Chapter 303

Victor reached the edge of the half dragon settlement five days later.

Walking through the swamp is not an easy thing, even the alchemical militia specializing in field collection. Lizard swamps are full of traps and dangers, which are very unfriendly to humans. During the March, the team encountered no less than 50 beast attacks. Although most predators became the booty of alchemists, a monkey militia was dragged into the water by giant beetles. This is mainly because the swamp is muddy and difficult to walk. The 200 alchemy militia can only march in long lines. The war mastiff responsible for guarding can't take into account the whole team. As a result, an accident happened. This also shows that human beings are indeed not suitable for large-scale production and military activities in the swamp.

The alchemy militia is still so, not to mention ordinary people?

In fact, the correct way to open the logistics alchemy tower is to let the alchemy creatures team up to collect. However, Victor needs a strong and loyal armed force to ensure that his achievements are not usurped. He plans to gradually replace alchemy creatures with ordinary labor force to engage in production labor, so as to liberate more alchemy militia.

Conquering the half dragon tribe was the beginning of the plan.

It's raining and freezing. Victor and imosen hide in a makeshift canopy to talk about the half dragon tribe.

Language communication is only the basis of mutual communication. As an intelligent orc, Banlong people have a unique social structure. Their lifestyle, behavior habits and value orientation are very different from human beings. Victor must consider what strategy to adopt to achieve the ultimate goal.

Emerson lived in the Everglades for more than ten years, but he rejected humanoid monsters from his bones. If it were not for bertina's sake, he would never deal with the half dragon tribe. Even so, his understanding of the half dragon people was only superficial, and even refused to serve his alienated dragon lizard by the half dragon tribe.

Victor had a deeper understanding of the lizard tribe. According to the will side of the alchemy militia, lizard man, snake demon, swamp giant lizard and nine headed snake lizard are all blood descendants of the ancient giant beast - the king of Blackpool. The relationship between them is very strange. Hydra lizard has natural dominance over other blood lineages. Lizard people regard Hydra as a totem beast. They domesticate snake demons, fish and hunt for a living, provide food for Hydra lizard, clean up the environment and raise their young. This servility comes from the blood of lizard people and is deeply rooted from generation to generation.

It's like the king of Blackpool created a bunch of bastards to serve his own son. The lizard man is the servant of the hydra, the snake demon is their hound, and the swamp giant lizard is the guard and thug of the hydra. However, the licentious dragon joined the black king's family. The swamp dragon lizard has now become the swamp dragon lizard. They are smaller and have the regeneration talent of black blood and the lightning reflex talent of the dragon family. Swamp dragon lizard will not attack Hydra, but will no longer summon it accordingly. Half dragon people are known as dragon veins, but their dragon blood is relatively thin and still retain the nature of serving blood giants. However, they are stronger, smarter, more independent and fewer than lizard cousins. Half dragon people have dynamic vision, underwater breathing and healing ability. Fierce half dragon people have the talent of limb regeneration.

The half dragon people have a strong sense of territory. Those tribes who serve the Hydra will mercilessly kill the invading species. The lizard tribe far away from the Hydra territory is always ready to replace its opponent and strive to get closer to the totem beast. Killing each other keeps the number of half dragons stable. After all, the area of the Everglades is fixed and can't support too many swamp creatures.

The alchemist militia knew the habits of the half dragon people, but did not understand their social form. However, Victor believed that the race with single food, servility and strong sense of exclusion could not realize social division of labor, and the primitive ignorant tribes would not have the concept of trade. In contrast, the centaurs, jackals and ogres who enslaved the vassal races developed more complex social structures and were more aggressive.

Equal civilization has trade, and inequality has slavery!

Unfortunately, no race can enslave half dragons or lizards in the marsh. Their home advantage is too big. As long as they drill into the water, no one can do anything about them. If imosen alienates another swamp dragon lizard, he can establish a master-slave relationship with the half dragon people, but Victor does not need to directly enslave the half dragon tribe, let alone allow imosen to have the strength to compete with him. So Victor was ready to bring in another force to break the deadlock, the goblins.

Goblins, green skinned dwarfs, adapt to various environments. They eat less, live more, have a smart mind, flexible fingers and weak power. They are excellent slaves. Goblins are really used to being attached to powerful races. Without the protection of half dragons, they can't survive in the swamp. However, the primitive half dragons don't need goblin slaves. This is exactly the starting point of Victor's development plan.

Victor is going to occupy a territory in the Everglades for the half dragon tribe to thrive. The half dragon people act as bodyguards and supervisors of goblin slaves, and the object of support of goblin slaves is Victor. When the Banlong tribe grows to a certain extent, it is bound to go to the territory of Hydra and challenge other tribes. The loser will continue to manage goblin slaves. Therefore, Banlong and goblins will not have a catalytic reaction, so it is impossible to evolve a powerful and independent new tribe. They can't change the cooperative relationship established by Victor. They can only collect resources obediently.

"Sir, here comes the lizard man." Jack lifted the canvas curtain and said to victor.

Victor got up and went outside the shed. Through the rain curtain, he saw a group of upright lizards confronting the heavily armed alchemical militia 500 meters away.

These half dragons are about two meters high. Under the dark natural scales, they show a strong muscle outline. Their limbs are slender and powerful, full of fine sharp teeth, and there is a dark green vertical pupil in their amber eyes. Among the half dragon people, there are some lizards as big as lions and tigers. They are snake demons domesticated by the half dragon people, also known as petrified lizards. Almost every half dragon man clenched his bone throwing spear, and his straight tail kept sweeping around, looking restless.

"These half dragons look very nervous." Victor smiled and said to Emerson, "I won't go there. You should know what to do."

"I see! Intimidation and fraud." Imosen nodded and said confidently.

"That's right. Sometimes words work better than knives." Victor waved and said, "take the dragon lizard and the fierce wolf. I'll wait for your good news."

"Never let adults down!" Imosen stepped onto the saddle, the alchemical dragon lizard gave a low roar, stepped his limbs and walked towards the half dragon man, followed by dozens of alchemical war mastiffs. At this time, the wizard really had the style of a God chosen person.

Seeing imosen leading a group of dragon lizards and fierce wolves, the half dragon tribe first had a commotion, and then a tall and burly half dragon left the team and said with a scream that human beings could not understand: "wizard, are you here to fight with the son of niZe?"

"It's not difficult for me to kill all of you, but I've never done that." Imosen looked down at the half dragon leader arrogantly and said, "karu, you know this from the beginning."

The half dragon Kalu's tail curled a little and said, "but you refused us to support itugos, let it attack us, and now you have brought the human army." The bone spear pointed to the surrounding alchemy militia. The vertical pupils of the half dragon people flashed a cold light, "human beings should not appear in the mud. The son of mud is not afraid of bloody war." Imosen looked around. "These are my slaves, like itugos." After a pause, he said, "itugos has gone crazy and become bloodthirsty and cruel, threatening all lives. I will lead my slaves to kill itugos as a punishment against my will."

Kalu hissed, "you want us to help you get rid of itugos? The son of niZe will never hurt the blood beast! Even if it is crazy." The half dragon man said again, "wizard, we won't hinder you."

"Wise choice will save you from death." Imosen smiled contemptuously, pointed to the swamp and said, "this is my territory. After I get rid of itugos, the half dragon people must obey me if they want to stay, otherwise I will destroy the half dragon people in the territory like an ogre."

The leader of the half dragon people waved the bone spear and said, "Wizards and ogres are not blood beasts. The half dragon people will not serve you."

"Serve me? What can the half dragon man do for me? Clean up the feces? Fish and catch shrimp? You can't even use fire... Ha ha" imosen shook his head and laughed and said, "I have a slave and don't need the half dragon man to serve me."

"Half dragons can hunt in my territory, but I have one condition." Imosen said, "I want the seeds and minerals of qianqu reed. I will order my goblin slaves to collect these things. However, goblins are very weak. I need you to protect them, supervise them, let them work hard and transport my things to the designated place. That's all."

Kalu tilted the lizard's head and thought for a while before he said, "the meat of green dwarfs is not delicious. Giant beetles, six legged crocodiles, barrow turtles and tiger sturgeons are not picky about food. Half dragons can't protect all green dwarfs."

"Non picky beasts also eat half dragon people." Imosen said coldly, "you don't have to protect all the goblins, but your task is to kill the beasts as much as possible." Then he said to the monkey militia: "Captain Jack, give me a short spear." Jack pulled out a fine iron spear, and imosen threw it at the feet of the half dragon leader. "The half dragon needs the meat and bones of the beast, and I need the skin of the beast. Every time you give me three hexapod crocodile skins, or two giant beetle skins, or three shadow spiders, I will reward the half dragon with such a weapon."

Kalu fondly held the sharp and heavy fine iron throwing spear, and his tail rolled into a ball. The other ferocious half dragon people wanted to grab the fine iron throwing spear, but they were hit back by Kalu. They exchanged for a while. The half dragon leader said, "with such a throwing spear, we can protect the green dwarf."

"In exchange for leather and shadow spiders." Imosen stressed that he took several ore samples from the backpack of the alchemical dragon lizard and said, "there are many minerals underwater. If you give me these minerals, you can also exchange them for weapons." A fierce half dragon man picked up the specimen of sarong magic iron mine and hissed, "Haru has seen this kind of stone..."

"Have you really seen it?" Imosen's eyes suddenly lit up. This strange ore is a resource that Victor specially confessed and needs special attention.

"Ask him, how many minerals were found there?" Victor appeared silently beside imosen like a wisp of smoke. His sudden appearance startled the wizard and made the ferocious half dragon people retreat again and again. Imosen dared not delay and quickly asked the ferocious half dragon man.

"Loach lake, there are many such stones at the bottom of the lake." Imosen translated the answer of the half dragon man. Victor shook his head and said with a smile, "it's like saying nothing. Forget it, you go on." He thought it was good news to be able to determine the existence of sarong magic iron ore.

"Every time you give me five baskets of such stones, you will get a spear." Imosen cried, "it's the same as CARU's!"

"Yes!" "Agree!" "Exchange!" The ferocious half dragon people rolled up their tails to express their joy. Half dragon leader Kalu said, "wizard, we will always leave with these weapons..."

"Then you should tell the defeated that the half dragon people should abide by my rules as long as they are in my territory, otherwise..." the wizard's tone was somber. "Roar!" Although Victor didn't understand the half dragon language, he gave orders in time. Five alchemical dragon lizards and dozens of war mastiffs roared at the same time. The waves rolled and tore up the rain curtain. The half dragon people panicked, and the snake demon turned and wanted to escape. Imosen tried to resist the impulse to cover his ears, but found that the soldiers around him stood still.

Victor waved his hand. The wild roar seemed to be cut off by invisible scissors. He nodded to imosen and said, "OK, let's go."

"In twenty days, you can return to your original place of residence." Emerson confessed to the half dragon leader, trotted after Victor, and whispered, "Sir, where are we going?"

"Remove itugos."

"Ah?!"

"Why? Reluctant?" Victor raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "do you think I mobilized so many soldiers just to intimidate the half dragon people?"

"No, No. I'm not reluctant." Emerson explained in panic: "Sir, Captain Jack said that Philip is much bigger than before and has two legs in his abdomen... I'm afraid he will kill many soldiers... Don't you blame me?"

Victor looked at the trembling wizard and sighed, "that's why we should get rid of it as soon as possible."

The hunger for flesh and blood of alienated creatures is endless, and their minds are full of the desire to kill. The more flesh and blood they absorb, the deeper their alienation, the larger their size, the leap in strength, the larger their range of activities, and then create more killings and eat more flesh and blood. Fortunately, most alienated creatures belong to insects. They have a short life span. Even if they are not killed, they can't live for a few years. However, the body of itugos is a swamp dragon lizard. No one knows how long it can live and what it will become. To be sure, this alienated creature has threatened the security of the outpost camp. It will put Victor's development plan into water.

Itugos must die!
