Chapter 98 A great harvest
After reading the attributes of the night elves, Li'er felt quite emotional.

It has to be said that the elves, a life form that is famous in the main plane, is not just because of their beauty.

Its strong strength is the foundation.

The opponent's skills, combined with his talent, can only be described as fierce.

If there were warriors leading the way, not many, just a squadron, the Wild Blood Bandits that had been hunting them would be sitting ducks.

He took a deep breath, stared at the bound night elf, and spoke slowly.

"A group of night elves are being hunted down by the Wild Blood Bandits. You are much weaker than the legend says. I am a little disappointed."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the wetland lizardman warriors behind him threw a few heads over.

The ferocious mind of the Wilderness Blood Bandit rolled under it.

"You are unworthy of the reputation of the elves."

The night elf hung on the wall felt ashamed and angry when he saw this.

"That's just because we don't have any tree warriors!"

"Human, you are insulting the great night elves!!"

"Humph, if they were in the underground world, these barbarians would be nothing but pigs!!"

But no matter how hard they tried, their momentum was clearly reduced.

No matter what the excuse is, it cannot change the fact that you are being hunted.

However, the pride in their hearts was greatly dampened when they were easily killed by the enemies who chased them like dogs.

Li'er looked at the angry night elf calmly and fell into deep thought.

In order to enslave these proud lives, some means are needed.

His level has stagnated since the last time he devoured the residual soul of the Half-Malloc God and received a boost.

Being in the swamp, the power of the land constantly strengthens his body and soul.

Although I can feel my body getting stronger every few days, the change is slow.

There is no way to enslave so many night elves.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the air gradually became quiet.

The leader of the night elves suddenly spoke.

"Dear human lord, may I know how you plan to deal with us?"

Li Er looked up, looked directly at the other person, and spoke slowly.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good ideas?"

This made all the night elves silent. So you want us to give you 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 weapons and armor forging secrets in my hands, and I am willing to use them in exchange for our freedom!"

Lear felt strangely familiar.

It’s time to use treasure to buy your life again. It seems like this has happened several times already.

So, the whole world likes to do this?
However, he seemed to like it quite a bit.
Looking at each other with playful eyes.

"not enough."

The night elf leader gritted his teeth.

"I can animate 20 treemen for you and transform them into treemen guardians to protect your territory!"

"Is this a secret method?"

"Yes, but only the blood of the night elves can animate the tree people."

"Can an animated tree man be as strong as my city hall?"

"You must be joking. Your City Hall has a level 14 biological strength only after it has been integrated into the Heart of Darkness."

"The Heart of Darkness is a treasure dug out from a dark tree man that has lived for thousands of years. It is extremely precious and can greatly enhance the strength of living plants. I only have this one."

“But we are still okay”

Seeing that the night elf leader was about to speak, Li Er interrupted.

"No need to say more, you don't realize your situation yet."

“There is no room for bargaining here.”

He didn't have much trust in the night elves. After a period of time, when their souls were strong enough, he would simply enslave them.

By then, won’t all these treasures and secret techniques be his?

Now we are sure that we can squeeze a lot of money out of the other party, which is not bad.

I didn't waste time talking about this and changed the topic.

"Where are you 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 leads to the underground world."

"Why are you on the surface?"

These words seemed to have opened up their scars, and suddenly their breathing became rapid and anger surged.

"Those bastards from the Anthem Clan attacked our territory and occupied our Moon Well!"

“They fled 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 captives.

"The Song Clan?"

"That is a large clan with more than 5000 night elves. They are famous in the Dark Mountains and are favored by the God of the Night Elves."

"We are no match for them."

The night elf leader was holding back his anger as he spoke.

Dark Mountains.

Hearing this word, Lear immediately thought of the monster he encountered on the first day of arriving at the mud swamp - the Keld Ratman!

He was deeply impressed by the countless numbers.

"Do you know the Keld Ratman?"

The night elf leader came to his senses and looked at him in surprise.

"Do you know about the Keld Ratmen? Those filthy creatures occupy one third of the Dark Mountains, and their number is too numerous to count."

"It is said that they are preparing to hunt down the red dragon that is about to die of old age deep in the Dark Mountains."

The tone of voice was a bit complicated when he said this. Those Keld ratmen were so weak individually, but they were hunting red dragons. They were so powerful, but they became captives.
Lear narrowed his eyes.

Hunting down old dead red dragons? He had heard this news before when he was interrogating the Keld Skaven.

Unexpectedly, they confirmed each other.

But that place is too far away and has nothing to do with the City of Wei Lu for the time being.

"Do you know where there are treasures in the underground world? Such as mineral veins, ancient ruins, etc."

"The competition for survival in the underground world is extremely intense. Everything we know is already occupied by others. If we want to get it, we can only snatch it from others."

If the wilderness is the naked rules of the jungle, then the rules of the underworld are ten times bloodier than those of the wilderness.

A world without light breeds the most extreme darkness in the world.

Lear was very curious about the dark land which was said to be rich in treasures but also home to countless brutal races.

However, we have to wait until the later stages of development before we can explore.

After asking for a while and getting no more information, Lear did not stay any longer and turned around and left cleanly.

Looking at his back, all the night elves felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, they are like meat on a chopping board, to be cut and kneaded at will.

There is no room for resistance.

The matter with the night elves was over. Li'er looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon. While thinking, he called the scarlet queen bee.

Let it go hunting with 3 scarlet wasps.

The movements need to be bigger.

The normal development may not be able to deal with the flying dragon in mid-October.

Previously, the Scarlet Queen was still asleep, leaving the Scarlet Wasps to hunt alone. When they encountered powerful creatures, it was difficult to organize an effective attack, which easily caused heavy losses. Now that the Queen is in command, hunting is no longer a problem.

Lear was not satisfied, and ordered Hags to go hunting with two teams of cold-blooded cavalry and three bubble beasts.

The speed of the Cold-Blooded Cavalry is not as fast as the Scarlet Hornets, but they are equally ferocious. Ordinary wild monster gathering places cannot withstand the impact of two 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 lizardmen warriors stationed there, and the flesh slaughterer is in charge.

Plus a revitalized City 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. It is not time for them to start breeding yet. If you want to get meat and blood, you have to hunt outside.

After the army went out, Lear continued to return to the fish pond to make tea.

I felt inexplicably emotional.

All the efforts for so long have finally paid off.

The power accumulated in Weilu City gave him enough energy to operate on multiple fronts.

If it had been when I first arrived at the swamp at the beginning of the month, I wouldn’t have dared to even think about

As I was thinking about it, I saw the red dragon blood fish happily eating fishtail grass in the water, and I felt better.

The military progress was rapid, and production and construction were also not left behind.

Everything is developing steadily.

That night, the army returned and the Scarlet Queen hunted thousands of corpses.

The scarlet wasps returned carrying the bodies like drones.

After the level was upgraded to level 9, Scarlet Hornet's combat effectiveness was improved by several levels.

Moreover, the Scarlet Queen Bee can replenish its numbers immediately after consumption, so she is not afraid of sacrifice at all.

Coupled with the exploration efficiency of flying life, if we were not almost unable to carry it later, today's harvest would be even more abundant.

Hags also brought back more than 300 bodies.

Put them all in the small lizard area and start breeding cold-blooded cavalry.

At this rate, it won’t be long before a complete cold-blooded cavalry will be born.

The next day, January 8st.

Lear sent out his troops early this morning and the hunt continued.

It is worth mentioning that Bubblemon, who had previously given birth to a baby, finally recovered her strength and began to join the battle sequence.

The number of available Bubble Beasts in his hand was restored to 26 at once.

Since they still need to hunt intensively these days, there is no rush for Bobo and other bubble beasts that have not given birth to give birth.

Except for two Bubble Beasts who stayed behind to maintain the operation of the territory, all the others joined the battle sequence.

Scarlet Queen Bee brought 18 Bubble Beasts, while Hags brought 6.

The cold-blooded cavalry that he had hunted and trained in the past two days had all completed their transformation today, and three new teams had joined the battle.

The number of cold-blooded cavalry has reached 5 teams, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Lear did not participate in it, and handed the hunting task to two men. He stayed in the territory and dealt with the backlog of government affairs with Bain.

The territory is expanding rapidly and matters in all aspects need to be arranged.

However, there were clearly not enough administrative staff, and the various departments he had asked Bain to set up were only a framework so far.

It has not yet been put into actual operation.

There are too few talented people.

The literacy rate of the people in the swamp is relatively high, but among the hundred or so people, only less than half can read and write, and only half of this half, about twenty people, can handle official business.

The Delsa people, who are covered with feathers, are naturally timid and cowardly, illiterate, and can't do anything at all.

In addition, the clever Frye people immersed themselves in the blacksmith shop, working day and night to research suitable armor for the cold-blooded cavalry, and had no interest in government affairs at all.

The swamp lizardmen are completely battle-minded. It would be ridiculous to let them fight more fiercely than each other and to let them handle government affairs.

The previously enslaved cave dwellers, natural mining saints, cattle among cattle, the ruled class.

All in all, the scale of Weilu City has expanded, but the quality of its talent is appalling.

Faced with this situation, Lear was helpless.

In the end, they simply captured the swamp banshees as soldiers.

These magical beings are much smarter than ordinary people, have a complete knowledge system, and handle government affairs in an orderly manner.

However, the other party soon felt bored and dull about it. There was no emotional gain from handling government affairs, which was completely incomparable to drama.

After the wise swamp witch concluded, she immediately made a suggestion -

Since we can’t find suitable talents, why can’t we train them ourselves?
This attracted Lear's attention.

He looked at the swamp banshee with a scrutinizing gaze.

It was immediately decided to appoint them as chief cultural knowledge popularization officers, and they would conduct two hours of text popularization and knowledge imparting every day after nightfall.

If other people were teachers, the residents of the territory might not be willing to learn, but it is different for the swamp banshees. The exaggerated popularity accumulated from the drama can make them extremely popular.

Of course, the most important thing is their singing.

It can make people fall into illusions, experience fear, ecstasy and even death.

It can be used for fighting as well as for passing on knowledge.

Lear implemented this decision that day. When it was getting dark and the territory party returned, he ordered the classes to begin.

As soon as the swamp witch opened her mouth, the residents, who were originally a little restless, were immediately attracted.

I was fascinated to listen to the swamp witch talk about the basics, the writing and spelling of the common language.
His immersed look is more amazing than those of the most serious students.

At the end of the class that day, even the elderly with the worst learning ability shouted excitedly that they had learned 50 common characters.

The teaching efficiency is so amazing.

Lear was very happy about this. With such efficiency, parents on Earth would sell their houses and come here to tutor their children.

Reward the other person immediately with a play performance in the evening.

It was then stipulated that they would be rewarded with a performance every three days of imparting knowledge.

This excited the Swamp Banshee.

After the play was over, another class was held overnight, which made the residents of the territory exclaim that they had grown brains. All that messy knowledge was deeply imprinted in their souls.

When they woke up the next day, they were surprised to find that they still remembered the knowledge clearly.

People rushed to tell each other, and everywhere you could see people writing on the ground to show off their profound cultural background.

Even when they were working, they had to squat on the ground with a proud smile on their face and write a few words before they could continue working. This made the foreman very angry, and he made it a mandatory rule that they could not write while working.

There was some progress on the swamp banshee's side, and the scarlet queen bee also had a good harvest after returning from the night hunting.

The bubbles of Bubblemon were filled with corpses. After a whole day of hunting, they harvested more than 3000!
The scarlet queen bee flew directly out of the swamp and into the wilderness to hunt.

The extremely high movement speed of flying creatures gives them a wider range of exploration.

Dozens of kilometers can be easily covered in less than half an hour.

This makes their gains very exaggerated.

On the other side, Hags also brought back seven or eight hundred corpses. There were not many gathering places of wild monsters they encountered today, but their number was not small. Calculated by the number of people, they had exceeded the task.

Delighted, Lear continued to train cold-blooded cavalry.

With a huge amount of corpses piling up, the number of cold-blooded cavalrymen being promoted exceeded 6 squads.

If all of them are put into service, the number of level 11 cavalry in hand will directly exceed that of a squadron.

I feel very happy.

This is how you train an army.

The late night arrived quickly, and in the early hours of the morning, the clock hands passed the 12 o'clock mark. August passed quietly, and it was September 8st.

A brand new month is also the time for intelligence to be refreshed again.
