Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

“Spirits of nature, it’s just as you said.”

“In the distance, an army representing death and destruction is wreaking havoc throughout the forest.”

【Usok. Wind Strider】, a level five centaur warrior.

He and the centaur warriors of his tribe were standing in the shadows of the forest, speaking to Li Mengmeng, who was possessing a sparrow on his shoulder.

“Although they dealt with the goblins who once kidnapped the women of our tribe.”

“They are more evil than goblins. More hideous…”

In the distance, two imps were fighting over a goblin's ear.

“They are desecrating everything, destroying everything!”

Further away, several imps were following Wu Wei's orders to set fire to the surrounding trees in order to collect more valuable charcoal resources.

One tree after another was consumed by the fire, falling down and turning into the charcoal resources Wu Wei wanted.

Although doing so seemed a bit wasteful without a kiln (a structure for burning wood to make charcoal), Wu Wei, who had an early lead, didn't care.

He didn't have that much time to meticulously manage these resources.

There were still too many maps to explore, and too many rare resources for him to occupy.

So he could only choose the most violent and efficient way to collect everything around him as much as possible.

And this kind of behavior is very common in the early stages of many lords building their territories.

Whether it's farming or heating, they can all adopt this violent and efficient logging method.

But this kind of behavior is not the same in the eyes of some races and forces.

For example, the centaur race, who are close to nature.

“These enemies of nature are defiling our mother nature whom we serve!”

“We must stop them!”

Hearing Usok. Wind Strider say this, Li Mengmeng immediately jumped up and down excitedly.

“That's right, that's right!”

“It's these damn guys who are destroying the beautiful and harmonious nature.”

“My dear centaur tribe chief, the great Usok. Wind Strider, guardian of nature... I must confess something to you.”

The sparrow possessed by Li Mengmeng hopped to the ear of the centaur chief Usok. Wind Strider and said, word by word.

“These damn ugly monsters are just the vanguard of an evil army.”

“Do you see that gate over there?”

Following Li Mengmeng's wing, Usok. Wind Strider looked at the Abyss Gate standing on the edge of the forest in the distance.

“On the other side of the gate, there are more evil monsters spying on your world, spying on your home!”

“Killing these monsters in front of you is secondary, the real thing you have to do is to destroy that magic gate and destroy their passage to this world!”

【Hmph, I will not only destroy your expansion plan, but also destroy your portal.】

【In this way, all the territory on the Trial Continent that you painstakingly occupied will be in vain!】

【Although I don't know who you are, no matter who you are, in this trial, you are my potential enemy!】

Li Mengmeng was secretly delighted when she heard that Usok. Wind Strider intended to stop Wu Wei's expansion, and thought to herself.

“So that's how it is?”

“As expected of the spirit of nature (the name given to all druids by races such as centaurs), your powerful insight makes me feel sincerely admired.”

Usok. Wind Strider widened his eyes and finally understood the origin of these demons that appeared out of nowhere.

“It doesn't matter, this is what every druid who loves nature will do.”

“Nature is our common mother.”

Li Mengmeng said.

But just as she thought Usok. Wind Strider was about to set off to kill the imps below, Usok. Wind Strider suddenly changed the subject to some...

Uh, strange topics.

“Alas... what a pity.”

“Many of the women in our tribe have just given birth and are terribly weak.”

“And the men in our tribe have to hunt around to take care of them, and patrol our territory at the same time, so they are too tired.”

Hearing this, Li Mengmeng's eyes couldn't help but become a little stiff.

She seemed to have guessed something.

“If it weren't for this, I could have directly led the strong young men of our tribe to kill them today.”

“What a pity, what a pity.”

Sure enough.

These damn half-human, half-animal centaurs are also a bunch of slippery little guys who don't get up early without profit.

Although they hate the demons who destroy nature, this does not mean that they will fight against Wu Wei's forces for nothing.

Regarding this point, it is necessary to mention the wild monster mechanism in 【Lord Era】.

Taking the group of centaur warriors led by Usok. Wind Strider as an example.

Although they all belong to one of the countless neutral wild monsters in the Lord Era, they actually have enough intelligence.

Having intelligence, they will not be like the monsters wandering around in online games, doing nothing all day long, knowing that they will be brushed off by passing heroes or something.

On the contrary, they will have their own lives, their own territories, and their own needs. Even, they will conflict with other neutral wild monsters and nearby lords for their own "interests".

In short, the neutral wild monsters in Lord Era are no longer pure wild monsters.

Compared to wild monsters, they are more like "neutral forces" with their own preferences and needs.

——————————————

“It doesn't matter... Great Usok. Wind Strider, guardian of nature.”

Li Mengmeng took a deep breath and said to this cunning centaur leader.

“I can provide you with enough supplies to solve the survival crisis in your clan.”

“After all, you and your clan are making sacrifices for Mother Nature, and all the spirits of nature, including me, will not stand idly by.”

Li Mengmeng, who wanted to destroy Wu Wei's expansion plan, glanced at the relatively abundant supplies in her territory, and then looked at the thousands of resource points she had accumulated, and finally made up her mind to take action.

“Really?”

Usok. Wind Strider's eyes lit up and he said his request.

“Then, great spirit of nature.”

“In order to better solve these enemies who desecrate Mother Nature, I hope you can provide food for our tribe to live on for a month.”

Li Mengmeng's heart was bleeding.

This was a lot of money, oh no, resource points.

But considering the fatal threat that Wu Wei might pose in the future, Li Mengmeng gritted her teeth and agreed to the other party's request.

“Okay, but how many people are there in your tribe?”

“Seventy-four people!”

Usok. Wind Strider said very honestly.

“Seventy-four? So many people?”

Li Mengmeng was stunned for a moment.

She was a little puzzled. The average centaur tribe has about 60 people.

After all, the territory of a centaur is the limit to support these people.

But why does Usok. Wind Strider's tribe have so many people?

After counting all the centaur warriors present, Li Mengmeng suddenly thought of a question. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Usok. Wind Strider beside her.

“Wait, did you include the newborns in your tribe?”

“That's right!” Usok. Wind Strider smiled brightly, he was very honest.

And for a moment, Li Mengmeng really wanted to slap this half-human, half-animal's face with her sparrow wings.
