Chapter 101: The Terror of Sotan
......
Ye Xiao accepted Ansu's suggestion and began to assist in the reconstruction of the fish-man village after dawn, and at the same time, a large number of miniature scout insects began to spread around the watershed of this fish-man lake.
Just like when he first came, Ye Xiao asked a few miniature scout insects to search downstream along the shore of the lake. It soon became clear that the lower reaches of the lake were connected to a large swamp, which was stinking and full of tiny midges and poisonous ants.
This swamp is deserted and endless, and there are some remnants and broken walls during the period, like some ancient ruins, it may take some time to find out, but it doesn't matter, Ye Xiao has enough time to explore, so he simply let those few miniature scout insects explore on their own, and then don't bother anymore.
When helping the fish-man rebuild the village, Ye Xiao found that the fish-man hardly used any iron tools and hardly touched fire.
The villages are also made of local wood and vines, and the long-legged huts are built casually by the lake, which can protect the lake from the tides and floods during the rainy season.
There was only the residence of the chief and a dozen shamans, and there was a symbolic wading pool behind the hut, and there was nothing else planned and uncharacteristic.
Since Ye Xiao decided to use the fishman as bait, he didn't plan to interfere more.
However, at Ansu's prompting, he discovered that although these fishmen did not use any iron tools, they could process shells, corals, pearls, bones and other things into very beautiful crafts.
They used these handicrafts to decorate their long-legged huts, and they also made many very delicate spears and shamanic staffs, which Ye Xiao thought could definitely have a good market in the countries of other races.
These require Henry to run errands, and Ye Xiao also wants to summon Henry and ask if the recent caravan has been successfully built.
Ye Xiao believes that if you want to develop steadily, the supply of resources, as well as the procurement of Warcraft crystal nuclei and precious minerals, are all indispensable, and these require a lot of money to operate.
Just in the areas around Suotan City and Shire Province, it was not enough to meet Ye Xiao's huge needs at all.
Therefore, in the days to come, he needs his caravan to go to the whole country of Ismanton, and even the countries of other races, and purchase a large number of Warcraft crystal nuclei and precious minerals, which also requires more funds for operation.
If you follow Ansu's suggestion, you can secretly annex some small principalities in the future, as long as you control the king and the royal family without knowing it, you can achieve the goal of controlling these small principalities.
Based on these small principalities, it will be easy to develop caravans and even commercial trade through the guise of the state.
This was a feasible plan, Ye Xiao thought it was necessary to discuss it carefully, so he took Ansu and Adelina who had been stationed in the fish-man lake before, and left this place together.
Only a small number of Zerg ambushes were left behind, lurking beneath the surrounding land of the fish-man village.
The fish people, led by Gollum Yam, gave Ye Xiao the privilege of self-sufficiency and autonomy, and were moved to kneel on the ground and kowtow and cry, this is a privilege that the fish people have never enjoyed, but for Ye Xiao, it is just a matter of one sentence.
However, Ye Xiao is not ruthless, he said to Gollum Yamu when he left that as long as the fishman serves him faithfully, when he returns to the fruits of the fishman's hard work, he will give the fishman a certain amount of compensation, and will give the fishman safety and shelter, so that they can avoid the persecution of other forces.
After hearing this, the fishman was grateful and kowtowed goodbye. Ye Xiao didn't plan to stay too long, and took the insect general and the guards, stepped into the wormhole and left the fish-man's lake.
......
In Sutan City, which Ye Xiao didn't know in the distance, on the night when Qinglong and Johnson slaughtered the dean of the Sotan City National Magic Academy and the Field family, the entire Suotan City was completely boiling.
Panic and tension completely enveloped the city, you must know that in addition to the guard army of the city lord of Sutan City, it can be said that the biggest force in this city is the field family.
Although Sutan City is not like the national capital Doan, where major princes and nobles in the kingdom are gathered, at least it has been inherited in Sotan City for hundreds of years, and it is also one of the most powerful forces in the city, not to mention that this generation of family heads is still the highly respected dean of the National Academy of Magic in Sotan City, whether it is fame or family power, it is famous and surnamed in the entire Shire Province.
But such a well-known family was completely wiped out overnight, hundreds of people in the whole family, along with domestic animals and pets, did not leave a living mouth, and the traces on the ground were pitted and chaotic, such a scene, even some magicians who knew the language of beasts, and some experienced knights and generals, could not find useful clues.
Only the shocking bite marks on the corpses could show that these were from some kind of terrifying demonic beast, and nothing could be investigated.
But such a terrible massacre, if it wasn't a necromancer who had been pulled out recently, who else could there be?
"Didn't the necromancer appear near the midge swamp!" After seeing the ruins of the Field family, Bennett, the middle-aged and burly city lord of Sotan City, was completely furious.
Obviously, the information released above shows that the direction of the necromancer's escape is in the midge swamp, but why did it appear in Sutan City, six or seven hundred kilometers away?
Bennett, the lord of Sotan City, was so angry that he slashed the stone wall beside him with a single sword.
No matter how incredible it is, this thing has happened, and he is the president of the National Academy of Magic, and the whole family died in the city he is in charge of, this matter is inseparable from him, if he can't find the murderer, that damn necromancer, he is probably not going to be the city lord.
Bennett imposed a city-wide curfew that night, and blocked all entrances and exits to the city, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
Then he sent several generals and magisters, leading almost all elite knights and demon hunting teams, day and night to search the entire city of Sotan, as well as all the surrounding towns.
But for two days and two nights, without stopping, nothing was investigated, so on the third day, he had to send his knight captain Sander, with a team of cavalry, to send a letter to the city of Ivan, where the prince of Rosso was located.
If you don't join the prince in time, you will be charged with concealing and not reporting.
It was a day and a night away from Sotan City and Ivan City, and Sander couldn't stop it, he didn't even close his eyes, and he changed horses all the way.
However, Prince Barney Rosso, who is far away in Ivan City, is already preparing to celebrate with his confidant and relative Cyber before returning to Beijing.
To Barney, the necromancer was nothing more than a fly with a severed head, scurrying around.
What he brought was the elite army of the imperial city, and combined with the armies of the major lords to form a demon hunting army, in front of the army of hundreds of thousands, let alone a necromancer, even the master of the necromancer came in person, and he couldn't ask for good fruit to eat.
And this may be the last remnant of the War of the Dead, as long as you can deal with him, or capture this old monster alive, the prestige you can gain will definitely make you unshakable in the succession to the throne.
Barney sat on the throne of the Ivan City Lord's Palace, thinking beautifully, surrounded by only Cyber and a few personal guards.
Now the court magisters have already discovered the traces of the dead qi on the necromancer's body, and it is in the midge swamp. Even the city lord Ivan personally led his troops to surround it early this morning, and it was only a matter of time before the death mage was captured.
"Cyber, the elven princess Elijah, why hasn't you arrived in our Ivan City yet? That damn elven king actually rejected the marriage proposed by this prince, and the army of our empire should not have retreated in the first place. After the necromancer's matter could be put aside, Prince Barney's mind began to shift elsewhere.
Who made that elf princess too beautiful? How many men are fascinated by her, and if they can get her, they won't get tired of playing with her for ten years.
The most important thing is that if this princess can be controlled, he Barney Rosso will be equivalent to having the support of the Elf King!
So, will the throne be far away?
