Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

While Lear was thinking, he saw out of the corner of his eye the Naga King, whose lower half was a snake tail, upper half was a human body, had four arms, and was approaching with a ferocious momentum.

"Good day, Lord. Dodoru salutes you."

Li Er came back to his senses, looked at the guard who was responsible for the safety of the City of Wei Lu, and spoke slowly.

"Is something wrong?"

"Master, the patrol team has found traces of orcs at the edge of the swamp."

"There are as many as a battalion, and there is an obvious command hierarchy. They seem to be the vanguard of a certain force. Perhaps a large number of orcs are approaching the swamp."

"I have sent the Naga to follow and track them."

Lear raised his brows slightly.

Just when I thought of orcs, those guys appeared?

The land occupied by the other party is only a few hundred kilometers away from the swamp, which is not far in the wilderness. The hunting grounds of some small forces may exceed this range.

With such a large army and the need to build a city, they would definitely send spies to explore the surroundings.

It was inevitable that the swamp would come into the other side's sight.

After learning about the appearance of the orcs, the conflict between the City of Wei Lu and the orcs was doomed to be irreconcilable.

This is a fight for living space, and there is no room for compromise.

"Those orc spies are troops sent into the wilderness by the Orc Empire. The number of troops in their rear is more than 50."

"And we have decided to build a city 100 kilometers south of the swamp."

Upon hearing this, the Naga King's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

"Orcs? Building a city with these filthy bastards is courting death!"

There was a hint of anger in his tone.

He used to work under a tyrannical monarch, and as a subordinate of the gods, he could often hear the gods' will.

After being conquered by Lear, he was still directly commanded by the gods.

Who are orcs to dare to spy on the swamp?!
As for the number, does it matter to the great swamp god?
How many outsiders have been buried in the swamp!

Lear smiled; he liked the confidence of his men.

He turned to look at the big devil beside him.

"Take three big demons with you and go to the orc camp to find out the structure of the enemy army, the enemy's command and equipment configuration."

The big demon immediately nodded in agreement, then left with his three companions.

Lir turned his gaze to the wetland lizardman hero.

"Hagus, 300 kilometers southeast of the swamp, a group of wetland lizardmen will migrate through today. I'll have the mechanical dragon take you there and bring them all back."

"Tomorrow, 50 kilometers west of the swamp, a group of Frye people will be hunted down by the underground life toad people. Naga King, you will send the rhino leader to rescue the Frye people tomorrow."

These two items are from the last intelligence update.

These are all simple and easy things to do, but acquiring all of them can directly increase the territory's foundation.

Very good.

They both responded in unison.

Lear continued.

"Dodulu, have you sent people to investigate the crocodile man from a while ago?"

The intelligence was refreshed on December 12th, and the crocodile spies will appear at the edge of the swamp.

When he was about to go to the underworld, he informed the Naga King of this information and asked him to deal with it.

"Lord, the army of Blood Crocodile City has gathered in a mud pit 70 kilometers northwest."

"Their number has reached 5. All of them are soldiers, all level 12 soldiers, and they are very fierce."

"The crocodile man's head is a crocodile shaman. His level is unknown, but he is at least a level 17 life form."

"They sent a lot of spies here these days, but we hunted them all down."

Lear's eyes relaxed a little.

Tens of thousands of people can just quench their thirst.

"Send someone to continue monitoring their every move, and we will eradicate these threats tomorrow."

"As you wish."

If these crocodile people were here two or three months ago, they would have given him a headache.

But as the city of Weilu grew stronger, it was no longer possible for him to cause any disturbance.

After the communication, Hags immediately followed the mechanical dragon and headed southeast to search for the wetland lizardmen.

This level 15 hero doesn't need to lead any army, he can subdue those wetland lizardmen by himself.

The Naga King went down to inform the Rhino leader to go outside the swamp in advance and wait for the Frye people to arrive.

At the same time, carry out more in-depth investigation and surveillance of the crocodile people.

As the guardian of the territory, the Naga King can directly mobilize the troops guarding the territory to carry out tasks.

The Dark Naga and the Rhino are theirs.

If the number of troops is not enough, they can also ask Lear for more troops.

However, in most cases, the Naga King can handle the problem with the help of these two territory guards.

Now that he has many high-level heroes and abundant talents, Lear no longer needs to interfere in such trivial matters and can just let his subordinates do the work.

Let him have no burden.

Take a deep breath and look up at the blue sky with your deep eyes.

But it’s far from time to relax.

The nearby ones are orcs and crocodile people, and the slightly further away is the rat queen who is unwilling to accept the swamp and will lead a large army to attack in the middle of this month.

There will be a bloody battle then.

In addition, the target he has been keeping an eye on - the Stevens blood clan has joined forces with the snake people and is preparing to enter the surface in the middle of next month.

These vampires have their eyes on the lands occupied by the barbarians.

The barbarians are not far from the swamp. If they are allowed to act, they will inevitably come into direct conflict with the swamp in no time.

It's a pity that he failed to find out any information about Stevens' blood clan in Crucible City this time. This vampire clan with extraordinary people in charge seemed to be hidden under the black fog and was full of mystery.

By next month, when the underground world collapses, the situation will change drastically, and the dimensional space will be connected to the main plane.

What will happen then is still uncertain.

The situation is unstable from any perspective.

He took a deep breath and his vision gradually became clear again.

Take it step by step and eliminate the danger that you face first.

Gather up your strength and then face those tough guys.

A day passed quietly, and after the sun sank into the swamp, Hags returned safely with thousands of wetland lizardmen.

After those uneasy wetland lizardmen entered the territory on the vine train, they looked at everything in the City of Witness nervously, with amazement on their faces.

The city woven with vines is exactly the same as the legendary holy city of the swamp tribe.
When they saw the groups of cold-blooded cavalrymen patrolling on swift and ferocious lizards, they all went crazy.

Cold-blooded cavalry, a legendary unit among the Lizardmen.

How could the number in this territory be so exaggerated? !

And each of them was wearing heavy armor and equipped with a sharp sword!

His eyes were red with envy.

The lizardmen's desire to become cold-blooded cavalry is as strong as humans' desire to become griffin riders and orcs' desire to become dragon riders.

This is exactly what I looked like in my dreams.

Before Lear had even branded them, these wetland lizardmen were eager to join the City of Wittish Dew and become part of this territory.

When Lear arrived, he saw the wetland lizardmen with burning eyes and looked somewhat pleased.

Obviously, the current city of Weilu itself has a strong attraction to outsiders.

Good cities are always like this, they make people yearn for them and hope to become a part of them.

He skillfully carved marks on the souls of these wetland lizardmen, and then let Hags arrange for them to be transformed into cold-blooded cavalry.

There are exactly 1200 wetland lizards in this group, not one more and not one less. Together with the 2500 cold-blooded cavalry, the total number of wetland lizards in the territory reaches 3700!

This is definitely an encouraging statistic.

After training them all, forming an array and charging forward would probably make the enemy weak in the knees.

What’s interesting is that there is also a level 10 wetland lizardman hero.

Lear was interested, as this was the first time he recruited a heroic unit in this way.

The other person was a taciturn lizardman. The most striking thing about him was that he had a scar running diagonally across his face.

The strong body is covered with scars of various sizes, which cannot even be covered by the thick helmet scales.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and brutality. If it weren't for Haggs's suppression, he would not have had a good face towards Lear.

This is a fierce and unruly warrior.

Lear also enslaved the other party very easily.

He likes strong warriors.

Then the opponent gave him a surprise. The opponent's heroic talent was very good - Lizard Halo. With itself as the center, all attributes of all lizardmen subordinates within a radius of 300 meters increased by 20%.

Aura skills, even level 15 Hags doesn't have this.

Once the Cold-Blooded Cavalry is promoted to 4-star potential, this 20% bonus will be an exaggerated improvement for them.

And the key point is that the other party picked it up for free.

It's comfortable to get it for free.

Moreover, the opponent is only level 10 now. If he is trained slowly, maybe his talent can be further developed.

But after coming to his senses, Lear felt a headache again.

The biggest problem now is that there is not enough flesh and blood.

The potential for the Cold-Blooded Cavalry to be promoted to 4 stars is a huge amount of blood and flesh, and now we have to first transfer these thousands of people to become Cold-Blooded Cavalry.

Oh my god, how big is this gap?
Crocodile people, right? We’ll beat those little bastards to death tomorrow!

I made up my mind.

But then a piece of news made Lear uneasy.

Late that night, the great demon who was investigating the orcs returned quietly.

"Lord, we have discovered that there is an extraordinary being among the orcs."

"There are more than 15 hero units above level 10."

“高阶兵种——14级兽人狂战士，超过万人；14级兽人萨满，超过5000人；13级兽人飞龙骑士，超过万头；12级兽人狼骑兵——超过5万；11级兽人弓弩手，超过10万。”

"The rest are orc warriors, around level 10."

Lear was a little surprised when he heard the configuration of this orc army.

Is this the power that 3-star intelligence should have?

With the army configuration of superhumans, flying dragons, wolf riders, shamans, and berserkers, he didn't feel any discomfort when saying that they were going to attack the city of Loran.

A little too exaggerated.

Chaofan is an extremely rare top figure in the main plane, but he actually followed him into the wilderness.

The number of high-level troops also far exceeded expectations.

The main plane is not like high-level maps like the underground world. Troops above level 12 are absolutely elite, even aces!

I was originally thinking about whether I should ask Mang to go over and do something big to him, but now this idea was instantly dispelled.

Bullshit! Hundreds of thousands of high-level troops can overwhelm the army of Wei Lu City using human wave tactics.

And the other party has extraordinary abilities!

This can only lead to a swamp ambush.

In the wild, the power he currently controls is not enough to suppress life of this level.

Perhaps after obtaining the fragment of the godhead from Stevens' blood clan, he would have the power to execute extraordinary people outside the swamp.

Before that, let's take it slow.

After calming down, his eyes became deep.

"Go ahead and monitor their movements. If you encounter any accidents, come back immediately and don't get entangled."

"As you wish."

The big demon controls the power of space, and even if they are extraordinary, they can't do anything if they want to leave.

After the other person left, Lear fell into deep thought.

He also didn't expect that the orcs, who didn't take it so seriously, would be so fierce.

Could it be that other forces are also hiding unknown powers?
It is better to be cautious and not show off.

After calming down, I simply washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Lear went straight to call the troops together.

This time it’s the familiar formula - two battalions of Cold-Blooded Cavalry and two battalions of Night Elves.

But the difference is that the orcs' strength reminded him that even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, so he should never take any enemy lightly.

This time he also brought along the Grave Guardians, the Bee Swarm, and even the Flesh Slayers.

The mechanical dragon, the two-headed ogre chieftain, and the shadow of the mist all followed the army as well.

This configuration is top-notch. For 5 crocodile men, whether it is enough to eat is a matter of debate.

After the army is ready, leave the swamp directly.

In groups and in large numbers.

During this march, Lear concealed everyone's presence and kept a low profile.

The shadow of the fog formed a thin mist that covered the surroundings.

If you look from a distance, you can't see the movement of the army, but if you get close, your tracks will be discovered.

The mist released by the Mist Shadow can now extend over a range of 5 kilometers.

However, if it is stretched to the limit, the bonus to the army and the restriction on the enemy will be greatly weakened.

2 kilometers is the normal range it covers.

With cover, there is nothing to worry about when marching.

The army moved forward at a high speed across the wilderness like a storm.

In just over an hour, they arrived at the crocodile man's location.

The army stopped and Lear looked ahead through the fog.

A kilometer away is a low-lying area.

Large areas of mud mixed with turbid water formed a wide mud pond.

A large number of crocodile people who walk upright can be seen rolling in the mud.

Looking around, the dense numbers are heart-pounding.

Crocodile Man, Level: Level 12, Potential: 3 Stars.
Level 12 fighters are not weaklings.

Lear immediately saw the central area, where there was a crocodile man who was over 4 meters tall and as strong as a bull.

He was holding a bone scepter in his hand.

Obviously it was Saman, the crocodile man whose level was unknown mentioned by the Naga King.

Looking carefully, the other party's attributes emerged in my mind.

Crocodile leader, hero unit, level: 19
Lear narrowed his eyes.

It's level 19 again. Why is it that after he has leveled up, the enemies he encounters are either level 18 or 19, or extraordinary or demigod?
Aren't there a few newbies for him to bully?

Take a deep breath and wave your hands suddenly.

"Graveyard Guards attack first!"

"Night Hunter Free Sniper."

"The cold-blooded cavalry will block the way in front of the mud and attack immediately after the enemy enters the fog."

"Flesh Slaughterer, Archdemon, Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain, work together to hunt down the Level 19 Crocodile Leader."

"The mechanical dragons are free to kill. The swarms await my orders."

"Do it!"

The moment the order was given, the army immediately erupted.

Taking advantage of the cover of fog, they quickly approached the quagmire. When they were within two or three hundred meters, the intangible grave guard flew straight out.

These dark blue, translucent undead creatures tightly grasped their sickles and rushed into the mud like lightning.

Those crocodile people never expected that there would be a surprise attack, and they were hit by the sickle without paying attention.

Click~
The sickle that reaps souls doesn't care about defense.

In an instant, a large number of crocodile men fell down with their eyes rolled back, and fell into the mud.

Large amounts of mud and water were splashed.

There were no scars on his body, but his soul had been crushed.

At the same time, two thousand night elves released the bowstrings in their hands that were stretched to the extreme.

Staring blankly~
Sharp thorn arrows tore through the sky.

With a shrill whistle, he fell into the crocodile people.

puff~
One crocodile man had his eye socket pierced directly, and an arrow passed through his head, leaving most of his head exposed. The bloodstained arrow was still swinging.
At the same time, Hags in front took out the horn of destruction obtained from the underworld and blew it loudly.

Woohoo~
The deep sound of the horn made all the troops feel an extra surge of strength.

Morale boosted.

The crocodile man was stunned by the series of attacks, and after he came to his senses, he immediately fell into madness.

One by one, they climbed out of the mud with a roar and rushed towards the foggy shore.

I originally thought it was fog, but I didn't expect that the fog was actually created by the enemy!!
At the same time, blood and energy burned in his body to deal with the intangible grave guards in the sky.

The crocodile leader was shocked and angry, and immediately ordered his troops to counterattack.

At this moment, I suddenly saw the space around me collapse, and demons rushed out one after another.

The war suddenly broke out. (End of this chapter)
