Chapter 869 Returning to Emerald City

After leaving the weakest bright golden crane to escort the queen.

Sean personally led more and more ant soldiers to clean up the entire abandoned city.

In this abandoned city, there is only one Shadow Mastermind, but there is not only one Queen Locust, but as many as nine.

The remaining eight are only used to produce ordinary migratory locusts, and they don't even have the ability to hatch shadow praying mantises in such an emergency.

Once attacked, the only thing they can do is to scream sharply and call the descendants around to protect them.

They naturally became the top signal transmitters for Sean and the others to gather around for reinforcements.

You only need to poke them from time to time like how the bright golden crane dealt with the locust queen before, so that they can gather all the migratory locusts around them, saving them the trouble of chasing and killing them all over the world.

After the value of their siege and aid is exhausted, what awaits them is naturally a purification adaptation.

Shaun originally intended to turn them into Queen Ants as well, increasing the rampage speed.

But after seeing the cost of adapting them into a new ant queen, Sean backed down on the spot, only then did he deeply understand what a huge gift Goddess Abigail gave him.

Adapting an ant queen requires the power of 1.2 million laws.

Sean's remaining law power is just a fraction of it.

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal to have such a consumption.

To adapt the shape and structure of the Bright Golden Crane would consume an average of 10,000 law power.

As for the queen ant, it seems that there is only one, but in fact it is a complete race, all of which have been edited.

The power of 1.2 million laws creates a brand new race, is that much?

Not much at all.

The 1.2 million is also due to the consumption given by the template of the original ant queen as a reference.

In the original ant queen's body, the power of law invested by Abigail's plane is definitely much larger than this figure, and even consumes a lot of original material--research and development costs have always been expensive It's just that Sean didn't pay for the money, so I don't feel much.

This does not mean that Sean will only have one queen ant to use in the future.

When Xiao En adapted the Ant Queen, how could he not consider the issue of expanding the violent soldiers.

Ant queens have the ability to copy all of their own genetic data and give birth to a special ant guard. After arriving at a place rich in nutrients, it can take root and transform into a new ant queen. This trick is exactly the same as the way ants live.

Because it is inherited through the normal process of life, and does not involve adaptation that violates the laws of the plane, naturally it does not need to pay a lot of power of laws.

Of course, this kind of race expansion method is relatively time-consuming. Whether it is the birth of special ant guards, or the special ant guards take root and transform into queens, it will take time and a lot of nutrients.

It won't be like the transformation of the ready-made locust queen, which will have immediate results and can be put into mass production in half a day.

No matter how much time is saved, it is impossible to save time worth 1.2 million laws of power.

In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for Sean to do such a luxurious thing. With the power of the 1.2 million laws, he can do other more valuable things.

There is no way to adapt it into a new ant queen, but it does not mean that the locust queen has lost other use values.

In addition to adapting to become an ant queen, the Rune of the Law of Life also gave Sean another direction of adaptation, the combat type he had previously abandoned.

The transformation price of the combat type is very different from that of the reproduction type, and it only needs 12,000.

Even though it is a hundred times different from the reproduction type, the price of the highest adaptation of the Bright Golden Crane is almost the same.

The old rule is to modify one first, see the actual effect, and then decide whether to buy in large quantities.

Needless to say the result.

Since obtaining the power of the law, its actual effects have never disappointed Sean.

The upgraded combat form of the Empress Locust is somewhat similar to that of the Shadow Mantis, except that it is larger and thinner than the Bright Golden Crane, but its combat effectiveness is not inferior.

The giant praying mantis fist, opening gold and cracking the soil, can forcibly hit the trunk of Saibi King Kong's Abigail world tree, making a hole of several centimeters.

The Giant Praying Mantis Knife, which basically breaks everything, has the same effect as the beak of the Bright Golden Crane, which can materialize twisted nightmares and prevent their energy regeneration.

In the sparring hands, the bright golden crane did not dare to be caught by the mantis knife of the bright mantis.

Overall, the 12,000 yuan spent is still worth it.

Sean was chopping his hands in pain while comforting himself. This is a necessary investment in the early stage. They are each a big killer. The powerful existence that can fight against those shadow generals and shadow masterminds will help him get back his money in a short time. .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

It is the power of the small 60,000 law to invest in it again.

Xiao En has five more Mantis Titans under his command, making up a team with Bright Golden Crane.

After the remaining four locusts, Xiao En didn't move them. He just killed the nightmare of the migratory locusts and left a large number of migratory locusts for them.

This is not done out of mercy, but to keep them in captivity.

Whether it is a bright golden crane or a bright mantis, they all need to eat—a lot of food.

You can't feed them with ant soldiers in the future, right?

Not only is it a question of luxury, but Sean's ethics do not allow this. Although the other party is an insect in essence, he can be regarded as his own soldier. He will not allow this to happen unless it is absolutely necessary.

Soon the abandoned city of Abigail named Bolton was under Sean's control.

This time, he couldn't walk away like he did to Emerald City.

Now is the time when the original Ant Queen's guilt is weak. If it is besieged by a large number of twisted nightmares on a large scale, if it is damaged here, Sean's plan to explode soldiers will be ruined.

Even if you go out to roam, you have to wait until the first queen ant has a certain ability to protect herself.

Therefore, while Xiao En launched a full-scale investigation of the abandoned city with a radius of one hundred miles, he ordered the queen ant to burst out a group of worker ants, preparing to transform the abandoned city and turn it into the original nest to protect the original ant queen.

The rabbit spirit in Sean's bones has never faded, and he has a soft spot for all kinds of infrastructure, even in the plane of Abigail, which is on the verge of collapse, it has not changed.

Although a part of it was shown in the Emerald City, it was someone else's city after all. He was just an outsider, and he was completely in charge of the lair at first, so the energy he invested was naturally different.

But when the large-scale construction started, the shortcomings of Ant-Man slowly began to be exposed.

As soldiers, they are perfectly qualified.

They have the almost perfect character of the soldiers - they are not afraid of death, order and prohibit, never lazy and so on.

But wisdom is a bit worrying, especially creative intelligence, which is not satisfactory.

Let them burrow, they promise to do it very quickly.

But let them carve law runes and build mage towers according to Xiao En's needs, that would be a pure embarrassment for them.

Ant guards with relatively high intelligence are also not good, at most they have good learning ability, if they can spend a lot of time teaching them, they may be able to master these additional skills.

Where does Sean have so much time to train them from scratch?

We can only find another way to make up for their shortcoming.

The first thing Xiao En thought of was Emerald City, especially since it was not far from the other side, the straight-line distance was no more than 150 kilometers, and it was also convenient for watching and helping each other.

Especially when another even bigger nightmare lair was discovered 30 kilometers away in a straight line, Sean's sense of urgency grew stronger.

That nightmare lair was more than five times the size of the abandoned city Shawn occupied.

In addition to the mass production of flying nightmares like an assembly line, as Sean saw before, there was also a shadow door opened by twisted nightmares leading directly to the shadow plane, and a large number of original twisted nightmares flooded in every day , gathered there, and then went to the battlefield.

That's right.

It is the battlefield.

A siege of unprecedented scale and unusual.

That nightmare lair is only one of the sources of troops for this siege battle, and there are no less than three nightmare lairs of various sizes in other directions that continuously provide sources of troops.

As for the target being besieged, it was none other than the main target of Sean's trip, the city of Lunn, the capital of the Abigail elves.

Not only is Lun City nearly ten times larger than Emerald City, but its military strength is also not comparable to that of Emerald City.

In addition to having the city's protective shield as a backing, Lun City also has a strong counterattack force.

Xiao En took a peek from a distance, and there were at least ten huge figures outside Lun City, fighting with those twisted nightmares.

Although it was only from a distance, Sean recognized their identities at a glance.

Because they are so recognizable—they are giant dragons that have long since disappeared in the Sean plane.

The scale of this battle is far beyond what the one in Emerald City can match.

Even in the first lair, with extraordinary gains, Xiao En leads some troops and rashly joins in, it will be difficult to reverse the situation in a short time, and it is very likely that they will be dragged into a long-term war of attrition.

Although Lun City is at a disadvantage, it is not possible for those twisted nightmares to break through the city's protective shield in a short time.

Xiao En decided to hold back for a while, taking advantage of the fact that the twisted nightmares hadn't discovered himself, and gave them a hard blow, at least to the extent of uprooting a nightmare lair.

After hiding the queen ant and leaving some strength to protect himself, Sean took four bright golden cranes and two bright praying mantises and rushed to the Emerald City overnight. In order not to cause disturbance, Sean first let them dock at Out of the sight of the Emerald City, he was the first to move closer.

"Master Special Envoy? It is Mr. Special Envoy who has returned."

"Hey, it's really Mr. Special Envoy. Why did he come back so soon? Could it be that he has made contact with Lun's people? Or did he bring bad news?"

"Don't make random guesses, the special envoy is back at this time, hurry up and inform the city lord and the high priest!"

"You only need to notify the city lord. Your Excellency the high priest doesn't need us to rule at all. I believe he is the first to get the news."

"Understood!"

Sean's departure and return still caused quite a commotion in the Emerald City.

After all, he had been away for no more than a week, and all the citizens thought that there was no chance to see him in a short time.

This abnormal behavior naturally caused a wave of uneasy speculation.

Compared to when Xiao En left, the Emerald City looked deserted and empty. There were basically no citizens on the streets, and only a small number of city defense soldiers were still on duty, sticking to their posts.

The soldiers who went to inform the city lord of Roxani hadn't taken a few steps.

The city lord of Roxani had already rushed over with a few guards, apparently informed by the high priest sitting in the mage's tower. At this time, Xiao En had just passed through the city's protective shield and landed, and the energy clone landed first.

The Lord of Roxani laughed heartily and said, "Master Messenger, welcome back. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. I don't know how the past week has been. Have you found the Lun Empire?"

"Thanks to the help of the city lord, we have indeed successfully found the Imperial Capital of Lunen, but..." Xiao En hesitated to speak.

"Just what?" Roxani City Lord asked anxiously, "Could it be that the Lunn Empire has encountered an accident?"

"That's not true." Sean shook his head and said, "It's just that its condition is very bad. It is being besieged by a large number of nightmares. It will be a matter of time before the city's protective shield is breached. In that case, I can't approach the Lun Imperial Capital rashly. , if it is mistaken for the enemy, it will be bad."

"Then what is the special envoy going to do? If there is anything we can help, just say it." The city lord of Roxani once again expressed his attitude and the position of the Emerald City.

Although the time he had been in contact with Sean was not long, it was enough for him to understand the other person's character.

The other party is not someone who likes to waste time. He must have his own purpose in returning to Emerald City at this time.

Sean didn't greet the Lord Roxani either, and said straight to the point: "This time, I came back to Emerald City to ask for help. Although the contact with Lun Imperial Capital was not smooth, it was not without any gains. I found out A city called Bolton..."

"Bolton? The special envoy has found Bolton City? Are the people there okay? Its lord Kim Mington is my old friend for many years. I don't know if he has mentioned me..." The lord of Roxani had a look of concealment. She was very excited, but at the end, her tone became lower and lower, because she found that Sean's expression did not look like the excitement of finding a survivor.

"If the special envoy brings unfortunate news, we can also say bluntly that we haven't encountered any citizen from Bolton City in our dreams for at least five years. Many people are speculating that maybe Bolton City has long since disappeared. They exist again, but many people are unwilling to face it. After all, we have lost too much these years, and sometimes we have to deceive ourselves. Survive wherever you go!"

"Sorry!" Sean didn't know how to apologize for breaking their last thought for the bad news he had brought.
