Dilapidated, desolate, ruined walls, crows hovering high in the air let out an unpleasant crow, flapping their wings and landing on a high arrow tower, lining the hill camp like a ghost domain.

Several giant dogs the size of calves jumped over the ten-meter-wide trench and got through the cracks in the collapsed drawbridge, and quickly dispersed in the hill camp, where a long howl sounded after a while.

Victor looked silently at the huge suspension bridge that had been carbonized, the deep trench was pitch black, and the green ground confirmed that thousands of ant-people had died here, but their corpses were gone, and most of them had been eaten by their kind.

"Bang!"

The chains were severed, the half-hidden drawbridge shattered to pieces, and Renault beckoned to Victor with his two-handed battle axe. Victor leaped forward, leaping lightly over the wide trench and into the hill camp escorted by six militiamen.

Collapsed houses, broken trees, and messy ground, except that the fence is still intact, can no longer be seen, and this was a beautiful village twenty days ago. Victor walked through the ruins towards the upper camp, and he could still hear the laughter of the villagers and the shouts of the guards as they trained, but all this was only a memory.

Seeing the results of half a year come to naught in one day, Victor has an indescribable heartache. Victor remembers building a beautiful castle out of blocks when he was a child, and when an old cat knocked it to pieces, he chased the old cat angrily for a long time, not to mention the hill camp where thousands of people were condensed.

Victor walked into the hill camp and began to reflect on his own bits and pieces since he traveled to this strange world. With an ethereal and beautiful future, the enthusiasm of everyone was condensed, and they were enthusiastic about working hard for themselves, and the territory was built in just a few months. Although he bumped into many difficulties, he generally handled them well, but just as he was planning his own ambitious future, a disaster ruined everything. Your own construction and planning are nothing more than a fragile building block castle!

The murderous Ant-Man teaches Victor a lesson, this is no longer the peaceful and prosperous world it used to be, this world has a cruel side. Victor knows the importance of strength and has seen monsters, but knowing it is not equal to a deep experience. Only after being taught a lesson did I understand why the ancestors of Huaguo built the majestic Great Wall under such backward conditions. And the most unsuccessful part of myself is that I am still thinking about problems with the thinking of peacetime, first developing the economy and then developing the military. Most of his energy is spent on the construction of the territory, although he also wants to build a castle, but it is only to maintain his position, not for defensive considerations. After reflection, Victor realized that he was not building a territory, but a company。。。。。。

Of course, even if you build the castle at the beginning, you can't succeed, you don't have enough time, manpower, and financial resources, and a few months to develop the territory into this is enough to show the advanced side of modern thought, in fact, give yourself another two years of development time, everything will be on the right track, but it's a pity that the monster won't reason with himself. The tragedy of the hill camp was doomed from the beginning, no lord would have anything like himself, recruiting hundreds of freedmen to rush to open up the territory, and the fearlessness of the ignorant was the root of the problem.

Fortunately, it's not too late! at least I'm still alive, and I still have the Alchemy Tower, and this large territory!

As he walked to the upper camp, Victor noticed dark red blood stains on the ground and scattered fragments of crossbows, presumably the marks left by the fallen auxiliaries.

Bending down to pick up a bloodstained piece of leather armor, Victor sighed, "Renault, what did Busso think when they died?

"I don't think about anything, I don't fear anything. Renault hummed.

Dropping the shards of leather armor in his hand, Victor clapped his hands. Renault's answer did not surprise Victor, the content of the will side determines the cognition of alchemy humans, and death is nothing more than a deep sleep for them.

But these Ant-Men are obviously also related to the Alchemy Empire, and their behavior is not much different from that of alchemy creatures, the only difference is that the life attributes of the commander Ant-Man far exceed the scope of alchemy creatures, reaching an astonishing thirty points.

In this regard, Victor has two conjectures, Ant-Man may be alchemical creatures, but they have escaped the shackles of the alchemy tower and are evolving towards natural life. Or, Ant-Man was originally an ordinary insect who inadvertently absorbed the soul fire of the Alchemy Tower, and was also affected by the will side of the Alchemy Tower. If, if the soul fire is regarded as divinity, these ant-men are transforming into divine creatures, and what they will eventually transform, Victor can hardly imagine.

Walking through the ruins of the upper camp, Victor once again entered the alchemy tower, the countless runes on the elemental extraction platform glowed brilliantly, and an alchemical war mastiff was taking shape.

Consciousness connected to the tower, and Victor shouted to the king, "King, I'm back again!"

"Welcome back, my lord!" replied the king.

"How many mastiffs have you ever produced?" Victor crossed his waist with one hand and touched his chin with the other, quite a bit of Hu someone's demeanor.

"The 36th, 4 more will be produced, and the production task will be over. The king replied.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurried over just to continue to give production orders, otherwise once the production task was over, the rapid production function would be closed.

"In the past two days, what has happened to the money in the Alchemy Tower's reserves?"

"Yesterday, the Alchemy Tower's soul fire limit increased by 90 points, and the number of gold coins increased by 37,698. Today, the alchemy tower limit has been increased by another 60 points, and the number of gold coins has increased by 25,624. ”

"So much!" Victor was taken aback by the number, despite his preparation.

"My lord, judging from the upper limit of soul fire increased by the Alchemy Tower, you killed 7 commander ant-men before and after, and there will naturally be these changes. The king said calmly.

"I only killed two, and the remaining five were mostly killed by the Yorks. Victor shook his head, "Originally, I was expecting the York family to send a grand knight to help me hunt down the Ant-Man commanders, but I didn't expect them to be attacked by Ant-Man. ”

"My lord, the result is the same, your power is getting stronger. The king said.

Victor sighed, "Maybe that's a bad thing, too! Ant-Man has clearly invaded House York's territory, and there are far more of them than I thought. And I inexplicably robbed Ant-Man of his money, what kind of reaction do you think the manipulator behind Ant-Man will have?"

The Alchemy Empire quantifies the power of the laws of creation into wealth, and it is not unreasonable to call them money. Of course, if you pick up money, you are happy, but if you pick up the money of the gangsters, it will be fatal, not to mention that Ant-Man is ten thousand times more murderous than those gangsters on the earth.

"My lord, it doesn't matter what kind of reaction Ant-Man has, they never intended to let you go. That being the case, you should continue to weaken them and plunder their wealth until they are wiped out. The king suggested.

Victor laughed, "That's right! I'm here to spend money." ”

"Your Excellency, you seem to be happy?" the king was a little puzzled, the last time he connected to Victor's consciousness, Taling clearly felt that his master's mood was very low, but this time it was very relaxed.

"I suddenly found that my territory was as clean as being washed, and there were almost no living people to be found except for us, and now that we have money again, it is a good time to make alchemical creatures!"

These days, Victor has been dealing with Ant-Man in his territory, and he finds that not only the hill camp, but also other forces in the territory have been wiped out by Ant-Man, and Ant-Man is still tirelessly teaching Fish-Man on the banks of the Jinshui River. The entire territory has been turned into an uninhabited wilderness.

Originally, Victor's problem of creating alchemy humans was limited by his wealth on the one hand, and in order to cover up the secrets of alchemy humans on the other hand, but a disaster brought by Ant-Man solved both problems. At this time, it is natural to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the trend.

Just do it, Victor directly ordered the king, "King, after the battle mastiff production task is over, continue to produce 50 alchemy crows, and then according to the order of 5 spirit monkey militia and 2 alchemy auxiliaries, there is no limit to the production of spirit monkey militia and alchemy auxiliaries." Alchemy auxiliaries are loaded with Spirit Monkey Secret Form, ranged weapons are mastered, and building and forging skills are loaded in turn. ”

"Yes, my lord, the production order has been given and the mission has been established. ”

Victor nodded in satisfaction. The cessation of production of barberry militia is carefully measured. The barberry militia is tall and burly, with superior strength, and can even resist the attack of ordinary knights for a while, and it is a fierce human who escapes it. The problem is that violent humans are rarer than knights, and it is difficult for the fierce humans gathered in the crowd not to attract the attention of the major forces. On the other hand, the strength of the Barberry Militia is that it is prone to death and injury, and the cost of the Alchemy Militia is as high as 1,200 gold soles, and in the state of rapid production, it reaches 1,800 gold soles. After all, in the design of the Alchemy Empire, the militia is not a combat unit at all, but more like a gathering and auxiliary construction unit.

Compared to the Barberry Militia, the Spirit Monkey Militia is closer to ordinary humans and has a stronger ability to survive. The Monkey Militia can't go head-to-head with the Knights, but their extraordinary agility allows them to maneuver for a while. If the Spirit Monkey militia is equipped with a silver crossbow and a war mastiff, it may not be impossible to shoot the knight, and the ferocious bear is proof of this.

On top of that, Victor is ready to build the castle. And this time in the battle to defend against Ant-Man, the excellent performance of the Spirit Monkey Militia made Victor very satisfied.

"King, let them assemble the alchemy units in the brick kiln village! Also, when creating alchemy auxiliaries, give priority to waking up Busso, and his skills don't need to be changed. Victor commanded with a complicated expression.

"As you wish, my lord. ”

——————————————

The town of Blackcastle is now like a large military camp, with most of the buildings bulldozed except for the aristocratic quarter and the church, and tents have been erected in the open space, where hundreds of thousands of people are crowded into the hills. Although it was a little crowded, the law and order was surprisingly good, the soldiers of the police station were constantly patrolling, and anyone who dared to take the lead was ruthlessly suppressed! It was a time of war, and even the church would not intervene.

During the war, the House of York, as the master of Blackcastle, conscripted all adult men into the militia, and even the lords of other families were scattered and settled. In fact, when the lords gave up their lands, they became freedmen. And those lords have already left the centaur hills with their vassals. Compared to these ignorant people, the lords knew very well what an army of 100,000 Ant-Men meant.

In a corner of Castle Blacksburg, Victor's lords lived together, and they were the only ones who had not been dispersed. This may be due to the fact that Victor is still holding his ground, so they are not vassals of the House of York. Of course, it is believed that this is because of Haig's care, as can be seen from the food allocated to them by the Yorks. Although everyone knows that Haig is actually a secret agent of the York family, after all, they have worked together for so long and are very familiar with each other. Therefore, the top management of Victor Collar is still quite grateful to Haig, except for Barol.

"Teacher, that Haig went to Dean for a drink again, and the village chief Dean was very happy when he came out, and he kept laughing. Before entering the camp, he stood outside for a while, and then there was no smile on his face. A lean child whispered to Balor.

"What do you see?" said Balor, intent on examining his own successor.

"Chief Dean is happy, and he doesn't want us to know he's happy, so he may have betrayed our interests. ”

"That's a good point! Laughing naturally means being happy, and putting away his smile naturally doesn't want others to know that he is happy. We just have to speculate a simple answer from simple phenomena, and we must not add fuel to our own wisdom. Once you have this answer, you can make a bold assumption that Dean betrayed our interests, and then follow this hypothesis. It doesn't matter if it's wrong, we do it most of the time, but we only need to get it right once. Go ahead and keep looking with your buddies. ”

Watching the little boy walk out nonchalantly, Barol was secretly proud. This little guy was the most gifted of his disciples.

After escaping to Blackcastle, Barol sensed that something was wrong. Lord Victor's subordinates were deliberately placed together, and they were given great preferential treatment, and Haig came over every now and then to ask for warmth, and secretly tested those people in the brick kiln village, but how could Haig's methods hide from Balor's eyes!

Barol hid in the shadows, relying on these little ghosts as his eyes and ears, and soon found out that the York family was courting the people of the brick kiln village, and they were asking about something, which might be very important to the York family. The most important thing is that they have not yet succeeded, and the people in the brick kiln village do not know about it.

Since the villagers of the Brick Kiln Village themselves don't know, how could the York family know that there may be such a thing in the Brick Kiln Village? Barol guessed that there are two possibilities, the first is that Lady Lilia told the York family, because Lady Lilia has been placed in the Rose Manor, which is the core of the York family, and Lilia is just a noble maid, so what qualifications do you have to place there? So, ostensibly placed in house arrest. This also shows the importance of that thing!

The second possibility is that Lord Victor deliberately told the York family, only Lord Victor himself knows where the thing is, if this speculation is true, then Lord Victor obviously wants to use this thing to negotiate with the York family!

Barol doesn't care about the content of the negotiations between Victor and the York family, but he knows that the family must find out the other party's situation and the bottom line before negotiating with another family. That's what Barol did.

Now, Lord Victor didn't know that the Yorks had suffered a plague, that their vassal families were under siege, that the Princes' Party had collapsed, that Lady Lilia was under house arrest, that the Church had sent 1,000 paladins, or that the Knights of Radiance hadn't come. So, Barol is in a hurry, he wants to send the information back!

It's not that Barol is loyal to Victor, but his career as a spy has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and it is his instinct to gather intelligence. Now that the information has been gathered, the most important thing is to pass it on! It's like the chef has prepared a big meal waiting for the master to eat. Only by passing on the information can Barol feel comfortable!

How do you get the information back?Barol set his sights on the Bear mercenaries who had gathered together for a drink.
