Chapter 505 Reaching the Destination, the Shallow Water Murlocs of the Torrent Tribe [Anti-Theft] [5K]
Outside the castle, all the laborers and Tier 4 soldiers also got on the airship.
Baron Bezos stood there, and at this moment he seemed to regain the feeling of his youth.
The thirst for knowledge and exploration in my heart is hot and boiling.
His adventure career, which he had not continued for a long time, gave him the confidence and vitality of a young man.
In fact he was not a very good explorer.
When he was young, he encountered life-threatening more than once, and even sacrificed the lives of many accompanying soldiers.
But the adventure also gave him a strong inner strength and experience.
If everyone is like a sword, then exploration is the whetstone of his life.
And Baron Bezos is not as mediocre as he seems.
In previous expeditions, he also had successful experiences, and he also obtained some ancient weapons or magic props with great power in those ruins.
It's just that he doesn't want to show it, and the hole card can only be called a hole card if it is hidden in his hand.
And he has long foreseen the coming of chaos, these ancient objects may be able to change his destiny.
Not only the lords have their own calculations, but the aborigines naturally also have them.
It's just that there are not many guys like Baron Bezos who are sober and can plan ahead.
As the prelude to the great chaos and great fusion gradually opens, more and more aboriginal people will react.
However, conflicts may not necessarily break out first between the natives and the lords.
The internal backlog of the aborigines, including low productivity, division of classes, division of wealth, and extremely difficult passage to promotion, are serious internal conflicts.
There are also the alien races dormant everywhere and the hidden dangers of the continent such as the White Walkers.
Just detonate one, and a huge chaos will break out within the aborigines.
Baron Bezos stood there, watching Eagle sauce disappear into the sky before he walked into the pod.
The metal pod door slowly closed, accompanied by the "rumbling" sound of six sets of turbofans starting.
The airship floated into the air and slowly began to lift off.
The speed is much slower than that of Eagle sauce, and it is estimated that when the airship rises to a suitable height.
Eagle sauce has already flown dozens of kilometers away.
Even with more than a dozen people on his back, Eagle sauce is still as fast as a gust of wind.
Its maximum speed can reach more than 600 kilometers per hour.
When the speed is increased, it is equivalent to advancing more than ten kilometers per minute.
This air travel speed is no less than that of an old-fashioned propeller airliner.
Flying at such extreme speeds, everyone on its back has to withstand huge winds.
There was even the sound of wind and wind in the ears.
The scales on the eagle sauce have played a great role in stabilizing everyone's body.
Everyone grabbed the scales tightly and lowered their heads, not letting their faces face the airflow.
Only Zong Shen is the most calm, because his position is also the best.
He was riding behind Eagle sauce's neck, with Eagle sauce's neck and big head in front of him.
This is a natural barrier that can block part of the airflow for him.
With all his strength on the road, Zong Shen didn't even bother to look at the scenery.
There is no beautiful scenery along the way.
After 80 to 90 kilometers northward, we entered the mountains.
This mountain has the same origin as the northern mountain near the Zongshen territory.
It is an extension of the northern mountain range. The mountain is thousands of kilometers long and is a natural barrier between the northern part of the Avalon Kingdom and the Nord Kingdom.
It belongs to the typical two-way zone, and the two kingdoms have no intention to build or develop it at present.
There are many mountains of this scale in the entire continent.
Because there are no large-scale wars, the resources within the kingdom's jurisdiction are adequately supplied.
Therefore, there is no need to develop mountains and valleys.
This is why Azshara's abandoned mine has never been reopened.
Since there is no shortage of resources, who would thankfully go to clear the mines?
After all, this mine has a lot of involvement, and the development process is bound to encounter obstacles from the resurrected undead monsters and crypt creatures.
It is precisely because of this situation that the lords have room to develop.
The mountains to the north cut off parts of the Nord and Avalon kingdoms.
It divides from east to west and is a buffer area.
The Kingdom Straight Road was built near the East China Sea and at the end of the mountain in the west as the official passage between the two kingdoms. In addition, the giant cities near the border and even a few fortress-type state cities had corresponding teleportation circles.
These teleportation circles need to be opened in both directions. One party sends a transmission request, and the other party agrees to open the teleportation circle successfully.
In short, humans rarely set foot in this forest.
It is not too easy to cross this mountain forest.
Only the villagers in the border area and some hunting groups and mercenary groups enter the forest.
There are a large number of raptors, beasts, and various aliens inhabiting them.
There are also rumors that some churches have built secret strongholds in similar places.
In addition to these anecdotes, there are also some precious forging materials and magic materials.
It is also a blood-stained land for adventurers and a fertile ground for wealth.
Zong Shen blocked the airflow with his arm and looked down at the scenery below.
The forest is very lush, and the eyes are green.
The mountains rise and fall, creating valleys, basins, cliffs, and rough sweeps.
The rough title can be summed up as "mountain forest".
In fact, the details of the internal terrain are simply ever-changing.
Such a place, uninhabited, should be a resource-rich area.
However, during the flight, Zong Shen discovered that there are territories in the mountains and forests.
Near the location where the lord landed, the trees were basically cut down, so the recognition was very high, and these territories were usually on the slightly open mountainside.
There are also some places like mountains and streams.
This is not uncommon, because Zongze's territory is also in the mountains.
In addition, Zong Shen also found that the areas in the mountains and forests are not densely divided.
Unlike them in the plains, the regions are next to each other.
In this mountainous area, there is often a blank area of dozens of kilometers after flying over an area.
After flying over the blank area, it entered another area.
The reasons for this may be related to terrain or specific environmental conditions.
Just observing all the way, Ying-chan has come to the sky above the destination.
The whole journey is less than fifty minutes.
According to the tips of the navigation guide, he quickly saw the lake where the destination was located.
The area of this lake is not small, even from a height of several thousand meters, it looks like a round mirror.
To the north of the lake is a clearing, and to the south there are several mountains with a height of more than 1,000 meters.
The lake is adjacent to the foot of the mountain and it looks conspicuous.
In addition, this area is also a blank area in the forest where no lords come.
The resident site of the Knights of the Lions is located at the foot of the mountain by the lake according to the guidelines.
After more than 10,000 years of changes, the terrain has changed after the vicissitudes of life.
The ruins were buried, and the foot of the mountain swelled up.
It is almost impossible for the lords nearby to discover the ruins of the station here.
They don't have any tips for strategy, unless they can get out of the mountains and catch up with the aboriginal master who knows the secret.
Otherwise, we have to wait until someone explores the vicinity and discovers the ruins by chance.
Zong Shen patted Eagle sauce on the neck and let it fall.
In order not to disturb the shallow water murlocs, Zong Shen changed his landing spot.
He chose the top of the mountain as the landing point.
It is condescending here, and you may be able to observe the ruins at the foot of the mountain, and you can also see the lake.
If it fell directly at the foot of the mountain or beside the lake, it would be like putting your face up and letting those shallow water murlocs hit.
Overlord-level dragon-veined griffin plus thirteen human uninvited guests.
I am afraid that as soon as it hits the ground, it will cause the hostility of the shallow water murlocs.
So Zong Shen chose a conservative landing site before Baron Bezos arrived.
He wasn't going to have a full-scale conflict with the murlocs if it wasn't necessary.
Eagle sauce naturally had no objection, it fell on the cliff at the top of the mountain according to Zong Shen's order.
The top of the mountain here is bare and full of hard rock.
Fortunately, the top of the cliff is not too small, enough for Eagle sauce to land freely, and to ensure that everyone can move.
When they fell, Yingjiang approached from the other side of the mountain, which was also Zong Shen's request, try not to let them be exposed in advance.
After landing, Zong Shen immediately jumped down to the side of the cliff.
The view here is excellent, and there are no lush trees to interfere with the view.
Most of the plants grow on the mountainside.
From the cliff, you can see far away places, including the bend of the lake.
After all, this mountain is also more than 1,000 meters high, and it is a natural lookout and commanding heights.
Zong Shen took out the [Single Telescope (Purple)] and began to observe the lake.
With the blessing of the telescope's vision, he can finally see the details of the environment near the lake.
It was like a paradise, the lake was very large, at least ten times larger than the small lake where Zong Shen had been to before the abandoned dragon nest.
On the side of the lake near the foot of the mountain, that is, on the south bank of the lake, nothing happened.
On the contrary, there are traces of shallow water murloc activities in the two corresponding positions on the east and west banks.
Because Zong Shen was on the shore of the lake, he saw a lot of domed grass huts made of wood.
Many are built directly into the lake, and they use logs to build the foundation.
Zong Shen had never seen a murloc before.
Until now he has seen the so-called shallow water murlocs from the sight of the telescope.
Because the distance is too far, even with the vision bonus granted by the telescope, only some figures can be seen vaguely.
These shallow water murlocs are small, comparable to ordinary goblins.
Its body is pale blue, and it seems to have scales with mucus like fish.
The head is also very strange, shaped like a fish head, but unfortunately the specific facial features cannot be seen clearly. There is a row of blue fins from the back of the head to the spine, with limbs, as well as webbed palms and soles.
More details can't be seen, and even some of the shapes were made up by Zong Shennao.
Anyway, the so-called shallow water fish and mermaids are not on the same page. As the name suggests, they are real "fish people". Just looking at their appearance, they are fish with limbs that can walk upright.
Therefore, the name murloc has absolutely no artistic processing ingredients.
Simple and true.
On the east and west banks of the lake, there are a large number of domed grass sheds, and there are at least thousands of them.
As for the north shore, it is too far away from here, and the mist rising from the lake, layer upon layer, seems to be covered with a white gauze on the north shore.
There is nothing on the south bank, and it seems that there is no shallow water murloc activity.
This is actually very abnormal. There should be something near the south bank that the fish people are very afraid of.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen leaned out halfway again, wanting to see the situation at the foot of the mountain.
However, the trees on the mountainside were so dense that they just blocked the view from the top of the mountain.
"It's difficult, you still have to find a way to go down and have a look."
"Let's ask the strategy first."
Zong Shen retracted his protruding body and sat directly on the edge of the cliff.
Start asking about the Raiders module.
"Please tell me how many murlocs are in the lake?"
"How are these murlocs fighting?"
"Why didn't they build domes on the south bank?"
Zong Shen raised questions one after another in his mind.
Perhaps it was because of the series of problems he had this time around, and there was no immediate feedback from the Raiders module.
After about two or three seconds, the golden hint subtitles slowly emerged.
(There are shallow-water murlocs of the Torrent tribe inhabiting the lake. They have been breeding here for hundreds of years. At present, there are 617 murloc cubs, 4714 ordinary murlocs, 2192 excellent steel murloc warriors, and excellent fish. 827 Human Wavebreakers, 311 Captain-level Murloc Prophets, 125 Captain-level Murloc Nightcrawlers, 52 Command-level Shallow Water Trekkers, and 6 Overlord-level Tide Masters
(Shallow water murlocs are weaker than human warriors and spellcasters within the same rank, but this is their home ground, and the murloc altar is enshrined on the north shore, where there will be tight defenses and it is extremely difficult to break through
As for why they don't breed on the south bank, it is because there are often fifth-order lion and skeleton knights in the ruins, ravaging the lake bank, and over time they will abandon the south bank)
"hiss!"
After reading the contents of the guide, Zong Shen took a deep breath.
The size of the murloc tribe was beyond his imagination.
The total number of murlocs of various ranks has reached more than 8,000.
There are 6 murlocs at the overlord level alone.
Judging from this ratio of numbers, Zong Shen estimates that the strength of the best among them should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, murlocs do not belong to the longevity species, and their individual strength is similar to that of kobolds.
Compared with humans, their fighting power is slightly inferior.
However, the number gap between the two sides is too large, and it is not rational to be rigid.
Zong Shen had no other plans for this.
There are four or five hundred kilometers from here to Bosang.
Counting the straight-line distance, there are thousands of kilometers to the territory.
He had no interest in taming a group of murloc warriors so far apart.
Such an idea is not practical, at least in the short term.
In the future, when the territory develops into a giant city, maybe Zong Shen will have the leisure and elegance to tame them.
After all, alien units like this do not take up domination points.
He can completely replicate the mode of conquering the Griffin's Nest.
Directly tame the leader of this tribe of murlocs called the Riptide Tribe.
achieve a state of indirect domination.
These murlocs can be used as additional combat power, and they don't take up Dominance anyway.
In the future, Zongshen may build some branch cities, and even consider building a coastal giant city.
Then these murlocs can come in handy.
Although they live in fresh water, in fact the most suitable home for murlocs is the ocean.
This also stems from the nature of the blood, but compared with the ocean, the lake here is also a safe habitat.
And the reason why these shallow water murlocs are not active on the south bank is because there are already undead in the ruins who have been alerted.
To be able to make the murlocs retreat, the strength of those undead knights is definitely not weak, and the number is definitely not large, otherwise these more than 8,000 murlocs will never behave as if they can't fight and hide.
This information also indirectly proves two elements that Raiders and Baron Bezos have emphasized before.
"Undead" and "Murloc".
Being able to solve these two problems, this time the exploration will be extremely easy.
Although the murlocs abandoned the south bank, they did not completely ignore it.
Zong Shen discovered in his observation just now that many simple sentries were built on both sides of the east and west banks adjacent to the south bank, and trenches were also dug out, turning the 100 meters of land on the lake bank into a slushy quagmire. , In such a mud, even the actions of the undead bone horse will be affected.
There are also groups of murloc warriors patrolling around there.
Obviously these little blue-skinned guys still attach great importance to the situation on the South Bank.
It also proves that those lion and skeleton knights have caused heavy losses to them.
Otherwise, these murlocs would never have faced such a formidable enemy.
Such a situation is very unfavorable for Zong Shen and their future actions.
Even if they don't take the initiative to provoke the murlocs, once they excavate ruins at the foot of the mountain or fight the revived lion and skeleton knights, they are bound to be discovered by the patrolling murlocs.
If these quirky little things insist on disrupting the situation, Zong Shen and Bezos will be in a very dangerous situation.
This time, Zong Shen brought all elite soldiers and strong generals with rich combat experience.
Including himself, he also has many means and powerful combat power.
But there is no advantage here.
One side is a huge number of murloc tribes, and the other side is a single powerful lion and skeleton knight.
They can only concentrate on one side and cannot bear the pressure and consequences of a two-front battle.
The revived lion skeleton knights in the ruins are all warriors of the original lion knights.
Zong Shen estimated that their strength would definitely not be comparable to Richardson, who was wandering near the Bone Burial Ground.
But these guys were also Tier 5 warriors before they were alive, and they came from the previous era with higher gold content. Even if they became undead knights, their strength had decreased to a certain extent, and they should not become too bad.
And these knights are not Richardson, and there will be no strong chivalry to suppress the will to kill.
The skeleton knight controlled by the killing instinct is the real nightmare.
Therefore, the combat power shown by these guys is at least above the fourth-order knight!
Why do people always confuse the upgrade of the territory with the upgrade of the City Lord's Mansion?
That's right, it's you, the reader has no wind!
