In the original world, Leon once created a huge family business from scratch, and his methods and ideas were definitely not comparable to these local nobles and merchants.

Under intense pressure, most of them chose to sign a new contract with Corinna and became a subordinate of the new Sal Collar, preserving their wealth and inheritance.

There are also some people who can't swallow this breath and use the forces behind them, but Leon's actions are completely immense, occupying the authority of the lord and the support of the temple, and those forces are unlikely to cause trouble for one or two small local properties, and finally let these short-sighted guys swallow the bitter fruit.

After completing the integration of the Iron Forge Fortress, Leon personally led 7,000 Thunder Beast warriors into the Dark Lands to encircle and suppress the flooding of underground monsters and dark elves to prevent the outbreak of the demon tide.

The dark places in the mountains and forests west of Ironforge have a long history, and the kingdom has even built fortresses to garrison them to defend them, and has also used the dark places as a place of trial for beast soul warriors, which are regularly cleared every year.

With most of Ironforge under the control of New Salling, the responsibility naturally fell to Leon.

Of course, Leon is no stranger to the dark place, and he is fully prepared before he starts.

The 6,000 newly trained Thunder Beast warriors, led by Rock Hammer and a few other samurai, were divided into elite squads and operated in various mining areas.

And Leon himself took a thousand of his most elite warriors deep into the heart of the Dark Lands.

His team also included Xiling and ten Templar Knights.

In the depths of the mountains, the forests of Xia Yu are extremely lush and dense, and this should be a green world full of life, but because of the long-term immersion of dark magic, it has become an eerie place.

Black vines entwined the towering trees, shading the sunlight and weaving a suffocating net, and countless fallen leaves rotted silently on the woodland, and if you were not careful, you could step into the mud pit.

Colorful flowers bloom in the shady bushes, and the sweet fragrance of the petals and the smell of decay in the forest make people dizzy.

But the most terrifying thing is the monsters lurking in the darkness, as soon as they smell the breath of people, they immediately swarm like flies and launch an undying attack on the intruders.

If it were an ordinary mercenary adventurer, they would sooner or later collapse in the face of the almost endless attacks of the dark monsters, but they encountered the most elite thunder beast warriors under the command of Leon.

These thousand warriors are based on veterans who have experienced the test of life and death, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and armor, and they are steadily fighting under the leadership of Leon, not giving the dark monsters any chance to sneak attack.

The standard heavy crossbows in their hands are extremely powerful, and those monsters have just appeared, and they must be greeted by a storm of arrows.

Even a third- or fourth-level demonic beast couldn't withstand such an attack, and he didn't even touch the edge of the thunder beast warrior, and he had already fallen under the rain of arrows.

Such a one-sided style of play surprised and despised the Templars at first, but later became more admired and enlightened.

The ten Templars were the servants of the Priest of Xiling, and during their time in Thrall, they also helped Leon train warriors, but they never came into contact with ordinary Thunderbeast warriors.

This Thousand Thunder Beast Guards were trained by Leon himself, they were strong and disciplined, and in the complex environment of the Dark Lands, they meticulously carried out Leon's orders, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly.

As they continued to deepen and fight, the experienced Templars saw that Leon was trying to attract dark monsters and dark elves to kill them with this thousand elite warriors as the core.

And the thousands of warriors on the periphery are fully cleaned, and the inside and outside should be swept away and the monsters that are flooded.

The use of heavy crossbows is undoubtedly the most labor-saving, loss-loving, and fruitful means of attack, and all warriors have the strength to be an elite crossbowman.

Of course, there are also powerful dark monsters and cunning dark elves in the Dark Lands, and they will not rush straight up to death like low-level monsters.

And at this time, the powerful Templar and Xiling, who existed as a trialist, came into play.

With the war song of light driving away darkness and the divine aura destroying evil, Xiling, protected by Leon and the Templar Knights, can use her magic and aura spells to destroy enemies and inspire and heal her comrades.

This kind of battle is of great help to her, in the mystery of Beamon's temple, only by constantly fighting can she win the favor of the beast god, and this beautiful swan priestess, when she killed all the way to the core area of the Dark Lands, actually touched the top of the level.

Her aura spell is not only capable of healing, but also has a powerful killing effect on dark monsters, and a range of aura can be smashed down, which can bring down batches of dark monsters.

Not to mention the Templar Knights, none of these ten knights are weak, and although their mission is to protect Xi Ling, they sometimes don't mind rushing forward to show their skills.

"It's so cool!" said the beautiful maiden priestess, a very unladylike remark.

Her strength was on the verge of exhaustion, and the sweat on her forehead drenched her hair, but her bright eyes were bright, her white face radiated a holy light, and her right hand held the scepter more and more forcefully.

Leon smiled slightly: "It's getting dark, let's camp here and go underground tomorrow morning." ”

He looked down at the map in his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to the grass not far from the side: "Seventy steps, cover the attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the trembling of the bowstring continued, and hundreds of crossbow arrows shot in the direction that Leon was pointing.

Squeak!

There was a creepy scream from the tall grass over there, and more than a dozen black feathered arrows flew out.

A team of thunder beast warriors had already prepared, and put up their shields to block the front.

A second wave of crossbow bolts fired, and after this wave of covering attacks, there was no sound in the grass.

This heavy crossbow cover was overwhelming, and the dark elves hiding in the bushes could barely fight back, and each Thunderbeast warrior carried enough crossbow arrows to alternate attacks that did not give the enemy a chance to breathe and escape.

Leon looked at the map again, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Clear the site and camp on the spot!"

The well-trained Thunder Beast warriors immediately took action, while Xi Ling leaned over to Leon's side and looked at the map in his hand curiously: "What is this thing of yours, and why can you find the location of the enemy?"

Hearing a pleasant and moving voice in his ears, his nose smelled a faint virgin fragrance, and his arm felt the softness of her leaning over**, such an intimate contact made Leon's heart flutter slightly, and he couldn't help but sniffle.

This small action made the swan priestess realize that she and Leon were too close, and the fullness of her chest was attached to Leon's arm, and her pretty face suddenly floated a faint flush.

But instead of pulling away, she continued to stare at Leon's map as if she didn't know.

Leon smiled bitterly in his heart.

Although Xiling has been coming to Salling for a long time, the two have not been together for a long time, and Corinna seems to be very wary of her, and Corinna is usually present when the two get along.

After doing this a few times, Leon vaguely saw that something was wrong, and the pearl of the kingdom seemed to have some kind of curiosity and interest in him, so Corinna was very sensitive.

It's just that Leon really doesn't have any thoughts about her, although the beauty of the other party is the only one Leon has seen in his life, but in a month or two he will marry Corinna and other girls, and he really has no interest in messing with flowers.

And Leon can also see that Xiling is not very interested in herself, but more like she is competing with Corinna.

Knowing this, Leon naturally didn't want to be too close to the other party, although this might be a good thing that countless noble knights could only dream of.

"This is a magic map that Corinna gave me at the auction, and it can show you friend and foe within the area, which is very useful in battle. Leon explained, quietly distancing himself from the other party.

The map was bought by Leon at Count Magnus's private auction for 200,000 gold coins, and was later discovered through his aura of wisdom.

A thousand Thunder Beast warriors fought all the way here, killing countless Monsters and monsters along the way, and they didn't lose a single thing, and this map that can show the enemy's location is indispensable, and it gives Leon's battle command a head start on the enemy.

"I see—" Xiling pursed her lips with some disdain, and returned to the side of Lex Knight with her head held high.

Hundreds of Thunderbeast warriors worked together to cut down the grass and trees, clearing a large clearing before it was completely dark, and they erected their tents and lit a roaring bonfire, the bright, blazing light of the fire to drive the darkness aside.

Not far away are the towering peaks that are the entrance to the underworld, the source of the Dark Lands.

Leon's team includes retired knights from the Ironforge Garrison, who have followed Keane deep into the Dark Lands to encircle the Dark Elves, so he is familiar with the terrain in this area.

After joining the Sal Territory, Kean was appointed by Leon to take charge of New Sal City and Ironforge Castle, directly in charge of a thousand Thunder Beast warriors, and some of his unwanted old subordinates came to take refuge after receiving the news and regained their lives.

Camping in the core area of this dark place is naturally very dangerous after nightfall, but Leon has a magic map in hand, and monsters and dark elves can't sneak within a hundred steps of the surrounding area, so there is no danger at night.

The next morning, the recharged Thunderbeast warriors regrouped and advanced to the entrance to the Underworld.
