Chapter 877: Open Source and Reduce Expenditure
The best way to open source, of course, is war.
Especially if Sean has enough background now.
Regardless of the ancient shadow dragon, Sean's biggest gain from this war with him is that he has accumulated a powerful army of ant soldiers.
The original nest now has a total of 1,000 Ant-Man sacrifices, 8,000 elite ant guards, and 25,000 flying ants, all of whom are survivors of the bloody battle, and the number of one star is as high as 30 percent, 30 percent is between half a star and one star, and the remaining 40 percent is nearly half a star.
Elite ant guards and flying ants, there is no need to say more.
Both of them were originally spawned by the queen ant under special circumstances, using the ultra-fast hatching function and spending a lot of energy, that is, taking advantage of the power of the surrounding world trees, so that so many ant soldiers could be born in such a short period of time.
The number that was spawned at the beginning was three times that of this, and two-thirds of the ant soldiers died in the previous bloody battle.
This kind of good thing is only once.
At least not on the original lair side.
Because the original Nest Mage Tower shrouded the World Tree in the area, whether it was the light of life or the shadow energy, they were all attracted and digested.
And then there's the energy that is normally attracted.
Unless it's a second world that relies on the Mage Tower, it keeps expanding and expanding its influence.
Otherwise, the attracted force will not change much in the same time.
That's how it should be.
It is worth mentioning that it was the one thousand and one Ant-Man sacrifices.
This was not intentionally born by the original queen ant, and Sean did not preset this class when he edited the original queen ant.
They were self-awakened in the course of their previous bloody battle with the Twisted Nightmare.
After these ant-man sacrifices awakened, there was not much change in body size, the ant guards awakened were still ant guards, the soldier ants were awakened and the soldier ants were still in the form of soldier ants, and the flying ants were still flying ants.
In the same way, after they awakened, they all mastered the ability to manipulate the light of life similar to the life sacrifice, and at the same time gained a lot of intelligence, and their learning ability naturally rose with the tide, and they entered the ranks of intelligent life to the letter.
In this case, it would not be appropriate to mix them with ordinary ant people.
Regardless of their origins, they have all received a new title, the Ant-Man Sacrifice, which is naturally related to their ability to manipulate the light of life.
These Ant-Man sacrifices are the most suitable low-level officers, more suitable than life sacrifices.
Let's not mention that the life sacrifice in Emerald City was seconded by Sean, and it will be returned 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 easy to be targeted assassinated.
As long as the Ant-Man Sacrifice does not use the special ability to manipulate the light of life, it is difficult to distinguish it from ordinary Antsoldiers.
As things stand, this awakening is clearly directional.
As long as the initial queen ant is still producing a steady stream of ant soldiers, as long as the war continues, the ant-man sacrifice will continue to awaken and produce.
After a while, I taught them how to build the Mage Tower.
In the future, Sean will not have to spend time and effort on seconding life sacrifices from Emerald City every time.
"Emissary, you really don't need us to stay and assist you?" asked High Life Priest Milu again.
The day after the ancient shadow dragon was suppressed and bound, Sean arranged for the priests of life in Emerald City to return to Emerald City.
"The biggest enemy here has been eliminated by us, and all that remains is the tail sweeping work, with the assistance of these Ant-Man sacrifices, it is enough, compared to my side, the Emerald City side needs you more. Sean smiled and said, "You've helped me a lot, I can't continue to occupy your time, compared to the Emerald City, this place is not suitable for a long time after all." ”
"The envoy is too polite. Milu shook his head again and again, "We also need to thank the envoy for giving us this opportunity, without the envoy, we would not have had the opportunity to see this fantastic and colorful new world, let alone the previous great war, it is precisely because of the envoy's protection that we are safer." ”
"Let's not be polite to each other here, and when we're all ready, let's go on our way. ”
"With the flying ant mounts assigned to us by the envoy, we will be able to fly to the Emerald City on our own, so there is no need to delay your precious time, you should go about your own business!"
"I brought you out in the first place, and it is my responsibility to send you back safely, and it won't take long to go back and forth, and the time for us to argue is enough for us to arrive. ”
"Then we have thanked the envoy in advance, thank you for your love and generosity. ”
"Why do you have to talk to two families, there will be more places where you need to go in the future. ”
"If there is any need in the future, please open your mouth, and we will be ready to dispatch and do our best. ”
"If there is a need, I will contact you as soon as possible. ”
This time, Sean did not use the air transport warehouse to distribute and transport life sacrifices.
Then it's a bit too time-consuming to do.
Now that resources are relatively abundant, they have another quicker way to return to the Emerald City with the Flying Ant Mounts assigned to them by these Life Sacrifice Rides.
"What is the envoy going to do, is he going to escort us back to the Emerald City, or is he going to war?"
"This kind of escort is too extravagant, isn't it?"
"The envoy isn't going to set off with this army, is he?
When those life sacrifices were assembled, they met with Sean and prepared to return to the Emerald City, they were really shocked by the scene in front of them.
Behind Sean was the black-pressed Abigail ant soldiers, with a total strength of no less than 20,000.
Is Sean going to escort them back to the Emerald City, or is he going to war?
"Do you remember when I first arrived in the Emerald City, you were under siege by Nightmares?" Sean asked.
"That's true, the envoy means......" The High Life Sacrifice Milu thought thoughtfully.
"Those nightmare individuals are strikingly similar, and it is very likely to be mass-produced, I have reason to suspect that there is a nightmare lair around the Emerald City, although the leader of that nightmare has been eliminated by me, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no new ones, in order to ensure the safety of the Emerald City, I think it is necessary to screen the surrounding area in detail to prevent unnecessary dangers. Sean analyzed it in a coherent manner.
Anyway, the reason why Sean started the war against the Twisted Nightmare was to collect the power of the law in large quantities and quickly, so that it could be used later.
As long as it's a twisted nightmare, it doesn't have a specific goal.
Start around the Emerald City and kill two birds with one stone, so why not.
"It's still the Special Envoy's thoughtfulness, I'm here to replace the citizens, thank you, Your Excellency. ”
"The envoy is worthy of being the chosen person of the Mother Tree, and we are always thinking about it. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
After hearing Sean's answer, all the life sacrificers sent their heartfelt gratitude.
Under the guard of 20,000 heavy soldiers, the life sacrifice that supported the construction of the original lair embarked on the road back.
The journey can be called smooth, as long as they are not very unlucky, in the event of violent plane fluctuations, under the protection of Sean, they will not suffer too much loss.
As for the Twisted Nightmare.
Once the two meet, it is not Sean who should be afraid, but them.
Sean is still longing for those established twisted nightmares.
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 is basically the one who sends them the power of the law, and he can't run if he wants to.
And an existence like the Ancient Shadow Dragon is not something that can be encountered if you want to.
Along the way, they encountered two waves of nightmares, both of which numbered no more than a thousand.
Before the ant army could be dispatched, it was dispersed and wiped out by the scout corps led by the Bright Golden Crane.
Sean led the army of ant soldiers to Emerald City this time, which caused another shock.
In terms of attitude towards Sean, both the top ruler and the bottom citizen have undergone subtle changes.
Before this, Emerald City had given Sean great respect and cooperation.
It's just that this respect is largely due to his special identity and what he has done for the Emerald City.
If you want to mobilize the citizens of the Emerald City for your own use, you will largely rely on your own prestige here.
Now it's different, Sean's military power in his hands is real.
What's more, it took him less than two weeks to go from being alone to having a heavy army.
If you give him more time, I don't know what it will become.
This adds a bit of awe to the respect.
What really made Sean's prestige peak in the Emerald City was.
In addition to the flying ant mounts that the Life Sacrifice rode back to Emerald City, he also gave an additional 3,000 newborn flying ants to Emerald City as a gift for them to help him this time.
In order to enhance the Emerald City's reconnaissance and defense counterattack capabilities, and then face the attack of the twisted nightmare, it is not blindly passively beaten.
"Thank you for the generous gift of the envoy, we really don't know how to repay the kindness of the envoy, the envoy has brought us too much, too little can we give back to the envoy!" the city lord of Loxani kept saying words of gratitude.
Because she really didn't know how to repay the envoy except for her verbal gratitude.
"I've heard from Milou Priest that the envoy is preparing to clean up the Nightmares around Emerald City, is there anything we can do? It's something that's good for the whole of Emerald City, and we can't sit back and enjoy it!" asked High Priest DeWitt as he spoke.
"If you don't say it, I'm ready to make a request. Sean got straight to the point, "I really need your help in this matter." ”
"What does the envoy need us to do, just say. The Lord of Loxani looked surprised.
She is not afraid of Sean begging for the door now, but afraid that he will always look like he has no desire 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 in the future or not depends entirely on Sean's own mood.
"Don't be in a hurry to agree, listen to my request first, because my request will make Emerald City bear a lot of risk. "Sean gets vaccinated in advance.
"It is our honor that we can take risks for the Special Envoy, and the Envoy should not hesitate to do what he needs us to do, just say. "The Lord of Loxani has given Sean a high degree of trust.
"Your Excellency, let us hear it. "High Priest DeWitt said relatively steadily.
"If you want to completely eradicate the nightmares around the Emerald City, the biggest problem at the moment is to find them, especially those more scattered and distorted nightmares, if you want to find them out and destroy them all, it will take a lot of time, and what I lack most now is time, so I thought of a reverse plan.
Since it's a waste of time for us to actively search for twisted nightmares, why don't we let those nightmares come to us on our own initiative, and then we can wait for us to kill them all!"
"It's a good plan, but how do we get Nightmare to do what we want?" the Lord of Loxani got to the heart of the matter.
"Mage Tower!" "Since this plan has been proposed, Sean has naturally come up with a perfect strategy," We can simulate the infrasound waves of those shadow masterminds through the Mage Tower, and issue a summoning order to all the nightmares around the Emerald City, so that they can assemble in the Emerald City, but doing so will put the Emerald City at great risk, if you are directly exposed to a large number of nightmares, especially if we are not particularly unclear about the density of the nightmares around the Emerald City, and whether there are huge nightmare nests, once there are nightmares beyond what we can deal with, it will bring ruin to the Emerald City. ”
Sean voiced his biggest concern.
"I think this method can be tried!" High Priest Devit muttered for a few seconds, "If there is really such a powerful existence around the Emerald City, it will come to the door a long time ago, and it will not wait for us to take the initiative to attract it, not to mention, the initiative of the Mage Tower is in our hands, I believe that the strength of the signal can be flexibly controlled, and the risk will be controlled." ”
"The High Priest has a point, we and those nightmares are destined to have only one to survive, and as long as they exist, they will come to the door sooner or later. The City Lord of Loxani also said with a firm face, "In this matter, we support the envoy, we are not taking a risk for the envoy, but the envoy is taking a risk for the Emerald City, because you don't need to do this at all, since the envoy is willing to take this risk, what reason do we have to refuse?"
The asymmetry of information makes the two sides look at things that are very different.
In the eyes of the city lord of Loxani, the reason why Sean did this was to help the Emerald City and help the Emerald City to prevent future troubles.
As everyone knows, Sean is using the Emerald City as bait to attract those nightmares to take the bait, so that he can collect a large amount of the power of the law.
Since the City Lord of Loxani and the High Priest of DeWitt, the two direct authorities in Emerald City, had already expressed their positions, Sean did not act coyly, and if he didn't want to implement this plan, he didn't need to bring it up from the beginning.
