Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 122 Blood Spy

"No matter when you are in need, my lord, as long as you give an order, they will do their best to help."

Li Yong glanced at Antonio, opened the door, and said, "It's not suitable to discuss business here, come in."

"Listen to your orders."

After changing the location, they came to the meeting hall in the Red Maple Castle.

Antonio put on a gesture and lowered his voice, as if he was plotting something big: "Actually, they have already started operations on the forest land according to your plan. I asked ordinary people to supervise them. I think there will be no problem. Even if there is a monster that wants to attack, it can be dealt with immediately."

The "work" mentioned by Antonio was the first thing Li Yong ordered the villagers to do in response to the redwood town—cutting down the woods and grass in the forest area to prepare for the expansion of the living area of ​​the residents.

Expansion of the human living area is of course a rhetoric on the surface to make the villagers better accept it.

The actual purpose is naturally to test the reaction of the monsters while reducing the vegetation that can be used as a natural shelter for the monsters.

Compared with human beings, the monsters living in the woods are naturally able to hide their breath. Even if Li Yong crushed these monsters with absolute strength, he would have nothing to do with them if they wanted to escape from the range of the barony.

What's more, as far as the current situation is concerned, unless it is the final finishing occasion, he does not intend to take action himself.

He gave orders to the villagers to expand the human territory, but to the members of the executor team, he gave orders to protect the villagers from wild beast attacks, and to capture them alive if any monsters escaped or appeared.

Li Yong sat in the main seat of the conference hall, leaning back against the armchair, and stood with his hands on the table. His eyes swept over everyone, and he said, "Look at your empty hands, everything is going well? The monsters in the forest don't have any reaction?"

"Yes." Antonio nodded, seeing Li Yong's expression of disappointment, the corner of his mouth twitched, and added: "...very regrettable."

The original territory of the monster beasts is now under their control, and there is a magic seal trap of the demon hunter as a "fence", trapping the captured monsters in it, and it is difficult to escape.

Of course, Li Yong's idea was to capture the monsters and raise them in captivity. It would be even better if the relatives of the monsters left the forest in large numbers because of this.Without the natural barrier of the jungle, he can catch every one of them like he did when he targeted the herd of magic cows.

However, it makes sense to think about it carefully.

It's only been a few days, and it's hard to say how many of the Warcraft have noticed human movements.

The woodland area is vast, and the jungle landform is complex, and it is not like the wilderness that is firmly controlled by the big black bull. More than half of the lives in it are magical cows.

In the woodland, the proportion of ordinary beasts is far higher than that of monsters. The ratio of monsters to beasts is more than 1:100. It is not so easy to meet in the outermost area.

Li Yong asked again: "How long can your trap last?"

"If you don't replenish the energy, three days is the limit, and you have to maintain the trap on the wasteland, it is actually impossible to fill it up... To be conservative, you have to go to replenish it in two days at most. However, I considered this situation in advance, The pre-reserved magic energy crystals have been put into it, and it can last up to a week before the next charge."

When he got the answer, Li Yong nodded slightly: "You have done a good job, remember this account first, and I will naturally repay it to you later."

"No, no, my lord, these are all things I should do, so there is no need to pay them back!"

"Well, you've already said that. It just so happens that I'm struggling recently, so that's it. Thank you very much."

Li Yong will not be polite to the people of the referee.

"Ah, this..." Antonio's face froze, and then he hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "It's my honor, Antonio, to be able to make a difference for your lord!"

Just reduce the scope of the woodland, and the monsters will naturally retreat to the red forest if they are defeated.Even if invading the territory of other monsters will inevitably lead to battles, for monsters, this ending is obviously more acceptable than being tamed or killed by humans.

Li Yong and the others naturally wanted to seal off the escape route in advance.

The area of ​​the woodland is much larger than that of the wilderness. In addition, the movement in the forest is not as convenient as the wilderness, and it must be considered not to be discovered by the monsters in advance. The difficulty of setting up traps is naturally much higher.

Dom Village and Sequoia Town are all around Maple Leaf Town, and it took at most one day to inform the villagers to go back and forth, and most of the three days were spent setting traps.

In fact, Antonio and the others just used traps to block the most likely path for the Warcraft to escape to the interior of the Red Forest.

"The first time you set out, you may have been slightly noticed by the monsters. You can't expect that you will not be noticed the next time you go to replenish energy."

Li Yong immediately made a decision: "I will let Lu Nuo issue a notice, and you will also call on the manpower in Maple Leaf Town. You have to take the initiative to participate in it. Five days later, at noon is the time to do it. Before that, you must The area of ​​that forest must be reduced by at least a third!"

"……hiss."

"Why? Can't it be done?" Li Yong said quietly: "Half of your team are Tier 2 demon hunters. In terms of labor efficiency alone, one person is worth at least a hundred people, plus the young and middle-aged people in Maple Leaf Town and Redwood Town. Thousands of laborers are just for this one thing, don't tell me it can't be done?"

Facing Li Yong's threatening gaze, Antonio's throat rolled, and he couldn't say any "sophistry" such as "but we still shoulder the task of protecting ordinary people".

He said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, Mr. Li Yong, you can put all your heart on me!"

Li Yong suddenly showed a gentle smile, and said with an approving expression: "Antonio, you have worked hard. The past three days of running around have proved your worth. I can rest assured that you do things."

——You are really relieved, but the construction period will be a little longer!

Antonio slandered in his heart, continued to flatter Li Yong on the surface, and turned the heads of several young people standing behind him from the referee, with expressions of contempt and disdain.

Even if they have decided to obey Li Yong's orders during this period, they will never be able to flatter Li Yong by licking their faces like Antonio.

But in his heart, he was full of doubts about Li Yong's orders.

To start the territory construction, there are only two months left before the Dragon King Sacrifice, no matter how you say it, it shouldn't be done at this time.

They couldn't understand what Li Yong was thinking at all, but because of his terrifying strength, they became more and more afraid.

"I'll wait for your news on this matter, so the next thing-what do the people in Dom Village say? How long will it take to prepare the traps and bait?"

Unlike the strategy for the woodland, the strategy for the mountain can also be equivalent to the strategy for the griffon.

Griffins can fly, advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Compared with taking by force, it is a good strategy to follow the rules of hunting to trap.

Using the griffin's favorite food as bait and setting traps that can control large birds, this is Li Yong's plan for the griffin.

"This...whether it's a trap or a bait, only a small part of the materials can be prepared. Most of them involve extraordinary materials. Even if they are degraded substitutes, they are hard to find around here. I'm afraid we need to send people to the Black Horse City to buy them."

Antonio suddenly showed hesitation, and then he added: "It is worth mentioning that although most people in Dom Village are willing to help. However, after our contact, there are still a few villagers who know that we plan to deal with the other side. When it comes to Griffin, it is obvious that it shows resistance."

Li Yong immediately frowned when he heard the words: "Isn't that wrong?"

Antonio nodded: "We demon hunters have a special perception of hostility and malice, so there should be... nothing wrong."

The name of the Tribunal is enough to scare ordinary civilians. Even on the border of the empire, where there is no ravages by the Tribunal personnel, it is really strange to show such an attitude in the face of the executor of the Tribunal who holds the lord's grant.

Li Yong shook his head: "Let's put the matter of the Griffon aside for the time being. I will ask Lu Nuo to send someone to purchase the materials. Now I will focus on the woodland first. According to the plan, let the people of Dom Village also join the work in the woodland. The main target, the wind wolf and the dryad must not let them escape."

Rudnor and a group of executors immediately responded: "Follow your will."

Li Yongli let go of his crossed hands on the table, and said, "Now, bring that man up."

In addition to the matter of the woodland and mountains, Li Yong also gave Antonio an additional order.

As mentioned earlier, he didn't plan to do it himself before finishing the work, and a large part of the reason lies in this order.

Under the gesture of Antonio's eyes, an executor led out a middle-aged man with iron shackles on his hands and feet from the chamber compartment.

The man was unkempt, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to have no hope for his future.

"The man you mentioned, Nobra. I searched all over Sequoia Town and Dom Village, and there is only one person with the same name."

Nobra, it was Li Yong's name that suddenly appeared on the list of monster leaders after he acquired the ownership of Sequoia Town and Dom Village.

Antonio looked at Li Yong in awe, and said, "We have preliminarily confirmed the identity of this guy's blood, and his identity as a blood spy is undeniable."

The executors didn't know how Li Yong accurately located the blood spy, whether he knew his identity before he took over the territory, or learned about it through an unknown intelligence network after he took over.

But no matter which one it is, it seems that its basis is unfathomable, so they have to be even more in awe.

Antonio gave Nobra a fierce look, and said, "My lord, do you need our help in the interrogation? We know best how to deal with this kind of alien spy!"

"No, I'll do it myself."

Li Yong resolutely refused, then glanced at everyone sideways, and said: "Now, you can go out. Remember to warn, until I leave here, no one is allowed to approach this chamber. Oh... Levi Except, let him come here as soon as possible after finishing his work and wait for my order."

"As ordered."

In the blink of an eye, the executors left in a hurry, leaving only Li Yong and Nobra in the meeting hall.

『Nobra: blood-born male, civilian level 1 (common template)—absolute strength: 2』

Even with the power of a blood clan, his overall strength is still mediocre, barely able to beat two people.

This is also a matter of course. If only a little blood essence from the blood race can be worth more than ten years of hard work and promotion to the extraordinary, then this so-called extraordinary is too cheap.

These human beings who accepted the blood essence and were transformed into blood by the blood clan ceremony were either forced to do so, or fell into the trap of the blood clan's longevity and power.

But no matter what the reason is, becoming a blood race, being controlled by the blood race, is destined to be involuntary.

"No matter what you plan to ask out of my mouth, I, I will not say it!"

Facing Li Yong's gaze, Nobra's face was pale, but his tone was firm.

From the words and deeds of Antonio and others, he already knew that the reason why he was caught was all because of Li Yong in front of him.

There is no need to mention what will happen if the person in the referee confirms his identity as a blood spy. Even if he really tells the information he knows, there will be no way out.

"Nobra, you may have misunderstood something."

Looking at Nobra who was gnashing his teeth, Li Yong said calmly: "You may think that if your identity is discovered by the executors of the referee, you will definitely die. But in fact, at least here, they have no right to decide your life or death. They leave here , allowing me to deal with you is the most important evidence. Even if I insist on saving your life and give them an excuse of 'I have already executed you', they will have to accept it."

When Nobra heard this, his complexion turned blue and purple.

Without waiting for him to speak, Li Yong shook his head again, and said, "However, I don't expect to get anything out of your mouth. You won't say it? Actually, you can't say it, right?"

"you--"

Nobra's eyes widened. Originally, after hearing Li Yong's words, he still wanted to fabricate lies to get away with it, but he didn't want Li Yong to see everything, first gave him a glimmer of hope, and then smashed it himself.

Regarding the method of making blood descendants, Li Yong naturally already knew it from Haruna.

Not all bloodlines have this ability, but they must have the relevant talent. Whether they have this talent is not necessarily related to the bloodline level. Of course, it is common for people with more noble bloodlines to have relevant talents more easily.

The talent is called "Children of Blood".By granting blood essence and performing related rituals, blood descendants can be created, their physique transformed into inferior blood race, and blood gu is planted in the target's heart, which can be sensed and manipulated remotely.

When the caster plants the blood gu, he can set some mechanical programs, even if the caster does not take the initiative to control it, it will be activated automatically when the trigger condition is triggered.

For example, "Without my permission, I shall not disclose my secrets to others", "If the other party is holding a token, he must obey his orders", etc... Once the constraints are violated, the blood descendant will either be eaten by the blood gu and die from his heart, or be killed by the blood gu. To blood riot seething torture as punishment.

And if you want to execute or punish unconditionally, you must be close to give orders to the blood gu.

If the constraint on Nobra is "must obey the orders of the blood clan", Li Yong can even take the initiative to reveal his identity and ask him to reveal the information he needs.

But, before that...

knock knock.

"Come in, and remember to lock the door."

Li Yong looked at Levi who came in a hurry, pointed to Nobra, and said, "In short, torture him first, I heard that you are a veteran who survived the Battle of the Red River, this kind of thing should be difficult stay with you?"

"nature."

Levi has doubts in his heart, but his [-]% absolute loyalty makes him not ask even if he has doubts, as long as Li Yong doesn't take the initiative to mention it.

"Remember, just torture him and give him pain, don't kill him."

Levi grinned: "My lord, you can rest assured that my craftsmanship has more or less been tested in actual combat."

"wait wait wait!"

Nobra's face was pale and bloodless, staring at Li Yong with a flat expression, the fear in his heart almost boiled: "You, don't you already know that I can't say it! Why——"

The absolutely loyal Levi didn't care about Nobra's reaction, and directly carried out Li Yong's order dutifully.

The screams resounded in the closed meeting hall.
