Lord of Hyranza

"Why is it so troublesome now? There are so many business groups behind your army. They provided so many supplies to the aborigines of our tribe along the way. I just hope that we can think about them when we get monster materials and magic herbs. I will sell these ghost mushrooms to business groups, so many people followed me to the Invercargill Forest, and I also need to raise some supplies to house them."

Suldak patted the magic belt and said to Elder Bai Jide:

"Then let me help you deal with these ghost mushrooms, and you will definitely not suffer any losses."

After finishing speaking, Suldak re-boarded the ghost pattern soldier ant waiting at the side, sat on its back, and asked again:

"By the way, Elder Baijide, will these tribes of yours move to the Dark Worm Valley?"

Elder Bai Jide responded immediately:

"Of course, we must guard the Son of Nature, Lord Suldak, will this be your territory in the future? Can our tribe settle down on your territory?"

It could be seen that there was a trace of worry revealed in Elder Bai Jide's eyes, so Suldak said:

"I will apply to Wilkes City, even if the land in the Three Rivers Plain is replaced, the area of ​​the Dark Insect Valley must be included in my territory."

Then he said: "You go ahead and live here! I promise that in my territory, all the Aboriginal tribes will be completely self-governing, as the Aboriginal tribes in the Invercargill Forest can attest to, I will not interfere with the internal affairs of the aboriginal tribe for any reason, and the aboriginal tribe does not have to worry about the impact of imperial laws on the tribe."

Perhaps Suldak has a good reputation among these aborigines, so Elder Baijide asked seriously:

"I heard that there is a system of recruiting soldiers from the whole people in the decrees of the Green Empire?"

He was probably worried that all the men in the tribe would be forcibly recruited by draft orders, which would be a devastating disaster for any tribe.

Suldak waved his hand and said bluntly: "The decree of the empire does not currently include aboriginal tribes, but having said that, half of my lord's army is tribal aborigines, but this is not because of the compulsory recruitment of all people. Yes, but the tribes took the initiative to apply to join the lord's army, and you will gradually understand some things in the future."

"And I don't plan to open the Dark Worm Valley to the outside for the time being. After all, the World Tree needs a certain growth space, and this place will become a closed area."

"And I don't need to worry about your livelihood. As long as the ghost-striped red ants here are continuously exported as commodities, the economic benefits generated will probably be enough to feed everyone."

After Suldak finished speaking, he saw Elder Bai Jide obviously heaving a sigh of relief.

Only then did Suldak know that Elder Bai Jide had probably been worrying about this all along the way...

Now I heard myself say the promise myself, and it is completely consistent with the message that World Tree passed on to him.

The great elder of the tribe seemed much more relaxed, and even smiled more freely.

Then the two talked a lot about the system and laws of the Green Empire, and the current situation of the empire is not optimistic.

Hearing that all the priests and priests of the Temple of Liberty had left the empire, the elder Baijid even told Surdak that there are many young people in his tribe who are good at some healing methods related to herbs. If Su If Erdak needs it, he can let these young people from the tribe join Suldak's lord army.

Suldak asked Elder Baijid: "Can those young druids come?"

Elder Baijide nodded and replied, "Yes, there will be some druids joining your army."

……

The team entered a huge cave, and Surdak felt that it was more like a closed stadium. The huge space inside could accommodate at least 10 people.

Suldak felt that this place should be the deepest part of the ant nest, because from the entrance, he saw through the darkness a huge belly like a train lying in the middle of the cave. Its huge insect belly is like more than 400 thunder rhinoceros connected at the end, and it exists in the form of one section at a time.

Although the abdomen of this insect is dark red in color, there are very regular white spots on both sides of the abdomen, emitting a glistening white light in the cave.

Thousands of ghost pattern worker ants are busy in this cave. There are at least dozens of exits in this stone room. A group of worker ants carrying orange fraternal eggs are lined up in the cave, and leave here quickly.

What made Suldak feel horrified was that although the worm belly had no front half, it could still produce fraternal eggs normally.

And after the dying ant queen arrived here, it seemed like she was alive...

Chapter 1324 After the War

The strong soldier ant carrying the ghost ant queen groaned and walked to the front of the belly, where the several hundred meters long belly was still laying out the eggs in an orderly manner.

Suldak found that there were more than a dozen male ants on the left and right sides of the queen's abdomen, and they almost all lay down on the ground listlessly, leaning their tails tightly against the side wall of the queen's abdomen, and from time to time And let out a low whine.

The different eggs in the worm's belly are constantly moving backwards under the weak wriggling, and this seems to be the process of the growth of the different eggs in the worm's belly. After moving, when these fraternal eggs completely possessed a hard shell, they also wriggled to the tail of the insect's belly, and then spit out from a constantly opening and closing fleshy wall, one after another, almost every fraternal egg was contaminated. With some slime.

The entire hatching room is full of mucus and sour smell. The worker ants want to place the eggs excreted from the abdomen in the ant nest, and then the worker ants will further clean up the eggs, and wait until these things are done. After finishing, these fraternal eggs will be moved out of this huge delivery room and moved into the surrounding incubation room.

When they saw the queen, all the worker ants stopped what they were doing. Some worker ants carefully put the eggs aside and leaned down towards their queen. doing the same action.

This is welcoming, but it seems to be silently mourning for their king.

This is the first time that the queen ant supported her body with her upper arms after being seriously injured, and then looked at the people around the cave.

Suldak had suspected before that although the ant queen had only half of her body left, with no outriggers, and the hard armor had become shattered, in fact, the ant queen was not injured as badly as imagined. Worse, now it seems that the queen ant is really playing dead on the back of the ghost pattern soldier ant, and it still has the ability to move.

It's just that after it made a simple movement, some blood oozes out from the broken part of its body again.

It can be seen that it is full of desire to return to the belly of the insect. This sixth-order monster now does not have the domineering power of a higher-level monster.

The soldier ants carried the dying ant queen to the front of the insect belly. At this time, Suldak and his party also approached. It was not until they approached that Suldak could feel the huge insect belly nearly hundreds of meters long. What a sense of oppression it brings, the seven or eight meter high insect belly is higher than a three-story building, and the insect belly is completely thick and soft, and the inside is bulging and stuffed.

This side is not the end of the worm's belly, so there is a circular wound in the worm's belly here, and bunches of fresh shredded meat are extending outward, looking like a sea anemone.

The queen was erected by two soldier ants, and under the worship of all the ants, the chest and abdomen were docked with the huge insect abdomen again.

Just after the connection became one, the fleshy strands in the worm's belly quickly burrowed into the queen ant's body, and Suldak seemed to feel that countless nutrients and vitality were poured into the body of the ghost-print queen ant. Some viscous black liquid oozes from the cracks in the hard armor. The liquid seems to solidify quickly when it encounters air, quickly repairing the broken hard armor on its body.

Afterwards, some kind of fusion might be going on, the ghost-striped ant queen let out a hysterical scream, and it erupted with a powerful aura, and that sharp whistling sound made Suldak dizzy.

The wound at the junction of the queen's waist is constantly growing new carapaces, and then its body is tightly connected with the insect's abdomen...

Not only is the cracked hard carapace on the queen's body healing rapidly, but also a thick dura mater formed on the six broken legs. Even Suldak saw a bulging bulge in the transparent dura mater. , that should be the outrigger that the queen ant is about to regenerate.

Amidst the screams, the Queen Ant's body erupted with majestic vitality.

The huge insect abdomen was not as quiet as before. The entire insect abdomen began to wriggle continuously. Hundreds of white-striped windows were arranged around the insect abdomen. Through these fluorescent white windows, Suldak could even clearly see The fraternal eggs are neatly arranged in the belly of the insect.

"I can feel that its soul has at least doubled in size. This section of the worm's abdomen not only retains a strong vitality and resilience, but also retains a part of the soul that was divided by the queen..." the elder Bai Jide looked Standing calmly beside Suldak, looking up at the huge body of the ghost-striped ant queen, he said to Suldak.

Suldak didn't expect Elder Bai Jide to say this, and he didn't understand it for a while, so he asked casually:

"That is to say, when its body was divided into two, did its soul also be torn apart?"

Elder Baijide took a step forward, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the rough and mottled skin of the worm's belly, and said affirmatively:

"At least part of it remained, but after the soul that dominated the body was severely injured, the part of the soul that remained in the belly of the insect became relatively stronger. It is precisely this part of the soul that did not sign a contract with us. This is what I am most worried about. thing."

Suldak's heart trembled slightly, and he asked the Great Elder Bai Jide in a deep voice, "Then what shall we do?"

Great Elder Bai Jide has now become the spokesperson of this world tree, and Suldak is also happy to communicate in this way.

Elder Bai Jide quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry too much, I'm going to arrange some seals here, and then lock them with shackles, and finally come to check the seals every once in a while."

Suldak said: "I can prepare some iron chains, and lock its body here firmly..."

Immediately afterwards, Elder Bai Jide took several druid elders to set up a sealing circle in the cave. The druids had already prepared and carried some magic materials and magic crystals used for the sealing circle with them. The magic materials are very primitive, that is, some magic patterns are engraved on several huge stones around the cave, and then magic crystals are embedded in them.

At most, this kind of magic circle is to suppress some of the power of the ghost-print queen ant, and confine the ghost-print queen in this cave. Once the queen leaves the cave, the sealing magic circle will launch an early warning.

The most important thing to restrain this ghost-print ant queen is to rely on the soul contract signed the day before yesterday.

This time, Suldak and Elder Bai Jide mainly wanted to understand the situation inside the cave of the ghost-striped red ants. Now it seems that the entire red ant group has not weakened in this war.

Then, next, it means that the aborigines of the tribe and the Suldak lord army will further reduce the number of ghost-striped red ants.

The red ants who will bear the brunt of the reduction will be those personal guards who follow the queen ants, because these soldier ants and male ants are all monsters above the second or third level, not only the magic core has been bred in the head, but also the body can decompose The magic materials produced also have high economic value.

Seeing that the queen returned to the cave and became a machine for producing ghost-striped red ants again, Suldak and his team had completed their trip to investigate the ant nest.

By the time Suldak returned to the ground, a large number of tribal aboriginal fighters had rushed to the center of the Dark Worm Valley.

Suldak's lord army was ordered to garrison in the cave, and did not wantonly enter the Dark Worm Valley. Only the Constructed Knights entered the central area of ​​the Worm Valley and set up camp on the vacant grass around the World Tree.

The tribal aboriginal warriors who came to the Dark Insect Valley live in this grassland. Some dexterous aborigines even weave some straw mats with some withered grass, but there are very few trees in the Dark Insect Valley. There are huge mushroom forests everywhere here, and many giant mushrooms have been lignified. These aborigines found some giant mushrooms close to the world tree, and chopped a bunch of giant mushrooms on these giant mushrooms with their choppers and sharp axes. Door after door.

What Suldak didn't expect was that the inside of these giant mushroom umbrella columns was actually empty, except for a musty smell, after a little cleaning, people could actually live inside.

Suldak immediately began to count the number of injured people in this battle with the commanders of various lord armies. Thousands of people died, and the Lord's Army also suffered heavy casualties. The number of soldiers of the Lord's Army killed by the Queen Ant alone exceeded a thousand.

Fortunately, the aborigines of the tribe left some druid elders, and they treated many wounded soldiers in the battle.

Now the commanders of the lord army follow the Constructed Knights into the valley, and there are large groups of ghost-striped soldier ants on standby everywhere. If it weren't for Suldak and World Tree to jointly capture the ghost-striped queen, would the lord army have obtained This battle was won in the end, and the ending is really unknown...

The reason is that the number of red ants here is much larger than the commander of the lord army expected.

Although it looks like spring inside the Dark Worm Valley, it is still a severe winter season outside the valley. The first thing Suldak needs to arrange this time is to order a large number of iron chains from the military merchant group.

When building the iron chain bridge between the cave and the stone arch bridge, Suldak asked the military merchant group to prepare a lot of chains, and the iron chains used in the cave and the stone arch bridge were not too many, and the military merchant group still had some in stock. , but these chains alone are not enough to lock the ghost ant queen with a body size of 400 meters, and the chains in the military commercial aviation inventory are far from enough, so the merchants can only send the news back to Bena City and continue to customize a large number of iron chains.

After the ghost-striped queen reunited, according to Suldak's vision, at least hundreds of shackles were needed to imprison the ghost-striped queen in the center of the ant nest.

The second thing for Suldak is to treat the wounded soldiers of the Lord Army on a large scale. Taking this opportunity, the Lord Army should also take a large-scale rest, and take this opportunity to let the soldiers of the Lord Army rely on their personal achievements. Exchange prizes on the merit list and magic spar, gold coins and more.

This is a large-scale battle reward event, and it is also a rare opportunity to make money for the military merchant group, because in order to fulfill his promise, Suldak almost put all the good things brought by the military merchant group on display. , Whichever one the Lord Army soldiers choose can be exchanged with merit points, and then the Lord Army Logistics Department will negotiate with the merchants to pay the bill.

So this time the reward materials are extremely rich, even if these prizes are not needed, they can be exchanged for magic crystals or gold coins...

Chapter 1325 Booty

Outside the camp, three hundred constructed knights served as executioners in the Dark Worm Valley for ten consecutive days, beheading the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants in the Ant Queen's Guards on the execution ground. The beheading in the execution ground of resistance is also a test for these constructed knights, that is, standing in front of those who have no resistance, even if they are alien monsters, will they become soft-hearted as executioners.

In fact, due to the repeated battles between the Lord Army and the ghost pattern red ants since this winter, the grievances between the two sides have already accumulated to the peak in their hearts.

However, after such a killing, there were still some constructed knights who couldn't hold on, and were directly defeated from the execution ground.

There are too many kills, and this place is like a slaughterhouse. After killing, the lord of Suldak will personally appraise it, and then separate them to peel the skin and cut the meat to dig out the magic core in the body. After this operation, the ghost pattern Soldier ants quickly turn into leather and fresh meat.

Many giant ghost pattern soldier ants are the focus of Suldak's attention. He needs to find more life magic patterns from these giant soldier ants.

As for the more difficult-to-kill ghost-striped male ants, the two-headed ogre Gullitum personally slaughtered them. For this, the ogre does not have the psychological burden of constructing a knight.

The two-headed ogre will pick two from the ant queen's bodyguard every day, and then kill the two ghost-striped male ants neatly. The only trouble is that there are a lot of fresh ingredients that need to be stripped from the male ants. Come out and put it into a magic-sealing box with a fresh-keeping function. In addition, the hard armor of the ghost-striped male ants is not so popular. The only thing worth looking forward to is the life magic pattern on the male ants.

These are the biggest gains for Suldak in private.

A steady stream of monster materials were sent to the merchant group accompanying the army, offsetting the spoils paid by the merchant group in advance for the logistics department of the lord army.

In recent days, the camp outside the Dark Insect Valley has become very lively with the military business group. Although it is the cold winter season, it looks like a world of ice and snow, but the tents built by the camp are warm and cozy. Gold coin fighters will come here to drink two glasses of wine.

Sometimes it is clear that the dishes in the canteen of the barracks are large and delicious, but some soldiers of the lord army want to go outside to have a meal. After drinking and eating, some people will choose to get into the tent behind the tavern. This is the renovation. period of camp life.

After winning a war, the victor can always enjoy some beauty and happiness.

And the Grimm Empire is obviously a country built on these wars. The various resources of the empire on the Roland continent are on the verge of exhaustion. Only by continuously occupying other planes can they obtain enough resources. However, in recent years, plane wars have broken out frequently. Not only the war with the aborigines of the plane, the main enemy the imperial army faces is the dark army from the forces of hell, and secondly, the demons in the hell world also want to open up the connection channel and occupy the small plane to fight against each other. Invaded the Roland Continent little by little, as well as the undead army of the underworld and some other hostile forces.

At present, due to the numerous planes occupied by the Grimm Empire, there are constant wars in various places. Many plane lords have to lead their troops to fight fires everywhere.

At least on the Bailin plane, it has been a long time since they felt the joy of victory.

The victory of the Dark Worm Valley War will spread to Wilkes City as quickly as possible, and I don't know what the lords of the White Forest Plane will say, but recently, the northern rocs have frequently crossed the Thorn Mountains , Entering the prairie in the northern occupied area to hunt the cattle and sheep there, this matter has caused great dissatisfaction among the lords of the Bailin plane.

However, Suldak did not have the energy to continue northward for the time being.

After the affairs of the Dark Insect Valley are over, the Lord Army will return to the Three Rivers Plain before the arrival of spring. Suldak plans to include the entire Three Rivers Plain into the territory of the Alliance Lord Army before summer.

As for the three things Suldak promised when forming an alliance with the World Tree, punishing the ghost-striped red ants, reducing the giant mushroom forest, and attacking the Pengniao clan in the north, at least Suldak has completed one of them now. Next, we will rely on the ghost-striped red ants to reduce the number of giant mushroom forests in the insect valley.

Suldak is not ready to go to war against Pengniao for the time being.

The cave in the east of the dark worm valley is the only channel for the worm valley to connect to the outside world. The barracks tent of the lord army is built here.

Since there is a lord army guarding here, only the four-wheeled trucks of the merchant group can enter the worm valley to load various supplies. The members of the adventure group are temporarily prohibited from entering the dark worm valley, and the heavy armored infantry regiment including the lord army is also prohibited from entering the worm valley. Enter Worm Valley for any reason.

The only people who can enter the Worm Valley are the aboriginal tribes. It is said that the 30 southern tribe aborigines temporarily living in the copper mine camp will migrate collectively to the dark worm valley.

There are two maps hanging in the tent of the military camp, one of which is the Dark Insect Valley, and the other is the area map of the Three Rivers Plain. Draw a big circle, the whole circle occupies almost 90.00% of the entire map area.

Before Suldak could speak, the commanders of the lord army looked at each other, because they knew in their hearts that Lord Suldak wanted to include the entire Dark Worm Valley into his territory, but the commanders present They have no reason to argue at all, and these commanders also know in their hearts that the Dark Worm Valley can win the decisive battle so quickly, which is inseparable from the aboriginal tribes in the south. The natives of the southern tribes came to some sort of agreement.

Some clues can be seen from the current policy implemented by Suldak... Only the natives of the southern tribes are allowed to enter the Dark Worm Valley.

Lord Suldak was probably planning to give up this land to the natives of the southern tribes, so when he drew a large circle on the map with a charcoal pencil, all the commanders of the Lord Army remained silent.

Suldak said to the commanders in the barracks tent:

"All of this place must be assigned to me. In addition, I need to ensure the integrity of this land. Two-thirds of the surrounding land will be handed over to the Grimm Empire and Bena Province, including the large poisonous fog swamp and the ring road here. lakes, so your lords will not get any land here."

"However, I will make some compensation for this. I will give away half of the assets of the Sanhe Plain Dam, including half of the lakes in the three canyons upstream. Once the dam is built there, the upstream will become an extremely vast lake in the future. I only need Half of the area is the lake, and the other half is equally divided among the seventeen lords represented by the commanders present. In the end, I will give up the current territorial allocation of the Three Rivers Plain that we occupy, but I still have the Red Ridge Giant Turtle to occupy the mountains, lakes, and rivers. right."

"This statement will be valid within one month. I know that some of the commanders may not have the right to decide this matter, so I will give you one month to discuss with the lords. If you have any objections, You can come to the Bailin plane, and we can discuss it face to face."

The commanders sat around without saying a word. No one knew better than them how big the land of the Three Rivers Plain was, and they also knew that even if the noble lord behind the lord army they commanded came here personally, it was impossible to get here from the Soviet Union. Erdak picked out a tiny bit of land in the Dark Worm Valley.

The first to stand up was Viscount Clay Owen, the commander of the Lord of Constantinople. He was considered the most outstanding legion commander of the younger generation of the Owen family. His straight aristocratic dress made him look very handsome. At that time, he was the first to say to Suldak: "Our Owen family agrees to this distribution plan..."

As soon as this remark came out, the other commanders in the barracks felt the pressure immediately, and then thought that even if the distribution plan of Lord Suldak was sent back, it might not change anything, so they stood up and accepted Su The allocation scheme proposed by Erdak.

Some commanders who couldn't figure it out for a while were also forced to agree with everyone, and then stood up to express their agreement with Suldak's distribution plan.

Even Suldak never thought that the land distribution plan of the Lord Army could be decided so quickly...
