Warhammer in a box

Chapter 261 Lizard Man

With the addition of these Catachans, the exploration of the forest was incredibly fast.

The people of Terra were excited about the rapid progress of the exploration, while the human mercenaries who were already on this continent were completely overwhelmed by these suddenly appearing warriors.

The jungle terrain and dangerous creatures that required them to be careful and could kill them if they were not careful seemed to be non-existent in front of these Catachan warriors who did not even wear armor.

"How did these people develop their forest survival and combat skills?" Glenn looked at the body of a Tyrannosaurus lying on the ground. He saw with his own eyes that this monster, which might have required dozens of casualties to kill in the past, was killed in a short time under the siege of five Catachans, and these Catachan warriors did not suffer any casualties.

The forest seemed to have become their playground, and even creatures with camouflage skills could not escape their eyes.

Before these creatures launch an attack, they are able to detect them in advance and give warnings or kill them every time.

But fighting power is not the key to completely conquering these mercenaries.

The Catachans took the lead in exploring a large number of unexplored locations, and even discovered a Lizardman city that had been reduced to ruins.

The Lizardmen have no interest in gold treasures, but the middle-level leaders among the Lizardmen, the Skin Lizards, will make these gold gems into some handicrafts, and each of these handicrafts brought to the Old World will be exchanged for a large amount of wealth.

"We're rich!" The ruined city was filled with the cheers of mercenaries. Now it was estimated that no one would object to acting with Terra.

Bourne was very happy to see the situation developing in this direction. The Catachans now became the main force of the exploration operation. In this kind of terrain, the combat effectiveness of conventional armies would be weakened by at least 5%. Only special forces like the Catachans could adapt to this place.

The large number of mercenaries who came along filled the labor problem.

After all, building a camp requires materials, and weapons require ammunition. Large vehicles cannot move in such terrain, so in the end, we have to return to simple manpower.

Everyone was happy except Glenn.

At this time, he was also in the ruins of the Lizardman City. No one knew that he had been here before.
At that time, Glenn was setting foot on the continent of Lustria for the first time, full of dreams of getting rich.

But the first time he went deep into the forest, he realized the horror of this continent.

Their team of one hundred men suffered heavy losses soon after entering the forest. Wild beasts and even lizardmen breathing blowgun darts were slaughtering them.

As the only person in the team who had served as an officer, he took over the command and directed all the survivors to block the attack from the Lizardmen.

However, the gap in numbers and combat effectiveness was still too great. After the crossbows and spear formations caused certain casualties to the approaching lizardmen and spirit lizards, he knew that if he continued like this, he would only die.

He decided to break out with everyone and succeeded. As fate would have it, they ran into the ruins of the Lizardman city where Glenn was at the moment.

What caught the eye were all kinds of gold treasures and handicrafts thrown casually on the ground here.

However, they still couldn't escape the pursuit of the lizardmen after they fled here. However, after they were surrounded, the lizardmen did not choose to kill them. A toad sitting on a floating throne came in front of him.

Glenn saw this magic toad, the real leader of the Lizardmen and the spokesperson of the Ancient Saints. Shi Lan uttered some syllables from his mouth that he could not understand at all.

He was sure that this was a language he couldn't understand at all, but the content of the language naturally appeared in his mind.

Shi Lan told him that he could make a deal with him. He said that he could take the treasure with him, but the human gathering point could only be fixed on the coast. They were not allowed to go deep into the deepest part of the rainforest and help the Lizardmen fight when necessary. After all, the Lizardmen had many enemies on this continent.

Demons, vampires, ratmen, Norse raiders, dark elves, and lizardmen are also difficult to deal with.

On the other hand, the Lizardmen also need the help of these humans who come to Lustria to understand how the new races in the outside world have developed. Humans are only interested in treasures, which makes the Lizardmen less hostile to humans.

Unlike vampire pirates or dark elves, these races that are good at magic are very interested in the lizardmen's sacred objects, the Ancient Saints' Stone Tablets left behind by the ancient saints. The horrific magic remaining on them has a fatal attraction to any race that is good at magic.

The Lizardmen have also fought many battles with those forces that stole or robbed the ancient holy stone tablets.

Glenn agreed immediately at that time. After all, if he didn't agree, he would die. And Shi Lan also kept his promise and let him bring back a lot of treasure.

After returning with a great success this time, Glenn's reputation in the human gathering place continued to rise.

In the following years of trading with the Lizardmen, Glenn restricted the latecomers from going deep into the forest as much as possible in accordance with the deal, in order to protect their lives. He also secretly followed the Lizardmen's request and led some human troops to attack the ratmen, Norscans, and the vampire pirates along the coast.

And every time a transaction is completed, the lizard people will place some treasure in the forest for Glenn to find.

The huge harvest also established Glenn's leadership position in the human settlement. Who would resist a leader who can make money for them?

The arrival of the Terrans, in his eyes, broke a cycle, which was why he was unwilling to be a guide despite the generous rewards. However, he did not explicitly stop others from helping Terra, because in his eyes, those who were willing to be guides would not be able to succeed.

The failure of the first exploration sent by Bourne was irrefutable evidence, but who would have thought that a group of Catachan tough guys would come out to kill us.

And on the crown of a tree outside the wasteland, a lizardman chameleon was lying motionlessly on it, observing these uninvited guests.

Faced with this kind of peeping, the Catachan tough guys seemed to sense something. They looked around carefully and said to Bourne that there were other intelligent creatures nearby, most likely those lizard people!

As the division spread out in a circle to look for any possible watchers, the chameleons also left instantly and brought their news back to the Lizardmen's Temple City.

At this time, Slanwupek, one of the only four remaining temple cities of the Lizardmen, was also called the City of Mist. The magic mist that had previously blocked Zhang Heng's God's perspective was the work of Shilan in this city.

At this time, the spirit lizard priests who were responsible for managing the lizardmen on behalf of Shilan were arguing about whether to wake up the honorable Shilan from his slumber. After arguing for a long time, they finally decided to interrupt the great Shilan's sleep. What was happening now was a little beyond their control.
