Although the red-crowned spirit lizard sacrifice did not specify the location, but only said a general direction and distance, Levi still easily found the place he said, because the group of lizardmen moved in the swamp, and they couldn't hide their whereabouts at all, and they didn't seem to have this intention, so following their footprints, Levi came to a rather primitive village ruins.

That's right, a ruin, a site that's still burning.

Levi could roughly see that this was originally a small and medium-sized village made of stone and wood, and that at least six or seven hundred swamp people could provide simple buildings for survival and reproduction, and the scale of the swamp people here was even larger than Levi had expected.

But now, there are traces of flames and lightning strikes everywhere. However, the most is the foul blood that is unique to the swamp people on the ground, but Levi has not seen too many complete corpses of the swamp people, most of them are broken, or directly cut into several pieces, and the number is far from Levi's estimate.

Thinking of the previous behavior of those lizardmen, Levi could almost conclude that the corpses of these swamp lizardmen were definitely not refreshed by the system, but were consciously taken away by the lizardmen!

But Levi was even more puzzled, what were they doing with taking away the corpses of the swamp people who were not very damaged?

Levi immediately dismissed the possibility of the lizardmen using the carcasses of the swamp people as food, because the lizardmen were definitely not that savage, and they were not that poor.

Because Levi had noticed before, even the most basic red-crowned lizardman warriors, they all had some ornaments made of pure gold, and the more powerful lizardman warrior leader, the armbands and belts on his body were completely golden, absolutely 100% pure gold, just take one and sell it, it would be enough for them to buy a lot of supplies, maybe...

Seeing that Wallace had consciously directed the other soldiers to search for information here, Levi turned to look at the Moorish knight Tanato, who was on guard beside him.

"Tanato, how much do you know about lizardmen?"

"Ah, my lord, I know that the lizardmen claim to be servants of the ancient saints who founded this world, and are the keepers of order. However, they usually stay in the distant continent of Lustria. In fact, we rarely see traces of them in the Old World. ”

"The Old World? Lustria? ”

This is not the first time Levi has heard the word "Old World", but for various reasons, he has not been able to fully understand the meaning of the Old World, and maybe this is a good opportunity.

Seeing Levi's look of interest, the Moorish knight Tanato, immediately began to tell Levi with great eyes.

"My lord, generally speaking, the world of Majas is divided into two large regions: the Old World and the New World. The Old World is our continent, the most ethnically dense place, roughly in the northeastern part of the world of Marjans, but not the easternmost part. ”

"The three largest kingdoms of mankind in the Old World are the knightly kingdom of Bretonia, which is located in the southwest of the Old World continent and borders the vast ocean, which is our country;

Located in the center, it has a vast territory, and uses steel, faith, and magic at the same time to use its army, and although it is the land of four wars, it is also the most extensive and powerful empire among the human race;

Then there is Kislev, a land of ice and snow ruled by a tsar in the northern tundra. ”

"These three countries are the most important countries of the human race, and the other Arabi, the southern kingdoms, and the dogs of war are much weaker. And in the mountains, underground, and jungles around several countries, there are a large number of other races hidden, not only the ancient alliance of human beings, the dwarves, but also many more evil races. ”

"As for the lizardmen, their territory is located in a new world outside the old world, on the distant continent of Lustchia, where they are constantly at war with evil races such as Skaven, Beastmen, Dark Elves, and Norscan Pirates, and rarely appear in other regions, so I am very confused."

Having said so much in one breath, the Moorish knight Tanato, who also paused slightly and took a breath.

While he was resting, Levi said thoughtfully as he digested the information he had gotten, "So, Tanato, what do you think the lizardmen would do with the complete corpse of the swamp people?" ”

The Moorish knight Tanato, after a moment's thought, said categorically, "My lord, I think they are used for sacrifice. ”

"Sacrifice? But to whom will it be sacrificed? ”

In fact, this answer was not too surprising to Levi, because most of the possibilities were removed, and there were only so many left.

Levi knew that the lizardmen were the servants of the Old Sage, but the Old Sage was the creator god of the war world Marjans, would they accept such a bloody sacrifice? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

Because no matter how you think about it, according to Levi's conjecture, to be able to create so many races that are either righteous or evil, and to make them all develop a variety of cultures, such ancient saints, they should not have a particularly obvious concept of good and evil, and they are unlikely to need or like such primitive rituals. Because they can always create more of their own if they want to.

The Moorish knight Tanato, however, seemed to have an eyebrow at this, and he organized his words a little: "My lord, I don't know if you noticed, those kearliads have a red sail on the top of their heads. ”

Levi nodded, and of course he noticed that the sails were all red, and they were too eye-catching, just like the lizardmen were afraid that others would not see them.

If it is a weak creature with such obvious characteristics, it will only die quickly in the wild, but with the strength of these lizardmen, it is estimated that no one dares to take the initiative to provoke them.

"They are red-crowned skinklings, and I once heard some rumors about them from one of the powerful Moorish knight mentors in the sect, who not only worship the ancient saints, but also the snake god Sotigo, who may have been sacrificed to the snake god."

Levi suddenly realized: "I see. ”

After the explanation of the Moorish knight Tanato, Levi figured out the whole thing, the snake god, it sounded completely different from the ancient saints, and why the sacrifice would choose these swamp toddlers was also very simple, and the snake didn't seem to need any reason to eat frogs.

But thinking of this, Levi's expression suddenly became a little strange, because he vaguely remembered that when he first created the characters, there was a kind of magic toad in the lizardman faction, and those guys looked like enlarged versions of humanoid toads, which were a bit similar to the appearance of these swamp toads, but those magic toads were all pot-bellied, and it seemed that they should be a legal profession that was not very good at running.

But if the snake god loves the swamp toads as sacrifices, then what will his attitude towards these demon toads be? And these lizardmen who believe in the snake god, I'm afraid the relationship with those magic toads will not be too good, which is really intriguing...

Just when Levi's thought about it, Hua Meisi, who was busy directing the soldiers to search on the other side, suddenly cheered: "Levi, hurry up and come here, we have made a big discovery!" ”

After hearing the surprise cry of Wallace, Levi immediately ran over with the Moorish knight Tanato, the red-crowned lizard priest Habakak only said that there was something here, but they had to find out what it was, but fortunately it didn't take them much time.

Beyond several burning ruins, Levi came to a half-collapsed stone building.

Sure enough, directly in front of him, there was a fist-sized crystal on the ground, which was constantly emitting a faint light, and Hua Meisi was on guard with a small group of soldiers.

Seeing Levi's arrival, Hua Meisi hurriedly waved at him: "Levi, come and see, this thing can't be touched by other soldiers, only I can touch it, but I don't dare to pick it up." ”

Levi didn't expect such a thing, although he was a little surprised, but he still walked over directly, reached out and picked up something on the ground, and then the system's prompt immediately sounded.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Broken Beginner City Heart (Barbarian), which you can use to build a Barbarian Swamp City in the swampy terrain, and build the corresponding buildings, the use requirements: 300 gold, 10 wood, 10 stone."

"Note that due to the destruction of the heart of the city, it can only be upgraded to the village level at the most, and most of the buildings cannot be built, so currently only the Swamp Leaper Hatching Tank, the Swamp Man Barracks, the Swamp Man Distant Naruto Camp, and the Swamp Man Hunting Lodge can be built."

After reading the introduction, Levi could only "tsk" and put it into his space bag, because he definitely didn't plan to stay for his own use.

Not to mention that this is just a broken barbaric city, and only a few buildings can be built to recruit troops, and the recruited troops are almost certain to clash with their other subordinates due to factions and races.

From these superficial information alone, Levi can also roughly judge what kind of troops can be in it, and their strength is not stronger than his current subordinates.

What's more, the use of this heart of the city requires a bit of swampy terrain, and if Levi builds here, then he will be tethered here forever, because if he leaves here, there will be no one to manage this place at all, okay?

And that use requirement, if there are so many gold coins, Levi can directly pull up a considerable army, and he even has the courage to try to explore the fish-man tribe...

So Levi can only very regrettably put it away for the time being, and wait until he returns to Oak Village, and then see if the saint has any way to deal with it, anyway, this is completely for nothing, this time the Sweetwater Swamp is really not in vain, except for the big crocodile summoned by the king of the swamp people, they have not experienced much danger, but they have gained a lot of good things.

It's just that Levi's forces haven't found anything useful here other than the ruined Heart of the Elementary City.

After ordering his subordinates to rest on the spot and regain their strength, Levi looked up at the sky, it was only about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed a bit too much time to return to Oak Village now, but there was nothing else to do at the moment.

Although the lizardmen left a fairly obvious trail when they left, Levi suppressed his curiosity and impulsiveness, and had no intention of following them at all. Because the other party has magic and air force, before he gets close, the other party will be able to find out early, so don't get into trouble.

Or can you go back to the Far Wanderer camp and see how the players are doing?

But there must be a lot of trouble, because whether it is the white Bloomus riding or the heavily armored Moorish Knight Tanato, they are too eye-catching, maybe they should think of a good way to solve this problem.

Just as Levi was a little tangled, the halfling ranger suddenly issued a warning to Levi: "My lord, I have noticed that there are more than five squads or so of the enemy approaching in the northwest direction. ”

Livingston came to his senses, and now he didn't have to worry about himself: "Okay, all ready to fight." ”

To the northwest, it's the exact opposite direction to the departing army of lizardmen, so I wonder who it will be? Could it be a swamp man? It's just that this seems to be a bit of a lot.

With a splash of muddy water, a tall, muscular swampman poked its head out of the crooked woods.

Unlike other ordinary swamp warriors, this swamp man not only holds a mace made of mostly metal in his hand, but also holds a shield of the same metal structure in the other hand, and is also wearing a leather armor on his body, and a blue cloak on his back, which looks more luxurious than Levi's equipment, and is definitely a leader-level existence among the swamp people.

But when it poked its head out and saw everything in front of it, it couldn't help but be stunned, because except for some strange human troops in front of it, it saw a burning ruin, and its own home was completely destroyed!

"Quack!"

With an angry cry from the leader of the swamp warriors, its already large, round eyes bulged outward, and it raised its mace and slammed it on its shield with a piercing crash, and then it cried out again, "Quack! ”

As if receiving an attack signal, Levi watched more than a dozen swamp warriors jump past it, and rushed directly in the direction where Levi and the others were, looking at their size and appearance, most of them were swamp warriors, and there were a few guys with giant sticks, according to the information Levi had obtained before, they should be more powerful swamp warriors.

And it seems that the roar of the leader of the swamp warriors is also a skill, and the already large eyes of the swamp people who pounced on them are now even more swollen due to congestion, and it seems that it should be a skill to strengthen them.

But despite the menacing appearance of the other party, Levi did not have the slightest fear, because not long ago, the king of the swamp people led more subordinates than now, and even the king of the swamp people had long-range troops at that time, so he couldn't also gain the upper hand in the battle with Levi's troops?

Therefore, Levi commanded the troops very calmly to meet them, anyway, these swamp warriors would definitely not be able to break through the defense line of the Moorish knight Tanato.

But what surprised him a little was that the leader of the swamp warriors who looked very fierce and very angry, it didn't even rush up in person, it just stared at its big eyes, glaring at Levi and the others in the rear, and let out ugly quacks from time to time, Levi was very irritable when he heard it, but there were these swamp people in front of him isolated from him, and he didn't have any good way to deal with the other party.

However, Levi quickly had an idea, and he reached out and took out the gift of the red-crowned Grey Lizard to sacrifice to Habakak from the space bag, equipped it on his own panel, and clicked to use it.

As the mana was consumed, a magic array that seemed to glow appeared at Levi's feet, and then two large blue-green lizards nearly two meters long, with sharp bone spurs more than a foot long on their backs, and a bone hammer on their tails, walked out.

Apparently, they are the summoned ranged troops, the Young Thornbacks.

Although the two young thorn-backed lizards looked very vicious on the outside, they behaved very tame towards Levi, and after looking up at him, they quietly crouched at his feet, as if waiting for his orders.

Levi looked at his system panel, and sure enough, Levi didn't notice any loss of morale, he couldn't help but smile, and then pointed his spear at the far left of the swamp warrior, who was fighting fiercely with a halberd.

"The target is the swamp warrior, attack with all your might!"
