Chapter 109 A new round of intelligence updates, surprises in succession (5800 words)
The appearance of the desolate grave made Lear very happy.

Although this guy is not yet an adult, his fighting ability is not weak.

Moreover, the other party is still constantly devouring the power emanating from the flesh and blood of the Grand Duke of the Abyss.

4-star potential, the level cap is as high as 15! !

The Wasteland Graveyard is only level 12 now, and there is still huge room for improvement.

If it continues to devour like this, perhaps it won't take long for it to evolve from a cub's grave to an adult grave.

As the opponent's rank increases, the level of its main combat method - Grave Guardian - will also increase.

The future is expected.

Lear took a long look at the weed-covered grave.

The only problem now is that the Grave Guardian is still quite far from the upper limit of 1000.

Let’s capture some souls these days and increase the number of grave guards to the upper limit.

[The intelligence system has cooled down and can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh? ]

The information suddenly displayed by the intelligence system in his mind brought Lear back to his senses.

I glanced at the time and realized it was already early morning. On the 15th, another intelligence update!
I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

His face confirmed with great anticipation.

Refresh!

The next moment, the intelligence system immediately revealed new information.

[1. Mud Swamp → 30 kilometers to the east, there is a low pool of water where 300 wetland lizardmen live. (1 star)]

[2. 25 kilometers southwest of the City of Wisdom, there is a thorny bush forest. These bushes are natural arrow shaft materials. Not only are they straight in appearance and do not require additional processing, but they are also tough and have a strong affinity for magic. When paired with the wings of a red-headed pheasant, they can produce 2-star arrows. (2 stars)]

[3. Night elves have a strong affinity for plants. Green Grass Granny can use spiritual magic to bind them to the buildings built by star vines. With the help of the power of spiritual plants, they can quickly upgrade their levels. (2 stars)]

[4. On September 9, 18 kilometers west of the muddy swamp, a space turbulence will appear. This space turbulence is caused by the collapse of the ancient ruins outside the city of Luolan. At that time, some people exploring the ruins will be swept away. After the turbulence stops, a stable space crack will appear. This crack will last for a month. (20 stars)]

[5. The herd of giant horned deer in the swamp will stay 25 kilometers southeast of the territory for half a month, looking for fragrant mushrooms that only grow in September every year. After taking the mushrooms, they will have a hallucinogenic effect and fall asleep for half an hour at sunset. (9 stars)]

The value of the information updated this time is much higher than before.

And finally, 3-star intelligence appeared.

Lear was greatly encouraged and looked carefully.

The first one gave him a surprise.

Swamp → East, there are 300 more wetland lizardmen? !

More than a hundred cold-blooded cavalrymen were killed in battle, and the manpower was greatly damaged.

This group of wetland lizardmen is a timely relief.

comfortable.

The second piece of information was about making arrows.

Currently, the night elves are the only archers in the territory.

In the previous battle in the ruins, although the night elves showed superb archery skills, they were troubled by the ineffective weapons in their hands.

Even if you shoot the mechanical puppet, it will have no effect.

After the entire battle, it could only create some chaos in the aftermath and failed to play a decisive role.

If they were equipped with high-level longbows and sharper arrows, the effect would be completely different.

These ranged attack powers require more equipment than melee attacks.

In close combat, you can rely on your own strength and combat skills to fight the enemy.

For a type of soldier like archers, their arrows cannot penetrate the enemy's defense if they are blunt.

Moreover, the place where these materials are located is not a dangerous place, and the red-headed pheasant had been captured before.

You can get it back tomorrow morning.

The third piece of information is still about the night elves.
Can the magic power of Grandma Green Grass still be used on them?
Lear felt a little surprised.

Binding to spiritual plants can quickly increase levels. This is very consistent with the City of Wei Lu.

Spiritual plants that are rare in other places are abundant here.

The night elves are now at level 9. If they can be upgraded to level 10 or 11, and equipped with 2-star arrows.

Combat effectiveness will surely leap forward.

As the only long-range support force besides the Bubble Beasts, these night elves are also worthy of key training.

Article 4, Intelligence value 3 stars——

On the 18th, the space turbulence caused by the collapse of the ancient ruins will sweep away some of the ruins explorers.

Li Er thought of the information he got in Loran City - ancient ruins will collapse in the wilderness, which will attract a large number of lives to compete for them and hinder his way to the territory.

Combining this information, it is obviously the collapsed ruins.

My goodness, the mud swamp is thousands of kilometers away from Loran City.

It is at least four or five hundred kilometers away from the collapsed ruins.

Can it still reach so far away?
But in an instant, I was full of anticipation.

The rich benefits he obtained from the goblin ruins aroused his great interest in ancient ruins.

After the turbulence appears, the space rift will stabilize and last for a month.

Enough to go in and explore.

I continued looking down and saw the last piece of information.

My breathing suddenly became faster.

Swamp Giant Deer!!

He was deeply impressed by the tall, giant deer with ferocious and handsome horns on their heads.

It's such a hallmark of a fantasy world.

Especially the giant-horned deer king with 4-star potential, which he had been coveting for a long time.

But before, due to lack of strength and means, there was nothing we could do about them.

Unexpectedly, the intelligence system provided key information.

You like mushrooms, right? Then eat as much as you can.

Moreover, the deer would stay in that area for half a month, which gave him plenty of time to make plans.

I was very excited.

The information obtained this time is much more valuable than the previous times!!
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the desolate graves beside him and smiled happily.

It's a double happiness tonight.

After finishing the business here, he didn't stay any longer. After instructing Huangfen to live in harmony with the scarlet queen bee, he returned to his territory and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, when Lear woke up, he immediately summoned Hags and the night elves.

First he looked at Hagus and gave the order directly.

"Swamp → 30 kilometers east, there is a group of more than 300 wetland lizardmen. Take a squadron of cold-blooded cavalry and bring them back immediately!"

Haggs' eyes lit up immediately.

The master has made another discovery?!

300 tribesmen, enough to make up for the losses from the day before yesterday

He patted his chest and answered loudly.

"Complete the mission resolutely!"

He immediately mounted his swift lizard excitedly, assembled a squadron of cold-blooded cavalry, and headed out.

Among the wetland lizardmen, higher-level ones have compulsory control over lower-level ones.

If it weren't for the sake of safety, even sending three or five cold-blooded cavalrymen would be enough to subdue the group of wetland lizardmen.

Of course, this is when the enemy has no heroes, and the heroes have a higher level of command authority.

After Hags left, Lear looked at Ishani.

The skin of the night elves is not the black of the drow elves, but snow-white with a hint of crystal clearness.

Once you enter invisibility, you will completely transform into nothingness.

Even the weapons and clothes on the body can be pulled into the shadows.

This also makes the night elves look very good and pleasing to the eye.

"If you were to bind to a spiritual plant, would you be able to gain power faster?"

Ishani nods.

"Sir, we have a natural affinity for plants, and we can gain greater power from them."

"Spiritual plants are unique, rare, and can gain greater power!"

There was also a hint of pride in their tone. This was a talent bestowed upon them by the God of Nature, an unparalleled talent.

But after saying this, he thought of the terrifying power of this tall and mighty being in front of him, and immediately suppressed his remaining pride.

Lear gave the other man a deep look.

"Although you have joined the City of Wisdom, you have not yet made many contributions."

"But in the goblin ruins, I lived and died with the army and never feared a fight."

"I will not ignore your contribution."

He gestured around.

“Do you see the buildings around you?”

Hearing this, Ishani's breath shuddered.

"Sir, can you allow us to use the power of these buildings?"

The building woven with starry sky vines has always been the private domain of the Vine Fairy and the Green Grass Granny.

As latecomers, although they also coveted these spiritual plants, they knew their own limitations and dared not make any demands.

Lear said slowly.

"You are too weak now."

"The enemy we are facing next is very powerful, and we need you to play your role."

The vine fairy cultivates starry vines day and night, and can gain promotion with the help of the original energy provided by the huge number.

As for the power hidden in the vines, they basically cannot use it.

It will only be called upon when there is a need to integrate into the invasion of foreign enemies.

Grandma Green Grass was simply adding some spirit to the Starry Sky Vines.

There is no need to worry about any conflicts between them.

Isani felt a little depressed when she heard the first half of the sentence. Compared with the powerful army of the City of Dew, the night elves had nothing to show for it.

But after hearing the latter part, he immediately became excited.

He placed his right hand on his chest and bowed humbly.

"Thank you for your gift!"

"Night elves, we will fight for your will!!"

Lear was not vague and immediately waved his hand to call Green Grass Mother-in-law over.

Nine old green grass ladies with fluffy white reed hair, wrinkled faces, and looked very old soon appeared before their eyes.

Li Er directly ordered them to use spirits to bind the night elves to the buildings woven with starry vines.

After Grandma Green Grass responded, she immediately took action.

Their operation is also very simple. Let the night elves enter the building and then cast some spirits.

The next moment, the power within the night elf surged out and resonated with the starry vines.

The forces of both sides reflected each other, and gradually tended to merge into one.

This process brings benefits to both parties.

Win-win.

The night elves have an extraordinary affinity for plants, so the whole process was simple and easy, and it didn't take long before everything was integrated with the building.

Some large buildings, such as the Blacksmith Shop, have more night elves bound to them.

In this way, these 150 night elves were not left behind.

With his own spiritual plants, Lear could feel the power in them rising and falling, sometimes high, sometimes low.

Obviously, there is still a period of adjustment. Seeing this, he let the night elves slowly experience it on their own and turned around and left the area.

After taking a few steps, he saw the two-headed ogre chief coming towards him.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand to stop the other party.

"Et, take 10 Bubble Beasts and a squadron of Cold-Blooded Cavalry and go 25 kilometers southwest. There is a bush suitable for making arrows there."

"Go cut some down and bring it back."

The two-headed ogre chief had so much strength that he had no place to vent it, so he was looking for an enemy to test himself on.

He immediately agreed and took people out.

For the first time, I was expecting to encounter some powerful enemies on the road.

Looking at the two-headed ogre chieftain leaving in a hurry, Lear found it a little funny. After thinking for a while, he called Baine again.

When you see the Swampman Hero, ask directly.

“How many red-headed pheasants are there now?”

The Red-headed Pheasant mentioned in the previous two intelligence reports is not a magical life form like the Dragon Blood Red Fish, but it is also very delicious.

After he captured it, he kept it in captivity near his territory.

Bain said softly.

"Sir, there are only 200 golden pheasants at present. They are not only growing well, but also laying a lot of eggs. In the past few days, hundreds of hens have started to hatch eggs."

"It is expected that in a week, thousands of chicks will hatch."

The Horn of Plenty can halve the growth period of the bound livestock, and also significantly reduce the hatching period.

This binding can be untied at any time, so Lear bound the red-headed pheasant early on.

Moreover, chickens do reproduce faster than pigs. Hens can lay eggs for 20 days a month.

With the blessing of the Horn of Plenty, the whole process from laying eggs to hatching chicks can be completed in one month.

"Go find some male golden pheasants and take their wings."

"Their feathers are used to make arrows and are top-quality material."

Upon hearing this, Bain went down to make arrangements with great interest.

Lear looked at the other person's back as he left, feeling somewhat satisfied.

As the territory grows, more and more talents become available.

It is no longer a situation where there are only a few big and small fish.

These basic tasks can be completed without his personal involvement.

Saves a lot of energy and time.

The first three pieces of intelligence were arranged neatly and efficiently.

There are only two left, so there is no need to rush.

At noon, the two-headed ogre chief returned first, but the most eye-catching thing was the bubble of the bubble beast.

It was filled with straight branches.

Like an industrial product coming off an assembly line.

As thick as an index finger, all are one meter long.

Those that exceed this length will grow to two meters very accurately.

There will be a gentian in the middle, and if you break it off you will get branches of the same length and size.

It looks magical.

And these branches are filled with 50 bubbles!
Apparently the two-headed ogre chieftain had gone mad and had cleared away all the thorn bushes.

"Master, that thorn bush is hundreds of acres in size, and we only took a small part of it."

Lear's eyes lit up.

Hundreds of acres?
Then you won’t have to worry about the next arrows.

He glanced again at the densely packed branches.

It was nothing more than the tip on the intelligence system that the arrow shafts in the thorn forest were natural ones, and they looked no different from the refined ones.

The two-headed ogre chief still felt a little regretful at this time.

"Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any enemies along the way."

Lear was amused.

"Go and have a rest, Dark Naga's most powerful 14th level war god. I'll leave it to you to handle next time!"

"Don't be like before when facing the Plague Fly General"

The two-headed ogre chief's face turned red and he immediately raised his head and responded.

“I will definitely not let you down this time!”

The materials for the arrow shaft were prepared, and the feathers on the wings and tail of the red-headed pheasant were removed.

The rest of the hair cannot be used and can only be made into daily necessities.

Lear was now in high spirits, so he went to the blacksmith shop and handed the materials to the leader of the Frye people, Brin.

After receiving the task, the mid-level craftsman immediately started working.

Those thorn trees were almost natural arrows, all as thick as an index finger.

It can even be used without processing.

Brin first inlaid the feathers into the tail of the arrow, and after adjusting it, he forged a metal arrowhead on site and installed it.

Suddenly, an arrow with a simple shape and plain appearance took shape.

Lear looked intently.

The attribute panel immediately appeared in my mind.

Thorn Arrow
[Level]: 2 star

[Features]: Extreme speed, arrow flight speed increased by an additional 40%.

Piercing: Arrows have an additional 40% penetration.

[Evaluation]: Although simple to make, thorn wood is friendly to magic and has excellent effects.

Wow, with such simple manufacturing, you can get a 2-star level arrow?

Lear was amazed.

He handed it to Ishani, and the night elf immediately fell in love with it after taking it.

She clearly felt that this arrow was several levels stronger than the one in the quiver behind her.

The leader of the Frye people was also a little proud at this moment.

"Sir, don't underestimate the simplicity of its manufacture, but the details are all passed down from our ancestors."

"Especially the arrowhead of this arrow, it is very particular."

"This kind of thorn wood is straight, highly compatible with magic, and quite heavy. When paired with the red-headed pheasant feathers, which are also heavier than ordinary feathers, it is suitable for using cross-shaped armor-piercing arrows."

"If you change the feathers, the arrows will have to be adjusted."

Upon hearing this, Lear immediately looked at Brin with a higher opinion.

This Frye guy is really good at what he does.

Unreserved praise.

“Yes, well done!”

"Do we have enough manpower now? Can we spare some to make arrows?"

Brin immediately felt helpless.

"Sir, the manpower needed to forge weapons is already very limited. If we transfer more people here, we won't be able to continue the work."

They only have 30 people, and they can't handle the work even if they work around the clock.

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a few swamp people walking by not far away, and immediately said.

"Sir, the Swamp People are also natural craftsmen. Although their forging skills are not as good as those of the Frye People, they should not be underestimated. We can select some of them and give them the task of making arrows."

"Let's forge the arrowheads first, and let them assemble the rest, no problem at all!"

Normal arrows and arrow shafts require many processing steps.

However, these thorn trees are natural arrow shaft materials and can be used directly, which saves a lot of trouble.

On the contrary, the difficulty lies in matching which arrows.

Now that this problem has been solved, the remaining work is assembly.

Lear nodded.

There was no hesitation and he immediately asked Bain to select 30 people to be responsible for making arrows.

Under the guidance of the Fry people, the assembly skills were quickly learned.

This batch of arrows can be mass-produced using molds at a very fast speed.

In less than half a day, the blacksmith shop produced 5000 sharp arrowheads.

Later on, it can be given to the swamp man for a little polishing and can be used directly.

It's easier to get things done when there are more people.

After finishing this task, the Frye people continued to devote themselves to the task of repairing weapons.

Compared to forging arrowheads, these are big projects.

Lear couldn't help but sigh as he watched the busy Frye people, whose soles were almost rubbed with sparks.

There are still too few people.

Especially talents like Frye.

When we have time, we still need to bring more people back.

Eating coarse food and toughing it out is not a solution.

By the evening, another good news came back that Haggs had brought back all 300 wetland lizardmen!
Lear was mentally prepared for this and remained calm.

With this level 12 hero out there, how dare those wetland lizardmen disobey?!
The reason for bringing the cold-blooded cavalry is to avoid encountering powerful enemies in the wilderness, otherwise the enemy can be conquered by just one person.

Those wetland lizardmen were more submissive than Lear had imagined, and they didn't show any resistance at all.

The moment the cold-blooded cavalry rushed in front of them, these wetland lizardmen surrendered immediately.

Looking at the fierce warrior in front of him, his saliva almost drooled.

This is a legendary troop among the Lizardmen!!

So many appeared in an instant.

After hearing that they could change their job to become cold-blooded cavalry as long as they joined the City of Wei Lu, they did not hesitate at all and hurriedly followed Hags back without even taking the little food stored at home.

I was afraid that I would be disliked if I walked too slowly.

If I can change my job and become a cold-blooded cavalryman, why would I need a bicycle?

They are the most loyal fighters!
A lizardman's desire to become a cold-blooded cavalryman is as strong as an ordinary person's desire to become a dragon rider.

Now that the opportunity is in front of us, who can resist such temptation?

Lear was in a good mood looking at the dark crowd.

Each of these warriors, who are now only level 6, is a reserve cold-blooded cavalry!

As long as there is enough blood and flesh, his strength will increase dramatically in a few days.

In the face of Lear's surging divine power, under the leadership of Haggs, the wetland lizardmen tremblingly swore allegiance to him.

The whole process was smooth and seamless without any hindrance.

Once you become strong, it will be easy to do the previous things.

Even in the future, he won't need to show up, these armies will prostrate themselves before him on the land of the City of Witness.

After accepting their loyalty, he did not hesitate and directly ordered the continued training of cold-blooded cavalry.

Not to mention anything else, the lost troops should be replenished first.

There are still several tough battles to be fought, whether it is the Dark Naga or the demigod who may appear at any time and whom he hates to the core - the Lord of Stench and Flies.

Or maybe the Swamp Authority will appear in mid-October and we will face the flying dragon.

None of them is easy to deal with.

Only when you have a strong army can you have confidence.
