Chapter 1080: Decommissioned (Data Available)

"How did you manage to provoke these Weak Water Crickets? I remember these things shouldn't have much of a territorial sense, and they wouldn't chase you to this extent..." Roland looked at the Weak Water Crickets churning in the dragon's breath with a puzzled expression.

“Um… Your Majesty…” Aragorn approached, seemingly hesitant to speak, his eyes darting around as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?" Roland was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Those are all gold coins! Tell your dragon knight to stop his magic..." Aragorn looked at the Weak Water Cricket being shredded into pieces by the dragon's breath, his eyes filled with heartache and the sound of gold coins disappearing.

"Huh?" Roland was taken aback, and the others were also stunned.

"These low-level magical beasts are even worse than low-level ones. Their magical crystal production is almost zero, and very few were destroyed by the wind element. Don't worry!" Thorin looked at his thrifty chieftain with a reassuring smile. Looking at Aragorn, he thought of how he and his people struggled to survive in the Blue Mountains. It wasn't that they lived in extreme hardship, but the feeling of being far from home was incredibly painful for every dwarf. More than physical suffering, the root of the dwarfs' immense suffering was the homelessness of their souls. The descendants of Durin were scattered far and wide...

“No, that’s not how it is…” Thranduil’s lips twitched.

“He probably meant the core magical material of the Weak Water Cricket, the Weak Water Wings!” Thranduil grinned.

“Yes, it’s a high-grade magical material!” Thranduil added.

“Yes, the Wings of Weak Water is a high-grade magical material, and it’s very valuable…” Aragorn smiled awkwardly.

“Well, it’s not actually that high-grade. It’s just that it can perfectly replace many rare high-grade materials, so it’s classified as a high-grade material…” Marquis Al-Tegran Franz explained to Roland.

“You should have said so sooner…” Roland’s lips twitched as he looked at Marquis Al-Tegran Franz.

“Well, individually they’re worthless, but this quantity…” Al-Tegran Franz looked at the swarm of insects being slaughtered by the dragon’s breath.

"These are very valuable for collection. Ten of them are worth one gold dragon coin! Moreover, Duke Yunfeng will need these things. The Weak Water Cricket has a slight corrosive and weakening effect, which can weaken shields and armor. It is often used as a substitute for weakening materials in various weakening potions..." Marquis Al-Tegran Franz explained.

……

"So isn't it a bit late to say all this now?" Caslo scratched his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, after all, he had already killed most of them.

"It's basically ruined. The inner wings and the connecting glandular sacs are all incomplete. The chance of it being intact is too low..." Al-Tegran Franz shook his head with heartache. In his hand, he was holding a Weak Water Cricket with a head as big as a human head, but its lower body had been cut off.

“If you don’t need it, I hope you can allow my people to gather some…” Aragorn said respectfully to Roland, looking at the ravaged battlefield. What was not worth lingering over in the eyes of the Kingdom of Lagrange was a rare harvest for the Dúnedan people.

"Do as you please. Our army will be staying here tonight. Be careful!" Roland nodded, then ordered the lords and kings to disband their ranks. After all that posing, Caslo had easily dealt with them all by himself, so it was all for nothing.

……

"System, check the territory panel!" Roland said silently. He had been out for a long time and needed to check the situation at home.

Main Quest: Establishment of the Twelve Cities of the Swiftstream! (Top-Tier Legion *1), The Road to Imperial Revival (Control ten towns, reward: Mage Tower *1, any Mage Legacy *1!)
Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom, its surroundings have been pacified and stabilized. The resilient people of Lagrange still tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king has reclaimed the old capital! Vast tracts of land have been recovered! The kingdom urgently needs numerous cities to consolidate its territory!
Note: The Kingdom of Lagrange firmly holds sway over the North through its military hegemony, and its noble expansionist territories have successfully penetrated various parts of the North. The shadow of darkness in the North has been suppressed to the extreme under the king's brilliance! The king, brimming with martial virtue, seems eager to accomplish something that will go down in history—for example? Opening up trade routes between East and West?
Roland glanced at it a few times; overall, things hadn't changed much, but there were still some interesting things...
