Chapter 768 - 325: Development, Expansion, New Situation (3)
The tentacles of Weilu City extend without any obstruction... If there is any, just sever it directly!
He wouldn’t waste too much effort on this.
Of course, what Lear values most this time is whether Seric can be trained.
This 4-star hero, he has high hopes for.
As the range of the territory’s governance expands, the gap for such advanced talent grows larger.
A powerful administrator can save a staggering amount of manpower and resources.
Bain is only going for a short trip, ultimately it’s up to Seric to take over.
After they left, Lear also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take a break when Katana delivered urgent military information... they found traces of new enemies!
Lear thought of the previous intelligence... Divine Abominations will invade the Original Plane.
His heart grew wary, and without hesitation, he focused his mind and directly possessed the Dark Night Hunter.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Isa beside him.
Feeling the aura of majesty from the Dark Night Hunter in front, the leader of the Dark Night Elves relaxed her heart and immediately bowed with a hand on her chest.
"Greetings, Great Your Majesty..."
Lear nodded and said softly.
"What happened?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights discovered traces of new monsters on the edge of the Long Thorn Mountain Range... These monsters are highly infectious; once touched, they are corrupted into the enemy’s companions."
"We lost two squadrons of Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights..."
Isa’s tone was grave.
"I have already dispatched five battalions of Crowned Eagle Horned Beast Knights for patrol!"
"Currently, three waves of enemies have been found, and over 500 monsters have been killed."
She waved her hand, and immediately two Cold-blooded Cavalry brought a steel cage covered with black cloth closer.
After setting the cage on the ground, the two lifted the cover.
Inside revealed a monster covered in pus-filled boils.
The creature’s spine was lined with spikes, crawling on four limbs, its tail bones like a steel whip, with the tip sharp as a spear.
Focusing intently, one could see its pointed ears and many elven characteristics.
Lear furrowed his brow.
"Is this a Half-Elf?"
"Correct, Your Majesty."
"After being corrupted, Half-Elves turn into this form... and the most terrifying part is that they can mimic and transform into their original appearance."
"This monster’s disguise was accidentally exposed."
"Each one of them is extremely dangerous..."
It’s not the enemy’s strength that’s frightening, but this eerie ability.
Sometimes, one doesn’t even know where they come from, how they come, or what damage they will cause.
Isa’s face was full of apprehension.
Lear furrowed his brow again.
Opened its Attribute Panel.
Demonic Half-Elf, Level: 14, Traits: Mimicry, after killing a target, can transform into the target and maintain the same power as before.
...
This monster indeed has some peculiar characteristics.
He thought of the Swamp Boggart, which after upgrading, can also directly transform into their desired target.
That Abyssal Evil God - Master of Heart Eating is still sending things to Weilu City.
While pondering, his mind stirred slightly.
"Get two Swamp Boggarts..."
"Yes!"
Soon, two Swamp Boggarts who stayed behind in the territory were summoned, and Lear gestured at the cage.
"See if they can withstand your song..."
The Swamp Boggarts looked at the hideous monster with some disgust in their eyes, immediately becoming alert.
This is the test from Your Majesty; there must be no mistakes.
Right then, they slightly parted their red lips, and a melodious song echoed in the sky.
The monster seemed to hear some sound of despair, immediately covering its head, letting out an ear-piercing scream.
As if it had been greatly stimulated.
What was alarming was that after the song floated around, similar terrifying and harsh screams came from afar.
This scene made everyone’s face change dramatically.
The territory doesn’t just have the monster captured... someone has infiltrated Katana!!!
Lear’s gaze turned icy.
"Isa, capture and kill immediately!"
The leader of the Dark Night Elves looked extremely distressed.
She was responsible for guarding the safety of Katana, priding herself on having impenetrable security, with no room for error.
She didn’t expect the enemy had infiltrated!
This is an unforgivable mistake.
She immediately turned around to handle it personally.
Lear waved for the Swamp Boggarts to follow and cooperate.
Soon, a hunting operation was launched within Katana.
This wave captured a total of 27 corrupted monsters.
Among them, more than half were disguised as ordinary residents, following the crowd from outside to migrate into Katana.
After purging the hidden dangers in the whole territory, the army finally settled down.
Looking at the hunted monsters, Isa’s face remained grim; it was her responsibility, and she couldn’t escape it.
Taking a deep breath, she knelt on one knee, admitting her mistake to Lear.
"Your Majesty, this was my negligence, please punish me!"
Lear looked at her.
"Don’t become arrogant and complacent; you must retain enough caution in every situation... Making this mistake once is enough."
"In the future, dispatch a Swamp Boggart to stand at the city entrance, and new villagers entering the city must be inspected by a Swamp Boggart."
"Additionally, conduct a full city inspection every three days, along with irregular spot checks."
"Troops returning from outside must be inspected."
"If manpower is sufficient, you can carry a Swamp Boggart to hunt..."
Once the targeted approach is found, it becomes manageable.
Isa nodded emphatically.
"Yes!"
She would never make the same mistake again!
While pondering, Lear looked towards the outside of the city, his gaze deep.
"The situation is becoming increasingly precarious, accelerate the gathering of villagers within the mountains... don’t delay further."
"If necessary, resorting to forceful measures is not out of the question."
"Focus on those villages with temples, and make significant progress by the end of this month."
"Yes!"
These mimicking monsters gave Lear a sense of an impending storm; he raised his vigilance to the utmost.
Moreover, the Divine Abominations are just the appetizers, as the Gods have increased their investment in the Original Plane.
He must take control of the Long Thorn Mountain Range as quickly as possible, then extend his reach further...
Now is the time to seize territory, and if he fails to grasp the opportunity, the road ahead may not be so smooth.
His cooperation with the Goddess of Misfortune is also based on occupying more temples.
The other party had helped him a lot before; he can’t let this powerful partner walk away empty-handed.
Moreover, Ancient Humans are a rare delicacy; if there’s a big piece of meat to take, take as much as you can, as such a great opportunity won’t be found outside.
