"Where, where, where is the enemy"

In the woods, the entire Uger tribe exploded, and all the tribesmen, women, and children, rushed out of the wooden house, especially a group of hippopotamus men, some of whom were still naked in a daze, and were completely instinctively driven to pick up wooden sticks and sledgehammers to look for enemies everywhere.

As soon as this group of macho men joined the battle group, the swamp water demons suddenly collapsed.

These hippopotamus warriors have absolutely no good stubble, and when they found the enemy, they immediately rushed over and smashed them all over, and the old wooden sticks with thick bowls beckoned to each other's heads and necks, and in the blink of an eye, they put down one without ambiguity.

However, their combat efficiency still couldn't catch up with Leon's scout team, and ten leopard warriors each armed with a crossbow shot the swamp water monster to the ground.

The crossbow in their hands is a standard standard armament, equipped with special armor-piercing arrows, which can penetrate the metal armor within a range of dozens of steps, and there is no pressure on the scale armor on the water demon's body.

The only drawback is that the frequency of crossbow firing is relatively low, but the lethality of an arrow is too terrifying, and these water demons who are used to fighting close combat with hippopotamus warriors can not resist it.

What's more, there is also a brave Leon rushing to the front.

Slashed the water demon warlock, Leon was just a little warmed up, and he was very dissatisfied with the killing intent, and began to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.

Laugh at!

Suddenly, a silver-white water arrow flew out from the darkness of the trees, shooting straight at Leon's chest.

This arm-thick water arrow came extremely suddenly, and the speed was even faster, and Leon, who was caught off guard, had no time to dodge.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he raised his hand to block the knife in front of his chest.

Syllable!

The water arrow landed heavily on the blade and exploded, and the huge impact caused the knife to crash back into Leon's chest, making a dull sound.

Leon took several steps back, his chest was so tight that he almost couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, his copper skin and iron bones were solid enough, and the ribs in his chest were not broken.

A dark green giant crocodile quickly crawled out of the bushes, its bulging eyes staring at Leon, twisting its body and throwing its long crocodile tail, and jerked towards Leon!

Rumble!

It failed to hit Leon, and a large tree with a thick hug blocked the blow for Leon, and the huge trunk trembled and shook off countless fallen leaves.

The warlock in the swamp water demon has the ability to tame and drive some aquatic monsters, and this swamp giant crocodile is obviously brought by the warlock who has just been killed by Leon, so he will vent his hatred on Leon.

But it caused itself a lot of trouble.

Leon rushed forward a few steps suddenly, suddenly jumped up and jumped directly onto the giant crocodile facing him, and before it could struggle, the flaming war knife in his hand thrust down fiercely!

This time, Leon also triggered his own thunder power, and two powerful forces directly hit the giant crocodile's head along the wound caused by the penetration of the war knife.

Burst!

A piece of the giant crocodile's skinned skull was blown away, and red, white, and black fragments flew everywhere, and neither eye knew where to go.

Whoops!

The mortally battered crocodile opened its bloody jaws large enough to swallow a calf, and it flung its body desperately to shake Leon off its back.

But this was only the last light of the swamp overlord, who took a few steps forward on all fours, and then collapsed to the ground and convulsed, and lost his life in the blink of an eye.

Leon exhaled a long breath, this big guy has brute strength and can spell, and his ability will definitely not be small, fortunately, he seized the opportunity to kill with a knife, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.

With the death of the swamp crocodile, the night battle in the woods was quickly coming to an end, and only a few swamp water demons fled in a hurry under the cover of night, leaving at least a hundred corpses behind.

Only two of the scouts were wounded, and no one from the Uger tribe was killed.

Leon was amazed by the way the hippopotamus warriors handled the corpses of the swamp water demons, and they cut off the water demons' hands, feet, and heads, and put them all in animal skin pockets.

Elder Uger said that these things were worth a little money, and that some mercenaries who entered the forest would buy them from them, and they were said to be good ice water magic materials.

"Lord Leon, thank you so much this time!"

After the battle was over, in between his men cleaning up the battlefield, Elder Ugg expressed his gratitude to Leon.

This time, the swamp water demons definitely came prepared, dispatching hundreds of warriors, a warlock, and a swamp giant crocodile, which is almost the entire strength of a water demon tribe.

If it weren't for Leon and the others who found out in time and took the lead and dealt a heavy blow to the water demons who came to sneak attack, and Leon single-handedly killed the water demon warlock and the swamp giant crocodile, I'm afraid the Uger tribe would really suffer a heavy blow.

"That's as it should be!" Leon smiled, he thought for a moment and asked, "How did these water demons get here?"

The swamp water demon calls the swamp as its home rather than the forest, and is located in the hinterland of the Sal Territory, not far from the western swamp, and separated by lofty mountains in between.

"Rivers, they come through the rivers in the forest," Elder Ugg explained, "and they lurk in the water during the day and come out to attack us at night. ”

I see!Leon nodded, and in the process of exploring the territory, he found more than a dozen forest rivers, crisscrossing to form a rather hidden water network.

It is convenient for the swamp water demon to invade the forest area through the waterway, and it seems that he will strengthen his vigilance and defense in this area in the future.

Then this group of hippopotamus warriors in front of you is the best water defense force!

However, Leon is not in a hurry, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, as long as the Uger tribe stays here, sooner or later it will be included in his combat power system.

At dawn, Leon left the Ug tribe with Rose and the Scout team and returned to Camp Hammer.

After more than ten days of investigation, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation in his territory, and also drew a rough map, although there are still many details that need to be slowly improved, but there is no need to rush.

Seriously, what he was going to do right away was, of course, to build the cornerstone of the Sal Collar on the shores of the small lake.

Leon had already thought about it, he decided to build a city instead of a castle, and the vast mountain forest of Salling had so much potential to be tapped, and the model of the city was the most suitable for future development.

However, it is really unimaginable to build a city from scratch, and the amount of money involved in it is really unimaginable, you must know that in the Glowing Continent, most of the cities have accumulated hundreds or even thousands of years to form the current scale pattern.

Even a small city is amazing engineering.

Leon's ambitions are really big.

On the afternoon of the second day after leaving the Uger tribe, Leon and his party returned to the banks of the border river.

The Hammer Tribe is very calm, although this place is too small, there is no threat, and the tribe's reserves can last enough time.

After the pursuit of the Blood Wolf Cavalry, there was no movement on the part of Collinworth and Rock Fortress, and the entire Gray region seemed to have completely forgotten about the Hammer Tribe and Thrall.

But beneath this calm surface, there are still undercurrents.

"In the last few days, there have been no more caravans of gray camels, and we can't buy anything. Elder Munstan said helplessly, "I have received information that Collingworth has received an order not to allow caravans to trade with us, and they have placed rangers in the grasslands of this area. ”

Want to trap Thrall to death?, Leon sneered, he had already expected such a situation.

To Leon's surprise, there was an additional family of four in the tribe - Concordia, a knight of House Collingworth, his wife and two children.

It's just that Concordia is now neither a member of the Collingworth family, nor a knight.

Because of his performance against Leon that day, Viscount Melle was furious when he learned about it afterwards, and not only ordered him to be stripped of his knightly honor, but even had his soul core sealed.

For a beast soul warrior, if the soul core is sealed, it is equivalent to being deprived of its strongest strength, which can be called one of the most severe punishments.

Driven out of the family, Concordia had no place in the castle, and Elder Munstein, after receiving the news, sent someone to invite him to join the Sal Territory.

After all, the calamity encountered by this knight is also directly related to the Hammer Tribe, and Elder Munstan has a good impression of this knight with a clear conscience, so he is willing to help the other party when he is in trouble.

With no way out, Concordia had no choice but to give up everything he had received in Collingworth for the sake of his family, and came to the Hammer Tribe to live temporarily.

When Leon saw Concordia again, the fierce and bold wolf knight looked extremely downcast, with a bearded face and blank eyes.

He saw that Leon only smiled reluctantly, and then bowed his head and said nothing.

Concordia's wife stood behind him, looking at Leon with some trepidation, and the gentle woman also had a haggard look on her face.

Leon strode forward and gave Concordia a powerful hug: "Concordia, on behalf of Salling, I welcome you and your family, from today onwards, you will be the captain of our Sal Lord's Guard!"

Captain of the Lord's Guard!This is a position that can only be held by the most trusted knights of the family.

Concordia raised her head in amazement: "Lord Leon, I'm not a knight now!"

If the soul core is sealed, it must be unlocked through the temple by performing another soul casting ceremony.

And how could an expelled family knight still be qualified to participate in such a ceremony?

"That's not a problem!"

Leon patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
