Lear's eyes flickered.

This 5-star intelligence was too heavy-weight and pointed directly at him.

Judging from previous experience, the more advanced the intelligence, the greater the collateral impact.

It is not as simple as just dealing with the intelligence shown on the surface.

He needs to consider more implications.

However, from the moment he became enemies with the Lord of Stench and Flies, he had already been prepared for this scene to happen.

It wasn't too surprising.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his emotions, he looked back at the first line.

In terms of level, this intelligence sheet is definitely a big explosion.

The first one is 2-star intelligence.

Keld Ratman!
The first day he entered the swamp, he was deeply impressed by the endless number of monsters he encountered.

Unexpectedly, it was just as they said. These rats were hunting dragons and had already killed the red dragon in the Dark Mountains!

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The information previously provided by the night elves - the Keld Skaven occupied one-third of the Dark Mountains, and their number was too large to be counted.

He had been busy before and had no energy to pay attention to this matter.

But now it’s different. The development of all aspects of the territory requires huge amounts of flesh and blood as nutrients.

The Ratmen are famous for their numbers.

He showed great interest in this.

What's more, the Rat Queen has already noticed the passage on the surface. Given the nature of those rats, they will surely come back again in no time.

By then, Weilu City will definitely be the first to be hit and become their hunting target.

The individual combat power of the Kelder Ratman is not high, but they can even kill dragons, so they should not be underestimated.

But, isn't this what makes it fun?
The corners of Lear's mouth curled up slightly, and he was inexplicably looking forward to the arrival of the mice.

While thinking, he looked at the second one.

Mudworm!

This ancient life just awakened today, and information about the other party has appeared.

This guy is really lucky.

Intelligence is currently divided into two major categories. The first category is the direct benefit type that provides information about population, resources, and treasures.

Just like this hint now - where is the treasure that can increase the power of mud worms.

This is how Haggs, the wetland lizardman hero, was upgraded step by step to level 12.

Wherever there are resources and population, it can be attributed to this.

The second type is danger warning.

From the moment he stepped into the wilderness, Lear relied on early warning intelligence to avoid the crisis of Duolun's destruction.

Know the pros and cons.

Other intelligence is related to interests, while danger warning intelligence is related to life and death, so he attaches more importance to it.

Except for the second piece of intelligence, the other four pieces of information updated this time are warning types.

It is quite rare.

Looking at Article 3——

An ancient castle appeared in the wilderness, and its owner, a level 17 dragon lich, was seeking expansion.

Although it is 300 kilometers away from the mud swamp, since the intelligence has pointed out this point, the opponent's tentacles will inevitably extend to the swamp in the near future.

Level 17.

Lear's eyes looked a little serious.

The higher the level, the more difficult it is to upgrade and the greater the gap.

Although there is only a difference of two levels between level 17 and level 15, the combat effectiveness differs by several times.

Dragon liches are a type of life that is more evil and powerful than ordinary liches. They are liches transformed from dragons after their death.

While being proficient in dragon spells, he also possesses the characteristics of the undead.

Extremely difficult to deal with.

In many legends of the main plane of Norn, dragon liches play an important villain role.

It is said that in a dark forest inside the Northern Province, there lives a dragon lich of extraordinary level.

No one has ever dared to set foot in that dark forest, not even the army of the Griffin Empire.

The level 17 dragon lich is not as ferocious and powerful as the extraordinary one, but it can definitely suffocate people.

The rating alone says it all.

new enemies.

And in Lear's view, this enemy poses no less threat than the Lord of Stench and Flies.

The opponent can directly join the battle, instead of the Lord of Stench and Flies operating across the plane.

But he is different now.

I have enough cards in my hand to deal with it, so I am not that worried.

The fourth piece of information is more interesting. The Anthem Clan - the culprit that forced Ishani and other night elves to flee to the surface.

I didn’t expect that these night elves also planned to establish a base on the surface.

Those rats want to come, and the night elves want to come too. Do they really think that the surface of the earth is a big piece of fat meat and they can eat it whenever they want?

Lear smacked the taste.

There are 150 night elves in hand, which is a bit too few.

Several waves can be added if the number of ranged troops can reach 5 squadrons.

The role it played in the battle was absolutely significant.

Once the blacksmith shop forges the new high-level longbows, these night elves will become even more ferocious.

However, these night elves are as dangerous as level 17 dragon liches.

This made him frown a little.

It seems that this Hymn Clan is not that simple.

Then I thought of what Ishani said before, that the other party was favored by the God of the Night Elves, and perhaps it was related to the gods?
Li suddenly felt a headache.

It seems that after he obtained the swamp godhood, he could no longer be separated from God.

I met gods one after another.

In Luolan City, I have lived for so long, but I have never heard of anyone encountering a god.
After calming down, Lear quietly felt the city of Dew gradually becoming quieter outside the window.

Overall, the intelligence this time is very useful.

Although it is a crisis, if used well, it can also be turned into an opportunity.

I walked to the window and looked towards the brightly lit blacksmith shop.

There was some joy in his eyes.

Now, he also has the power to turn the situation around.

No longer as passive as before!
Early morning on July 10th.

After Lear got up, he immediately called Haggs and Bain.

Informed them of several important pieces of information.

Finally said.

"The outside world will be unstable for some time to come, so you need to be more cautious."

"Hagus, take your men to retrieve the sun fruit first."

"At the same time, search the area where we encountered the Keld ratmen before. This will be a key patrol point in the future."

"Baine, be alert in the territory as well."

"As you wish!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After saying this, Lear fell into deep thought again.

It seems that now is the time to deploy an army dedicated to guarding the territory.

The current territory guarding missions are all carried out by personnel temporarily transferred from the army.

It doesn't matter if there is no war.

But when he leads the team out, he will face a choice: who will be left behind to protect the team?

With a professional army, there would be no need to make temporary arrangements every time.

But which army should we choose?

And having an army is not enough, you also need a strong enough general to lead it.

Otherwise, when faced with an unexpected crisis, we will be in a dilemma where no one can make a decision.

As the chief political officer, Bain was naturally responsible for government affairs, but he was obviously unable to handle military affairs.

After careful consideration, Lear came up with the idea of ​​corrupting the Naga.

This army of 300 people is at level 12.

And there is a level 15 Naga King in command.

If they were allowed to garrison the territory and be paired with ancient tree-man guardians, their strength would be able to meet the needs.

Leave another level 15 big demon to cooperate with it.

Then there will be enough protection. Drawing these troops will not affect the external wars.

I made a decision immediately.

Li Er waved his hand and asked someone to call the Naga King stationed in the scarlet carrion land.

When the 3.5-meter-tall Naga hero holding the Scepter of Destruction arrived, he immediately gave the order.

"Dodoru, the Corrupted Naga will take over the defense of the City of Wisdom from now on."

"Daily duties are to patrol, defend against enemies, and resolve crises that arise suddenly."

"I appoint you as the chief city defense officer, with full command of the territory's city defense forces."

The territory is expanding rapidly, and these divisions of labor must be made clear to avoid chaos.

In the future, external troops will no longer be involved in tedious tasks such as territory patrols.

The force that is directed outward is external, and the guard force is responsible for guarding, which is similar to the difference between the police and the army.

"Your will is above all else!"

After being transformed, the soul of the Naga King completely belongs to Lear, and he will execute any order of Lear 100%.

Even let him commit suicide!
Lear nodded and looked at Bane.

"Inform Dodoru of the current detailed situation of the territory. Mark out the areas that need the most defense and patrol, and have the Corrupted Nagas stationed there."

"In the future, you will need to work together to protect our territory."

Bane also perked up.

Before, power was not separated, and when Lear left the territory, he was also responsible for part of the military command.

I was already overwhelmed by the tedious government affairs, and my energy was consumed by this, so I couldn't help but feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Not everyone has such a strong desire for power. Now that he doesn't have to worry about it, he suddenly feels that the world has become brighter.

There was no hesitation. He took the Naga King down and began to introduce the territory in detail.

He emphasized the areas that he felt needed the most protection.

As a semi-undead being, the Corrupted Naga does not need to rest or eat.

It only needs to return to the scarlet carrion land every once in a while to absorb some scarlet energy to maintain it.

Very suitable as a guard corps.

After they all went down, Lear felt a little better.

Now he finally has a few capable people at hand, and it is no longer as urgent as before, when he does not need to do everything himself.

By noon, Haggs returned with his army.

As promised, he retrieved the treasure that could allow mudworms to transform - the sun fruit.

The sun fruit is not a single fruit, but a plant.

The leaves are like burning flames, giving a feeling of vigorous vitality.

There are seven or eight fist-sized fruits hanging from the top of this half-human-high plant.

Each one is bright red, like the sun rising in the morning.

If you get a little closer, you can feel the energy contained in the fruit, and it feels like a heat wave.

Lear looked at it carefully with full curiosity, and its detailed attributes appeared in his mind.

太阳果

[Level]: 2 star

[Characteristics]: Contains unique energy that can burn the remaining waste energy in the blood and purify the blood.

[Evaluation]: A unique fruit that can purify the blood, but after taking it, one will suffer extreme pain that ordinary life cannot endure.

The food is indeed not bad, but this evaluation shows that it is obviously not suitable for normal life.

Lear was not vague either. He took the sun fruit to the fish pond, called the mud worms that were still rolling in the mud, and fed them the food.

After swallowing five sun fruits in a row, the mud worm's body suddenly turned a little red.

It was boiling hot, like a roasted prawn.

With a howl of pain, he plunged into the mud and sank.

It can be clearly felt that the mudworm has become a hot furnace and is being roasted madly.

The surrounding magic power surged down, penetrating the mud and entering the mud worm's body.

Waves of painful wails came from underground, the sound penetrating the turbid mud and becoming muffled.

But it's even more creepy.

This transformation was obviously not easy.

After observing silently for nearly an hour, the energy in the mud worm's body was still fluctuating violently.

It was like a fire that had been ignited and then doused with gasoline, and was burning madly.

Bubbles emerged from the turbid mud, and the water temperature around it rose noticeably.

Many small fish living in the mud floated to the surface of the water with their bellies turned up.

With a slight perception, Lear shook his head.

At this rate of transformation, it will take a long time to complete the transformation.

At this moment, suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and the sound of flapping wings was heard.

Lear looked up and saw a group of scarlet wasps with blood spots on their bodies flying in the distance.

The swarm of bees did not return with a large number of corpses as in the past, but instead brought back a huge, strange black spider.

Its lower body is that of a spider and its upper body is that of a human.

The spider's body is covered with black spots and covered with tiny hairs, which looks terrifying and makes people tremble with fear.

Huhu~
The swarm landed and placed the spider man on the ground.

The queen bee buzzed her wings and approached Lear.

Thoughts surge out.

In a moment, Lear turned his head with some surprise and looked at the spider-like man standing more than 3 meters on the ground.

"Are you here to trade with the City of Wisdom?"

The spider-like man, who looked to be in his early twenties with black spots all over his face, slowly stepped forward, placed his right hand on his chest and spoke respectfully and elegantly.

"Yes, my Lord, the High Priest predicted yesterday that a powerful force had emerged in the swamp."

"You have what we need."

"So I stopped where your men were and begged to trade with you."

No lies.

Lear raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the other person intently, and his attributes appeared in his mind.

Spider Banshee, Level: Level 11, Potential: 3 stars, Racial talent: Weaving Death Web, Skills: Hunting Web, Corruption Poison, Spider Web Trap.

Level 11?
"How can I believe you? You should know that in the wilderness, it is difficult for people of the same race to live in peace."

The Spider-Woman said in a deep voice.

"Sir, in order to gain your friendship, we are willing to give our utmost sincerity. This is our gift to you."

As he said this, he took out a cloth bag from his waist and presented it with both hands.

Lear's eyes moved slightly.

The black cloak behind him rolled up quietly, and a mist turned into an arm, taking the cloth bag from the other person's hand.

Open directly.

Wow~
A pile of shiny, coin-sized metal fell onto the grass.

The sound of collision was crisp.

gold?

Lear's eyes narrowed, but he immediately rejected it.

After the golden metals fell to the ground, the magical energy around them became noticeably agitated.

Become more active.

This is not a property of gold.

Look at it intently.

精金
[Level]: Special
[Features]: Used to forge weapons, can greatly improve the performance of weapons.

[Evaluation]: It is an associated substance of gold veins, extremely rare and in very small quantities.

Li Er's breathing froze when he saw the attribute panel clearly in his mind.

Adamantite?!
These are actually refined golds that are as famous as mithril!
And judging from the appearance, there must be at least two or three hundred gold coins, about ten pounds!
Ten pounds? ! !
After Li Er confirmed it, when he looked at the spider-woman again, he suddenly felt a breath of rich people coming towards him.

Mithril is often used as an additive to weapons. A thumb-sized amount of mithril can greatly improve weapon performance.

These ten or so pounds can be used to forge hundreds of high-end equipment.

The value is immeasurable.

This is the hidden treasure of almost all major forces and is not for sale.

This is a generous gift.

"Sir, this is the sincerity of our Night Shadow Clan."

"Are you interested in hearing about our deal now?"

Interested. Really fucking interested.

Lear had to say that the other party was honest.

He likes dealing with people like this. (End of this chapter)
