Chapter 879
The best way to open source, of course, is war.
Especially now that Sean has enough background.
Leaving aside the ancient shadow dragon, the biggest gain of Sean's battle with him this time is that he has accumulated a powerful army of ant soldiers.
The original nest now has a total of 1,000 Ant-Man Priests, 8,000 Elite Ant Guards, and 25,000 Flying Ants. They are all survivors of the bloody battle. The number of one star is as high as 30%, 30% Between half a star and one star, the remaining 40% is also close to half a star.
There is no need to say more about elite ant guards and flying ants.
Both of them were spawned by the original ant queen using the ultra-fast hatching function under special circumstances and spending a lot of energy. That is to say, it took advantage of the power to mobilize the surrounding world trees to be able to spawn such an ant in such a short period of time. Many ant soldiers came out.
The number of ant soldiers spawned at the beginning was three times that, and two-thirds of the ant soldiers died in the previous bloody battle.
This kind of good thing, only this time.
At least not on the side of the original lair.
Because at the beginning, the silt in the world tree within the range of the mage tower in the lair, whether it was the light of life or the shadow energy, was attracted and digested.
What follows is the energy attracted under normal circumstances.
Unless it is the second world relying on the mage tower, it will continue to expand and expand its own influence.
Otherwise, within the same period of time, the attracted power will not change much.
This is what should be normal.
It is worth mentioning that it was the one thousand and one Ant-Man priests.
This was not intentionally created by the original ant queen, and when Xiao En edited the original ant queen, he didn't presuppose this unit.
They awakened themselves during the previous bloody battle with the Twisted Nightmare.
After the awakening of these Ant-Man priests, there is not much change in body shape. The awakened ant guards are still ant guards, the awakened soldier ants still look like soldier ants, and the flying ants are still flying ants.
The same thing is that after they awakened, they all mastered the ability to manipulate the light of life similar to life priests, and at the same time gained a lot of intelligence, and their learning ability naturally increased with the tide, and they have stepped into the ranks of intelligent life without compromise.
In this case, it is not appropriate to mix them with ordinary ants.
Regardless of their original origins, they were given a new title - Priestess of the Ant-Man, a name naturally related to their ability to manipulate the Light of Life.
These ant-man priests are the most suitable low-level officers and personnel, more suitable than life sacrifices.
Not to mention that the life priest in Emerald City was seconded by Xiao En, and he will return it sooner or later.
Just saying that they are very different from Ant-Man's appearance, they are very eye-catching in the Ant-Man army, and they are easily targeted for assassination.
As long as the ant-man priest does not use the special ability to control the light of life, it is difficult to distinguish him from ordinary ant soldiers.
As it stands, this awakening is clearly directed.
As long as the ant queens continue to produce ant soldiers at the beginning, and as long as the war continues, the ant-man priests will continue to awaken and produce them.
Take some time and teach them to build the mage tower.
In the future, Xiao En won't need to spend time and effort seconding the life priest from the Emerald City every time.
"Master Messenger, do you really need us to stay and assist you?" Milu, the senior life priest, asked again.
On the second day after suppressing and restraining the ancient shadow dragon, Xiao En arranged for the life priests of the Emerald City to return to the Emerald City.
"The biggest enemy here has been eliminated by us, and the rest is just finishing work. With the assistance of these Ant-Man priests, it is enough. Compared with my side, Emerald City needs you more." Sean smiled. Said, "You have helped me a lot, and I can no longer occupy your time. Compared with Emerald City, this place is not suitable for long-term living after all."
"The special envoy is too polite." Milu shook his head again and again, "We still need to thank the special envoy for giving us this opportunity. Without the special envoy, we would have no chance to see this fantastic and colorful new world, let alone the previous one. It is precisely because of the protection of special envoys that we are safer in the Great War."
"Let's not be courteous to each other here. If everything is ready, let's go on the road."
"With the flying ant mount assigned to us by the special envoy, we can fly to the Emerald City by ourselves. There is no need to waste your precious time. You should go about your own business!"
"I brought you out at the beginning, so I have the responsibility to send you back safely. It won't take long to go back and forth. The time we argued is enough for us to arrive."
"Then we will thank the special envoy in advance, thank you for your care and generosity."
"Why does a family need to speak two languages? There will be more places where you are needed in the future."
"If there is any need in the future, the special envoy is free to speak. We are always waiting for dispatch and will do our best."
"If necessary, I will contact you as soon as possible."
This time, Sean did not use the air transport warehouse to distribute and transport the life sacrifices.
That's a bit too time consuming to do.
Now that resources are relatively abundant, they have another faster way—these life priests return to Emerald City on the flying ant mounts assigned to them.
"What is the special envoy going to do? Are you going to escort us back to the Emerald City? Or are you going to start a war?"
"This kind of escort is too extravagant, right?"
"Master Special Envoy is not going to set off with this army, is he? Isn't this too motivating?"
When the life priests were assembled and joined Sean to return to the Emerald City, they were really shocked by the scene before them.
Abigail's ant soldiers were suspended behind Xiao En, with a total strength of no less than 20,000.
Is Sean planning to escort them back to the Emerald City? Still ready to fight?
"Everyone, do you remember that when I first arrived in Emerald City, you were being besieged by nightmares?" Sean asked without answering.
"It's true, the special envoy means..." Milu, the senior life priest, was thoughtful.
"Those Nightmare individuals are surprisingly similar, and they are likely to be mass-produced. I have reason to suspect that there is a Nightmare Lair around the Emerald City. Although the head of the Nightmare has been eliminated by me, there is no guarantee that there will be no new ones." Come on, in order to ensure the safety of Emerald City, I think it is necessary to conduct a detailed screening of the surrounding area to prevent unnecessary dangers." Xiao En analyzed clearly.
Anyway, the reason why Sean launched the war against Twisted Nightmare was to collect a large amount of law power quickly for later use.
As long as it is a twisted nightmare, there is no specific target.
Starting from the surrounding areas of the Emerald City, you can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it.
"The special envoy is still considerate. I am here to replace those citizens. Thank you, special envoy."
"Master Special Envoy is indeed the one chosen by Mother Tree, and he always thinks of us."
"Thank you, Mr. Special Envoy."
After hearing Xiao En's answer, all the life priests expressed their sincere gratitude one after another.
Under the guard of 20,000 heavy soldiers, the life priest who supported the initial construction of the lair embarked on the return journey in a mighty way.
The journey went smoothly, as long as they were not very unlucky and encountered violent plane fluctuations, under Xiao En's protection, they would not suffer too much loss.
As for Twisted Nightmare.
Once the two encounter each other, it is not Sean who should be afraid, but them.
Sean can't wait to meet those twisted nightmares of the establishment.
I believe that with his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter the unique and terrifying existence of the ancient shadow dragon, he will basically give them the power of law, the kind that can't escape even if he wants to.
And an existence like the ancient shadow dragon is not something that can be encountered just by thinking about it.
Along the way, they encountered two groups of nightmares, both of which were less than a thousand in number.
Before the army of ant soldiers had time to move out, they were dispersed and wiped out by the scouting regiment led by Guangming Jinhe.
Xiao En led the army of ant soldiers to the Emerald City this time, which inevitably caused another shock.
In the attitude towards Sean, both the top rulers and the bottom citizens have undergone slight changes.
Prior to this, Emerald City had given Sean great respect and cooperation.
It's just that this kind of respect is largely due to his special status and what he has done for Emerald City.
If you want to mobilize the citizens of Emerald City for your own use, you will largely have to rely on your reputation here.
It's different now, the military power in Sean's hands is real.
More importantly, it took him less than two weeks to go from being alone to being surrounded by a large army.
If you give him more time, you still don't know how to grow up.
This added a bit of awe to the respect.
What really made Sean's reputation reach its peak in Emerald City.
In addition to the flying ant mounts that the life priests rode back to the Emerald City, he also gave an additional three thousand newborn flying ants to the Emerald City as a gift for them to help him this time.
In order to enhance Emerald City's detection, defense and counterattack capabilities, and then face the attack of Twisted Nightmare, instead of blindly being passively beaten.
"Thanks to the generous gift of the Special Envoy. We really don't know how to repay the kindness of the Special Envoy. The Special Envoy has brought us too much, and we can repay the Special Envoy too little!" Words of gratitude.
Because she really didn't know how to repay this special envoy other than expressing gratitude in words.
"I heard from Priest Milu that the special envoy is going to wipe out the nightmares around the Emerald City. Is there anything we can do? This is something that is beneficial to the entire Emerald City, and we can't just sit back and enjoy it!" High Priest Devitt asked road.
"If you don't tell me, I'm going to make a request." Sean said straight to the point, "I really need your help on this matter."
"My lord special envoy needs us to do something, just say it." The city lord of Roxani looked pleasantly surprised.
Now she is not afraid that Xiao En will come to the door, but that he will always look like he has no desires for Emerald City.
Because the relationship between the two is normal only when it is needed.
Otherwise, Sean can leave them at any time and leave them. Whether he will come back in the future depends entirely on Sean's own mood.
"Don't be in a hurry to respond, just listen to my request first, because my request will make Emerald City bear a lot of risk." Sean vaccinated in advance.
"Master Special Envoy still needs to be so unreasonable? It's our honor to be able to take risks for Mr. Special Envoy. Mr. Messenger, don't worry about it. Just say what you need us to do." City Lord Roxani gave Sean a high degree of trust.
"Master Messenger, please tell us, let us listen." High Priest Dewitt said relatively steadily.
"If you want to completely wipe out the nightmares around the Emerald City, the biggest problem at present is to find them, especially those scattered and distorted nightmares. It will take a lot of time to find them out and eliminate them all. All that was lacking was time, so I came up with a reverse plan.
Since it is too time-consuming for us to actively search for twisted nightmares, why not let those nightmares come to us on their own initiative, then we can wait for work and kill them all! To avoid future troubles! "
"This is indeed a good strategy, but how do we make Nightmare act according to our wishes?" Lord Roxani pointed to the core of the problem.
"Mage Tower!" Now that this plan was proposed, Sean naturally came up with a perfect strategy, "We can use the Mage Tower to simulate the infrasound waves of the shadow masterminds, and send a summons to all the nightmares around the Emerald City, so that they will come to the Emerald City Assembling, just doing this will make the Emerald City take a lot of risks. If this directly exposes you to a large number of nightmares, especially our understanding of the density of nightmares around the Emerald City and whether there are huge nightmare lairs, it is not right. It’s especially unclear, once a nightmare beyond what we can deal with appears, it will bring disaster to the Emerald City.”
Sean shares his biggest fears.
"I think this method can be tried!" High Priest Devitt pondered for a few seconds and said, "If there were really such a powerful existence around the Emerald City, they would have come to the door long ago, and they would not wait until we took the initiative to attract them. What's more, the initiative of the Mage Tower is in our hands, and I believe that we can flexibly control the strength of the signal transmission, and the risks will be under control."
"What the high priest said makes sense. Only one of us and those nightmares is destined to survive. As long as they exist, they will come to the door sooner or later." The city lord of Roxani also said firmly, "We support this matter." Mr. Special Envoy, we are not taking risks for Mr. Special Envoy, but Mr. Special Envoy is taking risks for Emerald City, because you don’t need to do this at all, since Mr. Special Envoy is willing to take this risk, why do we refuse?”
The unequal information makes the two sides look at things very differently.
From Roxani's eyes, the reason why Xiao En did this was to help the Emerald City, to help the Emerald City to prevent future troubles.
As everyone knows, Xiao En is using the Emerald City as a bait to attract those nightmares, so that he can collect a large amount of law power.
Now that the Lord Roxani and the High Priest Devitt, the two directly in power of the Emerald City, have expressed their views, Sean has not put on a show. If he does not want to implement this plan, he does not need to raise it from the beginning.
