The black collar's gaze at Sean was very subtle, and it was obvious that it knew that there was a certain connection between the Thunder Golden Eagle and Sean, but it was not known if it was judged by the fluctuation of the power of the spell, or if it was a unique fluctuation of the soul.

The former may be larger, and the magic energy flowing in the body of the Thunder Golden Eagle has Sean's imprint, which is the same in this regard, while the latter is a bit mysterious and unpredictable, even a beast can hardly feel it.

The black collar didn't have so much anger, it was more like resentment and incomprehension, which made Sean feel a little guilty out of thin air, and had to turn his attention to the cattle that it had harmed, telling himself that this was a bear child, and even if he tamed it, he had to give it a taste of it.

The falconry operation was a complete success, and they took down nearly half of the Sonset Eagles that were hovering in the northern fortress, and the remaining Sonset Eagles were visibly frightened, and disappeared for a while, never to be seen again.

Sean didn't have the intention of sending the Thunder Golden Eagle to find trouble with them, relying on himself alone, the efficiency was too low, and he would digest the few Sonset Giant Eagles in his hands first.

After determining that there was no follow-up mission, McGee the Skullcrusher and Andes Tiger Rabindranath Tagore left the Northern Fortress and returned to their own legions.

Although the Eternal Night Warlord has suspended the military invasion of the Swamp of Despair and adopted a softer encroachment policy, all the top leaders of the Eternal Night Warlord know that if they want to eat the Swamp of Despair, they will need to fight sooner or later - with the Kingsley family.

Until then, the more they are prepared, the better.

In order to stimulate the soldiers' enthusiasm for training, the Eternal Night Army Leader is preparing for the second military exercise, at the corps level.

It is not known whether the enthusiasm of the other soldiers has been improved, but the enthusiasm of the three regiment commanders is very high, and they are gearing up one by one to start a crazy training, not only to win the championship of this military exercise, but also to win beautifully.

Sean stayed in the Northern Fortress for the time being, and the behavior of the black collar was indeed a bit strange, and he wanted to dig deeper to see if he could domesticate it.

To say that it is not coveted, it is absolutely fake.

Aside from the terrifying combat power displayed by the black collar, just talking about its huge size after mutation is the biggest advantage - carrying one or two people to the sky, it is absolutely fine.

Sean has now tasted air superiority and can't stop.

But the Thunder Eagle is too restrictive, and if there is an air mount, it can't be more perfect.

Not only can it save him a lot of travel time, but it can also be used perfectly with his soul beast card.

Sean's mind instantly surged through seven or eight tactical combinations.

But this is all useless fantasy, if you can't tame the black collar, everything is in vain.

Therefore, the first thing to transport the black collar back to the Northern Fortress, Sean personally went out to check his injuries, and if he got a flyless cripple back, even if he tamed it, his value would shrink a hundred times.

Although Tagore withdrew his hand at that time, the attack of the champion knight was still not so easy to withstand, and the knife entered the bone and broke directly.

If it falls on an ordinary bird, such an injury is enough to abolish it and lose its ability to fly forever.

But for the Ancient Beast, it is not enough to be fatal, as long as there are enough nutrients, it will not take long to heal as before, and now with the proper medical treatment of the Eternal Night Commander, it is not difficult to fully recover.

For the next period of time, Sean spent all his time in the Northern Fortress, cultivating a relationship with the black collar, while experimenting with the new use of the soul beast card and formulating the best tactics.

In this new usage, the vampire shadow vine, which originally looked very chicken, was given a new lease of life.

Vampire Shadow Vine such as Shadow Hunting Net, Shadow Vine Trap and other abilities, mostly belong to mysterious and unpredictable control skills, frontal attack ability, the food is deadly, although it is an active state, the movement speed is still very unsatisfactory, if it is used alone, it is really sparse, and before it reaches the destination, the energy will be exhausted.

But it's perfect as a support card, with various control abilities as an auxiliary attack, and among the five cards, it is listed in the first place, and even the small lightning of the Thunder Golden Eagle can't be compared.

The starting style of small lightning is too obvious, and the lightning is easy to be attracted and dispersed by iron, after many actual combat tests have shown that in the case of defense, the big knight can easily throw iron weapons to lead away the small thunder, let alone the champion knight.

The Vampire Shadow Vine is different, its ability is usually a silent shadow pattern, which is difficult to guard against.

The Shadow Eater Leopard uses the same ability, but the difference is that the Shadow Eater Leopard's shadow ability is biased towards supporting itself and making its whereabouts more secretive, while the Vampire Shadow Vine is biased towards control restrictions.

This is directly related to the hunting patterns of the two before their deaths, the deeper the research, the more Sean admires the power of making soul beast cards, and many seemingly meaningless things contain mysteries.

The relationship with the black collar has also entered a benign development.

Arnold's previous guess was not wrong, the black collar had been looking for the Thunder Golden Eagle.

As for what kind of emotions are contained in it, this is a little uncertain, after all, no matter how smart it is, the black collar is still a flying bird and does not have the ability to speak.

There is no way to measure the feelings of beasts with human feelings.

Anyway, when he sees the thunder golden eagle, the black collar will be in a very happy mood, and he is also very close to Sean.

It is enough to have one last point, as long as you are given a chance to approach, there is a way to think about it, and the most afraid that you will not even be given this kind of opportunity, that is the most troublesome situation.

Sean was also surprised to find that the return to the black collar had not yet been fully completed.

Since entering the Northern Fortress, it has been frantically absorbing magic energy, filling the thunder and lightning attributes in its wings little by little, as it absorbs more and more thunder and lightning, its wings are more translucent, and it is faintly similar to the Thunder Golden Eagle.

Seeing this situation, Sean thought for a moment, could it be that the black collar really regarded the Thunder Golden Eagle as an attribution of the same kind, and wanted to get more attribution revelation from it?

For this matter, Sean is willing to promote, after all, he has now seen the dawn of taming the black collar, and the stronger its strength, the stronger it will be after taming, the stronger the help it will get.

In this regard, the black collar is not as good as a human like Sean, and he tried all kinds of ways, and finally was surprised to find that the most helpful thing for him was the thunder and lightning baptism brought to it by the thunder golden eagle.

The baptism of thunder and lightning here is, of course, not a large-scale thunderstorm with full momentum, but a small thunderstorm.

Now the black collar's lightning resistance is even more terrifying, and there is no way to damage it with small lightning strikes, it will only make the lightning power in its wings more active, and then eat it together.

If this continues, the Eternal Night Leader will witness the appearance of a living, true Thunderbolt Golden Eagle.

Not only is Sean full of interest in this, but it has also become an important research topic for the Institute of Biological Anomaly, and it will be their first-hand account to record this process.

As time passed, the agreement between the Eternal Night Warlords and the Crocodiles began to ferment.

Naturally, the grain could not wait until the transit port was completed, and by that time, the crocodile people would have collapsed without a fight, which was not a good thing for the Eternal Night Commander.

It is most beneficial for the Eternal Night Leader to always keep the crocodiles in a position where they have a certain strength, but they are not strong and cannot be suppressed.

With shiploads of grain shipped into the Swamp of Despair, the reputation of the Eternal Night Warlord spread completely, including the claim that the two clans were one family three hundred years ago, and most of the crocodile people had a slight affection for the Eternal Night Warlord.

There is no doubt that this is naturally the credit of those Eternal Night Army Leader businessmen, the ** style of doing good deeds without leaving a name, in the game of the two forces, it is not easy to use, and it makes sense to advertise it widely and let everyone know.

In a river lake twenty-five kilometers downstream of the Grim Reaper's Waterway, the construction of a large port jointly built by the Eternal Night Army and the Crocodile began to break ground.

The Eternal Night's Relief Proposal to the Council of Elders is a tried-and-true cash-for-work model that is a win-win situation compared to simple relief.

And this new port, named Brother, is the biggest relief point.

There are also some more adventurous ones who embark on the road to work in the Eternal Night Commandery, and they will become the first rope in the bridge between the Eternal Night Commander and the Crocodile.

The Eternal Night Commander is confident in this.

Compared to the total encroachment of the Eternal Night Lord, Akmesser was a partial and drastic move, relying on the border cities of the Coalition of Criminals to build fortifications, apparently using this place as a bridge to enter the swamp of despair.

It is very much in line with the steady and steady style he has shown in the past, eating a piece and digesting a piece.

Then, relying on this, small forces attacked everywhere and uprooted the crocodile people on the west bank of the Danube before slowly digesting them.

The persecuted crocodiles had to move their defenses to the banks of the Danube, where the lakes and ponds, most of which are connected to the Danube, have a relatively slow receding water level, and still maintain a certain despair of swamps, somewhat of a geographical advantage.

The Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan was not reconciled, so they gave up their homeland and traded the first grain from the Eternal Night Leader, and those main battle factions began to move again, wanting to launch a military operation against the Kingsley family, and drive them out before they could gain a foothold.

It's just that the main battle faction lacks the leader of the former Great Elder Klein, and its attitude is not as tough as before, and its voice is not as strong as before, and it cannot overwhelm the conservatives.

Conservatives are not capitulationists, they do not advocate blind compromise, but they recognize reality more rationally.

There is a huge disparity between them and the Kingsley family in terms of equipment and military training, and before this situation changes, even if they try a hundred times, the result will be the same, and they have no better way than to fill it with their lives.

Although the crocodile people have blood and bravery, they don't use it like this.

If the Kingsley family invades on a large scale, and the entire crocodile people are facing the crisis of extinction, then naturally there is nothing to say, even if the last drop of blood is shed, they will have to fight each other to the death.

But it's clear that this isn't the case yet, and most importantly, because of the presence of the Eternal Night Lords, they now have more options.

This choice still refers not to accept the annexation idea of the Eternal Night Warlord, but to exchange more advanced equipment and better army training methods from them in exchange for benefits, fully arming their own people, and then going to war with the other side.

This idea is supported by many established and stable elders.

The Eternal Night Warlords are also supportive of this, and they need the Kingsley family and the crocodiles to be in a stalemate, not a one-sided slaughter.

Only when they enter a stalemate, and have no other choice, will they get closer and closer to the Eternal Night Commander, until they are inseparable, and the rest will be a matter of course.

Therefore, following the agreement on the joint construction of the military port and the agreement on free movement and labor export, the military leaders of the Eternal Night signed a military assistance agreement with the Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan.

After more than a month of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The Eternal Night Warlord has opened the right to sell military equipment and materials to the Crocodile.

The crocodiles, on the other hand, hired mid- and low-ranking officers from the Eternal Night to help them train the new army.

It seems that this military aid agreement is completely beneficial to the crocodile, and the Eternal Night Army Leader has not taken advantage of it at all.

In fact, the crocodile people have taken a considerable step forward, more than the sum of the first two rights.

Military power, but the foundation of a clan's foothold, if forced to do so, no one wants other forces to join their own army.

Use the mid- and low-ranking officers of the Eternal Night Army to train the new army, which is a clear way to allow the other party to mix sand into it.

But the Council of Elders of the Crocodile Clan has no other choice now, not to mention that if they don't agree to this condition, the Eternal Night Army Leader will not open the sale of military supplies to them at all, and they can't train any new army on their own, and they have powerful war equipment, and it will be useless if they can't use it.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.

Knowing this situation, the Council of Elders naturally would not allow the Eternal Night Army to infiltrate unlimitedly, and the size of the new army was only controlled at about 10,000 people, which was a compromise sample, and then they trained the army themselves.

It's just that with the same equipment and the same training methods, the army that was finally trained was uneven, which made those elders scratch their heads and couldn't figure it out.

At the end of the day, the cause is no longer on someone else, it's on them.

The army needs to pay attention to a purity, and when they imitate the methods of training the army of the Eternal Night Army, in order to avoid it, they change many things without authorization, and the effect is naturally greatly reduced.

Of course, compared to the rabble that gathered in a mess at the beginning, they now have the appearance of an army, and they will not appear to be seriously disjointed and broken by the enemy.

The march into the swamp of despair has become the top priority of the Kingsley family, and it is not as simple as laying 100,000 troops on the border.

It also starts from other aspects, in many ways.

The past year has been the busiest in Archduke Barker's life, maneuvering through various forces, not only to gain more support and allies for himself, but also to keep out the greedy.

The mutation of the Swamp of Despair, such a big thing, can't be covered.

Just as Archduke Buck predicted, when the Kingsley army brazenly marched into the Swamp of Despair, Princess Regent Sophilia immediately convened the Council of the Kingdom and demanded that Archduke Buck open the way and jointly develop the Swamp of Despair.

Archduke Buck regarded the Swamp of Despair as his own meal, and where would he agree, he flatly refused.

As a result, the economic sanctions imposed by the Lancelot royal family cut off all trade, including grain.

Other aristocratic families also sat on the ground and raised the price of food sold to the Kingsley family to the point of madness, and one by one made up their minds to take the opportunity to bite the Kingsley family.

It was not without a family that privately hinted to Archduke Buck that not only could the Kingsley family grain be sold, but also at an incredibly low price.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The real purpose hidden behind the low-priced grain is naturally on the swamp of despair, wanting to bite on this piece of fat cake.

This kind of family with wolf ambitions went directly to the blacklist of Grand Duke Buck.
