet."
"There's no room for bargaining here."
He has little trust in the night elves. After a while, when the soul strength is enough, he can just enslave them.
By then, aren’t all these treasures and secrets his?
Now I can be sure that a lot of oil and water can be squeezed out of the other party, which is not bad.
I didn't waste any time on this, so I changed the topic and asked.
"Where do you come from? Where is the entrance to the underworld?"
The night elf felt a little humiliated, but had to grit his teeth and answer the question.
"There is a small hill about 100 kilometers north of the swamp. The cave at the bottom can enter the underground world."
"Why do you appear on the surface?"
These words seemed to open their scars, and all of them suddenly became short of breath and filled with rage.
"Those bastards from the Psalm clan attacked our territory and occupied our moonwell!"
"Fleeing to the surface as a last resort"
If they hadn't been attacked by the enemy, how could they have left the underground world and become prisoners.
"The Psalm Clan?"
"That is a group of large clans with more than 5,000 night elves. They are famous in the Dark Mountains. They are favored by the god of night elves."
"We are no match for them."
The night elf leader was holding his breath as he spoke.
Dark Mountains.
Hearing this word, Lear immediately thought of the monster he encountered on the first day of arriving in the swamp - the Keld Rat Man!
He was impressed by the countless numbers.
"Do you know about the Kelder Skaven?"
The night elf leader came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise.
"Do you also know about the Kelder rat people? Those filthy lives occupy one-third of the Dark Mountains, and their numbers are too large to be counted."
"It is said that they are preparing to hunt the red dragon deep in the Dark Mountains that is about to die of old age."
Speaking of this, the tone is a bit complicated. Those Kelder rat people are so weak individually, but they are hunting the red dragon. They are so powerful, but they have become prisoners.
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly.
Hunting a red dragon that dies of old age? He had heard this news before when he interrogated the Keld Rat Man.
Unexpectedly, they confirmed each other.
But it's too far away and has nothing to do with the City of Dew for the time being.
"Do you know what treasures there are in the underground world? Such as mineral veins, ancient ruins, etc."
"The competition for survival in the underground world is extremely stressful. Everything we know has been taken over by others. If we want to get it, we can only steal it from others."
If the wilderness is the naked rule of the jungle, then the rules of the underground world are ten times more bloody than the wilderness.
A world without light breeds the most extreme darkness in this world.
Lear was very curious about the legendary dark place where rich treasures were hidden and where countless ferocious races lived.
However, this will have to wait until it develops in the later stages before exploring.
After asking for a while, he didn't get any more information, so Lear didn't stay long and turned around to leave.
Looking at his back, all the night elves felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
They were like meat on a chopping board, ready to be cut and kneaded.
There was no room for resistance.
The night elves were in trouble. Lear looked at the sky and it was noon. After thinking about it, he summoned the Scarlet Queen.
Let him go hunting with 30,000 scarlet hornets.
The range of motion is a bit wider.
Step-by-step development may not be able to deal with the flying dragon in mid-October.
Previously, the Scarlet Queen was still sleeping, leaving the Scarlet Hornet to hunt alone. It would be difficult to organize an effective attack when encountering powerful beings, and it would easily cause a lot of losses. Now that the queen is in charge, hunting is no longer a problem.
Lear was not satisfied, and ordered Haggis to take two squads of cold-blooded cavalry and three bubble beasts to go hunting.
The speed of the cold-blooded cavalry is not as fast as that of the Scarlet Hornets, but they are equally ferocious. An ordinary gathering place of wild monsters cannot withstand the impact of two small teams of cold-blooded cavalry.
Bubblemon was responsible for carrying the corpse and cooperated fully.
The second team sets off.
At the same time, the territory also has 5 squadrons of wetland lizardman warriors stationed there, with flesh and blood slaughterers in charge.
Plus a revitalized town hall.
There is no need to worry about internal security issues.
His main goal these days is to do everything possible to increase the number of cold-blooded cavalry.
The pig farm is still breeding piglets, and it is not time to exert force. The only way to obtain flesh and blood is through hunting.
After the army went out, Lear continued to return to the fish pond to make tea.
I felt a little emotional for no reason.
All this long-term effort was finally not in vain.
The power accumulated in Weilu City gave him the spare capacity to operate on multiple fronts.
When I first arrived in the swamp at the beginning of the month, I wouldn't have dared to think about it.
After thinking about it, I saw the dragon blood red fish happily eating fish tail in the water, and I felt better.
The military has made rapid progress, and production and construction have not fallen behind either.
Everything is developing steadily.
That night, the army returned and the Scarlet Queen hunted thousands of corpses.
The Scarlet Hornets returned carrying the bodies like drones.
After the level was upgraded to level 9, the Scarlet Hornet's combat effectiveness increased by several levels.
Moreover, the scarlet queen can replenish the quantity immediately after consumption, so she is not afraid of sacrifice at all.
Coupled with the exploration efficiency of flying life, if it were not almost impossible to lift later, today's harvest would be even more abundant.
Hagas also brought back more than 300 corpses.
Put them all in the little lizard area and start cultivating cold-blooded cavalry.
At this rate, it won't be long before a fully formed cold-blooded cavalry team is born.
The next day, August 30th.
Lear sent his troops out early this morning, and the hunt continued.
It is worth mentioning that Bubblemon, who had given birth to a baby before, finally regained his strength and began to join the battle sequence.
The number of available Bubble Beasts in his hand was instantly restored to 26.
In the past few days, high-intensity hunting was required, so there was no rush to let Bobo, the unborn bubble beasts, give birth to babies.
Except for the two Bubble Beasts who were left to maintain the operation of the territory, everyone else joined the battle sequence.
Scarlet Queen brought 18 Bubble Beasts, and Haggis brought 6.
The cold-blooded cavalry he trained two days ago have all completed their transformation today, and three new teams have joined the battle.
The number of cold-blooded cavalry has reached 5 squads, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Lear did not participate in it and handed over the hunting task to the two horses. He stayed to guard the territory and dealt with the backlog of government affairs with Bain.
The territory is expanding rapidly, and everything needs to be arranged.
However, there were obviously not enough administrative staff, and the various departments he had asked Bain to set up before were only a framework until now.
It has not yet been put into actual operation.
Otherwise there are too few talents.
The literacy rate of the people in the swamp is relatively high, but less than half of the hundreds of people are literate, and only half of the half, more than 20 people, can handle official business.
The feathered Delsa people are naturally timid, illiterate and unable to do anything.
In addition, the clever Frye went into the blacksmith shop and studied suitable armor for the cold-blooded cavalry day and night, showing no interest in government affairs at all.
Wetland lizardmen are completely equipped with fighting brains. It is purely funny to let them fight more fiercely and to handle government affairs.
The cavemen who were previously enslaved, the holy body born to mine, the best among cattle and horses, the ruled class.
Overall, the scale of Weilu City has expanded, but the quality of its talents is unsatisfactory.
Faced with this situation, Lear was also helpless.
In the end, he simply captured the swamp banshee and captured him.
These magical beings are much smarter than ordinary people. They have a complete knowledge system and handle government affairs in an orderly manner.
However, the other party soon felt bored and boring about it. There was no emotional gain in dealing with government affairs, and it was completely incomparable with drama.
After the wise swamp banshee concluded, she immediately made a suggestion——
Since you can’t find suitable talents, why can’t you train them yourself?
This attracted Lear's attention.
Look at the Swamp Banshee with a scrutinizing gaze.
It was immediately decided to appoint them as chief popularization officers of cultural knowledge, and they would conduct two hours of literacy popularization and knowledge transfer every day after dark.
When other people serve as teachers, the residents of the territory may not be willing to learn, but the Swamp Banshees are different. The exaggerated popularity accumulated through dramas can make them extremely popular.
Of course, the most important thing is their singing.
It can make people fall into illusions, taste fear, ecstasy and even death.
It can be used both for fighting and for passing on knowledge.
Lear implemented this decision that day, and when the sky was dark and he returned from the territorial gathering, he ordered the teaching to begin.
As soon as the Swamp Banshee opened her mouth, the residents who were still a little restless were immediately attracted.
I was mesmerized as I listened to the Swamp Banshee lecture on basic knowledge, common language writing, and spelling.
The immersion she showed was even more amazing than the most serious students.
At the end of the day's teaching, even the elderly with the worst receptive ability shouted excitedly that they had learned 50 common words.
The teaching efficiency is simply exaggerated and amazing.
Lear was very happy about this. With this efficiency, parents on Earth would be able to sell their houses and come here to give their children tutoring.
Immediately reward the other person with a night of drama.
Then it was stipulated that every three days of imparting knowledge, they would be rewarded with a performance.
This excited the Swamp Banshee.
After the play, another class was held overnight, which made the residents of the territory say that they had grown brains, and the messy knowledge was deeply imprinted in their souls.
When they got up the next day, they were surprised to find that they still remembered the knowledge firmly.
Everyone is running around telling each other, and you can see people writing on the ground everywhere, showing off their profound cultural heritage.
Even when working, he had to squat on the ground with a proud smile and write a few words before he could continue working. This made the foreman very angry, and he imposed a strict rule that no writing was allowed during work.
The Swamp Banshee has made progress, and the Scarlet Queen Bee who returned from the night hunt has also gained a lot.
The Bubblemon's bubbles were filled with carcasses, and after a whole day of hunting, more than 3,000 were harvested!
The Scarlet Queen flew directly out of the swamp and entered the wilderness to hunt.
The ultra-high movement speed of flying lifeforms gives them a wider range of exploration.
Tens of kilometers can be easily leapt in less than half an hour.
This makes their gains very exaggerated.
Hagus on the other side also brought back seven to eight hundred corpses. Today they encountered not many wild monster gathering places, but there were quite a few of them. In terms of the number of people, they had already overfulfilled the task.
Lear was delighted and continued to cultivate cold-blooded cavalry.
Under the accumulation of massive corpses, the number of cold-blooded cavalry being promoted exceeded 6 squads.
If they are all listed, the number of level 11 cavalry in hand will directly exceed that of a squadron.
I feel very happy.
This is how to train an army.
Late night came quickly. In the early morning, the time hand crossed the 12 o'clock mark. August passed quietly and the time came to September 1st.
A brand new month is also a time for information to be refreshed again.
