Chapter 18: Tyrant of the Wetlands

"And what do you need me to do for you?"

Levi asked rhetorically.

Moto said, "Your ability to destroy the undead and free the Fishmen from slavery will be the greatest help to me." ”

Levi smiled and said, "That's not easy, how many people have died on this road on the island, I'm afraid I can't help you." ”

"Those who have a righteous heart will always work miracles."

Moto replied with a serious expression.

Levi was speechless for a moment.

He pondered silently for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I promised you to destroy the undead and save the enslaved fishmen, but I can't guarantee success, what other help can you give me?" ”

"If you just say yes."

Moto smiled with relief, and then his chest lit up, and then his entire form shrank rapidly, until it turned into a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a marble, and his voice echoed in the air.

"This crystal has the power of my bloodline, it can suppress the evil aura that belongs to the undead in the fish-man's body, and make good use of it......"

As the words fell, Moto had completely disappeared.

Levi took the crystal in his hand and was about to check the attributes, when his expression suddenly changed, and he noticed something unusual.

What about the task?

Such an important commission, but not a task?

Levi was ready to trigger the hidden mission.

What he said earlier was to hope that the punishment of the mission would be reduced, after all, this was already the ultimate existence on this island, and he could not guarantee that it would be completed.

Is it just a verbal commission?

Or is it ......

"Hopefully, it's just that I'm thinking things too complicated."

Levi muttered, looking at the crystal.

【Mermaid Spirit】

【Treasures】

[Description: The essence that condenses the blood power of the Naga clan and obtains the recruitment permission of the fish-man clan after use]

[Need: Consume one merman's tears for each use]

……

Looking at the description, it seems to be a remarkable thing.

As an academic, Levi could only recruit mercenaries from the Templars, Academy, and Elves factions, which were also in the Light faction.

The fish-people belong to the neutral camp sea creatures, and only when they get this special treasure will they have access to recruitment.

There is no doubt that such treasures are quite precious.

In particular, the merman spirit is still a permanent prop, and its value is even higher than the village building blueprint!

How easy it was to get it?

It turns out that there is really a pie in the sky!

Levi couldn't wait to find a fishman's nest, and after knocking it out, he got a merman's tear, he found a lone fishman, and immediately took out the merman's spirit and chose to use it.

"Hint: Do you want to recruit mercenaries - fishmen?"

"Sure!"

The moment Levi made his decision, the two props in his hand suddenly floated out of thin air.

A ray of light then shot out from the spirit and enveloped the merman's tears, only to see the tears gradually disappear in the light, making this light full of misty breath, and then projected at the fish man!

"Gala......

The fish-man shuddered violently, and a burst of red light erupted in his eyes, before quickly disappearing.

The name above its head instantly turned a friendly green.

"Hint: Successfully recruit mercenaries - Fishman Guards!"

【Fishman Guard】

【Ocean】

[Level: Second Order]

[HP: 510]

[Mana: 220]

[Attack: 50-55]

[Defense: 40]

[Loyalty: 35]

[Skill: Thunder Gun, Fishman Dash, Swing Vigorously]

[Thunder Gun: Active, consume 20 mana, condense a thunder gun and throw it, causing 50 fixed lightning damage to the enemy and paralyzing it for three seconds]

[Fishman Dash: Active, consumes 50 mana, the Fishman Guard accelerates and sprints forward, dealing 30 physical damage to enemies in front of him, with a knockback effect, and an additional increase in aggro value]

[Powerful Swing: Active, consumes 50 mana, the fishman guard swings his spear violently, dealing 60 damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area in front of him, with a knockback effect, and an additional increase in aggro value]

[Talent: Thick skin, like walking on the ground]

[Thick Skin: Passive, Defense Permanent +10]

[Walking on the ground: passive, can walk freely in swampy terrain]

……

After being recruited, the strength of the fishman directly rose to a higher level, and it completely became the attribute template of the second-order mercenary.

Even the shape has changed a lot.

Originally, the fifteenth-level fish-man was not equipped, and the only way to attack was to spray mud, but now the fish-man guard not only has a second-order equipment, but also has three new skills!

Two Hate Skills, One Output Skill!

And all three skills have control effects, this fish-man guard is simply a natural tank!

To say the only drawback,

It's just that this loyalty is a bit too low......

The first-order mercenaries and sea eagles recruited by Levi before were all 100 full of loyalty and would never mutiny, but this fish-man was only 35 loyal, and once it was below 30, there was a chance of defection at any time!

"It should be a relationship between different camps......

Levi thought to himself.

He doesn't have a solution at the moment.

There are only two ways to increase the loyalty of mercenaries, one is to give them to use treasures that can increase their strength, such as rune words.

Second, after the village is built, it is equally difficult to build their respective faith totems for the mercenaries.

Now that's all we can do for now.

……

With the spirit of a merman, Levi is no longer focused on the north.

Instead, he led the team to start a sweep through the swamp to search for more mermaid tears to come out.

Soon, his team grew to 13 units.

Of the five first-order mercenaries, the militia had been replaced, and Levi was left with only three hunters, after all, they were still ranged units, and they could work wonders in some cases.

And the remaining ten units have all become fishman guards!

This line is mighty, and Levi is no longer afraid of the lord monster who has lost the way to defend the passage, and leads the team straight to the depths of the swamp!

Gradually, Levi noticed that his surroundings began to change, the strange black trees became sparse, the swamp under his feet was no longer covered with fallen leaves, and the churning mud took on a strange purple color.

The sky was still shrouded in turquoise miasma, and the whole area was eerily quiet, and Levi could only hear the footsteps of his own group, and the cracking of mud bubbles that poured up from time to time in the swamp.

- Smack.

The sound exploded in his ears again, and Levi suddenly felt the swamp under his feet begin to surge violently!

It's like a pot of boiling water, and from time to time a huge mud bubble more than half a meter high bulges on the ground, and it bursts with a bang, and you can see the fleeting dark purple object in it!

What is that......!

Levi was shocked by the sudden change, and he hurriedly commanded the team to evacuate from the place, but there was still a fish-man guard who couldn't escape and was swallowed by the sudden surging mud!

"Hint: Your mercenary is dead!"

Spike!

The fishman guard with more than 500 blood was directly killed in seconds?!

"Boom!"

The surging mud wave covered the surrounding area of fifty yards, soared dozens of meters into the sky, and then smashed to the ground!

A terrifying purple figure appeared in the mud waves!
