Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

The goddess of misfortune said goodbye to Lear and left. She would communicate with him again after discussing with those "old things".

There are too many things involved this time, and it is difficult for her to completely take down the person behind the scenes by herself.

When the other party left, there was a murderous look on his face and he was very angry. It was obvious that the manipulation of the mastermind behind the scenes had completely angered the goddess who controls misfortune.

After the other party left, Lear was no longer in the mood to rest.

Just at this time, the original plane reported that the last two temples in the Longthorn Mountains had been occupied.

He was immediately interested.

The thought entered Catanaro.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Ishani who was waiting there.

The night elf sensed the approaching aura that made her heart tremble, and immediately saluted to report.

"Good day, Your Majesty."

"We have successfully captured the last two temples."

"Such a fast progress? How did you solve it?"

Those two temples are very tricky.

The one that refuses to contact the outside world is easier to deal with, as a swamp banshee has already infiltrated it.

Another village with activated defense mechanisms and already a guardian angel is not going to be easy.

It is difficult to defeat those ultimate troops by brute force.

Ishani said with some lightness.

"Your Majesty, we still rely on the swamp banshee. The swamp banshee uses her singing to continuously lead the villagers out of the village without affecting the guardian angel."

"Then, through various means, he was made a believer of the Swamp Cult."

"In just two days, all the remaining humans in that village left."

"Without the support of the villagers and no outsiders attacking, the guardian angels lacked energy to maintain themselves. After three days, they turned into light and disappeared."

"Now, that village is deserted."

Lear finally understood.

Previous intelligence had also hinted that as long as the original believers were eliminated, the temple would return to peace.

Now the feasibility of this operation has been verified.

"What about the village that refuses contact with the outside world?"

"The villagers were having a hard time. After the Swamp Banshee entered, she quickly gained their trust and solved their problems with food."

Finding the key hubs, some problems are not as difficult as you think.

"Is there anything unusual about the temple that summoned the guardian angel?"

"That's not the case. It could also be that I am not very capable and cannot detect the difference."

Lear nodded, and immediately prepared to go there in person to take a closer look, and also take the two temples into his arms.

We can't let others take advantage of this thing.

Summon the swamp giant-horned deer king, ride him and ride away.

This level 15 stag hero is strong and powerful.

Their combat power in the original plane is absolutely top-notch, and they are not restricted by the temple like the wetland angels.

The deer's hooves ran in the air and turned into a stream of light.

The last two temples are located 150 km from Catanaro.

But in less than half an hour, he arrived.

First, he consumed 10 faith powers to control the first temple, and then came to the last temple to activate the defense mechanism. As long as he controlled this temple, the 20 temples in the Longthorn Mountains would be completely controlled.

If you want to get more, you can only expand outward.

He turned over, stood in front of the open door of the temple, and looked inside intently.

All I saw was the blurry statue in the temple, which was now emitting a faint milky white light.

Although it is carved from rock, it gives people a feeling of warm jade.

A faint sense of majesty surged over, no longer as calm as before.

Just as Lear was looking around, the intelligence system suddenly refreshed -

[You have captured a temple with an activated defense mechanism and a guardian angel, and obtained an additional piece of information - occupying a temple that has recruited angels or is activated and controlled by other gods can consume 10 times the power of faith to perceive the authority left in the temple.]

[And in the process, there is a chance to control some of the authority left by the other party. ]

He looked at the suddenly updated information and his heart trembled.

He suddenly looked up at the crude statue in the temple, and his eyes became extremely hot.

Wow, I didn't expect that after activating the defense mechanism, there would be such a feature? !

The predecessor of this Immortal Temple was dedicated to the God of Creation!!

In other words, does he have a chance to control the authority of the God of Creation?
Hiss~
Lear felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.

This is fucking going against the will of heaven!

The mood is high.

Take a deep breath and stride into the temple.

Looking at the tall and majestic statue, he stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it on the statue.

The next moment, endless power of faith surged out like water from a floodgate, pouring into the statue.

The tremendous force directly reverses everything.

A light green moss appeared on the walls surrounding the temple, and then quickly spread across the entire building like ink.

The statue was gradually covered with moss, and the sacred aura quietly transformed into a swamp smell.

Just after he took control of the temple.

Suddenly, a strange light burst out from the eyes of the statue, like a ray, penetrating the void and entering Lear's soul.

Lear's heart trembled, and he immediately concentrated his attention.

At this moment, a majestic, sacred, and heavy power surged in my mind.

It looks old and simple, as if it has existed since the beginning of the world.

The swamp godhead entrenched in the vortex of magic was touched by that power at this moment.

Suddenly, a brilliant blue light burst out.

Directly covered that energy.

Swallow it slowly.

The next second, Lear suddenly felt a change in front of his eyes.

Mountains, rivers and streams are no longer mountains and rivers, but have become chains of rules.

The rules of heaven and earth and the truth of the world are flowing before your eyes.

Chains of rules weave together the entire world.

Earth, sky, rivers, mountains, forests
The original plane is the first plane created by the God of Creation. Originally, that great being intended to make it the main plane.

But ultimately, due to lack of experience, the rules of this plane were not perfect and fell far short of expectations.

The original plane was therefore abandoned by the God of Creation, but this was just right for Lear.

The perfect rules of the main plane are like a sophisticated instrument. Even if he can observe the operation of the rules, he cannot understand the reasons.

These rough rules of the original plane are more suitable for newcomers like him to learn.

There are too many rules and powers, and he cannot see them all. He can only feel what he is most familiar with: swamps, wetlands, gestation, life, decay, and death.
Authorities emerged quietly.

The whole person sank completely into it.

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a century or like the blink of an eye, the energy suddenly shattered and dissipated like a bubble.

Everything before my eyes returned to calm quietly.

Lear stood there, feeling lost.

In this short moment, he had a clearer understanding of the operation of the rules.

The same is true for his own power and the authority of the outside world. Although his level or attributes have not been improved, he can feel that his control over the authority in his hands has improved by more than one level!
comfortable.
After coming to his senses, he looked at the statue that was covered with moss, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"The benefits are too great, even greater than directly occupying the temple. If the news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge stir."

Finally, I made a direct judgment.

"The war is coming!"

As long as you can capture a temple controlled by someone else, you have a chance to comprehend its power. Isn't this encouraging fighting?
Who can resist such temptation?

On the other hand, the gods who have now occupied the temple will never allow outsiders to spy on their power!
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Although the current situation is relatively calm, perhaps a god has discovered the secret and has not yet made it public, or perhaps no one has yet managed to capture the temple and activate its defenses.

But no matter what, the truth will come out sooner or later. Just because it hasn't come out now doesn't mean it won't come out in the future.

By then, the situation will become even more intense.

There will definitely be gods who are overwhelmed by greed and will directly start a war.

Those gods who have lived for hundreds or even tens of millions of years wield power so terrifying that it makes people weak in the knees.

If they really make up their minds, the entire original plane will be plunged into all-out war.

Fortunately, the rules restrict the entry of troops above level 15, otherwise the battlefield of the war of gods might have to be placed here. The scene is enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

As he thought, his eyes became deep.

He looked up into the void and activated the Goddess of Doom in his body again.

However, in a moment, the black and red energy directly broke through the void and condensed into a faint shadow in front.

After the Goddess of Misfortune appeared, she subconsciously glanced at the temple.

"Sir Lear, what happened?"

He summoned her just after they separated, something big must have happened.

Li Er was not vague and told the other party this important information, and finally said.

"If the news spreads, it will surely drive the gods crazy!"

The goddess of misfortune did not expect that in the blink of an eye, Lear would obtain such important information.

I immediately thought of the many gods who had entered the original plane.
The authority of some gods is extremely compatible with her, but she didn't have the opportunity before. If she could control those authorities, her power would definitely increase significantly.

Thinking of this, she realized the importance of this information.

If she thinks this way, how can other gods be immune? !

"Don't disclose this information."

The Goddess of Misfortune said seriously.

"In addition, we can set up a new plan based on this news."

"If the person manipulating the secrets knew this news, he would definitely be very upset!"

Lear nodded slightly.

"Of course. Your Highness, do you need to send some troops to guard your temple?"

The goddess of misfortune nodded.

"That's right. I will immediately train some low-level troops to come here."

The corners of Lear's mouth twitched when he heard this. Are you polite?

What does it mean to train some low-level troops to garrison?
But this person does have the qualifications to say this.

After a short while of communicating, the Goddess of Doom left in a hurry, this time more urgently than before.

Before, it was purely for revenge against those who secretly manipulated the situation. Now, direct interests are involved.

No god would miss such an opportunity.

Seeing this, Lear also felt the oppressive feeling before the storm.

He immediately returned to Catanaro and asked Ishani to impose a high level of martial law to prevent any danger.

Then he returned to the City of Witness, called Bain, and asked him to coordinate and speed up the production of various departments. The core was only one thing: prepare for war!

Once something happens, the situation will definitely deteriorate immediately, and that will be the time to test the territory's foundation and military strength.

Everyone wants to gain the power of others, but no one wants others to spy on their power.

This contradiction is irreconcilable.

Bain sensed the seriousness of Lear's attitude and immediately went down to make arrangements.

All departments are speeding up again.
Because of his missionary work during this period, Lear accepted more than 20,000 new believers.

The population of Weilu City has exceeded 6, and there is no shortage of manpower.

Large amounts of resources began to be invested in military departments such as blacksmith shops, alchemy workshops, and arrow production factories.

The already impressive output has been accelerated again.
On June 6, the upgrade of the Rock Heavy Armor was officially put on the agenda at the blacksmith shop.

On the 22nd, the first batch of 1000 sets of Rock Heavy Armor were successfully upgraded from 4 stars to 5 stars.

Attributes greatly improved.

This heavy armor, which was exclusively for the cold-blooded cavalry, finally reached its peak.

If it continues to be upgraded, it will become a semi-artifact, which is impossible for mass production and use to arm the army.

The raw materials and forging techniques required for semi-artifacts are more than ten times higher than those for 5-star equipment.

That is equipment with weak power of rules and cannot be forged in batches.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the army is, 5-star equipment is the maximum.

Even in the army of gods, only a small number of leaders possess semi-artifacts, and most of them wear 4-star and 5-star equipment.

The fact that the City of Wei Lu is now able to mass-produce 5-star equipment is already a miracle created by the joint efforts of many parties.

There are now 20,000 blacksmith shop workers in Weilu City alone.

In addition, some of the more elementary processes were handed over to the ancient humans in Catanaro, with 6 people directly involved.
All in all, there are now 8 people involved in the production of weapons, a chain that is quite exaggerated.

Including the alchemy workshop and the arrow production factory, the total number of employees exceeds 10.
Other residents are engaged in territory construction, agriculture and other work.

Combine farming and warfare.

On June 6, another good news came.

The blacksmith shop extracted blood essence from the blood of the dragon blood red fish that can enhance the power of equipment.

Used to engrave inscriptions on weapons, which can slightly improve their attributes.

Even a slight improvement in the 5-star Stone Heavy Armor would be of inestimable value to the overall situation.

However, it takes thousands of 2-star dragon blood red fish to extract 1 unit of blood essence.

It takes at least 20 units to upgrade a set of armor.

Now 10 dragon blood red fish can be produced every month, which undoubtedly makes this discovery somewhat useless.

With so much equipment on hand, I can only upgrade a few pieces every month, which is of no use at all.

There is not so much time now to give him a little bit of accumulation.

The best way is to upgrade the Dragon Blood Red Fish to a 3-star magical creature as quickly as possible. By then, the magic power contained will be increased, which will definitely greatly reduce the amount of rune engraving required.

Lear looked at the dragon in that dimension again and prepared to slay it.

On June 6, another good news came from the blacksmith shop.

The idea of ​​forging weapons for the Ancient Tree Guardians has been successfully implemented.

The first ancient tree guardian used for the experiment had its important branches and roots covered with metal.

From a distance, it looks like a giant metal tree, with key parts covered with thick armor.

Moreover, the armor is directly embedded into the tree trunk, providing exaggerated defensive capabilities.

The roots and trunks used for attack are covered with sharp three-edged blades.

Once an attack is launched, these three-edged blades will become the enemy's nightmare.

Although they are ranged units, these treemen are extremely ferocious in close combat and their equipment will never be wasted.

The ancient tree warriors who are responsible for close combat will have priority in enjoying the distribution of this equipment. (End of this chapter)
