To be honest, in the Byron League, the status of the baron is really pitiful.

In many places, at best, the owner of a castle, or an obscure mayor.

But when this baron, sitting on a territory of nearly 1,000 kilometers, millions of people, and nearly 100,000 troops, everything is different, especially when the other party also monopolizes the trade in the upper reaches of the Jacob River, and has a close relationship with the most powerful woman in the world, the nature is a little different.

To put it bluntly, Sean is the most powerful and influential baron in the history of the Byron League.

In less than a year, his fame has spread all over Ashaan, although most of them are nouveau riche, barons from the mountains, this kind of insulting infamy is the majority, but a negative reputation is also a reputation, isn't it?

As for how much envy, jealousy and hatred they have in their hearts when they scold the nouveau riche, and how much they want to be such an upstart, it is unknown.

The other party really has the ability to rely on this kind of influence to make the reputation of the Kingsley family stinky, and then give people who have a heart the opportunity to play on the topic.

"You lied to me. Kleist was also a weathered old fox, and immediately reacted, "If the four great elders of the crocodile clan really swore allegiance to Baron Sean, why did you bother to reorganize the army?"

"Isn't it normal for the army to be reorganized? Do you think we will see that the crocodile people's original army composition model is not successful? They are just a drag on us, and it is with the cooperation of the four great elders that the army reorganization is so smooth. Bryan smiled defiantly, "I don't believe you can try, but you will have to bear all the consequences! The reputation we have built up among the crocodiles in the Eternal Night is enough, and having 20,000 civilians is just the icing on the cake, and when the time comes, will you see if they hate you butchers, or are we people who have tried their best to maneuver but have not succeeded?"

Sir Kleist fell silent for a long time, and the initial confrontation ended in defeat, as he was now somewhat unsure of the true situation between the Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodiles.

If it is true, as Brian said, the Eternal Night Army Leader has quietly completed the annexation of the Crocodile, and the reputation of the Eternal Night Army Leader among the Crocodile Tribes is not so important.

"I can't do this matter, I need to go back and ask for advice. "Sir Kleist chose to delay the battle.

"I hope you can make a decision soon, we can afford to wait, those civilians can't afford to wait, if they all die, it will be worthless. There was an endless coldness in Brann's flat words, as if he was not talking about 20,000 living lives, but a batch of commodities, the kind that didn't matter.

As for whether this is a true reflection of his heart, or is it deliberately expressed?

Kleist didn't dare to speculate, they seemed to be one step behind in this confrontation, arched their hands, and hurriedly withdrew with their own people.

A day later.

The Kingsley family sent news again, but this time asking for a direct meeting between the top leaders of both sides.

For this request, Brann also had no way to make up his own mind, and asked to see Lord Sean as soon as possible.

But it's been two days since I met Sean.

It's not that Sean doesn't pay attention to this matter, it's that he himself is not on the flagship, but is conducting reconnaissance over the territory of the Crane tribe.

Now, the Crane tribe has become the greatest threat to the Eternal Night Warlord's rule over the Swamp of Despair.

The Kingsley family's expeditionary army has been eaten to death by them, but the Klein tribe is in a state of uncontrolled uncertainty.

So far, they haven't been able to fully understand the bottom of the Crane tribe.

Just like the large-scale beast reappearance caused by the Law Tower, there is no way for ordinary soldiers to infiltrate the Klein tribe to investigate the internal situation, not even the most experienced Hawkeye.

Because there are no more people in the ordinary sense here.

The condition of the Crane tribe was the worst of Shaun's speculation.

The entire Klein tribe, men, women, and children, has been semi-undead, and the further they go into the territory, the more serious the undead becomes.

The Klein soldiers they had seen on the Danube before were all in relatively good condition, at most they were half human and half ghost.

The people of the Klein tribe in the core area have basically departed from the image of people, not only the muscles are more explosive, but the bones are actually outward, the kind that is very close-fitting, like a skeleton monster with bones, like the legendary skeleton soldiers.

But don't equate it with the low-level cannon fodder that blows the wind and it is more appropriate to describe them as skeletal armored soldiers, which have more defense than heavy armor.

However, it has the advantages of heavy armor - it is lightweight, and it is truly tailor-made.

The other is the strong anti-electric ability.

The reason why Sean is so clear is, of course, the result of his own experiment.

The Thunder Golden Eagle can even hit the champion knight with heavy thunder, barely able to kill a skeletal armored soldier.

But the result of this is like stabbing a hornet's nest.

Countless skeletal armored soldiers and half-undead Crane tribe soldiers came out of unknown corners, and even Shaun, who was flying in the air, chased after him for a while.

There were hundreds of skeletal armored soldiers that were drawn out that time.

Sean also saw the man-ant tactics again, countless skeleton armored soldiers, ants crossing a river, piled up one by one, trying to build a ladder to the sky, dragging Sean and the black collar from the air.

Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it's so shocking every time, and then it's endless horror, the one that is numb from the heel to the scalp, I really can't figure it out, how on earth did they do it?

However, this is not the biggest receipt of Sean's trip.

At first, Sean plans to capture a skeletal armored soldier alive and return for dissecting research, until he discovers a more valuable target, the Skeletal Armored Knight.

These skeletal knights were not horses, but crocodiles, the crocodiles' soon-to-be-forgotten combat hunting companions.

As the mutation of the Swamp environment intensifies, the war crocodile becomes less and less useful.

Especially in large-scale wars, they are rarely seen.

The only thing that seemed to play a role was in the moat of the Brotherly Port Defense, but as winter fell, they were largely withdrawn from the battlefield.

War beasts and such things.

It can't be said that it is useless at all, but once it is large enough to a certain extent, it will play an unexpected role in some battles.

For example, the armor of the war bear can break the formation and break the shield, such as the Andes Tiger's ability to deter and intimidate against the cavalry, and then the ability to charge when the Kore beast gathers into a herd.

Just as their outstanding strengths are significant, so are their flaws.

In the past, it was their IQ that restricted the common use of war beasts, even after rigorous training, it was difficult to adapt to the complex battlefield, especially after seeing blood, many beasts either retreated or went berserk.

This problem was solved in the Eternal Night Army Leader because the beast returned to the ancient times and his IQ increased.

But this only makes small-scale application of War Beasts possible, and large-scale use is still difficult.

The omnivorous war beasts such as Kore Beasts and Armored War Bears are better to say.

The most troublesome thing is that Andes Tigers are pure carnivorous animals, and the financial and material resources required to keep them in captivity are more than 300 times that of elite war horses, and 50 times that of Kore beasts and armored war bears.

How to choose is self-explanatory.

The Armored War Bear and Kore Beast can become the war beasts in their own right, but the Andes Tiger can only become the mount of mid-to-high-ranking officers and be dispatched in special battles.

As a pure carnivorous animal, the war crocodile used to rely on the vast waters of the Desperate Swamp, semi-automatic hunting and semi-artificial captivity, and there is still a large number of existence bases.

Now they can only withdraw from the life of the crocodile people on a large scale, even if in the training base of the Eternal Night Army Leader, the ancient war crocodile has been reborn, and it is somewhat similar to the legendary Earth Walking Dragon, but in the process of adapting the Dawn Group Army, it still did not consider using it on a large scale.

The crocodile mount of the Skeleton Armored Knight has no such shortcomings.

Because these war crocodiles are no longer pure, not only have they become larger, but they also have serious external skeletons on their bodies.

This means that it is just like those undead crocodiles, the materialized magic energy flowing in the bloodline can provide them with their basic needs, and there is basically no demand for food and the like, so naturally it no longer has logistical supply pressure.

After these war crocodiles were undead, their appearance changed quite a lot, no longer flat and short, but became more majestic than war horses, if it weren't for the fact that their heads didn't change much, they almost failed to connect them with war crocodiles, and the direction of change was more perfect with the skeleton armored knight.

The war crocodile mounts that have become like this have obviously lost their ability to swim, and their ability to run on land has improved.

This discovery made the situation in the Klein tribal territory immediately soar several notches.

The history of the crocodile people in captivity is a long time, which family does not keep two or three in captivity, as a fishing aid, plus wild war crocodiles, the overall number is only a lot more than the crocodile.

The most important thing is the deep meaning of the undead of the war crocodile, which can happen to all living creatures here.

Sean hasn't found it during the investigation for the time being, which doesn't mean that there isn't.

He'd been wandering around the Klein Tribal territory several times before, and at first he hadn't found the Skeleton Armed Soldier and the Skeleton Armed Knight?

Sean finally rode alone, and in a short period of time, the scope of investigation was relatively limited.

As the Eternal Night Warlord grew, there were more and more things that he needed to deal with personally, and there was no way for him to devote a lot of time to scouting and drawing a high-altitude aerial view like he had done at the beginning.

This situation will only get worse and worse, and if the flying team of the Eternal Night Army wants to grow, it will take a period of tempering and accumulation.

The entire Klein tribe soldiers are very good at hiding their tracks, not only do they look very much like the dead, but many of them also behave like the dead, and when they stand silently in the shadows, it is not ordinarily difficult to find them.

Many of these undead Crane soldiers seem to like to soak themselves in pools or swamps, in which case they can't be found without revealing their whereabouts.

Although they are not afraid of the sun, they also do not like it very much.

When the sun is scorching, it is difficult to detect them.

When the bright moon shines, they will come out silently, looking up at the moon with a pair of ghostly eyes.

Sean has found the heartland of the Crane tribe.

It didn't take much time, and it was already found during the first high-altitude reconnaissance.

The results of the autopsy of the Eternal Night Warlord revealed that the mutation in the bodies of the Crane Tribe soldiers was caused by the infusion of magical energy.

According to this, Sean has a purpose, chasing the abnormal fluctuations of spell energy, and it is naturally easy to find the destination.

The vast fluctuation of the spell, even if it was dozens of miles away, could clearly feel that it was only stronger than the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress.

This also confirmed the inference of the Eternal Night Commander, and it was confirmed that the abnormalities on the soldiers of the Crane tribe were related to the magic energy.

It's also spell energy.

There is a huge difference between the magic energy that comes out of the Klein tribe and that of the Eternal Night Army leading the Northern Fortress Law Energy Reaction Chamber.

The magic energy of the energy reactor chamber is non-attributed, and it can also be called a mixed attribute.

And what comes out of the territory of the Crane tribe is biased towards the dark attribute, which is the same as that of the soldiers of the Crane tribe, and it is quite recognizable.

The suffocating breath of death came to the face.

Before this, Sean had never known that death could be directly perceived.

Unfortunately, how the abyss-like aura of death was formed, Sean did not find out.

That area had been completely filled with this magical energy that exuded the aura of death, forming a black mist with a diameter of more than several kilometers, like a semicircular lid, enveloping it, including the air, even when the sun was scorching, it would not dissipate.

With a visual distance of no more than ten meters, Sean wisely retreated.

In that case, the chance of being able to explore the root of the Klein tribe's mutation is very small, and there is a high chance that you will put your own life into it.

Heroism is unacceptable, and it is a matter of saving the world by oneself.

It's not that there isn't.

There are less likely poor people in reality, and more in biographies.

Sean didn't think that destroying the source would allow all of these undead Klein tribe soldiers to die silently, nor did he think he could do it alone.

Anything that has to do with magical energy becomes abnormal.

A pair of golden armor with plenty of energy can make Axmater invincible, and the dragonskewreck battleship full of energy can crisscross back and forth like an unsinkable battleship.

The magic power here is far more vast than these two show.

Even if all the black powder cluster bombs airlifted with black collars were replaced with gem bombs, they would not pose much of a threat to them.

Its only role is to provide direction for Sean's subsequent reconnaissance, and most of the time revolves around this core area.

The Skeleton Armor Soldiers and Skeleton Armor Knights are found around the Core.

According to the observations during this time, Sean still summed up a few more regular things.

The first point is the distribution of personnel, the closer to the core, the more undead the Klein soldiers become.

This should have a direct relationship with that death spell energy.

The closer you get to the core, the richer the death spell energy in the air, and the more this energy you usually absorb, the more serious the undead characteristics on your body will be.

This reason is related to the fact that the attritocratic beast is close to the energy reaction chamber, and the faster the rejuvenating speed, a reason.

The second point is that these undead Klein soldiers are not squatting in the same position motionless.

They seem to have their own mechanism of operation, and there will always be a part of the undead Klein soldiers who will go on patrol and safari in a unit of time.

In the process, Sean did not meet anyone who passed on the order, but the connection was exceptionally perfect, without the slightest loophole.

For this reason, Sean highly suspects that there is a very likely existence similar to the Tower of Law in that mysterious core area, which can remotely command these undead Crane soldiers.

The undead Crane soldiers' safari targets the non-undead creatures that have strayed in, usually by catching them alive.

Whether they are dead or alive, they will be dragged to the core area,

Needless to say, they are definitely ready to convert them into their own kind.
