CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 95: RICH HARVEST

Hunt the dying Red Dragon? He heard this information during the interrogation of the Kelder Ratman.

Unexpectedly, it has been confirmed by cross-references.

However, that place is too far away and has nothing to do with Weilu City for the time being.

"Do you know of any treasure places in the Underworld? Such as mineral veins or Ancient Ruins..."

"The pressure of survival competition in the Underworld is immense. All the places we know of are occupied, and if you want to acquire them, you can only rob them from others."

If the Wilderness is a blatant jungle rule, then the rules of the Underworld are ten times more bloody than the Wilderness.

A world without light nurtures the most extreme darkness of this world.

Lear is very curious about that legendary dark land filled with abundant treasures and inhabited by countless ferocious races.

However, that exploration will have to wait until the later stages of development.

After asking for a moment more and not getting additional information, Lear did not linger and left neatly.

Watching his back, all the Dark Night Elves felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, they were like meat on a chopping board, left to be cut and kneaded at will.

There was no chance of resistance.

With the matter of the Dark Night Elves settled, Lear noticed it was already noon and summoned the Crimson Queen Bee while contemplating.

He instructed her to lead 30,000 Crimson Wasps to hunt.

The scale of the operation needed to be larger.

Developing step by step may not be able to deal with that Flying Dragon by mid-October.

Previously, when the Crimson Queen Bee was still asleep, sending the Crimson Wasps to hunt alone made it hard to organize effective attacks when encountering powerful lifeforms, leading to massive losses easily.

Now that the Queen Bee is at the helm, hunting is no longer an issue.

Lear was not satisfied and further ordered Haggs to take two squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry and three Bubble Beasts out to hunt.

Although Cold-blooded Cavalry is slower than Crimson Wasps, they are equally fierce. General wild creature gathering places can’t withstand the assault of two squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry.

Bubble Beasts are responsible for carrying corpses, fully cooperative.

The second team set off.

Meanwhile, the territory also had five squadrons of Wetland Lizardman Warriors stationed, with a Flesh Butcher overseeing the place.

Additionally, there’s the activated City Hall.

There’s no need to worry about internal security issues.

In these few days, his main goal was to enhance the numbers of Cold-blooded Cavalry by all means possible.

While pig farms were still breeding piglets, it’s not yet the time to exert force. To acquire flesh, one had to hunt externally.

After the army set off, Lear continued to return to the fish pond to drink tea.

He felt inexplicably emotional.

After such a long effort, it has finally paid off.

The power accumulated by Weilu City gave him the leeway for multi-line operations.

Thinking back to when he just arrived at the Swamp earlier this month, he didn’t even dare to think about it.

As he pondered, he noticed the Dragon Blood Red fish happily eating Fish Tail Grass in the water, and he felt even better.

Military progress is rapid, and the aspect of production and construction hasn’t been neglected either.

Everything is steadily developing.

That night, the army returned, and the Crimson Queen Bee had hunted over a thousand corpses.

The Crimson Wasps carried the corpses back as if they were drones.

After reaching Level 9, the combat power of the Crimson Wasps increased by several notches.

Moreover, the Crimson Queen Bee could replenish numbers immediately after consumption, fearing no sacrifices.

With the exploration efficiency of flying lifeforms, if not for almost being unable to carry more, today’s harvest would have been even more abundant.

Haggs also brought back more than 300 corpses.

All were placed in the Little Lizard area to start breeding Cold-blooded Cavalry.

At this speed, it won’t take long for a fully-formed Cold-blooded Cavalry to emerge.

The next day, early in the morning, Lear sent the army out to continue hunting.

It’s worth mentioning that the Bubble Beasts, who were previously producing offspring, have finally regained their strength and started joining the combat ranks.

The number of available Bubble Beasts instantly returned to 26.

Hunting requires high intensity these days, so he didn’t rush the non-reproductive Bubble Beasts like Bobo to have offspring.

Besides, leaving two to maintain the operation of the territory, all others joined the combat ranks.

The Crimson Queen Bee took 18 Bubble Beasts, while Haggs took 6.

The Cold-blooded Cavalry, which he hunted and bred over the past two days, all completed their metamorphosis today, with three new squads joining the battle.

The number of Cold-blooded Cavalry has reached five squads, greatly enhancing combat power.

Lear didn’t participate and left the hunting tasks to the two teams, while he stayed behind in the territory, handling the backlog of government affairs with Bain.

The territory is expanding rapidly, and all aspects need to be arranged.

However, there is obviously a shortage of administrative staff, and all the departments Bain established before are now just frameworks.

They have not yet been put into actual operation.

The reason... is simply the lack of talent.

The Mud Swamp People’s literacy rate is relatively high, but among the hundred people, less than half can read, and less than half of them, about twenty, can handle governance.

The Deltha People, covered in feathers, are naturally timid and illiterate, essentially unable to do anything.

Moreover, the smart Fray People immersed themselves in the Blacksmith Shop, studying suitable armor for the Cold-blooded Cavalry day and night, with no interest in administration.

The Wetland Lizard-men are completely battle-minded, each fiercer in battle than the last. Having them handle governance is purely comical.

The enslaved Troglodytes before, born as mining sacred bodies, are top-notch labor beasts, meant to be ruled.

In total, the scale of Weilu City has expanded, but the quality of talent is utterly disgraceful.
