No. 140 fuels the fire
At the southern end of the Vic Territory, the banks of the Jinshui River are 30 kilometers long, and more than 4,000 ant-people roam the river beach, which looks particularly sparse from a distance. But once there is a battle on the riverbank, these ant-men are like hungry wolves that smell blood, swarming. Victor stood on a high hill and witnessed more than a dozen incidents of Ant-Man chasing Fish-Man. However, their pursuit was mostly futile, and the fish-men grabbed an ant-man and dragged it into the river when the colony was not looking. By the time the ant colony had gathered, the fish-man had fled back into the raging river with his captive, and the green blood of the ant-man gushed out of the water. The ant colony can only hiss helplessly on the river beach.
Victor's perception of them was subverted by the clever guerrilla tactics of the Fishmen, and he asked in amazement, "When did these Fishmen start to adopt this strategy?"
"After you left the territory, these fish-men and ant colonies fought two fierce battles, about a thousand fish-men were killed, and the losses of the ant colony were not small, and two ant-man leaders directly withdrew from the territory. Then, these fish-men began to sneak up on Ant-Man, which has continued to this day. It won't be long before the fish-people attack the ant colony. These little monsters are notoriously stubborn. Nelson chuckled.
The fish-man's ugly head loomed in and out of the waves of the Jinshui River and stared at the ant colony on the riverbank with a fierce gaze, and they obviously wouldn't let go of these intruders.
Victor said, "Nelson, don't you think these fish-people are cute?"
Nelson was stunned for a moment, then laughed again. If it weren't for these fish-men dragging down the ant colony, the purple cane that Victor received would probably have been gnawed clean by the ant-man. The fish-people have protected the precious purple cane resources with their lives, and from this point of view, they are indeed cute.
"The enemy of our enemies is our friends, so let's help our fish-man friends and let them fight Ant-Man again. Victor asked Renault next to him, "How's the preparation going over there?"
Renaud nodded, "According to your orders, everything is ready." ”
"Then let's get moving. Victor jumped into the dog cart, and when he saw Nelson in heavy armor also jumping into another dog cart, he couldn't help but ask, "Nelson, don't you feel tired in armor?"
Nelson slammed the iron cuirass and said in a high-spirited manner, "My lord, this weight is nothing, I don't feel tired at all!"
The corners of Victor's mouth twitched, Nelson really didn't feel tired sitting in the dog cart, what was tired was the war mastiff that pulled him. Well, that's not much for a mastiff, but isn't it really hot to put yourself in a tin can?
It didn't take long for Victor and his party to reach their destination. It is a dense grove. Outside the woods, hundreds of Ant-Man were devouring patches of purple cane. In the rustle, the three-meter-tall purple cane kept falling down, and Victor and Nelson glanced at each other, both seeing the anger in each other's eyes.
"Dhoni, is the pit dug?" asked Victor to a spirit monkey militiaman.
Militia Doni pointed to a pit not far away and replied, "My lord, it has been dug and ten meters deep." ”
The two-metre-square pit is ten metres deep, and the bottom is covered with croissant leaves. There were two wooden barrels on the edge of the pit, filled with green paste, and the pungent smell made Victor frown, "How long do these herbs have an antiseptic effect?"
"It is guaranteed that the corpse will not deteriorate within 30 days. However, it is uncertain whether it will be effective against Ant-Man. Doni said honestly.
Victor nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard Nelson's voice, "My lord, do you really have to sacrifice these big dogs? They are strong and loyal, and they are trustworthy companions. ”
Ten war mastiffs sat side by side on the ground, and Nelson touched their heads, making him lament the sacrifice of these powerful and ferocious animals. Seeing this, Victor sighed: "The leader of the Ant-Man is a silver-level monster, we want to kill the silver monster, how can we not sacrifice it?" These war mastiffs are all bred with secret medicine, they can't be fertile, their lifespan is very short, and the amount of food is too large, we can't raise so many war mastiffs at present." ”
"My lord, the strength of these war mastiffs is about the same as that of the ferocious gnolls, so it's a pity to sacrifice them like this. Anyway, the territory is full of wild boars, and it should be no problem to feed them!, or let me try it? With the mastiff in my hand, I'll do it!" Nelson pinched two new tomahawks and was eager to try.
"You will cultivate for another three months, and you will have cultivated the spirit monkey secret form to the same level!" glaring at Nelson, Victor said again: "Don't look at the number of wild boars in the territory, the war mastiff will be able to eat them all in a few months, that would be a pity!"
"My lord, wild boars destroy crops, and they are all dead. What's the pity?" Nelson asked, puzzled, as they even took on the task of clearing wild boars when the mercenary group was in dire straits.
Victor had a bit of a headache, the mastiff was the standard model for a ferocious animal, and a ferocious animal needed at least 100 square kilometers of territory to ensure that it had plenty of food. Raising too many mastiffs will only destroy the animal resources of the territory. Victor wasn't prepared to explain to Nelson what environmental protection was and what a sustainable path was, he just said: "Wild boars are very useful to me, and when the territory starts to rebuild, I'm going to raise wild boars in large numbers." ”
Scratching his iron helmet, Nelson wondered a little that no one in the human kingdom would raise wild boars, because lords didn't like fatty pork.
Lord Victor must be useful if he says it is useful, and he can always see that others do not see wealth. Thinking of this, Nelson was no longer entangled, but a little excited and looking forward to it.
"Let's get started!"
Victor gave an order, and a majestic war mastiff roared and pounced on the ant colony in the purple cane forest, and before they could react, they directly bit the two outermost ant-men, barked provocatively, and turned their heads and ran in the direction of the river beach.
The ant colony that reacted let out a piercing hiss, and the black pressed chased after the war mastiff covered in green blood, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the leader of the ant-man standing alone. The Ant-Man leader turned his head and slowly prepared to leave. Another mastiff jumped out, its mane rising and baring its sharp fangs, blocking the Ant-Man leader's way.
The leader of Ant-Man looked at the mastiff the size of a calf, and after some evaluation, he was convinced that the beast in front of him had no value to hunt, so he continued to walk forward.
The mastiff's green eyes turned blood-red, the muscles under the fur bulged high, and its entire body was larger, and it pounced on the Ant-Man leader's back with lightning speed, biting one of its hind legs fiercely, dragging it back violently, the sharp fangs rubbed against the carapace fiercely, making a tooth-sore creaking sound, and finally failed to bite the tough armor of the Ant-Man leader.
The leader of Ant-Man was dragged down by the huge force and was immediately furious. Saber-toothed tigers don't hunt mice, but that doesn't mean they won't get angry if they're bitten by rats. The leader of the Ant-Man lifted his hind legs and stepped down on the mastiff, which was about to crush the beast into a pulp.
"Bang"
The leader of Ant-Man stepped into the air, and his hind legs sank deep into the torn dirt. The bloodthirsty mastiff was so fast that it dodged a deadly trample and gnawed on the leg of the Ant-Man leader. Provoked again, the Ant-Man leader turned from furious to furious, pulled out his hind legs and turned to chase after the mastiff.
The silver-tier Ant-Man leader spread his four legs and reached a speed of 20 meters per second, but it still couldn't catch up with the bloodthirsty mastiff. So, this powerful and ferocious monster chased the mastiff all over the field, and the mastiff didn't run far, so he took the leader of Ant-Man around the area in circles.
Ten minutes later, the bloodthirsty state was finally over, and the mastiff was like a balloon that had leaked air, its full body deflated, and its speed slowed down a lot in an instant. The Ant-Man leader lunged over and grabbed the weakened mastiff, then it tore the pesky creature in two.
With a smug hiss, the Ant-Man leader turned to leave, when another mastiff emerged from the purple cane forest. The same scene played out again.
When the leader of Ant-Man killed the sixth mastiff, Nelson could no longer contain his anxiety when he saw the mastiff's stump spilled in a pool of blood. He asked Victor, "My lord, it's almost!?"
Victor didn't care about Nelson's expectations, the mastiff was originally used for sacrifice, the production cost of a mastiff was 1200 gold soles, as long as the loss did not exceed ten mastiffs, then the operation would not be at a loss.
After a while, Renault came over and reported to Victor, "My lord, the ant colony has been brought to the designated location. ”
Victor's eyes lit up and he made a gesture, and the remaining three mastiffs rushed towards the Ant-Man leader at the same time.
While the Ant-Man leader was entangled with the four war mastiffs, Victor, who was hiding three hundred meters away, shot through the head of the Ant-Man leader with a heavy crossbow, and the surviving war mastiff quickly escaped from the dying Ant-Man leader. After struggling for a long time, the Ant-Man leader finally died.
"Quick!"
The mastiff dragged the corpse of the Ant-Man leader and ran towards the dirt pit. Several militiamen rushed to the battlefield with wooden barrels filled with wild boar dung and covered the green blood of the Ant-Man leader with pig dung. The corpse of the leader of Ant-Man was thrown into a deep pit, and after the prepared embalming herbs were dumped, the militia refilled the pit. When all this was done, Victor led everyone out of the woods where they were hiding.
At the same time, in a valley near the river beach, the ant colony that had lost its leader fell into chaos, and more than 200 spirit monkey militiamen armed with hard bows shot deadly arrows from the hill at the cannibalistic ant colony, and after a few rounds of shooting, more than 400 ant-men were all lying in the valley. The Monkey militia retreated decisively towards the west side of the territory.
The ant colony on the river beach smelled the death of its own kind, and more than 3,000 ant-men rushed towards the valley. When they moved away from the riverbank, the fish-men of the Jinshui River pounced on the riverbank.
And just like that, a fierce battle broke out between the fishmen and the ant colony again.
