The Epirus League of Cities, the most powerful of which is the Morosian tribe, possesses the ancient Sacred Grove of Totona, which enshrines ancient oak trees that are old and have prophetic powers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The gods who sheltered this rainy land, with the sound of leaves, issued oracles of obscure meaning, usually conveyed by maidens and young children, which were quite different from everyday language, and the meaning was often vague or even ambiguous, so it was necessary to find a priest with ancient wisdom to interpret it.

In the rhythmic swaying of the branches, the priest in charge of interpretation finds the entry point of the oracle and literally speaks of the future fate, such as next year's harvest, the progress of the war, the change in the weather, and so on.

Because of its high accuracy and trust, even if there are a few mistakes, some priests will take the initiative to take the blame, claiming that they did not interpret the oracle clearly, handed over the scepter and chose to retire, turning into an oak tree in the sacred forest, and continuing to pass on the ancient wisdom.

Illyria's forces broke through the frontier and, under the guidance of the merchants who led the way, captured two medium-sized city-states without expending too many troops.

Citizens who had to surrender were extorted for large ransoms and bankrupt, and fled to other city-states in a panic.

Nobles with unique bloodlines, as long as they were men, had their joints broken and sent to the altar as sacrifices. Their blood will be further purified and condensed, infused into the bodies of warriors who have achieved remarkable feats through the Blood Bath Ritual Enchantment Card.

As for the families of the nobles, women and children with full potential, who were rewarded to the elites under his command by Lu Bin as the master, the dragon tooth soldiers were eligible to enjoy them, whether it was the distribution of war profits and favors, they were always in the first order.

The second is the heroic warriors cultivated by the Orpheus Esoteric Cult, each of whom has the strength to rival the heroes, but is still mortal in nature. Lu Bin hopes that by marrying the conquered nobles, their next generation will become true heroes.

A large number of craftsmen and slaves were taken captive and sent to the safety of the rear, and Riptide under Lu Bin further enriched the military industry, as well as other industries that served the war effort, such as leather manufacturing related to leather armor, bronze smelting closely related to weapons, and so on.

The expeditionary force could not eat all the grain collected in the occupied area, and transported it to the port of Illyria by sea, and Lu Bin, as the leader, first filled the granaries of Rapids City before distributing them to the allies who had a share of the troops to appease their dissatisfaction.

Sharing the dividends of the war and releasing goodwill in an appropriate amount, Lu Bin's position as the leader of the alliance has become increasingly stable, and he has also gained an excellent reputation within the Seven Cities Alliance.

The upper echelons of Lisos City, due to the abandonment of the long-range shooter Apollo, could not enjoy even the slightest divine grace, and feared the whereabouts of their souls after death, and even had the intention of merging with Riptide City.

Lu Bin did not categorically refuse, in order to avoid irritating the Seven Cities Alliance, he agreed in principle to the nobles' request for conversion, and firmly refused on the matter of merger, completely cutting off the minds of the top leaders of Lisos.

On the battlefield, the expeditionary force attacked the city like a swift wind, although the territory occupied and the gains gained can be said to be extremely rich, but the core essence of the Epirus region is still there, and the overall strength has not been lost to the extent of breaking the bones, only a few city-states on the border have fallen.

A new era is coming, and humans are no longer dispensable parasites, and their beliefs are essential for the ascension of the gods.

Lu Bin is very clear about this, the Illyrian coalition is the seed of the future, if it is lost in the Epirus conquest, it will inevitably be worth the loss, after all, population growth takes time to precipitate, even if the women who are now captive are pregnant and ready to give birth, at least more than ten years, this generation of baby boomers can form the soil of faith.

He counted the monsters he had collected, and decided to spend a lot of money to unblock large cards in the nest and exchange the corpses of the dead for free cannon fodder (nest creatures).

Merging into the ghost ship's black water swamp and spitting out the corpses of monsters in a row, Lu Bin immediately connected to the core of the burial bone land through the Book of Travel Mages.

He saw a pool of colorful cards, more than ever, and retrieved the lair cards he needed as he pleased.

"Nature-related, green mana. The production of nest creatures is large, and it can only be below the extraordinary and relatively low-level creatures...... There you go!"

The dazzling card pool disappeared in an instant, and the vision turned into deep darkness again, like a silent void, with only two green cards left, appearing in front of Lu Bin's eyes.

The third-level nest is a blade-toothed leopard, with the biological characteristics of stealth, sneaking, and the production of two per day, and the second-level nest, the wolf, with the biological characteristics of biting and riding, and the production of three per day.

The dens of the razor-toothed leopard are nestled in a dense canopy of trees, shaded by lush foliage. The Bladetooth Leopard has a pair of emerald-like eyes that allow it to see its prey even in the middle of the night, when it is dark and dark. This creature is adapted to complex terrain such as mountains and forests, and is not only gentle and agile, but also a top hunter. The best of them will mutate, master the power of shadows, merge with the environment, and evolve into the Shadow Bladetooth Panther.

The wolf's den does not pay attention to external conditions, and it can also make a home in a dripping burrow. Wolves are social creatures that hunt large herbivores, are bloodthirsty and warlike by nature, and when hungry, they will even eat carrion, so their minions are often infected with the seeds of the disease. If you attach a special companion card "Beast Tamer" to a nest card, the resulting wolf will have the ability to ride. When a normal retinue is combined with a wolf, it transforms into a wolf knight. Inserting a special card "Infected" will give birth to derivative creatures such as beasts or werewolves.

"The attack power of the Bladetooth Leopard is very impressive, and the stealth characteristics are suitable for sneak attacks at night, so that the enemy is exhausted. The daily production of the wolf is relatively high, and there is a lot of room for growth, the key is the characteristics of riding, if combined with the warrior who has been transformed into a follower, a wolf rider suitable for pan-terrain is born. In the mountainous and hilly areas of Epirus, the wolf cavalry will be stronger than the ordinary cavalry, and the high speed of the battle, whether it is attacking the city and plundering the land, or encircling the point to send reinforcements, will to some extent, change the direction of the local battle. ”

After weighing it repeatedly, Lu Bin abandoned the blade tooth leopard with better combat power, chose the wolf lair card, turned it into a dark green streamer, and handed it to the most trusted Orpheus, and brought it to the border city of Epirus that had just been captured.

Orpheus, who possessed the Bird of Bliss, spread his wings to fly in the wind, and in order to avoid the eyes of mortals, he only flew over the ridges and mountains, and reached his destination at the speed of a galloping horse.

The city captured by the coalition army exuded an air of desolation under the cover of night, and Orpheus quietly landed, walking in a remote corner, looking for a good place, and immediately flung the green light wrapped around his fingertips towards the brick and stone ruins behind the collapse of the building.

Lu Bin witnessed the passage of the second-level nest taking root through the Bird of Bliss, only to see that the broken masonry was arched by an invisible force, and the pillars on the ruins rolled down, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Through the barrier of mortal things, Lu Bin saw the truth of the evolution inside the ruins, countless brick and stone fragments, like gears meshing with each other, recombining and forming, and transforming into a round arch-shaped nest The invisible force field of the *** part is still expanding the space, and constantly hitting down through the stone floor, like an ant nest, opening up a total of seventeen branch caves of different sizes.

Among them, the number of cub burrows is the largest, there are nine in total, and the embryo and egg of the wolf are forming, and due to the lack of flesh and blood, they can only grow slowly.

Lu Bin immediately informed Orpheus to collect the corpse through the book of the traveling mage, and threw it into the wolf's lair.

Unable to comprehend the mysterious power of the nest card, Orpheus could only do so under Lu Bin's order. Fortunately, the newly fallen city was full of corpses that had resisted to death, and Orpheus walked around at random and found ten.

Orpheus would not carry it on his shoulders, so he took off the lyre attached to his robe, picked up his four fingers and plucked them lightly, and played a mournful mourning song. Many of the corpses struggled to their feet, obeyed special commands, and walked towards the wolf's lair, where they were engulfed in the surging shadows.

Lu Bin immediately discovered that the flesh and blood of the corpse and the essence of life were decomposed by the nest in the blink of an eye, and in addition to feeding the embryos that were still being conceived, most of them were used to activate the nest itself.

The walls of the cave were made of masonry, slowly spreading pliable skin, and fine wolf fur grew at a speed visible to the eye. The hard ground becomes soft, and stepping on it feels like standing on slippery guts.

Tomorrow morning, we have three mature wolves, which are indeed feasible to attack, but they will not be able to form an army until they have reached a certain level of number, and for now the best thing to deal with is to act as scouts. ”

Lu Bin casually decided on the usefulness of the creature nest, and as the only person in the know, Orpheus, the commander of the expeditionary force, immediately understood.

The mysterious power of the lair was incomprehensible to his knowledge, but that didn't stop Orpheus from having faith in the future. After all, there have been too many miracles in the past, which happened in front of everyone, including Lu Bin's summoning him from the underworld to the yang world, which simply exceeded the authority of Hades, the king of the underworld.
